THE POPULAR DEMAND.

So great has been the popular demand
for the celebrated remedy Kidney Wort
that it is having an immence sale from
Maine to California. Some have found it
inconvenient to prepare it from the dry
compound. For such the proprietors now
prepare it in liquid form. This can be
procured at the druggists. 1t has precisely
the same effect as the dry, but is very
concentrated so that the dose is much
smaller. LoUeI Mail.

TUE COST OF POST OFFICES.

A great many persons have no idea of
the cost of maintaining the postal sys-
tenn of the United States. The post Of
fee appropriation bill as reported to the
House from the committee, appropriated
$40, ,76O, ,432 and is based upon estimates
aggregating s42, ,475,932. The bill shows
an increase over last years appropria-
tions of 81 ,S67,o12. The estimated pos
tai revenue for 1882 is S3S,S45,l74 or
sl,915,25S less than the sum required to
make the postofice department self:
sustaining. The amount appropriated
for the Star Route service is 81, 900,
which is an increase of $375,000 over
last years appropriation. 1t is believed
an effort will be made in the House to
still further increase this item. This is
a good illustration of what the aggrega-
tion of small things can do. A man
never feels the three cents he puts ON
each letter as stamp, and yet the whole
of the stamps used in one year amounts
in the United States to $9S,S45.174.
This sum, however, is so distributed that
every citizen has the advantage of the
mails, and yet his postage bill is so small
that it is generally not even thought of.

The Louisville Courier-JournaI does
not take any stock in the idea that
railroad corporations have vested rights
which are supreme and beyond State
control. 1t puts the argument very
strongly in the following conclusion !:
eff the State takes the private property
of individuals and devotes it to the ser.
vice of corporations it ceases to be pri-
vate property. If, on the contrary, the
road is private property, then the State
has the same authority over it as it has
over the property Of other citizens, and
when emergencies arise it can take it
and devote it to the use Of the public" :"
Railroad corporations should be required
to deal fairly and equitably with the
people for whom they do business. Their
great privileges are given them for the
good of the pubhv, as we'll as for their
own good, and they should not be allowed
to impose upon the people in order to
enrich themselves. The Legislature has
the power to regulate corporations of its
own creation, and public sentiment should
require this right to be exercised.

Secretary Sherman, in q speech at
Columbus, Ohio, last week, said the
South was about to be developed in
wealth and population; that he had been
surprised by the returns of the census
from the South, but that new surprises
may be expected, and that he expected
ere long to see happy South, adding to
the wealth, population and energy
of the country, and contributing all
the great staples that add to our
wealth and population. If such Sec
tional haters and political demagogues
as Mr.. Sherman could be disposed of,
the South's prosperity would be greatly
enhanced. 1t is the false impressions
they have spread through the North and
West that has prevented the tide of in
dustrious immigration and capital from
coming freely to the South. We believe
that prosperity is dawning upon us, but
it is not through the help of Mr.. Sher-
man and his political friends. 1t is in
spite of them.

And Sill Another.

The Charlotte Observer of Sunday says: ::
"The fast mail, due here yesterday morn
inc from Atlanta, was wrecked three
miles east of Gaflney's, at 8 o'clock. The
accident is supposed to have resulted
from spread in the track: The train
consisted of postal a combination and
a Pullman sleeping car. All three OF
these, leaving their trucks, went down an
cmbankment twenty feet high, but ire re-
maincd upright. Three passengers, Con-
ductor John Humphrics and two train
hands were hurt, but not seriously, Con,
ductor Humphries receiving the severest
injuries. The combination car, belong
ing to the Richmond & Danville Road,
caught fire and was consumed, but the
other cars were uninjured. The engine
was drawn from the track BY the cars,
but did not go down the mbankment.
Engineer Newman escaped unhurt. The
express, also due here yesterday morning,
had l..rned out on siding at Gatfney.s
and was passed by the fast mail: This
trim arrived here at $50 last night, pre-
ceded one hour by the train due here
Yesterday afternoon. At 6 o'clock yes,

train vas on the track and all trains

the Government When be retires from
official life he should, like all of our
other Presidents, go to work as a citizen.
In our Republic the fact that a man has
held high official position should not
elevate him above work. 1t is our boast
that all men are equal in our system, and
yet it is proposed to put one man above
another in consequence of his official
position. A President ought to dignity
labor as Cincinnatus of old did by re-
turning to it when his term of service
has ended. For this reason we think it
is about time for Gen. Grants friends to
quit begging for him. He ought to go
to work, and quit expecting to be forever
deadheaded through life.

IMMIGRATION.

The people of North Carolina are
awake upon the subject of immigration.
At a recent meeting of the State Board
of Agriculture, held in Raleigh recently,
Col. A. Pope, general passenger agent of
the Atlantic Coast Line and other rail.
way lines in Virginia, North and South
Carolina and Georgia, was elected Gen
eral Immigration Agent for North Caro-.
limo. Col. Pope is q thorough business
man, and will doubtless render efficient
service in the new line Of business added
to his other duties. South Carolina has
offered very liberal inducements to i'm
migrants, and we hope our Department
of Agriculture, which meets in Columbia
this week, will put some well-devised and
practical plan in operation for inducing
immigrants to settle in our midst. South
Carolina will become more prosperous
and quiet politically when we receive
about twenty thousand additional white
citizens. As long as the negro has a con-
siderable majority of voters in the State,
it will require considerable interest in
politics and effort towards persuading the
colored voter to go with the Democratic
party 10 order to keep the State Demo
cratic. The reason for this is simply
that so long as the negro has a majority
in the State it is an inviting field for
political adventures, and their influence
and teachings are hard to be overcome
by the plain, Straightforward course of
the white people. Whenever we get a
clear white majority the problem will be
solved, and there will be no occasion for
the solicitude and interest which is now
necessary to be taken in politics every
two years. immigration is the key to the
situation, and our people should use
every effort to promote it. Not only is
immigration valuable politically, but it
will greatly enhance the material pros
perity of the State. Our neighboring
States are active in their work, and we
should not lag behind.

Pugilism in Congress.

Mr.. Stephens says tliat he has seen
forty men fighting in the House at one
time, and fighting as hard as they could
fight. l have never seen the incident in
print, and I send it to you. There was,
at one time before the war, a member OF
of the House from South Carolina whose
name was kiett. Keitt was like some
other Congressman, and like some people
who are not Congressman, fond of the
Glowing bowl" and on the day of the
Conflict dire" was indisputably drunk.
Galusha A. Grow, of Pennsylvania, was
then, as he is now, Il strong partisan, and
was at that time one Of the leaders of the
Free Soil party.
Party feeling was very high, and more
personal than it is in these piping times
of peace" Grow came over on the
Democratic side on some business, and
Keitt resented his presence, and called
him id Abolitiouist. Grow said he
had the right to 90 over there; but Keitt
said if he didn't 60 back he would make
him go; and Grow, seeing he was drunk,
said something pleasant in reply; and
Keitt, mistaking his meaning, jumped up
to strike him and fell down with great
crash.
Grow had not touched him, butts pread
like an electric shock all over the House
that Grow had knocked Kcitt down, and
without word a number of gentlemen on
each side engaged in the first actual
battle between the North and the South.
Mr.. Stephens says that be never left his
seat. In this fight no blood was spilled
except from the nose.
Mr.. Stephens says that pistols have
been fred in the House, and the old gen
tleman very clearly intimatcs that he
saw the pistol fired. There was an inves-
tigation by the House as to who shot the
pistol, but Mr.. Stephens, says: 81 said
nothing about what | saw"
believe it was at the time Of the Keitt-
Grow fight that Kcntuckian who was
outside and wanted to come in to see the
row and perhaps join in it. The door
keeper stopped the Kentuckian, who in
continently pulled out his pistol and let
drive at the doorkeeper. and missing him
shot messenger through the arm.

bine in favor of any one of them. For
instance, Senator Bruce, the colored Sen
ator from Mississippi, who has been more
prominently spoken of for cabinet po-
sition than any other colored man, is
strongly opposed in different parts of the
country. Recently the colored people
of Tennessee and Alabama have declared
for John NJ. Langston, and the colored
people of Cleveland, Ohio, have adopted
resolutions opposing Bruce. This divis-
ion would probably defeat colored man,
if one ever had any chance, though we
do not think there has ever been
any chance of any colored man being
called to the cabinet.

The colored people have very little
chance of securing representative in
General GarGeld's cabinet, for number
of reasons, prominent among which is
the fact that there are more white Re-
publicaus who want the positions than
there are Offices, and they will not near

President cannot jump his white sup
porters in order to appoint a colored
man, when the Republican party think
the 'snigger" belongs to them, and that
they will get his vote whether they treat
him right or not. Another reason why
they will not secure representative Is,
that the colored people themselves are
at cross.purposes with one another,
and tco jealous of their leaders to COM

COERCION FOR IRELAND.

Telegrams from London indicate that
the policy of the British administration
towards Ireland will be one of vigorous
coercion, if not sctive persecution. MIR.
Gladstone, the Premier, is leading in this
policy, and will, in all probability, carry
the Parliament with him. 1t is said that
the bill for the protection Of persons and
property in Ireland will much resemble
the Westmeath Act of 1871. twill en-
power the Viceroy, with the advice of
the Irish Privy Council, to declare the
districts in which the Act is to be en-.
forced. and subsequent clause will sus-
pend the writ of habsas corpus by en-
powering the Viceroy, upon reasonable
suspicion, to arrest any person deemed
an offender within the terms of the Act.
1t will also provide that persons SO arrest
ed cannot be released, tried or bailed
without an order of the Privy Council or
viceroy. Another clause will in certain
cases substitute trial before two judges
for the trial by jury. The possible sus-
pension of the writ of habeas corpus will
continue until the first of August. The
adoption of such measures as those indi-
Gated on the part of the British Govern
ment will bring the Irish troubles to an
early crisis. The Land League will
either peacefully disband or, failing to
do this, will be compelled to cease its
agitation and resistance to the oppression
of merciless landlords. The policy of
coercion may cause a conflict. 1t cer-
tainly would, and ought to do SO, if Ire
land was in condition to resist. The
Irish people are struggling for justice
aud right and liberty. In this struggle
they have the sympathies Of all free
people. The course Of the English peo-
pie towards them has always been
oppressive and tyrannical. 1t will be q
happy day for this poor people when
they shall be delivered from their op-
pressive bondage.

The Iaurens Railroad.

The Laurcns Herald is informed that a
movement is afoot to set aside the recent
sale of this road on the following
grounds:
1st. Because there was an appeal pend.
ing which contemplated the taking of
the matter out Of the hands Of Mr.. Barn
we'll, Master for Richland, SO that the
property might be sold by the Master of
this county, and the sale take place here.
I'd. Because the appeal was not with
drawn in sufficient time to give parties
concerned in the same, and affected there
by an opportunity to project their inter-
csts, the said appeal not having been
withdrawn until the very day cf sale,
and only few minutes before said prop
crtv was offered for sale.
Sd. Because the holders of Il large
amount of the bonds Of the road, who
were awaiting the result of said appeal,
will suffer pecuniary loss by the summa-
ry and unexpected withdrawal of the
same and the consequent sale OF the road.
4lh. Because inasmuch as no pubic
notice was given prior to the sale, on the
first Monday in JANUARY INST, particS
who we're awaiting the result of said
appeal, and not expecting the said sale
to take place Oh said day, were taken
wholly by surprise.
5th. Because by tie operation OF the
said syndicate, or combination, bond
holders were forced either to become
parties to the same, by selling their bonds
at whatever price might be offered, Or
take the risk of receiving only their pro
rata share from the proceeds of the sale,
which, in consequence of the very low
price for which sail property sold, would
be tie mcrest pittancc. !,

A BLACK EYE FOR a BLACK MAN

A BLACK EYE FOR a BLACK MAN.
The New York Times now says:
at is pity that the Southern Repub-
licans who called upon the President
elect few days since should have ac-
cepted as leader and spokesman that
notorious negro, R. B. Elliott, now of
South Carolina"
The same paper goes on to say with
reference to "Gene7al" Elliott
1T is high time that the Republican
party in the South rid itself of such
men as this sar,c Robert B. Elliott. He
has done more 10 bring disgrace upon it
than even the profligate Moses or the
weakling Amcs. It is true that he is a
black man of the deepest hue, but he is
not a Southern negro, and has absolutely
nothing in common with the people
whom he aims to represent. He was
born in Boston, Mass, and was educated
in England, remaining for many years in
that country. He was never heard of in
the South until after the war, and then
the chief prominence which he gained
was in connection with corrupt politics
ana QlSfcDutaOic lFallSaCliOllS III tue hS6
islature. By his great ability and supe-
rior education he might have been an
ornament, not only to his race, but to the
country. He chose rather to be a selfish
and slippery trickster. He has received
Congressional and other high honors
from the colored people of South Caro-
lima. In return, he has never lost an
opportunity of misrepresenting them.
He was appointed special agent Of the
Treasury some time before the Chicago
Convention, and earned hin pay BY ap-
pearing in that meeting for his paymas.
Ter and against the clearly expressed
wishes of his constituents. He now
seeks prominence to the end that he may
have the lions share in controlling the
Federal patronage in South Carolina.
For the sake of the party in the South
and elsewhere, it is to be hoped that he
and men like him, who are always heard
more of after elections than during the
thick of a contest, may be sent to the
rear and kept there"
Coming from truly loyal Republican
journal, the foregoing is what we call
giving very black eye to very black
man.
