To Re Scalped.

A "Union Soldier" writes from
Springfield, Mass, to the Sun as fol-
lows:
SIR:-Can you inform the country
whether James \. Garfield has ever
been scalped? IL he has not, the re-
publican party has an immediate duty
to perform before taking any steps 10
elevate him to the presidency. His
hair must be lifted ut once. His party,
which ''metes out justice to ALL" has
pronounced that doom upon all such as
he. Among the republican campaign
devices of 1876, nothing did better SER
vice nor vas more constantly put to
use than the aPocryphal story about
HAYES reply to the committee of his
congressional district when appraised of
his nomination for congress in 1864 and
asked to come home and take the stump
"Yours received. Thanks. | ha re
other business just now. Any man
who would leave the army at this time
TO electioneer for congress or any other
place ought to be scalped.
Yours, II. b. HAYES"
Garfield entered the army in August,
1861. In less than a year he "left the
army 10 electioneer for congress" he
having been nominated in the nine
teenth Ohio district. The army record
shows that he was absent con account
OF sickness" But the newspaper files
of the period show that he was Oh the
stump la the Ashtabula district until
after the election in October. Then he
returned to the army only TO remain
till the assembling of congress in 1868,
when be resigned for good. Now, ac-
cording 10 Hayes and the whole army
OF republican orators and newspapers
ionr years ago, Garfield sought TO be
sealPed." In the very darkest period of
the whole war he "left the army to
elecaOneer for congress. With the
characteristic hypocrisy of the reDubli-
can "reiorme r. also, ne pretended that
sickness" was the cause of his absence.

We have had showers for some
ten or twelve successive days-a
Washing rain on Sunday, 4th.
Corn and cotton are looking fine,
oats Is failure, meadows scarce,
but good as far as we have noticed,
circumference of few miles.
A few OF US here had the pleas
ure of witnessing the closing exer-
cises of Miss Bodenhamer' school
at Brick Church Academy, and list
ening to an excellent lecture by
Mr.-well to say Smith, even of as
small place as Pulaski, wouldn't
designate the man. Well, as we
can't get the lecture published we'll
not tell who the lecturer was.
We were pleased with pupils and
with the progress of one little girl
especially-Nannie Samuels of near
here.
We believe the liquor trade was
abandoned here last spring. Fami-
ly groceries with dry goods are
still sold. We hope the trade OF
the latter will be encouraged and
that no one will again introduce the
former into the neighborhood.-
The princess House" in the
Hurricane" mile or two from
here, was destroyed by fire few
days ago.
We understand that psrti ss (un-
known to us) went there in
day time and told the occupants
that if they didn't leave in a pre-
scribed time they would burn the
house and whip them.
Mr.. Roller found 1856 persons IN
our (lI) district, one of whom was
a colored man hundred years old.
The remains of Mrs. Jane Ingram
who removed from this neighbor-
hood to the Sharon neighborhood
a few years ago, were committed to
the tomb in the Claxton grave yard
on last Sabbath. Another good
woman is gone.
There have been two deaths near
here since our last writlng-Bony
Doss and Mr.. Burt Johns. They
died of pneumonia and dropsy
Mr. Roller will teach the public
school at the public school house,
at Snow Hill, commencing next
Monday. He, David Graves and
others keep up fourishing sun
day school at this place. A good
work this. Esquire Brown and
Mr.. j. w. Hill, we learn, are con
testants for constabulary honors,
land profits, too, if there be any,)
in this district. Our school direc-
tors, as well as several others in
the county, seem to have gotten
into little trouble by subscribing
for some school charts. Some peo-
pie think they went beyond their
prerogatlve. The. wisest and best
men sometimes get "yanked."-
Well try, Mr.. Editor, to give you
facts-but unadorned.

Republican Praise.

Rutland, VT, Herald, rep.
Hancock is the peer of Garfield in pa
triotic sacrifice and more than his peer
in splendid scholarship. The union gun
we have hitherto trained on the demo-
cratic candidate must be shifted from
the candidate and directed on the DEM
ocratic camp Nor can we fairly say
longer that the south gives no earnest
reason of a desire for n Cancellation
when she is willing to vote for a union
soldier whose trenchment arm wrought
as much destruction in her ranks as
Longstreet did in our own. The can
didaey of Hancock is most formidable /;
it VIII carry by storm many simple,
honest union soldiers who followed his
flag. who are creatures of generous i'm
pulse and ardent sentiment rather than
men capable of ellm reflection, who see
that principles, not men, is the issue of
the fight.

No one in any event, we hope, will
undertake to deny that Hancock was
one of the most brilliant soldiers in the
late war. Few who have seen him will
dispute the proposition that he is the
handsomest man in America. His bear
ing in the army was, as a phrase quoted
by Mr., Dougherty describes, superb.
No field marshal whose picture stands
forth in the big wars that flame in the
pages OF history, ever rode down the
lines where the death messengers were
whistling more glOriously than Han
cock at Gettysburg. As a ffgure-head,
he is the most splendid and striking
that could be selected.

A Diseased Liver

Duncan's Liver and Kidney Medicine
is a cure for all diseases having their
origin in diseased state of the Kidney
or Liver, such as sich headache, dyspep-
STA, swimming in the head, loss of appe-
tite, bad taste in the mouth, heartburn,
tenderness or fullness over the region of
the stomach, cramp collie, costiveness,
palpitation of the heart, pain in the back,
sides and limbs, and all diseases pecul-
lar to females. We can say to our
friends that the above medicine is just
what it is represented to be, and is pro-
nounced by every one who has used it
far superior to any Liver Medicine they
have ever used. We know it gives bet
ter satisfaction than any we have ever
sold. Knowing it to be purely vegeta-

We are really sorry to learn that
Mrs. Elizabeth Lasseter, the veneer
able mother of Messrs. Monroe and
lack Lasseter, had the misfortune
to sprain her ankle one day last
week and is now suffering consider
ably from the effects of the painful
injury. A short time since she had
a heavy fall which resulted in much
bodily pain, and this fresh misfor-
tune is very heavy tax on her
strength and fortitude; but sue
bears it With much patience, calling
to her aid that spirit OF Christian
resignation for which she is noted.
We trust she will soon be relieved
from the irksome conlnements of
her chamber.
