We notice that the death Of thls
gentleman, aud once q very poor
boy, Is announced. alive Oak
George" rs he was called, was q
Stalwart In work in his day. Ne
was = carpenter by trade and soon
began 10 build up and speculate In
New York city. He accumulated
large fortune and his steamboats, and
steamships brought him regular
income. The history Of this man
Is worthy the thought Of every boy
In the land. George Law had no
education to speak of. All he had
he caught as he went along in the
world. Thurlow Weed, remarkiag
on the death of this gentleman, said
that George Law, Dean Richmond
and Commodore Vanderbilt could
not have passed q competitive ex-
animation for the berth Of nigh,
watchman in the Custom House, or
: letter carrier in the post Office. he
had pres erved letters from ell three
In which not single word Of three
syllables Is spelled In the uszal manner
He might have added the names ol
Isaac Newton, Daniel Drew, Jim
Fisks and others 10 this class We
doubt whether the three named could
write letters except perhaps Fiske
In 1Sk9 or 60-there were Two very
llne steamboats, built in New York
city. One was named ''The Atlantic, !"
the other "Oregon." These were
By far the finest boats Of their day.
The ''Oregon'' was built ky Georgt
Law. In their trial race dewn th'
bay and back, the "0regcn" led tn,
"Atlantic," making in those day
che remarkable speed Of tweut,
miles an hour. This was when NO
one In thousand who saw 1t coulC
cell what4he word Oregon referred to
The tAtlantic" was lost on Fisher
Island In Long Island Sound; th,
tOregon' became floating palace OF
The Hudson. How is Il that nine
tenths Of our weallhiest men wert
poor uneducated boys. Let the boy
answer.

IT Is pity that Arthur has not
managed to make up his mind at an
earlier date respecting the appoint
ment of his Cabinet. Is must involve
. fearful wear and tear of mind to the
several candidates and their hangers
on to endure so much suspense and
for so long. This is especially hard on
them, for it entails terrible drafts on
thsir mental capital, of which, though
generally impeounious, they have evsn
less at their disposal than money.

Next to "what will we do With
our boys? or, what will the boys do
with rs? comes this question-what
will become Of the lawyers. All
over the country the number is rapid
Iy increasing, while the legal business
has almost gone to seed. There are
perhaps five lawyers where there
should be but one, If all depend on
the profession for q lucrative living.
In other States it is the same thing
Connecticut is doing without them.
The fraternity are in a state Of
chronic discomfort there. In Hart
ford the Supreme Court is begging
for something to do. A few years
ago an attorney was fortunate to get
= case tried in that court In four or
Ave years. What will the lawyers
do with US now that they are about
to do without US.

The Trial Of Guiteau.

On tho second day Of his trial, a iury Of
twelve was obtained without much dificultv
1t is stated that tho jury ia mado up Of tho
very best citizens of Washington. Mr.
Blaine. Secretary Of State. was the first Wit.
mesa called by the prosecution. lie was with
the President when he was shot and gave Tho
facts of the case. On his crosa examination
MIR. Scoville required him to give full 40
count of the differences in the Republican
party as they then existed. This he did in
good taste and very satisfactorily. Since q
largo number of witnesses have been exam,
ined BY the prosecution. proving all tho facts
Of tho case, the conduct Of the prisoner. &c.
During the trial tho conduct of Guiteau boa
been remarkable. lie will talk in q rouoh
manner. not only to his lawyers, but to the
Court. The Judge threatened repeatedly 10
havo him taken from the room, but the effsc.
Of these admonitions 10 soon lost on tho
prisoner.
On the 10Th, as Guitoau was being removed
from the Court room to tho Jail, man on
horseback fired at him with pistol, wound.
iog him slightly on tho wrist. A man by the
name of Jones has been arrested az tho
offender. This is twice Guitoau has been
fired at since he killed the President, but he
has escaped-thus fur.

The Immigration Business.

Wo have received small pamphlet Of
sixteen pages, by Mr.. L. NJ. Boykin, Super.
intendent of Immigration. This production
10 intended to induce imm migration from
Europe to South Carolina and has been
printed in both English and German. Tho
description of the State is very suporficiol
and We think will do more harm than good
There is map of the State attached to tho
pamphlet, printed by Wm. Sloane. A Wow
OF this map will give our readers n fair dc.
scripton of the whole thing. Nowhere arc
the counties Of Oconee, Pickens, Aiken and
Hampton to be found; but we fnd tho "Dis.
tr'cts" out Of which they havo been made
Neither is the Air Limo Railroad to be fonnd
on this ancient map. OF course the pam
phlet did not cost much and we do not object
to It on that account, We object to it be
cauae correct description Of tho State is no.
made, and which, if published and circulated
abroad, would further the ubects in view.
We do not want the Bureau of Immigration
diabanded. but the manner in which il has
becn conducted By Mr. Buykin il disorodit-
able to the State. This publication ought to
be suppressed at once.

Ingloriously Beaten.

Moro than one good thing was accom-
plished at the recent election in New York
The most desirable thing done was the defeat
OF the Tammany bosses ard tho Irving hall
crowd. Tho county Democracy Of tho city,
organized ae the party 10 elsewhere in the
State, was successful in its encounters with
these factions Of the party, and we trust
will continue to be successful hereafter.
But the incident we desired to mention is
this: Wm. w. Actor, near relative Of
John Jacob Astor, ono OF the wealthiest
families Of New York, was a candidate for
Congress. Like Guiteau, he was "Stal,
wart Of the Stalwarta." lie was n candidate
to succeed Mr.. Morton, moderate Republi
can. Mr.. Astor resorted to his wealth for
success. lie visited the bar-rooms and lett
his gold eagles on tho counters, whether they
were all expended for drinks or not. The
San says he purchased suit Of clothes to
eleotioneer In and wore them until the eleo~
tion was over. lie also attended balls
of all olasses and danced with the girls. II
10 estimated that Mr.. Astor spent $50, 900
and was defeated. Mr.. Flower. the candi-
date Of the Democratic party, was man Of
tho people, made speeches during the cam
paign. refused to spend his money for votes
and was elected by 5000 majority.
This is a valuable lesson, not only to Mr..
Astor, but others of his kind throughout the
conutry. His money did not avail him,
neither did his family influence" save him.
Not only are the people declaring war
against the bosses and halls Of the country,
bat they aro setting their faces sternly
against the use of money and family in
Auenoe in elections. In elections. the Demo.
oratio idea 10, that every "tub should stand on
its own bottom"
