ANOTHER WEEK OF MILD WEATHER
has enabled the pirc-layess to put in the worst
section OF their work,-that on H.!sted street
south Of Diyessy. THO water there stands uear-
ly up to the surfacs, aud the work is slow and
latorious. T'lero now remains to be laid s,me-
thing over mile OF pipe. Of which portion NAV
st,t! 20 in this win1er. It is now hoped that the
water of Lake Michigan will be circulating under
the streets Of the town by March !. That April
election, which has bten suspended like the

moters of the scheme will find tins whole sys-

From the best information could obtain in
the time I was in Aiken, I hx the number
Of colored men killed In this county alone
by white men Of these clubs during the past
three weeks ut Is certainly, and 1t probably
Is or 30. The civil arm Of the Government
in this county II - powerless as the wind to
prevent these atrocities. The Sheriff Of the
county, II disposed, dare not attempt to ar
rest the perpetrators Of these crimes for
fear Of bis own life being taken. He did
not, - am creditably informed, 70 within
seven miles Of the eight hundred men-so
estimated by United States army ofacers-
assembled under the command Of A. P.
Butler, near Rouse's Bridge, and marching
upon . crowd of colsred men there whom
they had surrounded and intended-as
scores of them allege-to kill.
In conclusion I have only to say shat the
condition Of affairs In Aiken County rivals
the worst demonstrations of the Ku.Klux
Khan in 1870 and 1871. In my judgment you
owe it to yourself n Governor and to the
people Of the State to exercise, and at once,
all the powers vested in you Is Governor Of
the State to put down this deplorable state
Of affairs. Very respectfully,
d. T. CoRsIN,
U. s. DIstrict-Attorney for South Carolina.

COLUMBIA, s. c., Oct. 8, 1876.
GOV. ID. d. CHAMBERLAIN: You hav.
ing asked Of me statement of the general
condition Of affairs in Aiken County as
found them on my visit there during the
past week, have the honor to state that
spent three days in Aiken, and had before
me and took the affidavits Of q considerable
number of citizens from different parts of
the county. 1 find that rife clG,bs or regu-
lar military organizations, organized sub
stantially after the manner Of military com.
panies in the United States Army, exist
throughout the county. The officers of
these companies are called captains and
lieutenants, and the subordinate officers are
called sergeants and corporals. They are
armed with weapons Of various patterns,
proved kinds. Rifles and tix.shooters are
most common. Pistols are universal,
These companies meet at stated intervals
for drill in the various military maneuvers.
They are also subject to be called out on &C.
casion by their commanding officers.
These clubs have created and are causing
. perfect reign Of terror. The colored men
are many Of them lying out Of doors and
away from their houses at night. Many Of
them have been killed, many have been
taken from their beds at night and merci.
lessly whipped, and others have been hunt
ed with threats of murder and whipping;
but thus far, by constant watchful-
ness and activity, they have
escaped. The white men of these clubs
are riding day and night, and the colored
men are informed that their only safety from
death or whipping lies in their signing an
agreement pledging themselves to vote the
Democratic ticket In the coming election.

A Grand Record.

Nearly thirty years have elapsed since Hos.

the notice OF the American public. To-day 1t
Is the most popular remedy on this CONT.
nent for dyspepsia, liver complaint, constipa.
ton, debility, nervousness, urinary and utter
inc complaints, govt, rheumatism, intermit-
tent and remittent fevers, and is widely used
in South aud Central America, Mexico, the
West Indies and Australia, as a preventive
and remedy for malarious disorders, and for
many other maladics to the relief of which ii
is adapted. The record of its victories Is
written in the testimonials of thousands
whom it has cured, to many of which the
widest publicity has been given; ii has won
the emphatic sanction Of leading members OF
the medical profession, and it has repeatedly
been made the subject of encomiuns By the
home and foreign press. Comment on the
above facts is unnecessary. We leave the
public to draw its own conclusions.

HONE INTERESTS.

FRENCH FURNITURE POLIsH.--Take
81 pounds of shellac, 81 pounds Of resin.
81 pounds of turpentine, l pound OF
lampblack, 8 gallons of alcohol, and 4
gallon inseed oil. Melt the gums in
the oil by gentle heat, let the mixture
get cool, and then add the other ingre-
dents. 1t should be allowed to stand
2 or s weeks before using.
BROWN BREAD.-2 cofee-cups of
Graham -four, I cofee-cup of cornmeal,
l teaspoonful of bicarbonate Of soda
(the latter is so much nicer to use than
common salaratus), teaspoonful OF
salt, 2 tablespoonful of molasses. Sift
soda and salt so they won't be lumpy,
and stir all through the flour and meal.
Mix soft with sour milk, and bake an
hour, or steam four hours. Keep mod
crate fire for baking.
RICE CREDIBLE CAKEs.-1 quart of
milk, coffeecupfuls of boiled rice, 5
eggs beaten separately, tablespoonful
of butter, 4 teaspoonful Of salt, Il cup
fuls of flour, or only enough to make q
thin batter, 2 tablespoonful Of yeast.
Mix the flour, milk, yellows and salt to-
gether, then the whites and lastly the
yeast. Beat all well together for some
time, and set to rise. Double the
amount of -four to make rice mullins.
BOILED RIcE.-Wash a pint of rice
through several waters-it will not be
white unless it is well washed. Put 8
quarts of water and 8 teaspoonfuls of
salt over the fire, and when it boils hard
sprinkle in the rice, cover it tightly and
boil we'll for 20 minutes. Drain all the
water off and have it uncovered on the
back part of the range, or steam it by
putting it over some hot water for Is
minutes longer; this allows the rice to
dry, and all the grains to separate. To
preserve the grains whole stir it with
fork and be careful not to let it get too
dry.
BREAD PUDDING.-Take care of your
bread-pail, and don't allow crumbs to
become moldy or very stale; but when
there are clean, broken pieces-a quart
of them when crumbled-put sweet
milk to them right after breakfast, and
set them on the open top of the boiling
teakettle. They will swell and soften
so as to nearly soak up the milk by the
middle of the forenoon. Then beat up
eggs and add them, also, teacup of
sugar, teaspoonful of ground CHINA;
mon, and teaspoonful of ground
cloves, little grated nutmeg, table
spoonful of butter, and of a pint of
raisins, the latter picked over carefully
and washed By pouring boiling water
over them. The boiling water softens
them and causes them to swell. Mix
all ingredients together thoroughly,
and bake about an hour in moderately
heated oven. 1t can be sliced and eaten
cold with relish, or eaten while warm
with sweet sauce.

How Custer Was Killed.

Mr.. Angus Mcdonald, of Colville, has
arrived down from a tour in Northern
Montana and the Rocky Mountains. He
says that much smoldering excitement
prevails in the minds of the interior In
dams concerning the Sioux war. The
Sioux had reported to their camps that
they had killed since the war began up
to the middle of July four or five hun
bred men. Big Rain was the chief who
killed Gen. Custer, but his body was
not mangled because he was clad in q
leathern suit, whence they took him to
be some brave accidental stranger out
with the troops. While Gen. Custer
was running his second man through
the body with his sword he was shot by
Big Rain, the Sioux Chief, in the head.
Mr.. Mcdonald thinks that whatever help
the United States troops achieve from
auxiliary Indians is, in the long run,
undermined by the bad impression it
leaves on the Indians mind of the i'm
becility, treachery, and want of fair
power on the part of the white man to
whip him.-Nctoria (B. co. Guardian.

Seventeen thousand Dollars for Q Leg

Yesterday the case Of Bernard Stamm
against the Southern Railroad Company
Of Long Island was concluded, YER
dict being rendered in favor Of the
plaintiff TOR $4,000. The suit was
brought to recover OK, 900 damages for
injuries received by the plaintiff through
the alleged negligence of one of the
engineers of the Railroad Company.

the 18th of September, 1874, was run
into in South Seventh Street by one OF
the defendants dummy engines, thrown
from the vehicle, and received injuries
which necessitated the amputati0n of

of the defendant was that Stamm con-
tributed to the accident. The plaintiff

springs which burst forth from the bot
tom Of the sea. The fresh water is got
by diving. The diver, sitting in his
boat, winds great goatskin bag around
his left arm, the hand grasping its
mouth; then he takes in his right hand
heavy stone, to which is attached
strong line, and thus equipped he
plunges in and quickly reaches the bot
tom. Instantly opening the bag over
the strong jet of fresh water, he springs
up in the ascending current, at the
same time closing the bag, and is help
ed aboard. The stone IS then hauled
up, and the diver, after taking breath,
plunges again. The source of these CO.
pious submaring springs is thought to
or 600 miles distant.
The Turkish battle hymn, of which
the following is portion, furnishes an
excellent text for the horrible brutali-
ties perpetrated by Turks in moments
of victory: "Allah calls us! Allah in
vites! Alas! Up to the seventh heaven
rise the vile odor and the insolence of
the infidels. Allah calls! Allah in
vites! The bloody combat opens. To
the conquerors, the Prophet viii open
the gates of Paradise. Allah is great!
The corpses of our brethren will remain
upon the field of carnage, that they may
breathe pestilence, desolaiion and death
into the camp of our enemies. Weep

the sons of the Prophet will STAY by the
side of each, hundred as compensa-
ton for their death. Dead or alive,

dead will inherit all the joys promised
by the Prophet in his love for his peo-
pie. To the combat To carnage
