Organisation of the National Bank of
Greenville.
A meeting of gentlemen proposing to organ*
too a National Bank in the City of Greenrille,
met, pursuant to notion, in the parlor of the
Mansion House. Rev. Dr. J. P. Borcu was
oalled to the Chair, and Jawua Birkib, Esq.,
waa requested to aet as Secretary. Eighty
thousand dollars, ($8t,000) was subaoribed, and
the necessary papers filled up and signed, to
send to the Comptroller of the enrrenoy in
Washington.
The following offloors and Directors were
eleoted:
II am lin Beattib, Esq., President; Jonir J.
Blackwood, Cashier. Directors?Jambs P,
Borcu, Alexander McBeb, James Birrie,
R. k?. Gates, J. J. Palmer, William Beattib,

suli.it ar.
i no ?anic will probably be ready lor the
transaction of business in about thirty days
time. We congratulate our community and
this section of the State, upon the organization
of the Bank in Greenville. We understand
that the books are still open, and the Directors
are desirous of increasing the stock at once to
one hundred thousand dollars, and we hope all
onr merchants and others in Greenville and
adjoining Counties, will hasten to take shares
to make out the same. It oannot tail to bo a
safe and profitable investment. We know of no
institution of the kind with a better set of officers.
They are men of known integrity, ability
and business capacity. Tbo Bank will be
a safe place for deposits of funds, public and
private, and our business men, and citizens
generally, will doubtless avail themselves of
Its advantages. The Bank must contribute
greatly to the commercial business and trade
of the place, especially the cotton trade, and
heroafter we are of opinion Greenville will
prove one of the best markets in the State,
both to sell and buy.
There will bo a branch of the Citizens Savings
Bank in the same office with the National
Bank, which will give opportunities for depositing,
and other business with that institution.
A Lady Burned to Death.
A moat distressing and shocking occurrence
took place last Thursday afternoon,
at the house ol the Misses Matthews, on Av
enue Street, near the Theological Seminary,
in thia place. Miss Jane Camebov, a maiden
lady, aged about sixty-eight, but atill
hale aud hearty, went up to her room after
8 o'clock P. M:, (a fire having been juat
kindled in the chimney,) and a short time
afterward, one of the ladiea in the story below
heard a heavy fa 1 upon the floor. A
colored boy was aent up to learn what was
the matter; he knocked at the door, and
returned saying Miss Cameron waenotin her
room. The ladies knew that she was, and
immediately a grown servant woman was
aent up, who opened the door, and found the
room so filled with smoke that she could
not soe. Opening a window, ahe found Mits
Cameron lying on the floor lifeless, her
clothing still burning slowly. She had
wrapped the rug around the lower part of
har body, it is supposed, to extinguish
the fire, but the clothing below the
middle of the body was all consumed,
and her limbs were badly burned.?
Tha face and head, and upper portion
of her peraon, did not show much, if any,
injury. It is supposed that she died almost
immediately from suffocation, and, it. is hoped,
with Tery brief suffering. The canebottom
rocking chair was immediately hefee
the fire, and a portion of the aeat was
burned. It is inferred that Miss Cameron
was sitting in thia chair when her clothing
cadghf, and possibly doeing at the time, and
was awakened too late to save herself, although
she used the beat means afforded.
Misa Cameron vti a lady highly eateeired
by all who knew her, for her good eanee,
amiability and piety. 8he baa taught
achool, at different timea, for yeare past in
Greenville, and waa higlily regarded as a
teacher. She waa a native of Scotland, hot
reared in Charleeton, from whieh place the
came to Greenville.
Senators Sawyer and Bobertaon on tha
Amneaty Bill la the United Btatea Benate.
The Honie baa ahown a wiae and magnanimous
diapoaition to paaa a general Amneaty
Bill, and baa, by a vote of 170 to 21, aent the
kill to the Senate. The latter body ia debating
the qneation, and abowa a diapoaition to
delay action; this ia very unfortunate for the
whole country. Aa long aa the disfranchisemeat
of the lerge meaa of Intelligent and experienced
men of the South prevaiie, the State
governments must be left io the hande of ignorance,
and, aa we Ind, unfortunately, in
mtnT AAMI diflhnnAflt kandi.
We notice with pleuore the decided coarse
of the South Caroline Senator*, Messrs. Saw*
and Robsrtsob, on the Amnesty question.
On the 23d inst., Mr. Sawyer made an
able speech, opposing the motion to amend
the Amnesty Bill by annexing Mr. Somnbr's
# supplementary Civil Rights Bill, on the ground
that each should stand on its merits, and that
neither should be endangered by uniting them
together. The Bill of Mr. Somrrr could
be passed by a bare majority, whilst it requires
a t'fo*third vote to pass the Amnesty Bill.?
u- Barter declared himself in favor of Sow*
wbr's bill, and would vote tor it by Itself when
the time oaase.

The South Carolinian.
A daily newspaper of the above title baa
jaat been commenced in Columbia, by Col.
Johr P. Thomas, late editor of the Phoenix.?
Col. Thomas has made himself fapous In this
State and throughout the coontry, as a bold,
fearless, independent, palriotie and able writer
; unsparing in hie denunoiations of the
abuses of power, and bis paper will doubtless
succeed. We greet him in his now position,
as both proprietor and editor of a public journaL
The oeeasion of his separation from Mr.
Sslsv, of the Phoenix, was the refusal of the
lattor to publish an editorial of Col. Thomai,
striking at what be regarded some sinister objects
of the managers of the Blue Ridge Railroad.
The South Carolinian proclaims already
a good start in the way of subscribers and
patronage, and relies confidently on a large '
subscription in the 8tate.

Cowhiding.
Columbia, lately, seemed to be particularly
prolific in cases of cowhiding parties. <
The first case was that of one Williams, a
colored policeman, attacking Mr. Btas, a
colored legislator trom Orangeburg County.
The second, was that of Mr. Btas, alluded
to above, attempting to chastise Mr. Toillissom,
correspondent ol the Charleston
jVass, objecting to the tatter's statement of
the first affray. The correspondent drew a
pistol and ahot and slightly wounded his
wrathy antagonist. The last was an attack
made by a young man upon an old and very
respectable gentleman of Columbia, at one
time s copartner in business of the latter.

among Jonee, Wilkes, Hunter Lee and Byv
at, who amueed themselves md libitum with
their peealiar oratory, repeated their
threadbare and familiar arguments, and
diaported thetneeWee generally to their own
intense satiefaolion. The call of the yeaa
and naya being finally reached, it waa
found that a sufficient number of members
were not present to carry the resolution'
under the two-thirds rule in any case,
there being bat eighty-one members present
while under the speaker's ruling, an affirms*
ire rote of eighty-eight Is necessary. The

of members In favor of impeachment than

in a tie, by 40 to 40. The apeak er having the

The finance committee of the Senate reported
a bill to cancel the liability of the
State on the guaranty of the bonds of the
Bine Ridge Railroad. The bill provides
that the State shall aseume all the debts end
liabilities of lbs several companies constituting
the Bine Ridge Railroad upon the
aurrender of the four million bouds guaranteed
by the State. The treasurer la author
isco 10 use lor Wis purpose any bonds now
In hi* possession except ihe Sterling lo*n,
and also, if necessary, lo bsne bond* of the
Stale. The Blue Ridge Railroad Company
ia authorized, if the director* deeire, to
change ila name to the Tenneaaec and South
Carolina Railroad Company, and to extend
the road and branchea anywhere within the
S'ate. All aales ol the Blue Ridge Railroad
Btock by the commissioner* of the sinking
fund are confirmed. The bill came up in
tho Senate to day and was denounced as aa
infamous measure by Lealie, Cardoso and
othera. Tbe outstanding liabilities of the
Blue Ridge Railroad were slated at between
five and eix hundred thousand dollar*, but
Senators declared that they did not know
how mueh they wero, and that the bill, aa
drawn, would authorise the issue of twenty
million, or any other amount of bonda. The
bill was finally postponed to Tueaday.
Th* general appropriation bill was introduced
It appropriates for educational expenses

Mr. Briggs introduced a curious sort of a
retolutioD, seeking lo create another high
old joint committee to follow the wake of
former investigations. It ia entitled a joint
resolution lo investigate the transactions of
the financial board and the financial agent
of the Slate, in the city of New York, with
authority and instructions to Institute what
ever legal proceed in go may be found neoesairy,
and is aa follows:
WuxrzaS, The financial board and the financial
agent of the State, in the city of
New York, have failed and declined to Alport
to the Legislature their reap?eilve
transactions ; and whereas, the failure of
said hoard and financial agent of the State
to report and give information aa to the finances
of the Sta'.e has juatly excited grave
apprehensions in the public mind, and
seemingly impaired the eredit ol the State
at home and abroad; therefore, be it
Rt?ol?ed, That attorneys, learned in
the law, are hereby employed at a fas of ?
dollars, to be paid each ot tha said attorneys
upon the warrant of tha , drawn
upon the treasurer of the State, end eeid at
torneys are hereby instructed, as early as
practicable, to make a thorough examination
and investigation of all the accounts,
vouchera and other treneeetiune of the linen
cial board and the financial agent of the
Slate, in the city of New York, with full
power and authority to send for persons
and papers, and aaid attorneys are hereby
empowered and inalrueted, in the name and
ia behalf of the State, toiaetitute aneh le g?*
proceedings aa may be proper for any illegal
or unauthorized actions on the part of either
or all the members of aaid board or aaid financial
agent, and to prefer indictments
igsinst either or all of aaid parties for embezzlement
or other fraudulent misapplication
of funda belonging to tha State. Be It
further
Retolved, That the attorneys so appointed
and instructed on behalf of the State are
hereby requested to report the resnltof their

I division by the ratio of 222 members ; by fractions,
17 members and by the constitution, 4.
Exactly tbe same result is arrived at when the
ealeulation is based on tbe representative population
of the eountry after the deductions are
made in accordance with tbe provisions of the
fourteenth amendment. The ratio in tbo latter
oase would be one representative to 167,100
people.

of the Lunatic assylum, through a committee,
of which Mr. Henry Spnrnick is chairman,
have memorialised the Legislators to
make as appropriation of $80,000, to discharge
the indebtedness of the institution, and
pay its current expenses for the residue of the
present fiscal year. Tho momorial, which is
published with the legislative proceedings appears

statement of the financial condition of the
Asylum, and the causes which have conduced
te its present crobernssmcnts, and it appeals
earnestly te the Qenerat Assembly for that rolief,
without which, as is intimated, the doors
of the institution will have to be closed, and

Tax Charleston Courier says : Forty-nine
Ku KIux prisoners, sentenced at the recent
term of the United States Circuit Court
held in Columbia, arrived in the city yesterday
by the 3.20 train of the South Carolina
Railroad. They were under a guard ot United
States soldiers. Twenty-five of them were
carried to jail, were they are to serve out their
imprisonment, and the other twenty-four left

York, en route to the prison at Auburn. The
majority, indeed nearly all of them, were very
young men, some beardless youths, whose
faces reflected anything but those elements
that make up intelligent conspirators.

Pian, in Shelby, N. G. en the 28<1 day of
November. 1871, Mrs. JULIET MOSS DAVIS,
wife of Henry O. Davis. She left an
infaal son and a kind, affectionate husband,
who already in his early manhood ha? been
msde to taste the extreme bitterneee ol that
grief, which ffowa from sundering the tlea
of oar earthly relatione. She waa the
daughter of the late Maj. Spartan Qoodlott,
of Greenville County, 8. 0. Her mother
and other memhera of the now aoettcred
family, etill tut viva her, and are agiin
plunged into grief for the loa* of another of
their number.
Mrr. Davis made a profusion of religion
about twelve or thirteen years ?f age, and
joined the Mllford Baptist Church s??n after
lltat profession. Thus ea'ly in life she
gave heraelf up to Christ, aa the rightful
Sovereign of ber heart, and from that time
to the last hour of life, amid the sunshine,
the shadows, and the darkness, through
which she passed, His will wss the law of
her li'e- Religion with her was not u mere
firofesslon, but a living principle, control
idg he affections and regulating her life ;
sometimes it was the source of her sweetest
enjoyments, and oftentimes of her greatest
comfort. In the schoolroom, where she labored
much, and in the Sabbath School,
where she wns always active, she was controlled
by a desire to do her whole duty ;
and in the doma-uio circle she seemed to b?
desirous of making others happy by making
herself Agreeable. In the early pmt of
la-t year, she wrote to a friend, saying she
had adopted, ae ber watchword tor that
year. "Watch and pray." O, that all of us
could obey the Saviour's injunction and
"Watch I" for the time is ahotl For more
than a year previous to her death, she had
been in feeble health, and aa her strength
was wearing away, she spoke ofun of h?r
decease, with calm Christian conlideoce,
and no doubt, if she regarded herself onlv
d<I her future prospec's, she felt with the
Apostle, that, "to d-part ?md be with Christ''
wo* far better.
Mrs Davis had enjoyed theadventagcaof
a solid, practical education, together with
such accomplishment* as fitted her to move
in any circle of society. Sht was singularly
genial and altrac'ive in Iter social rel >
tions. eommnnding the attention of the
stranger by a simple dignity and simplicity.
9he nn.de friends whet ever she weut, and
has I el L many devoted hearts, heyoud the
circle of her own relations, in the deepest
sadness, because " her sun has i;un? down,
while it was yet day."

brain arc too intimately allied for the one to

too, that irritation of the stomach is almost
invariably accompanied by arritation of
the temper.
The invigorating end transit (Using operation
of HOSTETTER'8 BITTERS is most
powerfully developed in eases of indigestion
The first effect of this agreeable tonic is oomforting
and encouraging. A mild glow pervades
the system, the chronic uneasiness in
tbie region of the stomach is lensenod, and
the nervous restlessness which characterises
the disease is abated. This improvement is
not transient It is not succocded by the ret
turn of the old symptoms with superadded
! torco, as is nlwnys tho case when unmudicnted
1 stimulants are given for the complaint. Each
dose teems to Hnpnft a permanent accession
I of healthful invigoration. But this is not all.
! The aperient and anti-bilious properties of the
! preparation aro scarcely secondary in finpor*
tance to its tonio virtues. If there is *tt over-'
flow of bile, the secretion is soon brought
within prop.-r limits, and if the bibiry organ
is inert and torpid It is toned nnd regulated.
Tho effect upon the discharging organs is
equally salutary, a'jd in cases of constipation
tho cathartic action is just sufficient to
pro-Jo'-o the desired result gradually nnd with
out pain. Tho Bitters also promote healthy
evaporation from the surface, which is parrticularly
