The WhcelIng CONVENTION.

We are authorized by the Chairman Of
the Republican Congressional Committee
Of this District, Geo. Edwards, Esq, Of
MoundsvilIe, to say that half fare tickets
to the Convention that meets
here on the Sd of September
next, have been arranged for at
ClArksburg and Parkersburg. Delegates
from Doddridge and Richie counties can
buy local tickets to one or the o.her Of
thesc places, and there secure the benefits
oIthe reduction in price. The railroad
company does not feel justified in making
the half fare reduction at points where
at least twenty-five tickets are not likely
TO be sold. The Psrkerburg packets will
make slight reduction to delegates at all
points along the river between Parkers-
burg and Wheeling.

The Citisens' Savings Bank.

The Hon. T. G.. Perrin represented the
Abbeville creditors at the meeting that
took place in Columbia on the 18th inst.
He informs as the result of his observa-
tion, that the assets of the Bank are Of
a better character than he expected to
find, and that there has been no evil
.dence of mismanagement on the part Of
the Bank officers, but that the Bank has
been forced to succumb to the pressure
of circumstances. We extract from the
Pheniz the following minute of the
proceedings:
I'm pursuance of notice published, o
meeting of the creditors of the CitIzens'
Savings Bank of South Carolina was
held this evening, at 7 o'clock, at the
banking house, in the city of Columbia,
before e. NJ. Seabrook, Registrar. The
following proceedings were held:
The following resolution was passed,
to wit:
We, the undersigned, being three
tourths in value Of the creditors whose
claims have been proved, do hereby de-
ternine and resolve that it is for the in
terest of the general body Of the credit
ors that the estate of the bankrupt
should be wound up and settled, and
distribution made among the creditors,
by trustee" under the inspection and
direction of o committee of the credi-
tors.
This resolution adopted this 18th JAN
uary, A. d. 1874, at the first meeting
of the creditors of said bankrupt.

marked than THAT of last year; Al
though this School is more especially q
Preparatory School for Wofford College,
yet students are prepared for any, other
College or for business. In the absence
of school of high grade In Abbeville
we take pleasure in commencing this
School of our neighboring village to
those of our citizens who have sons to

THE CONTEMPT CAsE.-The action OF
Judge Carpenter in striking from the
roll Of attorneys the names Of the most
prominent members of the Columbia
Bar, because they saw fit to transfer the
case of the Citizens Savings Bank, to
the Court of Bankruptcy is exciting the
well-deserved censure of the press Of the
State. These gentlemen have diselaim-
ed any intention to give offence, but
claim to have only exercised their pro-
fessional privileges in the matter. But
the Judge announces that he will be
satisfied with nothing short of the per-
formance of an impossible condition, the
restoration of the assets of the Bank.
But how he can exact this after the de-
cision of Judge Bond, passes compre-
hcnsion. His conduct seems to be arbi-
trary and tyrannical.

ALMOST STARVATION,


Editor Abberille Press and Banneri
Many strange things are published iq
newspapers and many are not true, but
can give you an unprecedented case,
that is true-a horse, the property Of
Nelson Brooks was supposed to h8ve
been stolen in Christmas week. Every
effort had been made 70 find or hear Of
the horse, but without success, till 2
fey days ago, he was found in the tiy-
cry Stable of Mr. r. F. Riley, having
been fastened up IN sqid stable, by acci-
dent and there repained three weeks
without water, and the only food he had
in that time was about one hundred
pounds loose hay-that had been left in
the stable. This, Mr.. Editor, certainly
establishes a very important fact in
these hard times, that horse can live
three weeks with feed or water. b.
