Tbe acquittal of Yaldill is pecu liarly fo;Innate ai this juncture, as au evidence of the hollowness of the hue and cry made by Northern politicians and poltroons that the colored man is trodden under foo in South Oarolina. He was given as fair a tiLl as was ever given a wbitemati and, there being a reason able doubt of his guilt, be was given tbe benefit thereof and allowed to go free, as were several other colored men who were tried for the same offence soon after tbe crime was committed. Tbe fact that his skin was black did not in the least pre judice the jury against him. The partis ms, not the good citizens, of tbe North have made much ado about this man who baa been lead ing the people of Pittsburg ‘*out of the wilderneas. n Such strong testi mony of the way in which we treat tbe negro should satisfy them and they should turn their mistaken kinduess to thair brother in black at tbe North where, with their hyp ocrisy, they use him merely aa a tool when he votes and deny bim the privilegea and immanitiea of equal eitizenahipin other matters. Wear# satisfied that the better class of people at the North had no desire to Interfere with the extra dition of Yeldell or, in any way, to retard tbe furtheranoe of justice and they will applaud the stunning reboke tbe acquittal has given the politicians, who have thus bad tbe wind taken oat of their sails. It ia reported that Oapt. J. P. Blackwell, a cousin of the mnrders ed man, and John Blackwell, a brother, made snob threats against the life of Yeldell as to warrant the authorities io obtaining a special train to take him secretly oat of reach of danger. The fact that Capt. Blackwell is a member of the Legislature and, therefore, suppos ed to be a representative man ot Edgefield, makes his conduct tbe more deplorable. That tbe relatives and friends of tbe dead man should show Mine re sentment bocanse his murder has not yet been avenged is not unnat ural, bat it does not appear that there was a concerted action look ing towards harsh measures. How ever tbe abundant precaution tak en to prevent violence is a bright commentary npon the love of law and order of the more conservative people of Edgefield County. it upon Carolina soil. The years are fas: robing by and . ach,in turn puts farther in tbe past the old bit teruess and animosity which, [en gendered between the two sections by the supposed antagonism of in terests, culminated in a disastrous civil war Again a united people we recognize the eornmnnity of iLterests and, a* * consequence, there is a better understanding, a freer mutual intercourse, a..d, above all, a national pride which will, in time, obliter. te all sectional lines. When to this is added tbe influ* ence of societies org tnizetl by the old Koldiers tor ibeircommoa bene fit uud pleasure, the “*-ra of goiwl feeling’’ is nigh at hand. That ibe Robert Anderson Post is sacb an organization there is gotxl reason to believe and every ex Confederate will be gl td of its advent in our midst for the brave soldier is the first to forget old scores. With the politician, the calumniator who is the cause of all bad feeling a id ha tred, relegated to oblivion there wdi he unity, peace and happiness. FORTHHUOOUOF THE COMMUNITY We are infoimcd that one of the gentlemen who owna-certain of the honses on Pe-trle Street to whieh reference was made in these col umns last week, investigated tbe matter, andfiudlngthat the charges ot The News were sustained, imtnc diately ordered his teueuts to va cate. His prompt action is very- gratifying, but from our knowledge of his character it was uot reason able to expect any le^s of him. It uow ouly remains for the other landlords on Pearle Street who are similarly sitnnted to follow tbo high example which has thus been set them. ANOTHER RAILROAD FOR DAR- * LINGTON COUNTY. From the advertisement publish-. ed elsewhere, it will be seen that it is purposed to run the Entawville Railroad through Darlingtou Coun ty. This road is now complete the greater part of the distance from Charleston to Sumter, and it is probable that the intentiob ia * to strike a bee line” from tbe latter place to Cheiaw, where it baa long been intended to find a Northern outlet. In that event, tbe way would be through tbe very centre * f the most fertile farming lauds in >ad|p||jton County, and it is not at all v^robable that a junction w be effected with tbe aew Harisville road at tbe town of Harisville Should tbs present outlook be veri fled, therefore, the people of the weatero portion of the Conuty will have at their very doors two out lets to the metropolis of tbe State and to tbe Northern markets, while tbe town of Hartsville will become one of tbe largeet and most popu. ions busineee centres in Sooth Oaro lina.

In 1624 the general court of Con necticut ordered the confiscation of ‘ ‘all Barbadoes liquor commonly called ‘Ruin Kill Devil’” which should be landed within the Jurisdiction of the commonwealth. The order was di rected against the growing practice of selling liquor to the Indiana But six years before the court had found it necessary to check the indul gence of white men in wine and strong drink. It had therefore ordered: “That no inhabitant ina ny town should continue in a tavern or victu alling house in the town in which he livea more than half an hour at a time, drinking wine, beer or hot water.” The abuses arising from the use of tobacco also attracted the attention of the court The law makers ordered that no person under the age of 20 years, nor any one unaccustomed to its use, should take the weed until he had obtained “a cer tificate under the hand of some who are approved, for knowl edge and skill in phisicke, that it is useful for him, and tliat he has re ceived licence from the court for the same.” An order was also passed “for the regulating of those who had already made it necessary for their use, which ordained “tnat no man in the colony shall take any tobacco pub- licquely in the street, nor in the fields or woods, unless when traveling at least ten miles, or at the ordinary time of repast, commonly called dinner ; or if it be not then taken, yet not above once in the day at most, and then not in company with any other.” The constables were directed to pre sent the names of such as transgressed the act to tbe court—Youth's Com panion.

The wonder of it ia that hio parents are very humble people, who wouldn’t know a square root if they fell over it on a country highway. This boy will soon arrive at a station where higher education for infanta must be pushed up a notch or two. A great many of his fellow pupila are naturally quite jealous of ms reputa tion at his school, and they speak of him as that “smart algebra nigger.” Physically he is something unique. His head, like the earth, is flattened at the “poll.” Its development is largely made up of a protruding promontory (a Cape of Good Hope) and a back ward range of the brain behind the ears. He dresses in the most careless manner imaginable, and especially as to his pants, the southern and rear parts of which are usually several de grees bolow the horizon. Altogether, He is little, odd and a genius.

The last Duke of Buckingham but one died heavily in debt Tbe peer now deceased, succeeding io the title in 1861. immediately resolved, in the meet honorable and self denying man ner, to pay off every shilling that his father had owed. To this end he lived in the most hermitlike simplicity, practiced a rigid economy in every de tail and worked as hard as any clerk In his office as chairman of the London and Northwestern railway. It was said that his knowledge of bolts and couplings, of per manent ways and rolling stock, would have aone credit toon engineer brought up in the company’s service. By these and similar methods the duke succeeded in paying all his father’s debts and ridding his estate of all en cumbrances.—Pall Mall Gazette. KARRI FT). At the residenoe of Mr. B. A.
