[SrECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE NEWS.]
? COLCBBIA, February 15..
The following is a synopsis of Governor
Scott's message, sent to both houses of the Gen?
eral Assembly to-day:
In response to the inquiry of the joint commit?
tee, what further legislation is needed for the
suppression of outrages, I say, respectfully, tba:
I know of no farther legislation in addition to
that already suggested. It is evident that the
late deliberate murders were perpetrated to hide,
in the graves of the victims of the assassins, ali
traces of former crimea by preventing th6
recognition of those engaged in them. It is of
the utmost importance that measures should be
adopted not only to deter :he turbulent from
committing crime, butto punish with the severest
penalties those guilty of such outrages upon civ?
ilization. Of such measures I deem none of such
Importance as the election of an efficient pre?
siding judge in the. place of Judge Vernon, for
that .district. I would suggest the consolidation
of all those counties into one judicial district, and
appeal to the Legislature that, in their oboice, all
party prejudices and personal preferences be Bet
aside, and that they select a man whose character
ls a guarantee for the' faithful performance of his
duty.
I have forwarded the resolution adopted by
the General Assembly to the General Government,
and have little doubt that the request will be
granted by sending a sufficient force to garrison
these counties. I have confidence that the civil
law will be amply sufficient to give protection.
The Senate rejected the House resolution to
send a committee to washington, and passed a
r?solution instructing the representatives at the
capital to lay the matter before the President and
transmit' a copy of the resolutions adopted.
The House passed a bill re-establishing the
usury laws, by a vote of seventy-six ta sixteen;
also the Yemassee Railroad bill, and the bi Ire-*|
newing the charter of Mount Pleasant. Tue reso?
lution providing for two sessions each day waa
rescinded.

COLUMBIA, February li.
The excitement following the news from
TJ^on, at first immense, ls now somewhat subshf
ing, and everybody is inquiring Into the necessi?
ties of the case? Resolutions were adopted to?
day, both in the Senate and Bouse, appointing a
joint committee to walt upon his Excellency tine
Governor, to Inquire what action ls necessary on
the part of the General Assembly Tor the protec?
tion or IThe people In the upper counties and the.
preservation of peace. The committee waited on
the Governor about two o'olock, and discussed
the matter fully. The proposition ot .ending
militia was .rejected, and his ExceL'eoey finally
concluded to think over the affair and semi h.*
conclusions in writing to the General Assembly, '1
and so informed the gentlemen. He also advised
them to select a committee, Irrespective of poli?
tics, to proceed to Washington and present a true
statement to the authorities of the state of affairs
In this State, and-to request the Immediate pres?
ence or troops. Resolutions to that etlect were I J
subsequently offered in both Houses, and made ' 1
the special order for tomorrow. The Governor
throws somewhat of blame upon the Senate for j1
their sluggish action on the resolution calling on | '
the general government for protection. '

inseoure, and asked for their removal to quarters | ;
of safety. The petition was granted and ihe writ

sheriff appeared before him, stating he had not <
been served with a rule to show Qaus>e, and ten- i

WASHINGTON, February 14.
The President allowed the test oath bill DD
become a law without his signature. He says: "ir
thia were a bill repeal trig the test oath required of
persons appointed or elected to offices of prefix or
honor, it would meet my approval. The eflect of j
this law, however, is to relieve from taking a pre- I
scribed oath all those persons whom lt was ic- .1
tended to exclude from such offices, and to re
quire it from all others. By this law, the soldier j
who fought and bled for his country ls to swear

A BRUTAL OUTRAGE.
Shooting of the Engineer of the Green?
ville Train.
[From the Columbia Phoenix or yesterday.]
A terrible outrage was committed, yester?
day morning, which will probably cause the loss
of tlie life or an elderly and industrious, straight?
forward citizen-Mr. Archie Gribble, an engineer
on the Greenville and Columbia Railroad. Shortly
after the passenger train went out yesterday
morning, a construction train also departed.
When mis train neared Smith'B branch trestle,
the engineer discovered a mau ou the track;
he immediately blew his whistle, when the Indi?
vidual (who carried a double-barreled gun) went
down the embankment, and as the train
passed, deliberately discharged both barrels Into
the cab-wounding the engineer, Mr. Gribble,
fatally, as ls supposed-one charge striking him
in the face, as be looked from the wiudow; the
two firemen were also slightly in|ure<i. Both or
Mr. Cribble's eyes were put out, and his face so
disfigured as to tie unrecognizable. Arter firing,
the tuan walked aJsnort durance, wheu lie .-top
pel and reloaded his gun. As soon a* po-slblc,
Hie train was reversed and backed to Columbia,
where the wounded man was properly cared for.
Sherill Frazee was promptly nowie t, when he 1
immediately summoned a posse and pro?
ceeded to the spot where the outrage was ?
commited. Tracks were disco vere : and fol?
lowed upa road leadiug into the Winn-boro' road,
Jirectly opposite ihe residence of Mr. Hornsby,
:ibou. three miles from Columbia, AS ihe trucks
corresponded with the shoes of Mr. winiam
Uorusby, the sheriff arrested him and brought him
to Columbia, Mr. ii. signifying his willingness to
accompany him, although persist log in his Inuo
.euee of the crime. The prisoner had an exami?
nation before Trial Justice Solomon in the after?
noon. It ls generally believed that Mr. H. will !
prove an alibi, aa ne is known to be an honest,
quiet, upright mau. It ls hoped the perpetrator
or tba outrage will be discovered, and made to
pay the just penalty of his crime.
OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
The Tennessee-Repeal of the Test Oath
-Prospects of the New Loan-The Ta
ney Fund-The International Com
mission-Income Tax, ?Sic.
[PROM OUR OWN^CORREsTONDENT.]
WASHINGTON, February IL
The sensations created by the rumors
Cabinet changes have* paled before those attend
lng the rumors and apprehensions concerning the
sarety of the steamer Tennessee, with its precious
fre'ight of San Domingo commissioners and we
known newspaper meo, to say noshing of her of?
ficers and crew. As yet there are no apprehen
slobs In official circles of disaster, bat neverthe
less there ls a most earnest anxiety to hear from
her. The President ls now in daily"expectation
of news, and representative* of this government
In the West Indies have been directed to comma
nlcateany reports concerning her at the earliest
possible moment. ,?t> *
There ts now some speculation a9 to the fate of
the bill to-repeal the tesr oath. ?s it did not
reach the president until two or three days after
its passage he will have longer constitutional
dmit within which to sign it-If so he intends to
do-than was at first supposed. 1 can assert
with official sanction that there ls no intention to
veto lt, unless the President permits the present
status of his internions to be changed; but as
heretofore indicated lu this correspondence, there
are st.ll reasons for thinking that the repeal will
become a law by expiration of time,
Mr. Boutweil ls highly encouraged at the flat
terlng prospects of the new loan. Bankers from
various parts of the country, and even from
Eurone, have communicated with him, both by
mah and telegraph, assuring him that he can
rely upon a speedy and complete subscription
Ten-forties have already gone up, and it ls be
lieved at the treasury department that ali other
classes of United States bonds will have thel
values enhanced under thc present influenc?s.
Tue meeting of members of the bar of the Su
preme Court of the United States to-day, with
reference to the Taney fund, argofB happily for
the finer feelings of former associates of the de
cet sed jurist. The eulogiums passed upon his
clmracteras aoitiz-:-nas well as a distinguished
lawyer, form a bright contrast with the mouth
inga-and rantings which wc are accustomed to
hear from the politicians of the d*y.
Trouble ls anticipated In the first meetings ol
the commission to regulate the differences ex
istlng between England and the United States, as
it ls believed that the representatives ol Great
britain will Introduce claims arising out of Fe
nian incursions.
It ls considered certain that the Income tax will
not be repealed during the present session of Con
gress. The Indications are that there will be at
least twenty-Ure majority against it in the Bouse

It resists drought in all cases. The crop is not affected by rust
It matures the crop three to four weeks in advance, thoa Insuring the crop against early fro tts, Or

Looking at the low price of Cotton, the intelligent planter will readily comprehend the necessity
