The Yazoo in South Carolina.

The editorial in the New York Uer
YaAoo in South Carolina" docs unin
tcntional injustice to tho entire South
and more especially to South Carolina
and the people of Oconec county. The
report tclcgraphcd from Washington
on the strength Of letter received by
Col. j. =. Low, from II pomincnt Re-
publican, "whosc name was withheld
from publication for prudential rca-
sons," contains SO many misstntcmcnts
as to be ridiculous, but that the DC.
culiar condition of the minds Of NORTH
crn people makes it dangerous. Let
lis consider The assertions. First, "No
mention whatever has been made of
Bricc's assassination in the local press
OF South Carolina, or in press dis
patches from the State" On the con-
trary, a report of B ices assassination
appear in conspicuous position on
tho first page of the NeWS and Cou,T-
er, with double headlines, and this
statement has gone the rounds Of The
county papers, just as any homicide
III the State would be noticed. Several
subsequent statements have been made
going to show that the assassination
resulted from Il land trade in which
1t is charged that the deceased cheated
his supposed assassins. AS evidence
that both tho courts and the press havc
1ntcrcstcdthcmsclvcs in this murder,
telegram appeared in the Nc,cs und
Courier on Wednesday, giving details
OF tho arrest Of n suspected person in
Georgia, and tho release of some 9th
crs who had been arrested on sus-
picion. This conc!usivcly stamps the
first allegation rs false.
The utter absurdity Of tho second
assertion that "feariny his influence
III the campaign Of 1880 it is said that
tho Bourbon leaders concluded to rid
tho State OF his presence" can be
shown by facts and figures. South
Carolina is enjoying most profound
political calm. No election takes place
until November, 1880. The Rcpubli-
can party is showing no eeus of life.
Even IN Charleston the lu,mdam Re-
pubIicms arc dividing upon Demo-
cratic candidates for the mayoralty.

they stimulate the digestive organs and

AYERS Pills have been known for
more than quarter Of q century, and have
obtained worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilative organs Of the
body, and are so composed that obstruc-
tions within their range can rarely with
stand or cvade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have bailled the best Of
human skill While they produce power
full effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. by
their apcricnt action they grippe much less
than the common purgalives, and never
give pain when the bowels arc not inflamed.
They reach the vital fountains Of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calOmcl
nor any dcletcrious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh.
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.
