COLUMBIA, MORNING. DECEMBER H. 1874 VOL x

The NAvY.-The report of Score.
tary Robson shows the navy to be in
remarkably efficient condition, con-
tanning I63 war vessels, with an arma-
ment of 1,254 guns. Twenty-six of
these vessels have sail-power only,
leaving steam navy of 1877 vessels Of
all classes. One-half of the steam navy
adapted to cruising is now in aotual
service. He recommends q gradual
and constant addition to tho navy, to
supply the places of worn-out vessels.
The Secretary refers briefly to the Vir-
ginius affair, the yellow fever at Pensa-
cola, gives IN extended review of the
great naval drill, and alludes favorably
to tho public marine school system. A
novel feature of the report is an &C.
count of an effort to secure the emi-
grafton of Icelanders to Alaska. A
commission of Icelanders was taken to
Alaska on the steamer Portsmouth.
They made Reconnaissance, and havo
just returned to San Francisco. The
Secretary believes they nrc we'll pleased,
and will return home and recommend
an immediate emigration of those
hardy fishermen and sailors, who, if
they do not like Alaska, will doubtless
settle in the neighboring Territories
further South.

UNIFoMITYI IN BALLOTS. Represents
tive Sener, OF Virginia, will Introduce
at an early day bill to make the Cali
fornia election law national-thnt ie,
to provide that all ballots shall be
similar, and devoid of distinguishing
features, and in this way to prevent
intimidation and interference OF the
polls. This plan has much to COM
mend it. but it will, doubtless, be op-
posed by those who have been accus-
toned to manipulate the colored vote.
An impudent oarpet-bagger named W.
T. Clarke, elected to Congress from
tho Galveston (Texas) District by the
negro vote some years ago, it is said,
had printed in New York prior to the
election ballots with backs like playing
cards, and the negroes were duly
warned to vote only "De playin' card
ticket" Ii Mr.. Sener's bill become es
law thore will be an end to such de-
vices as this, and tue spread eagles and
portraits OF Lincoln, Grant and other
celebrities will no more grace the bal

HEART DISEASE is somewhat of
q coincidence that Mr.. Gardner, who
was tue late Mayor Havemeyer's up
pointee rs Commissioner of Docks,
should die AS suddenly, on Friday, as
tho Mayor did on last Monday. He
WAS going to his homo, VIXEN he fell TO
the ground and expired. The preva-
lence of heart disease among promi-
nent public men and merchants, in
New York, is to bo noted. The deaths
OF Mr.. Sturges md Mr.. Talbot, last
week, were very sudden, though they
were carried off with pneumonia.

Seegers VS.. Cincinnati Beer.

l. nishipg announcement that Cincinnati
beer is no longer pure, but adultcratcd wit b
molasses, sugar OF starch, fusel oil and the
poisonous colchicum. The Commissioner
Of Agriculture, in his report for 1865. says
hat Prof. Mapos. OF New York, analysed
the beer from dozen different breworios,
and found all OF it adultcrated. Cocculus
Indicus and nux vomica entered largely
into it's composition.
J. q. SFEdERS guarantees his beer to be
pure and reliable. He does not adulterate o
it, but brews from the best barley, malt

F. Stokes, Esq. being called, he .ap.
peared, and took his aeat at the bar,
BE Was wrapped in his cloak and his
long hair, silvered over, hung over his
shoulders. giving him a venerable and
solemn appearance. Inaasss sas Cooke ed.
dressed him in very feeling and
solemn tone. saying: "Mr. Stokes, I
have sent for you this morning with
the view of making an effort once
more to the end that you may be re-.
lleved from your imprisonment. The
Supreme Court has sustained the
action OF this Court, and the Court
thought you would comply, but you
have not, from some cause or other.
It appeared that there might be some
ground for the Court to have you dis
charged, and it felt disposed 10 give
you the benefit Of any doubts. The
board OF physicians have made their
examination, and under that return, I
cannot discharge you. I have had
you brought into court to give you one
more opportunity to come upon the
stand and obey the law, and not set it
at defiance by setting up your own
Judgment against the highest tribunal
OF the land, the Supreme Court. Your
case has been the esabiect of meditation
by the Court day and night. It seems
strange that ycu set up your judg-
nent against the Court. I give you
one more opportunity; say yea or nay.
They say you have the ability to ma
mage your peouniary affairs, and the
report shows further that they regard
you as being capable of taking care of
your person. If you comply with the
requirements Of the law, you will be
discharged. IF you refuse. it will be
the solemn duty Of the Court to re-
mand you into the hands of the Sheriff.
If you 60 to Jail, your health may be
impaired. or you may die; but the law
must be obeyed."
After attending to some other bnsi-
ness, Judge Cooke again addressed the
defendant in these words: "Mr.
Stokes. your silence indicates that You
will not comply. It is, no doubt, q
source OF npleasantness to you to be
paraded through the streets, coming
to and returning from the Court, in the
charge OF the Sheriff. You will, there.
fore. be remanded until you signify
your Willingness to comply with the
law; and when you feel inclined 80 to
do, if you will inform the Court, it
will consider your case"
Mr.. Stokes rose from his scat and
was escorted by Sheriff Southern to
the door, when he was taken charge of
by Mr.. Harrison and escorted back to
his quarters in the jail, the Court in
structing tue Sheriff TO grant the
prisoner no moro privileges than was
allowed to other prisoners, inasmuch
as the County paid his expenses.
On motion Of Whitner Symmes, act
ing Solicitor, it was ordered, that mas
much as there were no grounds Coz
tained in the return of the Board of
Examiaing Physicians that would au
thorize the discharge of Mr. Stokes, it
was ordered that he be remanded.

OF lncendiary flames has become we'll
nigh as familiar to us as tho sunlight
OF heaven. Scarcely day passes.
literally, that we do not hear of some
Infamous incendiary fire within the
limits OF our County. Women and
children tremble with apprehension
throughout the night; and men have
begun to sleep in their gin-houses ms
naturally as in their chambers. We
make list of these fires, to bear us
ont in what We affirm. SiGoe the 10Th
or Goth Of November, when the mill of
B. F. Mays, Esq, was burned, some
eleven or twelve other citizons within
radius OF twenty miles, have been
similarly damaged. Only four or five
days ago, the handsome dwelling house
OF Col. B. NJ. Talbert, two miles from
Rehoboth. WAS entirely destroyed.
This was the old family homestead of
the Talberts, and the house was one Of
the best in Edgefeld County. Col.
Talbert's loss is fully $4,000. Mr..
Press Blackwell, of the Dark Corner.
has lost large store Louse, and q
barn containing a large quantity of
corn and fodder. His loss ia esti.
mated at ~, 600. Mr.. James Moss has
lost gln-house, with considerable cot
ton and cotton seed. Mr.. E. W. Dow
ty, living over on tho Western side.
has lost Clubhouse and four bales of
cotton. DR.. Rushtoh, of the Bethls-
hem section, has lost a barn or gin
mouse. with considerable quantity of
cotton. In this house was cotton be-
longing to negro who had voted the
Conservative ticket. A citizen. named
Piper. OF the Clouds Creek country.
has lost cotton house, with cotton
and forage. Mr.. George Strother's
blacksmith shop has been burned.
Mr.. Harry Reel, Of the Duntonsyille
neighborhood, has lost crib or barn.
with some 1875 bushels of corn, Mr..
Scott Allen has lost eight or nine bales
OF cotton, and with difficulty saved his
gin-house. Mr.. John Hollingsworth
mas iost two out'buildings, with two
valuable vehicles. In only one of
these cases is white man suspected.
and he is now in our Jail. In no other
case has an arrest been made. In the
face OF this state of things, is it any
wonder that Col. Bacon should have
introduced his lynch law resolution in
the meeting of Monday last? Or that
our people should have endorsed the
resolution? Of all lawless demons
these house-burners are certainly the
most lawless. In fact when you have
this sort of lawlessness to deal with, the
best way is to seize the perpetrators by
tne throat and waste no words with
them. Intense caution and grim pa
tience are not always marks either OF
wisdom or statesmanship.

HorrIhle Denth by sufFOcatIon.

A terrible catastrophe happened at Penn
on Monday, whereby two men were suffoca-
ted by foul gasses from a privy vault, and
another so overcome from the effects of the
same that powerful restoratives were found
necessary to save his life. The names Of
the parties whose cases proved fatal were
John Stetter, German, and William
Blackburn, an Irishman. They had just
finished making an excavation some twenty
feet deep alongside an old privy vault, be-
longing to the Penn gas coal company, for
the purpose of tapping it, and had assembled
assembled to the surface, when the German
remembered that he had left crowbar at
the bottom. He descended for the pur-
pose of securing it, and, feeling the effects
of the noxious gases made haste to get out
informing his companion to assist him. AS
he assembled, Blackburn reached him his
hand, but it being wet Stetter was unable
to retain his hold and fell to the bottom.
Blackburn alarmed some others near by,
who proceeded to lower him blackburn for
the purpose of bringing Stetter up. Reach
ing the bottom, he, too, was overcome, but
was speedily drawn out and medical aid
summoned, which was responded to by DR..
Kemmerer. Restoratives we're administer
ed and he was soon able to walk about. A
few hours afterward, however, he became
worse, and after lingering short time ex-
pired. VIM. Simmons, in his heroic efforts
to withdraw Blackburn from the pit of
death, came near meeting similar fate,
but as he did not descend to the bottom the
effects of the poison were more easily coun-
teracted. AS it was he was insensible when
taken out. The parties were both married
men, Stetter leaving wife and two chill

In n Bad Fix.

There is railway agent at Hagerstown,
Maryland, who would probably like to re-
sign. The "Southern Circus and Men
agerie' came to that place upon freight
train the other day, and as the proprietors
could not pay the charges for transporta-
tion, the cars were seized by the agent and
switched off upon a siding, where they
have remained ever since. Upon the
agent, Mr.. Way devolves the duty of feed
ing the elephants, tigers, hyenas and boa
constructors, and they have already eaten
up considerable more than the amount of
his claim, while as all the children in the
village congregate about the menagerie
every evening, Mr.. Way is obliged to spend
his spare moments in efforts to keep the
geological collection from devouring the
spectators and making the company liable
for damages. The situation of the man
who held the tiger by the tail, and was
afraid to let go, was cheerful in comparison

B- A few miles from Fort Madison,
Iowa. is an apple orchard growing in the
midst of dense forest. The peculiarities
of the trees are first, the shape of the leaf,
which is much larger than the ordinary
apple leaf, being long and quite slender !;
second, they bear fruit of the finest flavor
and parties come for miles around to taste
them, and some take leaves and press them
to keep as curiosities. An old settler re-
lates that about I795 Red Wing, famous
young chief on his return from st. Louis,
spent few days at st. Charles, Mo-, then
a small settlement, now hourishing city.
While there he was given few apples to
eat, which he seemed to enjoy very much,
and asked for some of the trees. One of
the settlers procured some twenty five
young sprouts and gave him the necessary
instructions in planting them. These he
carried distance of one hundred miles to
his home, and planted them around his
wigwam. The famous old chief Black
Hawk gave this as the true origin of the
trees They are upward of eighty years
old, and from present appearances, will
live many years TO come.
