Religious Views Of ME-. Greeley.


In spite Of his absorption in politics, litera-
ture, and secular cares, Dir. Greeley was
man of earnest religious convictions, and
although without any trace of superstition In
feeling, or aseeticism in conduct eherisheda

than il nc hatitualiy wore cassock or eowI.
When he was only ten years old he was led
by passage III ancient history to reflection
OF the character Of the. Divine Government.
In The course of his childish speeulations he
became convinced of the essential benignity
OF the Divine character. Atthat time ne had
never seen one who called himself Uniyer-
sliia, nor had read d page by any writer Of
that denomination. Soon atterward, how
ever, he became familiar with the course Of
argument made use Of by the advocates.

which belligerent the largest
share of blame belongs but We
do declare that the fight now in
progress there is an insult to de-

sense, and an utter disgrace to
the whole country, as well as the
State itself. Here is, nominally
at least, a sovereign common.

federal Union, whose Senators

the nation at large-actually
given over to the tender mercies
of desperate adventurers and
reckless vagabonds, bent only
upon the accomplishment of their
selfish ambition. Louisiana to-

there was no other way to beat
the other.n

years ago. We like to see a fash

so nicely. We like to see young
men very polite and obliging to
other young ladies, wboare scarce
ly civil to their sisters at home

ton are void of deception. We
like to see little boys come to
church in the evening, and amuse
themselves by sticking pins in
their sleepy neighbors---it shows
that they are not burying their
talents in the earth! We like to
see a man invariable throw his

ladies keep their jaws in constant
motion, endeavoring to nasticate
a huge ball of chewing gum----it

a man sporting fast horses, while
he owes the printer and gives
nothing to the minister--it looks
honorable! There are many
other things which we would like
to see, but we forbear.

j. mortimer Carr, member of
the House, was next called. He
testified as follows: -.....
The Hon Mr. Archer-WhenI
was the first time that you were
in DeSoto parish ?
Carr-In Jnly, 1870.
Q.-How long were you there ?
A.-,About two weeks, two
| weeks or ten days.
Q.-Have you been there since
you were elected? '
A.-No, / nave not. ..
He was asked if he had been
offered bribe for a passage of a
bill. He replied no 1 have not.
l do not remember having been
offered bribe. If / did / would
not tell it. "...
After some further questioning,
the Hon. Dir. Archer again asked:
Was there ever any offer made to
| bribe you' ....
A.--Yes; there was a man
once who came to me and offered
to give me bribe, but / turned
away and would not listen to
him. .. ..... ..t ....
Q.-What is the name of that
man? ..... .- p. .... 10.
Al don't want to give his
name; you dent want man to

Hon. Mr.. Archer-But l 20
want you tell his name, sir.
Mr.. Carr-But 1 do not want
to. ..r .=. .....
i Q.-Then you decline
! A.-Yes. sir, / decline.
The Hon. Mr.. Schofield then
asked him if there had been any
charges made against him about
altering or raising warrants
He replied that the only charge
he had heard was made by Mr..
Wands on the floor of the House,
and he had exonerated himself
from that charge, aud proved that
he was the defrauded party.
Q.-You the defrauded party
A-Yes, sir, they were raised
when l bought them.
The Hon. Mr.. Arcler-Do you
recollect from whome those war
rants came7
A-No, sir, they were bought
through other parties, we cannot
buy warrants ourselves.
Q.-Why? ..
A.-Because it would raise
some talk.
He said that Mr.. Devices and
himself were partners in specula-
ton, and that they always bought
warrants through a third person.
The Hon. Mr.. Archer again re-
ferred to the alleged offer of a
bribe, and asked: "Don't You
think Mr.. Carr, that the man who
offered you a bribe placed an in
dignity upon you?"
A.-Well, | don't know; l turn
ed off and did not listen to him.
Q.-But l ask you, sir, did you
not think he had offered you an
indignityi
A.-Well, | don't know he did ii
in such a genteel way that ]
thought no more about it.
Q.-Then he insulted you in such
a genteel manner that you did not
mind it !? Laughter.)

Co!ored Ku- Klux in Beaufort County.

On Tuesday of last week, near Graham
Vile, in this county, young man named
Farr, while riding toward the town on
mule, was halted by voice from thicket
by the roadside. Turning his head he
saw a man, armed with a gun. emerge
from the bushes $, whose face was concealed
by a quantity of grey moss, his hands
showing him to be that of a negro. The
young man spurring up his animal to
escape was fire upon by the highwayman.
The bail passed through tn ppel of his
coat and entered the shoulder or the mule,
without, however, intlictlng a disabling
wound. Seeing that the attempt was
futile the Ku, Klux disappeared into the
woods.
On the same afternoon lady named
Dupont, living near Grahamvile, return
ing to her house after brief absence, saw
a man jump from window. Over his
face was a white cloth, with eye holes in
it. His hands, also, showed him to be a
colored man. He had robbed the house

THE BEAUFORT REPUBLICAN, APRIL 10, 1872
Tornado near PocOtaligO.

A severe tornado passe ,ver the planta-
tions in the vicinity of Pocotaligo on the
9th inst. A. correspondent of the Courier
describing it, says:
Between two and three o'clock on that
day FIVE minutes breeze passed through
the fields, rumpling things generally. Un-
mistakabe indications of coming storm
drove us in doors, and we had scarcely
entered the house, when peculiar roaring
sound caused each of us to eXclaim: IVY hat
is that? Our query was not addressed to
the wind, but from it came the answer Be-
fore any one perfectly realized what was
going On without all was over. A tornado,
with Implying force, had done its work.
The barn shed (plate. and alb was thrown
fifty feet or more, and completely demolished;
Our entire line of fencing was scattered, and
trees fifteen inches in diameter were snap
ped and thrown twenty feet. The. fields in
every direction are covered with branches OF
trees, which must have come from distance.
These are the most apparent effects OF the
storm. The damage Was considerable.
The phenomenon appears to, have been
very similar to that which passed near Beau
fort in 1865, destroying the quartermaster' S
village and killing and wouuding several
persons

the proceeds of lot of cotton, seized under
the Captured and Abandonee Property Act
of 1868, an appeal from the Court of Claims,
and was argued at the last term Of the court.
The Court of Claims dismissed the petition
on the ground that it did not aver that the
claimant had not given aid or comfort to the
rebellion, and that it did not sufficiently aver
executive pardon. The Chief Justice held
(the same as in the case of Armstrong vs..
United States, recently decided, that the
Presidents proclamation of December 25,
1868, granting pardon and amnesty uncon-
ditionaly and without reservation, relieves
the claimants, in all cases under the Captured
and Abandoned Property Act, from proof of
adhesion to the United States during the
late war; and the judgment dismissing the
petition was reversed.
1t will he seen that this is the second de-
cision of the kind that has been rendered,
and already many persons in the South have
taken advantage of it. Under these decis-
ions most of the property taken at the South
during the war can be reclaimed.

ANOTHER BURGLARY.

The burglars are encouraged. The
ease with which the attempt upon the
house of Diana Chisolm was CLOSED over
leads the fraternity to think it a safe and
profitable business. The house of 81. G.
Judd was entered on Saturday night. The
robber entered the sleeping room of Mr..
Judd and carried off his clothing, fifty
dollars in money, gold watch aud his
keys. The next night the clerks Office
at the court house was entered by means
of the keys obtained the night before at
Mr.. Judd's. Nothing was obtained as
far as known. We recommend our citi-
zens to keep sharp look out upon these
fellows and shoot them on sight. Kill
them first and try the case afterwards.
Old Nick will not pardon them out.

.RassiYism in South Carolina.

The course to be pursued by the Demo
Gratis of South Carolina in the Coming can
yass for State officers is probably marked
out by the utterances Of the Charleston
Ne,cs and the Columbia PIe,ir. The
Ph@ai;r, in a carefully prepared article, de-
elared that
1.-The field will be left entirely open to the
Republicans IL the approaching campaign,
to effect such reforms in their own ranks as
they may have the wish and ability to do
They will be left perfectly free and un-
trammelled by any political antagonists, to
select from tn ir own numbers the most
virtuous and intelligent that their ranks af-
ford"
The Phenir believes that no inconSidera-
bic number of colored and white Republicans
are heartily tired Of the reckless legislation
and the rottenness of the State government
and that they will make an effort to present
a ticket composed of honest and capable
Republicans in opposition to the regular
nominations if the latter should prove to be
no improvement upon those now in Office
In case such ticket is presented the De-
mecracy are certain to support it by their
votes, if not upon the stump, Substantial
ly the same course is advocated by the h'e,cs
and finds favor with most of our exchanges
in every part of the State.
This passive policy is doubtless the very
strongest card the opposition can play. If
carried out the regular nominees will not
walk over the course with the ease which
thirty thousand Republican majority would
seem to warrant. The only way to prevent
such a split in our party, and let that "old
possum, ," the Democracy, die in fact, is TO
put forward such ticket as will obtain the
endorsement of honest men of every party
