J. F. Hobbs.

J. F. Hobbs.
The Columbia correspondent Of the
NeaUS and Courier thus writes to his pa
per concerning Jno. F. Hobbs, whose
headquarters are now in Columbia {:
There were those who predicted last
fall when John F. Hobbs announced
his "independent' candidacy for the
Solicitorship of this Circuit that he
would within year be evolved into a
Radical. He at that time averred that
his Democracy was unsurpassable and
unimpeachable. Those who so pre-
dicted are surprised to-day at the sud-
den fulfillment of their prophecy, when
they see this unimpeachable Democrat
endeavoring 10 renew the rusty chains
which have fallen from the State, and
bis daily association and dallying with
the dirtiest and most uuprincipled of
the negro politicians with whom the
State is vet unhappily afflicted. 1t is
said that these accusations which Hobbs
is connecting have been in several in
stances signed by one set of negroes as
witnesses, and that when the Democrats
have appeared for examination another
set of sable affiants have appeared in
their stead and sworn precisely to the
same effect. 1t is also said that there
is such a sameness in the charges as to
lead to the belief that they are made
wholesale and afterwards filled in with
the names of the offenders as they may
happen to turn up. Of course an oblig-
ing colored friend, having been posted,
would not object to testify of his own
knowledge as to the truth of these
charges.
And so it goes. Mr.. Hobbs is credit
ed with An ambition to secure fat
place under Garfeld's administration,
and his present offices arc believed to
tend to that result"

Troubles in the Church.

The members of the colored Baptist
Church in town are split up into TIVE
factions. For some reason large ma
jority of the male members of the
Church are opposed to the Pastor, Rev.
Ira Lewis, and want to get him out;
the majority of the female members are
on the pastors side. These troubles
have been going on for some time. Ira
declares most positively that nobody
shall preach ia that pulpit but himself;
his opponents are equally as determined
rs he. A week or two ago he turned
out" eight or ten Of his most prominent
opponents, Con the ground of forgery or
something of the sorD without giving
them trial or any sort of a showing.
These excommunicated members pre-
vailed on several leading white Bap-
fists to attend the meeting Sunday af-
ternoon at the colo1ed church to see
that justice was done and to use their
influence in bringing about peace and
harmony. Col. J. r. Leavell, Mr.. W.
T. Wright, Rev. Luther Broaddus and
Nj ames Packer attended. Ira Lew
is preached a sermon, and everything
moved smoothly till after he had finish
ed, when some one called for church
meeting. Then the trouble began;
Lewis friends said there should be no
meeting, and things got lively. Some
body called on Col. Leavell to act as
Moderator; but he replied that he
couldn't undertake to moderate that
crowd. Whenever any Of Lewis op-
ponents would get up to say something
the female admirers of the pastor would
strike up Hold the Fort'' and drown
their remarks. 1tappeared that the two
factions would come to blows, when
Mr.. Packer, who is peace officer, COM
manded the peace; the congregation
then dispersed. Monday the Rev. Ira
Lewis and several OF his followers went
before Trial Justice Fair and swore out
warrants against thirteen of the leaders
on the other side charging them with
riot Sunday afternoon. And thus the
matter got into Court, and therefore it
got into the paper.
The prosecutors went to the Trial
Justice this morning and withdrew the
charges.

A Distressing Accident.

Mrs. Nancy Wicker met with pain
full accident Thursday morning. While
standing by the hearth her dress caught
on fire and she was soon enveloped in
flames. She rushed into the cook
room where Der colored cook was,
and she extinguished the flames with a
bucket of water. Mrs. Wicker was Sc
verely burned about the face and bead,
and one of her hands was burned so
badly that it will hardly be Of much
more use to her. For several days it
was thought that her condition was
hopeless, but she appears now to be
improving.

THE SUN FOR 1881.

Everybody reads THE Sun. In the editions
Of this paper throughout the year to come
everybody will find:
I. Al the worlds news, so presented that
the reader will get the greatest amount OF
information with the least Improbable ex-
penditure Of time and eyesight- The sun
long ago discovered the golden mean be.
tween redundant tulness and unsatisfactory
brevity.
II. Much of that sort of news which de-
pends less upon its recognized importance
than upon It's interest OF mankind. From
morning to morning THE Sun prints con-
tinued story of the lives of real men and
women, and of their deeds, plans, loves,
varied and more interesting than any ro-
nance that was ever devised.
III. Good writing in every column, and
freshness, originality, accuracy: and deco
rum in the treatment of every subject.
". Honest comment. The SUNS habit is
to speak out feallessly about men and
things.
V.Equal candor in dealing with each po-
itical party, and equal readiness to COM
mend what is praiseworthy or to rebuke
what is blamable in Democrat or Republi-
can.
VI. Absolute independence Of partisan
organizations, but unwavering LOYALTY to
true Democratic principles. The Sun be-
lieves that the Government which the Con-
stltution gives US is a good one to keep.
It's notion of duty is to resist TO its utmost
power the efforts of men in the Republican
party to set up another form OF govern
ment in place of that which exists. The
year 1851 and the years Immediately fol-
lowing will:probably decide this supremely
| important contest. THE Sun believes that
| the victory will be with the people as
| against the Rings for monopoly, the Rings
| for plunder, and the Rings for Imperial pow
| er.
Our terms are as follows:
For the Daily Sun, four-paSe, sheet OF
| twenty-eight columns. the price BY mail,
| post paid, is IS cents month, or $3.50 g.
year; or including the Sunday paper, an
eight-page sheet Of f1fty-si1 columns, the
price is IS cents month, or $40 year,
| postage paid.
The Sunday edition Of THF Sun is also
furnished separately at sL2o year postage
paid.
The pr7ce of the WEEKLY Sun, eight pages,
itty-six columns, is 81 year. postage paid.
| For clubs often sending $40 we will send an
extra copy free.
