THERE is some mistake in the economy
of the temperance peoples argument
They say that strong drink, besides being
raging, is sure and speedy death. This
cannot be, for. if it is true, how do they
account for the "bummers?' those inter
esting specimens of played-outness.
"Thcy toll not, neither do they spin"
and it is extremely doubtful if solomon,
in his best days, ever made one suit do
duty for so long a time as the thorough

topped by venerable coat, which, in its
turn, shields an autiquated vest from the
rude breezcs and ruder gaze of the pub

and at constant enmity with the
wearers chin. Serrated and rough
its edges may be, but tbs collar.

The excursionists to Charleston on last
Saturday were quite numerous, and the e1-
cursion train was so overcrowded that many
turned back ut Belton and other points.
Probably two-thirds of the crowd were ne.
groes, many of whom are visiting Charleston
and Columbia for the first time in their lives,
and doubtless many Of them are spending
all their ready money upon this trip. These
excursion trains at greatly reduced rates are
comparatively new in this State, while they
are common and frequent in Georgia and
elsewhere Recently, the colored people in
Georgia held q convention to discourage
their race from patronizing such trains, and
one of the speakers declared that the cOlored
race had expended sS5O.OOo since the war
upon excursions, which had returned no
solid profit to them or their families. They
had frittered away $50 farms, valued at
$1,000 each, for the benefit of the railroads
and lessees of trains. His figures may or
may not be accurate, but there is no doubt
that many persons, white and colored, are
sacrificing farms and mules, to say nothing
ofcomfort and independence, when they are
e2pending money uselessly because the in
ducements offered are cheap rates

For the anderson Mtelhgencer.

MEssRs. EDITORS Allow me little space
in your valuable journal to give few views
upon the propriety of enacting dog law in
accordance with the suggestion made in your
columns few issues since. There can be
no doubt that there is much depreciation
upon flocks Of sheep by dogs, and that this
profitable business is seriously injured there
by. It is not however, every species of dogs
IL at engage in sheep killing, but only the
short cared branch of the tribe, for as mat
ter of fact hounds never run sheep unless
they are led into the practice by some of the
other speciesof dogs. They are, however,
the deadly enemy of foxes, and therefore are
security and protection to sheep, poultry
and pigs. The writer knows of one pack OF
hounds in this County which has caught
more than two hundred foxes since the war,
and during that time have never crippled
sheep. If we had this number Of foxes, with
their increase, in our midst they would be
quite a formidable enemy to sheep, &c.
This being the state of the case the legisla-
turc, if it enacts any law upon this subject,
should exempt hounds kept for running
foxes from its provisions, for they are by no
means q nuisance to our country.

Attorney of the Richland bar, was pres
ent in Court upon other cases, and to his
astonisllment case against the firm of
Monteith & Bauskitt, for not paying the
city license for practicing Law, was called.
He had not been served with any notice
of trial, and asked for further time to
make answer. 1t was refused, and upon
his admission that he had not paid the
license he was fined $40 or sentenced to
ten days Imprisonment, and ordered into
the custody of the Policeman until the
fine was paid. He appealed, and the
acting Mayor required the policeman to
keep him under arrest until he gave Sc
curity to prosecute his appeal. Next
two cases, for keeping livery stables with
out paying a license, were called, and
there being no evidence against them the
Mayor ordered them to be sworn, in order
to make them testify against themselves,
which of course they declined doing, and
thereupon he fined them $50 or ton days
imprisonment. They too were kept
under arrest until they could send for
persons to go their security on bond to
prosecute their appeal. Such monstrous
tyranny in the name of law has seldom,
if ever, been heard of in this country.
The whole proceedings were, from the
facts stated, without the form or authori-
ty of law, and Mr.. Monteith will at once
enter civil suit against the City Council
for damages, and also probably institute
q criminal indictment for oppression IN
Office. These proceedings will therefore
doubtless receive the condemnation they
must deserve as being arbitrary, oppres-
sive and unheard of in the annals of ad-
Indicated cases. -"
