A tolerably well to do family in the western

for 3 number of years been it's main-etay and

the father Of the children, who had for a long
time been addicted to the excessive use OF in-

Of more money, took his daughter. a beautiful
and promising yonng lady, about II years
Of age, into what was once her
mothers bed reom, and there took revolver
from his pocket and pointing it at his daughter 8

THE WRoNG SPRING.-The following story
is from Bartlett Springs, where, as is we'll
known, there are number of springs possess"
ing various qualities The water of some is re-
commended for drinking purposes, of others
for bathing, or for the cure of certain diseases,
but one to which our narrative refers is small
soda spring, the water of which is considered
an excellent drink, and spring recommended
for the cure of corns.
1t seems that an old gentleman who was
troubled with corns made it practice to go
to the soda spring every evening and give his
corns q soak before turning in for the night,
under the impression that it was the corn
spring. The aristocratic visitors also made it
practice to go to the soda spring and take a
drink before retiring, which was usually q lit
tie after the old gentleman got through soak
ing his corns. They were rather fastidious in
their tastes, and would very often rinse out the
cup before taking drink; but one evening
one of them happened to come down little
earlier than common, and found the old gentle
man soaking his corns as usual. The high
toned chap Indignantly demanded what he
meant.
Amt this the corn spring?' meekly inquir-
ed the old man.
Corn spring This is the soda spring.
WELL said the old man, Il thought there
must be something wrong; l have been COM
ing here every night for week, and could
not see as it helped my corns Bit
The water of that spring has been neglected
since that evenng.-Sutter Cat) Banner.

O OTEMpoRA, O MoREs !-On Saturday after
noon last we witnessed on the streets of Ches-
ter q sight which we had thought never to have
seen. We saw respectable white lady being
dragged to Jail by q negro constable for an
alleged contempt of negro court. The lady
was Mrs. William NJ. Robins. She had been
arrested on warrant issued by B. F. Michael,
a negro Trial Justice, upon the complaint of
one Nathan McAliley, another negro, that she
had made an assault upon him. While The
bond for her appearance for trial was being
prepared, Mrs. Robins remarked that she was
done with the niggers on her plantation that
they gave her so much trouble that she did
not intend to have any more OF them about her.
At this Michael flew into rage, accused her
of having insulted him, and ordered that she
should be confined in the common jail OF the
County for twelve hours Tor contempt of
his court. In vain did she discam having
said a word about the court; in vain did she
deny any purpose to insult the lrlal Justlcc !;
in vain her counsel, General Walker, assured
the Trial Justice that the remark had no re-
ference to either him or his court; the COM
mitment was written out, placed in the hands
of Isom Grier, negro, and orders given to
him to carry the prisoner TO Jail. The poor
woman was led of, terror stricken at the idea
of being iacarcerated in Jail, and at the un-
paralleled outrage that was being perpetrated
upon her; and this manifestation Of fear on
her part gave occasion to crowd of savage
and 'fiendish negro women to gather around
the constable and cxult in the spectacle. The
husband of the unfortunate lady could think
of nothing else to do than to run to Judge
Mackey for assistance. The Judge came upon
the scene, and by some means induced Michael
to countermand his order and discharge the
prisoner. This is the plain, unvarnished story.
We will not trust ourselves to make any COM
meuls; /; but will leave it for every white man
who reads it to indulge in such reflections as
the bare recital of the facts may call up in his
breast Chester Reporter.

Bills Receivable Of the State.

The Greenville Republican is not pleased
with the idea of Governor Moses, favoring an
issue of one million dollars and upwards in
the Bills Receivable of the State, and says:
We don't believe that the business of the
State requires an addition to the paper currency.
Natural causes will and are relieving the strin-
gency. Cotton is going on just as fast as the
prices in the Northern markets warrant it.
The increase of currency will only induce
speculation.
But above all it will be most unfortunate
that South Carolina, with its bonds selling for
a mere nominal price-ruled from the board in
the Stock Exchange-should now put more
paper on the market in any form. 1t will only
tend further to destroy confidence, and prevent
arrangement of our bonded debt and the plac-
ing it on an honest and living basis, which we
hope is honestly intended
We fear that such an issue will be regarded
with so much doubt by business men as to
destroy utterly the prospects of the least posi-
BILE good it might do. 1t will not be worth or
passed at par. Large corporations which owe
taxes will absorb enough of it at heavy dis
count TO liquidate their liabilities. Sharpers
and political tricksters will manipulate, and
they, and they only, will be benefited by it.
This is no time for any such experiments.
