rbe Powing pretty lines from the pen of our -x-,ownsian, Gen. A. C.

Kough Carolina's Experiment. We-print elsewhere an intensely in Wrestiag l*tter from Sovth Carolina, o thi polities of that miserable and despoiled State. dSouth Carolina, having vainly op. posed straight democracy, to pure radi calism, for a series of long and weary .years, now exeentes, as a last and des pente resort, a flank movement. Sosdth Carolina resorts to-day to the same coup d'etat that redeemed Vir ia iu 1869. Immediately after the war Virginia had saddled upon her s Governor, by her large negro ma jority, one of the worst men that ever ursed any State, a Mr. Wells, of Maine.. ]eeling confident that in a raight fight he could not be whipped, and yet too well assured that he must le whipped in some way or other, they m-vaded the ranks of his own party, selecting Mr. Gilbert C. Walker, one of the strongest republicans in the State, and a wan in whose person ,i tegrity they had confidence, the :e&66ats placed their standard in his 1as, and asked him to bear it throug -eattle.

The King of the F-ji Islands has formally and unconditionally ceded his whole domain to England. A marriage was recently celebrated in Paris between a dwarf and a giantess, the former forty inches high and the latter six feet.

The following simple remedy,to be applied to the wound inflicted by a rabid dog. is said to have been used with great success in ii Leipsic, and to some extent in this country: t "Wash the bite thoroughly with warm vine-! gar. and then pour on it a few drops of mu riate acid." The remains of Lorenzo Dow, the noteo. J revival preacher, who died in Georgetown. Mass., in 1834, were unearthed recently, their resting place having been sold for building lots. The skeleton was perfect, and on the breast-bone lay the long white beard. A portion of the camlet wrapper in which he was buried was undecayed. Ex-Senator Sawyer, late of South Carolina, but now of New York city, is a defau!ter for a large sum. He owed the large balance while lie was Assistant Secretary of the I'reasury. The fact was then known in the department, but no little matter like that is ever thrown up against a man in official cir cles now-a-days. He claims that be can ac count for the balance, but as he continues to postpone a settlement on one pretence and another, his claim is growing weaker. He can at least substantiate a claim to as much virtue as the rest of his crowd. The changes in Congress resultilg from the electiont so far held this vear may be estima ted from yet imperfect returns as follows: In. diana will be represented in the Forty-fourth Cungre.s by five republicans and eight demo crats, the laitter being a gain of five; North Carolina one republican and seven democrats, the latter gaining two: Ohio seven republicans and thirteen democrats, the lattergaining six.

The decline of trade which has been so marked in the United States.-has not, it seen, been confined to this country. From the quarterly report of the British revenue, which has just reached here, it is shown that there has been a very sensible diminution in the trade of that empire. The recent reduc tien of taxation made by the English minis try has, of course, something to do with the falling off in the revenue, but the largest portion of the decrease is from other items. For the quarter ending September 20, the decrease was ?t,860,885, the decrease in customs being 410,000, or less than one third of the total decrease, The Lee Meinorial Mlonuent.

The warrants of appoiniment, t< .,.er w.msith the oa. o off.ce waill t Don't forget that Gen. McGowan will speak in Newberry on Thursday. Last Tuesday's Diflculty. It is a noticeable point, and one which we record with no little pleas ure and satisfactioit, that no attempt was made by the Republican press to distort the facts in relation to the deplorable and unfortunate affair which too'k place on the streets of our other wis peaceable town on Tuesday last. That it was simply one of those acei dents which grow out of the indulgence of uhiskey, and one which 'law abiding and quiet loving people cannot always foresee or prevent, no one of any reason could dispute, and as such has it been presented to the public. It had no reference whatever to poli tics, t6. whole and prime cause Hng drink. It is altsiust too late uou -an entire week having elapsed and our readers already being in possession of the circumstances-to give a detailed history of the affair, suffice it then to say, that the citizens of Newberry were entirely innocent of it, and that town marshal Bluford lost his life in the eflurt to arrest disorderly characters who were trying to force persons from the side-walk. The prompt al.tion of the citizens of Newberry in public meeting asseibled is sufficient evi dence that such riotous and bloody proceedings are not only strongly con den.ed, but that the law will be maintained, and such measures will be taken as will quell anything of a like kind again. We heartily coincide in these sentiments, and hope that when ever again an anusual number of per sons assemble in town, either for pur poses of amusement, as on the late occasion. or on election days, that a police force of sufficient number be placed on the streets as will insure quiet and strike terror to disorderly characters. The part taken in quelling the riot, and preventing further bloodshed, by the Intendant, Col. Pope, Sheriff Car rington, Deputy Sheriff Sligh-the latter of whew received several slight wounds-and the entire police force, entitles them to the thanks of the community, for they did heroic work in preventing what at one ~time bid fair to be a general and wide-spread scene of blood. There were other citizens also who did good work. The excitement of the colored peo ple was intense and without sufficient Swarrant, and their great anxiety to shed white blood rendered the scene one of fea-ful character long to be 'remembered, and the passion exhibit ing itself in a purpose to take the execution of the law into its own hands is greatly to be condemned. Thanks are also due the officers of the garrison with their command for promptness in rallying to the call m ade by the Council.and for their part in restoring peace. It is but just to ay, too, and it afi$rds us no litt'e satisfa-t.ion, that among the colored people were many who helped largely to preserve the peace and aid the proper officers in the discharue of their duties. We trust never to witness such a disgraceful riot again. The proceedings of the citizens' meeting atre published in another column. Hieavy Loss on Sawdust..

Moses requested to act as Secre tary. At the request of the chair Mr. Y. J. Pope stated the object of the meeting and offered the following resolutions: In view of the serious and bloody disturbance of the public peace, which occurred in the Town of Newber,y on yesterday, the 20th inst., we, the peo ple of Newberry, in meeting asSem bled, seize this the earliest moment to deplore such an occurrence as a public calamity, and to denounce the conduct of all persons in any way connected with it. To more distinctly declare or views and purposes it is Resolved, 1. That any unlawful conduct, especially when the same is calculated to lead to the shedding of human blood, meets with our unqual ified disapproval and coudemnation. 2. That the perpetrators (if the f,ul deed committed in our midst on yes teeday, whereby the life of HAnry Blu "ord, a policeman of tl c Town of New berry, was taken while in the dis charge of his offi.ial duties, should be held to a strizt accountability before the law, and we call upon the Solicitor of this Circuit to use his utmost ef forts to bring the guilty to speedy punishment. 3. That we view with serious dis pleasure the actious of certain parties, whose conduct during yesterday seem ed only calculated to set the law at de fiance, by taking its execution into their own hands. 4. That we pledge ourselves to su; tain the County and Town officials who are charged by law with the pre servation of the public peace. 5.* That these resolutions and the proceedings of this meeting bz pub lished in our County papers. Mr. Pope spoke in support of the resolutions and was fullowed by Mr. W. H. Thomas, Mr. George John stone, Mr. Joseph D. Boston and Mr. Thos. S. Moorman. On motion of Major J. K. G. Nance the resolutions were unanimously adopted. Mr. Pope read the following letter which on motion was ordered to be printed with the proceedings of the meeting: NEWBERRY C. H.. S. C.. Oct. 21st, 1874. Y. J. Pope, F&q., DEAR Sii:-A previous engage i ment, and the uncertainty of the hour to be fixed for the meeting, will possibly prevent me from attendiag the meeting proposed by some of thie citizens yesterday to be called in re ference to the disturbances which have just taken place. I therefore write to request, that you will add my voice to the general cry of horror and denunciation which goes up fromi our people against these outrages and their perpetrators. With out prejudging any individuals, it is manifest that the peace of this town and county has been violated, that an officer has' been slain while endeavor ing to secure the order, quiet and well-being of the comnmunity, that in nocent and unconcerned passers in the streets have been fired upon and wounded. and that thousands of peo pe have been embroiled and excited and all this, as far as we can see. without a shadow of justification or excuse We should pretest against such outrages in the strongest terms-pro test, not in words only, but in deeds. And we should therefore this day not only proclaim our horror and hostility to them, but we should pledge our selves to use every lawful effort to detect anid bring to speedy and con din punishment every individual im plicated in yesterday's bloodshed, without regard to the rank, antece dents or connexions of any man. I presume that you and others will see that resolutions are adopted em bodying such sentiments as I have just expressed; a,d I beg that you will cast my vote for such. I would also auggest that you set Ion foot a subseription for the benefit of Henry Bluford's family. He was a good citizen and a faithful officer, and I consider it only our duty to evince our appreciation of his ser vices and our sympathy with his be. reaved family by some such :,ubstan tial testimon'ial. If the subscriptiou. list should be started in my absence, I beg that you will put ime down for the same sum which you shall your self subscribe-which I know will be most liberal. s Very truly, yours, JAMES F."J. CALDWELI. Mr. Silas Johnstone offered the fol lowingr Resolution which was unani mously adopted: Resolved, That the Town Conne be requested to open a~ subscription for the benefit of the family of Henry Bluford, the policeman who was kill. ed while in the discharge of his duty. On motion of Mr. W. 0-. M-ayes it Resolved. That thme thanks of this meeting be tendered to the TowL Council of Newberry for defraying the funeral expenses of Henry Blu Sford. The Rev.
