While the funeral services of Mr..

Tuesday in the Methodist Church at
Ridgewny, an accident occurred
which came near proving fatal. The
church is oeiled overhead, but
the garret is not foored. Tho sexton
who had ascended to the belfry to
toll the bell, on desc ending tho lad
dor, lost his footing, and was precipi.
tated upon one of the planks of the

the conoussion, but fortunately was

AS is generally known, Duvall,
the Sheriff of fairfield County, has
boon mysteriously absent for several
weeks. Ever since his departure
from Winnsboro, his wife, Mrs, NJ.
A. Duvall, has asted as jailor, and
her account for dieting prisoners, on
being presented to Judge Mackey
while here last Thursday, was duly
approved by that off oial,
with tho remark that tho lady
in question having tho custody of
men, and holding official position,
affords at least one practical exem-
pliication Of the assertion of WON ems
rights in section Of country where
tho question has never beon mooted.

THE LAST RED.-On Monday last
Coroner Ruff invited eye local" and
several other gentlemen into the
Sherift's office to witness tho opening
of Sheriff Duvall's safe. We, as a
matter of course, expected to see piles
on top ofpiles of greenbacks in it's
vaults, but were badly mistaken.
When the heavy iron door swung
open, eager eyes .peered in to see
what the Sheriff had left behind him
in his sudden fight, bat nothing was
found but a fow papers and u lone
some, nasty, filthy, dirty .dilapids sted

Camden, bearing date Of December,
1866 aye local" being considered
/ he honest man Of tho party, the
precious liuie je,0eI was intrusted to his
care, and strange to say he has it yet.
AS the books have not yet been ex-
amined we are unable at this writing
to say what Sheriff Duvall's liabili-
ties are, but rumor says he will fall
behind eight or ton thousand. This
is another fruit borno BY the great
republican party, who olnim to be
honest and upright in all their ga ay;ngs
and doings. I'VE beg our readers to
refer to the past record of this party

Corruption in Office.

Some things always appear to the cye
yefra:ted and exaggerated in their proper.
lions. It's probable that corruption IN
Office is one Of these. As the detailed re-
port Of monstross crimes makes II some
times seem as il the whole land were be.
deviled, and all>mcn plunged into MUIR
der and rape, whereas, in fact, it is a very
few and remote crimes multiplied in the
repeating mirrors Of the daily press. SO Is
single case Of, official corruption, like
that Of Pomeroy, or James Brooks, seems
contagious and cumulative in its indu.
ence Of disrcpute-it seems as if the
whole atm osp.lerc At all legislative bod
les were infected by the pcstilential breath
Of one venal man. There is, doubtless,
n good deal of secret corruption in pub
lie officers; but we conjecture that there
Is far less than is rumorcd and believed.
For two days now, the State Senate
has discussed Senator Cox's bill to pun
,sh bribery at elections. Senator Dom
nelly said he remembered time when
the politics OF this State were pure. he
was nominated and elected twice to Con
gress, he said, without the corrupt cx-
penditure of single dollar But there
had been woeful change. "Now the
reign Of corruption seems to be almost
universal. 1t has reached such a pitch
that it has driven lecency and honesty
from politics and left it to the knaves.'''
When the Senator alleges, comprehen-
sively, that politics shave been left to the
knaves," he has perfect right to confess
for himself, but we do not see what right
he has to confess for ANYBODY else.
The fact that uniformed and perhaps
malicious persons have combined to en-
deavor to create al impression in some
bascr communities that even the Senator
from Dakota has been approached sue
ccssfully by the venal hackers Of one job
or other, ought to teach him the ilnpro.
prioty ofspreading similar reports. to the
discredit of others. Let the anti bribery
bill pass, however, if it is good for any
ahing.-lEx.
