A III have succeeded in getting a patent
N granted me on the 18th day OF August,
1870, on presses forhay and cotton, l now pro-
pose to place them before the public for gen.
eral use. Ny invention is reduced down To
simplicity, strength and durability so much
that any set OF field hands can work II with
good success. L claim for my invention, over
the Utley and all other presses, this, viz; My
gripping blocks which grip the upright iron
bars as soon as the levers are applied, hold
fast and forces the follower down with great
power; as soon as the power Is taken off the
blocks VIII slide down the bar perfectly
loose, and ready for renewal of hold, which
renders IL entirely impossible to get out OF
order, a virtue which no other press has.
The lever which 1 use, is a common straight
lever applied direct to the gripping blocks;
my follower is run up by means Of windlas
and rope and is arranged to work very easy.
All WHO may wish a press, royalty, county
or State rights, will apply TO J.. r. Dowdy,

Well Done, Charleston!

The election is over, and the result OF the
contest, though still yelled from our gaze, is
at last fixed. Many days must pass before
we can hear enough from all sections OF
the State to enable US to judge, with even
approximate accuracy, Of the measure. OF
success which has crowned our campaign.
AS yet, we may not speak Of how the sturdy
yeomanry of the mountains have borne
themselves in the crisis Of the struggle, nor
yet OF the, gallant fight made By the Reform
oers OF the seaboard, north and south OF us,
against Overwhelming odds; butthls we can
say, and we say it with pride and pleasure
that, whatever the result may be, the City OF
Charleston has done her whole duty. Never
before have her people shown go deep and
SO active an interest in any election. The
day was absolutely given up by all classes to
patriotic effort. Silence reigned along the
the whar7es and in the marts OF the bay,
aud the grimy workshops Of the artisan, aud
the gay bazaars Of King street, were alike
closed. The citizens OF every age and oi
all conditions in life worked nobly from early
morn till the closing of the polls, and, II
the battle be not won, twill not have been
the fault Of this good old city.
This paper, as our readers know, has not
hesitated to sound warning when it saw
the community plunged in perilous politi'
cal torpor, and it now gladly bears testl-
mony to the fact tina. Charleston has richly
earned the "Well Done!" of the people Of
the whole State.

These are the fattering conclusions to
which the public jump, and 1t Is perAaps
useless to suggest that journalists do some
times feel what they say, and think what
they write This is strange, isn't it, AND
yet it is the truth. 1t becomes the duty OF
the journalist to defend the true and assall
the false, to- expose corruption and honor
official integrity, to protect the weak from
imposition, and defend public and private
right. And the more earnest, the more con-
scientious, and the more unselfsh the Jour-
nalist-the more enemies must he make, and
the less will be his reward. Every man who
is, of necessity, attacked by the indepen-
dent journalist becomes an unrelent!nS
enemy, and the public whom the Journalist
serves would not wag little finger to save,
him from contumely and misfortune. The
hostility of the men whose rascality Is
brought to. light is certain and enduring;
while the public, who require that this be
done, have not word Of thanks to waste
upon those whose fault is their fidelity to
the interests Of the people.
Some there are whose oil m in life it Is TO
perch upon the fence. Others run with the
hare and hold with the hounds. Both take
color from what they feed on. But for the
journalist who has opinions OF his own, and
is not afraid to express them, the road is
rough and the goal distressingly uncertain.
So be it. The journalistic 7ertium Qusd
will one day pail on the popular palate, and,
if not, there is still a blessed band who Tene-
rate the man -
whose doctrine, and whose life,
Coincideut exhibit lucid proof -,
That he is honest In the sacred eau se.
