KING Louis of Bavaria has shown
unmistakable signs of insanity. Lat
terly he has taken to drink. No one
dares approach him VIII lie he is at table.
Though afflicted with constant insom-
mia he has grown so fat and coarse that
he can hardly walk, and is a most un-
recognizable. He has not cut his hair
for months, and altogether looks more
pitiable than the most wretched beggar
in Bavaria. The Bavarian Princes have
resolved to propose the deposition of
the King and the appointment of re-
gent.

the Count, who was too shrewd to be
caught, and left the So allied Mr.. Bay

Hon. EDWARDS PIERREPoNT tells
an interviewer: AZ am believer in
bimetallism. When / was Minister
TO England I paid much attention to
the question. L had in that country
exceptional opportunities for observing
the effect of monometallsm, or of having
gold alone as standard of value and
basis of currency. L visited France
frequently, and in that country studied
the effect of bimetallism. Ny observa-
tons satisfied me that the only reason
why any man in the United States OPP
poses bimetallism is because he lacks
information on the subject"

THE magnificent Castle of Windsor
was built by Edward III. (1327-l31O,

may serve as a specimen of the condition

he assessed every county in England to

Since Mr.. Keller's correction. as to
our confusion in making mention OF
our attendance at the ward meeting in
Monrt on last Thursday night is not
sufficient for Bro. Gayle, we desire 10
say that the only mistake made ip
our statement was simply in the
wards, which should have been the
Second instead of the Third. Our error
was unintenti0nal and was not intend
ed TO csst any reflection on the good
people ofthe Third Ward lin which
our friend Gayle lives,) whatever, aud
at the same time our remarks were
not uncomplimentary to any particus
ular person in the Second Ward, but
we do say that the Convention for
while was exceedingly boisterous, and
that there was considerable .wrangling
aud the use of many harsh words, but
the convention finally settled down to
work and nominated two gentlemen
whose characters for honesty and in.
tegrity are above reproach, and fer
whom we have the kindest feelings.

execution issued on the 22d of February, from
the obligation Of which the debtor sought to
escape on the ground that the date IN enlioned

like Sunday, could not be lawfully used for the
transaction Of business. Judge Woodward
ruled that statute ordaining a legal holiday is
merely directory, not imperative, and that il
does not prohibit judicial acts or worldly enjoy.

The Sad Death Of Z. H. Bobo.

On Saturday last the news reached here that
Hon. l.. IL. Bobo, Senator from Spartanburc
County, had been thrown from his buggy and
seriously injured in the head, and great anxiety
was felt throughout this community as to the
result. On Tuesday the sad news was received
that the accident had terminated fatally Mt
about o'clock that morning.
MIR. Bobo was well known here and highly
respected by all, aud the sad news of his un-
timely death sent a thrill of sincere sorrow TO
every heart. We cannot more fully express
our own feelings and we believe the feelings Of
all our citizens, than by republishing the fol-
lowing graceful and just tribute to his great
worth, which we take from the Columbia Reoi,.
ter:
Senator Bobo was about in his fftieth wear.
lie has represented his native County for some
years, either in the one house or the other of
the Legislature.
He was on able, honest man. A LAWYER of
learning; he had q remarkable copency of
thought which always indicate the honest MS
we'll as the powerful thinker. The death of
this hone red, useful, faithful citizen will be n
great loss to his County, his State, aud to the
Methodist Church, of which he had been, like
MS noble old father one of the pillars. And
bereft Of him as they are in the midst of career
Oh distinguished usefulness, the blow is as ter
riole as IT is sudden. Yet they have the COM
fort that he has not lived in vain and that taken
as he has been almost without q moments war
ning, he has nevertheless gone to his last ac-
count not as one without hope. Alb! the un-
spcakaole blessing which Christian wife and
family can never fail TO feel comfort in, however
crushed and overwhelmed their stricken hearts
may be.

asa. In all our editorial expericncewe have
never received so many complaints from sub
scribers about not receiving their paper as we
have the last three months We cannot find
out where the fault is. We know n regular
amount of paper is prepared, and after the
papers are mailed about certain number are
left over so that it does not look likely that the
fault is with us. Again, many complain that
they get their papers very irregularly-vary-
ing from three TO four days.
1t is our aim, as we'll as our interest, to mail
every paper regularly, but wo do not presume
to be infallible, and we may sometimes overlook
a name in directing, but we cannot think that
is the case SO frequently as the complaints are
made Will Postmasters be kind enough to
forward and deliver our paper carefully and
promptly.
