Az EMPoRIA Bus1NEss EsrARLIsHMENr.-


Fred HIrth has moved into his new furniture
house, on Commercial street. We heartily
congratulate both Mr.. Hirth and our citizens
generally, upon this noticeable step in his
business progress, because it is not only
ereditable to him, but significant of onr
growth a. q community. That Emporia
needs, and can sustain, furniture establish
ment such as Mr.. Hirth now throws open for
public inspection, Is proof that it il In fact as
well as name, acity. His spacious and elegant
warerocmS occupy an entire brick building
the central of the handsome trio just erected
by himself Hall Bros, and Mr.. Barsch. They
are literally filled with furniture Of all Yarie-
ties and styles, skillfully arranged, and so at
tractive to all who enter that we predict an
immediate increase OF Mr.. Hirth's large num-
Der OF patrons. He can now display a stock
that would be termed first-class in the largest
metropolitan cities. No one need imagine
that they can do better by patronizing eastern
houses. Dealers all through this section
should visit EmpOria before going TO the un-
necessary trouble OF ordering from Kansas
City. or LeavenwOrth, or from even st. Louis
or Chicago. Mr.. HIrth's mandatory will
be correspondingly enlarged to meet the
demands upon II, and through that especially
his business will benefit the vigorous young
city with the development and material pros
perity Of which he is SO thoroughly identified.
In connection with the furniture rooms, Sto.
ker Bros. will maintain first-class undertak-
er's establishment, q. fine hearse, and a full
stock Of all goods pertaining to that necessary
line Of business. One of the most experienced
and skillful upholsterers known to the trade
and unquestlonably the best in this State
Is engaged to take charge OF that important
branch, and MIR. Hirth can guarantee the most
fashionable and substantial work in this line.
We advise our readers to call at and look over
Hirth's furniture house at their earliest con-
Yenienee.

BANCROFT 4 McCARTER.-These gentle
men have q new announcement for the fall
trade in our paper to-day. Their goods have
commenced to arrive. kr. McCarter has been
in the East Tor several weeks buying for the
fall and winter trade Of the establishment.
They will soon open an immense stock. It is
unnecessary for us 70 write . word In their
favor In every newspaper, in every town
and hamlet, and we might almost say In every
house in Southwestern Kansas they are known
for their enterprise, liberality, and desire to
sell cheap. They have built up . trade which
Is excelled by very few interior houses in this
State. They buy al the head OF the market,
for cash, and sell at the bottom OF the price
lists, for cash. We are proud Of this arm as
an EmporIa institution, and can only say to
our hundreds Of readers in the Central and
Southwest portion OF the State, that they will
not regret an acquaintance with the firm, even
II they do not buy q cents worth Of goods.

PAINFUL AccIDENT.-Saturday
morning a party Of boys from the
Episcopal Purochial School, orga-
nized by the Rev. A. Toomcr Por-
ter, went across Ashley River to
Mr.. Frampton's place, a short dis
tance up the Wappoc Creek, for
the purpose OF getting plums.
They landed at the watering tank,
and during the day several Of the
boys climbed to the windlass of the
pump; which is placed some fifteen
feet from the ground for the pur-
pose of filling the tank, and be-
gan to work it. While thus en-
gagged, the crank few out of their
hands, and struck youth name
Arthur Simkins in the head. He
fell to the flooring beneath, and his
leg being thrust between two
planks was broken about the mid
die Of the thigh by the violence OF
the fail. The unfortunate sufferer
was borne by his companions to
the boat, aud rowed over to Savan-
nah and Charleston Railroad wharf,
whence he was quickly taken home.
The limb was speedily set by a
skilful surgeon. and the patient is
now doing well.-Charleston Neles.

The Past and the Present Of the
Democracy.

Whatever else may be thought OF
the New York Herald, tbs universally
conceded to reflect most admirably
the shifting phases of public scnti-
ment. to discern most clearly "the
signs of the timcs," and to forecast
with rare sagacity the horoscope of
the future. With rare sources Of in
formation, and without the bias of
partisan interest it has the sagacity to
see, and the independence to point
out, the errors into which both the
great political parties of the country
are falling. Its views of the past and
future policy of Democracy seem to
harmonize entirely with those of Mr..
Vallandingham and Mr.. John Quincy
Adams. as recently set forth.
In the Chicago Democratic Convcn-
ton of 1864, a few important words
introduced by Mr. Nallandingham-
that "the war for the Union is fail
ure" and ought to be stopped, were
sufficient 10 ensure the defeat Of the
Again in the great National
Democratic Convention Of 1868, Val
landingLam and Hampton repeated
the blundcr of 1868, in putting into
the platform the fatal resolution de-
claring the whole reconstruction sys-
tenn, unconstitutional, revolutionary
and void" The late victory in New
Hampshire unduly olatcd the Dem
ocracy, and provoked some 'iudiscrcct
uttcrauccs from Mr.. Davis and other
Southern leaders, and it required the
rehuent tide of defeat in Connecticut
to bring them to a just appreciation Of
the situation. TO this point they
have now arrived, and Mr.. Eallan-
Mr.. Adams, and the Penn
sylvania Democracy all stand now on
Ohio platform. State by State, North
by South, the democracy will fall in
with Pennsylvania, so that, by the year
1872, they will be relieved of the
dcadweights of the war which, in
1864 and 1868, broke them down.
"Lct the Democratic party" says
the Herald, snow that the men Of
Pennsylvania nave cleared the track,
bring out General Sherman as their
candidate on the constitution and the
Ku Klux question, and instead Of
mcandering about for another gen.
Grafton in the Dismal Swamp of dead
issues, they may, even in 1872, and
almost certainly in 1876 advance to
the enjoymcuts of the White House
and the national Capitol"
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1871-06-02

But after ell, it is giving up nothing
which can be safely retained, and seeks
to make in the next Presidential con-
test the only issues upon which the
Democracy can hope for success. If
the Democrats are willing to stand on
these issues, in the language Of Mr..
Adams "surcly parolcd prisoners
may accept them" To reject them,
is to dictate to those by whom the
battle is to be fought, and who are
presumed to know best the state of
public opinion at home.

The Grand Jury Of Newberry.

The Grand Jury of Newberry in
their recent presentment, make a
thorough exhibitor existing abuses.
These find their climax in the trans
actions of the Board of County
Commissioners. With regard to
these they remark:
"In the present board of County
Commissioners they find, after a
careful investigation, system Of
corruption, bribery and theft stu
pendous to behold-a system of
Wholesale robbery which was to
them almost preposterous. 1 ex-
amining the books, papers, &C., OF
the old board Of county commia-
sioners they found indubitable evil
dence of perjury on the partof one
Samuel Dogan and Thomas NJ.
jenkins, by probating and paying
the same account twice. Dogan
has sold the proceeds of the poor
house farm and has never account
ed for the moneys arising from
such sale, and also sold horse oe-
longing to the same institution, and
has likewise not accounted tor the
proceeds of such sale. And as to
the new board, they find that they
indulge in all species of fraud and
corruption, and, as the grand jur.:
ors are informed, this board OF
commissioners have never visited
the poorhouse to examine into the
condition Of its unfortunate in.
mates, as has always heretofore
been the custom. Simeon Young,
one of the aforesaid board, has
dad himself elected superintendent
of the poorhouse, with a salary Of
five hundred dollars, and sub:lets
the same for two hundred dollars
on his account, the same being
paid by the treasurer of the coun-
ty, on recommendation of Young.
They also found check for one
hundred and twenty-five dollars in
favor of Simeon Young, passed
and approved by the board OF
which of which he is chairman
said check was given for no con-
sideration."

RELIGIOUS.

On Sunday last the Rev. W. P. Du-
Bose, of Trinity Church, preached a
sermon in which he presented a very
interesting review Of the proceedings
of the recent Episcopal Diocesan
Convention, held in Charleston. The
meeting of the Convention was one
of the most important and instruc-
tive which he had ever attended, and
furnished hopeful evidence of the
future prosperity of the Church. The
Iargencss of the attendance bctoken-
ed the religious interest which pre-
vailed, and the harmony which char
actcrizcd it, was most cheering.
Differences existed, and the preacher
deprecated any attempt to reduce
these to any Procrustcsn standard of
dead uniformity. The effect must
be to cause either the slavery Of Papal
infallibility, or the countless schisms
Of dissent. On the contrary, TO per-
NIT these antagonisms of feeling, of
doctrine, and of ritual, to co-exist in
the same religious body, is TO produce
the grand rcsultant-truth. The
speaker congratulated the Diocese on
the election of tho now assistant
Bishop, the Rev. W. B. Howe, as one
eminently qualified to guide the
Church through the evils which en-
yiron her. Ho said he came back
to his own church moro than ever
satisfied to remain, and with renewed
resolution to spare neither her nor
himself in prosecuting the missionary
work Of the Diocese.

Ex-PREsIDENr DAvIs.-AIr. Da-

his high character and eminent

cially, come most in-opportuucly,

ception and pcrversion, will give
capital to our foes in the coming
