All are going who can get off on the faith of these assertions. The better plan would be to wait and hoar from those already gone from Charleston, and then, if these reports aic verified and the colored people 'think their interest demands the move, why make it; if not, let them stay where they arc and work out their destiny as best they may. Wisdom would seem to dictate such a policy. Woman Su?crage. On the 14th instant Mr. Wadleight, Senator from New Ham phi re, repor ted adversely on the proposed Con? 8'itutionai amendment prohibiting any State from disfranchising any person on account of sex. Notice w as also given at the same time that a minority report wou'd be offered signed by Senators G. F. Hoar of Massachusetts, Angus Cameron of Wisconsin, and John H. Mitchell of Oregon. When we remember the insignifi cant beginning of the abolition move ment seventy years ago, the persis tent hammering at it by Northern fanatics during all that time, and its n Itimate success, we an- not disposed to look at this move on the part of Hoar A' Co., as a light matter. These gcill lernen are all educated and thinking neu, not mere theorists, and their names give a weight to the movement, under other circumstau cos, it would not possess.

[For the. Orangeburg Times.] Holmes Co., Miss., June 4, 187M. Mr. Editor : Last Saturday night was one of the saddest ever experienced by the in habitants of Kosciusko, for never since the existence of tho town, has it been so severely scurged by the fne fiend. The fire was discovered about 3 o'clock Wednesday morning, issu ing from Mr. N. Thompson's tin shop. There being no fire company in town, tho only way to stop tho fire in its furious course, was to go ahead of it, and pull down a building, thereby making a gap, over which the flames could not leap. This was done without delay, and the roof of the next house, Mr. D. B. Comfort's drugstore, was kept wet. The building destroyed, was the law office of Maj. A Id ham, and was destroyed by his direction. The I >ss so far as I can learn, ii ai follow : J. \V. White's drug utorn and stock, $5,500, insurance, ?4.000; N. Thump son's store bouse and sloe*,$3^000, no insurance; store-bouse and stock of J. T. Kdey cC Co., S-I.OQO, no in surance; store-house of Mia. 15.

Pl.inp Bryant, a bright and piv j.ts youth, was drowned at Prondi ''.imp on last Friday afternoon. Philip was a scholar in the rf reach Camps school, .tiid one of the favorites of tho school. At tin: cl03?? of the school, til ? scll'ji ais obtained permission to go to the river lor a swim. Alter bathing for a short while, tin scholars came out, and the larger hays, having dressed , and went away, they bad net gone very far, when Philip said, "I believe I'll* go in and swim some more." He could not swim without support, so taking a plank, he plung ed in, and was soon swimming about quite merrily, not dreaming of dang er, but a sudden turn caused tho plank to slip from under him. The little boys on the bank ga<rc tffe alarm, but when help came, it was too late. The body was recovered, but all efforts to resuscitate, it failed. Our citizens are agitating the question of building a branch road from J^.;xington, our county seat, . Din-ant. Such a road is very much needed. Lexington has grown as large as it can without it. Give my love to Bill Arp,and tell him to write. Moke Anon. Eternity. Eternity has no gray hairs. The flowers fade, the heart withers, man grows, old and dies, the world lies dow u in the sepulchre of ages, but lime writes no wrinkles on eternity. Eternity ! Stupendous thought ! The ever-present, unborn, undecaying and undying?the endless chain, compos ing the life of God?the golden thread, entwining the destinies of th o universe. Earth lies its beauties, but time enshrouds then, for the grave; its honors arc but the sunshine of an hour; its palaces are but gilded sepulchres; its pleasures?they are but as the bursting bubbles. Not so in the untried bourne. In the dwelling of the Almighty can come no foot steps of decay. Its way will know no darkening?eternal splendor forbids the approach of njglit. The Bankrupt Law.

This we consider, one of the most im portant measures acted on by Con gress The bankrupt law was terri bly abused, and while in many in stances it gave great relief and was proper enough, in many othors debtors only took advantage of it to defraud their creditors. Wo arc glad the law is repealed. It happened in thiswise: They were coming off the steamer across the plank together. Sho was afraid tho plank would tip and she should fall. Ile said, 'Never fear. In that case we shall die together.' Sho look ed into his face and said,'If it's all the same to Providenee, I should much prefer to live together.' And the next week tho knot was tiod. - ?

'Yes, Fred; you have certainly he on very attcutiv o.'said Lizzie. 'But, Lizzie, my dearest darling, do you love me ? >i 1 you he my wife?' 'Your wife, bred I ()(*all things, no ! No, indeed, nor any one else's.' 'Lizzie, 1113 ;>'.?:i sweet darling, \vh at ?1 ? yon mean ?' 'Just what I say, I-red. I've two married sisters.' 'Certainly ! and Mrs. Hopkins and Mrs. hkiuncr have very good hus bands 1 believe.' 'So pe ad ? say; l?tt I wouldn't like to stand in either May's or Nell's shoes; that's all.' 'Lizzie, darling you astonish me.' 'Look here, Fred; I've ha 1 over twentydive rides this winter, thanks to you and my other gentleman friends/ Fred winced a little here, whether at the remembrance ofthat unpaid livery bill, or the idea of Lizzie's rid ing with her gentleman friends, I cannot positively answer. 'How many do you think my sisters have bad? Not the sign of a one, either of them. Such pretty girls as May and Nellie were too, and so much attention they use to have?' 'Now, Liz/.ic?' '1 am fond of going to the theater occasionally as well asa lecture or concert sometimes, and I shouldn't like it if I proposed attending any such entertainment to be invariably told that times were hard and my husband couldn't, afford it, and then **??? ha'-'a him. s'?":'.k off alono.'

I'm of a dependent, clinging nature, and I need the protection of a strong arm.' 'Lizzie, this is all nonsense.' 'I'm tue youngest in the family, and perhaps I've been spoiled. At all events, I know it would break my heart to have my husband vent all ill temper which he conceals from the world on my defenseless head.' 'But, Lizzie, I promise yeu that I?' 'Oh, yes, Fred; I know what you are going to say?that you will be different; but Mary and Nell have told ine time and again that no bet ter husbands than theirs ever lived; uo, Fred, as a lover, you are just per fect, and J shall hate awfully to give yon up. Still if you are bent on marrying, thore are plenty of girls who have not married sisters, or who are not wise enough to profit by their example, if they have. And don't think about me, for I've no doubt I can find some one to fill your place?' But before Lizzie had concluded, Fred made for the door, muttering something 'unmentionable to ears polite.' ?There !' exclaimed Lizzie, as the door closed with a bang. 'I knew he was no hotter than the rest. That's the way John and Aleck swear and shun doors, wheu things don't go just right. He'd make a perfect bear of a husband, but I'm sorry he came to the point so soon, for ho was just a splendid beau,' ?m?? . - . -^iiiiimi. - A Noble Revenge. The coffin was a plain one, a poor miserable pine coffin. No flowers on the top; no lining of satin for the palo brow, no smooth ribbons around her course shroud. The brown hair was laid decently back, but there was no crimped cap with its neat tio boneath tho chin. Tho sulferor from cruol poverty smiled in her sleep. Sho had found bread, rest and hoalth. 'I want to see ray mother,'sobbed a poor child, as tho undertaker screwed on the top. 'You can't; get out of tho way Why don't somebody take that brat V 'Only let me sec her one minute,' cried tho helpless orphan, clutching the bide of the box, as he gazed into tho rough face, agonized tears stream ing down the cheek on which a child ish bloom ever lingered. Ob ! it was painful to hear him cry : 'Ob, let me see my mother?only once !' Quickly and brutally the hard hearted monster struck the boy away so that he reeled wirb the blow, for a moment the boy stop panting with grief ar.d anger, the blue eyes dis tended, his lips sprung apart, a fire glistening through bis tears, as he raised his puny arm, and with the ni?1 unchiidish voice, cried : 'When 1 am a man I will pay you for this !' There was a coflin and a heap of earth between him and this poor, for saken child. A monument much stronger than granite was biti 1 1 in that boy's heart to the mom >ry of this heartless deed. * * *.?? * The courthouse was crowded to suffocation. 'Does any one appear as this man's counsel ?' asked the judge. There was silence when he had finished until, with lips tightly press ed together?a look of strange intelli gence blended with haughty reserve upon his handsome features, a young man stepped forward with a firm tread and kindly eyes to plead for the erring and friendless. He was a stranger, but his first sen tence there was silence. The splen dor of his genius eutrauccd?convin ced, '1 be man who could not find a friend wi s acquitted. 'May God bless you, sir?lean not !' '1 waut no thanks,'said the strang er. ?I ? 1 believe you arc unknown to me.' 'Man, I will refresh your memory. Twenty year* ago you struck a broken hearted boy away from his mother's coflin. I was that boy.' The man turned livid. 'Have you rescued me, then, to take my life ?' 'No, I havo a sweeter revenge. 1 have saved the lifeofamanwiio.se brutal deed has rankled in my breast for twenty years. Go ! and remem ber the tears of a friendless child.' Tho man bowed his head in shame; and went from tho prcsmco of a magnanimity as grand to him as it was incomprehensible. - iHiMi- ??? mW,-.?? - ? Honesty Rewarded. George and Harry worked in the same shop; but as the working sea son was almost over, and there would be little work to do during the sum mcr months, their employer informed them as they settled up on Saturday evening, that he coukl only give one of them work thereafter. Ho was sorry, he said; but it, was the best he could do. He told them both to come back on Monday morning, and that he would decide on the one he wished to remain. So the young men re turned to their boarding house a good deal cast down; for work was scarce, and neither oue knew where he could obtain a situation if he was the one to leave That evening, as they counted over their weeks wages, said Harry to his friend? 'Mr. Wilson has paid me a quarter of a dollar too much.' 'So ho has me,' said George, as he looked at his. 'How could behave made the mis take?' said Harry. 'Oh, he was very busy when six o'clock came; and handling so much money, he was careless when became to pay our trifle,' said George, as he stuffed his into his pocket book. 'Well,' said Harry, 'I am going to atop as I go to the post office awl lianri i t to him.' 'You n re wonderful particular about a quarter,' said George. 'Wlidt <1 ?es he cure about that trillo ? Why, ho would not come to the door lor it, if he knew what you wanted; and I am sure you worked hard oneugh to earn it.' Bui Harry called and handed his cmj loyer the money, who than ked him. for returning it, and went into the hon30. Mr. Wilson had paid e ich of them a quarter nioro than their Wages on purpose t?test liioi;' honesty. Si, when Monday came, he seemed to havo no difH eulty in determining which one he would kacp. Ho chose Harry, aud entrusted tlio ssli >p to Iii.-; care for several in mths., .vh in he w.h away on business, and was so well pleaded with his nmnagement, that, when work commenced in the lall, he gave Iiim the position of superintend ent. Five years n (forwards', Marry was Mr. Wilson's partner; and Cieorgc worked in thf same shop again, hut. as a common laborer. There is nothing like a good c'iar aetcr when you want employment. Some young men can a! way tret work, no matter how dull the times are; while others can lind nothing to do when hands arc scarce, simply beeatue they cannot be tru.-tcd. The Experience of a Lusky Man. Mr. Geo. It. Gornto, the lucky man of Princess Anne County, Va., who drew the $30,000 prize in the Louisi ana .State Lottery, was heavily in debt, with a mortgage on his farm, and things going behindhand with him generally. Ho got hold of a copy of the advertisement of the Lottory. He determined to make a venture. He had but $5.15 in the world. Ho wrote to A. M. Dauphin, P. O. Box G92, New Orleans, and end >sed &2in the letter, and was Suit ?^?LL^io^?iMB it off to the Post. Oi'llce by a bo^Jf when a negro hand of his called on him and demanded his wages, which just amounted 10 $?">. Ho offered the man the $*? lie had left, but this was declined by the darkey, who threat en cii to leave his work just at a criti cal time unless he got the whole. Ho took the letter, and the two dollars out <-t" it, which, with the S3, he hand ed the man. Thus was he with but fifteen cents cash in the world; and- while in this melancholy frame of* mind, about tin hour afterward, a negro man drove up and bought a load of foddsr, amounting to 81.0t), not onough to pay for the ticket, hut with Len cents in his pocket he made up the amount, and rcwiote the hitter and enclosed ?2. The next thing that turned up from that 82 was the gratifyiug intelligence that his tickot had drawn a prize of$30,000j more than enough to alter his cur rout of b id luck, en able him to raise the mortgage, stock his farm well, and put him on his pins again. Such i- luck. ? Norfolk Day lino!:. A Powerful Voice. Just beforo the thunder storm on Saturday evening last, a Whitehall man steppe?! into the telegraph offico at thi' phico,i and requested the privi lege of talking through the telephone with his wife, who was visiting friendsat Troy. Mr. John W. Eddy, the gentlemanly assistant managor, granted the request, and the Whito haller began operations. He couldn't be prevailed upon to believe that it was really his wife who was talking to him, and she so many miles away. Ho finally risked her to say or do something known to themselves only, that ho might he convinced that it was her. dust then a rambling streak of lightning enmd in on the wires* keeling tho husband over on his head, when ho jumped to his feet and exclaimed : '?That's the ole woman, sartin'? only -die's grodo a l e e Ttlo moro powerful since she left hum." Bashful lover: 'Ah miss, I?I wanted to see your father. I've some important matters to proposo to him.' Benevolont young lady: 'Well, I'm sorry father is not in?but can't you make the proposal to me?' Tho wedding cards suon followed.
