At the Governor's; elections these States in the spring of it year, the Republicans carried w Hampshire by 2,167, Rhode land by 1,065, and Connecticut by )01. The politicians are not active is year in eitheir of these States, d whilst only a light vote will be lIed the probability is that the Re. blicans will carry them as usual. Tree Planting in Mlinnesota. A cull ii made in Minnesota upon 1 .Legislaturc of that State not to jurn without taking some action the matter of appropriating a sum mioncy for the purchase of seeds d trees to be distributed to each 6vn throughout the State. It is es cially urged that trees be planted the prairies of the State, for the nefit of the farmers who fill up the oad stretch of land between the il roads and rivers, so that they sy thus fence their roads and farmis th~ forest trees. Already has this en done to some extent. The sys. mi has been adopted oni all the lines the St. Paul and Pacific lBail Road, d already have many miles of trees en planted.

The trial of Wolfe for the mur. der of Perrin came off in Charleston last week and the defendant was con victed of m:iislaughter. Wim. H. Brawley, Eq., Solicitor 6th Circuit, appeared for the prosecution and by his skillful management of the case added new laurels to his already dis tinguished name. The Charleston News in Its report of the trial speaks of Mr. Brawley as followu: The defence having concluded, the court took a receqs from three o'clock until half-past five, whon a danse crowd having assembled in the court. room, Mr. Brawley, the acting solici tor, began his argument, which con suimed the whole evening until nine o'clock, and was pronounced on all sides one of the most eloquent appeals ever made bofore the bar. Ile allu ded to certain remarks made by the last counsel for the defence that the prisoner's only hope was in the jury: he could understand all this pa. raphernalia of woe ; now he under. stoed why that poor, weak woman had been dragged from the privacy of her home to be jostled by the rude touch (if men ; now he understood why those innocent babes were dragged from their cradle ; it meant that a new issue had been raised, that the jury are to decide this ease accord ing to their sympathies, and not by the law and the evidence. The solicitor then went into a lengthy, thorough and exhaustive re view of the facts of the case and the law bearing upon them, and enzed in an eloquent appeal to the jury to do their duty fearlessly. It wjs for them to say whetber the life of their fellow-oitizen should be protected ; whether the stranger could come in their midst without being shot down in cold blood as Harry Perrin.; The result of their decision would ddeide.

On Friday night, the rice mill of Mr. Charles Cieves, in Beaufort, county, was destroyed by an incen diary fire. It was under lease to Chas.

In his argument before Judge Car. penter, in Columbia, on Thursday, Attorney-General M elton took occea sioni to say that in every instance where the State Treasurer or County Treasurers, have, in violat ion of the provisions oif the Const it ution, divert. ed funds in their hands from the purposes for which they were levied, lie should hold them responsible under their officeial bonds, and make themi answerable before the Courts bo'thI civil and criminal.- Chsarleston Aews.

C. Millet, Esq., superinten dent of the Port Royal Railroad, was presented on the 12th instant with a gold watch and chain and a meer sobhaum pIpe by the employees of tho The Swamp Angels--lenry Berry Lowery Said to be Alive. A report has reached here from Robseson county via Florence, South Carolina, to the effect that Honry Berry Lowery, the obsof of the lats gang of outlaws, so long a terror to the peoplo of that section, is not dead but prooubly now living in New York city. The persons from w'hom this infor. mation came issupp)sed to hove been one of a party who endeavored to intiuidate one of the Uerald corres pondents by threateming bin with ar rest by the civil nuthorities while he was invetigating the status of the out. laws. He Pays that since the Lum. berton Baik.was rubbed of some thir. ty thousand dollars, and the stores of that town of about three thousand dollars' worth of goods, Henry Berry Lowery has not been seen by any white person in the county. Ile aserts that the reports of the death of the outlaw chief by the acci. dental discharge of his own gun or by assassination by one of the gang are both false. Ile etates, however, that a colored man in his employ. muentsaw Ihenry Berry Lowery alive, well and armed cap a pie, after be was reported killed and while the [Herald correspondent was still a cap tive with the gang. In order to confirm his assertion he says that Rhoda Lowery receives packages of clothing, jewelry and oth er articles by express from New York, which must come from her husband, though probably through the collu sion of a third party. There is very little credit given here to this report, the Herald's version of his death be. ing generally eonceded to be correct ; but I give it for its worth, in the hope that if the outlaw is alive he may be ciptured and brought to justice. There is $10,000 reward offered by the State and $1,000 by the coun ty for the capture of this fatous out In w, d.ead or alive.- Wil. Cor. N. Y. Herald. liems. Pennsylvania has a ventriloquial )at.

Mr. Colfax's position as a Credi Mobilier share holder is no longe the main element in his case. He i on trial before the people whom h( was elected faithfully to represent and before the party some of whose highest honors he has received, noi so much for dabbling in stock whicl he ought never to have thought of touching, but for having quibbed and prevaricated in regard to transactions whose criminalty he indirectly ad, mitted, by taking unworthy nean to disguise his connection with them. Mr. Colfax ought, like the humblest of his fellow-citizens, to have all the fair suspense of judgement which can justly be claimed on the scoro of a long and hitherto unblemished public career. His statements, moreover, ought to have the superior weight duo to them when laid against the confus ed recollection and fragmentary notes of a convicted briber like Oakes Ames. But when all such deductions have been made in Mr. Colfax's favor, it must be conceded that every step of his justifieation becomes more difficult, from the discovery, that no statement yet made by him has conveyed the entire truth in regard to the trans actions covered by it. This perpetu al necessity to meet now discoveries by fresh explanation, instead of an ticipating these discoveries by a full and explicit narrative, cannot but be very damaging to the Vice President. ColliAlong at sea-lternational Con tract. There should undoubtedly be a general international contract framed to cover, with strict exactness, the whole subject of collisions at sea. The general principle of maritime comity is, that in ease of all such accidents, however trifling, the ships shoul:l stand by each other until mutually assured that neither is in danger. But there is no certain means, as the Northfleet and Murillo example shows of enforcing this principle, or of pun ishing its violation in special cases - and as that example likewia 0 shows, therecan be no security that brutes may not be fond on occasion to profit by the technioal immunity. Conse quently, there is need of an express provision, to be engrated upon currout international law, and submitted for the.formal assent of all the civilized powers. Only by making the punish. ment of such infamous barbarity as that of the officers of the Murillo swift and sure, and applicable to all flags and all seas can we establish a guarantee against its repetition.-N. Y. 'Jimes. A Document that will Create a Stir in Washington, A memorial to the United States Senate, protesting against the seating of Patterson, has been prepared by a few citizens of Columbia, and has been extensively signed by the citi zens generally and members of the Liegislature. It is to be forwarded to Washingto to-morrow morning. The memorial recites that charges against Patterson and Worthington, his agent, of bribery and attempting to bribe members of the Legislature are now pending, and are matters of record in the Court of General Ses sions -for Richland Coun ty. It cit es the case of Lee, Miller and Duncan as amnong mlany other cases of mem bers of t~be Legislature who have testi fled as to these transactions? and prays that a full investigation be made of the truth or falsity of these charges before the seat be awarded Patterson.
