twenty years o'd was arrested on suspicion,

before Mayor llader, of llri-tol, Tenn. The
eridsnce was very damaging. He was

soon as lliey appeared.
ou# n'*n obtained an azoand (old |
Ill* crowd to follow. The door was caved
indft stream of angry men filled the jail.
The negro wax brought out, amid shouts
and elisors.
lly this time over three thousand incn had
assembled, nod as soon as the leaders started
to the woods it seemed as if the whole population
of Bristol was in pursuit. The excited
crowd carried liim to Lindsey's drove, a
mile from town, and swung him to a limb of
the nearest trco. His body fell a little, but
was finally secured. It hung in mid-air
four hours, when it was cut down by the
coroner's jury.
Wliilo the lynching was going on, one
negro said if their color had stuck together
the man would not have died. Immediately
after these words were spoken three or four
vented front lynching him.
Tlte negro (dark was a desperado, having
served a term in the Tennoesee and also the
Virginia penitentiary.
It is rumored horo that Frank Murlin, the
negro who killed Ircson severr I weeks ago.
will be lynched, hut he has fled.

of purchasing a number of the hotter classes
for thcCollfgo. He ostno to Charleston from
Sumter.
Mr. Norria said that the work on the College
buildings is progressing very satisfactorily.
That now since the authorities have '
been able to scoure the full quota fthc I'eni- i
tcntiary hands the work would go 01. more I
rapidly. The hands ore now making he- I

would before the oml of ll:u season, he
thought, have the six million brick necessary
for the work. Already there are b'2'2
applications in the hands of the trustees, and
they expected that before fall there would
he 1,000. So very fur above the expectations
of the authorities have tlio applications been
thnt it has been decided to make the capacity
of all the buildings twice as great us was
originally intended.
The corenioniea of laying the cornerstone
of the main building will ho held on
the JWlh of July. The speakers on this oc
casiou will be President Polk.ofthe Alliance,
Senator ltuist, of Charleston, and Dr. Hopkins,
of Atlanta.
Mr. Norris avoided the discussion of a'l
political questions. Concerning tlio third

Kansas City, Mo., June 10.?Tlio fourth of
the Vandero family at AtchisoD, Kansas, has
haen U\yin.jwlUy? 1'bS. father
family died Saturday. Two o'hers, it scorns,
cannot recover.
Tbo cases arc the rr;t vcmrirknblc ever
heard of in the West. 1*1 _.o are six
brothers and one sister in the family, and
there is considerable apprehension lest more
of them should be stricken. Dr. King says
that there is no doubt that the disease was
transmitted into the boys when they skinned
an affected calf nine years ago.
Thomas Vandero is resting easy. Tlio
condition of his mind is entirely changed
since yesterday morning. He is not quite
convinced that he will live. When Dr.
King called on him he was engaged in writing
a loiter of consolation to his father.
Jacob Vandover, a fifteen yean 11. boy, has
not taken a particle of nourishment since he
was attacked by rabies Saturday. The
peculiarity of the strange disease in centering
at the muscles of the throat completely
prevontod him from swallowing. The sight
of anything nourishing or iinvlliitur that
suggests swallowing draws liitu into most
horrible convulsions.
In Kr. Jones.?A past-midnight spocial to
The Statr front Lexington county this morning
announces that ltobert T. Jones, tlio slayer
of a family of three men six years ago, has,
after six trials, been convicted of mnu laughter.
The verdict is startling to civilization,
perhaps, hut it is one wliioh might have
been anticipated when the character of tho
jurors favored by law and the extraordinary i
prejudice against convicting white stic-u of
murder are considered. Here was a man
who had deliberately murdered three men
in odb afternoon s gunning, without provocation
and without ruth. Tried tivc times in his
own oountv of K.lg??r' i, !.o once convict - '
ed of manslaughter, ami four times the jury
disagreed, lho conviction of manslaughter ]
woa upset by the Supreme Court ; and the ,
resources of justice in lvlgcfield County
seeming exhausted, bis case was transferred ?
to Lcxiugton County, where his sixth trial i
has resulted in a verdict which is preposterous.
How long will our people connive at or en- 1
dure asystem of justice which permits such 1
outrages? r
How long will the ignorant juryman be s
supreme in our courts'.'
How long will South Carolina be content 1
to rest under the disgrace of such verdicts? 8

Death of Mr. Josiah Foster.
We are called upon this week lo announce
he death of Mr. Josiah Foster, which
iccurred at hisrcsidcr.ce, near Jones. illc,
sst Saturday morning, aft^r a brief illness,
it the great age of 85 years,?the 21st insl.
icing his birthday.
Mr. Foster connected himself with the
HluV.lUi OUm.U ?.V.?n ?vi'<tn s vounjr E'Sn,
and ever after lived a consistent christian
life.
His wife was a sister of Mr. Jehu Spears,
and preceded him to the grave about ten
years ag >.
Mr. Foster is supposed to he the last
member of his immediate family. He left
no children of his own, but several nieces
uid nephews, children of his brothers nnd
listers, survivo him. He left a large cstato,
which lie had accumulated by economy
m<l industry.
Intellectually, Mr. Foster was c nc of the
nost remarkable men of his generation. Hi
id neat inn wm very limited, l.n.ing only
dtended .schoolabout ten days in a'l bis life,
tut he was said to be one of the best read
nen of Ilia day.
l)n ono occasion, while convening with
Bill |>I sell III Ilia nllUWI -Ugti Ul inal Il ltJUUf,
ind said to him : "Mr. Fester, what College
are yon a graduate of?" Dr. Wofford was
still more amazed at his rcyly that he was
lint a graduate of any institution of learning.
Mr. Fostc.* ?m a very charitable man,
ind to-day f'Te arc a great many men who
itlributc their start and .success in life to
bis generosity and good advice. The poor
ihvnys had his assistance. None worthy
vere ever turned from Iris door empty
landed.
It is said that he gave eighteen thousand
lollars during his life towards building
liurclios and school house*.
Foster's Chapel, tint rightly bears bis
mine, was largely built by his liberality,
le gave a considerable amount towards
uilding Wesley's chapel, the Flat Hock and
onssvillo churches. Among liis first donaions
towards church building waa (bOO to.
mild the Methodist parsonage here. When
J11 ion was a District, many noble deeds of
linducss, of which but few know anything
ibout at the time, can be traced to his
iberul hand and kind heart.
lie had the love and respect of every one
vim knew liini, and it may be truly saidlist,
"A good man has fallen in Tsraol."
The body was interred in tho Foster
'Impel grave yard, beside bis wife, in the
ireience of a large miio.k'w cf fvlv.uls, wno
tad assembled to pay the last mark of repect
aud esteem to one whom they loved

but that ma> not represent a majority of the
individual men bcrs,?although perhaps it
does at this time, us the ipioilion has not
got beyond what may he called an ex parte
representation.
We make these prefatory remarks to lake
a shortcut, over somewhat irrelevant ground,
to the sub-treasury sebotne :
In noticing Mr. Otts' h.st, our ifilers
mils' remember that he has no* answered
either of our 'two points' cf I1 week before,
and only incidentally to them,
fu; he n.ita ? ? . ? _
-wVJtuortunatel;' for your argument, you
ignore an axiom of poliiial economy : "That
price is fixed by the amount of products on
the market, and the volume of money in circulation.
' The idea that the price of cotton
is fixed by thesizo of the crop alone is erroneous."
No, friend OLis, we neither ignored or
forgot that great ar.iom, with tlio tail to it
to suit the originators of tlie sub-treasury
sciicmo ; nor uul wc rorget that oilier equally
.suitml aud Troll i stablished axiom,?"an inflated
(you may call it by the inore( modern
panic, "flexible ) currency is the iftotlier of
inflated prices," particularly for the necessary
commodities of everyday life; and the
notorious fact stared us in the face, that the
Southern Farmer bui/a all those necessaries
while the Northern and Western Farmers
tell them, so that u<lll. *)-ulS.ft?X.fsrmers, but
^_|ppited prices, stimu,ato(l by tbe
inwHIMub-trensury currency.
li must not be forgotten that vn|v |lboul
one-third of the cotton raised in tl|0*g0U,j| jg
consumed In this country, while (be 0,iier
two-thirds Is bought and consumed by j.-?r0.
peon Manufacturers, who conduct nj| (heir
business transactions strictly Mp0Il (he
universal metallic or gold c^lf?ncy
and it is not likely that they .,iu bc lnovCll
from that bass by an inflation n (bjg coun4ry
that may collapse in a few m<m4hs. When
the Southern Farmer storey jlis Cotton
for higher prices, and r?ee-ves M0 pcr
cent of its value in sub-trew^y raonev.
the Northern and Wcslorn Farmcra w*m
be storing their food sun^ics up#n (he
same terms, for the earn purpose> whslo
the European spiunejjf Jvcn if our own
Mills should ^>lb^uppliedI will l>"
along, da bat# or quarter time, with
Egyptian Cotton, anl occasionally throwing
out a bait of higher prices for our cotton,
with their orders already placed with agents
in New Orleans, Mobile, Charleston and
other important points, to buy a certain number
of bales, and then close the doors.
They will dictate the price, sure, and 110
legislation or inflation of currency ia this
country can prevent it.
The practical result of the < ?. Treasury
scheme, in the South, in our oniniun will 1>?
(he Farmers storing their cotton and receiving
80 per cent of its vnluc in inflated currency
will find, when they come to buy supplies
with it, that the purclmsiog value of
that earrency is reduced considerably bycorresponding
inflated prices for every
artie'e they buy, from a mule shoe to a inulo,
plow, or a pound of coffee. And we would
not be surprised if, after counting up all the
costs and passing it through the
warehouse, if^re Farmers did not discover
that flic 80 per cent advance was about all
they realized from their Cottcn.
And at the close of the year, with perhaps
one-half the old crop in the warehouses, we
would sec the same "volume of Jlrxihlc currency"
that has been contracting and expanding
(?) all the past year, going in at one ( <
iuor oi ihe warciiouse to release the balance j
of the old crop,at a very reduced price, and |
joining out at another door to perform similar
lexihle duties for the new crop the next 1
pear.
"Hut, says Mr. Otis, with the Suh-Trcasiry
system, corners awl combines would be \
inkiiown. simply because, when money gets
t'ght" and prices fall, as the natural result j
if the increased volume of business, over a
ixed and inflexible volume of currency,
aused by dumping the bulk of the cotton
rop on the market at one season of the year, I
he farmer would naturally deposit his cot- I ,
on, and the money issued against it would
net'ease the amount of money in circulation. (
n exact ratio tfr tbo Increased demand for 1
noney. 1

their food supplies, the colto- mid owners
and speculators for the price of their cotton, |
with an inflated currency, causing inflated <

wear and use, is a mystery we cannot solve. '
It may lie hidden in the secrets of the (
Alliance.
Mr. Otts' definition of the noble doctrine 1
of the Alliance,?"equal rights to all, special 1
privileges to none,"?amounts to the differ- ,
encc between tweedle-dce and twcedle-dum. I
He says it doe.?i not moan want it says, but j
"equal available beneficial privileges to all."
By that we infer lie means to t?ll us that the
Sub treasury does not violate that principle,
because it offers privileges which all can avail
themselves of. But iho law itself plainly
daaios that posifion, by specifying that only
five articles of only one class of producers
shall be received in the warehouses and made
available (o obtain its benefits. If it is meant
to offer the benefits to all classes, why docs
it excludo all other products of labor but
corn, flour, oats, hay aud cotton.
Men have been elected to oflice, are fighting
for oflice, and are holding oflice upon
tbe Sub treasury hobbie.
We have given our readers the main reasons
for being opposed to the Sub-treasury
scheme, and with this we individually close
the discussion, as it occupies too much time
and space.

We would he "a man or a mouse or a m

fighting these measures we would resign, cl
step down and out; and take our position r<

to do this or summon courage enough to be

The preacher took for bis text,?"Know

His eulogy upon the life and character of
