E. B. M URRA Y? Editor. THURSDAY MORNING, AUG. M, 1870. HOMICIDE ?EAR WALU J LLA. Alex. Brice, Jr., Shot and Killed by Un known Person*. Special Dispatch to the Andmon Intcltigsnccr. WALHALLA, 8.0., Aug. 27,1679. Alex. Bryce, Jr., who resides 9 miles from Wa? lalla, in tho northwest portion of the County, was assassinated one hour after dark on last Monday night. Bryce waa at the house of Jesse F. Cox, who lives near him. lu company with Cox, Bryce started homo, and on the way they were accosted by two horse men, one of whom asked who were pres ent. Cox replied that lt was he and Bryce, whereupon ono or the men imme diately fired at Bryce. Three shots were fired, ell of them taking effect on the body of Bryce. Two or them were fatal. Bryce fell and expired instantly. The perpetrators - of the deed are un known. Tho cause of the difficulty is supposed to be or a local nature, and no political significance whatever can be attached to the event. D. A. (SMITH. The report that if the people vote for the railroad tax there will be no end to tho taxation is a great mistake. Tho charter of the company only allows the taxation to Lat for three years. Even if tbero was any necessity for moro money, and the people were willing to vole more taxes to tlio road, they could not do so under tho charter. The taxation ends in threo years, und no township c*n bo called on to pay one cent more than it votes for ou next Wednesday. Conkling has persistently refused to converso or be interviewed about the Narragansett scandal, and tho affair has assumed something of the reverso shape to that which is usual. Instead of Conk ling vindicating Mrs, Sprnguc, she hos sought an Interview with a New York reporter and completely exone rates tho New York Senntor from any imputation of improper co..duct. Tho matter now utanda in sn eh eu?p? as to irrevocably condemn Conkling. At Wlnnemucca, in Nevada, one Sun day evening a few weeks ago a party of Chinese Gamblers chased a negro, with whom they had beon playing, through the strcetn. shooting at him in such a careless manner that some of the balls went Into a church while services were L ine; held, and greatly frightened the congregation This took place in a Re publican State, and would thcroforo not bo a suitable instanco for the stalwarts to hold up as an evldenco of Democrntio lawlessness. Thero would, however, he as mu?li cunno in parading this before tho country as nine-tenths of tho circumstan ces over which tho stalwarts seek to put tho country in a rage. Mr. Cyras W. Field, In an interview vith a New York paper, announces that Liiere has been a rupturo between himself and Ex-Governor Tilden, In consequence of which all of tho money in the world could not induce him to have any further business relations with tho ruler of Gramarcy Park. This ls seised on by tho opponents of Mr. Tilden as an addition al argument against his nomination for the Presidency. We like to eoe fair play, and therefore aro getting somewhat tired of tho bitter and, in some instances, friv olous fight which is being made on Mr. Tilden If his opponents cannot defeat him on the merits of their arguments against his nomination, they had KP tin r yo careful about introducing personal vituperation. The American people are noted for sympathizing with those who are persecuted, and if this line of fight is attempted against Mr. Tilden, it will in all probability secure his re-nomina tion for the Presidency. The Greenback party is assuming form* idable dimensions in Texas, and is being organised with a view of controlling tho next Legislature of that State fer the purpose of electing Gen. Hammond to the United States Senate aa Senator Maxy's successor in 1881. Gen. Ham mond was tho Greenback cnu?idate for Governor last year, and has been actively organizing Greenback clubs since his de feat, so that the party ls stronger now than it haa ever been. Gen. Reagan is the loading candidate of the Democratic party, and it is said that he expresses some alarm lest the now party, by sape Vior activity, shall secure tho State. It ia thought tho Republicans will coalesce with the new party for tho purpose of giving an indirect blow by a combination which they may eventually be able to control. Thia is only tho old form of in dependents upder a new name, and if the Democracy of Texas ia aa firm as we believe it is, thoro ia vory little doubt of ita overthrow. ? i?w/jat?i The Railroad tax asked for Sn this \ County in each of tba townships named : - is seven mills. That is seventy cents on tho hundred dollars worth of properly ot coven dollars on tho thousand. This ls only for three years. Tho charter does not authorize any longer taxation, and, if s t=x is voted in any township, is cannot . bo increased beyond tho amount specified in ?he advertisement ot tho County Corer missioners- which U nubliobcd in another cotamn, irv* tells exactly what each township Is to ?>ay. These assessments aro made according to tho property of the township, on a biais of a tax of seven milla a year for throe y?ars. When these sums have been paid in tb? p^ep?e can? not bo taxed any farther, and, from the most careful estimates mado, there is no probability that there will be soy neees ^ sit;' for further taxation. The amounts asked for are believed to be sufficient to secare the building ot tho Road, and if ' they should not prove so, the friends of the enterprise will have to complete it by pr?vete subscription, for there will be no further taxation. If, therefore, the tax asked for ts voted, tho Roadla ?nassured fact, Cur people should not 'hesitate to vote this tax, for tho bcoeflls to be de rived'ft om St are a thousand times as great as the outlay asked Tor to complete Camdon GaseiU: There arofoT?y^tbreo Br?^?e&le young Isdies in Camden who do not belong to tho O.

If we fail to cccuro the Savannah Val ley Railroad to Anderson it will ho built from Lowudesvillo to Belton, and our town will bo greatly injured by having such a large section of our present Undo hopelessly cut off from us. This, too, would injure the townr?hips along our tine, for hy damaging their natural trading point, tho inconvenience to mar ket and increased price lt will impose Will be fell throughout tho entire County. By building up Anderson Court House tho advantages offered to the farmer will bo greatly increased. The competition in freights will produce a very material difference in tho price of all articles. Thus, for instance-, tho prt#eht cost of a bale of cotton to Charleston is $2.75, while IT we had the Hoad to Augusta it would not be moro than $1.75, at the out side. This alone would bo a saving of at least $1.00 per bale on cotton, which would make this staple sell for a quarter of a cent higher on every pound. This saving alone would pay tho Ruilroad tax every year, and would continuo for all time to come, wbilo tho tax would only last for three years. Not only would this competition in freights innko the farmers produce sell for more, but it would also enable him to buy his supplies cheaper. Thu saving in tho freights on guanos, bacon, molasses and other arti cles rould pay this tax three times over. Thc building of this Road would give Anderson a most desirable and efficient competition bet ween railroads. Tho con nection at Augusta would pince us 25 milen closer to Charleston, and would give us four outlets from that point to all Northern cities, viz: one hy way of Charleston, over thc South Carolina Rail road ; ono by Charlotte, over the Char lotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad ; ono over tho Port Royal Road, and one by tho water route. It would also give us a desirable connection with the West over tho Georgia Road. These line* would be in direct competition with thc Greenville nod Columbia linc, and would secure for us nil tho benefits of throng! freights. Considering these things, wt believe the building of this Road will hi of greater advantage to our Town am County than nny entcrpriso that has cn gaged our attention for many years. San Francisco, hitherto ono of th< most loyal of thc loyul Republican ettie of the Union., has been tho scenn of th wildest excitement, and has b"' nnrrowl; escaped a most terrible riot, arising di rectly out of politics. Tho Workinj Men's party of that city recently nomi nntod Rev. J. S. Kullnch as their candi date for Mayor, whereupon tho Chronich a newspaper published there by Chark and Mike Do Young, published defama tory and scandalous articles against hil and his dead father, which ho answere on lost Saturday, charging the DoYoung with falsehood and reflecting must seven ly'on their family record and birth. O Sunday morning Charles De Young drov up to Kalloch's door and called for hin As soon as ho appeared De Young slu him in tho breast, upon which Kalloc turned to go into his study and DeYoun shot him in the back. A large crowd < tho working men had gathered and in mediately overturned the carriage, pulk DoYoung from it, and would have beak him to death, but for a heavy squad i policemen, who took him away fro them and carried him tc the statu house. Miko DoYoung also went to tl station house for protection. A va crowd gathered and wore preparing take them out by forco and lynch thei Heavy squads of polico protected t prisoners. The military of tho city we under arms ready for action, and t greatest consternation prevailed. Ov ten thousand men assembled in ono plat and wcro addressed by Clitus Barbot their candidato for Congress, and otho who urged moderation, and finally pro va cd upon thom to await Kearney's arriv When Kearney arrived he addressed I meeting, and by his immenso influen secured ord?r. This excitement sho that there are .tore dangerous clcmei of discord in our country than those pi souted by tho solid South. Wo aro day the conservative power in our gt ernment-tho balanco wheel which ri ulntes its machinery. Tho factions tho North and Wost aro the sources fn which national trouble may yet looked for, and tho disturbance in S Francisco shows how easily theso c j men ts may become active forces in I destruction. f property. The correctiot tho ovils whiui produce these factions j the work to which tho statesman ouj \ to devote himself. The city of Memphis ia not only nfl ted with the scourge of yellow fever, now an organized band of colored pl dorers infests the city and threatens destruction of whatever property tl can get hold of. Threatening loti have been sent to tho city papers publication signed "Many colored c zens," but rave not been prinl Mounted polit** iVr*8 have boon orgai ed for all night service, and ? milit company has been formed. The crisi feared to be imminent, and the gem sentiment Is that an example, not s to be forgotten, ought to be made of tl robbers, if they persist in their pilfer Of course, there is nothing poi i ti ca this, but then if it had been aomo ac tho same kind on thc part of white ? eena towards colored people the wi army of Republican stalwarts would Y been howling about the Southern bari ism towards the negroes. Sensible \ pie do not hold the colored people of wholo country responsible for the di of these Memphis bandits. Neither i right that the people of the whole Sr should be abused and maligned bea of the ceca . <onai action of some exe or v?G?L-nc individual. Fair .mis men of the whole country ought to from these occurrences the compositio our society bi suoh that these conflicts tween race? are bound to riso will any political significance whatever, as conflicts occur between diffident c] es of northern society. They are the snit of sudden passion between men, not between political parties. - A correspondent of the Charle Neu* and Courier, from Midway, S dated August 22, says : "Yeuterday nins ?t about sunset a lady; wife of Nathan Cridor, rebiding about four r from thia place, was struck by light Whilst standing in tho dcor of her di ?fcfasnd instantly expired. Tho ?tom was not severo, and tho light did no other, damage but tear a shingle! off th* hnusa." Ooo of tho arguments used by tho op ponen ta of th? Savannah Valley Rail road to tho voting of a tax to build it ia, that the amount asked for will not bc enough to complete tho Road. The fol lowing eatimatea, baaed ou tho experience of the Oreen wood and Augusta Railroad authorities, who have grabed their Road with an expense of less than $000 per mile, shows that- tho amount asked for will put the company in a position which will enable them to complete tho Road on the $60,000 asked for. The actual distance to bo graded is less thnn fifty miler?, but for full measure wo will make thc estirante for that distance. At six hundred dollars per mile, tho cost will be for grading $30,000 ; twenty-six hundred cross-ties per mile, at 15 cents, will be $300.00 per mile, or $19,500 for thc whole distance, which makes the cost of grading and putting on thc cross-tics consume tho tux voted. Then a mortgage at the rate of $4,000 per milo will raiso $200,000. Cost of iron nt $2,800 per mile, which will rtccure tho best quality of iron with fish-bar joints, and luv it, would be $140, 000. Two engines, forty box cars, twenty flats lind four passenger cars would only cost $45,000, which would leave $15,000 on hnnd, so that even if the bonds of the Ruilroad Company should only sell nt ninety cents on tho dollar, thc amount raised would he amply sufficient to secure tho completion of tho Rond. These fig ures have beon gathered from practical men, and nro believed to bo over thc minimum nccessnry to build the Road. It will, therefore, bc seen that thc amount asked for if granted will bo sufficient to secure the connection with Augustn, which is so much desired by tho people of tho Savannah sido of our County. Perhaps tho most important question that has been presented to tho people of Anderson Court House, and of thc lower portion of Anderson County, since ibo war is tho propriety of building tho Sa vannah Valley Railroad by taxation. Our people arc too poor to undertake such a great enterprise by private Bubscriptions, for that would amount to a few having to build ?tho Road for tho benefit of the many. It used to bo that railroads could bo built in that generous style, but now if such a tiling is dono every man along the lino must do his part. There is, therefore, no better or fairer way of secur ing contributions on thia basis than by taxation. Tho load which would be ton great to bo attempted by a fow can bc easily borno when all hear their part. Every man living in the townships Dam ed will bo benefited by the Road, and an opportunity ?B afforded to secure it with out serious inconvenince to any of us, Then let us all on next Wednesduy vote tho necessary tax. The country remembors how John Sherman made matters ?soy for tho RHUM which advanced tho money necessary foi tho visiting statesmen to take their trij to New Orleans to adjust tho diffcrencef between tho Nicholls and Packard gov> ernments. Even tho New York Ttmet is now criticising him for extending tlx timo of payment for tho four per cont bond subscriptions to his favorito banks while others have been made to poy up In this way the Secretary of tho Treasury has given to these banks the uso of $47, 000,000 moro than two months longe than the timo fixed by law for the pay mont. It Roems that Mr. Sherman' friendship is profitable, and these littl irregularities with reference to tho publi money will no doubt strengthen hi friends in their advocacy of his nomina tion for tho Presidency. If Shermai ever becomes President, tho country wil bo ruled by tho most complete system o ?argo and small rings that has ever curse? any country. From all that we can learn, tho killin; i of Henry M. Dixon, an independen candidate for Sheriff of Yaroo Count) Mississippi, was a most unfortunate al fair. Tho facts soctn to bo that Di:o was a Northern man who married n Mb aisslppi lady and settled in that Stat< He was a desperato man, nnd had kille at least three white mon and quite number of negroes, so that he had bc como a terror to tho wholo country. I 1874 he became a prominent leader o tho Democratic aide, and waa the chane pion bull-dozer of Yazoo County duriu tho struggle to redeem it from Radical ism. Ho is represented as a bold an desperate fellow, of whom the followin account is given, showing how he mad a party of negroes hang their own leude in 1875 : He bad beard that a movement wi preparing among the negroes againi him, ana rodo alone on horseback to th place where tho negroes had gathered tc aether, carrying a rope over his sac die-bow. When ho came upon them h covered tho leader with his revolver, an ordered him to step out. Tho man obej ed. Selecting four other negroes by nam ho bade them como to him and take tb rope which ho gave them. "Put around that man's neck," he said. The boeyed. "Now, then, one of you go up thi trco and reeve it over that bough." Th was don?. "Now, then, pull away, ye three I" The tores men palled, an upon Dixon's command made tho roj fast when thoir unfortunate leader wi fairly owinging in the air. Dixon s on his horse eyeing tho scene until 1 was sn ti ficd that the maa was dead, ar thon, forbidding tho negroes to cut hi down for twenty-four hours, ordered the to disperse, which they did, and quiet rode off home. Things moved on In this way until tl opening of thc present campaign in th County, and Dixon became a candida for Sheriff. The convention which m in July last nominated Mr. Stubblefiel and this enraged Dixon so much that 1 announced himself an independent ca didate, and went vigorously to work sti ring up the negroes on the race issn This enraged a portion of the citizens Yasoo, and the announcement that Di: waa to assemble an armed band of n groes at Benton caused a crowd of whit to appear. Presently Cs^t. Dixon ai two friends rode np in a buggy. 1 faced tho crowd of advt, .naries, defii them, and returned home. Thither mob followed him, and demanded th he should leave tho country, never return. Several of his Democrat friends attempted to Blay tho mob, wi threatened to burn their booses aud I own. Finally, to save tho property neighbors, he agreed to withdraw aa candidate. it thought this bad ended tho mt ter, but Dixon returned to Yazoo Ci and, while passing down the street, w hailed by James N. Barksdale, candids for Chancery Clerk on tho Democratic ticket. Barksdale approached with a doable-barrel shot-gun and Dixon drew his pistol, whereupon Bark-dale present ed his gun and Dixon moved towards a stairway. Barksdale fired and Dixon fell mortally wounded. Several shots wero fired by Dixon, and Barksdale Gred once moro but missed. Dixon died in a short time, and llarksdale was arrested and hold for trial on a bond for 115,000. This circumstance, which is said to have grown out of a personal difOculty, bas been used with great '-fiect against the Democratic party iii the North and West, where the facts and mitigating cir cums'unces can uever bo presented. Such occurrences as this do more to keep the South down than all tho speeches Blaine, Coukliug mid Chandler can make, and for this reason they should bo v.iihesitatingly condemned. This matter, which was only local, has been magni fied into a great political massacro, and will be used until long after a hundred more wicked and dangerous crimes have been committed in thc North and West, which will uever be the subject of com ment by tho politicians who see in this nu opportunity to keep sectional strife alivo, and aro determined to make 'ho most of it. Anniversary Celebration of tho Connor Light Dragoons. Mn. EDITOR: Wednesday, 13th inst., was the day appointed by thu Connor Light Dragoons, of Garvin township, for the celebration of their second anniver sary. The day dawned cool and pleas ant, and by 10 o'clock a vast crowd had assembled at Bishop's B.'unch Academy. As the Connor Dragoons rode up to tho parade ground on one side, the red shirts 1 of tho Pendleton Artillery were seen flashing through the green foliage aa they advanced from an opposite quarter. Tho Pendleton Artillery, wearing their red shirts and navy blue pants, and tho Dra goons, in their uniform of dark navy bluo coats and gray pants, relieved by stripes of gold as the ensigninof cnvalry, presented a fine appearance. The troops, after going through the usual exercises of artillery and cavalry drill, in which they were incited to a generous rivalry by fair faces, bright eyes, and waving kerchiefs, wero followed by tho vast as semblage to a grove where a stand had been erected for tho speakers. Ocn. Connor had been expected, but much to our disappointment, circumstances pre vented his attendance. Maj. John B. Moore, however, had been able to accept tho invitation ex tended to him, nnd was on the stand. He began his oration by a suitable eu logy on tho distinguished gentleman whoso name the company bears. Ho spoke of bim as a true and law-abiding citizen: aa a brave and skillful soldier; aa a lawyer of unquestioned integrity and distinguished abilities, who had ad ded much to the jurisprudonco of his country ; and aa a statesman whose only ambition waa to promote the welfare of his country. Pursuing his theme, ho said : In 1876, when a cloud hung like a funeral pall over South Carolina,' when she lav crushed and bleeding under the feet of loreign tyrants and native serfs, Ocn. Connor came forward with Hamp ton nnd his other noble compeers to raise our prostrate State and restore our grand old Commonwealth to all her pristine dignity. Tho people gallantly came to their assistance, and when tho desperate fight was fought and tho glorious victory won, they rewarded the devotion and pa triotism of their leaders with the highest honors in the gift of the State. But, said be, the Democratic party has not alway* been so discriminating. lu 1874 Anderson County, with its undoubted Democratic majority, repudiated a man who had exerted all bis Btrongth in the cause nf hi? country and Democracy and placed in tho Senate the man who was the founder nnd perpetrator of Union Lenguea in our County. Such a policy is as pernicious as it is unjust. But ex cept ni these dark days, when nota gleam of hope animated their drooping spirits, South Carol i o ians have always done their duty. In tho Revolution no troops fought more bravely than thoso of Ma rion, of Sumter, and of Lee. In 1812 South Carolina's eons were found in tho front ranks of war fighting for Northern commerce and tho dignity of tho Union. In tho Indian war of 1836, South Caro lina lost none of her reputation for in trepidity and valor, and in the great war with Mexico it was tho old Palmetto Regiment that was foremost in every fight, and which first planted an Ameri can flog on the battlements of Mexico. South Carolinians h av o ever loved the Union with a fervid devotion-a devo tion equaled only by their lovo for their native State. They havo given in its de feuco their best and noblest blood : they have devoted to the Halls of Congress tbe talents of our greatest statesmen, and not till they deemed the Constitution of tho Union trampled upon, the dearest, rights of their State threatened, and the choice between tho Union and their State forced upon them, did they raise an arm against tbo United States Government. We will not now raiso the question whether or not tho opinions of South Carolina wero right. Her conduct, it is certain, was in accordance with her prin ciples, and I honor the devotion with which she maintained thoso principles, even to tho verge of her ruin. I would loee my good right arm rather than brand the course of South Carolina as disgraceful. Yet, for this conduct she bar been held up as a suitable mark for malignant opprobrium and unmerited insults; as a fit subject for tyrannical oppression and cruel wrongs. South Carolina has been pointed at as the bot hed of sedition and rebellion. But this is false. It is not that her term loved the Union less, but that they loved their Rial? mnrn. Thn rt<u>.th nf A l>rahnm Lincoln, ho went on to say, was to us one of tho greatest misfortunes connected with the war. Lincoln was a great states man and a pure patriot, and bad he lived would soon have bridged over the fearful chasm produced by civil war, and have restored peace and prosperity to tho dis tracted laud. His death devolved tho task of carrying out his policy on John son, and he, a Southerner, could not ac complish in opposition to Congress what Lincoln, the idol of the Northern people, could and would have effected. Congress triumphed over the President and pur sued a ourso which placed tho South under a despotism as rank and ruinons as that of a Robespiere or an Alba. For a time tho people of South Carolina were compelled by bruto force to submit, but as soon as the first faint gleam of hope appeared they vindicated the superiority or the Anglo-Saxon race, and now hold tho reino of gorcrnment, to which they are entitled by a'I tho attributes essential to rulers. Such a people will never, while they hi?vo strength to defend it, see any class of men touch the garment? of the Constitution to defile it. The only danger is that they may be lulled into a fatal dream of security from which they may awake to find their- limbs shackled with the chains of political slavery. The campaign of 1880 will be ono of vital im portance, and tho Democracy of South Carolina wltl havo to put forth its most strenuous exertions if it hopes to main tain itself in the position to which by ?U energy and perseverance it has raised it self. in the absence of Gen. Connor extem pore speeches were called for, and Mr. W. Knight followed in a speech ja Lib erty (we think that was tho theme; we ti?) not bear it accurately.) After a short interval, at the solicita tion of some visitors and tho vociferous clamor of tho assembly, Col. Simpson came forward and addressed tho audi ence. Ile briefly, hut clearly and forci bly laid bare the designs of Northern monopolists. These men wish to concen trate the government ut Washington, where they will havo it more completely under their control and can procuro leg islation in their interest to the detriment of the people. To illustrate, ho said : Some time since these men procured the withdrawal of Hilver from circulation. This took $7.00 from the price of every bale of cotton. Their object is to enrich themselves at the expense of thc people, and to do this they go to tiieir tool, the Secretary of Treasury, and procure a contraction of the currency. Then, when money is scarce and a small quan tity will purchase a great deal, they pur chase immense quantities of bonds, stocks and other things. Then they go again to tho Secretary of thc Treasury and pro curo an expansion of tho currency. Now, when money is plentiful and er?ry thing is high, they sell their bonds, etc., and pocket tho difference. Tbcso capi talists are opposed to Democracy because Democracy is opposed to monopolies, nud in tho next campaign these men will throw all the weight of their influence against UH, and we may expect no child's play in 1880. Hut there ure monopolista nearer homo with whose movements we are, if possibly, even more concerned. Take tho ?ingie item of phosphate mo nopolists. Phosphate rocks were found iu the navigable rivers of tho SUtto, and belonged to tho people. During Radical rule Chamberlain, Corbin, Geo. W. Wil liams and others bribed the Legislature for $? 10,000 to give them the exclusive right to mine these State demtits. These mouopo j lists tried to maka it appear that they 1 were working merely for tho good of tho people, when it was known positively that one of the companies was clearing one hundred per cent, on all their investment, and all this gain was at the expense of tho farmers of our State. Again, these companies export immense quantities of the crude rock to England, and since there can be no fraud here they ship tho best rock to Europe, and supply our far mers with thc refuse, and that, too, at a price so exorbitant that it would be cheaper for us to purchase in England what is sont from South Carolina than to buy it at tho works. As computed by tho best chemists in the United States, tho valuable ingredients amount to from $2 to $12 in the ton, and the farmers aro fraudulently robbed of tho balance of tho price. Shall we submit to such wrongs silently and patiently? These monopo lists aro using all tho power they can command, both with the press and the Legislature, but the people cannot and will not much longer suffer this extor lion. They will rise up and assert their rights, and by tho intelligent uso of tho elective franchise they will secure them. He then went on to speak of tho impor tance of our militia. Ho quoted Gov. Hampton aa saying that agents will be sent dowu from tho North to stir up strifes between the negroes nnd tho whites, and the timo will come when, not satisfied min stirring up political strifes, these agents will incito tho negroes to open violence aud general insurrection. Tho time will come when tho Republi can party will attempt to hold power by force, and any outburst of violence in the South will be seized os a propitious op portunity for its exercise, especially if the State governments cannot preserve peace. That government alone was re spected, he said, which had the power to enforce its laws, and tho forco of our States consists in our militia. Let us, then, not look upon our organization as useless, but regard them as the surest bulwarks of peaco, and as the protectors of nil of both races who wish to live un der a stable and efficient government. The crowd then dispersed to their houses, well satisfied that the day had been neither wasted nor perverted. A SAD SUICIDE.-Tho community waa shocked yesterday morning by the an nouncement that Mrs. Harriet E. Rose, a respectable lady of fifty three years of age, living with her husband at 2G9 Meeting street, v/p.? found dead in her room, having committed suicide by hang ing herself to the bedpost. Mr. John G. Rose, her husband, is a cripple, and makes a livelihood by making cigars. About 4 o'clock yesterday morning the. deceased got up and went into an adjoin ing room. She was seen by ber husband when sho got up, but thinking nothing about it ho fell asleep again. About 7 o'clock bogot up and to bis horror on entering the next, room ho discovered his wife hanging from the bedpost with a ropo around her neck. Mrs. Appelor, a neighbor, was called, and she called in Mr. V. Brandt, who, thinking that life might not yet bo extinct, cut the body down and used all means possiblo to re vive her, but in vain. Tho unhappy woman had tied tho rope around her neck and attached the other end of it to tho top of tho bedpost, which was very tall, belonging to one of tho old styled English bedsteads. Sho then jumped o tl the bed, throwing her whole weight on her neck, her feet not coming within two feet of tho floor. Her neck was not bro ken, and sho must have died of strangu lation. Uer husband and her eon, who hos recently been married, could give no reason for tbe rash act. Deputy Coroner Philippy was notified and held an inquest over the body at 4 o'clock yesterday af ternoon. The verdict was that the de ceane? came to her death at her residcucu, 269 Meeting street, about 7 o'clock on tiio morning of the 21st of August, 1879, by hanging herself to tho bedpost with n rope while laboring under mental aberra tion.- Charleston News and Courier. A RELIGIOUS VIEW OF THE CONKLING ScKAi'ic-Tho New York Independent says: "We would like to havo tho Republican party in this State, of which Scnatoi Colliding has been the leader, harmoni ous and successful. It does not nelp that party to talk about the moral character ol tho senator who is so admirable a political general. It may help somewhat those who have been known as anti-Conkling men, and thus sow dissension in tho par ty and weaken it. We are very sorry ; but we have moral duties which are more imperative than any political du ties, and we feel compelled to say that Senator Conkling has seriously imperill ed himself in the esteem of the Christian fieoplo of tho country ; that he has fatal v injured himself if it shall como to be believed that Mr. Spraguo bas good grounds for his jealousy. There may be pity for Mrs. Spraguo; there will be scorn for the proud senator who could bieak up another man's household. The American public is not going to allow iu public servants tb become indifferent U the requirement? of social honor." - The News and Couria, speaking of a thunder storm in Charleston on Inst Sun day, says : The electricity seems to have concentrated ita force upon the uppci portion of tho city. A gentleman, resid ing near Saus Souci street, states that foi a half hour there was a continuous pla) of lightning about his neighborhood, and the pcoplo thereabout began to believe that the final great fire had come. OD ono place eight large trees wera riven and shattered from (op to root. On an other a house was struck and considera bly damaged, tho chimney being knocked into pieces. A shotgun in one of the rooms was struck, and reduced to mere fragmenta. In this houao a colored mao was shocked so soverely that li* lay un conscious for several hours. A nnmbei of other persons were also shocked, mort or lees seriously. SOUTH CAROLINA SEWS. Gleaning? troua our Stat? Exclut ii gog. Abbeville JYess and Banner; Last Wednesday morning, between 1 and 2 o'clock, fire broke out in the laundry in Mr. W. Joel Smith's yard, and very near consumed the building before it was dis covered.
