Private advices from Washington inform os that the Senate committee has reported favorably opon the appointment of Mr. G. W. Reardon as Postmaster at this place. The Express and telegraph offices have been moved into new and commodious quarters next door South of T. C. Scaffes'. The Council has taken the advice of the Watchman and S-tdhron as to the manner in which toe trees ought to be trimmed. The ; work is now being done in the proper mah- ! ncr. Workmen are now going over the first ' work dooe and sawing off the ugly snags left on the trees. A copy of the Clarence Sun, published at Clarence, Iowa, seot to us this week contains \ a fine sketch of the business and social features of th*: place. Among the ministers i of the gospel mentioned, we notice the name of Rev. N. H. Downing, as pastor of the j Presbyterian Church there. Mr. Downing will be remembered by many of our readers. Mr. C. C. Redie who has lately come among us will in a few days open a barber shop m the office vacated by the Express and telegraph companies. Mr. Redie is a most pleasant and agreeable gentleman and having parried a Sumter girl (Miss Anns Stansill,) He is really one of us. He proposes to run his business io first class style and will no doubt enjoy a large patronage. Capt. T. B. Johnston. The agony of suspense over the Collector ship at the Charleston port, the biggist plum in Sooth Carolina, bas been at last relieved by the appointment of Capt. T. B Johnston of this county to that important office. --*mmmwM*? Dance. A delightful Xmas hop will be given at Music Hali on the night of the 26>h, inst. 11 promises to be a pheasant affiir. Dr. A J Gbina will act as floor mauager. Invita? tions have beea sent to the ladies. The gen? tlemen will be charge d a small admission fte at the door to help defray expenses. A Snccessful Hunt. X party of ten made up from this city and Stateburg returned on Saturday last from a successful bunt on San tee, near St. Stephens. Nine deer, several turkeys, foru ducks and fishes innumerable aere the trophies of these Nimrods. D. James Wino was of tue party, ask him. Clever Detective Work. Our Chief of Police received from Darling- j ton a few days ago a dispatch saying-"Ar- j rest Jno. James, knock-kneed " This was j .bown to Mr. Wm. H. Epperson of the force j .nd in a few minutes he bad handcuffs ou the I right man. Jno. James, knock-kneed, had ' be?n violating the Revenue laws in Darling- j ton. Hotel Needed. A lady from the north stopped in Sumter a 1 few day8 ago with a view of spending the winter here, being attracted to the place by j .ur recent Review. She found no suitable accommodations here and had to go aon to j Camden. A grand hotel is becoming an ab- ? solute necessity to Sumter, and we must have one. Death of Convicts. London Sumter, convicted at the last term : of Court hereof forgery, and sent to the peo- j itentiary, died at that institution about a week since. He is the second Sumter convict . of the last batch sent, who bas died in prison The first was Rob't Ivey, white, whose death ! we mentioned in oar last issue. Beautiful Display. The windows of the store of Mr. Alt. Moses ; .re handsomely and tastefully dressed and j ornamented with the goods and Christmas holiday articles from the store. The display is ? very beautiful and beyond our power to de- ? cribe. AU tte various articles are harmon? iously blended into a picture of surpassing beauty. Go and see it. 1i New Express Wagon. The Southern Express Company bas furn- j ?shed to Mr. J. M. Spann, the agent here, a j ' new wagon for use in the business. It is of , commodious size and with a cover. It is j quite an improvement on the one formerly in ; use, and if the Company will uow send a good horse, a still further improvement will be added. Providence P. O. J. M. Manigault, colored, bas been ap- ! pointed Postmaster at Providence. The ap- j point?e can't afford to keep this little country \ ? office for the pay there is in it. Mr. King- ! man the present Postmaster only R*pt it for ? j the convenience of himself and neighbors and ! ' in connection with bis mercantile business. The appointment of Manigault is apt to break < i op the office. Quick Work. We have received from the Publisher. J. S. i Ogilvie, New York, a volume entitled The I ' Life and Death cf Jefferson Davis, edif-d by ! A.C.Bancroft The brief examination which our hurry to i get to prfss bas enabled os to make of this book, convinces os that it is well prepared and interesting. It contains a sketch of the j public and private life of tte eminent de- ! ceased and a description of ?.be ceremonies ; attending bis obsequies, with comments ot the press, te. No Notice. The people of Sumter and vicinity who ! were deprived of the pleasure of hearing the j eloquent speeches delivered in Music Hall on j the occasion of the Davis Memorial services | there, are down on the City Council for not i having given proper notice, io advance, of 1 1 the meeting. A lew dodgers scattered about ? the street would have been sufficient. The little piece of paper etuck up at the post office was a poor apology and did not answer the purpose. i - a? I imm -j i Nigger Shooting. j * Two negroes, by name, Joe Charles and j 1 George Singleton, became iavolved io a row j ? on Belt's Mill plantation, in Privateer town- ! Ship, on Thursday last, in which the nimble pistol and the bloody shot gun played their I < usual parts Both parties to the fi?ht receiv- ? i ed wounds. Charles was badly wounded by j < . discbarge of bird shot from Singleton's gun I and the latter received a flesh wound in the : < left arm, inflicted by a bullet from Charles' ? 1 pistol. Capt. Carson repaired to the scene of | ' . the fight to suppress a further riot threatened j * by friends of the combatants and to ascertain ' J the nature and extent of the wounds inflicted, I ' so as to make arrests should the wounds be i 1 of such a character as io cause apprehension i < of fatal results. The Sheriff found that wbiie | the wounds of Charles were serious tbey were j not such as to warrant bim in taking Single- < ton into custody. No arrests have yet beea I made. ' Married. In this cit j at the residence of C. W. Stan sill, on Wednesday afternoon, December ISth, by Rev. E. T. Hodges, Miss Bettie Stansill ol Sumter to Mr. Willie Coward of Marlboro. The happy couple left on the 6.30 train foi their home to Marlboro. Our best wishes at? tend them. The Rev. Thos. P. Hay was married on the 17th inst by the Rev. Lucius Cuthbert to Miss Jennie Mikel!, daughter of Jeukius Mikel! Esq , of Edisto Island. -- Birtb. Born to Mr. and Mrs. Bonneau Murray, on yesterday a (tiri. Burn to Mr. and Mrs. R. O Purdy a girl, both mother and child are doing well. i?- ? ? ? ? -? Death. Mr. J. W. Gamble, well known citizen of Florence, died on the 13th. Col William H. Duncan, ? prominent citi? zen of Barnwell county died on the 15th. Mrs. A F. Cousar. of BishopviTe died sud? denly on Saturday night bis?, and WHS buried on Monday. We have been unable to learn any further particulars. D. J. Auld and Chas. T. Mason. We think the thanks of the ci-y are due Col I> J Auld as a Christmas greeting for our beautiful electric lights. He was the soul and moving spirit of that enterprise which resulted in such gratifying success. The Electric Licht Company are particularly fortunate in having two such tuen ns Col. Auld and Charlie Mason. The one to Scheme, plan, manage and energize the general busi? ness of the Company, and the other by his skill as an electrician to carry it into success? ful operation and perfect its mechanical de? tails. The hghts are a thing of wonder to the countryman and of pride and joy to the people of the city. Hurrah for Auld and Mason. Circus License, Col. Graham. Clerk of the Court, has shown us the opinions of some of the most promi? nent members of the Bar to the effect that the recent show here was not a circus in the legal acceptation of that term. Coi. Graham fol? lowed Andressand his coons (?) to Columbia with a view of taking legal steps to collect the license tax for this County, but was ad vised by three Solicitors and several other lawyers th?t he could not et .blish that An? dreis had exhibited a circus in Sumter. Mr Wilson, Solicitor of this Circuit, did not join in the opinion, but eu the other hand, advised that it was a circus. Col. Graham has done all that diligent zeal for the public service could suggest to remedy what we considered a mistake. The question is still an open one, and we cheerfully give the Cle k the bene6t of the doubt. He took ihe nd vice of those parties whose opinions he valued before deciding the question and bas been supported io his ruling by good legal authority. - --? Fires. Our towu has again been the scene of a dis? astrous fire. This time Mr. Carr, with many of his employees, is the sufferer. His carpen? ter shop situated near the depot was burned to the ground last Friday night about the hour of 12 o'clock Over five hundred dollars worth of carpenter's tools were totally destroy? ed. But little insurance. Many of the tools belonged to poor men-who can ill afford the loss, and we hop? the appeal made to our people in their behalf will meet with that liberal response tbe ot ject merits. These fires are becoming of startling and alarming frequency. Tney are evidently the work of incendiaries, and we earnestly recom? mend that the City Council miploy a detec? tive to ferret out the culprits. Our city tire department are not, in these recent emergencies, displaying iheir reputed efficiency. They are slow tc arrive upon the scenes of conflagration and slower to get to work. Too much water is kept in the t oiler of the engine, thus rendering it difficult to get up steam. A smaller quantity of water would enable the engineer :o get his h^ad of steam quicker without danger to the boilers. We understand tint thes^ boilers are so con? structed as to make it impossible to explode them. The town cwns two horses. Why not stable these horses at the engine house at night, with harness ready hitch them to the ?ngine in case of fire? The nouse, occupied by Sumter Shannon, just beyond the Southern limits of the city was burned to the ground t.:i Sunday night last. The ringing of the fire alarm about 10 P. M , brought almost the entire population to the streets. The frequent recurrence of these alarms is beginning to make the women nervous and the men irritable. Privateers Memorial. pRtVATEKR, S. C., Dec ll, 1S89. At the hour when the funeral services of the illustrious statesman and patriot, Jeffer? son Davis, were being heida large uuml-er of our people, consisting of ladies, gentlemen and children, assembled at the Privateer Al? liance Hall to hold a memorial meeting iu honor of the distinguished dead. Dr. John H. Furraan was made chairman, Col. F. M. .Mellett and Mr. T. J. Hudson, vice presi dents, and Mr. R. S. Whilden, secretary. The chairman announced the cause of the meeting, and then a committee was ap pointed to draft resolutions suitable for the occasion. The following are the resolutions : Resolved, That we, the people of Privateer, have assembled ourselves together to-day for the purpose of giving expression to the pro? found emotions which have been aroused within us by the announcement of the death of Jefferson Davis, late President of the Southern Confederacy, a mao of rare quali? ties, cultured, brave, chivalrous, a statesman md a patriot, and that HOW at the close of a long and most eventful life, we believe that he carries with him to his last resting place the unimpaired admiration of all chivalrous men, and tbe und wog love and confidence of ill true sons of his own beloved Southland that land for which he su?fcred so grievously ind so long. Resolved, That we, the people of Privateer township, Sumter County, ?tate of South Carolina, wili contribute our mite towards the erection ufa monument to this illustrious Statesman and martyred patriot. Resolved, That we extend to his afflicted family our heartfelt sympa hy. These resolutions were unanimously adop? ted by a rising vote, and on motion of .Mr Frank Meilett it was decided that they should be published in The News and Courier and the Sumter papers. Earnest remarks were made by Mr. W. G. Weils and one or two others. Dr. R. B. Forman read an original poem on President Davis, and Ex-Representa? tive W. O. Cain read extracts from Th? News and Courier about bis b:gh character. On motion of Mr. Cain the Secteta-y was author? ized to make collections for t ie monument. The meet mg then adjourned. Several dollars were giveu to the Secretary for the monuuieut before the audience dispersed. Jefferson Davis spent the last year of his life in literary woik. lie wrote au artich* on Ander3onvilIe for the North American He rie w, exonerating the Confederate Government from the charge of wanton cruelty toward Federal prisoners. On the publication of his reply to Lord Wolseley in the North Ano rirnn (which, Mr. Davis charged, was mutilated by the American editor in the interest of the English Government ). Mr. Davis refused to permit the North American to publish his article on \udersonville unless trie editor should agree to publish it ur.mutilated. The editor re? fused to give that pledge. Mr. Davis there? upon withdrew his article and transferred it to Ildjonls Magazine, lt will appear in the January number. In the same issue ?kiford s will publish a brief autobiography ot Mr. Davis, written a short time H^O.
