Keedish at its head was triumphantly elected. The opposition ticket was a puny thiug and whs fearfully beaten. It strikes us that the lawyers in Columbia in charge of the interests 61 the Democratic candidates must to have blundered somewhere. They have been pegging away before the Supreme Court for three months now, and it appears to us that they have uot yet got their case fairly before that Tribunal. A (tuar'ct of gentlemen were en gaged discussing their powers of im agination in front of Wallace Can non's store on Tuesday last. Tho question as to who of them is the most imaginative was left undecided. They are to meet again soon under Bill Sain as umpire ; meantime a new supply for their gasometers will be taken in. PROUD OF I US POSITION? One of Judge Heed's constables who went to C harleston to bring up prisoners who had been confined in the jail of that count)' to await trial ht our Sessions court, seemed to have been much pleased with his errand. He showed his deputation as consta ble to nearly every person on the train, and when coming back with the handcuffed culprits, desired all par lies to talc3 a look at the "men under his charge." The said constable claimed that he was a ''bigger man than old Grant." A LIBERAL OFFER? The celebrated fertilizer, Wilcox, Gibbs & Co.'s minipulnted guano, is offered on liberal terms, delivered at depots in the interior, with option of paying in cotton on the basis of 15 cents for middling, dilivero I at plan ter's nearest depot by the 1st Novem ber next. This is a very favorable offer to farmers, as they will know when they buy the guano exactly the number of pounds of cotton required to pay for it, and can make their cal culations accordingly. Call on die local agents and forward your orders at once. 1 The ca*e of the State vs. T. S. Woodward charged with tho murder of West Curry in July last came on for trial on Thursday 1st iust. Messrs Taft and Straker reprcsen ted the Slate and Messrs Browning & Izlar, Dibble and Huts ill the de fense. The case had excited consid erable interest and a large crowd of spectators thronged the Court House. The case occupied the whole day and tho Court remained in session until nearly 10 o'clock to conclude the trial. dipt. I/lar and Malcolm I, Browning, Esq., argued the case before the jury for the defence and both made able and eloqnent speeches. The jury retired about 9 o'clock and after remaining out about one hour returned into court and tlt3 verdict announced "Not Guilty." Amid very evident and palpablo attempts at applause on tho part of the spectators Mr. Browning raovod for the discharge of iho prisoner and his motion was granted. Crowds of persons gathered around tho dofon dunt and his able counsel and exten ded warm congratulations upon the result. Wo are told that in the recent elec - tion for municipal officers for the town of Brauchville, considerable interest was manifested. It appears that on Saturday evening preceding the election, a caucus of the citizens was held, at which W. Hi Reedish, Esq., was nominated for Inteudaut, and two whites aud two colored for Wardens. Saturday night a ticket was brought out with Mr. E. T. K. Smonk as Intendant and three colored and two white for Wardens. On Monday, the day of election, the two colored, who had been nominated on the first ticket, sided with the Sin oak ticket, after which the whiles and a portion of the colored put up und elected a white ('ouncil as follows : W. II. Reedish Intend ant, A. F. II. Dukes, J. C. Reeves, R. Li. Berry and A. F. Fairey .Wardens. Some people arc opposed to round dancing. One authority says: "There is no pleasure which so completely sets at defiance the laws of propriety and decency as round dances do " "The dance in the parlor will soon , be substituted by the protracted and j exciting dissipation of the ball room. The fondness for the dance becomes n passion, and may lead a woman to to iK? devil." Why not say that it may lead a man to the devil too ? Ot is it that the latter animal undergoes no danger while going through the mazes of the dance ? We kuow one authority, however, who favors every variety of round dancing, and paints the charms of on a of them in the fol lowing lines : "Muse of the many twinkling feet! whose charms Are now extended tip from legs to arms; Terpsichore ! too long misdeemed a maid ? Reproachful term-bestow'd but to upbraid? Henceforth in all tho bronze of briglUneba shine, The least a vestal of the virgin nine. ******* "From where the garb just leaves the bo som free, Thai spot where hearts were once supposed to he: Hound all the confines of the yielded waist Theslrangcst hand may wander nndisplaeci', The lady's in return may grasp as much As princely paunches offer to her touch. Pleaded round the chalky Moor how will they tip, One hand reposing on the royal hip; Tho other to the shoulder no less royal Ascending with a fleet ion truly loyal! Thus front to front the partners move er stund, The foot may rest, hut none withdraw the hand ; And all in turn may follow in their [rank,' Ac. - mm ? mm "Wade Hampton, Governor of South Carolina," is the subject of an exquisite life-size engraving, just published (and now ready) by our enterprising friends, Walker. Evans & Cogswell, Charleston, S. C. We congratulate these gentlemen on the , grand success they have made of so noble a subject. As a work of art it stands unrivalled, but still its chief merit lays in its i'cing a lift-like por trait. It is the first product, on so large a scale, of a new and secre'. pro cess based on photography, having the advantage of great tru hfidnc**. As the photograph has sit pcrsedod the. oil-painting, because of its exac re production of the subject,so thin pro cess is bound to take the place of steel engraving, or any method which depends upon artistic conception and execution for results?we mean for the production of portraits. What the people want in a portrait is truth ?they do not wish the artist's con ception of a man, but the face and fea tures of the man as he is?and by no means can this grand result bo bettor attained than by tho means of photo graphy, and this new process based thereon. But while these great ad vantages arc secured, it admits of the embellishments of art, aud a portrait is produced possessing all the truth fulness of a photograph, with the artistic effect of the steel engraving. The publishers have been cxtrcmoly fortunate in tbeir selection of tho mode by which they give to all ad mirors of tho great statesman tho noble, generous, manly features, which speak so plainly, the great mind, ole vatcd feeling, and generous heart of Wade Hampton. Those who worked for the grand causes "Hampton and Home Rule," who Iiavo paid taxes to the govern ment of their choice, can now place this picture at their firesides, as they have placed its subject in their hearts It must become ono f the "Penates" of South Ccrolina. Those who sympathized with this gaPant little Slate in the struggle agninstsuoh tremendous odds, will bo pleased to have this portrait in their homes?a glorious memento of a peace iul, noble effort of a liberty loving people to rtdeem themselves from oppression nnd misrule. It wil} be aold by subscription o i ly, at $2 per copy. Agents wanted to canvass every city and town in the land. To those who cannot be reached by agents the. publishers will supply copies per mail, on the receipt of the price. We trust that this thoroughly Southern enterprise will receive the encouragement it deserves.'" TEN NIGHTS IN A IIA II-ROOM. We naturally feel some hesitancy in treating amateur representations. It is questionable whether it comes within the legitimate province of newspaper criticism to speak harshly of amateur performers. It is like looking a gift-horse in the mouth. In the present instance, however, we have a lot of pleasant, things to say concerning Prof. Berg's Glee Club, ami their creditable rendition of this somewhat difficult drama at Masonic Hall on Wednesday and Thursday nights of this week. "Ten Nights in a Bar-Room" was dramatized for the purpose of placing before the public in a conspicuous and convincing light the evils atten dant upon dealing in or drinking ardent spirits. It conveys with dra matic force the beauty and loveliness of sobriety ou the one hand, and the hideous arid ghastly spectacle of a drunkard's life ou the other. The career of the erring inebriate is faith ful ly tlelincntid from the time that the first social glass of whiskey is taken up to the p int where he de scends to the bankrupt in character and the brute in disposition. It ex hibits also hi undisguised and repul sive tongue the lives of those who make their living by dealing out this liquid poison to their fellow men, and portrays in eloquent representation the terrible truth thai liquor selling is a bane to society, and that the for tunes made by it will in the end bring trouble and disgrace upon those who amass them. It was to witness enacted upon the stage these scenes that the ifitc of Orangeburg visited Masonic Hall on Wednesday and Thursday nights last. The ore lustra?il we may be permit ted to so designate Prot. B rg's ex cellent band?was in superb trim, and dispensed music which should have made Simon Slade ashamed of his culling. SSwitchel" displayed won lerful his trionic power in the roles he assumed, and went through them with marked success, considering the number of times he embibed at Sladc's bar. The landlord, "Simon Slade," and his son, "Frank," performed their parts with a great deal of natural ease, and afforded a striking cxamplo of the absence of conscience from the characters they represented. "Mrs. Slade" won encomiums from all aides, aud elicited much admiration b) the manner iu which she declared her preference for the humbler walks of life, to those enjoyed by tho wife of a landlord who rondo his livelihood by selling liquor and cheating drunk nrds. "Joe Morgan" delincnted tho sad phases of the drunkard's lifo to abso lute perfection, and gave cvidenco of tho lact that ho was not a stranger to thc*tagc. His wife illustrated the nev er-dying devotion of a true woman, and in tho anguish of her soul gave force ami siguificauco to the words "for better or for worse.'' Their little daughter, "Mary Morgan," was full of paternal love, and, despite her father's disgrace, clung to him until she died. AH unite in saying that "Mary's" acting was a marked feature of the performance. With a voice of rare sweetness, sympathy, melody and freshness, "Mary" attracted and won the plaudits of tho night. "Harvey Green" was true to his character and took off the gambler in handsome style, while "Willie Ham mond" acted the role of the rich, un guarded young man to thesat isfaction of the entire audience, and succeeded rcmarkab'y well in bringing his father to poverty. "Harvey" and "Willie" were faithful to nature, and showed no signs of stage timidity or afleetalion. "Ten Nights in a Bar-Room" is a melancholy drama. Full of misery and death, it yet teaches a us ful lesson and imprints itse'f in indelible characters upon the mind of every one who sees it enacted It is the most eloquent temperance lecture ever Fpokcn, and paints the drunkard and ihc liquor dealer in their separate, distinct aud personal roles. In conclusion, we have to thank Prof. Berg and the Glee Club for the pleasure afforded our citizens in the presentation of so instructive a drama. We have the talent here, which, when properly cultivated, will reflect credit on Orangeburg, and furnish all the amusement our citizens desire. Let Prof. Berg persevere in his present course and he will become indispensable to the enjoyment of the town. - . - SCARCITY OF MOSEY?
