The Major doubtless feels, that he has been
diddLed out of this sum by the Southern de-
magognes, who made him-good, orednlous,
contding soul-beleve that Kansas could be
made a slave State. We always regarded the
operation of the Squatter Sovereignty feature
of the Kansas bill the most transparent hum
bug we ever saw attempted to be passed off
upon any intelligent people; and our only surs
prise was, that any sensible man could be so
galled rs to embark in any such enterprise. 1t
Is, however, foreible illustration of the Inc
iuence of the political tricksters and dema-
gogues in whom the Southern people have
placed but too much confidence

THE BAY RourE-THE IcE-The Baltimore
American, of Wednesday, the I4th says:
The steamer North Carolina arrived at her
wharf at 10 O'Clock yesterday morning, from
Norfolk, aud reports great distractions 20 the
navigation. For some distance below ShArps
Island the bay is belted with strong girths of
ice reaching from the eastern to the western
shores, through there are places entirely open
while others are covered by soft ice. The
| navigation, however, is so difficult that the
Norfolk steamboat company has determined
to send no more boats ont At night The He
raid, which is fully prepared for the ice, will
be despatched al 8 O'Clock this morning. The
Georgia win be ready on Thursday, aud these
two boats viii continue the connection with
the South by daylight until the ice disappears.
The whole OF the upper part of the bay Is
olosel Up and will remain so for some time,
unless the ice should DO broken and carried
down BY high wind.

so rapid in this country, and the public

TO be out of the papers, where everybody
seeks for information on every subject, is to
be forgotten. The press is daily moie and
more becoming 0ecessiiy, and its useful

ly increasing. No man is wise, or just to
himself, who undertakes to do business

Death of Col. Joseph Grisham.


WIT "oe palned to learn that he departed
this life on the 9th instant. The sad event
was not unlocked for by his family, and oc-
CURED at his residence near Canton, Ga.
- - T-------A-
from the effects of an injury received, in
1887, by being kicked on the leg 10y horse
and from which he never fully recovered.
Latterly, his saferings were very great, but
it will be gratifying to his friends to know
that they were borne with Christian forti-
tude and resignation. He died with the
heavenly promise bright before him.
Col. GRESHAM was born in Anderson dis
trich in 1889, but was, for long number
of years, useful and prominent citizen of
Pickens. His industry and energy COM
bined with punctuality and strictly temper
ale habits, amassed for him large proper
ty, notwithstanding heavy losses by fire and
flood. In public affairs, he took the same
active interest that characterized him in
the management of his private concerns
ample evidence of his success in which may
be seen, in the workings of our district po-
lice, at this time. HIS integrity was above
reproach, and his patriotism undoubted.
He was friend to the deserving, and his
charities, publ and private, accordeC. har-
moniously with his ability to give.
1t is impossible, in a passing newspaper
article, to do justice to his life and memo
ry: therefore we leave il for mora oop,
petent and appropriate hands.
