THEN AND Now.-Six years ago when Bill
Sharon first entered the lists as candidate
for the United States Senate, the Enterprise,
then the leading Republican paper of Nevada,
opposed Sharon's candidacy with all the vigor
ous English that Joseph Goodman, the owner
Of the paper, could command, on the grounds,
FIRST, that Sharon was not resident of the
State, and secondly that he was wholly unfi'
for so important a trust. Will the present
editor of the Enterprise dare assert that Good
man was not as solid, conscientious and stall
wart a Republican as the State of Nevada
could show The Enterprise cannot answer
the objections raised by the APPEAL to
Sharon's bold invasion Of Nevada with bad
record behind him and "a sack in front. Dodg.

THE DEMOCRATIC BRAIN FACTORY.

People who read the editorials in the Dem
expression, are some " hat puzzled to account
for the singular circn2stance, that Bourbon
journals published a thousand miles apart are
simultaneously affected with the same ideas
regarding the Presidential candidates. This
singular example of small minds running in
the same channel can be accounted for.
S,me years ago newspaper was published in
this city under the name of the Carson Regis

Of Democratic journals who are unable to
launch any original campaign thunder from
their tripods. These circulars contain editor
ials and startling political points which the ed

the reason why the Hancock journals all over
the country contain the same leading articles
on the issues of the campaign. Most OF
the Democratic journals are low being edited

Spelling for a Fiqht,

The level headed editor of the Co.

as follows on the letter of MIR. W. B.
Cash TO the editors of the Nclvs and
Courier: "Mr. w. B. Cash, the son Of
his father has written O threatening
letter TO the editors of the NeeUs and
Courier, in which it is broadly limited
that if they do not quit traducing and
misreprcsenting his father in regard

Shannon and DePass, they may be
called upon to partakc Of a cold
lunch, the prominent dishes of which
might be pistols and coffee. The
editors are evidently not particularly
alarmed at the turn matters have TAX
Ell, and do not seem disposed to be
driven from their prescribed course of
duty by "papcr pellets Of the BRAIN"
They give the note the benefit of their
columns, and reply in IL haif serious,
half humorous vein, as if they did not
care much, as shedding ink don't
always result in shedding blood. A
gunpowdcr reputation is not as essen
tial, as passport 70 the inner circles
OF the better class Of society in South
Carolina, as it once was, and man
who fights duel now does it at his
own risk with all the chances of life
and position against him.

Arrested.

Col. Cash, who killed Col. Shan
non in the recent duel, being notified
by the Sheriff Of Chesterfield County
that the warrant for his arrest was in
his hands, went to Cheraw and sur.
rendered himself to that officer. A
special deputy being put in charge of
Col. Cash, he was allowed to return
home and will remain there until he
can appear before Judge McIver on
writ of habens corpus. This is rath.
or unusual proceedings in case of
murder, and would not be practioed
in cases where ono man shoots down
another in cold blood. We fail to
see difference to warrant the excep.
tion.

ST. Georges.

We enjoyed a most pleasant visit
to this aourishiDg toWn on Saturday
and Sunday of last week on the occa-
sion of the meeting of the District
Convention of the Young Mems
Christian Association. Few places
of the same size, about four hundred
inhabitants, presents more attractive
features than St. Georges to visitor.
Prosperity seems to rest upon every
enterprise, whether professional, mer-
camille or mechanical, and harmony
Of purpose and unity of sentiment
among her citizens are noticeable
! even by the most casual observer,
making stay of days among them
of more than ordinary interest and
pleasure. The home assigned us was
with DIR. p. L. Moorer and his pleas
ant family, whose generous hospitali-
ty we found to be only the type Of
that dispensed by the entire popula-
tioh to the delegates in attendance.
We speak but the general sentiment
of the convention when we say it was
liberal, unconventional and full of
that christian fellowship which emf.
nently characterizes the entire COM
munity. There is religious atmos-
phere about St. Georges that is re-
freshing and healthful, which one
cannot breathe without feeling better
for having done so. 1t pervades eve
ry sect and condition of life. With
such people intercourse is pleasant,
and every member of the convention
bears with him delightful memories
OF his visit, and wishes again to en-
joy communion with The generous
friends of St. Georges"

Messrs Editors:
Please announce MIR, CHARLES B.
GLOVER as Il candidate for the above
office. It is useless to say anything IN
his favor, as his ability is already dis
played by the manner in which he has
discharged the duties of that position du-
ring his term of service. We further urge
onr claim in his behalf on the ground
that the incumbent of that office ought
to have considerable experience in the
practice of law, as the office is not .smin-
isterial," but is beyond doubt "Judi-
cial." Any persons desiring to satisfy
themselves on this point can do so bv re-
ferring to the Constitution of our State
"Article 4, Judicial Department. Sec. 20.
Also revised Statutes, pages 572 to 57S,
Title 4, Probate Court" and to the

Glover through your columns, we pledge
him and ourselves to abide by the decis-
ion Of the Democratic County Nomina-
ting convention. MANY VOTERS.

The Majesty Of the Law.

Law should be the expression Of
the VIII of the people and, to be au-
thGritative, should receive the wiling
ohedieh!ce Of every element in a com
muaity. A society, controlled. by a
power invested with such right, rep
resents the best form of human gov
ernment which throws its wholesome
influence around every member, resu-
lates every phase Of custom or prac-
tice that may obtain among it's ela-
ments, and issues it's mandates with
q power to secure obedience. The
highest type Of civilization is found
here. On the other hand, power with
out right is the most detestable OBJ
ject that can be presented to the mind
for thought, and is second in this
quality only 10 law without authority
to command obedience. We can
very we'll understand how one man,
or even n set of men, may desire
their will 10 control others, but how
forty millions Uan submit TO such a
power is a little beyond our ccmp:e-
hension; nor do We see how the en-
tire moral sentiment Of community
can yield its right to control to a
vicions phase or criminal practice.
The first is the dictum of despot
and prevails ip some countries as a
burden and hin(lrance TO progress !;
the second, often relic Of hurbarism.
rests as n blot upon society and 81
blight to blast the growth of correct
moral sentiment. As the one exists
only by corrupting the masses, SO
the other lives only by poisoning
public opinion-both pcrnicious TO
their subjects and work ultimately
their own destruction. Ducling as u
practice occupies precisely This posi-
Lion in American society, and is
doomed sooner or later Ivy the opera
tions Of correct principles to give
place to higher morality and trucr
sense OF honor. Once it was consid-
cred test of bravery and proper
adjus,cr Of wrongs, but experience
teachers the contrary TO be true; once
IL was considered honorable and the
duclist 4 leading member of society,
but now it is crime and the duclist
a criminal and voluntarily excludes
himself from society to suffer out his
self-imposcd sentence.
Duclirg has been submitted TO pub.
lie Judgment for decision and the
public has rendered the verdict. 1t
remains only for the law, which is
but the cSpl csion of the public will j.,
to assert ils supremacy by controlling
the actions, directing the modes Of
thought and regulating the custom Of
every individual in society II there
was ever 4 time and case calling
forth the authority of the law, that

their crimes, whether it be death on

ty protected.

Mai. John J. SalIey.


The sudden death of Maj. John J.
Salley. Sr., on Friday last, cast a.
gloom and sadness over our entire
town. Being in the Court House The
entire morning trying to complete
his Census report, he seemed in his
usual good health except at times
complaining Of pain in the side, and
conversed with his usual freedom and
cheeTfulness. About two o'clock =.
NJ, his attention having been called
by a friend to the fact Of his horse
and buggy standing in the sun he left
off work and stepped out to put them
in the shade. Whilst in the act of
pulling the buggy he was seen to slap
his hand to his forehead and to fall to
the ground. The attention of DR.. A.
S. Salley, his brother, being called to
the fact, he ran to render whatever
aid was needed, and was astOundcd
to see his brother lying on the ground
already dead. The body was taken
into the Sheritf's Office where Jury
Of Inquest was called and after max
ing satisfactory examination made
up a verdict of death from natural
causes.
Maj. Salley was one of the best
mon we ever knew. He was rs art
less and simple rs child, presenting
purity Of character and faultlcss-
ness of disposition that won the es-
TEEN and respect Of every one who
knew him. Principle, supported by
high Sense Of honor, controlled his
life and from its poinlings he never
wandered for moment. So truo was
this tlRt his friends could tell with
accuracy, what would he his probable
course Of conduct in any emergency
or where he would stand on u subject
demanding decision. For this rea-
son he was honorcd by his neighbors
with several positions of honor and
trust and was found ever faithful and
true. Having received in part mill
tary education at West Point he was
in early life one Of the principal pro-
Jectors of our present noble company,
the Edfsto Rifles, and when organized
was elected its first captain. His
zeal and proficiency in this depart
ment secured for him the position of
Major OF the Fourteenth Regiment Of
our State Militia. Having served in
these offices with honor 10 the COM
mands and credit to himself he was
electedaor several terms Tax Collec-
tor for the county, aud here, too, dis
played the unwavering adherence to
principle which was ever the guide Of
his life. On the very day of his sud-
den dsSeh he had been nominated in
t!lssss pa by his frientls,for the office
of School Commissioner and in all
probability would have been the
choice Of our citizens.
Maj. Salley belonged TO one of the
best families in our county, the mem
bers of which are high toned, trusty
and patriotic. OF six brothers and
quite a number of sons every one did
his full share of duty in the Confeder-
ate service and since the war has sus
tanned his Integrity unstaincd by the
poisonous touch Of Radicalism. In
the death of Maj. Salley the county
has lost noble and honored citizen,
the church o pure hearted Christian
and the community loved and hon
ored member. Our sympathics are
rendered the family.
