The Venango Traveller.

On another page will be found a let
ter taken from the In dependent Press,
(published n, Franklin, venaneo coun
,y, Penn, which explains itself.
The writer gives his impressions ct
our town and county in eommen'a-
bly, fair spirit, and yet We think lie
Fails to do us justice, He compliments
the location Of the town and the re
sources Of the county, but in's The
town, as he thinks, lin the eng ymeh'
Of a stupcf ing sleep which has been
unli,lurle, COR ever SD many years
And the county in very much The
same condition--",he fences and lnll .
ings are allowed to grow old aud tuIn,
Ule down,"-"rcapers and mowers and
even good p!oWs s,arcc,-"ha'I III"
blowing done with ball tongue
In regard to the amour; Of p'o"'ns
done with the bull tongue, he IS most
certainly greatly mistaken, And good
farming implements Of all kinds ere
comm. into use as fast as TIC ability
Of the people vii allow Of; but he is
right, unquestionahly, in SAYING that
our fences and buildings are allowed t"
lecome old and fall down The truth
is. We have never vet learned how /"
prevent the rapages o. tame. But he
ulav make himself easy on that qucs-
lion now, us it is brought TO the no
lice of the public, for some Yankee will
be sure to favor US al an early day
with an inrenG n to meet the demands
Of the ease.
The writer can't resist the tcmpta-
ton to give the carcass Of the dead
lion, slavery, kick or So IN passing
at,ribuling all our ills to tina, insli'u-
ton. He may make himself easy on
that subject also, for the old fellow is
really dead, dead, and over his grave
is written no resurrection. Bat he was
a jolly oll fellow, and under his sway
Winchester aud the South "blossomrd
as n gardcn.' What grand old time
we had then! The poor negroes worked
hard all day and sang and danced all
night, free from care and want! A
princcIy liberalty and generous hos>
pilality prevailed ever. where-wl'h
brothcrlv love and good will toward
all mankiud--and everything wen: mer
ry as II marriage bell. But that has all
passed away forever, and in its stead
we have a new dispcnsalion-that OF
ii6erty-to work or starvc! We have
heard the evangcl Ct work! work !!
work 1t is now rae for life--every
fellow for Aimselr, and the devil take
the hindmost. And il Venango has
any other aims on the South than that
of making living by hard work, he
may at once dispel the illusion.
He handsomely compliments both
Of our srhools--tl:e Mary Sharp Col
legc and the Winchester Normal-and
was considerable enough to tell US
which side of the question OF CO
education was the moa Popular. This
was very clever of him indeed.
But Venango thinks Winchester is a
sleepy town. Well, man, she has sent
very widc-awake sons to every battle
field of the nation since the Revolution
whether foreign or iutcrnecine, has
sent wlde-awakr sons TO the councils
of the nation; las filled every office o.
the State with them. Our Governor
to day is citizen of this sleepy town,
and yet he is as widc>awake Gov.
ernor as can he found in the country,
North or South. Away, then, with
Venango's absurdities.

probably $4,000 worth. Mr.. Parker die

probably $4,000 worth. Mr.. Parker did
not state the amount he had bought, but
testified that at one time Mr.. Laughlin offer
ed him lot of $4,000 which he did not buy.
At the conclusion of the testimony Justice
Fickling required bail ip the sum of $4,000,
which the accused was unable to give, and
he was therefore committed to Jail to await
the action of the grand jury.
The Columbia correspondent of the Ne,us
and Courier gives the following sketch of
the personal history of the accused:
Alexander G. Laughlin, who is charged
with having committed the crime which has
brought the office with which he is connected
into such disrepute, is native of Fairfield
county, and has been the recipient of numer.
Gus evidences of confidence upon the part of
the officials of the banks here, with which
both parties we're connected. Laughlin was
a poor boy before the war, and won his way
to position of trust on the Greenville Rail-
road in 1856. Subsequently he became con.
nected with the Exchange Bank Of this city
when John P. Southern was president. This
was from 1862 until 1865, and during that
time Laughlin enjoyed the confidence of the
president and board Of directors Of that
bank At the time Of his resignation as
cashier. at the close of the war, his accounts
were examined by the committee Of the board
of directors, and his conduct of the business
of the bank specially commended, although
reports were freely circulated here that
Laughlin had appropriated large amount of
specie belonging to the bank. He spent sew
eral years in Europe and returned to South
Carolina about 1873 and engaged in business
in Charleston.
The accused is of engaging manner, OF
afable disposition, and shrewd in his business
qualifications, the latter qualification con-
tributing in no little degree to his present
downfall.
The same correspondent says that it is sta.
ted upon good authority that Charles Logan
broker in Columbia, who is the attorney in
fact for ex-senator Robertson, who held sew.
several hundred thousand dollars of the bills
of the Bank of the State, first discovered the
swindle by purchasing bills which he had
previously funded.

LETTER FROM CLOVER.

CLOVER, S. c., July 5.-The new store
room of j. B. Jackson Il Co., has received
new coat of paint, and the house now presents
neat appearance. As Il matter of some GU
rosity, would state that the counters in this
store are made from walnut tree planted by
Mr.. J. B.yJackson, the senior member of the
firm, when he was q boy.
Among other Improvements in progress, is
the erection of a two.story building on Acad-
emy lot-the first floor Of which is to be used
for school purposes, and the second story for
Masonic Hall. Arrangements are making
to institute Masonic lodge here as soon as
the hall shall be completed.
Clover now has an interesting Sunday y-school,
with Mr.. j. A. Wilson as superintendent:
According to the census just taken, our
township has a population of 1854, a gain
over the census of 1870 Of 1886.
We are in the "dry streak" again this year,
and consequently the crop prospects are not
very fattering at present. Ground here has
not been thoroughly saturated with rain since
the middle of April. We have had few
light showers-suAicient to keep vegetation
alive, but not enough to give it vigorous and
fourish:ng growth.
Mr.. s. L. Campbell, blind man, who has
charge of the railroad pump here, had his
watch .olen last Thursday. His vest, in the
pocket of which was his watch, was hanging
in the pump house, and a negro boy, passing
through, stopped for a drink. He gave his
name az Rufe Lindsay. Half an hour later,
Mr.. Campbell, in putting on his vest, discov-
erd that his watch was missing. Next morn
ing Meesrs. J. b. Pegram and j. T. Barron
instituted search for the watch, the strange
negro being suspected with its theft, and in
Yorkville he was overhauled, the watch found
on his person, and he was lodged in Jail for
trial. Vox.

in no bigoted spirit. He also said Mr.. Hen.
bricks would stand high in the confidence Of
the next Democratic administration.
A suggestion has been made by the Bos-
ton Herald that "the Republican National
Committee should assert the nationality Of
the party by making vigorous campaigns in
the Southern States" 1t adds: "Prominent
Republicans of the North, like Blaine, Conk-
ling, Logan, Ingersoll, and others, would be
respectfully listened to in the South, and by
going there they would accustom the South
ern people to broader and more tolerant
views of political differences"
Senator Bayard will, it is learned, can
vass New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and In.
diana for Hancock and English. He says
he considers Gen. Hancock as good consti-
tutional lawyer as there is anywhere, and that
he will make an honest, straightforward,
constitutional President. Senator Bayard
said to reporter that he was very glad that
his friends had so ardently supported Han
cock. "Of course he added, with smile,
''like all candidates for the highest honor
the world offers, would have liked to win.
I made Democrats endeavor to win, and
now stall 60 with Democratic earnestness
into the canvass, to do all can for Hancock
and English"
- The Raleigh Post gives the following as
the Republican intentions in North Carolina !:
Judge VIM. P. Bynum is apparently growing
in favor as the candidate for Governor. Hon.
Oliver Dockery, they say, will be on either
as Lieutenant Governor or Secretary of State.
Augustus M. Moore, of Chowan, is rising for
Attorney General. Honest old Dave Jen-
kins is to go up for Treasurer, and they say
J. w. Bowman, of Mitchell, for Auditor.
Twenty thousand dollars are said to be ap
propriated from the national committee for
North Carolina. A ticket for the L. gslature,
either straightout or independent, is to be run
in every county, and the most vigorous cam
paign ever made on the part of the Republi-
cans in this State will be that Of this year,
their leaders say.
