Houses were demolished in j many places in Kansas, Iowa, Illinois j and Michigan, and lives were lost in all j those States. \ A statement prepared by the post- ; office department shows that for the | quarter ending December 31, 1881, j there remained a surplus of earnings j over expenditures of ?678,424 being the j first time since the close of the war in j 1865, when the balance was on that j side of the account The Chicago Times of April 10, I which has had a special correspondent in Missouri to investigate the particu lars of the Jesse James shooting, pub lished a letter containing interviews with a* number of Mtssourians who j knew James and who all persist in the j belief that it was not Jesse James who ; was killed. j The suicide of young Cornelias Van- j derbilt closes an unfortunate picture iu ; the old commodore's family. Chagrin-; ed that his father did not leave him a fortune as large as his brother, William j H., inherited, his policy has been to : break the old man's will, and to exhibit I all the family skeletons to the public, j With a million of dollars as his own for- j tune, he had yet concluded that life was not worth living, and - so he has j left it. The Democrats of Columbia elected j Col. John T. Rhett Mayor of that city I over Mr. John Agnew, the Iouepeu- j dent-Greenback-People's-Rights-Repub- j Hcan Candidate by majority of five hun- j dred and eighty-four votes. They also j eleeted the City Council by a similar j aajority. This is a great and signifi i cant victory. It is the sigual gun of! the campaign, and its echo will resound ', throughout tbe State. South Carolina i is Democratic, and the new party men | who are hunting offices for themselves } will ftod very poo*" cousolation wherever j the views of the people are expressed a the ballot-box. There is no disposition J to call in the services of the Republican I party or any of its allies. In tbe town of Salisbury, N.

She sets aud dis- j tributs all tbe type, makes up the forms, j corrects copy and does everything | except locking up the form. During j the past two issues, she not only did all ' the work ou the magazine, but all tbe ' cooking ironing and house work aud j had the care of a little child besides. i If the candidates do not soon begin to j send in their ?5 bills to announce their j names as candidates we fear that we j may go hnngry this spring and sum- j iaer% The great trouble is that a very few like to become candidates. Some j of our people are so modest that they j almost hide from public places, for fear ! some office will be shoved on them anv ' way. This modesty is bad on printers, ! and we >ball not. hereafter aid the elec- ' tion of any man who declines to become I a candidate.

The so-called Anti-Chinese Bill which : was recently passed by both Houses of Congress, suspending the immigration of Chinamen to.this country for twenty years, has been votoed by President Arthur. The reason which he gives for this step is: that it is a violation of the j spirit if not the letter of the negotiations upon which the treaty with China was based. Great disappointment has been felt by the white people of the Pacific slope at this suddcu end of a measure which had promised to be of so much benefit to them, and considerable dis- ' gust has been openly expressed by Re- j publicans at this summary action of the \ Chief executive of their party. Many j who profess to be well acquainted with I the true character of Arthur attribute > his veto entirely to motives of strict honor and justice, with considerable re luctance His reputation for vigorous adherance to conscience and duty is not j so great as au "unscrupulous and open j bias toward partizan policy. When the j Republican papers so bitterly denounced Sis course, and declared that the West j was lost to their party, the opiuion was j strengthened that he was actuated by pure and disinterested motives, aud t many fulsome descriptions of his moral ! heroism were given to the public by ! Democrats and Republicans. But j since, upon reflection, it is seen that the whede affair is of insignificant bene- | fit to either party, some more reasona- j ble cause is being sought to explain it, | and many are fully convinced of the i fact that this prominent example of { modern rectitude is mainly due to the combined pressure of certain wealthy j capitalists of the West, whose interests j demand that labor remain cheap?a i result that nothing can so effectually accomplish as an unlimited influx of Chinese. The question with reference j to the adiuissibility of ihis bill, under j the Chinese treaty, was fully discussed, j and after the development of every ad- j verse phase, it was passed by both ! Houses. Article I of that treaty was : "Whenever in the opinion of the | government of the United States the i coming of Chinese laborers to the j United States, or their residence therein, j affects or threatens to affect the inter- j ests of that country, or to endanger the good order of the said country or of any locality within tbe territory thereof, the government of China agrees that the government of the United States may regulate, limit or suspend such coming or residence, but may net absolutely j prohibit. The limitation or suspension shall be reasonable and shall apply only 1 to Chinese who may go to the Uuited States as laborers, other classes not i being included iu the limitations." * * j Nothing could be more evident than ! the right of Congress uuder this provis- I ion to "suspend the coming'* of Chinese i for twenty years. This does not signi- j fy an absolute prohibition, and taking into consideration the damaging effects upon the social, moral and finaucial in terest of that portion of the country to which they have already immigrated, the term of twenty years may fairly come within the meaning of the word ! ' reasonable," as used in the treaty j To suppress a bill of this kind, the pur- t pose of which was to relieve the West of the greatest scourge that has ever j been iufiicted uoou it, and in answer to i to the prayers of almost every white ! cttizeu of California, solely upon the i ground of a seeming violation of that j portion of the treaty above quoted, iu dicates a tenderness of conscience ou the j part of President Arthur, whieh hus j hitherto been uuknowu to the public, ! and which if allowed to control his j future actions will go further toward | promoting his personal salvation than j that of the American people. "Revenue Officers Acquitted. In the United States Court at j Charleston on Tuesday the trial of i Hugh P. Kane, and others, revenue ; officers, for the murder of Amos Laud, j the moonshiner, was concluded. After I i further testimony and argument the ; case was given to the jury by Judge j Bond in a brief charge, und in thirty ; minutes a verdict of acquittal was j brought in. With reference to Judge Bond's charge the Colnvtbia Rfjislvr says: The charge in the Ladd murder : case, whilst artfully put to the jury ' with all the air of judical fairness, amounts to this : If a constable or do- , j tective iu a dangerous locality should I dug a tn-Mi's house to seize his person, j ; he is entitled to kill any man on sight \ who flees the house armed, whether he ["offersor 'attempts to offer resitance or I not. and the party killing may plead ; self defense and that he slew the man j escaping iu fear of his own life, j If this be the construction of South i Carolina criminal law, as administered I by a Federal Court, it is plain to see I that it puts every citizen who Jives in ; the section of au outlaw ami 'suspect' and at the mercy of the revenue raid I crs, who are held to 'curry their lives in j their hands.' 'The first drop' in such a contingency is the ruling necessity. ; Witii this material difference. If the ; revenue officer gets it and bags his man, it is dona iu self-defense and is a part of collecting the revenue; hut if the distiller get.; that "dr-ip* and rfrojjs his man, it is murder and he gees to the . halter. ; The Chinese Veto. The news of the veto of the anti Chinese bill, though uot altogether un expected, came to the community as a shock of painful character for which it. is difficult to ?ud language to describe. Our people had built much confidence ou the Chicago platform, aud we were uuwilling to believe that it would be shamefully ignored by the President? elected upon it?especially as both houses of Congress had given it effect by substantial majorities. On all sides the sentimeut expressed is that no such calamity had ever before befallen the Pacific coast. Republicans and Demo crats for the time being forget their partisan differences and all alike feel that they are confronted with a common peril. We are face to face with the appalling fact that no apparent remedy remains for as terrible a curse as ever afflicted a people. The Chinese blight comes home to the heart of every mau. If our people are to descend to to the level of Mongolian civilization, it follows tbat they must live as the Chinese do; they must abandon the building up of homes, eschew the mar rying of wives and the raising of cbil dreu and live on rice, sleep fifty in a i room ou shelves and wear Naukiu cloth. The only alteinative, as mat ters stand to-day, is obviously between that condition of things and an aban donment of the State uutil relief comes. It is hardly possible that there can be two political parties on this coast. We are one people on this question, and as it overshadows all others we cannot afford to present a divided front until it is set tled. If any Democrat feels that be cause it may bring him a party advan tage he is glad of the President's veto, he is not a good Democrat, and, what is more, he is anything but a good citi zen.?San Froncisco Examiner. The Political Prosecutions. Charleston, S. C., April 8.?In the United States Circuit Court to-day, Judge Bond presiding, the Court over ruled the motiou to quash the informa- j tions filed by the District Attorney in j the election cases, holding that the of- ! fenses with which the parties are charg- j ed are not infamous, consequently not to be proceeded against by indictment j only. The District Attorney then moved to j be allowed to amend the information in the Richland cases by adding the charge of conspiracy under Section 5140 of the CJuited States Revised Statutes. The Court overruled this motion, holding that the District Attorney is not entitled to add counts charging the accused with conspiracy with others not named in the original affidavit nor in the information already filed to do acts for which they are now to be tried. The information for the warrant of j the Commissioner's Court held nor any \ part of the record gives the accused notice of any such offense. It is en- i tirely a new crime, not an amendment j in any seuse of the word. It must be i considered new information and cannot j be filed except upon affidavit and new j proceedings. The Court added that i this would work a continuance of the j Richland cases, or at least postpone | them u!:til late iu the trial. The District Attorney stated that he j would auuounce on Monday whether or j not he would proceed with the trial of! the Richland cases on the criminal in- I i formation or ask leave to file a new i one. Counsel for the accused said they j would make no objection to the array of | grand aod petit jurors iu this case, as i they bad proposed, but would reserve j the right to argue the questiou in other j cases when they are culled. The Court then adjourned until Mon- ] day morning at 10 A. M. j The Columbia Register of the 11th j inst. says: The case of Bates aud others j from Richland was taken up iu the United States Court at Charleston yes terday. The defense waived the ob jection to the array of the jury in the case, reserving the questiou in tue other cases which may come up, and a jury was empanneled. and witnesses required to be in Court this morning, when the case will proceed. The Presbytery of Harmony. Kingstree, April 6.?The Presby tery of Harmony met in Williamsburg Church April 4, and elected the Rev. H C. DuBose, a returned missionary j from China, its moderator. Twenty i' ministers and twenty-eight ciders were ] in attendeoce. The Rev. W. T Thomp- j son was dismissed tu the Presbytery of ! Charlcstoo. Mr. Jennings, a sou of j Dr. J.

Moses, ex-Governor of South Carolina, indicted for obtaining money by false pretenses, was on Re corder Smyth's calendar iu the General i Sessions Court yesterday. When coun- ; sei for the accused asked for an ad- ' jouroment of the case Assistant Dis-j trict Attorney Fellows said he would j willingly consent. 'I don't think, ; your Honor,' said Colonel Fellows, I 'that I could try this case impartially. ! as I myself am oue of the victims of; mi-placed confidence in Moses. Under ! the circumstances I think the case should be transferred.' The papers were thou sent before Judge Cowing and the ease set down for trial on the 14th in si .n t. ? ma II II ? - - Twice as much small grain has been planted this year as compared to last year ; it is looking well and almost too far advanced for the season.

There is a great improvement already arising from the f'uee law, from the fact that the time usually devoted to fence-making is now used to clean oat. ditche3, take up stumps, clear up hedgerows and making manure.

SAMARITAN NERVINE Cures Alcoholism, Drunkenness and the hab it of Opium Eatiug. These degrading habits are by far the worst evils that have ever befall en suffering humanity. Thousands dieannual ly from these noxious drugs. The drunkard drinks liquor not been use he likes it, but for the pleasure of drinking and treating his friends, little thinking that he is on his road to ruin. Like the Opium Eater, he first uses the drug in small quantities as a harmless anti dote. The soothing influence of the drug takes strong hold upon its victim, leading him on to his own destruction. The habits of Opium Eating and Liquor Drinking are pre cisely what eating is to alimentiveness, as over-ea'bg first inflames the stomach, which redoubles its cravings until it paralyzes both I the stomach and appetite. So every drink of ] liquor or dose of opium, instead of satisfying, only adds to its fierce fires, until it consumes the vital force and then itself. Like the glut tonous tape-worm, it cries "Give, give, give !'' j but never enough until its own rapacity de vours itself. Samaritan Nervine gives iustant j relief in all such cases. It produces sleep, j quiets the nerves, builds up the nervous sys- j tern, aud restores body and mind to a healthy condition.
