Intelligence from Mr.. P. L. Mitchell, at
Aiken, s. g., is to the effect that he is
improving slowly, and feels encouraged
with the hope of recovering the use of his
limbs again. Everybody will hope he
may do so.
Last Friday DR.. 9. Truesdale was sud-
denly attacked with neuralgia of the
stomach, and during the night was not
expected to live. He grew better toward
morning, but was again attacked severely
in the forenoon. He then gradually i'm
proved until yesterday afternoon when he
ventured on the streets again-but last
evening he had another relapse of the
complaint and to-day he is confined to his
bed, though not thought to be in immed-
late danger. We but express the univer,
sal feeling Of our people when we hope
that he may be speedily restored to
health.

Andithe Galesburg Free Press says:

We agree with THE ARGUS in its est
mate of Mr.. Mccormick. There is not a
truer and more devoted Democrat in the
nation, and we are sorry to see SO good a
paper as the State Register follow Mr..
Mccormick with so much venom. We
wish we had many more such high-minded
earnest and devoted men like Mr.. McCor-
mick in our ranks. We give that gentleman
full credit for the good work he has ac-
complished for the state and nation. He
is entitled to the highest honors the party
can confer upon him.

A Returning Board Election in Tr1.
nifty Church.


nifty Church.
The annual meeting, for the election
of wardens and yestrymen of Trinity
church, was held last evening and resulted
In the choice of Col. ]. N. Macomb for
senior and K. Champion for junior ward
ems. For vestrymen Gen. Hoffman, J, r.
Johnston. DR.. Carter, DR.. Lawrence and
Thomas sCall were chosen.
There was a bit of "skullduggery" practi
ced in that election which makes good deal
of unpleasant feeling. Col. Masonic and
DR.. Lawrence were elected wardens, and
after the votes had been declared and
the result announced. some friends Of
Mr.. Champion, who had been drummed up,
outside, arrived and claimed another bal.
lot. This was objected to as irregular
and unauthorized and unfair, but the polls
were opened and a second vote taken,
when DR.. Lawrence lacked only one vote
of majority over all others-and minor
voted for Champion on that ballot; sc
that by all rules Of fairness DIR. Lawrence
was then elected.
But third ballot was taken, which
resulted in the election of Champion. more
of his friends having arrived.
The result makes good deal of ill-feeI
ing-a feeling that DIR. Lawrence was not
fairly treated.

Keen AwnY From Tens.

The TeXas-gOing business il largely
]overdonc, The Dallas (Texas) Herald
is candid enough to take the RESPONSE
bility of telling the public that nearly
all the towns and cities of Texas are
filling up (and some of them are already
o%verflowing) with tramps aud adyentu-
rers. The Herald adds:
There are thousands of young men
from a distance, some of them worthy
objects of charity, who are out of %
cy and employment, and reduced al
most to starvation and beggary. Many
of them came here under the flattcriug
dclusion that they would at lest have
no difficulty in obtaining a clerkship
with . reasonable salary, but most Of
them are only too glad to be able to sac
rife their whole time and labor for
their board and lodging. The towns
and cities, and especially along the
lines of railroa Is, are alaim'ngly over
SiONhN'l WIN llttl hl' hlloN IL a. DibN
fessional men. The city Of Dallas alol G
has between eighty and one hundred
resident lawyers, and physicians in
proportion, and as for teachers preach
crs and clerks. they arc 'as thick as au-
tumnal leaves that strcw the brooks of
NallambroSa.'"
The Herald also tells cmigrants they
may find it hard to live in Texas unless
they bring means sufficient TO support
them from one 10 three years, in the
ease of failure of crops or other miSfor-
tune, until they get Il sure start towards
prosperity. "1hc kind of cmigran S
Texas needs" says the Herald, are
''men with stout hearts and horny
hands, and with means sufficient to
purchase and stock small farms, and
with the will to go to work, not mil d
ing the many and serious diScomforts
of Il frontier life"
