ping at persona as if he wanted to bite them,
and was only prevented from injuring himself
and others by th 3 united strength of six men,
which scarcely sufficed to restrain him. It was
many hours before he was quieted. The phy?
sicians say the disease is not hydrophobia, and
are somewhat mystified as to its precise nature.
During his paroxysms he called for and drank
profusely of water.
-Rev. Dr. J, C. Keener, thc new bishop
elected by the Methodist General Conference,
at Memphis, is about fifty years of age, and is
a member of the Louisiana Conference, and
has been for many years connected with Ihe
interests ot his church in the City of New Or?
leans. He has been, in addition to being pre?
siding elder of the New Orleans District, edi?
tor of the New Orleans Christian Advocate.
He is a graceful and forcible writer, a man of
much experience with men and things. Has
travelled oxtenEively both in this and the old
world, and is perfectly conversant with the
usases of his church. Rather dogmatic and
austere in demeanor, but clear lu judgment
and safe in counsel. Perhaps none better
could have been selected.
The Nineteenth Century and Thc News.
It is at all tin es unpleasant for the jour?
nalist to engage in personal controversy,
especially with his contemporaries of the
press, and we need hardly say how doubly
disagreeable is the case when he is forced to
encounter one who wields the pen of the
editor while clad in the garb of a more
sacred calling. Nothing but tho vindication
of personal character from foul aud public
aspersion induc?s us, thus publicly, to reply
to tho following uote and enclosure banded
to us yesterday:
(ENCLOSURE.)
[From The Charleston News, May 27.]
We find the following paragraph in the "Edi?
torial Workshop ? of the June number of The
Nineteenth Century:
"It ls time to have done with this foolishness.
Grave men cannot afford to be led and de?
graded by an Irresponsible News sheet, edited
.By men who declare that they 'do not care a
--for principled "
This statement, If it be meant to refer to the
editors of THE CHARLESTON NEWS, is both
slanderous and false.
(NOTE FRO Bf THC REV. W. W. HICKS.)
CHARLESTON, 8. C., May 27, 1870.
Messrs. Riordan, Dawson ? Co., Editors Daily
News, Charleston, S. C.:
GENTLEMEN-The accompanying slip was
taken from your paper this morning. In re?
ply, I beg to say that Mr. Riordan, one of the
editors and proprietors of THE DAILY NEWS,
ls correctly quoted in " The Nineteenth Centu?
ry v for June. Therefore, the "statement" is
not " slanderous and false," but unquestiona?
bly true.
The foUowiug memoranda may help Mr.
Riordan's memory :
1. The place where the "statement" was
made-Tun NEWS OFFICE.
2. The Time-The 23d day of March, 1870.
3. The person to whom made-The business
manager of The Nineteenth Century, Captain
C. E. Chichester.
4. Witnesses-Almighty God, and thc Editor
of The Nineteenth Century.
Gentlemen, do jrdo deny ? Then wc proceed
to the publication of proof.
You will oblige by giving place to this in
your columns.
Respectfully,
W. WATKIN HICKS,
The Editor of The Nineteenth Century.
Comparing the allegations contained in
this note with the offensive publication in
the magazine, it will be seen that the Rev.
Mr. Hicks has broadly charged against the
"men" who edit TRK NEWS an atrocious
expression which he now claims to have
heard from only one of their number. How
far, then, his sweeping accusation against
the editors generally of this paper is consis?
tent with a decent regard for truth and fair?
ness, not to speak of Christian charity, it
will be for the public to judge.
But, passing over this point, the state?
ment in the Nineteenth Century is a gross
and, we are constrained to believe, a mali?
cious misrepresentation of what was said
by Mr. Riordari,on the occasion referred to.
It was in a casual private conversation, that
Captain Chichester, then but recently re?
turned from a sojourn of many months in
the West, expressed regret that THE^EWS
should have acquiesced in the results of the
Reconstruction legislation of Congress, re?
marking that the policy which it now advo?
cates involved, in his opinion, a sacrifice of
principle. Dissenting from this view, Mr.
Riordan said, in substance, that OBJ- attempt
oo the part of the whites to cliug to what he
considered the dead issues of the past, and
which Captaiu Chichester seemed to regard
as "principle," would proloug indefinitely
the rule of the ignorant aud corrupt, aud
would, therefore, be worse than folly.
Such was the exact spirit, if uot the exact
language, of the opinion maintained by
Mr. Riordan in the conversation with Cap?
tain Chichester. Mr. Riordan did not give
utterance to the sentiment attributed to
him by the editor of The Nineteenth Cen?
tury. And nobody knows this better than
the Rev. W. Watkin Hicks himself.
Slander and detraction are edged tools,
which often wound thcv.e who use them
incautiously. And Charleston is changed,
indeed, if any man may hope to gain favor
with his fellows, by distorting a private con?
versation for the gratification of persoual
spleen an'd dissatisL. , ambition.
The Stmpiou Bend.
We print this morning a letter from Co?
lumbia, which shows that our correspondent
j was misinformed, and that Governor Scott
and General Stoibrand are not the bonds
! men of the forger Sampson. We make this
contradiction cheerfully and without reserve;
^or we had rather, at any time, slight a
friend than do an intentional injustice to our
own enemies or those of our own people.
We are not yet advised of the source from
which our correspondent received his infor
. mali on; but we are confident that his au?
thority was sufficiently-good to fully justify
the statement which he forwarded to THE
1 NEWS.
Industrial Activity.
The Walhalla Courte- ?-ays that there is
now more activity in mechanical operations
in its section than was ever before known.
Imn diately around Walhalla three steam
saw mills are daily engaged in converting
the forest trees into lumber for building pur?
poses. These cannot supply the demand
for lumber, though every creek also has its
saw mill. The supply of timber i3 almost
inexhaustible, the market is flush, and the
industrious are flourishing. Carpenters,
painters and every class of artisans find
constant employment and good wages.
The Enterprise speaks in highly compli?
mentary terms of the colored and wrapping
papers made by the Greenville Paper Mil:.
Join Political Reform to Industrial Ac?
tivity, and South Carolina ^vill soon work
her way out of the slough of difficulty and
despair.
The Roll of Honor.
The following named counties have al?
ready appointed their delegates to the Re?
form Convention, which assembles in Colum?
bia on June I5th next:
1. Charleston.May 16
2. Barnwell.May 21
And notice has been given that the fol?
lowing named counties will appoint their
delegates on the days specified :
3. Union.May 25
4. Orangeburg. .June C
5. Marlon.May 25
C. Williamsburg.June 6
7. Laurens.June 6
8. Kershaw.June 6
9. Marlboro'.June C
10. Spartanburg.June 6
11. Newberry.June 6
12. Chester.June 6
13. Horry.June 6
H.Lexington_?.June 6
15. Richland.June 6
16. Darlington.June 6'
17. Edgefleld.June 6
18. Oconee.June 6
19. York.June 6
20. Fairfield.June 6
21. Greenville.June 6
Sales-day in June being apparently the
most generally convenient time for holding
county meetings, we suggest that the re?
maining counties give notice at once that
they will appoint their delegates on that
day.
The number of delegates appointed in
Charleston was equal to double the repre?
sentation of the county in both branches of
the General Assembly. In order that the
Convention may be both large and influen?
tial, our sister counties are invited to ap?
point delegates on the same basis.
THE Greenville Mountaineer hears it ru?
mored that any new recruits who may join
the Radical ranks will be received "on pro?
bation," and will have " to bide a time "
before they get any pap. The Mountaineer,
therefore, says: "This is a wise move on
" the part of the Republicans; but it is a
" bad one for the opposite party, who are
" thu3 deprived of the use of one of the
" sluices through which much that was cor
" rupt and unreliable was sloughed off."
The Nineteenth Century.
The June number of The Nineteenth Century
opens with a vigorously written article upon
"The Status and Prospects of the Negro."' We
hope, however, to be able to prove to the
writer, in the course of a few 3'oars, that South
Carolina can live and prosper although she
has a majority of black votes. "Morna EI
" verley " and " The Storm and Sunset " are
continued. Ex-Governor Perry gives a brief
sketch of the life of John Quincy Adams, and
Mr. G. B. Lamar, Sr., of Savannah, joins bat?
tle with Governor Perry over the official
corpus of ex-President Andrew Johnson. Mr.
Lamar denies that Mr. Johnson is "aman of
"great wisdom, ability, patriotism and firm
" ness," and writes him down one who " is
" not in any degree entitled to the just admi
" ration of any honest man.''
The principal poem in the number is
" Ernesdyl," by Mr. P. J. Malone, of Charles?
ton. The very name shows the creative power
and originality of this rising young'poet, who
will, we trust, be properly encouraged. In
the poem, which is about two hundred lines
in length, are two passages which should be
remembered. This Is one :
"The forty rears of gathered snows glide down,
From hts bent shoulders like an avalanche.
And once again erect in youth he stands."
The thought may bc as old as the hills, but
it ls well expressed, which is a great deal now
a-days. And this couplet is pretty, even if
the second line hails a little :
" Just as the genial sun of April strikes
Into the twig a life of buds aud blooms."
There are, as In the greatest works, some
awkward passages. The use of walkt, as the
preterite of the verb to walk, looks like stretch?
ing a point, and such an expression as " he
" prides in most " is not English, although it
may be used in
-" That blue mountaiu range
That 'joirs thc Carolinas."
The realistic touches in " Ernesdyl " are
brimful of pathos. What might be called ldeal
reallsra is Mr. Maloue's forte. He can speak
of a spade so that it will sound like a double
action steam plough, and throws over the
simplest words the mantle of poetic thought
What, for instance, could bc sweeter than this
lament of the wife of the Lord of Ernesdyl :
M I've had no luck this year-no luck.
At least, as ouce I had with eggs and milk;
The good old times arc gone; hens lay so UL"
Who cannot sympathize with " thc beautiful
old lady," who connects the fall of empires
and thc crash of worlds with the degeneracy
of cows and the dearth of spring chickens ?
Again :
* Last year I lost three jlne calve.* ia one day.
All by one sirukc uflBbuUng."
No one will have theTardihood to deny that
this is true poetry, and within the comprehen?
sion of every man and boy (and calf?) in the
8tate. The star of Tennyson must pale its
ineffectual fires. , *
Mr. Malone will allow us to hint that some of
Iiis rhymes are " a leetle " defective. Lou and
new will not.do. Bush, to pair with thrush, is
not as good as brush. And Limb and climb
will never go together-why not try Tim ?
Wc did want to know what is "the knee"
of a dairy-house, and whether "allen Jars"
arc intended for holding foreign preserves
but this would be hypercriticism ; the more
particularly as an indulgence in eleven-year
oki Scuppernong wine, the make of Dame
Ernes, of milk and chicken memory, obfus?
cates the mighty brain of thc poetic historian
of the glories ol' " Ernesdyl." He quaffs the
wine
" And what she said or show'd me afterward,
I cannot state with such exactitude:
In fact, I did the talking most.y then."
This frauk confession brings this pastoral
poem to a close.
The Nineteenth Century, wc omitted to say,
is now "a handsome book of ninety-six
" pages."

FLAVORING EXTRACTS.
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT.
GREAT REDUCTION IN PRICES.
_ *
QUALITY STILL FURTHER IMPROVED.
We beg leave respectfully to call the attention
of the public to our Superior Flavoring Extracts.
As ten years have now elapsed since we first In?
troduced them to the notice of the American pub?
lic, we deem lt unnecessary at present to enter
into a lengthy description of their merits, Ac.
There Ls hardly a eity or town of any note In the
country Into which they have not found their
way. The reason or this widespread popularity
and dally Increasing demand ts owing entirely to
their peculiar excellence and Intrinsic worth.
Being determined to make them the Standard Ex?
tracts or the day, we have still further Improved
their quality, and now we firmly and honestly be?
lieve that they stand without a ri va!. Our Vanilla
Extract cannot be surpassed for richness and
delicacy of flavor. It is a strictly pure and high?
ly concentrated Extract of Vanilla Beans. In
short, we think lt the best that ls made, at least,
this ls the decision of the best Judges lu the coun?
try. We don't pretend to compete lu price with
many of the so-called Flavoring Extracts of the
day, which are really bnt worthless compounds,
undeserving of the name.
For quality and style, we defy competition.
