WHAT WILL THE NORTH sAYs

This is a question which is asked by
the people of South Carolina entirely
too often, We think. There is scarcely q
public measure proposed that it Is not
first asked, What will the North say
about it ? and upon considering the
meaning of this, we will be forced to
acknowledge that it is really the result Of
continued meddling of the Republicans
of the North and West with the affairs
of this State, because the Republican
party continued in power here longer
than in most other Southern States. In
Georgia or Mississippi, for instance, there
is not this tender regard for the opinion
of the North, and re can see no reason
for it any longer in South Carolina. We
are not governing the North but are
governing South Carolina, and therefore
the question should not be what will the
North think? but what will the people
of South Carolina think about any meas
ure? If it is right snd beneficial for the
State to pursue any line of policy, it
ought to be adopted without reference to
the opinion OF outsiders. When New
York and Massachusetts wish to do any
thing, they never inquire as to the opin-
ion of South Carolina. We are as much
State of the Union as either of these,
and our people know as much about what
is best for Us as they do, so that there is
no benefit to be derived from consulting
them about our domestic matters. AS
long as we ask what the North has to
say about our actions, just SO long will
the impudent Republicans Of the North
continue to express their views about
everything we do, and that, too, with an
appearance of justification; for whenever
we criDge and fear to exercise our views
of what is best for us, we virtually admit
the right of these arrant self-constituted
ceasors to meddle with our public affairs.
We think it is about time for the people
of South Carolina to realize that we are
free, and to act as free men by ceasing to
recognize any outsiders, either as our
masters or our overseers.
When we have any matter under
consideration which affects the State,
the questions should be, Is it right ?
and then, Is it beneficial to The State?
and if it is, we should carry it out with
out reference to any other section of the
country. This is the only way to break
up Northern interference, and is the only
way to establish our right to think and
act for ourselves. If we had consulted
the North we would have submitted to
the election of Chamberlain two years
ago. Our success in doing what was
right with reference to that canvass
should induce US hereafter to pursue the
same course of independent action when
ever we have decided upon what our
State needs. If this should be tried, our
people will, find the North will say a
great deal less about South Carolina
than it does when we are continually
trying to please it.

Judge Kershaw has filed judgment
in the Office of the Clerk of the Court for
Union County, holding the act of March
13, 1872, entitled Gan act for the relief
of the widows and orphans of persons
killed because of their political opin-
ions, better known as the Ku Klu1
pension tax act-to be unconstitutional,
null and void, as violating the provisions
of section IA, article l, and sections ! and
8 of article 9 of our State constitution,
and section 10 article l of the constitu-
ton of the United States. A like decis-
ion six years ago would have saved the

The Chicago Times presents its readers
with an interesting programme for the
next Congressional session. 1t says that
j. has information that President Hayes
will be impeached by Congress for being
party to the alleged bargain to give
Louisiana to the Democrats, if they
would allow the presidential count to
proceed so as to make Mr.. Hayes Presi-
dent. This case will be tried in extra
ordinary session of the Senate after the
fourth of March, and Mr.. Hayes will be
convicted and ousted from the Presi-
dency, and that Mr.. Wheeler will resign
because he is too honest to profit by the
fraud, and then Democrat will be elect
ed President by the Senate, which will
be Democratic. It would take a good
deal of credulity to believe this. That
Mr.. Hayes deserves impeachment we
have no doubt, but that he will ever get
1t, we have just as little doubt. Neither
would the impeachment of Mr.. Hayes
get rid of Mr.. Wheeler, for the latter is
not SO honest as the Chicago Times pre-
tends, for if he is willing to profit by the
election frauds to the extent of being
Vice President, he would in all proba-
bility be willing to take the Presidency
itself. The story of the Times is simply
nice little scheme 20 help the Republi-
cans carry the next House of Represen-
tatives by arousing prejudices against
the Democrats in Congress. If that is
the best campaign thunder they can
start, the Republicans had better grace
fully submit to the defeat which awaits
them in November next.

General Mosby, of Virginia has, it is
announced, accepted the consulate at
Canton from President Hayes. This
willnecessitate his leaving the country,

after his departure the atmosphere of

Editor Of the anderson Lntclhgencer:
SIR-Anticipating that you may pub
lish in this issue of your paper the report
and testimony of the Investigating Com
mittee, on certain bills and transactions
therein named, 1 ask, as an act of justice
to myself, that this card accompany the
publication. One Everidge Cain, a col
ored member of the Legislature at the
time he speaks of, uses my name as being
present at a certain time and place. His
testimony, so far as he connects my name
with the transaction testified to by him
self, is utterly false, as was not in the
city of Columbia from the last of No
vember, 1871, to the fall Of 1872, long
after the bills had passed and the scrip
referred to issued, and could not have
been the person he testifes to as having
seen.

! Ithas been asserted by Hon. Jeremiah
Black that exp President Grant is willing
to accept the nomination for President
from the Republicans in 1880, but that
ne requires as an additional inducement
to the salary and perquisites of the Pres
idency, that the party shall raise him be-
fore hand contribution of two hundred
thousand dollars. This sum is just equal
to the salary of the President for four
years, and it is claimed by the friends of
General Grant that as he cannot live on
an income of fifty thousand dollars q
year as President, that in consideration
Of his distinguished services to the party
the Republicans ought to raise the sum
of two hundred thousand dollars, which
he requires as a present before he will
consent to run. We, however, do not
believe this statement is correct, for there
is no doubt in our mind that General
Grant would like to get the nomination,
even without the money, though it may
be he is indulging the idea that he needs
the money in the hope that he will get
the money and the nomination too. IF
It is true that he requires the money as
aninducement to accept the nomination,
he gives evidence of good common sense,
for what he gets beforehand is about all
he viii realize from the canvass, as the
country has about decided to have o
Democrat for President next time. Per-
haps Grant realizes this, and only seeks
to make little money out of his popu-
slarity with the Republicans.

More Than a Year Without Food.

The London Neus says: . The female
anaconda in the Geological Gardens was
torn from her home in South America
some time IN 1876. She was carried
across the ocean in narrow box, which
caused her great discomfort, and may
possibly have impaired her digestion
In February, 1877, the anaconda was
consigned to her English abode, but she
refused to be comforted or to take any
thing to eat. The dainties which have
the greatest charm for her, live birds
and other animated trifes, were, hap
PLY for them exhibited in vain. She
persevered in starving herself resolute-
ly, not to say sullenly, and we do not
learn that food was thrust upon her
perforce. A few days ago she recovered
the taste for living, and gratifed her
friends by Staying and swallowing an
unfortunate duck. She may now do
very well, for appetite comes as we eat,
but her prolonged fast of at least a year
might prove trying to most serpentine
constitutions. It would be interesting
to know whether the anaconda's weight
has varied at all during her unexampled
performance" ast

Recipes.

REMEDY FOR RSENESs.-Horserad-
ish will afford instantaneous relief in
most obstinate cases of hoarseness. The
root, Of course, possess the most vir-
tue, though the leaves are good till
they are dry, when they lose their
strength. The root is best when it is
green. The person who will use it
freely just before beginning to speak,
will not be troubled with hoarseness.
SIMPLE REMEDY FOR BURNs.-Com-
mon whiting, mixed with water to the
consistency of q thick cream, spread
on linen, forms an excellent local ap-
plication to burns and scalds, The
whole burnt surface should be covered.
thus excluding the action of the air.
The ease it afordsis instantaneous, and
it only requires to be kept moist by oc-
casional sprlnkling of cold water.
For washing goods that fade, use
crude ammonia instead ofsoap. Soiled
neckties may be made to look like new
by taking one-half teaspoonful of
spirits of hartshorn to q teacup Of
water; wash well, and if very much
soiled put through a second water with
less ammonia in. Lay it on a clean
white cloth and gently wipe with
another until nearly dry. Then lay a
cloth over it and smooth with an iron
not very hot. If the color fades it will
ill come back to its original hue. Use
no soap, and do not rinse. Just think
how many pretty girls, who have to
practice economy, will bless you for
this recipe.-Er.
FoNDU.-A pint bowl full of minced
cheese which should not be of rich
kind: the same quantity of bread
crumbs; two we'll beaten eggs; half
nutmeg; teaspoonful of salt. Heat a
pint of milk boiling hot, and in it a
large tablespoonful Of butter, pour the
boiling milk over the other ingredients,
and mix well; cover the bowl with a
plate, and set it back on the range for
three or four hours to dissolve, stirring
occasionally, and being careful it does
not cook Half an hour before supper
butter a nice pie plate and pour into it
the mixture; set it in quick oven
and brown, sending it to the table very
hot. This depends for its success on
being quite smooth, and the cheese all
dissolved.
PLAIN SoUP.-Save your beefsteak
and roast beef bones; cover with hot
water, and let them boil slowly all day
if the water boils away, add more boil
ing water; you can have pint or
quart of soup from this, according to
the amount Of bones; any tough pieces
Of the beef can be boiled with the
bones; at night strain and set in cool
place, an hour before dinner the next
day remove the fat from the surface;
add small onion, sliced fine, pinch
of thyme. salt and pepper, and let boil
half an hour, then add two sticks Of
marcaroni and boil till done. Leave
out the marcaroni, add vermicilli,
which requires only ten minutes for
cooking, and you have another soup;
put IN s!ewed tomatoes few spoon
fuls-with half teaspoonful of sugar.
and you have another soup.-Some-
times the soup will be a jelly, when
cold. Do not add water to this, it will
melt
