- The New York SIN figures out that
the combined Republican vote, of all
compilations, musters 147 in a full House
of Representatives of the Forty-Seventh
Congress, while the combined opposition
is 145. 1t is suggested that Hon VIM.
D. Kelley or some other man may como
the Malone game over that body in
electing a Speaker.
= The New York Herald says: "Be-
fore the war slavery closed the gates of
the South to foreign immigrants. It is
question whether her blacks, now num-
bering nearly six millions and rapidly
multiplying, will not have the same
effect, at least in the near future"
When the East and West get too crowded,
population will swarm down South.
Nothing will stop it. 1t will be q Nigh

- Jake and Lum Harris, white, killed
mulatto named Edward Bridges on
Thursday, March II, about six miles west
of Gaffney City, in Spartanburg County.
The difficulty arose from Bridges being too
intimate with sister Of the Messrs. Har-
ris. Bridges went to the field where the
Messrs. Harris were at work and pro-
voked o dispute. The latter have not
tried to escape, and express their will
ingness to await the decision of the law.

crate leaders, is now president of the
Arkansas Industrial University, at Fay.
etteville, in that State, az a salary of
S., 900 a year. He told reporter the
other day that the war seemed far back
in history to him. "His form is erect, :"
says the reporter; 'his dark blue eyes
sparkle as brightly as ever, and the only
trace which time has left upon him is to
change the color of his hair from black
to iron gray"
- The farmers of Canada are scarcely
less astute in money. making devices than
the Yankee peddlers whose wooden nut
megs have become historic The latest
device, which is reported to be getting
alarmingly common in some parts of the
dominion, is the preparation and sale Of
galvanized" butter. This interesting
article of merchandise is made in rolls,
the outsides of which are of the primest
product of the dairy plastered on in thin
layers over huge Jumps of lard, sleeps
fat, &C., of the poorest quality.
"A Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia Times gives names, places
and dates to prove that ex.President
Hayes did drink wine, brandy and whis-
key, and that Mrs. Hayes accepted q
present of case of the latter beverage.
The statement was elected by the claim
of a minister that the Hayes were teeto-
talers.
- We learn from a private source
that the notorious Henry Sparnick, who
used the position of Judge of Probate
under Radical rule to plunder the Wild
ows and orphans of Aiken County, is
now engaged in business in Chicago.
Sparnick was man of brains and educa-
tion, but was actually one of the vilest of
the Infamous gang who held high carni-
val in crime during the Radical regime.
A sealed sentence awaits him in the
Clerk of the Courts Office for misappro-
priation of the funds of the Probate
Office, which will be opened whenever he
makes it convenient to visit South Caro-
lina.-Aiken Journal.
= Murat Halstead, who is now in
Washington, tells correspondent how
Abraham Lincoln when President set
tied q controversy over postmastership.
Two men were in the field for the officer
Petition after petition, delegation after
delegation hastened to Washington. The
two seemed to be equally qualified for the
place. Finally the patience of Mr.. Lin.
coin gave out and he said to his secretary ::
"This matter has got to end somehow.
Bring pair of scales" The scales were
brought. "Now put in all the petitions
and letters in favor of one man and see
how much they weigh, and then weigh
the other fellows pile" 1twas found that
one bundle was three.quarters ofa pound
heavier than the other. MAKE out an
appointment at once for the man who
has the heaviest papers," said Mr.. Lin
coin, and it was done.
"A Washington letter says: "Presi-
dent Garfield is having, in one sense, n
much more agreeable experience than
his immediate predecessor in Office.
During the entire term of MIR. Hayes
there were number of Republican sem
ators and members who never called at
the White House at all, and there were
no Democratic senators or members who
called, except a few from the South who
wanted office for their friends. There
were not few who never even would
accept the formal evening invitations
to the White House, and it is certain
that there was not one day of Mr.. Hayes
soiourn in the White House that his
disputed right of tenure of Office did not
fling its shadow across his path. But
the new President, who has always been
personally one Of the most popular pub
lie men who ever came to Washington, is
called upon daily by the most distin.
guished of the Democrats, and many of
them with no axes to grind, but simply
to testify their respect and regard."
