The Savannah Ne.cs says a negro was
buried alive in a well at Butler recently. His
friends dug down to him in about four hours,
and found him alive and we'll. He said he
never wanted to sneeze so bad in his life,
but he was afraid he would jar down more
dirt.
"A noticeable feature of the calls for Repub-
lican State Conventions this year is the cor
dial invitation extended to the Independent
voter. The usual form is similar to the fol-
lowing, from the Ohio call Call voters, with
out regard to past party affiliations, who de-
sire the success of the principles of the Re-
publican organization, are cordially invited to
join in electing delegates to this Convention"
Governor Chamberlain's letter defending
his course in opposing Moses and Whipper,
has strengthened the popular support which
he had already. The Republican press stands
bv him with entire unanimity, the general ex-
preston being that if the Republican party
in South Carolina cannot be saved except by
putting such pair ofrascals on the bench, 1t IS
not worth saving.-N Y. Tribune.
"A New York lawyer has been suspended
from practice for one year for having suffered
a client to make false affidavit, himself
knowing its falsity. Judge Davis, in suspend
ing him, remarked that if it was true, as in
timated in the testimony, that lawyers are &C.
customed to do such things in the negotiation
of their clients securities, it was time that it
was known that such acts are not consistent
with professional honesty or personal honesty.
Carl Schurz seems to think that Mr..
Blaine's prospects are dubious, for he writes !:
"Mr. Blaine is a man of great talent, and
has many Jealous friends, but party will be
very slow in the Centennial year to nominate
that man for the Presidency who has made
himself the first violent disturber of the Ma
tional Jubilee The third term is not the
only evil against which patriotic people re-
volt. What is now demanded is to conciliate
enmity, not to goad it and no candidate can
prove himself strong who, in. the contest of
opinions, introduces the bitterness Of personal
passion by the reckless challenge Of the op-
ponent."
The latest and most important testimony
as to the effect of the "Granger" laws regula-
ting railroads is offered to the report of the
Wisconsin railroad commissioners, which has
lust been transmitted to the Legislature of that
State. The commissioners acknowledge that
the provisions of the "Potter" law have been
radical, have engendered distrust on the part
of the capitalists, and have retarded the growth
ofthe State. They say that future legislation
should be moderate and general should, for
the most part, be limited to careful super
vision of railroads, publicity Of railroad &C
counts, and prohibition ofexcessive discrirn-
nations, leaving the details of railroad man.
agement to the railroad companies.
- The northern people have definitely con-
cluded to let the South take care of itself; to
let the knaves who have been robbing under
the name of Republicanism 60 to the bottom !;
to trust to time and the constant pressure OF
selfinterest and commercial and industrial
necessity, rather than to harsh enactments or
naked bayonets, for the removal Of unayoid-
able evils in Southern society. Knowing
that this question has been settled, that Con.
gress will not reopen it, and that any political
party that will reopen it would be beaten as
badly as the Republicans were in 1874. Mr..
Morton only insults the people when he pre-.
tends that it is still the one urgent and all-im-
portant question of the day.-M Y Tribune.
Judge Brady, of New York, uttered SEN
sible views from the bench, lately, in regard to
the practice of carrying pistols upon the per-
son. He takes the ground that the Legisla.
ture should permit, but only upon license, re,
putable citizens to carry such weapons, and
deny this privilege, under severe penalties, to
the reckless criminal classes. He says
brave man may carry pistol with safety to
his own life and liberty, and will use it only
when the peril of his life or limbs requires it.
Such a law would secure to men of good rep
utation whose exposures may require it, the
right to carry the pistol while thieves, bur
glars and violent drunkards, and men Of bad
reputation, to whom no license would be gran
ted, would subject themselves to the penalty
if they violated the law. The peaceable and
law.abiding citizen would thus have the ad-
vantage over the reckless and the lawless,
a superior place to which he is entitled.
- The Syracuse, N. Y, Journal reports the
following successful management of bees:
Mr.. G. NJ. Doolittle, of Borodino, brought to
this city, recently, four wagon loads Of pure
and beautiful honey, which he sold to Mr..
Roberts, grocer in the Myers Block, for twen-
ty-five cents per pound. The combined weight
of the packages was 1000 pounds, amounting
in money to S1,750. 1t was handsomely en-
cased in 2,640 boxes, with glass in either
side, showing the white covering of the cells,
and they were packed in cases ready for ship
ment. Of this amount 4,S7S pounds were
produced by forty-six swarms of bees owned
bv Mr.. Doolittle, who for number Of years,
has been much interested in the subject of bee
culture. A year ago he possessed one hun
dred swarms, which came from two swarms
he obtained in 1869, but the number was re-
duced by more than one-half by the very
cold weather of last April. Now the number
is one hundred and eight.
General Chamberlain, warden of the Mas
sachusetts State Prison, in his evidence before
the prison committee Of the Legislature, re-
Gently said 81 know from my own knowl-
edge that there exists in the city of Boston a
regularly organized society of criminals, with
a President, Vice-President, Secretary and
Treasurer. This society has regular form of
admitting members. The prison he has grad
uated from, his offence, with information in
regard to the prison, are all duly recorded.
The society discusses the most approved plans
for burglary, tools, equipments, etc. they also
keep regular register Of the best criminal
lawyers in the country, and Of the judges of
the courts, and they know at once what the
prospects are for a brother criminal. If his
case comes before what they call hard
iudge,' they raise the money and secure post
ponement fthe case. They also have fund
for mutual support and protection, and
through this source they are often able to
send delicacies to their brethren when sick in
