Captain Pratt will retain charge of them until

Tho kOuth CarOIiMa Plan

South Carolina does not Seem TO be
very much alarmed at a solid north, but
is carried on by the same kind of blind
infatuation which led her into rebel
Ion in 1861. Almost every day new and
interesting features of "reconcilia
tiCn" now in vogue in that State, come
to light, and there is NO use disguis
ing the fact that there is a fixed deter
mination, apparently to blot out every
vestig- of Rrpublicanism from the
State either by fair means or foul, even
to the annihilaiion Of all persons who
presume to vote or act in opposition to
the red shirted bull-dozers. Even from
papers published in their own State
We learn how they have run things
with their rife clubs, tissue ballots, and
every other kind of fraud and outrage,
and now everywhere when the United
States authorities attempt to put in
force the Federal Statutes intended
to protect the purity of elections,
these very same bulldozers step
in to lock up the witnesses and if pos
sibe arrest and imprison the officers
for endeavoring to enforce the law.
This defiance Of the national authority
has not even the color Of Stat. law to
blsk it up, and yet the Democratic
State judges have decided that per-
son cannot be held to answer IN the
State for perjury committed in proceed
ings before the Federal courts. The
case of the Rev. Mr.. Pinckney is good
illustration of this manner of "giving
Radical rascals dose ofcvil process.
Mr.. Pinckney was one Of the witnesses
who evidence respecting the el-c
ti)n outrages at Kingstree. For this
he was charged with perjury and
thrown into prison; and the Charleston
Ne,os and Courier, in reporting the
arrest, remarks that the "the appear
ance of his classical facial formation
through the Jail bars will probably
act as a warning to others of his ilk
that they will no more be allowed to
swear Democrats into trouble urques
toned" OF another witness, against
whom warrant is out, the correspon.
drnce OF the same paper says: He
will yet be caught, or made to leave the
country" Similar action has been
taken in all parts of the State;and now
the red shirt Democracy are going so
far as to arrest the United States Com
missioners also, on the most frivolous
and indecent pretexts, whenever they
attempt to enforce the election laws. One
Commissioner, for instance, who was a
Judge of Probate, was attacked by a
a mob while he was taking testimony,
and obliged to fee for his life. That
was enough. The chivalry caused
him to be- sent to jail for not keeping
his o&c. open.

A NEW LIFE PREsERYER.
The Hair OF the Deer Found to be Five
Times Lighter than Cork.

A few years ago ashrewd hunter in the
Western country sat about discovering
why the deer, an animal not especially
adapted by nature for life in the water,
could swim longer and keep afoat long
er than any other quadruped. The result
of his Investigations was the discovery
that the hair of the deer differs from the
capillary covering of other animals in
being remarkably cellular, and extremely
we'll adapted to retain air. Experiments
with deer hair proved that it was won
derfully buoyant. A. Yankee named
Peck was the first to utilize the discov-
cry, and after taking out patent for the
invention, he sold it 10 Colonel NJ. A..
Bryson, of St. Louis, who, associated
with Mr.. Thomas Knight, is applying
the material to practical uses. The
"Deer Hair Manufacturing Company"
have their factory at 307 West street,
where they make various articles intend
ed to keep mankiud from drowning:
Their life BUOY, in use in the United
States Navy, weighs only two and half
pounds, but it will sustain the weight OF
two men. Their life corset, weighing
only half pound, will support the
heaviest man, and their mattress, weigh
ing eight pounds, with two square pill
lows, weighing pound and u quarter
each, will sustain the weight of FIVE per-
sons. The mattresses are supplied with
life lines at the sides, and, by uniting a
number of these, little raft can be pro-
vided in few moments. All these ap.
pliances are made of duck we'll packed
with deer hair. Another novelty is a
life. preserving pillow, which can be used
as rest for the head, and, at mo-
ment's notice, converted into life pre-
server. The life jacket fastens without
straps, and can be worn under the coat
without inconvenience.
The most interesting of the many in
veutions of the company is raft formed
of two cigar-shaped cylinders, each TWEEN,
ty inches in diameter, packed with deer
hair and connected by a flooring OF
wood. The cylinders are fifteen feet
long, and the whole apparatus weighs
only three hundred pounds. 1t has 8
sustaining capacity of $500 pounds, and
room for thirty persons.
In 1876 government commission made
experiments with the deer hair, and re-
ported that one pound of it would sus'
tain weight of ten pounds for three
days. The latest test was by board o.
naval officers, who reported that after the
deer hair had been saturated for seven
days it sustained in water twelve times
its weight, thus showing buoyancy
five times greater than that of cork
Recently the company have adopted 6
method of removing the oil and othe1
extraneous matter from the hair, and BY
this means its buoyancy has been in
creased more than one hundred per cent
