A GUsHER BULL-DoZEDA EDACCIDENTALLY.
There Is no city Ia the South where the
average Northern "Gusher" more delights
to sojourn at than Charleston. When he
6nds himself honored" by the association
Of such eminent families as the PINcKSEYs,
GADsDESs, and RHETrs, the cup Of his joy
at once overfows, and he slops over in
his admiration for all that Is Southern"
He even remembers that he has q family
tree" at home, and drinks in all the
twaddle about first families" &C., which
the South Carolinians are wont to cram
down the throats of their visitors. But one
of the concilators, q New Yorker, who had
been spending several weeks at that delect-
able Southern abode, had the film removed
from his eyes in rather q summary manner
last Wednesday, and he no longer gushes,
but expresses the opinion that residence
in the South Sea Islands would be far more
agreeable than soiourn at Charleston.
On the day in question Democratic bull
dozer Of the name Of MILLER, a member OF
the Charleston bar and leader In one of
the fashionable choirs walked deliberately
up behind the back of State Senator TAFT,
a Republican, and sh)t that gentleman

TAFT hurried to his room, in the Charleston
Hotel, where the shooting occurred, for his
pistol, but was prevented from returning TO
the fray by the loss Of blood.
In the meantime MILLER WIS searching
through the rooms OF the hotel for TAFT
when he espied q man hiding behind door
Surprising him to be his victim, he placed a
pistol at his head, and would at once have
dispatched the Northern gushing mudsill'

p)rts of such occurrences as the one In
question are regularly received from some
unknown source by some unknown intangi-
blity supposed to be "the Government "

sample dispatch of this kind, taken bodily
from the Philadelphia Press Of the 22d

Especial Dispatch to the Press.l
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2l.-Information re-
ceived by the Government OF proposition
now pending In the Georgia Legislature to
grant special privileges 10 ex.Confedorates
who have been disabled by wounds or the loss
Of limbs by cxempting them from taxation
under State aud county levy excites much
comment. 1t is regarded as very iorcible in.
dication that the spirit Of the late rebellion
still flls the Southern heart. 1t Is admitted
At the Department OF Justice that State has
the right to pension its own citizens where
such All act does not come In conflict with the
United States laws. This movement Is also
regarded as calculated to strengthen the dis.
trust in the North, which has sprung up un-
der the cry OF Solid South. 1t Is thought
that this example of Georgia will be initiated
In other States.
We can imagine Attorney General DEv.
EMS or any other officer of the Department
of Justice making any such admission rs is
herein ascribed to them, or doing anything
else than laugh at the stupidity Of the as
who attempts in this way to impose upon
his employers and the public as a news
gatherer. The Government is o great
thing and for the uses of the "Alibi Guard
seems to be paternal government, for i
serves to them the purpose Of q putativ'
father to their manufactured news. Verify
the business, or profession, rs 1t has beer
called, of Washington correspondence is at
exalted-art aud it is honored by the dis
tinguished service of the Alibi Guard.

ABOUT this time look out for authorita-

forthcoming message of the President But
whatever is said of it the public may rely
upon the fact that it will SAVIOR strongly OF
fairs. ANDREW JOHNSON began his Presi-
dental career with a threat to make treason
odious, and wound up with feeble demon
stration intended to make it respectable.
President HAYES seems to have studied
JonNsoN's career, and to be prepared to re-

THE NATioSAL REPUBLICAN pays Judge Thomas
Settle compliment In the editorial article We pub
lish from its columns II any Southern man is
nominated for the NicePrcsidency, Judge Settle
would unquestionaby be the man. But the North
ern Republicans have not yet come TO the conclu-
sion to do justice TO their Southern brethren.
Therefore we are OF the opinion that Judge Sette's
chances will be very slim. We heartily approve OF
all THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN says about the or
gansation &c, OF our party IN this State, and we
hope to see the day when Colonel Keogh will get
his paint on and call the clan together TO pre-
pare for the action. We are willing to forgive the
Rip Van Winko style Of the State committee in the
past IL they will do better in the future.

Cant Arford II.

A few days since we saw a young man
who Couldn't afford to take books out of
the library" He was well dressed, and
we wondered if it really was possible that
he could not afford to pay fifty cents a
year for the very rich blessing the library
ought to be to young man. Yesterday
we saw this same young man pay fifty
cents for dozen cigars, which perhaps
will last him two days. Suppose they last
him week. This would be the same he
would have had to pay for the use of the
library a year. Now, that young man is
what is called STEADY young man, -
does not drink-and has no immoral hab-
its. He is spending probably 500 year
for cigars, and other useless luxuries.
Unless he changes these habits, he will
never be worth dollar in the world, and
should Sickness or adversely come upon
him, will be a burden upon some one.

''We use nothing but second-grOwth

Home Converssslonal training.

There is no nation more fluent In con-
versation than the American. The French
are more voluble, perhaps, their language
permitting greater rapidity of prOnuncia-
ton than English. Our best converse
tionalists are not rapid takers. One
trouble with us is, each one likes to do all
the talking, therefore Americans are not
good listeners. But mere talking is not
conversation. In almost all home circles
| there is much talking done during the
| day, but we fear there are few who do
not reserve their most brilliant converse
| tional powers for other assemblages than
the home group. Many a father comes
home tired; he has worked hard and
talked a great deal, told amusing anee-
dotes, and displayed much wit. He has
come home to rest, He takes out his pa
per, and is soon obIivious to everything
aronnd him. Wife would like to tell him
many of the harassing Affections of the
day, and would like to hear some of his
interesting experiences, but if he werea
deaf mute he could not be more silent,
only an occasional grunt answering her
many ATTEMPTS at conversation; and the
children, except the goodnight kiss, and
often not even that, are not noticed. Such
a home, whether the abode of wealth or
otherwise, cannot be a healthy and happy
one. As parallel, draw around the
evening lamp of another home circle. The
father tells the anecdotes from the papers
as he reads them; mother laughs her
sweet, lowIaugh, and the children burst
into merry ha has! To watch them as
they ask questions, and listen to the an
swers and patient explanations, the Won
derment, interest, and thought imprinted
on their young faces, is picture for an
artist. This home education is a heritage
more valuable than land or money; and
one beautiful recompense in life is, that
in making others happy we bring happi-
ness to ourselves. Parents who practice
self-denial, and endeavor by cheerful
conversation and playful wit, to enliyen
home-life, will reap rich reward in tbs
better thoughts and nobler actions of theil
children, and will experience the truesi
and best contentment themselves.-Bdltt
