Thc Nihilists are giving to Russia con siderable trouble, and unless Russia changes thc inhuman treatment of these misguided fanatics she will array the civilised world against her and create a sympathy for those she would crush. Thc organization of the Nihilists seems to be secret and powerful, a-id tho right of Russia to adopt adequatf measures to suppress it must bc conceded, yet, in the execution of those measures, humanity demands that ?bc should not inbuninmy torture these miserablo people. MORMONISM. The Mormon question has now become ono of international importance. In a Cabinet meeting held on the 8th iusl., the Secretary of State presented for con sideration a letter protesting against the conduct of European governments in al lowing their subjects to leave for tho United States as Mormon emigrants, which letter was approved by the Cabi net, and copies were ?out to tho diplo matic repr?sentative? of tho United States at the Courts of Great Britain, Germany, Norway, Swedeu and Den mark. It is understood that thc letter sela forth that bigamy is a crime in tho Territories of tho United States, punish able by fine and imprisonment, and that tLe penalties of tho law will be enforced. It is to be hoped that the action taken by tho government will in tho futuro pre vent emigrants of this kind from coming to this country, aud tho enforcement of the Act of Congress in tho Territories will settle forever this festering social question. Should emigrants still persist in coming to this country, it is tho in tention of tho government to refuse them entrance into our our ports and to forbid vessels landing them. THE COTTON CROP. Reports from the Boards of Exchange of tho States of Virginia, North Caro lina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas and Arkansas, aro favorable to the pro ductiveness of tho crop of the present year, equaling, if not exceeding, that of thc last. Thc crop everywhere is repre sented as forming, blooming and bolling well ; and although the plant is generally reported as smaller than lost year, owing to tho July drought, yet tho crop com pares favorably with that of last year, in many instances is bettor. The drought during the month of Juno and July en abled tho farmers to keep their entire crops in good cultivation ; hence there has been very little, if auy, abandon ment, and no damage of consequence to them by tho boll-worm or caterpillar. In some localities of tho South the crop is earlier than usual, owing to tho dry hot weather, while in other sections it is ' from eight to twelvo days later. The apprehended danger of shedding from heavy rains hos uot been realized, and tho prospect for an ubo.ndaut harvest is at present most promising. There is, therefore, no i?nson to believo that cot ton will command a high price this Fall from a diminished production of tho staple. _ SOUTH CAROLINA NETTS.

AN INCENDIARY Fine IN LAURENS COUNTY.-Tho Columbia Register of tho 12th inst, bas the following communica tions: It is reported in thia village that the stables and barn of Mr. James Buns, of Laurens County, were consumed day before yesterday by fire. Four mules, ono horse and several calves were de stroyed. Mr. Epps livr ' ncilr Maddox's bridge. Tho statement' ibout tho burn ing aro vory conflicting, but it was evi dently tho work of an incendiary. Sus picion rests upon a young negro boy named Sam Mattison, who formerly lived here and who is regarded as a mean fel low. Tho latest nows is that ho has con fessed, implicating another negro, and that ho has gone to jail. There was strong talk of lynching him, but I hope that tuero is nothing of this. Surely our good people aro more law-abiding than this. Wo have courts of justice, nnd be fore theso every man should havo a fair and impartial trial. * GAINS. DONALDS vi LEE, Aug. ?, 1879. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. IIONEA PATH, S. C.J Aug. 9,1879. EDITOR KEOTSTER : Mr. James Epps, who lives about ten miles east of this place, in Laurens County, lost his barn on the night of tho Gth instant, by an in cendiary fire. Four mules, ono horse, five calves and ono hundred chickens were burned. A colored boy named Sam Mattison has been arrested, and has con fessed that he did thc burning. He tied the mules together to keep them from being saved. He also confesses to havo burned 200 bales of cotton last winter, which is supposed to havo been the lot burnt nt Nowberry on the Greenville and Columbia Railroad. It ia rumored that bo also admitted that he had burned some house in Abbeville County. FILIUS DELORIS. A MIRACLE IN GEORGIA.-William Langley, a cotton planter, of Gwinnett County, was stabing inf a field on his farm. Around him were several men, a womau and three children, all breaking the soil for cotton. Tho sky was clear and the air quiet, there being about both a hint of sultriness. The children had just stopped work and thrown themselves, tired as tired could be, on the top of a pile of gunno sacks, when a peculiar roaring was heard in the field. The o?uu? core some resemblance to that of an approaching train, but as no railroads wore near, the workers looked at ono an other in amazement. In a moment they saw a small column not larger in circum ference than a barrel skim rapidly along the ground. The wind column or spout appeared to bo filled with dust, and in the centre contained what looked like & ball of fire. The mother rushed towards the children, who crouched low in fright, but before she could reach thom tho pile of guano bags, children and all, were scattered right and left. In its course, al ways eccentric, the column struck a stump fairly from butt to roots and tore it from tho ground, tho wood splitting into threo pieces, ano. dropping twenty or" thirty yards away. Mr. Langley was sucked in as the whirling thing bolted by aud thrown into a ploughed gully some dis tance away. Tn the next instant the strange visitor bad gone, passing up over the tops of the trees. It was seen plainly by the ladies at the Langley Houco, ap pearing to them Uko the smoke that run es IM) in circular volumes from tho smoke j stack of a locomotive.-Augusta Evening THE SOUTH CAROLINA RADICALS j Tho National ItailhaU, Foretasting n li. - feat ill South Cltrullliu, I'reparill?

C., August 2. Tlio condition of tin; Republican party j in South ('H roi i ii a ia deplorable. Tue j leaders, willi few exceptions, are utterly dejected. .Many who, in the palmy days of the Scott and Moses administrations, were reveling in luxury, are actually in want of the common necessaries of life | their worst enemy could not devise a worse fate limn ha? befallen them. The only members of the Central Executive Comuiitte?; who still cling to tho planks of tho old ship are lt. H. Elliott, C. C. Howcn, E. \V. M. Mackey, Thoma? John son, Dr. Ensor, Cochran ami Wilson Cook ; but even these few are divided by dir<cords and jealousies which lessen their influence ami usefulness. The masses, especially tho colored portions, seem less despondent. They complain of tho de sertion of their leaders at a limo when they were most needed, but they are hopeful that wrong can never be more than temporary. DuriiiK a recent tour through portions of the State, a Times co-respondent sought thc opinion of a number ui the most prominent ami trust worthy Republican politicians regarding the tulkcd-of reorganization of the party. They seemed anxious that their "tab's of woo" should rcachHlie public, but, fearing annoyance and possibly prosecution, they begged in almost every instance that their names, unless specially demanded, should bo withheld. One of the most Intelligent colored men in the State, who Was one of the Hayes electors, and is at present a member of thc Hiato Executive Committee, and whoso veracity is not doubted, even by Democrats, in thc place where he resides, said: "We"-meaning thc Executive Committee-"have had no formal meet ings since last summer, when we refused to endorse the Hampton administration, but some of us have met an odd times and exchanged opinions regarding tho duty of Republicans in tho future. Wo have os yet no fixed plans when or how reorganization can be accomplished, but I am confident something will be dono shortly. The colored people are, how ever, not so entirely unprepared for an election as you may think. They have well-disciplined organisations in every county, which meet periodically and dis cuss the situation. They are also collect ing funds for a last resort-emigration. If they are not permitted to enjoy the right.-* of citizenship peaceably in Knuth Carolina, they will seek homes elsewhere; and the scenes recently witnessed in Mis sissippi and Louisiana will be reproduced in this State on a much larger nenio mid under more favorably auspices." Re garding tho conservative Utterances of tho Charleston News and Courier, ho said: "Sweet words cost nothing. I was brought up among these people, and know them better than most men. 1 havo been one of thc leaders of ni" party since 181)8, and I havo not forgof.cn tho lessons tuught mc two and four years ago. So long as wo keep in the background we will not bc molested, but if Wc make efibrts to regain what wo have lost, mid I Ibero appears thc slightest prospect of ! success, tlio 'red shirts' will hunt us down and shoot us ns heretofore, and such journals as tho Newt and Courier will si lently acquiesco in tho bloody work, while others moro outspoken will laud it. See what thc Kingstr'1 .>V<ir says about Swails," [alluding tc ho following cx tract from that paper._ "It is currently reported that Swails contemplates returning to Williamsburg County. Ifthisboa fact, it is incum bent upon the Executive Committee of tho Democratic party to find out what ia his purposo in returning. If it is to take up his permanent residence among us, it ia their duty, as good citizens, to warn Swails that he will do so at his own per sonal peril. The white people, if true to what has been pledged iu their behalf, will not nerr-it Swails to return hero to live. If he proposes to como here to arrange his private affairs, so tts to leave permanently, the Executive Committee should havo him so state, in writing, giv ing tho exact timo within which ho will leave for good and beyond which bo will not be allowed to stay. If ho declines to state his purpose, the public should bc made aware uf the fnct, aud he will lu.ve been made aw?i o of tho fact that his res idence here wil bo at personal risk, mid his permanent!/ remaining herc will not be permitted y tho whites of the county. If, aller th:.; 'io makes bia appearance, ho can take the consequences ol his past. From what wo hear, ho will likely have a lively time, and be glad enough to re tiro to moro quiet and profitable sceues We do not BCO what inducer, him to re turn, if, iudeed, ho intends doing so. Hit proper i) ia all in the hands of Shcrif Jacobs, by whoso intervention alone il has becu kept from being sold nt publi? outcry long ago." "I was ono of the Hayes electora," lu continued, "and as such I stund in con stunt drend of assassination before wi crossed the State linc. According to tin 'state laws, we were entitled to the sann per diem and mileage as the members o the Legislature, but wo never receive! a copnor. Wo employed lawyers ant appealed to tho Legislature, but, whili they did not deny tho legality of ou election, they rejected our claim, am merely becauso wo were Republicans AB Republicans wo have no rights ii thin State. Wo can neither talk no vote as wo please. Our ouly hope rest in our Northern friends, and if tho desert us, God knows how it will cir -I am afraid to thinh." Another of tho old colored leaden who bears a good reputation for hone ty and voracity, said : "Our only *?. vation lies in tho election of cithc Grant, Shermnn or Blaine. Grant is ou man, and he is the most feared by th Democrats. I heard some of tho lath , a few days ago. that if Grant wei nominated ho would bo elected, but the would.kill bim before bo could reach tb Presidential chair. They also said thi they would sooner kill every nigger froi tho mountain ; to the seaboard than pe mit the State to fall into the hands < the Republicans again. These asaertioi might havo been made in jest, but thc evidently had the desircu effect. Ti aged ex-leader of his race seemed to 1 most thoroughly frightened, ?nd he tim ly belioves that a total an?thi .tion i bia people will follow any attempt wrest the State from tho Democrats. A prominent member of the bar, at lato aspirant for one of tho princip Federal offices in tho State, express* views which may not bo approved 1 ?nany Republicans, but aa ho ia coiisi crcd ono of the best informed up-cou try politicians, they aro worthy of p rusai. Ho belioves that tho Republic! party can nover again achieve suecos or ovon a partial success, under their o leaders, and that they must look to lib ral Democrats to re-organizo their tht tered ranks in tho next contest. He b Heves that available men, equal to tl task, can be obtained after the ne Democratic convention, which he thin will be controlled by tho worst olomoc in tho party, and which he belioves w nominate candidates unacceptable to t liberal Democracy. He oxprcssed hil self utterly disgusted with too men wi still claim the authority to coutrol t actions of Republicans in tho State, ai asserted that they do not represent eith tho intelligence or tho honesty of t party. "ThiAk," said hu "of a sot of di cgutes to represent na in tho next natio al convention who are chosen throu, tho instrumentality of such men as R. Elliott ! Cuuld't they be bought by au body? We must wait," he continue "until opportunities favor us. Nothi can bu gained by ill-considered haste,a much may be lott. Republican triumphs ? in New Vork and Ohio this fal! will in- ; fuse new life into the Republicans in the j Southern State*, and kind words from ? our Northern und Western friends will ; restore confidence." A nolber member of the legit fraternity who at one time exercised much Influence among upcountry Republicans, Skid: "If I thought we had the slightest prospect ol success, I would pull oil my coat and start in, but I can't s'e what good I could j accomplish in my own belia! 1 or for any-1 body else. The Democrats have every- : thing their way ; they arc in possession i of all the election machinery, and bow ! can We ?top the ballot brigandage, or bow cun we prevent th*: horde? ol' 'red- | shirt*' from voting at every polling pre cinct In tho county on election day when their manager* allow it? It is only1 surprising to nie that they do not go one step funnel and abolish elections alto gether, i labored for thc Republican party until I wits almost ruined finan cially. My practice, which is gradually coming back to me since I minded my own business only, was taken from me, and old college friends would pass me by without recognition. Everybody knew we carried tho election in 1870, and yet our Northern friends deserted us ttnd consigned us to tho teador mercies of our enemies. No, thank you I 1 have enough for the present.". Tho United States District Attorney wr". busily engaged at bis ollice prepar ing case? for tho United States District Court, to bo held nt Greenville on tim last Monday in August. He expressed his views without the least reserve. "I believe thal the Federal administration will enforce ail honest vote in 1880, and I nm confident if the vote is honestly counted, that tho Republican Electors will bo declared elected. Should chi canery prevail, however, I am equally condo, ut that the Republican nominees for President and Vice President will bo elected without cur assistance. I believe that Ohio and Mai nc will go Republican this fall, tho former by at least 10,000 majority, which will give us new strength. I believe wo will have a working majori ty in the next House of Representatives, and I further believe that wc will have a majority of one in the United States Sen ate in 1884. Much depends, hoivever, on thc net t census, and the government ought to ttjipoint none but the most trustworthy Republicans as census takers." From close observation, and from con versations with thc most intelligent pol iticians in the Charleston, Beaufort and Williamsburg district"., with reasonable chances, ought to elect Republican Con gressmen at the next general election. In the Fourth and Fifth districts Republi cans are powerless, but with proper or ganization and the necessary protection, they could be induced to poll a full vote for electors. Recent appointments to subordinate positions in Federal offices have aroused considerable dissatisfaction. It is claimed that friends of local politi cians were imported from adjoining States to lill offices which could havo been moro creditably tilled by deserving Republi cans of this State. Tho Charleston Cus tom Houso appointments especially aro severely criticised, and from several cases cited there seem to bo smno grounds for thc complaints, Yellow Fever Reports. CHICAGO, August o. In answer to a telegraphic request of thc Daily ?Ycws of this city, A. D. Long staff, President of the Howard Associa tion at Memphis, has sent a telegram giving the particulars of the condition of the city cootaning the following points: The total nuniber of cases of yellow fever to thia hour within the city limits officially recordei ia 330 ; of this number [R> have died. In addition there havo been nbout 20 cases and 5 deaths of Memphis refugees located within six miles of thc city. Thc disease bas not communicated to any of the surrounding towna on account of tho rigid quaran tine. Thc fever bas increased in Mem phis very perceptibly in the past ten days and is spreading from its original centre. Wc cannot hope for a discontinuance until frost. At least 80,000 persona have left, of whom 12,000 are located in camps Father iMnthcw and Marka, situa ted lour and seven miles respectively from Memphis. There have been three :ases in Camp Marka and one death. At least twelvo thousand negroes are in .ho city, only 1,000 having gono to the ?mps. They have declined to leave the ;ity, hopiug to receive rations hero, which ia in opposition to tho views of all parties wdio are laboring hero to attend ;o such aa muy bc taken sick. Our only mfety i? depopulation. In consequence if tho fever spreading among thc negroes ,n the past five days there is a growing Imposition to go to the camps. "Should :beir appeal to thc people of the United States for rations not meet with a favor ible answer, the ncgroea will no doubt move aa soon ns they get hungry. No ano but a Howard visitor or a physician knows of the filthy hovels that these peo plo livo iu and m which they are taken nek and too frequently die. Wo have lix physicians un duty and have had un der our charge. 450 patients Bick with various diseases. To theso sick people ive furnish nurses, medicines, stimulants ind food. About 200 havo been dis charged. Our expenses aro now $500 per day, and will probably increase. We bavo on hand $18,000; thia amount would havo been sufficient if the negroes had followed tho exampio of thc whi people and loft tho eily.
