there is au order from District Headquarters which
forbids, under penalty, the selling, or purchasing,
of farm produce until the crops are harvested and
tho proper divisions made.
-Most of the Pickano rioters have been arrested.
The military has efficiently assisted the civil au?

the riot. Among others', Alexaudor Bryce, Jr., of
Walhalla, and several negroes in that vicinity,
were arrested and lodged in the Pickona Jail.

-The York ville Enquirer contains the particu?

David Porter, of Limestone Springs, was engaged
in blasting rock. He had prepared a blast and

The blast exploded, when a fragment of stone
struck bim between the shoulders. Ho lingered

The Sumner Scandal. -
THE CAUSE OF THE SEPARATION OF SUMNER AND HIS \
WIFE.
A public man sometimes becomes so public that ,
his private affairs command a publicity which it
would be an affectation of the press not to notice.
Hence I send you the following: Not two years
ago the long known bachelor, Charles Sumner, .
became a Benedick. A highly educated, and in
many respects an accomplished man, of good 1
manners and better appearance, naturally enough, <
he stood high among the ladies of Boston, and he
had no difficulty tn winning tho hand of a widow
(from one of the F. F. of Boston), who sacrificed
no inconsiderable jointure in marrying him. . The '
honeymoon hod ah the apparent charm that honey- '
moona usually havo, when Mrs. Sumner went with
her husband to Washington, and new scenes en- 1
sued. Among the accomplished men composing j
the Diplomatic Corps in Washington was Baron
Holstein, of Prussia, whom the Prussian King !
had attached to the Prussian Legation there "to
spy ont the land." Naturally enough he courted 1
the acquaintance of Charles Sumner, the Chair- ; !
man of the Committee on Foreign Affairs in the \
Senate, who at a dinner party introduced his wife
to the Baron, and who was placed beside her at ?
dinner. An' acquaintance onauod, and a fri ends hip 1
followed, such as naturally and honorably spring 1
ap between the sexes with kindred taste and
aspiration.' The Baron attended'td the lady in j.
matinees and soirees, and in other public places, !
and occasionally escorted her from the Senate,
where both had been to hear the Senator speak, ..]
Mr. Sumner, becoming displeased with this ac?
quaintanceship-it cannot be properly called in
timacy-wrote a letter to Baron Holstein, in which, | !
while complaining of it, report says he insinuated,
something not honorable to the wife. The Baron '
?rrotc back ? letter, in Thioh. in sspstsnce, h* 1
?aid there was no canoe of offence whatover'-ho j
had been polite to the Madame, as he was to other J
ladies of similar aooomplshments, and nothing had '
aver happened which propriet?r or- good taste for J
bade. Bub if tho Senator was not satisfied with j
that, ho was ready to give him any Batisf action ns a
man of honor demanded. :.. \\
This correspondence was tho beginning and end
of part first ; but Mr. Sumner, report say?, then
became cool to his rifo, aas the lady and. .the J
Ilaron became more reserved in their interoonrao.
Then Mr. Sumner, as Chairman of oar Commit too c
of Foreign Affairs, wrote to the Prussian Mirister j
of Foreign Affairs, tho dlstmgulsbed BtnjMil pfc ,
that if be (Bismarck) would tecali the Iffirap ha '
(Sumner) would be obliged. The idiot flissfrarcfc :
yielded to the potential position of the American '
chairman of FcreiSfn Affairs, and the Buen was ,
recalled to Berlin.
Mrs, Sumner next bacamo .acquainted with this
correspondence, and, naturally enough, was in?
dignant beyond all power of description. Indig?
nation naturally rested opon that part of the cor?
respondence which, it was alleged, touched her
honor. The end of all this is, that Mrs. Sumner
has gone her way to Eui ope-their common es
tabliahniont in Washington being given up, and
another ia taken by the Sonator tor tho winter.
There is some scandal afloat beyond all this,
routing both to the Senator and the lady-such 1
as maybe expected from early denouements'!n such
a marriage affair-but the bani of the*roport? in
Boston are such as I send yon. What I have writ ten
ls in everybody's mouth, and' it may possibly be
erroneous in some of the details, but in substance
probably correct. I send it to yon for publication
because what, if anything, is wrong here had
better ot once bo set right lo stop the tongues of
the thousands that are making moro out of a few
facts.-boston Cor. JV". J. Expreaa.

The correspondent of tho Baltimore Gazette

Tho opinion sooms to be very generally enter?

?iolitically and financially, than at thia momopt.
The Radicals have the choice of only two courses
-the one to seizo tho Government by forco-tho
other greatly to moderate tho programme heroto

no contemptible author. ;y in Radical prognostics
(hoing a trusted wire pul lor), has said tho aamo
thing. It is oven reported upon what I consider

y that class of Congressmen known as " Con?
servativo Radicals " to repeal or greatly modify
tho oxiBting Reconstruction enactments, and en?
deavor by this moans tb effect a compromiso be?

his great blunder. Whether ho has'been brought
to recognize his criminal error, by the lato pilitioal

of a returning sonse of public duty, it would be,
perhaps, uncharitable to de tonn i ne.'
It will surprise your readers to hoar that tho

SHERMAN AND ?RANT OH SUSPENSION.
The Bouton Post's Washington correspondent
saya: >\s ? . . . .
While those who profesB to act "outside of tho
Constitution'1 aro digesting President Johnson's
declaration that ho will resist any attempt to sus?
pend or degrade him before trial and conviction, I
will add; Upon reliable authority, the declaration
of Gen. Sherman that BUCII an attempt would be
dearly revolutionary, and should bo resisted by
the President with ail the means within his con?
trol. This declaration, made to those who had a
right to know his views, may have suggested toe
propriety of nie return hore to assume tho com?
mand of the Department of Washington., which
includes Maryland and Delaware. Snob, also, was
the substance of an opinion expressed by Goq.
Grant when approached on the subject during the
last session of Congress by the Chairman of the
the House Military Committee. Mr. Iphenok do
olared to his friouua that before taking ?ny extreme
aetion in the premisos tho opinion of Gon. Grant
should be obtained, and he Volunteered to procure
it. ' When the subject was mentioned, Gen. Grant
promptly responded, in unbalance, that any at?
tempt to suspend tho President before trial and
conviction would bo in violation of the Constitu?
tion. This reply of tho "Commanding General ar?
rested any further proceedings;'at the time. . It
may bo well in this connection to repeat that
President Johnson will hold ready obodionoo
should tho House of Representatives impeach and
the Senate convict him as required by. tho forms of
tho Constitution.
THE APPOINTMENTS OF DELEGATES TO THE SOUTH?
ERN CONVENTIONS.
A Washington telegram 'to thc Haiti moro Bun
says i. .'The President to-day referred to the Sec
rotary of War1 ad iit?ertm fer consideration and r?
mark the petition of citizens of Georgia, mention?
ed in those dispatches in Wednesday morning's?
paper, in Which complaint ia modo that General
Pope' in appointing del?galos to the Convention,
gives undue advantage to tho colored over tho
white race. General Grant returns tho petition
with his endorsement, substantially, that it seems
to hun that tho allotment should be made by coun?
ties instead of sena tonal districts, as directed by
General Pope; but as tho time for tho eleotion (tho
29th instant) is near at baud, be cannot, see how
the matter eau be remedied, lie has, however,
telegraphed to General Pope, askins if it is practi?
cable to rna li o the change sought, and whether it
would not bo better to fix representation by coun?
ties instead of senatorial dis trie ts ? The reply of
General Pope has not hoon received. It is to bo
observed that General Graut does not claim the
power to direct the District Commander, and
therefore his commun ?cation is merely suggestive.
A United States Senator, heretofore earnestly in
favor of impeachment, to-day gave bis opinion
that the project had failed abd would be killed in
caucus of tho republicans upon the assembling of
members of Congress in November.
Tire South Carolin?, KaUroad and Charles- j
ton. 4
The Sumter News, referring to oban gos in tho '
rates and s : li o dui o of the South Carolina Railroad,
says goods oan now be brought via Charleston to
Columbia at lower rates than by any other route. [
lt adds : i
The enemies of tho South Carolina Railroad can?
not longer find cause of complaint. , That road has
evinced a spirit of accommodation tully equal to
tho exigencies of the times. Since the war, in
proportion as its financial condition has improved, 6
it has from time to time lowered its rates to suit t
the demands of the country. It must be borne in f
mind that it needs patronage, and that, as a pure?
ly State institution, it has aright to expect it
?rom m. Greater prosperity wul enable it to offer 1
itill greater inducements to the public. The sub. s
?oct of trade with Charleston is closely allied with t
the one to which we have briefly alluded above. ; a
Such expressions, as we have sometimes met with ' ,
in country papers, charging the city of Charleston
with assuming to be all that is important in South '
karolina, aro simply childish.
We will not recall what she did during tho war, > '
into which the action of the entire people led tho
State. Th? story is too well known. Now it would (
be expected that she would reap her reward in the t
ncreasod attachment and support of our people, r
But is it the case? It is the old story. Home
Manufactures, homo marketa ind homo institu?
ions of every ktndj sire' neglected. A. g?n?ral ?fle
?rmination on the part of our merchants to create -
i Southern trade would soon iedound greatly to
-noir advantage, bot for waul of combined euort
n the right direction, they still go Northward for :
hoir goods. 'But even under adverse oircurh- \\
itancos, Charleston offers advantage?, which aro I
vail worth inquiring into. She possesses mer- \
shanta the business of whose lives has been to
vatch for and take advantage of every fluctuation
0 the market. .With Abie, experience, they cannot j
mt be able;to buy op bettor terms .than' tho coun?
try merohant, who visita tho' N?rtn?rn market but !
;wice a year at most. The reduction allowed them j
rn the immense stocks purchased for their whole

ion, after freight is paid, at a rate but little, if at
di, higher than what they would cost a merchant

Timos ?IIH?BIB upon it thoro aro also two sides to
tho Abyssinian question. Tho oaso, as it standa
ot present, present s thoso foafcuros:
"King Theodoro has insulted and do tai nod as
hostages an English Consul, other subjects, and
even a speoial English Envoy. But DU tho othor
baud, Abyssinia has groat grievances to allego
against England. Ignorant, degraded, low as
thoy aro, tho AbyBsinians have, from very ;'oarIy
ago?, b?eh Christie ns, aud though in tho'itu me?
diato neighborhood of Arabs, Egyptians and
Turks, they have always successfully resi?tod
t ?o tido of Moslem invasion and conquest. In
1849, England formally recognized the indepen?
dence Of Abyssinia, and ag roed to exchange am?
bassadors; and in 1805, by guaranteeing tho se?
curity of , the Abyssinian seaboard, induoed tho
reception of an English Consul. But ainco 1862,
that policy has been reversed. The Egyptians
moko uninterrupted slave raids into tho In* ninds
of Abyssinia, and sell thousands of Christ ians into
Moslem slavery. Tho English Consul at Jerusa?
lem dodo.rod Abyssiniens there to be Turkish sub?
jects, and allowed them to be despoiled of their
most venoratod Ranntusrjot?: tho representations
of King Theodore, wore unnoticed and his letter to
Queen Victoria ubanwerod; aud finally English
envoys assisted at tho negotiation ty which Tur?
key sold Christian Abyssinia to Egypt, and tho
British cannon officially saluted tho KOO Egyptian
troops who came in to take formal possession.
Why ? Because England needed Egyptian cotton
and the repayment of Turkish loans. And the
Consul sent to make negotiations was seined and
imprisoned by Theodore, who, reading tho orders
from England, saw how he had boon deserted and
betrayed. That is the -substance of a long letter
published in tho English papers by ono who bad
lived many years in Abyssinia. It baa not boon
contradicted. England's Abyssinian war will cost
moro than it conies to." : "
