One good thing that may he set
down to the credit of the late Congress
is its psssage of the law reducing pos
tage oo single letters to two eents. It
is singular that wbeo a great surplus
revenue was reported some Congress
men hesitated to risk loweriog tbe pos
tsge rate, lest there seould he a slight
deficit in tbe Postoffice Department.
The increase in tbe receipts will un
questionably overcome any such deficit
within two or three years st the fur
thest ; and even if it should not. a part
of tbe revenues could not be better ex
pended than in securing cheap postage.
The marriage of Senator Tabor, of
Colorado, to Miss McCourt, of Chicago,

the marriage is legal in the eyes of tbe
law there was ne real marriage in tbe
eyes of tbe Catherie church. The af

THE PtTBLIC GRAMMAR.
It seems to us that public notices, es
pecially those which are daily read by
thousands of people, should be couched
in grammatical language. Where
large sums of the people's money arc
appropriated for the purpose of convey
ing to them, certain pieces of informa
tion, some one, who understands the
English language, should be employed
to indite the sentences. Some of our
officials, however, do not seem to regard
the matter, in this way, since the mil
lions of postal cards which are daily
consumed, and which are read by the
inmates of every household, bear upon
their faces a printed notice containing a
grammatical error. Thus, while salaried
officials in one department of our 'gov
ernment, are dispensing the public
funds to educate and polish the masses,
well paid officers in another branch are
cultivating error by placing continually
before the eyes of the children and the
unlearned, a sentence containing a vio
lated principle, which thousands of
teachers are annually paid to correct.
Recently our General Assembly voted
an appropriation for the erection of
painted signs at all railroad crossings
to warn the public of danger, and
though it amounted to several thousand
dollars, so little attention was paid to
the work that some ignorant workman
was allowed to paint a blunder .which
every child who can ?read is sure to
imitate.
We have received a copy of the An
nual Review of the Trade and indus
tries of the port of Georgetown from
Sept. 1st 1881 to Sept. 1st 1882. It is
a neatly executed circular, issued from
the office of the Georgetown Enquirer,
and exhibits a gratifying condition of
the business of the place. The amount
of trade for the year aggregates $4,
249,208 and its population at the last
census was 2,557.
The following description of the town
is, taken from the new Hand book of
South Carolina soon to be issued by the
State Department of Agriculture :
Georgetown was founded early in the
18th century by the Rev. M. Screven,
the first Baptist Minister in South Caro
lina. It covers an area a mile square
and has a population of 2,557, showing
an increase of 22 percent, since 1870.
It is laid out with a symmetry and regu
larity that have often elicited praise,
and has fourteen miles of streets all of
which are adorned by ornamental shade
trees celebrated for their beauty. The
principal business street of the town is
paved with stone, brick and wood.
Four main drains with a number of
lateral drains empty into Satnpit River
and constitute an excellent system of
drainage. The conrt house, jail and
town ball are of brick and erected at a
cost of $50,000. There are five church
es, three for whites. Episcopal, Metho
dist and Baptist, and two for the colored
population, Methodist and Baptist.
Tbey have an aggregate seating capaci
ty of over 3.000 and cost $30,000.
The educational facilities of the town
are good. There are two pnblic schools,
one white and one colored, and a con
siderable nuT.ber of private schools.
In addition to these is the Winyah In
digo Society Academy, an institution
which has during its long existence ac
complished much to elevate and liberal
ise onr people by disseminating knowl
edge among the poorer classes. Prior
to the war the school was purely elee
mosynary, but since that event, the im
poverished condition of the society has
compelled it to restrict the number of
beneficiaries and to establish a schedule
of tuition fees for all who were able to
pay. The ball of the Society is a two
stcry. brick edifice nearly eighty feet long
and forty wide, with lofty Corinthian
columns in front. It cost $18,000.
The lower story is nsed as a school
room, with two ante-rooms, one of
which is nsed as a laboratory for the
pursuit of experimental chemieai and
philosophical studies The pupils are
prepared to enter West Point and the
colleges and universities of the United
States. The principal of the school is
Prof. A. McP. flamby, a graduate of

Society is one of the oldest charitable
institutions in the South, having beeo
incorporated in 1756. For more than
a century it has dispensed its munifi
cent charity among our people and many
bright names, whose records have added
lustre to the history of oorStat*. were
first enrolled among the lists of pupils
to whom this noble organization threw
wide the deors of knowledge. The pre

A report conies to us that the people
of the Tiller's Ferry section on Lynch's
Creek are greatly excited at this time
over the rumor that there is a wild
woman wandering around io that neigh
borhood. Some persons who claim to
have seen her say that she is very
black, and that her body is covered
with long, black wooly hair ; also that
her appearance a ad actions are wild and
savage in the extreme. She is very
shy and will not allow two people to
approach her at a time, but if one per
son is alone she will attack him at once,
beating ana* bitiog him in- a fearful
manner. Two meo went out recently
to capture her, but up to nightfall
nothing had been seen of her. It was
suggested that tbey light a fire and
camp out, thinking that the light might
attract her attention and induce her to
come to it. After waiting some time
ooe of the men concluded that he would
go home. Shortly after be left, the
woman made her appearance and im
mediately attacked the man at' the fire.
He did hit best at fighting, but he
was do match for her. He was
beaten and bitten in a fearful man
ner. At last he got a chance to
run away, and he did it in quick
time. Fear lent speed and strength to
his limbs, enabling him to outrun his
enemy, altoough she is said to be very
swift of foot. This last act has increas
ed the excitement, and many persons,
it is said, are afraid to travel alone now.
A party is being made up to hunt her
down and effect her capture if possible.
Lynch'8 Creek Swamp is her hiding
place, and she remains there until
nightfall, when she starts out in search
of something to eat. When last seen
she was said to be eating a piece of a
hog that she bad just killed.?Camden

WASHINGTON LETTES.
[From our Regular Correspondent.]
Washington, March 9, 1883.
Most of our statesmen have taken
flight from Washington, and, strange
to say, the District did not tip op as
they moved off notwithstanding the fact
that many of them were men of great
weight (avoirdupois.) We know full
well that 'when the leaves begin to fall'
much of this same Congress will re
turn to us readily and remain with us
steadily, while on the other hand, tak
ing a hint from last November, much
of it will conclude that private interests
demand undivided attention at home.
However, ample provision will meet
this deficiency. There is no scarcity
in the United States of the stuff of
which congressmen are made.
The unfinished business left at the
adjournment of each Congress always
suggests a rearrangement of the ses
sions. Congressional sessions that may
have met every want half a century
ago are inadequate now to the growing
demands of so vast and populous a
country as ours has become. Senators
and representatives need to be forced
by public opiniou to recognize the
demand for a larger part of their time
to be spent in actual legislative work.
It has been proposed that each Congress
bold three sessions instead of two, so as
to make the whole of i|s two years
available for legislation instead of the
year and three months to which it is
restricted by the present system.
The tariff question ghost will not down.
It is the fruitful theme of discussion in
political circles here, composed largely
of members and senators who have not
yet returned to the bosoms of their con
stituencies. The free traders are a lit
tle afraid wool and iron have not been
given a fair deal. Judge Kelly has
compared the malcontents to the man in
Heaven who complained, that his halo
did not fit. Kelly is evidently pleased
with the fit of his halo.
The election of Senator Edmunds to
the presidency of the Senate will cause
considerable shifting around among
committees. Senator Edmunds must
retire from the chairmanship of the
Judiciary Committee, which will fall to
Senator Logan, who is no lawyer. As
the latter is chairman of the Committee
on Military Affairs, he will surrender
that to the next in order. Senator Cam
eron of Pennsylvania, who is imbecile
both in mind and body. Senator Cam
eron is already chairman of the Com
mittee 02 Naval Affaiars, and may not
wish to resign, a decision jbich would
give Senator Harrison the committee
on military affairs. Senator Miller
will inherit the chairmanship on foreign
relations, and so on. This general
shake op may not place the right man
in the right place, but? motion prevents
stagnation, and makes life more interest
ing.
Dr. Max Sering. a distinguished re
presentative of the Prussian govern
ment, who is travelling in this country
for the purpose of examining our pro- j
cesses of agriculture, is visiting, Wash-1
ington now. This week there has been j
an unusual demand for translators and '
interpreters, for, besides a delegation of i
Chippewa, Chickasaw, and Chocktaw
Indians,' to see the Secretary of the In
terior about their lauds, there is also in
the city a party of Japanese officials
traveling for recreation, and an Embas
sy from Madagascar, having for their
object the treaty with the United States |
which was ratified by Congress before ;
they landed at New York. Special at- j
tent ion 8 have been shown these ambas- j
sadors, and on Thursday they went!
down the river to Mount Vernon on the j
U. S. Steamer Despatch, which was I
placed at the disposal of Secretary Fre- |
linghuysen by Secretary Chandler, the j
marine band being detailed to accom
pany the excursionists. Invitations for
the trip, were extended to the Cabinet
Ministers, and the ladies of their fami
lies, the diplomatic corps, and others, I
the party numbering about seventy- j
five.
The resignation on Tuesday of Mr.
James Gilfillan, who has for six years
with so much efficiency and genial cour
tesy discharged the responsible duties of
United States Treasurer causes surprise
and general regret.
Since I began writing a singular ad
venture in which Ex Secretary Blaine fig
ured, and which has been kept remarka-!
bly quiet, has been made public. As he j
was riding home from the Capitol one j
night last week, a round, clean cut hole
was made in the plate gla&s of the bin- j
dau in which he was seated. Neither '
he nor the driver heard the report of a j
pistol, though the rumbling of the !
wheels could have prevented that If
the affair was not wholly accidental,
it could have been nothing less thau an
attempt at assassination.
[Since this was in type we have seen ;
a denial by Mr. Blaine, of the entire i
story.-^Ed. W. & S.]

On Saturdary morning a tragedy oc- i
curred at the Lunatic Asylum in !
Columbia. One of the patients, named
Z F. Whatley, of Edgefield County, j
who is a sufferer from acute mania, !
while in a sitting-room with half a j
dozen other male patients, managed to '
free his hands from the straps which
bound them to his waist. He then i
tore off the arm of a wooden settee and
made a wild attack on those in the j
room. He struck another patient,
named James A. Barrington, from
Marlboro county, in the back of the
head, fracturing the base of his skull,
and then attacked Mike Cantwell, a
keeper, felling him to the floor, when
another keeper ran up and secured
Whatley, thus preventing him from
doing farther damage. Barrington
lived till Sunday morning, when be j
died. j

A Dastardly Deed.
A Charleston Man Abandons Sis Wife
in a Strange City.
Chattanooga, March 4.?Friday
morning there came to the Florentine
House a gentleman accompanied by a
lady and one small child, whom he reg
istered as "wife and child:' They took
a room where they remained in seem
ing satisfaction until yesterday. When
the bonr arrived for the Western and
Atlantic evening train to depart the
husband picked up the child, and with
out a word of warning boarded the
train and left his wife. As an excuse
for taking the child out of the hotel
with him when be started, he told his
wife that he was taking the child down
town to give it some confectioneries and
"show it the sights."
When night came and brought no
husband or child she becamo alarmed,
and had the landlord to institute hasty
search for them. The man, who regis
tered as S. 0- Driver, had called before
leaving and settled the entire bill and
acted so suspiciously that Mr. Stoops at
once suspected his flight as soon as bis
whereabouts beiog unknown wss men
tioned. He, therefore, made inquiry
of a railroad official, who informed him
that Driver had left the city for?Charles
ton, S. C. When this information
was coveyed to the lady she burst into
tears. In response to questions she
stated that they had had some family
trouble, which necessitated her leaving
home, and that she had been with her
uncle in Collinsville, Ala., for a month
past. A few days since they "made
up" by correspondence, and her hus
band came from Charleston after her,
the two meeting in the city by arrange
ment. She saw too late that his pre
tended reconciliation was only a piece
of strategy adopted by him in order to
get possession of the child. He is
about 28 years old, a man of fine ad
dress aod quite intelligent. Sho looks
to be about 22 years of age, handsome
and refined. She only had six dollars
in money left, to which Mr Stoops ad
ded enough to pay her fare back to her
uncles where she went yesterday.
Their former home was Charleston.
The Publishers of the Richmond, Va., En
quirer heartily recommend Dr. Boll's Cough
Syrup and say : "It bos been well tried in

our city editor of a very bad case of Bron
chitis.
The latest fish story is told by the San
Francisco Chronicle, which says: "The
Trnckee river is now frozen to the bottom.
In passing aloag over the glassy surface of
the stream whole schools of trout are seen
firmly f?xed just where the cold ware Strock
them. The ranchmen living along the
river now go fishing with axes."
