Recent rains in the West have brought out

also, that an open Winter is universally look

realized, next Spring will find tte agricultu

Ex-Congressman Rain*'}-, of South Caroli
na at a reception given in his honor in Wash
ington,, last Thursday night, declares his pur
pose to give his party friends ia Congress a
chance to test their professions of love for the
colored mai. by otfering them the opportuni
ty to nominate him for clerk of the House.
Two years ago, when the Republicans were
in the minority in the House, they gave to
Ituinr?y the ^-iiipty ho?ior of their nomination
for that office. The announcement was con
veyed to hirn by Mr. Garfield. Now, they
are s gain in the majority in the House, and
so Raicey proposes to put their professions to
the test, by ottering himself as a candidate
for the same nomination at a time when a
nomination is worth something. The public
will await with some interest th^ resuit of this
practical test of Republican professions of a
desire to honor aud advance the colored man.

I The jarv in the Scott-Drurv cas.' retired to ,

I on last Friday afternoon, and there remained j
un:".! 11 o'clock Saturday morning, debating j
whether or not Scott should "dar.ee tbe air!

I titicn on the subject they brought in a ver- j
I diet of?'not guilfv," which, the oaners ?av, .
i was received with demons: rations of approval ;
j by those present. Ail we have to say is. that j
! the people of Ohio do not knew Scott as well
j as we do, and do not conceive cf the solemn ,
! gravity of a cold blooded murder;
On the night of 2-lib of last January, young !
Drury. a drug clerk was taking care of Scott's !
son. who was drank ; Scott went to Dairy's '
j room and demanded admittance, which was
j refused. A tussle took place in which Scott '

j Death of Prof. David Duncan.
j We clip the following from th* Columbia ;
i Register, of October 31, After several years |
I of personal acquaintance with Prof. Duncan. !
i in the relation of student, we can heartily '.
j subscribe to this brief description of his j
! virtues :
j "Professor David Duncan died to-day. JTe ;
closed his long and useful scholastic career
j within the shadow of Wofford College, aged
! 90. Possessing an elastic old age, he fought .
off old age with the vigor of a cheerful man
hood, and only yielding, without disease, :
when the weary wheels of nature stood still, j
tie was polished in manners, genial and affa- .
ble, radiant with smiles nod open in friend- j
ship and hospitality. His symmetrical char- ;
acter, the purity of his life, tbe beauty of his ,
benevolence, the unbending truth and bon- j
esty of the man. placed him in a high niche !
far above the mere showy endowments of j
genius. Iiis labor was a tribute to duty,
and his life is a monument in tbe character
of his children and ia the imperishable prin- !
e?ples which have shaped the manhood of i
thousands of youth committed to his instruc- j
tion. Before he bad embarked on the for- j
tunes of the new world he had consecrated j
himself to the Church of Chi ist, in whose!'
communion he spent the prime of life, leaving j:
as his dying testimony, "The Lord is my de- j '
liverer." His children rise up and call him j ;
blessed, and the State of his adoption, in the !
person of tbe communia-, lays a green gar- j 1
land on his grave as one of her sons whom j :
she delights to honor.
Another Kape and Lynehirjg. ' \
A little orphan girl, between eight and uine J '
years o"d, living between Greenville and
Macloy's factory, in Greenville County, was ; ]
mcst bruia?ly outraged cc last Friday, by a ] '
fiend in the shape of a human being, by the j
name of Rub Williams, colored. The uncle!"
of the little girl being informed of this diabol* j ;
ical deed, with the assistance of his neighbors, j
immediately proceeded to the house of the |
perpetrator, who they found io bed, enjoying j
the sweet repose of sleep. After tying him j
they started for Williamston. The scoundrel ;
confessed his crime and asked, t:Arr; vou '
going to kill me?" and requested that he ;
might be shot instead of handed.
i
A hundred or more men, being made up of
old, middle aged, and young men, white and !
black, met at the depot and consulted upon j
this heinous crime. It was decided to bave J
Williams brought face to face to the poor lit
tle innocent creature he had ruined, and bave
him identified. She recognized him at once,
and said he was the one, which he strength- j
eced by cool?y saying, '-yes, that is tbe little j
Williams was taken across the bridge over j
I Saluda River, a rope placed around his neck
j and adjusted to a limb, and everything beiug !
t ready for the execution, the horse upon which J
William sat w:is driven from under him and |
his neck paid the penalty of his devilish deed.-j
After the lynching all excitement subsided ;
until the next morning (Saturday), which J
: was ouce more aroused by .: negro man who j
I * j
j was black enough a-, heart to say that <:ifi
I Williams h;id been a relative of his. be would j
I not have let him been killed." Which remark :
j so incensed the community that he was im-j
i mediately seized and a rope placed around j
! bis neck, and he was about to share the same
I fate of Wil Hams, bu t owing to the interces
j sions of President Smyihe and other gentle- \
men, he wa. let off with tbe uroinise thai he 1
i ' ... I
j would leave for parts unknown.

Flickering Values of Confederate Promi

"We are able to say that ihe Dank of England

of Conf?d?rale hoods. Toe public should be
vvate of buying bonds intrinsically worthless
in inc laiih of such rumors."

WavHFXcto::, November 3 ?The Slate D?
pariaient has had oo correspondence, and
does not contemplate having any, with the
English Government in reference to the re
potted balance remaining in English banks to
the credit of the Confederate States.
A story was circulated here l h is afternoon
to the effect that United States Treasurer Gil
fillan had said that there were Confederate
bonds in the Treasury lepiescoticg many mil
lions of dollars, aud that they were being
couu:cd with a view to selling them. Mr.
GilSUan, when questioned about il to-night,
denied emphatically that he had ever Paid
any thing of the kind. Assistant Secretary
Upton, speaking on the subject this eveuiug,
said that during Secretary BoutwelPs admin
istration the Government paid $50.000 for a
great mass of Confederate archives, and that
among them there were many bonds which
are now stored away ia a room devoted to
captured and abandoned property. He did
not think that any one connected with the
Government had n right to sell them without
authorization of Congress. His impression
was that the bonds were unsigned, although
he was ool positve. uot having seeu any of
them iu years. No examination has b^en
made of bonds, papers, &c, stored away in the
toom referred lo, and Secretary Upton say she
has no moans of judging whether there are
few or many of cupoo-bonds of 1S65 among
the accumulation. He thought there might
he Confederate bonds of different kinds oa
hand representing a million of collars.
London, November 2.?The St. James Ga
zeUt. In its financial article this evening, com
ments on the hollowness of the claim of hold
ers of Confederate bonds and the futility of
endeavoring to exercise a pressure on the
Southern States by means which have been
resorted to with indifferent success in cases of
sovereign States, such as Turkey and Peru.
London, November 3.?The Times in its
financial article to-day, says : 'Purchases ol
Confederate bonds are believed to be en
tirely due to the action of a clique who are !
prepared to run up tbc price of any rubbish J
if they think there is the faintest chance of j
alluring the public into-joining the venture.
The attitude taken by the United States Gov
ernment ought to give such persons cause for
reflection The Americin Governmenfs^jht
to the alleged property in Europe is apparent
ly undeniable, the Confederacy uevc-r haviog
been recognized as a sovereign State, and the
property it claimed to bold being really that
of the United States, there would seem to be !
no question of title which the bondholders I
can put forward. The claim which the j
Uuited States Government opposes in such a
determined fashion, can hardly be worth very
much."
The Daily Xexcs says it knows of no amount
in the Bank of England or elsewhere, in any
way available for these mischievous claims.
The Confederacy doubtless had other liabilities !
which probably, long ago, absorbed moneys
originally lying here. It is greatly to be
hoped that no more agitation will be suffered
on the subject.
The Standard reproduces the report that
counsel has been retained to press the claims
of bondholders to a sum in the Bank of Eng
land.

THE NOTORIOUS NINTH.
Misbehavior of the Massachusetts Regi
ment in Richmond.
Springfield, Mass., October 30.?
William A. Andrews, of New Britain,
Conn., who was in Richmond, Va.,
during the visit of the Ninth Massachu
setts Regiment writes as follows to the
Springfield Republican concerning that
regiment's indecent behavior :
'The Ninth arrived in Richmond on
Monday, and bad been in the city but a
short time when.it seemed rs if the
devil took possession of them. Their
first abuse was to confiscate anything
in the shape of horse or mule team, in
many cases unhitching them from the
omnibuses or carts and two or three
mounting them and ridiug through the
streets, making the air resound with
their drunkeu howls. Then, not satis
.fied with that, they next took to tearing
down the decorations, taking hold of
3Gything they could reach and strip
ping them from the store fronts and
awnings, the people all this time think
ing that they would see what they
were doing and would come to their
senses ; but matters grew worse, and
when the girls came out of the stores
and workshops at 6 o'clock they attack
ed them with the most foul aod obscene
language possible, at the same time
defying the police and calling on them
to dare to arrest them. Fioally the
Mayor told the Chief of Police that it
must be stopped, and to use all force to
do so In a very few minutes about
one hundred of them found themselves
inside of the lock-up : then they told the
officers if they could take care of the
rest, ail right ; if not they could take
care of them for them, and take them
out of the city as soon as Possible,
and under no Cooperation would
they be allowed to return through the
city. After all this the Richmond
papers of the next morning simply
said, 'We are sorry that our friends
from Massachusetts saw fit to behave
as they did, knowing that they did
not represent the people of the good
old State of Massachusetts. These are!
but a few of the facts of their visit to
the South, and I think there should be
some excuse made by the State of Mas
sachusetts to the people of Richmond
for their behavior, while in that city.'
This would seem to be bad enough to
make every son of Massachsetts hang !
his head with shame, but unfortunate
ly Mr. Andrews does not tell half of
the wretched facts. A Vermont gen
tleman gives additional details of the
regiment's misconduct at Richmond,
which indicate that a great many of its
members acted more like half-crazed
tramps than like gentlemen soldiers.
On the trip down, the Massachusetts
militia 'gutted' the ferry boat crossing
over to Jersey City. At Wilmington,
Del., they 'cleaned out" the resturant
without paying for what they got to eat,
and disorder and ruffianism seems to
have been the rule rather than the
exception wherever they went. The
admirable conduct of the Connecticut
militia was in marked contrast to that
of the Massachusetts representatives.
The Connecticut boys have acquitted
themselves splendidly, and the people
of the State are naturally gratified.
