Two RIVERS regret to learn that
on Friday last, as deacon II. H..
SMITH, one of the proprietors of the chair
factory, was engaged in helping some OF
the employees to lift heavy pla nk from
one story of the building to another, those
who had hold of the top end for some rea-
son let go of it, in consequence of which it
fell upon Mr.. SMITH, crushing him up
double for the time and hurting him Sc
verely. He has since been confined to his
room, in low condition, and it is feared
that he may become crippled for life, if
nothing more serious. His loss at any
time would be great loss to that commu-
nity as he has always been one of its most
enterprising and industrious citizens.
The fishermen of the village and vicinity
have made out quite handsomely during
the past few weeks-ono firm having salted
down FIVE hundred barrels of the 6nny
tribe, worth in Chicago Sc, 900 the lot.

The MINsTRELs.-O Neill g. Goodman 5
New Orleans Minstrels gave two excellent
performances at Turner Hall on Monday
and Tuesday evenings, to large audiences
This company embraces more talent than
any other troupe of the kind that has ever
visited our village, and their success de-
monstrate the fact that Manitowoc audi
ence can be pleas ed without a resort to in
delicate illusions and double eate,,dres,
which form the principal stock in trade of
most of the bands of travelling minstrels
The singing of Miss Maud Stanley was es-
pecially fine, and was listened to with de-
light by all lovers of music. Her artistic
rendering Of the Nightingale Trill," as
sung by Parepa, was of itself well worth
the price of admission. Messrs. Went>
worth, Goodman, o Neill, and others, also
acquitted themselves well in their respective
roles. The performances of the company
were an unqualified success, both as regards
the stamps netted to the manager and
the satisfaction given to the public. They
went from here to Sheboygan.

Our New Govern ent

The New York Times commends the tone
of some of its North Carolina exchanges
for their wholesome advice to our people,
that however much they may dislike the
new Constitution and the newly elected Of
fcers, they must submit to their fate, until
things ore changed for the better That
paper thinks if the Southern people gen
orally would adopt such sentiments as the
basis of their action, they would speedily
get out of their troubles.
So far as the people of North Carolina
are concerned, this advice is gratui-
tous We are essentially a law-abidipg
people, and a quiet and orderly sub
be are entirely characteristic Of their
history. The disturbing element in our
society, and to say we had none, would be
to deny that our government was control
led by human laws and differed by human
beings, belong almost exclusively to that
portion of our population who voted IN
favor of the present condition of things.
A different result at the baliot-box would
much more likely have produced immedi-
ate trouble than the one to which we ar
rived. The virtue, intelligence and wealth
of the State were defeated and these classes
of s. ciety have little to make and much
to lose by civil connections and disorders.
That a great revolution will and must take
place is as necessary as that the laws OF
Nature and Natures God are trne. The
present extraordinary and unnatural con-
dtion Of affa IRIS cannot last, or the expert
ence Of history means nothing and the di-
rect commands of God are worthless.
But is not some advice needed for those
who have been victorious in the contest
just ended and their present ends at last
accomplished ? While the defeated party
have prepared themselves to submit to
their lot without murmur, we have direful
threats, not only of perpetual disfranchise-
ments and political disabilities, but of
trials and death-penalties- by irrespon
81 bio babblers, but by high officials-men
whose hearts are consumed by malice and
cowardice towards those who will not steep
their souls in the foul dishonor into
which they have plunged.
We call attention, in this connection, to
the article from the Times, published else
where, in reference to the threats Of such
men, and containing a wholesome warning
to the people of the North in regard to the
purposes and wishes of the men under
whose charge their cruel, illegal and I'M
natural legislation has placed the destinies
of the Southern States. These things will
not always remain thus, nor will these
warnings be much longer neglected. The
eyes of the Northern people are being
opened and their sense of right and justice
is being aroused 1T is long lane
that has no turn"

heard from, which resulted in the det, at
of the Constitution by two votes, and elected
Conservative sheriff by l35, County Clerk
of Superior Court by two, mel ber of the
House by eighteen. The election in the
counties of Martin, Washington and Tv.
rell; for Senator, gave Hon. j. Il. Stubs
a majority of five, but the box at the pre-
cinct of GAINESVILLE, in Martin equity. be-
ing entirely under Radical Influence, was
kept open till the vote of the entire thee
counties was heard from, and the poll.
keepers then counted SO as to DE- f, at Mr.
Stubs and every county officer of Martin
except sheriff, and his majority of 1876 Wgs
reduced to about CO.

DEAR S1R-Dr. Kennedy, bearer of this,

up as candidates for Congress III that

possible object in such an election. We
do not particularly need members of Con-
gress from those States to enable us to get
along with legislation here. What We do
want is conclusive evidence that respecta-
BILE citizens of Louisiana are willing to be
members of Congress, and to swear sup

respectable citizens there are willing to

Death OF Louis Bertrand Hanks.

Our community received with profound
regret the announcement of the lamented
death of this estimable gentleman, so long
identified with the interests of Sumter,
and for SO many years a prominent and
successful merchant of our town. Since
the war, he removed to Charleston, where
he instituted successful Banking bust
ness, and where his sad death occurred.
A man of intelligence--of strict probity-
of the finest social feelings, he endeared to
himself host of friends who mourn with
poignant grief his untimely end.
He leaves widow and young son to
whom he was devotedly attached, and
whose loss is irreparable. Sumter Nesss.
lMr. HANKS was native of North Caro-
lima, but had resided in Sumter, South
Carolina, many years. Those Wilmington
mans who temporarily resided in Sumter
during the war found him to be gentle
man and friend. May he rest in peace.
