TUESDAY, JANUARY 24. J. A. MOOD. M. D. ) " D. B. ANDERSON, ) ?WT0RS' - ? Bismarck is suffering from sciatica. A movement is on foot in England to raise funds for the relief of homeless Jews in Russia. Two prisoners in the Chester (S. C. jail were shot by a deputy sheriff whom they attacked. A new Territory, to be" called Kio homa, is unO.er consid?ration io the House. The grain area ia Georgia must be broad if reports are true. Wheat all over the State looks well and the prov j peet for a good crop is promising. AD amendment to the Constitution of the United Stares, as proposed ia the j Senate, provides for the election of Cir- I cuit and District Court judges, post? masters, and other officials by the peo- j pie. Ex-Governor R. K. Scott has, by the payment of ?500, compromised : the suit for 010,000 damages brought j by the mother of Warren G. Drury, j the boy whom Governor Scott killed. Coup's menagerie which is wintering ! it at Augusta Georgia, is exhibiting the i animals during the present week, for j the benefit of the Catholic Fair of that i City. j Dr. G. D. Bernheim, formerly of i Wilmington, N. C., was unanimously ] elected President of the North Carolina j College, located at Mt. Pleasant, Ca- | bairns County, on Wednesday last. We still hear of car loads of colored emigrants from Georgia and Carolioa j going to Arkansas and Texas. The j better and thriftier class of laborers re- j main here, however, as most of oar j good planters report no falling off in labor.-Augusta Co?st?ittiotialist. Ex-Judge McKenzie, a leading law- 1 yer of Hampton, Ia., who sent Gene- : ral Sherman's signal during the war, : 'Hold the fort, for we are coming.' ; immortalized in verse, died at his home j last week. His hymn has worried i many a man to death outside of Sunday ? School. x j Henry Clay's grandson, Henry Clay, ; who went ont with an Arctic expedi? tion a year ago and was grounded on ; the icebergs by Rowgate's failure, con-; eluded to go up and find the pole him- ? self, but after traveling several days by dog team, concluded that the pole is ' well enough where it is, and came I home. Colonel William Dogan, in mingling \ with the members of the Legislature, j has ascertained the following interesting ! facts ; There ara 35 Baptists in the two j houses, 32 Methodists, 2? Presbyte- ; nans, 4 Se ceders, 18 Episcopalians, ! 4 Lutherans, 1 Catholic and 9 outsiders. ! Among these are 10 bachelors, 6 wid- : overs and 108 married men, ten of whom have been married twice.-Register. i A State Sunday School Institute will j be beld at Charleston on the 21st and ! 22nd of February, conducted by B.p. \ Jacobs, of Chicago, E. Payson Porter, j of Philadelphia, and others representing ! the Executive Committee of the Inter- j national Sunday School Convention, j The Statistical Secretaries of the State ? Sunday School Convention and the i Presidents of the Couuty Conventions ! are requested to secure a full represnta- : tion at this meeting. All interested in j Sunday School work are also invited to ; attend, and it is published that enter-! tainment will be furnished ail who go. During his last term as a member of Congress General Garfield introduced a - bill which, if passed, would have been j the means of facilitating the saving ! cf life in the case of such accidents as j that of last week on the New York j Central. It proposed that one or more j axes be carried on every passenger car, \ whereby, tn the event of a smash-up, the imprisoned victims might have the j means of cutting their way out of the j wreck. A simiitar bill ts now pending ; ia Congress, and should be made a i law. The widow of Abraham Lincoln has ; for some time been a guest at Miller's i Hotel, New York, where she has the j conveniences of medical bathing and ! treatment required by her ailments. : The doctors who have been consulted ? lu her case say that she is suffering from chronic infiamation of the spinal j cord, chronic disease of the kidney*, j and commencing cataract of both eyes. ; She is now quite helpless and unable to ; walk or help herself, and the affection ; of thc spine will probably end in paraly- j sis, and total blindness is also impend- j iQg- ! Committee on Pensions on last Sat- j urday unanimously agreed to report the j bill granting to Mrs. Lincoln $15,000 | in cash, to be available immediately, and also providing that from and after the enactment of this bill her pension shall : be at the rate of ?5,000 per annum the j remainder of her life, in lieu of her1 present annual peosioo of ?3,000. The j cash payment of ?15,000 is to be j granted as relief and not as arrears of i pensions. A sad incident in the trial of Math- j thew Campbell in Jersey City for J the murder of his wife is the double- j faced testimony of his little boy. The j child tries to exonerate his father by ! saying what he has been taught by his ! uncle, but in his iunnocence slips out ' statements which make his father's j crime apparent, 'Papa/ said he, -'told j me not to tell anybody that he kicked j mamma and struck her with his fist- ! and he didn't either" added the innocent. ? Could anything be sadder than this? ? A Philadelphia woman who has just j died at the age of 92 spent her ! honeymoon with her husband in ?apo- j leon's expedition to Moscow. She saw , the burning of that city, and on seve- j ral occasions talked with the Em- j peror of the French. Her husband( having been wounded, she dragged him ; over the frozen ground for nine weeks j on a hand sled. A guide betrayed them | to the Cossacks, and they were held ; prisoners for eighteen months, and were : exchanged just iu time to suffer the j horrors and privations of Napoleon's j retreat. Her sex was never discovered ; during all this. Her experience seem-: ed to have insured her a long life. A fire broke out about 1 o'clock last, Friday taorniag in the five story candy and crakcr factory of F. E. Blockr At? lanta Ga. Owing to a lack of water the flames gained rapid headway a;4d soon spread to- a4l the adjoin ing builti ings. Seven buildings were destroyed. The loses on stocks and bwldtegd will aggregate a half mtliso? dollars. The fire was no* sabdaeef for three hours during which time it had full sweep at all the buildings io the locality when originated. James Wickham, a dro of Flu vania County, Ga., a guest at j Wilson House, was burned to dea j ? portion of his body was taken < j from among the debris about 4 o'clc ! in the afternoon. i j At the coroner's inquest into I . Spuyten Duyvil disaster, the conduc j of the wrecked train testified that it v i his impression that the stopping of 1 j train was caused by some person i ? connected with it who applied the j breaks. This could easily be done, I there was a cord running through t ! several cars which composed the tra j which was connected with the val ! and was placed there as a precauti [ against accidents. On being ask ? why fcc thought the train was bei : stopped by some of the passengers, said he surmised such was the cat .for* said he, 'there was a party on t train who were sloging, smashing beac and conducting themselves in a d graceful manner. They were passii around bottles of whiskey, and t foundation of that accident was rum. had not sufficient force on the train stop such proceedings. Among t passengers were a number of seuator assemblymen and aldermen and I cou not deprive them of their bottles. Tb is an every-day occurrence, but mo especially so on Fridays.' SMALL POX. For the last week or two the numb of new cases of small-pox, in varioi parts of the country, have increa ed with such rapidity that the Nation Board of Health, has declared the di ease to be epidemic in the Unitt States, and the authorities of many the cities. North and South make compulsory for every one to be vacc nated. This precaution is the safe guarantee, not only to prevent, a gem ral epidemic of this awful disease, bt to mitigate the sufferings and unsightl effects, resulting from it. As the country is so connected t( gether as to make transportation froi one part to another quick and easy, is almost impossible to say, although th strictest precautions be enforced, b public authorities, when we are nc liable to bc infected with any kind c disease. It is rumored that there i small-pox in this State, and althougl we do not really believe that it exist to any extent, at the same time, w would advise all who can couviently, b vaccinated, to do so. An effort was made on last Thursda; in the House of Representatives, by th Charleston delegation to repeal the li quor law in Charleston County, whicl was an utter failure. It was declare? that there has been more liquor sob since the enactment of the present pro bibitory law, than ever before ; that i was impossible to enforce it ; that it de prives the citizens of Charleston Couotj of their positive and legitimate rights &c, &c, (the sterotyped argument? which have ever been used by the op? ponents of prohibitory enactments ol every degree. Mr. McCrady, the onlj member from Charleston who opposed the bill was greatly instrumental in its defeat. He said that : He regretted to differ with his col? leagues, but after the gravest reflection and after hearing all that had been said he was forced to take the position. The friends of the bill claimed that this was a matter of trade. He claimed that it was a matter upon which depended the peace of families living in the coun? ty. The indiscriminate use of liquor in the country portion of the county waa making the homes of planters un? safe. The law had not had a fair trial io Charleston, and the general idea which bad prevailed that the law was unconstitutional and that its enforce? ment would be resisted had done much to prevent its enforcement. The other side claimed that the law should be re? pealed .because there was no provision for its enforcement. A law had been passed at thc present session obviating this objection and making it the duty of the county commissioners to enforce the law Now the friends of this bill before the House claimed that the enforcing of the law was iniquitous aod that it would create a system of spies and informers worse than the evils of liquor. He show? ed that there are twenty or thirty Acts now on the seatute book which were enforced io the same way, and closed with an earnest appeal to the House not to exempt Charleston from the provis? ions of the liquor law. LONDON, Jan. 22.-The Lord Mayor, in con? sequence of a requisition signed by the Arch? bishop of Canterbury, the bishops of London, Gloucester, Manchester and Oxford, Cardinal Manning, Prof. Darwin, Samuel Morly, Prof. Jewitt, Mathew Arnold, Lord Elcho and the Earl of Shaftesbury, has called a public meet? ing at the Mansion House on February 1 to make a declaration of opinion relative to the persecution of the Jews in Russia. The calling of this meeting, we take it, means nothing less than to show the controlling influence one country can exert over another. Let any given country run to extremes on any partic? ular subject, and another pursue a con? servative policy, a policy productive of universal good, and after sufficient time has elapsed to prove the wisdom of the one and the folly of the other, the one that was mistaken io her policy will eventually adopt similar measures, as a means best calculated to subserve thc ends of justice and prosperity to the commonwealth. The friendly manner and brotherly feeling ia which thc Jews are received io this country, has been the lever power in mitigating their sufferings in other countries. And, may America's pub? lic opinion on the persecutions of this race go far to alleviate their oppressions in Kessia. ? mmm i i mm Dennie Dunlap wa3 a three-card monte man attached to a circus. A greenhorn whom be bad swindled out of 5200. at As? sumption, JLa., complained :o a justice, who tioi only rssoed a warrant, bot went to the i tent to serve it. Dennie was operating on ? another Yiotira, and be quietly offered the I justice $20 not to interrupt bim for ten I minutes. This proposition was declined. Then the gambler angrily drew a revolver; ; but the Judge fired qnickest, killing him instantly, and coolly recovered ?.he $200 from his pocket. The gambling privilege of that circus is now for sale. THE LEGISLATURE. -o j There was very little done in ? Senate on Thursday of special iote j to our readers. Mr. Benbow presented the petr I of sundry citizens of Clarendon cou j against the general stock law i Thirteen bilis relating to phospha and granting to certain individuals exclusive right to dig the same in various navigable streams of the St; I were put to rest by being laid on ! table. The drift of public sentim seems to be against monopolies. At 2 o'clock the Code was taken and read for an hour, when the Sen I took a recess till 7.30 P. 31. A favorable report was made by ; Judiciary Committee on a bill to ena persons to recover possession of cr seized under the Hen law. Unfavorable reports were made the same committee on Mr. Marsha bill to repeal the license fee of $100 the State, provided in Section 2, in Act to regulate the sale of intoxicati liquors ; also on Mr. Bissell's bill to < cm pt portions of Colleton coui from the operations of said Act. B< reports were adopted. The Senate went earnestly to wc on Friday and passed ten bills whi were ordered to be enrolled for ratifii tion, The most exciting and intere ing feature of the day's work was t discussion of the bill to authorize t reopening of the South Carolina Mi tary Academy. The bill was* al advocated by Messrs. Wylie, Mill? Symthe, Izlar and Gillard ; and ze ously opposed by Messrs. Harb Perry, Henderson,-Beaty and Calliso A motion to strike out the enacti clause was put and resulted in a tie, yeas and 15 nays, when the Preside turned the scale in favor of the bill voting no. Various amendments were propose all of which were voted down. Tin Mr. Callison offered an amendment the shape of an additional section to t bill as follows: 'Aud that $33,000 appropriated for a branch of the Mi tary Academy in each County of tl State.' Mr. Symthe moved to iode nitely postpone this amendment, whi* was adopted by a vote of 26 to 3. . The yeas and nays were then call? ?n the passage of the bill to its thi reading and the vote stood 14 to 14 the President again-decided the matt by voting in the affirmative. A bill was introduced by Mr. Symtl to create a new Judical Circuit to 1 known as the Ninth Circuit, and provide for thc election of a Judge ai the appointment of a solicitor thereto The new circuit will consist of Clarei don, Orangeburg, Colleton and Berl ley. The election of a Judge will t held upon the passage and approval < the bill. In the House a bill to provide a gee eral railroad law for the consolidation management and regulation of railroad in this State, and for the appoint mcnt of a Board of Railroad Com missioners and to prescibe thei powers and duties, was read the thir time, passed and returned to the Sen ate; also a bill for the establishmentc the new County, of Berkeley, and t define its boundaries and to provide fo and pay thc salaries of the Count officers thereof. The Judiciary Committee made ai nnfavorable report on a bill to pro vid for the better enforcement of the pol tax which was adopted. The Committee on Internal improve men ts made a favorable report, wi tl amendment, on the bill to transfer thi property of the Columbia Canal to thi Penitentiary Board. The amendmen of the committee simply provides tba before any work is undertaken a qui claim shall be executed by Messrs ^hempson and Nagle. On Saturday in the House, the repon of the special committee on thc Electiot bill was adopted in every particular and the bill was then ordered to a th ire reading by a vote of 57 to 39. Th< bill providing for the assessment and taxation of property was also ordered tc a third reading thc only amendment ol importance being the extension of the time for redeeming forfeited lands from ninety days to one year. The bill to establish the County ol Berkeley came back from the Senate with the-refusal of that body to coucur io the ameodmcDt fixing the county seat at Macbeth's Mill. Thc House in? sisted on its amendment and the matter was referred to a committee of confer? ence, consisting of Messrs. Simonton, Dennis and Fludd of the House, and Messrs. Smythe, Coker and J. *W Moore of the Senate, Mr. G. R. Walker is here working hard to have the county-seat fixed at Mount Pleasant, and the Gentlemen herc who represent those parishes of thc new county, which are unrepresented personalty in the Legislature, have been urging upon the committee of conference the advisability of settlingthe question by the popular voteof Berkley county. A proposition in favor of this disposition of thc matter has been made to those favoring Macbeth's Mill. The question will be settled on Monday. A concurrent resoluution introduced by Mr. Haskell was adopted by the House instructing the comptroller-gen? eral to supeod all sales of delinquent lands, aud instructing the eounty treas urers to receive the taxes of the same uutil the 1st of March next, with the penalties. The House adjourned to 12 M. Monday. In the Senate the Citadel Acad? emy bill passed a third reading aud was sent to the House with a ver? bal amendment, in which the House concurred. The bill was then ordered to bc engrossed for ratification. Thc vote in the Senate on the passage of the bill stood 35 to 14. The Phos? phate bill passed to a third reading without a-iiendmeut, and the Senate adjourned until ll o'clock ou Monday. - mm -- Smallpox seems to be extending its ravages all over the country. At Port Jervi?, N. Y., fifty-two cases were re? ported January 14th; at El Paso, Texas, three cases; at Mather, Wisconsin, one death and ten cases, January 10th; at Wilmington, Ohio, over fifty cases of virulent smallpox were reported January 16th; at Buffalo, N. Y., one death iu the week ending January 7tb; at Boston, Mass., there were two deaths and one new case for the week ending Jan. 14th, in New l ork, thirteen deaths; Rochester, 1 three new cases: Wilmington, Delaware, one death; Tarrytown, N, Y., one case; j Indianapolis, Ind., three cases; Pitts . burg and Allegheny City, thirty new ! cases; in Illinois eighty-two points of smallpox infection aro marked on a map ! in the State Board of Health office; in Cincinnati, Ohio, sixty-five new cases during the week ending January 12th; in Jersey City, nine new cases were rc . ported January 13th. I lt is stated that a farmer at Lynn, Tn ! diana, receeived a letter a few days ?ince, j without date or signature, in which two I small-pox scabs were enclosed. The letter j was postmarked Cincinnati, and read : "I j have sent you the small-pox. i:Go home and ; die." The letter was immediately burned, ' and the only clue to this perpetrator was thus ! destroyed; but the best detectives in the coun ! try will be set to work on the case. A man and his wife found a stranger ill j under their woodshed, at Irondale, UL, and kindly put him to bed. On learning that his disease was sm iii 1-pox they would not turn him out, but nursed him through it. at the cost of considerable time, labor, and money, neither of which they could afford to give away. When he had recoverd he stole ?17 from them and fled. Answer This.

Wm. and Mrs. Eliza j S. Yeadon. We would have asked for our sister long : life, and God has given her life eternal; there? fore, let no vain regrets be indulged at the . death of so lovely and estimable a being. ! No change can rob us of our dead, and we j would but mark with a word our grateful ? homage to the true woman, who embodied I and reflected in her life the purest virtues and 1 highest sentiments of our nature The hand i of our God has been heavy with us, for such j was her faithful, self-sacrificing nature that i she could have said, "Not for myself I smart, 1 but I would I had in my heart the sorrow of i all my friends," and only io the agony of! parting have we looked into the depths of her j love for us. j Happy are the dead whose virtues are treas- t ured in the hearts they leave behind them, ? and in many hearts are reared silent, but j beautiful monuments of sweet memories to her i name. To have known one such woman, I who throughout a life of many sad vicissi- ; tudes won the admiration of all who knew ; her. does more good than many sermons upon ; the beauty of goodness. We will grow old, suffer and struggle, but j the unspeakable blending of strength and j gentleness, of self-sacrificing devotion and ; faith in the unerring wisdom of God, that ' made her character so beautiful, will remain j an example to us in the long years that must ; be filled with a yearning regret, till we too ; sleep. To emulate such a life is surely within j <:the reachings of our souls," and then Some time, some day, our eyes shall see ; The faces kept in memory; Some day their hands shall clasp our bands, ; Just over in the morning lands. Some day, some time, but oh 1 not yet, And we will wait and not forget, That some day all these things shall be And rest be given io you and me. J:A." Georgetown, S. C., January 10, 1882.

THE MW HID (MEIER--1882. THE NEWS X?? Cotna ER, iv the New Year, will have no other object than to help the people of South Carolina to manage their OWQ affairs in their own way. To this end it will ? encourage the expression of i ntelligent opinion I on subjects of general interest, and strive to be the means of laying before the whole State j the views of those who have something sensi ! ble to say, and know how to say it. The Neics and Courier will not be a passive spectator of events. It will utter its opinions frankly and freely, but, holding that what ?s wise and true has nothing to fear from aualyV sis and discussion, it will never seek to* strengthen its own position by suppressing the opinions of those who honestlv diffV from it. \ The Keven and Courier, with one exception ' is the only newspaper in the South AtladticV , States which receives the whole of the Southern - dispatches of the New York Associated Press, and this service will be supplemented by J special dispatches from every part of the State i and the United States. . Recognizing the importance of giving tbe ! people the earliest and most accurate intelli j genoe in State and National affairs, The Kev* j and Courier, will assign one of the most trus j ted and most capable members of its Staff* to ! permanent duty at Columbia., and bas sta I tioned at Washington the gentleman who j earned golden opinions while on duty at the j State Capital. This will be a year of ferment j and possibly of change in South Carolina, and j what the people require is to have all the news, j without fear or favor, and no matter whom it helps or hurts. The Resident Correspondent j of The News and Courier at Columbia will j give our readers information concerning men j and things which can be obtained in no other j newspaper. In like manner, th.- Resid?nt ? Correspondent of The Keic* and Courier at j Washington, having no other newspaper to ; serve and being nobody's henchman, will be ! in position to report impartially the progress j events and the acts of public men. j The great effort of The .VW? and Courier I will be to get the most news, and to get it j first and in the best shape. The purpose is to j make it a newspaper that no business man. ; no planter or fanner, no person interested in ; public affairs can afford to do without, j IN TH E STATE The New* and Courier will ! advocate honesty, justice and economy, and 1 will insist that merit and capacity shall be the i prime tests in selecting candidates for public i office. ! Particular attention will be paid to the j wants of the farmers and planters, and The j News ar.d Courier, which formulated, more ! than ten years ago, a great economic truth in I the phrase "Bring the Mills to the Cotton" ! will persevere in demonstrating the ad van? i tages and profits of manufacturing, of which South Carolina already furnishes many strik? ing examples. The utilization ofthepbos i phate deposits will claim our special care, ! with the view of obtaining* the largest public .'benefits from the common inheritance of the people. The News and Courier will, indeed, i be always active in disseminating the koowl ! edge of improved processes in agriculture and ; manufactures, and will spare no pains in i pointing out the means of turning to good ac? i count tbe undeveloped as well as the active ' resources cf the State. Believing that the public school isthecradle i of an enduring Republic, and that popular . education is the only permanent protection I against demagogism, The News and Courier . will always advocate the largest appropria I tions for educational purposes that tbe public . can bear. j IN NATIONAL AFFAIRS The News and . Courier will advocate Honest Money: tbe re j striction of the coinage of silver to the I measure of the public demands for use as cur? rency; the reform of the Civil Service through j the Pendleton bill or any similar measure; the I revision of the tariff for the relief of the people, ! and particularly of the agricultural classes; ! the abolition of the taxes on bank checks, i bank deposhs and capital and on patent medi I cines, aud the retention of the duties on ; whiskey and tobacco in preference to the* i maintenance of the present tariff on imports; \ the regulation of Inter-State commerce by the ; National Government, so as to deprive rail? i road corporations and comb* ?ations of the I power to injure and oppress the people; free ships; public improvements by the National : Government for National purposes; the ap j plication of surplus revenue to the reduction . of taxation, instead of the headlong extinction ; of the public debt, and. above all, liberal ap . propriations by thc National Government for : the education of the illiterate voters who were ' imposed upon the country by the act of the : government ar.d who are a perpetual menace ! to free institutions and honest rule, i IN STATE AND NATIONAL AFFAIRS . The News and Courier will uphold the rights j of the States within their own spheres, under ! the Constitution as it is, and the supremacy I of the National Government in Natioual j affairs. And the News and Courier will de : vote itself to strengthening good feeling, good j will and mutual confidence between thc people ; of the several States and between thc States ; and the National Government. The Sunday News will retain its social and j literary character, in connection with all the ; news of the day, and the discussion of home ! subjects of local iuiport and application will i be continued. Hereafter none of the news j published in The Sunday News will be pub? i lished in The News and Courier, j THE TR I-WEEKLY edition of the News I and Courier will be issued as before, giving j the reader the uews contained in The News j and Courier, with slight exceptions, at ono I half the price. THE WEEKLY NEWS will be greatly im j proved. The Chess column and the Agricul j tural department will be. continued, Puzzles ! and Problems for young and old will bea : permanent feature, beginning with the New ! Year: and in a few weeks we shall begin the j publication of "Ten Terrible Tales" by an ? English author of established reputation. ! Arrangements have been made likewise for a > Serial Story by a. South Carolina author whose works have attaiucd great popularity j in Northern periodicals. ! There is not anywhere tn thc South a better ! advertising medium than the News and Cou ; rier, and in South Carolina it bas the adver i tising field, outside of the influential weekly i press ht the cooutry; virtually to itself, lt ; goes into every part of South Carolina and of the LT titted States, and has reached a com ! mandin<r position with the reading public. ?
