DR.. J. F. Ensor. formerly the perintcndcnt
OF the Lunato Asylum in this State paid us
visit this week lie is stopping at Bicmanns 8
hotel and is connected with the Internal Reve :
nuc service in this department. DR.. Ensor,
although Republican, is nevertheless gen
tlcman and echolar and during his connection
with the Lunatic Asylum managed ts affairs
satisfactorily and with signal ability aud success.
lie was one of the few Republicans in office in
South Carolina during tho dirk days of Radical
rule who came out without having his good namc
tarnished and blurred and indicted for high
crimes in office. If all the Federal Offices in the

DR.. Ensor deserves better place at The hands
of the Government than the one he now occupies
