BEa- The power and effect of the aiyhtout
policy is now exhibited in every election in the
State. In Chester, Orangeburg and Richlanl,
three of the strongest Republican Counties,
elections have been held since the Hampton gov
crnment was firmly established, and in each of
those counties straightout democratic candidates
have been run, and elected by handsome maiori-
ties. last Tuesday election for Probaic ic
Judge was held in Richland County, and Mr..
Andrew Crawford, n pronounced democrat was
elected over tho Radical candidate J. |. Boone.
1t was square fight and right, and justice won.
And we believe that even Charleston will. at the
special election next Tuesday, elect full demo-
cratic delegation to the Legislature. This is just
what we repeatedly stated would be the result
of straightoutism. The upper counties could
and would elect a democratic Legislature and
State officers, and then secure to Charleston free
elections and fair count, by which, with prop
er and energetic efforts, the best men in that
county could always be elected. We're we right,
or wrong: Let the people of Charleston ans
wer US next Tuesday.

Tho johnson Rifies.
A. r. STOKES, Sec'y.

This Company assembled on the Academy
Green last Friday afternoon. and engaged in the
preparatory drill, from Upton's Manual. So
ardent was the Military esprit that the squads
readily mastered the preliminary steps of the
Soldier, which was an earnest of the accuracy
and efficiency they strovc to attain. Union has
material to form Company of which the Coun-
ty and State may be proud, and it should be the
effort of every one to give to this organization
their hearty support, to place it in the position
held by the old Johnson Rifles.
There is magic in the name Of ".Tohnson Ri
fics. Name cndeared t" our people by old
associations and sacred memories. a touch
stone, at which our hearts throb with pride,
kindling the samc feelings that the mention of
the sold Guard calls up in the breast cf the
French Veteran. Where arc those whose hero
ic dcads kept green the laurals Of South Carroll
mas Batalions? Terrible in war; arc they lag
CARDS in peace?
Will they not again enroll their names and
lend to the young guard that counsel and ad-
vice which their hard earned experience so we'll
enables them?
To those whom the cloud of war did not en- :
velopc, restrained by swathing bands from re-
spending to their country's call, a club Of this
kind mas many attractions, and not the least
of them is Target shooting for Prizes. The nat
ural desire to excel should urge them to come
forward and take an active part.
The beat Of the drum inspires to deeds of
prowess, and he whose ardour it fails to stir is
recrcant to chivalry, and deserves neither the
fellowship of brave men nor the smiles of fair
women.
The papers arc filed with accounts Of the re-
vival of old volunteer Companies in almost every
part Of the State and each day adds numbers
to their ranks.
Let it, then not be sail of us that we manifest
no interest in perpetuating the time honored
institutions Of our fathers

Picnic at Cross KEYS.


Mr.. EDrToR:-I would respectfully ask n
place in your columns for tho purpose of giving
short sketch of the picnic at Mr.. w. T. Bet
siiis, near the Keys, on last Friday. Notwith-
standing the oppressive heat and extreme dry
ness of the weather, Cross Keys sent forth her
prcttiest bellies and most gallant knights to par
t'cipate in the joyous festival. Being unavoid-
ably detained, il was late before ysur CORES
pondent arrived on the grounds; but was sur
priscd, knowing that il was the busy season, to
meet so many bright faces and plcasn Mt acouain-
tances engaged in an animated but social con-
yersation. The beauty and ehivalry of Cress
Keys and other townships was well represented.
II seemed that all had determined to throw aside
their cares and have good jolly day.
The party soon repaired in one solid process
sion to hall near by. prepared for the occasion,
10 engage in whatever amusemeHts their incli-
nations suggested. Some were soon lost in the
giddy mazes of the dance, whilst others led
their lady loves to some retired nook TO pour
into willing ears the story of their loves Gu.
PIT was evidently there, arraycd in all his glorS
and splcndOr, rs alternate expressions of pleas
urc and pain could be observed fitting over the
countenances Of his subjects and it was cspc-
cially marked on young NJ Ds face, who bad
ridden miles through the heat and dust with the
determination written upon every feature to
learn his fate with sweet blande of about six
teen summers. Others amused themselves in
talking Of the dry weather, the Hampton gov
crnment, and the "No fence law" which is re-
ceved by many with applause.
Dinner was thon announced, and on returning
VIC found table spread in beautiful grove in
front OF our hosts residence, groaning beneath
Injuries and snbstantals for the inner man.
There was not only enough for the party assem-
hled, but several Of the dnsky tribe were no.
tced to grow sleek around the table after the
last of the white party had left Our kind host
and hostes did all they could to mako the day
enjoyable. After some time spent in promiscu-

Our dusky friends about this time appeared on
the scene, pceping in from doors and windows,
win glaring eyes and open mouths drinking in 4
with amazemcnt the whele proceedings, sea-
soned occasionally with a morsel Of black rnnts.

A Chicken Dispute.

FRIEND SToKrs.-In your issue of the 25th
ult., you make the following statement: "Our
champion hen is whipped. hen in this town
last week brought forth eleven chickens from
ten eggs. That lays in the shade the theory that
an egg with double yolk won't hatch"
Now, has it ever occurred to you that a hen
does sometimes lay an additional egg after she
has gone to sitting? May not this account for
the additional chicken?
AS you seem to be learned in the chicken bus
mess, wish to PROFOUND the following uues-
tons
]. Suppose yon should place ten duck eggs
under sitting hen and she should hatch eleven
ducks. which would be the lone Mother of the
ten dncks-thc hen that hatchel them or tho
duck that laid the eggs? Also, which would
be the mother of the eleven ducks? An
answer will oblige many readers of the Times,
and an ANXIOUS ENQUIRER
Probably the hen did lay an additional egg
after she had gone to sitting. AS we did not
own the eleven out often hcn we cannot gain
say your theory.
AS to the lone maternity Of the ten or eleven
ducks we will answer you somewhat catecheti
cally by steam
In the reproduction of the animal kingdom
without single exception, the male and female
is necessary. Now. steam or heat arc of no gen
der, and yet both are successfully employed
to hatch eggs. You can't, therefore, claim that
steam or heat is the mother of the hatched ducks
so You must either say the ducks hatcbcd nv
that process hadno mother or come to tire con
clusion that The duck that laid the eggs was The
Clone mother of them.
again. Anxious Enquirer, you know as we'll

an example the progeny exhibit points indi-
eating both parents. hmi did you ever sec duck
