flow Grant Wont into and gOt Out Of tn,
Wilderness.

Jim Nye, the Senator from Novad
made O grand spread.eagle speech, re-
Gently, showing forth the g!orieu "
General Grnut. He dwolt wi b
special delight on his hero's oampaign
iu Virginia. The correspondent O.
the New York World gives an nc.
count OF the speech, and On this par,
ticular point takes up tho orator, and
shows how Grant got into and out Of
"thc Wilderness" We quote hi>
interesting historical fao.s:
Nye launched into fulsome eulogy
Of Grant Us soldier, and he was par.
ticularly vociferous on Grant and his
oampaisn from the Rupilan to Rich
mond and Appomattox Court House.
1t is not tor tho poor purposes OF
answering Nye, but to anticipate the
thunders of speaker who will be listen.
cd to far aud wide next sum mer, when
they speak of that hideous cam npaign,
that revive the true record Of it here.
"Grant has been in the Wilderness
before," declared Nye, "aud he will
come out Of it as he did before"
How did he come out it2 Let us

Up to the snmo date, tho number Of

Card OF D. Wyatt Aiken.

We find the following card in the
Abboville Press and Banner of last
week. AS it is direct appeal to
planters aud farmers, who compose
The g. eat majority Of our readers, We
lay il before them for their oouside-

Having been p'offered responsible

solely upon the gr"unds that it would

has proven to MS it's virtues, and while
l would not advise an organization
(a Grauge) of this sort iu any oommu-

our plauters aud farmers to unite aud

tee to them that just so soon, if ever,

You will observe, by the enclosed

Of this Order before the public and

our county, or indeed Of the State,
where as many az thirty persons de-

from the social feature of the Order,

the practical advantage accruing from

4 Strange Experience.

Memphis has romance. Once upon
time, very many years ago, John T..
Perkins was sohool boy Of eighteen
ID Kentucky. He Ind q bosom
friend, who, 10 fit of passion, delib.
erately killed another young man.
Upon Perkins evidence alone, tho
boy was convicted Of murder, and
hapged. Stricken with remorse at
having brought about the death Of his
friend, Perkins took solemn oath that
he would never again testify In q case
where his evidence might cause the
infliction of the extreme penalty Of tho
law. Some time since he witnessed o
murder In Memphis, aud, on Monday
week, was brought before q court as
tho principal witness aaainst the mur.
deror. True TO bis oath, he refused
to give o word Of testimony. and was
sent to Jail, whore he says no will re.
main forever rather than testify.

Judge Chase and his Platform.

The Washington c,rresprnr ent of
tho New York Heral'i furnishes an
account Of a plan on foot by the
friends OF Chief Ju,tice Chase to
place him ia the Presidential field. .
1t is proposed to have a meeting at
Purkersburgb, West Virginia, on the
18th of April, and to promulgatc a
declaration Of principles u1on which
his support il to be claimed. The
platform as presented is a sound one
in the main, and adroi,ly avoids giving
offense to Democrats, while it should
be thoroughly acooptn ble to every
anti. Grant Republican.
The purpose of this new move ment
is to send in the name of Judge Chase
to the Cincinnati Convention on
something like equal terms with
Judge Davis.
In any view Of the oase the move.
mcnt is an an important one. 1t will
add to the force of the anti. Grant
Republican current strongly setting
in to sweep the great gift taker from
his .eat.--Aug"sta Constitationalist.

MEETING LAST EVENING

The workingmen's Les que met at the Water
Witch Engine House, last evening. Geo. Day
pre-ided, in the sbsence Of the President II
was expected the answers Of the candidates fOr
the Legislature TO the interrog Atories propound-
ed at former meeting OF the League would
have al been received but owing to the short
ness Of the time allowed il was thought prudent
to postpone action until another week. George
W Roberts announced that the enterrogAting
committee had received answers from four Re-
publicans and three Democrats, but expected
answer from nearly II not quite all the rest dur
ing the week.
The practice of employers shortening the
hours Of labor during the winter season, with q
corresponding decrease Of wages, without the
consent OF the laboring men, was denounced by
Mr.. Roberts. and the question further discussed
by Geo Day, j. L Killgore. Wood, and others
all agreeing that practice was unfair aud upj ust
to the wofkingmen. After full expression OF
opinion George W. Roberts, George Day and
John Devlin were appointed a committee to
draw up protest to be signed by the working.
men OF the city, against the practice complained
OF. After transaction Of other business OF minor
Importance, the League adjourned until We'd
