PERSONAL.
We were pleased to meet yesterday Gen.
Stephen D. Lee, Superintendent of Agencies
of the Alabama Gold Life Insurance Com
pany, who is visiting this town on business.
Gen. Lee is graduate of West Point, and
entered the Confederate service in 1861 as q
Captain in Harris Battery, from which posi-
ton he was rapidly promoted through the
various gradations until at the close of the
war he had reached the rank of Lieutenant
General, having command of Corps in the
Army of Tennessee. Gen. Lees gallant re-
cord during the war is familiar to most ofour
readers, and as a citizen now in the quiet
walks of peace be is gentleman Of sterling
integrity and irreproachable character.
CHARLESTON ILLUSTRATED.
The above is the title of handsome VOL
ume of 240 pages, just issued from the press
es of Walker, Evans & Cogswell. The book
is handsomely printed, and contains nearly
one hundred engravings, prepared expressly
for the work, representing views of the city
and suburbs. The book is not mere adver.
tising vehicle, as many might be led to sup
pose, but it is veritable and reliable histor-
ical sketch from the earliest settlement of the
city to the present day, compiled by Arthur
Mazyck, in which he has displayed consider
able literary skill as we'll as laborious re-
search. A plan of the city, showing the
houses of prominent residents nearly two hun
dred years ago, is valuable feature of the
book. By the liberality of the publishers,
we have received several copies for gratutous
distribution among the business men of this
place. Those entitled to copies, who have
not yet received them, will please call at

THE MURDER OF JOSEPH TURNER.
We last week published brief mention
of the murder at Warm Springs, N. c., of
Joseph Turner, formerly of this county.
The Asheville Pioneer gives the following par
ticulars concerning the occurrence:
"On the morning of the 10th instant.
at Warm Springs, Joseph Turner was killed
by John Rineheart. Mr.. Turner was poor
man, but a good citizen, carpenter aud
wheel wright by trade; had a wife and two
grown daughters. Rineheart is also a poor
man but very dissipated. They were near
neighbors On the eve of the 9th instant,
Rneheart and wife had falling out. as usual.
Riueheart was whipping his wife, which caus
ed some excitement Mr.. Turner with Mr.
McFall, went over to see and part them.
Rineheart was choking his wife, had beaten
her badly. Mr.. Turner parted them, and
carried Mrs. Rineheart to his house, where
she remained over the night. AS soon as
they left, Rineheart said to Freshour that he
would kill Turner before sun up, and McFall
before sunset next day. Next morning Tur-
ner was up early and went out into the yard,
when Rineheart's daughter hallowed to him
"to get out of the way, for her father was 60
ing to shoot him." Turner replied that he
was not afraid At the same moment Rine
heart fred his rifle gun through crack. The
ball struck Turner on the right side and came
out on the left. Turner returned to the house
and said he was dead man. He soon after
fell to the floor and died in few minutes.
No ill-feeling was known to exist between the
parties before that time. Rineheart was soon
after arrested and carried before F. NJ. Law
son ESQ.,, who committed him4o Jail.

There Is a deal Of truth and sound
sense i'm the following from the State
Register:
One Of the Chicago papers thinks
that one of the most notable features
of President Grants Des Moines
speech Is that she virtually recon-
unends that the State abandon all
attempts at education beyond the
common schools" This is indeed
one of the most noteworthy features
of the Presidents speech. The Pub
lie school can be made, and is made
here in Des Moines, sufficiently
academic and collegiate to give to
any boy or girl an education good
enough for any business pursuit and
almost any profession. 1t can give,
and is giving, the children better
and more completely finished educa-
ton than nine out OF ten OF the active
business aud literary men OF the
world have to-day. 1t Is enough for
the State to give, since 1t cannot
give to all the greater or more orna-
mental education beyond. Given so
very much, those who want TO 60
still further, and can afford To go,
ought to be willing to pay their own
way as they do go. The State has
no more business making young men
into doctors, lawyers, and college
professors, ut the expense Of the tax
paying public. than 1t has to make
other young men, choosing ID gu In.
such equally honorable and equally
useful directions into machinists,
carpenters, or printers. Our doctors
and lawyers are made for Us in three
months, at public expense, and then
charge all the more for their fees be-
cause oftheir State diplomas, while
tie apprentice At any trade has to-
work on very meagre pay for three
wears before he Is able to set mp for
himself. The public school education
il gift enough to any man at the ex-
pensa of the public. Beyond the
solids every one should be willing to
pay for his own pastries and dainties
or else do without. State Universe
ties and State Colleges that are with
out enough merit In themselves to-
be self-sustaining or which give to
their students an education too poor
for anything but to be given away,
are hardly worth the derricking nee
essary to keep them on their feet.

ELECTION RETURNS.
Iowa $4,000 Republican!
Ohio 10, 900 Republican,
Nebraska Republican,
Marion County Democraticl

We give below glorious news from
Iowa, Ohio aud Nebraska, and I'm the
accompanying table sad news from
eur home county. The figures In the
table are rs full as we can make them
at the time of going to press, 4 p. IN.
Wednesday. For the news from
abroad we are indebted to the State
Register, which gives very full early
returns. The following is its edito-
rial: -......#
1t was Republican day yesterday.
Iowa, Nebraska, and Ohio all took
position i'm the Republican column.
In Iowa dispatches came in very
tardily-later than they have before
for years, there having been much
scratching on the local tickets. In
the counties heard from there has
been a net Republican gain over 1874
of perhaps 5000 on the State ticket,
and a gain of fifteen or twenty mem
hers of the Legislature. From what
we know now we believe the Repub-
Iican majority on the State Ticket
will be over 10000, and that the Re.
publican majority i'm the Legislature
on the joint ballot will be 80 or 80,
and perhaps 40. This is good
enough.
But Ohio is best. Almost against
hope IL has, as now appears, been re-
deemed, the Democrats reluctantly
copceding 1t, and the Republican con.
fidently claiming the Stately 10000
majority, and both branches of the
Legislature. In the 476 townships
heard from up to 3 O'Clock this morn
ing, Hayes has made IA net gain OF
1000, and this is only one fourth OF
the State.
We have barely time to announce
the good news. and to order up our
business.like old chanticIeer TO tell
the rest Of the glad story.
Reports are given from a large
number of counties showing Repub-
lican gains.
MARION COUNTY-MAJORITIES.
From Polk and Pleasant Grove
townships we can only give MAORI
tiles, and from Swan we have no re-
turns, hence they are left blank in
our tabular report. We estimate
Swan by last years official returns,
which give us 80 Republican major
ity. From the figures in the table
and these majorities the results may
be obtained, showing 40 Democratic
majority on State ticket, and the
entire Dem. Co. and Legislative tick
cts elected except one, Mr.. Welsher,
the Rep. candidate for Supervisor,
having small majority.

There are but two States i'm the
Union that can be said to be in pros.
porous condition just now, and they
are always flourishing. Nothing
ever seems to go wrong with Illinois
or Iowa. The latter state may be
regarded as model. To every
question, Where do you find trade
the best?" put by the Times reporter
during the preambulations of whole
sale houses, the answer is invariably,
i" In Iowa." usually supplemented by
the remark that "Iowa is always
fiourishing." 1t Is sls4rted on the
east and west by two grand rivers, is
crossed by four grand railroad lines,
il intersected in the same manner
from north to south, while Chicago
and NSt Louis stand at every
door undertaking each other
to dispose Of their wares, and
overbiddipg each other to secure
the products of the State in
return. Before the war ST. Louis
wayed fat on the spring trade OF
Iowa, and Chicago secured only what
single line OF railroad could drag
across the prairies. At the close OF
the war, honors were about easy, but
now this city receives fully four-tilths
of the business Of the State.
Iowa Is indeed favored. Ii is jus
cold enough for corn, and she never
experiences any failure of crops
1t is likewise we'll adapted for ost'
barley and rye; grows magnificen
potatoes, and when it comes t'
raising cattle and hogs it stands sec
ond only to Illinois. Not few
claim that Illinois is in every wa
peer of its sister across the Missis
sippi, and the northern tier o
counties is probably superior in som
respects but take it from North
South, from East to West, and low
takes the palm. Chicago Times.

The Saloons and mblinl
lIells OF Nevada.

The State of Nevada, has popu-
lation of $1,000 inhabitants, has 900
licensed liquor saloons and "corner
groceries !" an average Of one saloon
to every sixty-one inhabitants, in
cluding women and children. AS it
is probable or at least to be hoped,
that the women and children do not
drink, this gives on fair average,
one saloon to every eight or ten
inhabitants. These saloons must
make about $50 per day each in order
to give the proprietor "a decent
living" after paying expenses.
Thus we have a yearly expenditure
of sl,63S, 900, divided between say
10000 men and boys-just sl63. so
per annum. Yet while the amount
ooks large for whiskey bill, 1t Is
mere bagatelle when you consider
the superior strength Of the article
you get for it. There are i'm Virgin
ia City, or when the last enumeration
was made by the local papers, six
teen licensed faro banks. The daily
running expenses of each Of these Is
estimated at 800, a total of 81 900 per
lay, sll, 200 per week, $5s2, 400 per
year, which is a small sum as com
pared with their winnings" or
orofts; and the same Is true OF drink
ng places. AS the expenses of the
Irinking and gambling houses OF
hat crude State foot up about S2, 250,
100 year il is safe to estimate that
heir aggregate receipts are about
5000, 900, being just one seventh
he product of all the mines OF the
'tate during last year. 1t looks as
hough Western morality needed
title toning up. Moody and San
iey might find few months solid
employment out there.-Inter Ocean.

Hon. Ed. Campbell, Chairman OF
the Democratic State Central Com
mittee, was shot last Saturday on
the street in Fairfield by w. w.
Jankin, editor of the Fairfield Letlg-
err. The trouble grew out Of an old
personal fend and newspaper quar-
rel. At the time Of the shooting
Mr.. Campbell was standing on the
street talking with several friends,
when Mr.. Junkin, according TO a
Ho,ckeye dispatch, came by. AZ he
passed Campbell he took a revolver
from his basket, and turning around
said to him: "Yoa dirty scoundrel,
defend YOURSELF" and with that
fred at him, cooked the revolver to
IRE second time, when he was arres-
ted by the Sheriff. The ball took
effect and lodged Ia the hip.

such way that he could not extri-

The Bank orCaltfornia.

AItoE suspension Oh ono HioItH
the Bank of California has resumed,
with nominal capital OF 81 SOC, 900.
This amount is subscribed by the five
directors, who will continue the bank
on their own account. This, they
think, Is the shortest way out of the
financial embarrassment in which
the three million defalcation of Mr..
Ralston JET them. Being oGyarge
property, their estates were pledged
for the payment of the debts of the
bank. Rather than suffer an out
right assessment of about half a
million zach for the payment of de-
positors, they chose to form sin-
dicate, take the few remaining assets,
which cnnsisted of fluctuating min
ing stock and questionable enterpri-
ses, with view of turning them, to
profitable account, and assuming the
entire Indebtedness of the concern
knowing that they were legally held
in any event. One OF the larges:
depositors was lucky stockbroker
who, q few years ago, closed out sew
eral thousand shares of stock, for
which he paid fifty cents per share
at an advance Of 81, 800 per share.
A few months ago he loaned the
bank tf,sO0,o00 to tide 1t over the
rock which threatened destruction,
accepting as security the combined
endorsement of the five directors,
either Of whom WAS worth double
the amount. But when the bank
failed neither nor all combined,
could pay that amount; so certain
amount Of the broken bank stock
was transferred to him, and in SELF
defense he became one of its direc-
tora. In like manner ether credit
ors became stockholders, and with
its debts thus paid off the bank
opened its doors and renewed pay
ment with scarcely any one to pay.
That 81, 300, 600 deposited on "open-
ing day" is shown to be principally
"deposited" by stockholders for the
purpose of paying off small deposit
which amount they know not
to he large not over 100000. So
the Bank resumes" with Il paid up
"capital" or deposits" OF 81 900, 600,
and a nominal capital, principally
consisting of unpaid debts, mining
stocks, and speculative enterprises.
But gssis q consolation that the bank
owes nobody now except its own
directors, and IL can therefore afford
To resume. With professed paid-up
capital Of s5,0OO,000 tho bank sus-
pended after paying out 100000,
and can only resume by transferring
its stock to its depositors, not because
the directors were insolvent, but be-
cause the ready money could not be
realized! And this in State which
boasted Of producing 10000, 900 gold
last year; and the adjoining State OF
Nevada produced $35,OO0,OOo, aud
this year the two "bonanza" mines,
it Is said, are yielding sl,OOO,OOo In
bullion per month! 1t is estimated
that the Pacific cost will yield this
year over 800, 600, 900 and yet half
dozen men can form n "ring,". lock
up the circulating medium OF the
country, cause the suspension OF the
leading bank, and ere ate such panic
that il takes a month TO recover from
