THE GOVERNOR INTERVIEWED.

Mr.. Dawson of the News and Courier has
interviewed Governor Chamberlain on the
subject of the recent judicial election, and
that official declares it to be the greatest ca
lamity that has yet fallen upon any portion Of
the South. The election was had during the
Governors absence at Greenville, to fill an
engagement made several weeks ago and
though he does not believe he could have
changed the result had he been present, yet
before leaving for Greenville he had made an
effort to stay the election, and had received
such assurance from Speaker Elliott as to lead
him to believe that it would be either post
poned or fought off until he should return
from Greenville. But he is now convinced
that the conspiracy was carefully concocted
and that the color line, the party line and the
line of antagonism to his administration al
we're sharply drawn. To the question, "What
in your judgment, will be the effect of the
election of Whipper, Wiggins and Moses ?
the Governor made the following reply:
"The gravest consequences Of all kinds will
follow. One immediate effect will obviously
be the reorganization of the Democratic party
within the State, as the only means lett in the
Judgment of its members, for opposing a solid
and reliable front to this terrible crevasse Of
misgovernment and public debauchery. |
could have wished, as Republican, to have
kept off such an issue; but have profound
belief in the logic of events and a Providence
too, that shapes events; and [ do not allow
myself to think that the good and honest men
of South Carolina will find it impossible, be-
cause they are organized as Democrats, tc
give their help to whomsoever shall be best
able to undo the terrible wrongs of last Thurs
day. lam free to say that my highest ambi'
ton as Governor has been to make the ascen

THE GOLDEN RULE AND THE RULE
OF CODA few days ago gentle
man of this city received by mail a
check for $500. He deposited it in
his bank, and went down into the
street, there to be met by rumor
that sent him back in haste. Just
twenty five minutes had elapsed.
The teller's little door was shut.
The money had gone. Had it been
stolen? Was the banker a swindler?
No; he had failed. About the same
time a merchant received large
quantity of goods one day near the
close of business hours. He made
some commonplace excuse for not
making immediate payment, and
promised to send check the next
morning. The first announcement of
the morning was that he had failed.
He had the goods, but the real owner
was without his check. Was the
merchant thief9 Ought he to have
gone to jaiil Not at all. He had
merely suspended. He was unable
To meet his obligations. Two young
men were recently brought into one
of our police courts on charge OF
stealing shoes from a Third avenue
store, They were decent in appear
ance, and it was believed by some
that they had been driven to crime
by want. Had they failed, or had
they suspended! Or was it because
they were unable to meet their obli-
g.tions. Not at all. They were

mon thieves. They wee sent to the
penitentiary for two months.-New

A SUCCESSFUL RAILWAY.

In an article on the railroads of
the Great West In an Omaha (Neb)
daily paper, we find the article we
copy below. Coming as it does from
b paper published at Omaha, where,
as It is we'll known, not the most
friendly feelings are exhibited to-
wards any enterprise not controlled
by Omaha, its testimony is most
valuable. We quote as follows:
A POPULAR ROAD.
"In these days of ease and luxury
it is quite important that the traveller
should know, when going across
country where there are so many
competing lines as between Omaha
aid Chicago, on which road safety
and comfort is most considered.
Such road is the Chicago and
Northwestern. The present coDtroll
ing stock owners of this road are
active, energetic and successful rail-
road men, who will never rest easy
while any competing line can eclipse
them in any respect. They are lay
ing down steel rails, and putting on
day and night coaches, and sleepers
that outshine anything in the West,
and their road bed is the oldest, best
located and safest of any road out of
Omaha. The country through which
this road passes is unsurpassed for
beautiful scenery. First wind ng
under the bluffs of the Missouri, thea
up the beautiful valley of the Boyer
river through CedaI Rapids, the III st
delightful city in Iowa. Across the
'olcar waters OF the Mississippi at
Clinton, thence over the highly cult
waited .prairies Of Illinois to Chicago.
The conductors and employees on
these trains are noted for their civil
ity, and are gentlemen with whom it
is IA pleasure to do business, who, by
their courteous manners and charm
ing affl5ility, are fast making the
Chicago aud Northwestern the most |
popular line between Omaha aud
Chicago
The traias that run over this line
are made of elegant new Pullman
Palace drawing-rpom and sleeping
coaches, built expressly for this line,
luxurious, well lighted and well ven
tlated day coaches, and pleasant
lounging and smoking cars; all built
hy this company in their own shops.
The cars are all equipped with the
celebrated Miller safety platform,
and patent buffers and couplings,
Westinghouse safety air brakes, and
every other appliance that has been
devised for the safety Of passenger
trains. All trains are run by tele-
graph.
In word, this great California
line has the best and smoothest track,
and the most elegant and comfort
able equipment of any road in the
West, and has no competitor in the
country. 1t is eminently the favorite
route with Chicagoans travelling East,
and is acknowledged by the travelling
public to be the popular line from all
points in Western Iowa, Nebraska,
Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Montana,
Idaho, Nevada, California, and the
Pacific Slope. ..-.-.

partments of the Watkins Union

A turtle is a reptile. 1t has
head like snake am little sharp
tail and four claws like an alligator.
The rest of him lives inside the
bones so / don't know what he looks
like.
The bones are outside and are
called the she'll.
They live great many years.
They are very ugly and stupid and
l don't think yon could tame them
if yon tried all summer.
suppoie they are good for some
thing but l don't know what its is.
1t is fun to catch them.
In some countries but not in this
they keep them round in houses to
kill bugs. t
\ turtle has no teeth but it don
make any difference, for there are
bones in their mouths and can hold
on to a stick all day if yon stay and
pull.
l don't believe they ever die
hardly. l don't know how l should
go to work to kill turtle unless l
smashed him with big hammer.
The shells are real pretty when You
have boiled the turtle partly out.
They live all winter like bears with
out nothing to eat l don't see how
they do it. 1 think they are awful
homely. Their eyes look as if they
we're set in up side down. They
mostly stay in the same place.
1t takes them long while to get
anywhere.
There are great many kinds OF
turtles and some are good to est.
