"The Dissenting Opinion"

We arc not able fully this week to
comment upon the opinion Of Judge
Hudson, but from casual glance we
believe it is right. We shall study it
closely by the next issue of our paper,
and hope to be able to touch upon all OF
the points. Judge Hudson evinced
q remarkable degree Of indepeud-
euce, which, in our judgment. is
commendable. Whenever the bench
stands so high in South Carolina that it
will tower above public opinion and
wicld it. and not be welded by 1t, then
can we feel that solid bulwark stands
between us and all that is detrimental
toward US. Such We hope for, such we
pray for. In making this limited CON-
ment we DO not mean to cast any re-
fections upon any ore.

More Suds than Soap.

There are some people in this world
80 happily constituted that they imagine
that in their precious heads the con-
centrated essence of wisdom is lodged.
IF Solomon himself could bo called
from the tomb, and if his knowledge
had grown while he slept, he would be,
in point of genius, to them as the lamb
is to the lion in point of strength. 1t
may be happy faculty to them, but it is
surely an unfortunate one. They assert
things as facts, based upon this great
wisdom, with as much complacency as
if it was inspired, and for ono who
knew no better, we might for moment
think that the fountains of godly.iuspi-
ration wero once more opened, and that
these precious draughts were drawn
from Emanuels own fount. To listen
to them, you might imagine that the
buzzard scared highest of all the bird
kind, and that the eagle picked the
dead carcasses, with his young safely
lodged in some pine stump; that the
rainbow had no golden edge, and that
the blackest clouds were filled with
money bags. 1t may be happy to them,
but to US 1t strikes us that in all of
these sweet mental hallucinatious, there
is much more suds than there is soap.

Gov. Hampton's Farewell Address
The following communication was
received from Governor Hampton on
the 23d ultimo, and read in both
Houses, and placed on the journals;
1e the Honorable the Senate and House
of Representatives:
GENTLEMEN-I had hoped to be
able to see and thank each OF my
friends of tho General Assembly IN
person for the many acts of personal
and official kindness of which L have
been the constant recipient at their
hands. Providence, while denying me
this great pleasure, has vouchsafed to
me the reasonable hope that l may IN
the future be able to do so. But on
this the eve of your adjournment,
which will be the severance Of my 'ntl
mate official connection with you, feel
i'm pellcd to address to you word o'
farewell.
Your hattering selection ct me al
Senator in the Congress of the United
} States is only one more mark OF th'
= confidence and esteem. which l have 81
, often experienced at your hands, an'
, which has been a never ceosing comtor
, and support to me in my hour of sue Ss
= cess or of trouble. That may be aol'
J in the future to merit it as fully as
have in the past received it, is m
8 highest hope.
Asking that God, in His mercy, ma;
: bestow His choicest blessings on eact
b and every one of you, l am Slncere'
e and affectionately,
t Your friend and fellow citizen,

ct ia New Year"

Tn the same old chronic style, we
tender to our readers happy New
year. May it indeed be a happy one
to them. One by one they roll on
each succeeding the other with more
rapidity as years increase, and to those
who have reached the three score' II
seems but day between one new year
and the next. 1t is time for grave
and serious reflection, and he who
scans lightly the fact that as time passes
on, he, too, is moving with it, but light
lr apnreciates the duties and RESPONSE
bilities of life. New plans, new hopes
new ideas, all crowd rapidly upon US.
The past has been hut series OF dis
eppointmeuts, but in the future we see
no cloud. All before US is hope, and
though those hopes have faded and
passed away in Disappointment as the
morning mist before the sunlight, yet
still they come again, and We feel tha'
"man never is but always to be blest'
always to be happy"
1t is a wise dispensation of ProTl'
dence that we are so created, for with
out it, we would be hurled upon the
sea Of life as a ship upon the ocean
without rudder or mast. But while this
blessing of hope is given US, let us real
ize the fact that We live in o time Of
universal depression and staguation
Want and pcnury are the tenants o.
most of aur Southern homes, and as wt
look around us there are few evidences
of increasing prosperity. Nothing bu'
a full realization of our condition car
alleviate our sufferipgs, and the sooner
that is done, the better. Labor, sor'
row and trouble has been our lot for
long time. Care and anxiety have lalc
heavily upon US, and as the silver
threads have mingled with the black
not from age, but from this care, we
should with fortitudc bear them, and
cheerfully grapple with the future.
Let us, then, be up and doing
Crush out the drones. Stir busily to
the front. Do our oil. Ask His aid,
without which We can do nothing, aud
we venture the assertion that it will be
happy new year in comparison With
the past. God grautit.

ASTRONOMERS of speculative turn
of mind have suggested that there may
be a connection between the variations
of the spots on the face of the sun and
excessive rains and droughts. Now
comes Mr.. b. G.. Jenkins, Fellow of the
British Royal Astronomical Society,
who says that cholera, the black death,
and other plaques, arc the effect of plan
etary influences, and particularly OF
those of the four outer planets, Jupiter,
Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. He goes
back for hundreds of years; asserts that
all the plaques which have swept over
Europe during that period can be &C.
counted for by the movements and
position of one or more of these planets,
and concludes with the ominous predic-
ton: "I would say that, within the next
seven years, there will happen that
which has not happened for hundreds
of years; all the planets at or near their
nearest point to the sun about the
same time. 1t is true OF the earth
that its magnetic intensity is greatest
about the time when it is near the
sun; the same is probably true of all
the planets; therefore we may expect
extraordinary magnetic phenomena dur,
ing the next seven years, and great
plaques which will manifest themselves
in all their intensity when Jupiter is
about three years from his perihelion-
that is, in 1885,"

Great Peanut Match.

The great peanut-eating match be-
tween A. Sniff and J. Junks for $1,000
a side came off at Swoony Hall yester-
day. The conditions were, each con-
sestant to eat quart Of baked peanuts
each quarter-hour for forty-eight con-
secutive hours. The match was terribly
exciting. Before each contestant was
a table laden with quart measures full
of the luscious fruit of the peanut-tree.
Sniff weighed ninety pounds at tts
start, and Junks eighty-six. Neither
had eaten anything for twenty four
hours, and both had voracious appe-
tites. The first few quarts of peanuts
went like snow before July sun. The
floor was soon strewn with shells. After
eating four quarts Sniff look q short
rest, but Junks kept ON manfully. AT
the hour of going to press Sniff was
visibly swelling, while Junks was eat
ing away with apparently as good relish
as when he began. At $50 p. m. the
score stood: Sniff, % quarts; Junks,
% quarts. The hall was thronged, and
the excitement was intense. Bets were
freely offered, 800 to $50, that Sniff
viii win. Junks' friends are confident.

A California Court Rules that Infidels
May Testify.

Charles de Lacale was called as wit
ness for the prosecution, and MIR. Barnes
said he wished to challenge the compe-
tency of the witness on the ground that
he does not believe in Deity. He
was not aware that there was any rule
governing such cases in statute law,
but, under the common-law rule, he
was entitled to examine the witness as
to his belief in a God. Our statute
makes distinction from common law.
It makes no distinction as to a mans
competency as witness because of his
religious belief, but the common law
does. He did not know how far the
United States Courts are governed by
the State laws.
The Court said it was not inclined to
recognize that common-law doctrine as
a rule of this day. The law would be
considered obsolete.
Mr.. Barnes gave the different rules
prevailing in the several States under
the statute law, and said he could not
say what was the rule of the day.
The court did not doubt what the
rule formerly was, but many old rules
had been exploded. The proposed rule
would exclude Profs. Tyndall and Hux-
ley as witnesses.
Mr.. Barnes thought otherwise. He
did not understand that Prof. Tyndall
was an atheist. He believed in God,
but did not believe in the efficacy OF
prayer. When a witness swears upon
the Bible to tell the truth, the truth
must rest with his conscience to his
God.
The court reasserted that the rule
had become obsolete; if it had not, il
ought to be. The enforcement of such
rule would be an outrage-to cut off
by circumstance, very important tes.
timony. The motion would be over.
ruled. What do you mean by an
atheist?
Mr.. Barnes-I will explain in a mo
ment.
The Court-You can put the point il
any formula you choose for consideration
hereafter.-Sa7a Francisco Bulletin.

An Incident of the ZuIu War.

The most extraordinary incident con-
nected with the massacre was the mar
row escape of Commandant Lonsdale,
who notified Lord Chelmsford. Com
mandant onsdale was quietly return
ing to camp-he had been i'll was
tired, and was slowly jogging along with
the sort of lazy perseverance character
istic of tired traveller. He had crossed
the small waterw ash to the south of the
camp, when his attention was attracted
by bullet passing G rather near to him,
and on looking up he saw black man
who had evidently just fired. The real
truth was, of course, far from his mind,
and he merely thought it was one of
his own contingent carelessly firing
off his rifle, and pursued his way. To
some extent the incident seems fortu-
nately to have woke him up, and, al
though he saw what seemed to be our
redcoats sitting in groups in and around
the tents, he kept his eyes open, and,
when absolutely within ten yards of
the tents, he saw q great black Zulu
come out of one with bloody assegai
in his hand. This made him look about
him more closely, aud he saw that black
men and black men only we're the wear
ers of red coats. The truth f.shed upon
him; he could read the scowl of
hatred upon every face, but his self-pos-
session does not seem to have failed
him, for, quietly turning his pony round,
he galloped off before the Enemy were
aware Of his intention. A hundred and
fifty shots are said to have been fred at
him as he did so, but by the mercy OF
Providence he escaped, and was thus
enabled to warn the General and SO
save his life and the lives of those with
him. Undoubtedly had not such warn
ing been given, Lord Chelmsford, &C.
companied by his staff and the troops
with him, would have walked without
suspicion into the skillful trap thus
laid, aud in such circumstances few
would have escaped.

A Patagonian Dinner.

The piece de resistance is principally
ostrich, but this can be served with
rice as pot-au-feu, or steaks can be
broiled, the wings, which are the great
est deicacy-something like turkey,
perhaps even finer being sent up as
separate dish, the gizzard roasted
a PIndien'ae; and for the third course,
custard of ostrich eggs, sugar and
gin. The guanaco, when fat, is said to
be not unlike beef; but at certain sea-
sons of the year it is terribly lean, and
in that case only tho head can be con-
sumed, and it is usually roasted under
the enbers and eaten cold. The muito,
or small variety of the armadillo, is
considered great deicacy, and during
the winter and spring months, when it
is fat, the puma is greatly priced. In
deed, puma fat seems to be invaluable
to the hunter, who finds it impossible
to subsist on q diet Of lean meat; and
to this he is often reduced when his
stores of biscuit and other provisions,
and even salt, are exhausted. The

Postage-stamps rained for several days.
And when the people found that they
were not receiving their quid pro quo,
they sent on more postage-stamps. And
the most successful of the three adver-
tisements was the last. Finally, the
three journalists turned over their ill.
gotten gains to charitable society, and
told their story in the newspaper, in
order that the dupes might know what
became of their postage-stamps. They
had satisfied themselves that human
credulity had indeed no limit.
