Seriator McDonald, whoi represented India'n, made a sp.eech oi' this questi n biich piedutced much impressioin. Hle said .there could be no. possible doubt of the dleep and atroionus frauds and core~ -poirac~y by which be* Presidency had been give:u to the man who had been defen ted at. the polls. lie was ens Ii rely ini invor' f the illvest igat ion which had been (ordered, lie thonght t he frauds shoiiuld lbe eiIposed, and lihe peopleo made acquainited w illb hemui in all their detade Isnnd all their iry, and let thle Rep)ui1icans8 be challenged to join issue and say whether they apiprove of decidiog a Proi dential elect ionl in such mani laer.

Missed as unworth y of consideratton the pretense that Congress could es tablish a tibunal, or. delegate any tribinal already in existence, to pass upon the title of a Pr'ident after he had been declared elected in the mode provided by the constitution. ie declared that there could be no conceivable combinatii of circum stane< a uider which his assent could be < btained to any proposition at tacking the title of Mr. hayes. There was,but one way by which President Hayes or any o'her President could be reached, and that was by the con sti'titiial method of impeachment, and the very act of a resort to im peachiment Wias, of coirse, a'full and compiilete acknowledgement of the validity of the Presidew's title. Senator Ransom, of North Caro .1ina, coincided filly with the views advanced by Senator McDoiald. General Ransom said that as Senator he felt a delecay in addressing him self to this subject, because in the possible contingency of an impeach4 menti he held that it would be proper for Sena:ors to have expressed nr> inpihon inl advaice on iny of the colhteral branches of the subject. 131t. he desired to say Ihat he was fixed and immovable inl the opiliou liat. no power existed any where to assail or quertion the title by which President Javes holds his office, and it was im1 ossible thiat lie Conld be a 'arty to any m1l1tCvCeet looking to tich e:d. lie believed that in thus S'enking he represt4IeCd Ilhe Voice of t he Soul h1; t hat lie SuthI would view wil dialrust and abu-m the iidica, tionl of a n )t. purpose to reverse the Verdict which place Alr. a v es in the chair of lhe Chief. i112gistrate.

"Lgrant.you Iperm!ssion,' said the Bishopy 'Abua Southern Society and Virtue. Governor Colqtitt, of Georgi. de. livered the following address to~the inm'ates of the Confederate Home when in CharleRtoO. He said In' opening 'hat le had come with no eut and dried carefully prepared a4dress, and if left to his inclination would much prefer to sit quietly and drink in the scene before him with. all the sacred memories tj)at it conjured up,,and was at a loss to select a subject which would inter. ost the audience before him. We soleltines do great injustice to the w'orld he said. Men mingling in the hard struggle, in the impetitions, in the midst of the innumerable ac tivities of life, are hiclined to believe that their fellow men are all hard and selfish and unfeeling, and indeed a man is fortunate 'hio lives to any great a.e that does not become lbar dened and calculating by tle very thought that lie lives among a gene ration that is 6o selfish and unfeeling. But this scene before ue is snfficient to prove that the world is not so un c4,aritable as we think, for truly by the love of God and the benevolence ofi man this institution is supported and kept alive. You are, young ladics, in a certain eense, the beneficiaries of this kind ness and charity. What, then, is your inlission? How shall youh re,, wArtlit? I do not know of any class in life more able to take this respO sibility t han jiust such a class of as I sCe 'lere to night and as .01ie inmates of this 1IIo.

There has been a great re voluntion that we conld not check. WVe find ourselves in the midst of dest iturtion arnd suffering.

On Saturday night last, about eight o'clock, Mr. G. V. Bell, who resides about tourteeni miles north of Groen. ville, was sitting quietly in hi8 house, while his wife, (who is a daughter of our respected fullow-citizen, Joh)n L, Wesmoreland, member of the House from this Coimty.) was preparing to retire for the night, having m.dress ed for that purpose, a voice 'was heard at hrs door, cali-g for water in a very rude manner. Mr. Bell, not knowinug the voice, enquir ed "who are yon?" Thre reply 'was, "it makes noC (1ifferene, bring mec thle water.'' Mr. Bell., supposinag that it was some neigh bor play ig off on him. got a dipper (of water and went to the door, and enquired again who the person wats, when he answered, "My name is SpIrmgs;" when Mr. Bell said, ''If I had knownr that I would not expec ted aniy thing butter from you,'' or words to that effec', allading to hiis manner of callhng foJ' the water. WVhereupon the indi vid ual, WVill iam Springs, who is a deputy United States Marshal1, well known in this community', with hiis hand 'knocked the dlipper of wateri over Bell's bead acrosa the room, emptv ing part of its contents on his person. Bell steJpped back in the r.oomn and seized a shot wnn, whiich fortuuately, or an tortuinately, happened not to be loJad edl. Two of the~ par ty accomp)an)ying William, Sprin gs, whIio wvere five 'in all, thien entered Mr. Bell's house proposing to prevent any difficelty, whiphi Bell asenited to anid delivered to them his gu n.sag ig to themn that it was A.f no use,ta him, riot being loaded. -One of the party thereupon put1 the gtun otiside of the house. William Springs then rushed into the house, withl his pistol in his hand, pur nsuing Bell, and followed him in to hisa bed ro .n, where his wife and children had retired in alarm and terror, thrusting the piistol at him, b)rnisIng is hlands with its mnurzzle, as he attempted to protect himrrself, all t,be t imre using profane and vio lent laniintage. Af'er B3ell surren dered hisgun, the persons to whomn lhe stirrendere'd it, made no effort to pr event W illiam Springe from using violence upgn his personf. One ol the parties was recognized as .Mr Blackwell, the other he has gince learned wvas a br'other of Willam Springs. Thee parties remained in Mr. B Iis house about two hours, t-> the great annoyanco of himself and fainilyt owing to the rude and 4iisor-t derly condu9t of William Springs. Mr. Bell came to Greenville .on Monday last, and yesterday procured a warrant to be issued against, Wil liani Springs, who has keen arrested and bound over for his appearance at Court, two colored persone of this city, Tom Brier and Bill Smith, be. ing his sureties. Tle foregoing facts have come to us from a reliable source, and if they be true, of which we have not the least doubt, it is the duty of Marshal Wallace to deprive William Springs at once of his office; and it not, Mar shal Wallace himself should be re moved from his office. We make no fuirther eomient till the ease has un. dergone judicial investigation. A preliminary hearing of the case will be had before Justice Croft next Sat.. urday.-Greenvile Divily N#ws of the 29th tilt. Truth AbQut Bald Mountaiu. SPARTANBURo, May 2G,-In accQr dance with your instruction to vist Bald Mountain and report the fact, in regard to tlesafleged rupture of that famous peak, I left bpartanbiArg last Titursday morning, aid after o; fatiguing ride of forty miles thromiglh the mountatils reachted Juald Moun.... tain next day, Finding it impossible to rconcilo conflict ing rmnore or to ascertain the truth by ilquiry, I pro cured guides and acended the peak the same afternoon. But one man had ever seen the fissure, and him I could hot find. After a lonz and painful seach, however, we fbially chanced upon (he object of our quest, and found it to bo-a ciack about one hundred yards in length, about' four ttet i.n width and of unknown depth. Tie crevice, which runs nearly due east and welt, is parallel with and but a.short ditance from the brow of the precipice whIich marks t he south ern boundary' of the mountain. That it is of recent origth was plainly to be seen, anid is lurthier proved by the freshly tOrn roots of the trees grow ing near it. Careful investigation leads me to thre conclusion that' the crev ice merely marks the sej erat ion of a very largej sction of the cliff5 from the bod*y of the mnountain,3 and thse break will result, sooner or later, in a laud slide, differing only in point of extent from otheors",ike .it and of freq"ent occurrence in this locality. T-hlere has .been nio appearance of smoke, nor smell of suiph or, and the mountain experienced its last aguie at l east a year before the crack appear ed. Whether or inoLthhe latter was caused by the former is a tIhing no fellow can find out.-C. McK., in Charleston News and Conrier. CoLoUBIA, May 24.-Olonel J. H.
