A Fable.

Years ago, when the Connecticut Leg.
islsiurs used to hold May sessions, a
member Of that body invented q "shad-
boning machins." which was operated
by means Of . crank. When the weary
members had awakened from their morn
ing nap. brought on by the monotonous
debate, o grand rush WAS made for the
dinner table. and each member. provided
with . shad and q machine. seized the
crank, and a. u turned the bones flew
over the eaters head. and the toothsome
portions Of the nsh were nicely deposited
within his distsndsd jaws. The machine
Was voted = success. and q large subsidy
was talked Of In the lobby. But the
course Of the 4" shad-boner" was not
destined to run smooth. One day an
unsophisticatsd member turned the
crank the wrong way. the nsh dew over
his head. and the bones hlled his mouth
and throat till he ressmbled q living
pin. cushion for . few moments, and
nnally took his departure from Con-
nscticut TO the better land. The in
vsntor was ruined. the machines sold for
old iron. and the primitive mode OF eat
ing shad with the fingers prevails unto
this day. .
The fable teaches the propriety OF
always turning the crank IN the right
direction.

The Republican party of the Third
Congressional District in this State has
nominated Dr.. J. F. Ensor, of Richland
County, as les candidate against Hon.
D. Wyatt Aiken. This will give Col.
Aiken little fun during the remainder
of the heated season, and will necessitate
the active efforts of the Democratic party
throughout the Congressional District.
1t will be so very interesting to see Col.
Aiken meet DR.. Ensor and hear him tell
about that elegant carriage and span of
horses which the Doctor bought with the
States money while Superintendent of
the Lunatic Asylum, and professed to
own as his private property until sundry
creditors asked payment of their de-
mands by levying executions upon the
carriage and horses, at which time to
save them as he thought for his own use,
he announced that they belonged to the
State. There have also been other little
irregularities about the Doctor, which we
will speak of in due time. This nomina-
ton is very weak one, and if we rally
in the proper manner to the support Of
Col. Aiken he will beat DR.. Ensor by
about fifteen thousand majority. We
cannot afford to lose the Congressman
from this District, and just simply do not
intend under any circumstances to allow
a Radical to be elected. We had seven
thousand majority in the last election,
and by very little additional effort we
will make it fifteen thousand.

AMNESTY FOR ILLICIT DIsTTLLERs

The United States authorities have
certainly done wise and timely act in
offering to grant amnesty to all past
offenders against the Internal Revenue
whiskey laws, on the condition that they
will plead guilty of past ofenses and be
law abiding citizens in the future. When
they plead guilty the sentences are rem
dered by the Judge, sealed up and are
suspended during the good behavior of
the offenders, but if they should ever be
guilty of violating the law hereafter,
they will be liable to serve out the pen
atty imposed in such sealed sentences.
Under this arrangement if a man ac-
cepts of the amnesty and pleads guilty,
his good conduct for the future may be
considered assured, and by this measure
the government will do more to prevent
illicit distilling in the future than it can
possibly do by rigid enforcement of the
penalties already incurred. The dis
tillers generally are desirous of accepting
these terms, and already hundreds have
plead guilty at the United States District
Court in Greenville and returned to their
homes, where they can now live without
the continued dread of being taken up
by the revenue officers and imprisoned
for offences which they have committed
since the war against the revenue de-
partment of the general government.
Seventy cases were disposed of in one
day, and the moonshiners are focking in
continually to avail themselves of immu-
nifty from punishment for past offences
on the easy and reasonable condition
that they will Ego and sin no more" i"
Commissioner Raum, however, excepts
Redmond and all who have fired upon
the United States officers from the privi-
lege of this conditional amnesty. This
we regard as unfortunate, for if he would
make clean sweep, without any excep-
tions, we believe there would be an era
of genuine good feeling and law-abiding
conduct in the mountains of this State
such as has not existed since the days OF
notification. Redmond expresses will
ingness to stand his trial in North Caro-
lima for killing Duckworth, and only
wants immunity from punishment for his
violations of the revenue laws. We hope
the amnesty will be made full enough to
embrace even Redmond, and that in the
future the law-abiding character which
the disturbed sections will establish will
fully vindicate the wisdom and efficacy
of unrestricted amnesty to the moon
sinners of the mountains.

ARREST OE KIMPTON.

The arrest Of II. II. Kimpton, the
Financial Agent of South Carolina in
New York during Radical rule, was ef-
fected at Westfield, Massachusetts,, on
last Wednesday. His friends made
every effort to free him from arrest, but
were unsuccessful. He was retained in
custody in default of giving bail in the
sum Of $4,000. Kimpton was arrested
by Massachusetts, detective upon tel
egraphic dispatch without q warrant,
which WAS made the basis of writ of
ha6eas corpus, but before the matter
could be decided an officer with requi.
sition from Governor Hampton had ar
rived, and it seems Kimpton will have
to return to this State to stand trial on
the indictment against him. The latest
news is that the hearing of the writ was
postponed, and no bail allowed him dur
ing that time.

The apparent apathy of the Republi.
cans as to our State ticket should moi;
lull us into inactivity, for it is necessary
for the Democracy to retain its majority
of last year, or we may have very se-
we're and unfortunate contest in this State
during the presidential election in 1880,
or even in this very election. The ses-
sions of the Republican convention were
secret, and who knows that their F,x-
ecutive Committee is not charged with
secretly running q State ticket if the
Democrats become over confident and
apathetic during the coming canvass.
We do not look for such a movement,
but it is by no means certain that there is
nothing of the kind on foot. The only
way to guard the present and prepare
for the future, is to retain our thorough
organization, and give as much time and
labor 10 the canvass as may be necessary.
Especially do we need to keep up our
mounted~ciubs, for they are the most
efficient means that can possibly be de-
vised to keep down the opposition and
ensure an overwhelming Democratic tri-
umph. Mounted clubs secured the re-
demptiou of South Carolina in 1876, and
we must look to them to retain it in 1878
and 1880.

Good Digestion.

"Giye us this day our daily bread' and
good medicine to digest it, is both reyerent
and human. The human stomach and liver
are fruitful sources of life's comforts; or,
disordered and diseased, they tingle misery
along every nerve and through every artery.
The man or woman with good digestion see
beauty as they walk, and overcome obstacles
they meet in the routine of life, where the
dyspeptic sees only gloom and stumbles and
growls at even imaginary objects. The
world still needs two or three new kinds of
medicine before death can be perfectly abol-
ished; but that many lives have been pro-
longed, and many sufferers from Liver dis
ease, Dyspepsia and Headache, have been
cured by MEBRELL's HEpATrNE, is no longer
doubt. 1t cures Headache in twenty min
utes and there is no question but what it is
the most wonderful discovery made in med.
ical science. Those afflicted with Biliousness
and Liver Complaint should use MEREELL's
HEpArrNE. 1t can be had from Simpson,

yet to see the case carried to the Supreme
Court of the United States, and decls-
ion rendered which will sustain the ju-
risdiction of the State Courts. If Judges
Bond and Bryan should disagree upon
the case in the Circuit Court, it would
then go up on a division of the Court to
the Supreme Court, and if they should
not SO disagree the State can carry it up
on appeal. 1t is moro than probable
that Judge Bond will go against the jul
risdiction of the State Courts, and Judge
Bryan in favor of them. If so, the case
goes up easily; but if they do not so
disagree, then the State authorities
should push the case vigorously to obtain
a decision of the Supreme Court.

JUDGE MACKEY,S BOND DECISION.

Although Judge Mackey decided that
the Consolidation Act is not unconstitu-
tional and as a contract is irrepealable
and the coupons receivable for taxes, yet
he refused the mandamus to compel the
County Treasurer of Charleston to re-
oeive the coupons in payment of taxes,
dismissed the petition and awarded costs
to the respondent. This decision of
Judge Mackey makes it necessary for the
holders of the Consolidated Bonds to
submit them to the Bond Court before
they can recover On the coupons or even
present them in payment of taxes. This
is an important decision, as it involved
indirectly millions of dollars. Judge
Ms decision Is wise, as 1t refers the
whole matter of the bonds to Court
with power to decide the whole question,
and thereby prevent the multiplicity Of
suits which would otherwise have been
necessary.

EVIDENTLY MADE TO ORDER.

The Washington Republican publishes
the following document, which processes
to be from South Carolina Democrat,
though it evidently was written in Wash
ington by some unprincipled Republican,
who seeks to afford capital to his party
to run the coming campaign upon, and
as he cannot do so by any fair means,
employs the pen of the liar, with the use
of which most of his political allies are
exceedingly proficient; and the writer of
this infamously false letter is evidently
one of the most contemplate blather-
sixties that has ever attempted to traduce
a peaceable and respectable community:
GREENvILLE, S. c., July, 1873.
To THE EDIToR-Sir: And so you fel-
lows are squirming up North, are you?
We have you just where we want you.
You gave the ballot to the damn niggers,
and now that we have utilized them to
our advantage, you mourn and refuse to
be comforted. Verify have you niger
loving Radicals been hoisted by your own
petardl You talk about overriding State
rights by taking some Radicals from our
jail who have murdered one of our best
citizens. "Just try that on, will your"
But you have no officer here who possesses
the nerve to attempt any such thing. Will
you use the army to enforce old Evarts'
decree7 Forty thousand Confederate
veterans will greet them when they come
on any such unhallowed mission. We
are in the Union, and will not again leave
it to fight Yankees. When the next
"unpleasantness" occurs, which God grant
is not far distant, we will thrash you in
the Union and under the flag. Now, just
"crack your whip" and id be he
who first cries." etc. Don't judge us by
such vermin as old Key, whose fit avoca-
tion in life is that of horse-drover, but
remember that we are true Southrons,
who will perish before we will submit to
dishonor. Remember our motto: memo
me impune ldcc,si."
(Signed PALMETTO.
Of course, every sensible man who
thinks about this letter will know that
1t Is not genuine, but Is published for the
purpose of inhaming the Northern and
Western masses against the South. The
editor who would publish such commu.
nication should be most severely con-
demned, and his paper should be deemed
public enemy. 1t is time for the peo-
pie OF the United States to mete out
severe condemnation to all such journals
as the Washington Republican, which
seeks by all means, whether fair or foul,
to keep up perpetual strife between
great sections of our common country
instead of striving to restore the frater-
nal relations which would exist between

REPUBLICAN, STATE CONVENTION.

The Republican State Convention met
in Columbia last week. The proceed
ings of the body were, as always hereto
fore, noisy and noted for quarrels. 1t
transacted very little business except to
adopr platform, elect chairmen of the
County Committees, and make Congress.
sional nominations. The Convention
determined to make no nominations for
State officers. The Convention was a
failure, and must have very depressing
effect on the party throughout the State.

lasting friendship. We agree with the
Times that the Republican party has lost
some few things which its members
esteem of little consequence, but which
even political parties like to retain. For
instance, it has lost its regard for law, it
has lost all honor and fair dealing upon
public questions, and it has lost every
particle of truthfulness. Perhaps, how
ever, we are mistaken about its having
lost these traits, for we do not remember
that it ever had them to lose. Itcertain-
ly is entirely minus all of them now.
