JUDGE ORR FOR GOVERNOR. The Spar.
tanburg Ne,o Fra wants Judge Orr nomi-
mated for Governor. Nail his name to
your masthead, then, and we will join
hands with You. OF course, we will have
q Republican Governor, and we are in
for the best we can get. There is no
man in the party we would rather see in
the gubernatorial chair than his Honor
James L. Orr.
We agree with the Era. that with
"good. honest. patriotic men in tho Le-
gislature, and a man OF large experience
and decided ability at the helm," times
will be better. and we hope it will lend
it's aid in procuring only such.

BRoNoH1TIs.-This is an irritation or infism-
nation Of the bronchial tubes, which oarry
the air We breathe into tho lungs. It arises
from o cold settled in the throat, from o.
tArrh extending to these parts. from Borofu-
ious affections, and from severe use Of the
voice. The irritation from this latter cause
commences in the ldrynr and glottis, which
are the organs Of the voice, and, extending
downwards, produces hoarsensss, coughing
aud splitting mucUous matter, sometimes
mixed with blood. It is chiefly dangerous
from it's tendency to spread into the lungs,
| and terminate in consumption. It is In the
cure OF eovete and obstinate cases Of this dis
ease that DR.. PIeroe's Golden Medical Dis
oovery has achieved unparalleled nuccess, and

THAT'S THE WAY THE MONEY Co.'s
They say that Grant has reduced the ma
t;onal debt 5000. 100000 during his ad-
ministration. Yet the records of the
Treasury Department do not show it,
nor do the records of the War Depart
ment show what has become of the mil
lions of dollars seized or turned into
that department during the last FIVE
years. In the House at Washington an
indniry has been raised ns to what has
become of the vast sums OF money paid
into the War Department, and to know
why and how that Department has ex-
pended $105, 500, 900 in excess OF all ap-
propriations within the past five years.
There must be something very rotten in
that Denmark when q single bureau can
pay out Of the United States Treasury,

"The imports of dry goods Mt New

very small inci iease over those OF the
corresponding month last year. The

less than during that period. while the

Tho stock in bond has been increased

ing the same period last year the stock
was reduced 100000. The demand at
that time was moro active than now, aud
tho high rate of gold premium ut pre-.

the Withdrawals to the requirements Of

THE BorroM RAIL ON Tor, SURE.--A
case occurred in this town few days
ago, practically illustrating tho truth OF
the significant rural assertion which we
have placed ut the hend Of this article.
A respectable planter of this County was
arrested upon some frivolous charge
made against him by freedman, and
taken before his sable majesty Golden
Foster. According to the almost uni
versal rule of this dispenser of more
trial than justice, q bond was required.
On looking around tho room, our friend
could SEQ none but colored people-most
OF them his own employees. One OF
them had formerly belonged to him, and
presuming on the old friendship that
onco existed between them, Mr.. B.
asked JEFF. if he would 60 on his bond, ,
to which he readily assented, signed the
bond, for $500, we think, aud set his old
master free. The best of the Joke ia,
you could not collect S2O from jeff if
the bond was forfeited.
In this connection, we will give q
quaint but pointed remark made By a
humorous friend. He snid: Il don't
care much about the bottom rail being
on top, if it was not for the id splin-
ters. They stick like the devil and hurt u

CALIFORNIA CRoPs There has never

when the indications of large crops we're
so general as at present. vast area is

an enormous yield. The best authori.
ties in tho State estimate the wheat crop
at from 30, 600, 900 to 35, 900. 900 bushels
this is from ten to fifteen million bushels
more than the yield of any previous
year. The annual ratio of the increase
of the vineyards has been for the las,
three years As per cent; allowing the
increase of this season to be only 80 pei

added table grapes to the value of $500,

A BRITISH MAN.-The Americus Re-

lowing almost Incredible account Of an
atrocity com uitted in Webster County:
We have been informed that Ferdi-
nand Spann, of Webster County, on Sa-
turday night last, hung his wife, who
had but one leg. and ran off with girl
who was living in his family. The body
of the unfortunate woman WAS found in
bed, aud plow line near by with some
of her hair twisted about it, plainly
showing that it had been used for the
diabolical purpose. After committing the
deed, Spaun took to the swamps near his
residence. ns indicated by his tracks
The girl (uhose name our informer did
not give) had also disappeared, with all
her clothing, and it is generally sup
posed by their neighbors that they hung
the old woman and eloped together.

It is noteworthy tribute to the press
that both the candidate for President
and the candidate for Vioe-P President on
the Cincinnati ticket wore OF the press
''oraft." Mr.. Greeley commenced his
career as printers apprentice. He was
then g ajourneyman, and then publisher
and editor. Governor Brown founded
the st. Louis Democrat, and made his re-
patation as its editor. On the press,
every day, more and more devolves the
burden OF counsel md direction in all
public and social matters. Independent
journalism fashions legislation, hunts
down roguery, and holds up honesty
wherever it may be found.

ty is dead. The headlight Of the Tri-
bunc has gone out in death. The nation
is draped in mourning, ard all hearts are

word, q fanatic. He did not belong to
that class of Northern politicians who
believed that tie people of the South
had committed an objectionable sin by
going into rebellion. Hewas as free end
willing 20 forgive as he was ready and

which evsaluslei in The liberation Of ihe

better TO let our Southern brethren 60 in
peace than to engage in fratricidal war
to accomplish their freedom" no man OF
intelligence can doubt. Out of the fullness
or his heart such words we're spoken.

logic Of his ui.erance? Let q million
desolate households answer. Permit n

whether Mr.. Greeley was right or not.
let the hordes Of hungry tax-gatherers,
