There was such real sympathy in

took her hand and pressed Il, at
which the lady blushed and half
withdrew It; but seeing he was
wounded she let Il remain.

held us torn and racked By
internal disssnsI0n over q base
less shadow. Then We asked who
cOmpOses the Radical party2 Ne
gFOes who have no past political
pFejudices to be appealed to and
consequently we could not hope to
attract any Of them; with these
negroes are q few cOrmorant- like
whites, having neither principle,
political or otherwise, ready to
unite with any party and any peO-
pie so they are permitted to hold
the offices and do the stealing.
Now then the Raymond Gazette
proposed to build a party out of
a party already organized, and TO
build it upon prejudices Of the
past. Suppose it sufficiently re-
wives these old prejudices as to
cause the Wings to slough off and
create again their own party, will
not the prejudices of the old Dem
ocratic party be as fully aroused ?
Instead then of bringing about
concert and amity, we will have an
unending war in our own camp.
No, we are not satisfied with the
course pursued by the Raymond
Gazette. Let it cease its useless
clamor about the reorganization
of the old Wing party and use the
same energy, talent aud industry
in arousing the people to battle
manfully under the banner of the
only organized party now pledged
to the overthrow and destruction
of the Radical party.

Last night g week there was a
grand Radical pow WOW held at the
Court House in this city. Atleast it
was intended to be grand in point Of
numbers, but, dire calamity, It was
bnt slimly attended. The seeds
soWn there, however, have taken
growth throughout the county.
As we learn, the orators Of that
occasion stated that the negroes
were not required to pay any
taxes. This declaration was en-
tirely superhuOus, since they have
never yet materially crippled them
selves by the prompt, or other,
payment Of taxes. But the teach
ings made on the occasion refer
red to have interfered materially
with the operations Of the Asses
sor. The negroes now positively
refuse to make any returns what
ever to the Assessor, and say,
when commanded so to do, that
they were instructed at this meet
ing that ell the white people only
are required to pay taxes. Now, the
law provides that a heavy fine shall
be collected from every person re.
fusing to make a return; we de-
sire, therefore, that the Assessor
make q full and complete return Of
the names Of all who refuse TO
comply with the law ; and If the
Radical officials fail or refuse to
enforce the law because it operates
solely against negroes, we will
maketheir several positions too hot
to hold them.
Mr.. Patterson, who is assessing
on the South side Of the Vicksburg
and Meridian Railroad, between
this city and Warrenton, says that
the negroes have positively refused
10 make any returns to him, and
that they justify their action by
the instruction given last night a
week ago from the Court House.

BARNEY's HERo.-Barney Hughes,
who commanded a battery on the
Confederate side-we believe gen
orally at the headquarters Of the
army of Tennessee-is now editor.
in-chief of the Memphis Railway
Record. He seRds us a copy OF
his last issue, with the following
paragraph marked, for our special
attention:
"a friend of ours (whom We
shall call Sam, for the sake of poe.
try), had q remarkable weakness
for relating a thrilling war expe.
rience. He paralyzed q small au.
dience, last Sunday, by his exploits
and associations at the battle Of
Seven Pines. The enemy we're re.
treating in considerable confusion,
the Confederates too exhausted to
follow; but Sam, who had stood il
the heat Of battle all the time, with
that military sagacity which char.
acterized his whole career, sought
a mound, overlooking the retiring
foe, and poured forth his impreca.
tons and bullets furiously.-
Az fast as one musket would
become too heated for service, he
would snatch up another. BY the
time he had reached his tenth mus.
ket General Robert E. Lee rode
up and ordered the Major to cease
firing. Sam turned round, and.
with patriotic determination, said
General, it is criminal to disobey
you, but my friend Joe Johnston
has been wounded, and my heart
is black with vindictiveness. Don't
ask me to forget my friend" Gen.
Lee, somewhat softened by this
tender appeal, replied: "Major
remember we must not crush hui,
mainly in this war. You have
already numbered your dead by
hundreds, and l command you Il
desist from this slaughter" The
Major said : General, you force
mutiny on me. l can only die
happy in blood" The general dis.
mounted, walked up to the brave
soldier, threw his arms around his
neck, and cried "Sam, never call
me General; always call me Bob

The problem of a successful
system Of woman's wages seem to
be satisfactorily solving itself in
the far West, and particularly in
.Corinne, Utah. Sewing women in
that town receive an average OF
50 or SO so per day, and often,
when work is plenty, as much
as IS a day is earned. For
making o fine shirt % is paid,
when everything is furnished il
the maker furnishes thread a pro
portionately higher price is de
manded. The Reporter of that
place claims that the poor seam
stress Of the garnet is unknown in
that favored locality. The condition
of the laundress is, however, not so
good, although the prices obtained
for washing contrast favorably
with those ruling in the East.
"By the piece" laundresses aver
age 81 rs per dozen; when by the
single piece 25c. is charged for a
fine shirt, and l5c. for other arti-
cles. Servant girls in private
families, clearinghouse, and no
tells, receive from 80 to 81 per
week, with board.

The colored man is free, but he has

the secret power Of the party that rules
him, to go to the ballot-box aud vote as

so plainly apparent that We cannot urge
the necessity of supplying of it with too
much Importance. In each of these
offices there are private and public docu-
ments, and records of vast consequence,
and yet those who are 50 much interest
nd in their security and preservation
from from FIRE, mus. if it comes, sec
them swept away, perhaps, in minutes
time.
There are, for instance, iu the office Of
County Auditor, the books containing
the recent assessments of the personal
property of this County, the tax on
which has not yet been collected. Now
these alone, if destroyed, would cost the
County over two thousand dollars, (for u
re-assessment would necessarily follow, }
more thun would purchase ssfes for each
of the Offices. ''+a b.
Aud this is only one item. There are
in the Office Of Probate Judge bonds to
the amount Of two hundred thousand
dollars, i'll whose fate many are vitality
interested. yet ,hcy have no guarantee of
their non destruction.
But as a more potent argument in
| favor of what VIC urge, We have ONLY to
cite your lIonor's attention to the losses
which Beaufort County recently sus-
tanned in the dcstructieD Of her Court
House by fire. There were no safes there
and the public archieves, documents and
records were all destroyed.
We would therefore, urgently recon-
mend that safes be furnished to all tlc
public officers in whose contents the pub
lie are go much Interested, aud private
citizens have SO much ut stake.
We would also call your Henor's at
tention to the fact shat when Jurors are
summoned here to serve the State. ut
great expcnsc to themselves, 'twould be
but right, when paid off i'll Jury Tickets,
to have some arrangements made to have

There are many, known have Jury
Tickets, given to them for two Sessions

them cashcd yet Even the merchants
will not take them at SO per ccut dis
count. And in the mind of the Grand
Jury, some screw must entirely be loose,
or turning in the wrong direction,
And i'll conclusion we would say that
there are four persons at the Poor House,
living upon the public, who arc able to
support themselves if discharged there.

State of South Carolina,
ORANGEpuRG COUNTY.

oBANGEBtRG COUNTY.
To The Hon. R. B. Carpenter, Presiding
Judge, First Circuit:
The Grand Inquest for said County
of the January Term, 1870, beg leave to
submit to your IIouor's consideration the
following prcscntmcnt:
We have visited all the public Offices
anC buildings within said county and
upon careful examination thereof arc
prepared 10 report to your Honor that
their respective conditions reflects much
credit Upon their occupants.
The Jail we find to be a substantial
structure competcntly calculated to sup
ply the purposes for which it was erect
cd; SIR Lucas will complete it in few
weeks, which, when done. our county, MS
was said in the present Immediately pre-
cecding this one, eau boast Of having
place not only secure for the safe custody
of prisoners, but also for it's beauty, Gu
paciousness aud durability
The various apartments of the Jail
are kept in cleanly aud healthful con-
dition. Some of the prisoners complain
of not being furnished with sufficient to
cat, but the Grand Jury respectfully sub
mits that they are unable to say whether
this complaint is made by the inmates sim
ply because they arc prisoners, aud hence
not satisfied with anything connected
with their condition, or whether it pro-
cceds from want actually experienced.
We have carefully and ninutely in
vestigatcd, as directed By your Honor,
the alleged carelcssncss on the part of
the Sheriff and Jail-keeper said to have
resulted in the escape of some of the
prisoners from the Jail, and we find tint
said escapes did not result in consequence
of dircliction Of duty, either on the
part of the Sheriff or Jailer, but hap
pcncd thus: 1t appears that the lower
doors Of the Jail were rot finished at the
time, and the keeper could not, as he does
now, secure them behind him on going
up to give the inmates their food; and
this they appeared to have known, as
.hcir actions show for i; w@s while the
Jailor was in the act of introducing
their food through the door, that they
jumped upon him and choked him
down, thence making their exit, there
being no obstruction below, as above
stated, to prevent egress after their sell
doors had been opened. But this can
occur no more, as the doors below and
above have been completed and are
strong and secure. And the Grand jury
are of the opinion that 'tis inpracticable
for persons hereafter to escape from the
Jail, if its Keeper judiciously observes
his duty
The Poor House we find in proper
condition the paupers are we'll fed aud
taken care of otherwise
