STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA,


COLUMBIA, S G..
Whereas the Honorable Jacob p.
Reed, having been elected, was duly
commissioned by me as Judge Of the
circuit court for the first circuit of this
State to hold the said office according
to the constitution OF the said State
for the term Of four years beginning
on the 11th day Of December, A. d.
1874, aHtl under his said commission
has been and still is i'll the actual
pcaceable possession and i'll the
exercise Of the duties Of the said
office; and whereas satisfactory cvi-
dcnce has been brought before me
that w. J. Whippcr, who claims to
be the judge Of the said circuit, but
who has neither any commission as
judge, nor has submitted the merits of
his claim to the decision of any tri
bunal whatever, nevertheless is max
ing preparation and intends to enter
by force upon the exercise Of the
duties Of the said Office, and in that
character to resist and to encourage,
persuade and conspire with other
persons to resist by force the lawful
authority and orders Of Judge Reed !;
and whereas decent regard for The
forms and principles adopted for the
determination Of conflicting claims to
public Offices requires that the claim
Of W.J. Whipycr shall be submitted
to and be determined by competent
legal tribunal before any attempt is
mado by the said w. j. Whippcr 10

functions or duties Of The said Office.

exhibitors whose stock is recommended
by the judges for an award will receive
a special report and the diploma and
bronze medal of the United States Cen
tennial Commission. The judges in
each gronp will also make
general report upon the development
and present characteristics of each
breed, especial reference being made to
animals of a superior merit. The test
ing of agricultural implements at
Schenck's Station, which is now i'm pro-
gress, includes twelve threshers and
ten agricultural engines, and number
of fans and food-cutters. In the con-
test between the threshers the princi-
pal object is to show the length of time
occupied in threshing a certain amount
of grain and the thoroughness of the
work. The power required to do the
work is demonstrated by dynamometer
test. In the case of the engines, the
amount of fuel and wood used. actual
power developed, efficiency of work,
ETC., are also being exemplified.
The weather still continues melting.
Everybody and everything succumbs
to it. The effect has been to consider
ably diminish the attendance for the
week just closed, there being during
that period an average of only about
q, 900 daily visitors. The total num-
Der of admissions to Wednesday even

receipts S762. $50.

The late Sultan OF Turkey had
twenty-one palaces, in which 400 por-
ters and watchmen were employed at
an annual cost Of $71 1000. The sui
tan's cuisine was particularly expen-
sive. The fuel alone cost $133,0O0 a
year, and $4,000 worth Of sugar was
used annually, while 10000 sheep and
goats were consumed. In the kitch-
en- 359 servants were employed. and
in the whole establishment total OF
6.505 servants and parasites were fed.

"No, SIR"

In July, 1866, when bill to increase
the salaries Of Members of Congress
was pending in the United States Sen
ate. of which Mr.. Hendricks was then
a member, Mr.. Henderson, of Nilsson.
ri, moved that the compensation OF
Senators and Representatives be 5000
per annum Tan increase of $1,000, to
be computed from the first day of that
Congress March 4, 1865, and mileage
at the rate of twenty cents per mile.
The animus of Mr.. Hendricks on the
subject can be judged from the follow
ing extract from the debate which fol-
lowed, which we copy from the
Congressional Globe, Part V. 1866
1856, page Ala:
Mr.. Hendricks. l move to strike
out twenty" and insert ''ten," and
also to add that members west of the
Rocky. mountains shall have twenty
cents a mile. / intend afterward to
propose that mileage shall take effect
from the commencement of the next
Congress.
MI. GrlmeS. Ana the salary, TOO!
Mr.. Hendricks. No. sir.
Objection being made by several
members against making distinction
in the mileage of members, Mr.. Hen
bricks remarked that if Senator's pre-.
ferred twenty cents as the rate of mile
age, he had no objection to it.
When it is recollected that the
mileage was then 40 cents mile, Mr..
Hendricks objection to the reduction
in mileage applying to that Congress.
and his emphatic, mo. sir" to the
suggestion that the increased pay
should commence with the next Con.
gress, and not date back sixteen
months, can be appreciated when he
asks to be considered Performer.

A Man OF High Intellect.

A private letter was received, yester-
day, by "a friend, from Hon. Mahlon
Chance, United States Consul at Mas
sau, in which, touching upon public
matters, he says:
"Without entering into political dis
cussion about candidates, L can say
this to you in frankness: do not be-
lieve there is in the world a purer or
better man than Governor Hayes. He
is man of higher intellect than many
of his opponents give him credit for.
In pure, genuine common sense | Go
not think any one of his great competi-
tors at Cincinnati equals him.
When it is known that Mr.. Chance,
who is well and favorably known to
the public, is fellow-townsman of
Governor Hayes, and has been intimate
ly acquainted with him for many years,
this testimony, given in a private let
ter, is not without value.

A Secret Worth Knowing.

An able writer gives utterance to
the following valuable secret:
"This looking forward. to enjoy
ment don't pay. For what know OF
it, had as soon chase butterflies for
a living or bottle up moonshine for a
cloudy night. The only way to be
happy is to take the drops of happi-
ness as God gives them to us every
day of our lives. The boy must
learn to be happy while he is learn
ing his trade; the merchant while he
is making his fortune. Ii he fails to
learn this art, he will be sure to miss
his enjoyment when he gains what he
has sighed for"
