Hook and Ladder.

In accordance with resolution of the
Board Of Mayor and Aldermen the May
or will open and hold an election on
Tuesday next-election day-submitting
proposition to the qualified voters of
the town of Bolivar, to levy tax of five
cents on the one hundred dollars worth
of property for the purpose of purchase
ing an outfit for a Hook and Ladder
Company.
The people have now an opportunity
of deciding for themselves as to the me-
cessity of making any provision against
loss by fire. A first class fire between
now and Tuesday would have a tenden-
oy to carry the proposition, but as it is,
VIC suppose there will be many votes
against it.

SHOOTING AFFRAY.-On Monday a
difficulty occurred between Scott Chiles
and Henry Lomax, at the Buzzard
Roost, in this County. Chiles' dog was
running LonaX's COW, when LemaS
struck the dog. Chiles attacked Lomax,
and q fisti-cuff fight ensued, in whirh
LomaX got the best of it. After they
separated, and Lomax had started home,
Scott fired on LomaX, nine shot taking
effect on the side stomach and temple,
none of which will likely prove fatal.
Scott is in the calabose at Hodges, in
failure to give bail of S300.00. Henry
gave bail for $125.OO. We are indebted
to Mr.. John LomaX for the above par.
ticnlars.

MIR. Stephens on the Situation.


The Hon. "a. II. Stephens has been
addressing hrge audiences in Georgia,
on the absorbing political topics of the
day, and exhibits much of his old force
and. .eloauence. At Greensboro the
crowd was too large to be accomn:o 0 lated
n the Court House, and he harangucd
them in tie open air. The speech is
given at length in the Chronicle and
Sentinel, and breathes throughout q
spirit of wisdom, and is replete with
sage and earnest counsel. 1t sets forth
the true principles of the Government,
and shows how departure from these
has brought about all the evils under
which we are laboring. The right Of
local self-government, according to Mr..
Stephens, is the seminal principle which
lies at the basis of all our past prosperi-
ty-a right jealousy guarded in the
colonial charters, recognized and re-
affirmed in the Declaration of Indcpen-
dence, in the Articles of Con 'edcration,
and in all Congresses and Conventions
from 1774 to 17S7-and the overthrow of
which, by the reconstruction policy, has
brought unnumbercd evils upon the
South. AS a remedy for these, he urges
us TO apply not to the arenaof arms but
the forums of reason aud justice-the
Courts, the legislative halls; and if these
Gail, to the ballot box. This is good
advice to South Carolinians as we'll as to
Geo.gians, though the remedy promises
to be more effective there than here.
At any rate lis all that is left us, and
we cannot hope to effect anything by
invoking revolutionary remedies.

rious purchases from our stores; the
mule being in playful mood, conclud-
ed to practice some of his tricks while
crossing the creek, and in the twinkliug

of the water scared the mule so that he
ran home. Since that time Mr.. X.
