TTjr-SBAY, NOVEMBER S. J. A. MOOD. M. T>. ) ? I>. B ANDERSON, y?j>ITOi;!5 President Arthur bus decided to designate Thursday, November 24, as a day of national thanksgiving and prayer. Secretory Blaine will retire ia December: He says the new Cabinet will be Graut from top to bottom. Gov. Foster, of Ohio, says that James G. Blaine means to be the next Republican can didate for the Presidency. Snow was reported falling on the uijjht of the 4th, along the Hudson River and tbroegb. out New York State. A Maunch Chunk, Pa., dispatch of the 4th reported an inch of snow in the mountains. The thermometer was down to twelve decrees above zero. Sarah Bernhardt cleared forty-two thousand dollars in the United Stales. Chief Justice Waite says there are too many law schools and too mairy lawyers in this country. A few Florida farmers who have planted arrow-root make as mudi as $1,000 on an acre. / For the year ending September 1, the citi zens of Brownsville, Teno., consumed 523 bar rels of whiskey. During Kalakau's absence his kingdom is in charge of bis sister, who bears the wild, weird name of Liliookalina. The Irish tenants pay the landlords $100. 000,000 in rent annually, and the landlords spend most ot it ia England and cu the Con tinent. It is believed that there will be no partica br scarcity of meats and provisions this win ter. But there will be a great scare!Ly of money unless provisions take a tumble. Smallpox is raging in Richmond to aa alarming extent. It seems that it has pre vailed there for a week, but the papers have kept the fact of its existence a secret. President Arthur's maiden sister is to pre side over the White House. Miss Arthur was before the war a teacher in the family of Mrs. Tillman, the mother of Congressman Ti!!man of the 5th District. The Legislature will meet the 22d of this month. There will be several important mat ters for its consideration ; among them the question of calling a Constitutional Coges tion, the adoption of the new Civil Code and the Lien Law. Two suits of clothes were made at the At lanta Exposition grounds the 27th ultimo in the quickest time on record ; one st-it for Gov. Colquit, of GeoTgia, the other for Gov. Bigelow, of Connecticut. The cotton was picked from the field in the moraing at 7 o'clock : and the Governors wore the suits that evening at an entertainment. The Atlanta Exposition is not a success j pecuniaiiiy. The managemeLt, do cot be- j lieve now that it will pay expenses. The j Philadelphia Press's correspondent gives a | most encouraging view of the exhibit. He j says North Carolina and Florida lead ail the j Southern States, Ke says "it is a very great Exposition." It is said that Arthur objects to putting Gen. Lcngstreet in his Cabinet, because be "deserted the United States army to take sides with the South,?' The President seems i to forget that the Genera;, at the Srst oppor- j tunity, deserted the South to take sides with j the Republican party. The editor of the Chattanooga Tunes does ! not understand how the President can object to Longsreet's former connection with the | "rebel army57 while hugging to bis bosom j Mahone, who claims to have no apology to ! make for the pas* and s till swears that j heis':a better Democrat thau Ben Hill." The Chicago Trilune says that the young ] lady who appeared not long ago at a masked j bail in a dress, made of $1.000 Confederate | bonds was rather expensively clad, and the j Atlanta man whojecentiy used a targe sup- ; ply as wall paper now walks through his house with a melancholy visage. Mr. Edward Atkinson Sncs ia the Atlanta Exposition v.hat Dr. Johnson discovered in j Thrale's brewery : :Tae potentiality of great | riches/' The collection of North Carolina J ores and minerais exhibited by the agent of j the Richmond and Dauviiie Railroad is said I to be rich acd varied beyond aoything of ibe j kind ever s^en before. North Carolina is i believed to coutaiu the greatest minerai depo- ! si:s oa the continent, and Yaccey, Buncombe, j Jackson. $ v<un Macoa and Cherokee Cour.- j ties are declared to excel Colorado and Nevada in subterranean resources. The boiler of Cromefs steam engine, ! located abcJt three miles fron: Abbeville C. j II., exploded on the 1st iust.; and it is re- j ported that two negroes are dead and two | white mer* fearfully injured?one with a leg ! and arm severed from his body. The explo t?on was caused by the colored engineer, j The register indicated 120 pounds to the j square inch, and thesteaa wasescaning from j the safet; valve. Being annoyed by t!;e escape of the steam, ho threw .-i log chain over the lever of the safety vulve, which closed it In ?. few minutes the boiler burst. Recent rains in the West have brought out pasturage to such an exteot as almost to offset the shortage io the corn crop Iiis suited, also, that an open Winter is universally look ed for, and in event of this expectation being realized, next Spring will find tte agricultu rists and cattle raisers ahead, with a new "boom" on hand, despite the present loss of shortage on crops, the corn and oats needed for food for cattle, hogs, etc., will be more than supplied in value by tbeSpriug wheat planted on the grouud _so well prepared by the recent storms. The ancient city of Fayetteville, N. C., the cross creek of the Revolution and hot-bed of Scotch Presbyterian icbels in the "days that tried men's sou's," 1ms at last succumb ed to the "weight of municipal debt and sur rendered her charter. The holders of Oer obligations will appoint a receiver, and she will pass through the processes that did uoi relieve Memphis. 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.

Scot' zcTiti cd of lie Murder of \ h~. K. Jjrvry. I The jarv in the Scott-Drurv cas.' retired to , j toe jury room, in Napoleon, Ohio. at4 o'clock ; 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! ?srg..* but after their nineteen hours consul- : 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 shot !>rury with a pistol and killed him. He ! claimed that tbe shooting was accidental, ; ! which plea, we supro*e the jury acquit ted : j him on. ! .- - 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 ' ...

Flickering Values of Confederate Promi ses to Pay?Official DiscIosures--Wbat the English Journals Say. Londo", November 3.?The Ti mCs says i "We are able to say that ihe Dank of England does not bold a peony available for payment of Conf?d?rale hoods. Toe public should be vvate of buying bonds intrinsically worthless in inc laiih of such rumors." Confederate bonds have declined to ?l 2s. Cd., per ?100. 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.

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. MARRIED MOLOXY?MOXAGHAX.?At the Con vent Chapel, Sumter, S.
