AT a wedding in Pennsylvania last week one
of the guests was killed because he failed to
contribute what was regarded as his share of
money to aid in defraying the expenses of the
festivities. If a man is liable to be put to death
for neglecting to give wedding presents, a large
number of citizens may be expected to move
West before the spring marriage season opens.

ACCORDING to an evening paper the superin-
tendent of the Boys Reform School is hunting for
a female cook for that institution who is sufi-
GENTLY accomplished ''to be able to perceive and
yet not seem to perceive the amatOry advances
made to her by the boys. The reason for this
not strictly culinary requirement is not made
clear. but it may be supposed that the cook is not
to seem to perceive a boy in the act of making
love to her until he comes so near that she can
nit him with a rolling pin or p-otato-masher. If
this sly and deceitful cook cannot be found, how
would it do for the superintendent to hunt an
elderly woman, with a face homely enough to
stop a clock, and who would be required to at
tend strictly to her c~ookingl To such a one her
face would be her fortune-in a reform school

Chicago Chosen.

WASHINGTON, February 22.-The
Democratic National Committee met
here to-day and selected Chicago, July
9Th, as the place and date of holding the
National Democratic Convention. The
following call was presented by the Exec
utive Committee and agreed upon:
"The National Democratic Committee,
having met in the city of Washington on
the 22d day of February, 1854, has ap-
pointed Tuesday, the Sth day of July
next, at noon, as the time and has chosen
the city of Chicago as the place of hold
ing the National Democratic Convention,
Each State is entitled to representation
therein equal to double the number Of
Senators and Representatives in the
Congress of the United States The
Democrats of each organized Territory
and the District of Columbia are invited
to send two delegates, subject to the de.
cision of the Convention as to their ad-
mission. All Democrats, conservative
citizens of the United States irrespective
of past political associations and differ.
ences, who are in unity with US in the
effort for pure, economical and constitu.
tional government, are cordially invited
to join in sending delegates to the COLI
vention."

The action Of the National Democrat
&c Executive Committee in selecting
Chicago as the place Of meeting for the
next National Democratic Nominating
Convention is victory for the conserva.
tive element of the party, and indicates
{ that the Committee are not favorable
TO any extreme departure in the ap.
preaching canvass. This spirit is un.
doubtedly the safe one for the party. AS
the Electoral College stands to-day, we
can elect the President with the Southern
States and New York and Indiana.
The canvass which will carry these
States will also carry New jersey and
Connecticut. This would give us safe
majority, and is, in our opinion, the
policy for the party if it wishes success.
The talk about carrying Iowa, Illinois,
Michigan, Wisconsin and Nebraska, is
very pretty on paper, but it is worse than
futile. Those States have not voted for
Democratic candidate for President in
twenty-five years, and there is absolutely
no data to assure the party that they can
now be even hoped for The canvass
will be lost in advance if the old Demo-
cratic States are thrown away to take up
these new Western schemes. New York,
New Jersey, Connecticut, Indiana, Ohio,
California and oregan, are the debatable
States. If We wish to elect President,
we must look to them for about sixty
zvotes

The New Court House.

EDITOR INTELLIGENcER: Please al
low me space in your paper to give my
views upon the question of removal Of
the Court House at Anderson which is
now being discussed. In my opinion, 1t
is not wise to pull down the present
Court House and sell the square as is
proposed, for I think the building is now
in the right place.
Anderson is the most conveniently ar
ranged of any court House town with
which I am acquainted. Here the
principal business houses are around the
square convenient to the Court House.
Farmers can carry their cotton to the
city and sell it on the square without any
trouble, and while their wagon is carry
ing it to the depot attend to any business
in the public offices and be ready to re-
turn home in short time. Again, while
Court is in session those having business
Z in Court can attend to- business in the
stores and yet remain in hearing of the
crier's call. If they should sell the
grounds around the Court House, where
would people from the country stand
their teams and vehicles when they come
to town on business? Those who have
visited Walhalla cannot have failed to
notice the inconvenience of having the
business part Of the town in one place
and the Court House in another.
/ admit the Court House and its Off
ces are too small for the accommodation
of the business of the County, but this
can be remedied by enlarging the present
building-say add thirty feet to the East
end of the building. 1t is said that the
present building and ground would
bring enough money to build new
Court House, but I do not think it would
bring half enough, though l am not
acquainted with the value of property in
the city. Our County is now in debt
our expenses being over 100000 per
wear, and therefore, / think the Commis-
sioners shoud consider this matter care
fully before they act I hope the ques-
tion will be discussed by others who are
interested in the matter. / am in favor
of any policy which will promote the
welfare of the County. We have the
name of the banner County. I like the
name and hope we will act so as to keep
t. G. w. MARET.

Proba bic Murder in Cheraw.

CHERAw, S. c., Feb. 24.-On Satur.
day afternoon w. B. Cash, son of Col.
E. B. G. Cash, came into town, and after
remaining about two hours walked up to
the peace officer, who was sitting on a
dry roods box at the corner OF G. A.
Brooks store. Passing him few PAGES,
Cash wheeled round aud fired three shots
in quick succession from 3S calibre
Smith & Wesson shooter, the first ball
hitting bystander, Mr.. James Coward,
and shooting him through the lungs ;
the second shot took effect in the mar
shai's left lung, and as he fell Cash fired
another shot, but missed. DR.. G.. Kol-
lock, who was called in, pronounced both
wounds dangerous, though not necessari.
ly fatal. Immediately after firing the
shots Cash jumped on his horse, which
was near, and made his escape.
A warrant was issued on Saturday, in
few minutes after the shooting took
place, for the arrest of w. B. Cash, he
being charged with assault and battery
with intent to kill w. II. Richards, who
was town marshal, and James Coward, a
bystandez. The warrant was first placed
in the hands of the constable, but upon
second consideration by the proper au.
thorities and the Trial Justice who had
issued the warrant it was deemed best to
place the warrant in the hands Of the
Sheriff for execution. Sheriff P. +.

twelve miles from the scene of the affray,

y The attitude Of the German govern
ment towards the United States is becom-
ing decidedly unpleasant. Not only is
Congress treated with contempt by the
German Chancellor, but our government
is put at defiance by the disregard OF
Germany for the rights Of our citizens.
Under the naturalization laws citizens OF
other countries who emigrate to America
can be made citizens Of the United States,
and quite q number of Germans have
come to this country and become adop'
ted citizens. It is now stated that In
numerous instances, where these citizens
have returned to visit their fatherland,
!. they have been impressed by the German
government and made to serve in lts
armies. This, of course, Isl violation ion OF
all international Law: It is an outrage
upon our country which should be inyes,
! tigated, and if true retaliatory measures
should be established. The dignity OF
our government requires it.

Immediately afterwards heard cries for
help, and some one rushed into the room
