Thomas Pruo Henson, which occurred under so in o - what mysterious circumstances in room 21 of tl-o Palmetto House at Spartanburg, cf which bo w?s proprietor, on Inst Sat urday afternoon. Capt. Donsou, who appeared to bo in excellent health up to thc afternoon of his death, complained of severe headncho and fooling badly, BO that instead of going to Greonvlllo on Boma business connected with his hotel ho wont up to his room to rest. A little boforo six o'clock tho hotel dork wont to woko him as business required hta presence. Tho room was looked, anti niter knocking tho clerk forced tho door. Upon ontoiing tho room ho found Capt. Benson lying dead across tho bed. A Coroner's inquest was hold nt which the following note found Sn hk memoran dum book in tho pocket of a suit which he did not havo on at tho time of his death, was produced : SPATvTAKDuna, June, 1880. Tb All lF?om It May Concern : This is to certify that I am losing mon ey every day, and I think that 1 nevor will be ablo to pay all that I owe. For that reason I commit tho deed. I am TIIOS. P. BENSON. I wish to bs hurled plain and quietly. Tiios. P. BENSON. Thie led somo to tho conclusion that he had committed suicide, but the physi cians who oxaminod tho stomach and brain gavo tho opinion that ho died from congestion of the brain. The stomach and brain, however, woro sont to Charleston for analysis, and tho inquest adjonrned to noxt Monday. Wo havo no Idea that thero Ia any truth in tho theory of suicido or poison. Tho genuineness of tho noto found hoing disputed, iii (Ver oni witnesses expressing d?n?rent opin ions on that subject, and ita dato four months ago giving it very little weight for this time. Capt. Bonsor.'s position also indicated somo sudden attack, which would not havo boen tho casu with poison. Thon tho causo assigned was not oporatlve at the timo of his death. Daring the past th reo months his busi ness wau excollout, nnd on tho 11th of this month, but two days after his doath, he was to havo removal to the lat go now hotel in Spartanbnrg, because tho Pal metto Bouse waa not aufllolont to nc.com niodato his business. He had property to represent his Indebtedness, and owed no ono but friends who wero ablo and perfectly willing to accommodate him as long aa necessary, and to a larger amount if bo had occasion for it. Those reasons seem to us conclnsivo that his doath was not a suicide. Capt. Bonson was oho of the most sin core, manly mid houorablo man we over know. Ho mado friends rapidly wherever ho went, and always retained them by his affable and admirable disposition and qualities. Ile was a membor of the Presbyterian Church, and his habits nnd ??fu v. ere always up to ibo profession hs mado. Ho was generous, kind and affec tionate-in fact, bs pure a man as could be found. Tho greater portion of his life was spent in our midst, and lt is thore foro particularly nnd to our people that Kia Amt!. I.,. ,.l".Jl 1... ?. doubt, ir? which wo da not share On Monday afternoon tho romains of tho deceased woro placed to rest in tho Presbyterian cemetery at this place after appropriate funor?l services, conducted by Rev. D. E. Frlorsnu, In tho presence of a very largo assemblage of rela tiven and friends. Tho stores wore all closed, and the town boll tolled in re spect, to his mornor'y. The bereaved family have tho sincerest sympathy of our peoplo In their Affliction. Tho Greonbaokers and Republicans of Greenville County havo combined and placed ti County tlckot in tho field for November, consisting partly of Groon backers and paltry of Republicans, aa ?\iiIows: For Senate, T.

A shooting ucrapo occurred on tho southoru outskirts of tho city of Green ville on last Saturday night about 8 o'clock, In which Eli Mooro, colored, was shot through tho arm, and Alfred King, colored, through both bunds, tho right log and in tho loft breast below tho region of tho heart. Tho shooting was dono by white mon in dofenso of several colored Dem?crata who bud accompanied thom to tho Republican meeting ut that placo on that dny, and who woro wantonly at tacked by a crowd of colored Republi cans, of whom tho wounded partlos woro a portion. Considerable excitement pre vailed for a timo among tho colored poo plo, and Mayor Townos and tho pollco forco ropnirod to tho sccno and quiet was restorod. Tho men on horsoback fled after tho shooting. Sheriff Gilreath wont in pursuit, and will arrest, all parties who participated in tho much i 'gt-cited occur rence. King's wounds aro serious. Sinco writing tho above wo have re ceived tho Greonvlllo Arte* of Tuesday, In which wo find tho following card, which gives tho facts about this unfortu nate difficulty. Tho curd ia addressed to tho oditor, mid says : In obodienco to your suggestion, tho Fairview Club determined to turn out on tho Oth in rod shirts. This club wei tho only ono which was out In rod shirts, mut consequently wns tho object of the venom and outburst;] of wrath from tho timo lt entered Greenville till tho attack upon it by tho negroes as lt was quietly pussing out from Greonvlllo. As tho club rodo in town they woro cursed and nbusod from every Btrcot corner by crowds of colorod people, who wero vory abusivo of tho colorod mon in our club who bad on tho red shirts, and they threatened repeatedly to tear oif their shirts. This state of affairs wus kopt up throughout tho dny-our club disregarding tho tbreuts. After wo left tho Bland or grounds, nnd as wo woro passing down Main street our club wus stoppou by a largo crowd of nogrocs, who completely surrounded us and threatened to tear the shirts elf tho negroes again, and ono mun seized tho brldlo on ono of tho horses riddon by a red shirt negro. This crowd waa passed without a collision, whereupon our men rodo to Coly's wagon yard and fed Block and ato supper. In tho meantime wo wero informed tbut tho negroes woro in search of our club, and they threatened to kill tho rod shirt nogrocs if they stayed there until night. This information comes from good authority, and tho fuels can bo pro ven. After feeding and getting supper, wo mounted and woro quietly passing out of town, being followed by bauds of negroes all tho timo. As tho club neared tho Episcopal Church it was rockod by par ties unknown, us they could not bo so ai it being dark. Wo thou passod on, and when wo ronchod Richland Crook one of tho club Btoppod to got sotno cigars. Whilo he was gott'ng tho cigars, tho negroes, armed with Kiilvrs, rails, pis tole, rocks, etc., attacked tho club, when tho ciub commenced tiring in dufonso. Tho skirmish lasted not moro than two minutes, tho club riding off as soon as j possible, being followed by rocks, Bhot und other missile*. Theso .'tat ementa aro made in a hurried and scattered way, but aro true and can bo Bubstantl'vtod. I hopo you will give thom room. J. T. PEDEN. Fairview, S. C., October H. P.

This distinguished gentleman hos just returned from bis sojourn in Virginia for recreation, and upon lils arrival at bis homo In Edgcftold ho at onco took occasion to rebuke tho aplrit of Inde pendence which hos shown itsolf in oomo localities by writing nnd publishing tho following card : OAKLY PAKK, Sept. 25, 18S0. Tb the Editor of the Charleston Mercury : I returned on yesterday from tho VT Lite Sulphur Sp; Ings cf v/cst Virginia. A friend bas just shown mo n copy of your paper in which is my nomination as nu Independent candidate for tho office of Governor of this Stato. My position In regard to tho modo and manner of the nomination of the present D?mocratie Stato ticket la a mxtter e>t raMrA alan my determination not to run as un Indepen dent Democrat undor any circumstances. I therefore respectfully decline tho nomi nation. I nm tho sams Stralghtout Dem ocrat I have always been, and each day confirms mo more and moro lu tho cor rectness of my position. Your obedient, servant, M. W. GARV. Of course, evory one know that Gen. Gary would not be an Independent can didate, but wo admire tho promptness with which ho repudiates ovon the Bug gestinn. Judge Cook o 's an accomplished politi cal dodger. Wo have known him in the Legislature speak on one side of a ques tion and record bis vote upon the oppo site sido. Tho speech was intended for tho Legislature and tbe vote for tho poo plo at home. It .is no wonder that ho Is now rnnnlng for two offices et ono timo. The people of Greenville will do well not to be misrepresented by bim any longer. Hon. D. Y. Wyatt Aiken will address the eltlsens of Anderson County at tbe Fair Grounds on next Thursday upon current topics. Every citizen who e&n do KO should attend the Fair ou that day to bear tbe ?pooch, -.-. -' Tho admission to tho County Fair tbjs year le only twenty Ave cents. We trust that our readers will show thoir appre ciation of the reduction by all attending tho exhibition. ^ Wo hope that all persona having fruit? of their own growth will exhibit them at our coming- County Fair, to let our people know the success which will f > tend ?rutt growing in this County; TUE ELECTIONS- ON TUESDAY. Up to tbs Sour of gol Di?, to proas wo bavo boon un>,bled to obtain by telegraph any nows concerning" tho Indiana and Ohio elections, although wo havo made diligent efforts to do HO. Tho Associated Press dispatches, in the Greenville .Yiiri of yestorday, stated that tho returns up to midnight Tuesday Indicated consider ablo Republican gains In many sections of both Htatos. Both parlies, howovcr, claim thc victory lu Indiana, while it ls genorally conceded that the Republicans had carried Ohio. A very largo vote was polled in both Staten, and it may yet turn out moro favoi able to tho Democracy than things now ind i ca te-. Tho election In West Virginia, which was heb! on the samo day, went Demo? craibi by a very largo majority. TUE IlESULT IN O KOKO IA. Tho election of Stato officers in Geor gia on lust Wednesday resulted lu tho triumphant ro-elcetlon of Qov. Colquitt and tho entire D?mocratie ticket. Gov. Colqultt's majority is over sixty thou sand, and two thirds of tho Legislature elected favor tho ro-oloction of Ex-Gov. Joseph E. Drown to tho United Stales Sonttto, so that tho voter? of Georgia havo shown themselves to bo nn eminently sensible and eonscrvatlvo people Hy tho way, lt looks as though tboro was Homo causo for tho CHtimato placed by thc Ma con boy on Gov. Brown's ability to carry out his purposes. At tho limo tho com ments on Gov. Drown wore fiercest two boys in Macon who wo will, for eonvo nionco, designate as No. 1 and No. 2. mot on thu Htroets oftbat elly and began dis cussing tho situation by No. 1 aHking No. 2 If ho believed thnt Gov. Drown would over get to hoavon. No. 2 replied by saying that ho did not know, but asked No. 1 if thc Es-Govcrnor hud ovor said ho was golug thora. No. 1 in turn ox pressed Ignorance upon this point, and askod No. 2 why ho had asked that ques tion, to which No. 2 roplicd, because if ho has ovor Bald ho ls going there ho will do lt, for ho novor fnilod to do whatovor ho wanted. Ex-Gov. Drown baa been eminently successful, aud has proven himself n wiso and useful statesman. Tho pooplo of South Carolina heartily bndorso tho result of tho Georgia elec tion. THE KEPUBLICAN TOLIOY. Thoso who Imagino that tboro is little or no contest this year ovor the Stato and electoral tickets in South Carolina uro very badly mistaken. Only a few days ago Gen. Stoibrand, tho Republican nominee for Congress in this District, gavo tho following intimation of Repub lican policy in this campaign : '.As Republicans, knowing our adver sarles by tbolr acts lu tho past, lt be hooves us to preparo against Democratic arithmetic in tho future, for it is by this science that tho candidates upon tho Re publican ticket havo beon counted out, however largo the majorities given them at tho polls. Wo must, appoint at onco efilelont enumerators in ovory township, to mako lists of tho voters, and des?gnalo thorein all who aro willing to dlscloso to tho enumerator their preferred tiekot. Dy repeating this clarification of ?the voters at tho polls, by taking down the nanto of ovory voter when lu tho not of casting his ballot, rho onumerators nnd poll watchors will no onablod to moko oath, not only of tho number of votes east, but also to call boforo any investi gating tribunal ovory Republican voter who appeared and cast his ballot at the election and thus provo our caso and prevontt'.ppnnonts, howovor export In the Democratic election arithmetic, from such a walk ovor, as by our nogleet and default, thoy havo had horotoforo." From thia lt will bo seeu that the most thorough organization is being effected 1 by tho Republicans throughout the Stato. Tho only remedy for this is n full voto by tho Democrats and a careful watching of tho polls. Wo can beat tho Republican party mid wo must do it. Every man owos his timo and service to tho Stato in this causo. It will novor do for n moment to run tho risk of letting tho old thieves and robbers back Into power in South Carolina. Attornoy-Goncral You mans attended tho Darlington Court last week in the Cash-Shannon duol ca.so, but failed to glvo out a bill against any of tho parties. Tho res. sui assigned for this courso is that ho could, not obtain witnesses to sond boforo tho Grand Jury, and lt is generally thought that thia will bo an ond of the imch-talkod-of prosecution. It seoma Btrango to. us that out of tho thirty or forty poisons prcsont tho Attornoy-Gen eral could not procuro tho necessary tes timony. It ls much to bo regretted that the prosecution hud not boon vigorously pushod, for tho law in this regard should bo vigorously enforced to tho ond that tho pernicious custom of duelling may bo forovor slopped In South Carolina. Judgo T. II. Cooko ls nGreonbackor right. Ills deslro for omeo issoptrong that bo runs for two ofllcos ut ono timo. If ho ls nut ablo to got tho position of Sccrotary of Stato on tho Grconbackor'a ticket, ho will content himself with a scat in tho Stato Souato from Greonvillo County as n Grtenbackor. The 6onsiblo pcoplo of tho Stab.' may perhaps conclude to lot somo person who only runs for ono o ul co at a time havo tito so respectivo po sitions, and not tako the Judgo from bia practico. Tho caso against Mr. A. A. Clisby in Edgcflcld County, .or tho killing of Dr. Bland, has been continued nntil thc March term, in consequence of tho absence of a material witness for the State. Tho indict? ment against Mr. A. A. Glover, os accesso ry to tho killing, was quashed "n motion of tho solicitor. Tho Rov. Dr. Fulton, of Brooklyn, in tersperses bis sermons with tho bittorost of political harangues, and recently ad dressing a meeting in bis house of wor ship, tho Brooklyn Tabernacle, said : "Wo ought to say to tho mon of tho South, 'This is your last chance. If you continue to mlsrulo wo will wlpo out the Stales of tho South. We will put jou under Tctrilorial Government, and wherovor tho flag of this Union waves it shall wave for freedom and equal justice." [Applauses I I suppose that will bo reported to-mor row If nothing else I say Is. 1 hope It will bo. I hope lt will go to tho very ??rs of tho Southern people. And I think that a Solid South means a wenk-knood North. Four years from now won't do. I havo a dear fiiond and a Democrat on thia platform to-night, aud I tell him that if he cares for tho blood of his first born, if ho cares for the blood of my first born. If he cores for tho memory of the first born of tho wholo country, lot him pray for the election of James A. Garu?la. I Applause.] But I bello ve in tho tri umph of right. I beliovo that if we talk right and bray right wo can make this country solid for.God.'' This clergyman evidently knows more about tho gospel of bate than that of love. For vindictiveness and blasphemy we think tho 'Rsv. Doctor ls entitled to tba premium . -. It should ba noted that tb? f?ry mer? chants, who the Ropublicog organs *p}\ us aro In a, paolo because they peljoyo the South will control tht> Govurninont, bankrupt the country and kui buainoss, ar? working like t*?avtra to sell all the {roods they c*u to Southern merchants on Ins usual term*. A FRIUIITFUL COLLISION. The ItcBult ot I tad MjtnoReu.viit ot au 'declinion Train. FTTTSBURO, October IO. A frightful collision occurred last night on the I'imnuylvunla Kailroad.tioar tho Twenty-eighth street crossing, hy which nino'peoplo wero killed outright. Eleven more have died since, making in all twenty deaths, vt hilo as many moro are dangerously hurt and, physicians say, cannot recover. In audition to these there aro a largo number who ure slightly injured. The first Section of an accommodation train going East left tho Union Depot at 11.31 p. m., having a largo number of passengers who had come to tho city to participate in tho closing exercises ol the Exposition and to witness the demon stration. The back platform was so ci o wded that tho rear light could not bo soon by tho onginoer of the soetlon fol lowing. Tho first section stopped at tho regular station at '28th street, where they woro delayed on account of another train which was on the next block. Tho sec ond section carno ulong at a good speed, but, owing to tho crowd on tho buck platform of tho first section tho signal lights wore hidden from view, conse quently tho engineer of tho second did not see the truiii nhcad of him until ho was so near it that ids tram could not bo checked In limo to provint a collision, und tho engine went crashing into the rear coach of tho first, section packed with human beings. Thc engl no Lm ried itself to the rory cub windows among the scroumiiig, suffering men, women und children, mangling all wiio were in its course. The boilorhoad of tho colliding engiuo wus burst off by tho ?hock, und scalding wat"' and steam penrod over tho occupante of tho cab as if bent on completing tho terrible work that hud gone beforo. It is imponible to do.-cribo tho feurful sceno that followed. Tho moans of tho dying and wounded and tho shrieks of thone who ba 1 lost their friends woro frightful. Woru was imme diately telegraphed to tho mayor's oflico for assistaneo, and twenty-flvopolicomon, with a full corps of physicians and wag ons, wero dispatched at ouco to tho scouo of tho disaster, where tboy wero soon busily employed in alleviating tho sufferings of tho victims and clearing awny tho wreck. Tho wounded who wore unable to caro for themselves wore carried to the Soldiers' Hospital, but a short distance from tho piuco of tho acci dent. A Horrible .death. A correspondent of tho Charleston AV ic.? and Courier, writing from Georgetown, S. C., gives tho following particulars of tho burning to death of Mrs. Fosterling in that placo on Friday morning, 1st in stant : Tho flro flond would seem to havo sin gled out our town ns tho special mark of his dovouring rogo. ur community bas just witnessed s ittber disastrous conflagntion, this time u 'tended with n tragedy of tho most heartrending de scription. At 3 o'clo. k thin morning a light was seen on tho . ide of tho leo housoowned by Mrs. Funny Fasterling, tho northern oud of which wau used es a dwelling by hen-elf and son. In a few moments tho llames burst forth, and spread with frightful rauidity over tho wltoio building, Mrs. Enstorliug's son managed to escupo by dropping from fio buleony of the third story to tho groom., but sho herself, nil hopo of escupo from tho rear being cut off, seemed completely dazod by tho horror of ber situation. Doforo tho Hames bad enveloped tho fi-amii of tho balcony sho ro-entered the houso and omorged again walking and acting Uko a person in a dream, und paying no heed by word or sign to the agonized entreaties of tho few bystanders who Implored ber to let herself drop, promising to break tho violonco of tho lull. Her son, a Iud some lt! or 14 years, maddened at tho awful sight of bis moth er's misery mudo tho most fraut'.". exer tions to extricate himself from tho grasp of tho friends who bold him that bo might rush back into the bro and rescue nor from death. At length the flames sur I mounted tho balcony and swept in Horco sheets around bor. Clasping ber I hands over her face and then throwing them out in a supplicating gesturo she 1 sank backward into tho hory embrace. Tho fact that no means of escapo was provided is duo to tho unaccountable delay in giving tbe alarm and to the fact that no ladders wore nour ut hand. Tho origin of tho tire, at first wrapped in mystery, ls explained by Master Joo Fosterling as follows : The night being cool, cid there being no chimney in tho houso, ? the was built by himself and mother in a box tilled with wot earth and sawdust On retiring water was poured on lt and the box shoved under tho stairway. Tbero cnn bo no doubt that after smouldering for throo or four boura tho few sparks which had escaped extinguishment burst into a blaze, which swiftly grow into a soothing mass of flumes, tilling tho interior beforo break ing through to the outside Tho whole community ls saddened by tho awful calamity, marked by circumstances of such appalling horror, and tho lntonsost sympathy ls manifested for tho orphan and penniless boy who only abandoned bis mother in tho bopo of obtaining tho moans of saving her, und who was only prevented by force from rushing back to moot bis own death. Oar Uncle Sam. '.'I.I:VI:I,ASD, OHIO, October 0. Tho fellowing telegram to John G. Thompson, Chairman of tho Stato Demo cratic Committee, was received at tbe Democratic rallies thro .vrhen* Ohio to night: KEW YoiiK, October 8.-Hon. JA G. Thompson-It would delight mo to meet tho Domoerats of Ohio at Col umbu a on Saturday ovenlng, but I could not ad dross them. I, therefore, speak to thom by tolegrapb as I must at present. It was my opinion In 1870 that If all tho Ohio Democracy had known and be lieved in tho strength of their cause Ohio would havo been carried for the Democratic ticket. Tho error should not now be repeated. If ovory man will moasuro his own effort and sacrifico in Uio ponding canvass by an extraordinary standard, tho Ohio Democracy will give victory In advanco of tho National con tost. SAMUEL J. TILDEN.

Heavy Registration? Tho registration books wore opened in New York Tuesday, and 72,670 voters were registered, which ls 10,000 In ex cess of tho first day's registration In 1870. Tho World thinks this large registration indicates a vote of 2?u,???, and a Domo oratio mpjorlty of 85.000 In Ute city, whilst tl-o Teme? says ''lt is useless to dlsgulso tho fact that so largo a registra tion will bo generally accepted as favora ble to Democratic success." The Time* expects a registration of over 200,000 and a total vote of not less than 160,000. - Tho D?mocratie votem the North In 1870 was 2,671,430.
