Noue of tho Representatives from this County bave given the people the Infor niation which we called upon them to furnish relative to the failure of tho bill to allow the votera of tbis County to pass upon the question of license or no license for the sale of spirituous liquors in An derson County. Over 1000 of the citi zens of this County asked for the right 10 vote upon the matter, but five men who were elected to serve tho people, or some of them, thwarted the wishes of the petitioners, and undertook to setilo the question by allowing the sale of liquor to continue, whether the people wauled lt or not. In other words, they constitut ed themselves masters of the people. Now, when we call on them for informa tion aa to who is responsible, they are all dumb. We waut to know, and a great many of our readcra want to know, how our delegation stood on thc subject. We bave made a general call upon them, but have secured no rcspouse. Therefore we have determined to ask each member peraonally, some questiona which -may elicit tho information we want. To begiu with, therefore, wo would like to know if Maj. Moore is lu favor of the bill or opposed to it ? Why did the Senate Committee refuse to report the bill 7 Was he present at the meeting of tue Committee, and if so, did he favor reporting the bill ? Did be tell tho Com mittee how he would voto if the bill reached the Senate ? If BO, how ? From Mr. Watson, wo would like to know how he stood. Did he go before thc Senate Committee, sud if so, in the Interest of which olde? Did any other member of the delegation go before tbe Committee ? If so, who, at what time, and on which side of the question ? From Mr. Scudday, we would like to know wby he reported the bill without recommendation? Which members of the delegation prevented a favorable report, and which favored pucb a report? From Mr. Clinkacalea, we would like to know how he elands upon tho bill, and how he voted on reporting the bill ? From Cc). Rucker, we would like to kuow how he stands upon the bill? How he voted on reporting it ? Did he go before the Senate Committee? If so, on which side? Did be meet any other member of the delegation there? If so, who, and when, and on which side did he go there? These are questiona upon tho public acts of public men. The peoplo have a right to an answer to them, and auch members as have the courage of their convlctiona ahould not beaitate to answer them. Let ua bear from you, gentlemen. TODAGCO GROWING. The Columbia Register saya : "Recently a lively intereat baa sprung .up in Spartanburg County in the cultiva tion of tobacco, and a fetter from Mr. Charles H. Carllale, of Spartanburg, to Colonel A. P. Butler atetes that a uum ? ber of citizens of that County are de sirous of engaging in tobacco growing sad If 3U~3egsfnl to ea*?b!l?h s warehouse in that city. Mr. Carlisle aaka for lb structions, directlona, seed, etc., ail of rfbich Colonel Butler will at once en deavor to provide. He will furniah pamphlets containing ina?uctlona as to the cultivation and curing of tobacco from tho seed to the salesroom. He will encourage this new field of labor and profit to the extent of hla power, and baa applied for seed, which he will distribute. The soil of a large portion of the Coun ties- of Spartanburg, York, Chester, Fairfield, Laurens. Greenville, Anderson, Flckens, Abbeville and Newberry is adapted to the growth Of the finest grades of tobacco. Tbe extra' fine article waa introduced into Spartanburg by a tramp, who enliated the interest of several cltl zens In the subject, and who remained th ero long enough to prepare thc ground and prove bia theories by hts works. To bacco will soon be one of the leading Articles of cultivation ls this Slate." The cultivation of tobacco constitutes th? chief industry cf a !?rgs flour inning portion of North Carolina, and 11 o believe that it could he msde an equaily profitable crop in this State. The tobacco growing accHons of North Carolina moke very little cotton, if any ?tall, and yet they abound in an increas ing prosperity and thrift. If this crop should be introduced into this section Of South Carolin^ it would supplement the cotton crop sid, give to our planter? the two most profitable iso ney cropi. in the world. The cotton would give money in th? Fall abd Winter, while the tobacco would bring money in the 8pitog ?nd Sommer. It la a cheaper crop to.raise than cotton, and yiold* more in money value to the acre. We can grow here cotton, corn, wheat, oats, barley, rye, tobacco, and an endless variety of fruits and vegetables. If we would quit plant ing so much cotton and Wgln the culture of tobacco,, and Increase our caro of tho orchard and garden, together with ihe c?renla, thia would be the most, int'.cpon? dent atid the most prosperous country in Ibo world. ? It is true there is no market for tho leaf tobacco here, nt this time, but warehouses and factories, would be established na soon no tho culturo of. tobacco is begun aa one of the industries ?f this country. We would like to ace a movement begun in the direction, of tobacco culture lu Anderson County. Any cf our planters who would like to try rats!og tobacco upon a email scale, to test ita profitableness,', can be supplied with seed by applying to Col. A. F. But ler, Comtoltsioner of Agriculture, Cp. lumbla, 8. CV Wo hope that very many of our people will try a tobacco patch i&ls'ycar, preparuloiry lo planting moro extensively next season, ; if the cul .ure , promises the profitable return for which ' fia advocates, .hope, \t Me.

It fixes tbe rate of faro on railroads for passengers at tbree cents per mile, and prohibits discrimination in freights. It provides for no Commission, but imposes heavy penalties for the vio talion of its provisions. The purposes of the bill aro good, and undoubtedly much good will be accomplished by tbe bill, should it become a law. It may at tbe tame timo prove disastrous to the rail roads in many sections of the Uuion, and thereby injure the people of tho u sections. The more prosperous roads will uot be unreasonably interfered with by the bill, but it may work disaster to the roads in the less populous States. We fear the bill bas not sufficient dis crimination in its classification of rail roads. Its provisions which affect pas sage and freight rates between different points in the same State are, in our opin ion, in conflict with the Constitution and theory of our government. The general government bas no right to interfere in ibo internal policy of any State. The bill lias not yet passed the Senate, aud we apprehend that owing to the short lime remaining before the fourth of March, it will scarcely bo brought to a final vote in that body. Tile Newberry Observer, replying to tho INTELLIGENCER of two weeks ago, ?sys: The INTELLIGENCER seems determined to believe the Observer, cherishes malice towards it. We shall not further attempt to convince it to the contrary. J .et that tass, and let us see what there is iu the NTELLIGENCER'H argument about "local politicians", "local feeling" and "local papers". Did it never occur to tbe IN TELLIGENCEE that the very fact that the "County politicians who come from Counties with opposing colleges" oppose free tuition in the South Carolina College, is tbs atrongeat evidence that free tuition ia wrong and an injustice to the "local" colleges? They are in a position to see how free tuition in the South Carolina College injuree tbe "local" collegee They seo that it deprives them of stu denta they would otherwise get-ninden ts able to pay tuition-and thus lessens their incomo and their efficiency. If tho "free tuition" feature 'u the State's college docs not lersen ti paying patronage of the "local" colley, why is it that tbe representatives of localities having col leges aro almost to a man opposed to free tuition ? The INTELLIGENCER speaks of the "local" colleges os "opposing colleges" - perhaps inadvertently-as if they were the actors in the opposition existing be tween the State's college and the other colleges. Tbe opposition comes from the State institution. The Observer's objection to tho South Carolina College is now and bas always been confined to opposition to its "free tuition", which gives it an unfair advan tage over the otb er inatitutions of similar grade. Require tuition of pupils who are able to pay, and the Observer und tbe "local politicians" will be satisfied. Tho Observer is becoming more reason able, and there ia yet a possibility of it and the INTELLIGENCER agreeing upon Butne of the questions touching the Uni versify. We answer our contemporary question, that it never did occur to the INTELLIGENCER that the fact that Coun ty politicians who come from Counties with oppoaing colleges oppose free tuition in the South Carolina University is the strongest evidence that free tuition in the South Carolina University ia wrong, and an injustice to the local colleges. It is no more evidence ot such a thing than the fact that one Behool teacher in a town might oppose thc opening of an other school iu tho same town would be au evidence that nuch new school would be wrong and an injustice. We would say here, however, that we do uot favor free tuition in the State University. In our opinion those able to aend their sons or wards to the University should pay their tuition fees, but there should be an unlimited number of beneficiary scholar* ahips for distribution among the young mea of the State, who have not the means of defraying all their educational espcn ccu. If those who have heretofore made their fight upon the South Carolina Uni? veraity would cease their opposition to tho University and a proper appropria tion to it, aud introduce a bill to require the payment of tuition fees by those who are able to do so, they would find very aaasy sf these who are stroag fdends ol the University agreeing with them. We WwUid iv.thcr have the University aa lt is than noue at all, but we would at the Bair o time rather see the standard raised and a higher grade institution establish ed. We do not mean by this to,criticise the present institution, for wo think it bas mads very satisfactory progress, bot wo want the good work carried on until lt is the peer of the University of Vir*' tinta, of Yale, pr of, Johns Hopkins University. The Observer and the IN TELLIGENCER, are nearer together than any reader could have imagined at t,? beginning of the present controversy, if our contemporary had begun as be bas wound up, there would have been no battle with pens between us. ' A DILEMMA. ? Our neighbors In Greenville are sorely troubled to' know whether to give the 3reenville and Laurens Railroad to the Midiand Railroad or to tbs Augusta and Knoxville. "One of the People," writing n the Greenville News, saya : "The one (the Augusta and Knoxville, sith the great Central system behind it,) s a live corporation in successful opera Jon; with the inclination and ample neons to take us.in. The other (the didjand) bas no. organisation, no road, io money. It is rumored that the Aa puta ana Knoxville proposes to lay . the ron on'the track end put trains on In ilnety ddysv . . . "Greenville people cannot afford .,to volt to see whether the 'Midland' ia really to be built. They moat have com Mtitlon in fielgbt relies and be placed ipon an equality withjtheir neighbors at bo earliest possible moment, and cor (utily before thc next crop io ready; to io marketed, or Laurens, Spartanburg md possibly Anderson will Uko .?largo tart of tbe trade that legitimately bo to us. If the Midland shoJd rllf be without compttftloti lo freights, 1er trade will seek other point* where ;oods can be sold cheaper and abe Will a a consequence eufftr Irreparable In* ?ry.

It has just obtained a charter. Tin.- question, then, comes to the pressing necessities of Greenville as a business centre. Can these be postponed to meet the solicitations of the Midland Ituad, sud, if so, how long will it take to givo the outlet so necessary to Greenville? Thcro can be no two opinions us to tho nbsolute necessity to Green ville of placing herself alongside of her neighbors, and securing competition in freight ratet*. Her life depends upon it. Nobody acquainted with the facts can resist thin position. Yet, witb al) this nduiitted,if Charles ton is really and tiuly behind this Mid land scheme, und it is not u wile and a delusion, wlmt ?a there to require two or threo years to fill the gap between Co lumbia and Laurena? The air liue dis tance from ('olumbin to Laurens, accord ing to the Post Route Map uf South Carolina and Georgia, is 56 mile?. There need not be an enhancement of a milo of this distance to follow thc best road bed possible fiotn Columbia to Newberry, and thence lo Laurens, via. Kinuru's Turu Out, we find an entirely practica ble route. Cull the whole line 00 miles, ind why it can't he finished and ready to go to work in six mouths from date of consolidation, it is hatd to see, and why this link should cost one cent over $720, OOO laid with steel rail, such tm tho Car olina Central is laid with, we do not *ee. The stock and debt of the above road is given in the Railroad Commissioner's re port at 911,760 per mile. The same work could be done to day nt 20 per cent, less cost, or at $10,400, leaving a margin of $l,GlvJ per mile on the above estimate of $720,000. If, then, the connection with Charleston is preferable, and Charleston wants it and is willing lo put her shoulder to it, there need be no damiging delay. As to the question touching the prob ability that tue Midland Road will ever be built, "One of the Peoplo" tells us: "It is rumored here, upou what author ity I do not know, tbat when Mr. Courte nay was iu Greenville last week in the interest of the projected road he stated that Charleston would contribute ( 150, 000 towards the building of it." If Mr. Courtenay made any such state ment, it was tantamount to saying that Chariest i would have nothing whatever to do wi- the scheme and to put the Greenville people on fair notice that he was not there in the interest of Charles ton. As to tho speculation, whether Courtenay went to Greenville in the in terest or at tlie instnnco of the Clyde combination, either immediately or re motely, or was interested in the Midlaud Road in any other way than as an inde pendent Carolina Bystem, it con be best determined by putting the question to him squarely. Should be refuse to an swer, that would be answer ouoogh for Greenville? Should be give any other but a square, unqualified reply, that would be the same. In which event, it should tnko tho Greenville people just about one minute by the watch to know what they ought to do. And there is the end of th* whole matter. Courtenay at tho bead of a great independent competitive Carolina system would be a very valuable man. Courtenay in the lead of a Clyde movement across the path of a compe titive connection sought by Greenville and Laurens, to the extent of shoulder ing the new road they are now building, would bo a very dangerous man. Greenville ii entitled to know at once what interest Charleston feels in the new route, what she is prepared to contribute to it, and whether she is prepared to put ber shoulder to the wheel in the grand push through the mountains for a sub stantial Western connection which shall give ?B a controlling Carolina line to the West. This assurance, given in good faith, and upon the full and open recog nition of the people of the city, the delsy asked may be then determined upon by the parties at interest. Columbia Seminary-Who Is Intolerant ? PELZER, S. C., Jan. 9,1885. Editor Anderten Intelligencer: In an article signed "D. E. F." in your issue of the 8th inst., allusion is made to me as one who was a member of the late Synod at Greenville. This ir an error. I have never been a member of any Church court. I am not eligible, holding no official positiou in the Church, and "D. E. F." should know his co Presbyters better. I believe the Synod of South Carolina waa more tolerant than either of the others, doubtless owing to the fact that a large minority was ably defending Dr. Woodrow and the Church from the intol erance of the majority, but "the spirit of intolerance it baa been found impossible to check" has been manifested by the portions assumed by the anti-evolution Church papers, one shouting Darwin whenevor it heard Woodrow, and another, ?am Informed, severely criticising Dr. Woodrow before the "Editor had read bis address. This spirit was also shown in our various Church courts, when men who knew nothing of Evolution three momba before, (and others, and dozens of them,) who voted without having read a line of Dr. Woodrow's address, and without any knowledge or information on the subject. The apirit of intolerance waa shown in the Synod of Georgia, in refusing to allow Dr. Woodrow the time to apeak In ; io ejecting a director of the Seminary from his seat as a member of the board, because he would not promise to obey the intolerant apirit of that Sy nod ; add in following the example of our own Synod, in taking up a man, and trying and condemning him, and decapi tating him without the forma of a regular proceeding and the privileges which were hia right. If I am not miataken "D. E. F," was one of the late Board of Directora of the Seminary, elected oh purpote to condemn, which refused the just demanda of tho accused foi a trial, which invited him to ?how cause, Ac., but limited bim as to time, and which sheared bim of tba usu al privileges extended to most criminals ; then expelled him from office with arbi trary pawer. Ia it now for him to talk about intolerance? What would the Church call it but Intolerance, if science, backed by the power of the State, were to say to a minister In a scientific school you shall not Inculcate christianity? "J, Baa understand tho wish of the majority to avoid all discussion, and to Jet the ?attar drop. Thia, however, w!U not do. Xuo Church baa been panic stricken, led away by its fears, and aisled by gros? and KMjtmnmote misrepresentation. A change .tiling has already began, and will ?lonly but surely spread. Those of the minority, who Hbo myself prizo highly their birthright in the Presbyterian Church, must posaesa their ao?t? in pa Hence and wait, mortified though they nay bf, at tho unfortunate position of ;btt Church. It may be months, lt may ? even years, but as certain aa the day. luccecda the uighr, tho Church will bo ?et right, and under< ouch young men as 3fa?pblll, Bogg*. Dante), Blacket, Mar- ' io, Fli?D, Morris, McKay, Glieby, . 3ro?tohco?a,?K^ under more liberal circumstances, and clearer light, she will yet staud foremost in extending cordial encouragement to all legitimate subjects of scientific re search. I thank you, Mr. Editor, for your courtesy. I lind no intention of provok ing a newspaper controversy ; I have no time to spare for tiuch purpose", but tho immense importance of the subject, and tho injustice done tho Church, and the man, lead me to ?peak and to write. ELLISON A. SMYTH. A Story of Greenville Couuty at the Cloke of thc Civil War. STONE HOUSE, GREENVILLE COUNTY, January 2.-Much excitement was caused io this neighborhood recently by the supposed discovery of a long lost treasure which wan buried at the close of the war to keep it from the raiders. Col. Joseph Choice at the close of the wpr heard tlint a gnu? of the marauders was spread terror and devastation in the upper part of tho county, and as be owned much valuable stock bc had bis servants to hide them in the thick awamps and hollows around the foot of l'aria Mountain, while he carried off bia mon ey and valuable papero, &c. On bis re turn he remarked that he had bidden bis treasures where the sharpejWYankce rogue in the army could npjjajBsy^tbem, hut did Mdt nay where. 'Mfi^f'" Three or four daya4 no raiders were heard of, and^Col. Choice' decided to have his Btoca brought back home. This he did, and the next day, while he was eating dinner, the servants came rushing in', saying: "O, master, the lot it lull of "Yan kees, and they are going tn ?teal your mare." Od. Choice jumped up from the table, grabbed his riflo and rushed out in the back piazza just in time to ?ee the raid ers putting the Baddie cn this favorite mare of his. He commanded them to stop or be would nhoot the first man that attempted lo steal bis mare. No attention was paid to him, but in stead one of them mounted bis mare and started off. No sooner did be start than Col. Choice took deliberate aim and fired. The rider was killed instantly. As soon as the raiders realized th.; Muta tion they all turned their wenpons on Col. Choice and fired. When the echo died away a headless corpse was stretched out on the floor-all that remained of j Col. Choice. The gang forbade any of the family to move his body at thc peril of their lives, and after committing all the indignities they could they rode off to Capt. Wm. Choice's and told him that they bad killed bis "d-d -of a brother." Since the death of Col. Joseph Choice many bunted for his bidden gold but without success. Tho other day a negro while cutting wood noticed a pile of fresh dirt, and as it had been thrown up since the day before, he was curious to know wlint H meant. On examiuiug the bole closely he found that a square box bad been tnken from it, while on the ground around were pieces of fine china, isinglass, button- and small pieces of a walnut box. He informed bis employer about it, and as be knew of this story about this hidden gold he at once came tn the conclusion that some one had found tbe treasure. It is supposed that some one caw Col. Cnoice when be buried it and has waited till now in hopes of it being forgotten. It ts carefully estimated that tue finder did not get less than ^o,000 in gold besides other valuables.-From a letter to the Greenville News. Au Interesting Operation. ? reporter for the Charleston Sunday New? witnessed yesterday a practical administration of the new aarcslbetic cocain. The success of cocain as an anaesthetic has been satisfactorily deinou atrated, and that ita use in certain opera tions possesses advantages over all other ahreUbetic* is shown by its almost uni versal adoption among the medical fra ternity. The operation in which it was used yesterday was ibo extraction of a cataract from tbe eye of a little colored boy niue years old. It was performed by one of the City Dispensary physiciana. About fifteen minutes before the com mencement of the operation three drops of a two per cent, aol ut ion of the muriate of cociau were placed in the eye. This application was repeated five times at intervals of three minutes until the eve had become completely insensible to the touch. Tho patient was then told to lie down on a table and the operation was proceeded with. During the first stage, which consists in making an incision in the cornea and cutting what is known as the flap, the little fellow did uot move or give the slightest indication of ft el i og the delicate little steel blade. It was not until making the iridectomy or cutting out a section of the iris, that be com plained of a little pain. A floe delicate steel book was next used to break up' the capsule of tbs lana and ibo cataract was treated by means of a little pressufj upon the cornea. After the eye bad been care fully bandaged so as to exclude the light from it, tho boy got up and walked home as unconcernedly as if nothing had hep Eened, whereas if chloroform or ether ad been administered it would have been necessary for bim to have been put to bed immediately and have staid there until the Ul effects bad psssed off, which usually takes at least two days. The reason cocain comes in so conveniently for eye operations Is that it has no effect whatsoever except upon the part to which lt ia applied, while most of tho other snoithetica produce vomiting and parox ysms, during which it is only with tb .* greatest care that the contents of the et. o are prevented from being forced ont through the incision and the eye irre trievably lost to the patient. The Bank of Augusta Makes an As signment. Yesterday morning quite a sensation was created in the city by. a notice on the door of the Bank of Augusta, which read : "Closed by order or the Board of Directors." . The new.? was soon the sub ject of discussion on the street corners sud in counting rooms, end rumors were numerous mid varied. It. was learned thst an assigument had been made, in which the depositors were preferred, and as It was claimed the amount realised on assets would folly cover th? amount of deposits, the fears of depositors were considerably allayed. The bank was a Stp.to bank, chartered many years ago. Its capital stock has been several times reduced, and two years ago was reduced from $250,000 to $150,000. The Chronicle interviewed Messrs. Harper & Bro., the assignees, and in re sponse to a question as to tho cause of the suspension, they replied : **To state the matter io a nutshell, the failure waa caused by the entire exhaustion of the capital stock. The capital waa ?160,000, President W. 8. Roberts had borrowed $10,000 and Mc. A. J. Twigg?,Pr?sidant of the Georgetown and Lanai Railroad had borrowed $180,000; that aa collater al tho bank held $290,000 of bonds of the Georgetown r-d bines Railroad of South Carolina, upon -vhlch they Irire unable to realize, and they had nothing upon which to proceed."-Chronicle and Ctm?titutional?4t. 10M. - On tho ?th instant, the Stewards (or part of them) of the Chesterfield circuit met in the Methodist church at Chester field to determine whether they would accept tho preacher whom the Annual Conference bad sent to preach to tbe wople of ChesterfieldI circuit.

A correspondent of the Xeva and Cou rier, writing from Baltimore under date of January 5, says : Through the happy medium of your paper, the people of South Caroline, ami indeed of the neighboring States, will be glad to learn that this morning Judge Aldrich and his wife left here for South Carolina with happy hearts. Three weeks ago Judge Aldrich put himself under the treatment of South Carolina's able son, Prof. Frank T. Miles, M. D., a specialist in nervous <li-r:w .>, for neural gia of the face, from which he had been Bullering for some eighteen months, until the excruciating paroxysms became unendurable. Prof. Miles, than whom there is no better authority upon nervous diseases itt the Tinted States, BOOH found that only tLe knife could give relief, and at his instauce and under bia supervision Prof. L. McLaoe Tiffany, M. D.f with prover bial Hkill, laid bare the offeudiog nerve and resected about one and a half inches of it. In the words of Judge Aldrich, from tho moment the tther took effect until the surgeon dismitued the case he had not liad a twinge of pain and very slight soreness from the healing wound. There is every case for both thehopeand belief that the operation bas been so thorough and skilful that the relief will be permanent. The ease is considered a peculiar one, and the medical fraternity may hear of it Jater though the medical journals. The > cause of pain was thought to be from the ?jj arge me nt uti the nerve just where it "passed through the bone of the free, thus causing unnatural contraction of tho nerve, and consequently, excruciating agony, the paroxysms being caused by tho nerve's relieving itself by exhaustion after each paroxysm. Cleveland and bli* Cabinet. WASHINGTON, January 9.-A rumor has been floating around the Senate Chamber for several days past to the effect that Senator Bayard does not desire to go into Mr. Cleveland's Cabinet, but is using whatever influence he may have to secure a Cabinet appointment for Senator Pendleton, of Ohio. Senator Bayard refused to either confirm or deny the ru mor. An intimate friend of the Dela ware Senator, stated to your correspon dent that he felt very certain that Mr. Bayard is contented to remain in the Senate. AB a Cabinet officer, his official and social duties would be far more great er than those required of a Senator; besides he is now considered the Demo cratic leader in the Senate, which posi tion gives him greater prominence than be could obtain as the bead of an execu tive department. It is well known that Seuator Pendle ton would accept with pleasure an invi tation to cross his legs under the Cabinet table. Seuator Jonas, of Louisiana, would alBo be pleased to have the privi lege of riding to the White House regu larly every Tuesday aud Friday as cns todian of a Cabinet portfolio. Boll Senators Pendleton and Jonas will prob ably be provided for by the Cleveiant Administration ; but there is no certainty that they will be given Cabinet positions A majority of the New England Cabinet makers agree that Mr. W. C. Whitney of New York, is to be the next secretar of ?he treasury. The Woman Candidate. WASHINGTON, January 12.-Mrs. Bel va Ann Lockwood in her petition pre Rented in the Senate Ibis morning nsk that the votes cast for her in New York New Hampshire, indiana, Iowa, Michi gan, Illinois, Maryland and California b counted, and that the electoral vote o Indiana be given to her. Sho Chargen that votes cast for he were "fraudulently and illegally cour ted for the alleged majority candi date, the same being antagonist! to the letter and spirit of the law an subversive of every principle of equit and injustice." She also asks that th Renate refuse to receive the electors returns of the State of New York, t count them for the alleged majorit candidate, "for if the 1,336 votes wbic were polled in said State for your pet tioner hod been counted for her, and nt for one Grover Cleveland, he would nt have been awarded the majority of a the YO'ci cast at said election in sai State." Her reason for asking that tb electoral vote of Indiana be cast for he she says, is "that after the Elector! College of that State had cast its vol for the aforesaid Grover Cleveland, changed its mind, as it had a legal rigl to, and did cast its united ballot for yoi petitioner." Another Cyclone. RALEIGH, N. C., January 8.-Ne? bas just been received here of a terrib Sale in Sampson County, fifteen mil rom Clinton. John Jackson's bouse wi leveled to the ground.

Gov. Hourn, of Rhode Island, puts bis foot down in his moesage upon the Philadelphia and New York people who are temporarily abiding in that State for the purpose of securing divorces. In ten years 2,884 applications for divorce havo been made in Rhode Island and 2,285 granted. This shows too much domestic infelicity for such a small State. The Governor wants the laws amended BO that none but bona fido residents will be able to use the divorce courts. Gov. Hoadly, of Ohio, in his message calls at tention to the increase of divorces in that State and insists upou tho amendment of the tax laws. - Tbere are fifteen Senators to be elected in the next tbirty days, with two cbanges coming in favor of tho Republi cans and one doubtful case, tbat of Illi nois, where they may lose. Farley, of j California, and Slater, of Oregon, will be succeeded by Republicans ; tbe former probably by ex minister Sargent and the latter by George H. Williams or John H. Mitchell, Jones, of Nevada, will try to get another term and so will Hill, of Colorado, but in the latter case the op posing candidates are many and the issue ia doubtful. Ingalls, of Kansas, will {irobably be elected aa will Cameron, of 'ennsylvania, and Platt, of Kentucky, while Wisconsin will have a contest with Angus Cameron refusing to run. ~r The growu-up Mormons areexceed ingly bard to convert to anything like orthodox Christianity. But the teachers and missionaries who are trying to evan gelize Utah are at work on ibe children, who are plenty io tbat country. Seventy one school buildings have been built at a cost of nearly $300,000, and a dozen or more schools are held in rented bus ings. Tbere are about 7,500 Mormon children under anti-Mormon instruction, and they are said io make good scholars. - From a Bingle grain of wheat plant ed iu 1881, nays the Grass Valley (Cal.) Record, grew twenty-two stalks, each bearing a full head. These yielded 860 grains, 760 of which were planted the nextyear, producing one-fifth of a bushel of [splendid wheat. This was planted last Spring, yiolding seventeen bushels, making 1,020 pounds of wheat from one grain in three years. - The last few weeks have furnished some examples of the pleasures of life in the West. In one instance the frozen bodies of fourteen men were found ; in another seven, and in another case a vehicle waa drawn up by a weary horso to a railway atation, the two riders sit ting bolt upright, frozen dead. - A new clock has been invented and coming into use in Europe, which is war ranted by its manufacturers io run fur five years without either winding or reg ulation. The Belgian Government placed one in a railroad station in 1881, sealed with the Government seal, and it bas kept perfect time ever nineo. - The fire losses in the United States for tbe last year are estimated at $126, 000,000.
