aH Our statement with regard TO Sturgeon 3
receipt to Staley, is true, and our denun-
citation of Sturgeon was in his character
as a robber, Independently Of his politi.
cal status, which We however think is pri-
ma facie evidence of his fitness for the
calling. The News information as to
the TIMES asking for radical patronage,
is false IN TOTO. j. as ,.

ENTERTAINMENT.

We understand that a company of
young gentlemen are making prepa-
rations to give dramatic entertain
msnt at this place, at an early day.
This is good news for Orangeburg. 9th
er towns boast of such organizations and
why cannot Orangcburg. Let us have
the entertainment, by all means, young
gentlemen.

~ lIt'has Been, for several. years past, the
Radical cry throughout tho South, that
Democracy is dead, that the issues which
edgase it vitality we're crushed out by the
war. Though we by no means assent to
bhany such statement, it is.not our purpose
b to discuss the truth or falsity of the prop
osition: but it is a question which we would
PROFOUND to our readers; viz: are not the
proceedings ofthe dominant party south
4 equally opposed toiprinciple ofany sort,
whether democratic or republican We
eoathinkIthere can be no doubt to any look
er ON, that in all the Southern States Re
: publicanism is dead cook in the pit, and
u TINT under the name Of Republicans, and
under cover Of Republican bayonets and
eda da1Republieanized constitution, the carpet.
,e1bag politicians and renegade Southerners
who have been spewed into prominence By
the submersion of our liberty, in the tide
n1 Of civil war, carry on high game of the
o. moetainfernal robbery that an over-pow-
q cred people was ever compelled to undergo.
'ii This robbery is not confined to the leg
islative hail. where God knows it is bad
enough; but penetrates to the lowest me-
malls in epetty offices scattered through
} Hut the b7!ways and crossroads, over the
length and breadth Of our most unfortu-
q senate State. The Trial Justices swindle by
.'overchargc; the Deputy Treas,irers steal;
< the County Commissioners embezzle; the
candidates for Office bribe and stuff boxes;
.a7the Commissioners of Election make false
Ifsturnsi the Senators take bribes, and even
the officers of the judiciary ore not above
suspicion ,atad mE .n
Snh This. mark you, cannot be called a par.
tizann picture. 1t is butts a recapitulation
of what they say of each other. The lad
3fder of eminence is openly surmounted by
descent into felony, and thescenc of rival
-dfy is changed from the field of honor and
d integrity. to one of successful theft aud
barefaced venalism and perjury. Conscious
. Of their deliberate reimbursement, they
, blush not, but faunt it in the face of hon.
est poverty with boastful impudence: and
this not only in Columbia, but nearly ev-
cry county-seat is afflicted with some vel
veted, brass-ringed. greenj njewelled, self.
important thief and liar-boastful adhe-
rent OF the dominant politics of the day,
Radicalism, the insolent, full blood
j" whelp of puritanical rcpublicanism!
'a' Surely, the day cannot be far off when
civilization for elfpreservation, will rally
and reestablish law for virtues sake, and
tighten the rope Of justice around the
necks of these reprobates. g

"HILLSBORoUcH.'

Our Washington correspondents having referred, last week, to the portion of Dr. Hollands new serial, entitled "Arthur Bonnicastle, which describes "Hillsbo- rough," we copy the same in full. Such of our Washington readers as recognize anything familiar and interesting in the description should subscribe at once for Scribners Magazine, commencing with story begins:
 Toward the close of the afternoon, we came in sight of Hillsborough, with it's two churches. and it's cluster of embowered white houses. It was perched, like many New England villages, upon the top of the highest hill in the region, and we en- tered at last upon the long acclivity that led to it. Halfway up the hill, we saw before us light open wagon drawn by two gray horses, and bearing gentleman and lady who were quietly chatting and laughing together. As we drew near to them, they suddenly stopped, and the gentleman, handing the reins to his com panion, rose upon his feet, drew 8 rifle to his eye and discharged 1t at some object HI tuO AO4uSs III IIUOIC AOS bounced out of the wagon, and, striking rather heavily upon the ground, rolled over and over three or four times, and then, gaining his feet, went for the game. Our own horse had stopped, and as wild as the little dog, leaped from the chaise, and started to follow. When came up with the dog, he was making the most ex-. travagant plunges at wounded wood chuck, who squatted, chattering and show ing his teeth. I seized the nearest weap- on in the shape of a cudgel that I could find, and dispatched the poor creature, and bore him in triumph to the gentle man, the little dog barking and snapping at the game all the way. ssWen done, my lad I have seen boys that were afraid of woodchucks. Toss him into the ravine; he is good for noth- ing" said the man of the rifle.
 Then he looked around, and, lowing to my father, told him that as he was fond of shooting he had undertaken to rid the farms around him of the animals that gave their owners so much trouble. ''It is hard upon the woodchucks," he added, 'but kind to the farmers" This was ap- parently said to defend himself from the suspicion of being engaged in cruel and wanton sport
 At the sound of his voice, the tired and reeking horse which my father drove whinnied, then started on, and, coming te

RAILWAY SPEED.

Fifty and sixty miles an hour for
railway travel Is oftener talked about
than realized. A speed OF sixty miles
an hour for a regular passenger train
has never been attempted, except In
one instance, and that on a wide seven
foot gauge In England. This rapid
speed pleased travellers very much,
and many willingly paid the large
extra charge for being shot along over
the ground at a rate so great as to rem
der the w~ay-stations OF the accommo-
dalton trains almost Invisible. But

valuable collection OF art cver known
In China.
a letter from Yokohama says the
cause of the destruction Of the mail
steamer America by fire, has been
thoroughly investigated before the
United States Consul, assisted By the
Minister and senior naval officer, and
the conclusion arrived at Is that they
arc convinced that the fire was the re-
suit Of intention and not Of accident.
The inducemcnt might have arisen
from antipathy toward the company
or some Of its officers, or from the fact
that the Chinese passengers were so
generally supplied with large sums Of
money. This may have become known
on shore and induced some wretch to
fire the ship for the sake Of an oppor-
tunity Of robbing these people during
the eonfagration. Two cargo of boats
that had been alongside when the fire
broke out, were lett In charge Of tho
japanese by their officers, who boarded
the ship to help extinguish the fire.
These boats the japanese sailors. In n
cowardly manner, set adrift, lending
no hand toward rescuing either the
Chinese or even their own officers.

Customs at Yokohama, has been ap-

taR1uNE FROM An ACCIDENT.

The New York correspondent Of the
Philadelphia Record says: An Incident
Is related In regard to Noah Thorpe
Pike, an old gentleman OF seventy
two, who died last June worth $780,
600. He came from Faideld. Conn.,,
forty years ago. with but fifty cents In
hi. pocket, and was a journeyman tai.
lor by trade. He struggled with adj
yersity for some time, and was, n
day In a Broadway lottery office, with
his infant daughter. Elisabeth, two
years old, in ILLS arms. While nc
talked with the proprietor the child
took a ticket from the counter and
chewed 1t. The lottery man withdrew
the ticket, and told Pike that he eX-
pected him to buy It. as he could not
sell It to any one else. Pike unwil.
linply paid one dollar and a half for
the ticket and left. That same night
the number drew $4,000. That was
the foundation of Pixies fortune. He
invested the principal part Of tho
money In real estate, and traded In
that specles Of property till the time
of his death. His will Is contested.
Mr.. Lucas, a Presbyterian clergyman,
and husband Of the former child, Eliz-
abeth. persuaded the old man that he
was morally bound to leave Mrs. Lu-
cas- the "a. 500. which she had been the
means Of winning for him, together
| with interest and compound Interest
on the money for forty years, indie
pendently Of the regular share Of his
property, to which she was entitled as
one of his children. His son, George
8. Pike, contests the will, on the
ground that the old man had become
Of unsound mind after the death Of his
wife. George had been bequeathed
only the interest on $4,000 during his
iifn
