GENERAL NEWS SUMMARY.

We see that the Edgefield Advertiser
publishes the announcements of thirty
two aspirants for Office. We know chat
old Edgefeld has big heart, but " i'll
she crafty all of her aspiring sons,
brother Bacon?
An Alabama jury recently gave a
woman, whose husband had been killed
by railroad accident, $4,000 damages,
and added: "We wish to God we could
give her more"
"A. B. Robson has probably the
largest poultry yard in Kew York. He
keeps 5000 ducks, 1900 turkeys and
1900 hens. They consume sixty bushels
of corn, two barrels Of potatoes and other
food daily. His fowl house cost s., 900.
A writer in Haper'S Magazine says
he has known Lincoln to assemble his
Cabinet, roost his feet on his table, tell
stories tc the secretaries for two hours,
and then dismiss them, not bit of pub
lie business being transacted.
Two of the three negroes hanged IN
Goldsboro, N. c., expressed firm belief
that they were going direct from the
scafold to heaven; but the third was
equally sure that he was going to hell.
''I will breakfast with the devil to-mor-
row." he said.
According to the report of their State
agricultural Bureau, the Tennesseeans
are counting on yield Of at least S,0OO,-
900 bushels of wheat this year. Oats,
grass, corn, cotton and apples are also
looking very we'll in that State, and to-
bacco is the only crop that isn't up to the
mark.
- The Marion Merchant and Fdrnae,
claims for that county the model colored
farmer in the State, the Rev. Silas Cook,
who commenced, when freedom came,
with nothing except largo. ia lilly to
raise and support, going to work with q
will, aud attending to his own business
strictly. He has bought and paid for a
two-horse farm, built frame house in
good style, and has to-day one of the
best crops, both corn and cotton, in the
county.

Prosecuting the Raiders-Case Trans.
ferred to Anderson.
PIcKENa G.. H., June "a

PICKENa &. H., June "a.
Judge Kershaw is now holding the
Court of Sessions here, and the case of
the revenue raiders, Kane, Durham,
Moose and Scruggs, charged with the
murder of q young man named Aaron
Ladd while standing in his own doorway
was brought up before him to-day. The
prisoners surrendered themselves some
time ago to the sheriff of Greenville,
and have been in Jail in that place ever
since, and on pretence of being afraid
of lynching were not in court in person
to-day, but were fitly represented by
William Z. Earle, E.. W. NJ. Mackey
and Absalom Blythe. Earle and Mackey
are sufficiently we'll known to your
readers without further description than
their names. Blythe is a brother-in-law
of Earle, and very much of the same
stripe. This worthy trio moved for a
change of the venue to Anderson County
on the ground that the prejudice in
Pickens against the prisoners was such
that they could not get fair trial in
this county. Judge Kershaw granted
the motion, and the case will be tried at
Anderson in September, so that if these
fellows are hung their friends will not be
able to raise hue and cry about local
prejudice. The counsel for the priso-
ners also asked permission, which was
granted, to argue at Greenville on Tues
day next the right 10 remove the case
to the United States Court, and there is
no doubt that desperate effort will be
made to have the trial come off before a
tribunal where the jury can be packed
with negroes and Radicals in sympathy
with these wretches who have been indul-
ging their brutal passions in all kinds
of outrages upon the deienceless people
of the mountain district. 1t is to be
hoped that the effort will not succeed

The Republicans of Ohio, in their re-
cent State Convention, were very much
divided over the question of endorsing
President Hayes, and, after very bitter
and angry discussion, only gave him a
quas: endorsement; but when the follow
ing resolution was offered, unity and
brotherly love once more ruled supreme,
and, amid .deafening cheers, every one
voted for its adoption: "While the Re-
pubicans of Ohio tender to the PROSTATE
Republicans of the South, many of whom,
being ex-Union soldiers, are ostracised
as carpet et-baggers and scalawags, their
sincerest sympathy in their struggle for
personal political liberty, they pledge to
them their unceasing efforts to recover
for them the rights of free speech and
untrammeled suffrage guaranteed by the
Constitution and the laws of the land,
and they will always honor the name of
Gen. U. S. Grant for his patriotic efforts
in behalf of Southern Republicans" I"
Thus the Republicans of Ohio lead off
in making fools of themselves by attempt
ing to resurrect the old State campaign
issues Of eight years ago. There is one
thing about this resolution, however,
which is worthy of notice, they parade a
sympathy for the PROSTATE Republicans Of
Tie South, which puts them on record as
condoling over the downfall of such well
known corruptionists as Parker, Kimp-
ton, Whittemore and others, and thus
show to the world that they care nothing
about public honesty where their politi-
cal interests are concerned. Then they
profess to pledge their efforts to recover
for Southern Republicans "the right of
free speech and untrammeled suffrage"
when they know that these privileges
have not been lost for them to recover.
The last portion of the resolution about
honoring Gen. Grant for his patriotic
efforts in behalf of Southern Republicans
is amusing, as his efforts in behalf of
Southern Republicans consisted of per-
sistent inclination TO ignore them and
put Northern men in the Southern Offices,
thus giving the Southern Republicans,
SO far as he was concerned, an opportu-
nifty to stay in the corn field, where they
belonged. If his efforts in behalf of
Northern Republicans had been equally
as patriotic, the country would have less
cause to find fault with him, for there
would not have been enough Republican
of6ce-holders in the United States to
have interferred seriously with the hon.
esty or efficiency of the public service of
the government.

A person who was present and wit

"A person who was present and Wit
messed the scene, says that on Thursday
last, when Gen. Joe. Johnston was upon
the floor of the United States Senate by
invitation of a Senator, the scene in that
grave body was almost like levee.
Senators from all parts of the United
States came up to be introduced to him
and to shake his hand. Not once in a
generation is such scene witnessed.
Business was almost suspended.

1t is said that the Republicans of
Maine, through a fellow-feeling for D.
T. Corbin, propose to elect him to the
United States Senate this fall in the
place Of Hamlin, whose time expires on
the 4th Of March. If this gets out in
that State among the voters, the proba-
,bility IS the State of Maine will go Dem
socratic. The people cannot afford Il. be
represented by two such men as Blaine
and Corbin. Their reputation as a State
would suffer by. such a calamity. -

Gen. W. T. Sherman does not seem to
enjoy the unavoidable prominence which
the Potter Committee has given his
brother John, and hence he has on nu-
merous occasions lately taken occasion to
vaunt the idea of "Mexicanization" and
terrible tragedies" before the people,
and arraign the Democratic party for
causing them to exist in his distorted
mind. he .informs the country that
there will be another Southern rebellion,
and that the army will once more put it
down. We'do not know in what school
of phophecy Mr.. Sherman graduated, or
indeed whether he has any diploma in
this school or not, but we do know that
if he has not obtained recognition
throughout the nation as the champion
braggart and hero of words, he has fallen
short of The distinction his merit de-
servesin this line, as the following ex-
tract from his speech about President
Hayes at dinner given the graduates at
West Point recently willshow. He said :
''Mr. Hayes appeared to many to be a
mild.mannered gentleman, and so he is;
but he is more, and if the time should
come when he would be required to de-
fend his right to the place he occupies,
he would be found to have the requisite
nerve and determination !; he knew his
right and dared to maintain it, and what
was more, the army, sworn to defend the
constituted authorities, would see to it
| that he was sustained in the effort" All
who remember the burning of Columbia
will have no doubt that Gen. Sherman,
as "a part of the army, would be willing
/ to take hand in defending Mr.. Hayes
title if be had host of soldiers without
formidable opposition, but any person
reading these declarations will be con-
vinced that they are not emanations
from brave warrior, but are fully suited
to the. man who would devastate the
property of a PROSTATE foe. This exhi-
bition of spleen will not help the Sher-
man family before the country, and will
surely call out the disgust of all brave
men, ea. @

{ Congress has adjourned and left the
work of Mexicanization incomplete.
THE Potter Committee, however, is still
at work on its portion of the business,
and before it concludes its labors the
Radical party in general, and Messrs'
Hayes, Matthews and Sherman in par
ticular, will be pretty badly used up.

The Senate Committee III the Butler
Corbin contest divided in its report, the
majority report being drawn up by Cam
eron of Wisconsin in favor of ousting
) Gen. Butler and seating Corbin. The
Radicals, however, were afraid to adopt
such an iniquitous report, and therefore
postponed it to the next session, atwhich
time it will die an easy death. If, how
ever. il, had been voted upon Senator
Butler would not have been disturbed, as
Patterson and Conover would have re-
manned true to him, and Kellogg, who is
uneasy as to his continuance in Office
after the Democrats come in next March,
would also have voted against Corbin.
There is no room for Corbin in the
United States Senate from South Caro-
lima. =. -.

AL WAYS AHEAD
THE SINGER SEWING MACHINES
April IL, 1878

A RE the Best, Simplest and most Dura-
II BILE in use. 1t has been greatly inn
proved in the last few months, although the
old was very good. There are over six hun
dred of them in dolly use in this County,
giving perfect satisfaction. You may buy a
Machine, "so-called, for less money, but if
you want to be satisfied after you purchase
always get the best. This Company scll
more than all the rest put together, and
there are about fifty different Machines on
the market. The Singer was the first to
reduce the price, and of course the minors
had to follow, and they had to come little
below the Singer, or else they would have to
abandon business, for know from expert
ence that parties say if you will take for
the Singer what l can get another at, will
take the Singer all the time. What do
they mean by that?
Cash prices, $35, $40 and $40, owing to
style and finish, but the Machines are the
same throughout in the nice adjustment of
their parts, &c.
The best criterion thnt can give you as
to my opinion of the different machines, is
my connection with this famous Machine
for nine years in succession.
Machines sold on easy terms. Machines
of all makes repaired at short notice, and
prices moderate. Needles, Oil and parts al

you buy. Upstairs, over barr d Fants
