E. B. M UK H AV, Editor. THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 24, 1870. Hbo', Henry liartzog, ono of the most practical nod inlluential of tb ) represen tatives from Barnwell Cour ty, died at ii is residence, two miles from Hamberg, on 1 isi Saturday morning, after an Hines* of tww days. Mr. Hartzog wns a most excellent gentleman, and bis death will bc regretted wherever he was known. Since our last issue about fifty new cases of yellow fever have been rc|K?rted in Memphis, and tho disease is now ad mitted to havo become epidemic there. Tho citizens ave flocking from the place in vast numbers, and the prospect is very gloomy for its future. Death stares I hose who remain in the fare, while ut ter financial ruin is .?head for n Ir-rgo portion of those who flee. There is from present appearance nothing but gloom and depopulation uhcad of th's once fair aud prosperous metropolis. Tho Gainesville Eagle very pertinently propounds the question: "Can a mnn with money nnd friends be hung in Georgia ?" Our contemporary answers this in tho negative, and we fear the samo answer would be correct if tho ter ritory was extended to embraco this whole country. It is becoming frightful to sec how crime can bc committed with immunity hy those who aro willing to spend a little money in securing an ac quittal. Scarcely ft day passes that we do not meet with instances of fearful murders in different parts of tho United States, and yet hangings aro^very rare occurrences. It is time for tho officers of the btw, from Judges down, to do their duty. Juries should convict where guilt is proven, and then a certain bang ing should follow tho verdict. Judgo David C. Humphreys, if thc Supremo C?tii t of the District of Co lumbia, died at his residence in Fairfax County, Virginia, on Saturday, the 12th inst. Ho was tho Judgo who ruled in tho Patterson caso that a United States Senator wns free from arrest during tho session of Congress upon charges of bribery and corruption. This decision was purely partisan, and tho memory of tho departed Judge will pa? lo oblivion beneath thc cloud of contempt which ho raised for himself Lhroughout tho whole country. It- is not thought that Mr. Hayes, with all of his acquaintance with the corrupt politicians of the day, will be ablo to nominate n worse man os his successor, and if ho docs Congress will most certainly not confirm him. A dispatch to tho Neuis and Courier, of tho 17th instant, says that important changes aro to bc made in tho Greenville and Columbia Railroad very soon, nnd, upon inquiry, we l4ear that tho chango will consist in the appointment of a now Superintendent to tako the placo of Col. Dodamcad, who has resigned and leaves tho road tho first of August. We hope this report is incorrect, for Col. Dodamcad has proven, in every respect, eminently qualified for tho post he has held for tho past five or six yeors, and we would dis like to seo him retire. Wo may, how ever, rest assured that a good man will be substituted in his placo if he should retiro, for General Connor will havo the selection of the new Superintendent. Whether any other changes aro to be mudo, report dot not answer. A telegram from Albany, New York, on last Saturday, says : " An explosion took placo on tho steamer Drew last night while on tho way from Now York to this city. Several cans of powder had been placed in tho state-room, and a fuse attached to each. Tho state-room was shattered, and the wood work in tho vicinity of the explosion was badly dam aged, but fortunately no person was in jured. Tho lighti? wero all extinguished nnd thero was the wildest excitement for a few moments. A man who gavo his name as Henry Evans was arrested on board this morning on suspicion of being tho person who caused tho explosion." It really docs look like all of tho law lessness of tho country does not resido South of Mason and Dixon's line. The Times or Tribune either might preach a sermon over this attempt to destroy sev eral hundred persons, simply for the fun of an explosion, which would be as In- j icrcstjng and powerful as any of their j discourse? on tho "bloody shirt" horrors of tho South. Tho only trouble, wo presumo, is that tho crimes committed in their midst are frequently so heinous that it -..ould bo impossible to do tho subject justice, and therefore they do not under take the hopeless task, but ply thoir lec tures to the South over cases which they feel equal to the task of properly com menting upon. The Washington Post shows how much it knows of ?lie agricultural problem in the following paragraph, which it offers in tho way of a consolatory prophecy : It should reconcile the average reader to tho intense heat which we aro now enduring to rencct that, wimont it there could bo no torn. A bot Summer means nu abundant torn crop, and plenty of that cereal will give tbe cocotry cheap whisky. This should be satisfying to tho natural man. Our contemporary should romcuber that heat is only one of tho essen tials for a good crop year, and that a sufficient quantity of moisture is equally necessary. Therefore, as there have bees very long *ud widespread drnnght* throughout the core-growing section, it is likely to result in a short crop, and tho fact that heat is one of the elements of production, does not mako us rejoice at its presence when the other necessary clcmeuts aro absept. Our contemporary bad as well go to a hungry man who has plenty of fire but no dough, and con . grat?late hint upon the fine bread ho will have. Heat is ono of the necessary cl? monts in making good bread, but it does not amount to mnch without the dough to bake ; so it is that heat will not make much corn without it is accompanied by a good amount of moisture. - A telegram was received last night from lion. J. C. Robertson, brother of cx-B<?iiator Ilpc-crtsoh, of South Carolina, " hicsgo, Hinting that son of tho ex wjnator. named Ti S.jtobcrtson, was shot.

"^-""-^-"i-iriiwiiiaunuMi.HIHUIH Tho Southern vote in the National Ito* publican Nominating Convention is still a source of discord among the ?talw?rts. Thia vot- ia thc balance of power in tlie party, and, if admitted into thc Conven tion, will control tlie nomination. There is a proportion to refuse admission to the Southern delegations, and this pro gramme ls favored by tunny prominent men in the party, hut is opposed hy the leaders who expect to utilize this vote to assist in their nomination. Daine ob tained thc bulk of the (Southern vote in 1870, and calculates that he will be able to ho!d it in 1880. John Sherman thinks that he will be able to carry thc South ern vote in the Convention of 1880, by giving his Treasury appointments to the most disreputable elementa of tho South ern Republican parly. Tho friends nf Grant nre of the opinion that he will be able lo carry the Southern delegations, because the negroes look upon him as the embodiment of thc party which Ret them free. Thus the elemente of the national Republican party areuot altogether har monious, Thc ped ty in favor of admit ting Hie Southern delegations, in our opinion, will prove strongest, and after the nomination is made the members of the pnrty in the North and West will be very much disgusted to ceo that the nom ination has boon dictated by the repr? sentatives of the Ignorant and corrupt portion of tho pnrty. and that loo the portion which will hot give a single vote in the idoctoral collego. The Radicals have been making a great deal of noise against thc solid South, and well may they give expression to their alarm. Thc solid South presents thc handwriting upon tho wnll lo Republicanism. It announces thc death of thc party of bato and usurp ation. Henceforth the Democracy will . bc gainers hy thc solid South. It will gain votes on the positive side of the problem, and on thc negativo ?ide will injure thc Republicans by producing dis affection Within their ranks. A special dispatch to tho New York Sun from Washington, under dato ol July 18, makes thc following statement which interests the people of South Car olina, for we have- ho doubt that there is sumo foundation for tho Information given: Thero is to be a sweeping change ii thc Federal officers in >S<>uth Carolina This change will soon be announced Certain South Carol mn Republicans hav< been in this city within thu last few days representing that South Carolina coule bc carried for tho Republicans in 1880 ii caso the right kind ot Federal oflicehold era aro placed in authority. Those nov in place aro men who nre timid and luke wnrtn in their Republicanism, mid havi not tho requisite backbone to stand u| against tho tissue-ballot frauds and in timidntiug processes of tho chivalry What is needed, these Republicana say is a class ot men bravo enough to enforci tho national election in the lace of death intimidation and personal insult. It i claimed that tho present Federal office holders in that State aro either overawct by tho Democrats who are now in power or else have formed affiliations with then thnt destroy their party usefulness. There ls no doubt that tho Republicai leaders havo been seriously contempl?t ing a movement for tho resuscitation o tho party in this State, but tho abovo nu nounccinenl ?B no doubt premature, fo if attempted now it will fail. Tho nev officers appointed to enrry out the prc gramme would be rejected by tho Demo eratic Senate, which would restoro th present incumbents. Thc ndministrntioi will most probably not begin this chang until after tho adjournment of the nex session.of Congress, when il could calli; and effectively be carried out, so far a the changes would go. This contingenc will iu ul! probability bo avoided by long session of Congress. This is on fir?'; consolation. Tho next is that, if i should tako place, we would t'.il! be nhl completely to demolish tho remnant c Republicanism in South Carolina. Chastine Cox, thc colored man wh killed Mrs. Hull in New York recently boa already been tried, convicted of mm dor, and sentenced tobo hung on the 29t day of August uext. He is a negro, nu therefore tho New Yorkers do not hes tate to have a hanging in hi case. Il richly deserves it, but then t io point w want to make is, that tho No'''' .n pct plo do not mind enforcing tho law who it is only necessary to hang n negro i order to do so, but in tho cases of whil murderers they Beera to be more Bcrtipi lom?, or at least hangings have abot "played out" there in the cases of ric murderers. We would not point out th peculiarities of thia caso oxcept for th fact that thc New York Radical pape placo no limit to tho lies mid abuse thc heap upon tho South, in consequence i which wo occasionally like to ?ive ot contemporaries of that city a li '?nes-*, < tim way thoy appear to outsiders lil tl administration of justice. If they wi attend to their own section and let ou alone, they will havo a very good ham full of work. In sentencing the pri onor Judgo Cowing, amid tho most pr found silence, said : Chastine Cox, I would fain belier that your heart goes not with thc Inuii depicted upon your countenance dum tho progress of this trial ; that your coi duct has in no way indicated your rig! feeling. Tho jury baa been of your ow aolection, and they have carefully co ordered yo'?r ??.???, result of which that they find you guilty of a horrib offence which will inflict upon you most ignominious death.

The jury was out sixty-seven minot which was thought to be a long tin In explanation of this ono of tho ju said to a reporter of the Herald that t: of thc jurymen were at the firat dispos to bring in a verdict of murder in i second degree, but after a general oe vernation which tho jury had aa to t effect of-the evidence, they voluntar joined their colleagues in returning verdict of murder ia tho first degree SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS.

Thc next session w ill open at thc usual time, the 15th of September. The facul ty will consist of three professors and two tutors. The Itev. Dr. J, C. Furman Was elected to the chair of English, including metaphysics and belle lettres; l'rof. C. H. Judson to thc chair of Mathematics and general physics, and Prof. D. Town send Smith to the ci.air of Ancient Lan guages. Tho tutors ere to bc nominated by the faculty and appointed by thc ex ecutive board of the trustees. There will not be a preparatory department, btu in connection with each school of the Uni versity a course of study will be provided adapte J to the wants of those students who may not be sufficiently advanced to luke up strictly collegiate studies. Thus thc ?tudies of the school of mathematica may begin willi hitrhor arithmetic and elementary algebra ; the schcol of Eng lish with English grammar, history, etc.; the school ol' languagues with thc Latin or Greek grammar. Lach professor will have exclusive control of his own school, and conduct its studies with tho assist ance of one or both of the tutors. The completion of th?' course in any school will bo rewarded with a diploma and the degree of graduate in that school. Free tuition will still be offered to nil who come, not in tho manner or sense of a charity, but simply as u return for the endowment given to the University by the friends of higher education in thc Stato. This endowment has been niven, although so little of it has yet been actu ally delivered. It was thought by thc trustees hot long ago that it would bc nceesary to ask of tfie obligators tho Jc linguishment of the obligation on me part of the University to furnish free tui tion, because the collection of interest and principal on the bomb; was too slow to meet current expensen. Hut it wita finally decided to go on without a change in this respect, in the hope that all who have given bonds and who are yet in ar rears will now more than ever feel tho importance nf paying up ni rapidly as possible. Surely no man who can by any honor able means obtain the money to pay even a small part of bis indebtedness to thc University wi'l neglect longer to do so, when be sees the determination of tho trustees of the noble faculty to fulfil at whatever ?aerifico the contract by which free iuitiou was pledged. This contract on the part of each obligator was certain lv not less binding than on the part of thc University trustees. What then? Will any obligator say that the trustees were deceived when they accepted hi* bond as good and reliable? Or will he not rather prove that they did well to trust him, by immediate payment of somo portion of his debt ? Thc number of students next session will doubless be increased hythe new or ganization of schools in tho University, and especially by the opportunity now afforded for those lo enter who aro not prepared to begin tho regular collegiate course. Also, it is expected that an ar rangement will bo made to furnish any number of students with excellent board at a cost not exceeding ten dollars a month.

Attempted Murder in Greenville. A most brutal attempt waa mado on night before last by Homo unknown vil lain to take the life of our esteemed young townsman, John M. Timmotis, step-son of Dr. J. W. Norwood. The report of the cowardly outrage which circulated yesterday with tho wind, caused much excitement, and eager inquiry was mado on every hand for the particulars of tho adair, and after the welfare of the woun ded man. Seeking the most reliable source of in formation to gather the fccls of tho caso, wo sought Dr. Norwood, and from him we gathered the following particulars : Mr. Thunums is a member of the Greenville Guards, and was in line with tho Compa ny to meet and receive tho Sumter Guards from Charleston on day before ytstorday afternoon. After the reception, and after the Companies had dispersed, Mr. Tim* nions went homo about ll o'clock, to pre pare for a trip to the mountains yesterday, spending sonic limo in packing his bud get, and making necessary preparations tor the trip. About 1 o'clock nc retired to bed in his room on tho secoud floor. Ho had been in bcd but a few minutes when ho beard the tin roof crack on tho up stairs portico when he took the pains to see what it meant, and seeing nothing be retired, leaving the lamp burning. The tracking on the tin roof was again indis tinctly heard, but this time Mr. Tim* mons paid no nttcntion to lt, and was soon fast asleep. From this timo Mr. Timmons has no clear recollection of what happened. At nj?or 2 o'clock Di. and Mrs. Norwood were aroused by Mr. Tim mons' appearance down stairs call ing "Father, Father, como here." Dr. Norwood sprang from bis bed to find young Thunums laboring under consider able mental excitement, ulmost insensi ble, with a great gash in tho right side of bis neck and his right arin paralyz ed. During the excitement that en sued the would-be murderer mado his escape down the back steps and through nu open window. Mr. Timmons was taken into his mother's bed room and medical aid sum moned. Tho servants were hastened up stairs to Mr. Timmons' room when Maxcy Timmons, a younger brother and Barrett Rowland" uko slept. Or Mr. Timmons' bed was found an axe with which tho almost fatal blow wal struck. Mr. Timmons, who was moreoi less rational yesterday, has vague recol lections of a 8trugglo with some one lr tho room, bot nothing is clear to hil mind. Tho most plaUnahle theory is that the assassin was secreted, probably outside of the baluster ' of tho portico and awaited hin opportunity to destro* tho lifo of his victim at one fell blow, ir which he failed, and failing in the firs at t nm pt, commotion ensued, and in h ii precarious situation, made a hasty es cape. Mr. Tiuimons had monoy HDOU his person, which.was afterwards fount concealed inside the bosom of his shirt The object of the thief was doubtle? robbery, and to make sure of his game thought with one stroke to accomplis! his purpoao noiselessly. Near the win low where tho villain is supposed to have iiailo lil?! escapC fresh tracks ?vere seen, nit AA yet no clue lo the perpetrator of lu* foul deed lias been found. Mr. Timnions1 condition last night ivas improved, and his wound is not consider d dnngcrou.*.-Greenville News July \tith.
