TRICKS OF THE RING.-The Scott-Moses
tactics are as various, if not as amusing, as the
antics of a monkey. As each rising sun flash
cs upon them fresh evidences OF their coming
defeat, they twist into some new contortlon,
and put forth an extra trick. One OF these
appears in the form of nice suggestion on the
part of the Scott skirmishers, that good tick
ct would be Scott for Governor and Butler ior
Lieutenant Governor 49,
This is only another dodge, to split up and
divide the honest men, and tho CONSERVATIVE
men. and the true men of the country. and
while the Radical Scottites vote solid, to have
the Reform clement vote so many different
ways that half the anti-Radcal strength will
be lost in the election. Beware of these tricks
of the encmE, (under whatever guise he may
appcar,) and let the friends of better State
government stand firmly together, and whether
they like the men or not, as men, let them
vote the solid ticket, as was done in the
Old North State, and a similar victory will be
ours.
Even if some men are on the Reform ticket
who NAV not be unobiectionable, yet there are
others who will be with them who arc true as
steel and who will sec that the State shall sui
Cnr M detrimcut. Let there be no split tickets
IN our side of the house. Is it not a rich idea
that General Butler would be willing to play
T,ientcnant Governor to DIR. Scotia man
whom he has everywhere denounced as unit
for a gcntlemans society, and richly entitled
to close acquaintance with prison discipline

The DESIRED DIsTURDANCE.-It seems to
us impossible to deny that there are members
of the present Radical party in this State, who
desire just so much collision and bloodshed as
will rouse the malice and prejudice of the
blacks against the whites so as to keep their
vote united for party purposes. 1t is quite
possible the diabolical plan will succeed. 1t,
nevertheless, works two ways, like two-edged
sword 1t will keep the black vote united, to
be sure, but it will lessen greatly, because many
blacks will keep away from the polls, in which
case, the whites have but to do their duty of
polling full vote, and good bye to Scott,
Whittemore, Neagle & Co.
The excitement in Newberry has another
lesson for us, too. See how suddenly a serious
collision may be precipitated upon US Is it
not ordinary common sense to be ready for it,
and by the show of the necessary determina-
ton and force, to maintain the peace: The
winchester Rifle has been lauded as the best
law for this State by high official authority.
Let us have enough of the good thing, then,
by all means. The Winchester Rifles that have
quietly found their way into every county OF
the State, since the black militia have been
parading, are the peace-makers, doubtless, to
which Governor Scott referred. Winns6oro

A sourH CAROLINA SENATOR IN TROUBLE

A SOUTH CAROLINA SENATOR IN TROUBLE.
Most of our readers have, no doubt, seen the
fine team which Arnim, the carpet-bag Senator
from the Edgeficld District, is in the habit of
driving when he comes to Augusta. On yes
terday, it appears, that the Legislator and his
horse cot into trouble while on the rebelliouss
soil of Georgia. 1t seems that the horse and
buggy we're standing in front of the Globe
Hotel in charge of negro, when the Deputy
City Sheriff, Mr. Levy, approached the owner,
who stood on the pavement few feet from his
property The officer informed the honorable
CARPET Dagger that party in this city, to whom
he owed money, had sued out an attachment
against his horse, and that either the money or
the animal must come Immediately. Arnim
parleyed for few minutes, and while doing So,
gave his negro boy signal to drive back to
Hamburg. The driver obeyed, and the horses
head being turned up Jackson street, drove
rapidly to Ellis street and then went down that
street, making for the Savannah River AS
soon as the Sheriff saw the move, however, ne
ran down Broad street at full speed, and head
ed the horse on Centre street, short distance
from the bridge The officer at once took pos
session and the Senator was forced to pay up.

FLUCTUATIONS OF CoTToN.-We are indebt-
ed to Mcssrs. Parker, Ward & Co, of Memphis,
for copy of chart issued by them, showing
the fluctuations in cotton prices, in that mar
ket, between September Of last year and the
current month The changes are not only
most remarkable, but also singularly erratic,
and furnish complete explanation of the loss
es sustained by the planters who held on to
their cotton in the hope of getting better
price; of the factors who made large advances
upon that staple, and of the buyers who spec,
u1ated in it. The chart shows that on the Ind
of September, 1S69-that is to say, Just about q
year ago--the market price OF COTTON was
thirty. three cents pound. On that day oe.
the close of the same month, the price had
fallen to twenty-four and quarter cents. Du-
rinr the month of October the price remained
steady. But, on the 11th of November, it stood
twontv. three cents-a decline of ten cents in
siytv days. At this point a slight reaction set
in and. by the close of January, the price had
risen to twenty-four and a half cents-being q
quarter of a cent higher than at the close of
October. With the opening of February COM
menced q steady and continuous decline, until,
on the 10th of March, the price had fallen to
nineteen and half cents. A week later it was
back to twenty-five cents, and stood at that Tor
a single week declined the following week to
twenty-one and half, but rose again, week
later, to twenty-five cents. After another Sc
ries Of fluctuations varying from quarter of
a cent to a cent-the price on the ID of June
was within quarter OF a cent of that of the
S1st of March, viz: twenty-one and half
cents. Then commenced still another period
of steady, and, with the exception Of one week,
continuous decline, until, on the 2lst of July,
the price had gone down to seventeen and
half cents. 1t rose week later to nineteen
cents, and dropped off again, on the Slst of
August, to eighteen and half cents.-Chdrles'

PICTURES OF THE BArrLE-F1ELD.-Mr

PICTURES OF THE BATTLE-FIELD.-Mr
RUSSELL in his letters to the London Times de-
scriptive of the battlefield of Sedan, says:
The troopers, brilliantly led, went right on
ward in a cloud of dust, but when they were
within couple of hundred yards of the Prus-
slams one simultaneous volley burst out of the
black front and flank, which enveloped all in
smoke. They were steady soldiers who pulled
the trigger there. Down came horse and man;
the array was utterly ruined. There was left
in front of that deadly infantry but heap of
white and gray horses-a terrace OF dead and
dying dismounted men, and flying troopers,
who tumbled at every instant. More total dis
sipation of bright pageantry could not be !!
There was another such scene yet to come.
could scarce keep the ield-glass to my eyes as
the second and last body of cavalry-which
was composed of light horse also-came thun-
dering up out of the hollow. They were not
so bold as the men on the white horses, who
fell, many of them, at the very line of bayo-
nets. The horses of these swerved as they
came upon the ground covered with carcasses,
and their line was broken, but the squadron
leaders rode straight to death.
will not dwell on the topic, but ask your
readers to be content with the assurance that
no human eye ever rested on such revolving
objects as were presented by the battlefield
around Sedan. Let them fancy masses of COL
ored rags glued together with blood and brains,
and pinned into strange shapes by fragments of
bones. Let them conceive mems bodies, heaps
of human entrails attached to red and blue
cloth, and disembowelled corpses in uniform !;
bodies lying about in al, attitudes, with skulls
shattered, faces blown off, hips smashed, bones,
flesh, and gay clothing all pounded together as
if brayed in a mortar, extending for miles, not
very thick in any one place, but recurring per-
petually for weary hours, and then they can
not, with the most vivid imagination, come up
to the sickening reality of that butchery. No
nightmare could be so frightful. Several times
| came on spots where there were two horses
lying dead together in harness killed by the
same fragment. Several times | saw four, five,
and six men, four, five, and six horses, all
killed by the explos ion of one projectile, and
in one place there lay no less than eight French
soldiers, who must have been struck down by
the bursting of shell over company, for
they lay all round in circle, with their feet
inwards, each shattered in the head or chest by
piece of shell, and no other dead benig with
in hundred yards of them.

REuAnKAR1E ESCAPE OF A BURGLAR.

REMARKABLE ESCAPE OF A BURGLAR
Chicago is nothing if not sensational. The as
piring genius of its citizens quails at no posi-
bilities, however critical, and is daunted by no
danger, however imminent. 1t has been re-
served for Chicago, furthermore, to illustrate
how thoroughly the father of evil may be de-
pended upon to take care of his own. One
Farrell, burglar by occupation and an adven-
turous fellow in disposition, found himself in
pursuit of his avocation, in the third story of
the residence of a gentleman of Chicago. Dis
covered in the act of "sloshing around" by an
inmate of the house, he took refuge in a closet.
Hard pressed by the inmate, he leaped from
the closet window to the ground below, a dis
tance of fifty feet. But remarkable as was the
desperation that prompted this fearful leap, the
result was still more extraordinary. For when
the astonished inmate of the house looked from
the window expecting to see the mangled re-
mains of the burglar he saw merely pair of
II brogans to which was attached pair of
legs, the brogans turned sole upward and the
legs working convulsively. Even while thus
gaping in astonishment at the sight that met
his eye, the working legs succeeded in working
the rest of the body loose from the aperture
into which it was concealed, viz, the cellar
door. When that feat was successfully accom-
plished, and the brogans commenced to scud
away down an alley, the inmate of the house
recovered from his astonishmcnt and gave the
alarm. Farrell was arrested, and on cxamina-
ton it was found that in falling from the win
dow he had struck his head against the cellar
door, and had burst hole in the stout inch
planks large enough to admit his shoulders.

A PHANTOM SToRY.-Another of those in
explicable mysteries which so far have dehed
the ingenuity of man to solve has just come to
light in the former county seat OF Crawford
county, Fredonia.
For about ten years past lady residing in
the place mentioned above has had for a COM
panion a spirit child five or six years old,
which attends her wherever she goes, and has
been seen by nearly every resident of Fredonia
at one time or another following close in the
wake of the lady in question. 1t has become a
common expression when the little form is seen
following the one whom she seems destined to
guard through life that "There goes BIS little
girl" The lady who is constantly followed by
this little phantom, has become accustomed to
its presence and exhibits no alarm or uneasi-
ness when it is observed near her. Frequently
attempts have been made to capture the mys-
terious little visitor, but when the hands would
seem to be about coming in contact with the
form, it would suddenly melt away and become
invisible.
ONLY once has it been seen in any other place
than following the lady alluded to, and that
was short time after the close of the war. A
gentleman had Just returned home from the ar
nv. and with his wife and child were occupy
ing a room in the house Of the haunted lady.
They had retired and lighted q lamp, and he was
in conversation with his wife, when he heard
the pit-a-pat of child's feet on the floor near
the bed Looking in the direction of the sound
he observed little girl walking towards the
stairway. Naturally supposing it was his own
child that had got out of bed some way, he
sprang up and followed the form down the stairs,
at the same time calling it to return.
His wife, noticing his movements, asked him
what he was doing. He replied that their child
was out of bed and going down stairs, and he
was trying to catch it and bring it back: The
wife responded that the child was still in bed,
which the husband found true on returning to
the bed He told his wife that he certainly
saw child going down the steps: She replied
that it must have been BIS little girl, and
then told him the circumstances concerning
the mysterious visitor. A bright light was
burning in the room at the time, and as both
husband and wife were awake and talking when
the child made its appearance, there is no doubt
but that the gentleman saw the apparition, at
least he is willing to make oath to this effect

Rooms OF THE
REPUBLICAN STATE EX. COMMITTEE,
Charleston, September %, 1870. -
Major e. W. Seibels, Secretary and Treasurer
Union Reform Party, Columbia, S. c.:
SIR-Captain F. W. Dawson and others of
the "Union Reform Party" have spoken to me
on the subject of the ensuing election in this
State, setting forth their desire 10 have joint
committees appointed for each polling precinct
throughout the State, say two from each party,
whose duty it will be to see fair play is had at
the polls and in the canvassing of the votes, to
which I heartily agree. Mr.. Cardozo, Mr..
Mackey and Mr.. Nash, of the Republican Ex-
ecutive Committee, to whom have spoken,
concur.
Of course it will be matter for the decision
of the County Canvassers, as to whether or not
these committees will be, as such, permitted to
witness inquisitorially the canvassing of the
votes. In my judgment the plan ought to re-.
commend itself to both parties. In any case
shall do what can in this and every other
way legitimately to secure fair election.
Though a candidate myself 1 should spurn
from me the thought of occupying an office
that has been secured by fraud or violence.
do not think that the "Reform" party need
fear, whether this plan is adopted or not, that
the Republican party intend to elect its candi-
dates by any other than fair and legitimate
means
An early reply will much oblige

Hon. A. j. Ransier, Chairman Republican State
Executive Committee.
SIR-On behalf of the Executive Committee
of the Union Reform" party, l take pleasure
in acknowledging the communication of the
22d inst, addressed to Major E. ". Seibels, the
Secretary of the Committee, communicating
the assent of the Executive Committee of the
Republican party, to the appointment of
Joint Committee of two persons from each par
ty at each polling precinct in the State, "to see
that fair play is had at the polls and in the
canvassing of the votes" at the ensuing cleo
tion.
Though, as you suggest the proposed ar
rangement might not be acceded to by the
Managers and Commissioners, yet the plan is
so Just, and so admirably calculated to allay
the apprehensions of the people, already SO
greatly excited, and to satisfy all of the fair
ness,of the election, that it is scarcely to be ex-
pected that any will refuse their accord with
the very commendable views contained in your
letter.
In the present temper of the people, it is not
only necessary that the elections should be
fairly conducted, but that all should know that
they had been SO conducted.
We therefore willingly agree to your propo-
stion, and will take the proper measures to
carry it into operation on our part

those of 1869 over thirty millions of dollars?
Ask them how it happens that the internal
taxes collected in 1869 amounted to
SI59.l24,l26, while those of 1870 will
exceed one hundred and eighty.tour millions
Of dollars ? Ask them how it is that the
people from 1861 to 1865, during the entire
period of the war, paid only seren hundred
aud ninety tU0 millions Of dollars in taxes,
while in the five years since the war closed
they have been called upon to pay two

millions These are facts shown by. the
