RoDDERY.-A man calling himself Nc
Rae, who was stopping at the Washing
ton House, succeeded, on Sunday night
last, in fobbipg some of the boarders of
clothing, a silver watch, and valise.
The valise was marked sW. S. S., Co.
lumbia, S. c." Said McRae is described
as being sallow complicated, and inclined

his basket and pick only what he noticed
was white. In half IN hours time, the
boy returned with basket full of qchte
cotton blooms. It is said that Mr.. L..
does not agree with Mark Twain in his
opinion that cursing is in order only

rents"
We are indebted to the Hon. Eugene
Casserly for copy of his speech on the
fifteenth amendment and the labor ques-
ton. This speech was delivered in San
Francisco, Cal, July %. It is an earn
est protest against Chinese importation.
He states that from her vast swarms
China could, without feeling the loss,
throw upon our shores 100000 oi

The speaker thoroughly reviews the
whole field connected with the Chinese,
and advocates broadly and squarely the
interests of white as opposed to Chinese
labor.
