[From thc Capital.] THE BEAUTIFUL *10BDEBESS. Sketch of Laura Fair. The time is approaching very near for the execution of the sentence of death upon Mrs. Laura I). Fair; and un? less the Executive pardon be interposed, California will witness for the first time within its history the execution of a woman by hanging. Well might the victim exclaim : "ls it possible that a womal) of ai Y lace and form can ever he hung?" It must bc confessed it looks extremely like it; and it is safe to say, should i lie sentence be carried out that she will not be the only one that will be surprised. To one who lived in that community during the war and anterior to it, reali? zing thc almost unlimited immunity guaranteed tva female especially on? ?M< superlatively h:-:i?:il':i! :..?> wa.? Mrs Fair, it stems incredible ib:?i a jury could bi* found that rt-iiiij convict ?.er ut'murder in thc first degree, lt possibly can only be accounted tor because or lue defiau: attitude assumed b? her after the de"d, and her too openly ma fi IV.-ted con? fidence in and presumption upon that feeling "1 tolerance toward woman, no matter h<tw culpable she might bc, so strong in the nature of every Califor? nian. Doubt les.?, too, a strong argument with that jury consisted in the universal j feeling of sympathy for the family of Crittenden. Mis. Fair was very beautiful in person, nor was her mind deficient io those qualities that add io personal charms Without being educated, save as to music, in which she was most accompli>licd, she had a vivacity ol manner and sprightliness of iutellect that invested her with a more than passing interest. ?She possesed the faculty of entertaining many at once, and on*seeing her amidst several gentle? men, and observing the facility with which she could leap as lt were from sub? ject to subject, coul l not help but real ize that, w:,ile she did not possess the most comprehensive knowledge of the various topics she at Iea>t was a very "clever" woman. She was one of those persons who desired to interest gentle? men only. She cared nothing for thc opinion of her own sex, possessed many good traits of character, and indeed was, because; of such good qualities, enabled to captivate such a mau as judge Crit? tenden. Mrs. Fair ci^ht years ago was in person remarkable. A blonde of most exquisite complexion, the fairness ol her skin never gave room for a doubt that art had aided in any way; she had fine dark eyes, with long drooping lash's, ania form of perfect proportions Added to this she possessed great taste in dress; inclining to the subdued colors for the promenades in the cvuing, the rich and elegant style characteristic of the wealthier and better class-not that it must bc supposed to be meant that she belonged to cither, for she did not. While she was still living with Mr. Fair, in the incipiency of her Unison with Critcodcn, she visited San Fran? cisco several times, not openly in his compatiy. but ostensibly putting up ahme a: thc most stylish hotel, and creating that /*//,-,/-/ which only a woman of her elegance aud beauty could do. Puring these visits she occasionally appeared j a; some of the m--sr. fashionable bails and concerts ; if at a ball, her superb;' apparel, uia^niiieent b rm ai;d beautiful j lace, where thc event of the evening ; ! < if at a concert, she was more observed ' that, the performers* Uer fame was soi Weil known that when she appeared, tl e effect upon her own sex could only ! b -?'<?mpared to that produced by the i sudden appearance of the daring corsair 1 amidst the convoy ; such u cluing up of j 1 ranks and unmasking of batteries, in}] order that husbands might be more : f-!f c: riiiy . ..?veted. J?uf,:ilas ! it was || often too evident that tho aforesaid ! i husbands rather inclined to strike their i 1 colo)s upou thc first appearance of thc i enemy. ? i In p int of por-io-ial resemblance, if! i Lydia Thompson was a little taller, more ! < round? land failerin fora, had dark1' eyes and lashes, greater wealth ol hair,, i she vould bear a striking likeness to ' i Mrs i'air wlu'O at the zenith of bei ' i charms. Without these changes thc . fair Lydia closely resembles her, in ! i manlier a? weil as person. : i Mrs. Fair never appeared to thc writer i ,M' :i woman who could bc capable of, I t ht kilting ul any man, yet Sue evidently j I w.is a warnen rd" great determination of < charactt i. bur ul :. v?ry Capricious mind, i \ It seemed impossible that she could , I ever c!?ng >a closely to any one as to j : cause her to commit au act (hat would | : endanger her'life and property,- for thc j * was avaricious.

I give up. ] 1 Tho infatuation of Judge Crittenden ! in itself shows that Mrs Fair wes more ' 'I than an ordinary woman-that she did i posse-s some elements ol'character and I promptings of heart that were good, ! else she could never l ave had such an 5 ascendency of him for he was a man of i great natural goodness of heart, purity i of character and refinement of manner, j Like a ihoHsaud other men just as good, he made his blunder an i paid his, penalty. _ L The feeling of horror at the deed ? that pervaded that eommuoity shows! the esteem in whieli he was held j Possibly of that entire people there was j .j none that would not have been suspected i sooner o', such a weakness than Judge . i ti Crittenden.

I Ti over aud ab.>ve affair? of similar eharac- ? . ter of daih occurrence amidst what was j jj tailed the highest circles. | Mrs. Fair was not received or recog- j ^ nized, of course, by th? wives and mothers of good society, but she was a queen in that lar^e number that occupy the neutral ground, as it were, ol society, couiptisiiig those who were suspected foo much io be encouraged, but not enough kuown to deserve condemua titn. J?T Thc Conservative! have t.oniiu a?elGen. John A. Wageuer for M ?yor of Chiflestoo NEGRO OUTRAGE. The Lawreosville Herald, of Joly 7, says : It is our duty to reedrd ooe of the most brutal outrages that'was ever com mitted in this or any other County. This outrage was committed on the Dight of the 30th JODO, st tbs residence of 31 r. Harrison Scott, who is 003 of our best citizens, and who resides io the Western portion of the County, near Mt. Gallagher post office. At the time, Mr. Scott was absent oo business, having gone to Hooea Path for the purpose of selling cotton. About 1 o'clock, on the night men? tioned, a band of negroes, supposed to be some ten or twelve io cumber, came to bia premises, and first made an attack upon the store-room io which a little boy was sleeping. The little fellow becom iwg frightened ran ont. sod was fired upou. hu: fortunately escaped without injury They then v<->?e au attack upou the dwelling house, in which they foimd .".Irs Scott, her two children and her Mother.- Her mather fled fiom the iiou.se, and was fired upou without effect. Entering, they demanded money of Mrs. Scott, or information as to the place io which it was kept. Mrs. Scott reiuaujg to tell, they proceeded to search thc room, breaking in pieces a splendid bureau, and smashing things generally, amid oaths and all manner of foul lan? guage. Failing in their search, they returned to Mrs. Scott, dragged her from ber bcd by the bair of her bead, fired pistols around her person, and fi? nally presented them at ber bosom, and swore that she must either tell or die. She was still firm. They then carried her daughter through the same ordeal, with like result-Seizing upon a little son, they held him op by the hair of the head, and swore if be did not tell them where they could find the money, they would cut his throat from ear to car. In his fright the child referred them to a certain trunk, where they fi und, and took some three hondred dollars in gold end silver-mostly gold. All this was done amid the most hor? rid OL' tbs and abusive language. After this, the band returned to thc store? room, where they obtained some twenty dollars more, and were Only prevented from sacking it by the gathering of the neighbors, who had been awakened by thc firing aod the shouting, to the dis? tance cf a mile or more* Mr. Scott estimates the damages at five hundred dollars. The proper affi? davit was made before Trial Justice Lark, who issued a warrant, and has already arrested, and lodged io jair at this place, three of the guilty party -Squire Jackson, Charles Clardy and George Smith. The Trial Justice and bia officer are in hot pursuit of the others, aud in a short time expects to have the entire band of outlaws under the power of the law. THE HONORABLE BIG A 1*1 IST* A Northern exchange thus comments on thc reccDt conviction of Hos. C. C. BOWEN, M. C.; A stranger, whose knowledge of our politics was confined to such information 3S might be gleaned from Hepwbliean pnpers, would naturally infer that the I f Hon. Mr. Bowen i* a "secessionist," a j .rebel," and a "disloyalist." He would not dream that he belonged to the party of "great moral ideas,"' and was a worthy ; * ;>nd by no means singular leader of that i t party io South Carolina. J'ut such ts thc melancholy fact. He is very like the Kev. Mr. Whi'.temore, the cadetship broker, atid Republican member of. Congress. Ile differs very little from ' thc three prominent members of that is party recently sent to the State Prison ic for three years, for stuffing tbe ballot- ^ boxes ia that uuhappy State. Ile differs | auly in the character of some of his ? vices, and that very little, from the'3 member* of the Republican Legislature ic ol South Carolina who have plundered j that State of minions drawn from tho j i-statos of honest and virtuous citizens, i ' Tn be sure R-^wen can read and write, j * whereas a majority of the Republicans If io the Legislature of South Carolioa,] ..annot. In this he has the advantage j) >f the rank mid file. And yet, it is fur :hc express purpose of keeping just such ; ;ucn in power at thc South, aud through J ^ hem controlling thc elections, that the . I egislation ?if Congress has been shaped, j t It is for this purpose that the President \? >f thc United State? has been armed *ith the power of senJing the military 'orces of the Knited States into the -'outh. Such is the bitter, remorseless md shameless treatment of a conquered leople. Such is the character of"re roostruction," and "reaping the fruit of he war"-and such the agents by which t is accomplished. Fit policy, fit agents, br the corrupt and unprincipled par'y rhich tramples upon every principle of'<< aw and decency in order to secure its ' ease of power over the country. rilE "FOtBTH'i AT TAMMANY RALL. u New York, July ^-"Tammany" ?rlebrated as usual to-day at (heir ball. ?uv.

Among the features of the celebra* lion of the fourth of July at New York Jity, was the parade of a negro regiment through the streets, followed by great crowds, who cheered tho dusky ranks in in uprorious manner. And what is significant and remarkable, they were formally reviewed by Geo. Tweed, a Tammany Hall (Democratic) leader, and 'cceived from the balcony of Blosiom 21ub House by numerous other great ights of New York Democracy. Demo :rats, too, subscribed far their uniforms, >aid for their music, and Democratic >rators urged them to turo out, on this, heir fi nt military ?mrade, on ?he great burth in the great Democratic City. The Xew York Sun says they gave he utmost satisfaction in their ?volu? ions, and that their dress uniforms and nartial appearance were fine. After the review, Gen. Ttvced beck >ncd Col. Taylor, (their colored com nander), and grasping his hand warm y. ?aid. <4I congratulate you on the uccess of your command. Wont you J :omc in ?" [They were at thc Blossom Jlub House.] The Colonel went in and ?artook of the hospitality of the Bios om?, and returned with a geoial sm.Ie m his face. After parading through the most prominent streets, they repaired to the Viinorjf, where a banquet had been pre tared for them by the Lincoln Club. 1?re the Colonel addressed his dark tewed command and tbe company as embled. Alluding to the cry that had leen raised with regard to the regiment laving been sold to the Democratic par y, he ssid, "Geo. Tweed, Senator Tweed, Col. Fellows, and those men who arc said to have bought u*, came 1 forward and offered us money to help io* the time of our distress. Time and 1 time again it has teen said that these men bought ns for the Democratic ?ticket. It is lalee. The black man wes hungry-these men came sod said, wc will help you ! They never asked for our votes. But it is not in the heart of the black man to go back on bis benefactors. If the Republican party are angry with the Democrats for helping us, why in Go i's name didn't they come toward aud he lp ns themselves." Tbe New York Democrats have thus ot only recognized Degrees ss men and retbren, possessing the sesee right? and ri vi leges as white meo, bet they have one ont of thew way to do it-for they ere secare io tbe possession of the rjotrol of the elections of their City and tete, by heavy majorities.

Commencement at Wofford bas always been ao occasion pf much interest, from the simple fact thal it bas always been an educational seat of high- grade, and because there is, at Spartanburg gather? ed, an amount of appreciative intelli? gence, social refinement, genial hospi? tality, and moral ' ind religious worth, such as is rarely found, in a community of similar size-[the detractions of the Tribune correspondent to the contrary notwithstanding.] In fact, as au insti? tution of learning, thoroughly inter? woven with the elements of moral and religions strength, Wofford and its associations would stand 'preeminent in any country at any time. With its handsome endowment swept away, however, by the war, and amidst the genera wreck of the country, the attendance, since the war, upon its Com mcncemcnts, though not actually small, had not been large. On the recent occasion, of which we write, thl ante bellum audiences were closely approxi mated, if not fully equalled, whilst the number of graduates (fifteen) equalled that of any previous class. The discipline at Wofford, though on an elevated plane, is seldom actually enforced, bceause a high moral sense restrains the student, while a tran ly, virtuous zeal, springing from the same source, induces vigorous ?mulation. In producing that sentiment, and eiciting that emulation, the Faculty is a unit one in a pure and active christianity and thorough scholastic attainments. And just here it is appropriate to state thc.;!, all of the rece.it graduates were consistent members of the Church, and four of them about to enter the ministry. THE COMMENCEMENT SERMON by BISHOP WIGHTMAN (the first Pres.. dent of Wofford,) at the College Chapel, on Sabbath morning, was attended by a great congregation of people-the Presbyterian and Baptist Churches of the towo being closed at that hour. Time has dealt lightly with the well rounded, manly, (we had almost said majestic,) form of the Bishop, while his men tal powers aod impassioned delivery, have in nothing abated. He is still the grandest preacher of the Southern Methodist Episcopacy. He found bis fitting theme, on this occ-.sion, in tLe in* terrogatory of the rich young man to the Saviour : ''Good master, what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life ?" Although not one of his grandest and most complete efforts, it was never? theless of great beauty, point and power. TF1E JUNIOR EXHIBITION. Monday morning, brought a large audience, in which the ladies had thc advantage in majority. With floral compliments in band, they came in beTies, until the spacious floor of the chapel was transformed into well nigh a solid mass of beauty. The extended rostrum, too, was filled-the Faculty, the Bishop, visiting clergy io considera? ble number, and the literati, visiting and local, presenting an imposing array of dignity and learning. Quite a trial, we thought, fora young man to appear| before such an assemblage. Thc speakers were ten io number, who had been elected, by their fellows, /rom an unusually promising clase of twenty-two. There bad evidently been much emulation among these, judging from the general success. Some of them attained a high degree of oratorical accomplishment, bat there were oo really inferior speakers amoog them. Asa whole, we had never seen it ex? celled. The following were the speakers and their subjects : 1. -Christianity-It? Diffurton and Efeeta-by Wm H. Fork, of Edg? field, S. C. 2. -Ood'i Word, tb? Trae In ?tra nest of Moral Regeneration-by F. A.

The dramatic tread of th e.speaker, aa fae paced to sod fro, bia flowing white locks, his stately form, his flashing eye, were alike impressive, sod these, wheo quickened ead stirred by the bursts of bis oratory, seemed to move every heart to impulsive action. He paid s glowing tribute to JOHN WIS* LEY. sketched our present deplorable condition, under existing rule and closed with the earnest, proph?tie declaration (standing, as fae said he did, upon the verge of the grave, without political iiopes or prospect before him.) that oar loved Southland would yet bc free. TH2 LITERARY SOCIETIES' These held their annual meetings ie the evening. Both halls were well 111" ed. The Preston society was presided over by Gen. PRESTON-the Calhoun by A. A. GILBERT. The subject of d?bete, with tile form* er, was : "Ought the pies of polities! necessity ever to be admitted es so ex? cuse or palliation for violating the Constitution or laws V Affirmative : J. C. CARLISLE of Charleston, W. B. BURNELL of Ashville N. C. Negative : J. E. WEBSTER, of Union ead J. EL W ANNAMARIE, of Orangeburg. De? cision in the negative, by large majority? J.

C., IV. H. FOLK, Edgefield, 8. a Negative:"Chas. F- SMITH, of Sparenburg, S. C., and F. A. GILBERT, of Sumter, 8. C. Here tbe negative also prevailed by large majority. The valedictory wea spoken by J. WASHINGTON BOYD, of Laurens. These debates exhibited much research and thought fJMfcp part of the young speakers, and mK high-ly creditable to them. Conferring diplomatie honors of the Society upoe the graduates, Gen. PRES? TON addressed the yoong meo with great earnestness and beamy. The presiding officer of the Calhoun, in making similar bestowals, addressed the gradu?tes arid Society. Our space leaves tts bot little room for COMMENCEMENT DAY. The crowd culminated on Wednesdsy. Wc have scarcely seen a finer audience io the Stete. There were fifteen gradu? ates. The scene wu enlivened by L) Brand's splendid brass bend, of Columbia. Each graduate delivered his graduating speech and received hts sheep-skin from the hands of President SHIPP, accompanied with a copy of the Holy Bible. The whole constituted a gratifying success. Wc reserve the names of grad?ales, and some notable features io the Report of | the Faculty, for our nest issue.] The Reunite party, io the evening, was a large and brilliant affair.
