The Louisiana-. licturuiug Board has been indicted by the Grand Jury. Let them bo made to feel the law. They defied it during the days of | Packard. One of the most prominent law yers in New York regards Tweed as still one of the richest, men in the country rating his concealed posses sions anywhere from $0,000,000 to $12,000,000. This legal gentleman also stated that not a tithe of these vast possessions would ever bo given up by the Boss or his heirs. Unfortunate The "NYilliainsburg Democracy is badly divided; and there seems to be no immediate prospect oi.' a "making up." One portion of.the Conserva tives contend that the County Executivo Committee expired with the last campaign ami that all acts committed by it since that time are usurpatory, and contrary to party regulation. Both factions havo now called Conventions for tho purpose of electing a new County Chairman and an Executive Committee. This Just campaign has proved the mcst disastrous to the Turks of any attempt they have over made to over come Montenegrins. From the day that Suliman Pasha and Ali Saib set out to cflcct a junction anel crush Prince Nikitn's little army with their united forces, it has been one grand carnage. Out of 15,000 baslii-bazouks who entered Montenegio with the Turkish army fully 11,000 arc now dead or missing This is independent of the loss among the regular troop3, who funned the bulk of the army. '1 here are 2,000 Turkish wounded at Scutari, and 1,000 more arc expected to arrive. - - "?J ? . *>? - The British Govern incut has infor mation that the Russians intend to occupy Constantinople at all risks, unless the Turks anticipate thai event by niaking pc ace on the Czar's terms. The effect ui' the receipt of this and ollierdiitelligcnco as to Russian in tentions, Fays a correspondent, has been to modify considerably the view taken bf the crisis by certain members of the Cabinet.

Tho Judgo thinks tho no groes and whites are getting on bet-, j tcr together than ever before; that tho ^Presidents policy is working well, and that South Carolina meaus to ' pay her debts. Thoro seem -t > bo few honest Republicans who regret tho overthrow of tho Chamberlain usurpation, and Judgo (Aupai^ter is not one of those few. - it ? o- - Tjtc National Republican of the 10th iustij in giving, biographical sketches ol" the female clerks in the Department at Washington, speaks in this - strain of the "rib ' of the ex its urjper, 13 II Chamberlain : Miss Alice C Ii.gersoll, at present the wife of ex-Governor Cham berlain, of South Carolina, w as pronounced one of tha loveliost women who ever trod the mar ble halls of the Treasury. Mar ried now, she has gono to graco a new sphere of duties, inoro in accor dance with her earlier life. It does not seem inopportune to plaeo her here among these women, as the recent prominence of her um band in national affairs will in terest many in knowing where Gov. Chamberlain found his v/ife. The daughter of JDr A Ml Ingorsoll, for many years a member of Congress from New York, sho was reared hi luxury and enjoyed all the advanta ges of high educational culture. After the death of her f ather and wheu bis business matters were settled, the daughter found herself in penury, with an invilid mother looking to her, as tho weak ever do to the strong. With the highest sense of duty, she built the walls of protect ing love around the mother, and did the work cheerfully and well, that her hands found to do. Heir father's friends, among them Williau Pitt Fessendcn, obtained for her an ap pointment in the Treaiury Depart ment, and there she remained dis charging her duties with tho utmost satisfaction, until her marriage, around which there lingers on nigh of romance to make it interesting^ Air Chamberlain, at the time Attor ney General of South Carolina, saw a photograph of Miss Ingersoll in the possession of a frien 1, ail w.n a > much attracted by it that ha inrn ? diatcly came to .Washington and sought out the original of the picture.

Hayes' organ says: Governor Hampton has returned to South Carolina, after having effected a loan of $100,000 lo defray the expenses of bis government until the taxes can i be .collected. The course of General Hampton while in the North is worthy of all commend ation, for he said nothing which was not calculated to promote a friendly feeling between the, North, and the South. Would that all our public men were as wise and patriotic.. - ? ?mim . - ? IIMli ? The Solicitorship Again Ol.ANGF.UUrtO, S. C July, VI 1877 Editor Oranijcbury AVfcs and Times : ; With the thermometer at ninety degrees, and the great demand which agricultural pursuits make upon tho time of many of our citizens, it s&om3 strange that such an interest should bo felt in this county with reference to filling the vacancy in the .Solici torship. W hilst the position is one of much importance, itnd the selec tion for it. should be a good one, and whilst, wo expect and look for the appointment of a good man, yet there, are other reasons which will make this one of the most nnmcntous public nets of Governor Hampton's administration. "Wo -trust that preference will have nothing to db with tho matter. It is our hope that because .'M r ?o-nnd-So succeeded b> getting the -nomination under a chaotic. and uncertain slate of the public, pulse; that. it. will 'tied. b?! !akcn for 'granted that he would .be. lias choice, of. the??yu oj?'c h>-?otl\ Jov7(i and i&77i are difrerctlt.

Lot tho living present speak for it'"If. Let the people be con sulted in the matter, and the tale of 187G will not bo repeated. Now, Mr. Editor, this brings us to our point. Wo ask of His Excel lency the appointment?if such bo made?of a lawyer of Orangeburg. We do not menu to ask for this up-^ poinlment on tho. ground of recogni--. lion of rights alone, but upon the higher plan of comploto fitness for tho position. Our candidate is W J DeTrcv'dle, Esq. A tjd why does Orangcburg oak for bis election, to tho office in ques tion ? We mako it, first, because we bavo some ono competent. 2nd Because wo are cf the lit Judicial Circuit 3rd. Because wo have had no repre sentation outside of the Legislature since reconstruction. What has Charleston to-day ? 1st. She has her Attorney General. 2u 1. 3ho has her Congressman (from which results a large Federal patronage) And she has always had Solicit ir ! Now, Mr Editor, I believe the people of this county arc as one on this question. Tliey want the Solici torship, nnd they mean to have it by hook or by crook. Votum.

To the Editor of lYcics and Time*: Our usually quiet neighborhood has been in a perfect ferment for the last few days, owing to a recent visit down here of one Straker, a negro, who says he is a lawyer, who came in company with cx-Tfeasurer and ex convict Humbert. The insolent con duct of Straker to the Trial Justice Bush, before whom he had a casp, and to the white people generally, has stirred bad feelings between the races, or, at any rule, has made.the .negroes very inso lent to their employers. Hp, Straker, is to he down here to-morrow, Thursday, autl tho negroes have generally notified i ho w hites that they will not .work on that day, bacp/ise Mr. Straker .; says they must covie toxhear him speak. The negroes are perfectly wild; iu fact, they seem from their conduct to imagine that Straker wiii learn them some plan by which they cau get the "lop rail" at the bo t torn again. Now, Mr. Editor, in the name o f peace and protection to our wives and little ones, we protest against the conduct of this man Straker in hold ing political meetings while our crops arc suffering for work,and in stirring up the negioes against the white people who are their best friends. If Straker wishes to make political speeches, let him retire to Birmtiia. Ho has pestered this people long enough. We cau stau 1 his impudence and his incendiary talk no longer. His conduct, in the Trial Justice's Court last Friday, was such that a whits boy who came to testify against his client was so terrified that lu could scarcely give his evidence, and after he had testified some what iu behalf of Straker's clie.it he, Straker, then promised tha witness that he should have protection. The Trial Justice was Compelled to order Strak er'down several tun vs an 1 to threat en to rule him on account of his out rageous behavior. A. S. Norton. Tito Postal 0 > nmittoe.
