Tell US not in idle jingle
Marriages but an empty dream"
For the girl is dead that's single,
And things are not what they seem.
Life IS real, life is earnest,
Single blessedhess fb;
'Man thou art. to man returneth,"
Has been spoken Of the rib.
Not enjoyment and not sorrow,
Is our destined cnl or way,
But TO act that each tomorrow,
Finds US nearer marriage day.
Life is long, and youth is 1eeting,
And our hearts, though light and gay,
Still like pleasant drums are beating,
Wedding marches all the way.
In the worlds broad fields of battle,
In the bivonac-of life,
Be not like dumb driven cattle
Be hcreine-a wife!
Trust no future, howe er pleasant;
Let the dead past bury the dead;
Act in the present, hoping
ror opv.ss ahvud.
Lives Of married folks remind US
We can live our lives as we'll,
And departing leave behind us
Such examples % shall tell
Such examples rs another,
Wasting time in idle sport,
A forlorn, unmarried brother,
Seeing shall take heart aud court.
Let US then be up and doing,
With heart on triumph set.
Still contriving, still pursuing,

Homicide at Matthew'S Bluff.

We have received the following acc ount
of homicide which occurred on Tuesday,
Jan. 30, at Mathews Bluff:
CAD Ilishman, named Patrick Plume
kett, was employed by Mr. R. r. Turner
for some time during the past summer and
fall. In a settlement of their accounts,
Patrick deemed himself wronged. A few
DAYS before the homicide he was observed
going toward Turner house clrrying in
his hand a pistol. In reply to Question.
he said that he might possibly BE- obliged
to shoot Turner. On Tu, sday morning
while Turner was in bed, bling ill, a
colored woman told him that Patrick was
entering the house. Turner got out of
bed and took up his gun, warning Patrick
not to come nearer. Patrick raised his
hands, either to show himself unarmed or
to seize the gun, when Turner shot him
dead"

THE BEAUFORT REPUBLICAN. FEBRUARY 8, 1872.

political life, demands thorough and genuine
reform of the public service. Those who would
suppress investigation forget that they owe
higher duty to their country than to any party.
We honor those Senators whose courageous
course has compelled disclosure of grave
misdeeds, and they deserve the thanks and
hearty support of all good citizens.
'.Resolyed, That local self government, with
impartial suffrage, will guard the rights of all
citizens more securely than any centralized au-
tllority, and it is time to stop the growing en-
croachments of the executive power; the use
of coercion or bribery to ratify a treaty; the
packing of Supreme Court to relieve rich cor
porations; the seating of members of congress
not elected by the people; the resort to uncon-
stitutional laws to cure ka-klux disorder, lr-
religion, or intemperance, and the surrender
of individual freedom to those who ask that the
practice or creed of some shall be the law OF
all. We demand for the individual the largest
liberty consistent with public order for the
State, self-government, and for the nation
return to the methods of peace and constitu-
tional limitations Of power.
''Resolved, That true Republicanism makes
it not the less our duty to expose corruption,
denounce usurpation of power, and work for
the reforms necessary for the public welfare.
The times demand an uprising of honest citi-
zens to sweep from power the men who prosti-
tute the name of our honored party to selfish
interests. We therefore invite all republicans
who desire the reform herein set forth to meet
in national mass convention at the city of Gin
cinnati, on the first Wednesday of May next,
at II M, there to take such action as our con-
victions of duty and the public exigency may
REQUIRE
In Indiana, the situation is unchanged,
Geo. w. Julian, an old familiar name
among abolitionists, is candidate for the
republican nomination for congressman at
large, and with prospects of success
We have had two frst-class sensations this
winter; the Nilsson Opera troupe and the
journey of the Grand Duke, with Miss Nils
son ahead as far as popular ovations 60.
Her season has been a grand one, and no
words can express the delight experienced in
listening to her singing and watching her
sublime acting.

The Democratic policy.

There is no longer any doubt that Gen.
Grant, will be renominated by the Phia-
delphia convention, if he desires it. Should
the nomination be made and accepted
there will be a convention Of dissatisfied
republicans held in Cincinnati. To this
will 90 such men as Greeley, Bryant,
Trumbull, Schurz, Gratz Brown, Judge
Davis, Fenton, Mcclure. etc. The ticket
they nomin lte will mos: certainly be sup
ported by the democrats. Such is the
national programme.
In this state the same tactics are evil
dently in favor with the democracy. The
Columbia Ph@niG, in a asignificant article,
thus marks out the course of its party.
''The indications are, nay, We feel iusti.
fed IN saying with certainty, thatthe Dem
ocracy of South Carolina will not make
nominations or support party candidates
at the approaching elections. The field
will be left to the Republicans entirely,
aDdsthe contest will be between rival fac
eiOns Of that party. The Democrats will
look quietly on; try to run in such good
men as they can for county offices, and as
for the other, seek for the least dishonest
Radicals, and vote for them''.

Mr.. Smalls also introduced bill to in
corporate the Beaufort and Port Royaf
Railroad Company, with 3. L. Wllson,
Robert Smalls, J. G.. Thompson, w. j.
Whipper. J. NJ. Crofut, n. II. Meyers, +.
F. Wilder, J. B. Bascomb, W. I. French,

. son and Alfred Williams as io3,rporators,
and with power to construct nd maintain
a road from some point on Bull River to-
junction with the Port Royal Railroad.
This is an important bill and Will wnen
constructed aid largely in developing the
phosphate interests. 1t is said that DOCKS
of subscription to the stock OF the road
will be opened Immediately should the
bill pass.
The Governor reports that a large def
cheney has appeared over the approprla-
tions for current expenses and interest.
He states the amount of the bebt. bearing
interest to be S11, ,994, ,90S SO, and insists
that a tax of four mills will be required
to raise the interest alone. .'ya
1t is rumored tonight that Bieman,
Burroughs, Holcombe, Duyall and Will
son will resign their seats in the General
Assembly tomorrow. t
SOCIAL GOSSIP.
On Tuesday evening there was a large
party at the Governors which was very
pleasant. The circle of Northern people
here is becoming large, there was
great many there, and yet could count
as many who were absent. 1t was noticed
that Mrs. Chamberlain selected the same
evening for tea party. Next Monday
there is to be calico ball and promenade
concert to raise fund for Chicago, music
by the Post Band. Tuesday there is to
be party at Carpenters.

THE CONVENTION.
The members OF the legislature are
figuring a good deal over who shall be
delegates to the Philadelphia convention.
As most of the counties are expected to
appoint their members here as delegates,
of course, the caucusipg can take place
before the assembling of the convention.
South Carolina will send fourteen dele
bates. There are more than forty patriots
anxious to 60. The delegation ought to
be composed of our best material. There
seems to be a general acquiescence in the
nomination of Grant, but there is no en-.
thusiasm for him. 1t is understood that
he gives South Carolina politicians general
ly the cold shoulder Senator Sawyer has
monopolized most of the influence and
consequently has incurred the emnity Of
the disappointed. Grant will probably
get the vote of the State in the conven-
tion as he will certainly get her vote in the
election. The vce-presidency is but little
talked of, save that some urge thatou State
ought 10 offer one OF her sons for the posi-
ton in the person of Judge James Il. Orr.
He certainly would have all the quallfica-
tions necessary and would fill the position
with ability, dignity and honor.
THE BLUE RIDGE.
On Wednesday the Senate put quietus
upon the Blue Ridge railroad swindle.
Senator Smalls moved to strike out all at.
ter the epactiDg cause. He bad opposed
the bill at every stage, and insisted thatlt
ought to be killed at once. He warned
those who were trying to cheat their con,
sciences into an ass ,Dt to the swindle that
the eyes of the people were upon them.
Swails who enjoys bad preeminence in
all such jobbsry, worked hard to save the
bill, but the Senate finally adopted mo-
tion to indefinitely postpone.
Honest John Paterson will have to try
again. He failed this time by being too
greedy. Let him bring in measure to
redeem the bonds now pawned and to pay
the actual debt of the company and he
may meet with better success.

The Congressional sqaabble.

A Washington telegram to Boston pa
per says.
Another claimant has appeared for tie
seat in the House from the Second South
Carolina District so long disputed by Bow
en- and DeLarge. Tharin, a white man
and irregular candidate, who received less
than thousand votes, has come forward
with demand for the seat on the ground
that DeLarge is British subject, having
taken out his papers at Nassau during the
war and never since been naturaized; !;
while he charges Bowen with the convic-
ton of number ofinfamous crimes which
ought to make him utterly ineligible. De-
Large is i'll at Columbia, and telegraphs
for an extension of time, and Bowen is al
so at Columbia conducting the campaign
against Governor Scott. The elections
committee will not act on the case until
the return Of their chairman, Mr.. McCra-
ry, from New Orleans.

THE DRIVE.

Strange as it may appear, to those who
are familiar with the iudomitable energy
which characterzes our thriving town,
the long talked Of and promised Drive has
been abandoned. The shells which were
to make smooth the way are being de-
posted in mot sun dry places under the
direction of our worthy Intendant. The
subscription list, with the names OF so
many public spirited citizens was solemn
ly committed to the fumes in our pres
euce. The rock upon which they split was
the fact that the drive could not be con-
structed upon satisfactory route without
it passed the door of every subscriber.
1t was feared that strangers would get
giddy if driven over it. The road round
Robinhood's barn would have been a joke

A difficulty arose on Tuesday between
VIM. Harrison and D. G. Wilson Dc Co.,
which may. terminate in a case for the
courts. 1t seems that VIM. Harrison at
tempted to close the street leading to his
wharf under the assumption that it is not
public street, and that he only permits
the street to be used as an accommodation
to the public going 10 and from his wharf.
The party on the other side claim that it
is public street and was so decided be-
fore the war. The Intendant opened the
street again

CUR COLUMBIA CORRESPONDENCE.
COLUMBIA. Feb, 5, 1872.
A NEW U. s. MARSHAL.

u. y.
1t is reported here that President Grant
has determined upon the removal of
United States Marshal Johnson. and that
the nomination, in his stead, Of Frederick
d. Bush jthe late president Of the Green
vile and Columbia Rairoad) his been
sent to the S.nate. This appointment
oceasioned an excitement in political cir
cles seemingly out of proportion to the
importance Of the case. But this is an
important move on the political board,
and one which is not everywhere under
stood, for the Courier of to-day speaks of
Bush as pet of Scott. The fact is, that
the Governor Justly looks upon this ap-
pointment as a blow at him. If The ap-
pointment has been made it is in the
interest Of Chamberlain, and is part Of
Mr.. Sawver's plan Of the coming cam
paign. Mr.. Bush will. with the other
federal Office holders, fight Scott to the
bitter end, and it is almost positively Ger.
tain that Chamberlain and no other man
is their candidate. The Governors
friends got up memorial yesterday, at
once. signed by all the members of the
legislature that they could get, protesting
against the confirmation Of Bush. True
they have long wanted johnson removed,
but they had rather keep him than have
a more able man like Bush to fisht. 1t
has opened their eyes TO the fact that
Sawyer, backed by the administration and
by many disaffected Republicans in this
State means business,-and Coy. Scott
has got to fight for his life now. Such a
pressure will be brought TO bear on Grant
that he must withdraw the appointment,
or he will lose the vote Of this State in
the June convention.
MEMBERS PAY.
Mr.. Nehemias has Introduced bill to
regulate the pay of members. 1t provides
that hereafter the patriots who shall be
elected to serve their constituents as
members of the General Assembly shall
receive an annual salary of one thousand
dollars, to be paid quarterly and without
any nonsense. and shall recelve an allow
ance of twenty cents per mile for going

Gambling in Beaufort.
ITO he Editor orMe Rsp'.Redn.l

To The Editor OF The Rfpu ttcdH.I
SIR.-If our town and county officers
would do their duty, We should expect to
see the gambling now openly allowed in
some ofthe bar rooms of Beaufort, speedily
suppressed. 1t is sad TO see the spceious
methods of engaging young men in the
dangerous and wicked amusement, Of
games of chanses and skill upon whhh
money or it's equivalent is bet Cards, bag
atelle, rafics, ETC., are resorted toin many
PLACES to swell the crowd Of customers for
The bar. These practices lead to worse
ones, and unless a check is applied our
community will sink to an idle, tbriftless,
gambling, drinking one. Can not our Of
fees d. something to redeem the town
from such a. fate.
Yours respectfully,
