The dead-lock, which commenced in the United States Senate or. the 4th of March last, still continues. The latest news from Washington indicates that the Republicans will recede from the position heretofore taken by them, aid that tbe Senate will proceed to consider the busi? ness for which tbe extra session of that body was called. Unless the Republi? cans do recede the Senate will probably remain in extra session until December next, when tbe regular session will begin. It is well understood that the Democrats, who, under the rules of the Senate, can prevent the Republicans from carrying out their contemplated partisan legisla? tion, will remain firm, and will insist that executive business, for which the Senate was convened, shaU^ae first attended to. Tbe publb sentiment of the country will sustain them. Should they recede? Certainly not, if they are right, and the questions at issue are of great import? ance. It is a matter of no interest and of very little importance to the people of . the United States as to -the persons who shall fill tbe various miuor offices of tbe Senate, whether they be Democrats or Republicans, and any prolonged delay in determining this question by filibuster? ing, if no other question was involved in it, would be regarded by the country as captious and meet with universal con? demnation. The Republicans insist that the first business of tbe Senate shall be ' tbe election of the minor offices, such as Sergeaut-at-Arms, Door-Keeper, &c, while tbe Democrats insist that the Sen? ate shall go into executive setision and act upon tbe nominations submitted by the President All tbe great interests of the country?its executive, judicial, financial and its relations with foreign countries, depend upon these nomina? tions, and common courtesy to the Presi? dent, as well as every sentiment of patriotism, require that they should re? ceive the earliest attention of the Senate, and yet the Republicans refuse to con? sider them until they have filled the minor offices of the Senate with their own partisans. The Democrats ought aod would gratify the Republicans in this whim if there was no other question involved in the election of the officers of the Senate than that of the political affil? iation of tbe persons to'be elected. The Democrats, ?s well as the country, be? lieve that there was a corrupt bargain between Gen. Mahone, one of the Sena? tors, from Virginia, and tbe Republicans, by which Mahone was to enable tbem to organize the Semite, and tbey in return to give him the naming of certain officers of the Senate and to have the control of Federal patronage' in Virginia. Al? though Mahone was always a Democrat, and elected to tbe Senate'as a Democrat by Democrats, he has upon every vote cast voted with the Republicans and given them the organization of the Sen? ate, thereby complying thus far with his part of the bargain, and tbe Republicans appeal to the Democrats to enable them, by withdrawing tbeir opposition to going into an election of officers, to comply with their part of the bargain by placing Mahone's henchman in office, and thus : reward him for hid corruption and treachery. This the Democrats refuse to do, preferring to remain in Washington until December' rather than that the United States Senate should countenance such glaring corruption and treachery in their own body, and they will be sup ported by tbe moral sentiment of tbe country. But this is not all. Mahone bas by his corrupt alliance with the Re? publicans not only given tbe organization of the Senate to them, but proposes through the instrumentality of Federal patronage and the assistance of the negro voters of Virginia also to give them the State this Fall. To do this, it is neces? sary tliat he should have the control of the Federal appointments in the State, not to reward Republicans for their ad? hesion to the party, but to buy up cor? rupt men in the Democratic party as he was bought up, and then by producing discord in tbe party, and uniting the worst elements in tbe party with tbe negroes, carry the Stato, and the Demo? crats are asked to assist in -the accom? plishment of this base design. No deeper humility could befall the State than the success of Mahone, for it would place the State iu the hands of ignorant, corrupt aud bad men. Virginia, how? ever, will be saved this humiliation by tbe virtue and patriotism of her own people, as well as tbe determination of the Democratic party to resist to the last tbe consummation of Mahone's dishon? orable and fraudulent contract with the Republicans. ' The discord in the Republican party, which threatens a split as soon as an ex? ecutive session is held, is another cause of tbe dead-lock. A great pressure has been brought to bear upon tbe President to induce him to recall some nominations sent to the Senate, which are obnoxious to Mr. Conkling and the stalwart ele? ments of the party, but the President remains firm, and there is no probability that he will do any thing more than be has done to conciliate Mr. Conkling. Unless a reconciliation is effected, a split is inevitable, and Mr. Conkling and his allies will have their hands full in the contest with the administration and its friends. In the meantime tbe ability of the Republicans to perform their part of the contract with Mr. Mahone remains problematical. * THE SOLID SOUTH. The political future of our country is complicated. There is opposition to the South because it is tolid, and it is the opinion of some that it would be best for fie solid South to be broken up?that if Gen. Mahone and his supporters should succeed in Virginia, it may be advanta? geous to the cause of Democracy, and that we would not loso much by having a few of the Southern States to elect in depeitdeni candidates, or even Republi? cans for their officers and representatives* A journal of this State recently published an article in which the writer seem to consider a chango of parties certain, and adds that when the change comes men will not hesitate to express their opinions for fear of being condemned by public sentiment. These ideas appear to us to be dangerous, as well as fallacious. The Republican administration is oppos? ed to the true interests of the South. Their whole effort is to secure to them the perpetual administration of the govern? ment. To this end they have encroached upon the Constitution as far as was in their power. A division of the Democratic South is just what they want. Shall we sacrifice several of our States to the insa? tiable Minotaur ? Are we to try to con? ciliate the Republicans by giving up self government? We would not have one section of our country opposed to anoth? er. The interests of the North and South are common, and it can result in no good for one section to put itself in coutinued opposition to the other. The Democratic party of the South has never sought to array one section against an? other. It has sought to obtain a good and economical self-government, and it has done this. It has the confidence of our people, and is the government of the class who represent the intelligence, virtue, wealth, and common interests of our couutry. Are the principles of the Democratic party such as we should give up? It is true that there is little differ? ence between the two great parties in some respects. Upon some questions there is difference of opinion among the constituents of both parties, such as, financial policies, the reformation of the tariff, &c. Yet. tffere is a great difference between the principles of the Democratic and Republican parties. It was with much difficulty and after great effort that the Constitution was ever adopted. Why ? Because the peo? ple thought it ceded too much power into the hands of the general government and endangered their liberties. They saw the danger of party patronage and cen? tralization. The Democrats have always opposed centralization. The Republi? can party has been as active in its efforts to centralization as Alexander Hamilton himself. It has engrossed all the power and patronage possible iu order to main? tain party supremacy. But what is worse than this, it owes its present existence to sectional animosity. It is the avowed euemy of the South. The recent success of the Republican party was obtained by abusing the South, not by discussing principles. If it were argued that it was obtained by discussing principles, we should believe from the Republican p&pers that the greatest principle of the party was opposition to tlie South. We would not advocate the opposition of section to section, but we cannot give up ths principles of the Democratic party. To abandon these principles would be our ruin. Then why give up the name of Democrat, if we do not give up Demo? cratic principles. In ere is nothing sec? tional in the name of our party. We cannot afford to disband the party whose virtuous and intelligent rule has brought peace and prosperity to our country and advanced its most important interests. * DEATH OF LORD BEACONSFIELD. The death of Lord Beaconsfield, who has been ill for some time, occurred in London at half-past one o'clock on Tues? day morning, 19th inst, in his 76th year. He was the son of Isaac Disraeli, the author of "The Curiosities of Literature," etc. Benjamin Disraeli achieved great success in literary as well as political life. He was the author of several novels of great merit, having commenced his literary labors before the age of twenty-one. He was a Jew by birth, but his political aspirations led him to profess and advocate the religion of the Established Church. However, he seem? ed to be conscious of the fact that be was a Jew, and in "Coniogsby," one of his novels, he took occasion to pay a band some tribute to the Hebrew character, recounting the eminent positions in the political and literary world filled by rep? resentatives of his own race. After being defeated two or three times, he was elected to Parliament at the age of thirty-two. Since that time he has occu? pied many prominent positions. He was three times Chancellor of the Exchequer, and while holding this position delivered his famous speech in the House of Com? mons upon the death of the Duke of Wellington in 1852. He was twice Prime Minister of England?first in 1868, and again in 1874, on the dissolu? tion of Gladstone's Ministry. He con? tinued to occupy this great and responsi? ble office until the new Cabinet was or? ganized with Mr. Gladstone at its head. Whilst his political career has in several respects been condemned, it is conceded by all that he was a man of great genius and political sagacity. His long life was an illustrious and active one. His suc? cess was almost commensurate with his aspirations, and whilst engaged with the labors of an active political life, he maintained a rank in the literary world which is worthy of the highest emula? tion. * REDMOND'S FATE. A letter |from Raleigh, N. C, in refer? ence to the alleged capture and death of Redmond, the outlawed moonshiner, Bays: "Redmond was at his home, in Swain County, where he has resided since he fled from South Carolina. When the officers surrounded his house and con? cealed themselves in the bushes the dogs began to bark, and Redmond took bis gun and went out to see what was the matter. He was hailed by the officers to halt. Redmond immediately raised his gun to shoot and was fired upon by the officers. He was then taken to Char? leston, the county seat, where he died the next day. He said to Ray, who shot him: 'You have shot me; I never sur? rendered and never would have done so.' Redmond killed and wounded several officers during his career, and was known as a thoroughly desperate man, who would die 'with his boots on' rather than give up and take his chauces in the courts."_ ? Dr. John Wells Simpson, father of Chief Justice Simpson, died at his home at Glenu Springs on Monday, 11th inst., in the 85th year of his age. ? There was $4,701.20 in the treasury of the city of Greenville at the close of the month of March. ? Mr. John James, of Atlanta, Ga., made over $100,000 last week speculating in the Georgia Railroad stock. ? From September 1, 1880, to March 31,1881, Camden shipped 18,362 bales of cotton against 15,845 for the same time last season. The New Railroad Combination. We learn that Col. Wadley presented to the board the full particulars of the negotiations which resulted in the rent of tbe Georgia Railroad?action which was rendered necessary by the efforts of the Clyde combination to secure the legiti? mate business of the South Atlantic , ports, specially Savannah and Charles I ton. It was shown that the Clyde Syn? dicate have control of over fourteen hun? dred miles of railway in the South, to wit: Richmond and Danville, 141 miles ; Piedmont Railroad, a link built by the Confederate Government during tbe war between Danville and Greensboro',) 49 miles; Northwestern North Carolina, 25 miles; Western North Caroliua, 185 miles; North Carolina Railroad, 283 miles; Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta, 190 miles; Greenville and Columbia, 164 miles; Spartanburg, Union and Col? umbia, 69 miles; Atlanta aud Charlotte Air-Line, 269 miles; Laurens Railroad, 31 miles; Blue Ridge Railroad,43miles; Elberton Air-Line, 50 miles. Clyde, in conjunction with Gen. Logan, of Rich? mond, and other parties, forming a strong syndicate, have left nothing undone to se? cure the business of this section, with the object of building up Norfolk, to which Sort they have a fine steamship line from Tew York, and in which they are largely interested. They are possessed of ample means, and their purpose was to secure the Georgia Railroad at any price. Dur? ing the negotiations, which closed with the rent of the Georgia to W. M. Wadley and associates, there was a representative of tbe Clyde Syndicate in Augusta with instructions, it is understood, to go be? yond any offer that might be made by other parties. The directors of the Geor S'a considered the proposition made by essrs. Wm. M. Wadley, Moses Taylor, John H. Fisher and Samuel Sloan, the best for the interests of the road and the State, and accepted it, as is known, de? clining to entertain any project having for its object the building up of a North Atlantic port to the detriment of South Atlantic ports. This measure was ren? dered absolutely necessary to defeat the schemes of the Clyde combination, and is claimed to be in the interests of Savan? nah and Charleston. All the details, we understand, were fully explained by Col. Wadley, and the boara unanimously approved of the course pursued. The rent of the Georgia is not to the South Carolina Road or specifically to the own? ers thereof, but virtually to Col. Wm. M. Wadley, who is backed by parties having large interests in tbe South Carolina. The Purchasing Committee of that road are in full accord with the lessees and are working to so arrange matters as to place the South Carolina under a similar con? tract with Messrs. Wadley and associates. This action will probably be taken in a short time, as it is thought that the ob? stacles which now prevent the road from passing into the hands of the firm men? tioned, and a new organization being effected, will be speedily removed.? After this thorough exposition of the motives which urge this unification of the roads, we understand that the sense of the directors on the subject of the Cen? tral entering into such a contract was taken and was found to be favorable to a combination of the three roads under one management in a traffic agreement, without discrimination in favor of Charleston or Savannah. Further dis? cussion followed in regard to various matters, tbe nature A which we were unable to ascertain. It was decided, however, that the directory would enter? tain such proposed contract as that refer? red to, and the matter was left with Col. Wadley to work up the details, and in tangible form present his proposition at a meeting to be called as soon as he per? fects his plans. It would seem from this that, whiist the Central Railroad may not lie leased, that the same parties who rented the Georgia Railroad may contract to operate and manage the Central for an unlimited time, upon paying a certain sum per annum for the right and comply? ing with certain conditions and provis? ions. It may be assumed in tbe event this is done that tbe contractors or lessees will pay a good round sum annu? ally considerably in excess of the rental of the Georgia. This may or may not be done, but it would seem from the above, which is based on what is reliable infor? mation, to be very probable, notwith? standing the assertion that talk of a lease of the Central is absurd. The future will prove. It was contended that the Cen? tral could not lease the Georgia, and yet wo find that Col. Wadley has flanked all obstacles and secured tbe Georgia. All things point to the three roads being practically made one corporation, with Col. Wadley as manager. Mr. Quintard, controlling the Charleston and New York steamship lines, is in full accord with the proposed movement, aud as soon as everything is accomplished, the facilities of that line-will be increased. - The controlling idea in the whole movement seems to bo that Charleston and Savannah, under existing circum? stances, cannot afford to be rivals and must work harmoniously together. This in brief, we think, comprises tbe main points of the present status of railroad affairs. Although our deductions upon the results of yesterday's meeting may not be entirely accurate, yet they are log? ical.? Savannah Newa. The Laurens Lynching. A dispatch from Newberry to the .News and Courier confirms the statement that a woman has been lynched in Laurens, the first instance of the sort evc-r known in this State. It says: "Suuday night, the 3d inst., the bam of Mr. J. S. Blalock, at Martin's depot, Laurens County, was set fire to and burned. The barn was near tbe dwell? ing-house, so near that the inference was that it was the purpose of the incendiary to burn the dwelling-house too. Mr. Blalock made investigations which satis? fied him that the incendiary was a negro woman named Judy Metts, living on bis place. On Saturday, tbe 9th inst., he went to Trial Justice N. S. Harris, at Clinton, and swore out a warrant against the woman. The Trial Justice placed the warrant in tbe hands of Constable Samuel Gary, who arrested Judy Metts at Martin's depot, on Saturday night, and started with her to Clinton. Two miles above Martin's a party of men on horseback overtook the constable and his prisoner. The -party were disguised, having cloth over their faces, with eye? holes to nee through. Some of the party took charge of the constable and others took tbe prisoner, and carried tbem off in different directions. The constable says that he was kept about an hour and was then told to "git," which he accord? ingly did without delay, going to Clinton. The woman was found the next morning about two hundred yards from where the lynchers took her, hanging about twenty feet from the ground by the neck to a tree dead. The Coroner's inquest on Monday returned a verdict that she came to her death by banging at the hauds of persons unknown to the jury. Nothing has been done so far es I have heard to discover the lynchers. The woman leaves a husband aud children. This same woman was accused two years ago of burning the dwelling-house of a Mr. Simpson." ? In the year 1879 there were 613 bales of cotton shipped from Walhalla, and in the year 1880, 991 bales were shipped. There were also shipped in 1880 4,000 head of cattle and 21,270 fowls. ?

Ensign Stoney graduated at Annapolis after the war.? Winnsboro* News. THE ISLAND OF DEATH. A Graphic Picture of the Desolation of Chio. London, April 17. A correspondent of the Times at Chio says: I have now made from personal observation and with the help of others a pretty thorough canvass of the state of affairs throughout the Island. The total number dead is scarcely less than 4,000, although some allowance may be due to the fact that immediately after the disas? ter many persons crossed to the main? land, and some of those now reported as dead may be there. The villages on the southern side of the Island are com? pletely wrecked, hardly a single house being left standing. The centre of the volcanic action seems to have been near Nenita, overlooking Megalo Bay on the east coast, where 300 persons perished out of a population of 1,200. At Vounos 26 perished out of *a population of 600. At Philitia 60 out of 250; at Klamonti 40 out of 1,500, at Armitia 40 out of 600 and at Kenri 130 out of 480, on the western side of the island at Mesta many houses fell, but nobody was killed. At "Vesta three-fourths of the buildings were wrecked, but only one person was killed. At Lethi 23 persons were killed out of 600, at Aigon;ma 40 out of 400. At Anabatos 12 were killed. This is the most northerly town on the west side, which suffered severely. Other towns were severely shaken, but are not in ruins. The department of Chio and the towns southeast of it suffered most of all. Kalleraissa is simply a mass of ruins, and it is difficult to distinguish one house from another. I cannot conceive how any considerable number of the popula? tion escaped, yet only 448 perished out of 1,800. Neighboring villages Buffered similarly. Seven of the principal con? tained 8,570 people and are believed to have lost 1,327 dead. At least nine tenths of the houses in the southern and southeastern portions of the island must be rebuilt or repaired. The population are now living in tents and there is great need of food and shelter. The northern part requires help, but to a less extent. Those severely wounded are nearly all being brought to Chio by men from the ships. The work of clearing away the ruins has begun here, but in the villages the people are still panic stricken. Lit? tle can be done as long as the shocks con? tinue. Of 200 persons, for example, who Eerished in Thclopotamoi, only 65 bodies ave yet been recovered, ana a similar proportion in other villages. About 50,000 people are camping in the south? ern half of the island, with nothing but what they have on their backs. Pro? gress has been made towards systematiz? ing a relief organization. The people are further demoralized by the prea.ching of a foolish Greek priest, who warns them all to flee as the island is about to be completely swallowed up. The arch? bishop and the governor are seeking to allay the excitement, but many are still emigrating to the mainland and to the adjacent islands. At Kallemissa a German doetor, who was in one of the houses at the time of the disaster, relates that the first warn? ing he had was seeing the dishes on the table jump up and fall on the floor. A few seconds later the walls fell out? wards. From this and similar testimony, I believe that in this district the first shock was nearly vertical, followecl im? mediately by horizontal oscillations. MURDERED FOR HIS MONEY. One Brother Murdered and the Cither Unconsciously Becomes His Avenger. A merchant of this city who has been in the Western part of the State for sev? eral days past, and just returned home yesterday, brings an account of a big sensation with which that section is stir? red up at present. The current report as he relates it, presents situations of so startling a nature as to be scarcely par? alleled in the record of modern crimes. Two horse drovers from Tennessee were proceeding through Mitchell Coun? ty, their destination being Asheville, with a drove of horses, when two of the num? ber were discovered missing from the drove since their last stopping place, some distance back. It was agreed by the drovers, who were brothers, that one of them should proceed to Asheville with the main drove; while the other should return for the purpose of recovering the strayed horses; and that they should both meet at a house which was then in sight; the one after he had sold the horses in Asheville and gotten the money I for them, and the other when he had succeeded in his search. The latter, after some days, succeeded in finding the horses and bringing them to the house where he had the appointment to meet his brother. When he inquired at the house if his brother had arrived, he was told that no such man had been seen. In accordance with a mutual agreement to await the others arrival if either reached the spot first, he explain? ed his purpose and applied for accommo? dations for the night. He was given Eermission to stay, and retired at an early our to a room to which he was shown, the door of which be took the precaution to lock before going to bed. Some time during the night he was awakened by a knocking at the door. He inquired who was there, and received tho answer, "Your brother," in a strange voice. He replied that it was not his brother's voice. He was told it made no difference; it was desired he should open the door anyway. He refused, and a threat was made to breakdown the door. He replied no more, but held his pistol, which be had before secured, in readi? ness. Several vigorous blows with an axe demolished the door, and he .discov? ered two men by a light held in the hands of a woman, who was standing behind them. Two well-aimed shots from the revolver of the Tennesseean brought down the men, one after the other. The wo? man dropped the light to seize the axe, and a third shot killed her. Recovering from the amazement into which the rapidity of these occurrences had thrown him, a horrid suspicion shot through him which was fully confirmed by the result. Obtaining a light and making an investigation of the apart? ment, he found under the bed upon which he had been sleeping the dead body of his murdered brother! He had evidently been rifled of bis money and other valuables, and these were found, upon further investigation, upon the premises.? Charlotte Oosener, April 4. A Notable Execution. St. Petersburg, April 15. All the Nihilists, except the woman Hessy Helfmann, condemned to death for connection with the Czar's assassina? tion, namely: Russakoff, Michaeloff, Kiboltzhitsch, Jeliaboff and Sophie Pie ovsky, were hanged at 10 o'clock this morning. MichaelofFs rope broke twice. Order was not disturbed. There was an immense concourse of spectators. Appeals for mercy to the Nihilists Russakoff and Michaeloff were submitted to the Czar, but he replied that the sen? tence of the court must be carried out. The condemned Nihilists were escorted from the fortress to the place of execu? tion by Cossacks and infantry with drums and fifes. Detachments of all regiments of guards stationed in St. Petersburg sur? rounded the scaffold. All the prisoners received the ministrations of priests and kissed the cross and each other. They were very firm, except Russakoff, who fainted at the last moment. ? Two brothers fell out near the Ker shaw and Fairfield line a week or two ago, and one of them, picking up a light wood knot, threw it at the other and struck him in the head. At last ac? counts the wounded man was not expect? ed to survive. They are both negroes. ? The seven leading watering places on the shore near New York took in last season, it is estimated, ?14,702,000. This is about $166,000 a day. Of tho total amount, Coney Island alone is supposed to have taken $8,775,000. For^bathing at that place people paid over $150,000. This season far more activity is expected than there was last year, and many more millions will be laid out. ? Mr. H. \V. Lawsou, for many years past the postmaster at Abbeville, died at his home in that town on Tuesday of last week. "VTOTICE TO CREDITORS.
