E. BT MUBBAY, Editor. TBDB8DAT. APRIL 10, 188?. TB RMS t OK S t'?Afi.. ............?1.80. 8 IX M0NTHB. T?c. Two Dollar? If not jmld lu advance. Tho killing of Geu. Barrios has about settled the Ceutrai American troubles. Secretary of tho Navy Whitney hat an excellent opportunity of showing how vigorously he could handle our miscrablo little Navy without getting any person hurt. Thc new administration which finds almost no navy, will, we predict, leave the country au elf?cient and well equipped marine. The Central Ameri can trouble BIIOWS how, at any moment, the dignity of the United States aud the aafety of the Uvea and property of her citizens, may requiro an efficient navy. This is a business like administration, and wiii doubtless provide what is needed in this direction. Au Iowa correspondent of Bradstreet's Commercial Agency, writes that in an experience of thirty years he has never known of a mortgage upon a dairy farm being foreclosed. Thia obaervation will doubtless meet with corroborativo expe rience In all sections of the country, and yet through the South very few persons have taken any interest in, or devoted any attention to, dairy farming. No such prosperity bas attended cotton farming, for every year thousands of j cotton farms are sold under mortgage for debt in the South, and yet our people stick to cot* o ti and refuse to engage in tho more lucrativo employment of di versified agriculture, by means of which they could live moro comfortably nnd make moro money. Affairs between England and Russia have apparently reached the end of di plomatic correspondence. The Russian army on the Afghan frontier hos, under the command of Cen. Komaroff, mot and routed the forces of the Ameer at Penjdeb, and the British government bas submitted what appears to be ita ulti matum, in which the English govern ment demands that Gen. Komaroff be deposed from tho command, and that the Russian army be withdrawn from Afghan frontier. This tho Russian war depart ment has refused to'.do, and nt the same time bas commended Gen. Komaroff; and congratulated the troops under bim. Tho Czar says that his troops may ad vance but will never retire, and the war feeling ia at fever heat in Russia. It now appears certain that England must recede from her demands or there will be war. PREPARED TO DE INDEPENDENT. In the event of war between England and Russia the Southern farmer who is ?o Improvident as to fail to raise his own supplies upon his farm, will experience a financial stringency to which tho evils resulting from drought will have been comparativa prosperity. The result of | such a war will inevitably ran corn, Hour and meat up to the highest pri ces, for lt will take from the European markets immense quantities of grain which is annually marketed from the English and Russian Territories, and thus create s dsmsnd and speculation IQ proviaiono which will make them high during the continuation of the conflict, and for a season after it is over. This of course moana that tho man who has to buy provisions will have to- pay con siderably more for them, and aa a conse quence tho farmer who has them to sell will experience an increased prosperity. This is ono effect the war will have, but unfortunately for the South wa will not derive an? benefit'from this increased prosperity which our Northern and Western friends will experience, but on tba contrary we will find it a great drain to meet the increased cost of living, if | our people do not recognize the impend ing dangar and prepare in time to avert it, The people of the South ought, ia common prudence, to make corn and peas enough this year to feed their stock and fatten their meat, for it ii always profitable, to do this, rind it will ba par ticularly so at thia juncture, : Tba increased cost of provisions, how ever, is not the only point in which war will affect tho South disastrously. It will diminish to a great extent tba for eign demand for cotton, and thereby re duce ita value in the markets, by reason | of which tho Southern planter who now finds lt difficult to tnako the expanses of producing wmewithin the selling price of cotton, will bo a loser In proportion to the amount of cotton he produces. Tho more ? man makes the morobe will.-loee/ if tba selling price goes below the cost of production, is a -proposition' which every ono will admlVimtncdiately . and yet with tho prospect of au European war there oin bc no doubj. that the already low price of cotton will be fur . thor reduced until it will sell perhaps aa low as six; to seven cents per pound. At them prices ita cost will exceed the price for which l? will sell: The part of pra> dence suggests that in the present emer gency lt"would be. decidedly best for j eycry Southern planter to make enough corn 'to supply hh'family and stock, raise; hts'own t?eat and prepare to bo independent ot tho market for . hie pro visions. After doing this, it will do to make ns much cotton as a man's means will permit, for he can afford to hold it, If ne?cas^y? until prices beco?po bettor, j If the peopleof tho Sooth wo^d pursue ] ^policy, a war in Surope would ulti ma'telyprove beneficial to its, for after e War a reaction will follow which would reverse tho condition pf affairs. Tho grain cyopis of ?? rope Would be re ijjore4 and provisions would tumble in 'price, while the dora&nd, for co* ton would bo restored and greatly increased eo that tho price of coitos would be advanced. H?rice if ?be ?anih would parece ?ow a policy which would prelect us at presea t hy Risking our avn ??pp?i?si, there would be p&scRt competence z^? futur* pros perity in atoro for us.

Mr. Charlea H. Wella, writing from Greenville to the News and Courier upon tho railroad development, in North and South Carolina, propos?e to give a relia ble and Tull presentation of the projected railroad interprises in the two States, and says : The condition of railroad affairs in thc CaroliiiB9 just at present is causing considerable comment amongst those Northern capitalists who are Interested in Southern industrial development. So little accurate information has been given through tho public press concerning what has actually been douo toward building new lines of railroad in North and South Carolina that a brief and reliable resume will bo read with interest. There are thirteen important lines ur?w under consideration by the Carolin! ?ow, all of which have been chartered. They aro (1) tho Charleston, Cumberland Gap and Chicago ; (2) the Midland Kail road of South Carolina ; (3) tho Green wood, Laurens and Spartanburg ; (4) the Seaboard Air Lino extension ; (fi) the Shelby and Iiroad River Railroad ; (0) the Denver and Mount Holly; (7) tho Greenville and Luurena ; (8) the Ashe ville and Spartauburg ; (9) tho Onslow, Wilmington and East Carolina; (10) the Shelby and Spartanburg; (ll) the Western North Carolina extension ; (12) the Gaffney City, Rutberfordton and Marion Railroad, and (13) the Palmetto Railroad. In addition to these there are scores of Bmall "spurs," "branches" and "cuts-off" to bo built; one only is of importance a new short cut to Fayetteville, N. C., by tho Seaboard Air Line. Work on the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Yailroad from Greensboro' to Mount Airy, N. C., has been BO steadily carried ou for the 1>ast year that Ibis extension can hardly >e classed among the new roads now under consideration. Mr. Wells then goes on to outline these enterprises, and gives roseate views of their prospects for completion, but in all of hie article which professes to bo written for tho purpose of enlightening the ignorance now existing in this State upon the subject of our railroad enter prises, ho fails to mention or refer to the Savannah Valley Railroad, which now has about fifty miles of graded road, and enough money in hand to complete the work of grading the entiro length of the road, a distance of fifty-five miles, and runs through a prosperous, but as yet, undeveloped territory. At this rate we are inclined to think Mr. Wells is not so xcell posted in the railroad enterprises of the State after nil. The Savannah Val ley is nu assured fact, while many of tho enterprises of which Mr. Wells writes exist only on paper, and will never be transferred to the ground. Several of them have not one dollar of capital, nor have they even a right of wny, nor have they ever been surveyed. It all does very well to puff up desired roads, evcu though they are improbable of construc tion, but it is bad policy if be really wishes to advertise the development of the Stave to leave out roads which are dag In the eartb, instead of being simply outlined on paper. MOUE NEEDED THAN SOFT WORDS. The Prince and Princess of Wales are not accomplishing tho pacification of Ireland by their visit to that country as rapidly or as effectually as waa at first anticipated. They aroused hostility in Dublin, by failing to invite tho Lord Mayor of that city and other prominent Nationalists to their reception, and the authorities of that city are in a rage over what they consider tho Blight. When the royal party loft Dublin, on their arrival at Mallow junction, County [ Cork, en route to tho residence of tho Earl of Listowell at Counamore, there was a terriblo row. A large crowd broke through the police lines and wore driven back at the point of tho bayonet. ? O'Brien and Harrington, Irish members of Parliament, were in the orowd and were badly mauled. Ever aluce the riot the Governmont has monopolized the telegraph wires and no further details are obtainable. The news of the disturbance caused latense excitement in the House of Commons, The windows and doors of the houaes which bad been decorated in honor nf ?he Prince of Wales were smashed and crowds of Irishmen roamed through tho streets all night, cheering O'Connor, O'Brien and Parnell and sing lag "God Bave Ireland." Prior to the arrival of the Prince of Wales, members of the crowd kicked and punched a lol of cooked hats wbleh they used to sym bolize, royalty. When the rush was made toward the Prince it was lcd by O'Brien, M. P., for Mallow. Somo of the rabble were severely 1 sj tired by the police while repelling thlt rush. The only members of Parliament present were O'Brien, O'Connor, and Harrington, member of Parliament for Westmeath and secretary of tho Irish League. The principal organiser of the demon stration against the Prince of Wales, waa Wm. O'Brien, M. P.,editor of the United Ireland. In ad interview he said : "My object ls accomplished. I have shown tho special reporters who accompany the Printe of Wales the true Irish view of his visit, and X have vindicated Ireland's r?ame.*' * John O'Connor, M. P., for. Tri'pperery, made an inflammatory speech at a mat ing of tho Irish National League in Cork. He urged the men of Cork to rebel against tho English Government. "Your bretbron in Mallow have already done so," bo asid? "?nd the first shot was fired to-Uay.. I havo just returned from j Mallow, where I saw Irishmen reeking I with blood ! from bayonet wounds.

Tbe meeting of tbc .South Carolina L'resbytery, just held in Lancaster, waa \n occasion of more than usual interest ind importance. During its seaaion on the 13th instant, Centennial ceremonies were held at tho oh! Waxbaw Church according to previous notice given. Here it wa?, one hundred year? ago, that Lhc first Presbytery of tho Presbyterian Church of South Carolina was organized. 1'he Kev. Jos. H. Tho -well, a son of Lhe distinguished Dr. Thornwcll, deliver ed the Centennial sermon, which was 8 good argument for home m'usions, bring ing out especially the work done in upper South Carolina by the old Waxhaw Uhurcb. Tho house was full to over llowiug, there being prosent about eight hundred persons. Tho rite of tho Lord's .Supper was celebrated, the Kev. R. M. Kirkpatrick officiating, lt was a matter of much regret that the Rev. J. H. Sayo, the oldest minister of this Presbytery, wm not able to attend to read the histor ical sketch, according to appointment, but this duty was performed by the Rev. R. M. Kirkpatrick, who wns called upon without previous notice. The l'resbytery adjourned on the following day, and will hold its next session at Bethesda Church, in York County. A SOUTH CAROLINA CARICATURIST. Tho Columbia correspondent of the Neut? and Courier says : "It is pleasant to observe that the last two numbers of Harper? Weekly have contained cartoons drawn by C. A. David of this State. Mr. David lives in Creen ville, where he is uow engaged, I believe, in commercial business. Ho bas been drawing cartoon? for tho last four or five years, mainly to entertain his fellow-citi zens. I remember very well n caricaturo which three summers ago he based on a certain "midnight rendezvous" of mine with McDow, tho moonshiner, in tho Blue Ridge tunnel. Tho execution was rough and tho likeness of the interview er rather idealized, but the drawing was bold and tho point quito Malien?. Binee thou ho has improved greatly and his work, as the Harper sketches show, is yielding him distinction. Even throe who have boon pricked by Mr. David's pencil will he glad to know that a self taught South Carolina artUt ls making his way upward." Mr. David bas a talent for (.'rawing caricatures which is destined to bring him fame and fortuno if he cultivates it. Wo congratulate bim on his ventures in Harper, and hope to seo him become tepidly prominent before the country. His talent gives him no little power in painting his side of any public question beforo tho people, and we aro eatisficd that through it he may become a potent factor for tho advancement of the views and interests of bis section of the country. The Greenville News thinks Governor Thompson's action in refusing to leave the appointment of a Clerk of Court to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of Gen. Nicholson to a primary election in Edgefield County was not well founded in reason, and contends that all mattera of government ought to bo submitted to the people for determination. Our con temporary forgets that tho people in their highest capacity have declared otherwise in the matter which the Governor had iu band, for the people of South Carolina by their Constitution Bay that the Governor shall fill vacancies in the otBce of Clerk by appointment. That clause of the Constitution lo as binding on tho Gover nor as any other, and to h.-.vo left tbs question to an election would have been a clear violation of tho spirit of the Constitution. By refusing to de so the Governor simply carried out the obliga tions laid upon him by tiie people them selves in the Constitution of the State. The suggestion of the Newa that Edge field should enter a vigorous protest against the Governor'a action by sending a delegation to tho next State Convention to vote against his nomination is uncalled for, and will hardly find any endorse* mont in the Bturdy old Democracy of Edgefield, which, though lt may differ from the views entertained by tbe Gov* eraor, will cot fail to admire the firm manner in which he has adhered to what be conceived to bo his duty. If Gover nor Thompson wants tb be Governor again wo predict that be will easily suc ceed himself, and in giving him another term tho State will be assured of a pru dent, conservative and wise administra* tion of the affaira of the State. Tba Greenville Newt, arcing the Di rectors of the Greenville Sc Laurens Railroad to proceed at once to Laurens without waiting for tho Midland, takes occasion to maka a fling at two enter prises, in one of which, at least, he is in error. The New? says : . Lot those who do such talking.remem ber that the Savannah Valley Road has bees graded in spots and waiting for Charleston for three years. The people of Piokens and Anderson may look sadly at the piles of dirt and deep ditches that represent their money, but they cannot move a peg to get their money back or maka it ox usa to them. . AB to tho Savannah Valley our friend ia entirely mistaken. The work bas not been dona in spots, and It baa never delayed one second waiting on Charlea* ton, or In expecting any favors from the city with which we would prefer to con* nect because it ia tho metropolis of our State. The people of Anderson may do ?orno inconsiderate things, hut they will never commit the folly of wailing one minute an Charleston for a railroad sub eeription. The Savannah Valley Road la nott about graded, and the work bas bcou dode entirely by1 tho contributions of points along the line, Anderson having given over one-half of the whola cum necessary to do this work. Oar people are Battened with ibo situation. It, baa taken a considerable Urna, it ls trae, but success ia now assured, ir Greenville ia aa well satisfied with tba condition of her enterprise, everything should bo lovely bet ween the two cities.

Thc following accouut of a teat of thc butter capacity of a Jersey cow, made by the Americar* Jersey Cattle Club of New York, will bo received with wouder by persons who bave uot given seme atten tion lo the butler producing qualities of the liner strains of Jersey cow?. The article in taken from the Jrrtnj Bulletin, of Indianapolis, and is directed to Johu I. Holly, President of the Club, aa fol low? : DKAII Slit-Having been appointed hy you to Hoi a* committee of the Amer ican Jen<oy Cattle Club in witnessing tho test of tho Jersey cow Princess 2d 801?), owned by Mrs. 8. M. Shoemaker of Buru ndo Park, near baltimore, Md., I respect fully submit the following report : The test brgan at 6:05 p. m. Sunday evening. Feb. 22, when the cow wm milked dry in my presence. The first milking included in tho test was that at '.i a. m., Monday, Feb. 23, after which the cow was milked at intervals of eight boure, namely, at ?5 'a. m., ll H. m., and 7 p. m., of each day until the last, Sun day evening, March 1, when she was milked at 0:U5 p. m., to correspond with the time of tho preliminary milking. The duration of the test was thus seven days, to the minute. The cow wai milked threo times a day at periods of eight hours, because her udder would not hold thc milk sho made n twelve hourH. I wa? prexetit al each of the twenty-one milkings, and did not lose sight of the milk until after it hai been placed in a nine-can Mosely cabinet creamer. The lid of this creamer, the doors and the ventilators were carefully secured each time by tipe and Heals firmly affixed to tho wood and each stamped with my private seal. Tho cream on being removed from the creamer, was placed in large buckets in a wooden box made at my suggestion, and this box was likewise sealed and stamped. These various seals remained intact, except when broken by me to admit the milk of each milking or to draw off cream. I was also present when the cream was placed in the churn, remained while it waa being churned, and weighed the unsalted butler, the salt to bo added (ono ounce per pound), and finally the salted butter. The butler was worked to my entire satisfaction exceed ingly dry, as will bo seen io tho fact that the salt when added made almost a clear gaiti. Bo that, from the timo of milking until the Halted butter had been finally weigh ed, the milk, cream nud butter were cither within my sight or securely seuled in the creamer or box described above. Tho scales on which tho butter was weighed were bought of Fairbanks & Co. for this specie*, purpose, after having been tested and guaranteed by them to be accurate by U. S. standard. Inclosed is a letter from Fairbanks Sc Co. to that eilect. Tho cow waa fed at the discretion of Mr. ? Kicklefsen, malinger of the Burnside Park Herd, the daily ration being : 22 quarts ground oats, 15 quarts pea meal, 2 quarta linseed oil coke, 1 quart wheat bran-total, 40 quarts, be sides carrots, beets and good clover hay. Her appetite was constantly good; in fact, abe seemed always ready to cat more. The weather during the test was disa greeable, cold and snowy, and interfered somewhat with her daily exorcise. The following is the result of the test: Yield in seven days 299? lbs. of milk, from which were churned 44 lbs. 1} oz. of unsalted butter, which, when salted at the rato of one ounce to the pound, gave 46 lbs. 12} oz. of Baited butter ready for market. The great gain by salting is duo to the fact that the unsalted butter was worked so very dry that when the salt was afterward worked in, no water or buttermilk appeared in tho bowl. It should havo been said above thal the butter waa twice washed in the churn when in granular form, removing every trace of buttermilk. Princess 2d 8046 was dropped Feb. 22, 1877, and was, therefore, exactly eight Tears old when this test began. She is by Khedive, P. S. 103, out of Princess, F. S. 1204, being a Coomassie-Welcome cow. She is in color light fawn with whito on belly ; white BWitch, very yel low skin, has a large selvedge escutcheon, a large, perfectly-formed and very aym metrical udder, with .large teats ; large and very prominent tortuous milk, veins. Uer weight, Mr. Kicklefsen informs mo, is 1,125 lbs., and she carries no super fluous flesh, being fine in bone and mus cle. Her last calf waa dropped Dec. 31, 1884, noven and a half weeks before the beginning of thia test, for which abo was prepared Dy six weeks of high feeding, which BO enriched her milk that during tho test only 6 2-5 pouuds of milk were required to make a pound of butter. Respectfully, J. HENEY GEST. A Shooting Tragedy. LANCASTER, Apr ii 13.-This town waa startled on Sunday evening, about half past 8 o'clock, at the noise of repeated eintol-firing in the hotel known as the a taw ba House. Most of the citizens were absent at church at the time, but those who heard the reports on rushing to the place fon nd Mr. W. D. Curtis in the last agonies of death, from the effects of pistol shots. A jury of inquest wss immediately organized, and the cause of the death was ascertained to be a ball from a pis tol in the hands of Mr. Charles Eman uel, of Bennettavllle, S. C. These two men, Curtis and Emanuel, bad been recently in the town of Winnsboro, 8. O. Emanuel, when there, had lost tweuty Or twenty-five dollars, and accused Cur tis of taking it from bis pocket. Cu ac count of this charge a bad feeling exist ed between the two men all day. They were both boarding at the Catawba House and their rooms were side by side. Mrs; Curtis, the Wife of the slain man, became very much troubled about the matter and was talking with Emanuel at the time the firing commenced. It is a matter of dispute as to who fired the first shot, and os to whether Curtis fired at ali, but those who have examined the room say that the marks of the pistol balls appear in and about the room of Mr. Emanuel, and from this it is thought by some thai Mr. Curtis most probably made the attack. There were about seven shots in all found. Curtis was struck twice, one ball penetrating ?sat th? region of the heart. After straggling to lils'bed he died In a few second?. Emanuel, it is said, was struck through his coat, but was not hart Mrs. Cartis wss the only eye-witness of the bloody tragedy, but on account of the shook sba was not called upon to tastily before ibo jury of inquest.

COLUMBIA, April 9.-At 5.30 this evening Louis Pettis and William Henry alias John Arins, both colored convicts, met death while endeavoring to escape from the force engaged on the Columbia Canal. Tbey wero working on Cemetery Hill just above thc present upper termi DUS of the canal and had Beveled their shackles, presumably with tools used in rock work. A picket Hue of guards i* kept about the "exposed section of the bill, where work is being done. The river protects the other side of the hill. One ol" these guards saw the men rushing through the underbrush iu the direction of a point ot woods several hundred yards oil". Ile tried lo halt them but failed and took a long shot at them. The convicts ran between two other guards, who also ordered them to halt, but could not tire for fear of shooting each other. When, however, the negroes, still running fa?t, had passed beyond the picket line and were in the open space, the guards lind. The distance was con siderable. Home eight rifle shots were made, tbeloat two bringing the convicts to the ground. Ono wa? shot through the neck and the other through the back. Both died almost instantly. Pettis was from York and had served two years of a teu years' sentence for manslaughter, ile was about ?JO years old. Henry was younger and came from Charleston about six months ago to serve five years for larceny of live stock. When the hands were called it. it wai found that James Crockett, recently cou rioted xl thc Hieb? land Court ol housebreaking, who was working near the other?, had nearly suc ceeded in filing ot! his ball nud chain, showing that ho too had intended a dash for liberty. The nature of the ground and th?* working i* a har to tho detection of shackle-breaking, but as au offset to this the guards seem to be good rifle shots.-Dispatch to the News ami Courier. Will tho War Help America ? William Lane Hooker, the consul gen eral of Great Britain in New York, said : "Should war come England would blockade the Baltic aud Black Sea norla and Russia's exports of grain would bo cut oil". In such an event thc United States would secure more trade. This country wouid bo more nvailabio to Mip ply certain articles than any other, ospe- r pially breadstufla." t "As regards dollars and couts, any war 1 n Europe would be a good thing for us," 1 laid Cyrus W. Field. "But of course we . all deplore war, and would bato to see i one between great nations like England and Russia. 1 was in India four years ago and was surprised to see what mag nificient native soldiers they had in the northern and mountain regions. They are fine large fellows, and could carry war far into Russia and cripple that country HO that thc people would not have much time to devote to agriculture. In tho eveut of a war the cotton supply of India would be cut off and also the grain of Russia. A great demand for our grain would bo crealed and ship ments of breadstuff's from tho United States largely increased. That would make business for railroads, mid their earnings would be swelled from trans porting grain from the West. Larger interest would be paid on Blocks and bonds and the stock market become more active. AH sorts of securities would be affected and more mouey put in circula tion." "In a commercial point of view we would gain by the misfortunes of Eng land and Russia," Baid Mr. Levi M. Bates, of Bates, Reed &Cooley. "If there should be a wai- tho demand will be greater and prices higher. Such a con dition of affairs would be beneficial to the whole country, and all branches of trade become mor? active." F. B. Thurber said : "Trade in provis ions would undoubtedly be improved, although England can to a certain extent depend on ber colonies. It does not seem improbable to mo that Eng land's shipping interests would bo dis turbed. Neither would it be strange should war drive many ships that now float British colors under the American flag Aud we will be benefited." B. F. Clarke, president of tbe Thomas Iron company, said : "The iron trade does not have competition from abroad. We could not export iron in the eveut of war. The duty on importations of iron is $6.72. That difference explains why the iron trado would not be benefited. The manufacture of the munitions of war would be helped. Spelter is used in cartridges, and we make the finest in the world." John F. Black, of the Cotton Ex? change: "The rumors of war have depressed the cotton market. If there should be war, which I doubt, we shall feel a depression at first, bu', a prolonged struggle would be beneficial." John Bloodgood said : "If a war takes place there will bc a large demand from Europe for everything we have. If there is a demand for money on the other side the stocks will come back to us, but we will be able to receive them, and an era of great Bpeculation will be inaugurated." Washington E. Conner said : "A war between England and Russia would eventually be of great benefit to thia country. Russia and India are the two great grain-producing countries on the other side. The first effect might be dis appointing, for the first thiog that tba fighting countries would require would be money. A war now between civilised nations Is not to bo quickly over. If it should be prolonged lhere ls no question thai a Blruggle between England aud Russia would send money here. The majority of tho people, I find, do nut look for war. There eau be hlumog between nations us woll as in poker." Alexander E. Orr, of David Dows & Co., brtid : "The immediate effect on this country would be, of course, to stimulate the prices of breadstuff and provisions, but the ultimate result!1 would not be as great aa many would auppose. One thing must be remembered : Our inter est.* are so closely identified with those of England that I believe any serious troubles in England would bc likely to Injuriously affect us In the end." J. H. Herrick, president of Iho Pro duce Exchange, said: "Should war actually result lt is likely to cause a European coalition with England, Italy suid Austria on one aide and wtthTurkey as an unknown tactor. The Bosslac porta would be blockaded, from which the amount of grain Imported ls not unimportant, and the larger drain upon this country for both grain and provis Ions could not fail to be profitable to onr agricultural and commercial interests." Henry Clews enid: "Tho only first class nation ?ot likely lo be involved in this threatened contest ls Am?rica, and hence the only one during the conflict likely to be benefited thereby.

SPRIKUPIBLD, ILL., April 12.-Death as claimed another member of tho llinois legislature, this time the victim eing J. Henry Shaw, Democrat, of leadestown, Cass County. About 12:45 his afternoon, the clerk of the Palace lOtel, missing Representative Sbs.w at inner, and not having Keen him during he morning, went to bis room lo call lim. Receiving no answer, he looked ver thc transom and saw him lying as hough dead. Tho door was broken peu, and the doctor gave it as Iiis opin an that thc Representative had been lead several hours. The deceased has leen ailing during the whole season, but lot so that he could not attend to bia luties most of tho time. Representative Shaw was over sixty 'ears old, and served in the thirty second ;eneral assembly, this being his second erm. He lins been an unswerving Democrat, and thus there occurs another >reak in the ranks of that party. This nakes the third death during the session, omething which never before occurred, t was anticipated that upon Senator -)avis, from Green County, assuming ?ihre, something tangible would be done n relation to the United Stales Renator ihip question ; but this unexpected iceurrenee will again throw it back for wenty days at least. What makes the ituation still worse, it leaves the house i tie upon any question which will bc sontttrued into u party isnue, and thus elard puniness. The governor will he equested to issue a writ for a new elec ion to morrow, but the election canuol eke place before twenty days after the ?ail. Who Originated the Great Fraud. It peems that the popular impression hat Zach. Chandler was the originator jf the great frnnd of 1876 is erroneous. Jen. DHU Sickies claims the honor. A .vriter in the New York Tribuns says : rhe Evening Post gives what it thinks a fair and correct statement of the issue of 1876 when it says "Mf. Tilden was elect ed, and hiH success was conceded by oearly every Republican journal in the country on the morning after election flay. Then the order was sent out by Zach Chandler to 'claim' several South ern States, etc." The Poul is iu error. Early on the night of the election io 1876 Zachariah Chandler went to bed in the Filth Avenue Hotel disgusted, dis gruntled and otherwise disabled, leaving General Daniel E. 8ickles almost alone seeking for cold comfort in the close re turns. About 4 in the morning General Bickies hastily left the hotel, drove to the Western Union telegraph office at Dey street and. Broadway, and by tele graph warned Republicans in Oregon. Florida and Louisiana to watch the count in those States. And while General Sickles was doing this at one desk of the large room in the basement of the build ing, Colonel W. R. Pelton, Governor Tilden's nephew, at another desk was addressing dispatches to leading Dem ocrats in the same States on precisely the same subject. Colonel Pelton was there when General Sickles arrived ; and Pelton had seen the critical points in the returns before Sickles had discovered them. Chandler knew nothing of the Coi nts raised in Sickles' mind until he ad sobered up. Barrillas Succeeds Barrios. WASHINGTON, April 10.-Secretary ol State Bavard baa received official infor mation from Hali, American Minister resident in Central America, that Gen, Barrios was killed in battle on the 2d iuBt. Gen. Barritas, being his constitu tional successor, bas ast.t.med the duties of President of Guatemala. WASHINOTON. April 10.~The Presi dent to-day received the following tele gram from Gen. M. L. Barrillas, dated at La Libertad : "I have the honor to inform your Ex cellency that, by the death of Gen. ?arrioe, I have entered, according to the Constitution, upon the exercise of tho duties of the Presidential office, and J a. ve organized a new Cabinet The at titude of my government will be purely luch as is required by the dignity and iefence of the coantry." Inquiry at the Central American le? rations here concerning Gen. Barrillas slicited the information that he is & men of wealth who is likely to be conserva tive in his policy, and that while he was a friend of Barrios and fell in with him in his scheme for the Union of the Cen tral American States, it is unlikely that he will care to carry on the war against the 8tates of San Salvador, Costa Rica ?od Nicaragua. begun by Barrios. One reason given for this opinion islhatGeu. Barrillas was appointed to the office of vice-President, which be held when Barrios wee President and from which he now succeeds to Barrlos's place, by the Assembly. of State, which is now taid to be opposed to Barrio*'* project of securing the Union of the Centrai Amer can States by force.: The State .department has received in formation to the effect that the family of the Ute Gen.

Oarfield, mentioned in a recent letter to her (he newspaper stories about ber reported intention to marry again, end received in reply a letter, written on tbe 4tb of April, 11 om which we take the responsibility of making an extract. It will be seen that ?he thought a dignified denial by her friends might be proper ; but nothing, aa it seems to us, can be more proper and effective than ber own womanly words : "This cruel rumor, which seems to have been afloat for two or three months, did not reach me till three days ago. Noth ing that has ever been said about me has ro hurt and offended mo as this, and tho deepest humiliation is that ao many are ready to believe it. To me it seems just as much au insult to be asked whether it is true as it would be wcro tho dear general still here. That any ono can think me capable of being false to his memory seems like being regarded crimi nal. A dignified denial by my friends, I suppose, can do no harm. Still it hurts me to feel that any denial is needed." A Civil Rights Case. CHATTANOOGA, April ll.-In tho United States District Court to day, Judge D. bl.
