no member of the organization has JUS
titled their acts on that ground. 1t is
| one of the preteXts made by those who
were wiling to urge a plausible excuse
for outrages which admit of none. But
to remove alleged impediments to the
local governments encountered by the
existence of disabilities to hold Office,
and being satisfied that there should
be Il general removal of them, with
proper conditions and exceptions, we
recommend the passage ola law for
! that purpose, agreeing in the recon-
mendation made by the President to
exclude from its benefits any great
criminals distinguished above all 9TH
ers for the part they took in opposi-
ton to the Government"
The report of Representative Steven
son, from the subcommittee on debts
and election laws of the late insurrec-
tionary States, says Ex-Governor Bull
lock, of Georgia, sent Il letter more re-
markable for argument against the
proceedings of the subcommittee as Il
breach of State rights than for the facts
furnished, and Governor Reed, of
Florida, declines to answer it at all,
though he has forwarded to Il member
of the subcommittee several of his mes
Sages. He protested against the in
VasiOn of the rights of the State of
Florida.
Generally where their inquiry has
been resented, evatlcd, or ignored, they
discovered reasons for cOnccalment
which convinced them that officials are
more concerned about their own digni-
ty than that Of the State.
In South Carolina the State TreaSur-
or has neglected all inquiries. The
Governor has answered promptly, hut
sent such extraordinary statements
that they could give little weight to
any.
The general financial view and con-
clusions show the various items of in
crease of the State debts since 1860, Civ
ing Il total State debt and liabilaties
existing, and prospective, and Confetl-
crate, and commercial debt Of s., &c.
145,955 so.
Here was Il burden which must have
crushed the people of the South and
reduced them to general bankruptcy.
1t was $2lS, ,45G,:sS4 AZ greater than the
national debt. At its maximum, $2l7,-
32O, $40 50 more than the assessed value
of all property in the States, in 1866,
less slaves, and 81 ,372, 1926 so more
than the assessed value of all property
in the eleven States in 1865. They had
neither money nor credit, nor sufficient
means of subsistence.
If the government had left the peo-
pie of the South to their own devices
they must have fallen into anarchy and
ruin, but before the war ended the
Government had begun to feed and
clothe, and millions were distributed
in supplies. In 1865 a bureau was Or
ganized for this purpose, and expended
in relief, education, and aid to the peo-
pie OF the South of both colors and all
conditions $13,23O, 277 40. Millions were
donated by charitable associations and
citizens of the North. The document
concludes with a report of the election
laws of the late insurrectionary States.

The marshy islands forn,etl by these
several water courses afford ground up
on which the fishermen pitch their
camps. Their l,uhitations are rude
structures, made mostly from the leaves
and stalks of the palmetto plant, and
barely serve the purpose of keeping
out the wet and cold. About five hun
dresl OF these people live in this way,
catching the oysters mostly with tongs,
and supplying them to the luggers rs
they arrive during the oyster season,
and Lying as they can upon fish and
birds during the summer.
The difficulty of getting to market
has prevented the grounds to the nortl,
and Mississippi Sound, from being so
much tished over aS those of which
previous mention is made, though we
are informed that in Oyster Bay, Black
Bay and a few other places are equally
as plentiful and of II good flavor ns
those from Sarataria.
The ti,vorlte bedding grounds, named
in the order Of their popularity, nre as
follows: Cooks Bayou, Grand Bayou,
Oyster Bayou, Bayou IAChutc, Bayou
Chalon, Quatrc Bayou, Grand Lake,
Bay Champagne, Bay dIslc and Bal
you Andrew. The oysters arc taken
from their natural bed in the summer
time, and after being carefully cullcd
over, are beddcd at those points for use
in the winter, having fattcncd and ac-
quired m improved flavor by the
change of habitatiOn.
The oyster bOats from the coast come
in through the Company Canal, about
opposite Jefferson City, landing at the
head of st. Phillip street those from
the lakes, catching II smaller and info
riOr oyster about the mouth of Lake
lsorgne, come into the Old Basin, head
of Basin street, /icxxysne.

There is in the Auburn IN. W State
prison Il convict who for nearly ten
years ha been shivcring under the
gallOws. The prisoner was convicted
of murder in 1862, and sentenced to he
hanged. Under the provisions of the
old law the Governor could order his
execution ut any time, and meanwhile
the culp lprit was to- be confined in the
State prison. He is still there, for no
Governor has ordered his execution,
but is liable at any time to he taken
out and Str,lnglrd to death. He is said
to he in the habit of thanking God
every night for saving him from the
gallows for that day. Th" poor wretch
must have suffered II Thousand deaths
already, and if he is not to he hung il
would be an net of the harrSt Justice to
commute his sentence and relieve him
of his horrible dread.

THE oTHAIR1IEsroN NEWS: SATURDAY, OCTOBER

FUSED UP."-what Is: the precise meaning
Of this familiar phrase when employed to
signify an unnatural condition of body and
mind? 1t means exhaustion, laDguor, want
of vital energy, mental apathy-a pitiable
state of physicai and mental helplessnesS.
The best and, In fact, the only perfectly reia-
BILE panacea for a "rlsed OPP" system is that
most popular and potent Of medicinal stimu-
lants, Hostetter's Stomach bitters. No mat
ter whether the health has been broken down
by excessive labor, over-study, an insalubri-
GUS atmosphere, anxiety, irregularities In
diet, dissipation, or any other cause, this
powerful and pleasant vegetable restorative
will soon recruit the dropping energies Of
nature, restoring tho integrity OF the nerves,
and re-establishing that functional regularity
which is essential to animal vigor and a hope
full frame OF mind. As a cure for debility, IN
all its varied manifestations, Hostetters Stom-
ach Bltters is unapproached by any tonic IN
