EFFECT OF TIE NEW POSTAL
LAW.

This law. which has just gone mt"
effect. Is creating universal indignation
Like the appropriation bills, and other
measures of direct interest to the people.
while valuable time had been thrown
away in efforts to create Il revolution IN
the government it was allowed to lie
over until the close of the session, and
then rushed through without proper con-
,iIcratiun.
The workings OF this law develops the
EXTREMIST Inconsistencies. For instance
u p,r,on living in san Francisco may
mail newspaper or pamphlet from that
city to London for two cents, while four
cents must bc paid in order to have an
cish, page paper carried from Wheeling
f. Berairc. and six cents when it happens
to bc a quadruplc sheet The postal laws
rroyid, that such matter shall not be for
wprIrd unless Hillv paid.
Already, it is stated, that the accnmu-
la,ion of printed matter mailed under
the old rates. by those ignorant of the
NOW amounts to three tons, and the in
,.-.,.,l rate ot hostage will deter many
persons from mailing papers and such
things to their friends, while packages
which have heretofore been forwarded
hv mail will be sent 10y Express, and IN
the end. the Government will be direct

The Civil RIGHTS Law.

The civil rights law is likely to be slaugh-
tered in the house of its friends. Besides the
opinion of Gen. Butler that the privileges Of
bar-rooms are not guaranteed by the law, it has
lust been decided that billiard saloons are to-
tally exempt from its provisions. Another
decision of more general application has been
made by Judge Emmons, Of Memphis, in the
United States Circuit Court, wherein he denies
that the late amendments to the Constitution
confer any new powers upon Congress to legis-
late in that direction. He delivered an elabo-
rate and exhaustive charge to the grand jury,
in response to certain questions asked by them
touching their duties under the new law, in
which he holds that the States alone control
the regulation of theatres, inns and other pla-
ces of public amusement and resort, with which
Congress cannot interfere. We will print a
summary of this decision next week. Judge
Emmons is Republican in politics, and a
Northern man'by birth, education and associa-
ton. He is an eminent jurist, and a man of
unsullied reputation.

SAD DEATH.

1t is our painful duty to announce the de-
mise of Mrs. Theodosia D. Brock, the beloved
wife of Mr.. J. A. Brock, which occurred on
Tuesday evening, after long and painful ILL
ness. The coming of the Destroyer's footsteps
is at all times sorrowful and distressing to rel
atives and friends, but when death strikes
down the innocent and young, we realize more
keenly the anguish of sorrowing hearts, whose
only consolation is that he lets the painting
spirit free from earth's tribulations, and there
springs up bright creations to defy his power
while his dark paths become way of light to
Heaven. With the bloom of youth upon her
cheek, and the brightest prospects OF the world
before her, none can fail to sylnpathlze In this
painful bereavement She was gentle and lov-
ing In character, modest and unassumlng IN
demeanor, faithful and devoted in her profes-
sion as a Christian. How short and feetlng
the time since the bridal wreath was worn
The pale flowers of the tomb take its place 80
soon. and the tears of surviving kindred and
friends fall upon the newly made grave. May
His infinite mercy and love attend the be1eayed
husband and the little innocent boy so uncon-
scious of his loss-a mothers love and watch
full tenderness.

ANDERSON THEATRICAL COMPANY

This company of talented performers propose
enacting In Masonic Hall on Thursday and
Friday evenings, April 9th and 9th, T. s. Ar
thurs celebrated temperance drama, in five
acts, entitled 'Ten Nights in Bar Room," the
proceeds to be devoted to charitable purpose.
The various characters will be impersonated
by young ladies and gentlemen who have de-
voted much time and study to each, and who,
on account of their former successes IN the
drama, cannot fail to give entire satisfaction to
all those who may attend. 1t is needless for us
to enumerato any OF tho many exciting and
interesting incidents which will take place in
the acts, as nearly all are familiar with Arthurs
best work; but suffice it to say, that each will
be rendered in style destined at once to inter-
est and to please. Theatricals should be en-
couraged and patronized, for they have bene-
fetal and instructive influence upon the people,
since through them we are shown the different
phases and varieties in all classes of real life.
All arrangements and preparations have been
made to insure success, and we bespeak for
this company crowded house. The price Of
admission is fifty cents-resorved seats IS cents.
Seats can be secured by calling at Simpson,
Hill d Co.'s and at the Post Office. Be sure TO
attend.

The New Comptroller General.

The General Assembly, on Tuesday of last
week, elected Hon. Thomas G. Dunn to fill the
unexpired term of S. L. Hoge as Comptroller
General The election of Mr.. Dunn was sin
gularly accomplished by the union of every
shade of politics. Before any changes were
made, after the result became apparent Mr..
Dunn had received 81 votes, and on the final
announcement this number was increased TO
127 out of 49, AS Senator from Horny, Mr..
Dunn became known to the people of the State
as an energetic and decent Republican, and in
the last campaign he was the head-centre of
the Green movement His recent course in
opposition to the management of the State
Treasurer gives his election additional signif-
cance, for he now has the opportunity of recti-
fvinp abuses in the financial administration of
the State government. He is man of integ-
rity and honorable character, who will dis
charge the duties of this important Office with
credit and satisfaction. We have no idea that
he will interfere cautiously with the admins
tration of Gov. Chamberlain, but will assist in
every measure of genuine reform.

- Judge Mackey, of the Sixth Circuit, min
giles justice and jocularity when occasion per,
Jury, he requested those desiring to be excused
from service, to come to the bar and state their
excuse. Two had tried in vain, when the third,
feeling sure that he had sufficient excuse,
stated "I am deaf in one ear" The Judge
replied, ut was long since decided that the
Grand Jury have to hear but one side of the
case; one ear will suffice"

Greenville and Columbia Railroad.


In a letter to the Greenville Neaos, Col.
Thomas Dodamead objects to the statement
that the Greenville and Columbia Railroad 'ls
really dangerous" He states "most emphatl-
cally that, while in common with all the rail-
roads in the Sonth, the long protracted wet
weather has had its I'M urious effects on this
ross yet the condition of the roadway and
track is far better than it has been for the past
four years, at the corresponding season OF the
year; and with the care taken on this road to
regulate the speed of trains on the different
portions of the track, in accordance with its
condition, travelling on the cars of this compa-
nys road is as safe as on any railroad in this
or any other country" This assurance on the
part of Col. Dodamead will be gratifyingly re-
ceived by the travelling public, whose conf
dence in the safety of the road has been some
what shaken by the recent foods.
The mercantile community would like to
hear from COL Dodamead in regard to the con-
troversy growing out of delayed freights at
Gresnville. Much has been said in the news
papers about the refusal of the Air Line Rail-
road to transfer freight to the G. g. O. R. R.
until charges are paid, and statement has
been made by the Air Line officials tha5 the
difficulty grows out Of the fact that the Green
Vile Road is heavily indebted to them already,
for which reason these officials refuse to extend
any further credit. The origin of the trouble
is not matter of any moment to merchants
and business men, who desire to receive their
goods without vexatious delays, and who are
ready to pay charges at their respective depots.
Hence, We would respectfully ask that better
arrangements should be made at once, 80 that
goods ordered over the Air Line Railroad will
not be detained at Greenville. It is not e1'
pected that money will be sent in advance to
pay freight charges, nor will the public demand
unreasonable arrangements from the railroads.
But the present difficulty is a serious inconven-
ience to the merchants of the up-country,
whose interests as constant patrons of the G.
& @. R. R. deserves just consideration from the
officials. We would be delighted to learn that
Col. Dodamead has removed the cause of dis
satisfaction, and once more set aside these OBJ
structions to business.

Mrs. David Watson has erected capital new
plank fence around her lot, and the lots and
premises of Messrs. J. B. MCGEE and w. N.
Alexander have undergone considerable inn
provement, in the way of new fences, repairs,
etc. We are glad to see that spirit Of energy
peryades the citizens of that once neglected,
though beautiful portion of our thriving town,
and hope that those living in other localities
may profit by their example
