DIED. on the 18th of November, 1880, al
the age Of I months. 2 weeks :ad 6 days,
bright little Bolton PREscoTT, the infant
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Calvin Il. Sturkie.
Small rs an infants grave it contains the
greatest JOY of q large circle. and especially
those to whom he was so dear by the lie Of
parental affection. His absence will ever
cast q gloomy shadow OYER the sanctuary of
home. Never while the heart of that
mother beats in her bosom will she forget
how pitiful he would look up in her face
and say ma when seized by the struggle
OF death, as if he thought she couid give
him relief. How hard it is to parents to
part with those little ones so near and dear
to them /; especially to see them consigned
to the cold grave. But he has gone to join
the Heavenly choir of those little ones that
have gone before in the Paradise Of God.

expectation of being permanently 10
Gated on forty acres with q mule.
But since the election they have been
left to struggle Southwark as Lest

Thousands of dollars were made by
y the instjgators Of these diabol!cal
schemes. But our Sambo can learn,
and when he knows anything lie

q new scheme has been deviscdby these
self.styled philanthrop;sts, to delude

eolored men and their families to.

co, styled the land of milk and honey,
at the small price Of ten dollars a

long-faced Quaker, Browne, and a
canting General Conway, who with
their company will make one million
of dollars for the removal and at least
"a million a year by the labor Of the
colonists for so long q time q they

We have clipped the following item
from the G~reenville MserS of the goth
instant; and we beg to call the at
tention of the higher U. S. officials to
the infamy of their conduct. So long
as the appointing power continues
to select such much men for office,
the government will be condemned by
our people. Let them appoint men
of character and substance, and
justice will be done to all parties and
the South will begin to have conf
dence in "the best government the
world ever saw"
GA QUEER TRAFr1c.-Truly the op-
erations of the United States officials
are past finding out. Yesterday a
gentleman who was arrested on the
previous day for violation OF the cleo
ton laws by Deputy Marshal S. ?.
Lanford was shown the warrant to-
gether with half a dozen others, all
having been purchased by a third
party from deputies. His warrant
was sold on the evening OF the day it
was executed, the purchaser becom-
ing entitled to the fees attached. 1t
can easily be seen low readily "a

at the expense of Uncle Sam by

who give him his rutions. Which is
the more sensible Of the two, the
Times for catering to the morbid APP
petite Of its readers, or Sambo who
goes as his appetite dictates?
Besides this view of the case, it is
known to US that in many sections Of
the State the negro did not vote at
nil. In Lancaster County, the Radi-
cal tickets did not reach the boxes in
time, and although the whites offered
to write for their colored friends, the
latter we're so indifferent to the result
that they declined the offer. In
Edgefeld County every facility was
offered the negro, but he refused to
vote in many places and said he did
not care u d-n who was elected
President. It is said by one of our
distinguished contemporaries that
Fidelity to the Republican party is
the religion Of the negro and if he
had said uas instead of Is, he would
have been sustained by facts. But
the negro is a very changeabie crea-
ture and his religion now consists i'll
something more substantial. He has
learned that it is worse than intdeiity
not to provide the necessaries OF life
for his family, and that there IS more
religion in a present supply OF food
and clothing than in Republican
praises Of q future eIc$ium in which
ambrosia and nectar will be his meat
and drink. Hence in the last contest
he stood by those who furnished him
with land to work and provisions to
supply his family till the crop came
in. This makes him a much more
reasonable being than u Yankee
brethren take him to be. In a word
they have about as much feeling for
him as they have for a baboon.

Of the murder Of Mr.. Maddox, that
&c was reused up at an unusual hour

fused on account of house room His

the other hand. The man warded
off the blows with his arm, but let his
pistol fall to the floor. Maddox
pushed him to the door and some one
fired, shooting him through the breast.
He pitched forward out of the door.
Mrs. Maddox jumped out of bed, ran
ont at the back door Of the house and
to Mr.. Vermillion, who lives some
two hundred yards away, screaming
for help. The men fired a few shots
ut her as she ran off.
Mr.. Maddox's step-son, a boy OF
twelve years, got hold Of the gun and
shot out of the door at the men and
then a of. He reports that he saw
two more men on the steps and close
to the door of the house. The party
carried Maddox's trunk out in the
orchard and broke it open, and car
ried off q small tin box with all his
land papers in it. don't think they
got any money! Mrs. Maddox re.
turned with help and found her three

The State Board of Canvassers ad-
journed last Saturday night, after dis
posing of all the protests and contests
that were properly before them for
final action. The Board overruled
the action Of the County Board Of
Charleston in relation to two very
heavy Radical boxes, which dimin-
ished the Democratic majority very
much, but notwithstanding the county
was carried for all the Democratic
nominees.
Mr.. J. E. Dent contested the cleo
ton as 10 Sheriff in Richland, but af-
ter a patient hearing and able argu-
ments the canvassers decided there
was not sufficient evidence to disturb
the conclusion of the County Board.
Protests were sent from Sumter,
Williamsburg and Orangeburg coun-
ties and after impartial and full in
vestigations, they were dismissed. A
few other protests were filed, but were
either Withdrawn or not prosecuted.

Tany-Hoes.

AS the visitors to the menagerie were
walking about viewing the animals yes
terday, it was very amusing to hear
them name them after the real Adamic
fashions, depending on their eyes ana
the forms that passed before them, for
there were no tags or placards by which
they could be intelligently guided. One
well dressed young man from the coun-
try looked at the cage Of pumas, and
speaking to his girl remarked:
athens the largest Maltese cats that
/ ever saw"
But two brawny sons of Erin, who
were gazing in amazement upon a cage
of hyenas, the lower half of the outside
door Of which rested in front of the We
hicle with the word "Talla-ho," hand
somely painted thereon as title 70 the
coaching scene painted above, led the
ivan.
"There's no such animals as thin in
the ould country" said one
"What the blazes do We call em !"
asked the other. "Just see how they
stick their heads forward like sassy
mayer !"
"They look as name as the snakes
that haunted Jimmy Hogan whin he
was geeting over his last spree" added
the first.
At that moment the eyes of one of
them struck the title painted on the
door, and he remarked. with great conf
dence: Fl
"Thcm's tally-hoea Probably they
are pet bastes with the dirty Injuns ont
West. There was never mothers son
of 'em this way before"
