A bankrupt carpet-bagger is refresh
ing spectacle. The assets Of j. Hale
Sypher, of Louisiana, are shown to be
1882, and his liabilities s14O, 900. Butler
seated him in Congress to vote on GER
tain infamous administration measures
like the Force Bill, and when the Re
publican party got through with him
they kicked him out, saying he had been
seated by fraud. He certainly was. He
is mere Sypher now.
A fearful Navy Depnrtm ent Job is that

The daily phoenix. [volume] (Columbia, S.C.) 1865-1878, 1875-06-09

Mr.. Charles Leland, of Philadelphia,
has just published book, in which he
produces q massive argument to prove
that Christopher Columbus did not first
discover America, nor did any of the ad-
venturers to whom the school books
ascribe the feat. He declares emphati-
cally that Chinese Buddhist priest
named Hoei-Shin, in the year 499, re-
turned to China from a voyage, and
stated to the wondering eelestiaIs that he
had discovered great country across
the sea, which he had named Tusang.
He described the natives in such way
as to identify them with the American
Indians, Peruvians and other races. If
MIR. Leland can maintain his theory, as
he appears to be able to do, our school
biographies will have to change the an
swer to the question, "Who discovered
American" from, columbus" to "Hoei-
Shin"
