CHINEsE.-There' arc great
many of these people in olIT city.
We meet them on al the streets.
Their appearance is cleanly, and
they are well behaved, ana seem
to be in easy circumstances. They
have little intercourse with orr
other people, but ire keenly Oh
servant of everything. They have
opened SMALL shops, one large
store Oil Royal street, in a,central
locality, and one extensive laun-
dry on Carondslet street, where
clothes are washed and done up in
Chinese style, which is superior, to
all other styles. The great supe-
rierity of the Chinese laundry
work Is ascribed to a peculiar
mode of sprinkling, which is done
'By squirting The water IN spray
from their mouths.Hi- 88IIlO nUe
Many of these Cinnamon have
come from the plantations, pre-
ferring, as they do, the small
trades and industries of the city
to the dun, plodding work of the
plantations. This tendency will
prevent the accIup ulation of large
forces Oh the plantations Tor some
time to come. There is so great a
demand for the small fahors and
Tor mental service in the city that
a great many Cinnamon will fine
employment here. They will dis
place>the inmeBse surplus of lazy
loafng negroes who have stray
gled from the, cou ntry, where they
could be usefully and protitabt,

mirable medical treatise on the causes, preven-
ton and cure of a great variety of diseases, ii
embraces large amount of information inter-
esting to the merchant the mechanic, the
miner, the farmer, the planter and professional
man and the calculations have been made for

BILE for correct and comprehensive NATIONAL

Bitters are sold in every city, town and village,

As. our readers will observe from the report
of thesales that took place on Monday last, an
immense amount Of real estate wssiput up to
the highest bidder, and brought very fair prices
asa general rule. The aggregate sum is sS7,-
2oosorth Of real estate. The prices obtained
for property in the town of Anderson demon
strate that there is no depreciation in value
The bidding was quite animated st times, and
the large crowd Of persons attracted. by the
sales was not diminished until the auctioneers
concluded their labors. although the cold winds
madeit exceedingly disagreeable.

SOLUBLE
PACIFIC GUANO.
Price $45 Cash, with usual Advance on Time

EXPERIENCE in the use of this Guano for
II the past six years in this State, for Cotton
and Corn, has far established its character for
excellence as to render comment unnecessary.
In accordance with the established policy of
the Company to furnish the best Concentrated
Fertilizer at the lowest cost to consumers, this
Guano is put into market this season at the
above reduced price, which the Company is en-
abled to do by reason of it's large facilities and
the reduced cost of manufacture.
The supplies put into market this season are,
as heretofore, prepared under the personal su-
perintendence of DR.. st. Julian Ravenel, Chem
ist of the Company, at Charleston, S. c., hence
planters may rest assured that its QUALITY
and COMPOSITION is precisely the same as
that heretofore sold. AT the present low price
every acre planted can be fertilized with 200
pounds GuanO at cost not exceeding the pres
ent value of 80 pounds of cotton, while expert
ence has shown that under favorable conditions
of season and cultivation the crop is increased
by the application from two to threefold the
natural capacity of the soil. Hence under no
conditions could its application fail to conlpen-
safe for the outlay. Apply to

Application ofthe LeoaI Remedy.

The Executive Committee Of the Tax-Pay-
ers' Convention met in Columbia last week.
We learn that the gentlemen in attendance
have given their attention to the troubled con-
dition of our State finances, as is meet and
proper, and that they are preparing to push
legal remedies against participants in the des-
perate games enacted by our State officials. 1t
would not surprise us that the action of the E1-
-eeative Committee might be anticipated by
some of these officials, and imitation of Mr..
Kimpton, that they should take fight to other
regions. Therefore, we hope to see no unnec-
essary delay in instituting whatever legal rem
edies against the thieves and plunderers that
learned counsel might suggest. We believe that
the law will compel surrender of their trusts,
where it can be shown clearly and unequivo-
cally that high officials have exercised those
trusts to their own private advantage and to
the detriment of the public veal. Then, if
there is law to protect the citizens of this COM
monweaith from rapicious plundering and vile
combinations, let its aegis be invoked at once.
We would earnestly urge the afiliation of all
good men, irrespective of party politics, in this
movement to reach the conspirators by due
process of law. As in New York, 30 let it be
in South Carolina, that the people demand re-
dress of the Courts. 1t is the only safe, thor
ough remedy, in our judgment, and will prove
bulwark of safety in the future.

The United States Court.

The November term of the United States
Circuit Court began in Columbia last week,
Judges Bond and Bryan are presiding. The
tnah Of the alleged Ku Klux prisoners, recent
ly arrested in the various counties under mar
tial law, will occupy the attention of the Court,
to the exclusion of all civil business. Indeed,
the business of the Court seems restricted to
this point, and all the preparations in the mat
ter of grand and petit juries related to the trial
of the so-called Ku Klux. After some delay,
the juries were organized last Friday as fol-
lows: Six white men and fifteen ,colored upon
the grand jury, and twenty whites and thirty
two colored on the petit juries. On Saturday,
true bills were found against large number of
citizens of York county for conspiracy and
murder of colored man, and bench warrant
issued to bring the prisoners before the Court.
The United States is represented in the prose-
cution by Hons. D. T. Corbin and D. II. Cham
berlain, and the general defence is conducted
by Hon. Reverdy johnson, of Maryland, and
Hon. Henry Stanberry, of Ohio, assisted byable
counsel from the lccal bar of Columbia and
adjacent towns The struggle began in earnest
on Monday last, when motion was made by
Mr. Stanberry to quash the indictment framed
by the District Attorney. He sustained the
points relied upon to quash the indictment by
an able effort, which occupied more than two
hours District Attorney Corbin obtained leave
of further time until IL o'clock Tuesday, where
in to prepare his answer to the grounds set forth
in the motion of Mr.. Stanberry. The whole
country is looking with interest upon the pro-
eeedings of this Court, and we shall endeavor
to keep eur readers informed as the trials pro-

The Governors Message.

We give the material portion of this extra
ordinary document in to-day's issue. The
space occupied by the message precludes any
extended comment from u.s. But we are free
to say that no message has previously emana-
ted from the present Executive so full of pal
pable inconsistencies and blundering perver-
sions. 1t reveals the true animus of Governor
Scott towards the white people of South Caro-
lima, and tears off the mask behind which he
has sought to conceal malevolent feelings for
some time past. Because, forsooth, the main
body of whites have kept aloof from his de-
graded party, he makes insane charges of dis
loyalty against them as an entire people, for
getting that the Radical party has enjoyed the
fullest sway in every respect and is wholly re-
sponsible for the government of the State.
Attempting to hide the defects of his own ad-
ministration, Gov. Scott essays to place the
blame of failure upon the acts Of his political
opponents. But the truth cannot bealtogether
suppressed, and even Gov. Scott admits the re-
sponsibility of his own party and furnishes the
proof of of.extravsgance and unnecessary expen-
diture by the Legislature, although he has neg
lected to point ont the particular official acts
of reprehensible conduct for which he alone is
responsible. We presume that the Legislature,
recognizing the adage that zone good turn de-
serves another" will kindly afix the stigma of
responsibility upon Gov. Scott for guilty par
ticipation in fraudulent issues of bonds and
other matters connected with the execution Of
the laws. Such action would prove happy
illustration of the truth ."that when rogues fall
out, honest men get their dues"

THE FASHION 81
Nov 30, 1871

THE readers Of the Intelligencer are assured
qy the proprietor of the "EMPoRIUM OF FASH
ION" at Abbeville, s. c., that his stock of Dry
Goods and Millinery was never SO large and
attractive as it is this season. Nothing that
could be thought of has been left undone. His
stock was bought with great deal Of care.
There are larger stocks in the State but when
it comes to real handsome and stylish goods,
the Emporium Of Fashion, is unsurpassed.
Especial attention is called to his stock Of Dress
Goods, Shawls and Millinery, and to many ar
ticles useful and ornamental for ladies, not to
be found in any other house in the up-country.
Mrs. CAIN, in charge of the Millinery Depart
ment, has been in Baltimore for two months
locking up and studying the styles. She is es-
sisted by Miss SMALL, Mrs. WIER and Miss
CAToc.
The Dress Making Department is in charge
of Miss TwEEDDALE, lately in charge of fash
ionable dress making establishment in Balti-
more. She is assisted by the Misses TAaaART
and three other ladies of skill in this depart
ment.
Samples of Dress and any other goods that
can be cut, will be sent upon application. La

the best materials, and don't pretend to COM
pete with common materials and untasty work.
Our prices for Hats run from So to $IO Wewill
duplicate any bill of Millinery bought in any
city at one-third less price. But, ladies, we
would rather you would come, that you can
judge for yourselves, and make your own Sc

Hea,,v,!,v FalI of Snow.

This section was visited on Thursday last by
a HaSy fall of ,now, averaging Ave inches in
depth. We do not remember to have ever wit
messed so deep snow at this season of the
year. Snow-balling and rabbit-hunting was
the 6fder of the day for Friday, and the boys
enjoyed, the presence of this unusual visitor
with much gusto.
