Tho killing of T. L. Brayton) hoar Con - Vrai, in Piokoos County, ls a subject of deep regret, both ou account of tho country at large and the reported peaceable oharooter bf tho "-deceased. It will crcato strong feeling in tko North and ia calculated to keep up old animosities. It has been said by a Northern correspondent that tho inse curity of lifo io tho South is tho greatest obstado to immigration to tho South, and somo havo estimated that there aro fifteen murders in tho South to ono in tho North, in proportion to population. Wo do not boliovo this, but our criminal courts show tco plainly that homicide, both hero and in tho North, aro far too frequent. Tho groat oitics of tho North oro theatres ol' tho most horriblo crimes and thoy appear of frequent occurrence, but in tho country murder is uncommon. In our sparse and Well governed population they ought to bo still less frequent. Brayton is roprcEontcd by tho Press of OrechVillo, where ho has lived over thrco years, as o worthy citizen, disposed to pcaco and as merciful iii tho enforcement of tho low os his duly would permit. His re mains received proper honor nt tho hands bf tho ohuroh and of thc Masohio frater nity, of which lio Was a member. Iiis being nn officer of tho Government, in tho proper disohargc of his duties, tends to ag gravate tho crime, and tender ' is killing moro obnoxious to law abiding citizens herc and elsewhere, especially if tho facts of tho killing wcro such as reported. Wo have hoard but one si d" the story and if it bo truo tho killing is called wilful murder. Ile, it seems, went to arrest McDow, while tithers wcro left to watch tho stillhouso. Ile talked with nicDow, the warrant was shown to him and when ho said he would or could not goto Greenville that day, Bray ten reasoned with him on obeying tho mandate of tho law and thai thc offense with which ho was charged wad light com - pared with that of resisting nn officer. While Brayton was walking about thc yard, expecting submission by McDow, it seems some ono from thc house fired on Brayton, thc ball passing through tho heart nnd producing instant death. It is said McDow then followed thc other parties lo Central, told what ho had dono and was permitted to escape without any attempt at arrest ?PII?B ia substantially tho story of tho par tics who acccompanicd Brayton and os gathered from citizens, by thoao who weut after thc body. It is said also that MoDow hod been running a still in a mile of Central for nearly thrco years, and Mr. Brayton end posse went with n warrant to cuforoo tho low. Wo hopo to hear many of theso statements modified by futuro rc ports, moro full and reliable than tho30 gathered in tho heat of excitement. Why' aro these murders of such frequent Odcurrcnco in our sister county? Wo can recall Mitchell, Waylaid and aesansi ?atedin tho publ?o rood; then of Looper, who killed and Wau hilled by a liquor ped? dien thon of Lidd; who was shot nod killed 6y revenue offiocrs; then of Kelley, who was wounded recently; and now of Brayton, Killed by MoDow. It seems there is n Bpeoial feeling of hostility in Pickcns be tween tho rovenuo offiocrs and somo of the people,and wo can only account for it on thc injustice, I might say, of tho United States Statutes, exempting reven?o officers from trial in the State courts for offences com mitted by them while on duty. In all enge? this encourages oppression, lends to killing abd makes tho citizen fool justified iri killing by way of defense. In no case has any official of tho revenue been tried in thc State courts, but generally getting their eases transferred they go Scot free. W licthor thc statutes bo just or not they aro eortainly neither wiso nor promotivo of ponde, and Wo think should bc repealed. "Wo beliove out juries would fiud a just verdict under tho law in all such ooscs, and in knowing the law would protect their rights, tho citizen would havo no causo for taking tho law into his own hands. Wo do not think each a feeling justifiable, but still we think it hoo much to do with the lawlessness of tho post. Wo aro glad to say that for ten ycart?, yea not since thc wor, hiis a citizen been killed by, or killed a revenue officer in this county. Wo have heard reports occasion ally of improper acts by offioors, but wo Snow" of nono boing verified. Somo of our peoplo havo engaged in illicit distilling, but have always yielded to tho law, when found Out, and'Wo hardly think nn officer in this county WOllld feel it necessary to go nr med to arrest nr/y reported moonshiner. At this timo there is little if any illegal mak ing or trafilo of liquors in this county Wo know of no ease even by rumor, but i one wero known the party should yield to the law. J?dgo Nathan Clifford, of tho United States Sopromo Court, diod at Portland, Jtfeloo, ?0 Tuesday, July 26. ? j..i... .r;?.. i... ?, i ; ? i nf, y>? Tho New tork Legislature lias elected two tinlfed States Sooators to succeed Mee si M. Conkling and Platt in ttio persons ol' SVnrnor Miller nnd E. Q. Lapbarh. Tho work was'cornploted on tho 22d instant, over two mouths lifter tho resignation of tho New York Senators, and after a contest noveV surpassed in bitterness by (uv? party. On the rosult being announcod tho breaches wore healed nominally and tho Republican party professed again to stand ou tho old terms of unity und amity. Tho New York Sim, iii commenting on theso portie?, says of them tho following: "Neither Mr. Lapham nor Mr. Miller is a groat man-so tar as (hoy have given us op portunity to judgo of their sizo. Nolthor of thom is n statesman-so fur ss wo cnn judgo by their career in politics. Noitbor of thom is an orator-so far as can ho judged by any thing that is known of their spooohos, if cither of them ever mudo a speech. Neither of them has boon a Teador of tho Hopublicnn party-so far os its leadership is anywhero on record. Neither of them has identified himsblf with any public policy, though ono of thom, if not both of thom, could tell an interesting story of tho profitableness of privato polioy in political lifo." Tho samo journal says of Lord Itosooc: "Wo havo nothing in common with those who rcjoico over tho foll of ltoscoo Conkling for porsonal reasons, or iu any spirit of exulta tion or potty triumph. Wo rcmembor him ns a truo patriot during the war, &o. But while, personally, wo might pauso to drop a tear into his political grave, for tho sako of tho country, wo rcjoico ovor his downfall: I.

III. Finally, and above nil clso, liccnuso in Iloscoo Conkling falls tho loader of tho Third Term party, wiro would overthrow tho freo Constitution of the United States and erect in empire on its ruins. Down, down forover, with all such mon!" Mr. Conkling was no doubt ono of bright }8t minds in tho United States Scnato and sscreiscd a wide inilucuco in his party and iver tho whole country. His loss to his party is groat and in tho election of his suc cessor tho groat State of Now York scorns inly lo bo represented in nnino. The Weather Hos continued hot and dry for weeks. Whilo wo may have had every summer a few days of hot weather similar to this, dill no one will hardly say they oan re member consecutive Weeks of hot nights ind days, which threatened to destroy all reSctntion. lu addition we have had iu J?ght or ten weeks but ono rain, a heavy cashing shower two weeks ogo. Every hing now i nd ion tos rain and cooler weather, ff it comes it can hardly benefit those ibout Walhalla ns to mops.

Porhops no county rn tho Stats has been nore directly benefited than Oconoo by tho Vets of tho Legislature prohibiting thc carn ying of concealed deadly weapons and tho alo of intoxicating liquors outside of incor lorated towns nnd villages. Both of theso nensurcs have Leen strictly enforced with cry gratifying results, and, from foots col ccted by a representative of tho News and ??M'ief during a recent visit to that section f tho Stuto, it nppears that Ibo whiskey rude of thc county lins been reduced at least wo thirds, and that every violation of tho lonccalod weapon law has been promptly and iffectivcly punished Tho result of all this tan bo scon in tho general prosperity of tho ?ounty, tho largo advanco in tho price ol real estate, tho influx of a soporior popula ion, tho establishment of new industria mtcrprisos and increased educational facili? ios. There aro now only two licensed govern nont distilleries in tho county, and whiskey s only sold nt Wulhulla. Twelve month igo thcro wus not eh illicit distillery in th '.minty, and so fur as tho rovenuo oficial aro informed thcro aro now no violations c thc laws in this direction. In tho revenu district, comprising tho counties of Oconct Picketts and Andorson, of which Mr. II. I] JilUon, is ibo Deputy Collector, where thci wcro twclvo distilleries before tho passage < tho State license law thcro aro now not moi than four. Of course nil this is very onooui aging to thc friends of temperance, and thci io a growing fooling in favor of tho absolu prohibition of tho ualo and manufacturo whi?koy. Thcro aro many who do not j no far, but who ndvocato tho cultivation tho vine, (for which tho soil nnd olimato Oconco aro especially adopted) and tho di filiation of light wines. Tho barrooms at Walhalla havo paid f their liuenso lena, State, county and Fcdor and aro now running under tho full stinoli of tho law. Tho special Stato license li reduced tho mimi,er of liquor shops in t county, diminished tho quantity of liq? sold, and occasioned a bettor respect for t laws and a fuller enforcement of all th provisions.

Tlioro is just Ono point tbat wo wish to bring out, and H is that what tho United States Government, with armed bunds of Revenue officers, paid detectives and bribed witnesses could not accomplish, oyen with tho ?ympathy and oo-oporatioo of the Stnto officials, tho Stuto government has boon ablo to do by Stnto authority, without tho oxpoadituro of a dollar or tho loss of a single drop of bloodl And tho mond of this lesson is that within ber own bordors and in tho administration of her own trusts, acting undor her own Constitution and by virtuo of hor own legislativo onaotmonts, tlio Stnto is, os ought to bo tho case, moro powerful than tho Gonoral Govor'nmont at Washington , Shut Them TXp. Tho bill beforo tho Georgia Legislature to shut up lunatic murdorors for lifo is very favorably received by tho press. Tho Char lotte Observer Baye of it: "This law ought to bo passed, not only in Goorgia but in ovory State in tho Union. Tho ploa of insanity hus becomo so common as to attract general remark and general derision. Tho moro nt roci?os and inexon sable tho crimo, tho moro sortaiu is tho ploa of insanity.
