Additional Circulation Of Greenbacks
for the South.

Mr.. John Jay Knox, Comptroller of
the Currency, is thus reported from
Washington:
.'He believes that the whole of the cir
cula,ion authorized by the act of July
12, 1870, will be issued before the meet
ing of Congress, whereupon he will make
requisition upon the Eastern banks for
the withdrawal of S25,0O0,0OO OF their
currency, to be distributed in the West
ern and Southern States, as provided by
this act. He considers the provision in
the law relative to this withdrawal as
mandatory upon him, and not discre-
tionary, AID that the requisition upon
the Eastern banks will place the curren-
cy quest on under the law in such con-
dition that Congress will take immediate
action upon the subject, either by re-
pealing the sixth section of the act or by
passing a law authorizing the issue of an
additional S25, 100000 for the West and
South, as proposed in his last report, or

The project for the National Govern
ment to assume the dents Of the South
ern States has been actively canvassed
for year or more. Here is what the
Baltimore SIM has to say On the subject:
'.The suggestion of the measure doubt
ass originates with those who have been
parties to the enormous frauds commit
ted in the South, and who would now
like to ''realize' for rthedepreciated bonds
they have on hand. Naturally enough,
the Southern people generally, suffering
as they are under the frauds put upon
them by carpet-baggers and their instru-
ments, would readily assent to accept re-
lief from the general government or any
other quarter, but at the same time the
measure is one to be considered in the
light of broad principle and sound poll
iey, while its true objects and probable
effects are looked ut also. HHl the South
ern States been left to- govern themselves
after the war they would, notwithstand-
ing their. great losses in that struggle,
have gone ON to rebuild and pay the hon
est debts made by themselves, and South
ern securities, without doubt would have
stood as high to-day as any in the finaii-
-cial markets Of the wosId. 'i

Kirksey's \ Roads, SC,


MAJ. u. w. CARwILE,-Deur Si1 and
Brother.-The occasion of your visit to
us in your afficial capacity Of District
Deputy Grand Master, in October OF last
year, was one of much pleasure and
profit to the members of the Lodge gen.
orally, but more particularly so to those
few older members who were present
when you were installed as their first
Master, upon the organization Of the
Lodge, in 1856, and to quite number of
others who were received into the Lodge
during the four years you remained
with and presided over them. Those of
us who have since been, ,enrolled as men,
bers of our mystic order here, were also
exceedingly gratitied to have among us
the Brother to whom was first entrusted
our Warrant of Constitution, and one
whose precedents have had so lnuch
weight even to the present day.
At the communication following your
said visit, the Lodge was heartily unaiii-
NOUS in determining to show You its
grateful rem embrance of your past SER
vices; and accordingly commissioned
me, as your then latest successor, to
procure, and in, behalf of the Lodge
present you, a Past Masters" "Jewel, "
as token of its appreciation Of your
eminent service, as it's first Worship
full Master.''
Unavoidable circumstances prevented
the completion and arrival of the Jew
el,, until now and it not being the wish
of the Lodge 10 have a public presenta-
ton. avail myself OF the opportunity of
sending it by a Brother. Hoping you
will receive it safely,
remain Fraternally your Brother.

d Death of a:worthy Young Ma


Mr.3J! Garvin Wightman, son of Mr..
j. w. Wightman of Augusta, and a
nephew of Bishop Wightman, died at
Johnston's Depot on Wednesday, the
10th, under circumstances peculiarly sad
and moving. In taking laudanum on
Wednesday afternoon, for the relief of
hemorrhoids, from which he suffered
often and intensely, we understand he
swallowed an overdose of the poisonous
drug, which terminated in his death be-
fore medical attention could be rendered
available. His character is said to have
been of the best, and his prospects in
life. fattering. His remains were taken
to Augusta for interment.

all things being in readiness, Master Reynard

the foolish animal amused himself and the
spectators by rolling in the dirt, until the
minutes ofgracc had elapsed, when the dogs
to the number OF % or 30, were let loose, and
the air rcsoundcd with their music. The fox
did not wait for ali interview, bat bDrn lei

On Wednesday morning of last week
when the thermometer was below zero,
Ezekiel West, aged one hundred and eigh-
teen years, came sleighing into our town,
and after warming himself while at the
hotel he proceeded to the art gallery of A.
Mccormick for the purpose of having his
photograph taken. In the meantime we
obtained the following synopsis of the life
of this remarkable case of longevity from
his son-in-law, Benjamin F. Davis, who
accompanied him, and with whom he re-
sides: Ezekiel West is of Irish decent
was born in Hartford Co., Md, in March,
1855. He was brought up to outdoor
labor, never learned any trade or mechan-
ical business, did not marry until gay
young man of between fifty and sixty, that
he was the father of fourteen children, four
of whom died in single day from lysen-
terry, and four Of whom still survive.
About siXty-tive years ago he moved to
this State, and for many years past has lived
with MIR. Davis, in New London township,
Chester county, about six or seven miles
from this borough.
Mr.. West is regular in his habits, rises be-
fore the sun in the morning, takes good
degree of exercise during the day, enjoys
good appetite, is plain in his diet retires
about seven o'clock in the evening. He is
cheerful and laxative, delights in relating
the incidents and hardships of his earlier
life, was never in any military service and,
as his opportunities for obtaining an cduca-
ton were very limited, has little recollection
ofthe revolutionary period and early history
of our government.
He does not exhibit that appearance OF
extraordinary age that would be supposed.
1t is true his hair and beard rival the snow
for whiteness, and his form stopped when
walking, yet there is snap ofelasticity in
his step that men of fifty years hisjunior sell
dom exhibit. 1t is not more than five or
six years since he would take out his gun
and bring home creditable amount of
squirrels and other game. He is regular

A Spirited Fox Chase.

Mr.. EDITOR AS you frequently invite cor
respondents to notify you of any interesting
events that may have taken place in their rcspec-
tive localities, will avail myself of the oppor-
tunity and give you sketch of fox chase from
this place, on Saturday last, which afforded n
pleasant relief from the tedious monotony of
our usually quiet community.
On Thursday night of last week, several young
men from this place, (not regularly hunters,
captured q fox, and decided to have q hunt on
Saturday, and accordingly notified the hunts
men around the neighborhood of,their intention.
THE GATHERING.
AS the fox was kept but one day, there was
not sufficient time for an extended notice; but
there were however, seventeen hounds brought
in and shut up in the stable; and there was pres
ent at least forty men and boys, most of whom
Joined in the hunt, some mounted and some on
foot. An interesting feature of the occasion
was the presence ofabout dozen ladies, (among
whom l recognized the pleasant faces of several
from your town. who were attracted here, not
which, Mr.. Editor, was a grand sight and well
worth few miles ride to see.
THE START.
The fox was turned loose at half-past eleven
o'clock, in the meadow, just back of the store
house, and as long as could be seen was swiftly
making bee line for the Susquehanna. After
start of twenty minutes, the doors of the stable
were thrown open, when q stalwart huntsman

ed suddenly to the right, and the hounds being
too anxious, over-run the trail For half mile
they were closely followed by two ambitious am

mistake and ceasing to yelp returned to the
trail The two horsemen not hearing the cry
thought the hounds far in advance of them, and
giving easy rein to willing steeds dashed swiftly
on with Gilpin speed, until they reached the
high lands two or three miles east of Bynum's
run, where on hating they could hear nothing of
the dogs, when they returned to the scene of the
hunt, no doubt with the consolation that they
had the swiftest and the longest ride if they
saw less of the hunt than some others.
REWARD EARTHED.
The fox made spirited chase of about three
hours and took refuge in hole in one of his
native hills near Winters Run. Your correspon
dent was one of the two horsemen who first
reached the den, and can say, to the credit of the
dogs, that on counting noses found that SEVEN
