THE Democrats of Ohio have deposed
JoNGEE and permitted General EWING to
have LEN HARRIS to run his machine to
defeat. THURMAN and JoNGEE have pit
tickets for the show. The Cleveland Plain
dealer even eats crow with a bad grace 1t
ventures to say:
We certainly have no objection to General
Ewing managing his own campaign in his own
way but as he and Colonel HARRIS are only
newcomers into the Democratic party 1t is not
necessary for him to poke his nose into the air
aud assume dictatorial pose at once. Let them
get acquainted with the Democrats of some
years standing in the party, in all the coun-
ties of the State. and they will find we are Of

THE editor of the Democratic German
paper at Cleveland, which has cast EWING
overheard, gives the following reasons for
the faith that is in him:
| do not like EWING at all. / have always
been for hard gid (hard money. The German
papers from all over the country are bitterly
opposed to EwISGs election. | read Baltimore,
st. Louis, and Chicago German papers this
morning. and they all say that EWING should
be defeated, just as NALLANDIGHAM was, and
so make an end OF it. Mr.. HAssAUREK, who
was talked of for Lieutenant.Governor on the
Democratic ticket, is violently opposed TO Ew-
ING, and his paper, the VolksJidt, still supports
FOSTER and the entire Republican ticket.

WE judge from the Norfolk Day Book
that Mr. GOODIES district is no more decent

when it counted him in as member

votes cast. The Day Book scolds the people
in this wise for submitting 10, instead OF

rowdy element of the Democratic party OF
Norfolk, which is GOODIES headquarters:
1t is the dereliction of duty of the rcspccta-
bic people who will not attend their primaries
and vote on election day that gives an opening
for the thieving rings and combinations, and
that class blame it on the rough and rowdy
class, by saying they will not go where fight

On Wednesday, the 1ith inst, n young
inan by the name OF William Ferguson
shot and killed colored woman by tho
name OF Matt or Betsy Hatton, in the Cross
Roads settlement, under the most uniusti.
liable circumstances, SO far rs they appear
at present. 1t seems from the testimony
taken at the inquest, that the woman had
circulated certain charges against Ferguson
and another man, which Ferguson tried to
make her retract. This she refused 10 do.
whereupon he shot her with gun loaded
with buckshot, killing her instantly in the
field where she was at work. The occur.
renee is much regretted by all of the citizens
oil the community. and the officers of the
law are usins every effort TO ascertain the
Whereabouts Of Ferguson, who Immediately
lied the country, and secure his arrest.
Governor Simpson l.os been written TO bv
the proper authorities, and will 10 doubt
oiier suitable reward for the capture of
tho accused. Such occurrences as this one
are very much to be deplorcd, and are for
tunately rare i'll South Carolina. We have
not heard Fergusons side of the case. and
therefore forbear further comment until the
JUDICIAL investigation is had, for anv judy-
'heht formed on e1 pdrte testimony is liable
to do injustice to the party accused.

Ezhrepresenting Ladies.

The Abbeville Medium some weeks ago
took grave offense at paragraph in the IN
TELLrGENcER, about the town of Abbcville,
and although we did not see that the con-
struction of our contemporary was neces-
sary, as it was possible construction, we
felt called upon to make proper explana-
ton or apology, which the Medium passed
| over in silence. We did not think then
that our contemporary, who manifested
such refined sense of propriety on that
occasion, would ever be guilty Of the perpc-
tratlon Of similar grossness, but his Issue
last week has convinced us that our esti-
mate of his consistency was very much
higher than the true state of the case war
rants IL 80 longer entertain. Under the
head of ''Thc Crusade" the Medium says:
1t is said that the ladies' Of Andersen and VIII
the whiskey shops at Belton, and the bar-keepcrs
are becoming somewhat exercised over the i'm
and means by which to circumvent the purposes Of
heir foes. The bar-rooms at Bolton are not worse
than other such places all over the country, and
there Is no reason why they should be made an
example OF norc than other liquor dens but n
start has to be made somewhere, and Bolton is as
there, Of course the crusaders will carry the war

Will the Medium do us the favor to give
its authority for this statement by telling
where and by whom such n ridiculous and
utterly groundlcss statement about the
ladies of Anderson and Williamson has
been made? Our contemporary in publish
ing such All article has laid himself open to
very severe criticism, for to misrcprcscnt
and in print slur the ladies of two refined
and intelligent communities is neither gal
liant T. Or is it witty, and our contemporary
is in poor business when he so far forcets
the proprieties Of journalism as to engage in
such scribbling. We are sure our friends of
the Medium wrote the paragraph quoted in
considerably, and therefore shall not con-
denim it in the measure we would do if il
were deliberately written with the inten-
ton of conveying the insult into which,
ninety-nine out of every hundred readers
would construe it. The Medium must know
the people of Anderson and Williamson
well enough to know that the ladies of
these towns would be SO far from pursuing
the course he imputcs to them as the ladies
of the refined town of AbbevilIe or any
other community in the South, and should
therefore make proper amends for the
thoughtless article OF last week by retract-
ng it.

upon as the time for the next meeting OF

We regret to announce the death of Mr.
Amos Acker, which occurred at the resi-
dence OF his son, Capt. X. v. Acker, of
Williamson, in this County, on last Satur-
day morning, at the advanced age of about
eighty-seyen years. Mr.. Acker was a ma
tive of Andersoh County, and has spent his
life in the pursuit c: agriculture in our
midst. lie was o useful and respected citi-
zen, and belonged to one of the most cxten.
sive and influential families of the County.
He raised seven children, n portion of whom
live In our midst as respected citizens, and
others have sought homes and succeeded in
tie West. Mr.. Acker was upright in his
life, and leaves behind him many friends
and relatives who regret his death.
The picnic of the Baptist Sunday school
on last Saturday was u pleasant occasion.
In consequence of heavy rain early in the
morning it was thought best not to have it
at Silver Brook, rs first intended, and ap-
plication was made for the use of the fair
grounds. which were kindly rendered.
About eleven o'clock n large number of
children, with dozen or two of older pco-
pie, assembled at that place, and soon the
surroundings rcsounded with merry, happy
voices, every one seeming to enter into the
pleasures of the day with more than usual
interest. The dinner, which was spread
about O'Clock, was one Of the finest we
ever saw at a picnic, and was of course
much enjoyed by all present. The Evans
Cornet Band was present, and added much
to the pleasures of the day by discoursing
sweet music. The party dispersed about
5 o'clock.

Shall We Have n Reading Room

Mr.. EDIToR: This question has received
the prayerful attention Of our Y. NJ. c.
Association. Recognizing US they do the
highly social nature Of young men, they
propose to establish place where young
men can spend their leisure hours and
evenings i'll reading religious and secular
newspapers, good books and periodicals,
and enjoy them. Rooms where young men
will be welcomed with kind words and
Christian greetings, surrounded with genial,
wholesome influence, and lively, social
Christian atmosphere, where they can enjoy
literary culture, either as means of i'm
provcment or recreation-in wor,l. to
create resort, where the young men will
be safe from the snares, tempta,ion and
contamination of the world, that drag them
down to death, and jeopardize the best in
tcrests OF their immortal souls. To accom-
plish this requires money, at least 500
year is necessary for the maintenance of
the rooms, rent, lights and supply of
reading matter. The Association appeals
to the citizens to assist hcm. Shall they
ask IN vain? Does ii re,, ire any argument
to show that it will be money well invest
ed! What parent or what merchant would
not be delighted if they were to visit these
rooms and find their SONS or clerks spend
ing their leisure hours among the hea;thfu,
surroundings of Y. NJ. G.. A. Reading
Room. Let our people think over this mat.
ter, and when the committee Of the Asso-
citation call OH them, subscribe liberally.
and, after the rooms are opened, supple
ment their gifts by the cheering in fluenco of
their personal presence occasionally. t.
