COLUMBIA, July 10.-The evidence given before the committee yesterday and to day implicates D. T. Corbin, better known in South Carolina as "Munohausen" Corbin, former United States District Attorney. In the misappropriation of State funds known as the "Phosphate Royalty," to se cure his election as United States Senator from South Carolina, Corbin it is said, gave each member of the Mackey House two hundred dollars for his vote to send him to the United States Senate. He was elected by that so-called House of Representa tives, and wont to Washington and claimed his seat over M. C. Butler, elected by the Wallace, or lawful House. Corbin got wind of the evi. donco which would most probably be given against him, and *on yesterday sailed for Europe. His sp'endid t ture in the United States Senate, which was lavishly boasted of by his political frionds hero, will thus be cut short, and Butler will doubtless be soated. He Scratched His Toe. A Brewery Hill man took a bath last Bunday morning, as his uhual custom, (says the Hluron County Chronicle) and the memory of that bath still clings to him, oven as a piece of court plaster clings to a sore spot. He finished his ablutions, and before robing himself entirely, back ed up to the stove to get well dried off. There was a rousing fire and the surface of the sIove glowed and glie toned with hpat. The wan etood within a few inches Qf it, absorbing the genial warmth, when all of a sudden his left big toe began to itch. He stoop)ed down to scratch it. The stove seemed to move a few inches nearer to him, and with a tearful yell lbe sprang four feet in the air. Coming down his foot Btruck on a bar of soap, which slid from under him and he sat down on the floor. lie got right up and began a Sittinig Bull war dance, around the room, yelling at his lungs' best. His wife rushed to the door and in anxious tones inquired through the key hole: "William Uenry, what under the Bunl is the matter a' "Sat-down-on--the-stovel' he snorted at intervals, as he hopped all around the room; and the odor of burnt moat which floated through the key hole coftirmed the terrible tale. WVilliamn Henry's seat at church was vacant that morning. Hie thought it would look disrespeetful to stand uip during the e'ntir service, so be staid at home, anud banging himself on the hat rack, spent the day quite comfortably. Neither did he maake any friendly calls, and for the past week has taken his meals off t he top shelf In the pantry. Uo has nearly recovered, and has now a new ex. perience to hanid downm to posterity. Keep ducks shut up in the morning until they have laid, as they are very careless about their eggs.

PITrsBuRG, July 2.- The outer depot a0d yards of the PonryA vinla railroad have lbe'n abandoned by I the troops. The Philadelphia m''en went, down Pennsylvania avenue aid the Pittsburg b4t1ery boys spiked their guns and came down to the Union depot. The -mob have things all their own way. The Roundhouse and shops, together with the engipes and a numbet of cars, were entirely destroyed by fire. It is reported about 20 were killed and a number wounded. VoIrr J&RvM, N. Y., July 22. Things look serious bore. Prrnauo, July 22.--The crisis of the railway strike in this dity, as in dicated in these dispatches Saturday night, was reacbed yesterday even,. ing about five o'clook, when the Philadelphia troops who had. been sent here to suppress the strikers fired upon thearowd. The terribly fatal effects of the shots fired by the troops exasperated citiens p, well as strikers, and in less than an hour the band of workingmen from the,. rol ling mills, coal mines and various. manufacturing establishanents started to the seene of conflict, detieoniad to have revenge on the troops and railroad officials. It was stated that Gen. Pearson, commander of the. gixth division of the State Guards, had directed the troops to fire before any resistance had been made, and the fact that many of those killed and wounded, had gatherod on jbe hill side merely ap sp.ept.ors, qerved to increase the bitterness of crowd. By 8 o'clock in thq evening mobs were moving about the city in various directions, sacking stores to secure arms, breaking into the ar mories of the military companies and preparing themselves to execute the threats freely oxpressed, of mnassa croing the entire Philadelphia comn mand. They proceded to execute those threats by capturing the guns of Hutohinson's battery, and glanting them to command the Roundhouse, and firing several solid shots; the fire was returned, and the mob daterdn mned to burm themn out, and proeedde with fiendish alaqrttfdeeotit b. gr-ain that' had 'ten" be) f two days and ploduoo,~ ahfmoelhanis dise of all kinds, aid4oil agre 'aind doal cars, and all railroad compahy's prop, orty. The mob run the burning oars against the Roundhouse to burn the soldiers out. The building was soon ignited, and the soldiers had to pro.. pare to get out only to be pursued by the infuriated mob. -They were fol. lowed to the arsenal, then to the Al leghany river, which they crossed at Sharp's bridge. Thousands who had not pursued the troops, gathered around the burning buildings, emubrac ing machine shops, with hsundreds of oars, store houses. freight depots, Rloundhouses with 125 first class en gines, which hgad been housed in cons sequence of the strike. Tho property burned and stolen, was besideas the buildiogs, and machinery, all the vat.. uable freights which had been accu. mutating for two days. The stealing was mostly by men who were not railroad laborers, and by women and boys. The number of railroads converging hero withs their depots, will give some idea of the damage dope. Trhe prop% orty consumed amounted to millions PrvrenURo. July 22--7 P.
