that these wonlL be loft beyond the reach Of

BAD MANUSCRIPT.

Persons preparing matter for this paper
are requested to write legibIy, and write the
words in full. Printers are worry good at
guessing generally but those who desire
their manuscript set up correctly, had bet
ter not depend too much upon instinct ard
guess work. 1t is barely possible Il at they
may guess wrong. a god deal of time is
unnecessarily consumed in making out this
kind Of manuscripts. We had some the
past week, which the whole Office, editor in
cIuded, could not decipher and we count
ourseIf some at this business. We say
therefore, TO all concerned, that if wrong
guesses were made, we arc not responsible
for them.

MR. BROOKS SUCCESSOR.

The Signs of the Times indicate tha, n
warm contest is about TO be made, in filing
the vacancy occasioncd by the death of the
Iamented Preston =. Brooks. The post of
Representative TO Congress, seems indeed
of latter years, 10 be n much coveted posi-
ton. Scarcely does a vacancy occur, or an
lntima,ion Of one, before any number ofas-
pirants are brought forward and their seve-
raj claims urged before the people. This
seems TO be the case now in the Fourth
Congressional District, and il is unfortunate
that it is so. Recent events in Charleston,
should serve rs a warning adnonition, and
nc trust, that what now prognosticates n
scramble, will result in concession and
good feeling between all parties.
