WINNSBORO, 8. O. Saturday, April 13, 1878. 3K. MEANB DAVIS, EDITon. JWO A. REYNOLD8, AssOCIATB EDITOR. TUE GREENVILLE Democrats desire the re-election of the entire State ticket. HUBBARD AND THE OTHER revenue raiders recently arrested in the State courts for outrages on inno, cent citizens of Pickens county havo been turned over to the United States courts. It is to be lioped that they will got their deserts. EX-CONORESSMAN VANCE, of Ohios recently disappearod from home. Rumor immediately began riddling his reputation. It was first report.. ed that he had absconded with oth er people's monay. Then it was confidently announced that he had eloped with a music teacher's wife. Finally, his distracted wife received a telegram from San Francisco, saying that he had waidered there and was insane. His case is an examplo of the rarity of Christian charity. TiE UNITED STATES Senate by a vote of forty to nineteen, on Wod nesday, passed a bill compelling the Pacific Railroads to lay up money to meet their indebtedness to the government at the expiration of thirty years. Though the govern ment gave those roads about a ht .dred million dollars in one way and another, yet, through the wording of the charter, it is iu possible to compel them to make restitution. The new bill was bitterly fought, but it will un doubtedly become a law, and thus an ultimate loss of over a hundred millions of dollars by the govern ment will be provented. A Row in Congress--General Shields in Luck, The House of Representatives, at Washington, has been thrown into a state of turmoil over the election of doorkeeper-the last incumbent, Polk, having been dismissed for employing too many attaches. As this is the second Democratic door.. keeper that has "gone wrong," the Democrats were naturally solicitous about finding a man who would not bring the party into reproach again. In this emergency, Beast Butler proposed to lend a helping hand ; and in furtherance of his benevolent design nominatedl "the gallant, christian, married, loyal, t.riedl and truo Union soldier, James Shields, brigadier-general United States army, a citizen of the State of Missouri." An endorsemnent from the Boast is generally enough to damn anyone ; but in this caso as the nomination was prompted by sin ister motives, General Shields is not injured thereby. This was a (dodge on the part of the Radicals to damage the Democrats before the country. The .majority spurned the suggestion, however, nominat ing, instead, Major-General Fields, of the Confederate army. The debate that ensued was character-. ized with great bitterness. Shields is an old Democrat, and bears the marks of both Mexican and C on federate bullets. He wvas usedl merely as a cat's-paw, without havin~g anything to do in the matter. It was developed that the samo Radi-. cals who nowv support him, igno miniously kicd him from the door of Congress, to which he had been sent after the war by a largeo majority from a district in Missouri. The Radicals heard a good deal of plain talk, and made no capital. General Fields was elected door keeper. Immediately thereupon a bill was passed placeing General Shields on the retirod list, as brig-idier.. general, with a salary of thr'oo thousand dollars a year. As he is old and poor this is a windfall to him. It is an ill wind that blows nobody good. DANGERoUs WVOUNDs.. ..Boys and oth.ers occasionally run nails into their feet.

TIIR ICNIG HTS OF HONOR. Second Annual Mooting of the Grand Lodge of South Carolina. The popularity and success of the Knights of Honor, a comparatively now secret and benevolent society, has becn. really astonishing. Tle numberless organizations already in existence for the benefit and amuse ment of mankind, spread over the. entire country, did not seem to le.ve a place for another society. But the projectors of the Knights of Honor engrafted a safe and cer tain priiciplo upon their order by which to cleave its way to an almost unparalleled popularity at once. It was that feature which proposes to confer ladting and substantial benefit upon the widows and or phans after the grave closes over its members. The feature of life insu ranco was added to the plan of or ganization, and indeed madec the chief, leading and governing feature in all its transactions. The order is said to havo originated in Louis.. ville, Kentucky, about five years ago, and was designed chiefly for the inhabitants of that city, but so popular were the principles en grafted upon the organization that a demand came for its extension to other .localities. From this small beginning it has already grown to, a membership of 40,000 in the United States, including within its jurisdic" tion ne:rly every Stt-, and about 1,000 s 'bordiiate lodges now in existence. The qualifications of membership are that. all applicants must be white male persons between the ages of twenty.ono and fift.-five years, who have passed a fav r..bin medical examination, and been elected by ballot. Each member of the third dogroo--and none other is permit ted to enjoy the privileges~ of the widowS' and orphlhan)s' benefit fund -pays for the support of widows and orphans of deceased members at every assessment. The contribu tion varies from one dollar to four dollars according to the age of the members, anid tis amonuit is paid iwhenever less than $2,000 is in time general fund, after that sum is paid to the family of the last de ceased member. The average pay mont is about ten dollars per annum for each member--which car rims an insurance of $2,000. So much for the history and work ings of the Knights of Honor. The Grand Lodge of South Carolina, which was only organized last year, met in Columbia this week, and was in s ssion for several days. We have not been able to give an account of its proceedings because reporters are not allowed within its sacred retreat, despite the anomalous fact that one of the principal officers is a "grand reporter." Unofficially, it is ftated that tihe progress of the order in South Carolina has been quite satisfactory since its institu tion within the State two years ago. Tihe.annual meeting just closed wvas harmonious and p)leaisan t, we are informed, and the representatives from tho subordinate lodges were much encouraged by the showing of the paist year. It was dletermined that the next annual meeting shall take pla,ce in Newberry on tihe second. Tuesday in April,'1879. The following officers were elected to serve tile ensning year: T. S. Moormnan, New~berry, Past GraLnd Dictator ; W. A. Clark, Co lumbia, Grand Dictator ; S. W. .Perrinm, Abbeville, Grand Vice D)ictator ; W. ,J. Dargan, Greenville, Grand Assistant Dictator ; J. S.

"Charles, my dear," said a loving wife, "I thought you said that the dodo bird was extinet." 'So it is, pet," he relied. "Well, but Charley, some one aent a bill to you to-day, and it says, 'To one julop, do do ; to three smashes, do do; to twenty braces, do do.' Chmarley, please do not buy any dodoes ; they must be horrid thmgs."

A young lady visited a summer house called "Hillside," in New York State, ate with twelve other guests and died within the year. The day before she died her physi cian also dined at the same house with twelve other persons, and presently died at Elmira.. A day or two afterwards a brother of the hostess, not withstanding the warn ings that were given him, dined with the dangerous twelve at the same table, and then within fve weeks he, too, fell ill and died. Mrs. Morse wants the peripatetic and persistent reporters to nider, stand that Mrs. Tilton will not, under any circumstances, make up with Theodore. If the French philosophers are to be believed, a woman is never so near being re conciled to her husband as when she swears she will never do any thing of the sort. The curtain in Brooklyn maey go down to. slow music yet. Ben Butl;r's frantic efforts to return to the. Democratic party are regarded with consternation.

One Kansas editor accuses an other of "appearing upon the body politic wart-like and unbidden." Janauschek has received $125,000 worth of jewels from emperors, kings, queens. and the nobility of Europe. Ex-Congressman Vance, of Ohio, who so mysteriously disappeared from his home a few weeks ago, turns: up in San Francisco, insane. The late Earl of Cardigan's horse, which he rode at the Balaklava charge, is stiffed,. and forms a fea ture in the- hall of the faiily man sion, London. Senator elect Williams, of Ken tucky, wears a Murphy badge. A bright and shining exemplar, of tern perance is needed in Congros. Boston Post. There are so few marriages to per form nowadays, that the clergymen should offer chromos to encourage parties to enter the state of mnatri mony.

Irving, the English actor, is a protega of the richest woman in the world, the Baroness Burdett-Cout .s, knife and fork being daily laid for him at her table. His wife disagrees with his acting, so they do not re side in the same nest. A San Francisco church, which was "freed from debt by Brother Kimball," is to be sold at auction for the benefit of its creditors. It turns out that promises to pay, secured in the excitement of the hour, are not so valuable as cash.

When a married man learns that a young lady with a fortune of $150,.. 000 has fallen in love with him, and he goes home and sees a squealing baby in the cradle and the butcher's bill on the table, he feels like kick, ing over the cradle and murdering the butcher, we've been told.--Nor ristown Jlerald.

New Orleans Times on Anderson's requittal :"Perhaps it is best for the country and for the cause of the purity and freedom of the ballot box that the offense should remain the unexpiated crime of a great party, rather than be condoned and settled by a two years' sentence in the penitentiary of one of the many who participated in it and profited by it." Oscar 0. Hodge, convicted of manslaughter in the third degree at Fonda, New York, recently, when asked by the judge whether lie had anything to say why se.ntence of the lawv should not be pronounced upon him, replied "Brevity is the soul of wit.
