Ltnciirn at Midhout.?Bristol, Tenn.. <j June 13.?The whole city la intensely excited I over a lynching that occurred here at 1 o'clock this afternoon. As has been state') . in the press, a horrible outrage was committed on tlie person of Mrs. John Warren, n respectable whitn lady, last Sunday morning abeut 8 o'clock. Officers and detectives worked diligently, trying with all their power to apprehend the guilty wre'eh. , Tuesday night, Bob Clark, a colored boy. twenty years o'd was arretted on suspicion. Yesterday and to-day his trial came off before Mayor ltader, of Bristol, Tenn. The evidence was very damaging. He was bound over to court this morning and was l^lhonk tn.UiJ, dffircV^n. In an hour huutfreda of people, all colors, ages and races had gat beret round the jail. Prominent men or the city male speeches loiid and long, begging ihc excited and outraged people to disperse and let the law take ioon r .!' y were hissed doWQ " soon as they appeared. At last oua man obtained an axe and told ind ^7 follow. The door was caved ThJ ? m of1aDgrj mcn fi'led the jail. ?lnd chtgera. WaS brought out- amid "bouts as.1in.Si8itime.0Ter lhree ^'ousand men had assen.Wed, and as soon as the leaders started to the woods it seemed as if the whole ronu lation of Bristol was in pursuit. Tbo excited crowd carried him to I.indsey's Grove, 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. While the lynching was going on, one negro said if their color had stuck together the man would not have died. Immediately affier theec words were spoken threo or four vented from lynching him. The negro Clark was a desperado, having served a term in the Tennessee and also the Virginia penitentiary. It is rumored here that Frank Martin, the negro who killed Ircson severrl weeks ago. will be lynched, but he has fled. Cows for Clrmsux.?M:. D. K. Norris, one of the trustees of the Clemson College, arrived in the city yesterday. He is here in the interest of the experimental station connected with the Clemson College, and is now visiting and inspecting the herds of fine stock throughout the State with a view of purchasing a number of the better classes for the College. He csme to Charleston from Sumter. Mr. Norris said that the work on tho College buildings is progressing very satisfactorily. That now since the authorities have ; been able to secure the full quota .f the Peni- j tentiary hands the work would go on more ranidlv. The hands arc now making beIwWB ovjvW Qutx " ? -i - y ? would before the oud of tho season, he thought, have the six million brick necessary for the work. Already there are 522 applications in the hands of the trustees, and they expected that before fall there would be 1,000. So vory far above the expectations of the authorities have the applications been that it has been decided to make the capacity of all the buildings twice as great as was originally intended. The ceremoniea of laying the cornerstone of the main building will be held on the 2Sth of July. The speakers on ibis oc casiou will be President Polk, of the Alliance, Senator Buist, of Charleston, and Dr. Hopkins, of Atlantu. Mr. Norris avoided the discussion of a'l political questions. Concerning the third party movement he thought there was ample time for its consideration.?Charletton World. Hemarkabi.f. Cask of Htdroimiobia.? Kansas City, Mo..

The cases are the Erect remarkable ever heard of in the West. Th:re are six brothers and one sister in the family, and there is considerable apprehension lest more of them should be stricken.

The condition of liis mind is entirely changed since yesterday morning. He is not quite convinced that he will live. When I)r. King called on bira he was engaged in writing a letter of consolation to his father. Jacob Yandever, n fifteen year elT 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 prevented him from swallowing. The sight of anything nourishing or anything that suggests swallowing draws him into most horrible convulsions. (? In Rn Jones.? K past-midnight special to The State from Lexington county this morning announces that Robert T.Jones, the slayer of a family of three men six years ago, has, after six trial*, been eonvicted of manslaughter. The verdict i* startling to civilization, perhaps, but it ie one whioh might have been anticipated when the character of tho jurors favorod by law and the extraordinary prejudice ag"<net convicting white men of muider arc conJdered. Here was a man who bnd deliberately murdered three men in one afternoon's gunning, without provocation and without ruth. Tried five times in his own oounty of Edgefield, he was once convicted of manslaughter, and four times the jury disagreed. 1 ho conviction of manslaughter was upset by the Supreme Court; and tho resources of justice in Edgefield County seemiog exhausted, bis case was transferred to Lexiugton County, where his sixth trial has resulted in a verdict which is preposter VHO. How long will our people connive At or endure a system of justice which permits such outrages? How long will the ignerant juryman be supreme in our courts? How long will South Carolina be content to rest under the disgrace of such verdicts ? ? Tnr State. Baslk's Railroad Horror.?llernc, June 15.?Further de'ails received from the scene of the terrible railroad accident which occurred yesterday nt a village near Basle, on the Moenchenstein and Basle railroad, show that two engines and three carriages loaded with excursionist fell into the stream whioh flowed beneath tho iron bridge which gave way and caused the disaster. cT/ie lou of Life.?The total number of people who lost their lives, is now placed at one hundred and twenty, with a hundred more or less injured.

Wo are called upon this week to announce ie death of Mr. Josiah Foster, which scurred at his residence, near Jonesvillc, st Saturday morning, aft#r a brief illness, . the great age of 83 years,?the 21st inst. jing his birthday. Mr. Foster connected himself with the akin (yiiU_a JtomUJl'.IB, nd ever after lived a consistent christian fe. JI is wife was a sister of Mr. Jehu Spears, ad preceded him to the grave about ten cars ngt. Mr. Foster is supposed -to be the last lembcr of his immediate family. He left o children of his owu, but several nieces id nephews, children of his brothers and slers, survive him. Ho left a large estate, hich he bad accumulated by economy id industry. Intellectually, Mr. Foster was one of the lost remarkable men of his generation. Hi: lucition was very limited, hc\ing only Ltended school about ten days in all his life, at he was said to be one of the best read ten of his day. On ono oooaeion, while oaavaWMMt, WlV urpr sew inure ?uuwirugw* ui iWlhtutR, ' nd said to him : "Mr. Fester, what College re you a graduate of?" Dr. Wofford was till more amazed at his reply that he was ot a graduate of any institution of learning. Mr. Foster was a very charitable man, nd to-day there are a great many men who ttributo their start and success in life to is generosity and good advice. The poor lways had his assistance. None worthy rerc ever turned from his door empty andod. It is said that he gave eighteen thousand ollars during his life towards building liurches and school houses. Foster's Chapel, that rightly bears his amc, was largely built by his liberality. Ie gave a considerable amount towards uilding Wesley's chapel, the Flat Roek and onesville churches. Among his first donaIons towards church building wm 9600 uj uild the Methodist parsonage here. When..' Jnion wis a District, many noble deeds of .indness, of which but few knew anything bout at the time, can be traced to his iberal hand and kind heart. He had the love and respect of every one rho knew him. and it may be truty saidhat, "A good man ha* fallen in Israel." The body was interred in tho Foster lhapel grave yard, beside his wife, in llie irescnce of a large concourse of friends, who ad assembled to pay the last mark of repect and esteem to one whom they loved nd revered. leath of Mr. J. G. Oetzel. un last Tuesday morning, a telegram was ceived here from Glena Springs, announcig the death of Mr. John Q. Oetzel, which iccurred that morning, at West Springs. Mr. Oetzel'e death was not unexpected to ie family and friends, as information ofhia svere illness was received the day before, nd his son, Mr. O. H. Oetzel, had gone to is bedside. The deceased had been in failing healih or some months, and bis physioian advised iin to try a change. So lost Monday week e went to West Springs, where he gradually rew worse until Tuesday morning, at which ime he died. Mr. Oetzel, with his family, came from Irooklyn, N.

We make these prefatory remarks to take a shortcut, over somewhat irrelevant ground, to the sub-tressury scheme : )( In noticing Mr. OtU' List, our leaders ^ must remember that he has not answered either of our "two points' cf li t week be- ^ fore, and only ineidentally refers to them. ^ EiiL he y.vs; t - . 4^ ?^rtlortunat?y for your argument, you ignore ah axiom of politial economy : "That price is fixed by the amount of products on sli the market, and the volume of money in cir- ^ culation." The idea that the prioe of cotton tQ is fixed by the size of the crop atone is erroneous." No, friend Oils, we neither ignored or ct forgot that great axiom, with the tail to it to suit the originators of (lie sub-treasury 'r scheme ; nor did we forget that other equally sound and well established axiom,?"an in tinted (you may call it by the more/ modern 8< 9&me, "flexible') currency is the ipotber of s( inflated (trices," particularly for the neeeasary commodities of everyday lifei and the ftl notorious fact stared us in the face, that the Southern farmer buy all those pecessaries while the Northern snd WeMen* Farmers ? jtfU,tl(MUSj^)aat 9fill opf farmers, but C -V|j^BpPtre'cl pricesTmmiiletedbythe r inWKiMreasurj currency. It must not be forgotten that i,Diy about a one-third of the cotton raised in til0 South is 81 consumed in this country, while the other two-third* Is bought snd consume^ by Europeon Manufacturers, who conduct &u their T business transactions strictly Up0n the universal Metallic or gold ci^ncy basis, E and it is not likely thst they ,m be moved from that bast by an inflation ,n this country " that may oOltapsc in a few mc,nt]? When the 'Southern Farmer storey j,is Cotton V for higher-^prices, and r#ce?ivt8 go per h cent of its value in sub-trc&gury money, the Northern and Western f]parmora wjh * be storing.. their food sunpjie, upon the same term#, for the purpose, while * the European even if our own ^"tnillrt?- time, ' with J Egyptian'Cotton, had occasionally throwing oat a bait of higher prices for our cotton, with their orders already plaoed 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 no legislation or inflation of currency in this ^ country can prevent it. . The prsctleal result, of the sub-Treasury scheme, in the South, in our opinion, will be; ^ the Farmers storing their cotton and reoeiv- ^ ing 80 per cent of its value in inflated surrency will find, when they come to buy supplies witli it, that the purchasing value of that currency is reduced considerably by ^ corresponding inflated prices for every ^ article they buy, from a mole aboe to a mule, plow, or a pound of aoffee. And we would not be surprised if, after oounttng np all the pHtpy it through the warehouse,V * termers did not discover that the 80 per cent advice was about all T v.. i:.~4 mo/ iruiiAOU " vm iuvii vuuvu. And nt the elose of the year, with perhaps fc one-half (he old crop in the warehouses, we would see the lame "volume of flexible currency" that has been contracting and expanding (?) all the past year, going in at one * door of the warehouse (o release the balance 11 of the old crop,at a very reduced price, and ^ coming out at another door to perform similar flexible duties for the new crop the next " year. A "But, saya Mr. Otts, with the Sub-Treasury system, eornen and combine! would be D unknown, simply because, when money gets "tight" and prices fall, as the natural result p of tbe increased volume ef business, over a fixed and inflexible volume of currenoy, caused by dunfp'mg the bulk of the cotton crop on the market at one season of the year, tbe farmer would naturally deposit his oot- . ten, and thh'tnoney islned against it would increase Mrf ameont of money in eireulation.

Mr. Otts' definition of the noble doctrine n< the Alliance,?"equal rights to all, special " ivilcgcs to none,"?amounts to the differ- cj. ce between tweedle-dee and tweedle-dutn. Si He says it does not mean waat it says, but ?c iqual available beneficial privileges to alt." y that we infer he means to tell us that the ib treasury does not violate that prinolple, icause it offers privilege* which all can avail lemselves of. Out ihe law itsolf plainly mios that position, by specifying that only h re articles of only one class of producers tl tall be received in the warehouses and made ^ railable to obtain its benefits. If it is meant (| i offer the benefits to all classes, why docs ? exclude all other products of labor but k >rn, flour, oats, hay and cotton.

There has been a great change in the prioe f land where Kelton now stands, in the last fly years. 1 was talking with an old riend a few days baok, and he told me that ioce he could remember, there were over iirco {hundred acres of land round and bout the town of Kelton, sold for an oldimc rifle, and it has not been but a few reeks since Mr. J. W. Smith sold two aores | ,t fifty dollars per acre, on which the olored people are putting up an A. M. E. Ihuroh. Now I will endearor to say a few words ibout those Alliance members who are dways ready to criticise certain Alliance plans. _We would be '^a man or a mouse or a )f winch 00 perv cent iuHorsed certain aeasuros, before we joined the enemy in Sgbting these measures we would resign, itep down and eut; and take our position with the natural enemies of the order. If ire could not get the consent of our minds 0 do this or summon courage enough to be 1 man, we would go olf, crawl in a bole and lie. The most miserable despioablespectral imaginable is a man who assists the natural tnemies to destroy or impair the order to irbich he belongs.
