intrinsic virtues, and sustained by its re-
markable cures. So mild as to be safe and
beneficial to children, and yet so searching
as to e6ectually purge out the great cor
ruptions of the blood, such as the scrOfulous
and syphilitic contamination. Impurities,
or diseases that have lurked in the system
for years, soon yield to this powerful anti
dote, and disappear. Hence its wonderful
cures, many of which are publicly known,

ally adapted, such as DrOpsy, Dyspep-
sia, Fits, Neuralgia, Heart Disease,
Female Weakness, Debility, and
LeucOrrhGa, when they are manifesto
tions of the scrofillous poisons.
1t is an excellent restorer Of health and
strength in the Spring. BY renewing the
appetite and vigor of the digestive organs,
it dissipates the depression and listless Ian
guor of the season. Even where no disorder
appears, people feel better, and live longer,
for cleansing the blood. The system moves
on with renewed yigor and a new lease Of
life.

tage on crossroad leading from
.Drkcrman's corner inthis town to
North Bridgewatcr an old lady,
by the name Of Susie Phillips
She obtained her livelihood by
braiding straw and fitting boots.
She guarded her huckleberry pas
ture. with vigilance, and woe betide
the children that dared to fill their
baskets from its bushes. TIE old
lady died FIVE or six years ago, at
an advanced aye, and at her re-
quest the large family Bible, con.
tanning the record Of I've Phillips
family, was placed under her head
and buried with her in her grave.
It was thought that this Bible
would be Of service in looking up
the pedigree Of the Phillips family,
and last week the grave WAS
opened and the Bible taken from
beneath the head Of the deceased.
1t has not yet been opened, for at
ter lying so long under ground it
was in very bad condition.

anime it, somclight may be thrown
upon the subject Of the early his

Message of the Governor We
toing the Per Diem and Mile
age Resolution.

STATE OF South CAROLINA,
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, 7
COLUMBIA, March 7, 1871.
To the Honorable, the Senate Of
South Carolina:
GENTLEMEN: I return, to your
honorable body, without my ap-
proval, an Act, appropriatings26
600 for Legislative expenses, for
the following reasons: to-wlt:
First-I regard the expenditure
of the money already appropriated
during this session, and the sum
included in this bill-amounting
in the aggregate to four hundred
thousand (S400,000,) dollars, as
simply enormous for one session
of the Legislature. 1t is beyond
the comprehension Of any one,
how the General Assembly could
legitimateIy expend one-half that
amount OF money. l cannot re-
frain from expressing the opinion
that there must have been some Sc
cret agency in fixing the sum at that
amount, as q number Of the mcm-
bers both Of the House and Sen
ate, have expressed their surprise
at finding the appropriation
changed from one hundred and
twenty-five thousand, (Sl25, ,0O0)
dollars, as it was believed 10 have
passed, to that oftwo hundred and
sixty-five thousand dollars $780,
0O0) dollars. 1regret the necessity
Of returning the act without my
approval, on the last day of the
session, but to do otherwise, feel
that | would be recrcant TO the
duties imposed upon me, by be-
coming a party to a wrong by
which the whole people would be
made to suffer.
l might give may other cogent
reasons why this bill should not
become a law, but time prevents
my doing other than giving it my
unqualified disapprovaI, believing
that the members Of the General
Assembly will, themselves, correct
an error that must have crept into
the bill clandestinely in its en-
rollment.
Very respectfully,
ROBERT X. SCOTT,
Governor.

FORTY THOUSAND DOLLARS SIXTY
YEARS AT INTEREST IN A NEW
YORK BANK WITHOUT 4 CLAIMANT
MASSACHUSETTS HE!E ) CLAIMING
AsLAYE TRADERS FoRTIHE.

Some fifty years ago, a man
named Isaac Phillips went from
North Diihgcwatcr to the South
ern States: and engaged in the
business Of buying and selling
slaves. IIe anla>scd q fortune in
this neiariouS business. 1t is said
that he deposited some $40, 900 III
some bank in New York city:
where it has been on interest ever
since, and for which the bank
officers arc now trying to fnd an
owner. There is Of course con-
siderable scrambling for that large
amount Of property. 1t is pre-
sumei that he left no children.
There are q great many nephews
and nicccs of the above named
Isaac Phillips in aston. Stoughton,
the Bridgewatcrs, and in the re-
gion round abont these towns.
The point now to be proved is
whether the Isaac Phillips afore-
said is The one who deposited that
money in New York. IF these
heirs can prove that he really was
the man, then the money is theirs.

THE SUBSISTENCE OF ARMIES
1t is stated that during every
twenty-four hours each army corps
of the German forces consumes
$4,000 pounds of bread, 1910
pounds of rice or barley, 70 oxen,
or l3,4+0 pounds Of bacon, 2,ol6
pounds of salt, $500 pounds OF cot
fee, l.344pounds Of, oats, 336pounds
Of hay, $500 quarts Of ardent spir-
it's. and 800 fluid ounces of orange
bitters. or some similar tincture,
to be taken with the spirits. In
addition, there are supplied for
every days consumption, 672
pounds of tobacco, 10000 com
mon segars, and 5000 officers Sc
gars. The total daily consump'
ton of the German troops in the
field, it is computed, is twenty five
times as great as the figures glFen

New Enforcement Bill.

The Washington correspondent
Of the Baltimore Gazette says !:
Those who have watched closely
the stealthy movements Of the
Radicals, need not be told that 4
civil war will be risked rather than
power surrendered ut the behcst Of
The ballot. box. Tie encroach
ments Of Congress and the Exccu-
tive move steadily along. The
new Enforct mcnt bill, which has
just passed the House, is but ano-
thcr of a series of measuSes de-
signed to drive the people to cx-
tremcs. With q fourth Of the lc-
gal voters Of the country: the re-
volutionory leaders think they
can pcrpetuatc their rule and un-
less the people display more con-
Germ and carncstncss than they
have for the past six years, the
programme must undoubtedly sue
ceed, tor time at least-pcrhaps
for the next decade.
Whatever may be thought or
said to the contrary, it will appear
plain enough when an impartial.
historian shall have written Of the
origin Of the war Of l8Gl-'65, that
hostilities were premeditate'l and
and forced BY the Radical leaders.
1t is notorious that, for this cx-
press purpose, ar. Seward was
thrown overheard at the Chicago
Convention IN 1860, and i man of
"more nerre" selected in his stead.
Then, as now, Northern hate was
appealed to-thcn, as now, the
principle Of force was insisted upon,
in the outset, as the only panacea
for differences ofopinion in a Gov
ernment founded expressly upon
the consent of the governed. Eir-
ginia (the "bo,der States" agree
ing with herr had Just decided
against secession by $4,000 ma
jority, when "thc man Of nerve
called for IS, ,OOOtroops, with which
to invade her soil. The Radical
leaders now intend to exclude the
Southern vote, en- masse, if need
be, under the cry Of Ku-klnx, and
as many Northern electoral votes
shall suffice their purposes, on the
plea Of frauds in the elections
especially in large Democratic
cities.
The plot is perfect. Such des-
perate Robespicrres, Dantons and
Marats as Morton, Chandler and
Butler have been given the rcins
undisgulscdly, and with apparen-
tiy almost the universal consent
of the Radical party in Congress.
Senator Blair touched Indirectly,
these points, in his great speech,
with significance that the couu-
try had better pay some little at
tention to. The short turn Of the
Administration on the Alabama
question, may here find solution.
1t is utterly impossible that a Gov
ernment can be permanent, found
ed, as it will probably be, in few
years, upon the principle Of mill
tary force, and Yet remain under
the forms of Ee ublicanism. Let
the people stand ready to meet the
crisis when the mask is thrown
aside.

AN IMMORTAL COMPLIMENT
The New York World has this
happily-conceivcd and admirable
paragraph:
IF the wandering death. ded ut
teranccs Of the two great Confede'
rate chieftains, 'Stonewall' Jackson
and Robert 4. Lee, may be consid-
cred rs final upon the matter, then
the late Confederate General, A. 7.
Hill. who lost his life at the clos
ing battle Of the war, must be ac-
ceptcd by history as the most
trusted coadjutor Of these eminent
commanders. In his dying mo-
ments, Jackson exclaimed, Send
4. P. Hill to the troEt y ,;
Upon his death bed, at Lexington,
General Lee, as the telegraph
states, his mind revertlng to the
bloody events OF the War, once
ordered his tent to be struck, and
at another time desired Hill 10 be
sent for Thus does it appear
that, in the supreme moments OF
the closing hours OF those men
upon whose shoulders rested the
heaviest burdens Of the war upon
the side Of the Confederacy, came
the utterance, born of delirium,
but more solumn for that reason,
that stamps General A. P. Hill as
a man whose presence was 10 be
desired, and whose fidelity was
assured. No higher compliment
could be paid to- his memory than
those parting words Of Lee and

The Staley-Hungerford Af-
fair.

The Savannah Ne,cs, has the
following concerning the Staley-
Hungcrtord affair, which has been
previously noticed in the, Courier:
Monday evening Mrs. .Fogarty,
the Keeper of the house in which
Sue Hungerford had been we'll
nigh cut to pieces. appeared at
the Police Barracks in great tre:
pidation, dressed in male costume,
and demanded protection for her
household. She was evidently
very much excited. and very ea-
ger that policc guard should h.
detailed for her relief. She told
the officer in command that Mr..
John A. Staley had called at her
house that evening and demanded
certain papers which lie alleged
had been left in Sue uungcrford's
charge. Mrs. Fogarty said she
knew nothing Of them, but would
90 in and require, and If the pa
pers were there be should have
Them. lie then demanded admis'
sion to Sue nungerford's room.
stating "it was all right, and he
must see her anyhow" Mrs. F.
garty demurred, stating that in
her present weakened condition
Sue onyht not to see anybody,
and least Of all him. At this
point Mrs. FoSarty noticed the
CLEAN Of a knife. aid said. ."God
bless me! What is thatY' It's
the knife ny wife cut her WITH"
replied StaIcy: "but never you
mind-that's all right. I want to
zee you privately. Step back here
for a momeut." Perfectly terri
fed, Mrs. Fogarty complied with
his request, and asked him what
he wanted "In the first place.
said Staicy, 81 want you to pron,-
ise HE solemnly that you wont
swear against me, whatever You
do, or if you do it will be the
worse for you" Mrs. Fogarty as
sured him that "whatever she
might have to stay when called
upon for her evidence it should be
the truth" Stafey again ca1tion-
ed her to "mind what she was
about" and u visitor knocking for
admission gave Mrs. Fogarty the
chance to escape to her room, as
sumo male attire, and hasten with
all speed to the Police Barracks,
where her story was soe n told:
In compliance with her request,
the officer in charge detailed po-
liceman to remain upon her prem:
iscs until he was relieved, thus re-
lieving for the time beng her fear
Of assassination. Where Mr.: Sta
ley went after his interview with
Mrs. Fogarty, or what his intcn-
tions may have been, passes our
conjecture.
Sue HungcTfcrd yet remains in
a very prccarious state. In her
deep distress she has found many
personal friends eager to admins:
ter TO her relief and assiS,ance.-
Her recovery may be regarded as
extremely problcmatical. Her
strong constitution, however, vii!
enable her to recover from the Sc
we're Injuries she has sustained.
