I rr [There are many circumstances connected j w Irlth the Illness and death of Mrs. (iraydon of ! Ji It peculiarly sad and touch in? nature. Her! h 1'outh?she was only nineteen years old.?her: lelicate beauty and senile sweetness?her j jj brief wedded life?for siie had been a wife for hnly tweuty-flre days,?all combined to sur- ( a, h?uiid her death with unusual niournfulness 11| Lnd to enlist and draw out the tenderest and | ,f leepest sympathies of the whole community. I j] jlo wide-spread and sincere was the sorrow at j ler illness and expected death that every qj loiisehold In Abbeville mourned as if for one 1 n t?f Its own members. Mrs. Gray don hud been confined to her bed 1 . ilmost constantly since the ?ld ilay of lust , December. For chnnjre of air she wrriton the aI id of January to the salubrious climate of w Mken, where she lived at her uncle's house. I "j? There, although under the treatment of skill- j s? 'ul physielans.it S4>on became evident that \ s! iltlniute recovery if possible at all, would cer- ? alnly not be speedy. Towards the close <> j 1 lie month or February her malady showed i nore alarming symptoms, and for some days jJ( ier life was despaired of. Her mother and i 8C dr.

Under j sc ilscharsre she was brought with utmost care to il( >i?r in Alihpvllle which she reiiehed on I the* 2nd of March. From that day until her , leath, her friends have been tilled with niter-;s* nate hopes and fours. At Inst the end came.!'{! tier last hours were painless and peaceful. :V Death eame to her an slumber comes to an in-1 Tant. It may truly be said that those who!" itood at her bedside Thou-'ht her dying when she slept , And sleeping when shedied. Iler funeral took place on Monday after- j sa noon. The pall-bearers carried the cotlln from ' H [lie Alston House to the Presbyterian church, j a where a large concourse of friends were as- 01 lembled. Rev. Mr. Martin conducted the mrial services. Thereafter the funeral eovtrge I iroceedcd to Long Unne Chnrehyurd.

J The Governor respited Itoltert McKvoy 1111- al til the 29th instant, much to the chagrin of c those who have been pursuing this poorly', friendless creature. It has been rumored here j that McKvoy Killed Gregg for the seduction ! of his sister, who was employed in the factory | over which Gregg was manager.

"In speaking of the kllllnc of Gre<jg:, for which lie was condemned to He hunp, lie said j ?j that had he (McKvoy) been put on the stand j no as a witness and bad recited the facts as they I j?| occurred, no Jury would ever have convicted] him, stating that the fatal rencouture crew j ' out of an old difliculty with Orecc in defense : ?" of the honor of his sister several years before, j u? wiille lie and his sister were quite young. j 'McKvoy hus been muIIvJ misrepresented., ' However lrnd the man may be lie ought to , do )mveJusti-?. lie Is in the hands of the law, v'' lias never hu<! an opportunity of defending * him*rlf. and to heap ujion him such nti epithet a* the flend Is to say the least unebrls- 1 tian."

The Supreme Court of Louisiana, has orderI, adjudged, and decreed that the judgment id sentence of the lower court in the case of le State against Wencral Anderson, of the j eturning Hoard, be set aside, and that the j isoner be discharged from custody. The apreme Court takes the ground tnat if the upervisors of Registration oi every parish I i the State should alter and forge every con-1 ilidated statement of votes made by each i le respectively and transinitthem thusaller-1 I and forged.to the returning otticcrs, and If j ie.se officers should canvass and compile the j >tes as the statute requires, not from these i insolidutcd suitements, but from the unalred Commissioners' returns, no injury j ou Id be suffered by any individual or by; le body politic. The supervisor's consollda-, d statement is not made by the statute the| isis of the final canvass and compilation of j ic vote, as the original returns of the Com-i ilssloners are, and hence the alteration and rgery of all of them, the returns of the Coin- j tissioiiers remaining unaltered, would not lange the result oi ths election in any par-j h. i The court says: Suppose that four Prcsi>uts of as many hanks In thiscity hail uttcrlanil published as true altered and forged insolidatcd statements of t\ie votes of any irisn in un election us inaue uy me r>upei-i Isors of Registration, and had caused the tine to be printed In the official journal un- ' ?r their signatures as Presidents of thebatiks: | ould they have been indictable therefor i nder the statute, and why not? Simply beluse they hud no legal reason or authority ) i do that act; and as no legal effect would be ' roduced by it, no one would be Injuredorde-1 ;uiiled by it. Every one is presumed to know ; le law, and therefore to khow that the per- j ins thus altering and publishing were with-: it authority to do that particularacl, and I lat it was void and of no effect when done, ence It is the essence of this crime that it' lould have been committed by a public oili-i ir whose function it was to prepare and pub<h the true canvass and compilation of the j >tes, and the averment that lie uttered and iblished the false canvass and compilation i Ills official capacity and undercolor of li is j Mce, Is essential in any information to sup-i >rt a conviction and justify a judgment' lereon.

There can be little doubt in any rational anil unprejudiced mind that the seizure of the Arlington estate was ? piece of petty vengeance during the war. and that the use of It tor wholesale burial purposed was an ignoble spite. The death of Mrs. Lee, who inherited it ill triisL lor her eldest son. from licr father. W. I*. ("ustIs, roniovod sil 1 or any title i which the United States Gobernmcnt assumed to have in the estate. As the Constitution expressly provides tlint "no attainder of trea-1 sou shall work corruption of blood or forfeits! ure except during the life of the person at-: tainted, the claim of Gen. Custis Lee to iijsj mother's property held In life-trust for lilm is) one that should not he disregarded. There: ure buried at Arlington many thousands of! Union soldiers and a few Confederates, but tliei cemetery proper does not absofb more than i twenty acres, although eighty more are included in it. out of a kind of grandeur, on the lioss Shepherd scale, aud which seems to be inherent with men who are infesting liberally with other people's money or goods, j Now the title to this cemetery, as well as to the Arlington estate in whole, is derived from a tax sale in isiii. .Indue llughcs, of the United Suites Circuit Court, in his recent decision, holds that Hiotic tax titles are worth*1 less, and that the Supreme Court of the United States has so repeatedly decided. There Is really, in law and equity, no true owner of] that estate but General Custis J,ee. and yet lie j has had difficulties,and will doubtless have many more, in securing his own. Tnestatus of the ease ut present is this: General I.ee sued fora writ of injectment against a 1111111of squatters on that pari of the farm not occupied by di':ul soldiers or used for cemetery purposes. The Attorney-General's plea for dismissal of the suit on the srounif that the United States Government was the real defendant, and could not be sued by a subject, was overruled. The ease how conies up on its merits- General I.ee's final, and we hope speedy, triumph, is generally conceded in all quarters. The best, thins; the Government can expect is an honorable compromise. We dare say General Leo is quite willing to let the Federal dead repose in peace and abandon all claim for rent or damages, during seventeen years of occupation. Hut everything else must be conceded, and it need not he any shame to the In tensest Northern Republican, when justice is doue, reparation for wrong made, and when "Hertram's right and Bertram's might, Shall stand on Ellengowan height," It is proposed in Congress to tlx a duty upon book and news type at fifteen cents a pound, and on fancy type at thirty cents a pound. This means a prohibition on the importation of foreign type, and a monopoly for the fewtype foundries in this country, and it would not bring in a cent of revenue to the government. Every paper should protest against the outrage. 4 * Send us the News.?We want our friends in all portions of the county to send us the news from their respective sections, so that we may keep everybody posted about home affairs.
