On the 1st of January, 1871, a syndicate of young men waa iormed, one of whom, the most trustworthy of them, was appointed treas? urer. They then signed a temperance pledge and agreed to deposit on tte first day of each month ten dollars each, to be divided at tte end of the year, among those members who j remained faithful to their obligation. One by one they fainted and (eli, until at tte expira? tion ot tte specified time there was on'y one j who had not yielded to the liquid temptation. He repaired at tte hour of noon on New Year's Day to the appointed place of rendez? vous to receive tte fourteen hundred and for? ty dollars which he had so nobly earned. But ! tte otter eleven were not there, so. full of fiery thirst, he hastened lo a neigh boring f saloon to take bis first nip lora twelvemonth. He bad partially swallowed lt when ten of his colleagues entered, and revealed to him tte horrifying fact that his watch was twenty minutes to? last He, too, had Stilen, and the vision of a wei.-fnied pocketbook vanished. The eleven then repaired to the offlce or the treasurer, only to learn that he had lost all the money playing draw-poker with one of the church trustees. An effort ls now being made to keep tte sorrowful story out ol' the newspapers. . . -Brooklyn, New York, had another- escit "ing tragedy on Friday, crowding th the-heels of. tte mysterious pa?ormo murder, in the killing of George W. Watson, by aprettyjoong English wc^mioy Mre^Hyde. Watson was'a manufacturer ol women's hair nets. H? bad sold ant his business for twenty thousand doi?ws, aad was working up the remains of his stock on hand. 8everal women were In his employ, of whom Mrs. Hyde was one. As one of her iellow-workmen returned lo the shop from dinner, ehe saw Mrs. Hyde Etaodlngon one of the landiogs wringing her hands. She said she had killed Watson. Mr. Plxley, father in-law to deceased, was called. Wateon was found lying at the foot of a flight ot stairs, I shot in the head. He was still breathing, bat | died In a.few minutes afrer heiD? picked up. In the excitement Mrs. Hyde Blipped out and went home. Her husband was notified bf.the tragedy, and together they went to the police station, .wheresMrs. Hyde gave herself up. She handed the o Ulcer In charge a four-bar? relled Sharp's revolver, saying she bad shot Mr. Watson. To a reporter she slated that she waa nineteen years ot age; had been In this country two and a half years; had worked for Watson- most of that time; he had seduced her; a few months ago ehe married Hyde; Wat? son had since persecuted her with attentions, and threatened to expose her; this made her Ute unbearable, and on Friday she had put the pistol in ber pocket; Watson renewed bis pro? posais to her; she endeavored -to repulse him, and npon his crowding her into it corner drew the pistol and fired.; Watson ls a native of Connecticut, ioriy-flve years ol age, and Lad a .wife and family. On Saturday the: coroner's inquest began. By advics of counsel Mrs. Hyde declined to make any statement. Tb? Cumulative Vote. We think that we have a right to ask that the two or three interior papers which do j not support the proposed law authorizing cumnlatrve voting ; shall ? either advance j well-considered objections to the principle upon which -the law is based,'or shall re? man? silent and allow the advocates of the measure to us? their best endeavors, with? out discourage meut, to in 3 aro its speedy adoption. ^ Although it may not long remain so, the J dividing political line in South Carolina; at f this, time, ls toe line of race. There are 30,000 more colored voters in the State than white voters. A few of the upper counties have white majorities, bnt in the middle and lower part of toe State the whites are in the minority. Take Charleston Coan ty, as an example. The colored majority in the coun? ty is so great that the 25,000 whites in the City of Charleston are not able to secare even one member of the Legislature, out of the twenty Senators arid Representatives whom the county electa. Now, there ts only one way in which this gross injustice can, at present, be "remedied, viz: By adopting the the plan of cumulative voting, which ena? bles the minority, in any county, to com? mand their, ju?t share of repr?sentation, by massing their vote upon a number of candi? dates bearing the proportion to the whole number to be elected which the minority bear to the whole voting population. And wo say here, once more, that we do not ad? vocate minority representation merely be? cause, ia South Carolina, the Conserva ti vea are in the minority. We believe the princi? ple to be jost, and we urge its universal ap? plication as the only practical check which has been devised to prevent the whole, coun? try from being destroyed by the uncontrolled tv runny of majorities, nader the operation Of universal suffrage. -There aro, as we know too well, peculiar reasons why the rale of the majority in this State; is harder to bear than In Virginia or New York. The ignorant voters are more ! largely in the majority in South Carolina than ia any other State of the Union. Through the Incapacity and vice of the leaders of the majority, the public peace is destroyed and the public credit is gone. So fearful, indeed, are the evils of the present j condition of Ihlogs that all the mo3t Intelli? gent Republicans ia the State, and all the Radical. presses, have joined the Conserva? tive press, at o ne time or other, io advising ith? Legislature to frame a cumulative voting law. And, with proper effort, such ? law caa be passed. ! A member of the Senate has proposed a constitutional amendment engrafting the cumulative voting principle upon the or? ganic law. We cordially support this amendment, because we desire to have pro? portional representation BO secured to the minority, whoever they may be, that oo elo? gie Legislature shall be able to strip them ol it Bot, as we have before explained, tliia constitutional amendment cannot, if I adopted, go into operation until the General Elections of 1874, while the grievous necessi? ties of the public require that the law shall go into operation at once, aod that the elections of October next be held under its wise provisions. , We, . therefore, urge the legislature to pass a simple act of Assem? bly similar to the constitutional amendment proposed ia the Senate. The amendment, which should, also, be passed, wilKbe voted on this fall, aod will show the sober decision of the people upon the subject; and the Legislature of 1872-74 can, If the constitu? tional amendment be rejected, repeal the act of Assembly, aod return to the old plan. Our whole argument upon this point is con? fined to the plain statement that the greater the need of a system which gives the minori? ty their share of representation, the greater the folly of waiting until 1874 for what can be had in 1872. ; . : There is surely ia the House or the Senate a member patriotic enough to introduce a bill for the adoption of cumulative voting. The first step is the hardest I Time presses. Bat if the bill be introduced without delay, it caa be fairly considered aod become a law before the session shall close. The Protective Uses of Vaccination, The small-pox, which is spreading with terrible rapidity ia the North aod West, bas obtainer, us yet, no foothold io Charleston. As a precautionary measure, however, it is advisable that every person should be vac? cinated-those who were vaccinated some time ago, as well as those who have never adopted this armor of proof against the worst attacks of a loathsome and terrible disease. The following statistics on the subject of vaccination are taken from an Essay on Vaccination by Edward Ballard, M. D., Uoiversity College, Londoo. They show, in no unmistakable way, the im? mense power of vaccination in reducing the mortality by small-pox. We desire to direct public attention especially to the paragraphs relating to re-vaccination, and to the com muoicatioo of other diseases by vaccloa tioo. For these extracta frcm Dr. Ballard's essay, we are Indebted to tho courtesy of ppft George S.;Pelzer, the Cltylteglstrar: 1. As regards the decreased^ortsuty irom small-pox since the introduction of vaccina? tion: In London, from 1760-to 1800, 9.C per cent, of all the deaths were from small-pox. As vaccination became more extensively prac? ticed, the deaths from small-pox decreased as' follows: From 1810 to 1820, 4.2 per cent. ; 1820 to 1830, 3.2 per cent.'; 1830 to 1840, 2.3 per cent.; 1840 to 1850/1.8 per cent; 1850 to 1860, 1.2 per cent. In Austria, Prussia, France, Denmark: and the British Islands, the decrease has been strongly marked. We give that of Austria, as the dates are more uniform than elsewhere: AVERAGE ANNUAL DEATH-RATE FROM 8HALL-POX PER MILLION OF POPULATION. ! ?1777 to 1806.' 1807 to 1850.

As Regards Vaccination.-In Wurtem? berg, in five years, among 84,248 re-vatol nated adults, there were but two cases of J small-pox, while among 363,298 adults having been vaccinated in infancy only, there were 1058 cases. One successful re-vaccination at or alter puberty is all that ls required to sup? plement the Infantile vaccination. This is attested by the exp?rience ot many physi? cians, and many statistics too scattered to be quoted here.. The cicatrix should be well marked. ..4. As Regards the' Communication of other ? Diseases by Face ?nat ion.-Numerous Eng? lish, French and German physicians, some of whom have vaccinated over forty thousand children each, testify that they have never ) known a case of such communication. A few physicians-testify to a few Isolated cases of the contrary. It they exist, therefore, they j must be;extremely rare. But there ls reason to suppose that, in these cases, the disease has' been communicated otherwise, for cer? tain French and- German . physicians have tried to communicate syphilis and scrofula in tills way, and have failed in every case.

Victor Place, late? ly the French Consul at New York, has been condemned by the French authorities to two years' imprisonment and a heavy fine-as an? nounced by ?able-was that; during the Fran? co-German war, he made large purchases of guns and ammunition for his government, and charged percentages upon them. He* j was tried. Xor malfeasance In office io having j thUB acted, and, In defence, pleaded-unsuc? cessfully, as it appears-that he believed him Belt to be entitled to these percentages. We have men in office who are known to be fir more guilty than was M. Place in his gun | operations, but, unlike the French Govern-j ment in the matter of. their offending officials, j our government rarely takes steps to bring j them to justice. Tbe Gem of the Antilles. A howl comes from the Spanish Cortes. Senor Diaz Quinten ventured the opinion that | the time had come when Cuba must be ceded to the United States, and forthwith the House j rose : at him, and wi'h howls pnt him down. But lhere are many things which do not yield, to noise, however violent; and having once aired such treasonable matter In the Parlia? ment of Spain, the proposition assumes a reality and a probability that it never beiore possetsed. The exceeding sensitiveness of the official Spanish mind on the question or parting with Cuba was shown quite recently in the statement which the Minister of For? eign Affairs, at that time, requested from Mr. Sickles and spread before the people, to the effect that he had never entertained the pro? position of sale for a moment. Nevertheless, the matter has found discussion, and the talk must have become loud and general before a deputy in the Cortes could bring his mind to the point of openly urging ir. Cuba ls too tat a possession to be parted with in an easy way; bot it ls a never-ending Bource of trou? ble, with the dang% Increasing every year. The Cortes may howl, but lt will not liighten backward the footsteps of "manifest des? tiny." The Lantern. Tbis i j the name of a new weekly paper pub? lished at Bock Alli, S.
