Pick out two of the most notorious ward

men of 10 standing in the community, and no
character save that Of idleness:- land elevate
them to the bench in two of the most import

for instance. How would you feel about it?
This man Moses is the worst Of the lot. He
is q more corrupt man than Whipper, the ne
gro who has been elected Judge Of the Charles

Whipper is an ignorant negro, and it is
doubtful if he ever read alaw book, but he is
not stepped in iniquity like Moses, who is

being in no wise qualified for the position Of
Judge. With Moses and Whipper on the

These Judges were elected by the Legisla-

ter, look out for Democratic gains in South
Carolina! For, a long time the whites have
wanted sufficient excuse to rise up and over
throw the African government under which
they live, and now they have it. Not white
Republican in the State, from the Governor
down, nor a Republican journal, pretends to
Justify the election of these notorious men to
the bench. =.
Governor Chamberlain has tried to make
the Legislature behave itself often going in
to caucus and talking to them with tears in his
eyes, but to little purpose. Although Cham
berlain was elected as an ultra-R Republican
defeating the Liberal Republican whom the
Democrats supported-he can't control the
African Legislature. 4;.....,..bb t,5..,,
The campaign in South Carolina next fall
will be very bitter, if not bloody. The whites
will now draw the "color lines" ana at the
same time throw all the blame upon the
blacks. We know what the color line means.

Conn, but is now in New York, married,
little over year ago, a couple who at once
started for Europe, and have recently return

wealth, and before he presented himself be-
fore the bridal altar he placed one hundred
dollar greenback in his vest pocket to give
to the parson for the marriage fee, and did
pay it to him, as he supposed. While cross

astonishment, thelbill in the pocket where he
placed it, and could account for its presence

upon the reverend gentleman, who did not

DHH.W ASKING WITHOUT SoAP.-Have
your water quite hot, and add very little
milk to it. This softens the water, giveo the
dishes fine gloss and preserves the hands;
it removes the grease, even that from beet,
and vet no grease is ever found floating on
the water as when soap is used. The stone
vessels should be set on the stove. with a little
water in them, when che victuals are taken
from them; thus they are hot when one is
ready to wash them, and the grease is easily
removed. Tinware keeps bright, and longer
