WASHINGTON, April 8.-While <>n th?* subject of Senatoria! ^ossii? the political breeze from South Carolina wafts thia way the following sensation: Thc report comes by a somewhat cir cuitous route and I will not undertake to vouch for its authenticity. It is to tile effect that a treaty of peuce luis been made between Senator Tillman and his former political rival. C?en. M. C. Butler, and the programme is said to be that Gen. Butler will endeavor to nd urn to the Senate as the successor of the present junior Senator, McLauriii, at the expiration of thc latter's temi. My informant, who was in South Caro lina recently, and mingled with the members of the Tillman-Lntimer Con gressional excursion party, says there is not the slightest possibility of de feating Senator Tillman for re-election, and tit present there is a feeling that Senator Mci.auria did not represent thc views of a majority of his party when he voted with thc Republicans to ratify the Paris peace treaty. There is a disposition to reorganize the Dem ocratic lines in South Carolina and bring back into the regular organiza tion men like Gen. Butler, Hampton and others, who have heretofore antag onized the Tillman faction in the Pal metto State. It is claimed that Senator Tillman has had some of the rough edges worn off his nature while in tho Senate, and he is less objectionable to his former antagonists than he was a few years ago. Butler's popularity, to gether with his ability, would ^o a long way towards rendering him acceptable to the followers of Tillman. It is safe to assume, in advance that this statement will create a large-sized row anions the friends of Senator Me Liuirin, who are said to have a fond ness for Gen. Butler. It is also likely that then'will be some vigorous denials on both sides of the proposition. Thc fact is the subject was quietly talked about by friends of Senator Tillman and also by friends of Gen. Butler while the Congressional party was journeying between Washington and Havana. Whether the gossipping was done with the consent of Senator Till man and Gen. Butler I am unable to say, but it stands to reason the idea did not originate without some foun dation, for the gentleman who gave me the information was a member of thc party. He was not actuated by malicious motives, but simply related to me the incident as a piece of inter esting political gossip, which might be of interest to South Carolinians.-Spe cial to Nein* and Courier. Good Advice. The counsel, Go South, Young Man ? has been proffered often by shrewd northern observers of the opportunities which are presented in this section, but it has a specially apt wisdom now that there is so much talk abont the possi bilities of making fortunes in our new possessions aud in Cuba. Leslie?* Weekly therefore gives most excellent advice when it says: "More money has been made in the Southern States in the last twenty years than will be made in the next tifty years in Cuba, Porto Rico or the Philippines, aud the chance for money making in the South have o^ly com menced. The price of iron for the world is uow made at Birmingham, Ala., and that city will shortly make the world's price of steel. The South's industrial evolution, which began with the development of its iron includes machine shops and factories, steel I>1 an ts and hardware factories. The 3,000 new industries which have sprung up during thc past year include fertili zers and phosphate works, woodwork ing factories, furniture, vehicle, agri cultural and miscellaneous works, tex tile, flour and cotton reed oil mills, gas and waterworks, telephone systems, electric light nnd power and ice and cold storage plants, canneries and hun dreds of miscellaneous plants. Nearly every Southern State hn<j increased its railroad mileage during the past year, and every southern harbor has si roiifr ly increased its export trade. ? ? * If you seek new fields of opportunity, go South, young man!" The citizen of the North and West who conics South with money or brains and ambition will make a far safer in vestment than he who seeks to improve his estate by-going to Cuba, Porto Rico or the Philippines. Not only are the conditions of life hero far more at tractive but the chances for making money are more numerous and sup ported by far better probabilities of success. Leslie's Weekly has not overstated the relative inducements which the South ?fters. Beware of Ointments for Catarrh that .

A pi i I it.-Lust night, ut about t> o'clock, a fusilado of pistol shuts in rapid succession was heard, ansi it was MOOD developed that a pitched battle was being fought in tho street between .lain Preacher, Char lie I ?reacher and Ainu Preacher, brothers, on the one side, and Coorge Ried, Mack Hied. .laun s Hied, broth ers, and.Joseph Connelly, on tin- other. As a result Ceo. Hied is dead. Mack Hied is probably fatally wounded, Joseph Connelly is seriously wounded and .lames Preacher slightly wounded in thc hand. It appears that a negro farm hand employed by George Hied was subse quently employed by the Preachers and bad feeling were engendered there by. Yesterday evening the Hieds went to the Preacher residence on this mat ter and some hot words were passed. Later in the night the two parties met at the busiest corner in the town und au altercation ensued between (Jeorge Hied and .lames Preacher, and in an instant weapons were drawn and ii general fusilado of about 510 or 40 shots followed. The streets being crowded it is miraculous that no by standers were injured. The fire of the Preachers seems to have been principally directed on George Hied. He received nine wounds. Notwithstanding his many wounds, he liv ' until this morning. .>ii thc parties are men with families except Charlie and Airen Preacher. George Ried leavesawife and child. Charlie ami Arron Preacher are more noys, the latter not yet ?0 years of ago. The coroner's jury returned a ver dict that the deceased came to his death by gunshot wounds at. the hands of .lames and Arron Preacher. As a sequel to tin- light diner New ton, a respected and orderly colored citizen, was accidentally killed. Hear ing thc tiring and thinking the police- j man was being killed, he seized his pistol and started to tin* scene, and on arriving bc mot his son. Wm. Newton, who, thinking bis father would gel in trouble, attempted to disarm him. In thc nt tempt tho weapon was discharged, killing the father instantly. James Preacher is the son-in-law of Col. Lawrence W. Yeomans, the larg- j est. planter in this section, and promi nent in State politics. The Preachers have surrendered to the sheriff*. Georgia Baptists Startled. SAVANNAH, (JA., April :i.-In the Georgia State Baptist convention to day George Hillyer, ex-mayor of At lanta, and formerly on the bench of ( the. superior court, presented a report from tin*, committee on crime and lynchings. After reading tin* report the judge gave some startling figures upon the increase of crime, urging the consider ation ol' thc question upon the church, and suggesting that as the law was slow the legislative body be appealed to to note the facts and ligures, to urge action upon that body, reminding them of the army of voters presenting the appeal. Judge Hillyer said that in the United States there were more homicides than in Scotland, F.nglnud and Prussia. The matter had been brought before the bar association in 18114 ami 18.M?. In 18114 there were 5,000 homicides in the United States anil in 181M there were 10,000. In the past year more homi cides were committed in the United States than there were killed in Cuba, and more than fell at Gettysburg or in the Ph lippines. People were losing conlidence in the law's slowness and lack of interest in the public mind. The press has been remarkably quick in bringing tho matter to the attention of the public, but the ease with which verdicts are set aside in the court room and the facility with which notorious criminals escape punishment have brought much of this about. Thc amount of crime is increasing audit seems that the criminal is thc only one that has any rights. Thc people lose confidence in tho effectiveness td'the law to punish criminals. Hence thc increase in lynching. Judge Hillyer said that, although be llini twice brought this mutter before the bar association, they had taken no action. He now appealed from the imi to the church to aid in correcting this great evil. The resolutions call upon the legisla ture to so amend the code of criminal procedure and enlarge the powers of the courts as to let all men know that the law is willing and able to do im mediate and thorough justice in every case. Th.ey assort that lynchings are a result of distrust in the promptness and efficiency of the legal machinery. The convention cn me to an end to day, after selecting Griffu as the place for the meeting next year. It was agreed, previous to thc adjournment to revive ths Georgia Baptist Historical society, and Dr. Marshall, ofSanders ville, was elected president of it, with Dr. Hugh Bernard, of Mercer, secre tary. Kev. B. F. Kiley, delivered an an address on the history of the denom ination. Judge Hillyer then presented a strong and striking report and reso lutions from the committee on crime aud lynching, which wire adopted. This afternoon tho members of the convention enjoyed a tri]) down to the seashore at Tybeo. I Program ol til*' I nion Mcrun.;.

April 17.-Cati At heno, the young Greek, who was hypnotized anti buried alive tm Thurs day night, was dug up front his living grave tit M o'clock to-night, no worse for his experience. After apparently lying in a dead j state for forty-eight hours, the rigid form was taken from the massive box. A large number of persons were present to witness the taking of the living man from his grave. Atheno, who was buried as a test of the power of hypnotic suggestion to suspend the functions indefinitely with out serious harm to the subject, isa recent comer to this city. His hypno tise r is an officer who has seen service with the volunteers, Lieut. .James .Jef frey. It is said that the temptation td' win ning $1,000 if he submitted to the test was the motive of the ( i reek itt permit ting himself to be buried, rather than any special zeal in the cause of science. His nervous temperament, ami suscep tible nature made him an ideal subject for a mesmerist. The authorities consented to the trial i only on condition that precautions be taken to prevent the Creek from being smothered in his living grave. They demanded that the grave, should lie lil ted with a tube, so that Atheno could breathe freely and communicate with those above ground should he awaken. 1 A long wooden tube was placed direct- i ly above his face, thc other end extend- I ing stone feet above the ground. Then an electric light bulb was placed di rectly above the young mail's lace. A ; normal sleeper could not endure the glare for ten minutes, but the Greek's j eyelashes did not even quiver in all the hours he slept.- Keir York /'rms. Up-Country Cattle Wanted. CllAKl.KSTON, S.

MM >Yt?rk of Pension Agents \V vsinsi.Tos, April ."?.- The work ol pension agent? is apparent in the gn at number ol' claims tiled for pensions on account ot disability incurred in the war with Spain. According to Com missioner Kvansthe rapidity with which those claims have been coming in is in marked contrast w ith tin- manner in which claims were filed at the closent the Civil War. At that time claims were made only on account of wounds and disability incut roil in battle, and it was not for some years after t be close ol' the war thal claims for disability mi account ol' disease began lo come in. Now. however, thc great niajorit.x til claims are on account of disability from diseuse incurred in camp ami especial ly among those regiments which were the victims of typhoid fever in Cuba anti Porto lin o. Pension attorneys winking among these men have induced them to tile claims, lu sonn- instances '2'* per cent of thc men in a regiment have done so.
