The telegraph briugs accounts of a a
fearful earthquake in Now Grenade
that destroyed twenty thousand peo. d
ple. If we owned property in New b
Grenada we *ould sell out and move I
to Brooklyn. It's better to live a
on the brink of a moral Niagara than r
on the ragged edge of an earthquake. t
Tilton clainst'ot found three t
rew witnesses, one an apothecary
who sold poison to Beecher about
the time that he is alleged to have
throatenod to commit suicide, and v
two:others, carpet layers, who claim t
to have have ocular proof 'of t
Boooehr's crime. It is said an effort f
will be made to open the case to ad- i
mit this testimony. i
The Union-Heraid hints that Gov.
Scott's 'ocent letter was actuated by
the probability of a democratic vic
tory. If Gov. Scott proposes to
join the domoratio party he is only
following an example sot by many
republicans lately-an example that
even the Union-Herald might be wise
to follow.
We repeat a suggestion, made some
time since, that the distriot meetings
on the 26th June, pass resolutions
regarding ir tax levy for the ensuing
fiscal year. This bill will be vetoed.
But the veto must be sustained by
the Legislature. We therefore sug,
goat that the following, or similar
resolutions be passed at every distriot
meeting in this County. .
Isolved Ist, That we are willing
to pay taxes sufficient to meet the
legitimate expenses of the govern
mont, and no more.
2d, That the proposed tax levy for
the year 1874-5 is exorbitant.
3d, That the Governor is hereby
requested to voto the said bill, and
all others of similar import.
4th, That the members of the Leg.
islature are instructed to sustain such
a veto, and to vote for a moderate rate
of taxation.
A New Motive Power.
New York is running mad over
an invention whioh promises to revo
lutionize science. A Mr. John W.
Keely of Philadelphia professes to
have discovere'd, after fourteen years
of unroiitt-ing labor, a now motive
power which eorts a presuro of
20,000 'pounds to the square inch
without the aid of heat 'Or chemioal
agents. The following deuoription
of the proeess of generating this won
-derful power we olip from an or
tohange.
"The apparatus that generaten the
power is called a "multinlicator,"
and is comnposed of a number of iron
chambers of cylindrical f6rm, 'con.
neeted by pipes and fitted with cer
tain cocks and valves. The machine
uipon which experiments have been
conducted during the Vist eight
months Is about thirty-sIx -inches
high, t wenty-four long, and thirteen
wide, and ati cylinders will hold
about six gallons of water. A
small 'brass pipe, with an orifieo one. I
quarter.of an inch in diameter, leads
from it to a strong wrought-iron
reservoir six inches in diameter and
three feet long, whore the power Is
stored, and whence it is fed to a beamt
engine through a still smaller pipe. I
The process of generating the power
consists.'n forcing air into the cham-.
her of the multiplicator, and after
'wardl letting water run in from a
'hydrant until the receptacles are:
-nerly filled. In the experiments <
recently made, the inventor has used :
~las own lungs for an air pump, blow
ing through a tube for a ow secnds,
then turning a cock to shut off the
air, connecting the tube with the I
hydrant and opening the cook until
suflicient water runs in. Within
two minutes after this operation is
performed, the cocks on the tubes
connecting the upper with the lower
cylindors are turmod, and the power
is ready for use. Th'lis little ma
chine exerts through the small tub,,
one-eighth of an inch in diameter, a
prosuro varying from 2,000 to 1,000
piounds to 'the square inch, at the
will of the opera'to'r. The power is
accuratoy measured by a force reg.
lister. When applied to the engine
it runs as rapidly as it is prudent to
por wit, the supplv of power o'lways
being kept below is full capacity."
Peoplo at first were incredulous,
hut experiments have been recently
snade whlilch seetned to be perfectly
satisfactory, and leading business
snen in Now York and New )England
have takes shares in a joint Stock
company organised to carry the in.
ventionianto practical ue,
The Inventor claims that a tunm
blerful of water will run a twenty.
horse oins fr an hor . -hat
be power generated in a small gen
rator will ran a train of twentj
are from Philadelphia to Nei
ork.
When we remember that stean
onerally exerts a pressure of onl
bout eighty pounds to the
guareinoh, it will be seen hov
seful this discovery will be. Th(
tories of the inventor seem fabulous
iut we must remember that steai
tself and the telegraph were do
ouncoed as frauds not many year
go.
Mr. Keely is waiting to have hi
isoovery patented in every countr3
efore he exhibits it publicly to th<
rorld. If it be a genuine inventiot
new era in science will be inauju
ated, and men may at last be abl(
D sail through the air as easily at
hey now navigate the ocean.
The Free Schools.
On Saturday, the 26th instant, th
otors of the respective school die
riots in Fairfield will meet to decid
he question of levying a local to:
or schools. We trust that the moot
ngs will be fully attended, and tha
n each district a tax will be levied
t is scarcely necessary to urge upo
ur readers the necessity of havinj
he children of the County vell edu
ated. Ignorance is the- foster moth
ir of crime, while education make
he baser crimes impossible. It L
rgued that not all criminals ar(
goorant. but that many of the moa
totorious evil doors are men of cul
ure and refinement. Whilo thi
s true, it must be admitted tha
very knave must have his fool, an'
hat the educated criminal rejoice
n the possession of ignorant, stupid
or besotted neighbors upon whom hu
an practice his nefarious schemet

,heir rascality. The surest recoli
'or good government is to have a
inlightened and moral oonstituonoy
no that will detect tho misdeeds o
>ficials, and will also punish then
Education so directly affects th
government that it has long since boe
made a'publio charge. The ancie
3partons, regarding the State as th
parent of A chiiren in its bordert
:ook them in hand and educate
them, and their example has boo
ollowed by almost all enlightene
isations. The States of the Unioi
iave taken a lively interest in oduce
ion, and have their common school
mtpported by publio funds. Thea
3ommon schools have been found a
iell adapted to the attainment <
the ends in view that they ar
gradually superseding private it
ititutiens of learning. Eveni
South Carbilina, where the systet
las been so imperfect, its advantage
ire beginning to be realized. An
wve predict that in five years mor
four government continues to in
prove, free education will be consid
ared one of m,he 'most valuable insti
,utions in the Sta'te.
All thht Is needed to perfect th
school system is a liberal supply c
oey. When the pay of teachersi
bettor assured than at presenti, a higi
r order of instructors will engage

erformi their duty faithfully. No,
ivery energy is eramped, becausi

Certain parties object to a tax fo
lohools because they themselves hay
to children to educate. T'his is
>oor reason. In Ihe first place the,

roud little town.. which .7hMs often

'any vice* w\tor are too numerous to

PhWIe atmo9phere with something

that many children of both sexes and 0

Murder Will Out.
We ai all familar with the old
3 saying "Murder will out," and cir.
ouinstances oocur every day to give
, proof of the truth of the adge.
Reoent events have ooourred which
bid fair to add two more stin.
t ing examples to the 1 o a g
category already adduced. The
libel trial of the News and Courier,
; in which Bowen was almost proven
guilty of a brutal murder during the
late war, is still fresh in the minds
of the people. And now comes an .
g other sensation in the shapo of the
affidtvit of a negro that the murder
t of Dr. Shell of Laurens in 1868, was
instigated by Joseph Crews, a man
* equally as influoutial perhaps, and I
t equally notorious as Bowen.
I The facts are these : I
In 1868 a democratio meeting was I
held at Laurensville. In going home I
three young men were fired upon, and
no amoug them, Dr. Shell, was killed: 9
f A negro was convicted of the mur- I
D dor, and sentenced to be hanged I
D but his sentence was commuted to I
I impris -nmont. I
0 A few days ago, two colored men,
t Park and Sullivan made aflidavit
[ before Mr. MoBoe of Greenville that
, they did the shooting at the instiga
f tion of Joe Crows and his son Adam.
i. We reproduce those affidavits.

Mr. Editor :
I was very much frightened a few
days ago by one of "my Policemen," 0
who appeared before me, and after t
doffing his cap and giving . the usual I
military salute, informed me that he b
nad orders from the President to
stop all carts, wheel-barrows, &o. n
from running on the Pavement. I of a
course, felt greatly relieved and could '
not help but exolaim "tu-bey-sho."
This is, I think, one of the best laws I
ever enacted, and is desfined to result r
in good to the eutire conannnity. In
the cities of New York, Philadelphia,
Ald Baltimore, there are no carts or
barrows to obstruct the sidewalks, and p
people who have been there, tell me
that that's the law in Charleston. In t
fact, you may go a
From Boianay Bay to Boston, e
Ftom Dan to Bershabe,
From the Lakes tnto the mount ains,
And back agaIn to sea,
and you will not find on the map nny ~
city with a reputation or name where
such nuisances are tolerat el-save and
oxcpt one--and that place is floko. y
Zack Weidner' once told the people se
of Fairfield that if elected to Oongre, t(
he-would pes a law to have all the
tall trees topped, so that shot guns atS
could have as good a chance as the
rifles, and this law is on the same sl
principle, for wheel-barrowt are now P
dqual to wagons. I also think It a SI
plondid lhw for the wheel-barrow., a
For some of the pavements are in such 'I
a condition that it would be danger. in
eus to risk a wheel.barrow on them. tl
Opo very important point has, I fear, g
bo'en overlooked, that is fines for such ai
as squeal or squeak for want of grease. y
This squeaking species is a double gi
nuisance and should be looked after. T'
Taken altogether it is a splendid h
law. In fact, we have a fine large y
code of laws, now, and all of them *,
should be rigIdly enforced, especially it
the fire-cracker, wheel-barrow and
gambling law. The latter, I thin k
well calculated to produLce the same m
resutts that Gen'I. Grant do- w
.ired from his letter to the Pennsyl- c
vanla republicans. There are a gfeat tc
many people that commence with big *a
things to get at little ones-like the R
man who tore down his house to kill d<
his rats--but this law takes the dif- c
ferent coarse and commences with w
rats. This is exactly right-look g
aftet small things and big ones will al
look after themselves. Rout the p,
gamblers, prohibit the sile of crack.. m
era h'nd step the wheel-barrows, and yj
an adniMrug end appreciative publin th
will utter th'e 'exclamation of "Puty
good," al'lullg," 'or "Tube alho" I t
