EDITORIAL INKLINGS.
A Promising Young Man.
- The New York Times has had much to say
in praise of Kimpton, the financial agent of South
Carolina in New York, because he was successful
in raising loan on securities of the State. Cor
sair, in view of the comeat-abeness of funds
to pay the interest which the State owes, thinks
Kimptons financial ability is needed in Columbia
lust now, to smitc the ''rock of the national re-
sources
In our opinion, Columbia is exactly the place
where he is not wanted, by his employers at least.
They seem to value ability to raise funds more
highly than ability to pay out. Carpet-bag tinan-
Ieiering is modelled on the bank, the more you
put in the less you take out
Another Tragedy in Edgefield.
- Another murder has been committed in
Edgc6eld, the particulars of which, so far as we
can make them out from conflicting accounts, ap-
pear to be as follows On the 9th ultmo, an ar
ticle appeared in the Augusta Consttutiona7i$t
stating that Mr. j. D. Cresswell, formerly resi-
dent of Augusta, had been killed near Ninety-SK
depot by young man whose sister he had seduced
On the 4th instant, Mr.. Cresswel accompanied
by his brother Charles, went to Augusta and
published card pronouncing the story false in
every particular. On the same day the brothers
left Augusta in buggy, reached EdgeGeld in the
evening and remained over night in the village
On the 5th, Thursday, they resumed their jour-
ney, and when near the house of Dr. Parker, two
miles from the village we're fired upon by two men,
armed with double barreled shot guns The Cress-
wells saw the parties before the fring and one of
them endcavored to get out sixteen shooting
Winchester rife, which they had with them. Bu:
the assailants we're too quick for them, and both
brothers fell, Charles killed and j. D. seriously
wounded in four places. The homicdes inlmedi-
ately mounted their horses and rode to Edgefcd,
where they gave themselves up to the authorities
Their names arc Geo. B. and James Addison.
Cure for Chicken Cholera.
In the Southern Culticatm for August, We
find the following prescription for chicken Cholera
which we know to be good one. as it has been
tried here:
"Have your trough that you give your chickens
water in cleaned out good and put fresh water in
to it every morning or otener if required, and get
the roots of garlic beat them up, and put into the
trough. Put plenty of the garlic into this about
three days in each week. In the dough you feed
to your chickens, beat up garlic and mix it in and
feed to your chickens three days in the week. Be
sure and have the water, and the dough you feed
them with, strong with garlic; put plenty in. If
you have any chickens so far gone that they cant
eat, squeeze the juice out of the garlic roots and
pour it down their throats, say teaspoontull at
time, or open the chickens mouth and put piece
of the garlic root down their throats. l have
known this remedy to cure chickens and turkeys
that had the cholera so bad they could not walk.
We have tried it for two years and find it 0. K.
You must make the water you give them and
dough you feed them, strong with garlic; no half
way measures.
Cool Proposals.
Tile scientific burglars who planned and exc
cuted the robbery of the Ocean bank, have lately
opened an anonymous correspondence with the
officers of the bank, of which an exchange furnish
es the following account. The writer's, whoever
they are, disclose IN amount of unbushing impu-
dence which might have carried them to Congress,
had it only been rightly applied. Alas, how much
concealed greatness there is in our country! The
facts are as follows
"Among the securities taken by the burglars and
not vet recovered are $780, 900, in bonds of the Port
are Lake and Lake Superior Ship Canal Company.
These bonds arc secured by a lien upon 100000
acres of choice mineral lands on the upper PENN
sula of Michigan, and are in all respects first
class security, fact which the enterprlsing bur-
glars seem fully to appreciate A short time ago
the President Of the bank, MIR. D. r. Martin, re-
ceivcd communication from the present holders
of these bonds, transmitted in mysterious man
ner NJ asking what would be given for the return of
the bonds. The President returned an answer
that he would give $4,000 for them. TO this he
has received reply, couched in the most business
like terms, in which the burglars or their agents
express their surprise at the estimate the bank
puts upon these particular securities. The writer
says the discount proposed is altogether too great
for bonds so amply secured as are these and gives
the assurance that, while the holders are willing to
treat literally with the bank officials, they arc not
prepared to submit to the great sacrifice proposed.
This communication is altogether one Of the cool
est pieces Of impudencc one meets with in life
time"
State Bonds BuOyant.
The bonds of the State are not likely to rise
to that blessed condition of par on which Govern
or Scott cxpatiatcd so feelingly in his tax-paymcnt
letter. "Corsair," the Columbia correspondent of
the Charleston Ncrs, cites two instances in which
the Treasurer declined to pay past due interest on
said bonds. He says:
"a gentleman resident in New Yor.. City, who
owns taxable property in this city, sent to friend
here some State bonds, with the interest on which
