?|e Ma?tjmiait at? Scat Jroii WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 12. The Governor we Want. As the time for the nomination of a successor to Governor Richardson ap? proaches the newspapers throughout the State are pattiug forth their favorites for that position. We are particularly pleased to note that most of the gentlemen, that have io this way been nominated, are meo of merit and capability and would be acceptable to the Democracy of South Carolina. But we are painfully aware of the fact that some of them, overcome by their self-io teres ts and conceit have Damed themselves leaders of the peo? ple, and by playiog upon the hard times and the scarcity of money which are oppressing the people, and con? cealing their demogogy, they assume the role of a patriot. They assign the present condition of affairs to false causes and rant and rear about what they would do for the dear people were they only in power. When these men have made self advancement out of the fact that things are not as prosper? ous as we might wish and have ridden to power on the troubles that are har? rassing th'-ir fellowman, they are im? mediately transformed into arrogant and selfish despots, turning a deaf ear to the plea for the well-beiog of the people. We are satisfied, however, that this is not the kind of man the Democracy wants. It wants a conservative, honest, courageous and capable man and they care net what vocation he may follow. Let him be this and there will be no inquiry as to whether he is a lawyer, merchant, farmer or mechanic. And in this the Darlington News is in full accord with the party. There are many io every vocation who would fill the gubernatorial seat to the satisfac? tion of all. But by all means he must be a representative man. If he be a' farmer, let him be a representative farmer, such as Hagood, Bratton, Woodward. Stackbouse, Mciver, Coker and a host of others we may mention, all of whom have held high positions of State and have shown themselves to : be worthy of the confidence of the people. Should such a mao be nomi? nated he would be acceptable to the whole State. 1 Bat let us renounce the demagogue and all his works for in this maj be foand the only practical solatios to the ' whole question.-Darlington News. An Editorial Fracas. MARION, S. C. Feb. 5-The Pee Dee index, published this morning,, coi.taios the following ?tory of a sensa? tional affair which <eecared here last night : Last night about 3 o'clock, every? thing beiog quiet and still upon the streets, as the editor of the Index, P. B. Hamer, was sitting io his office alone, some ene rapped at the door Mr. Hamer went to the door and opened '? it, and as he did so he was attacked by Jaoins H Evans ?nd W J McKerall, editors of the Marion Star. Evans and McKerall both caught hold of him and one of them struck him. Mr. Hame? attempted to defend himself, bnt was dragged from the office by the two men. In the melee be was thrown dowo on the floor Io bis efforts to regain his feet be was thrown down ?he steps, his head striking either one of the steps or some hard substance in the yard. From the effects of this blow Mr. Hamer was rendered uncon? scious, and does not remember what subsequently occured. During the fight Evans tried to force an apology from Mr. Hamer for the article pub? lished in the Index last week concern? ing the S ar, but this was steadily refused, and Evans said: "Let's beat bim un ii tie does apologize or give up .** No apology nor explanation of aoy kind was made by Mr Hamer, as be bad made np bis mind that they might kill bim before the woutd retraet or apologize for anything that he had said. While on the floor Evans and McKerall kicked aud choked bim while Taioly endeavoring to make him either call for help or apologie for the objec? tionable article. lt was impossible for Mr. Hamer to defend himself successfully, as he was wholly unarmed and as either of hie assailants is bis equal in physical man? hood. WHAT LED TO TH 8 TSOCBUE. Io the Star of the 22od, alt , ap- ] peared an article purporting to be a bit of local history, white in fact it was an attack upon the white citizens, the Democrats of the tow*, on the subject of the recent and last year's town elec- j tiona, charging fraud and bribery to our best citizens and undue influence upon our colored voters The Index replied to that article last week, the 29th, ult . in defence of the town, alleging that the Star had a'lied itself . with the aegrooo. &Q<J in abasing the whites of the town was in full accord with the most radical of Radical papers j This, it is alleged, is borne out by the fact that the editor? *>f the Star, in each of the two last elections, were very active io defeating the regular nominatioa of suck men as (j. A Norwood, president of the Bank of Marion ; J P. Davis, County Treas? urer ; R J Blackwell, merchant; P A. Wilcox. lawyer ; C A. Wilcox merchant; E T, Elliott, and other leading ettiz^ns. The tickets elected were nominated and elected by the solid colored vote, with only the few j whites who favor liquor-selling in our j dry town One of the editors of the Star has been clerk, the only paying office, under both oouooils. Of late the editorials of that paper have been strongly tinctured with flattery of the negro ; hence the attitude of tba Index. After waiting until the last moment of the week followiog the publication of the article in the Index, junius H Evans aod W J. McKerall went to the office of the Index and committed the assault as reported in the Index to-day by Mr. Hamer himself. Mr. Hatter's office was the scene of a pe-fect oration to-day. most of the leading citizens calling and expressing the greatest indignation. A petition for fae removal of Junius H Evans from tfce office of Trial Justice has been circulated and signed bv almost ail of the white citizens._ Gvfumhts* A**?Mr>r I>K.

DeLwii?. 5 Killed in the Act The numerous burglaries and lar? cenies that have been committed io an around Florence for seme time past has put the people on their guard, and at least one of the marauders has sacrificed his life while attempting to pilfer the .property of a citizen. For some time past, Mr. S. T. Burch, who is the Coroner for this county, has been losing potatoes from the banks in his yard, just beyond the corporate limits of town, and bas only recently lost between twenty-five radi thirty head of poultry, at diff?rent! times. He was OB the'lookout for the thief, and OB Tuesday night, at a j quarter to ll o'clock, he was awakened by tte ?barking of his dogs. Jumping from his bed. he seized his gun and '. went out in the yard in his night clothes, wheo he discovered some one at his po? tato bauk$. The tbief ?aw bim, and began to crawl towards the fence, and as be attempted to scale it Mr. Burch fired, killing bim instantly Dr. J Vf . King, who was called to see the dead man, stated that nineteen buckshot had penetrated his lungs/ causing i?etant death. As soon as Mr. Bnrch discovered that he bad killed the man, he went in the house, put on his clothes, came to Florence and gave himself up to Sheriff E. W. Johnson. Yesterday morning Trial Justice E ; W. Lloyd,, acting a? Coroner, sum? moned a jury and proceeded to hold an inquest The facts developed were as stated abcvi?, and the jury rendered a verdict "That Guy Sanders caine to his, ! death by ga-ast?ot wounds by a gun in the haods of S. T. Burch while said Guy Sanders was depredating on Burch's premises and within his curti? lage ; and ta the opinion of this jury he was justified io tie killing." . The negro was Guy Sanders, and he bad been released from jail only ten days before for larcency. Yesterday afternoon Mr. Burch was taken in court, and Judge Kershaw released him on bail in the sum of j OOO. While the killing is regretted, and by Mr. Burcb particularly, nevertheless he did no more than what any other man, white or black, would have done and been justified io doing under simi? lar circumstances. A. man's property is bis very own, aud no one has the right to enter his premises and purloin it.-Florence Times. The Electropoise. Florida Christian Adr.t>cate, Soon after the yellow fever became epi? demic in Jacksonville, Mr. John N. Webb of Birmingham, Ala-, president of the Electro-Libratioa Company, wrote to the Board of Health of Jacksonville SOT permis- ! sion to go to JacksonvSRe wStfc Dr. Sanche of New Orleans, the inventor of the Elec? tropoise, to treat gratuitously, yellow fever patients. Mr. Webb getting no answer, Rev. Calvin Morrow of Hawthorne, Fla-,, wrote me to use rny influence to obtain ad? mission for Mr. Webb and Dr. Sanche. I had known Mr. Morrow from his early boy? hood, and though I could not doubt his word, J tbosghl my communication would be of more avail if I stated what I had seen., On the receipt of Mr. M.'s letter I at onee went to Hawthorne to see what effect the Electropoise had produced on Mr. M., who had been treating himself for two weeks with the instrument. Mr. Morrow came to this State about five years ago, broken down in heaith and constitution. He had long been suffering from a complication of diseases-dyspepsia, catarrh, thinness of blood, &c. Th?s* grave diseases had be? come chronic. As Mr. M. came to my , bouse when first coming to Florida and stayed some tims with me, I know the above to have been his condition. His con? dition had become worse during his resi? dence in this State. He and his friends had despaired of his life, when he heard of the Electropoise and its wonderful earea.. He at once ordered an instrument. 1 saw bim two weeks after he commenced treat? ment. When I s:.w him, after two weeks' treatment, to all appearances he was a sound man, only he had not recovered his flesh. His appetite was good and his di-1 gestion perfect. Mr. Morrow gave me eommaniea?kO?e ?rom persons, well known .to me as of the higbtst standing and char? acter, testifyihg to the most wonderful cures experienced by them or known to them. These comownicaiastta and the result of my pers3&a$ observations were ?e?t by me to the authorities in Jackson? ville. I urged that Mr. Webb and Dr. Sanche should be admitted and the treat? ment given a fair test I urged tnat of all others, medical mei:u whose business it was to heal, take the rc at ter in hand, that by no doing ix* either event they would be benefactors, and if the healing power claim? ed for the Electropoise were true, physi? cians could soonest make it available for curing diseases and relieving suffering : but if these clausa for the Electropoise were false, physicians were best prepared ta expose the fraud. I did not think thai such an amount of testimony of 3*igh character could be lightly set aside by the Board of Health of Ja*k*anville. Mr, W. and Dr. S. went to Jacksonville. Col. J. J. Daniels favored giving them a tait trial. The executive committee, of which he was chairman, by resolution requested the &WMai of Health to give the Electropoise a good test. DT\ Sanche, the inventor, a reg? ular physician, of long practice in New Orleans, familiar with yellow fever, claim? ing to have repeatedly cured the cf?seas* by his method of applying electricity, was on hand to direct the treatment. But every obstruction to a fair test and prac? tice was thrown ia the way of these gentle? men by those in highe*g authority. The president of the Board of Health asked Mr. Webb if he wouli tfcke the first twenty j cases. diagtiOsed by regular physicians anet of prouou&Sti? yellow fever, on condition that he < Wekb;. would go to Camp Perry on the ?rst demite Ta thU extraordinary proposition ?fir. Webb at once consented. Under these disadvantages Mr. Webb anet Dr. Sanche commenced gratuitous practice on any ca*es they could command. Mr. W. WK? living ii* & U.O!J>if with several yel? low fever patients. Me w;is d#;ly over them. He had never been acclimated, had never had the yellow fever, and yet he ' escaped. The Metropolis, published at Jacksonville, ?otu* time ago gave the re- i suit of their work. 1 i&*eu from the state? ment that eighty cases were is^&tt? by the Elect ropoise. Ont of hese there were- but three deaths. Of thi.se lattter two were taken after black vou?t had set in nn<? col? lapse followed. The otber <?e*??h hi*# oc? curred after recovery from yellow fever and from over eating. Re^pecta-bte men. I think about twenty, made affidavit that they had been cured by Electro. JiWation. j These affidavits, together with on?? from j Or. Sanche giving a st.-rf^tnent of r?*ul<? of j treatment, were submitted to the president i of the Board of Health.. Ja*/, nothing ! could avail to remove obstructions, and j these gentlemen left Jacksonville to meet elsewhere pressing engagements. A few days a^o I visited Hawthorne and j spent a day in questioning person? who j had been treated by Electro-Libffrtfcon. I ! found Mr. Morrow growing touter; In i the meantime, from expoaure m treating I the sick he had brought on i? vi*4ent attack j of pneumonia. He h;is l?6e*a for years ! liable to snob attacks, and under the b*'st medical care the pain usually lasted him about four days and left him prostrated and for slow convalescence. Under treat? ment of the Electropoise he was free from pain in six hours and in a short time was as well as ever. He says his health is now better than it has been for thirty years. One lady told me that when she commenced treatment she was a confirmed dyspeptic for years ; could eat nothing without pain j following? could not digest, that since the I first treatment from the Eieetropof*? she j ha* had no dyspeptic symptoms, could now i eat anything and digest it well. She UuX also been cured of blood poison-a blood ttaint. Another lady told me her physician had abandoned her to suffer and to die Boon, telling her that medicine could be of no avail in her case. Her health was so delicate that Mr. Morrow refused to allow her to "tie on" to the instrument. That by begging he consented to giv&her ten minutes sitting daily. The short sittings proved of benefit and she bought an instrument "And now," said she, "I feel like a new woman." Some ladies present said, "And you look Eke a?new woman." I met others : who had been relieved of Rheumatism, Sciatica and Neuralgia. I heard of a num? ber of cases ef typho-malaria. Similar cases had van from three weeks to seven weeks,.and some had resulted in death. Those treated yielded in from three to six hours, and many required only one sitting to insure recovery. Time would not permit me to investigate further ; but I am satisfied that under God there is wonderful curative power in the Electropoise. Having given this recital, let us now, Mr.: Editor, consider the rationale of this thing. Electricity has throughout the history of civilization been known as tho most power? ful physical force that touches things raan dane. Perhaps gravitation may be ex? cepted. And even this has been claimed as a result cf electricity. Some hundred years ago and a little over, Franklin began to discover the possibility of controifing elec? tricity. In this line, year by year, and with arithmetical procession, progress has been made, until ?aw there is no telling how far this may proceed, in telegraphy, in photog raphy, in motors, in decomposing organic substances, ia rc ry st aliza tion and in healing. Differing from other material things in ponderability, etc., it can only be felt and its effects seen, and probably next to the spiritual the most potent force known. Why may not this mighty force be mastered for the healing of the bodies of men ? The Great Spirit is the one healer of spiritual diseases, why may not that which in nature is most Sek* bim become the great agency ' for repairing the physical results of sin against God and nature-death only ex? cepted. Had this discovery been made earlier in our civilization electricity might have been made, and doubtless would, sub? servient to the art of magic and the prac? tice of witchcraft and diabolism, but dis? covered in this advanced stage of civiliza? tion it is being utilized as God intended it should be, as one of God's powers for the furtherance of the gospel of good will towards men, and not for their destruction. Further, we know that electricity has power to decompose the firmest organisms and the strongest metals. Under proper manipulation it can tear apart atom by atom the mass of silver, gold or platinum, and invisibly transfer these atoms to the copper plate or steele blade, and so cover up these baser metals and make our cheaper tableware look as though made of solid sil? ver or gold. Almost every household in1 our land has these silent witnesses of the strange power of electricity, If electricity is so powerful in decomposing one mass and building up another at will of the operator, has it not power enough to de- ' compose weaker foreign substances in the human body so that they be conveyed in invisible atoms out of the body through the skin, lungs and bowels ? I can not see why this agent could not decompose any foreign substance that may poison the body or ob? struct the circulation, and then, by means of the natural organs, gxpal it from the .sys-i tem. Why may not electricity, skillfully handled, be more searching more speedy, and more effective for good than quinine, or calomel, or the surgeon's knife ? But suppose the cause of disease be a living organism, a microbe with its wonderful power for increase, feeding upon and dis- [ organizing the firing tissues of the human body. We have simply to remember that electricity is sufficiently powerful to de? stroy any and all life, that when given in sufficient and measured force it is an up bujider of and essential to life ; when given in excess it will destroy the oak as easily as. the microbe, the elephant as easily as the ' animalcule. Then the science of its appli-1 cation whether to destroy or to build up is the knowledge and application of the force requisite for the desired result. Vtiij may, it not be so applied as that the force that would destroy the microbe shall at the same time build up larger and stronger organism -kill the disease, at the same time build up the man ? THE ELECTBQPOWE is a neatly constructed and easily manipu? lated instrument. The battery, a metal cylinder about four inches in diameter and six inches long, is buried in the earth twelve or eighteen inches, covered with saw <t*?ff_ ?.cai tbs gre*&d always kept moist. A wire leading from the cylinder passes through a small hole in the wall of the room to the Electropoise. The Electro poise looks very much like a telephone. A wtiMit board aiK?at tw<? feet long by eight inches wide contains a system of wires and keys, regulating the power of the electricity to be applied to the patient. Leading from i the board which is fastened to wall of the room, is an insulated and compound pliable wire ending in a metal plate, which is tied or buckled to the ankle of the person to be treated. There is no negative pole to the battery, and as the circuit is not completed, there is no shock or electric current felt by ike patient. He is simply charged with electricity regulated by the operator at will through the system of keys mentioned. On the upper part of the walnut board is a metal disk also arranged with a system of keye to control the current. When this disk is turned througa tue key into com? munication with the battery the electricity plays upon and electrifies the atmosphere in the room so that a delicately nervous person may detect the effect. It is claimed that this arrangement has been tried in the most malarial district in the Valley of the Mississippi, and in no instance has any j fever occurred in a room furnished with j this instrument I have made this communication longer than-1 thought to when I begun, but I could not stop soofij&r and ease my conscience, which I trust is urging n*e on ia the service of God, and the interest of humanity. REV. DB. T. W. MOORE. Alabama Christian Advocate. From the Florida Christian Advocate, of recent date, we clip for <*tr first }>age an i article on the Electropoise. the great yellow fever exterminator, which, according to the statements of Dr. Moore, did fine work and ga*e great satisfsuetioc dwriwg the recent epidemic in Florida. Titi? Eleetro-librator is now attrijciiag the attention scientific men in many portions o? the country, and from the many testimonials furnished seems to possess all the merit claimed for U by the inventor. We are not sufficiently acquainted with the science of electricity, especially in its more modem dere?opinents, to express j an opinion ; but ve are aware th** all discoveries in science are generally sub ! jeotected to the most scrutinizing tests. ! James Watt, the inventor of the steam eu? gine, has wisely said ; "Ile who develops a great invention iau*t pass ihrough three stages in the estimation of his fellows : First, it will be said to be impossible ; next, j it will bo said he hes not done it; thirdly, it will be futiii tiiHt it has long boen known, and that many others hud done it before." Kor the benefit of our readers we take great ple<i?ure in appending the statements of two o? our citizens in regard to the vir? tues of the instrument. Dr. Beard, rector of the Episcopal Church in this city, says : "JOHN N. WEBB--Dear SirIn reply to your inquiry as to the effect on my health , of the use of the Electro-Librator you were i kind enough to put at my oouvfuience.
