crop at. 1t won't pay to send it to Charleston
for we find the market report of the same date
in that city is more than Ic lower than the edi
toriat prices at Spartanburg.
In the Editorial columns cotton, at Spartan
burg, is quoted as ranging from 81 to lO.00,-
an awful wide range-but in its regular market
quotations the same paper of the same date re-
duces it to o. to 10. At the same time the
Charleston quotations Of that date are from 10
to l04. We would hate it badly if we sent our
cotton all the way to Spar;anburg expecting to
get over more for it there than the Charleston
market, and then find out that it oil editorial
gas, that we could not get more for it there than
in Union, US gentleman Of our acquaintance
has done. The question before the club now

Cohen's Advertisement.

Of course everybody will read Philip Cohcn's
advertisement, and, of course, everybody will
want to go and see whether Philip intends to
stand up to what he says in his advertisement.
And that is just what Philip wishes every body
to do Hes not The 10 say one thing and
mean another but sticks to his word as an
honorable man should. When he says he's got
a large stock Of goods you can safely bet that
he's got en-, sure; and if he says he will sell
as cheap as anybody, it's no use hunting round
town or going to any other town, expecting to
get goods cheaper. You can't do it. Philip has
the goods and Philip is not going to keep them
long, if low prices will sell them.
Expecting to do large business with the
Farmers lie has employed Mr.. J. a. Brown to
help him and Mr.. Brown says he would be
glad to show his Browns Creek and other
friends how quick he can wait on them and what
heap OF goods he can sell them for the small
est amount of money.

No Court at Laurens.

We learn through the Laurcnsyile Herald
that in consequence of tho severe illness OF
Judge Shaw, no Court was held for that County
last week The Clerk, although he had received
no instructions from the Judge, adjourned the
Court SINE die. We understand the Judge is still
too i'll to transact any business, which is un-
doubtly the reason why the Clerks Of the Courts
Of this Circuit have received no instructions
from him. 1t is not at all probable that any
Court will be held here in October.

A Paris correspondent, writing of
fashion, says: Perhaps your fair readers
would be glad to know that the newest
thing in the way at a visiting costume is
an invention of Froment, the successful
rival of Worth. He is making little fur
capes, called pala,atines, which are worn
on reception dresses. They are very
small, coming only to the point of the
shouldes, and are made of some costly
Russian sable or silver fox-lined
with carolina red or other colored satins,
and trimed with old duchess or Italian
lace. They are tied at the throat with
great bows Of bright olored ribbons, and
sometimes have variety of shades.
blended in one knot. These are worn on
entering the reception room, even with
extremely light-hued costumes. They
agree very well with the small mufs
which are all the fashion. In nothing,
by the way, have SO many novelties APP
peared as in the last named article Of.

PROPOSED ACTION


After hearing the entire testimony
Mr.. j. P. West offered the following, which
after some discussion, went over under notice
of debate by Mr.. Buffum:
WHEREAS, The report Of the committee of
this House appointed to investigate into the
matter of the alleged bribery of Hon. Charles
Brandt member of the House of Representa-
tives. discloses the fact that Liberty Hall, on
the 10th day of February, A. D., 1878, at the
city of st. Paul. in this State, did wilfully and
corruptly give one ffty-dollar BILL of the value
of fifty dollars, to the Hon. Charles Brandt,
then and there a member of this House, for
the purpose of corruptly tempting andcompen
sating said Hon. Charles Brandt to vote cor
ruptly and under restraint for certain amend
ments to be proposed to the Merrill text book
bill, then pending before the House; and that
said Hon. Charles Brandt did receive said fifty
dollar bill; therefore,
Resolved, That Liberty Hall be, and hereby
is in contempt of this House of Represents
tives for his wilful and corrupt conduct in
bribing, Or attempting to bride said Hon.
Charles Brandt, one of its members, while the
House Of Representatives was in session; and
that the said House of Representatives hereby
directs its honorable Speaker to cause the
sergeant-at-arms of the House to forthwith
arrest said Liberty Hall, and bring him before
the body of the house to receive it's censure,
and to abide it's future action in the premises
