The game principle controls whether the dignitary he a monarch or an humb'o legislator, only in proportion to the honor the odice is supposed to confer upon tin; holder. These exorbitant pr ices come of course out of the people's pockets through taxation and. go to fill the extortioner's code rs, showing how a /< ic <;/' the jnnjilc will swindle tin- muni/ through their representa tives in office: "Tho Hhah of IVr.-ia left twenty - live of his thirty-six caskets of goid at Paris, where he spent SO J'.).Oil).

"We arc authorized to say that al 1 citizens of South Carolina accused of oHenses under the Ku Ivlux law, who have left the Slate on account of prosecutions against them, pending in lite United States Courts, may n??w return with safety to their homes where they can reside without fear of further molestation, upon the sin gle condition that they be peaceful v.va'. buv-^Avi^nig e'lt'iv.ens. Governor Hampton himself gives the assurance that there is no longer any risk of further prosecution on account of for mer offenses." Kann st efforts are also being made h\ Gov. Hampton to secure a gener al amnesty for the illicit distillers in our upper couutio;?some tinio ago the smite matters were, br .ught to tho notice of President Hayes, but then he demanded the cessation of all prosecutions against the corrupt office, holders as a return or consideration for this act of manifest justice. Per haps this return to a *enso of justice is as much due to Mr. Potter's com mittee as to Gov. Hampton. The mill of the gods are grinding slow ly, it may be, but surely, crelainly. - i ? il jn ? - ? um? in The Treaty of Berlin. The great dissatisfaction, which arose among the lairopean powers about the Treaty of San Stefano entered into bv Russia and Turkey. I I necessitated the meeting of those powers at Berlin tu revise ami adjust such points as were calculated to dis j tin I) the harmony of Europe. That ( n tigress has adjourned and its re sults arc a completo up-setting of tho terms of the lir.-t treaty. Indeed the vast amount of money and blood spent by Hussin and Turkey have all been in vain, so far as those two powers are concerned; hhiglnnd and Austria have managed the affair to suit themselves and of course the lion's share id'the spoil goes to them. The following are the terms of the treaty : Russia gets the repossession of her old province of Bessarabia, a narrow strip of Armenia, the commercial us j of Balouin on tho Black sea, together with a humiliation among the powers of Europe a proud people will not long brook. Turkey loses her possessions in Europe and therefore her power. England gains Cyprus and the protectorate of Asiatic Turkey, which give her the complete control of Asia as well as the whole of Wester n and Southern Europe. Austria gains the military occupa tion of Jlosnia and Ilorzegorvinia, which simply means tho ultiin.ito incorporation of these provinces with the Austrian ICmpiro. Bulgaria ami Eastern Uoitiuolia ire to be scmi-indcpcn laut prhici palities. Roumclia (proper), Servia an 1 Montenegro, each with increased territory, will hereafter ho lot illy independent of Turkey. 'J hesb are the tmiiii point? of ih ! treaty ol Berlin an 1 uf c mrse will change tin- map ol South Leistern Europe materially. There is no dotiht that Uussia, so soon as sin recovers from tin; elfects of h< r ree nit war, with Turkey, wi J make a qu i.* rel with England and engage the w fcole of* Europe in a most dis isteroti i war a pr 'text for which may at any time he found in the terms of the Berlin treaty. In tie', mean time eoitoii will again b ? king a ml our citizens his willingsubjects? s niton t t> pay tri hole to enrich the manufac turer and impoverish themselves. [ l-\<r the Oranjrebiiry Tho.'-.J ?V//" or 1 riui'ji >>nr-f Tini' S : 1 hope you will give me a. littl \ more space to say only a lew words in reply to an article written by "Critic," which I scj couched in the Okanoer.i'ias Times, dated July lite 6th 1878. In giving my sentiments June the 29th 1S7-S, I thought it would prick the conscience of some, and arouse them to criticism. ?'Cri tic'' seems to think the article, 1 had published, is any thing but con sistent; that my programme bears on its face the feature of proscription, and thai 1 would have a class ignor ed, who are a portion of the body politic. 1 differ much with the gentleman, and so will any reason able man. It is consistent, aud if the writer would impartially decide, ho would readily acquiesce with mo, and would see on the face of my pro gramme nothing but the jewel of tiWuisteYicy'r " -. - - - ? It is true I did say, if a certain class got in power they would do more injury to the government than the Seal hi wag, Cai pet-bagger, or Uadi cal has ever done. I say so still, but do not wish to ignore any but those who merit it, and I truly hope, none of that, class will be elected to fill any ofHcc of honor, or trust. 1 did not mean to have any voter disfranchised either Democrat, or ?epublican; neither do 1 wish to deprive any citizen of their equal rights under the law, but desire that our government be managed and controlled by hon est, well-thinking men?men, who are not easily biased, nor manacled in principle Is there any incon sistency in this? no. "Critic" may be an aspirant for office, if so, I think he has satisfied til 1 people by his use of latin, that he has ability. We Would like to know il he is one of the charae tors alluded to in our article that we might been our guard ? Wo would probably have had no surmising had he not come ;>ut in such a burlesqu ing manner about the many candi dates proposed, and seemed to be so very jubilant, uttering words of triumph in anticipation of their de feat, lie seems t<> have a thorough knowledge of theology. I wonder if there is no room tor improvement, ho may be one of the would-be aristo cracy (?) if so, he is not to be dread ed, because his arm is loo short, yet we believe he has ability, and hope he is honest. Let Uh Am. Tiw To Be Honest. - - -*> ??????? An Incident. Yesterday moruing a Confederate battle Hag was found limiting front the toj) of the large derrick at the monument. Some one had climbed up the ropes in the darkness of tho night aud fixed it tit its perilous height, and there, Hashing in the morning sun, was the starry cross that fifteen years ago was the emblem of a nation's hopes. Many a heart leaped at the sight, and many an eye grew dim as memory rushed back through the intervening years to the comrades whose ringing laugh and joyous shout had brightened tho cam]) and whose forms were foremost I in tho field, who now sleep beneath j i.hc shadows of the pines fro n tho Potomac to tho Itio Grunde, from the mountains to the sea.

Well, reckon somebody did it, and now the issliu in our District is whether that organization is or is not worth preserving: Radicals and Independents are on one side and the organized Democracy on the other. This is the substantial question. There is nothing else in it that I can see?no charge of fraud or trick, no bribery, no corruption. The gaunt let has been fairly thrown down, tho wager of battle made. Roth sides are honest and earnest, and have put Ottt their boldest champions. They are men whom the people have de lighted to honor. They are both of the same religious family, and have served their country faithfully in war and in peace. Above all, both of them are gentlemen, and tho light will be made i.i an open field in the light of day, while the eyes of mill ions, as Jim Drown says, w ill be look in oiii The isshu is a truineujous one, and 1 feel Iikc getting upon a mountain and exclaiming ".Sohliois, ?10 centuries uro lookin down upon I you from tho bights of these pyra- | mid.." 1 loll you, Mr. Editur, its goin to be a Waterloo in ibis district; I somebody is going to he heat, hut who j i'. i- I'll ho blame I it" I know.

Good day, fellers.' The clerk is waiting for them to come round and settle for damages done, but they must have forgotten where the place is as they pass right by without looking in, and their bills all remain unpaid. Young Wen Beware. The following admonition should be read by many young men nud a few bid ones: Never use a lady's name in an improper place, at any im prop, r time, or in mixed company. ' Never make assertions about her that you think to be untrue, or allusions, that she herself would blush to hear. When you meet with men who do not scruple to use a woman's name in a reckless manner, slum them; they are the very worst members of the com munity; men lot to every sense of honor, i'very feeling of humanity* Many ft. good and worthy woman's character has been forever ruined and her heart broken b , a lie manufac ture-1 by some villain, aud repeated when it should not have been, aud in presence of those whose little judg ment could not de-cr them from cir culating the foul aud bragging report. A slander is soon prcgnated, aud the smallest' thing, doro^atory to a wo man's character, will (ly on the wings of the wind, aud will grow and magni fy as it circulates, until its monstrous weight crushes the p >or unconctous victim. Respect the uata? of a wo man. Your mother aud sisters are ! woiucu, and as you would have their [ fair names untarnished and their lives uuetnbittcrcd by thjslanderous, bitter tongue, heed the ill your own jgvprds may bring upon the mother, sister or tho wile tji some fellowj ircatus e. ?

A lew days since, Miss alary Flesh man, daughter of Perry Fleshinan, living two mi los cast of Platte City, bad a thrilling adventure with a rat tlesnake. She was riding on horse back alone through the woods, when she dropped her glove. She dis mounted to secure it, and as she was stooping to pick it up she discovered a large rattlesnake, at least six feet long, coiled and in the act of striking. It did strike, but it failed to reach her, aud fell at her feet. She sprang back with a cry of horror, butalmost instantly the snake recoiled and struck again. This time the veno mous fangs struck iti the front part of her bonnet, and the hold tearing out with the force of tho blow and the weight of the snake, it fell on the ground at her feet. Instantly it rear ed up in front of her, its venomous breath right in her face. Scarcely knowing what she did, she seized the snake just below the head with both hands, and, holding it for a moment, with desperate energy she slung it from her and tied. An exchange, speaking of those .?mart fellows who always know how t > do something except what they ought to be doing, says : "He stands in the saloons with his back to the stove and tells how he could run a newspaper; how he could be as inde pendent as a hog on ice, and call things by their right names; how he could expose corruption in high places; how be could write good, sound common souse, and none of your frivolous tryto be.funny stuff. Then be criticises pother people's methods of conducting new.sp.ipors, and just wishes somebody would give him a chance t) show bis journalistic ability. The way to cure one of t hose chaps is to get him to write a sensible article every day for a week. Before the week is out he is sure to be pumped dry, mid will gape worse for an tdca than n chicken does for the pip " Song of the grassiiop,>or : " VVe Will meet in this weatby aud by."
