Before closing this part of our report,
we wish to refer to the insane, twenty
five of whom were confined there on the
day of our visit. II is shame for our
State that quarters are not furnished for
thern in our regular insane asylum,
where they eau be treated and cared for
by those who understand the peculiar
ities OF their disease. Dr.. Duncan does
not arrogate, nor claim the experience
to treat them, and he informs US that
this class of patients are increasing with
him.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

1t is said that money saved is twice
made; therefore. every voter should sup
port Hampton and his ticket rs an in
vestment, for he will certainly stop the
public stealing in our State, thereby en-
richinF every citizen, By enabling him to
save the honest gains Of industry and
labor from the gradual but sure and
alarming system of condscation by taxa
tion which hns been practiced by Cham
berlain and his villainous crew since
their advent into South Carolina.
Gen. johnson Hagood, the Democratic
nominee for Comptroller General, is in
command of the whites who arc acting
for defense of the women and children
of the portion of Barnwell, Aiken and
Beaufort Counties which is over-run by
lawless Elobs. Did any one ever hear of
q Radical nominee in this State COM
manding the blacks when they were in
trouble? No, colored men, they put you
up to devilment, aud as soon rs trouble
comes they run to Washington o. some
st,Sp place, and leave your race to suffer
for their rascality.
The yellow fever has not abated in Sa-
vannah. and last week the number of
deaths from disease was equal to any pre-
ceding week since the epidemic began.
The town of Brunswick, Ga, is even
more heavily scourged, and at least one
half the population were victims of yell
low fever at the same time. These facts
are fearfully distressing, and the great
suffering from disease is augmented by
the destitution OF thousands in both
places. The feyer broke out in Charles
ton week or ten days ago, but reliable
information states that only five or six
deaths have occurred from that disease,
which is not likely 70 become epidemic
at this season. We would respectfully
suggest that collections be taken up in
the churches on next Sabbath for tho
benefit of destitute persons in Savannah
and Brunswick, and chat our cutiro pop
uiation attend the services of some de-
nomination, with the view of par.icipa-
ting in this contribution to relieve attic
ted humanity.

A Centennial Invention.

The necessities of the centennial cele-
bration in Philadelphia have brought out
many strange Inventions.
Among the numerous plans for making
the hotel and clearinghouse accommoda-
tions Of Philadelphia available to visitors
during the centennial year is that OF the
Hotel and clearinghouse Association, 10
Gated at No. 7oi Arch street.
On the first of May next, according to
late estimates, the hotels will have ca
pacity of $4,000 guests, and the boarding
houses approximating $500 in number,
capacity of 80 600. to which may be added
a large number of private dwellings add
tional, which will be opened to visitors if
necessary.
The hotels, of course, will be always
accessible but with the boarding houses 1t
is different, they being widely distributed
and unregistered, and to render this class
of accomm oiatlons available to visitors is
the object Of the association.
To this end there is being kept at the
central office register OF all reputable
boarding houses in the city, which will
show at any time the vacancies and sche-
dule of rates of each, and offices will be
opened a. every hotel cooperating with
the association or in the immediate vicinity
where visitors " no fail to secure lodging at
| the hotels will be atfOrded a choice OF rooms
| and board at any OF the houses where va.
cancies occur, together with guarantee OF
| the quality and costs of the lodgings offered
| In connection, and in telegraphc commu-
nica1iou with the central office. the associa
! ton has located twenty nine branch
| agencies in different parts of the city, where
| vacancies as they occur, will be registered
| and reported to the main Offioe, enabling
