own confession, the soldier in question
was a Democrat, and we submit that
it is a very unusual occurrence for
Republicans to ASSIST in placing Dem
ocrats in office. Bd$e thought, Of
course, that the Democracy would
hasten to bestow upon this crippled
soldier an official position commensu
rate with his merits, and we were
confirmed in our hope by seeing the
soldier in question at the Democratic
Convention. But it seems that how.
ever anxious the Democrats were for
the gentleman soldier to retain an
office, which no other Democrat could
possibly get, they were not so verdant
asto confer one upon him which they
had in their power to give. We
had been led to suppose, from reading
the Courier, that Democrats loved to
honor soldiers with Office; but out OF
about a halfdozen nomiuationsrecently
distributed among the Democracy oi
this county, we fail to hear OF one
bestowed upon a soldier with sound
limbs-much less a crippled soldier

VACATION.

Schools in the Union District, in
this place, closed last Friday. In
company with Col. Bope, Clerk Of
the Board, and some of our citizens
we visited some of the rooms and
were much pleased with the progress
made during the past year. A part
of the forenoon was spent in the new
building, where we had the pleasure
of listening to an interesting lesson in
Algebra in the High School. We also
visited the Secondary, No. 1 room, in
care of Miss Crumrine, and one of the
Primary rooms in care of Miss Thomas
The recitations gave ample proof o
proficiency on the part of the pupils
and care and labor on the part o.
teachers. We were particularly pleas.
ed with the recitation in Miss Thorn.
ass room, where an interesting class
of little people were mastering the
first principles of the language
printing sentences on the blackboard
and giving the powers and names Of
letters--a great advance over the old
memorizing of words without ideas.
In the afternoon we visited the
West-end building Here we found
the four schools consolidated and
congregated in the Secondary No. 2,
in charge of Mr.. J. N. Baker, for a
farewell exercise. After excellent
vocal music in English and German,
accompanied by instrumental music,
which was highly enjoyed and appre-
ciated by all present, encouraging
addresses were made by Col. Bope,
Rev. Hollyday and Fl. P. Gage, Esq.
The exercises closed with a recitation
in Written Arithmetic in which the
class acquitted themselves with credit,
and the distribution of presents by
Mr. Baker. to those of his school who
were present. There was much in
the exercises that was commendabIe.
The German Thanksgiving song by
Mr.. Ruh's pupils, was particularly
deserving of mention. We are very
sorry to hear that the Board have not
thought best to employ Mr.. Baker for
another year. We believe they base
their action on the score of economy /;
but We fail to see it in that light. All
admit that Mr.. B. is an excellent
teacher; that his experience in our
schools has given him an advantage
over a new teacher. Then, why, for
the small pittance of $40 a year make
a change? We have not heard q
single objection urged against Mr.. B.,
and therefore, come to the conclusion
that it is mere matter of dollars and
cents, which we contend should not
be too closely looked at in this matter.
They may secure No. / teacher in
his place, but will a saving of $40 a
year recompense the patrons for the
risk they run in the change. We
have found fault with the Board
where we have thought them wrong.
We now take occasion to say, on the
other hand, that we believe our
School Board are taking an active
interest in the welfare of our schools.
We think their action i'm the above
matter hasty and ill-advised. If time
should prove the contrary, we shall
be willing to admit that we were
wrong.

NOT HARMONIOUS.

Notwithstanding all the gasconade
by some of the leaders of the so-called
Democracy of this county about the
peace, harmony, and fraternal feeling
that existed in their Convention, facts
are leaking out that show conclusively
that all is mot lovely" The fact that
some of their candidates-old wheel
horses in the party, and apart from
their political antecede-ts, good men
were induced to 60 before the Con-
vsntion. and were msrcilessly slaugh-
tered by the lowest knavery and po-
litical cbicanery, is fast developing a
fesling against the ticket. 1t is as
serted-snd there are good reasons
given for the charge--that few lead
ers, in Findlay, controlled and packed
the convention, and that life long
Democrats were sacrificed by fast
young politicians in their swaddling
clothes. This is not our quarrel I;
but as some of the very men who were
concerned in wire-pulling the Conven-
ton aforesaid have been very anxious
to impress the fact upon the public
mind that everything was ''lovely and
the goose hung high,'' we merely wish
to say that we know better. They
msy have, to use their own forcible, if
not elegant, way Of expressing it
"conciliated the Dutchn--but have
they not offended those whom they
can as lily afford to lose !

THE FIRSTDIVoRCE CASES IN SOUTH
CAROLINA.
The Greenville Enterprise says:

The Greenvllle Enterprise says:
Three petitions for divorce came up for hear
ing before Judge Orr on Friday last. Two OF
the applications were from the wives OF wicked
husbands, one from the husband against the
wife. The first case Was from lady, Mrs.
Mary E. Cameron, residing in Charleston, for o
divorce from her husband Robert Cameron, in
Philadelphia, from whom she was, by his cruel
ty, compelled to separate several years ago; he
having, also, since the separation, unlaWfully
married another woman in Pennsylvania, with
whom he is now living. The unlawful wife, on
application, furnished an affidavit, stating that
the husband represented hlmsef as widow
er; ard 80 she married HIM in ignorance OF the
existence Of the lawful wife Judge Orr, after
hearing the petition and evidence, readily
granted the order for divorce in this case, on
motion Of Perry & Perry, solicitors for the pc
titloper.
The other parties all reside in this county.
The applicants were represented By Messrs.
Sullivan & Stokes. Judge Orr granted the
order OF divorce in the case Of Mrs. Amanda Q.
Lenderman from the husband, Francis N. Len
derman, who, it was proved, had cruelty treat
ed her and had married or taken up with an
other woman. In the case OF the petition of
John W. Walker for divorce from his wife,
Mary J. Walker, on the allegation Of her deser-
ton some six or eight years ago, and her yio-
lent temper and abuse which oceasioned 1t,
and the hopelessness Of q reunion, the
the husband divorce, but int.mated to the
counsel that he would further consider the case.
It seems to Us that our judges ought to re-
strict the granting of divorces TO tht Que Scrip
tural justification indicated by the Judge OF all
the earth. in Matthew b: 81. Thus tar the
cases actually decided by Judge Orr appear to
come Within that rule.

the fruit prospect has also been blasted. A

place. was smashed into smitherens by the

Oo the evening of the 21st instant, Sat about
8 O'Clock, FIRE was discovered in the ginhouse
of Mrs Ann q. Crosland, in Bennettsville,
Nhich increased 30 rapidly that it was impos.
able to extingulsh the flames. The house and
ali OF the wood work about the gin were COM
pletely destroyed. The cotton screw near BY
was saved with great difficulty, being about
one. hundred Yards from the houses appurte-
nant to the dwelling. The fire extended no
further. It is believed to be the work OF an
incendiary."
The Enterprise says: "The cotton crop
seems to have been the only serious sufferer
from the cool wet weather that has prevailed
this spring, down to the present week. Cotton
has been killed by frost and died from cold
weather. Wheat, oats and corn are all doing
well enough. Thus far, the wheat crop is
more promising than it has been for several
years in the upper part OF this State, and the
prospect Of drier weather, now present, Is en-
couraging as to the final success OF this impor-
tant crop.
"On Friday night last, about twelve o'clock,
fire was discovered in the kitchen OF Mr.. John
Marley, situated on Augusta-street, three
fourths or a mile from Greenville Courthouse,
near the depot. Before the alarm could be
raised, the building was enveloped in flames.
It was situated near the dwelling house, but
the latter having q substantial tin roof, which,
combined with the e1ertIons Of the citizens
and f;emen, prevented the spreading OF the
fire further than the smoke house. which also
caught but was extinguished. The kitchen,
with its contents, was entirely consumed. The
loss sustained by MIR. Markley was between
eight hundred and a thousand dollars, un-
covered by insurance"
