Ed. Register: The cars on the Vir-
lyinia and Truckee Railroad, for the
conveyance of passengers end freight,
commenced running to Steamboat on
Sunday morning. Steamboat is now
the liveliest place in the county, and
remindsoHe OF the early days of Reno
and other railroad towns, when the
halo of glorious future surrounded
them. Buildings are going up at
railroad speed, teamsters are fiocking
in and securing quarters for the COM
ing season., and altogether there is a
business air in and about Steamboat
that was never known before. Cullins
has a share in everything to be car
ried on there except in Granger &
Hess new store, and one of III sar-
castle citizens proposes th&t the name
of the place be called ''Half-SEterest,"
instead of Steamboat.

Bowen and Isig0Iny.

We gather from the Charleston Ne,os
that the great bisamy case against the
notorious Bowen has begun. Bowen
plead "not guilty" Mr.. II. L. Ander-
son, Clerk of the Circuit Court Of
Wauneka County, Florida, identified
Dowenand Tabitah Parkc, his Florida
wife. From all accounts, Bowen has
two other divorced wives, and one
his present wife-who has been the
unconscious means Of bringing her con-
temptible husband into his embarrass-
ing position.
Would it not be something note
worthy if Bowen was convicted q? Then
Whittemorc and Bowen, "par mobile
tratum," great lights Of South Caro-
lima Republicanism, will both be dis
graced in the eyes of the entire coun'
try; Congress will probably purge itself
of Bowen, and we will have the honor
of sending Bowen the Bigamist and
Whittemore the Wicked, to our State
Assembly, possibly from neighboriOe
Counties. When that occurs, will ii
not be glorious day for South Carroll
ma! Yea, verify.
Then will be the time for a second
food, or somc other destructive agency
to come aud destroy all such cattle.

GENERAL LEES SuccEssoR.-On

GENERAL LEES SUocEssoR.-On
February 6, interesting event occurred
in Lexington, Va. This was the in
auguartion of General Custis Lee as
President of the institution lately pre-
sided over by his illustrious father. A
large audience assembled in the chapel"
The religious exercises were conducted
by Rev. DR.. Pendleton, late Chief of
Artillery in the army of Northern Vir-
ginia. The Rector of the Board of
Trustees then delivered an impressive
address to the Board Trustees, the Fac
ulty and the students of the University.
He referred in terms of the highest
eulogy to the late President Of the in.
stitution, and closed with expressions of
high appreciation of the qualities and
virtues of the son who was TO succeed
the deceased father. Said the speaker;
in conclusion, "it only remains for me-
now, as the organ of the Board, to ad-
minister to you, Gen. George Washing.
ton GUSTS Lee, the official oath Of
off :e." Gen. Lee replied in becoming
terms, and took the oath of Office. The
new President is but thirty years old;
aud is said to possess the highest quali-
fications for the position to which he
has been elevated. Itis expected that
his administration will be brillioat and
successful.

OFFICE OF A. G.. KAUFMAN,

NO. 20 BROAD STREET,
CHARLESTON, S. c., Feb. 9, 1871.
cordially commend to those gentle
men of business, bankers, brokers, mer-
chants, etc., here and elsewhere, whose
nutice the Chronicle, as financial and
commercial monitor, may have escaped,
to look careful ly into the merits Of this
paper, even now accepted by many as
the standard journal of America in mat
ters pertaining to finance and commerce
its extended and extending circula-
ton being the strongest testimony in
its favor. would here take occasion
to remak, in passing, that its editors,
personally known to myself,) are
gentlemen of intelligence, refinement
and culture. This accounts somewhat
for the paper being conducted on the
exactcst principles Of honor and in
tcgrity, and with an ability, vigor and
independence seldom equaled and never
excelled.
So generally known is this paper,
that no bankers or merchants library
throughout the lengtht and breadth of
this vast country is considered COM
plete without it. 1t can be found on
almost every desk-always faithful
companion, friend and guide. l do
not pretend to argue the merits of this
paper, but simply ask the skcptic to
read and be convinced.
I have been requested by the epublish
ers to act for them in this section, and
have consented in consideration of the
many courtcsies they lave extended to
me. I will receive subscription money
to same, (Sl0 per annum,) and show
or ship specimen copies of the paper to
to any who may desire to subscribe.

Through want of space, wo were
compelled to omit in our last issue, a
notice of the very fine bell with which
the members of the Presbyterian
Church, had presented themselves.
1t weighs about thirteen hundred
pounds, has a very sweet tone, and is
q great addition to the Sabbath Bells.
After considerable diff Guilty, it was
hung in the spire Of the Church, and

More OutrnGcS.

Tuesdays mail brought us tldlnss OF
more outrages from the upcountry.--
1t appears that on Sunday night band
of armed and disguised men, numbering
about five hundred, surrounded Union
Jail, tied and gagged the jailor, opened
the cells, and took out ten colored men,
six of whom, arrested for the murder OF
Stevenson, they shot. Two others,
under the charge of arson, they hung,
and the other two arc missing. This
report brought to Columbia by Mr.
Hagood, member of the Legislature
from Pickens, was confirmed by the
Sheriff of Union County. Another re-
port from York, states that the house
ofCapt. Ferries, commanding a white
militia Company at Kings Mountain,
was attacked by Ku.Klax, who seized
sixteen stacks of arms. A letter from
Abbeville received in Columbia reports
the killing one Of the County Com
missioners.
We arc heartily sick Of reading OF
these horrible violations of law and or
der, and deeply do We regret that we
are called upon to chronicle another in
stance of them. 1t seems that the
people of the up country have been
badly overrun by the legislation of the
dominant party, and fragrant acts of
Injustice have been done them, but all
this does not begin to justify any set OF
men in thus setting all law at defiance,
and perpetrating outragcs which make
US shuddcr in the recital of them. They
are doing not only themselves, but the
entire State, nay, the whole South, a
cruel wrong, when they thus fan the
flames of hatred which burn bright
enough in Congress aud at the North,
without any assistance. We therefore,
protest against these violations Of peace
and order and call upon all men who
love their State to deneunce and put
them down.

that he had been retained as attorney
by the Chairman, Joseph Crews and
that he endorsed the accounts because
he was requested by Joseph Crews to do
so as an Attorney"
The statement simply amounts to
this, that Mr.. Crews, as Chairman OF
the Committee, drew from the State
Treasury, and therefore out of the pock-
cts of the people of the State, the sum
of 81, 500 for the ostensible purpose Of
service rendered by Mr. Dunbar, as at
torney of the Committee, while MIR.
Dunbar testi6cs he never received one
dollar, and other members Of the Com.
mittee declared on oath that MIR. Dun
bar was never with their consent, or to
their knowledge, employed by the Com
miltee as either attorney or, clerk.
And this is the result of the investiga.
ton by a Republican Committee, on
the conduct of Republican member
who has been one of the prominent
shriekers of outrages at the south. The
facts point their own moral. they
scarcely need further comment. They
clearly illustrate the character Of those
who govern the south, and who control
against its people the sentiment, and
the faith of the North. 1t is necessary
the truth should be known, for how
ever deaf an car the present may turn
to the real voices around them this at
last must have its perfect sway. The
scales must eventually fall from the eyes
of the North.

BERIAH BROWN AND THE NEW
DISPENSATION.

Mrs. Laura DeForce Gordon lectured
at Olympia recently, and here is Beriah
Browns comment:
As for the subject matter of her lee
ture we hardly know how to treat il; il
seems to us too absurd to argue against,
and yet il is becoming too formidable to
be laughed at. The abstract right of q
woman to follow the bent of her own
tastes and inclinatiOns In many ways
not now regarded as strictly conven-
tional, cannot be logically controverted.
We cordially agree with our brother
when he says he does not know how to
treat the subject of woman suffrage. He
hasn't yet conceived the first principles
of harmonious government, and of course
the ethics Of such government "seem
absurd" as viewed from his standpoint.
He tells another truth when he says
the movement sis becoming too formid-
able to be laughed at" Is it possible
that he has just made this discovery !?
We have known it for half score of
years.
He acknowledges that "the abstract
right of woman to follow the dictates
of her own Judgment "cannot be logic
ally cOntroverted."
So much for the good, hard sense i'm
his article. Now look at his next para
graph:
We are not disposed to dispute the
right of any woman to wear trousers.
ride straddle, chew and smoke tobacco.
drink lager, attend caucuses, cut her
hair short and hold street discussions on
politics.
Now, logical lady reader, look hard at
the next sentence. (The Italics are ours. y:
Al this ,Ce do ourselves tCithOW ann
sense Of iDlprOpriety; bm tce certainly
tCOUtd not chOOse q icOndR Of such tastes
and habits as the mother of our children.
We do wonder If Beriah's married? If
he is We'll wager biscuit that his wife
secretly objects to such mass of pu-
trescence as the father of her children.
If she doesn't, she's fool; and if she be
a sensible woman and consequently does
unavailably object, no wonder her master
fears her coming political equality with
himself. Are these drinking, chewing,
smoking lepers fit to make the laws that
govern pure and noble women? And
can women live as wives with such and
fail to be contaminated? Nav, verify.
But women can legislate in a political
capacity for the removal of wicked and
abominable temptations without danger
of such contamination.
