The Prince of Wales can not keep
out of debt with an annual income Of

and estates are provided for him and
are not taxed.
We have read whole column (and
very interesting) about the "Mattison"
case in the pages Of our lively neigh
bor, the Grcenville ';Nesos." But our
friend has forgotten to tell us what has
become Of the case.
The Charleston NeWs & Courier
says that Col. Rion, of Counsel for
the State, intends to push the pro-
ceedings against ex-Treasurer Parker
in spite of his flight. When price
is put upon his head it thinks the ex-
Treasurer will find it too warm either
in the United States or abroad.
Charles Reade, the celebrated nov
elist, battles mantully for an interna-
tioual copyright law. His letters to
the Tribune are full of sense and
vigor. It is abundantly plain that a
man should be entitled to the work Of
his brain as much, as to the work OF
his hands. The centennial must set
tie the question, ..;.. ... .. .....
Mr.. Edward F. Stokes, the talented
but unbalanced lawyer of Greenville,
who has been; lying in Jail for nearly
two. years, has been discharged by
Judge Cooke, on the recommendation
Of medical, board composed Of able
physicians, who find the condition Of
his mind abnormal on the subjects Of
religion and politics.: They call it
"partial idational INSANITY" y"-Whatever
that may be. The Judge, who is GER
taiuly free from all blame in this mat
ter, and who is a better judge of pro-
fessional language, thought himself
justified in discharging the poor man
on the above recommendation.
We are very anxious for the COM
pletion of the Spartanburg & Ashe
Vile Rail Road but we are very sor-
ry to see the sectional spirit exhibited
at the Hendersonville Convention Of
the Stockholders. Mr.: Kaufman, as
Secretary and Treasurer, had certainly
done. everything in his power to ad-
vance the interests of the road, and
Whv was he not retained? Charleston
has more interest in the road than the
balance of this State and North Caro-
lima combined, and why should she
not have control? We may be too
ignorant of the whole matter to express
an intelligent opinion, but the action
Of the Convention is certainly to be
deplored.
Reecher breaches at the Twin
Mountain House to immense crowds.
Whatever we may think Of him there
is certainly good sense in the follow
ing extract from his late sermon:
"Many people," he said, ''think
that when they get religion they must
| cease to laugh and be outwardly hap.
py. Humor is a gift of God, and
there is wind of laughing that will
swell the sails of those who are going
to heaven, as we'll as wind Of groan-
ing. Beware of religion that simply

The doves circle around my house and
barn. and never come down for car

dead lamb, down he. comes. There

are crows"
There is rebellion in Herzegovina,
one of the dependencies of Turkey,
and the sultan cannot suppress it by
ordinary force. The Grand Turk is
evidently sick. again. We think it is
high time for his doctors, England,
France, Germany. Austria and Russia)
to send him to Asia, his native climate.
and let him take all the little. Turks
along to nurse him. .... D..
The irrepressible conflict between
the Cross and the, Crescent has en-.
tered 50 much already into the insur-
rection in Herzegovina that the proba'
bility of a. religious war" arising
from it is very great. The hatred Of
the Turks among the Herzegovinians
and kindred people is intense, and ap'
pears to survive wars which ended in
utter defeat. As late as 1852 the
Herzegovinians maintained struggle
against Turkey for nine months, and
although then overpowered by an army
of $4,000 men, they appear to be as
rcsolute and as uncomfortable to-day
as ever.
