A Black Picture.

The World correspondent at Colum-
bia, S. c., draws black picture of the
legislature now in session. What can
be hoped for the advancement of a State
thus politically degraded? He says j;
Dark colors being fashionable in win
ter, everything here may be considered
in the height of fashion.
The president of the Senate is me-
gro the speaker of the House is a ne
gro; two-thirds of the members of both
houses are negroes; the chairman of
nearly every important committee is a
negro; door-keepers, messengers, and
other attaches are negroes the clerk
Of the House is negro the Lieutenant
Governor is negro Convict in the Uni
ted States Court); the State Treasurer,
and in fact all the State officials except
two. are negroes the members of Com
gress are all negroes except one, and
the few whites associated with this ig-
norant and degraded black crew look
meaner than the darkies themselves.

Things for the Thumb Of the Thoughtful.


1t was charged by the Liberals in the
late campaign that the Administration
press was circulating talsehoods con-
cerning Horace Greeley, the Liberal
candidate.
Witness how within a fortnight that
press without exception has eulogized
the man it SO lately reviled.
T. It was charged that the North Caro-
lima election was carried by fraud,
Witness the bargain by which Merri-
mon was elected United States Senator
and the threatened investigation into
the frauds STAYED off.
1t was charged that members Of Con-
gress were corrupted by Cakes Ames
with his Credit Mobillier stock.
Witness the explanation of Garfield,
the statement that the money was used
for 'charitable and political purposes, :"
and the committee of investigation sit
ting with closed doors.
It was charged that the San Domin-
60 scheme would be revived.
Witness the purchase of Samana Bay,
the mission of Secretary pelano to the
West India Islands, and the open ad-
vocaey of annexation by the Admins
tration press.
1t was charged that the policy Of the
Administration and the party was one
of Capitalization.
Witness the recommendations in the
Presidents message of magnificent
schemes of internal improvements to
be made by the national Government
It was charged that another feature
OF its policy was interference with local
self government.
Witness the action of Judge Durell
and President Grant and the use Of
Federal troops in Louisiana and wit
ness the kindred transactions in Ala
bama.
It was charged that such men as
Simon Cameron were the ruling spirits
in the party.
Witness how the Senate at Cameron's
bidding refused to allow any tribute tt
be paid the memory of Horace Greeley
1t was charged that the party was
corrupt.
/ Witness the election of United State
Senator'S by bribery in South Carolina
and by trickery and fraud in Alabama
We recommend the thoughtful citizer
to put his thumb on these suggestive
facts and watch the progress of events
And that we may do the party no in
justice we name here the only promise
or profession it has approached the full
flment Of In the matter of civil ser
vice reform, though the mischievous
Jessee R. Grant, the dishonest Casey
and the incompetent Cramer have no
been removed, there has been an assist
ant Postmaster promoted in Philadel
phia.

CHAPPED HANDs.-It is said that
honey is an uniailing preventive for
chapped hands. When washing the
hands, or rather when having washed
them and while they are still wet. rub
on them a little honey, and then dry
them, taking care to leave the honey on
and not rinse it off before drying the
hand,

PROPER PLAN.-We note that a
bran new plan of managing the we'd
ding present business has been intro
duced out West, which we rather like.
Instead of anybody giving the bride
spoons, napkin rings, little mugs, cra-
dies and sich. the wedding comes off in
church. and a fee of twenty-five cents
is paid at the church door by each per
son who attends to see the show,
and then the money is given to the
bride. The above is respectfully sub
mitted.

pels him to float q flag of another
nation, above his property as bur
densOlae imposition upon people of
this valley, and is policy only wor-
thy of past age.
Fifteenth, Refers to the fact that
every civilized nation except ours
uses iron hulls for vessels, and asks
Congress to ascertain the cause of
this, and apply the remedy.
The sixteenth asks that the laws
be so amended as to restore the
prestige of American commercial
marine, and enable it to do its share
of carrying on the trade of the
world, and that if it is necessary
that the American iron masters
must be protected from foreign com
petition, by laws which eTectuany
interdict iron steamers on the
rivers of this valley, and which
drive its products into English and
German ships on the ocean, there
should be some substantial Govern
ment Encouragement given to the
construction of iron vessels, and
such Federal patronage as viii sus-
tain American steamship lines
against tins unequal competiOn, and
thus lift our once great merchants
marine from the disgraceful inferi-
orty, and keep the lives and proper
ty of our people from being longer
imperilled in wooden ships and
floating tinder boxes.
The Congressional roll was called,
and among those present We're the
following from Tennessee: Senator
Henry Cooper and COngressmen
VIM. Crutchfield and W. e. Whit
thorne. ~
There are also present GoYerDor
WoodsOn, Of Missouri; Governor
Noyes, of Ohio; Governor Walker,

a pennsylvania Gas VeII---Re C
markabIe Phenomenon.

The Titusville Courier of the 27th
ultimo gives the following interest
ing particulars of the Newton well,
six miles north of that city: 1t has
been down about twenty days, and
has continuously poured forth such
a volume of gas that it was found
impossible to pump it, as the valves
would not work. The tubing was
pulled Wednesday and the well
cased in order TO let the gas blow
of, so that it might be pumped. At
ter the casing was put in, the sand
pump was lowered for the purpose
of agitGting the well, and the gas
raised column of water, throwing
a solid stream into the air hum
dred feet. The noise was terrific,
and could be heard for a distance of
more than two miles.
The noise was something like the
loud roar of thunder, and when the
column burst at the top it threw the
water each way for fifteen rods from
the well. The water was exhausted
in about twenty-five minutes, and
then column of gas followed, rising
with tremendous force fifty feet
above the derrick. The OutpOuring
of the gas makes a roaring noise
that can be distinctly heard for two
miles from the well. The noise
around sounds like the rushing of a
whirlwind. The column can be
seen a mile from the well. As soon
as the attempt is made, with such
force does the gas come ont that the
tools are carried into the air. From
descriptions of eye witnesses this is
probably the greatest gas well ever
struck in the oil region. Up to last
evening the gas showed no signs of
being exhausted. The people in
that vicinity are very much alarmed,
and the cattle run about the fields
perfectly wild with fright.
