COWARDLY ASSAULTS,

When candidate for high Office Is SC
well liked and so popular With the masses
as to make his defeat difficult In fair and
honorable fight, mean and cowardly men
are not wanting who delight In manuiac.

whose prosperity they envy, and with
whose business capacity they have not the
talent to successfully compete In IN hon.
orable way. These thoughts are suggested
by the mean, cowardly attacks made upon
me and my medicines, by those who imag.
Inc their pecuniafy prospects injured BY
the great popularity which my standard
medicines have acquired, and the contln,

NarroW.mlnded practitioners Of medicine,

ed to such cowardly strategy as TO publish
all sorts Of ridiculous reports about the
composition Of my medicines. Almanacs,
Receipt Books" and other pamphlets,
are issued and scattered broadcast over the
land, wherein these contemplate knayeS

cineS, and receipts for making them.
Some Of these publications arc given high.

respectable men Of education and position,

jeet In their circulation, which Is to injure

Health Almanac" Is the high-sounding
name OF one Of these publications, which
contains bogus receipts, without grain Of
truth In them. Not less devoid OF truth
are those which have been published by
one DR.. L., Of Detroit, in the Michigan
FdrnIer, and by other manufacturers Of
medicines, In several so.called journals Of

physicians and sneaking compounders OF

Among the large number Of pretended

that no two have been at all alike-conclu.

IParkerlbnrS Journal.
The last will of Gen. ]. ]. Jackson, de.
ceased, after providing literally for his
widow, and some contingent devises,
divides his large and valuable estate into
tenths, under certain restrictions; nine
tenths going to his nine living children
and the other tenth to the children Of his
deceased daughter, Mrs. Dent, upon their
maturity. His sons Jacob B. and Henry
c. are appointed executors. Much OF the
management Of the estate is left to the
discretion Of the executors, no restriction
being placed upon the sale Of any Of his
extensive real estate interests except that
they are prohibited from selling the
Prospect Hill property for less than $780,
900. He leaves $50, per annum to his
pastor, Mr.. Hyland, between whom there
existed strong attachments, so long as he
remains rector Of the p. Z. Church, OF
this city; and in the event OF a new Epis-
copal Church being built here, devises
$4,000 to that object. The will is drawn
up in concise and unmistakable terms,
and reflects the business sagacity and eX-
cellent judgmen. that characterized the
General in his life time.

The report from the Mardi Gras pro.
ceedlngs at Wheeling on Tuesday is tc
the effect that while the crowd in the
city was immense and the patronage Of
the saloons was increased, the show itseli
was Inferior to that Of lastyear. The fact
Of the matter is, that the ancestors Of the
folks inhabiting Wheeling left their pos
terity a kind Of sense that does not natu,
rally take to such mummeries as tickle
the fancy OF the more light.headed people
down South. We predict that there will
be no more Mardi Gras in Wheeling

''NTark these Facts!'

From the Shelbyville Commercial.
The Brownsville States pub
fishes this firm as forgers, swim
dlers and dead beats, and states
that "for three months we have
bad an advertisement of the firm
in the States, believing that
they we're honest and reliable.
A few weeks ago we drew en-
Holloway & Co., for the amount
due on the first quarter of their
advertisement, but the draft was
returned unpaid with no expla-
nations. We then wrote them
a letter on the subject, but re-
ceived no reply.

Sheet that is published by Dam

that the concern is managed by
one j. Haydock, who has 10

A Lost Shepherd.

Sometime since, says cur m
formant, white man calling
himself Parson Scott, appeared
in Mississippi county, Arkan-
sas, and claimed to hail from
South Carolina, and to have
been a brave Confederate SOL
dier during the war. He at
once attached himself to the
Baptist Church and became a
tremendous sensational preach
er Oh Frenchman's Bayou, there
by creating a most favorable
impression among the religious
people of that county, especial
ly among the ladies. He went
around and succeeded in COL
Letting a sufficient amount of
money to build a church, and
did erect the church. He was
getting along splendidly, hav-
ing secured the confidence of
many, but one day a well-known
steamboat clerk recognized Par
son Scott, and soon made it
public that his name was not
Scott, that he was not a preach
er, but that he had worked for
his mother in a West Tennes-
see town. This created a SEN
sation, and Scott, who stood
well, he claiming TO be a preach
er and also a Mason was in
formed of the charges. He de-
MED them, and insisted that it
was a case Of mistaken identi-
ty and he was ready to con
front the steamboat clerk when
the latter again landed at Os-
ceola. Scott was very intimate
with Mr.. Hall, County Court
Clerk, who entertained him at
his residence. The succeeding
Sunday Parson Scott preached
an eloquent sermon and prayed
for those who had prosecuted
and slandered him. He bor-
rowed fine horse from Coun-
ty Clerk Hall, with view to
get to Dead Timber, where he
had an engagement to preach.
1t was arranged that the parson
should face the steamboat clerk,
but since that time nothing has
been heard of Parson Scott or
of the County Court Clerks
horse. What became of both
is mystery not yet solved by
the people of Mississippi coun-
ty.

Louisiana and South Car
OIIna.


The Southern question, under
advisement in the Washington
Cabinet, to the astonishinert
of some and the great dissatis-
faction of others, was not di.-
posed of the public generally
had been led to expect. The
report is lha! at the first cabinet
meeting on the subject, Of tho
Iseven members who compose
the Cabinet three were in favor
OF al immediate removal of the
troops from South Carolina and
Louisiana, and four were o.
posed. Then it vas resolved 10
send commission to the last
named State, TO examine and
report. This too, after the late
President had sent a commits
sion or committee there-tEe
Senate had sent another, and tie
House of Representatives still
another, and all these had ex-
amined, investigated, taken tes-
timony which covered thou
sands Of pages, and reported.
Now still another. Several per-
sons were named as committee
men, nearly all declined. The
Vice-President was to have
been chairman; one or two Sen
ators and a member or two Of
the House were asked, bnt de-
clined; then it was concluded to
select others than members of
Congress. The truth is, mat
ters Iii Louisiana are greatly
complicated, and the reader may
rely on it the people in that
State, as we'll as in South Caro-
lima, have made up their minds
to have done with this sort Of
thing, and will have the COVER
nors they believe to have been
honestly elected, or they will
have military goyernment,and
now it is for the Washington
to determine which
it shall be. They, the people,
do not believe the Federal gov
has any more right to
to settle State affairs
among them than among the
people of any other State, or to
recognize A, B or G as COVER
nor there, than in New Hamp-
shire, or anywhere else, except
in the Territories.

Lively Skirmish in q
Church.

According the Reading, Pa,
Eagle, a rather lively skirmish
occurred in that town on last
Sunday evening, the theater of
the disturbances being the
IChurch of the "Elegemeine
Brueder in Christie" About a
year ago Messrs. Leaman and
Matthews were ordained as
preachers in the denomination.
Recently the Rev. Mr. Seagrist,
the founder of the sect, wrote
Rev.Wm.S Schaefier, the pastorrin in
charge, no ito allow Leaman or.
Matthews to speak in the church
as ministers of the Algemeire
Breuder. Thetwo tabooed rever-I
ends appeared in the church att
the beginning Of the services
andheardthe letterpublicly y read.
AT the close of the services Mat
thews entered the pulpit and
asked the people to remain, as he
had something to say. Brother
Schaetfer invited him to "shut
up" One Stephen Walter Or
dered Schaeffer to get"down and
out, where upon one Faust took
Walter by the throat and com
menced a choking process. A
hundred young men rushed to
the pulpit to see fair play. In
the meantime a Mrs. KissingerI
and a Miss Gaul had a set-to. |
and Miss Gaul was sent to grass
by a square knock-down from |
the list Of her opponent. A wo-
man tainted, women and children |
screamed, the ladies who had |
babies in their arms escaped /
from the church as quickly as
they could to save themselves
and children from being hurt.
and Revs. Matthews and Lea
man, and Messrs. Amos Gaul,
Henry Fisher and other officers
and members Of the church
dashed out Of the rear door near
the pulpit and left the premises.
the course of this lively |
tilt a policeman appeared in the
church, but the young men or
dered him to "clear out" and he
cleared, as the odds were decid-
edly against him.
