The above is an accurate report, from I'LL
man R. Gaines, of his immigration efforts du-
ring the past three months. All the parties
paid their own expspses to their places and
had more or less money, tools, furniture &C.,
besides. This kind of selfsustaining imml.

increase rapidly, as all who have settled along
the Piedmont Railroad are sending back good
reports. Surely this report will crafty the
friends of select immigration all over the
State, and cause all to lend assistance and
cooperation in work destined to enrich the
State to so great an extent. Mr.. Gaines in.

In our report Of the proceedings Of the late

complaint being that while incarcerated in

A. NJ. Mackey, Esqrs. After the case was
fully heard, the jury rendered verdict Of not

the widows and orphans of their deceased
members, and they solicit the aid of military
friends and others in the different States, in
accomplishing their benevolent purpose, A
direct appeal has been made to the military
of this city, and a meeting will be held this
evening, January 19, at the armory of the
Boston Light Dragons, Boylston Hall, at y
o'clock, to consider the subject of having a
"Boston table, at the fair, as evidence Of the
sympathy of the militia in this State with
their brother soldiers of Charleston. It is

-- 1t seems that the United States is not
the only country in which most ofthe bank
rupt cases are handled more to the advantage
of bankrupt officials than anxious creditors.
Thus in late English paper we find that in
1878, 347 bankrupt estates were wholly alb
sorbed by legal costs; that only % bankrupts
we're discharged out of 4,457 in four years ;
that 500 trustees we're summoned before the
courts at the instance of the comptroller for
neglecting duty; that 10 trustees had been
removed from Office, 16 had become bankrupt,
10 had been committed to prison for contempt
of court, and Al were not to be found; and
finally that the average cost of realizing assets
was 63 per cent, while in 135 cases it was 100
per cent. The extent of bankruptcy in Eng
land is shown by the aggregate liabilities OF
the bankrupts, which in 1872, were ETA, ,287,-
46S in 1873 they were 916, 6,184,S12.
-- The New York Times says: "It is re-
freshng to be able to allude once more to the
hearty and frank manner in which Conserva-
tives of South Carolina second the efforts OF
their political opponents to secure financial
and general reform in the State, and to the
ueady manner in which they give those op'
ponents credit for their praiseworthy course
Governor Chamberlain certainly can count
on the moral support of all men,. who are
honorable and decent in the State, in his pro-
posed crusade against misgovernment, and he
