Our contemporary, tho Seneca Free Press,
in it's last issue voiced 10 doubt the scnti-
mrnt of tho good people Of our noighbor
concerning tho appointment of w. j..
Thomas, colored, as census enumerator
of Seneca District No. I. Wc heartily
concur in tho views of our cotemporary
and sympathisc with those who have to
"knucklo" to the whims of Republican
politicians, who make just enough official
use of the negro to use him as cats
paw. And they arc particular to givo
him only tho crumbs from their table
which happen to fall within Southern
territory. For instance some little posi-
tions rs postmastors OF census cnumcra-
tors arc thrown out as bread upon tho
waters, and rs q result the whole bust
ness has just enough of dirt to mako it
loatlisOmc.

by 20 to TO- There wore other amusc-
mcnts as usual on these occasions. At

a scmi-rcligious controversy has sprung
up between tho Rock Hill Herald and tho
Southern Christian 1do0c0tc. Tho Her.
d'd few weeks ago saw proper to oriti-
else tho low vulgarity and blackguardism
of Rev. Sam Jones, when conducting his
revival services In tho city of Charlotte.
The Adcocdte two weeks ago took the
Hcraid to task and proceeded to admin
istcr personal "basting," unequallcd in
personal abuse and vilincation by any
thing we have ever seen in tho columns
of cvcn q secular journal, much less j.,
ono profcssctly religious. We cannot
believe that tho editor Of this strong and
justly influential religious journal was
the author of this scurrilous article.
Flo was absent at the time in attendance
in the General Conference in ST. Louis.
The Hcra'l last week replied In such n
fair and courteous manner as to cheap
Goals of ire on tho head" of his critic,
or rather his malignor. Wo cannot but
commcndtho course Of tho Hcrald from
first to last.
