The SUSPENSION OF TILE House OF r..
Z. & A. STuARr.-The New York Dailv
Bulletin says:
Owing to the present low margin be-
tween the prices of raw and refined su-
gars, the firm Of r. L. g. A. Stuart, su-
gar refners, has suspended business,
being unwilling to continue at present
rates. This suspension, it is under
stood, is only temporary, as business
will be resumed as soon as prices war
rant it. In the meantime, the opportu-
nifty has been taken to make repairs. A
large force Of men nte at work in the re-
Anery, and before business is begun
agaia several changes will have been
made. This temporary suspension of
business has given rise to many rumors
of failure, all of which are without any
foundation at all in fact The credit Of
this house never stood higher than it
does at present, and the only cause for
the suspension is, that it does not pay
to continue.

high crimes and misdemeanors, was in
troduced into the House of Representa-

Ohief Magistrate of the commonwealth,
has been the chief robber of the public
Treasury. There is indeed but the re-
motest, if any hopes, Of successful i'm
peaohment of Gov. Scot. before the pre-

acknowledged venality of q majority OF
that body, and their savish subserviency
to the power and patronage of Scott,
not few of tho most influential and

ANOTHER OuTRAaE UroS TIE PEOPLE.
We learned from Saturdays papers that
Governor Scott had appointed John J.
Wilson, alias No Nose Wilson, County
Commissioner, rice NJ. G. Dunlap, re-
nlooed to parts unkno'on. If the Go
vernon had felt disposed to consult the
wishes OF the taxpayers OF this County
in making this appointment, he would
not have forced upon us man utterly
devoid of character and principle, and
altogether incompetent to discharge the
duties of the Office that has been given
him as reward for his devotion to the
ring - Winnsboro Ne,ps.

A Norwegian, aged seventy. at White
Bear Lake, Michigan, had the most ex-
traordinary fight with q wolf on record,
n few days since. The animal tackled
him, and he fought, first with q club and
then with pitch fork, and finally he
got rope around the neck of the beast,
and Herewith drew him to carpenters

Then he got gun and killed him.
Elder Alfred Bennett, of North Caro-

in danger Of becoming excluded church
members: "When sheep is excluded
from the fold it will bleat around until

out IF its pen it will root around and try
to upset it,"
Next Friday is set down for the exccu-

A SOUND ANSWER. "A Texas merchant
writes to the New York Journal of Com
m'ercs to ask the following question
Suppose that with an unsuilied reputa.
tion, it has taken me six years to make
an honest living, while in that time I
have seen thirty-two scamps go through
the door OF insolvency into an improve
ment Of their estate, how long will it be be-
fore will lay by something for old age?"
The Journal answers: ga man who has
lived an active, unsulied life, in The
midst OF such temptations for six years,
has already laid by something for the
future; and there is One who will keep
that he has committed to Him, 80 that
he will find that he has "a good founda-
tion against the time to come A credit
on that book is sure provision for old

peared ia the columns OF tba Winnsboro
~NeUs calling the young men Of the
State to the rescue. j, The idea, in some
respects, is q good one, and should be
entertained by. both the old and the
young. The campaign Of next autumn
must be desperate one, if honesty is
to win the day against corruption and
villainy. Affairs have reached such q
crisis that they cannot remain stationary.
The revolution must go still. further; the
ring must exhibit still further evidence
of their "dnbridled audaoity, ,t,orselse q
revulsion will, of necessity, ensue, and
the innate qualities OF honesty and
virtue once more assert themselves, and
take the proud position they once held
in our brighter days. The former alter
natiyeis impossible; there is no insult
which has not been offered; there is no
villainy that has been left undone; there
is no crime which has not been perpe-
trated; there is no Outrage upon q de-
fenceless people that has not been in
,tiicted. I'VE can congratulate ourselves
that our cupro misfortune has been
filed, and any other attempt will only
cause it to run, over.
Such being the case, we can cherish
the secret hope thut better days may
soon dawn on US. - Through the glass of
faith We fancy. We see the silver lining
to the dark cloud, proolaiming that the
glorious sun will soon shed his rays,
warming and revivifying our chilled
limbs, aud infusing new life and new
vigor in our breasts.
But faith without works is dead. vain
speculations and idle dreamings are Of
no avail in these matter-of of-faot days.
Success can only be achieved by cease
less labor; and if we expect to redeem
our State. We must pull off our coats
and work manfully. Our next campaign
must be characterized by less talking
and more work a dozen quiet, ener-
getio workers will aid cause moro than
twice the number of orators. with all
their;rhetorical flowers.
The majority of the voters in our
State are just such men as can be best
influenced in quiet way. They are
naturally OF good disposition, easily
influenced for good or for evil. It is not
the eloquence of Chamberlain, but the
quiet influence Of the league, which at
every election rolls up suoh muiorities.
Now, what we need is just such hard
workers as have been described. In
every County, in every township, these
should be found, ever on the alert,
making the best of every opportunity
presented to them. In matters OF coun-
Gil, let the wisdom of age and experience
direct; but for work, such as is required
by the political necessities of the hour
in South Carolina, we must depend upon
and call into exercise the active energies
of youth. Upon our young men rests
the future destinies Of the common
wealth.

Training Heifer to Milk.

less abused. Instead OF cows being avcrse

night with uddcrs distend"d with milk, they
seem grateful to have it removed. Milking
Il heifer for the first time requires patience,
for they will, almost invariably kick In
such case put Il broad strap around her
body, nst front OF the uddcr, and buckle il
up moderately tight and a9 soon as she
gets quiet, (tor she may dance around Il
little at lirst,) take your pail. sit down and

kitten. DO not attempt to use Il rope in
stead of strap, for it will not answer.
This is a much better method than tving
the legs, &c, as it does not hurt the animal
in the least. few applications of the
strap, with plenty of patience and kindness
will cure the most obstinate case.
