pondent of the Columbia Herald--whc
some times writes as citizen of Edge:
field, and then of Charleston, and Of
Union, and other points always
with the animus of the contemplate
Yankee Bummer, which he doubtless is,
-one who LETT his country for his coun-
try's good, and who would defame and
plunder our people and country because
that's his nature,-we publish the an
nexed item from the Aiken Journal con-
cerning the death of Canby,-the tyrant
and oppressor of Carolinians when he
had them under his thumb. With this
item the said State correspondent can get
up as good, if not better letter from
Aiken, than the one he dated from Edge
tield,-that is, if he will sandwich" his
comments with the full quota of "down
easttwang" and Puritan:cal philanthropy
usually characteristic of his letters. The
Journal says:
"Gen. Candy has been called humane
by all the Northern newspapers, but we
fear the Southern papers cannot do like
wise. The people of this State have not
forgotten the zeal with which he execu-
ted the orders of that party, whose grand
object was to crush our people-to put
down the whites and to elevate the me-
gro-nor do they forget how prompt he
was in sending his bayonets as an argu-
ment in settling questions both criminal
and civil. We are merely passive; we
hear of his death neither with sorrow or
pleasure, and only hope his latter deeds
were unlike those perpetrated among us.

DR.. E. 7, Avery, who was convicted Of
violation of the enforcement act in the
United States Court, in December, 1871,
but who made his escape, and has all the
while been at large, has been pardoned. by
President Grant.
This notorious Ku Klux, as the Union
called him, though convicted, was per,
fectly innocent. The proof was cover
whelming and conclusive" at the trial
there was not case at the time in which
it was otherwise-for there were witnesses
on hand ready to swear anything. E'nt
it has since been proven, at least to Pres
ident Grants satisfaction if not the Uaio1,
that DR.. Avery had nothing to do with
the outrages with the perpetration Of
which he was charged. If Gen. Grant
had not been satisfied that DR.. Avery was
innocent, ne would scarcely have pardon
ed one who had so boldly defed the law,
and we have the Union as authority for
his being pardoned.-South Carolinian.

March, 1873, in Galveston, Texas, with
CONGESTION Of the Lungs, Mrs. MINNA
c. MUSE, the affectionate: Wife OF DR..
J. E. MUSE, and daughter of Capt. EU-
GENE BURT formerly of Edgeheld Coun-
ty, South Carolina. Aged 81.
Thus friend after friend departs like

bered with the friends Of the happy days

When War had not destroyed the
peace and happiness of our countryss;
when all were happy and prosperous, II
was the pleasure Of the writer, from
whom this imperfect tribute comes. 10
know the subject OF this notice, than
whom none was more loved and esteemed
for her many virtues, her beauty ofperson
and character. Those who knew her
best loved her most, and to all she was
the same generous friend; affectionate
daughter--k sister-loving wiie-and
devoted mother. And in her death there
is void that can never be filed in the
heart of an affectionate and self-sacrifi
cling husband; and in,the affections o1
her children and friends her place can
never be supplied. e
She now sleeps the. sleep that knows
10 waking, in the silent "Cty of the
Dead farIfar away from the scenes o'
her childhood; and the gentle breezes
sing mournful requiem over her grave
She leaves large circle Of friends,
an aged father, sisters, husband and chill
dren, to mourn her loss and to cherish
her memory; and to think Of as one
gone to her Fathers home. Altho' she
expressed her regrets to leave her sor.
rowing husband and little children in
this world of care and serrow, yet she
said that if it was Gods will to take her,
she was willing to die; and entreatec
her husband and children to meet Aier

When 1ife's duties they have done,
They'll see her face again, - -
In that eternal world above.

France in a Ferment.
New YORK, April 26.

A special cable dis ,asch to the World
from London says that dispatch receiy.
ed there from Paris shows conclusively
that the gravest apprehensions are felt in
the highest and the best informed political
circles of Paris Of an almost Immediate
civil war. The recognized Monarchists
have been rapidly gaining strength, and
are now determinedto to have Theirs thrown
over, let the cost be what it may. An
energetic effort will be made to defeat M
Buffet and elect M. Martel to the presi-
dency Of the Assembly, and it is doubtful
if the Right will be able to keep Buffet in
the presidents chair. Theirs is determin
ed to force the Assembly to establish the
Republic OF to accept his resignation. The
city of Lyons is seething with excitement
It b kept from open insurrection only by
the most extraordinary efforts Of the sol
diers and police, and the least troubles
elsewhere will precipitate a Crisis there.
In Nice and Savoy there is a great deal
of dissatisfaction, which is actively TO
mented by Italian revolutionary agents.
Paris appears on the surface quiet; but
the extraordinary precautions taken by
the authorities, reveal their apprehensions
and prove that there is strong foundation
for the gravest tears Of trouble. 2

Decision OF the U. S. Supreme Court
on the Homestead Act.


The recent decision OF the Supreme
Court of the United States on two cases
up from Georgia, in which the decisions OF
the Supreme Court Of that State are re-
versed, are of great public interest. They
are not only Of interest to the legal pro
fession, and to the parties concerned, but
to al persons holding homestead exemp-
tions, and their creditors, and to all credi-
tors who have claims dating back anterior
to June l, 1865. Some serious compllca-
tions may grow out of these decisions, de-
claring the homestead act unconstitutional.
The following brief statement OF tne
decision we clip from the Macon 1sSs-
graph:
In Gum Us Barry, the constitutional
ity of the homestead clause OF the con,
stitution of 1868, and of the laws passed
in pursuance thereof, was passed upon.
Gum had applied to the Superior Court
of Randolph county for neaasdan'.ts to
be directed to Barry, the sheriff OF the
county, to require him to levy certain
f ia against one Hart, issued upon juog'
menu 1or d uepS Sous1sS 1910
adoption Of the constitution OF 1858
upon the property Of said Hart, which had
been set aside to him as homestead un-
der the act of 1868, upon the ground that
the act was unconstitptional and void, so tai
as it prevented the levy of such i ia, OF
provided for larger amount OF exemption
than did the laws in existance at the time
the debt was contracted. The Superior
Court refused the ma7adam,ts and tne
State Supreme Court affirmed their r decl-
sion; but Upon writ of error to that Court.
the decision was reversed by the Supreme
Court of the United States The effect
of this is to render void all assignments
of homestead and exemptions of personal
ty under the act of 1868, so far as tney
may affect debts contracted before the
adoption Of the Constitution OF 1868.

Representative Graham "Rises to E1-
plain" OH the ".yays that are Dark"

To the Editor of the EageGcld Advertiser
A communication over the signature
of John H. McDevitt appeared in youl
paper of the 24th, denying the correct
ness of the published report of the pro-
ceedings of the meeting held at Richard
sonville on the 18th Of this month; and
also making certain statements or char
ges against me by way, I suppose, OF re-
taliatior. I am willing at any time to
| meet John ii. McDevitt before the peo-
pie of Edgefeld on the question of char,
acter-challenge him 10 prove 4 single
charge made by him-and here advise
him, that he cannot command the respect
or esteem of his fellow-citizens, or salts
fy them that he is an honest man, merely
by making lying statements or charges
against any one. here state boldly that
the account of the meeting at Richard
sonville is correct in every particular,
and no one knows this better than Nc
Dewitt himself.
When John II. McDevitt can show that
he is not forger Of School checks-has
not robbed the poor children of the coun-
ty of the money appropriated for their
education, and is not daily buying up
checks, and is not a political incendiary,
endeavoring in all of his speeches at pub
lie meetings to excite animosity between
the white and colored people, it will be
time enough fer, him then, to ask for and
claim the good opinion of the people OF
Edgefield. AS it is, hc4tands now be-
fore them charged with too many crimi-
nal offences to occupy an Office of trust
and responsibility, in which, by the way,
he is only retained by the assistance OF
those WHO are benefited by his dish0n-
esty.
further state that John H. McDevitt
and Senator Cain promised to meet me
at Ridge Spring on last Saturday, where
q public meeting Of the Republican party
was to be held. The meeting was held,
and it was resolved, with only one dis
senting voice, that John II. McDevitt
should be removed, not only from the
office OF County Treasurer, but also from
the position Of Chairman of the Board of
Managers of Election. John II. McDev-
lit and Senator Cain did not mako their
appearance, dotorred from SO doing,
doubtless, by the Waterloo defest and
rout at Richardsonville.
On next Saturday there will be another
meeting at Jack Gholsen's, to which Nc
Dewitt and his corporals guard are invi-
ted, and where they. can test the strength
of their position in the Republican party
of Edgefeld County, and John McDev-
lit can vindicate his character-if he has
anyill
I here boldly assert that McDevitt, in
his communication in your paper, has
Ied in every particular, and will not, I
am satisfied, be believed by any respect
able person even on his oath.
He knows that am responsible for
avery charge / make against him, and
need not try to shirk any issue between
ma by squibs in tho newspapers. I Iapa !

Murder of Gen. Candy.

General Candy was born in Kentucky
and graduated at West Point, below the
middle of his class. He entered the SER
vice as second lieutenant Of infantry.
In the Mexican war, he was on the staff
of the old hero, Gen. Bennett Riley, and
acquitted himself well. In that war, as
at West Point, he was modest, quiet,
retiring gentleman and had the esteem oil
all good people.
At the outbreak of the war in 1851,
he deserted his own section and cast IN
his lot with their enemies. He seems to
have won rank and reputation in the Fed
eral service and was one Of the six Brlga-
diers appointed in the Regular Army, on
the peace establishment. He was given
command of the Department of the Car
olinas, and carried out ruthlessly all the
cruel measures of q remorseiess Congress.
The war against his own.land and people
seemed to have destroyed all his nobler
qualities, and to have transformed him
into the usual type of the renegade. A
citizen of Charlotte was present in Rich
mond, when Gen. Candy personally super
intended the hanging OF white man up
by the thumbs, for kicking an insolent ne
gro out of his saloon.
Jim Lane cut his own throat. Stanton
most likely committed suicide, King
drowned himself Oneby one the oppres-
sors of the South come to an untimely
end. Some of the most atrocious are now
covered with infamy worse than death. Is
it accident or is it retribution?
The history of renegades is getting to
be instructive. Mr.. Lincoln deserted his
own people, violated his conscience and
stultihed his sft-expressed opinions BE
was foully and atrociously murdered, in
the hour Of his triumph. General Thomas
pledged himself in Lynchburg at the out
break of the war to stand by his neigh
bors and kindred. Seduced by Office, he
fought against them. At the close OF his
brilliant military career, popinjay was
put over him and he dropped dead in San
francisco. Old Brownlow vas the strong
est pro-slavery man in all the South. But
he cast in his lot with the kbolitlonists
and prosecuted his own people. He is
now a paralytic and almost a drivellng
idiot. Professor Mahan was an ardent
Southernsrand could hardly find language,
wherewith to express his abhorleDce OF
the disunion Abolition party. He afilia,
ted with that party during the war, and
became very bitter against his own section.
He was superseded, when his work was
done, and threw himself into the Hudson
in the madnessof his despair. Who would
not rather be crippled Confederate SOL
dier munching crust of corn bread, than
poor Longstreet, The pet of Grant and the
idol of the Louisl. thieves ?-Charlotte

WASHINGTON, April 81.

WASHINGTON, April II.
It is intimated in official circles that
Gov. Kelloggs action in sending the mill.
tia INTO the interior of Louisiana, to make
arrests and preserve the peace, was brought
about by hint from Washington, that
unless some steps were taken by the State
authorities to maintain peace, the Federal
government would not feel it their duty
to continue to protect them. Kellogg was
notified that he was expected to show
more backbone in the administration Of
the duties devolving upon him, and not
to rely upon being kept in office by the
force of the United States military.

The Comptroller has of course refused,
and Messrs Morton, Bliss & Co. will, it
