The Intelligencer starts well, and Mr. being an able man and well furnished writer we see no reason why his paper should not succeed. It is deserving of a liberal patronage. On the 6th inst., Hon. T.

Mr. brought the Reflector a letter written above his own and asked to published it. Of course we did so ; and had Mr. Ashe done likewise his would have been published also.

Another very interesting about Greenville years ago, writ- ten by a gentleman now living in Texas, appears in the Reflector to- day. These letters are a pleasure not only to the now few old citizens of the town who lit ed here ago and to whom the days written about are familiar, but also to the younger citizens who can look back and see what advancement Greenville has made. I the law allows for the simple sake of letting the correspondence with the department pass through his attorney's hands Then it is usually necessary to apply to some Justice the Peace or poor local lawyer to have tho affidavits of witnesses drawn, who charges specially for such occasion what he could do for nothing, if the Washington lawyer hold the case. The age of the Washington attorney is not to be seen, and he is regarded in bis true light by those acquainted with his methods. That is as a confidence man who preys upon the ignorance of the old soldiers. He is thoroughly despised by reputable lawyers, but like the quack doctors, he has learned a scheme to make money and flourishes.

It is compiled principally from letters written by the laboring men, show- the condition of roads, crops made, and their mode of life. In looking at the work in advance of publication we find that at least the greatest number of roads are badly worked or nearly impassable, that the majority of the people fa- a certain number of days work by individuals, to be supplemented by a money tax on property. Taken as a whole, the crops made in this State last year were poor, net averaging over sixty per cent. It shows the financial and educational condition of laboring people as very poor, indeed, and their moral social are not good by any means. The causes of this state of affairs may be easily traced. There is but little skilled labor in State, hence wages received by working men are very low, which necessitates most rigid my. If our laboring people wore better educated and more workmen they would receive a more adequate their labor. Until labor is educated up to a higher moral standard there can be but none of improving the when Littleton Female College, of Eastern Reflector, commencement exercises this excellent school for young ladies came off the and 5th of June, and were largely attended an intelligent and appreciative Rev.

His entire life has one of goodly service earnest devotion to what he conceived to be his duty always. He is every inch a man. In tho Confederate army he was a faithful soldier gallant officer, made a record that will ever receive the best praise. His manly lofty qualities of head and of heart have endeared him to the people among whom he has lived labored with so much honor to himself and usefulness to He is a of a wide of in- formation.

Congregationalist. e is no probability that the Senate bills for admission of Idaho and Wyoming will be con- this session. The silver tariff bills, National bill will hare to be disposed before any attention is given to Statehood bills, but it is possible that the political considerations may induce the Republicans to admit the Slates next session. What Constitutes False tense- Washington Letter. From Our Regular Washington, D. C. June Tariff, silver politics are the topics of Congressional at present, and arc likely to remain the subjects of attention sometime to come. Some men started a report that Congress take a recess from 1st. to October 1st, but that is extreme as it would be cult to keep a here the autumn season. The solicitude of the members concerning their re-election is of more importance to many of than the business before Congress; while those who don't expect to be re-elected will be altogether too in- different about results to return be- fore the next regular session. It is the general opinion now among Congressmen, and those best posted on the subject, that Congress will not adjourn September 1st. The Republicans of the House have determined to take the lead on the silver question, which the Senate has been wrestling with, to no purpose, all this session. They will pass suspension the roles what is known as the which provides for the res silver certificates m lawful money or bullion. It is ex- petted to be somewhat amended to meet the views the President. The extreme silver men complain that a good ninny Republicans arc- deterred from taking a bold stand for free coinage, by their desire to stand well with the White House. They to feel a sense of the futility of passing a free coinage bill, now that it is not doubted the President would Interpose his veto. The authorizes and encourages the President to recommend measures to Congress, and it seems that this be an excellent time to obey this constitutional injunction in re- to the silver question. lie shy of the subject in his message but said a later day may communicate further on this A message him now probably ex- a settlement of the long de- bated question. Many of the extreme silver men are still confident that they will be able to pass a bill embodying their views, including free coinage in the Senate, but are doubtful of its pass- age in the House. They say that Republicans in both branches of Congress are more concerned about retaining pleasant relations with the administration and the patronage, than settling a great economic question. One of the ultra silver men has said that they intend to make an effort in the Senate to have the made legal tender, and further amend the pending measure as to make the bullion aggregate ounces, instead of that- many dollar's worth monthly. They would this by offering a free coinage bill as a substitute. Should it pass, they will use their best en- to have the House follow their example, take the chances of the President's veto. the mo- fails they will content them- selves with the bill as The House Republicans are I and will endeavor to pass a bill of such tendencies fore the Senate can come to a vote on the subject. As for the tariff the Republicans cannot agree. The and Allison divisions are as as were those of Randall and Morrison in the Democratic House of other days. Even the committee of the Senate that has the bill examination is against itself, will the end substitute a measure totally different. This substitute bill, it is believed will be -modeled on the lines of the Allison bill two years ago, except that where changes not increased. It will probably be passed sometime in August. It is expected that when the Senate bill reaches the House the Republicans will vote This will send it to a committee of the different Items will be fought over indefinitely. The more prominent Senate Democrats don't expect a tariff bill to be passed, and believe that the Republicans will pursue this course in older to a negative position in the Con- elections this autumn. When campaign begins they can say to their friends who are dissatisfied with certain items in the bill that it is not pro- posed to pass that measure, bat the Senate bill. A similar argument be made to those objecting to items in Senate bill. conference on Army report, included a rec. that no intoxicating drinks should be supplied In can- teens, or trader's store in States and Territories where exist.

The Judge confined his charge to False Pretense itemized the crimes which come within that scope. For the information of our readers we give here the Judge's definition of this violation of the criminal law. There must be a falsehood, which leads to a deception and which into a fraudulent A man may be a dealer in horses and mules and represents a certain animal as sound and of good quality but afterwards proves to be unsound and bad quality. The dealer is guilty fraud and is liable to be prosecuted. A merchant may be a dealer in flour and tells the purchaser that the article is a good grade and sells upon that representation. If the flour proves to be of an inferior grade and not as represented, the merchant is amenable to the criminal law and should be indicted by the grand Jury. The same rule will apply when the merchant informs his customers that this calico is of solid colors and will not fade. If the calico proves to be different from what rep- resent the merchant is guilty of fraud deceit and should be pros seated, A pair of shoes is sold upon the representation that they are good and durable. Alter examination the hot toms are found to be composed scraps and paper and are The seller is guilty of false pretense and consequently fraud, and should be presented. Dealers in Fertilizers may be guilty of fraud in representing that the fertilizer they sell is composed of certain chemical combinations. If fertilizers adapted to the growth of cotton are represented as being to the growth of tobacco, or if adapted to the growth of tobacco and are represented as being adapted to the growth of cotton, and the reverse is found to be true, the seller is guilty of fraud and deceit and should be prosecuted. If a or renter gets sup plies to cultivate his crop and to the landlord that he will deliver to so many bales of cotton, barrels of corn, bushels of rice and peas, and fails to redeem promise and make good his contract he comes within the bounds of fraud and deceit and is amenable to the criminal law. If a laborer goes to the farmer or merchant and agrees to work and gets money or any thing upon that promise and agreement and fails to comply he is guilty of fraud and should be prosecuted. Embezzlement was laid down by his honor as being one of the com- violations of the criminal law. It was defined as being the of the funds of another to your own personal ends. If a clerk sells goods for a merchant and ates the sales to his own purpose la- is guilty of embezzlement and most be punished. If a treasurer of a church or any charitable institution misappropriates the funds entrusted to keeping he is guilty of The same applies to all persons in whom confidence has been reposed. It is the object of the law to maintain the standard of between individuals and for every violation, the law must be en forced. False weights and measures, the Judge said came within the bounds of the definition of fraud and deceit. Thirty six inches equals a yard, and sixteen ounces equals a pound. If the merchant sold you thirty-five and a half inches for a yard he was of fraud and should be presented by the Grand If there was not sixteen ounces in the pound bought, the one who made the rep- is guilty of fraud and must be indicted. The most striking item to was false To person- ate person for the purpose of gain is fraud. To represent yourself as the son of a distinguished banker, the son of Jay Gould or and get money upon such the party would be guilty of false pretense and therefore amen- able to the criminal law- If yon represent yourself as being a attorney or physician and do business and make gain upon and said the law must protect such as had been disgraced by a fraud practiced upon her by one who bad won affections and in whom she had the most implicit confidence.

Dr. Mott expressed himself in favor of a Federal election law so shaped as to be divorced from or independent of the powers that be in State politics, the commissioner or supervisor of Congressional districts to be by the President and to be responsible to the Federal Gov- only.

Very careful calculations show that during the year ending September 30th, lbs. of butter were brought to from points out- side of the State. Nearly twenty en tons were thus imported into one city in a year. There must have been during the year hundreds of tons bought by our people from Without the State. There is great need for home production to supply our own demands. The Experiment Station proposes to foster the dairy industry and aid Ha development, so we will not need to purchase from abroad. Of the above amount. lbs. were used here in the fall and winter months, lbs. in the spring and summer months.
