? zy' mt VCLUME IX.-NUMBER 1967 CHARLESTON WEDNESDAY MORNING, MAY 1, 1872. EIGHT DOLLARS A YEAR. TEE POUTICAL PKOBLEII. A DISCUSSION OF THE SITUATION. The Chances of Effecting Reform AV hat Would be the Effects of a Change of Administration-A. Final Recom? mendation. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS. SIR-In the article which by your indulgence yesterday appeared in THE NEWS, it was argued that the sending or delegates to Bait!, more, as is proposed, would Involve the white people of the State in the dilemma of having either to conform to the decision of that con? vention or to annonoce beforehand their pur. pose not to do so. It was also argued that the movemenls now on foot will inevitably revive the party feel? ings of 1868, so disastrous to the State, and that the very same reasons which existed in 1870 for avoiding parly issues are more strong? ly operative.now. Upon these grounds it was concluded that both the success of the Cincinnati movement and the prospects ot reform in South Carolina wou'l be injuriously affected If a State dele n should be sent to Baltimore, resuming the topic lt may be assumed that the primary ancTparamount consideration with all the people of Sooth Carolina 1?, or ought to be, a good local government; that the chief political question for them ls, or ought to be, bow to secure the needed reforms in the most certain manner; and that the only practi? cal measures they can favor will be such as aim at the accomplishment of this purpose. It may also be assumed that in the present political condition of the State the reformation, of the local government cannot be effected,' unless In the absence of party contests a coali? tion be formed especially for the purpose em? bracing all the good citizens, without distinc? tion of party or race. If this be BO, what chance will there be ot effecting any reform at all, or even of attempt? ing a combination for that purpose, while the white people of the State are reviving tbeir Democratic organizations under the old lead? ers, and renewing their affiliations with the National Democracy ? Is lt not certain that these proceedings mu9t re-establish the old antagonisms of party ? But lt may be said that all this will be neu? tralized by the action ot the Baltimore Con? vention. That the adoption ot the Cincinnati platform and the nomination of Greeley and Brown will purge the movement of its tai ut of Democracy, and that thus a door of reconcili? ation between whites and blacks will be opened. Unfortunately this cannot eland scrutiny, for none can doubt that the only point at issue between the Cincinnati and Philadelphia wings ol tiie Republican party, which excites any In? terest here, is that as to the enforcement act Bat this ls Just precisely the Issue which if in* trod need here will widen the breach between tbe races, extend and confirm the Influence ot the most extreme and Impracticable men on both side?, and utterly destroy every reason? able hope of bringing about harmony among ri our people, and such mutual confidence be? tween the races as Is universally, recognized to be essential to thc political reform ot the State, and the peace, happiness and prosperity of her population. Bot lt the movements , referred to will cer? tainly defeat all hope of reform through the .State elections In October, do they promise us compensation through the instrumentality of the Presidential election ? Take the most ex? treme supposition. Suppose the Presidential election turned upon the nomination at Balti? more, and this'depended solely upon tbe cast? ing vote of the South' Carolina delegation, and that this vote being given for Greeley and Brown, they come In due time Into office. Now, what will this delegation have wally ac? complished for themselves, their Immediate constituents, or the people of the State gene? rally ? Some changes may occur among Federal office-holders, but even If the new ap? pointees should be acceptable, which is to be very much doubled, the result would b" greatly out of proportion with its cost to us. None can suppose that the mere moral force of Hr. Greeley's election will constrain the State officials here to become different from what they are, or that a klostof subtle Influ? ence will be radiated from Washington, which, penetrating the Republican party here, will purify it by converting Its dishonest elements or eliminating them. 1 IT anything practical In the way of local re? form can be expected from Mr. Greeley's ad? ministration lt must be looked for In some other than a supernatural way-but what otber way ls there? First, the Cincinnati platform forbids the President or Congress to meddle at all In State affairs. Secondly, Mr. Greeley, If untrue to his principles, must be supported by appropriate Congressional le? gislation. Thirdly, if both tbe President and Congress collude to do what lt ls Intended to make-7 the Baltimore Convention declare un? constitutional, namely, to interfere with the' regularly constituted autuorltles of a State, what can they do that will be beneficial > Usurped powers can generally be used to op? press and injure, but never to reform and benefit. If we do net reform our State Government, and Improve our local administration at the polls lu October next, they will not be and cannot be altered after the 4th of March. If we run mad after tbe Liberal Republican declaration against the enforcement act, we sell ourselves to a new party lor the only political concession that is not only absolutely valueless to us, (since the public sentiment of the country bas already condemned it,) but which carries with it the elements of domestic dissension and disorder. If we revive the Democratic party In South Carolina, we prolong the hopeless struggle which has brought us to our present con. dltion. What, then, shall we do ? With all diffidence, I recommend 1st. That we make no organization whatever, and have no meetings or conventions, and conduct no discussions concerning tbe Presi? dential election. It is a matter in which we are powerless to accomplish anything, in which our interest is,remote and minute, and about which we really know little, and may well care less. 2d. That In the calm thus produced good citizens use their beat exertions to harmonize old antagonisms, to Improve the character ot the local officials and members of the Legisla? ture to be chosen in October, and to bring into tbe public service at home or in Congress the best of the available men. Respectfully, W. L. T. THE NEW YORK STRIKERS. NEW YORK, May SI. The Coach Painters'Association vut?d last night to strike on Monday for elsbt hours, ?he chairman of tbe furniture manufactuiers states in a card that not one of the ninety three firms in the lurolture trade have agreeo lp the eight hour system, and will adhere to Teri hours. THE DISGUST OF GRANT. Last Days of the Session-Failure of the Bayonet Bill-The Fickle Forney Greeley Stock Rising Fast. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] WASHINGTON, D. C., May 28. As foreshadowed in my last letter, Coogrees bas postponed the final adjournment until the 3d proximo, the business or the session being BO great as to preclude an earlier adjournment. One reason for this postponement is the overweening desire of the administration Rad? icals to procure, ir possible, the passage by the House of the odious law which has got through the Senate, to continue the Ku-Elux bayonet law In force until the end or the next session. Notwithstanding the signal failure that attended the attempt yesterday to suspend the rules in the House in order to take up and pass this diabolical measure or oppression and tor lure, lc ls still hoped by some species ol' trick? ery to obtain its passage during the last nours of the session. But the Democratic and Lib? eral Republican members who have hitherto united io prevent its consl terat on, will un? derstand the game which is intended lo be played, and will not be likely to be caught napping, and the chances are much more than ever mat Congress will adjourn slue die ou the 30th proximo, without giving Hie malicious Radicals in that body an opportunity to furth? er prosecute their schemes ol' small spite against eight million of oppressed Americans in the Southern Stales. Should Ulis good for? tune obtain, lhere ls an end of sumptuary legislation, for there will never another. Con? gress assemble in tin national capital that will MItfer so devilish a piece ot haiefui tyran? ny to be perpetrated. When the President I was Informed last evening of the failure to obtain a suspension of the rules on this bill he tn am tested the utmost perturbation and | evinced In a very lively, and lt ls said, pro? fane, way his displeasure and disappointment. He was very arish us to know the names of] the members who were patriotic and manly enough to vote against this scheme for keep lng tue Sou;h initier the rule of the Federal bayonet until after the next Presidential elec? tion, and when Informed of the serong ma? jority against the scheme, Irs distrust was so Ill-concealed as to show plainly how much he had counted upon Hie perpetuation of Hie bayonet power io enforce the elections this fall In his own favor. But thanks be Jehovah the niroclous came to re-elect him? self by such base means" is lost, and the South will tills fall have an opporluoltv to vole her j honest sentiments ut the election polls unac? companied by i he flash of bayonets and gillier of epaulets. One fact In relation to the Impending can? vass bas cropped out during the past week, which demonstrates better ihan any other cir? cumstance to what desperate straits the ad? ministration managers are reduced In order io keep tbe rank and file In line. Forney has been "seen'' again, and the great conundrum ls to find out what Inducement has been offer? ed him to bring him back Into (be Grant har? nea-'. One week ugo, be wrote Hie leading editorial io the Washington Sunday Cronlcle, in which the country waa given io understand pretty plainly Ulal lie had aoandoned the great present-taker io b*is late. Last Sunday, how? ever, the same paper contained an editorial bearing his unmistakable ear-marks, ia which there was evident a strong disposition to re? cant the senilmente of the previous article. Il ls stated in certain quarters that there ls to be a new minister to Spain, appointed ns soon as Sickle? gets back lo the United States. Also that the Pre-ideiit is nissaii-fled wlih the romner in which the affairs of the Russian mission have been managed. Another story ls to the effect that one or more enantes will 8oou be made In the Cabinet, ail ot which point to the reward walch is Mire io follow upon the re-adheslon of Forney to the Grant dynasty. Any one of these snug things would, doubileap, be a great J temptation to the Pennsylvania editor, but be j wants something.?lea more man ho want? any of the above places, and that is to be a United Slates senator, for the attainment of which po.-ltion he has bent his active energies for J several years. And those who expect to see him cordially support Gram's, re-eleciion will yet be disappointed, unless Hie President shall conclude to throw Cameron overboard In or? der to gratify Mr. Forney's desires. This lt Is Improbable that Grant can afford to do In the present condition ot Penn-v?vanla politics, and those who know Colonel Ferney well are wil? ling to slake money on the chances that the j Press will yet come out boldly for*Greeiey aud an honest administration of tue government The political atmosphere here ls compound? ed of many conflict! lg elements Just now, acd the immediate future portends much to excite anxiety on the part of those who have thu best interests of ihe whole country at heart. The great Democratic parly is In a try? ing position, and only wauls, io be proper.y directed to be able to achieve a victory over | wroug-mlnded und corrupt administration ot the naiiooal affairs. Tho present ls the golden opportunity for a moral revolu? tion which shall overthrow and overwhelm the minions of a selfish, Jobbing, narrow minded, centralizing and unli-Republican pow? er, which has loo long kept the North and South asunder. The opportunity ls with the Democratic party. What will they do with li ? Let the response come with the Baltimore Convention. A cheering circumstance, as in? dicating the good sense of tbe Democrats in all sections ot the country, ls the fact that b*K J three Democratic papers of any Influence In the whole United ?tates have manifested a decided opposition to the Cincinnati move? ment, and one of them (the World) has re senily announced that lt will support Greeley j il endorsed by the Baltimore Convention, though opposed to such endorsement. But while the Democrats who held out for a Demo? cratic Uckel at Baltimore un the ground that the amnesty act Just passed has given Ihem additional voles enough to elect such a ticket, lt should be rembembered that those votes are all lu states where there are now D?mo? crate maj irllles, and ihat .the augmented vole will give the eleclral college no addi? tional Democratic member*. Therefore lo de? feat Grant it ls absolute y Indespen a'.)le io sup? port a Ucket which wi il carry the war against bim Into the great Middle and Western si ates where the chances are doubtful, aud where the defeat of the Grant electoral ticket will be an advantage gained against him. This ls comparatively an easy task now, with so popu? lar a candidate as Greeley to work for, and only needs the application of a Utile common sense to the management of the canvass to accomplish. Despite the rallying cries of the administration cohorts Greeley cains strength with ihe people every hour, and nothing shoit j of a miracle can pruvent his election in No-1 vember. _ _ _ N.

THE CAUSES OF ORGANIC EVOLUTION. Darwin Defended - Nature a Great I Stock-Breeder-The Antiquity of Man -The Melado II s li lp of Apes to Men Civilization the Chief Tendency of Man's Development. A very interesting lecture on Darwinism was delivered recently by Professor John Fiske, in New York City. In speaking of the origin and progress of Mr. Darwin's investiga? tions, he noted with admiration the earnest? ness and patience which enabled that eminent savant to labor for twenty-two years upon his theories without publication. We give some extracts from the lecture as we find it reported in the New York Tribune: KNOWN FACTS OF ADAPTIVE ALTERATIONS. Mr. Darwin. In explaining the evolution of higher frcm lower forms ot life, appeals only to agencies which are Rilli visibly in action. Whether species in a state ol'nature are chang? ing or not at the present lime, cannot be deter? mined by direct observation,any more than the motion of the hour-hand of a cluck could be detected by gazing at it for one second. But there are innumerable cases in which species are made to change rapidly through the de? liberate Intervention of-man. Modifications In the specific characters of dornest le .ted or? ganisms are the only ones which take place so rapidly that we actually observe them; and the agency which produces these modifica? tions ls selection, taking advantage of this Blight but universal variation in organisms Implied by thc luci that no two individuals In any species are exactly alike. By selecting and pairing, lor many generations, the finest specimens ol the different races of domestic aulmals, man produces breeds refined, per? fected, and often entirely unlike the original ones. Vegetable organisms are also perfect- ( ed and changed by artificial selection. Mr. Darwin's great achievement hos been to show that a similar process of selection going on tiirodffhout the organic world without the knowledge or intervention of man, tends not '. only to maintain, but lo produce adaptive al? terations in plants and animals. HOW THE INCREASE WAS KEPT WITHIN BOUNDS. The process is a sim?le one when once we have the clue lo lt. All plants and animals tend lo Increase In a high geometrical ratio, and the old problem of the nails in the norse's shoe teaches us what an astounding affair ls a geometrical rate of Increase. A plant yielding one hundred seeds yearly would In twenty years, If all the seeds were to reach mai HI i ty, produce ten duodecimo ns of adult plants 1 It ls probable that the un checked reproduction of many Insects, crus? taceans and fishes, could not long go on without requiring the assimilation ot a greater quantity of mailer than is contained m the wnole solar system. We may now bealn falnily to realize how prodigious ls the' slaughter which unceasingly goes on through? out the organic world. Deadly battles liuve been incessantly waged on every square mlle nf the earth's life-bearing surface vince lile first began. It ls only thus thal the enormous 1 Increase ol each species has been kept within 1 bounds. Of the many offspring produced by l each niant and animal, save in ibe case of those In (he highest seale, but fewattalu matu- 1 rity and leave offspring behind them, lu this struggle for existence, a few favored ones In each generation survive and propagate In their offspring the qualities by virtue tf which they have sur? vived. Thus we see what Is meant by "natu? ral selection " The organisms which survive and propagate their kind are those which are best adapted io the conditions In which (hey . live; so that we may, by a legitimate use ul j metaphor, personily nature as a mighty breeder, selecting irora each gcncratlou those ! Individuals which are fleetest, strongest, most , sagacious, lions wini sunniest muscleB, wolves ! wit? keenc-tl Bcent, flowers with sweetest ( necf ir-until in tho Oouroo of , uotold nges; j iho numberless varilles of organic life have been produced by the same process of which , man now takes advantage, iu order to pro duce variations to suit his own caprices. Be? tween natural selection and selection by man, , there ls, however, one Important diff?rence. ? Selection hy man tends to produce varieties , adapted to satisfy human necessities or indi- | DBI ion, and it has no direct relerence to the { maintenance < f the species. But natural j selection, working with the sternest ol tneih- ( ods, saves (rom toe general slaughter only , ihose individuals whtcn can best i ke care ol , themselves, and thus maintains each species , in adaptation to Its environment. CIRCUMSTANCES ALTER CASES. I If the conditions of the earth, the at mos < phere, and ihe solar radiance were every- < where lo remain forever unaltered, and if 1 each race of plants und animals were always ' lo remain confined to one limited area, ail I variations on either side of the well-adjusted J mean would be mcewanily cut off hy naiural 1 selection, and species would be immutable, i But constant changes have been going on < ever since our planet first became flt lo sup- . port organic lite; no part of Hie earth's sur . lace ls now, or ever has been, at rest; the In- 1 tensity of solar radiance and the density of at- I mosphere are ever altering, and every species < of plant and animal ls continually pressing < upon me limbs uf the area within which Iis ls I confined. Such chun jes In ihe conditions of < life preclude th? possibility of organisms re- I maining constant and living. A race ot ani- < mais or plants In which no Individuals ever I varied wouid sooner or later Inevitably be ex- I terminated, leaving no progeny. Ooscrvu- < lion chows that, there Is uo such race. The : members of each species are ever slightly I varying, but so long as the environment re- < mains constant, nm ural selection prevents < the variations trom accumulating un 1 either side ol the mean which is mo.-t I advantageous to the species. When the < environment changes, if certain variations ' on one sido of the established mean tend to 1 bring the individ?ala which manifest them < Into closer adaptation to ihe new environ- ' ment, these individuals will survive In ihe . struggle for Hie, and thus the average ch arne- < ter of ihe species will be slightly altered. Tne 1 amount of variation, uni? preserved aud en- i hanced, must In the course of long ages be- I come enormous. But these changes directly caused by natural selection are greatly aided and emphasized by other changes Indirectly produced by what ls called the law of use and . disuse, anti by correlation of growth, or Inter? nal equilibration-the effect produced upon any part of the organism by change in a re? lated or neighboring part. The disuse ol' any physical power or any member, und the changes In all parts of an animal's frame whicn would be brought about by a change in ! one part caused by natural selection, cannot fall io modify the entire structure, tempera? ment and mode of life. Even such a slignt change as an increased thickness ol the woolly coal of mammals may, by altering the excre? tory power of the skin, affect the functions ol the lungs, liver and kidneys, and thus in? directly increase or diminish ihu size ot the animal, which, In turo, will monlfy Its speed, its muscular development, Us mental facul? ties, und lt* habits ot life. StAN COMPARED WITH APES. That man, considered from a purely zoolo? gical point of view, differs much lens from I he higher apes than tli.se differ Irom Hie lower Is generally (acknowledged by natural? ists, yet there are sundry respects in which man has become very widely differentiated from the highest ol'apes. The social leelings, the use ol articulate language, tne coustruc too of tool?, habitations and clothing, and the increased ability to adapt lils actions to future contingencies, are obviously depend? ent upon the relatively great size and com? plexly of ihe upper lobes ol his brain. The probable action of natural selection upon i he brain ls,therefore, Ihe most interesting and Important point connecied with the origin of mankind. Mr. Darwin shows lhai the higher apes manifest certain social feelings, as sym? pathy and fidelity; lhat ihey employ stones and clubs as weapons in fighting, besides using Blicks as levers, and stones as ham? mers, and that without possessing articulare speech, they aro nevertheless able lo cm mu?iente with each oilier by means ofertes and ??estiires. From ihese contemporary apes the earliest known man would seem to have d:'ff red in little save greater cranial capacity, implying, doubtless, un increased power ot social combination, and perhaps ihe ability to chip the scones used for tools and weapons. Whether the earliest man possessed articulate language or not cannot be determined. But granting a race ol ape-like men or man like apes, such as natural selection might have developed- from ancient apes no higher lhan the modern chim? panzee or oran?, we note how In course of lime the aciion of natural selection would be more and more confined to modifying ihe cer? ebral structure of Hie race. Among the lower animal*, even those which are gregarious, the pr?servai ion of any Individual depends almost entirely upon his phjalcal an ap lallon to sur? rounding circumstances. There ls so little division ol labor, and so Hule mutual assis? tance, that all must be capable who would survive. With me earliest manifestations of I true snclety this state of things ls somewhat f altered. Even in tne rudest actual or Imagin? able society lhere is sume division of labor and some mutual assisi Rn ce-so that those who fall below ihe average capability of the race are no longer sure to be prematurely cat off, and thus ihe agency of natural selection In keeping up a uniform standard of Illness ls to Borne exteut checked. In tho highly complex societies which we call civilized, divinion ol labor and co-operaiion have greaily obscured the effects of this ag-ney. But as naiurul selec? tion among Individuals grows leas.-rigorous, its effects upon rival or antagonist societies become more marked. The ut rlbutes which tend to make a society strong and durable, with reference to surrounding societies ure the attributes which natural selection will now Chiefly favor. A new consideration Is ihls: Interior animals respond chiefly to changes In their environment, and hence natural se? lect lon deals chiefly with euch chang?e, to the visible modi Heat ion ol their bodily structure. PROBABLE RAPIDITT OP CEREBRAL DEVELOP? MENT. But when an animal has once appeared en-1 dowed with sufficient Intelligence to chip a st ine tool and hurl a weapon, natural selection will take advantage of variations in this intel? ligence to ihe neglect of purely physical varia? tions. Communities whoso members nre best able to meet by Intelligent contrivances ibe Changea In the environment, will prevail over oiher communities, und will be less easily de? stroyed by physical catastrophes. So soon, In short, as the Intelligence of an animal has through ages of adaptation and selection be? come so considerable that a Blight variation In lt Is of more uso lo the animal than any variation In physical struct ure, then such vari? ation win be more and more constantly select? ed, while physical variations, being of less vital importance to the species, will be more and more neglected. Thus, while the exter? nal appearance of such au animal, and his Internal nm rr Ive and muscular apparatus may vary but little lu many ages, his intel? lectual and moral attributes and his cerebral structure will vary with comparative rapidity. We may now understand why man differs so little In general physical structure and exier nal appearance from the chimpanzee and the gorilla, while in the special points of cerebral st mclure and accompanying intelligence he differs so vasily from them. The cranial capacity of mau varies from one hundred and fourteen cubic inches lu tue Teuton down to forty-six cubic inches In cen ai n Hindoo sk ods, presumably those ol aboilgmul non-Aryan Hindoos. But the average Australian skull has a capacity of from seveniy to seventy-nve cubic lue ties, while the cranial capacity of the gorilla does not exceed thlity-flve cubic | Inches. These lucie snow that willie tue dif? ference between thc cranial capacity of the highest and lowest man ls more lhan six times as great us ino difference between the cranial capacity ot the lowest nun and lhat ol the gorilla, nevertheless Hie Australian who can? not count beyond three-or tour has a brain case twice as large as the gorilla's. PROBABLE ANTIQUITY OF OUR RACE-THE FUTURE HAN. The extensive spreading of the human rAce Implies Us existence f om a date long anterior io Hie great glacial epucn, which cannot have been less Hun two hundred and fifty thousand years ago-Lyell thinks a million years ago wheo lt ls certainly koowu that men inhabited Europe and North America. Human bones and implements lately discovered are claimed aa belonging to the miocene epoch, and there Isa growing disposition among palooniolo-1 gists to place Ihe oilgln of man as tar back us this, though thu demonstration ol' Ibis aate cannot be.regarded as conclusive.- TuoAnlnl mum antiquity assignable fur the miocene is live millions yenrs. Since Hie period during which man hus posse-s-d sufficient Intent- i ?renee to leave a tniduiunal record of himself;] ls but a minute traction of ibe period during which he has existed upon the earth, it Is bm. fair to conclude lhat during these long ages, ot which none but a geologic record remains, he was slowly acquiring that superior in? telligence which now so widely distinguishes bim Hom other animals. Throughout an auormous period of lime his bralo-siruc ture and Hs correlated Intellectual and t'lnoUonnl functions must have been Cun-taut ly modified by adaptation anil by natural selec? tion, wiule Ins outward physical appearance has undergone few modlflcatn ns, an i ol lhe*e the most striking are consequent upon'ihe' cerebral changes. The m..st remarkable points of difference between civilized uud uncivilized man, as well as between man und '.ne Cnlm pauz-e, are the differences in Hie size of the taws and ihe inclination of Ihe forehead. The alter difference is directly consequent upon increased intelligence, and Hie former ls indi? rectly occasioned by the same circumstance. Pur the diminution in the jiws entailed by civilization is no doubt pi i mm I ly due lo a dls ,iae occasioned partly by difference In food and partly by the employment ol tools and the consequent increased reliance upon the hands is prehensile organs. And also increased routai development has Directly tended, by correlation of growth, to diminish the Oze ol .be Jaws, as weil as to push forward ihe bri 'ge sf me nose. lila a corollary.from tue fore? going arguments that no race can In future be croduced tn rough (he agency of natural selec? tor! abd' direct adaptation, which shall be soologically distinct 1 rom and superior to the in man race. As the same causes which physi? cally modify .lower species have for countless iges modified man directly in intelligence, ind only indirectly in physical constitution, lt lollows mat. mankind is destined io advance luring future ages In psychical attributes, but s likely to'nndeigo only ?light changes in out? ward appearance. It is by ibe co-oidluailon cf Intellectual and moral relations Hutt man maintains himself in equilibrium with physi? cal, Intellectual and morai relailons, arising lu lils ever-changing environment. And hence, in ihe future, as in the recent past, the dom? inant fact lu thc career ol'humanity Is not physical modification, but civilization. POLITICAL NOTE fi.

A New York firm has brought suit In Hie Supreme Coure, on behalf ol' some of Hie stock? holders of the Blue Ridge fluilroad Company of South Carolina, against the president und executive committee of the road. The offence charged is Hie misappropriation ol Ihe funds of ihe company, and the complaint alleges tnai In accordance with a bill passed by Ihe Sotilh Carolina Legislature last March, four hundred ihou-and dollars ol bonds of tue com? pany, guaranteed by the State, were exchang? ed lor revenue boud scrip, which WAS lu be re? ceivable by ihe State for taxes. The compluint turiher alleges thal Hie president of the road, Mr. John J. Patterton, obtulued possession ol $1.800,000 of this scrip, and obtaining loans upon a portion of lt, divided the money and scrip among his personal lrlends aud members ot ihe South Carolina Legislature. The com? plaint also alleges that ihe trensnrer ot ihe State ol'tomb Carolina received $50,000 Judge Iugraham granted au order to show cause why au injunction should not be issued, and a re? ceive/ appointed. The question was argued before Judge Leonard to-day whether ihe courts ot this State have Jurisdiction In the matter, as the plaintiffs ure non-residents. The decision was reserved. JfJSJ?IL? Vf XU IS IC Alli. Particulars of the Rc cen? Terrible Ac. olifent on the Wilmington, Colombia and Augusta Railroad. [From the Wilmington Star, May 31.1 It 1B seldom that we are called upon to re? cord an accident on any of the railroads In this section so serious In its results as the one which befell the train on the Wilmington, Columbia and Augusta Railroad yesterday morning, Intelligence of whloh was received in this city early in the day. Wa are indebted to Mr. L. C. Carpenter, editor of the Colombia Union, who was on the train, and to Captain Alva Waiker, conductor of o e o? the sleep? ing cars, for the following pi Uculars ol-the the alsasier: Tne train that leu this city for Columbia at 6.30 P. M., on Wednesday, met the up train for Wilmington at Flemington on time, where Captain Gilbert, of the up train, reported that hi bal sustained an accident at about 5 o'clock mat af lei noon, at a point about two miles this side of Marlon, by which hts first aud second-class cars were thrown fi om the track, thus obstructing the way. The down-train tnereupon pioceeded to the point where the accident occurred, and there await? ed the train due from Coln mola, on the arrival of which the passengers and baggHge were transferred and the two trains re veined their destinations, the down-train returning to Co? mm bia, and the up-lrain (.tarting In this direc? tion, in order lo make proper connections. In making the-returu trip, there being no turu tub e, me traiu for this place shlited the cars so as to throw ihe two sleeping-cars and the first and second-class coaches in ihe rear, the engine proceeding with the tender In Iront. Everything weut on ali right, with ihe excep? tion that some ct ihe passengers complained of thejumping or uneven motion ol me train, until mey bau reached a point abuut one mlle ihe other sloe of Gr Ice's station, tiny five miles from this edy, the train man? ing about eighteen miles to ihe hour at the lime, when tue tender sudden? ly ran off tue tracie, carrying wi" h it the engine, the baggage car and the tiret and second ciass passenger car-', leaving only the two bleeping cars on ihe track. The tender was precipitated loto the ditch on the side of the road, wide the eugine was thrown across the track. Tne baggage car was completely de? molished, while me second class car was lined, as lt ?ere, by the force of ihe shock, and car? ried nearly ihrougu to tbe opposite end of ihe Drst oia>s car, lu wblch a number of passen? gers were seau-d, knocking out one side of the oar, pr?cipitai i og the must of the passengers through the opening, and lamming the re muludtrln amoog the rubbish. Strange io say, although lhere were several peisuns in the second elias car, not one was Injured. As soon as pos.-lolu after ibe accident the tinta Jured, lnciudingali ihose lu the sleeping caril Hastened lo the re ll el of the sufferers, some of whom were In ihe ditch at the side or* the road and others In the first class car. Among the i auer was a colored girl, who had been partial? ly thrown through ihe window, when she was caught by the ruin*, where she hung sus? pended by one leg. her head banging down lu side of the car. In this situai iou sne remained for about one hour before she was extricated, uer head In the meantime being raised some what by aa Ingenious contiivauce on the part ol iii ose wlo> were engaged lu the effort to rescue her. The following are the names, together with the cond.non, of the sufferers: Morris Bischoff, or Terre Haute, Iud., right thigh broken. C. H. R ckBtraw, of Cheraw, S. C., scalp wound on top of the head ab .mt six inches In lengtn, a baa cut over the right eye, and right urm bioken above the elbow. G. ll. Hodge, engineer, formerly residing near Charleston, but now stopping in this city, slight cut over me right eye and bruise on the rlgnt Bide. Injuries not serious. Mary Holly, colored, servant ol Mr. L. C. ' Ca* peuter, of Columbia, lelt Bhuulder badly bruised and slight Injury lo leg. Wounds not considered dangerous. Vi D. Lowudes. colored servant ol'Mr. L. C. Carpenter, s luhily wounded In ihe left shoul? der und on tight leg. No bones broken. Albert Copeland, fireman, left hand cut bad? ly aud left side bruised. Wllnam Hoatb, colored, of this city, a pas? senger on the train, was injured in the nip and bad one ol his ribs broaen. Wounds not seri? ous. As soon as Ihe news of the disaster was re? ceived at Flemington, a dispatch was sent to thia city for medical aid, and upon the arrival of the physicians at Flemington a special train was dispatched io the scene of the accident. Before arriving lhere, however, ihe morning train for Columbia was mei returning with the wounded. Arriving at the depot, those who had received the mont dangerous wounds were taken io the City Hospital, where they received all necessary medical attention at Hie hands of Dr. Wlnanis, a-sttted by Dra. King. Cobb and Love. We visited the hispital during the at te rn oon and found that the Injuries of Messrs. Ricks.raw and Bischoff, though very severe, were not considered by the attending physl tl ins as necessarily mortal, and lt was also their op 1 ni cu that a resort lo amputation would no', be necessary, unices an unfavor? able change should take place. Tne passen? gers on tue wrecked train were loud In their praises of Captains Bowden. Walker and others for the promptness and energy which they displayed lu relieving the sufferers. Ihe baggage and mull matter was uninjur? ed, aud was brought safely to this city y ester? day m ter noon. From what we could learn no blame for ihe accident is aitacbed to any one connected wlm tne road, the precise cause of Lhe rnuning off being a mystery to ail on ihe train at the time. 'Ihe accident this side of Marlon lhe previ aus evening was caused, we learn, by the re? moval ol a rail, wu ich was no doubt done purposely with ibe view of throwing ihe tram (rom lhe truck. No one was hurt by the acci? dent, and ihe cars were .uninjured. The road, we are informed, was clear last evening and ready for '.he p ? ss a ge of trains as usual. iriNDura ve mus SESSION.
