soufh Caroltsa Monument Association.
CIRCULAR

At a meeting Of the Board Of Direc.
tors of the South Carolina Monument
Association, held in Columbia, Novem-
Der 20, it was unanimously resolved, that
a Bazaar should be opened In Columbia,
on the Sd day of May, the proceeds OF
which Bazaar shall be used in the erec-
ton of Monument to the Confederate
dead of South Carolina. Feeling assur-
ed that more good can be done by a COM
bined effort of this kind than by any in
dividual exertion, however well direct
ed, we earnestly appeal to the women
of the State to help us in this work. Up
to this time, every call from the Associa-
ton for aid has been most generously
responded to, both by South Carolinians
residing outside of the State, as we'll as
by those who are among us to see the
progress of our work. Being convinced,
therefore, that we have but to represent
our cause, for all to contribute gladly to
its success, we ask the public interest in
our behalf. '.
Tables will be assigned to each District
aud Committees appointed to receive
contributions. We hope that these con-
tributions will be large and that every
District will be largely represented. !"
Arrangements will be made with va'
rious Railroads and Express Companies,
to pass all articles marked, Monument
Bazaar" free of charge. "..''t
Parties sending boxes are requested to
put the name of the District from which
they come on each box. ..- 2"
BY order Of the President,
Mrs. J. S. PRESTON, Pres'tS. c. NJ. A,
Mrs. WIN. WALLACE, Vice-President
Mas. J. l.. REYNOLDS, Treasurer.
Mrs. J. T. darcy, Cor. Secretary
MISS MARTIN, Rec. Secretary.
We would call attention to the above
appeal, and beg every woman in Able
vile, to take it to herself, and answer II
according to her ability. 1t is the first
opportunity offered us to help to raise 6
Monument 10 guard the precious memo
ry of our dead, and let each one fee
proud oput hand to the work.
The Circular states so dictinctly Its
object, that we would only add sug
gestion as to the simplest way to act ef
fciently over the whole district. Le
the ladies of each.village or large neigh
borhood, say Greenwood, Cokesbury
Due West, Lowndesville, Ninety-six
New Market, Mt. Carmel, &C., appoin
a Committee to receive contributions o
every kind, both for the fancy tables ant
the refreshment room, and at the time
named send them directly to Columbia
marked Monumental Bazaar" witt
the name of the District on the box ant
of the village, OH card inside with lis
of articles. With such concertof actor
am sure the ladies of Abbeville viii
obtain result highly satisfactory with
out any heavy burden on any one.

CRIME.-We learn that the store Of
Mr.. Moses Winnstock, about three miles
above the village, was entered last Sat
urday night and goods to the value Of
some seventy-fivc dollars abstracted. A
key which fitted the lock Of the store
was found in the house of Cornelius
Pressly, an employee living on the prem.
ises, and also flannel petticoat in the
possession of his wife Eliza Pressly.
The former made his escape, but the
latter was arrested under warrant from
Trial Justice Hemphill, and in default
of hail, was lodged in Jail.
Thomas Latimer, colored, charged
with stealing the mule of Alfred Gala
ham, also colored, was lodged in Jail OH
Wednesday last. The prisoner is the
same against whom a bench warrant
was issued during the last Term, on ac-
count of his failure to appear and prose
cute in a certain cause in the Sessions.

THE FUTURE PROSPERITY OF TEE
SoUTH.-There can be no doubt that it
would contribute greatly to the future
prosperity of this section OF the Onlon
if many amongst us would turn their
energies and capital in new channels OF
enterprise and business. The old roads
are clear, but they are worn and crowd
cd. Blaze a new path through the
woods for yourself, young man, and YOU !,
of your competitors. A striking exam,
pie of the value of this precept is found
in the case Of Mr., P. p. Toale, of Char

The NEXT SUGAR CROP Tho New
Orleans Picyuns says there is every
indication that strenuous efforts will
be made to increase the production o.
Louisiana sugar next year. The ole
planters intend to extend their; acre
age under sugar, and many will aban
don cotton culture and turn their
attention to the sweets. In many
parishes planting has already com
menced, where tho requisite labor
has been secured. Very high wages
are being paid, SO strong is the com
petition for labor. las We feared, il
has been found that the cold spell
during the holidays did great injury
to the seed cane, and killed a great
deal of stubble. This will seriously
affect the yield of next season, and il
is probable that the large increase in
the production Of this important
staple anticipated by the Agricultur
al Bureau will DO deferred. -

KU-KLUX LEGIsLATIoN.-No measure
of legislation will be adopted by Con-
gress at this session. After long fill
clustering, on motion of Peters of Maine,
it was resolved that a select committee
of thirteen be appointed by the Speaker
whose duty it shall be to inquire into
the condition of the late insurrectionary
States, so far as regards the execution
of the laws and the safety of the lives
and property of the citizens of the Uni
ted States, and report the result of their
investigation to this House in December
next, with such recommendations as
they may deem expedient; and thai
said committe be authorized to employ
clerk and stenographer, to sit during
the recess, to send for persons and papers
to take testimony, and to visit, at theil
discretion, through subcommittee, any
portion of the Southern States during
the recess; and that the expense of said
committse be paid from the contingent
fund of the House. Passed by lB to Ga
A concurrent resolution that Congress
adjourn on the Goth passed. The Speak
er announced the following committee
under Peters resolution: Butler, o.
Massachusetts,; Shellabarger, Kelley
Maynard, Coburn, Buckley, Stevenson
Burdett, Cox, Buck, Arther, Waddel
and Robinson.
The vote on the select committee O.
thirteen was as follows: Ayes-Repub
licans 1875; Democrats Ga. Nays-Rc
publicans so; Democrats IA. This reso
luton closes out the Ku-Klux business
for this session, and adjournment or

The Failure Of Grants Pet Scheme
Admitted:

A Washington dispatch, Of the 9th
inst, to the New York Tribune. says:
II is now agreed, an oil hands, that
there is no longer any hope for the
success Of the Santo Doning annexa;
tion project. Its friends abandoned,
tome time since, the idea of bringing
annexation about by, tho passage of q
joint resolution, following the prece-
dent made in the case of the admis-
sion of Texas. They found that
the Democrats would vote in body
against the proposition in any shape
and that 80 great number of Rspub-
|licans would take the same course, in
Guiding several Of the Oldest and most
prominent members, that it was hope
less to expect to get majority vote.
The only other. course remaining is to
accomplish the annexation by the rat
ifcation Of treaty by the Senate,
which requires a two-thirds vote OF
that body. The Senate is composed
of scvcnty-four members, so that il
will take fifty votes to constitute two.
thirds. The Republican strength I is
ffty-seven, and tho Democratic is &C.
teen. All the Democratic senator's
except Mr.. Blair are opposed toan.
nexation. 1t will, therefore, only be
necessary that nine Republicans shall
vote with the sixteen Democrats t.
defeat the confirmation of the annex
alton treaty; and more than that
number declare in positive terms that
they are opposed to annexation in
any form, and that they will vote
Iasainst it from first to last, their oppo
|sition being intensified by the actor
lof thescaucus to-day. It is not Ger
tain that all Of the twenty-one sena
tors who opposed the removal Of MIR
Sumner from his Craftsmanship vii
oppose annexation, but all but five Of
six make no secret Of theiropposition
The plan Of the annexation has here
tofore been to bring e.treaty befos'

tive session, after the adjournment o
Congress, when no adverse infuenc'
could be brought to bear from tn
