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.

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
