He considered this C vention their rebellion against the publican party-the highest enlog the principles of that party; for it sb that that party has high courage ta about tba work of reforming itself. (Applause.) Parties can't li Y o on past reputation. It was because those who control the Republican maohinery and principles have diverted them from their trne purposes, that thia movement was initiated.

A STRANGE DISCOVERY.-Last Friday night, at ll o'olock, tho conductor of the freight train on the Northern Central Railroad was very much surprised to see on his train with the rest of the freight a box of the most elegant workmanship. It greatly exoited his curiosity, owing to the extravagance, as he thought, of placing it among such a rough lot of freiglit. If he was surprised at its ap? pearance, he was almost terrified, when the train arrived at Woodberry and be? came still, to hear the ories of au infant proceeding therefrom. At first, he could aot believe it. Placing his ear to the lid, he could almost feel the breath of ] the little prisonor npou his cbenk, cre? vices haviag been left for air. Hammer and chisel were speedily availed of, and in a few momenta a chubby-faced, blue eyed, dimple-oheeked little boy, not a month old, was revealed to the asto? nished spectators. It waa placed in the hands of a lady living near by, who pro mise? to rear it, and it is proposed, if the conductor will give his oonsent, to have it named after him. The same evening before the train started from the depot, a well-dressed man was seen lurk? ing about the plaoe, and it is supposed that he was the owner of the infant. [Baltimore American. AN INTERESTING REMO.-Mr. Elisha Careen, of our town, baa iu his posses? sion the identical sword used by Thad? deus Sobieski at the great battle of War? saw. It was brought to this oountry by Count Sobieski, in the year 1818, and sold, with his other effects, in Charles? ton, where he died in 1822. Mr. Car? son waa in thoeo days a oitizen of Charleston, and a near neighbor and in? timate friend of Count Bobieski, who hod repeatedly informed him of the his? tory of his nnole's sword. When it was offered for sale, Mr. Carson, who alone knew its msthetioal value, bid it off for 818. Col. Keith, who knew that it was a Poliah weapon, run it up to that figure. It is a quaint-looking old" weapon, for which the British Museum woald proba? bly be willing to pay a round price. Who has not read Thaddeus of Warsaw? All who are acquainted with that histori? cal romance will experience a glow of pleasure in looking at the sword wielded by the hands of the doughty hero of Warsaw, who afterwards married and died in England.-Sumter News. A NEORO SENATOR EXPELLED VOR BRIBERY.-The Florida Senate, on Mon? day, declared the seat of Pearoe, the Senator from the Eighth District, va? cant, Pearoe having been convicted of bribery. The oonvioted Senator is known as Bishop Pearce, and is a oolor? ed Radical of great influence. Jo3h Billings says: "There iz one thing about a hen that looks Uko wisdom, they don't kaokle m ooh until after they have laid their egg. Sum pholks are alwus a bragging and a oaokling what they are going tew do before-hand." The importations at New York for the past week were about $10,000,000-a falling off of nearly $3,000,000 compared with the week before. The decrease is moBt noticeable in sogar, tea, cottee, hides, iron and fancy goods. Smart yoong men and gossiping, pert girls are the persons most to be dreaded in society. The correspondent of the Charleston IVews telegraphs as follows, ander date of the 30th: There Is in financial oiroles quite a little stir over the relative value ot reva* nae sorip and pay co c ti fica toa. The prioe of the former, when placed on the market, is estimated at from seventy to eighty cents on the dollar. Fay certifi? cates, issued by the Legislature ad Ubi' tum, are, by the resolution passed last Hojsion, payable only iu coin and United States currency. Hence the competi? tion growing between the two kinds of ourrenoy. The Radicals are using every strength? ening device. Lodgos of the Indepen? dent Order of United Brethren aro form? ing in ull thu upper Counties at the pre? sent time, and the Uuion League Coun? cils are being revived. From the seat of administration to the lowest subordinate officials there is a unity of action, which is only disturbed by the clamors of tboBo in the Republican ranks who have claims against the Treasury. This tho leaders are daily endeavoring to remedy, but they can't get the money to do it. At a meeting held to-day, the regents of the Lunatic Asylum seriously consi? dered the advisability of an application for a viandamus against tho State Trea? surer to show cause why the funds ap? propriated for that institution were not paid over. Action was postponed in the matter till the result of tho mandamus applied for by the Superintendent of the Penitentiary shall be known. This will be to-morrow, when return shall be made to the Supreme Court. It is uuderstood that offers havo been made to the Superintendent of sufficient money to carry along the institution, and that the samo will bo tho case with the Lunatic Asylum. "The gulled jade winces." I havo sufficient authority for saying that if tho funds shall not bo forth-com? ing to carry on the Asylum, a mandamus to show causo will be applied for imme? diately. Tho probabilities are that the moneys necessary for these purposes will be sorapod up some how. Tho superin? tendents of both institutions have no disposition to bo trilled with iu the mat? ter. AK EpiscoritTJ CLERGYMAN EMBRACES THE CATHOLIC FAITH.-Reforring to the difficulties which existed between the Right Rev. Bishop Whittingham, of the Episcopal Diocese of Maryland, and the Rev. Alfred A. Curtis, late rector of Mount Calvary Church, Baltimore, which culminated in the refusal of the latter to accept the pastoral letter of the House of Bishops, ?nd subsequently in the resignation of bis charge, the Gazelle, of that oity, Bays: The course of Mr. Curtis, since his withdrawal from Monut Calvary, has been watched with great inter?s', and various reports were circulated that he had been a constant attendant at the Cathedral und other Catholic churches of this city. Soon after tho difficulties aroso, how? ever, Mr. Curtis left this country and proceeded to Birmingham, England, where ho still remains, his object in going thcro, it is understood, being to consult with Dr. Newman, formerly a prominent divino in the Churoh of England, but now, as is generally known, a member of the Roman Catholic Church. A few days ago Bishop Whittingham received u communication from Mr. Curtis, notifying him of his intention of renouncing his faith in the Episcopal Church. Acting upon this letter, the Bishop called together a number of the clergy of Baltimore, who met in St. Paul's Church, on Wednesday last, at tho ll o'clock sorvice. Immediately after the second lesson tho Bishop placed himself in front of the altnrand publicly read a statement deposing Mr. Curtis from all duties attaching to the office of Presbyter or Prio9t iu tho Episcopal Church, in accordance with the canon provided for such cases. TUE RECENT MURDERS OP THE MIS? SOURI BOND RoniiEiis.-A special from Kansas City gives further details of the brutal murder of Stevenson, Cline and Dutro on the railroad train near Holden, on Wednesday, for their combination with others connected with the Cass County Court to rob tho County of a large sum of bonds, which had been de? clared fraudulent. Aftor tho train stopped, four of the mob mounted the locomotivo and guarded tho engineer with drawn revolvors. The train was then surrounded, aad Olino and Steven? son called out. Cline appeared, and after some words regarding his connec? tion with tho fraudulent issue of Cass County bonds, he was riddled with bul? lets and his body thrown by the side of the track. Several of the orowd emptied their revolvers into his mangled body. Stevenson waa in the baggage car, and barred the doors against the mob, but the mob broke in the doors with a log of wood and poured a volley into the Judge, killing him instantly. Stevenson's body was dragged .out and laid besido that of Cline. Dutro, who was in the passenger car, was mortally wounded. The train waa then allowed to start, bnt was sig? nalled to stop. The dying man, Dutro, was then drugged from the coach and thrown down near tho dead bodies of Cline and Stoveneou. A report reached Kansas City last night that Judge For? syth, another of the County Justices, had been shot aud hanged to a treo. Great excitement prevails throughout the County, and fears are felt that still others will ba murdered. The perpetra tora of this massacre claim that they have 1,000 men in organization. STRANOH COINCIDENCE.-Wo learn from Mr. E. M. Aderholdt, of Gaston, that the wife ef Sam Mooney, colored, dropped dead at the dinner table on Sa? turday last. Her sister came over to at? tend the fnneral and dropped dead on the next night in tho same house. [Southern Home. JODOK OBB.-A correspondent of the Abbeville Medium eajs: In these sad times, it is pleasing to be able to speak in terms of just and truth? ful appreciation of the oharaoter and services of a public functionary, and es? pecially of a higu judicial magistrate. In former and better days, the high offi? cials of the State, and particularly the judges, exacted by their eminent virtues tho willing tribute of popular respect and veneration. The very presenoe of the judge inspired respect for his office and for the law, whose minister he was. The law was administered with ability and dignity. Innocence found a sanc? tuary in the ouurts, and crime was scourged with the rod of the law. Every citizen, the low and the lofty, felt secure in his person and his property-felt equally the protection of the law. The public peace was rarely broken, and pri? vate security rarely invaded. The taxes were paid by the citizen as a cheerful contribution to the Government that protected him, and all pursued their avo? cations without molestation and without fear. It is believed that the circuit cl Judge Orr, one of the largest, if not the largest, in the State, is the only circuit in which the publio peace and private security are preserved. Bad morals and bad passions-bitter frnits of the lat? unhappy war-have been repressed, and confidence in the justice of the couru and in the protection of the law hai been inspired. It is unspeakable praise to Judge Orr, that by mere peaoefu agencies-tho inferior magistrates anr executive officers of eaoh Gounty, am the firm yet gentle and impartial admi nistration of law itself from the bench the most absolute quietude has prevailed in his oircuit, and a mild and wholesomi sonse ofjscou.ity felt by the citizen however humble. That this picture ii life like, as well in Abbeville as the otho Counties, every oitizen feels to be true That this happy and peaceful conditio! of Abbeville is due to the eminent ta lents, large attainments and vigorous ad ministrative abilities of Judge Orr, i were shameless dispraise to deny. ON THH CUSTOM OP SaiiunNa AFTE SNEEZINO.-It is probable that this cut tom, so universally prevalent, originate in some anoient superstition; it seems t have excited inquiry among all nationi "SomeCatholics," says Father Teyjoc "have attributed the origin of this ons tom to the ordinance of a Pope, Bair Gregory, who is said to have instituted j short benediction to be used on such o< casions, at a time when, during a peat I lenee, the crisis was attended by snee: ing, and in most cases followed b death." I But the llabbina, who have a story it everything, say that, before Jacob, me never sneezed but onco, and then immi diately died. They assure ns that tl patriarch was the first who died by natl ral disease; before him, all men died b sneezing; the memory of which was o dered to be preserved in all nations, I a command of every prince to bia sui jeots to enjoy some salutary exolamatic after the act of sneezing. But the dreams only serve to prove that so farr liar a custom has always excited inquir Even Aristotle hos delivered some cone dorable nonsense on this custom; hess; it is an honorable acknowledgment the seat of good sense and genius-tl head-"to distinguish it from two? otb offensive eruptions of air, whioh a never accompanied by any benedicta from the bystanders." The frequent t Insions to this onstom in Pliny prove j antiquity; and a memoir in the Free? Academy notices the practice in the nt world on the first discovery of Americ An amusing account of the oeremoni whioh attend the sneezing of a king Monomotapa, shows what a national co cern may be the sneeze of despotist Those who are near his person when tl happens, salute him in so loud a to thut persons in tho ante-chamber hear and join in the acclamation; in the e joining apartments, they do the aaa till the noise reaches the street, and I comes propagated throughont tho oil so that, at each sneeze from his majesl results a most horrid cry from the sal tationsof many thousands of bis vassa When the King of Sermaar sneez his courtiers immediately turn th backs on him, and givo a loud slap their right thigh. BITUMINOUS COAT^ IN SUMTEB.-^ were shown a fow days ago, by Rev. J. Stokes, of Camdon, who, we belie made the actual discovery, a fine ap? men of bituminous coal, whioh \ found about twenty-five feet below I surface, in a out of tho Wilmington, 4 lumbia and Augusta Railroad, near C John B. Moore's Wedgfield place, ab ten miles from Sumter. Oar inform stated that ha had tested the burni qualities of this ooal and fonnd it ext lent. Should this coal lead to the dis very of a mine of any extent, (for wh wo suppose search would be at 01 made,) it would doubtless proveasou of much wealth. May it thus reault. [Sumter Watchman ^ . #.

The first at? tempt was made on last Wednesday night, when an arm-ful of shavings was placed on the piazza of the "Old Bom ur House, " and Bet on fire. This old bou be being in the very centre of the business part of the town, and being built of wood and very much decayed, no point could have been better selected for a wholesale destruction of the town. On Friday night following, another attempt was made to fire the wooden offices io rear of the law office of Evins & Bomar, and on Sunday night the incendiary was caught in the very act of firing the building occupied by Mr. Leonhardt as a bar-room. His name is Lawrence ? Mazyck, a colored barber, who came to this place a month ago from Morganton, North Carolina. The proof and nis own confessions connect him pretty certainly with all three of the efforts to fire the town. He was once the trusted body servant of the editor of thia paper, and his faithfulness in the camp, on the maroh, and by the bed-side during months of suffering from a severe gun? shot wound, are still gratefully remem? bered. Mazyok has been drinking very hard for some time past, sud it is be? lieved was BO demented with liquor that he was net aware of the terrible aots committed by him. He wiil not, how? ever, be allowed to go at ' large soon again, and must realize the sad experi? ence to which intemperance sooner or later brings so many of its victims. [Carolina Spartan.
