But Fritz was q strong man and his

rocks were removed, the fields resown,
and the valley restored to its old fruit

ever before, as if the mud and slime
which had lain so long on the surface
were possessed of some fertilizing quail

place of the old one. BY the end of
fifteen years Fritz again was rich man,
richer than before. But his hard heart
had been drowned in the flood, and the
new heart which he brought back from
the Little White Door was soft and
kind. As soon as he could, he sought
out the poor widow, and restored to her
all she had lost, land and home and
goats. Later on he welded her niece,
q good and honest maiden, and they
took the widow to live under their own
roof, and were to her as a son and

The INTELLIGENCER has never been
committed to the support of General Ha'
good for Governor, but it desires fair play
in all things; therefore, we think the at
tack lnade by one Of the State papers
upon him is unfair and unjust, and is in
stigated from desire to do General Ha'-
good harm, rather than for public good.
The editor of that paper is, OF should be,
aware of the fact that the question Of the
fees from insurance license was fully dis
cussed in the Wallace House, where it
was desired to take them from the Comp
troller General and put them in the State
Treasury. Upon investigation it was
found that the Comptroller General not
only had all of his duties to perform, but
in addition thereto had the supervision
of the entire phosphate interests of the
State, together with the duties of 1nsur-
ance Commissioner, thus necessitating an
enormous amount of extra work, which
was not originally contemplated in the
duties of the Comptroller Generals Office
Such being the fact the Legislature
whether wisely or not, decided to allow
the fees to go to the Comptroller General
as compensation for the extra work
Therefore, to say that General Hagooe
has taken an advantage of an oversight
of the Democratic party is unjust ane
unwarranted.

THE Sun spors AND THEIR MEAN

The Sun Spots AND THEIR MEAN
1NG.-The return of the sun spots, ac-
cording to the mysterious law that gov
erns their appearance, is daily becoming
more manifest. They throng across the
great blazing globe of the sun singly, in
groups, aud in rows. They show &c.
cided tendency to flock together, and
generally there is at least one principal
member of q group, of enormous size,
surrounded by dozen or more smaller
spots, some of which can be detected only
with high telescope powers. Many OF
them, however are as large as continent,
and the largest exceed the whole earth
in size. Surrounding the spots are the
facula ridges Of light that stand out
clearly, by their superior brilliancy, from
the intense brightness of the SUMS disk.
Any one can see the larger spots on
bright day with good spyglass, but
great care must be taken to protect the
eyes with n deeply colored, almost
Opaque glass. Sun spots seem to be con-
nected iu some strange way with the me-
Geological condition of the earth. When,
after having been almost entirely absent
for q time, they begin to reappear in great
numbers, seasons of excessive heat usu-

GOOD Work BY COLONEL Ev1Ns.-
The Washington correspondent of the
Charleston News and Courier says: Mr..
Evins has been doing some good work
within the last few days. By argument
before the military committee he has in
duced them to agree to report in favor of
an appropriation of $4,000 for the cele-
bration of the Kings Mountain Centen-
nial in October next. With the special
committee on Yorktown celebration he
has been equally successful. They have
agreed to report favorably his bill appro.
priating $4,000 for bronze statue of
Gen. Daniel Morgan; and the committee
on public buildings have unanimously
agreed to recommend the passage of
Evins' bill appropriating $50,O0O for a
Federal Court House at Greenville. In
reply to my inquiry whether he had Sc
cured an appropriation for the Catawba
and Broad Rivers, Mr. Evins says so far
he has not succeeded, because the reports
of the surveys of those streams have not
been sent to the commerce committee,
and that he is informed at the War De-
partment that the reports of these sur
'veys have not yet been received from the
engineers. Without them no appropria-
ton can be obtained.

GOLD In GEoRG1A.-Advices BY tele.
graph and mail received from the gold
mine in White County, show that the
WELD grows richer and richer, and there
is of Course, an increase in the excite.
ment. Col. J. II. Nichols, who had
started home, telegraphs US from Mount
Airy that the Messrs. Lumsden found on
Tuesday nugget that weighed 44O pen
nvweiphts. This is about one-third lar
ger than the nugget that was shown
in Atlanta on Tuesday, and is almost
eoual TO the nugget of 520 pennyweights,
which vas the largest ever found IN
Georgia. c.. -.,;oh,o
gentleman who is on the ground, writes
that the boys have begun to count their
davis work by the pound, and that on
Monday, only two hands being at work,
thew took out twenty-four pounds OF gold,
or to be exact 942 pennyweights. All OF
this found in nuggets. One nugget
weighed three hundred and thirty penny
weights, another ffty.6ve pennyweights.
The others were smaller pieces, ranging
from FIVE to forty pennyweights. Inc
days work on Monday of the two hands
amounted to over $500, as the bullion IS
worth about 96 cents to the pennyweight.
We await with curiosity further news
from this rich mine. We have little
doubt that the Lumsdens will get huge
fortune out of the old vegetable garden,
that has for fifty years been given to the
cultivation of turnips and potatoes. But
whatever they get will be small fortune
compared to that which awaits him who
cracks the sparkling veins that seam the
hills and mountains that shut in the Val
lev of Observation-Disclosures Constitution.

The tendency of the Republican party

The tendency of the Republican party
in national affairs is more apparent every
day, and, with the decisions of the Su-
preme Court to back it, becomes threat'
ening to the Constitution and the rights
of the States and the citizens therein.
Under the present rulings of the Su.
preme Court, any officer of State gov
ernment, yea, even the Judges them
selves, may be taken up, indicted, tried
and convicted for any offence supposed
to have been committed in derogation OF
the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments.
The officers of the United States, in
whatever capacity, may trample upon
the rights and even take the life of
citizen of South Carolina, and yet the
State Courts are denied the power to try
them. 1t is absolutely necessary for
Congress, which is Democratic, to take
some measures to prevent this thing, and
unless it is we'll done and quickly done,
We will have passed from Republic to
an Empire, with no State limits and no
rights which the President or the govern
ment are bound to respect. The objec-
tion is almost as great in civil as in Grim
inal cases, where parties are dragged
from home and taken to Columbia or
Charleston to attend United States
Courts, when the State Courts could at
tend to the matter equally as we'll, and
much more conveniently at less expense
to the parties. We trust that Congress
will attend to this subject before it ad-
journs, for it is of infinitely more impor-
tance than many things they are now
considering. II

COUNTING THE ELECTORAL vorE.-

COUNTING The ELEt'loRAlI fo1C'-
Washington, april 1.-THE Democratic
members of the Senate Committee on
Rules and the Senate committee on the
subject of counting the electoral votes
held long private meeting to-day with
aview to agreeing upon some recommend.
alton for action in regard to the electoral
count to be taken by the Senate at this
session. 1t was substantially decided to
recommend that the two Houses of Con-
gress shall adopt new joint rule provid-
ing that in case only one certificate of
the electoral vote of State be presented
to Congress it shall not be rejected, ex.
cept by the affirmative vote of the two
Houses, and that in case of dual returns
neither shall be counted unless the two
Houses agree that one of them is the true
and valid return. This proposition was
substantially the same that was offered
by Senator in the 44th Congress and
then adopted by the Senate in the form
of a bill, which, however, failed to receive
final action in that body in consequence
of Mr.. Thurman having entered a motion
to consider its passage. The former 22d
joint rule on the subject required every
vote to be rejected to which any objection
was sustained by either House.

The Hunted MOonshincrs.

WASHINGTON, April Is.
1t will be remembered that one of the
acls of President Hayes, much criticised
at the time, was to offer general amnes-
ty to illicit distillers in the hill country
of South Carolina if they would come
into Court and plead guilty. Three
hundred and twenty-nine persons surren-
dered and pleaded guilty under this pro-
mise is 1878. 1t is gratifying to read in
Mr. Raum's report:
am glad to be able to report that,
dating from this great act of clemency,
there has been steady improvement in
the condition of affairs in connection
with the internal revenue service in
South Carolina. There exists much
better state of public opinion in respect
to enforcing the laws. The State officers
have generally lent their influence in
favor Of the their observance, and the
press advises the people to abstain from
violating their laws. The United States
officers have not recently been resisted.
Four officers stationed at Walhalla, four
at Spartanburg and two at Cheraw police
the country without apprepensions OF
danger, prevent the running of illicit
distilleries, affiliate with the people and
encourage them to establish legal distil.
leries if they will embark in the business
of making spirits.
Considering the amount of political
capital which has been made in the
North out of the whiskey war in the
mountain regions of the South, and
remembering that the popualton is in
the main rude and illiterate and the
reverse Of law respecting, it is curious to
read that in the whole of this region,
which includes parts of Arkansas, Ala:
bama, Georgia, Kentucky, North and
South Carolina, Virginia aud West Vir-
ginia, and an area greater than the whole
island of Great Britain there were no
more than twenty-five revenue officers
and employees killed and for'y-nine
wounded in period of nearly four years,
from June 80, 1876, to February l, 1880,
with work represented by 3,043 seiz.
ures of distilleries and 6,l53 arrests of
persons. On the whole this report shows
promising condition of Improvement,
considering the character of the country
and of its population, a remarkable
abstinence from violence. 1t shows also
that Commissioner Raum has dealt with
very difficult duty in most sagacious
and effective manner.-Special 10 the

T1LDEN's RELIANCE on THE SOUTH

TILDEN's RELIANCE on THE SOUTH.
"A New York letter says: "Some of the
city journals are publishing reports from
various Southern States to show the i'm
possibility of Mr.. Tilden's getting any
considerable support from that quarter
in the Democratic National Convention.
Mr.. Tilden, am informed, attaches but
little Importance to these statements,
which he characterizcs as but weak in
vcntions of the enemy The great mass
of the Southern people, he has no doubt,
are heartily in favor of his denomination,
and whatever opposition is manifesting
itself on the part of some of the leaders,
he is quite certain, will melt away before
the Convention assemblies. Mr.. Iilden,
it is thus seen, is one of the most hopeful
of men. Nothing, apparently, can DIS
courage him. lie has a firm belief IN
himself and in the alleged necessity
which must compel the Democratic party
to again make him their standard-bearer,
in spite of themselves. lie has no ap-
prehensions for the South. He is certain
that will take care of itself. He is more
anxious about the situation nearer
