There has boon considerable work done on the streets lately, and their -condition is much improved. The fall session of Mount Zion Institute oponod on Monday. It is hoped that the institution will be nore prosperous than over. We are requested to state that the match game of base ball between the nine from Columbia and the Nameless nine of this place will commence at half-past three o'clock, sharp. The time for taxpayers to make their returns to the county auditor ).expires on the 31st inst. After that time, the auditor is required by law to take the returns of the delin quent taxpayer for last year as the returns for this year-adding a pol alty of fifty per cent. This will iii crease the dolinguont's ta just one half. Po-5oNA GRANGE. -The attention ,of farmers and Grangers is called io the notice, published in another column, announcing that a meeting will be held at White Oak on Sat urday next, for the purpose of organ izing a Pomona Grange. We trast the meeting will be largely attended. It is highly important that the Grange I d b, kept up in Fairfield..g" well as 1 other portions -of ' the State, and e 'y farm" should do his share of the ood work. The gathering at White Oak promives to be q, very interesting one. H. A. Gaillard, Esq., member of the House of Representatives from this county, reached home on Sa.tr day. He had boon in attendance upon the meeting of the judieiary committee, c.lled t-) considor the triail justice system of the State. Tie committeo has pro pared two plans to bo submitted to the Legislature--one making im provements in the trial jnstice sys tern, and the other creating county courts. The majority of the com, mittee favor the latter scheme, and it will doubtless be adopted. A specimen Tramp. A tramp, accompanied by his wife and three children, passed along the Colubia road on Monday. He was in a miserable plight, but had not lost his taste for luxuries. He said that both ho and his wife constantly cbewed tobacco, and, for himself, he just couldn't do without it, When asked what he would do if he were called on to choose between a sup,. ply of bread for his children and one of tobacco for himself, he evaded the question, and said he would take a little of both.- "But," said the ques tioner, 0suppose you conidn't get both." 'oWell," replied the lover of the weed, "I could always get some of both. J'v just got to have it." This was said by a man who, accord,. ing to his own showing, had been work ing at fifty cents per da~, and find ing himself-by a ma') tramping through the country, followed by a wife and three children, homeless, penniless, and, perhaps dlersorvedly, friendless. It is of course difficult for the lawy to reuach such offenders Sagainst socioty, and, indeed, against' humanity itaalf. Bunt if such a fel low could be put in a work-house for a month or two, and madle to work, even if the lash had to be applied, lhe would come out a much wiser and a much better man, TJhe mi.sfortpmne of most tramps lies in their inordinate laziness, and some. thing sho;ld be dlone to cure them of that failing. A sound thrashing is about the boat remedy that we 4an think of. &~nator Gordon's daughter, Caro ,lina, born in Washington city last winter, died recently at his resi.. dence in Kirkwood. G4earga FATAL Fm W'r OVER A DINNER. Bennottsyille was thrown into a stato of excitement oil Ti.esday last, by the killing of one pirisonor in jil by another. About a month ago a notorious negro, named John Mc Qucen, was arrested in Chesterfield county, charged with rapo upon a white woman, and confined in jail tor safe keeping. Ton days after wards, Alex. Sparks, aliav Gwin, a inulatto, was arrested in the same 1ounty for resisting an officer and :listurbing the peace. On Tu.sday those two parties wore engaged in a -amio of cards, by which Gwin bot nd lost his dinner. Very soon the alor came up stairs with the ncal tor the prisoners, and handed Gwin his through the hole in the door ; uld as soon ae he ca-lught hold of tle plate, the negro caught t4e other iide and throw the whole thing into Uwin's face, Whereupon 1he drew i fonr-bladed pocket-Iknife, and with the small blado attsempted to cut the negro's throat ; but the negro, being a very strong and pow orful man, forced Gwin's arm down, and when in that position Gwin stabbed hirn in the thigh, causing his death in ten. minutes. The negro killed had a very bad r-nputa tion as a mean and dangerous mau. Mfarion Merchant and Farmer. Judge T. 0. P. Vernon died in Spartanburg on the 18th inst. He was conunissioner in equity for Spartanburg District for many years before the war, and since filled re poectively the positions of county judge and of circuit judge of this circuit for several years. Hi course in the ku klux trials irritated the Radicals, and he would have been impeached had he not re signed. Judge Vernon had many friends.
