The Conservative this week is stirred
to it's profoundest depths of Indignation,
and decorates us with some very uncom-
plimcntary adjectives, because of our al
fusion last week to it's ISLANDERS upon Mr..
Russell, Republican candidate for Super
visor. Its grievance seems to be that we
should presume to say anything about
the matter after the retraction wrung
from it by Mr.. Russell. If it will tend to
soothe its perturbed feelings in this re-
gard, we will simply say that our copy of
the Conservative being mislaid, we failed
to notice it's retraction of the SANDER un-
til our article was written and in type,
otherwise we should have given it the
proper credit for the same. But at the
same time we should have exercised the
right to characterize the original article
as it deserved, Notwithstanding the re-
traction. The truth is, the Conservative
made the charges upon the vaguest au-
thority, not caring or inquiring whether
they were true or false; and we are also
warranted in saying that they would not
have been retractcd If Mr.. Russell had
not been resident Of the county and
in position to insist upon the proper
amends.
TO show that upon the last point we do
no injustice to our cotemporary, we have
only to alludc to its persistent villifica-
tons of Hon. Henry Wilson. For weeks
the Conservative credited to Mr.. Wilson
the language of ruflian and sentiments
contrary to the whole tenor Of his life,
and when he, in manly and patriotic
letter, repudiated the language and senti-
ments imputed to him, the Conservative
whose editor privately admitted that
the whole charge was explodcd-kept
right on in the same course of vile mis-
representation and-scurrility. Does any
body believe that if Mr.. Wilson could
| have been present, as Mr.. Russell was, to
insist upon his right to be heard in de-
tense, the Conservative would have dared
deny it him? And yet this paper, which
takes back false accusation only when
it is practically wrung from it, pratcs
| about "honor."

SAD DEATH OF CAROLINA IMMIGRANTS.
From letter received from Mr.. 81. L..
Beck, Of this County, We learn that q
fatal accident befell the wife of Mr.. r.
d. Montgomery. and little girl, the
daughter OF Mr.. Nelson Montgomery, at
Abbeville. Mississippi. on the 25th of
December ultimo. Mr.. Montgomery
and family but few days ago left this
County to settle in Lafayette County,
Mississippi, and had just arrived at their
destination. Tho following particulars
we gather from the letter referred to
above: The entire party had landed
safely at AbbeviIle. where they were met
by their kindred with conveyances. The
wagon containing the ladies and chill
dren, while crossing the railroad. was
run over by a passing train, and Mira. r.
D. Montgomery and little Della, the
daughter of Mr.. Nelson Montgomery,
were instantly killed, while Thomas, a
small son of Mr.. r. d. Montgomery,
was seriously injured. The accident oc.

in the neighborhood. In behalf of our

The 6an5ing facilities Of Columbia de-
serve notice at our hands, As matter
allied to tho prosperity OF the city.
The Carolina National Bank, the Gem
trail National Bank, tho Citizens Savings
Bank OF South Csrolins, the South Ga
rolina' Banking and Trust Company, and
the banking house of Edwin J. Scott,
Son & Co., embrace the banks at present
doing business here. Each has its pa
irons. and all are apparently doing q
business advantageous to the stookhold-
srs ard enggestive Of suocessful manage
mont.
OF these institutions, We are enabled
to speak more especially OF the Citizens
Savings Bank. This is an institution
which. in its tendency to encourage sav.
ings on the part OF the young and the
laboring Glasses. deserves encouragement
for the special good it is calculated to
accomplish. The bank, here. we know
has had this effect. With ten branches
tributary to it. it is accomplishing good
wherever it has stretched out it's hande,
and its large deposits indicate the conf
dence it has inspired.
In expressing our opinion as to the
success Of the banks here, we must add
that we hope ere long to note the fac,
that their rates OF interest have been
lowered. It would help the cause oil
public enterprise and development II the
rates could properly be reduced. and We
commend this suggestion to the consid
Grafton Of the boards of direction con.
trolling these interests. We believe il
free trade, and do not undertake to dio
tate, but it is for the directors and Of
fcers OF these institutions to consider
whether, in the long run. their own in
terests would not be promoted by the
reduction Of interest.
We shall, in our next issue, refer t
other advantages of general characte
that may be claimed for the capital o
South Carolina. We may. aowsvs.
here remark that the Columbia Board O
Trade is an organization that is zealousl,
guarding the interests of our city, an,
looking to the oity's development b,

Tho Temperance Advocate and It's
Cause.


Cause.
We have been observing with satisfac.
ton the efforts which this paper is max.
ing in the direction of the important
cause to which it is devoted. or late,
much interest has been excited in behalf
OF the temperance movement. in this
city, there is fourishing lodge. and We
record with satisfaction that it has
already accomplished q great work. It
has arrested the downward career of not
a few promising members of the commu.
nifty, and no doubt its good influences
will be substantial and enduring. Such,
at least, is the hope and expectation that
We have cause to indulge. The move
ment against the demoraIizing effscts OF
strong drink deserves the sympathy OF
all good citizens. In the last number OF
the Adrocate. we notice very suggest-
i've article as to the amount of money
expended in this city for drinking spirit
nous liquors. We believe that here, as
elsewhere in this country, this is seri-
GUS evil. It is an evil, too, that ought
to be combatted, and we are pleased to
find one journal devoting its efforts to
this special reform. Let it proceed
wisely and disoreetly, and it must do a
good work.
