The work of seen i Ins subscriptions to the Capital stock of :i hank :it Abbeville progresses The amount uciunlly subscribed is Willi about jsS.tUKi which is ij?lly promised. It would seem to us thill the hank is an ai?oititc necessity f.>r the commercial lil'v <>f tintown. We cannot exist us a commercial mart 11 onr merehantsarecoinpcUed to pay twentylive per cent, for the use of money during the busy season. To pay Charleston bankers or factors ten per cent, interest, anil then pa} Jl.V) forfeit on every thousand dollars IsS.'.TOot Interest on a Sl.flOS). it need not he denied thai onr merchants are paying charcca wiiicii makes the above llgures approximately correct. The Ciiarleston factor furnishes money to the merchant conditioned for the payment of Interest, and conditioned a!: o that he shall send cotton to the factor, the number of bales beingusually one hundred t'orevery thousand doM.irs of borrowed money, or else the merhaitt must forfeit a sum, usually one dollar ftiid a half a hale. As long as there was no competition in buying cotton at Abbeville - - * ? ' ~ 1?1<" the forfeiture 01 uic uuuar uuu ii ! ?> ?. iiccU not necessarily hurt the merchant,:;s lie could mnke that deduction in the purchase ot the cotton, but now* when the factories send their agents herewitli money In their pockets to pay in cash Augusta or Charleston prices to the planters for their cotton It will be seen that the merchant is compelled to make pood the actual loss or the dollar and a hail a bale on a hundred bales for the use of a thousand dollars. It need not be denied that theagent* <>f the factories do payor can jay for cotton ?i)>proxitnatins Charleston or Auausta prices. These ascitis ship their cot Jon by the car load tlireet lo the mills, without being subject to 1 ictor's charges lor drayngo, repairs, insurance, wharfcige, storage, or commissions, and 'without any of the oilier disadvantages reMilting from re-fhipment. With these facts staring us In tlie facc, It Fccms strange to us tlint we make ro much r.do about additional railroad facilities from here to Aiken.and niako so little elibrt to re* | liovo ourselves of an embarrassment, which j l.s so much greater. To get money at a cost (>1 j twenty-live percent, the merchant must noo* c?arily add to the pi lcc o:' his goods to make j ?;ood his heavy interest, and this, more than j any little freight account,!s what hurts Abbe* j \lllc. For instance, there has, we belic-vo, j never been more than a quarter of a cent a! pound diflcroncc between Abbeville andj Greenwood in the freight on bacon, rum ycii vp are told Ih.it merchants at Greenwood! wore fuelling bacon on lion at nine cents uj pound, while Abbeville merchants chargcd eleven cents for the prune. There Is a cause for this difference in the credit price for bacon, nt Abbeville and Greenwood. other than the, quarter of a cent In freight. Where it lswej do not pretend to fay. The Greenwood mer-j chrnt may have charged l^ss than a legitimate profit. Vvc hardly think the Abbeville inercbant.would charge too much. Is ft not! possiblo tisat our high rate ot Interest hiulj something to do with the charge which was] made by our merchant? If bacon costs 6?; cente a pound at Greenwood, nnd 7 cents at! Abboville, It would Focm that the Abbeville merchant must necessarily charge a traction I more for his bacon than the Greenwood mer-j chant, but the one-fourth cent additional cost alone, would not warrant the additional! charge of two cents a pound against theeus-j tomerat Abbeville, lint if the Abbeville mer-j cliant has to pay Charleston an equivalent to twenty-five per cent, for the use of inoiK-y, while the (irec.i wood merchant mny get his mo:iey from Augusta or elsewhere at legitimate rates of Interest, it will be seen that bacon actually costs the Abbeville merchant S-4^ cents a pound. Iteml/.ed, if you choose: Cost: of bacon and freight charges 7 cents. Cost of j money with which to buy the bacou per pouud; 1 % cents?making the actual cost of bacou at1 Abbeville S% cents a pound. If Iho Greenwood merchant gets his money on note in i bank at Augusta or clsewheie, lie will pay at! the rate ol twelve or thirteen percent, per an - ? ? !-- ~r i.iol num. including uiscouium, iui mv u> >.<> casli, but he will seldom use Ills money for a longer period than six months?the cost then l>elng from 0 to 6J? per cent, to the Greenwood merchant, Instead o( twenty-flvo per cent, ns to the Abbeville merchant. If we had a bank In Abbeville our merchants could get money on as good terms as iho Greenwood merchant, and, If he does so, there need bo no perceptible difference In the price of goods at Abbevillo and Greenwood. To secure these advantages we uiust havo a Lank. It is a necessity with us. A Xce<lo?I Lnn. f>omo time ago wo suggested that wc have j "a close season," soy from the lirstof March to the first of October, during which time It i vhould bo unlawful to kill negroes. It really j i<ooniK thut the negroes p.ro entitled to as much pro'ectlon as Is accorded to the difler-, A-nt kiuds of wild game. This protection Is needed not so much on account of the negro himself, ns on accounl^of the evil effects resulting In tho reduction of the crop products. Tho killing of negroes between the first of March and tho first of October to any great ?xtcnt, is, In our opinion, highly reprchonsl* ble, and will lnterforo with tho making of all kinds of crops, und hence seriously retard the i material acvciopmeni 01 mo umnui. mi our bumble Judgment a penalty should baal- j flxed for the crlmo of killing a negro, Just ^;s tticre :s for killing a Jeer, or a wild tmkery If such a law existed and was enforced we llilnk this sudden murderous outbreak In tho killing of negroes In July, before the crops ure gathered, might be averted. Another matter, which wo think deserves ntteution, Is the fixing of bail by our Supreme und Circuit Judges. Tho lilea of a.Supremo Judge fixing the bond of tho slayer of a negro In July, aud in the midst of tho crops, at twenty-five hundred dollors is opposed to the public policy of the country. In fact, it teems to us that it would be more In aecord with the dignity of tho office of a Supreme Ju<lgo if that oflleer should refuse, until the ? rops were gathered, to admit to his presence any man who had yet tho smell o( nogro l>'ood on his hands. There seems to be uo earthly use la killing a negro In July. Those persons who may be interested in the dls-1 i) 1UU1.101) 01 liiu trujis usuuiij iiiii v ouiuu (/rv.-loxt for killing in tho Fail tho negro who made his crops. Tho negro, ana rule, wants *->me portion of the crop which he has made and. when he Insists on any part of It, then It Is perfectly right, and tho whito man is perloctly Justifiable In killing hi in. lie may feel entirely safo from punishment by law, if he *eeurcs the services of his "peers'* nt the trial, and tho history of tho pnst furnishes an ^vldenco of tho promptness with which a Jury of his "peers" will exonerate him from all bhunc.in killing r.n impudent negro for claiming part of the crop which had been made by his own hilar. If our Supremo and Circuit Judges would I refuse ball to men who kill negroes during! the crop time, they would certainly do much I to postpone their killing until the "opeu ?ea-1 .Mm." As we believe nine out of ten killings ! ?if negroes Is deliberate, willful, and malicious murder, these peoplo could very well afford to put ofl the killing until after the crops vere gathered. Asa rule gcnlemen seldom find any Inclination or necessity for the killing of a neigh*: l>or, and when a man kills another, it may , l>osafely set down, that he belongs to a class) 4if citizens to whom neither the Supreme] t'ourt, nor the Circuit Judges, nor the peace, i loving citizens ot a community are under any : special obligation. As these people voluntar Jly kill their neighbor,they should at least be ! compelled to lie in tail until Court, or else) %valt until the sitting of tho Court, to do llieir killing, so that they may have an Immediate trial. We sec it stated that pome hanging Is needed In our neighboring county of Laurens. We fully believe that there 1b absolutely no prelection to life in that county, and if the law Is never to be onforced, we should have good reason to fear the some condition of altalrs in this county. Abbeville county needs somej wholesome enforcement of the law, if nny country on tho face of tho earth over needed it, and it remains to be ju-cn whether our Jurors will perjure themselves and turn this country, soul mid hotly, over over to the rule of desperadoes nnd pistol-carrying gentry, who do continually set law and decency aud order at defiance. It our memory serves us correctly no man lias ever su tiered for the killing of any negro In this county or in this Judicial IHstiiej, and %ve presume scores of negroes and white men too, now sleep iu their bloody graves because our Jurors disregard the peace am! goo-1 order ut society and wash the gore from redhanded murderers? sending them free to liuut auother victim, and to further insult tlie respectability CI our jvujuc, miu Mini moredeliberation, anil, If possible, wlili more devilish atrocity, set asiilc tho laws of the land, nml trample under foot the shield >vhicb the law In Its cowardice, and In Its xhiinie refuses to extend to the humblest of its citizens.

In the laceof the published statements In! reference to the dili'erent killings, and in fsicc: | of the following words of the Constitution, our Supreme mid our Circuit Judges continue | to grant hail, ns far as we havo noticed, to almost every applicant who has slain his i Tl-.e or-:ii;!e law of Soil til Cat'Ollua J ' provides that: ] ,-.\!l per.-oas slull, l-pforc conviction, he IimIuMc by i siiflioi-nt surcti. s, crcr/it for raj.iltit opine s, wlii-n ' the I'Vcmf is cvi-lrnt or die prvitump!k>n is urea!." \ If "the proof Is evident or the presumption j is groat" that a murder has been committed . neither the Supreme Indies r.or the 1,'ireult i Judges have a scintilla of lawful authority to crant boil, and when these high olHcers do j grant bail to murderers, they \i.-tuaily fay to ' the country, the "proof is not evident nor is.1 tlie ]>toMJinpt:on rreat." Tt:oy thus prejudge ! a ease, and pive the murderer the benefit of that high official Judirmc:i!, and the people are as competent Fs we are to say whether thai Judgment l:? an enforcement of the law.

Section 1000 of the General Statutes, proscribing the duties of School Commissioner, j says: . "It shall be the duty of each County School Com- i inlaMoner to aid the tmc'ieis In nli proper ( Hin ts to Improve themselves In their profession. For this pur- I pose in' fliull eiiC'iisrui;'- the fonmiUon of association* I of teachers for common improvement. lie shall at I tend the meetings of Mich associations ami give such t ailvicc ami Instruction In recurd to their conduct anil 1 management a, In hisJudgment will contribute to I their greater etllclency." Scction 1002 says: "He shall, when deemed ftilvi&itilc by the County Iloar<l of Ex?miucr?, apportion from the Income ol tin- two mi l lax 11 sum not exceeding 42U0, to tltfray the expcimrj of Teachers' Itiatitiitea,*1 From t!io above it M ill be soon that the Institute whs organized in compliance with the espress provisions of tlto school law, aiul we think there can be 110 doubt as to tho wisdom of the law, and the beucilcial influence of the Institute. The expense is a mere trillc, when distributed over tho county, while tho advantages which pupils derive from tho Improvement of the toucher will repay (enfold. If the immense amount of the tux-payer's money which is spent in teaching negroes is lo be commended, then we see no reason why the slight expense attendant upon the effort to aid tho white teachers of our own children should be rcsretted. If the publicroceivosan adequate return for the money extorted from us to teach negro children, thou how much | better are we repaid when we spend a part of , that money iu training and educating onr 1 own tci'chers ? The only persons whom wo think have the I least pretext for complaining are the colored people. The expense (*100.00) of this Institute : was taken from tho school fund of tho county 1 ?of this amount one-half was taken from the whites anil one-half from the colored people. The colored }>eople claim the right to a division of the school money, but they get 110 part ol the SIC-'l.OO which was paid as cxpenres ol the white Teachcrs' Institute. For our own port, wo should not oljoct, 1/ tho School Commissioner spent half the whole school fund, instead of S1G0, In teaching our teachers how to teach. This would certainly boa moreprolltablo Investment than that of money spent in negro education. This, too, would certainly bo better than the J act of raising the salaty of our tcachcrs without increasing their usefulness. j Wo are by no means an enthusiast on the 1 subject of educating anybody at public exi pense, but when the fund is raised, we prefer [ to sec tho people who contribmo most, receive :vt least a fair sh-iroof tbc money. N !netcntbs of the school fund is raised l>y the white people, and we see no reason for denying our white teachers thobcneiltof h portion of It merely for the purpose of adding to the I fund for the education of those who pay so iittie. A llitHt-onrt ApMit's Soli<'ll'itIc for Ilio linpp U:cs.v <ii .>? ? ?-j V.'ouioii. The j\Y?t'tsri'l'l Or>u;\'cr prints a dlspate'; from Atlanta in whichaiinccoitnt Is given of lawless desperadoes mailing an innocent immigration azet.t, in I.nurons county who had come to that part ol the county "to get six negro women who wanted to go to lirlnkly, Ark., to join their huM>*n>ls v. ho emigrated there last 1V.11, 'lud who had sent money to pay tlx women's c.xpe:r.e-;. 'i'fce JW m a y.! CSn>*?*.v think*-, if the story, as printed, Is I rue, the actum of thcpe people in i-aare:is in inteifering with meddlesome Immigration agents "is n disgrace to the State." of course we know very litllo of the fact?, but the story itself does not inipresn us as being in accord with the facts. In the flrss place, if any negro woman in Laurens county wanted to go to J her husband in Arknu>a?, there would be no IICCCftMlJ 1VI a'.-ll'illlH ? lu.liuiu cm her. To <?;ic who Knows nothiug of llio facts, it stems extremely kind of tin- railroad authorities to send agents to scour tlic country 1 in scarcli of negroe's wives, whom they had !"ft In this .State. fjuch acts in ihe interest of the domestic felicity of the negro is without a parallel. Now, we think the truth of the whole mat- j ter is simply this. The immigration agent went to Uuircns, and witn seductive prom- ; iscs. had induced a number of negroes to engage to go to the West with him, regardless of their contracts to labor in the crops. The ! farmers who had employed them became incensed. and "advised Milam to quit the country quickly," which advice It seems Milam I took. We have reason to believe that the I planters of tills section have been greatly | injured jmd annoyed by the presence o' agents among their laborers, and while the men of Laurens may liavo violated the written law of the land, yet they obeyed the law of self-protection. We believe the immigration agent who seeks to disturb the labor of the country i< a public enemy, and that if he gets away from the country with his lite, he i lias reason to congratulate himself. We | believe the people of Waterloo are perfectly excusable, ir not jnsiiiiaoio, i?>r iinir ncis, i it ml wo hopo tint every oi.her railroad :isu:it may lure as Milam did, it lin y r.o nosing I around our fu n!*- to induce our labor from' on-- flobls.

He said lieillil not intend to deliver an address, lint Mint he would endeavor to talk to the teachers of the Institute as a teacher talks to Ills pupils,?ns he tried to l."lie to his school-boys when he was :v sc!ioi:l-:ii:;'tej'. This was his under-danding of the kind of work proper to n Noriniil Institute; and therefore he would for the time being regard himself as a tetteher In a class-loom', with Use Kuglish class before him, , the members of the Institute being his pupil*. 'J'he rc:;di:ia lesron, he said, was too oi'tc:. a humdrum, lifeless ia-k, we&rlvotnc to the teacher profitless to the jMi'iIi; whereas it ought to lie and oou'.d lie mii w the most, onI ti:ri3lv.in;;a.i?! valuable leusoi: of the day,,and . the tne:::is of a thorough study of the J."n;;l!f>h ! iatigtii'se.

An-I rend th. ir history In a nation's eves, 1 Their lut f.irbade. Tito teaclior, he said, should cnrefnllj* rend the lesson aloud to hi* pupils, making thetn mnrlc in pencil the rhctoricai pauses, which , In tills stanza would fall after "Senates," ! "ruin" and "plenty." such pauses being often of greater value in bringing out the moaning, ' than iiio piinted punctuation. The class 1 should then read the lesson uii together, not" ing tlie pencilled and printed pauses; and ' then each pupil should read u i art of it by > himself. The tcacher should also make his pupils undeiline with pencil thirty or forty wordc In ! each day's lesson, as a lesson in the ocftiillinn 1 and derivation of words. Th-sc should be written by the pupil inn book kept for the 1 purpose, wherein he should set forth not only the moaning but also the history of each won). ' Helped by a good dictionary, the pupil would 1 thusnci|ulro an Intimate acquaintance with liio J'jtiftUMi language, ana no sugui acquaint" anco with the languages, living and dead, from which It lias borrowed great part of Its ' vocabulary. To Illustrate his system. Mr. llenot carefully < detlned and derived the following words, found In the lines written on the blackboard : The.npplar.se, Senates, comma ml. pain, ruin, despise, scatter, plenty, o'er, hind, read, his' tory. nation's, eyes, lie showed that these ' English words referred the student to (Ireek, > Latin, French, Norman-Frcnch, German. Dutch, Anglo-Saxon and other languages and ' diaiecls; and thus that the thorough study ' of an English sentence was in llscll avalua: bio lesson In languages, and that the study 1 of the English language involved the history of the English race, lie then spoke of the eharacterlsllcs of the ' English language,referring especially toils J strength, sweetness and simplicity. 'J'liege1 nius of our mother tongue, lie said, did not fa vor "words of learned length and thundering 1 sound," but preferred words of one or two syl' tables, and these chiefly of Anglo-Saxon origin. As an example which showed the beau1 ty and force of simple English worils, he referred to the following lines from Tennyson's ; "Lady Clare [ lie iloeB not lovo inc for tny birth. Nor lor my lands so hrcail and fsir; He loves ait- for my own true worth, ' Atul that Is well, said Lady Clare. t There is no word of foreign descent in these lines,?neither Creek, nor l.atin, French nor ; German; and with the exception of "lady," the words are all of ono syllable. As a contrast, Mr. llenet read tlio following extract from a copy of verses written by a ? lnvo-lorn swain, and printed In thcoliluoof the Abbeville J'rt-.u and Jhtnncr several years - ago;?they refer to the wedding day he longs for: O! methi-.kf I see that consummate day, Plodding onward, ushering this way, r In which the vertiginous anticipations slintl cud JSy the vinculum of two gchi.il fiictids, 1 And tranfforin tlie-e Utopian imaginations r Into real and intrinsic manipulations. As the best means of obtaining n pure and > complete English vocabulary, Mr. Hcnet urged the comnilltiug to memory daily of 1 portions ol Scripture?not the Revised Version?or of the Hook of Common Prayer, or ; of the poetry of Shakespeare, Milton, Tcnny" son, Jjryden and other standard poets, lie . citeu the example ofKuslcin, whose match' less style as a pfosewriter is owing greatly to . bis habit from childhood of learning large I | portions of Scripture daily, nml the example r of the greatest living Knglish orator, John Bright, whoso daily custom it is to co>nmit to memory a portion of Scripturo or u passage . from the standard poets of our latiguag. , Hucli a eoursc, Mr. lionet said, would raise the standard of tnMe, and purify our vocabu[ Juries; it would, for instance, prevent a man ] from using such words as '-donate," ' dona, tIon,** and sliow him tha' ho Is using purer , English when be speaks of giving a nift." The foregoing Is a very iniperfect synopsis of Mr. ilciict'H remarks, r . ( BOUQUET OF THOUGHTS. - Tallin from Various Npcnltcrs in Short if'oriii, an.l Sirmia: T<>^r<l>vr [ in it lliuicii. r Mr. V.

A few minutes be tore S o'clock Drs. Douglas, fl Shrady and Sands stood on the cottage veran- ' dn, con versing of the comllllon of Gen.

Henry,-Die nurse, stopped hastily upon the .1 piazza mid spoke quietly to the physicians. , Keloid 1110111 he thought that the General was f very near to death. The medical men hastily ' entered the room whore the sick man was ly- . Irig.nnd approached his side. Instantly upon , scanning the patient's face Dr. Douglas order- . ed the family 10 be summoned to the bedside. , Haste was made, and Mrs. Grant, Mr. Jesse , (irant and wife. IT. H. (Irani. Jr., and wife and '' Mrs. Col. Grant were quickly beside fhedoc- 1 tors at the siek man's eoi. Mrs. Sarlorls and Mr. Iiawson had followed the doetois in from the piazza, and I lie entire family was present, f except Co!. Fred, Grant. A hasty summons ' was sent for him, but hecntered tho sick room , wliile the messenger was senrciiing for him. 'I'lio Colonel seated himself at the it end ol the bed, Willi his left arm resting upon the pillow . above the head of the General, who was breathing rapidly mid Willi slightly gasping , respirations. Mrs. Grant, calm, but Willi In- . tense agitation bravely suppressed, took a j seat close by tho bedside. Kbe leaned slightly upon the cot. resting upon her right elbow and gazing with tear-bllnded eyes into the General's face. She found there, however, no token of recognition, for flic siek man was po-icfullv and painlessly passing Info anoth- ! cr life. Mrs. Sarlorls came behind h^r mother, and leaning over her shoulder witnessed . the close of the lift' in which she had constl- . tuted so strong an eleinentof pride. Directly , behind Mrs. Grant and Mrs. Sarlorls, and al a litt le distance removed, slood I)is.

Otherwise the entire lamiiyaud household were gathered at the bedside of the dying m.iii. 'J'ho members ol the group had i been summoned not a moment sooner than i was provident. The doctor* noted, on entering the room and pressing to !he bedside, that already the purplish tinge, which Is one of nature's signals of final dissolution, bad settled beneath the linger nails. The hand that Mr. Douglas listed was fast crowing colder < than it had been through Iho night, the pulse had fluttered beyond the point where (lie physician could distinguish it from the pnlso beats in Ids own finger tips, tiio respiration was very rapid and was a succession of shallow panting inhalations, but happily the approaching end was becoming clear of the rattling fulness of tlie throat and lungs, and as the respirations grew rapid and nv.ac rapid at the close1 hey also became less labored and almost noiseless. This fact was a comfort to the watchers by the bedside. to whom was spared the sight of an agonizing or other than peaceful dealh. The wife almost constantly KiroUcd the face, forehead ami hands of tins dying General,nnd at times, as a passionate longing to prevent the event so near would rise within liiT, Mrs (Jrau'.pressed both his iiandsand, leaning forward, tenderly kissed the face of the sinking man. Col. Fred, Grant sat .silently but v;ii It evident feeling, though his bearing was that of a soldierly son at the deathbed of a hero father. U. 8. Grnnt, Jr., was ileeolv moved, bul Je?se bore the seetio stead ily, and tlio litdlc.s, while watching with wet chucks, were silent as boll Mod the dignity of a life such as was closing beforo them. The morning had passed fifty minutes beyond 7 o'clock, and tliero was not one of tlio strained and waiting watchers but could mark tlio nearness of the life-tide to lis final ebbing. Dr. Douglass noted the nearness of the supreme moment and quietly approached the bedside and bent over it, and wiiilc he did so the sorrow of the gray-haired physician seemed closely allied with that, of the family. l)r. Hhrsuly also drew near. It was 11 \e minutes of b o'clock and the eyes of the General wero closing, his breathing grew more hushed and the hist functions of the heart nnd lungs were hastened to the ending of the ex-President's life. The peaceful expression seemed to be deepening In the llrm and strong lined face, anil it was reflected nsn closing comfort in the l sad hearts that bent quickly under the stress of loving suspense. A minute more passed and was closing as the General drew a deeper breath. There was an exhalation like that of one relieved ol a long and anxious tension. Members of the group were impelled each to step nearer the bed ami each awaited another respiration, but it never came. There was absolulo stillness in the room and a hush of ex peetant suspense, nml no sound broke the alienee save tlio singing of the birds In the pines outside the cottage and the measured throbbing of the engine that all night had wailed by the little mountain depot down the slope. "XT IS ALL OVER,'' quietly spoke Dr. Douglas, and lliero came then heavily to each witness tlie icallzatlon that Gen. Grant was dead. Then the doctors I withdrew, tlio nurso closed tlio eyelids and composed the dead General's head, after which each of the family group pressed to t lie bedside, one after another, and touched their lips upou the quiet face so lately elided. HP.. NEWMAN'S DI3APPO!NTS!K2(T. Dp. Shrady passed out on I lie piazza, and as he did so met Dr. Newman hastening up the steps, "lie Is dead,'* remarked the doctor quietly. The fact of his having been absent fioni 111 c side of the dying man and his family at I he last moment was cause of severe and sad regret to llie clergyman, who hud wailed all night at the cottage. He had been summonid fiom his breakfast a moment too late ami reached the cottage only in time to minister to llie family sol row and gaze upon the scarcely hushed lips of the dead General, to whom Dr. Newman's love had bound him iu such close ties aiul relations. Those who saw and knew and all who learned ot the clergyman's absence from the death-bed, quickly spoke their Impulse of hearty sympathy. Tnklns; n Plaster Cast of tlio General'* Face After Death. Twenty minutes after the death of Gen. Grant, Karl Gerhard, tho Hartford sculptor, who has been making si si tidy here of the Geueral, was summoned to the cottage, at tho suggestion of Dr. Newman, to make a plaster mask of the dead man's face, lie was highly successful. Within half an hour after the General's decease the waiting engine at the mountain depot was on the way to Saratoga to bring an undertaker to place the remains on let* to-day, to await the arrival of the New York undertaker who has been summoned and who is now on his way lure. Details and arrangements touching the remains while they remain hero and unlit they arrive in New York are in charge oI Joseph W. Drexel and \V. J. Arkell. At this writing tlie physicians are desirous of having a post-mortem examination, but the family are said to be averse, and that is a matter yet to be determined. A week ago the General is said to have Intimated that If he should die here during hot weather ho would liref.T that bis remains should remain hero mi til cooler {weather, llie purpose being to spare Ills family the end and fatiguing Journey in sullry weather. It is doubtful, however, if Hits suggestion Is fully carried out. altliou ;!i it is not unlikely that the remains may stay here some days. This, however, is entirely at the disposal of Col. Fred. Grant, to whom Is left entire control of alt arrangements relative to his father's remains. The family of Gen. Grant have been constantly in receipt of messages of sympathy .-in.'i: the announcement of the General's death was sent out this morning, among the tlrii being shut from President Cleveland.

Onr estimable contemporary, tho Lavven*villi 1/eraid, will perceive, If It will kindly refer to our article on tho subject that tho ivcirs and Courier did not "Intimate" that "lawlessness re'.gned snpremo" In Lanrens county. Wo merely said that "there is an outburst of lawlessness in Laurens county, which needs explanation." We say so still, and should it be our opinion, at any time, that lawlessness reigns supremo in Lanrens, we shall, although with reluctance, unhesitatingly say so, and In denouncing it wo shall liopo to receive the countenance and support of law-abiding men in Laurens, whether they boa majority or minority of the people there. Our remarks concerning thooutbursloflawlCi snuss are fully borne out, we think, by the account given by the LauremviUe Herald of the Irby row. Irby, according to the Herald, admits that he had determined that I'almor should bo whipped by a negro; that he, Irby, was armed with a pistol at the time the negro attacked Palmer; that after the row he got drunk and excited, and arined himself with a Winchester rilie, in addition to the pistol before referred to, and that under these eircumstauces ho assaulted Mr, Fluss. Irby says, also, that he violated tho law, and that ho Is ready to abide the consnquenecs. This manarmed first with a pistol, and afterwards with a pistol and Winchester rifle?was apparently master of tho town for the time; and the extraordinary admission is made that the sheriff, the peace otlicer of the county, did not nrrest him, infuriated and armed as ho was, because the sheriff had no warrant for him. Tho arrest was not made until two or three days afterward, and Irbv Is now at liberty on ball. Irby, as we said, admits his guilt, and the utmost that our contemporary can bring Itself to say is uuu, "ii loumi pum.v, uu win uv ,, punished accordingly. Tbe guilt Is admitted. j Where then Is tho doubt of conviction, unless it is believed that Irby can fix the Jury? Another offence which wo mentioned was n !he murder of a colored boy mimed Bennett hy a white man. The /Murcn*vit/c Ifevahl says f thnt every possible effort is being exerted to ferret out tho perpetrator. In its llrst account i. or the murder it wild: "We learn that the . klilingof the negro boy was thought by some to have been tiiooutgrowth of a light which iho deceased recently lirul with a white man ? ot the neighborhood; others say that the lie- " gro was killed by the brother of a respectable I young lady of the community, about whom, It is sci'i. the murdered negro had been using ? some very dlsrospeotful language." Ifrtitll- ' cult to uudeftt;:ml l!.. ru should have ? been knowledge of the tight without any 1 knowledge of tho person with whom tho light wits had, and knowledge of the alleged slan- <J (lets without an acquaintance with t(:e name 1 of the brother of the lady said to have been slandered. There is the trail. It is broad and g open. What efforts have been made to track g the murderer? There la something wrong, we fear. Klght on tho top of the ruffianism in which c Irby tin ii red. and tiie murder of Bennett, ! comes the statement of an Atlanta paper that e. man named Milam, tin emigration nsent, Ins been unmercitully beaten li> Laurens; that he was shot at, one of tho billie s making r. hole iii the crown of his hat. and ihat one of Iho leaders of the mob is a member of the Legislature. II is reported likewise ihat this Is not the f!rst outrage of the kind in Laurens county. Weshall not pretend to say, without j { ail investigation, Unit the statements 01 iuc k Atlanta paper arc true; but tlioy have an us- j, ly look, taken In connection Willi tho Irby . business and the Uenuclt murder " AVe assure cur I'ricmls In I<aurcns that our o purpose In exposing:ami denouncing; crime Is 0 to arouse the public to a sense of tho dunirer of lawlessness In every shape and form. Tills 11 accomplished, judges and juries will not. lail a of their duty. This result reached and erimlmils promptly and sulliciently punished, the lawlessness will speedily diminish ordiauj- Cl pear. b Au Iustancn of Executive ('lemtncy iiikI I5ie Rontons Therefor. [.AVici and Courier.] Governor Thompson has commuted thesentcncc of Samuel Crawfoul, colored, who was convicted at the June term of I'oitrt for Lancaster county of the murder of K. Hood, also colored. Crawford was sentenced by Judge ? \Vltherspoo:i to be Iningfil on theillst instant. Instead lie will jro to the Penitentiary for life. A petition for 1 tie commutation of the commutation of the sentence to ten years' imprisonment was numerously signed. Anions the signers were all the Jurors in the ease, the county oillcersand many members of the li:ir of Lancaster. The verdict ot the Jury was: "(Sillily, with recoininendallon lolhe mercy I nl the Com I." The petilion stales Hint this 1 verdict was found sifter the jury had lelurncd to the Court room and n?kcd tho Judge whether they could recommend the prisoner lo mercy; and when lliey were so Informed I hey brought in such a verdict, supposing il would enable the.lud^e to imposea less punishment than death. The Solicitor ytves a lengthy account of tho circumstances of the u:ise. In which he says: "The prisoner was convicted of murder and onienccd accordli'j; to the requirement- of en ihe law.
