FoRNEY ON THE COLUMBIA RING.-The first
and guitiest of the seeding States, South
Carolina has been the most unfortunate and
worst punished of them all but the punish
ment has been greater than she deserved. Since
tile war closed and the military government
was superseded by the civil authority, she has
been at the mercy of a more rapacious gang of
thieves than the Tammany of Tweed. A cor
rupt Ring have wantonly wasted and appropri-
ated the revenues of the State, and, while its
people of all classes are to-day the most i'm
poverished in the country, these men are among
the wealthiest. The extent of their stealings
reaches millions of dollars and covers period
of many years.
The cruelest feature of the whole unfortunate
affair is that the taxpayers have no redress
The colored people are in great majority and
are completely under the control of these ras-
Gals. Their votes perpetuate this infamous
rule, and have embittered thousands of white
men in the State disposed to be fair to the col
ored men. The consequence has been the Ku-
Klux and a vain attempt at the restoration OF
the white minority through assassination and
intimidation of the blacks. -
We deplore, but do not apologize for, this
condition of affairs, the end of which we can
not see. 1t has made the name Of Republican
ism synonymous for plunder in South Carolina,
and il ought to be a warning for us of Penn
sylvania not to elect to Offices of homer and
trust incompetent or dishonest men. The whole
of South Carolinas troubles since the war date
from the election and reelection of men simply
because they were Republicans, and not be-
cause they were honest and ft.-Paitadekphia

Male and Female Colleges.

ErSklne Male and Female colleges.
From the 4th to the 18th instant the COM
mencement exercises of Erskine and the Fe-
male College at Due West furnished to the
thousands who had congregated there in the
interest of these institutions one of the finest
and most intellectual entertainments it has
ever been my good fortune to hear. The kind
ness of the professors, the civlity and gentility
of the students toward all persons cannot fail
to inspire the best wishes in behalf of these
institutions by those who are lovers of learn
ing true politeness, government and order.
No parent or guardian need hesitate for mo-
ment to send his child or ward to these insti-
tutions. To do so, is to have them we'll edu-
Gated in all the branches usually taught in
Colleges, and what is of equal importance,
we'll taught in good manners. I know Of no
institution where young man or lady can be
so we'll and thoroughly educated, not only in
books, but in moral training, for less money
than at Due West.
We were delighted to meet with several stu
dents from Anderson County, among them
c. G. Simpson, R. P Clinkscales, NJ. B. Clink-
scales, R. A. Reid, Fl. G. Reed and Alexander
E. Norris. Of these c. c. Simpson, R. A.
Reid and r. P. Clinkscales graduated, and
Fl. G. Reed in the Freshman class, received
the medal "for the best general scholarship"
We wish the graduates from our county great
success in life, and our well wishes are with
the young men who still remain, and our regret
is that more of our young men are not sent to
this deserving institution.
The Anniversary Address, delivered by Hon.
John Y. Fitzpatrick, from Selma, Ala, was
indeed interesting and instructive, and did
much honor to the institution and the speaker.
Our best wishes go home with him. The ad-
dress delivered before the Female College by
the Rev. Mr. Capers was profound and i'm
pressive.
We were happy to meet with many of the
old members of the Rifles. May God bless
them. We also met the Chaplain of our old
regiment, Rev. Mr.. Sloan, who lives some
twenty miles south of Abbeville G. H. We
were glad to shake his hand, for in his bosom
beats true, warm and devoted heart. Pro-
fessor William Hood has our thanks for his
attention and kindness to US. M.

GRANTS ATTEMPT TO BR1BE ScHURz-A
special dispatch to the New York Herald, dated
Raleigh, N. c., July Oath, says:
Mr.. Schurz left ST. Louis last night and is
now on his was to fulfill his speaking engage
ments in North Carolina.
The overtures mentioned in his speech were
made to him by General Pleasarton, while
Commissioner of Internal Revenue. He met
Pleasanton in New York, where the latter told
him, in an interview sought by Pleasanton,
that if he would support the st. Domingo
scheme all the patronage of the Administration
in Missouri would be transferred from Drake
to himself More than that, he could have any
foreign patronage he desired. Schurz asked
him if he came accredited from the President,
and Peasanton answered that he did, fully.
Schurz declined to consider it, but when he got
back to Missouri, seeing that the question of
the annexation of St. Domingo was likely to
become a serious point of difference, he wrote
to Pleasanton, asking him to state more fully
the overtures made verbally in New York.
Pleasanton answered the letter quite explicitly,
and it is this which can be produced. At that
time Pleasanton was in high feather with the
Administration, and fully possessed its conf
dence. The letter will be made public in
North Carolina, as Schurz has it with him.

GEORGE A. PIcKErr.-7o the Editor Of the
7iibme-SlR: Your Washington correspon-
dent, in his letter of the 23d ult., makes
statement calculated to wound the feelings of
one who, with other Southern Democrats, has
joined hands with the Liberal Republican par
ty, in the hope that, with honest Horace Gree
ley as leader, we may be able to drive the
thieves and moneychangers from the nstional
temple. Alluding to the recent sale of the
Confederate State papers, recently exhumed in
Canada, your correspondent states 1 ,t that the
tary Boutwell, to Gen. Pickett. Now, there
was but one Gen. Pickett in the Confederate
service, and that was George A. Pickett, now
in Richmond; and he is not of the sort who
can be hired to dig up fresh fuel to light the
expiring flames of sectional amnesty.

Brown and Rice's Mills,

Situated near Dorchester Church, in the
neighborhood of Bolton, better known as
Breazeale's Mills, have been recently reftted
with comparatively new machinery, and are
now in excellent running order. Being in re-
ceipt of a sack of flour from this mill, we know
whereof we speak, when we affirm that it makes
a superior article of -four. The proprietors are
exceedingly clever and energetic gentlemen,
and we feel assured they will give full satis-
faction to all who will favor them with their
patronage.

Mr.. EDITOR The writer had the pleasure
of attending an examination and exhibition at
the School-house of Mr.. Thos. n. McMullen
in Hart County, Ga, on Thursday, the 25th
inst. Arriving at the Academy at late hour,
l did not hear but little of the examination
exercises; but from what I did hear, am pre-
pared to say that it was highly creditable to
both teacher and students. After the exanin-
alton closed, at about one o'clock, recess was
taken, when the contents of baskets were
spread out in the cool shades, and dinner an
nounced, much to the satisfaction of all pres
ent, if I can judge from the readiness with
which they gathered around the plentiful feast.
Soon after dinner the exhibition commenced
speeches, compositions and dialogues being the
order of the evening These exercises were
highly creditable to the School, satisfactory to
the patrons, and interesting to the audience.
A short and appropriate yaledictory address
closed the exercises of the day.
Our Georgia neighbors are always hospitable
and fully alive to educational and other enter
prises. The beauty and wit of Hart was we'll
represented at the exhibition on the 25th. The
County of Hart, as you all know, was named
in honor of the Revolutionary heroine, Mrs.
Nancy Hart whose name will be as enduring
as old Savannah herself The poet Anacreon
said "every living creature had some weapon
of defence" and alas !! woman has beauty as
her weapon. The ladies of Hart are par er-
cellence in this regard, at least so thought
CAROLINIAN.

On. last Friday Mr.. W. L. Hellams, living
near Centrevile, accidentally shothinaself whilst
cut hunting with his gun. The circumstances,
as we have heard them, are these: he was

ing the gun with the other, when the gun ex-
ploded, lodging the contents in his right shoul-
der. His wound is doing well, but it is feared
he will be 9. permanent cripple. Mr. Hellams

A MIRACULOUS EscAPE.-One of the most
wonderful escapes from sudden and seemingly
inevitable death of which we have ever heard
is referred to in recent issue of the New York
Tines. 1t occurred on the Hudson River Rail-
way, one night last week, and the person was
one James Garter, of Houghsonville, New
York, who was walking up the road on the
down track by night, about a mile south of the
New Hamburg station. On his back he had
trunk. Suddenly train hove in sight, thun-
dering down the track on which Carter was
walking. 1t was an extra freight train, and
moving very fast. To see the red glare and to
hear the crashing advance of the engine was
the work of one moment; in the next Carter
had leaped for safety upon the other track AS
he jumped upon the track, the Pacific express
came rushing along upon it at his back, rum
ming at forty miles an hour. The engineer saw
Carter, shut off steam, and whistled "down
brakes" But it was too late The speed of
the locomotive was hardly slackened when it
struck the poor fellow, and he and his trunk
were flung twenty feet in the air.
When he fell, it was on the fore-part of the
engine, his clothes catching in what is called
the draw bar, his body not striking any part of
the locomotive at ALL When discovered, he
was laying across the iron bars of the "cow-
catcher" with his head down and his feet up,
the head being within two or three inches of
the rails. The train dashed furiously on, Car
ter continuing to hang in his perlous position
until it reached New Hamburg. He had been
seen by the firemen in the meantime, and one
of them had crawled down the engine and
seized his clothes, clasping with the other arm
the flagstaff, At New Hampshire the train
stopped and he was taken off. He was insen-
sible, but soon revived with simple remedies,
and was found to be absolutely unhurt. There
was not even scratch or abrasion of the skin.

AN ARTIFICIAL MAN-Paris journals tell
of an unfortunate, but artificial man, who late
ly arrived in that city, and who reminds one
of that lively sketch Of Edgar A. Poes, en-
titled General A. B. d. G. Smith. The poor
man was a fireman for steam engine, and two
years ago was horribly mutlated by the explo-
sion of the boiler. Saved by the skill Of an
English charlatan, the victim is thus furnished
with at present: One wooden arm and two
wooden legs, glass eye, a nose made from the
skin of the forehead, silver jaw, palate COM
posed of bit of caoutchouc, and a stomach
consisting Of sort of truss. As this man is a
legitimate curiosity, and being without re-
sources, he has resolved to place himself in the
hands of an exhibitor, who will make with
him the tour of ali the capitals Of Europe.

SIZE VISITS SPIRITUAL MEDIUM AND coNAEiisEs
WITH THE LATE PRESIDENT AND TAD.
As is probably we'll known. some FIVE weeks
since Mrs. Abraham Lincoln passed through
this city on her way to Waukesha there to par
take of the celebrated Bethesda water for
dropsioal affection, and that she has found the
effect Of the water 80 beneficial and the place
so delightful for q summer visit that she still re-
mains there
Previous to her coming TO Waukesha, Mrs.
Lincoln as was stated, visited in the east several
spiritual mediums, some of the most celebrated
in the country, with whom she had interviews
many of which to her infinite satisfaction.
Yesterday she came into Milwaukee on the
4 morning train for the purpose OF visiting a
medium in this city, whose quarters are located
| i'm Market square, and whose reputation for
being able to commune with the spirits of the
| depai ted has extended far beyond the limits OF
| our own city.
| At the depot Mrs. Lincoln was met by well
| known citizen, a firm believer in spiritnalistlc
communion, who escorted her to the sanctum
| of the medium. The interview took place, and
was, we are told, most satisfactory. Scarcely
| had she serted herself, when the medium II =
| formed her that the spirits of Tad and her hus
band were present, and with them she con-
verscd for some time.
The particulars of the interview we did not
| learn. A few hours after size had fni shed her
seance with the medium she left the CITY, to re-
turn to Waukesha, seeing but few persons du-
ring her visit here, aud these only persons of
previous acquaintance, or with whom she was
brought in contact in hor visit to the medium. =
