Tlic aspect of affairs iti this Slate is somewhat complicated; so much so that the wisest arc unable to solve the problem of tho near future. Our leading men arc divided as to the best policy to be pursued, and it is utterly impossible for human fore sight to pronounce which is right and whicli is wrong. ?So bitter has be come the warfare between tho lea ders of the Stato that personal en counters arc daily expected between several of them. All this is unfortu nate. In such piping times as these men will differ; but they should not allow that difference to breed dead ly hate. Perhaps the time is near at hand when cacli prominent Caroli nian would give worlds if he could unsay that which ho is saying of the other in this unfortunate era. The Whipper Moses Judgeships. Solicitor Butt/, has been interview ed in relation to tho position he holds as to the Judgcship squabble of this Circuit. lie made a pretty clear showing that elections have hereto fore been held for "uuexpired" terms, and that it was the construction placed upon the law by Gov. Cham haw! ' - _-/ oi.ii cral. So far as the Solicitor him self is concerned, he proposes to have 1 consultation with the Clerk and She.iff, with a view to united action. The Sheriff was also interviewed. lie said he "doesn't "arc one way or the other as long as they commit no breach of the peace. He means to keep the peace Ac, that T. V. Sim mons is his lawyer"?and we presume he will begoverned by his advice, lie declared that he would* obey which ever Judge occupied the Bench. The question is, which one will do it? Clerk WiMhnnn was also interview ed, lie declines to express any opinion whatever.?If writs arc is sued by Wltipprr am! Heed to scud either to jaili he will issue both writs and throw the responsibility on the Sheriff. Solicitor Butt/, will leave for the North in a few days, being in bad health, but will be back in time to a.tend Court. Wo will strive to in terview our officers in a few days on lliis important subject, but arc ap prehensive that they will be as dip lomatic in their answers as was the Charleston officials. Altogether, the affair is pretty well. . muddled,, and it will require clear heads to sail in the right boat. There is a gentleman- in Ihfc place who writes for the daurual of Com merce of Charleston. In his last leb ter he took occasion to aliud-} to. the Free Citizen NiAfs and Tl.hj? and the colored brass band. Now as. it may not be known to many what inftkejs these three institutions co "stick in the gentleman's craw," wo have, thought proper to make it known, lie is one of those persons fond^of attcnti6n< Well, the Free Cith.cn has never "puffed" hinj, ihc Nkws Axi) Tjm.ksi has not given him two lines in lo !. these many, days, ? and tho band aforesaid may never "toot" at him. That's all. "When a man quits subscribing for a i cwspnper because it is not enthusi astic for his candidate, and then I ; ) ? s it regiilarb IV<>:\ a neighbor; yub if it} he i i....; the sterling patriotism that characterized the founders of the Republic has not entirely departed, Who Would Have Thought It? The following card from the editor of the. News and Courier was publish ed in the Journal of Commerce, of tbo 24th inst. The only alternative left now to Gch'l Gary is to "call him out." A Card. G'iiAnleston, S. C, July 22, 180G. Jn the Journal of Commerce of this day is a card from Mr. M. W. Gary, in which he repeats his mis stutemcnts in regard to The News und Courier, adding some insolent allu sions to me personally. There arc public reasons, under stood in Charleston and elsewhere, which lead me to postpone, for the present;, my rejoinder to his charges. Meantime, if Mr. Gary, who sets himself up as a champion of the shot, gun policy feels any solicitude as to the likelihood of my raiding the "white Hag," at his coming, he should lose no time in resolving the doubt, unless he is content to be known throughout the State in the double character of slanderer and braggart. F. \V. Dawsox. Jean Inglow, iu one of her poems, describes two friends standing on opposite banks ( f a small stream over which cither one could step. As they walked along the banks it widened m ore ond more till neither could un dcrstnnd the other's voice, and finally, when the river poured its broad : waters into the ocean, they were forever divided. By the head Waters I of such a stream in the Bourbon j politics of this State many war-worn veterans arc parted. They arc walk ing upon opposite shores, and unless one wing or the other of them cross es soon they will find themselves separated forever. The News and Courier and the Journal of Commerce represent the respective sides. What a sad parting there will be unless one or the other steps across shoitly? But " Twas ever thus, ccc." Okangebuiui July 20, 1870. J'.tlilor Orunycbury News and Times : The malicious rajs-statement of the Free Citizen of July 8tb, that rcsolu tions were offered by me, "one endors iug Whippcr as Judge," being repro duced in a creditable journal, it is right that I givo the statement its proper name. It is a lie! I intro duced na such resolution iiespcclfully, A. F. BftowN?xo. Oka no EituKi;, July 20,1870. Editor Otdngcburg News and Times: I sec by the statement of the Free Citizen of the. 8th inst., that resolu tions were oilered by Trial Justice Browning, one of which endorsed Whippcr us Judge. Allow me to state in justice to Mr. Browning, that ho acted as Chairman of a committee of twenty seven persons appointed from the several townships in our county; the committee agreed upon theso resolutions and ordered him so to report. Resolution* came to that committco thick and fast, and the colored members of that committee were enthusiastic in their support of Mr. Whippcr, and euch wanted n resolution in support of him adopted, One was introduced and seemed to bo agreed upon denouncing the ad minis tration of Gov. Chamberlain and other things very strong?there was a modification however. And Mr. Browning was not the originator of the first nor the substitute, nor did be favor cither, but was unfavorable and so expressed himself. I was on the committee, and Mr. Browning spoke to me of it. He would not even read tbo resolutions, but called upon nie to do so. Respectfully, T. K. Saspow as. will. ? - ? r? ? ? - - Arrest of McDevitt. John IT, MeTevitt, the defaulting ex-treasurer of Edgcficld county, was arrested in Alabama last week by Lieutenant A. M. Prnther, of the Augusta police. It will be remem bered that McDevitt absconded about tbo middle of May with about thirty thousand dollars, money collected as taxes from the people of Fdge field. Governor Chamberlain oilered a re ward of one thousand dollars for the Capture of McDevitt. Lieutenant Prather, not belioving the report that McDevitt had-gono North, set out in pursuit. IIo tracked the fugitive to Jacksonville, Florida, thence to Cedar Keys, New Orleans, Mobile arid Montgomery, and finally cap tured him at Tallassc, Alabama, a Jillle town seven miles front any railroad. MoDcvitt offered no rcsis tuuco?said ho intended to return soon. He was conveyed to Columbia and lodged in jail. He will bo taken to Edgcticld for trial.

The Convention then adjourned to meet with the Orangcburg Baptist Sunday School on Friday before the 3rd Sunday in July, A. D. 1877. Benediction by tho President. M. J. Jenkins, Secretary of Convention. Why is This Thus ? Twenly-scvcn lady members of the Baptist Church in Columbus, Geor gia, voted not to withdraw the fellow ship of the church from C. A. Kon drick; and, indeed, so strong was the revulsion of sentiment in favor of this pet disciple of Becehcr that his excommunication was procured but by one vote. When his wickedness was first discovered it was with dilli culty that an incensed populace could be restrained from taking the law into their own hands and the reverend rake was denounced in the most unmeasured terms. He was put upon trial at a special term, con victed of duifcry and sentenced to pay a large fine. This was in a court of human justice and before an equal and impartial judge; but sec bow the Church receives this man after his guilt has been proven and wit what deep and tender solicitude the dear lambs of his (lock try to cloak his faults. We read ami hear a great deal about the alarming spread of infidelity among men, but is not the Church herselt somewhat to blame? Look at Bcecher and Kciidrick and a hundred other similar cases of gross unfaithfulness among the ministry and see how ready church courts and councils are to forgive "the erring brethren/' and to smooth over their ''indiscretions'' for "the peace of Zi 011." This is stretching the grace oi forgiveness a little too much and can only res It It in wi lc-sprcad social ruin. Let the Church require a stricter account froni her stewards, and if a man otfeiid, kiuk him on: without wailing to plaster over his sh or comings with iriixoc poultices of charity and forgiveness simply be cause tie t.-: a preacher and Vdi bi't go KxTitAOitriNAUY ?Vfkk to South Carolina Younis Laihiw?The principal of the Culpepcr Female Institute; located at Culpepcr C; II., Virginia, sends us a communication I of special in ten si to young ladies who wish to obtain a complete education, j but arc tumble to pay lbs' colt; lie oilers to receive three, pupils of this class fr< m South Carolina, a (fording them the best instruction in all the usual college branches, including languages and music,- ami make no charge except for board and washing, about $10 per month: This odor is made by the generosity of a bene factor who desires to remain unknown, and out of consideration for the cir ! cuinstances of many families in our State from whom advantages to which they were .once accustomed are now withheld by the band of adversity; 1 he Culpepcr Institute stands among the foremost in the Old Domini jn, has a full corps of teachers, and its location, in the far-famed Piedmont region, is unsurpassed.

A poor farmer can not conceal the fact that he is a poor farmer. All his surroundings proclaim the verdict against him?his horse, cattle, wa gons, harness, plows, fences, fields, his wife and children, bear silent but un mistakable evidence against him, On the other hand, all these things will testify favorably in behalf of the good I farmer. Every passer-by can read the evidence for and against. This fact ale r e ought to stimulate every fanner to do his best, for the sake of his character as well as interest; for he may rest assured that thoso who sec the evidence will pronounce judg ment accordingly.
