Mr. SIHERENBEGK will officiate Address The Democratic and Conservative members of Congress-fourteen Senators and ninety five representatives-publish un address to tho people of the United States. We give an extract this week, and will publish thc ad dress entire hereafter. Destructive Fire We learn from a correspondent, that thc dwelling, kitchen, barn, cribs and other out houses of Mrs. MARY BA IC KR were consum ed by fire, in Bickens county, on thc 21st instaut. A portion of the contents only were saved. Tho fivo was thc result of acci dent. The Weather, To Saturday last, has been all sunshine and promise to thc farmer. Saturday was a cold, cloudy day, with high winds. In the even ing it faired off, and Sunday morning found t?ie earth white with frost. Under favorable circumstances, ice was formed. Another frost formed Sunday night. This unseasonable return of frost has destroyed many of thc carly garden vegctaglcs, though we believe it has not injured thc fiuit or grain crop. 2. eaco Celebrations, Tho German citizens of thc United States hive recently taken great interest in Father land. Thc war between Franco andi Germa ny enlisted their sympathies very naturally with the latter. When peace was announc ed, it cheered their hearts. The demonstra tions in this country were imposing. In San Francisco, 13,000 persons were in thc proces sion. In New York thc line st reached over a distance of fifteen miles, being four times longer than thc entire route over which it marched. It contained 45,000 men, 12,000 horses, 1,200 carraiges, 130 bands of music, 20 drum corps, GOO wagons and other trade vehicles. Pickend CiCpS. Business calling us to Bickens last week, wc had an opportunity of observing some thing of the fanning prospscta of the section along, tho route. With tho remarkably fa vorably spring, these could not be otherwise than flattering. Thc wheat crop- appears very forward and promises an abundant yield, unless crippled by rust oi lute frost. Oats though low, look well, and with favorable sea sons must yield a good crop. Wc saw a good deal of corn up, and some being ploughed thc first time. Everybody was busy turning to profitable account thc opening of thc grow ipg season. Wo found.thc town of Bickens unusually quiet, "Tnnglo Leg" having been lately os tracised by a majority of tho gpod citizens. Wc saw no loafers or idlers about tho Court House, nor any drunken carousing io the streets. Thc town has continued to improve sihec our last visit. In addition to several very creditable new buildings, a number of others have, boen painted and greatly improv ed. Tho most commendable net of the citi zens, is thc erection of an academy and thc ostablif hmcnt of a flourishing school in the town. Wc wero informed thc school num bered over sixty scholars. The town is. lo caled, in a beautiful section of country, un surpassed in scenoryj climato, water and ev ery requisite to health, and in n country so remarkable for thc integrity and tho morality of its citizens as to need neither judge, j my nor oourt. - Tho Charleston News saya: Tho illus trious Brother Albert Biko, Sovoncign Grand Commander of tho Supremo Council of tl? Southern jurisdiction of the United States, vrill visit this city on thc 28th instant for thc purpose of organizing a ohnptcr of. thc "Roso Croix" of the ancient and nocopted rite. IJ o will also deliver, an address on, the history.a.nd philosophy of the highor degrees in Masonry, at such time as may bo designa ted by tho committee of arrangements ap pointed hy Delta Lodge of Perfection. What the Governor Says The Charleston News publishes an account of a lengthy interview between Gov. SCOTT and one of tho attaches of that office, rela tivo to thc many subjects now agitating ?be public mind. Tho Governor attributes the disturbed condition of tho public mind to a misapprehension of our financial affairs. Ho says, tho sum total of our State debt is bo tween seven and eight millions of dollars, and that we owo to tho State agent about ono million more, which thc taxes of 1S7? will more than settle. That the bonds issued by tim present administration, for funding tho Hills of tho Hank of this State, for tho pay ment of interest and other claims past due, for tho redemption of thc bills receivable, for thc relief of tho Treasury and the Hand Commission, nmouut to thrco millions two hundred thousand dollars. That of these bonds only one million of dollars have been placed on tho market, leaving twenty-two hundred thousand dollars in hand. That th0 Bum total of thc endorsements of tho Kail road bonds, by tho Sti.tc, is six millions and a half of dollars, including tho Hluo Hidgc Railroad bonds, for which ho deems tho road ample security to thc State agaiust loss. Ile admits that tim last Legitlature was sensurn bly extravagant, perhaps corrupt, and that there are mauy evils needing correction. Tlc commends tho promptness with whioh thc people have paid their taxes; favors minor ity representation and expresses tho desire that good men only should hold office, lie thinks tho moderate views of thc Press ol tho State, on political questions, arc dissipa ting thc fears and prejudices of thc past, ant that bettor prospects await thc whole pcoph in tho future. A BLOODY AFFRAY.-The Chcstorfich Democrat contains thc following account o tho affair, to which brief allusion has already been made : Wc regret to hear that a foul and cob blooded murder was committed in our county on Sunday night last. Six unknown person approached tho house of Mr. Kobert Melton in the upper part of tho county, and hailed when Mr. Melton, his wife and daughte went to tho door, the whole party tired, iu stantly killing Mrs. Melton, mortally wound ing Moiton, and severely but not dangerous ly wounding their daughter. There aro vari otis surmises as to who were tho perpetrator of this outrage, some supposing they wer members of the Ku Klux organization, som that they were negroes, many of whom wer 8:1 id to bo much enraged against Moiton, un others suppose they were a body of outlaw from Nert li Carolina. Wo have never hear of Ku Klux maltreating women when thc inflicted punishment, always taking tho vic tims a distance from their families; (his, i nothing else, would load us to tho belief thu this outrage was thc result td* personal malic rather than thc organized punishment < crime, real or supposed. Our citizens shoul usc every effort to ferot out and bring to j;U; tice the authors of this crime. Since writing tho above- we have receive a letter from W. J. Hanna, list}., Corone from which we learn that Mr. Melton die about sundown Tuesday evening. Thc fain ly were aroused between 1 and 2 o'clock Moi day morning by thc barking of thc dog, an on going out to soc who it was were (ired oi M elton received two "rounds, one in tl stomach and one in thc hip; Mrs. Melton r ceived ono wound in tho breast, and died a most instantly, their daughter received oi wound in tho hip. A b it and pistol we left at tho gate ; the assailants left going tho direction of (he Charlotte and <5auid< road. The jury of inquest were unable gain any clue as to tho perpetrators of t! murder. . - France will have to pay 5,000,000,01 francs to Coeruiany as a war Indemnity Th in five-franc gold pieces, would weigh 5 000,000 pounds avoirdupois. To transpc all this gold by rail, supposing each car carry 11,000 pounds, a train of 500 c; would bc required. When spread out on t ground, on<> touching tho otlior, these fl franc geld pieces would reach almost a rou thc globo. If five-franc pieces to make t amount wore placed one above another, tl would ranko a column of gold 1070 miles height. If this column, having its base Paris, should topple over in the direction Hcrlin, Herl in would bc only one-third of whole distance reached by thc coin at the of tho column.

Wo clip from tho Charleston JVcios tho fol lowing views of the Govoruorou tho approach ing May Convention aud othor niattors of public interest. THE MAY CONVENTION. yb Q. What oro your views, Governor, with reference to the approaching May Couvon tion ? Tho Governor. I think it will dovolop sonic important fads which it is proper for tho tax p-tyers more folly to uh dei sta nd, aud, among ut hois, that our dolt ia not tho enor mous sum which is charged, but simply the amount 1 have stated, or very nearly so, (for I have not the ligures with ute.) lt will ulso bring together clements that have been kept asunder from various causes, mid kindle a bettor feeling than has hitherto existed among tho two parties iu thc State. Convoncd iu the proper spirit, it tuny indeed bo thc com mencement of that truo Reform which was sought through u di ile reut chunncl a year ago, by milking all classes of tho people realizo that thc dread of each other1'exists more iu imagination than ?tl fact; and gentlemen of of ability aud experience in statecraft .should have a 'air share iu thc responsible places of thc St. : Govornmcut, whore their moderato views ou all subjects which couduoo to tho re-establishment of Oonfidoo?*9 on tho part of tho tax-payers, will givVw?raaoo that, in ? taking au active part iu tho administr?t iou of public affairs, they will faithfully serve the iu tcrests of tho whole people. Q. Do you consider that tho May Conven tion will bo held in a spirit of hostility to you and your administration? Tho Governor. I do not. On tho contra ry, I regard it as an honest effort, on thc part of most of thc gentlemen connected with the movement, to develop what has boco set forth in tho resolutions of tho Hoard of Trade and Chamber Commerce-namely, the truth or falsity of thc report that there has been a large increase in tho Stato debt. I should be moro pleased, however, were I assured thut thc proceedings would not tukc a political turn. Tho delegates ought to bc solcoted without reference to their political affiliations and opinions. THE HOCKS ANO SHOALS OF THE ADMINISTRA TION. Q. I would like to know w'iat have been thc chief difficulties with which you have had to contend iii your administration thus fur? Thc Governor. . First, the efforts of thc outside parties to push through legislation which was destructive of the best interest of the State, and only bctiolicial to a few indi viduals. Secondly, tho p omptuess with which tho L?gislature yielded iu many cases to these influences, and carried out measures in which their constituents had no concern. (?. Was lhere not open and direct bribery ? Thc Governor. Well, thc facility with which local interests of the State wcro neg lected, besides certain other signs more per sonal in their character, induced those who were, not connected with tho Legislature to bel ?evo that improper iuflitonocs had bcou brought to bear in order to effect theso ob jects. Whether it is true or not, 1 have had no menus of knowing. Q. Wore not tho expenses unnecessarily large ? ?A Tho Governor. UodoA5?.Ul% p bv(t I bod no moans of limiting them. A largo number of tho attaches received pay for services th it might have been dispensed with, while tho length of the session, unnecessarily prolonged, again increased thc expenses. 1 have no means of knowing, and, up to this time, have not been able, to ascertain how many employ ees there were, in and around thc capital, or what, wore their duties. WANTED-GOOD MEN. Q. One moro question, and I arn done. In selecting officials, do you feel yourself con fined exclusively to those who arc in open affiliation with tho Republican party? Thc Governor. 1 have never done so hith erto, nor do 1 expect to bc governed by thc ordinary rules adopted by other administra tions. Were 1 to attempt to apply the rule strictly, 1 should fail itv many instances in securing the hc:<t tuen for thc positions. I can only refer you to my last Inaugural ad dress, tu which I proposed to consult thc fit ness ami qualification of a tuan, rather than thc claims of a mere politician. MtNOH IT V l?. E PRES E N T AT I ON. O'. Changing the subject, somewhat nd ruptly, what arc your views on thc now ques tion of minority representation? The Governor. I have given that matter considerable reflection, nnd believe the mi nority system to bo the best plat*o? represen tation It must bo patent to every one that a majority, unchecked and untrammelled, may, by legislation, do an infinite amount of harm, and that tho oily mode by which thc evil can bo limited, and greater purity in tho administration of affairs bo secured in any CommonwcaU.li, is by allowing the minority to have a representation corresponding1 with their strength. To accomplish that purpose in South Carolina, however, it would'first be necessary, to make a chango in tho constitu tion, which, by the way, nil the people of thc State will, in my judgment, soon require, be cause in several particulars it is not equal to thc demands of" tho hour.

The Blue Ridge Railroad and tho Athens Extension The following hitter from Qonoral Harrison appears in tim Augusta Chronicle and Sen* timi of yesterday : NBW YORK, April 18, 1371. To the Editors of thc Augusta Chronicle und Mendiai : GKN XJjKMKN :-I accidentally saw an arti cle in your papor of tho ll th instant, copied from tho Athens Eau uer, in reforeuoe to tho Hluo Ridge Railroad, und hasten to explain tho condition and policy of this company, to prevent any possible erroneous impressions which might bo produced by this article. For thc last two years a comp?tent corps of engineers has been kept almost continuously in thc held, revising tho location and esti mates, result ing in I hortouiug tho distance between Anderson and Knoxville at least fif teen miles, wit'; a proportionate saving of cost of construction Hy a chango of location in South Carolina, all thc tunnelling in that State has been avoided, with a cheaper and shorter lino, leaving but ono tunnel of any length on tho whole line, viz : Dick Crock Tunucl, near Claytou. Tho policy of tho company has boon to emiline thc work to this tunnel-its comple tion requiring tho longest time, That work is now so far advanced that it is no longer un obstacle us to time, but tho whole ru ni eau uow bo made iu eighteen or twenty mouths. Tho uusottlod StutO of utfuirs, and tho geno ral low prices of Southern securities, have de terred this company from forcing their bonds, guaranteed by thc State ol' South Carolina for Si,00U,0UU, (four million dollars,) on the market. Again, the war in Europe has pre vented au advantageous salo iu that market, and thc company has thought prudent to await events and only keep suo.i work under way us would enable tho contractors to finish thc whole line iu tho time stated above. Thc assets of tho company, it is believed, if judiciously and economically administered, will bc ampio to secure tho ultimate comple tion of tho road, but it will, of course, require longer time, having to roly perhaps upon a second mortgage or aid from other quarters. 1 haye always regarded a connection from Clayton with tho interior and Southern Geor gia, by Athens, or some other point, as most important ?md valuable to tho Hluo Ridge Railroad, notwithstanding thc fear and appre hension expressed by some that your Slate, by such II brauch would tap and draw oil much of tho traillo and travel. lt must bc apparent lo all reflecting per sons, from a glance at tho m ip, that without this branch-no part of thc tratho or travel from East Tennessee, or points in Kentucky Ot Ohio, intended for thu interior, or Northeas tern poi timi of Georgia) would ever passovei thc Hine Ridge Railroad, but would follow the present route through Atlanta. Hut with this connection made at Clayton, till people of Georgia would become valuable customers to thc Elue Ridge Railroad, Undinp a shorter and cheaper route to tho valleys ol North Carolina and Hist Tennessee, and points beyond Having couliidoncc in these views, and bc ing opposed to monopolios and improper res triotions on trade. I have long thought tba if tho people of Georgia desired to secure theil full pioportiou of thc advantages oll'ored ty this connection by rail, at Clayton, with tin BluO 1!' U{0 liui I rou d, I boy ri?..ni.1 bc joint ly interested in tho line beyond to Knoxville Eur if tho people of South Carolina boar tin whole expense of tho road to Knox vide, it i ju >t to thom losco that no part of thc benefit of such road shall be diverted which can bi retained by tho usual restrictivo policy o railroad corporations. Hut 1 have no doubt if tho Georgia Rail road & Hanking Company, or any other rail road corporation in Gcougia, will aid in th work beyond Clayton to Knoxville, such com pany or companies can obtain a voice il) th management of thc road, between these point; commensurate with their aid, and suchas wit for all timo secure mutual advantages an privileges, leaving tho commercial advantage resulting from this road open only to a propc and generous rivalry between the people i South Carolina and Ocdrgia. Thc means of thu Southern people boin somewhat restricted, and thc necessity fe: thc development of our great resources ino* urgent, would it not bc wisc for the Georgi Railroad ec Hulking Company, the Angus! and Hartwell Company, and the Macon an Knoxville Company to agree to connect wit thu Hiue Ridge Railroad-South of ?he moui tains-say at Anderson, Pendleton or Wu halla, thus saving tho heavy expense of tl pass through the Hluo Ridge, tho dango and losses of short parallel lines generally d VOUri Hg each other, and at tho samo tunes euro all tho benefits of tho connection by c: ponding the amount saved towards the co btruution of tho Blue Itulgo Railroad.
