sions on the 29th ult. The Republican
House secured quorum of ffty-nine
members, and seated five colored contest
ants to the seats for BaTnwell County. for
which certificates had previously been
given to the Democrats by the Board of
State Canvassers and the Secretary of
State. This was done by vote of forty
five to fourteen, protests being entered by
two members. In the Senate concurrent
resolution passed by the House, providing
for canvass on the 29th Of the returns
for Governor and Lieutenant Governor,
was amended by naming II m. on
the 1st, to which time the Senate
adjourned. A protest, signed by all the
D4.-.eorn ntiu senators, was placed upon
record against the proceedings of the
Senate which recognized, or proposed to
recognize, the legality of the body calling
itself the House of Representatives, over
which Z. w NJ Mackey claimed to pre-
side as Speaker. The Democratic House
went into secret session in Carolina Hall.
After receiving the report of the Commit
tee appointed to obtain the returns from
the Secretary of State for Governor and
Lieutenant Governor, the Committee re-
ported that the Secretary had surrendered
the returns to Mackey, the Speaker of the
Republican House. The military still
garrisOned the State House.
The Democratic House took peaceable
possession of the State Legislature hall on
the 3Qth ult., at eleven O'Clock. The Re-
publican House entered the hail at noon.
Both Speakers occupied the stand, Wal
lace Dem.) in the chair, and Mackey
iRep) at the clerks desk. Wallace was
subsequently notified by a messenger
from Gen. Ruger that at noon on
the 1st the Democratic members from
Edgefeld would not be permitted on
the floor of the House. A letter
was thereupon sent to Gen. Ruger,
signed by Messrs. T. B. Gordon,
Wade Hampton and A. G. Haskell, ex>
pressing establishment at this interference
on his part in the proceedings of the Leg
islature, which were being conducted in
good -natured manner, and calling his at
tention to the fact that he had previously
assured them that no troops should there
after be at the door of the House, and
that under no circumstances would he in
terfere except there should be serious
disturbance ofthe peace. They close their
letter as follows:
&C The Democratic members from Edgefield
and Laurens are entitled to their seats by
the judgment of the Supreme Court of the
State, and we have advised them to remain
in that hall until removed by your troops,

year of American Independence whether we
have a Government of law as construed
by the courts, or centralized despotism

In Case of Fire.

The season is at hand when fires most
prevail, and when the precautionary
hints of the late DR.. Hall are most impor-
tant to be needed. They are as follows:
Keep doors and windows of the structure
closed until the firemen come; put q wet
cloth over the mouth, and get on all fours
in a smoky room; open the upper part of
the window to get the smoke out; If in
theater, church, or school room, keep
cool; descend ladders with regular step
to prevent the vibration. If kerosene
just purchased can be made to burn in
saucer by igniting with match, throw it
away. Put wire work or glass shades
over gaslights in show windows, and in
bedrooms with curtains; sprinkle sand
instead of sawdust on floors of oil stores;
keep sbavings and kindling wood away
from steam boilers, and greasy rags from
lofts, cupboards, boxes, ETC.; see that all
stovepipes enter well in the chimney, and
that all lights and fires are out before re-
firing or leaving the place of business;
keep matches in metal or earthefn vessels,
and out of the reach of children; and PRO-
vide piece of stout rope, long enough to
reach the ground, in every chamber.
Neither admit any one if the house be on
fire, except police, firemen and known
neighbors; nor swing lighted gas brackets
against the wall; nor leave small children
in room where there are matches or an
open fire; nor deposit ashes in a wooden
box, or on the floor; nor use light in
examining the gas meter. Never leave
clothes near the e-place to dry; nor
smoke or read in bed by candle or lamp
light; nor put kindling wood to dry on
top of the stove; nor take light into a
closet; nor pour out liquor near an open
light; nor keep burning or other infam-
mable fluids in rooms where there is
fire; nor allow smoking about barns or
warehouses. s.-Scientific american.

Courtesy.

g HONESTY is the best policy" A boy
or man who is honest only because it
paws, is at heart dishonest Yet God has
so ordained matters in this world that hon.
esty is as much a matter of interest as
duty. Courtesy is duty. But it pays to
be courteous. 1t is our duty and our in
terest to entertain kindly feelings toward
all, and to express them in kindly way.
That is the best definition of courtesy.
The President of the New York Shoe
and Leather Bank, Mr.. Stout, Is known
for uniting business ability with unfailing
courtesy. He has a pleasant word for
every one, even when driven by business.

worth several millions of pounds. 1t pays

A Conductor Who Was Living Within
His Salary.

There were several good stories told at
the conductors banquet Thursday evening,
but the one that created the most laughter
was that which was related by Conductor
McElroy, from Pennsylvania. He said
that conductor on an Eastern railroad
was approached by a seedy looking indi-
vidual, who wanted to get free ride, as
he didn't have money.
"All right" said the conductor, go
forward into the smoking car, and I'll fix
you all right"
Soon afterwards the conductor appeared
in the smoking-car to collect fare from
the passengers. He took up fare from
everybody except the deadbeat and an
other man, who happened TO be the SUI
perintendent of the road. The Super
intendent noticed that he had overlooked
this man, and asked him why he had
done it.
"Why, that's a conductor" was the
reply.
Ills appearance does not indicate it.
Look at those Clothes" said the Superin-
tendent.
"Well," said the conductor, Z" he can't
help that He's a conductor on Western
road, and he's one of those fellows who
are trying to live within their salary, and
that's what he has come to-"
This was satisfactory to the Superintend-
ent, and the man obtained his ride without
further inquiry. Mr.. McElroy stated that
there was nothing personal in the story

in the contested cases must be closed by
four O'Clock on the afternoon of Dec. i.
He said thesDemocrats could present two
witnesses in the case of Ouachita The
Democratic counsel said they ought to be
allowed three witnesses, the number per-
mitted TO the other side, but Gov. Wells
limited them to two Charles Tidwell
and J. T. Swain testified on the Demo
cratic side, giving rebutting testimony TO
that given by Eliza Pinkston. One wit
ness testified that, on the morning after
the murder, Eliza had stated to him
that the killing was done by cOlored peo-
pie. Returns from Vernon, Franklin and
Livingston parishes were opened and laid
vrvr. IteUurHo froraa nthop- -fss.rielre-s---
brought in during the day. In her testi-
mony on the 2Sth Eliza Pinkston alleged
that the murder of her husband and child,
and the other horrible outrages which she
swore to and detailed, were owing to her
husband having been Republican. The
perpetrators Of the Outrages were white
men, and alleged the cause of the killing
the fact that Pinkston was a Republican,
and voted the Radical ticket.
On the Both ult., a second witness,
named j s. Swan, was offered by the
Democrats, who swore that he was a far
mer and knew Henry Pinkston; Pinkston
was not much engaged in politics, and wit
ness never heard him talk much about po-
litical matters; knew he had fight with
another negro named Black Brooks, about
two months before his death; heard
Brooks say he intended to kill Pinkston:
Brooks was bad, angry, quarrelsome
man; on the night of the murder wit
ness had seen a party of colored men
pass his house going down the road
coming from Ouachita; he thought the
election at Ouachita was as fair one as
they had ever had; did not see any wrong
going on; hc belonged to the Democratic
party. After this witness had concluded,
the East Baton Rouge case was called up,
and the Board decided not to open the
boxes from seven polls in which the Com
missioners' returns and tally sheets had
been locked up, and the Parish Super
visor had omitted to mention them in his
consolidated statement. Similar action
was taken in the case of Tangipahoa,
where the vote of one poll was not re-
turned by the Supervisor. By this action
the Democrats lose 1,136 votes in East
Baton Rouge.

Mr.. Powers Lecture.
sequence

In our local columns will be found some
thing of a report of the lecture delivered
by Mr.. O'Connor Power in this city, last
Tuesday. 1t does not. however, give any
fair conception of the eminent merits of the
performance. In point both of substance
and of style and manner Mr.. Power did
himself the greatest credit. The matter of
his lecture was highly entertaining, besides
being distinguished by truly admirable
tact. The lecturer was afraid of no issue.
He boldly encountered every question
which could bring to light differences be-
tween himself and many of his hearers, but
so deity did he handle them that no
offense was given. On the contrary, 80 far
as we have been able to ascertain, he won
golden opinions from even those who may
differ from him on questions of policy.
Home Rule, Fenianism, Young 1relandism,
the Catholic and Protestant question, na-
tional Independence, ultimate resort to
force, and other topics which usually heat
the Irish blood to the boiling point, were
arl handled by him with such prudence as
to elicit nothing but applause, and to win
friends instead of exasperating enemies.
On Mr. Power. manner as a speaker we
can comment with unqualified appreciation.
His skill in articulating was universally
remarked. A competent critic, himself a
public speaker, informed US that standing
at the farthest extremity of the hall he did
notlose syllable of the address. This arose
not from the volume of voice emitted, but
from the Distinct enunciaton which sent
every sound on it's way unobscured by
others.
10 gesticulating Mr.. Power exhibits great
energy and directness, but always COM
hined with dignity. There is never any
thing like violence or intemperance in his
manner. 1t is difficult to fix in terms the
characteristics of style which give the
orator his magnetism of influence, but
whatever it may be, Mr.. Power enjoyes it
in a marked degree and carries his audi
ence irresistibly with him. No instance of
a more notable success in that way has ever
fallen under our personal observation in
this city. This evening Mr.. Power will
again lecture at St. Patrick's Hall on a
most interesting subjec and if any should
be tempted by our encomiuns to give him
hearing they will probably credit us
with having rather understated than over
stated his merits.

dozen in csges ike chickens, and freemen

dozen in csges like chickene, and freemen
are not formed by Inc regiment in Com
munistic nurseries. To make true man
there must be an all controlling feeling OF
the family tie, with the development OF all
the finer sensibilities that cluster only
around the associations of HONE to make
a free man there must be the fullest,
strongest sense of individuality, convic-
ton that the man is something more aud
something greater than the citizen, that he
does not belong to any one or any thing, not
even to the State, that he is bis own mas
ter, IN ALL THINGS, wherever he does not
clash with the rights of others.
If the State assumes the right of educa-
ton it takes away one of the responsible
ties of the family, it diminishes the burden
which every man ought to feel in regard to
his offspring, it teaches him TO merge just 30
much of himself in the State, to forget his
individuality to that extent and to look up
to something else for support. So to that
extent he is less an individual, less a self
asserter, less freeman.
There is bat one education of q freeman
