t ih hf useless for me to at
tempt to express the gratification I
feel at this demonstration. Words
would fail were I to attempt to do
so and my voice is too much affected
to'allow me to make sjlfih-an attempt.
If you could understand my feelings,
in view of this manifestation of your
kindness through the whole length
and breadth of the State, you would
know how I appreciate the evidences
of your good-will not as to myself
personally, but as showing that the
people of the Old North State are
now sending their congratulations
back to -the South State through its
Governor. Standing on the thres
hold of the State whose principles first
wave life to the Mecklenburg Decla
ration of Independence, applause, I
feel that for the first time in ten years
I can say I am your fellow-citizen.
Cheers. For that past ten years
your sister State has been lying pros
trate, and it seemed to us that hope
itself had forsaken us; but, thanks be
to God, there was deep in their
termined never to desnond. Thev
tripd mnrnrnises-thev tried the
best men of both parties but all
failed-, and then we swore the State
should be redeemed, and redeemed it
has been. Applause. But, fellow
citizeDS, we redeemed it not by pro
scription or violence, but, by the
adoption of a platform so broad,
wide and strong that all South Caro
linians, of all parties, races and colors
could stand upon it. I feel special
gratification in knowing that but for
the votes of honest colored men I
should not now be here as Governor
of South Carolina. Applause. We
are bound to carry out in good
faith the pledges we made them,
that every good citizen, regardless of
color, shall be equal in the light of the
law. I am pledged to see those prom
ises redeemed, and, so help me God,
redeemed they shall be. Tremen
dous cheeriug. Now let me say to
you, and I eay it as a Democrat
speaking to Democrats, that I went
lo Washington with some of the pre
judices of my party. I went deter
mined to make no compromises, to
insist that we should have the rights
we were'entitled to. We wanted no
thing more, and would be satisfied
with nothing less. I was gratified to
hnd the President had respect enough

Columbia. I left him with the honest
conviction that he was earnest and
straightforward, and that be will do
all in his power to restore harmony
throughout the whole country, and
that he will fulfil the promises made
by him in his inaugural. Great
cheering. My friends, I thauk you
most heartily for this greeting. I
will go back and tell the South Caro
linians that the great heart of this
people is beating for us in kindred
sympathy, and, I trust in God, that
before long your old sister State,
rising up, proud, brave, happy and
prosperous, holding her arms over her
children, shall send greeting to North
Carolina, and say: "We take our
place once more by your side, as the
peer, the equal of any State in this
grand Union." Greatand long con
tinued cheering.

two miles from the latter place. On
the first day of the Sessions,upon the
recommendation ot Phil. Alston,
Clerk, Geo. Glasscock, Esq., was
chosen Deputy Clerk. The Deputy
Clerk eeems to have done all the
business of the office, at least record
ed all the proceedings, as the Clerk's
official signature does not appear. At
August terra, 1785, it was ordered
by the court that" George Glasscock,
who had been duly qualified as
Deputy Clerk, hereafter record all
proceedings and issue all papers in
his own name as Clerk of the county.
This looks like a summary way to
get rid of a clerk, but the fact that
Alston was elected to represent this
county in the Senate branch of the
Legislature that year. may account
for the change.
That Alston possessed some ability
might be inferred from his continued
promotion, as he was returned to the
Senate in 1786. In morals he was
corrupt, vindictive and unscrupulous.
In a subsequent contest for the clerk
ship, his old deputy was elected over
him, and, piqued on account of his
defeat, he hired his own slave, Dave
Alston, to murder his friend and
deputy, George Glasscock, promising

the State of Georgia, where, it is said,
a just retribution overtook him, hav

George Glasscock lived about one

Carthage, at a place possessing some

George Glasscock was a good citizen.
In all the relations of life, both pub

The Tax Question In tbe Criminal
Court.
In compliance with an order of the Judge
of the Criminal Court, a messenger was sent
yesterday to the residence of A. R. Black,
Esq., late Tax Collector of the County, on
Middle Sound, about nine miles from this
city, for the tax books of 1875, with the
view of ascertaining if J. C. Smith and W.
McNeill, two of the Grand Jury, had settled
their taxes for that year, the two jurymen
being excused from further service until
this question could be determined. The
tax books arrived yesterday afternoon and
the matter will be settled this morning.
This action was taken in connection with
the Heaton cases, his counsel having raised
the question of the legality of the Grand
Jury on the ground that some of the mem
bers had not paid their taxes, as required
by law. Only fourteen of the Grand Jury
were on duty yesterday, two of the mem
bers having been relieved by His Honor
from further service during the term, it
being understood that they could produce
no evidence that they had paid iheir taxes
for the year 1875.

Dr. Echekck's Standard Rsxxdixs. -The stas
dard remedies for all diseases of ths lungs are
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, Schenck's Sea Weed
Tonie, and Schenck's Mandrake Pills, and if takes
before the lungs are destroyed a speedy cure Is ef
fected. To these three medicines Dr. j. H. Schenck, of
Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled success in the
treatment of pulmonary diseases.
The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the morbid matter in
the lungs; nature throws it off by an easy expecto
ration, for when the phlegm or matter is ripe a
slight cough will throw it off, the patient has rest
and the lungs begin to heal.
To enable the Pulmonic Syrup to do this Schenck's
Mandrake Pills and Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic
must be freely used to cleanse the stomach and li
ver. -Schenck's Mandrake Pills act en the liver, re
moving all obstructions, relax the gall bladder, ths
bile starts freely, and the liver is soon relieved.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is a gentle stimulant
and alterative; the alkali of which it is composed
mixes with the food and prevents souring. It as
sists the digestion by toning up the stomach to a
healthy condition, so that the food and Pulmonic
Syrup will make good blood ; then the longs heal,
and the patient will surely get well if care is taken
to prevent fresh cold.
All who wish to consult Dr. Schenck, either per
sonally or by letter, can do so at his principal office,
corner Sixth and Arch Streets, Philadelphia, every
Monday.
Schenck's medicines are sold by all druggists
throughout the country.
