sss The Carlisle (Pa.) Herald records the
death, in that place, on the 2Sth Of January
hast of Miss Phoebe Paine, after long life OF
,sefulness, and lingering illness, borne with
Christian fortitude. Miss Paine was the
daughter of an eminent physician Of Portland,
Maine. and was widely known as successful
educator of the youth Of her SEX In this ca.
psascity, issit she resided in Anderson for number
ii years, connected with the johnson Female
University. Her character and usefulness IN
this community endeared her to many friends,
and her pupils, now scattered over the land,
will deeply regret to learn that she has passed
away from earth. "Her last hours were full OF
expressions of gratitude to her Father above
Tor having been permitted to form 50 many
pleasant associations on earth, and for the hope
of renewing those ties in Heaven"

minerals of Upper South Carolina.

To the Editor of the Anderson Intetfgencer :
Supposing that communication of this kind
would be of some interest to our scientific
friends, I submit with pleasure the following
particulars in reference to the mineral resour-
ces of our State. am fully aware that publ
cations of this nature are by many considered
tedious, but when the important matter leads
to the development and new discovery of such
minerals as have recently come under my OBJ
servation, I feel confident that at least some
few of our fellow-beings will be interested, if
only to exclaim, eyes often imagined that
we possessed mineral wealth )" and it is there
fore, that feel compelled to make known, for
the community at large, the great Importance
of these rich minerals, which have heretofore
been considered of such little value.
Corundum l have found in inexhaustible
quantities, which alone is mineral of immense
value, it being principally used for .manufac-
turing spindle pivots etc., for watches. The
Garnet, another valuable and important pre-
cious stone, have also discovered in large beds,
and have succeeded in finding even the vein
itself. Most of the crystalized specimens are
Rhombon- on-dodekahaedens.
Gold is plentiful, as you probably have known
for some time, and if properly managed, can
be easily and very advantageously worked.
Magnetic Iron Ore of superior quality also
abounds in rich veins, and which will eventu-
ally prove of the greatest value to our State as
a means of manufacturing Bessemer steel and
steel-rails.
l might mention many other minerals, such
as Mica, Copper, Manganese, Lead, Serpentine,
Asbcstas, ETC., but not wishing to make my
letter too tedious, I will postpone for later
day. Should any of our friends, who are in
favor of progress, development and civilization,
be desirous of further information, l will be
pleased to furnish them with more satisfactory
details. A. G. l..

Death of Mr.. John Hurkamp.

The Charleston papers announce the death
Of Mr.. John Hurkamp, an old merchant OF
that city, who was we'll known in this commu-
nifty. Mr. Hurkamp has been seriously i'll for
several weeks, from lingering disease, and
death ended his suferings on last Thursday.
He was a native of Hanover, and emigrated to
this country in 1880. After sojourning for a
wear in New York, he removed to Charleston
and engaged n the grocery business. His es-
tabiisAnent, at the corner of King and Broad
streets, was recognized as one of the landmarks
of the city, where he had won an envis5le rep
utation for strict integrity and business hab-
its, besides amassing considerable property.
During the war, Mr.. Hurkamp brought his
family to Anderson, and identified himself with
this community by purchasing residence,
which has since availed him as a summer re-
treat from the cares of business in his old age.
His kindly disposition gained him many friends
in our midst, who will cherish his memory with
sincere and unaffected regard. He died in the
sixty-third year of his age.

JUDGE Graham.

This gentleman has been the victim of a
strange proceeding. Recently, in the case of
Redding vs. South Carolina Railroad, the YER
dict of the jury in Judge Graham's Court was
not satisfactory to certain Radicals and straght-
way there went up howl to the Legislature
against the Judge. 1t appears that E. B. Sea-
brook, Solicitor Of the First Circuit, and editor
of the Charleston Republican, informed Jervey,
Davis and other members of the Legislature
that Judge Graham had been guilty of NAL
feasance and corruption in Office, in the case
above specified, and induced these members to
introduce resolutions in the House of Repre-
sentatives looking to action against the Judge.
These resolutions were finally referred to the
Judiciary Committee, with power to send for
persons and papers, when Judge Graham and
other officers of the Court, together with a
number of witnesses, were summoned before
the Committee The report of the Committee
shows that Mr.. Seabrook, upon being called
upon to testify concerning the grave. allega-
tions, completely exonerated Judge Graham
from the charges submitted by Mr.. Jervey, and
which formed the basis of the investigation.
Under these circumstances, the Committee
could do no less than report to the House that
they had been called upon to investigate sim
ply nothing, and that the whole thing was a
farce. The report, which was ably drawn by
the Chairman, w. D. Wilkes, Esq, has been
adopted by the House of Representatives, and
thus Judge Graham has been fully vindicated
in every respect.
The part taken by Mr.. seabrook, however,
does not relieve that gentleman so satistacto-
rily. As members of the House, Jervey and
Davis have reiterated their declarations that
Seabrook gave them the precise information
which was contained in the charges aforesaid,
and that he testified falsely before the Com
mittee in denying their allegations to this
effect. These members were quite severe upon
the Solicitor, and denounced him in the most
unequivocal terms. The feud between them
will doubtless be carried into the local politics
of Charleston, all of the parties concerned be-
ing Radical ofice-seekers and aspirants.

more to the handsome appearance of a house

good clear window glass, and bright-colored
ornamental glass at the sides and over the tops

the light at the same time that it shuts off the

amount of which is an unknown quantity, were
issued in conformity to, and by the authority
of, laws already passed, then they are already
legal, and need no further law to validate them.
If they were not issued by authority of law,
then they should not be made legal by the pas
sage of this Bill. A demand for Bill to de-
clare the bonds and stocks already issued legal
is clear confession that all of them are not
legal, which is further confirmed by the provi-
sions of the Bill, which exonerates the officers
who issued them from all legal responsibility
for any violation of law and good faith of which
they may have been guilty. Hence we solemn
ly protest, in the name of the people, against
the passage of Bill which we hold to be un-
necessary, unjust and burdensome, and to the
people we will appeal directly.

As an evidence of the means employed to
effect the passage Of this measure, we give an
extract from the Columbia correspondence Of
the Charleston Courier, in which the circum-
stances are fully detailed, as follows:
'Of all the swindles that are chargeable to
the Legislature of 1871-72, the crowning ACT
of infamy was perpetrated last night, in the
passage of the Bill known as the Validating
Bill. AS was very truly remarked by one Of
the gentry who delight in the name of lobbyist
and whose ayocation consists in the purchas
ing of legislative votes for a pecuniary consid.
erationEsthere are decent swindes and there
are down right thefts,'- which being translated
into the vernacular, means that this is the
highest and most unblushing fraud that wa;
ever perpetrated.
"In order to secure its passage, it was found
necessary to lay out certain amount of hard
cash. The members could not, of course, SEE
its merits until the merits aforesaid were pro
duced, and hence the Bill lay on the calendar
for nearly six weeks. During all this time the
engineers Of the measure took advantage of the
opportunities, and laid their schemes. The
South Carolina Legislator is somewhat eleva
ted in his own eyes, and several parties helc
out for high figures One member, who is en-
dowed with an unlimited amount of cheek ane
as little brain, asked as high as $4,000 for hi
vote and. influence, and the others, taking the
cue, put corresponding figures upon their votes
These figures the Bill men were not willing t.
give, and consequently there was a stane
of.
"But the money market became tight, ant
the Bill men, biding their time until the favor
able moment arrived, renewed their offers, ant
the bargain was closed at prices ranging from
5000 to 81, ,O00-the latter figure, am told, be
ing the highest price paid"

Democratic Taxation.

The rate of taxation in North Carolina for
the coming year is less than four mills on the
dollar, or 3Sa cents ON every hundred dollars
worth of property. This tax is levied by a
Legislature overwhelmingly Democratic, and
is in striking contrast with the Republican ad-
ministration of affairs in South Carolina.

sion of its merits or exposure of the infamous
intentions of its authors. Enough members
had doubtless been secured, in the usual man.
ner, to insure the speedy run of the gauntlet it
was destined to encounter. A gallant minority,
including many Republican members, made
such resistance to the measure as it was posi-
BILE under the operation of the previous ques-
tion, and called the yeas and nays upon every
section. But their efforts were futile, as might
be supposed, except that they placed on record
their votes against the bill, and in the end
manfully protested against this new and crown
ing iniquity. The very manner adopted BY its
friends in cutting off all debate and silencing
opposition to the extent of their ability plain
ly demonstrates the character of this legisla-
ton. We might look to the Senate, as con-
servative body, to defeat this measure, were it
not that the past record of that body augurs
unfavorably in this respect, and we are conf
dent that the friends of the Validating Act
would never have risked the bill, unless they
were sure of its passage. We conclude our
comments by attaching the earnest protest of q
portion of the minority of the House of Rep
resentativcs, in which the impropriety and i'm
policy of this legislation is 50 plainly set forth
that he who runs may read This protest was
drawn by Mr. Wilkes, of Anderson:
