lars when new, and struck the back of
her head against the stove hearth with a
violence that added materially to the dis
play Of fireworks already going on.
Wickfork's s boy was struck in the mouth
with q skyrocket and had two.thirds of
his hair taken off by aroman candle, and
was knocked through doorway by a
piece of ordnance just introduced this
season, and which will undoubtedly be-
come popular when understood better.
He was afterwards fshed out of a rose
bush land taken home in tablecloth.
O'Clarance remained during the en-
tire exhibition, looking at it from various
positions, and when it was over with he
was put in sheet by the neighbors, and
saturated with oil, and then covered with
molasses and -four. We learn that new
skin is already forming on parts of him,
and if no unfavorable symptoms set in he
will be out in fortnight, although it is
not likely he will mingle much in society
until his hair and eyebrows commence to
grow. He thinks Wickford's boy is
dead, and they dare not tell him to the
contrary until he gets stronger. Singu.
larly enough, Mrs. O'Clarance escaped
injury by burns, but the blow on hci
head was so severe that she cannot beal
to have her back hair drawn up as high
as it was before, and missing her church
privileges is sore trial to her.

The News and Moses.

For some weeks the readers of the
Charleston Neaos have observed cool
ness in its tone when speaking of our
"young native governor and his ad-
ministration. This GOODNESS has now
passed into positive attack. It's article
headed Face the music in another
column, only repeats the arguments
which we have been using for months
past in the REPUBLICAN. We are glad
to gee that circumstances have occurred
which may permanently secure the servi-
ccs of the NeUs in aid of that course.
The News also calls attention to the
charges made by the Colleton Gazette
against Moses, 1t says:
The Colleton Gazette radical news
paper, of which Mr.. G. I. Mcintyre,
State senator from Colleton, is editor
and proprietor, has printed from week
to week, for several months past, a series
of charges of the gravest kind against
the public and private character of the
Governor OF this State. These charges
are strikingly circumstantial, and names,
dates and amount are given with what
appears to be studied carefulness to
say nothing that cannot be sustained by
irrefragable proof.
1t was not our purpose to notice, at
this time, the onslaughts of the Gazette,
but the statements made about Governor
Moses, in the last issue, are so revolving
as to demand instant attention. The
charges are too foul to be even limited
at but this we may say : II the Collet-
on gazette tells the truth, Governor +,
J. Moses, Jr., is the most infamous OF
public men; and if the Colleton Gazette
does not tell the truth, its. editor and
proprietor richly deserves a long term In
the State penitentiary. 1t is not Tor US
to say whether Mcintyre or Moses is the
real criminal. We know nothing more
about this thing than we see printed IN
the columns of the Gazette. But 1t Il
evident that Governor Moses cannot
afford to remain silent. Only his wors
enemies would advise him to keep his
mouth shut in the face of charges
infinitely more heinous than those which
after months of proud reserve, forced
man like Henry Ward Beecher to pub
lie and percmptory denial of their truth
Governor Noses must speak, or Ce con-
demaed Jy default The alternative il
not pleasant one; but there it is, ant
from it there is no escape.

Will a Bird poison its Imprisoned
Young.

1t has often been asserted that birds
which are allowel access to the cage
where their young are confined, after
waiting until they are old and strong
enough to fly, will then destroy them if
they fail to make use of their wings.
This has been tested of late IN our
city. Two boys anxious to reara brood
of young mocking birds, as soon as they
were fedged, placed three of their num-
der in large wire cage, which was sus-
pended from the bough Of tree near
the original parent nest.
The old birds were quickly on hand
and greeted their young with most eX-
travagant demonstrations of joy. Soon
they began to bring them worms and
grasshoppcrs and other food, and once
the female actually pressed the door of
the cage open and shared for a brief
season the captivity of her offspring.
Restored to liberty, she resumed her ma
ternal ministrations, and for near week
the little birds seemed happy and con-
tented and in thriving condition. The
parent birds continued most assiduous
in attentions, and the boys were sure of
a .bevy of sweet songsters which they
hoped to dispose Of at q round sum for
pocket money.
But alas for this hope. The old birds
disguised and disheartened at the tardy
progress their bantlings who had been
SO tenderly watched over and provided
for, resolved to punish them even unto
death, for their culpable neglect Of this
patient training. Accordingly, as is
supposed they administered the fatal
poison which stretched them all lifeless
on the floor of their prisen.-Aacon TEL

A GREAT TINE IN DANBURY.
True Reason Why Mr.. O'Clarencc did
not Appear in the Firemen's Pro.
cessiOn.

From the Danbury Ncws.l
The fremen had parade on Saturday.
1t was fine affair, but the absence of
Mr.. O'Clarencc was deeply felt, not only
by the department, but by the public.
Ills long and faithful services at the
business meetings and festivals, and his
splendid bearing on parade, have given
Mr.. u Clarence an cnviablc position in
the hearts of his countrymCn. We are
sorry he was not present Saturday. But
an unlocked for and very painful accident
deprived him and us of great pleasure.
The night which preceded the last
anniversary of our nationalindependence,
he took home twenty-five do lars worth
of fireworks for a splurge on the next
night. lie calculated he had glory
enough in that package to fill with
gratitude and admiration every taxpayer
Oh North street, and his wife, after care
fully examining the:Iot, was equally con-
fidcnt the neig gbors would make their
eyes bung out" as she pensively ex-
pressed it.
The next morning O'Clarcncc got out
the bundle to look it over again and feed
on the anticipation. There were there
cannon craclers-seperal packs-and
roman candles, and bluc-frc, and pin
wheels, and rockets and the like--a very
crcditable assortment for any family.
Mr.. Wickford's boy from the next house
was in, and sat on the floor holding a
piece of lighted punk in his hand, and
had both his eyes and mouth wide open
enjoying the sight. O'Clarence was
sitting on his launches, holding a pin
wheel in his hand, explaining to Mrs.
UClarcncc how chcaply they could be
made in China, and how superior in
ingenuity and industry were the Chinese
to all other races. None of them know
how it happened, but O'Clarence re.
members that there were two open packs
of cannon crackers just under him, and
thinks Wickford's boy must have in
some way dropped the punk in among
them, and in the general interest forgot
that it was afirc.
g At any rate, there was sudden hiss
right under Mr.. O'Clarcnce, followed in
the next instant by tornado Of sounds
and sparks, and that gentleman at once
shot toward the ceiling in blaze of va
rious colored lights, while the air became
thick with sparks bluelights, blazing balls

and s,reeching crackers. Mrs, Clari

A Freight Road.

Parties in Chicago and New York
City, in view of the fact that trade will
eventually be largely diverted from those
points because they are not on the short
est and cheapest line Of communication
between producers and consumers, are
making an effort to save themselves: as
far as possible, by the construction of a
strictly freight road between the two
points. A writer to the Chicago Tribune
who claims to have been one Of the orig
iuators of this project, lays down the
following as his plan for the construction
of such Road:
First-Build three track road from
Chicago to New York. and as nearly on
an air-line as possible: think the road
could be run inside of 800 miles. Build
all iron bridges. Never cross any rail-
road; build under or over in all cases.
Second-Build, or cause to be built,
freight cars especially adapted for the
road and its business Never run car
of any other line of road over this road;
neither allow one of the cars of this road
over any other.
Third-Run freight cars ON two of the
track ut q speed Of six miles an hour.
This rate OF speed causes but little wear
and tear, and forms the time table that
is required.
Fouth-Run cattle trains on the third
track East; to be returned light, or
loadcl on the up-freight track. The
cattle.train would run on time table,
and at speed of - or Is miles.
Fifth Under speed of six miles,
freight would be carried to New York
sooner than it now is, and more reliable.
Trains could be loaded and sent forward
lust as vessels are loaded and towcd out
of your harbor.
Chicago wants no more roads
for passengers, but she must have in
creased facilities for getting rid CT the
vast amount of produce that she is now
receiving, without taking into account
the great increase she will get withir
few years.
Seventh-Chicago must bear in mind
that there are other places that have an
eve to the vast trade she is now getting,
which is not half what she will have
within the next five years, if retained
E,gh: :h-Ncw York City must join
Chicago in this matter, else she will find
some OF the cities on the seaboard seek
ing this very trade.
Ninth-Thc business men and capital
lists of both cities must join hands in
this enterprise, and keep speculative and
railroad ring men out. There must be
no stealing or manipulating, as III very
many cases which | know.
Tcnth-The cost of this road, ready
for the equipments, will be about as
follows:
500 miles, three track road, say
about $4,000 per mile, is..Sj6, coo, 600

Congressional.

The rcdistricting of the state for the
congressional election of next fall will
be one of the most lively subjects OF
discussion this winter in Columbia.
We have five congressman but only
four districts at present which obliges
us to have one congressman at.large.
This is very unsatisfactory arrange
ment to all parties, as the congressman
at large has no constituency to whose
special interest he can be attentive.
lie has no. influence at Washington
and cannot secure an appointment
without incurrlng The opposition of
some one with q district. The Scna-
tors will not allow him to interfere
with their patronage, and the position
becomes merely ornamental.
We hear that an effort will be made
to change our district by the union of
Beaufort with Barnwell, Edgeficld,
Aiken and Lancaster. Candidates are
already beginning TO lay the wires.
Every county will have one, if not
more, who are willing to go TO Wash
ington. Here Gen. Smalls and Lieut..
Gov Gleayes are said to be in the field.
Gen. Whipper will probably be a
candidate from Barnwcll. The other
counties arc not vet heard from.

The Largest Bona Eide Circulation.
No more Time needed.

1t is said that more time is TO be
asked for in which to carry out the
provisions of the act for the redemp-
iion of lands held by the government
in the county. We hope the asked for
cxtention will be refused by Congress.
We certainly shall use every effort to
prevent any extention. In place of it
we shall urge the commissioner to give
the whole subject of the direct tax sales
and the consequent complications a
little more of his attention.
Our people have been looking for
ward to the expiration of the two years
fixed by the act with great pleasure
The occupancy of lands and town
property by the United States has
been an unmitigated nuisance. Espe-
cially has thus been so in the town.
The houses have fallen from one stage
of dilapidation to another until they.
have become dangerous to the, health,
lives and property ofeur citizens. No
improvements can be made upon ad-
joining property because of the filthy
condition of the government ruins, the
disgusting character of their inhabi-
tants aud the danger from fire. 1nsu-
rance is increased in cost to neighbor-
ing properties and in some instances
refused at any price. When the prop
erty is rented no sanitary regulations
can be enforced by the town. The
outhouses and yards may be ever so
filthy but of they are cleaned it must
be at the expense of the town.
No improvement is possible until
the United States divests itself abso-
lutely of this property. Every inter-
est in the community suffers by a long
er continuance of the occupancy of the
general government, and every inter
est will be, we hope, exerted to bring
1t to a speedy termination.
The difficulties in the way Of redemp'
tion are mainly those which would dis
appear before an earnest desire to sur
mount them. If the business was CIV
en- to the hands of a man who wished
to spesdily settle it instead of being
left to the charge of clerks who go
about it in the regulation style OF
Washington bureaus, learned in the.
modes "How not to do it,, a." the time
is ample to return TO the former own
ers every piece of property to which
any claim will ever be made. There is
much Of so cut up that it is valuable
to no one. If the time was extended
for fifty years there would still remain
enough for clerks and officials to cor
respond about and draw salaries for.
Let the books aud records be sent
here. Let the orders be to aid and not
retard the work of redemption. Let
the act of congress be obeyed in the
spirit in which it was passed, instead
of the modes Of the Circumlocution
Office. If the wo,k cannot be done as
contemplated by the act, instead OF
asking for more time, let new act be
passed simplifying and providing for a
more speedy method. Above all, let
us have settlement, and let the United
States get out of the real estate busi-
ness.
