TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 28. J. A. MOOD. M. D.) D. B. ANDERSON, J Ll>IT0RS Gov. Cameron vetoed the Virginia Anti-Duelling bill. The House of Representatives passed the Postoffice Appropriation bill. AU bat two of the Russian Nihilists arraigned at St. Petersburg for trial plead guilty. Business failures for the past 6even days throughout the couutry number 128; Southern States, 35. Six brothers and sisters were buried together in Cleveland Diphtheria killed them all. A Texan offers one hundred acres of land to each family of the Jewish refu gees expected at Philadelphia. The total visible supply of cotton for the world is 3.124,105 bales, against 2,926,450 at the same time last year. Colonel Corkhill. tbe District At torney who prosecuted Guiteau, is to be removed. Significant! Salt Lake City is disturbed. The polygamists are signing petitions to the Congress to halt in legislation for Utah. A bill has been introduced in Con gress directing the printing in book form an official report of the trial of Guiteau. Indictments in the Star Route cases have been found against ex-Assistant Postmaster Gen. Brady, ex-Senator Dorsey and others. A veiled woman with a babe boarded a railroad train at Hastings, Mich., laid the infant in a stranger's lap, and dis appeared. Somebody has given $25 in gold to the faculty of Marquette College, Mil waukee, to be made into a medal for the -foremost student in manly piety.' A drunken man lay half a day in a gutter unarrested, in Springfield Mass., becauso his big dog stood guard over him, growling and biting at everybody who came near. Senator Vance had three invitations to attend parties or something of the kind on the same evening. He was might sorry he could not be at all three, bot he could cot divide up. His head and legs were bound to be where the stomach was. The dumb are made to speak. At the anuual exhibition of tbe Columbia Institution for the deaf and Dumb, held in Washingnton on Thursday, several speeches were made by members of tbe college who three years ago were mutes, but are now able to talk. The physicians who attended tbe late President, should be satisfied with amounts awarded by the Auditing Com mittee. They are given as follows: Bliss, $25,000: Agnew and Hamilton, $15,000 each ; Reyburn Boyton and Susan Kdson, ?5,000 each, and Crump, uwse, $3,000. A man murdered his brother without hindrance, at Saxevifle, Wisconsin, bnt immediately encountered a fierce aven ger in a big dog. Made furious by seeing his master slain, the brute set upon the slayer, biting him, and hanging to him until he was captured. The court martial for the trial of Ser geant Mason for. endeavoring to shoot Guiteau commenced at Washington on Monday. Tbe prisoner was arraigned, and on the charges being read to him said that he bad nothing to say, and tbe President, Lieutenant Colonel Mizner, directed that a plea of "Not guilty*' be entered. Dr. Foster, who lives near George town, S. C, has demonstrated that tea can be successfully grown in this cli mate. He has 1,642 tea plants, all exhibiting a splendid and vigorous de velopment. Some of these plants, which have been allowed to grow with out pruning, are six feet high, with a circumference of ten and twelve feet. The Abbeville Medium comes down with this clincher on delinquents : 'You owe for ycur paper. We need the money, and want it right away. The edi tor has six children. They can all cat. It takes eight biscuits to go round only once, Flour costs money. Send in your subscription at once, or quit the paper. John Wyatt was shot while resisting two officers in Louisville, He remarked to tbe surgeon who was attending him : Doctor, I will live to drink the milk that comes from the cow that nips the grass off the graves of them fellows.' But he was mistaken, for he died in a few hours. We are pleased to learn that most of the farmers below Camden, says the Journal, have left off grumbling over the stock law and ha?e gone to putting up j good fences arouod their pastures. No matter how much we may dislike the bill, we will now have to abide by it. The Legislature has adjourned and there is no possible chance of having it changed. All the rivers in the Mississippi Val ley are above their banks. At Helena, Arkansas, the water on Sunday last j was four feet deep in the streets. Between Memphis and Vicksburg the river averaged thirty miles in width. The Ohio river, was at the same time rising, threating to increase the disasters in the Mississippi below its mouth. At Cincinnati the river was j within nine feet ten inches of the great rise of 1832. The Illinois Central, Wabash and other roads are refusing frieght for Southern points, from Cairo down, on account of submerged tracks. The President last Friday sent to tbe Senate tbe following nominations : Ros ooe Conkling, to be Associate Justice of! the United States Supreme Court, and j A. A. Sargent to be Minister to Ger many. The nomination of Conkling ! to be one of the Justices of the United j States Supreme Court created great sur- j prise in Washington, as did, also, that j of ex-Senator Sargent to be Minister \ to Germany. It is generally believed that both will accept. Senator Hoar spoke in the Senate against the confir mation of Conkling declaring that he was not honest. It is understood, how ever, that the nomination will be con firmed by an overwhelming majority. General Wade Hampton says he never had but one fight, and that was with a Columbia bully, who attempted to add him to the number of his con quests. 'I was a good boxer,' said the fciouch Carolina Senator, 'and every tiaie the fellow rushed at *C9 I floored him. The last lick I gave him broke his thumb. A policeman came up and ar rested me. When I was pinioned the man rose up, drewfa knife, and was about to rush upon me. I asked the officer to let me go and give me his club. He did so. Armed with that weapon, I faced the desperado, and warned him tho' I did not wish to kill him, I would certainly do so if he advanced a step farther. He took counsel of his fears, and prudently retired. I had not a scratch, but the other man was laid np for three weeks.'?J. R. R. in Augusta Chronicle THE CAMPAIGN OPENED. The first regular moveme toward the organization of a third political par ty in the State was made at Camden on the 18th inst. A meeting was held pre sided over by Maj. Blair, and a lengthy series of resolutions was passed, the per port of which was a denunciation of the Jaws which have been recently enacted in relation to the Poll Tax, Stock and Elections. A County Executive Com aittee, consisting of five members was appointed, and the formation of "Peo ples' Rights Clubs" was urged upon every other County in the State. We have learned that the meeting advertised to be held on Saturday next, at this place, is to be of a similar char acter as the one at Camden, and we have no doubt that at that time every possible argument will be used to con vince our voters of the advantages of a union with the P. K Parly, as well as the necessity of its organization. We say now, as heretofore, that our prosperity as a State depends upon a strict adherance to the Democratic par ty ; that it was through this party that Republicanism was overthrown, and through its maintainance alone can Republicanism be utterly destroyed. There is no necessity for the organiza tion of a new party ; if the enactments which are said to be so destructive of liberty prove detrimental to the welfare of the people, they can and will be re pealed by Democrats. If a change of representatives is demanded, there is a sufficient number within the Democratic rauks from which to choose. But to organize a third party only means to create division, whereby Republicanism may again obtain supremacy. This is probably the object of the prime movers in this direction. While doubtless there are many honest men now striving to advance the interests of this party, their misguided efforts, if successful, will' re sult in disastrous effects upon them. There are but two parties that can now maintain themselves for any length of time, and any subordinate division only means disintegration and decay for the party from which it emanated. As for Democratic policy and Democratic prin ciples we are well assured that they will ultimately prevail. It may be that many experiments will be tried before the people are fully assured of the fact but the sooner that fact is recognized the better it will be for our State. ?> ? mi MACKEY'S MACHINATIONS. Recent investigation has fully ex posed the vile scheme by which E. W M. Mackey has endeavoured to obtain a seat for himself in the House of Rep resentatives. Much of the testimony which he has put in tbe hands of the Committee on Elections has turned out to be a forgery. It seems that the tes timony was taken by Mr. Hogar'h, a Notary Public, and also a stenographer; that he transcribed this testimony and turned it over to Mackey who employed Mr. Smith to copy it. Mr. Smith swears that in the testimony given him to copy, there were 'interlineations' and 'erasures/ that 'portions of the original; sheet were cut out and other sheets sub stituted and sometimes left out entirely.' that 'sometimes nearly a whole page was struck out by drawing a line across it/ that lthe interlineations were in the handwriting of ?. W. M. Mackey ; that 'the copy made omitted the erasures | and inserted tbe interlineations; that! sometimes whole pages of this testimo ny in the handwriting of E. W. M. Mackey would be inserted, and of which there was no original in the handwrit ing of 3Ir. Hogarth, the notary public.' Mr. Smith also swears that sometimes when he returned the originals and his copy, Mr. Mackey 'destroyed the origi nals by placing them in the stove, or destroying them by tearing them up.' and that, in some instances, the copy made by him was returned interlined, and Mr. Smith 'made fresh copy with such corrections/ Mr Hogarth, the ste nographer, testifies that he took all the testimony in behalf of Mackey, 'with the exception of one or two depositions,' that he transcribed in his own hand writing 'all of the testimony' so taken by him ; and that afterwards he certi fied to copies of the testimony tendered to him by Mr. Mackey, 'taking it for granted than said testimony was the same* as furnished by him to Mackey, and that he signed the certificates with out comparing the testimony with his stenographic notes. All honest men of every political par* ty can but be disgusted with the doings of this miserable poltroon, and wonder at the shameless audacity which allow ed him to move among decent men and \ concoct so villainous a plan to further j his own interest. Exactly what Con i gress will do with his case is not now j known, but it will not discharge its j whole duty if it stops io merely dismiss ing bis claim to a seat in the House, j The honor which is supposed to be at tached to position, the dignity and pu I rity of those who fill these honorable j positions, as well as the majesty of out- j i raged law, demands that be be tried j j and puuished for the crimes of purjury j ! and forgery, in the same manner as! j other less-aspiring criminals. If they j j are passed unnotice.7, the dignity of j j statesmanship is a thing of the past, and shrewd and unblushing depravity the best qualification of Representatives in tbe future. ANOTHER CROP. Our farmers, with commendable en ergy are again preparing for the culti vation of another crop. Notwithstand ing their poor success with corn last year and the depression occasioned by the advance in provisions and moderate price of cotton it is everywhere evident that though -"cast down," their indomi table perseverance is not destroyed. Stimulated by the possibities of another year, they are busily engagea in 'breaking up," and the indications are that the Dumber of acres which will be put in will not be less than that of pre ceeding years. In spite of the prog nostications of many there is as yet no indication that thi3 most important branch of human industry has suffered paralysis from the lien or stock laws, Whatever may develop in the future, it is now certain that there is as much en ergy exhibited by our farmers as ever before. The oat crop seems to be flour ishing, after June with but little help the year may be pulled through and with a heavy yield most of our fanning friends will be again upon their feet. Much of the depression which now ex ists migh have been avoided by less talk about "the drought." Such unfa vorable representations were uuiversally made that confidence was lost and capi talist were slow to risk their money in the uncertainties of agriculture. But faith is again restored and advances are again being made upon as easy terms as heretofore. ??lfTrPENSIONED. The United States Senate has seen fit to place Gen. Grant on the retired j list of the Army, with the rank of Gen- j eral, to draw annually ?12,750. There is no reason in the world why Gen. Grant should be more highly favored than Hayes, or any other man who may hereafter fill the presidential chair. This fortunate individual has already been very handsomely paid for every thing he has done for the American people. No one in this country ever before received such favors as have been lavishly heaped upon him. Two presi dential terms were given him, and money without stint and presents of all kinds have been showered down upon him by his enthusiastic admirers. Ac- ! cording to his own statement he has received more horses, cigars, and bull pups than he could count. He is now known to be very rich ; he is surround ed with an abundance of this world's ! goods, and he is really in need of no j such assistance from the public treasury j as that bestowed upon him by the Senate. He surely deserves no particular re ward of merit for the peculiar manner in which he discharged his official duties when acting as President of the United i States. On that subject the less that is > said the better, for it is an admitted fact that the glory he achieved in the late war between the States, was considera bly dimmed by the disgraceful methods of his unfortunate administration of pub lic affairs. The four Southern Demo cratic Senators who voted to put Grant on the retired list, thereby robbing a large sum of money every year from the hard earnings of the people should blush for shame, and should be se verely condemned by the whole South. Death of Bishop Lynch, Rev. Patrick Niesen Lynch died in Charles ton on the morning of the 26th at the age of sixty-five years. He was educated in youth at the seminary of St. John the Baptist in Charleston, and afterwards at the College of j the Propaganda in Rome, Italy. He was or- ! dained priest in 1840, having already receive | ed the degree of Doctor of Divinity. In 1S58 he was consecrated Bishop of Charleston. Bishop Lynch was an ardent Southerner and was sent by the Confederate authorities on a mission of peace to France. He was a man of great intellectual attainments, and won for himself a reputation as a scholar both at home and abroad. The News and Courier-saya of him : Stately in appearance, dignified in manner, unassuming, courteous, self-possessed, learn- j ed and pious, Bishop Lynch was honored j wherever he went, and was not without honor j ? -j in his own country. Others will take up the burden which has slipped from his shoulders, and begin where he left off. But none has gone before, or will come hereafter, mote loyal to his Church, more loveable in the esti mation of all conditions of men, more earnest, more self-sacrificing and more true than the j good Bishop who has passed away. For him j God's truce with worldly cares, the sacred j rest of Sunday, is now without end 1 The New Postal Order. The first assistant postmaster general | has recently made the following postal i order: "Postmasters will not allow non-sub scribers to take from the boxes, nor j will they hand to them newspapers ad- ; dressed to subscribers, refolded and re turned to them into the general delivery ; without verbal or written permit from such subscriber, A violation of this re gulation will be considered as sufficient ground for the removal of the offending postffiaster.' Ex-Judge Thompson H. Cookc, of Greenville, who was said to bave been one of the thirteen shame-faced white men who met in conference with the colored Republican Senator iu Columbia recently to devise ways and means to disrupt the Democratic party, denies in the most emphatic terms that he knew anything about the conference, and says he has no sympathy with the move ment. Here are his own words: 'I wish to deny the charge in the most emphatic language possible. So far as the statement of J. C. H. associates me with being connected with the confer ence held between Senator ^" .11 er, of Beaufort, and thirteen Democrats, in the city of Columbia, I have to say it is utterly untrue in every sense and par ticular, and I hope that the article re ferred to was not an attempt to injure me professionally. I am out of politics, and expect to stay out I will ptate, however, that I not only had nothing to do with the 'conference' referred to, but knew nothing of it uutil I saw the ac counts of it in the papers. I have no sympathy with that movement or any other that would aid in the restoration of Radical rule in South Carolina.' Refugee Jews From Russia. Philadelphia, Feb. 23.?Tbe steam ship Illinois arrived to-day with tbe re fugee Jews from Russia. There were 325 of them, men, women and children, all in charge of I. R. Littman of Kam nitz, Poland, who was driven from his native town about two months ago. They come mainly from the province of j Kieff and from Odessa and Warsaw, most of them being tradesmen and a few of them farmers. They were deeply im- j pressed with tbe accounts of what had | already been done for tbem in America and the various offers of land iu the South. They say that when tbe riots occured at Warsaw, about two months j ago, some of their number were driven out of the city at the point of tbe bayo net and forced to fly with tbeir wives and children. They were without money and without friends, but con trived to get beyoud the borders of Rus sia, beiog aided in their flight by sym pathizing coreligionists and friends. The entire party had enjoyed good health during the voyage and there was only one death?that of a child three years old. They were met at the ! wharf at 3:20 P. M. by Dr. T. J. Ellinger, of the staff of physicians, and j others of tbe committee. Three hours [ were spent in transferring and esamin- | ing their baggage, after which the cars j of tbe Pennsylvania Railroad were j backed down to the vessel, and the en- j tire party were taken by rail to the old j Pennsylvania Railroad depot at Thirty- j second and Market streets. There they I were provided with supper and a change 1 of clothing. The depot has been ar ranged so as to provide eating and sleeping rooms, bath rooms, and a hos pital, and every effort is being made by the citizens' commitiee and the corps of volunteer physicians to minister to the health and comfort of the refugees. j Guiteau Wants to Present a Decent Appearance. I Washington February 13.?Interest j in the convicted and condemned Gui ! teau seems to have waned considera | bly and no further attention is paid to his movements .except by his relatives and counsel. His brother John paid j bim a farewell visit this morning, pre j paratory to leaving for Boston to attend | to his busiuess. The interview between J the brothers is said to have been very j affecting, although the prisoner was j apparently the least disturbed. Soon ! after his brother had left he sent for j j a tailor to come and measure him for a j j new suit of clothes, and also ordered a j new hat, which was furnished him. He j paid for his orders out of the money ! derived from the sale of bis autographs I and, when asked what he wanted with new clhthes, said he did not expect to I remain long after the Court in banc i met, and be wanted to make a good ap I pearance when he went out. This was [ regarded as an attempt at bragging for the appearance of the prisoner cer tainly belies bis assertion. He is in clined to be troublesome, and this morning be sent his brekfast back, be cause, as be said, the beefsteak was not cooked rare enough. "Tell the cook," he said, "that I want tbe blood run ning out of my meat before I eat it." ?MI I I?^ Laws of the State.

I A London Society Scene.?At Mme. j Guichard's fancy dress ball in Paris last j Wednesday the most attractive costumes j were those of a cock and hen, worn by I a young married couple. The cock, j whose face was entirely concealed by his ] head-dress, strutted proudly in, giving j j his arm to the hen ; he wore a yellow j j plush coat, a tremendous jabot of white J ! feathers, breeches covered with brown I j feathers, silk stockings, red heeled i I shoes, a rose in his button-hole, and a j I field marshal's hat with golden plumes ! j on his cock's crest, thus thoroughly per- j j sonifying the martial Gallic cock. The j I hen wore a white satin petticoat with j long rows of snowy white feathers, a | white plush ouirass bodice, a tunic com- j ' pos'-d entirely of fathers, to which was j ; attached a small hen's tail, soariet silk j I stockings and shoos, and on her bead i j she had a coral tuft, and she carried a j ! brisket" of eggs ^n her arr"~?London ' j Truth.

The Story Sergeant Mason Tells?Giiitean Very Indignant. Washington, February 22.?Consid erable adverse criticism bas been aroused by the statement of sergeant Mason, who is confined in the prison of the Arsenal and is on trial before a court martial for shooting at the assassin, Guiteau, last September. His story is to the effect that the cell iu which he has been confined is tenanted by myriads of rats, which annoy him and disturb his rest at night. On one oc casion, while asleep, he was attacked by a large rat, but which, after a battle, he subdued and crushed to death with his fingers. Mason is considerably in censed because, as he says, Guiteau, who perpetrated a much worse crime than be attemped, is allowed clean, well ventilated quarters and is not annoyed by prison pests. He thinks that he might be allowed some privileges, and be has many sympathizers. Guiteau, on the contrary, having heard of Mason's complaints, became very indignant and said that it was no more than he deserved for attempting to shoot the preserver of the American j people. He expressed a wish that Ma son should be severely punished for his insubordination, and said that if the i United States did not see justice done ; him that he would take the matter in his own hands as soon as he was released \ from jail. He seems confident that through the intervention of the best j lawyers in the country he will be set j free by a decision of the Court in banc, and becomes very violent when any j other than a favorable result from the i hill of exceptions is suggested. Fees and Doctors. The fees of doctors is an item that very many persons nre interested in just at present. We believe the schedule for visits is $3.00, which would tax a man confined to his bed | for a year, and in need of daily visits, over j $1,000 a year for medical attendance alone! ! And one single bottle of Hop Bitters taken | in time would save the $1,000 and all the j years sickness.?Post. Annoyance Avoided. Gray hairs are honorable but their prema ture appearance is annoying. Parker's Hair Balsam prevents the anoyance by promptly restoring the youthful color. Living Witnesses. The hundreds of bearty and healthy looking men, women and children, that have been rescued ftom beds of pain, sickness and well nigh death by Parker's Ginger Tonic are the best evidences in the world of its sterling merit and worth. You will find such in al- j most every community. The most noted men of modern times have publich' attested to the value of Ayer's Cherry j Pectoral as a cure for coughs and colds. THE MARKETS.
