We have no space, = however, for other
specimens of this Ckyistidn fidelity to

Apostles themselves, who went throughout
the world and were foreigners everywhere.
The Christian Adpocate avoids coming to
any practical application in direct language,
of its doctrines, regarding priests. From
the chuckling with which it exults, how
ever, over the expulsion of Jesuits from
ton of two million dollars worth of Church
property DIN Mexico, we can imagine the
benevolent designs of our most Christian
neighbor. We suppose them to be some

nGONE GLIMMERING.n

Our worthy proprietor is missing this week. He
was last seen at the King Mountain Railroad de-
pot, with a carpet-bag in his hand, and from GER
tain expressions which he made, it was gathered
that he would probably be absent from his cheer
full sanctum until Saturday Should he turn UP
in the sanctum of any of our contemporaries, We
beg they will treat him politely and not, on account
of his baggage, mistake him for carpet-bagger
We can assure them he is not candidate for any
Office, nor is be engaged in soliciting contributions
Still We have reason to believe that he will have
much more baggage than lone carpet-bag, wher
he comes back. But as it is nobody elses business
how he is to accumulate so much during his ab
sence, we refrain from displaying our wisdom by
telling how it is

make it mean anything else. But when Sumner
''expains" himself, the explanation is worthless,
because we have no such assurance.
THE PRESIDENTIAL ELEPHANT.

The leaders of the Radical party are beginning
to tire of the prize elephant which they drew in
the last Presidential election. He is, although
very quiet animal, somewhat stubborn and hard to
manage. He is always ready to use his influence
and authority for the benefit Of the party; but ne
has trick of doing this in such way that his own
immediate personal adherents get all the profits,
and the followers of other Radical lights get none
For this reason, they are finding fault with Gene
raj Grant. The indications are that this petty
quarrel over the spoils will gradually rpen into an
open rupture. The ''party'' is by no means har-
monious, and it is not impossible that by next
winter Grant will find himself in similar position
to that of Mr.. Johnson that is, with majority in
Congress against him.
This trouble is no. one Of principle; for Grant is
as sound in all the articles of their political faith
as any of his now dissatisfied supporters, and as
expert in pronouncingits shbboleths 1t all arises
from the different standponts from which the BEL
igerents look upon the Presidential Office. These
prominent Radicals thought Grant was elected to
give Offices to themselves and their friends Grant,
on the contrary, differs from them so far as to
think he was elected to provide for bis own family
and friends. This task he has performed in way,
the completeness of which entities him to the
highest praise The end of his being has been ac-
complished, and there is nothing left for him to
do but to glide down the decline of life, with the
peaceful serenity of man who has done his whole
duty.
Such, doubtless, is the view taken by the great
clans of Dent and Grant But numerous as are
the scions of these noble houses, the number of
disappointed applicants and beheaded incumbents,
who have had to stand aside for the royal family,
is still greater. These all regard Grant and his
appointees with the affection of men who see their
bread and butter transferred to other mems mouths
It is not at all strange, then that there is much
grumbling at the President, in the Republican
ranks. The bond which united these fellows to
their party-viz, the hope of Office, having been
broken, they are ready at any moment to desert.
If they see any chance to better themselves pecu-
niarily by becoming Democrats, they will join that
party by brigades Indeed the most probable
hope of reviving the Democratic party lies in just
such recruits. Knowing they can't get anything
from Grant, their object will be to put in some
body else in 1872, and as there is no other Repub-
lican who can hope to defeat him, the only chance
to rally the opposition will be under the Demo
cratic banners and Democratic leader. Such
Democracy will not be worth much; but it will be
about as valuable as anything now going, in the
shane of politics.

SINGING SCHOOL.

Hearing the sound Of distant melody the other
night, we strolled out in its direction and soon
found ourselves in the Court House, where Mr.
Collins singing school was engaged in the study
of the divine art The singing was excellent, and
reflected great credit both on teacher and pupils
If there were any fault to be found with the per
formance, it might be hinted that the bass was 6
little weak, owing probably to the fact that the
gentlemen in charge of that part did not let them
selves out; for whenever Mr.. Collins reinforced
them, the bass was full enough. But this fault
is easily pardoned, inasmuch as it arises from thai
excessive modesty for which the young men and
boys Of Yorkville are so conspicuous.

INJURY TO COTTON.

The frost of last week did more damage than
was at first expected, though its effects so far as
we have heard, were confined 10 cotton. A great
deal of the cotton which had come up, was killed.
In some places, it was merely thinned out to
moderate stand but in most cases, We fear so
much was killed as to require planting again. This
is serious misfortune as seed is unusually scarce
this season. Fortunately there was comparatively
small portion of the crop up, at the time of the
frost, (the Sd instant), and what has since come
up is looking we'll. There was, however another
frost on the morning of Saturday last, which may
finish the business.
From our exchanges we learn that the same in
jury has been sustained throughout the State.
The frost and protractcd cold weather were gene
raj, and all sections report that cotton is dying out
The Augusta Chronicle says that corn, oats and
wheat have also suffered in Georgia. We see no
mention made of injury to these crops in South
Carolina butt is likely that they have not entire

WILLIAMS, PATENT CHURN.

Our townsman, Edgar p. Williams, is the pat
entee of new invention, in the shape Of q venti
lating churn, which, for the ingenuity of the de-
sign and the wonderful performance of the ma
chine, has elected much attention. 1t perform:
the difficult and laborious operation Of making
butter in from three to ten minutes, by simply
turning crank, which child can easily manage
The merit of the invention is in the arrangement
of the dash, in such way as to admit continuous
current of atmosphere through the milk as it is
stirred, which not only makes sweet, pure butter
but facilitates the churning operation.
The parties interested in the patent propose tc
sell rights for counties and States, and from oul
experience with one of the churns, we have nc
doubt but that they will be in great demand, as
soon as put in the market

THE COTTON CATERPILLAR.

A telegram received in Charleston last week,
from a gentleman in Ocala, Florida, says: II have
found genuine caterpillar in my cotton field -
The announcement excited much surprise and
regret for though the telegram mentioned but one
caterpillar it is dreaded as the precursor Of many
thousands.
1t is early for the appearance Of this pest, and if,
as feared, this solitary worm is the vidette of his
army, the long-staple cotton crop Of Florida is
doomed. For several seasons past, it has preyed
upon the cotton of the seaboard, and is its most
formidable destroyer. The Courier expresses the
hope that the weather will prove unfavorable to
the large development Of this insect In conse-
quence of its early appearance, this may be the
case, and the planters may yet have successful
crop year.
The uneasiness throughout the long-staple coun-
try is very great, to be caused by one little insect
but the experience Of years proves that this un.
easiness is reasonable and well-founded.
The Courier of Saturday, the 7th, states that the
eggs of the cotton worm have been found in abun.
dance, in St. Andrews Parish. 1t has o few Oh
