NEW -Inefo Is now under
contract the building of new bridge
across Saluda River at or near the
Blythe old place, and thero is a pcti>
tion circulating asking the commits
sioners to receive private bridge near
Fosters as a public bridge, and another
bridge to be built near Mrs. Ponder's
iP to be let out next Saturday. Those
with those now established, will make
nine public bridges over Saluda river
in this County. In the opinion of
somo of our citizens, these arc entire
too many to require tho public to keep
up, when four, they say, would an
swer all the demands of the public.

FOR RESTORING GRAY HAIR TO ITS
NATURAL VITALITY AND COLOR,

1T is most agreeable dressing, which
Is at once harmless and cficctual for pre-
serving the hair. 1t restores, with the
gloss and freshness of youth, faded or gray
light, and red hair, to q rich brown, or deep
black, as may be desired. BY its use thin
hair is thickened and badness often
though not always cured. 1t checks falling
of the hair Immediately, and causes new
growth in all cases where the glands are
not decayed; while to brashy, weak, or
otherwise diseased hair, it imparts vitality
and strength, and renders it pliable.
The VIGoR cleanses the scalp, cures and
prevents the formation Of dandruff; and,
by its cooling, stimulating, and soothing
properties, it heals most if not all of the
humors and diseases peculiar to the scalp,
keeping it cool, clean, and soft, under
which conditions diseases of the scalp and
hair are impossible.
AS Dressing for Ladies' Hair
The VIGoR is incompatible. It is color
less, contains neither oil nor dye, and will
not soil white cambria. It imparts an
agreeable and lasting perfume, and as an
article for the toilet it is economical and
unsurpassed in its excellence.

A dispatch from Charlotte c. H., Va,
says: "wednesday evening white woman
went into John Demp's house, in Chicken
town, Charlotte county, and asked to stay 3.
day or two. She seemed to have plenty OF
money. Demp had only one good chamber
in the house and told her she could occupy
that He accordingly put her in there, CIV
ing her bed by the side of his wife's bed;
Demp seeing that she had money, determined
to murder her, and last night he crept into
the room armed with an axe. 1t seems that
his wife and the other woman had changed
beds during the night. Demp went to the
bed which he supposed the guest occupied
He could only distinguish the outlines of the
figure and he dealt it two murderous blows
with the axe. The noise woke the sleeper
in the other bed, and the man discovered by
| her screams that he had murdered his own
wife. He fled from the room, and, fortunate,
ly for her safety, the other woman quilted
the house. Demp returned late, carried the
body of his wife into clump of woods neal
by and buried it by the light of torch. he
then went back and was engaged in burning
the bed sheets when he was arrested.

race for marshal in favor of T. B. Johnston,
of Sumter, who has agreed to give all his sup.
port to Taft for collector of the port. Ac.
cording to the plan at first proposed, john
ston was to make the race for collector, but
he wanted to be. marshal and would not sac
rifce his preferences, and forced Taft to re-
tire. Dent, the ex.sheriff of Richland county,
Liberal Republican, is said to be candi
date for marshal. Mr.. John Agnew, of Co.
lumbia, also, has his eye, it is said, on the
marshalship, but he has no backing that any
one has heard of, and seems to be running
only on his own merits. Ostendroff, the ex-
clerk of the court, is in the race for postmas'

poison him, and that he went to Orange
Isaacs, who is claimed to be root doctor,
and told him of it, Orange said that he
also had grudge against Davis, and that he
had the power of wAchcraft and could admin
lister certain medicine that would free him
of all responsibility for his acts, and proposed
to johnson to give him charm and take
one himself and kill Davis. johnson agreed
to take the charm and obey all instructions.
Orange then told him to obtain gun and
bring it to him, which he did. Orange then
sent him to the road with orders to knock on
the fence when Davis passed. At II o'clock
NJ. last Saturday, johnson gave the signal and
Orange came to the road with his gun. They
followed him to pine thicket, and Orange,
having approached to within ten yards OF

head, killing him instantly. Orange then

up with pine straw, and went about his busi

PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS.

In the Senate on the 7th, Mr.. Cameron,
of Pennsylvania, presented remonstrance
from the Association of National Banks of
Eastern Pennsylvania against the passage
of the House funding bill. On motion of
Mr. Morgan, Senators Hamlin and Thurman
were appointed tellers for the Senate in the
electoral count meeting. General Butler
then spoke at considerable length upon the
alleged census frauds in South Carolina, and
criticized severely speeches made by certain
stump orator understood to be Conkling) in
New York, during the late Presidential cam
paign, in which that stump orator insulted
and villi6ed the people of South Carolina
and accused them of a conspiracy to traudu-
lently increase the census enumeration in
order to obtain greater political power. The
falsity and baseness of the accusation, Mr.
Butler said, were shown by the results of the
recent remuneration under the direction of
General Walker, who was Republican and
also gentleman. At the conclusion of Mr..
Buffers remarks, Mr. Conkliug said he infer
red from the little he had heard of the gentle
mans speech, that it was designed as an at
tack upon himself, and he had only to say
that the vaporing of the Senator from South
Carolina gave him little concern. If he had
done any injustice to the people of South
Carolina he would find seasonable occasion
to correct it. Mr.. Butler-"The Senator has
said that the vaporings of the Senator from
South Carolina are matters of no concern to
him. He will pardon me for saying that the
staggering insolence of the Senator from New
York is of no concern to me-" Mr.. Conk-
ling-"I do not need to have heard the Sena-
tor in order to ascertain that he is person
with whom I do not choose to handy epithets,
here or elsewhere, least of all here; and,

BUTLER AND CONKLING.

Under date of the 7th instant, the Wash
ington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun,
gives the following version of the spat which
occurred in the Senate on that day between
Senator's Butler and Conkling, briefly re.
ferred to in the Congressional proceedings:
Senators Butler and Conkling were to-day
the parties to the first personal debate that
has disturbed the quiet progress of the present
session. The South Carolina Senator, in q
speech upon the alleged census frauds in
South Carolina, referred freely and unspar-
ingly to Senator Conkling in having made in
stump speeches, during the late canvass,
false and malignant assaults upon the South
ern people in connection with the topic of his
speech. Mr.. ConkliDg was apparently much
occupied with correspondence during Senator
Buffers speech. At its close, he arose de.
liberately, and disclaimiDg any purpose to
misrepresent or to injure any State or the
people of any State, be proclaimed in char
acteristic phrase and manner his contempt
for what he designated the "vaporings of the
Senator from South Carolina" Mr.. Butler

PORTABLE STEAM ENGINE.

Those interested in steam engines, are adj.
vised to call at tho warehouse of Mr.. T. s.
Jefferys, of this place and inspect the porta.
bic Tanner engine which he has on exhibi.
ton. Aside from the substantial manner in
which it is built, this engine possesses sever
al points of excellence over other engines,
an important one of which is its absolute
safety from damage by sparks, being provided
with an entirely new arrangement for extin-
gushing sparks with water while yet in the
smoke stack, after which they can be re-
moved from receptacle beneath the smoke
stack into which they fall. For farm and
agricultural purposes, this is very important
consideration. Mr.. Jefferys will be pleased
to show this engine to any one comtempla.
ting purchase. II is his purpose to have
always in stock one or more engines, so that
purchaser may be supplied at once and
without delay. Since the war he has sold
about twenty engines in this county, besides
doing much in the way of introducing i'm
proved and labor.saviug agricultural imple'
ments of Ill kinds among the farmers of York.
In this enterprise we are glad to know thas
he has met with reasonable success-not
alone because success was deserving, but it
speaks well for the enterprise and inteli.
gence of our farmers. As they adopt ma
chinery and labor-saving implements in the
prosecution of their work, in the same ratio
will success and prosperity attend their efforts.
Mr.. Je1erys represents the manufacturers Of
almost every stclass farming implement,
and from him they can be procured on as
favorable terms as direct from the makers.

the iron for which has been bought and
shipped, but at last accounts was detained in
