A Card from Democratic Member Of the
legislature.

To THE EDITOR OF THE REPUBLICAN
Sir see in your weekly issue of the 10Th
inst. a charge upon certain of the Democratic
members of the General Assembly as being
guilty of completely in the bribery and corrup-
ton so generally supposed to be distinguish
ing characteristic of that body. also notice
in the same paper an extract from the Morton
Star, in which the editor says he has been in
formed of the existence of a company in the
Legislature known as the "Forty Thieves" who
could be bought for S25 and upwards, accord.
ing to rank, &C., and that the said company
was headed by a Democrat from one OF the
upper counties, &c.
Not knowing upon whom SO grave charge
as this might fasten and believing that each
one should answer for himself, take this oc-
casion, so far as these charges refer to myself,
to pronounce them false without qualification,
both in letter and spirit, and to assure my fel-
low-citizcns that whilst / entertain no doubt of
the existence of corruptions and bribery in our
Legislature, my own skirts are clear.
Nor do believe any respectable member Of
the Legislature, either Democratic or Republi-
can, would, for one moment, give credence to q
charge of this kind as in any wise applying to
myself. Since my connection with the South
Carolina Legislature have endeavored to cul-
tivate patriotism, which is said to be the high
est civic virtue. l loathe and detest that spirit
which would induce one to sell his blrth-r1ght
for mess Of pottage, or sacrifice, the peoples s
good to secure his own selfish ends-thls must
certainly be the lowest civic occupation.
Respectfully, -

SLATE PENc1Ls-Twenty years ago, all the
slate pencils used were manufactured in Ger
many. She then supplied America with this
commodity In 1850, there was young man
living in West Rutland, VT, eighteen years of
age, who fortunately discovered a supply of
stone for making a first-class article of slate
pencils He began by whiting out the pen
ellis and selling them to school children. Being
better article than that for sale in the stores,
he found a ready sale for all he could whittle
out He became possessed of the idea that
there was a fortune in the business, and his
dream has been realized. This quarry of slate
pencil stone was situated in large ravine, four
miles north of Castleton, VT, near Bemoseen
Lake. The land on which it is situated was
for sale at $1O0. He purchased it, and be-
gan operations by saving out the pencils
and whiting them round. The business of
making them grew immensely on his hands,
SO that it was impossible to keep clean order
book. Machinery was invented to facilitate
the process, which has reached something like
perfection, and enormously increases the pro-
duction of pencils. At present, the quarry and
mills are owned by joint stock company.
They arc valued at $300,000. From fifty to
one hundred thousand pencils are turned out
daily, and upwards of hundred hands are
employed in the quarry and in the mill.

; From the Chester Reporter.
Hon Jas. L. Orr.

The Southern Guardian in a recent editorial
forcibly presents the claims of this distinguish
ed gentleman to the confidence and support of
the entire people of the State, We endorse
every word of it. Our confidence in the politis
cal honesty and integrity of Gov. Orrhas never
wavered We differed with him in 1868, but
we believed then that he was honest and patri=
otic in the views he held and thecourse he pur..
sued. With the light of experience reflected
back upon those dark days we see now that
craftsmanship and wisdom dictated his course.
1t is true his judgment has been sometimes at
fault For it was to his influence, more per-
haps than to any other one mans, that the
scornful rejection of the l4th amendment by
the Legislature was due. ,ss.s
And from this rejection spfahg all our recon-
struction woes, and the miserableness Of our
present condition. But still, to err is human
and despite this great blunder of his, we regard
him as our safest counsellor in these trying
times and as the ablest hands to which we can
entrust the Executive Office of the State.
The following is a part of the Guardian's
editorial -, a
Through all this past of trial and fire. the
one man, whose eye has been clear, and whose
Judgment has taken facts and not, feelings for
its data, whose prophecies of each year have
been verified by the events OF the next, and
whose COunsels have 1nVarlaDly Deen approYeo
but only in rsOspsfodnthads d.ds. that one I1an I has
time, State ready to hear him..
"In an hour like this when the State needs
her best powers, and all of them, she can i'll
afford to spare the man who has given the
clcarest proof of his peculiar ability to read
these tangled times, and of his special fitness
to avert yet greater calamity from her. She 10
in the unclean clutches of corrupt oligarchy
of adventures hostile to her true interests and
to save the State from these spoilers is the par
amount interest of all. And all her best citi-
zehs, the black no less than the white, feel this
to be the true condition of things with Us.
Governor Orr distinctly announces this, as We
showed yesterday; and, under the guidance of
such man-and there is no other such than
he himself-the emancipation of South Carolina
from its Winchester rife reginee next October
is glorious certainty"

HONOR Your BUSINESS. commend this
paragraph from the London Economist, to all
who have vocation"
"It is good sign when man sproud of his
work or his calling. Yet nothing is more COM
mon than to hear men finding fault continually
with their particular business, and deeming
themselves unfortunate because fastened to it
by the necessity of gaining a livelihood. In
this spirit men fret, and laboriously destroy all
their comfort in the work or they change their
business, and go on miserably, shifting from one
thing to another, until the grave or the poor
house gives them fast grip. But while occa-
sionally man fails in life because he is not in
the place fitted for his peculiar talent, it hap
pens ten times oftener than failure results from
neglect and even contempt of an honest busi-
ness A man should put his heart into every
thing that he does. There is not profession
that has not its peculiar cares and vexations.
No man will escape annoyance by changing
business. No mechanical business is altogether
agreeable. Commerce, in its endless varieties,
trials, unwelcome dutics and spirit-tiring ne
cessities. 1t is the very wantonness of folly for
man to search out the frets and burdens of his
calling, and give his mind every day to the con-
sideration of them. They belong to human
life. They are inevitable. Brooding over them
only gives them strength. On the other hand,
man has power given him to shed beauty and
pleasure upon the homeiest toll, if he is wise.
Let a.man adopt his business and identify it
with his life and cover it with pleasant asso-
Citations; for God has given us imaginationss,
not alone to make some poets, but to enable all
men to beautify homely things Heart-varnish
will cover up innumerable evils and defects.
Look at the good thing. Accept your lot as
man does piece of rugged ground, and begin
to get out the rocks and roots; to deepen and
mellow the soil to enrich and plant it. There
is something in the most forbiddng avocation
around which man may twine pleasant fancies,
out of which he may develop an honest pride"

A Washington correspondent of the Wor

A Washington correspondent of Che Wor-
cester Spy relates the following: Senators have
the use of handsome bathroom. Attached
to it is barber-shop. Mr.. Garrett Davis is
reported to have been a daily customer. Re
Gently he was in as usual. Passing just beyond
the door, he looked in amazement at o vision
on which his eyes rested There sat his col
league from Mississippi, Senator Revcls, evi-
IDENTIFY not long from the bathroom, and enjoy
ing the luxury of comfortable shave. Gar
rett looked on in horror, and then as he real
lied the situation, turned on his heel and
walked out. He has not been in since, and it
is reported, has moved to strike out the bath
room appropriation from the bill"

"A young married couple in Wisconsin
town lately began housekeeping, and the first
purchases of the head of the family at the
Village grocery were: Five cents worth of soda,
five cents worth of salt, two cents worth of
pepper, one cent worth CT chewing-gum and
twelve cents worth of soap. The bill amounted
to twenty-five cents, which was paid by the
young Benedict in specie, and as he left the
store he remarked to the clerk that keeping
house is cheaper than boarding"
