1t is now just 10 years since the
first daily paper in London, or in
Europe, was started. The name of
this paper was the Daily Cowant,
and its publisher was Elizabeth Nal
let, who had shop near the Fleet
Ditch in Fleet street. It commenced
with an apology, for it excused its
pettiness Of size on the ground that
it would ''spare the public at least
half the impertinences which the or
binary papers contain" In I'LL
was commenced Addison's Spectator,
a daily paper, which soon secured a
European celebrity, but persisted by
the imposition of the stamp duty in
the following year. a#- eM8A

has taken New Departure" with Cal
Hamilton as it's editor-in-chef. In her sa
lu atory she unbushIngly avows that, ''The

thousand dollars-all for one dollar year.

We regret to announce the death of Mr.
Charles A. Vandenburg, which took place
last Sunday morning at the residence of his
uncle Mr.. A. d. Loomis of this CITY. Mr.
Vandenburg was about seventeen years of
age and had only been i'll for a few DAYS. his
death resulting from severe attack of cere.
bro, spinal meningitis. His parents reside in
Palmyra, in this state, but he had lived in
Kenosha for the last two years and was a
regular pupil OF the High School. Naturally
of an amiable disposition and evidently i'm
pressed with desire to obtain knowledge,
he soon became favorite in that establish
ment. and few who saw him in school on his
last appearance there, ever imagined that

A certain American physician
named Strong, residing at MarseiIles,
France, is said to be making a repu-
tation as a worker of wonderful
cures. He gives nothing to his pa
tients but pure water, which he
magnctizes by few passes of his
hand and it is said to be curious
sight to witness hundreds of persons
OF all conditions waiting their turn
at his door, each with a pitcher or
decanter Of water. The number
who call daily upon DR.. Strong are
estimated at an average of nine hun
dred. The papers speak OF the
Doctors charity to poor people, but
do not state how much of fortune
he is making by his novel process.

Benny Sanders, a farmer in Moul-
trie county, ILL.,, quarreIed with his
family last Tuesday, and drove
them out Of the house. Subsequent
thy his two sons went out to where
he was at work, when the quarrel
was reopened, and resulted in John
Sanders, the older of the boys,
shooting his father three times with
a pistol, the balls taking effect in the
head and neck. At last accounts
the father was still alive, but in a
precarious condition, and the two
young men had been arrested ard
discharged, Tile shooting being pro-
nounced to have been in self-defense.

HKcKER's CIRCULAR. Office.
holders are very much excited over q
circular. III German, recently issued by
Frederick Heoker, OF Illinois. and now
going through the German papers. Mr..
Hecker is'a strong man, virtually the
leader of German Republicanism in
Illinois, and hence the excitement. The
circular begins with history of the
party, dwells on the causes of it's rise
and decline, and finally exhibits what
the writer considers tho only issues yet
before tho American people, as follows
l. Amnesty or Acknowledgement.
2. Relations of the several States to
the Federal Governmcnt-ceniral
or federation.
3. Reform of the civil service and
opposition to corruption.
4. Free trade or protection.
5. Questions OF taxation and the
liquidation of the national debt.
+. Monopoly in commerce and trade.
z. The one term principle.
3. Questions of international rights.
Following this, Mr.. Hecker says as
long rs slavery existed, we had two par
ties standing upon principlc-the ono
upon slavery and tho other upon aboli-
tionism; but now, the Republican party,
so-called by tho Administration, has
yielded the devotion to principle to q de-
votion to personal service; or, in other
words. to personal gain. He concludes
in these words:
"One thing must be evident to every
thoughtful man, viz: that If the ship of
this republic continues to steer in the
direction in which it is now sailing, she,
hitherto the refuge of the whole free
human race, will be doomed to the fate
of other republics. and go to wreck Let
us, then, call together meetings in
every place in the land. and choose men
worthy of the confidence and of the
great duty before them, SO thut Oh the
first Of May the really honest people may
not upon the true principles of free 60
vernment."
We give the above as u news itcnl of
grave interest at this moment. The
whole country is looking eagerly to-
wards the liberal Republican Convention
at Cincinnati; and liberals, especially in
the West, cannot fail to bo moved by
such utterances from. such man as
Hecker.

ClamotlOn.

olamatlon.
The Supreme Court has made another
decision, in which it is held that John
sons amnesty proclamation 10 of full
force and effect, and relieves all South
erners of the penalties or disabilities of
what is called disloyal!y. This is an
important decision to large number of
people in the South who had property
taken or destroyed by the Federal army
during the war, and who con now sue
for its recovery in the Court of Claims,
without being compelled to avow their
loyalty and to swear that they gave no
aid or comfort to the rebellion. as
Sherman's army subsisted almost en-
tlrely upon commissary and quarter
masters stores gathered along the line of
march while passing through this State,
there are, doubtless, thousands upon
thousands of dollars that may be reco-
vered now by our impoverishedctizen
who have hitherto been debarred from
presenting their claims on account of
the presumed necessity of proving nom
participation in the rebellion. The
value Of all horses, mules, cattle, wagons,
provisions, or property of any sort,
taken for the use of the army, or de-
stroyod for military purposes. belonging
to private individuals, we presume can
now be recovered by any person, whe-
thor he be one of the truly loyal" or
not. The abstract of the decision, as
given in the New York World, is as fol-
lows:

-APPEAL FROM THE Court OF CLAIMS.
This was proceeding to recover the
proceeds of cotton seized under the
Captured and Abandoned Property Act
of 1868, ard was argued at the last term
of the court. The Court of Claims dis
missed the petition, on the ground that
it did not aver that the claimant had
given no aid and comfort to the rebel
lion, nor sufficiently aver Executive par
don. It is here held, (the same as in
the case Of Armstrong 1S. United States,
recently decidedly that the Presidents
proclamation of December 25, 1868,
granting pardon and amnesty uncondi-
tionally and without reservation, relieves
the claimants, in cases under the Cap
tured and Abandoned Property Act,
from proof of adhesion to the United
States during the late war. Tho judg.
ment dismissing the petition is reversed.

Having enlarged the number Of Offices
beyond all bounds, II disposition is now
manifested by Congress to enlarge the
scope of legislation, 80 as to endow q
number of wild cut schemes for the be-
nelit Of certain rings. Prominent among
these is one devised for the benefit Of
Pomeroy's friends in Kansas, providing
for the reservation of the Yellow Stone
region as a national park. It donates
l,8O0 square miles of this country to q
corporation authorizing the lease Of
hotel sites, bathing places, and other
luxnrious appurtenances for the attrnc-
tion of visitors, and possesses all the
elements Of monstrous monopoly.
Another scheme is for the establishment
of national university, and quarters off
an innumerablo number Of learned Ru-
dicals at fat salaries-seventee profes-
sors of science, fourteen Of philosophy,
twenty eight of belle-letters, fifteen Of
history, fifteen Of fine arts, sixteen of
law, thirtytwo of medicine, nineteen of
agriculture, and score more on navnl
and military sconce. Sociology and
scholasticism are to be taught, as well as
the Celtic and Hungarian languages, aud
learned pundits are to be turned out of
the intellectual mill by the hundreds,
oil duly crammed for ruling the country.
Did ever anybody hear of such follos rs
these gravely contemplated by tho Con-
grcss of tho United States? Truly the
timo has como for fixing bounds to their
audacily.

KEEP TO THE RIaHT.-We frequently
notice young men going in opposite di.
rections through our principal street, on
approaching each other, keeping in
direct line, until they are brought face
to face, when they begin regular old
fashioned chassez. If pedestrians would
take lesson from equestrians on this
point, and keep to the right. they would
avoid dancing in the streets to no music.
PHOENIX, HOOK AND LADDER CoMpANY.
This company, which is as great a ne
cessity in preventing the spread of fire
as our fire engines. has been allowed to
languish, without spark of life, for the
past three years. Captain Jeans, with
the assistance OF two or three others,
has secured fine truck and several ex-
cellent ladders, and all that there is of
good in this indispensable organization
is due to the worthy efforts Of these
three or four gentlemen. At the last
meeting of the company it was decided
that the entire apparatus should be
turned over to any number of persons
who would form an active organization
under the charter of the Phoenix. Our
young townsman, Herman 8. johnson,
has brought his ene:gy and experience as
fireman to the work of perfecting new
organization that shall be q power for
defence i'll time OF fire. and, at the same
time, perhaps, the pride and pet of the
city. About forty young men in the
city have determined to take Immediate
action, and We learn that several of our
prominent merchants have expressed
their determination to sustain the
organization. This evening, at s o'clock,
the first meeting will be held in the hall
Of the Independent Company. Captain
LyBraud's band will furnish music. and
several speakers are expected to be in at
tendance.

SHOT TO DEATH BY FEDERAL SOLDIERS.
We learn from u reliable source, Just be-
fore going to press, that u few days ago
Minor Parris, Of this County, who is well
known to many Of our citizens from his
connection with thu Magnetic Iron Com
pany ut Cherokee Ford, on Broad River,
was shot and killed by Federal soldiers.
Tho circumstances, ns wo have heard
them, are us follows: Minor Paris, who
has for many years attended to tho tisho-
ry on Broad River, belonging to the iron
company. was out in the river in his
boat examining the traps for fish when n
party Of Federal soldiers, from the York
side Of the river, rode up and ordered
him to halt, rs ho was moving for the
Spartnnburg shore, where he lived.
Failing to halt his boat. number of
shots were fired ut him, some Of which
took effect and killed him. We have not
heard who was in command Of these
soldiers. The facts, rs we learn them,
make this great outrage; but we for
bear further comments until they are
confirmed. 'Tls thus that Graht gives
us peace. The peace of dcath-a peace
only found in the silence of the grave.
We do not know, but presume these SOL
diers were in pursuit of Paris for viola
tons of the Ku Klux or Enforcement
Acts. s.-Ctr0lina Spartan.
