DYSPEPSIA-THE WHOLE STORY IN
NUT-SHELL.-Thc cfce of the stomach is to
convert the food into cream-like semi fluid,

action of q solvent, o.lled the gastric Juice,
which exudes from th9coatiDg of the stomach
and partly by a mechanical movement of that
organ, which churps, ys it were. the dssolvipg

into tho duodcnunl, orcntrance to the bowels,
where it is subjected % tho action of the bile
and the nutritious portion of it converted into

MILITARY EXPEDITION INTO ArR1cA.-
The expedition with which Sir Samuel
Baker is to attempt the conquest of the
Upper Nile country, inhabited by ne
grocs unfriendly TO the whites, consists
Of 200 Arab cavalry, and 1900 Nubiau
infantry, armed with breech-loaders and
carrying fourteen mounted HowitZers,
Sir Samuel also takes three steamers. one
paddle-wheel 1870 feet long, and twenty
feet beam, ono screw eighty feet long
and seventeen feet beam, and one screw
fifty feet long and thirteen feet beam.
These vessels are of steel, and are to be
transported in pieces to the place of
launching, where they will be put to-
gether 1t is expected that this will be
about 200 miles North of the Equator,
and that, by means of the steamers, the
expedition will reach the Albert Nyanzn
Lake by Christmas.
Sir Samnel's purpose is to establish
trade, and he carries with him a supply
of English hardware and fancy goods,
such as his experience has shown him
will be adapted to sale or barter in the
interior of Africa. He will establish
stations at distances suitable for business
an3 also for the keeping up of his COM
munications with Egypt. The Viceroy
OF Egypt has mado him general-in- chief
of the expeditionary army, with power
of life and death, and the title of Go
vernor-General of the kingdoms beyond
the Egyptian frontier The expedition
is to start on 1st of July.
Sir Samuel will insist on establishing
facilities for trade, and enforcing what
ever engagements may be entered into
between himself and the African chiefs.
He will have no difficulty in compelling
compliance with his demands in all cases
where ho may find compulsion neces-
sary. He may not create civilization,
but undoubtedly he will destroy none.

,The Sec Roland Co,ton crop.

An experienced planter on Edisto
Island, South Carolina, writes letter to
the Charleston Ne,cs, in which he saws
that there is marked improvement in the
laboripg population of the Sea Islands.
Since the removal of the Freedmen's Bu-
reau, the freedman finds lie has TO RELY
upon his own exertions for support,
and he works more cheerfully, more con-
tentedly, and altogether more efficiently.
The system of labor is by contraction
two days work out of every week for
land, in place of wages and rations.
Some for three days for land and rations
in place of wages, and somo for wages
for the whole time, ut the rate of hun
dred dollars per year, and rations equal
to fifty dollars more. The latter con-
tract is in every respect the best, both
for employer and employees; but tho
freedmen much prefer the first, as it
gives them more time ut their own dis
posal, but much less money in their
pockets in the end. The fine growing
weather, with its hot and dry days, and
heavy dews Mt night, which wo have had
Tor the past month, has caused the crops
OF cotton to recover from the effects of
the cold spring, and is pushing them
rapidly forward to state of fruitfulness
and promise. Blooms are to be seen
everywhere over the fields, and fhe crops
are in good and wcll-worked condition.
About month ago there was q great
hue and cry raised about the appearance
of tue dreaded caterpillar already in our
fields. 1t has passed away, as L pre-
dicted.
If such cool and dry spring as we
have had produces the caterpillar, then
the experience of forty years is worth
nothing, nor are the Sea Island lands
worth planting in cotton. I have no
doubt that this enemy to the cotton
plant is always present when the plant
grows, but 1t requires wet and hot May
and june to produce them destructively.
Bad and improper cultivation, by which
the plants are kept back, and made to
produce young and tender branches at
time when they should be ripening to
maturity, will furnish suitable food for
this worm late in the summer; whereas
by iudicious cultivation the plants would
have been too matured to be injured by
them or to encourage their increasing in
numbers. The system of cotton plant
ing speculation which has prevailed for
the past three years has had something
to do with the regular appearance of the
caterpillar il our fields. Several hun
dreds, or even thousands, of acres are
put in cotton, little or no manurcs are
used, the cultivation bad and slovenly
the plants contending all the while with
grass and poverty, no progress toward
fruitfulness is attained until the grass
growing period is over, when the cotton
plant starts to put forth its young and
tender branches just in time to feed
these worms, always more or less present
about the first of September.

This judgment was by law vested
right, a lien, a contract. Had the State
the constitutional power to divest the
plaintiff of his rights, and invest the de-
fendant with them?
Upon the principle involved in this
case, there is difference between liens
by mortgage and Judgment. :. The form
er are specific, the latter general, but
both are vested, legal rights, emitting
the holder to a ssle of the property, or so
much thereof as will be sufficient to sat
isfy the demand.
In myjudgmeat, so much of the Act
of the General Assembly as exempts q
portion of the land levied on from sale
under execution is in conflict with the
Constitution Of the United States and
void.
It is therefore ordered that the Sheriff
proceed to sell the property levied upon
and advertised for sale in this case with.
out regard to the provisions ofthe law
in relation TO tho Homestead, passed
since the rendition Of the judgment,
and that he execute the process of the
Court, enforcing the judgment accord
ing to the remedy existing at the time
of the rendition of the judgment, and
the making of the contract between the
parties"
The case will doubtless 60 before the
Supreme Court Of the State for final
hearing. If that tribunal sustains Judge
Carpenters views, the Sheriff will be
at work again, undoing the calculations
Of many families who have relied upon
this law as their only protection from
want The people of the State are
not ready to have final opinion pro-
nounced on this question now. A year
or two more, with ordinary prosperity,
will result in the honest debtors hav-
ing compromised his old dues, and re-
lieyed himself from the fear of the Sher-
iff We hope the Supreme Court will
mot hurry to decision of this question;
and by this means give our people a
further breathing spell. Every day
is diminishing the amount of indebted
ness, under fair compromises. A year
or two more is all that is needed.

terview with Gen. Grant, in behalf Of
the Cuba revolutionists, who wished
him to urge upon the President elect

the necessity Of giving them some en-

Cuba. General Grant replied, that the
Cubans not only had his earnest sympa-

the more substantial support of official
recognition. Spain, by her unfriendly
course to US during the rebellion, had
relieved us of any obligation to consid.

UNHApp1NEss IN MARRIED LIFE
We clip the subjoined few, but highly
sensible remarks, from the columns Of a
Savannah cotemporary:
"The last number of the New York
Ledge, has an editorial article on this
point. We quote paragraph which the
unhappy can accept or reject, according
to their pleasure:
"It is almost incredible from what q
variety of circumstances marriages may
prove unhappy; but it is found, in BY
far the majority of cases, that the hus'
band is somehowor other the cause
of the evil. Domestic felicity is sell

that there has been, for some time, bad

DESPERATE AFFRAY IN
EuCEEJETn

On yesterday morning there was an
auction of bank furniture in Hamburg,
in front Of store on the corner Of Gen.
ire and Mercer streets. While the sale
was in progress, Mr.. Sharpton, with
two packs of fire crackers in bis pocket,
aided bya young man, William W. Ken.
nedy, the County Marshal, set fire to
one of the packs in the streets and then
slipped back into the crowd without be-
ing detected. The noise made by the
explosion was heard by the County Conn
missioner. j. J. Kennedy, an uncle
of the marshal, who attempted to dis
cover the authors of the disturbance,
but unsucces,fully. He having retired,
William W. Kennedy and ayoung man,
j. Henry Keys, procured more Of the
fire-erackefs, aid the former holding,
the latter set them fire. This REPETITION
of the offence again brougt out the COM
missioner, and still unable to discover
the perpetrators, in a very excited man'
ner he exclaimed aloud, that whoever
did it was Cd id rascal. Al
this remark Keyes stepped forward, and
said, "I shot the crackers, and am nc
more a Cd id rascal than you are. .
The elder Kennedy then drew apiSto
from his side, and Keyes whipped ou'

DANCING THE DEATH CoTttLtoN IN
THE A1R.-A lady by the name of Mrs.
Roach, was recently murdered In the
County of Ats:in, Texas.
She was sitting in her chamber sew
ing, when some unknown person fired
through the window, killing her instant
ly. The murder created the widest
excitement in the vicinity, aud every
effort was made to discover the perpe-
traitor. Suspicion fell upon young
man whose suit to Mrs. Roach's daugh.
ter had been rejected, and he was ar
rested. A remarkable circumstance
fixed the crime upon. In his pocket
was found a copy yofthe New Orleans Bull
letin, from which piece had been torn.
On the floor of the foom in which Mrs.
Roach was shot, piece of paper was
picked up, scorohed and discolored by
powder, which precisely fitted to the
torn place in the paper. This confirm.
alton of their suspicious induced the
neighbors to escort the young man to a
neighboring grove, where he-was soon
put to dancing the death.collion in the
air.

THE HOMESTEAD IN THE
COURTS.

Judge Carpenter, of the Charleston
Circuit, has recently had before him,
the question of the constitutionality of
the "Homestead" exemption law. The
case was that of Joseph Purcell for an
other, vs.. DR.. J. E. Whaley. Whaley
had in 1866, confessed judgment to the
plaintiff for 81 ,36S,70; and the Sheriff
recently levied the execution upon the
defendants plantation; laying off before
sale, homestead ofthe value of 81 900.
The plaintiff filed his objections to the
allotment of the homestead, and the case
was argued pro and con. Judge Carpcn-
ter, in lengthy opinion, decides that
the Homestead Law is unconstitutional
and void as to liens existing previous to
the passage of the homestead law. After
citing numerous authorities, the opinion
concludes with these points:
"The facts in this case show that
the judgment was rendered more than
a year before the passage of the Home,
stead Law; that the only real estate
owned by the defendant, is the tract OF
land containing about four hundred acres
levied on; and that at Shcrif's sale it
will not sell for more than twenty-four
hundred dollars, although its real value
for planting purposes is between four
and five thousand dollars.

specie payments is in abeyance, the pru-
dent business man is careful about con-
tracing debts payable in the distant fu'
ture, and the nation should follow the
same rule.
A PROSTATE commerce is to be re-
built and all industries encouraged
The young men of the country, those
who from their age must be its rulers
twenty-five years hence, have greater
interest in maintaining the national
honor. A moments reflection as to
what will be our commanding influence
among the nations Of the earth in their
day, if they are only true to themselves
should inspire them with national pride.
All divisions, geographical, political and
religious, can join in this common SEN
timent.
How the public debt is to be paid or
specie payments resumed is not so i'm.
portant as that policy should be a.
dopted and acquiesced in. The deter
mination to do is worth more than di-
vidcd councils upon the method of djing.
Legislation upon this subject may not
be necessary now, nor even advisable !;
but it will be when civil law is more
fully restored in all parts of the coun-
try, and trade resumes its wonted chan
nels.
1t will be my endcavor to execute all
laws in good faith, to collect all reve-
MUGS assessed, and to have them prop
erly accounted for and. economically
disbursed.
I will, to the best of my ability, ap-
point to Office only those who will carry
out this design.
In regard to foreign policy, would
deal with all nations as equitable law re-
quires individuals to deal with each 9TH
or, aud I would protect the law abiding
citizen, whether of native or foreign
birth, wherever his rights are leopard
lied or the flag of our country floats. /
would respect the rights of all nations,
demanding equal respect for our own.
If others depart from this rule in their
dealings with US, we are compelled to
follow their precedent.
The proper treatment of the original
occupants of this land, the Indian, is
one deserving Of careful study. I will
favor any course towards them which
tends tc their civilization and ultimate
citizenship.
The question of suffrage is one which
is likely to agitate the public so long as
a portion of their people is to be exclu-
ded from its privileges in any State. 1t
seems to me very desirable that this
question should be settled now, and |
entertain the hope. and express the de-
sire that it my be by the ratification of
the Fifteenth article of amendment to
the Constitution.
In conclusion, I ask patient forbear-
ancc throughout the land, and a deter
mined effort on the paft of every citizeii
to do his share towards cementing a
happy union; and I ask the prayers Of
the nation to Almighty God in behalf
of this consummation.
