The Ballot For United States Senator.

Conotr?r on Tnefidav'. the the three
UVliUvvr* " ? ? j ,
candidates who developed strength
were Col. J. L. M. 1 rby, Col. M. L.
Donaldson and General Wade Hampton,
but not one had anywhere near
enough votes to warrant the assertion
that he wonld be elected. All
three men are in the race, and the
proFpcet is, if each man maintains hie
present strength on the joint ballot, 1
that tbo result will not soon be
reached.
From the Columbia fiegist r of

down to business in dead earnest.
They were by no means idle before,
but it seemed they were waiting to
receive the suggestions and recommendations
of the new Executive,
and from the immense amount of
matter contained in the address
which demands or suggest legislation,
together with the large amount
of work already cutout, it will probably
push them to get through with it
all before Christmas. They are.
however, making considerable headway,
and notwithstanding the many
important measures yet to be considered,
they will no doubt accomplish
a great deal without extending
the session beyond Christmas.
Among some of the important
measures introduced is a bill for the
reduction of the salaries of Governor
and Lieutenant Governor, and other
State officers. Also, bill -providing
for the abolition of the office of Commissioner
of Agriculture, and of the
Board of Agriculture, and that the
- trustees of Clemson College shall
perform the work. Also, a bill to
abolish the office of Jury Commissioner,
and to involve the duties and
powers upon the Clerk of Court.
A bill to establish a Normal
and Industrial College as a branch
of the Sooth Carolina University,
for the education of white girls,
and to appropriate money for the
bame.
A till was introduced by Mr
k Moseley to regulate the granting ol
m divorces. Also,
^ A bill by Mr. Ruesell to amend
A sections of an act entitled "An act to
fix the fee for dieting pr soners in
county jails," reducing same Irons 30
cents to 25 cents per day.
A bill was also introduced to
g^^ktbolish the office of Court stenograin

Shoollng Affray at the Camden Depot.
From the Camden correspondence
of the Charleston World of Monday
we copy the following account of the
shooting scrape at the South Carolina
Railway Depot on Sunday last:
A good deal of excitement was
created at the depot of the South
Carolina railway this evening by a
shootiDg scrape between conductor
Cleary and a negro named Abe Reid.
As the down tra'o pnlle.l into the
depot Reid attempted to get on the
platform. Capt. Cleary told him not
to get on until the train stopped.
I be negro made some impertinent
r? ply and still pers sted in getting
on. whereupou Capt. Cleary kicked
him off. The negro jumped back on
he sieps and struck ('apt. Cleary
with his fist. When the train came
to a full stop Capt. Cleary got off
and walked towards Reid, who was
standing 01 the platform. When
('apt. Cleary got in a few steps of
him Reid palled cut a pistol and
fired twice at him, one of the balls
grazing the Captain's coat. When
Reid tired Capt. Cleary drew his pis
tol and returned one shot. Reid
then ran to the other side of the
platform and commeuced firing
through the crowd at Capt. Cleary,
hut did not hit him However, one
of bis shots struck a little negro b y
in the back, inflicting a flesh wound.
The people aic very much incensed
of "Roid firinf* through the crowd.
v o O - '
which contained u pood many child*
ren. Heid made his escape in the
woods bef??re any one could stop him.
A short time afterwards he was
reported as being in a house near
the depot. The po ice and a crowd
of citizens surrounded the house aud
made a search, but could not find
him. Roid was convicted at the last
term of court of carrying concealed
deadly weapons, but paid a fine of
$75 and got off. It is said that he
was on his way to Georg:a this evening
when thediflicn'ty occurred.

We always try to make things attractive, but wc do it in
a quiet way. Yet we liavc kept moving onward and np-'
ward until wc have now tilled J
FIVE FLOORS JAM UP,
(without counting our Warehouses,) with Goods, and now
find that we have not yet room enough.
It is because wc buy from first class Houses in large
quantities for Cash, which enables us to sell our Goods at
City prices, and keeps our business in a steadily growing
condition.
We do not try to compete against our neighbors at homo,
but to the contrary, wc wish them all well; but it is against,
the big magnates in the- large Cities we try to compete, and
why not? We buy where they buy, and wc have ihc same
advantages f he Sterns, the Altmansand others of Kew York
City have. We do not mind Charleston and Columbia.?
We can keep at par with them without much trouble. I
We have succeeded in building up a business that is a
pride to Camden?it is the largest in the up-country, never
mind where von eo. Five lioors nacked full with Goods,
{mil tlie Rail Roads and Express brings them in every day.
Always new Goods at lowest market prices.
We employ twelve Clerks, and never dismiss one during
the Summer season, for we find employment for them the
whole year through.
You can find at our place of business anything you wish
from a cured Hog to a live Mule?from a Homespun Dress
to a Silk one?from Kitchen to Parlor Furniture?from a
Xeedle to an Anvil. We sell them cheap for cash and on
credit to all who arc deserving. All can trade with us.
It is impossible for us to enumerate the lines in our different
departments. We have not the time or space, for if
we were to attempt it, we would have to charter the Avhole
paper, and this would be unfair to our neighbors.
