Singing School.?Prof. Evans has been quite successful in getting up a class for vocal musio. The scholars seem to take quite an interest in the exercises, and we predict that through the Professor's efforts many more good singers will be sddod to the number Camden now claims. Many of his scholars have good voices, and they only nred proper training to develop inem. Fancy Toilet Sets, Yases, China Cops, Mags, Toys, Sits.

Badly Stabbed.?On Monday morning last Peter Blair and Wilmot Fields (both colored) got into a quarrel at Bart's Mill, jast below Camden orer a frying-pan. Mr. Cooper interfered, and put a stop to it, and thought that there would be nothing more said about it, but Peter got hold of a knife shortly after the fuss, when he ran up behind Field? and stabbed him throe times? once in the shoulder, once in the back, near the iuogs, and then low down near (he hip. It is reported that the one in the back reached the lung. and it itt considered very serious. Peter was arrested and held to await the result.

Daetnq Robbery.?One night last week, Mr. Kenneth MeCaskill, living in the neighborhood of Bishopville, Sumter County, was the victim of a most daring robbery. Ho bad just returned from market, whither he had carried a few bales of cotton, and was 6ittiug with his family around his fireside, when some one tapped gently et hiB door. Responding to the call by opening the door and inquiring who was there, he was unexpectedly seized by two men and thrown upon the ground and severely beaten. Having disabled him, oae of the villains sat down upon him and, placing a pistol to his temple with the admonition to keep quiet, held him while the other with a third confederate proceeded to search for money?the proceeds, they said, of the cotton that Mr MeCaskill had sold. Finding none, they choked Mrs. MeCaskill for the purpose of making her tell where it was. They snocpedcd in afcprtaininir the where abouts of the sum of one dollar, which with a pistol that they came upon in their search they carried with them as the net proceeds of their desperate errand. All of the parties were negroes in disguise and it is thought one of them at least is known. The com munity is sroused on the subject, and, should conclusive evidence of the guilt of the parties he discovered, it is not improbable that they will be lynchedDpnenwiT Pncfmnotor T^paaVo and X AnOUHAiJ* & VCVHII?O%V? >'V?" wuw Mr. Colin McRae left for Riohraond on Mondav last to attend the United States Court aa witnesses against A- W.

Ww $ The Lee Monument Association. ?The following circular has been re ceived by Intendent Kirkfay trom tne Association, asking our aid in erecting a suitable monument in memory of that noble old hero of the "Lost Cause," General R, E. Lee. The mere mention of his name is enough to move the tenderest chord in the beart ot every true Southerner, and we are certain that there is not a soldier in the South, but what will answer the call liberally Our Isdies are not behind the men in ( their love for this great and good man, ar.d to them we nepd only mention the object to receive their henrty co operation. It has been suggested by the Association that a concert or some other ' entertainment, be erivrn on the 19}h of ' [January (his birthday) as a means of raisins funds. Wo hope that some of 1 our good ladies will take the matter in 1 hand and see what can be done. We f do not want to see old Camden fall be- < hind her sister towns in her contribution. Here is the appeal: t Office Board of Managers of the j Lee Monument Association, j Richmond, Va., Dec. 11,1878. i To the Mayor of Camden, S. C.? Sir; The General Assembly ofVir ginia incorporated the Lee Monament 1 Association with a view to the erection, f at the City of Richmond, "of a Monu- t ment in memory of General Robert E. . Lee."

This Board solicit your co-operation in their efforts to accomplish this undertakiog. The 19th of January next is the an- 1 niveraary of General Lep's birth, and it i is proposed on that day to canvass every ( house in every town in the Southern States; and it is believed this will be the most suitable day for the general canvass to take place. The Board sin- 1 cerely hope you will lay off your city into numerous and convenient divisions, r and appoint canvassers for each, who, upon official notice given by you, shall, on that day, make the domiciliary visits | and solicit generous contributions. ^ It is right and proper that all the Southern people should take part in this [display of gratitude and affection; and there is no doubt, that if applied to ^ personally, they will respond according to their ability. J All funds paid or subscribed in your city should be returned to you with a complete list of contributors of money. . or of those who may subscribe For future j payment, and you will please make your return to R.

The Cotton Market. J Camden S. C., Deo. 18, 1878. i A great deal of cotton is coming into F own now, but prices are still low, rang- ? ng from 7Jc for middling to 8c for the a rcry best grades. The tendency is v iowoward, and there is no telling where ? t will stop. Where parties are paid ic ^ rude, a small advance over the above " c igures may be received. ^ c To the Taxpayers of the Town of t Camden. - F As the people of Camden have con- . erred and imposed upon the present 11 3ouueil the honor and duty of manning their municipal affairs, and the ' lelicate and important duty of imposing axes and discharging the snmo, the J Council feel that it is proper that a jnblio explanation should bo given to E hose who have to bear the burden of c axation whenever a great change is made 8 espccting the amount of taxes to be 1 mposed, or the distribution of the|pub? ic funds. The ordinance to mise supplies for ' .ho incoming fiscal year, imposes a tax \ >f ten milfs upon all the taxable pro- ' [iprty within the town, an increase of 1 four mills on th( rate fix< d hy the last . trdinauc*. We are drivon to this course 1 by the following considerations: The " recent cnange in ine eurji'irmc numn lecreas'-s comparatively 1 itC1 *? the ex- ' penses of the town, while it naturally iiminishes the source of revenue by ! withdrawing a great deal of property J from taxation. Rigid economy in t^e idministration of our municipal affairs J" baa b<*en practiced during the year frawing to a close; but experience shows that something more than economy will 0 be necessary to carry out certain things c which the town is obliged to do. Prom- 1 inent and most urgent among the duties ' which confront the municipal officers iB r ihe solution of the problem of how to provide for our town currency. This ' question must be met some time, and 1 ;annot be deferred for any long period. v Several thousand dollars are in circula- ' lion, and, at certain seasons of the year, >f great annoyance to the business com* c munity, and a debt which the town may ' be cnlled upon to pay at any time. This ^ jnrreney must be retired or greatly re- " iuced in amount, or it will cau?e * jerious trouble and embarrassment at no 8 distant day. The proposition to fund 1 this currency is not feasible, as those c who hold it will not invest in bonds of ' the town. This plan has been tried and failed; another method suggested is, to borrow money and retire the currency, a but, independently of the difficulty of d borrowing money, suoh a course would PDtail trouble and expenso upon the town in the form of heavy discounts, &c. The Council can see no way of re- 1 tiring the currency, except by imposing q an additional amount of taxation every t year, thus providing a sinking fund i which will, in about 6vc years, absorb J the entire amount in circulation, the f amount to be raised for this sinking fund to be carefully applied to that pur- t pose every year. And should it be t deemed advisable not to absorb the cur* t rency entirely, the process may be ( stopped at the point when the amount in circulation will bean advantage and , nnnvpniance to the community instead i of as now, a burden, borne only by patience and patriotism. We would say, for the encouragement of the taxpayers, that Camden is now in a healthy financial condition. Her debt is small, and her credit good. Let us but get the town currency out of the way, or in a more manageable condition, and the way i? short and open to a complete liquidation of our municipal debts. D. C. Kirklf.y, Intcn'lant. Desperate Burglars. A few nights since Mr Goodman's store, at Barr's station, Lexington county, S. C., was broken into and robbed of a quantity of goods. A short time afterwards Mr. J. B. Morris' store, at Trenton, was also robbed. Last Wednesday Mr Albert L. Holly, State constable in Aiken county, while at.a housabout three miles from Aiken, in come pany with a Mr McDonald, noticed two men trving to sell goods te the people j in the house. Heat once recognized the articles as those stolen from the store* of the Messrs. Goodman and Morris, as the description had been furnished tc him, and so stated. Immediately upon his making the statement, ^ni- of tfrp meg.-whose g%me was after- ( wttrdtfttStfeTtoiuwfttf b'o Wb, Wrotor palled out a pistol, placed it at Holly's Proust and palled the trieger.

When R'alton was wounded he began yelling, nd McDonald, supposing Holly was lurt. returned to his assistance, and Meal effected hi6 escape. Walton was larried to Aiken and lodged in jail.

Negro DisfranchisementSome of the leaders of the Republian party are of the opinion that the outrage business cannot be made a tell <? issue in the next Presidential cam taign. It is a mere matter oi sen'inent, they say, aod does not come lome to the people as practical issues Iways do. They admit that if the rhito people are to control the Southern States, they must also, to a very large legree, control the negro vote. The rotes of the ignorant and dependent laRses are always more or less controlled ty the W' althy and intelligent portion if the population. Railroad corp'.raions can and do dictate to their <;n.iloyees. So do mill owners in Pi-nnylvania and Massachusetts. But there 3 a practical question growing out of he Southern outrages, say these men, rhich will claim the attention of the Northern public mind, and that is the [iiestion of representation The South las twenty representatives based on ipgro votes.
