TuE caoPs throughout the Union
are said to be very promising.
EvERY NOW AND eItn1 }alyes resur
rects an old fossil and puts him on
guard. Gan. John C. Fremont Lias
just been appointed govern or of
Arizona.
THE WOMEN OF Virginia are going
to pay off the State debt. They
are already collecting butter, eggs,
poultry and pin-cushions in furthi
erance of their patriotic design.
THE DEMocnvs in Washington
are well pleased with the results of
the Potter 'Investigation thus far,
in spite of the howls of Radicals
and the lugubrious predictions of
Aleck Stephens and old Key.
THE LATEST reports from Oregon
give the State ticket to the Repuh
licans, the Congressmen and the
Legislatu,, and corsc(quently a
United States Senator, to the
Democrats. Pretty good. Every
Democrat in Con.ress counts.
THE TOWN OF Sulumervillo elected
the Republican ticket in the muni
cipal election on 'rTuesdlay, by seven
teen majority. Two V Democrats
were on the ticket. This is one of
the straws showing how the Radical
wind blows in the lower country.
THE POWERS oF Eurol)o have
agreed to hold a Con.ress for the
settlement of the Eastern question,
and war is therefore 'temporarily
averted. As it is impossible, how
ever, to please everybody', it is not
unlikely that the Congress will
break up in a row, and England
and Russia will have a cha:le of
knocking each other to pieces after
all.
ONE OF THE i.11port.tt losses
incurred by the peoplo of Rock
Hill, at the recent fire, was the
destruction of the office of the
lampton. herald. This was a
sprightly and wide awako paper,
and it could not but exert a good
influence over the people, besides
being a convenience as a in ediua of
expressing their sen ti hen's. We
would be most happy to see it
again among our1 (exchangesI.
The Indlians andl the Army.
The Indiar,s are said to be on
the war path again. HIIrrowing
accounts come of t,he outrages they
are expected to be guilty of. It is
suggested that these sensa tional
rumors always conmc aboul,t lhe t.imo
the army bill is under consideration
by Congress. And it is hinted that
they are not wholly unconnected
with politics. By the way, the
Senate has refused to accept the
House bill reduicing the army to
twenty thousan d men. Senators
Bayardl, Butler, Gordon and a few
other Democrats voted with the
majority. It seoms a pity that the
Democrats in Congress cannob
agree uipon something, They
always have enough recalci trants to
allow Radical measures to prevail
in important matters. One prop)lo...
sition4 intended to allay Indian (dis.
turbances is to place the Indian
Bureau under the WVar Department
insteadl of the Interior. It is
thought that if t,he thoft.s of Indian
agentis and miissionarics can be
stopped the Red Skins will become
pacified. The army officers, it is
contended, whlijl they may be
some what harsh, will nevertheless
be honest, and this is what the
Indians want. This chango secured,
the Democrats .may succeed in
redu'cing the army and diminish
ing the expenses of government.
SOMETHING "Esm,"-"Anything
riew or fresh this morning ?" a re
portet' asked in a railroad office.
"Yes," replied the lone occupant
of the apartment.
"What is it ?" queried the re
norter, whipping out his note
hok.
Said the railroad man, edging
toward the door: "That paint you
are leaning against."
Such are the loads a niews5ppr
man must bear.-Keokuk Consti
FI'V ASSASSINS LYNCIIID.
A Diabolical Pict to Establt9h Negro
Suprurneacy in Louisiana
A special to the New Orleans Demo
crat, dated 3.iyou Sara, June 6,
tells that en Sunday night,
June 2, as Dr. Wm. B. Archer was
returning to his home from the
house of hi,- neighbor, M-tjor Bur
ton, about 10 p. in., about midway
between the residenco of Capt. O.
Lej-uno and his own, he was fired
on by six negro ten, who were
lying in ambush waiting for him.
Five of the negroes had double
b trrel:od guns and one a musket.
Dr. Aicher was on horseback and
riding on the tap of the levee. The
assassins were concealed behind two
very large cotton wood trees, stand
ing within a few feet of the levee,
aand all of the negroes fired as the
doctor was passing these trees, his
elothes being riddled with bullet
holes and he was thrown from his
horse, but fortunately not much
injured.
The assassins toolc to their heels,
running in different directions, but
it was ascertainodt who the parties
were who had attempted the foul
act, and on Tuesday morning a large
number of citizens collected togeth
er at .Raccourei, where the act was
committe. A jury of twelve of our
best citizens, the most of them gray
h:ire. I men, was closen, who after a
lengthy and thorough examination
found the prisoners, five in number,
onn having made his escape, guilty
of having shot at Dr. Wm. B. Arch -
er with intent to kill.
Many witnesses were examinod,
all colored, and two of the prisoners
were allowed to make their state
ments, havintg requested permission
to do so. They stated that they in
ten le.] to kiil Dr. Archer on Sunt.y
night, and after making away with
hit t hey were to kill Mr. 0. Le
jeune. Mr. William Picquot and Mr.
Frank Burton. They stated also
that they belonged to an organized
club, the object of which was to kill
the leadig white men in tho county
aid establish a nation of their
own ; they gave the names of many
mnenbers, the names of their presi.
dent, vice-president, and a general
expo cse of their plains.
After the ex:aunination closed the
prisoners were coiducteld to a shady
grove, by all the citizens present,
and after a mature deliberation
it. was resolved to turn them over to
the law. 'e prisoners were
placed in charge of a party and
started in the direction of the court
house, but had not proc ceded far
before they were intorruptod, taken
by force and all five of thoe.n hung.
.4 AWYE 'RS AS LE GISLATOIRS.
It is quito fashionable in South
Car.:liia, just now, to condemn Law
yers as not adapted to become leg
istoi,I. S"o11 go o far as to say
that hawyer and liar are conver'tible
termsi, whlile not a few believo the
conien1ces of the members of the
frat ernuit,y to be as conventional as
"'female fashion" and as elastic as
India rubber. It would be well for
those who indulge in thiis wholesale
denunciation, to remnember that
though tricksters andi rascals are
found att the ba:r, they don't all enter
im prnofessi mn, nor is it made up of
sneh . an A it is zaltogether priobable
tha~mt a fair investigation into the

S tte would head to t he discovery of
aL .ather shumthing proportion of
knaves, evenI inl hi it honored calling.
Not oine of our niany agricultural
re der.s will have any difliculty in
callinig to mind farmers living in his
own county, who would provo a
mautch in a gamie of "cheat" with any
lawyer. In selecting candidates, less
regard should be plaid to the calling
andI more to the man himself, foir it is,
t.rue of all callings as of all nations,
"that tIe ro is good in all, and none
alil gm.o 1." No one class can laiv
h mecst claim to all the brains, any
miore thani to all the honesty. The
bucolic simplicity of the farmer is
sometimes n' tended by a clearness of
understanding that may be made ini
valu able in a Gleneral Assembly, and
the "sinmie so child-like and bland," ..f
the lawyer, is not always a sure indi
('ation (If a lie Lrt insensible to justice,

there are more knaves in the law,

Be it us, in order that they may watch
eachi other, if for no better reason.
If it is true that it requires the com
binattion of a lawyer and a politi
,oian to make the "wir'e puller," it
is equ 'ally tm no that this same ad
mixture is frequently knowvn to re-,
sult in the produiction of a states
man. Good men, in these days of
de(1moralization. are not so plentiful
that woe can afford to ignore any
class, whet her it be the professional
the mercantile, the mechanical or
the agricultural-of course, the
clerical is to be considered an ex
ception,- as its functions, being
spiritnal, should be devoted to the
admtinistration of spiritnal affairs.
Were it possible, it would be well
to have each class duly represented
hy its representati. -~n n order
that the interests of each might be
jealolsly watched and protected.

[Special Dispach to tho lVems and C>urier. ]
GREENVILLE, S. C., Juno 10.--On
yesterday Special Deputy Marshals
H. P. Kane, Win. Durham, G. W.
Moose and R. P. Seruggs left
Pickens Courthouse, proceeding in
the direction of the upper part of
the county in the search for L vi; i
R. Rediiond, the outlaw. They
went to the iiouso of Amos Ladd,
twenty-two miles distant, where
they understood he was staying.
The two deputies first named up
proached the house of Ladd, leaving
the others somewh:t in the rear to
keep a lookout. As Kane and Dur
ham neared the house they observed
Ladd standing in the door armed to
the teeth and ready to shoot. In-.
stantly, he pulled trigger at the
revenue officer, but his gun only
snapped. Kane simultaneously s'.ot
Ladd, inflicting a wound from the
effects of which, it is reported, he
died.
Immediately afterwarduKano and
his associates left the place, and the
former went to Easly and thence to
Greenville, where he obtained a ve
hicle, and proceeded to return to
Pickens when he met Durham,
Moose and Scruggs on the way.
The four then camne to this city
and surrendered to Sheriff Gilreath,
who placed them in jail. 'They feel
safer here than in Pickens jail.
VVa.XED U' THE FOnT."-A month
before the bombardment of Fort
Fisher began, the celebrated powder
explosion occurred, which 'was in..
tended to blow down this solia
earthwork, a mile in extent, with
forty..fet traverses every few yards.
Its ridiculous failure is well remem
bored. The night after the explo
sion of the powder-ship some of our
pickets on the beach were captured
and carried on board the Admiral's
ship. Among them was a very
sole inn-looking fellow who sat si -
lently and sai:f,i chewing tobacco.
As there was intense curiosity
among the officers of the fleet to
know the result of the remarkable
experiment, one of them asked the
solemn-looking "Rob" if lie wais in
the fort when the powder-ship ex
ploded ; to which ho replied in the
affirmative-but without exhibiting
the least interest in the matter ;
whereupon the officers gathered
around him and began to ask ques
t:ons:
"You say you were inside the
fort ?"
'"Yes ; I was thar."
"What was the effect of the explo
sion ?"
"Mighty bad, sir-powerful bad."
"Well, what was it ? Did it kill
mny rebels or throw down any of
the works?"
"No, tsir ; hit didn't do that."
"Well, what did it do ? Speak out,
damn your eyes."
"Why, stranger, hit waked up
pretty nigh every man in the fort !"
The Glare county, Mich., .Press

usually good habits."
Sour looks make the time seem
long ; but when the heart is cheer,
fuil the hours are only notes in a
merry piece of music, wvhich leave
a pleasant echo behind as they trip
away..
