/ CARNOT ASSASSINATED. AN ITALIAN ANARCHIST 81AI1S TUB I'lUSIDKXT OF FRAWfif Lyons, June '2.A.?The most intense excitement has been caused everywhere in France by what will probably prove a sueF ccssful attempt to assassinate President firnot. To dc-cribe the excitement in this city r would be almost impossible. The President was visiting Lyons in connection with the International Exhibition. Upon his arrival j here he was tendered a reception at the pre- i feclure, alter which lie visited the exhibition. ! After spending some time at the exhibition lie proceeded to the Palais do Commerce, j whero il Ipiiiniii'l warn irivtmi 111 lr< linn.n* At 9.25 o'clock to-night Presidcut (,'arnot j started fcr the theatre, where a gala per- I foriuunce was to be given because of his j presence in the city. Several carriages were in the procession, the lir.-t one being occttpie i i by the President. Curuot's carriage was I driven slowly u'ottg in front of the Pu'ace of Coiutucrce, and then turned into the Hue de la llcptiblique, still following the facade of the palace. When half way down the street, which was lined with enthusiastic j crowds of people, who were loudly cheering, j a man ru-hed out of the crowd and sprang i upon the steps of the President's landau. Just at this moment t'arnot was waviu;; his right hand, saluting with his hat in his left hand, in response to the ovation that ' was being given hint by the crowd The i people close to the carriage saw that the man ; tiding 011 the step had a knife in hi> hau l, the glare of the electric lights tliey saw blade gleaming in s nnn descended, and then President wis to ^H^^^^^^B^^^^Vcathly li MBHQBSfl^Pcd over his heart steel had entered It's body. Mr. liivaud, prefect of l.yons, who wa? ( seated behind t'arnot, struck the assassin a j blow full in the face and knocked him from i the step thus preventing the tu t 11 from again 1 stabbing the President, wlneli it tva< h- I evident intention to do. Instantly cries of "l.e President t-t a- asin!" "Mi rte l'assassin !" wt re heard on every side, and the crow 1 in the vicinity of 1 he cat ringc swelled to ciicrtiioit? proprrtioiis every member of it se tuiu :ly intent upon killing the u?sus?iii. lie was gra?pel by a dozen bunds and li's life would have then and there pai I the forfc t of his criuic lia 1 it not been for severii sergeants who arrested liitn and attempted to draw Inn away from liis captors.

At last the police succeeded in deiving the how! iug mob back a fo jt or >o from their prisoner, but to move tue cipl.ve \v:i- a physical impossibility. In tic meantime the news of the attempted murder hail spread with lightning-like rapidity, and mounted guards were sent m the ail of the policemin. who win struggling to preserve tt>c lif of the as-aWith drawn sabres in their han Is the gum- . | rode dowu into the swilling rnwd, which slowly gave way before the h rses, mil at last the centre of the m>b was reached. Then a cordon was formed around the ten almost exhausted policemen at.d their captive was marched to the polio; station. liven thus surrounded the prisoner was not safe, as men in the crowd made frantic endeavors to reach him. The guards repelled these attacks with tiro tlat side of their swords, whi'c at the same time keeping watchful eyes upon the crowd to prevent the prisoner from being shot. .Maledictions ( IMpIt routed upon the captive and never be ^lUivlias such a wild indignation against a human being been seen iu this city. In the menntimo physicians were hastily summoned to a'tend the l'resideut, who had almost immediately been conveyed to the prefecture.

The news spread wildly to every part of the city. Infuriated crowds tilled the streets.

A high in oral sentiment, incub ated in a great measure by the agitation of temperance by individuals and through the various temperance at.d other moral organizations, is growing stronger and stronger every day against the u-*"f iutoxi "ants as a beverage.

It -'usurer foiinlation than arbitrary e t. ; ,1-ary law, and the reform built upon it ts -'.under and tune permanent, bee aii-e : the many pr >p- wliieli stand ready to prevent its falling. As afutlher evi lence of the progressive and beneficent >p:iit of temperance in the town, we call to uiiud n any who twentylive yers ag) were habitual hard drinkers. Then society winked at it, and an occasional drunk furnished funny jokes for the socinl eiroles to hiugli at. Nearly all of those men have gone to their eternal homes ; lut it is gratifying to note that in later years a large numher of them became temperate, nyc, religious men, and caMi year the number of those happy reformations have increased. until now, although we are aware that much whiskey is still drank in I'nLu. an habitual drunkard is rare among us. A; any rate, it there are more drunkards than we think, temperance and society have gtiuedaxe y important step forward, in the fact that they are ashamed of their unfortunate habit and Jo not blaznt it before the w 1 hi ; an i -oe ety now lo^ks upon "an oeei-i J' I (V very, vew^fv/ joke.

M. Urimbull, of this town, a graduate of deduction from the Charleston , ut the late commencement exercises of iuut institution : A piano duet l>y Misses Konig and Vcrncr happily dispelled any slut le of pathos. A tenderly fanciful romance, brilliantly executed, followed l>y a minuet, expressed the DO liny oi I no 9 uiuugm, ai mv same time the performers' appreciation and ability. All hearts were thus tuned to the dainty, ethereal, tender ^ruces of the scene before I'rospero's cell. Miss Elizabeth Grimbull taking four characters. This charming number, so admirably worked out in its wide eeope of seus'.bility, "from grave to gry. froui lively to severe,'' was highly suggestive of the spice of l.fe," "as changeful as man, and because of that change as bewitching bs woman." The speaker's voice, attuned to run the gamut of feeling, was that of Israiel. Miss Grimbdl possesses a magnetism that will almost make the impossible easy, l'o Miss Gritiiball, who has taken the highest course under Mi-s Jenkins, study.ng earnestly during years crowded with serious work of the regular school course, was presented a jewel in gracious acknowledgment of her faithfulness. The essays were so singularly free from any suggestion of the novice that each is highly deset ving of u spec al mention Miss Euzaheth Griui ball's "Fatuous Women of the French Revolution'' held all the lire of burning impulse, the impetuosity, the cruelty cl a fickle French mob. Each sentence, ripe will fart an I suggestion, with 1 delivery which hosp ke vocal training, contributed to make this paper one of the most enjoyable fea'uio- of the evening. Its brief outline was: "What will not woman, gentle woman, due'." The influence and patriotism of Madame Roland, "A woman mixed -with such pure elements That were all virtue and re'igion dead She'd make them newly, being what she was." Charlotte Cor lay. the "Celes'ial Vengeance." who "threw her arm and destiny athwart the Revolution." her heroism and j martyrdom.

Now. as tIk-re i? 110 better way o exteini tragic than that of building a direct adroad. and knowing that you are intercstd in such an enterprise, and remembering cir con versa'inis on the subject at the sev>ral times of my visits to South Carolina, 1 id lrcss you this letter. In the first plica, Kansas City and the leeplo of the West generally are not mini ml ful of their interests. While it is true hat we can reach tide water on the coast of I'exas at a distance of about three hundred nilvs less tliuii we can reach the Atlantic leaboard, yet the tvine from here to Kurope ria the Carolina ports is about fifteen liutiIrod miles shorter than via Texas pons We realize that the salvation of the West iud Central We-t depends very 1 irgely on he extent with which wo utilize b.>th routes. In short, our pvofde are not at all modest : h?-y want "ever; thing in sight. i hnrleston mi I oilier Carolina ports are lece-sible to the West, hut inasmuch as 'barlest ii has deep water, is n great comuercial centre ami lias uiiicii local capital, it s probab'y the l?c-t point for the llastern er miiius. At the time of the Hiring t i urc I, cs a ivil engineer and !/eol 'gist, was making a iri>!iniiii-irv siirviiv . r reeomiuis llico of a u'j'o from Kansas City s-utitItcust. It is that mulct* a new management the tine enterprise may 'o revived. The Ivuia-< t'i'y. U.scc>la and Southern Kailruid is >ui t from here to Oceol i, one limnlre I ami .hirty-.-even miles in the right direction. It is the property of John 1. BUir, of Ulairsrnvn;itrJ. mrryauuui yens -xmi ami, course, tiitisi soon permit tlic road to go nlo other bauds The natural route to tlic seaboard appears 0 be via New Madrid, Mo., or some neighboring point on the Mississippi Kiver. thence ia Nashville and lvuoxvillc, 'l'eun., (lendersonville, Chimney Hock, N. (1 , U iffncy, S. and thence down Broad Hivpr and on southeast to Charleston. This would give easy grades over the Blue KiJge and all intervening mountains 'l itis would utilize the charter in North and South ,'arohna that tlie company holds to which fott belong. The immense water power aloug Broad Kiver for seventy-live utiles could bo developed if litis road was built, and manufictttrtig towns could be founded that would afford 1 vast <|uantiiy of local traffic. The remittees of the eouutry along this route arc wonderful. They consist of limber, marble, ;rat.t'e, avioj:; ntinera's, ineluduig gold )t*es, grain, live stock, cotiott, ri?c end limtty liter tteiits of eijital importmet. Above all he through traffic from the South Atlantic sou lit ry tind the Old World to the great West and lite return of our great store of igricultural and grazing products would unlot^te Ijy a "sum c gigantic proportions, fitoit, again, lhi? ,i,i;r.ad wnu'd be another ink in lite boti i or chain thai, oimjs the West to i lie S .tit It.

Correspondence of the Timks. Commeucemeutat Santuo Santic, Juue ?One of the pleasintest social occasions of tho season at Ibis place was a delightful picnic, given at tlie closing exercises of the Sautuc Academy, on Fiiday, June 22nd The Principal, l'rof. IV. \V. llruce, worked indefatigibly to make 1*" .? ".i-.a-uo Km Ifivimr inlnri^tini | I 111- I'llUIl < 3UVKI03, K.J ......,b n I addresses ;iud every oilier thing suitable to the occasion ; and his efforts wero crowned with success. Mr. Ilruce is a man win believes in success, and wheu he takes hold of anything his chief object is success, and ho works up to it. In due time a largo crowd gathered in the grove around the II iptist church and about eleven o'clock the exercises was begun by singing "Sweetly [testing." Then an approp.iutc prayer by Kev. \Y. K. llarr. I'rof. litticc then introduced the first speaker, J. C. Wallace, lisq., of the Union liar, who expressed great pleasure in being again permitted to nitugle with tho people ot this community, giving it considerable praise, for which i vo ce the sentiment of ail in stying he Citried with him mtiuy thanks, lie said he could safely speak of the | e tple here as friends, as lie has been gt.ing in and around the pi tec a considcrab'c part of his lite, lie then took a retrospective vijw of his very youthful (and a little later) days, of the many very pleasant associations among the people of litis place, while the hearts of all seemed upon to him, , giving him the as-uranco that they were indeed friends. Ilis speech was. of course, on cduca'lou, and he dwelt on muscular education as woll as on mind education, lie likened tho ehi'd's mind to in un-haped billet of steel, and tlie sclto dhouse an I teacher to a smithy and smith Li shape it itit > useful ius'ruuients. He made special tilks to the liitle 1 * ? li lying that he ha 1 had asiiitlc trouble with bis scholars as lie supposed it was po*aibli. "?' ILiL _ ^ beiog very proud of his school, having formed a deep affection for the scholars, and assuring the pa rous that he worked to the best <;f his ability for the advancement ol the children, and that if lie should be called to another field other than tlii?, lie would feel happy in knowiug that he did his best to do his duty here, and wherever lie may iu the future work, lie would always carry pleasant recollections of the scholars, and in his hcarf love for them lie spoke very tcuchiqgly of his separation troui them, for awhile, ut least ; it may be forever. President B. B. Craighead, of Clerosou Agricultural College, then addressed the audience, and was listened to with undivided attentiou from everyone. All who heard him it will hear me out in saying that his address was ju?t splendid. lie spoke of bis interest being identified with that of farmers, lie being the honored I'resi lent of a Farmers College, in wlrch nearly every stu lent was a farmer's son, and of the nrni j reus ins that he was glad that lie came here, the chief ones weio to tpjdrcs.. this school, an 1 the pleasure of seoing sevs era! parents who had sons under liitu in Clcmson College. He said it had been suppi>s d that when u speaker went to address a . country people, he must inake his speech thin and intersperse it with anecdotes, but lie, as u son of o, farmer resented it. lie took for his subjcut. "The printing pre**, g pnvcrful factor iu civilizuiou." 1 wish, Mr, Cd>tor, you could have heard it. He spoke of many great a lvancewcuts it ha l been instrumental in cariying forward, the educai on had wrought, from the invention of ihe first printing pies*, up to the present time. Hut said that while it could do su much good, and Was d >ing so, the press w*a i)it without faults, aui rebuked, verV scverc'y, the .our^e cf vijmc papers of tht) I resent time iu using so mifch slander, an if vtiurperti'lon of their_fellow men, and uspecia ly their political ojipouents making theni unfit for family reading, and losing ground as an educational tactof.
