You are 10 reply, and not to repeat the

"Nothing can be more simple, sir, than
the question / put. | again repeat it:
Upon what authority do you swear to

responded he, gruflly. "Then why such
evasion? Why not state it at once?'
"Well, then, if you must have it"

Very respectfully,
NJ. C. BUTLER.


SOUND SENsE.-Thc Chcraw Democrat
takes sensible and patriotic view Of the
political situation. 1t says:
at time like this, when the only
question is, shall honest men or thieves
be put in office, we cannot doubt as to
ou- duty Of supporting those whom We
consider honest, whether they be Re-
publicans or Democrats. To oppose Car
penter and Butler would be throwing
whatever influence we might possess in
to the scales in favor Of that party which
has already pcrpctrated such lasting in
jury upon the prosperity of the people,
and, in the last two years, increased the
debt of the State from s6,000,0O0 to
nearly Sl5,000,000. It is very probable
that another term of the Scott Ring in
Office will increase the debt of the State
in equal ratio, and bring such a burden
oftaxation that every branch Of indus
try will be utterly ruined. In support
ing the Union Reform nominees, we
abandon no principle We but turn aside
for a moment to strike one blow for the
redemption of the State, and TO save her
people from further humiliation and
deeper ruin"

We Must Succeed

At the last general election in this
State the radicals carried it by about
II, 900 majority. This vote was COM
posed almost entirely Of the colcred pco-
Dlc of the State, which excess has been
! materially reduced by the following
cause.-the deaths and departures have
been largely in excess Of the colored
people over the whItes-TariouSIy estl-
mated in different parts Of the State, but
averaging about three to one. From all
accounts the increase If the whites is al
lowed to be in excess Of the blacks. no
person who is acquainted with the his
tory of the political contest of rs, will
doubt for one moment that a large num-
Der Of the whites failed to feel any in
tercst in the issue, and consequently
neglected to vote.
Again, large numbers Of those who
were then disfranchized have since, by
the several acts Of Congress, been rein
stated in their political rights. From all
these causes, we think it fair to presume
the majority above stated has been Tc-
duccd at least one half This leaves US
majority Of, say, 1000 to overcome at
this next election. But can we rot say,
with good reason, that the impotent and
villainous government of the State du'
ring the past two years, by the Scott
ring, and the universal good feeling which
has existed during the most Of that time
between the natiTe whites and blacks
has tended to destroy the animosities
and heal the breaches which have here
toforc divided the races on political
questions.
Further, the straightforward and manly
adoption by the Reform Party Of the car
dinal principles Of the Republican party, as
set forth iu the l4:h and 18th amendments
to the national constitution, has destroyed
the political significance ofthe ean7ass, and
based the issue Of to-day upon right against
wrong-honesty against 7cnality and cor
rup,ioa-and truth against falsehood. This
enables US to approach honestly and fear
lcssly the colored men Of our State, and
appeal to them to aii US in purifying the
government Of our commonwealth, and
Riding US Of tie vile incubus Of foreign
who have done so much to
distract and ruin our common heritage
With these facts in view, We maintain that
it requires only the earnest cooperation
of every honest citizen to secure for US,
not only the reduction of the majority
against US at the last election, but the re-
suit Of majority in our favor of nearly
ten thousand.

Carpenter is above SANDER! lie is endorsed
by the purity, integrity ard patriotism OF
the State!
There was present at the meeting fully
two thousand persons, large majority
Of whom were colored. Harmony pre-
vailed through this entire mass Until nea7
the close Of Judge Carpenters speech,
when slight disturbance occurred on
the outskirts Of the crowd, which amount
ed to nothing. After the conclusion CT
Judge C's. speech it was announced from
the stand that meeting would DO held
at the Female Academy for the purpose
of completing the organization Of the
Newbcrry Township Union Reform Sc
cicty, after which the immense assembly
rapidly dispersed and tho quiet shades Of
classic halcyon groso once moro assumed
its wontcd quiet.
4 large proportion Of the people pro-
ceeded to town and gathered in little
knots at the corners Of the streets to dis
cuss the merits OF tho speeches, which
unfortunately gave rise to dispute be-
tween two colored men, which was hap
PLY quelled without anything more Sc
rious than hard words, although at one
time it assumed rather serious as
pcct. After which many Of the visit
ors dispersed to their homes, and quiet
rcigned supreme over our delightful
town. Thus may it ever be!
Gu: observation leads US to the con-
clusion that most, if not all, Of the dis
turbances on such occasions arise from
the giddy thoush.lessness Of the boys
of both races, and We do hope that
hereafter they will restrain their juvcn-
lie e1uberance.

Reform Club Meeting.

AgreeaGly to notice meeting Of the
citizens Of Ncwoerry was held in this
town on Saturday last, Col. R. Moor
man called to the chair, and Mr. 0.
Schumpert appointed Secretary. After
the transaction of the necessary prelimi-
nary business, the meeting adjourned 10
meet on Monday afternoon following, at
which time having again assembled, a
constitution was adopted, Newberry
township divided into four divisions, and
permanent president and four vice
presidents, two secretaries and one treas
urer elected. The officers chosen arc as
follows: Mr.. ThoS. Moorman, President,
Mr. W. 7. Tarrant, vice president Of first
division, Dr.. S. F. FAINT, for second divi-
sion, DR.. Mcintosh, for third, and Mr..
w. J. Lake, for fourth Mr.. A. J. Nc
Caughrin and Mr.. 0. Schum2ert, ,Sccreta-
RIGS and Mr. John Hair, Treasurer. The Sc
lection Of these officers We think most
admirable one. The l.icutenants, or nc
should hare said vice presidents, have
the authority to appoint three subordi-
mates each, to act with them in carrying
out the articles Of the constitution.
On next Saturday the club will meet
again, at which time it is expected that
every citizen identified with the good
cause of Reform will be present.
The formation Of this club, its prompt
and decisive action, is selection Of new
men, free from the objection Of former
political Gins, shows now that we are
moving ii: the right direction, and if the
whole district will act in accord, which
no one can doubt will be the case, victo-
rv will and mast perch on our banners.
A full account of tie proceedings with
tho Constitution, and the lines of divi-
sion, not yet furnished US by the Secre
tary, will be published next week.

Erui. Jars and Jelly CUPS.

The manufacture of Jars for prcserv,
ing fruits and vegetables has reached to
great perfection, yet many of the patents
have faults more or less Objectionable.
We have seen a specimen called the
"Pet" which seems to meet all require
ments, and we call attention to some Of
its advantages: it is all glass, the cover
forms Joint on bcvelled smooth top,
on the wedge principle, but not so much
as to make it difficult TO open, as any
child six years old can close or open this
Jar. The fastening is coil Of brass
wire, with its whole pressure in the CEN
tre Of cover and it possesses this impor'
tant advantage that it can be sealed up
while cold, cooked under water, and all
the freshness and fragrance of the fruit
retained, and when removed is immedi-
ately sclf.scalcd. In this connection we
take pleasure in calling attention to a
new and beautiful Jelly Cup which need
only be seen to be admired and desired
By house keepers. The cup holds s
ou"ccs, is made Of clear glass, has a
handsome figure in its bottom, and has a
strong, stiff cover, impcrvious to damp
ness or air, and which will last for years.
We would like to say moro of these ar.
ticlcs and many others, which We find
manufactured by Mr.. A. J. Weidencr,
IS South Second Street, and 20 Straw
berry St., Philadelphia, but our space
will not admit. We take pleasure in
stead, Of referring dealers to the manu-
facturer himself, who will furnish cata.
loSucs Ct articles and prices, and ad-
wise housc-kccpers to urge their getting
supply.

The Walhalla Courier says: "Thc speeches
"of Carpenter and Butler, delivered in Wal
"hala on the 2sth ultimo, had salutary ef.
eject in smoothing down the Prciudices OF
"cur people to the Reform movement. They
"begin to realize there are but two parties
represented in the State by candidates, and
"they must choose between them. It is not
"dificuIt to perceive on which side the homes;
"and inteligen.voters will cast their political
"views and personal preferences, their good
sense points to Carpenter and Butler, as men

THE SOUTHERN NEGROES DYING Orr.-
The Griffin (Ga.) Star says: the colored
population all through this section are
dying off at an alarming rate; not, how
ever, with any contagion or epidemic, but
solely in consequence Of voluntary ex.
posure, Incorporate hours, consequent
sickness, and then, for the want of the
attention they received while they were
slaves, die for want Of medicine and pro.
per attention. Who is guilty for this
sad state Of affairs? Are the colored
Dcople able to answer?

How TIE CHINESE Cook R!CE.-From
the American Grocer, whose editor in
tcrviewcd the Chinese colony at North
Adams, we learn the following method
cooking rice, which may be Of benefit
to some of our lady readers:
The process Of boiling one pound Of
rice is as follows: Take q clean stew
pan, with close.ftting top, then take a
clean piece Of white muslin, large enough
to cover over the top of the pan, and
hang down inside nearly to, but not in
contact with the bottom. Into the sack
so formed place the rice, ponr over it
two cupfuls of water, and put on the
top Of the stew pan, so as to hold up the
muslin bag inside, ard fit tight all
round. Place the pan on slow fire,
and the steam generated from the water
will cook the rice. Each grain, it is sta
ted, will come out Of the boiler as dry
and distinct as if just taken from the
hull. More water may be poured into
pan if necessary, but only sufficient to
keep up the steam till the rice is cooked.
The pan must not be heated so hot as to
cause the steam to blow off the lid.
