DEFEAT OF TUB COIN BILL.
Thc opponents and supporters of thc bill lo
"provide fer the payment of the principal and in?
terest of the bonds and stocks of tho State In
cola," weat lato the noose to-day prepared to
make a hard fight, and for a short time the con?
test was warm, but wan ended by DeLurge (who
had vainly striven to get an amendment in,) pro?
posing that the enacting clause be stricken out,
which was adopted. This, of course, killed the
bin, aad many were the blue looks in eonseqence.
A Close observer could have easily pointed out
the men who were specially interested in the pas?
sage of the bin. There are many willing to bet
that lt win pass in the House when it ls brought
np again, which, it is asserted, will be shortly. A
remar* from one of the members in tht lobby,
after the defeat of the bill, that "FOUR THOUSAND
DOLLARS WOULD CARRY IT THROUGH," gives at
least an Idea of one of the means which may be
brought to btar cpen the members.
SUBJECTS OF LAUGHTER
Are the coin bill and the bill to better protect the
holders of Insurance policies. They are jested
about squally as much as Corbin's desire to serve
fcls or the Governor's "beloved State," which is
. it? An amendment was prepared to the former
mentioned bill, .providing that thc members,
clerks and pages of both bodies bc paid in coin, | t
and weald have been introduced in the Hoase to?
day but for the bill having been killed. And In
th? Senate to-day Amlm gave notice that he I j
would on to-morrow, or ss soon thereafter as
practicable, introduc? a bill providing that mer?
chante, planters, lawyers, doctore, shoemakers,
bricklayers and everybody else sbotid pnrehatc
fifty thousand dollars'worth of the stocksend
bonds of the State "fer the better protestlon of the
people of the State." This was Immediately rec?
ognised bj the senators asa capital burlesque upon I
the latter mentioned bill, aad it created consider- 1
able laughter, which was increased by tho serious ]
looks ef Arnim, who. by thc way, g re the notice
as a blt of revenge upon the Sena' ? for refusing
to permit bim on yesterday to amend the bill to
incorporate the Policy-holder's Life Tontine Assu- I I
ranee Company. j 1
m rr A THOROUSHFARE?
A few days ago, a bill was Introduced in tho
Hoeft, providing that John R. Dickson, E. A.
Dickinson, John Jones and Henry A. Smith shall be
authorized to obtain the right of way across the
Savannah and Charleston Railroad, in the mon
ner prescribed in an act entitled "AA act to i
clare the manner by which the landa or the rlj
of way over the lands of persona or corporatk
may be taken for the construction and uses
railways, and other works of internal impro
mont," approved on the ?2d of September, 18
It was referred to the Judiciary Committee. 1
opponents of thc hil! asserted that it should hs
been referred ;o the Committee on Railroads, I
was referred to the Judiciary Committee, becai
there are representatives from Beaufort on
from the section of the country where Mess
Dickinson, Jones and Smith propose to have th
tram road. To-day the Judiciary Committee
parted that the bill bad been duly cons
ered, and they would recommend that lt
amended so as to prov.d-; that the Messrs. Dick
son, Smith and Jones -at all times sdnform wi
the schedule of the Savannah and Chariest
Railroad, and in no instance cross within fifte
minutes of the time any train is due; and that
Bhall be the duty of the said ?ompany to give t
said parties or their agents notice in writi;
three days in advance of any ?hange in thi
schedule. DeLarge at once announced that
intended to represent the interests of thc ra
road company, and wantsd 'he consideration
the bill postponed until he cc lld write to the <
rectors "for more light about ber-Dickinsor
small railroad." After considerable discussion,
was agreed that thc further consideration of t
bill should be postponed intll Monday nei
Some people consider the report of the Jad?ela
Committee as ittlte cool.
TH S HENS CAN CROW.
The Senate bill to carry into effect the proi
pions of the constitution in relation to the rlgh
of married women, which gives them the right
do with their own property what they have t
ways osen doing with it-and their husband
too-i. e., letting it slip through their fingers with
perfect looseness, was passed through its secar
reading in thc House to-day. Th? bill also pr
vides that they can sue and bo sued in the count
which latter, after they have been through tl
lawyers' hands, they will not fancy as mach i
the old fashioned way of being sued.
WAS IT AN ERROR?
A biU to "prevent and punish bribery and so
rnption " was introduced, and read tl
first time, in tooth bodies, a few daj
ago, and was ordered in the House to t
placed on the calendar among the "genen
orders" for to-day, and it appears as "A bill t
provide for bribery and corruption." Laws fri
qnently have the efp^.t of producing results et
tlrely opposite to what was intended, and, pc
haps, the printer was thinking of that when ii
made the somewhat ludicrous error. fr) Howevei
lt received its second reading and was ordered t
be engrossed. It provides that whoever sha

A CHATTER OP JCD0ES.
The Senate had for to-day's consideration th tr
"general" and threp special orders, but did ve
little more than to dispose of "general order nm
ber three"-a report of the Committee oa the J
dietary on a bill to Increase tho salaries of t
Justioes of the Supreme Court and of the Ciro
Jtdges. The report recommended that as "fl
thousand dollars per annum ls the least sum th
ought to be tendered to secure upon the-beuca
the Supreme Court proper legal ability, and it
the least sum that men of numeicat ability to ?
there oan afford to accept," the Chief Justice ai
his associates should receive that amount, ai
that as the "labors of the First Circuit we
probably double that of any other ia the Stat
and the expense of living in the City of Chark
ton ls four times as great as in any other el
cult," the Judge of that ciroult (Jadgc Carpe a ie
should receiTe five thousand dollars per annum.
THOSE WHO REIGN SUPREME.
As soon as the report was called up, there wei
numerous motions made ta table lt, which, afb
considerable discussion, was done, and the bl
"to Increase the salaries of the justices of the Si
preme Court and of the Circuit Judges," intr
diced in th? Senate on thc 8th of January las
was ordered up for consideration. This bill pn
Tided that from th? Brat day of the current lise;
year the salary of th? Chief Justice shall be fut
thousand five hundred dollars per annum, an
the salaries of the associate justices and the cl
cult judges shall bc four thousand dollars per ai
sam each.
BETI LB NOT TUE .1UDGE8.
Prank-Arnim seemed to scon* at the idea of it
creasing the pay of the Judges, as provided in th
bill, and mockingly node such amendments a
(25,000 or $35,000 per annum, which elicited fror
Leslie, "Oh I now, don't Frank, don't be cai
tious"-his usual remark when Arnim decae
go with his friends.
?-NASK-INO OF TEETH.
Kanb, colored, was opposed to tbe Increase ?
salary, and said, substantially: if the judge
can't discharge their dulles for what they not
get, let 'om resign ; there are plenty good men ti
take their places, and would be glad to get them
There's a report around here that there's not cm
on the bench worth two thousand dollars a yesr
lu old times the Judges lived on three thousant
dollars a year. This one thousand dollars add:
tiona! that we propose to give to these judgot
would establish two excellent schools; and I wan
to sec more schools for my people and less law?
itta less the people go Into court tb? better Io
them. The senators, it seems, do not come lure
to represent the interests of the people, but tht
Interest of the officers. This Isn't the Ursuline
I have been bothered about these judges; I wo.?
pestered about increasing their salaries long be
fore the session commenced. The senators arc
always after increasing the salaries of something
or other. Last session it was tbc railroads, non
It's the judges, next we'll have the land commis?
sion-ann God knows what next.
JUDOS NOT, ac.
Cain, colored, was also opposed to any inereace
of salary and said, substantially : It seems to rn?
that thc object of the Republican party ls to be all
of the time increasing thc salaries of its officials,
and the people arc complaining of lt, and rightly
too, for they have to pay for it. The opposition
papers of the State are asserting that the Rcpub
Hean party are squandering the people's money,
and 1 fear they say it with a great deal of truth.
Truth is a thing that can't be gotten over ; it is
sometimes hard to take, especially when told by
thc opposition, but, as 1 said, I fear the papers are
coming " mighty nigh the truth." Besides, eur
officials do DOW get good salaries-and with these
and perquisites and-I Uko to have sold steal
Inga, but I wont, but I mean it nevertheless,
for I doubt not some of them do Uk? our officials
Sown at Charleston seem to do-rob by law and
steal by governmental declaration. I do not so
much object to Increasing thc salaries of tho
the Judges of the Supremo Court-I don't want
them to get wealthy-but when it "comes
to the Circuit Judges,"-well, I say, God help
the people ana-.
WHAT WILL TUET DO WITH IT?
Leslie, Interuptlng, asked If Cain would sap
port a motion to give all the Judges of the Su?
preme Court four thousand Ave hundred dollars
ncr anuna, to which he replied: Well, I don't
know, I suppose so, if you think they could
manage to eke out an existeocc and not starve
upon that amount.
Leslie. Well, we'll try them a year oa that, and
If they starve we'll give their successors more
Cain. Weil, all right, I'll agree to that, but I'll
etatc then, when we come to the Circuit Judges
I will bc in favor of cutting down their salaries
ibout three thousand dollars.
ASPIRATIONS.
Amita moved to give the judges twenty ttions
md dollars cash. Ile did not know what to think
3f the Judiciary Committee in recommending
neb tremendous salaries. He believed that each
member of thc Judiciary Committee wanted to bc
i judge, and had recomoaded them high salaries
.o that they could enjoy them if they ever got to
oe judges.
ARE THINGS AS TIIKV SZKM *
Nash, colored. Mr. S;>e:ikcr, it does seem to me
that there arc some people who believe this is the
ast year or the Republican party-that it ls goiug
town-and for this last year we must give thc
Dfncials of lt big salaries so that they may all be
ible to get all thoy can, and when the party goes
ap they can-.
A 8MA1.L KARTnCjUAKB.
Nash waa not allowed to linlsh h.s remarks.
The baud Commission, in thc person of Leslie,
trembled; lt shook to lt? very foundations; its
?reath was fiery; lt opened doubtless with thc
mention of swallowing Nash, but lt didn't;
frord3 hot and unselected poured forth-too
rapidly to be caught eveu by thc phono?
grapher's lightning pen. After awhile, it
resumed its natural qui9t and was ready for
liTisioti "Into farly acres," and, perhaps,
.the mille." The Land Commission denounc
rd Nash for making such a speech, which
the correspondent of Tur; NEWS would of course
make capital of; declared that some of the
<peeche3 made on .ho subject wopld only furnish
mch startling headlines for TUE NB WE as "Ano?
ther Pobbery by t!:c Radicals''--The Scalawags
md Carpe'.-Baggers Tb evitig A^ain"-"Another
Rad.cal D.p into the State TrtaiUry"-'The Foo
pie Defrauded..? But what of that. Tho
Commission did not care for tie paper; lt i
no cons?quence anjhow. After this ont
the Land Commissioner proceeded to show th
proposed salaries, when judged bj the dep
ted currency, was really no greater than wa
to "the old-time judges."
TBK BRAND OK CAIN.
Shortly after the earthquake, that didn't
bring oat a little neics, thc Senate decided t
the Chief Justice and his two associates
thousand Ave hundred dollars each per an
Then came thc clause relating to paying th
cuit Judges four thousand dollars each, c
had come in about this time, and moved itu
Judge of the First Circuit receive four thou
five hundred dollars per annum. Arnim,
castically) moved to make it six thousant
lars. This called up Cain, colored, and he F
at length in denunciation of Jndge Carpe
saying, substantially: I am opposed to pt
Judge Carpenter any more than any other c
Circuit Judges. It ls true that when wv oon
the number of commitments he has made
number of men he bas sent to the pen
Hary, he may be entitled to more sa
but when we think of the poor wt
and children whsse husbands and fathers h<
committed io the penitentiary for etealii
chicken, he ls not entitled to ll and ought nc
get it; Fd rather cut his salary down. 1 ta
that men who are elected to bc judges are selc
because of their legal ability, for their nfee s
of honor and justice, which will give them
true understanding of the law?aud canse the
mete lt out to rich and poor, white and col
alike. But how is it that he (Judge C.) broi
old laws to bear, and "ruled ont" of his coi
woman who bore on her the dark hue of her r
because she was a colored woman-ruled tier
of his court because she was black, and the I
she sued was white. And now we must pay
flvo hundred dollars moro than the ether jud
because he ruled ont of his court a woman
cause Bbs was blacs.
Donaldson. Why do you not, If yon ki
these charges you allege to be trac, take
necessary steps to have him impeached J
Cain. That ls not my business.
Leslie (jestfully.) Are lhere no other chat
that you could mention; is there nothing els?
can tell about him besides the Orangeburg
fair?
Cain. I do not desire to tell all I know ; he vc
agalust the homestead Jaw; he objects to cole
jurors. After further arguing that Judge C's
penses were not much greater than that of
other Judges, and therefore he was not entli
to a larger salary, Cain said: I'll fix him when
comes before us for re-election. I'll write "lc
bod" over his door-post, os his glory is depart
Corbin. Bow do you know yea will be h
then?
Cain. Oh, I'll risk it; If I am not here, I'll
that my successor fixes him. We ure having
many lawyers and too much ?aw. If here had ht
some old farmer ou the hench, with good cc
mon sense, at that Orangeburg case, he wo
not have quibbled over the law, but would hi
seen that th? poor woman got Justice. 1 und
stand that bc has since found out thal he mad
mistake, and has ordered the rearrest of thc wt
nan.
This last clause was evidently sp?ken from
formation whispered to him by DeLarge, a me
ber, who was sitting by Cain.
Leslie observed this, aad said that he hot
that the member who gave this informait
would be heard in His own house.
FLANINO DOWN TO FACTS.
Corbin had listened very Impatiently to t!
tirade of abuse hurled ?pon his friend, Judge Ci
penter, and as soon as he got an oppartnnl
substantially Bald : I know all about that affair
Orangebarg. The action was brought by a O
ored weman against a white man for bastare
A distinguished legal gentleman of Orangebn
defended the accused, and carly in the cn
called the attention of thc conn to a law of is:
which showed that the action against his elle
could not live. Th? Solicitor for the State- n
Hr. Chamberlain, bat his assistant, Hr. Seabroo
of Charleston-examined the law presented, at
stated that be would yield, but he did not oe.ll ti
attention of the Judge to auy subsequent lav
Judge Carpenter Haid if thal was the law he won
have to yield to it, although he knew lt to be u
questionably unjust. After the decision he wi
made acquainted with the law of 18110, repeaiiu
that of 1337, wher?up?n he immediately orden
that the defendant should be rearrested. Judy
Carpenter was excusable.for this mistake-aili
ns are liable to make them. He had not been in tl
State very long, and bad not bad time to muk
himself thoroughly acquainted with our laws; au
then he had thc opinion of two native lawyei
that the law presented was the right one. %
OUT OK TM Kilt BLKMENT.
Cain. If he was not acquainted willi thc law
of the State, why was he elected ?
Corbin. My friend (OalD) is a minister, bu'. I'
warrant that 1 can find something lu both thc Ol
and New Testament which ho bas never heard ot
and the law, like the Bible, is illimitable, and i
man to say h? knows all abort : the law would b
about as foolish as one who would say Uutt h
know all that was in the Bible.
Arter an eulogy to thc talents, energy and In
dust ry of Judge Carpenter, Corbin took his seat
before doing so, saying, that as thc people o
Charleston County paid 3300,000 taxes per annuu
-more than onc-ihlrd of all paid hythe renie
thc State-they should have a right now to u
Judge among them.
Nash. Do you think ir 'twas left to the people
.f Charleston County they would decide to keep
him ?
Corbin. Yes, I think they would.
Nash. Well, they are bigger fu?ls than I thought
th?y were.
Leslie said he thought Ulai the -religious sena?
tor" (Cain) always wished to dj right, and always
mean', what he said, but he did think that bu had
gone Just a step too far when be attacked Judge
Carpenter. He was fully convinced that even if
the senator agreed to pay Judge Carpenter four
thousand flvo hundred dollars, the Rouse would
refuse, and therefor? movsd that he receive the
earns salary as thc other circuit Judges, viz: four
thousand dollars. t
The vote was then taken, and it was agreed to
pay the circuit judges four thousand dollars each,
and thc Senate adjourned.

Rumor hath lt that certain oi'Jclals har? organ?
ized themselves into a riug to parchase the school
books for the free-schools of a certain publishing

What ls Thought of the Mewnage-Cuba

tion-The Crowd In Washington.
(FROM OCR OWN CORRESPONDENT.]
WASHINGTON, December 7.
The mountain has labored and the result ls
the mouse. No message was ever more awkward?
ly put together, or more quietly received In and
out of Congress, than the one delivered hy the
President on yesterday. Perhaps the best criti?
cism passed upon it was thc somewhat plain one,
namely, that it was more remarkable for what lt
omitted than what it contained, and it ls gene?
rally accepted that what it contained had hcen
fully anticipated by thc gossip and speculation of
the past month, lt ls evident to the casual reader
that there arc uo lees than three handwritings
within thc walls of the White Bouse In this
document. There ls not a shadow of doubt
that Secretary Pish wrote every word of the
resume cf thc foreign situation, and the stilted,
deceptive generosity shoat the non-recognition of
the belligerency of Cuba. This portion of the mes?
sage seems to receive uuiversul disfavor, and ls
te be met at once with a counter Irritant In thc
shape of thousands upon thousands of names to
memorials, asking Congress to do something for
"free Cuba/' Tbe eplrit of the docemcnt de?
nouncing the civil tenure of office law, and ask?
ing for Us immediate repeal, and virtually sus?
taining thc ort repeated views or ex-President
Johnson thereon, is in striking contrast with
Grant's position two years ugo, when he did all
he could do to embarrass President Johnson, by
urging thal this law bc passed by Congress.
The report or the Secretary or thc Trcasv.ry,
which Mr. BoutweU kept with so much secrecy,
was so iar short or the general expectation that
lt had little or no influence upon the financial
market, and fell Hat in Congress. While the
West aud South are united in demanding that
the volume of currency shall be so enlarged as ts
enable the legitimate channels of trade to flow
on, Mr. Boutwell comes out and proposes that
Congress authorize him to contract the currency
two millions per month, aud without eveu relin?
quishing his present right to sell go'd and lock
up thc proceeds, so as to tighten money at any
time it may suit thc speculative purposes of him?
self or his friends I And right here, it should be
added, that despite all thc lofty pretensions of
Mr. Boutwell that the recommendations of bis ru?
pert would bc kept secret, it is nevertheless a fact
that on Saturday hist they were well known In
Wall street. The proposition to Hind the greater
parlor the public debt eu a four and a hair per
cent, loan was freely canvassed there.and had the
effect to raise the premium on such of the bouda
aa were not Included In it.
The proposed Radical "persecution or Georgia
was thc only sentiment of the message applauded
on thc Hoor of the Itonse. lt ts to be one of the
earliest measures of the session, and the dictum
of Grant's message, it is very evident, la to bc
fully carried out- Govcrnsr Bullock ls here, and
lu constant attendance on Radical senators ?ad
members, ia wider to carry out his party ends.
Ile is tither on Hie floor of the Seuate or House
during mott of the session, aud has already di?
vulged his plans and purposes tu Hie head and
front of the Reconstruction Committee, lt ls
hardly probable, ?hough several bills have been
introduced, that anything will be done In the
Georgia matter anti! after the holiday recess.
Sneh is the feeling in hoth henses that there
appears to be very little tlouet a bill will be pass?
ed, general in its character, removing the politi?
cal disabilities imposed by thc Fifteenth amend?
ment. Of course Hie most earnest opponents of
such a measure arc thc carpet-bag members.
Borne o' the latter, however, say they are willing
tc vete for such a biil when the Fifteenth uuieud
meat ls ratified, hst not before. The Reconstruc?
tion Cotntntttee are holding a large number of
biUacovering Individual cases to sec what Con?
gress intends to do with a general measure. A
bill introduced in ibo Senate by Mr. Warner
reads as follows:
lie il enacted, de., That All political disabilities
imposed by the tnird section of the Fourteenth
article of amendment to the Constitution or His
United States or by law or congress forreasen <>f
participation in rebellion against tu- Govern?
ment of the United Stales, are hereby removed
from nil persons who wt rc citizens sf tue Stats of

Tho House Committee on Foreign Affairs will,
in afewdays, presenta tepon on our interna?
tional relations with Lopez, King of Paraguay,
that will be sta: liing indeed, as showing the de?
pravity mid tirutn'lty of man-that is. if the im?
mense rumors of evidence taken against Lopez
is trae. It is likely to result in Congress refusing
to have any further diplomatic relations with
Paraguay.
The sc.iron ha? opened duller '.lir.a was ex?
pected. There are not half of Hie crowd hare
that the hotels calculated on. They expect bet?
ter times after the holidays, but it is evident that,
as there are no ottlces to Cit, Hie attendance can?
not bc as great as last season.
The capital-movers are on band, and are armed
with pamphlets and document-?, which they are
dist rib ali tiT freely. The Western members gen?
orally are In favor of a removal some time, but it
does not appear that the question can assume
any practical shape at present.
The contested South Carolina election eases will
not bc taken up until after those from Louisiana

TROUBLE J ir mnomviKLTt.
Two Men Killed at Robinson's Circus
-A Third Hung by the Negro Militia. |
[Prom the Augusta Chronicle, of Friday.)
At a late hour last evening we received in?
telligence of a bloody affray at Edgcfield Court?
house, South Carolina, which, if true, reveals a
most terrible state of affairs existing In that place.
A private party who arrived here yesterday from
the courthouse brought information of the affair,
ne states that on last Wednesday John Robin?
son's Circus Company arrived In the village for
thc purpose of giving two exhibitions, and that
an immense crowd el white men and negroes had
come In from the surrounding country to witness
the performances. On Wednesday night the can?
vas was crowded, as were also the teuts In which
wera thc jugglers, sword-swallowers. and thc
"great natural cariosities" which usually accom?
pany these caravans, aud are denominated "side?
shows."
lt was in one of thc side shows that thc row is
said to have origliatcd, though In what manner
we were unable to learn. At all events, pistols
were drawn on both sides and freely used. Be?
fore thc illillculty cosld be stopped, the scalawag
clerk of the Superior Coart was shot and instantly
killed, and auotber white man, unknown, was so
fearfully beaten lu thc head with the but of a re?
volver by some one or his adversaries, that lils
wounds proved mortal and he died during Hie
night.
As ir to put the finishing touch to this carnival
ot' blood, our same informant states that on that
night the negro militia, who have been on duty
at Edgeticld Courthouse tor some time past, ar?
rested a white citizen of the county, on a charge
of being a rebel bushwhacker, and in revenge,
they said, for the murder of negroes by thc whites,
gave liim a speedy nial aad executed him by
hanging him to a tree in the village.
The story appears almost too monstrous for be?
lief, and wc should hesitate to publish lt were it
not for the extremely unsettled condition of affairs
in Edgelleld Couuty, and the belief which has
been entertained for some time past that blood?
shed would sooner er later be the result. The
affair has probably been exaggerated, but we
..aunot. help thinking that there is a good deal of
t ruth in it, when wc consider the course which
has been pursued lu that county by the
Radicals for some time past. Negro militia?
men have ticen quartered In the village
noir for several months, mid we believe that they
were sent there by the miserable carpet-bagger
Governor and political incendiary, Scott, for no
other purpose titan to bring on a collision with
the white people. The white men there, lu order
to bailie his expectation and wishes, have taken
much In silence from these armed negroes, and
the latter, emboldened by what they " deem thc
cowardice ot thc whites, hare perhaps dared to
do what our informant stated. If they have, woe
be unto them, for we do not believe that the
Edcclluld people will submit to snell au outrage,
and if they do rise in their might they will sweep
Scoti'4 militia from the face of thc earth.

Alf JE LEG TR IC A L IlfrANT.l
The "Memorial de la Loire," a respectable
French journal, gives the following details on the
subject of an infant presenting the most remarka?
ble electrical phenomena ever yet reported:
We are not surprised to learn that there will be
given to the Imperial Academy of Medicine, of
Paris, an elaborate and intelligent eommunlca
I tlon of Ur. 0***, of Lyons, who, with two others,
went to St. Ursula, and bad the scientific satisfac?
tion of witnessing thc dying agonies, for the child
ls unhappily dead, of the poor little sufferer.
It would seem that the last moments of the
electrical Infant presented some truly astonishing
phenomena. For nearly, two weeks before its
death electrical lights manifested themselves with
a vividness that confounded the scientific men,
who "only saw Ure," according to the not very
respectful language of our correspondent.
No one could occupy the space around the cra?
dle, he says, and tue shocks were sometimes
strong enough to knock down all who approached
lt. Two cats and a dog, boarders in the house,
were compelled to leave. This state of things was
aggravated from day to day, and from hour to
hour, until the termination of the malady, which
occurred on the 8th of November, at half-past ll
in the evening.
The infant expired without the least pain or
convulsion, sweetly, In perfect repose, and as if
lt sank to sleep; while the furniture and occu?
pants of the room were seized with an Indescrib?
able agitation.
At the last moment the emanations or light
from the body of the dying child became three
times more h?tense than they had ever been seen
before, and lasted for several minutes after death.
All who were present, I do not except the physi?
cians, went away deeply Impressed by the strange
spectacle of which they had been the witnesses.
It is uot known, at least to the public, of what
disease the child died. Br. C*?* wBl perhaps tell
us tn his paper.
The scientific men, of course, desired to take
away the body for examination. But the rela?
tions were violently opposed to tills, and the in?
terment took place in the burial ground of the
village with thc usual rites aud ceremonies.
For instance, the hair of the wonderful child
was cnt off close to the head, and divided among
the relatives and friends. It will prove a power?
ful talisman, one might suppose, against many
evils.
I should not be surprised, says our correspon?
dent In conclusion, if the scamps of the neighbor,
hood should make lt a subject of speculation.
Thc electrical Infant was born on the 12th Feb?
ruary, 1SS0, and died on thc 8th November, hav?
ing lived niue months, science must tell ns, ir it
can, the meaning of this electrical phenomenon;
