SUDDEN DEATH AND SAD WARNING Our
friend Mr.. Henry Hughes, of Summitville
informs Us that a lad aged twelve or thirteen
years sou of Mr. Matthew Adelsberger a res
ieent of that village, died very suddenly on
Sunday afternoon last. Young AdeIsberger
was in the woods on the day previous, and, ac
cUru:ng to his own statement, ate large quan-
,ity oi birch bark, and this fact seems TO be the
only one which can be accepted as the cause Of
hs sIcden and lamentable death Certain it
g tI&t Oircn bark is very binding in its nature,
end VIXEN taken into the stomach produces in
hsyIust tion and costiveness which might prove
fa'al The bods of the victim in this case Is
seit n have become very much swollen. and
Sl-s sN1eFings could not have been other than
ezcru.ating during the few hours intervening
Fet~sen the eating of the bark and the sad
tcs...ination of his existence. Bows and others
who indulge excessively in birch bark should
be warned by the sudden and painful death of
Young Adeisbergert If it indeed be true that
this indulgence cost him his life.

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTORS.

The scalawags who have recently gone to Con-
gress in the name of the Southern. people, have
proposed to themselves novel expedient by which
to secure the election of Grant to the Presidency
It is that Congress shall authorize the Legislatures
of the reconstructed States, and the Conventions
of the unreconstructed, to choose the Electors. It
seems that even these mushroom politicians are a.
fad to entrust the election Of electors to that bad
ly deceived element-the negro-to whom they
owe their own brief elevation to power.
In this State there is, unfortunately for such
wicked schemes, very considerable obstacle in
the way of its success. The Constitution TART. 8,
Sec. 81 says: presidential Electors shall be elec-
ted by the People" 1t is possible that some Of
the other new State Constitutions have similar
provisions, as the whole batch of them present
very much the appearance of having been pre-.
pared by Thad Stevens Reconstruction Committee,
and expressed to the Conventions in readiness for
adoption IF this be the case, the electoral clause
is probably inserted in all of them.
When such desperate expedients as this are
proposed, they support the following differences /:
First, that the chances of the Grant ticket are by
no means promising in the eyes Of its own party
and secondly, that the radical party is afraid to
rely upon its colored adherents in the South to up
hold its fortunes in the contest We agree with
the Grant party in both of these positions. If
the election be fair one all indications point to
Seymour as the next occupant of the White House.
The people have already decided upon this.

THOSE BONDS.

The newly elected radical officers Of the State
are in considerable futter concerning their off,
cial bonds. The old law of the State fixed the
amounts of the several bonds for State officers;
and also provides that they shall be filed within
thirty days after election This law is still in foree
but bill is before the legislature for its repeal,
and also to reduce the amounts of the several
bonds required Comptroller General Neagle, and
Treasurer Parker, are said to be still rumaging
about, trying to get the requisite sureties, and
fretting considerably at the prospect of failure.
Radicals show similar proclivties to other people,
and don't like to risk their signatures on these
scallawag bonds. Mackey, Sheriff elect Of Char
lesion, has only been able to get up about $22 900
of doubtful suretes upon his bond of $50 900; and
the County Commissioners who are to approve
the same, have not yet been able to arrange their
own affairs

THE BANKRUPT Law.

Just previous to the adjournment of Congress,
the Bankrupt Bill was called up in the Senate by
Mr. Frelinghuysen, of New Jersey, and the a.
mendments were adopted as they passed the House
in May last. The amendment special interest to
the public is an extension of the time in which in
solvents may take the benefit of the law and re-
ceiye discharge, without reference to the amount
Of indebtedness an estate will pay. The amend
ment extends the time to the first day of January,
1869. The following is the full text of the law
bearing on this point:
'sBe it enacted, &C., That the provisions of the
second clause of the thirtythrd section Of said act
shall not apply to the cases of proceedings in bank
ruptcy commenced prior to the first day of Janua-
ry, eighteen hundred and sixty-nine, and the time
during which the operation of the provisions Of
said clause is postponed shall be extended unit!
said first day of January, eighteen hundred and
sixty-nine. And said clause is hereby 80 amend
ed as to read as follows: In all proceedings IN
bankruptcy commenced after the first day of Janu
ary, eighteen hundred and sixtynine, no discharge
shall be granted to debtor whose assets shall not
be equal to fifty per cent of the claims proved d
gainst his estate, upon which he shall be liable as
the principal debtor unless the assent in writing of
majority in number and value of his creditors to
whom he shall have become liable as principal
debtor and who shall have proved their Claims be
held in the case at or before the time of the hear
ing of the application for discharge.
1t will be observed by the above extract, that
another important amendment has been made,
which, however, is of no consequence until after
the first of January next Since the first Of June
last, no debtor could receive discharge unless his
estate would pay fifty per centum of all the debts
proven against it, whether those debts were con-
tracted on bis own behalf or as surety The re-
cent amendment provides in effect, that after the
first Of January next, the debtor may receive dis

We are pleased to learn from all sections of this
county, that the prospects we're never better for

some localities the forward corn was injured by
the long drought in June and July; but the rains
came in time to be of service to it The later corn
gives promise of an unusually large yield 80 +
The area planted in cotton is smaller this year
than last. There is also less quantity of com.

generally, but rather small in growth. It has too

farmers to calculate with any degree Of certainty

OUR STATUS.

An order issued from the War Department at
Washington last week, declares that as certain OF
the Southern States have complied with the Recon
structon Acts the military authority ceases to ex'
ist in those States. :.
A new military department is also constituted,
embracing the States of North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Florida, with den
Mead in command This new department is the
same as provided for under the old law, for divl-
ding the different States of the Union, with the
the forts, arsenas, and other military posts there
in, into separate departments, under the command
of officers of high rank The arrangement gives
no authority to intermeddle in the affairs OF the
State governments, unless theoomuIanderis Is called
upon by the Governor for military aid IN enforcing
the laws
The bayonet-rule in South Carolina has, there
fore, formally ceased to exist; and in its stead we
have carpet-bag scallawag and negro govern
ment. Under the terms of the Reconstruction
Acts this State is now as free from military inter-
ferance as any other in the Union, and occupies,
theoretically, precisely the same status as New
York or Ohio. /. -.
General Candy is ordered to the command Of the
military department of Washington, and will prob
ably leave in few days for that post. While the
people of the State may not regret his departure,
they have but little cause for qualification in the
change from military to the present form Of civil
government. -..*- -.
The Charleston papers surmise that the troops,
DOW in and about Charleston, will be removed in
few days; only leaving detaohmsats in charge of
the forts and the arsenal r.-r.sa ...t. ...
