Tl»o marriage of Fred Douglass with ihe tv lift* old maid from New York baa brought much trouble upon the head and pockets of the old hypocrite. Ilia chil- • dren bare rebelled, his bride is a scold* and his quondam mulatto housekeeper, Miss Spruguo, has brought dbit azuiust him for three thousand dollars for serri- cc* rendered and unpaid for. Ki-Judge Tltomas Jeflferaoa Mackey is her ottor- .ney and H. G. Ingersoll, tho noted infi del, ap|>ear.4 (or tho defense. This time we buck the Judge. t «=— 1 lleocnt inTeatigutiO" 8 of the accounts of tho United Stales Maf.-hnU ii> the Southern Slates sh«\v that the Gorern- ment has been more g}sternaticallyaT 1 in- died in South Carolina lhanJfl any oth er State. It U charged (hut cx-Marshal Absalom Blytho, of Greenville, who has been considered t he most respectable itc- publiian official in the Stylo, hna r^potf • ed only about one-fifth of the fce'i and commissions in civil eases, cheated wit- _ nesses but of their earnings and misap- plieiflltc Government funds in his hands uud tho facts made publio give lorcc to the charge. Theee revelations only fortify our po- Mtlon that South Carolina being a bom* ocratie State should have all Federal offi ces filled with Democrats, and our Sena tors ghou'd-consfantly opposc'tho confir mation of all lladicu! appointments.— There is no good in tlist party or any of its members in this Stare, and Gen*. Hampton and Butler know it and should not hesitate to tell it. “Evil communi- cations corrupt good manners,’ uud when s White man in the South goes in to the Republican party he gets on the highway to iludes. a , 1 ^ There arc tww sides to every question, nnd no just judgment can be given in any case until a full, fair and thorough inves tigation has been made. Criticism to be effective must be in partial, far the love of fair play in all English rpcaking peo* pic ranks «n the same grade—the ufsas- mu rrho steals the life nnd the slanderer who destroys the character of an enemy or tival. The acts if all public men arp proper subjects for criticism, and they should beheld to a strict accountability, yet they should receive that (air hearing which every private citisen expects and ii entitled to when his own interests arc involved ; but, unfortunately, campaign tactics too frequently obtain in (he tret^t incut jof pullic servajLts, and the ‘‘ins’’ arc abused without stint by the “outs” who are hungry for place and pap nnd who seek to rise upon the full df others rather than by tl^eir own merits. ThlaTirTtiTscnnon is induced by the treatment that seems to be in course of preparation for the present Board of Coaoty Commissi oners. The<r action with regard to the poor house farm has Excited some curiosity and dissatisfic- tiou, and volunteer jurymen have pro nounced them guilty of grievous "sins against the public pocket book. The enormities complained of arc tho pun chase~of a respectable mule for A173-4o« ■load of a boncysrd veteran ftud the cm- pluyineut of a stewaid at a salary of $300 per annum. We nro not prepared to prophecy whether d. not the experiment will be profitable. The result can ou y bo known at lhc enJ of the year when the bonks are balanced—but the rnmmkdnneis Mjffii.1i 11 _ V¥ -.,i.i Uiiim have decided tImt the public good de mands reform and retrenchment in the pauper system and have adopted this plan as. tly; most promising of satisfacto ry results. The cjst of supporting the paupers of the coUuty last year approxi mated the sum of twenty-six hundred dollars—and no decrease could be expec ted under the old system. The Commis sioners believe that they ertn save money for the tax payers and we have sufficient confidence in them to give them and their experiment a fair trial. The character and amount of the work to be done, the . ^ . ' - success of their sphemca, and tho rcspcc lability of the codnty required the pur chase of a good- male and tho employ Men t of a first 1 clut&ju&n aa&upciiutetid cut. ^Fhqpeoplc of the comity know the ContoitHonOf^ us well as we* do. So far their lives have "been without reproach, and their highest ambition hms been to prove themselves worthy offbe trust-and confidence reposed ia them by the people among whom they have been raised. They have no axe* to grind in this mai ler. With regard to the complaint that the duties of superintendent should have been imposed upon the clerk it is proper to n>y that the time of the worthy occu pant of that position is so taken up with clerical duties that ho eoukl not give that attention to the farm which was conud* ered n«ees*ary to the success of tho plans •of the Board. And we venture to soy that if r.nj tax payer desires more li»h't ‘ (lie Board will furnish reliable infordil- tiun to a try applicants jFor Taa Psoras'] / B4iayfco41#o. -p ■ As wo hat* said in a previous article, wo arc not and never shall be a candidate for any rfteo in the gift 6f the people, so war have oothing to gaiq or to lose by a hi'(d utterance of our ronGmfcnts. We huv'e no cndarani‘0 (hr a man who speaks with duplicity,'or indirection. 1 But we have great admiration for the outspoken and decided man, who, when he writes or speaks, yoU can with safety .urd,cer tainty determine hhr position.- So we want to ray a few plain and intelligible things about this .American nuisance, to us the most detestable, impertinent and impudent,charAcfcr itf al! the world, and what adds to the misery of the thing, they nro so universal, and from tho tes timony of history they have ever been so. We bhiill be explicit in our definition of this charncftr.. They are those who arc always looking abroad and never at home. 1 hey arc constitutionally so rest less and inquisitive that they can’t bo contented or quiet unless they are diving into the affairs of other pcop'e, lluireyca are always ctpcii to Jee everybody around them, and everybody's affairs, but fur their lives tbgy cnnnotscc themselves and their own concerns. Such a fearful reftlcssne-s and sebfehing humour be* longs, to them that they do not enj«y their own meals without knowing what is on their neighbor s table. They eaunot go to sleep in peace anti quiet without finding cut when their neighbor goes to bid, and when ho rtwi.i. They are not contented with' tlu ir social circle, unless # * they know who visits (heir neighbors, untTwhourthey visit. They nro not snl^ i.-fitd with knowing their own revenues and how much they spend, without knowing tho revenues and expenditures of their neighbors. They are fearfully restless un*.il they find out and interfere with-both tho private wnd public affairs of others. It seems os if it were an im possibility Tor them to nmiiTjlbrir own business and let other people's alone. With this dulinitiou, we uow proceed to show the irrcpurubla mischief this charactir doesi , • 11 g Mischief No. l-j-Thcy break the peace of tamilics and com man tries. They do this by treacherously Mipplnuling and undermining others, for it is a scli'-evi- dent truth, that no one pries into the af fairs of others witltout tin ^design being to do them nn injury if they posa'bly can, and if they fail, it is only because they arc not able to carry out theit evil purpose. How often arc Neighbors made bit'er enemies by tliis malicious class, who otherwise would have remained warm friends. Ilow often is the peace and unity of church members broken by this meddlesome nnd undermining char actor. For, unfortunately for tho inter est of too many of onr churches, you find this disguised character within the sacred fold ol Christ. How often do they ma- luiously intcifcro with the matrimonial arrangements of the yoting, making and- breaking alliances with which they are not concerned, and frequently io the in jury of the parties interested. Their mis sion is like the tails of Samson's foxes, carrying firebrands, and if they coqM, would set the w hole world in a flame of ? ... v — contention, stnlcnnd war. - Mischief No. 2—'iheir friendship is that of hypocrisy. For no true, lasting friendship can exist where such insin* eerily exists as is-fimnd in the character of-»-busybody. Their friendship is like na earthen pot, it takes but little to break it into a thousand pieces, and it can bo broken at any convenient season. It is not worth having. Nothing but the slime of insincerity glues on such treacherous characters as bus) bodies, and when the dissolution ofTriendship occurs, this very slime will become a fuel to increase the flame ot hatred. We can truthfully say, iu the language ef another, “From a!l such, good Lord, deliver us. ,r ^ id mat labftine sb*pa 1, lagpber Mlv Succeed from feodehfttJy to itn* eatabfcsbroefcfe 10; I vdty veil. - V 13. Number nod acreage! of farms worked exclusively by colored people, and with vrbat auccese? About 30 per cent, of farms. They are ai&iveaful ouly in a few notably exceptional ca ses, though a few of aui-h colored far mer* have bben very eucc* asful. If. Condition of Colored fat mere aa land-owner* and tenants? Aa a rule, the condition of the Independefit col ored farmer la “from hand to rooutli” whether landowners or tehanta, though a* landowners they are aomewbat toore auccessfful; and this for the reason that they feel more interest fo' the land* they occupy, aqd, remaining in one place, they retain the email aecurmi- latlonb which are wasted by roaming touunts. Yet. even this Incentive to im prove the boldit^gs they poasiss does not induce the same thrift and energy on thfe part of the colored proprietor, save in exceptional case*, that it does with tho class of well to-do small white farmers who own and work their own land*. - 15. Are colored farmers making pro gress, saving money and acquiring lands? As a rule they are not, though a few of them t xhibit encouraging ef forts to better their condition, and are richly rewarded Jjy a hopeful success. 16. Number and nationality of Immi grants In the count) ? There art only a few Immigrants iu the county—Eng- ll-h and German; seldom engage cs la- borets and not very successful, uof have they proven the best of labor. 17. Operation of the Stock law? It Mischief No. 3—Their influence, fre quently powilful, is secretly aml-Miotuly working evil, an 1 evil only. They tlo nothing openly, hut all their work is claudestinc aud hidden. Like the adder they carry deadly poison ic themsslves, and secretly destroy others, not them selves. “Vies oft Is hid In virtue's fair dt-gulsc, And tn her Ixirrow'il form escapes Inquir ing eyes." James. F. Btisr. The South and the Camerons.— I sometimes think that among the best friends the South has hid since the war were the, Camerons, of Pennsylvania, fath er and son. Tho South would hare had a much harder time but for them. I know that One Senator from our section owed his admission originally to General Simon Cameron, who was prevailed upon to use his powerftxl influence - in that uarter by a Democratic friend who is udtvqne of tliwynost eminent mcrehitnts in the world and cne, too, who has done more to b^pth qSouth industrially than any other person within my knowledge. Th* younger Cameron would hate saved th«Jrhoile Democratic organisation of the Senate if ho could, and his vote was ready for that purpose. I think it like-; ly, too, that iu evil days to come possi ■ bly, the. South will find Don Cameron, Republican though ho is, a valuable friend, if compelled to be an enemy.— J. R.
