One of the Fashions of the Day.


One of the fashions of the day in Edgeheld-
and charming fashion it isis for the bellies and
beaux to go together late in the aftsrnOon-in
pairs of course-to look at the varied and beauti-
full cortonts of MARKERr & CLIsBY's splendid
Show Case; and for the beau to present his ac-
companying belle with pretty present. The
latter clause of course sets forth the most binding
of feature of the fashion. Yes, this is all the
fashion; and the maiden who puts up with a
lover who hasn't made her a valuable present out
of MARKnRr & CLIsBY's Show Case, is very
tame and spiritless girl, and will be very much
imposed upon and hacked by her future husband
T We are pleased to learn that Mr.. 1. N.
league, formerly resident of our town, has been
appoiuted Treasurer for tho County of Barnwell.

And NOW at This Late Dav.

And now at this late day, light has shinsd'
about the path offhe Daily Union, the Soothing,
organ in Columbia, causing it to turn away its
eyes from such incendiary agitators asaJos Crews,
and whipper, and Elliott and Holden and Kirk,
and speak thus: - ;5fz.-ess1 49,
Judge Orr, General Mo Gowan, General Kershaw,
General Butler and Judge Melton, will consult:
with the Governor, and discuss fully and, freely
the present distracted condition of the State, we
make no doubt that some means can be devised
that will bring peace and order, wherc uoHreigns
nothing but turmoil, outrage and bloodshed.
!. Bah the UniOn is perhaps happy tospoak of
turmoil, outrage and bloodshed," and to inti-
mate that the white people of;south Carolina are
making violent movements in the way Of retalia-
ton and revenge. This sort of thing pleasssits
friends at the North, and the party which it en-
dorsea. But the fact is, that many of the people
Of South Carolina, instead of making movements
of retaliation and revenge, (God knows they have
had enough to incite them to such y are making
a much moro serious movement of gathering up
the little the Radical party has left them, ana
quietly quitting State SO degraded and 50 ac-
cursed. And many other. feel that they have
EucOumbedto Radical oppression as long as human
nature can stand It. They are completely backed
to the wall now, and must resist or die.
The suggestion, however, letit comefrom whom
it may, of conference of prominent and trust
worthy men of the State with Gov. Scott, is not
bad one. And we are glad to read that several
prominent citizens of Charleston have already
gone to Columbia for this purpose, and that del
egations from various parts of the State will b'
present and participate in the Conference. Gov
Scott undoubtedly seems disposed to turn over
new leaf. But for any good to come outof thi
conference, the Governor must be prepared Il
give the said prominent and trustworthy citzen
much more credenco and confidence than he ha
accorded them on previous occasions, er.

AMNESTY QUESTION IN CONGRESS
A Sharp Debate.

In the United States Senate, or Tues
removing the disabilities OF J. S. G..
reporter of the Supreme
Court OF sSoIth Cstro!ina, and four other
PERSONS.
Mr.. Salisbury suggested that all the;
difficulty i'll regard to the removal of
poi!iiuai disabilities gould be settled By,
the. cnunciaton of q principle. Let u
test be applied, and rs it really is ap-
piled, let it he understood that the tc.:
Of Congress is, this: Does the person
whose Capabilities are to be removed vote
the Republican tic!ict?n Plat is the
best test OF loyalty, and it makes 10 ait-
ference, 3s action of the Executive and
Is legislation here has shown, what rGrt
in individual LAS taken in the Ate .war.
tie may have commanded armies, lls
MAY have slaughtered hundreds ct our
citizens, he HAY have been one of the
most efficient upholders Of the Confeu-
crate cause. But that is no matter, PRO-
ridcd that he now votes the Republican
| ticket and shows fidelity TO tic Iscpub-
| lican cause. 1t is 81 right, ~ he changes
| his voice, and cries loudly "rcbel,"
TRAITOR" and "ku-!iluX" against your
! old friends and ASSOCIATES.
! Mi. Pomeroy said that loyalty to the
Democratic party Of the South was an
almost undoubted evidence of disloyalty
to the Union. The Democratic Earty oi
the South went as naturally intp the
rebellion as 9 duck went into water.
! 70 leave the Democratic party OF the
South, which went bodily into its or
ganized capicity into the rebellion, was
certainly some sign of returning loyalty.
Ii was q good Sign of repentance, and
Was probably well to be adopted as 9
test, rs the Senator lMr. Salisbury had
suggesled laughFr,] but it was hot
Necessary TO say so in the law. He was
willing at the proper time to vote for
universe amnesty, and when these men
would keep the peace and sustain the
government of their country, he would
vote to relieve them, whether they were
DEMOCRATS Or not.
Mr. S9ulsbury said it was not the first
time that such refuge had been taken
. from their position in assaults on the
Democratic party. Such assaults ns this
had been. made upon the Democratic
party from its very birth. And what is
this party that is now so bitterly assail.
ing it? A party which has subverted
every principle. of constitutional liberty
which is constantly warning against the
Hdecrees of Almighty God Himself. 4
party whose latest exploit is an attempt
to annex to this country free negtc
repu6lic; 81 party whose only mission tc
degrade the white man and elevate the
negro. When the Democratic party
comes into power in 1872, it will, Us fal
as possible, restore the government te
'what it wa7 Designed by ITS founders.

New Apportiounlent Of congressman.

Judge Mcrcur, of the House Judiciary
Committee, to which was referred the
subject of a new Congressional appor-
tionment and the various bills relating
thereto, has prepared a report and a bill
to accompany it, which the committee
has instructed him to report to the
House. The report and bill will be
printed and recommittcd. The follow
ing is the substance Of the report: y
That inasmuch as said bill was acted
upon by each House of Congress prior
to the taking of the ninth CELSIUS, and
with the object OF having Representa-
tlves elected to under it in the year 1870,
many of Its provisions haye become
useless and impracticablc, yet the House
OF Representatives thereby indicated 275
Representatives. and the Senate 30t
Representatives, as the number ofwhicl
the tlouse should be composed. Th,
committee has given due consideration
to the fact, Believing, however, tha
800 Representatives, to be increased b.,
the admission of new States, is create.
number than public policy now requires
1t Is concluded to report in favor of %
members, commencing with the Forty
Third Congress. This number is arrived
ut by fixing upon 1877 800 persons as the
ratio, and also by giving an additional
Representative to each State that has n
FRACTION greater than one moiety Of the
said ratio.
Upon this basis, the only States whose
representation will be reduced will be
New Hampshire and Vermont, each OF
which will lose one Representative. The
States of Maine, Rhode Island, Conncc-
ticut, Delaware, Louisiana, Ohio, Flori-
da, Oregon, West Virginia, Nevada and
Sebraslia, will each retain their present
representation. The States Of Massa-
New York, Maryland, Vir-
ginia, North Carolina, South Carolina,
Alabama, Mississippi, California, and
will each gain one over its
present representation. The States of
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Georgia,
Texas, Winconsin, and Kansas, will
each gain two. The States of Missouri,
and Iowa will each gain three,
and the State Of Illinois will gain four.

COUNTY CO1IMIssIoNERs.-T bill in
trohuccd by Mr.. Whlttcnlorc in the
State Senate, defining the duties of
county commissioners, appears to be q
good enc. It's principal provisions are
that the county commissioners shall not
draw upon the treasurer, for more than
three-fOurths Of the tax levy in each
county in any one year; nor shall any
order be drawn upon him, unless he
has the fund: in the treasury to pay the
same; the purchasing, directly or indi-
rcctly, of any order drawn upon the
county treasurer for less than its price
value is made 4 misdcmcanor and pun
| ishabic by forfeiture OF Office. Such bill
would certainly have prevented most
Of the jobDcry Of which complaint is
made in this county, and would have
kept the commissioners within rcasonu-
ble bouEd..

IL:eiAL.-In the Supreme Court, yes
tcrday, was heard a very interesting
case, being as to the authority of q Cir
cult Judge, under secticn 80 of the code,
to appoint Clerk of the Court to fill al
uncXpired term, in case of the dccease
.of the clerk, and if such appointment
would prohibit the filling of tile vacancy
by deceased, by an election, in accord
ancc with the acts Of the General AS
scmbly.
1t appears that Chalmers was elected
Clerk OF the Court in Chester county in
1868, and in 1870 deceased. The Judge
Of the Circuit Court appointed David
Hemphill to fill the unexpircd term Of
the deceased clerk.
At the election Of October, 1870, JOHN
c. Reistcr was regularly elected to fill
the vacancy, and Hemphill declined to
surrender the Office, holding still by the
appointment OF the Circuit Judge.
a thorough argument was submitted
on both sides, under the regulations of
the code for determining controversies
without action, by Attorney General
Chamberlain for Reister, and c.. D. Mel

The Land Ring Once Eorc.

The substance of the last prpnuncia-
mento of Senator and cX-Land Commits
sioner C. P. Leslie is, that it is useless TO
ask the Advisory Board about the opera
tions of the Land Commission, because
they have 10 records and know nothing
about the operations of that ugly bnsi-
ness also, that the present Land Com
missioner can not tell the horrid tale,
because he, likewise, is in the dark
in regard to the past tranactions OF the
Land concern. This is . very cool way
of announcing that S700,000 has been
spent, and only Mr.. Leslie can show
where and how the money went. MIR.

less he is put on oath, and lie is confident
