TFrom the New Orleans Herald.l
On Tuesday. while the police reinforce
ments were mastering at the first district
precinct, and "Goyernor" Kellogg was in
attendance to witness their preparations,
and to fire their hearts for the fray, a tall,
well dressed, clerical looking parsonage pre-
sented himself at the door Of the station,
which was guarded BY t@o metropolitans
with muskets. The gentleman inquired Of
the sentnels if he could see Gov. Kellogg.
They crossed their maskets aud told him
"No; be could not enter" He persisted
in his demand, declaring that he had i'm
portant business with the Governor, and
must see him. A corporal approached him,
and asked him his name.

inc Kissing Deacon.

In one Of our puritancal towns in New
England, says an eastern paper, lived Deacon
! Brown, very dignihed sort of christian
aperfect model Of propriety. Deacon Brown
had the mlfortuue to lose his wife, and at
the age Of forty. had found himself with u
family of four small children, without mis-
tress to bis farm house. AS he could not
immediately take another wife, and avoid
scandal, and could not get along without
some one TO take charge Of the kitchen
and nursery, he had recourse to employing
a young woman as house maid.
Nancy Stearns was laughing, ronping
beauty, who delighted in experimenting
upon the Deacon, by way Of testing the
strength Of human nature. For time
the Deacon was inyulnerable But at last;
he was led into temptation, and committed
slight indiscretion" with his beautiful
housemaid. When he recovered his wonted
GOODNESS and presence Of mind he was hor-
rifed at the enormity Of his sin. In vain
he repented and grieyed for his lost virtue.
Finally, sas last effort for easing his
troubled conscience, at the service on the
following Sabbath morning he arose aud
requested the forbearance Of the brethren
for few moments when lie electrified them
by making the following confession
"Aly Christian Friends: You know that
| lost my wife uomo time ago [sobs and
tears and that Nancy Stearns has been
keeping house for me. And you know that
! have little child not year old. Wen,
sometimes that child would cryin the night,
and it would be along time before could
quiet it and last Tuesday night-God for
give me the child cried SO hard that Nancy
arose and came into the room, leaned over
the bed to hush the chid--and, brothers
and sisters, her leaning over me there made
me forget Christ"
''What did you do?o demanded the min
lister, sternly.
Il + IL kissed her Y stammered out the
deacon, between his sobs, "but am very
sorry about it, aud prayed to be forgiven
and | want you to forgive me, brothers aud
sisters"
And the deacon bowed himself on his
seat like unto the mighty oak before the
tornado; then Deacon Goodfellow arose
and astonished the audience still more by
saying:-
"Brothers and sisters You have heard
what Brother Brown has said how he
wants our forgiveness For my part, / be-
lieye Brother Brown is truly peuitent, and
am willing to forgive him with my whole
heart. And, brothers and sisters, will add
still further, that had Ino wife, and q pretty
girl like Nancy Stearns should come to.my
room, and lean over my bed, and lean over
me-rd kiss her, sin or no SIM"

GEORGE d. PRESrIcE.--T following ID
an extract Of the writings Of Mr.. George
D. Prentice. II will be read, we think,
with pleasure:
" II cennot be that our life is bubble,
cast on the ocean Of eternity, to aoat mo-
ment upon It's waves aad then sink into
nothingless. Else why is II that the high
and glorious aspirations, which leap like
angles from tha temple Of our hearts, are
forever uHsatisfed? Why is it that the
rainbow and clouds come over rs with q
beauty that is not Of earth, aud then pass
of, to leave Ms to muse on their loyeiness
Why is it that the stars, which hold
their festival around the midnight thrones,
are set above the grasp Of our limited
faculties, forever mocking US with their
unapproachable glsry? And finally, why is it
that bright forms Of human beauty are pre-
sented to our views and taken fromns, leav-
ing the thousand streams Of our affections
to flow back like Alpine torrents upon our
hearts We are born to higher destiny
than Of earth. There is a realm where the
rainbow never fades, where the stars will
spread out before US like the islands that
slumber on the ocean. and where the beauti-
ful beings which pass before us like shad-
ows will stay in our presence forever"

The CoTroN CRof. The Georgia Chron-
icle publishes two interesting articles on
the crops Of the past and present planting
seasons, presenting views from Northern
aud Southern standpoint. That the crop
Of l872-73 will reach nearly CO,0OO, 600
bales is now conceded on all hand but
what the crop Of '73 and IA will be, IL is
idle to speculate upon SO early in the sea-
son. Whether it will be 3,500,O00 or A, ,500,-
900 depends not SO much on the area plant.
ed as upon the seasons. If they are iavora.
ble the crop will undoubtedly be large If
dniayorable it is idle to speculate upon dis
asters which will come upon us soon
enough. The South might produce crop
Of five million bales. but her people would
be no better off than they are now. The
supply would be in excess Of the demand
and with large crop there would necessa-
rily be a corresponding reduction in price.
We suppose it idle for us to dllate upon
the suicidal policy Of planting all cotton to
the exclusion ofthose other products which
every planter should raise in abundance
upon bis own plantation but still the fact
is there can be no substantial and lasting
prosperity in the South until her people do
raise their own corn and bacon.

Pain Killer.

There can be no necessity at this late
day, for the press to speak in commenda-
tory terms of this remarkable medicine,
in order to poromote its sale; for it is
medicine that is known and appreciated
the wide world through. When ever We
speak of the Pain Killer, as in the pres
ent instance, VIC do so in behalf Of the
afflicted, rather than with the view Of
advancing the interest of its propsietors.
For various diseases, such as rheumatism,
cholera, cholera -morbus, burns sprains,
bruises, and so on to the end of the cata-
logue, we are convinced that there is no
remedy before the people equal to Davis
Vegetable ''Pain- Killer" and we know
that thousands upon thousands entertain
the same belief. Certainly, we cannot
refer to the history ofany medicine which
equals that of the Pain Killer. 1t was
introduced in 1910, and from that time to
this its sale, both at home and abroad,
has constantly and rapidly increased, and
we rejoice at the high reputation it has
achieved, because this reputation shows
that is has been the means of relieving a
vast amount of human suffering. We
hope the present proprietors of Davis
Vegetable ''Pain Killer" will long live to
enjoy the prosperity which they have so
fairly won.

THE PECKSNIFFS.

The secretary of war says that he
believes Gen. o. o. Howard to be hon
est, but that he was surrounded by
bad men, who robbed the government,
the freedmen and the schools. We are
tired of such CANNON. The facts are
that the Freedmans Bureau, from its
inception to its close, was fraud upon
the people. 1t was a hospital for
broken.down preachers and poverty
sticken philanthropists' Gen. Howard
used it unscrupulously for his own
political advancement and his pecunia-
ry advantage. His Office was crowded
with the most disgusting lot of Peck
shifts ever congregated together. They
used the money Of the Bureau and the
funds of the Freedmans Savings Bank
as their private property, nearly if not
quite, causing the ruin of the later
institution. Real estate speculations,
patent brick companies, Howard Pre-
sidential clubs, Freedman's hospitals,
colleges, schools, universities, model
villages, agricultural schools, etc.,
furnished places for canting gospel
lers to prey upon. The money of the
United States was used to start and
keep alive all these schemes. Decayed
parsons became bank presidents, CASH
iers, principals, inspectors, professors,
actuaries and secretaries at enormous
salaries, often drawing at the same
time pay from the Freedmans Bureau.
We hope congress will order an invest
igating committee to thoroughly sift
every department and institution with
which Howard was connected. We
are confident that a rotten, reckless,
wasteful administration of affairs will
be developed in every one of them.

Mr.. EDIToR:-
On Saturday night last as the down
train from Augusta was passing Millett
station on the Port Royal road, a crippled
white woman in state of beastly intoxi-
cation was showed on the train without
the knowledge of the conductor. 1t is
supposed that this poor creature was
purposely made intoxicated and this
means taken to get rid ola pauper of
that community and saddle her on
another. 1t was suggested by the pas
sengers on the train that the station at
Millett be discontinued, as punishment
for such inhuman conduct, and that the
county commissioners publish the law
in regard to such matters.

To Destroy The Cotton Worm.

On the first day Of the session at India
napolis, Prof Chas. V. Riley, State En-
tomologist of Missouri, read short pa
per in reference to the cotton worm of
the South and its destruction. He said
that it had had been his good fortune to
experiment in the cotton field, but from
its success in ridding the Northwest of
the Colorado potato bug, and his expert
ence in the destruction Of pestiferous in
sects generally, he would without hesita-
ton recommend the use of Paris Green,
fully believing that at triaing cost-not
exceeding thirty or forty cents per acre
the cotton could be saved and future raw
ges be prevented.
He said it was singular, in view of the
fact that the damages from this worm
had reached so much as twenty millions
of dollars in single week, that no
legislative action had been taken for the
appointment of commission to examine
as to the nature and habits ofthis insect,
and to devise means for its destruction.
Our legislators, to save an expense of
four or five thousand dollars per year for
the employment Of an officer to watch
the interests of the people, and to guard
them against the depredations of insect
foes, have permitted the sacrifice Of crops
to the amount of many millions.
In using the Paris Green. which is
poison, mix thoroughly with cheap -four,
in proportion Of one part of Green to
twenty-five or thirty Of -four. Put the
preparation in bag of thin material, or
in perforated tin box, and attach to-.
the end ofa pole eight or ten feet in
length. Holding this in one hand, pass
it along over the row, tapping the rod
gently, and taking care that the wind
shall blow away from you. Apply when
the dew is upon the plant, and the least
particle of the dust will have the desired
effect. Used in this way it is perfectly
safe, and we earnestly urge trial and
,report.-American Farmers Advocate

The County Fiscal Year.

At the last meeting Of the county COM
missioners, Mr.. j. w. Collins, made a
demand for the payment of certain
checks held by him, issued by the old
board, dated subsequent to September l.,
1872 but previous to November 1, 1872.
The commissioners refused to order the
payment of these checks, taking the
ground that the fiscal year Of the county
commenced on November feach year.
Last week w. J. Verdier ESD, appeard
before Judge Maher, in Walterboro and
made application for writ to compel
the county commissioners to pay the
claims of Mr.. Collins. Judge Maher
granted an order upon the commissioners
to appear before him in Blackville, on
the 10th inst, to show cause why they
should not be ordered to pay the checks
issued subsequent to Sept. II 1872.
Ofcourse, the whole case will turn
upon the time when the fiscal year Of
the county begins and ends.
Ifit should he determined that the
year begins September l., very large
number ofclaims will be subject to pay
ment out of this years tax levy and we
may bid good bye to cash payments here
after. We shall regret such decision
as it will upset the very satisfactory basis
upon which the county finances have
been working since January last.

NEW York, Saturday, July S.

Frank Walworth was to day sentenced
to the State prison, at Sing Sing. at hard
labor, for life. Judge Davis, in address
ing the prisoner, said he had fearful
doubts whether his case did not justify a
conviction of murder in the first degree:
The prisoner stood the trying ordeal
with frmness, without moving muscle
of his features, and left the court with
his mother Immediately after the Judge
had concluded. While on his way to the
Tombs, after science had been pronounc-
ed young Walworth retained the self.
cnllected appearance by which he was
characterized through the trial. He
remarked to the deputy sheriff, 81 am
glad that I did not have to endure the
long lecture I had expected that Judge
Davis would infict upon me. I thorough
ly understand my position, and did not
desire any instruction in relation thereto.
I simply wish time to arrange my affairs
and I shall then submit myself to my fate
with all the equanimity I cam" Nh.
OConnor, it is understood, intends to
move at an early day fora new trial, or
for such farther proceedings as may give
the case new phase and, in addition,
to move that Walworth may be permit
ted to remain in the Tombs till the ques-
tions raised shall have been determined.
