[Letter to the Neics and Courier.] ''1 :;* C\>Li:uiuvt February 12.?It is very early in the politcal year, but already t' c chances of the candidates for the Democratic nominations for State otlices and for Congress are under disrnvsion, and there is in the field a jr.HMlly array of Carolinians who will consent to serve iN4 State and their country if they are required to do so. I ? nrhor words, in tho nolitiwil n.<ir lance of the day, "They are in the hands of their friends." The probabilities are that there will be no opposition whatever to the renomination of Governor Thompson. A number of articles on the subject have appeared in the county newspa|>er$, but nowhere has there been any suggestion of opposing the reuomiriation of the presfeut Governor, who 1 as given genera! satisfaction by the curtesy, intelligence and the unwavering fidelity with which he has - - a-T Kir> Ul?vtliUgVU>tUC UUUU9 UI UiO lllipvi IUI1L office. The single objectiou "made to" him is that of the Abbeville Fr&s and Banner, which does not want any mau as Governor who &an. enthusiast - oii the subject of popular 'education. There is little feeling of this sort iii the State, and what is treated by the Press and Banner as an objection is, in the , __r;?Ut'os of! most people, a, strong;; recommendation. If it wwere no? the Governors. opinions on the subject would m?t be an objection to Mm for the i*ea?)?i that the Governor has no power r . whatever in. the; m?%r ,'The State - * .

A Man Shot on the Street by a Woman Who Then Blows Out Her Own Brains. Nkw York, Feb. 12.?Victor Grafton Andree was standing on the platform of the elevated railway at 59th street and Third Avenue this morning, accompanied by a seven-year-old boy, waiting to take the train down town, when a woman stepped up behind him, shot him in the back and as he fell, thinking she had killed him, she put the pistol to her own temple and blew but her brains. The station was crowded with people and intense excitement was created. The dead woman, the wounded man and the little boy were taken to a station-house. The inau's wounds were probed and found to be probably fatal. Andree described hirnselt as a journalist, connected with a German newspaper, and a teacher in the educational j *?si;ii>li?;hiiionl of J. G. Von Taube. at I No. 10, Gramercv Park. He admitted that he knew the woman who shot hhn, but refused to give any explanation of her act. The boy who was with hiin when shot was George Beckel, a son of Joseph J. Deckel, in whose honse the wounded man lived. The woman was about 22 years old with handsome regular features, fair complexion, dark browu hair and hazel eyes. Nothing was found upon her person which would lead to her wlAtstlA/tofinn AY/?Anf ft wlntn oilb 1UVtilluvanvnj v-^vvj/v ?f *?i?.v v?i*k hand kerchief having a letter J marked on if. And ree has been in this 'connfry about si.v months. He acted as correspondant of the Boersen Courier, of Berlin, a financial paper of which his father is the owner. Andree was taking the borxjoy^;^r: school when he was shot. * ^otmngis known concerning his relations with any woman* The Slyiterlons Woman. New; York, - February 12.?The police have discovered that the young woman who shot Victor C. Andre, at Fifty-ninth street Elevated Station, this morning, was Miss Jennie II. Almov. asred 24, who taught in a-iin Uecjpirteh school. She lived at No. Ill West Tweny-fifth street, where she had hired a room for some time. A larg^ package.of letters was found in Andre's room, winch she had written to him. From these it appeared that he had promised to marry her and had afterwards deserted her from some cause, but whether he had betrayed her or not could not be ascertained from the correspondence. The police think that desertion alone would not have sufficed to induce her to commit the crime. It is evident that Andre knew that she was waiting to sec him and that he .dreaded the meeting For this reason lie . reported at . the school where he taught that he was ???wl h?/1 rpmniiipi) tn Ilia l-ftrmi daring tlie whole past week. This morning be ventured out for the first fkiH*. It is said at Miss Aimer's boaniing-house that she went awav every morning early and did not return until night, and it is supposed that >he spent the dsv watching Andre's house. The police find that the two became "acquainted, last autumu at a house where they " Boarded . together. Their actions ~iheu. did not iudicate that there wa-tany love-making as far as coiiIdjhe'^ascertained. .They appeared tf> be 'bnTv friertds. There was nothing in Miss Almey's deportment inauyof the places where she lived which was inconsistent with the idea that she was a virtuous woman, her maimers bein" always modest and ladylike. Nothing, however, could be learned of her. antecedents. Her body was taken to the morgue, where it awaits the disposition oftha coroner. Andre's condition grows rapidly worse at the hospital, and he vomited blood continually. Physicians say he connot possibly recover. In his' ante-mortem statement, taken tip afternoon, he aidniitted that he was-' engaged to majTy Miss" Aluney, but: saia that he broke his promise upon discovering that she was a divorced wife. He would not state how he found it out or give any further particulars, and the police doubt the truth of the statement. He would not answer any questions^ regard .to their relations. The Bfstol used by Miss Almey is a Smithes Wesson self-cocker of large cnUftre, and was entirely new. S 11 , c. ? Tornadoes L^Xex'i*. Waco, Tex., ^ebruarv IS.?A tor nado occuppctT here yesterday.

The Testimony Conflicting, but Nevertheless Tending to Vindicate the White People-Particulars of the Riot, as Told by Opposing Parties. Washington, February 14.?The investigation of the Danville election riot was begun this morning. Congressmen Cabell and John S. Wise, of Virginia, were present. Walter S. Withers* colored, who at the time of the riot was a policeman in Danville, first witness. He described his experience on the 3rd of [ November. A white man and a col ored man were fighting and a crowd assembled. The witness arrived after the combatants had been separated, but crowds remained. The whites were ranged in line along the curb and the colored men were in the street. The white men had pistols in their hands. The witness advised the colored men to leave, fearing they would get hurt. He heard white men say they, the colored men, could gel enr.nah if thev wanted it, and if they " "" a? ? ?? didn't leave some of them would get hurt. The witness was unsuccessful iu his efforts. Some of the colored men objected to leaving, saying that the whites were trying to override them. He stepped to one side aud upon the sidewalk just before the firing besran. The first firing was in i --M tfte air. i ne coiomi peuiMu vt^au ^ run, after which the whites aimed at them wherever they could see them. The witness di<l not. make any arrests, J being afraid to do so. The local officials were Readjustee. A military company was called out about an hour after the riot. Some of the white rioters .were on guard that evening. None of the colored men, so far as the witness knew, had. pistols. One man was shot dead and several wounded. In consequence of the riot the colored people agreed among themselves uot to vote at the election three days afterwards, fearing violence. In reply to Senator Vance the witness said his l?mmmittw1 f>f UlilUilVll IUOU& uvivi v wuv w forty at Danville was incorrect, in so far as it averred that .the colored ineu liad used-firearms. The witness had signed tlie affidavit, but did not write it. It had been read over to him, but it seemed, something had been added thereafter. The colored men, bad been assured by leading white inen of Danville, after the riot, that they would not be disturbed at the polls,, but still they feared t6 vote. The witness was not afraid to .vote, but did not because of the..understanding- that the colored would not vote No order? were received not to vote. ; Jack Redd, colored, was next/called. He was Republican chairman. He went tp. Danvillle on November 3, to. "f&i siimc nhnnfc threats he had ,OtV Vv** i ---.-heard against the Colonel. About 2 o'clock . he heard there ;wa? fighting. I He Jeft hastily, as did oilier colored men, when the "fighting began. Afterwards, ou returning, he was met-by Col. Cabell, who told him the fuss was-) the consequence of his (witness's).] teachings. Ned Hatcher came along j and asked Cabell who witness was. Being informed, Hatcher said, "Let me blow his brains out." Col. Cabell i said, "No, let the scoundrel leave here." Hatcher struck the witness, and then as the witness left they Began i firing at him. Witness saw his white neighbors going into Danville that night and returning with guns the.y had procured in Danville. He: saw them going to the polls j>n election ! day with the same guns. The colored people were thereby intimidatedjjwwT concluded not to go In reply to Senator V^TTcc the witness got excited and ^inced ignorance of i the distance J?om Danville to New Design,tltfr witness's own precinct, where?tno colored people did not vote bjfc**reason of intimidation and from "Danville to Wimbush where tliey did vote. lie did not know that,New Design was four miles, while Wimbush was only one mile from Danville. The next witness examined was L. L. Joey, colored, llis testimony miimnrntjint.. Hp saw people running and thought there was a fire; went to the corner to ascertain, and saw white men along the curl* with their pistols aimed; feared somebody might shoot him and went back to "his place of business. The filing begau and the colored men ran. One. was shot across, the street. Jack Red?j, the preceding witness, came along and asked the colored men, "What are you ronniii' for, de white people is only btmiin'powder." They replied, ''Wat's de meanin' of oat dead man ober dar, if dev don't mean harm." The witness described the maltreatment of Jack JRedd by Hatcher, which were made to himself on the same day by. ?Tim icifnpts 'did. nOf. wJ11te ....kvv. vote because of fear inspired by the riot. The committee then took a recess. .Proceedings were resumed at 2 o'clock, and "W7 R. Taylor, white, tobacconist of Danville, took the witness chair. Replying to a series of questions by Senator Sherman and Senator Vance,-., he said that, on the. afternoon of November 3rd, ho was doorkeeper ait a. Democratic, .meeting in the opera house in Danville.Mp.i Noell told the witness he had been insulted by a negro named Hence Lawson, and asked the witness.and Mr. Lee to go down and see fair play,, while he (Noell) thrashed Luwson. The three went down the street, met Lawson, and Noell administered the thrashing. Two policemen came op 3? ^epijrate the^copibatiints and witness toli' Noell he had done enough, and the two were parted. Jtist then 1 - ** ?j' it.? [ Leo caned me wunuss, aim mu taucr turning, saw a large negro trying to take Lee'3 pistol away. The witness struck the negro on the back with a cane and then tripped and fell. At this moment Lee's pistol was discharged, but whether by accident or design the witness did not know. The negro Kin, and a crowd began to gather, asking who fired at the negro. The witness was pointed out by some one as the man who fired. A negro named David Lewellyn stepped out of the crowd and the witness said to him: "I have not fired, bat if you want the contents of my pistol yon can have it." Lewellyn drew a white handled pistol from his pocket and returned it again. The crowd increased and became threatening. When the fight began there were but three white men and some fifteen negroes in the street in sight, and at the climax there were between 200 and 300 negroes and about fifteen white men. In the witness's opinion had the white men shown fear they would all have been murdered there. He saw two or three pistols among the negroes. The witness emptied five chambers of his pistol at the crowd of negroes, and would most assurredly do so again under like circumstances. Did not know whether he hit anybody or not. There was not to the witness's knowledge any predetermination among the whites to bring on a riot. The condition of affairs was threatening'in consequence, as he thought of the local government at Danville. The negroes crowded white men and white ladies off the sidewalks. The witness had been insulted by Lawson two days before the riot. Lawson advanced" toward* him, .drawing .some kind of weapon, when witness threatened to shoot if . ?fc,.w<yg Lawson advanced beyond .a particular point.' " Dr.P.B. Temple, of Danville, was. : the next witness. He testified to li.ivi intr ltpr>ii nrpsp.nt !if* flu* rnM>rino*'5if."tlm opera house in Danville on the night of the riot, and that there was great excitement among the sir lirindred and more persons present.' He said there was a stir in the street arid somebody said there was a fight. Quiet was restored, however, through the exertions of the chairman, who said the disturbancs on the street was caused by some one who wished to break up the meeting. The witness remained in the onera house until a resolution had been adopted, when he left and got out on the street ho saw fifteen or twenty men confronting an infuriated mob of "niggers." The latter were violent and threatening, mil chrmfinor nnf tliov shoot as well as the whites. Some persons, among them a policeman, were endeavoring to allay the excitement. The negroes would not go away, however, and soon the shooting began. The white men fired a volley which the negroes returned, and oil the firing of the second volley by the whites, negroes ran, firing as they ran. "The witness was armed and fired with the rest. He fired t'onr shots into the crowd of negroes. He said he was obliged to do it. He did not make any inquiries as to the cause of the trouble. He onlv saw ten orfif teen of his fellow-citizens contending ,1 against a mob of negroes and ho took ! ] the side of his own people. Witness ,1 had bought his pistol a month before j tills thing occurred. Tt was, he said,] a notorious fact that the negroes were j1 armed, and the whites had tnkew incas- 1 ures for their own preservation. Wlien > j witness fired Ms pistol he: fired right-.into the crowd. fie. clidn't kiiow.!1 whom he hit. He did not fire after, the crowd began to run, and tried to prevent others from iirinir.

How the Two Vessels of the Propose^ Expedition are to Operate. Washington, February 12.- -The report of the Board of Officers appointed to consider plans for the Greeley Relief Expedition has becji made public. The general programme proposed by the Board to be followed is as loiiows: rne reuei parry 10 go north in two ships, which should endeavor to reach Upernavik not later than the loth of May. From Upernavik they should go to Littleton Island and endeavor to open communication with the natives at and north of Cape York. A depot, consisting of a house, fifty tons of coal, a steam life cutter, "a whaleboat and provisions and clothing for the entire party for one year, should be established on Littleton Island, the stores being taken from ship No. 1 and left in charge of one officer and two men. After leaving Littleton Island and reaching the ice KmtiMfii* fKn r\tmi nf uai liUI UIV * i? \/i in v* v.v[/vv?iwv? would be for No. 1 to take the lirst favorable opportunity to push to the northwest, leaving No. 2 to serve as a base to fall back upon in case of disaster or for second attempt to reach Lady Franklin Sound; No. 2 not to enter the ice pack, bul to manoeuvre constantly to the southward of it 0'* to anchor in immediate vicinity, to be ready to laud a second main depot of provisions, to consist of the same amount of material proposed for the first, but to include two whaleboats in case No. 2 be required to proceed north in the event of disaster to No. 1. Should Smith Sound be comparatively open No. 1 should advance to the northward, forming small depots at "Washington Irving Island and the vicinity of Cape Collinsou. and Carl Hitter Bay. No. 2, after forming a small depot of supplies at Crpe Sabine, to proceed as far north at Dobbin Bay, IwrnnH tvliicli lV>illt slip shOtlld HOt advance unless the prolonged absence of No. 1 should give rise to the apprehension of her loss. Should No. 1 be crushed or disabled, No. 2, before attempting to advance north, should land her house, two boats and supplies for the whole party for one vear, in the vicinitv of Dobbin Bay. * TO "WINTEll IF NECESSARY. Should neither vessel be crushed and should neither succeed in communicating with Ladv Franklin Sound, one should winter in Franklin Pierce Bay mid the other in tSic vicinity of Littleton Island. On the way north the coast to be * examined- from Capo York to Cape Ohlsen on the east side, and from Cape Isabella to (,'ape Sabine on the west. Cairns should be erected containing notices of the movements and intentions of the relief expedition at Corneal Rock, Wolstenhohne Island, Cary Islands, Hakluvt Island, Cape Isabella and Cape Sabine. _ ?'? _ i a r\ j xne wnaiers iniui uunueu anu uic sealers from Newfoundland are to be requested to keep a lookout on the iccfloes for Lieutenant Greeley's party. The naval vessel or tender is "to go as far as Littleton Island or Cape Sabine. It ts also suggested that an advance ship shouid be dispatched through Davis Strait, Baffin and Melville bays at the earliest possible moment, taking more risks than the relief ships, and might be able to rescue the party should they have effected a retreat to the entrance of Smith Sound or the Danish settlement. "Degrading- Influence of Slavery." Iii the debate 011 education in the House of Representatives, Mr. IJoar, of Massachusetts, remarked that slavery in the South was not so observable in the degradation of the slave as in the depravity of the master. Mr. Critcher, of Virginia, replied: Reminding the gentleman from Massachusetts that every signer of the De duration of Independence, except those from his State, and perliausone or two others, were slave owners, he would venture to make a bold assertion; he would venture to say that he could name more eminent men from the single parish of hit, residence, than the gentleman could name from the ichole commonwealth of Massachusetts. He i would procecd to name thein, and yield the floor to the gentleman to match them if he could. On one side of his estate is Wakefield, the birthplace of Washington. On the other side is Stratford, the residence of Light Horse Harry Lee, of glorious Revolutimim.i ninmni'r Aftiniinmr is Chantilly, the residence of Richard Jienry Eee, the mover of the Declaration of Independence, and the Cicero of the American Revolution. There lived Frauds Lightfoot Lee, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. Charles Lee, at one time Washington's atlorncv-gcneral; and Arthur Lee, the accomplished negotiator of the treaty of commerce'and alliance between the colonies and France in 1777. Returning, as said before, , you come first to the birth-place of Washington; another hours drive will hrinor von to the birth-nlace of Monroe; another hour's drive to the birth-place of Madison, and if the gentleman supposes that the present generation is unworthy of their illustrious ancestors, he has but to stand on the same estate to see the massive chimneys of the baronial mansion that witnessed the birth of llobcrt E. Lee. These arc some of the eminent men from the parish of his residence, and i lie yieided the floor, that the gentle- j man might match them, if he could, j from the commonwealth of Massachusetts. . The "City of Columbui" Abandoned. Boston, February 12?It has been concluded to abandon all further efforts to recover any property from the wreck of the City of Columbus. The tide runs with such velocity where the wreck lies thai the vessel is rapidly going to pieces. Nothing1 of value has been recovered. There is no hope of the recovery of any of the bodies, as it is supposed the decks have been washed away and that the hull is open to the action of the waves. The next storm of siijv severity will probably | obliterate all traces of the steamer. An .Assistant to Xatnre. A man stepped into a drug store the other day and called for a bottle of Norman's "Naturalizing" Cordial.
