The fruit was frozen solid. The trees, it is thought, were, not Killed, though much injured. AU the other tropical fruits were lost, and a large part of the sugar-cane. -It ls said that in New York thc very mild weather now prevailing operates damagingly to the coal spectators, who have been seeking to pat BP the price of coal on the strength of the strifes or the miners in the Schuylkill region. ?The belief is now prevalent In regard to th is "strike" that lt ls a mere pretence, and le the result, of plot set on foot by. the owners or tho mines, in order to have a pretext for exaction of high prices for, their ooa -According to the latest official advices recelv ed by the Secretary of Sta:e, there were ttlll about one hundred and twenty Americans In Paris, who were determined to see the end of the contest. Mr. Washburne. though free tu go, has decided to remain, under the belief that his friendly offices might be serviceable In soothing the rigors of war when thc capital should fall, as it wa? anticipated would soon happen. The con Bul (Mr. Read) has availed himself or the privilege conceded by the department.to quit his post?t his own discretion. There was a weekly mall al lowed to go through the Prussian lines from pur legation, so that In regard to communication the restraint has been comparatively limited. Thc Americans were as comfortable as might bc ex? pected. -In the month of September, l869,charges were published in the New York papers alleging mis management, fraud and corruption in the affairs Of the Methodist Book Concern In that city. Mnch scandal and commotion were produced by these allegations among the members or the Methodist Epic copal Church, and the assistant agent, Rev, John Lanallan, who gave currency to these charges of irregularity, was severely censured by many, while on the other hand a largo propor? tion of the church membership supported him m what they called his effort to reform abuses. In consequence of the excitement occasioned among Methodists over the matter, it was decided to bring Mr. Lanahan to trial for having developed this condition of aflalrs, or for having asserted that they existed in the Book Concern. H!3 trial before the book committee and a number of bish? ops of the Methodist Church ls now progressing lo New York, and ls arousing much Interest among Methodists. Mr. Lanahan's friends declare that this prosecution ls a persecution of him instigated by those whose fraudulent practices In connection with the Book Concern he exposed. -The death of Very Rev. Henry Alford, D. D., Dean or Canterbury, tn London, ls announced by cable. He was weU known as a poet and biblical writer, and was born in London in 1810, where he died. He was educated at Trinity College, Cam? bridge. His first effort in verse was a volume en? titled "Poems and Poetical Fragments," publish? ed at Cambridge In 1831, to which succeeded, in 1535, "Thc School or the Heart," and other poems, in two volumes. In 1S34 Mr. Alford was elected a Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, and 1835 to 1853 was VI ar of Wymeswtld, Leicestershire, where be added to the slender Income of his bene? fice by taking pupfs. In 1341 he published chap? ters on the poets or Greece, was Hulseau lecturer la the University of Cambridge in 1841 and 1S42, and examiner of logic and natural philosophy in the University or London in 1841 to 1857. Mr. Al? ford published his first volume or the Greek Tes? tament in 1841, and since then four more, the last of which, completing thc work, appeared In 1861. The former volumes have passed through many editions. He was also author of several volumes or sermons. From 1853 to 1857 Mr. Afford was thc omclatlnjz minister of Quebec street Chapel, where he enjoyed a high reputation for eloquence. In 1857, on the death or Dean Lyall, he was ap? pointed by Lord Palmerston to the deanery of Canterbury. -The history of Ruloff. the murderer, who was las: Friday sentenced to be hanged at Bingham? ton, New York, ls very singular. He is now maa or sixty-five years or age, and, so rar as can be ascertained, bis first step in crime was taken only twenty-six years ago, when he had almost reached the age of forty. He ls a scholar or un? usual attainments, and, prevloas to hh rall, he was not only a lawyer, but also a physician and mechanic, and skilled In all three proresslons. His wife and cbUd disappeared twenty-six years ago, and he was put on trial ror abducting them, but escaped. Then he was tried for the murder of hl3 child, and was convicted, but, before sen? tence was passed, the Judgment was overruled, and he was discharged, because no body had ?ver been found. In all these cases, as well as when he has been tried subsequently for other Offenoes, he bas acted as his own counsel, and condacted his affairs with great akin. On one occasion, when Incarcerated for some offence, he gained the good-will of the jailor, who made him the tutor or a son. In reward Ruloff led the young man astray. Thu pupil In letters and tn crimes was a companion of RulofT In ?ne burglary which re? sulted in the death for which he has just been tried. The yoong man was drowned in crossing the river with the third burglar, and Ruloff was thus the only one of the three left to be brought into court. Much of RulofTs history ls unknown, but some facts of his late career have come to light. On two occasions he has defended his own accomplices in New York County courts, under an assumed name, acts of bold defiance which must stand almost alone In criminal histo'y- In his room in New York City were found not only a quantity of burglars' tools, but a half-finished treatise on the grammars of nations, written by his hand. The feeling of the people in Bingham? ton again-t thia literary bandit was so strong, that lils acquittal was impossible from the first, and there was an avowed purpose to lynch him If the most unfavorable verdict was not recorded against him; and yet In the face of such hostility he defended himself as calmly as ir he were the paid conusel or a stranger. Governor Scott's Special Message. Governor Scott is carrying out in good faith the promises made at the time of his re-election as Governor of South Carolina. In his annual message to the General As? sembly, delivered in December last, he pledg? ed himself to make every legitimate effort for the restoration of harmony to the dis? turbed opinion of this State and for the rec? ognition by all classes in the State of their mutual dependence and common interest. Close upon the heels of these handsome de? clarations came thc reports of outrages in the upper part of the State. The houses of in? offensive white men were fired into; a white man was brutally murdered by the negro militia; a deputy sheriff, while in the dis? charge of his duty, was fired upon and killed. A band of disguised men broke into the county jail, took out'five of the negroes im? plicated in the murder of a while man, shot two of them to death and mortally wounded a third. Nor were tale3 wanting of attacks upon the colored people by masquerading whites. These occurrences caused serious uneasiness, and the responsible citizens of Union and Spartanburg counties, in public meeting, pledged themselves to bend all their energies to the work of discovering the culprits and of preventing the continuance of deeds at variance with enlightened public sentiment and counter to the highest inter? ests of the State. In the meanwhile, the up? country Radicals, joined by the incendiary leaders of the sea-board negroes, raised a howl of indignation, ? tying all the blame upon the whites, denr.liding that martial law be proclaimed in t'je offending counties, preaching the bloody gospel of fire and sword. Governor Scott was denounced as a weak and feeble official, who hod not the brain to know his duty, nor the nerve for its discbarge. Threats of impeachment were bandied to and fro. A concurrent resolution, haughty in words and insultingHn tone, was hurriedly passed and presented to the Exec? utive. His answer is the special message printed yesterday-an answer which disposes of the wild charges made against him, while it proves that the Executive is resolv sd to uphold the. prerogatives of his high s?lice and to maintain the supremacy of the civil power of the State. Governor Scott tells the members of the General Assembly that he has no informa? tion of anything like "a county organiz i "tion, to defy, or to defeat, the law." The prompt and impartial administration o'jus- < tice in Abbeville and Edgefield prov.d that I the civil power was sufficient for lbj protec- ? Lion of life, liberty and property. Nor,.as I the Governor frankly admits, is there any 1 militia force at the command r i the Execu- < ;ive which would be competent to suppress 1 i violence and disorder so general as to dis- 1 irm the power of the civil coutts. Every I ?ffort has been made to discover the crimi- 1 inls and bring them to trial, but "the Ex- ' 'ecutive i3 without the power, as he ought 1 'to be wilhout disposition, to interfere with ( "Hie due administration of the law." These 1 ire, indeed, noble words. Governor Scott s jays distinctly that not a single case hos ' jeen reported in which the officers of the law ' " have been resisted in the discharge of s " their duties." He adds : "There is no ' " invasion which lam called on to repel; I " no insurrection which I am called on to 3 "repress." Yet, colored "General" "Whip- ' per and colored Coiigressnian-elect Elliott ' Jemand that they be allowed to Jead three ' .housand coast militiamen to root out rebel- ? ion and stamp out. disorder. Governor ' Scott meets in the proper spirit the declara- i ions made by " the responsible and inlluen- ? 1 tial citizens " of Laurens and Spartan- i mrg, and, in the repression of lawlessness, ' proposes to apply unflinchingly " all the ' ' power of repression " which he can law- 1 ally exercise. His expressions, moreover, ' n regard to Hie use of au armed force for ,he public protection have the ring of the ;rne metal. Ho says : "It Is my opinion that the civil law of the 1 State ought to be sufficient, and it ls my deter- ' nination that It shall be sufficient to protect '. ;he person and property of every and any ci tl- I jen of the State, however humble, friendless j jr obnoxious. I cannot bring myself to con? template the nse of an armed force to punish Individual violations of the law in a time of profound peace. Such a remedy would be as sad as ihe disease, and would bc a public dec? laration that lhere was no civil government in South Carolina, and that we are living In a condition of social anarchy. I ara bound by my oath ot office a3 the Executive of this State, md in reverence of those principles of con? stitutional liberty which are the vital force of true Republicanism, to see that the law is duly enforced before I resort to other and danger? ous powers. I dare no( and will not assume that justice cannot be administered, until the i[fort has been made and the failure evident." Thc recommendations of Governor Scott, of a more complete and efficient organiza? tion of thc machinery necessary for the ad? ministration of criminal "justice, will doubt? less receive an early attention. Tue modifi? cations proposed appear to us to be prudent ?nd reasoaable. We cannot, however, avoid the reflection that Governor Scott himself ia largely responsible for the lack of "ability, " discretion and courage " on the part of the Trial Justices, of which be makes complaint, rhese Tri.ii Justices were appointed by him -in ignorance, we bope, of Ihe patent fact :hat not one in ten had any other qualifica? tion than the ultra-Radicalism of his politi? cal creed. Governor Scott can himself do much towards reforming this part of the ' udicial system of Ihe State. i The special message breathes a spirit of I candor, of liberality, of fair-dealing and, I jven, of magnanimity, which is worthy of i ill praise. It is more than we had a right ] to expect, and everything that ihe Conserva- i ,ive citizen can desire. For the first time ' ?ve feel that Governor Scott is speaking, not i 13 a party leader, bat as the Chief Magis? trate of the whole people of -South Caroline. And we are confident that every right-think? ing man will gladly accept the olive-branch extended Lo bim. The welfare and peace of the State tower above th? schemes and.plots ci party. This is a generous and a law abiding people. We are conlideut, there? fore, that Governor Scott, in the honorable, dignified and just posilion which he has taken, will receive tho cordial support and earnest co-operation of the white citizens of the State.
