The appointment of Mr.. w. V.
Van Ostern as postmaster of Irwin,
seems to be very gratifying to every
body. Van is an old war horse, and
will do all in his power to please the
public. He is a 49er, a Mexican war
veteran, and was brigade quarter-mas-
ter of an Ohio brigade under Gen.
eral Sheldon, who has been lately ap-
pointed Governor of New Mexico.

succeeds quite as effectually as General
Grant and his Appomattox episode.
Bourbons never change or learn any
thing, and this particular Bourbon can
not be expected to look upon General
Grant with favorable eye when he
has not yet recovered from the effects
of John Brown, though he has been a
ghost this quarter of century, or to
accept any of the results which have
sprung from Shiloh, Vicksburg, Gettys-
burg and Appomattox, while he is still
fighting the battles Of the border
ruliians. Much less is it reasonable
to suppose that he will ever be ready
to conoede anything to Republicans
who fought for the Government, or to
the General who compelled Senator
Vests State to remain in the Union
sorely against Senator Vests wishes.
The position which he has taken is that
the Republicans should provide for their
dead and wounded, for "we have our
own Democratic dead to take care Of"
If Senator Vest would only devote him.
self to this funereal proceeding, or if the
Democratic party would only make him
undertaken, sexton and grayedigger for
its multitudinous corpses, it would give
him work enough to keep him still and
save the Senate from his offensive ex-
hibitions. AS he does not seem to be
aware that he is not only not in good
odOr with his own section, but is a
stencil in the nostrils of the North, .
some means ought to be adopted in the
Senate by which he can be induced to
cease bis unseemly assaults upon John
Browns ghost, not to speak Of his in
decent insults to loyal men. 1t is a
little late in the day for the appearance

POLITICAL PARAGRAPHS.

B65~The Democrats seem bound to 90

ing behind them,
nay Democratic jubilation over the
final accession of the whole of Butler
does not offend the ear by its noise.
Deg~General Weaver says there will
be no Democratic candidate for the
Presidency in 1884, but that the contest
will be betweent the Republicans and the
Greenbackers.
BsS@ The Democrats will have no
Header in the next Senate, but that will
be gain for them. They would be in
better condition to-day il they had had
no leader for the'past two years. a. '-~.
B9~ There has been some talk of
new name for the Democracy. General
Deficiency party is title which seems
to meet all demands. The concern is
deficient in everything except blunders.
B1~Perhaps Barnum does not call for
an investigation of the Morey forgery
because he prefers to wait for a Repub-
lican Congress to undertake the job. He
has only to mention such a preference
to have itcomplied with. az

var Senator Butler, of South Caroli4l
ma, said not long ago that the condition
of the South would be greatly i'm
proved by a migration Of a large pro-
portion Of the negroes to other States.
He was in favor Of an exodus. The
people of his own State don't agree
with him. Evidence collected by the
Charleston NewS and Courier shows /
that there is a scarcity of negro labor
in South Carolina; that where white
labor has been introduced it has not
proved satisfactory; that the negroes
are earning higher wages now than
ever before, and that any larger migra-
ton would be great loss to the State.
Senator Butler was possibly weary of
the wear and tear of destroying the ne
gro vote on election day when he gave
his mistaken opinion.

A Negro Beats His Child to Death.

A negro named Seaborn Suber was
arrested and brought to Jail the Sd for
cruelty beating his fifteen year old
daughter. The beating occurred three
or four weeks ago; and from the ac-
counts must have been cruel in the OK
trcme. The girls grandfather says
that Seaborn stripped the girl naked
and tied her by the hands to joist in
the house where he, the grandfather, a
decrepid old man, was sleeping. While
awake the Old man heard her father
strike her two hu1sdred and eighty-fce
licks with switches and & plough line;
and be kept her tied up all night. She
was confined to her bed from the beat
ing, and bad medical attendance. She
fingered till the Sd, when she died. just
before the deputy sheriff reached the
place with the warrant. A Coroner's
inquest was held the 4th. the jury re-
turning a verdict that the girl came to
her death from the effects of the cruel
and inhuman beating inflicted by her
father.
This same negro beat son Of his
very severely three years ago, and the
boy died, from what was supposed to be
the effects Of the beating, the next day.

Cin.house Burned.

Clubhouse Burned.
The gin-house Of Mr.. D. Walter
Barre was burned down the morning
of the 4th inst. about 9 o'clock. There
was about eight bales Of cotton and 400
bushels of cotton seed in the house,
which were all consumed. The fire
soon extended to the press, where there
were fourteen bales Of packed cotton
under a shed. This cotton was rolled
out in time to save it. The press was
burned down. Mr.. Barre's loss is about
S2,000-no insurance.
The origin of the fire is not known ;
it is suspected. however, that it was in
cendiary, as there had been no one at
work in or aboutthe Clubhouse that day.
The cotton that was burned-amounting
to about ten bales-was in the seed
10000 pounds. There was also some
loose lint cotton in the lint room. The
fire caught in the lint room. When
MIR. Barre heard the alarm and went
out he first saw the fire through a cat
hole in the door of this room.

The Reroism OF Christ

Was the subject Of most excellent
sermon Sunday night by Rev. Luther
Broaddus. The preacher began by say
ing that Christ was the only person that
had the power Of choosing the time,
place and manner of his birth, life and
death. His courage was exhibited by
his being born in poverty. Poverty
was no more popular in His day than
now. Money was the ruling power
then in church, in politics and in socic-
ty, but He chose poverty because there
by he would better reach the sympathy
Of the people. II requires courage to
be poor and at the same time manly and
independent. 1t is often great temp
tation to the youth to deviate from a
path of usefulness and honesty, because
it may be path of poverty and hard
snip, and by crooked ways and cues
tionable methods to seek for riches.
His courage was further exhibited by
being poor, laboring man, a mecban-
ic-making His support by hard work,
when He could have surrounded him
self with every laxury, and could have
placed himself at the head of any Of the
learned professions.
His courage Va further exhibited by
His uncompromlsing opposition to that
which was wrong; for example. His
opposition to the Scribes and Pharisees,
who were regarded by the people as the
only authorized religious teachers of
the day, and were looked up to with
reverence and veneration.
His courage was further exhibited by
the calmness and heroism with which
He met death. If one should know that
at 4 certain day he must die, and die an
ignominious death, this knowledge
would unfit him for the ordinary duties
of life; he would take no interest in his
affairs or his work. Christ knew all
along when and how He should die,
and YET He never ceased to do His
work.
This courage was explained. 1st. by
His consciousness of the rectitude of His
own life, and, 2ndlY. by firm and
constant reliance on God.
One lesson drawn from the sermon
was, that while the Saviour was gentle
and kind and loving bis gentleness nev'
er degenerated into efeminacy; thai
the gentlcness of the purest and bes
| woman that ever blessed the earth i:
perfectly consistent with the highest
type of bravery; that brave heart i:
| always Il kind and tender heart.
Another lesson was, that if Chris
was so courageous in bearing poverty
and hardships. opposition and persecu
ton and death for our sakes, then W,
should be brave enough to stand up TO
/ Him before the world.
