We are glad to see our Republican
administration already at work in our
County affairs. The Auditor has quiet
ly limited that settlement is necessary
with few of the office-holdes who
have the honor to belong to the Demo
cratic party and have been living of
the County for some years. Our admi-
rable Master Commissioner Conetop
Charlesworth having neglected the
trivial duty of paying his rent for the
use of one of the public offices for the
last three years, has very suddenly
come to the conclusion that he has been
keeping in his pocket some two or
three hundred dollars belonging to the
County about as long as is consistent
with his nice sense of honesty. We,
however, think that his nice sense Of
honesty was very much quickened by
a hint from a Republican officer. Why
has the County been deprived of its
just dues so long? Was there league
DCtWCCtI bllC dLlQ tll10
Democratic tool, or has the latter been
taking advantage of the formers Glenn
ency? We also learn that the Sheriff
innocently presented bill for board
ing prisoners at an illegal rate per day,
and we presume was much surprised to
find it was refused. We feel sorry for
these good fellows that they should
have their wishes thwarted so late in
life. But what shall we say of our.
Clerk of the Court, who finds himself
subjected to a like hint 10 pay over a.
thousand or twelve hundred dollars Of
costs, as required by law. We have
no doubt that he has exacted his whole
fees in cases decided in Court, and we
think it highly proper that monies be
longing to the County should have a
elsewhere than in Mr.. Camp
bells pocket. What do taxpayers
think? We would also call attention
to the collection of Jury fees from such
officers as may have neglected to pay
them over.

Genius and Common Sense.

Genius and common sense are best
together. Genius alone runs much to
rashness, and common sense by itself
not seldom hides behind caution.
Consequently genius frequently is out
at elbows, and common sense just as
often remains only comfortable when
it might get rich. Genius invents a
thing and constructs an expensive mod
el, and secures q patent before ever
making working, drawing or fully
deciding upon the proper arrangement
of the parts. Common sense shivers
before the expense of model, machine,
and patent, and lets well-enough alone,
until go-aheadativeness grabs the
idea, walks off with it, and leaves COM
mon sense out in the cold, neither
poorer nor richer than he was before.
This is metaphorical way of starting
solid truth. There is probably not
township in the country in which
two inventors might not be found, one
a genius daring every thing and losing
all, the other priding himself on his
common-sense, running ne risks and
making nothing,

French Railway Travelling.

We might copy with advantage
many of the customs in vogue on
French railways, especially that one
in regard to meals. Instead of the
hurried exit from the cars, to grab and
swollow half masticated lot of indi-
gestible food, and finish the hasty bite
in the cars, we might initiate the
French plan with much advantage to
our comfort as we'll as health. Just
before the usual time for meals, an
agent goes through the cars, takes your
orders, telegraphs them ahead, and on
reaching the station, what you have
asked for is handed in, to be consumed
at your leisure on the journey; or, de-
ascending into the refreshment-rooms,
you find small baskets upon the "buf-
tet," containing, with such refresh
ments as are most called for, knife
and fork, napkin, plate and glass. On
each basket is label stating the con-
tents and price. The passenger buys
the basket, takes iG into his carriage,
dimes or lunches at his leisure, and at
the next station at whic. the train
stops hands back the basket, etc., to
waiter, who receives for it a fixed price,
which is also set down on the label.
This system has just been begun in
England on the Midland express. The
correspondent Of London paper on a
recent journey says that at one of the
stopping-places he obtained neat
basket, containing half a fowl, salad,
bread, butter, cheese, pint of stout Cor
claret-optional,) napkin, plate, knife,
and fork, and corkscrew-all compact
ly arranged, the eatables excellent.
No deposit was asked-merely civil
request to hand the basket out at the
next station; so, instead of rushing
frantically about and insanely swal-
lowing the traditional sandwich, he
quietly spread and impromptu table,
and lunched as comfortably as could
be desired. Which of our railroads
will be the first to introduce this sensi-
BILE custom?

A Good Story.

Olive Logan told story, in her lec-
ture on "Nice Young Men," at Fred
erick, Nd, the other night,t this effect:
"At Middletown, Del, where l spent
Sunday, some friends gave me some
pretty plants to take home, ard some
rich dirt from their garden to keep
them in. l have carried these plants
and this dirt about with me for a week,
l am so determined to take them home
myself At Hagerstown, yesterday,
Mrs. Dorsey Herbet asked me why |
carried that dirt about, and | replied
that we had no dirt in New York rich
enough for these plants. "Why,"
said Mrs. Herbert-a lifelong Demo-
crat by the way-"You've got Tam

Marriaae--W Is It2

The great Apostle to the Gentiles
enjoins his son Timothy to
"Hold fast the form Of sound words"
For words are things. Give sophist
liberty to affix to them such meanings
as suit his purpose, and he will reason
God out of the universe.
The word Marriage is thus defined
by all the standard English lexieo-
graphers whose works are within our
reach at this moment.
BY DIR. Samuel johnson: 1. "The
act Of uniting man. and woman for
life. 2. State of perpetual union"
By Noah Webster : 1. "The act of
marrying, or the state of being mar
ried union of man and woman
as husband and wife; matrimony. 2.
A feast made on the occasion of
marriage"
By John Craig: "The act of uniting
a man and woman for life in wedlock |;
the legal union of man and woman
for life; feast made on the occasion
Of marriage"
By Samuel Worcester: "The act of
marrying, or uniting man and wo-
man for life as husband and wife; the
state of legal union between a man
and woman; matrimony; wedlock; we'd
ding; nuptials."
Every one but Webster makes union
for life essential to Marriage, and Web
ster intimates no dissent from the gen.
eral dictum.
Consider now the promise required
by the Christian Church cf every man
who presents himself as a candidate
for marriage. 1--WE quote from the
liturgy of the Protestant Episcopal
Church, but it is essentially the same
in all churches j
Minister-"Wilt thou have this wo-
man to thy welded wife, to live togeth-
er after Gods ordinance in the holy
estate Of matrimony? Wilt thou love
her, comfort her, honor and keep her in
sickness and in health; and, forsaking
all others, keep thee only to her, so
long as ye both shall ive?" The man
shall answer, 81 will"
Now we are not here arguing that
the Woodhull-Clafin crowd have not
devised or adopted substitute which
is vastly superior to Marriage-we will
consider that point in its order. For
the present, we only insist on the OBJ
vious truth that what they commend
and delight in is not Marriage, but
something quite other than that, which
should be called by its own proper
name, whatever, that may be. We
do not wish to name it; but why
should not they? He who has invent
ed something vastly superior to an ak,
hoe, an auger, does not seek to con-
found it with that which it is intended
to supersede; he gives it a distinguish
ing name, and tries to make the dis
tinction between the old and the new
as broad and emphatic as be may.
Our new lights, on the contrary, seek
to palm off their nostrum for what it
is not, and thereby betray their con-
sciousness of its inferior character.
No man tries to pass off gold for brass,
or silver for pewter; if he tries to de-
ceive at all, he proffers his pewter as
silver, his brass as gold, and profit as
may hap by the presumed lack of dis
cernment in his customers.
| We demand that those who CON-
mend the Woodhull-C -Clafin substitute
for Marriage shall commend it as a
substitute, and under distinct name.
Is not that demand clearly just9

There is boy in Florida, fourteen
years old, named Judson Blount, who
saved many lives the other day. He
discovered a place on the railroad
where the rains had undermined the
the roadbed, and ran about a mile
and half up the road to warn pas
senger train. AS with its precious
freight it came laundering down the
grade the boy waved his hat. The
engineer only looked wonderingly
at him, and he then took off his coat
and waved that. OF course it was all
done in moment; but the engineer
realized that something was wrong,
and stopped his train in season to
escape fatal catastrophe.

Curious Court.

The court-martial of France charg-
ed with the trial of Communist prison
ers went through delectable farce not
long since, in that it tried and passed
sentence on members of the "Corps of
Fighting Infants" who ranged in age
from six to eleven years, condemning
some to return home and others to con-
finement for the rest of their minority
in house of correction. Seven judges
sat behind big table, dressed in gor-
geous military array, the judge-advo-
cate on their right and the registrar
on their left-all in uniform. Below
them were two rows of gendarmes with
fixed bayonets guarding fifteen little
fellows whose heads barely reached up
to the prisoners bar. Eight Of these
gamins were between six and eleven
years of age, and fourteen had, as full
ly proven, sbouldered rifles and fought
at the barricades, seme of them hav-
ing remained there to be wounded and
knocked over long after their older
comrades in arms had run away. They
had belonged to Les PupitLes, or Les
Infants de Commune; being regularly
enrolled, and furnished with uniform
of kepis and striped trousers. The
poor little fellows, successors of
Gavroche, were born, like him to
wretchedness and vagabondage, and
many were orphans, illegitimate or
abandoned children, and pleaded in
excuse for having taken up arms that
they were driven to do SO by hunger
and want. At the trial, the parents of
those who had parents generally asked
the government to do what they would
with them, and they were left like lost
parcels, in the hands of their finders.

The great professors who can face
the battery of a thousand eyes direct
ed to them on the rostrum are frequent
ly the most diffident of men when ta-
ken away from their regular sphere of
labor. There was Professor Aytoun,
who was too timid to ask papa for his
wife. When Jane Emily Wilson sug-
gested to him that before she could
give her absolute consent it would be
necessary that he should obtain her
fathers approval-"You must speak
for me-" said the suitor, "for l could
not summon courage to speak to the
Professor on this subject" :" "Papa is in
the library" said the lady. "Then you
had better go to him." said the suitor,
"and I'll wait till you return" The
lady proceeded to the library, and,
taking her father affectionately by the
hand mentioned that Professor Aytoun
had asked her in marriage. She add
ed, "Shall l accept his offer, papa? He
is so diffident that he won't speak to
you about it himself" "Then we must
deal tenderly with his feelings" said
the hearty old Christopher. "1'll write
my reply on a slip of paper, and pin
it to your back" "Papa's answer is
on the back of may dress" said Miss
Jane, as she entered the drawing-room.
Turning round, the delighted suitor
read these words: "With the authors
compliments"
A fair story is told of a recent
Iowa hail storm, which they say as
bad as a shower of pitchforks, some Of
the stones enough to be called bould-
ers. The tin roofs, where it occurred,
we're punched full of holes; all the
glass which happened to be in its way,
some eight thousand lights, was bro
ken, and innumerable pigs and chick
ems were killed. AS to the crops,
there was nothing left of them. The
standing corn was chopped up fine
enough to be fed to the stock without
the necessity of passing it through a
cutter, and the ground has been all
plowed up for buekwheat aud turnips'
The Charleston daily news. [volume] (Charleston, S.C.) 1865-1873, 1871-01-21

THE Camden Journal says that Governor
Scott's special message twill be received BY
"all good citizens as indicative OF a desire on
"the part of the Governor to do justice TO
sour people, and he will be heartily assisted
sin his efforts to conserve the peace by the
"srm OF civil authority by all who love the
ouuiet Of South Carolina" The Journal
adds:
ssWhen we see indications of sense of JUS
tce towards all the citizens of the State by the
Executive or any other branch of the govern
ment, we are ready to meet them half way.
While the message may be, and doubtless is, a
deserved rebuke to the extremists of the Re-
publican legislators, it is the first glimmer OF
hope which our silently suffering people have
been vouchsafed, and as such we welcome II;
and we are sure that we represent the true
sentiment of all good citizens, when we de-
clare our purpose to aid In bringing about, by
every means In our power, q good understand
ing between the Governor and hitherto much
and wrongfully abused whites of the State"
