by the name Of Susie Phillips.
She obtained her livelihood By
braiding straw and fitting boots.
She guarded her huckleberry pas

lady died FIVE or six years ago, at
an advanced age. and at her re-

and buried with her in her grave.

would be Of service in looking up
the pedigree Of the Phillips family,
and last week the grave was

AN IMMORTAL COMPLIMENT
The New York World has this
happily-conceivcd and admirable
paragraph:
IF the wandering death ded ut
terances Of the two great Confede-
rate chicftains, 'Stonewalp Jackson
and Robert Z. Lee, may be consid.
cred rs final upon the matter, then
the late Confederate General, a. P.
Hill. who lost his life at the clos
ing battle Of the war, must be &C
cepted by history as the most
trusted coadjator Of these eminent
commanders. In his dying mo-
ments, Jackson exclaimed, Send

Upon his death bed, At Lexington,
General Lee, as the telegraph
states, his mind reverting to the
bloody events OF the war, once
ordered his tent to be struck, and
at another time desired Hill! 10 be

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 delirlum,
but more solumn for that reason.
that stamps General A. P. Hill as
a man whose presence was to be
desired, and whose fidelity was
assured. No higher compliment

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, appropriatings $685.
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 (s4OO,OOO) dollars, as
simply enormous for one session
of the Legislature. 1t is beyond
the comprehension Of any one,
how the General Assembly could
legitimately expend one-half that
amount OF money. 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 men,
bers both of the House and Sen
ate, have expressed their surprise
at finding the appropriation n
changed from one hundred and
twenty-five thousand, (sl25, ,0OO)
dollars, as it was believed TO have
passed, to that oftwo hundred and
sixty-fve thousand dollars $685.
O00) dollars. 1regret the necessity
Of returning the act without my
approval, on the last day Of the
session, but to do otherwise, I feel
that | would be recrcant TO the
dnties imposed upon me, by be-
coming q party to q wrong by
which the whole people would be
made to suffvr.
might give may other cogcnt
reasons why this bill should not
become a law, but time prevents
my doing other than giving it my
unqualified disapproval, believing
that the members of the General
Assembly will, themselves, correct
an error that must have crept into
the bill clandestinely in it's en-
rollment.
Very respectfully,
ROBERT K. SCOTT,
Governor.

THE SUBSISTENCE OF ARMIES
1t is stated that during every
twcnty-four hours each army corps
of the German forces consumes
$4,000 pounds of bread, l3,44O
pounds Of rice or barley, 70 oxen,
or l3,440 pounds Of bacon, 2,ol6
pounds of salt, $500 pounds OF col
fee, 1914 pounds Of oats, 336pounds
of hay, $500 quarts of ardent spir-
its. and $500 fluid ounces OF orange
bitters, or some similar tincture.
to be taken with the spirits. In
addition, there are supplied for
every days consumption, 6'2
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 given
above.

New Enforcement Bill.

The Washington correspondent
of the Baltimore GA=ette says {:
Those who have watched closel V
the stealthy movements Of the
Radicals, need not be told that l
civil war will be riSked rather than
power surrendered at the behcst of
The ballot box. Tie encroach
ments Of Congress and the Execu-
tive move steadily along. The
new Enforct mcnt bill, which has
just passed the House, is but ano.
thcr of a series of measuscs de-
signed to drive the people to cx-
tremcs. With q fourth Of the ic-
gal voters Of the country, the re-
volutionory leaders think they
can perpctuatc their rule ; and un-
less the people display more con-
Germ and earnestness than they
have for the past six years, the
programme must undoubtedly sue
ceed, for a time at least-pcrhaps
for the next decade.
Whatever may be thought OF
said to the contrary, it will appear
plain enough when an impartial
historian shall have written Of the
origin Of the war Of l8G1-'65, that
hostilities were premeditated and
and forced by the Radical leaders.
1t is notorious that, for this ex-
press purpose, ,M1r. Seward was
thrown overheard at the Chicago
Convention in 1850, and {: man of
"more nerre" selected in his stead.
Then, as now, Northern hate was
appealed to-then, as now, the
! principle fforce 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. Vir-
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, ,000troops, 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 Kn-Klux: 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 dcs-
perate Robcspierres, Dantons and
Marats as Morton, Chandler and
Butler have been given the rcins
undisgulsedIy, and with apparen-
tly almost the universal consent
of the Radical party in Congress.
Senator Blair touched indirectly,
these points, in his great speech,
with a 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 a solution.
1t is utterly impossible that a Gov
ernment can be permanent, found
ed, as it will probably be, in a few
years, upon the principle of mill
tary force, and yet remain under
the forms of Ee ublicauism. Let
the people stand ready to meet the
crisis when the mask is thrown
aside.

The Staley-Hungerford Af-
fair.

The Savannah Ne,cs, has the
following concerning the Staley-
uungcrtord 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 trc:
pidation, dressed in male costume,
and demanded protection for her
houschciG. She was evidently
very much excited. and very ea-
ger that policc guard should b.
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 IungcrfoTd's
charge. Mrs. Fogarty said she
knew nothing Of them, but would

pers Were there be should have

stating ''it was all right, and he
must see her anyhow" Mrs. F.
garty demurred, stating that in
her present weakened condition

and least of all him. At this
point Mrs. Fogarty noticed the
CLEAN Of a knife. aid said. .!"God
bless me! What is tha, y It's

replied StaIcy; "but. never you
mind-that's all right. I want to
scc you privately. Step back here
for 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 prom
Use me solemnly that you won't
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" Staiey again caution
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-
liccman to remain upon her prem:
ises until he was relieved, thus re-
lieving for the time being 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 Hungcrford yet remains in
a very prccarious state. In her
deep distress she has found many
personal friends eager to adminis=
ter TO her relief and assi>tance.-
Her recovery may be regarded as
extremely problematical. Her
strong constitution, however, will
enable her to recover from the Sc
we're injuries she has sustained.
