DisgracefuI lsulidozing by Wade
Hampton:

Cincinnati Enquirer: sit was another case
of bulldozing the colored voter. The New
York Nation tells how Wade Hampton did
it. 1t was at Beaufort, where he had been
invited to make an address. He told the
colored voters they should discard their dis
honest leaders whose rascallties had been
exposed. At this point he produced thick
pile of the evidence of the villainies of
Smalls, the principal negro leader IN Beau
fort county, when that person was in the
legislature, showing, among other things,
that he had on one occasion sold his vote for
two hundred dollars, and had received FIVE
thousand dollars of what is known in South
Carolina as the printing steal, which we
sometime ago explained in these columns
The governor here produced the checks in
dorsed by Smalls, and invited such colored
men in the audience as chose to come for
ward and inspect the statesmans signature,
which a number of them did, and then
shook their heads significantly Smalls
and his friends, who were on the outskirts of
the meeting, could not stand the exposure,
and vamoosed. Such an elementary lesson
IN political morality was worse than the
shotgun. 1t did its work, and Smalls was
not returned to congress. 1t is now in order
to give the solid south h-H.'

A Faithful Dogs Intelligence.

Eureka New Leader: ga party of hun.
ters recently went out IN search of game and
left dog of Luther Clark's tied at the camp.
During their absence the animal broke loose,
with the chain attached to his neck. The
chain caught in some rocks in a canyon,
several miles from the camp, and held the
dog prisoner. When the party were about
to return to the camp one of the deer hounds
ran up, and, catching Mr.. Clark's clothing in
his teeth, tried to pull him in a different
direction from the deer trail. Finally it was
supposed that the dogs had brought down a
deer, and the party followed the sagaclous
animal to find the dog that had been left be-
having so intelligent an animal in their COM
pany. Had it not been for this fortunate
Circumstance the dog would have been starved
