made oath that he 'swas intimidated
ny his own color and made to vote
against his own inclination" How
far this may be dodge on the part
OF King to get on the strong side,
we are unprepared to say. But we
are sure that tho statement he makes
might come truthfully from hun
dreds Of colored men in this county.
The game of the Radicals for eight
years past has been one huge scheme
Of intimidation and fraud. 4.
UNITED STATES SENAToR.-The
Legislature on Tuesday went into
sn election for United States Sena-
tor, in tho place of Hon. T. j. Rob
ortson, whose term expires on the
4ch of March neqt. In the Senate,
d. L. Corbin received II votes, and
Gen. Gary. -. In the Rump House,
Corbin received IS votes on the sec
ond ballot-Elliott, Bowen and
Palmer "a free~love carpet-bagger
from Aiken) getting one or two votes
each In the Constitutional House
votes were cast for number of gen
tlemen. There was no choice-the
highest vote being that of Gen.
Butler, eleven. It is proper to add
that Senator Robertson positively
declined to be voted for by the
Rump. Of course Corbin's election
amounts to nothing. ....
WE MUST ALL D1E.-This is q fact
and it behooves us to be prepared
to die right when the tilne comes.
Few of MS expect it until old age
overtakes and admonishes us with
grey hairs that the time has arrived
when we must dye. Then we look
around to find out the best way.
We will tell you. Use no other dye
than DIR. TUTr's, and you will dye
right. Your grey hairs will dis
appear like magic ,and in theirplaces
you will have glossy, black whiskers
moustache and hair-a perfect imi-
tation of nature, so natural that it
cannot be detected, and your dyeing
expenses will be but one dollar. -.

MATTERS IN !CoLuMDIA.-In addi-
tion to the matters mentioned in
the letter of our Columbia cores
pondent, there has occurred at the
capital but little of unusual interest
during the past week. Both the
Constitutional and the Rump House
are going on with their work. In
the former resolution was passed
authorizing the Speaker to issue to
each member pay certificate for
800 of the annual compensation.
The certificates were issued accord
ingly, and they were promptly
cashed by the banks. The com
mittee on privileges and elections
made a report showing the number
of vacancies in tho House, owing
to the failure of certain members to
