it is hoped that it will continue to
make its daily risings regular here
after.
A csll was made by the Wagner
conservatives last week on the occasion
Of the Mayoralty election for United
States troops The call was not hon
ored, it being thought that the civil
authorities were able to preserve peace.
The Anderson Intezligencer, &C.
knowledged to be one of the best Of
our county papers, has lately added
to its fixtures one of Campbells Power
Presses, the last number Of the paper
being printed on it. We congratulate
our friends, Messrs. Hoyt & Murray
on this evidence of prosperity in their
business.
| Various exciting dispatches from
Friar's Point, Ark, have been received
lately of negro uprisings, and Of COLI
sions between white and black. Late
dispatches say that nothing serious is
spprehended, and the trouble exists
between rival wings of the Republican
party to control in the coming election
in that county.
Three negroes, a few nights since,
attempted to gain entrance to the resi-
dence of Mrs. Ray, widow lady,
living a few miles above Laurens Court
House. Three other defenceless fe-
males were in the house without male
protection. The attempt was made
| 20 batter down the door. An alarm
was given, and fortunately a a8eighbor
| came to the rescue, when the mis-.
creants fed. <.:.5 .,,. 80.
| Elections occur this year in the fol-
lowing order: Iowa and Ohio, October
IL; Virginia, Kansas, Maryland,
Massachusetts,, Mississippi, Minnesota,
Missouri, New York, New Jersey and
Pennsylvania, November 2; Texas,
December 2. Some of these States
elect Governors and other State OIL
| GERS, and all of them elect members of
| the Legislature: mississippi also elects
congressman.
This is step in the right direction,
and We trust that the suggestion may
become general, and practice which
| entails serious loss to farmers be eaec-
tually stopped. It is time that the
depredations of thieving miscreants
| who raid upon honest industry be
stopped, and the best way to do this
! is to punish the buyers. We cannot
put our hand on any Of these men,
bat do know that there are too many
of them, and they should be made to
feel the strong hand of the law.
The Charleston Express is authority
that the late iaeursion isto Charleston
of the great unweshed, from the noun
| tains downWards to the sea-. was hap
PLY conceived by the Mackeyites as
an election dodge, that the colored
| excursionists, when they arrived in
the city, were farmed out by the Ring
and solicited to vote. AS the unWashed
| excursionists left on Monday night
| and the election was held on Wednes-
day, it does not appear how the thing
worked.
The Greenville Republican has
ceased publication, and the Office ma
terial and subscription has been sold
to the Daily News. Mr.. Runion,
Editor, in retiring says that the
paper has not been paying for
some time, and for this and the
other reason that the political situa'
ton is satisfactory, there is but little
necessity for his issuing it further.
It has fought the fight without pay
and retires on its laurels. What will
| the NeDs do now without Bro. Rurion
as target.
Laurens Court adjourned on Satur-
day, I'd, after despatching a large
amount of civil business, and the
Herald summing up, says: ''Judge
Moses, whatever may have been said
by the Press of his Circuit few
months since regarding his lack Of
industry in despatching the business
of the Court, seems to have given en-
tire satisfaction to the Laureps Bar,
| at the close of the recent term, as ex.
pressed to his Honor by several lead
ing members of the same, in terse and
elegant terms"
The Alexander Montpelier Female
Humane Lottery, lately drawn at
Alexandria, Va, has proven to be q
fraud. Not a single dollar was drawn
