PROOF OF RATIONALITY.-A man re? siding iu a New Eugland town, at some distance from a near relative, received a message ono cold evening in December, to hasten to his residence, as he was in a dying state. When he arrived, ho was told that his relative was a little better, but that his reason had entirely left him. Tho sick man presently turned his head, saying in a faint voice: "Who is that?" Ho was informed that it was his rela? tive. "Oh, ah," said ho, "yes, yes. He must be cold. Make him a good warm toddy-yes, a toddy." **I guess ho aiu't crazy," said tho visitor to the friends staudinp: round; "ho talks very rational." From information derived from a cou? ple of gentlemen who were eye-witnesses, and who arrived in the city yesterday morning, after coffins to bury the dead, we learn that a fatal and bloody row oc? curred at the election preeinct of Sleepy Hollow, Barnwell County, S. G., on Thursday. The occasion was the elec? tion of township officers-Seteotmen, Surveyor, Clerk and Constable. The conservatives of the township had nomi? nated and earnestly pressed the claims of candidates from their party in oppo? sition to the white nominees of the ne? gro and scalawag combination for these several positions. The canvass had en? listed the warmest feelings of the rival parties, although, up to the declaration of the election, no rupture had occurred. From the particulars furnished us, the difficulty seems to have had its origin and progress as follows: When the votes were counted, and it was found that the radical nominees were elected, Elmore Tyler, an enthusiastic conservative, who had been thoroughly enlisted in the suc? cess of his ticket, exclaimed: "Boys, we're beat; I don't blame you, colored people; I blame you, white scalawags." A. P. Woodward, a brother of the derk elect, Picken? Woodward, who holds the position of clerk in the store of Mr. W. S. Royal, in this city, was present, and demanded a retraction of Tyler's de? claration, so far as it applied to his brother. At this juncture, Fickena Woodward drew his pistol, when lie was approached by John H. Holland, who wrested the weapon from his possession. A. P. Woodward then drew his 1 pistol, which he discharged at Holland, the ball taking effect in tho stomach of the hit? ter. The wounded man staggered off a few feet and fell to the earth, mortally wounded. He was afterwards removed to the house of S. N. Green, about 150 yards from the locality where he was shot He lingered, in great suffering, until about 12 o'clock at night, when he expired, and his lifeless body was for? warded to his family yesterday morning. The fight then became general, when Wm. J. Woodward, father of Piokens and A. P., whipped out a large pocket-knife, and began an indiscriminate assault upon thoBe who were identified with the con? servative party. Attacking Wyatt Tyler, he inflicted a severe stab on the back partof the neck of that gentleman. James Tyler, a nephew of Wyatt Tyler, and his brother Joseph, also received slight wounds from the knife in the hands of Woodward, the former in the side and the latter in the breast. With his thirst for blood not yet satiated, and deter? mined to inflict all the damage which he possibly could with the deadly weapon in his hand, Woodward set upon Frank M. Green, and inflicted a severe wound in his side. At this juncture, tho father of Green, John S. Green, Sr., -who was one of the conservative candidates for selectmen, observing tho danger to which his son was exposed, closed in with Woodward, whom ho succeeded in felling to the ground. While Green was pinning Woodward to tho earth, A. P." Wood? ward discharged two shots from his pis? tol, which took elicet in tho left side of Green, causing immediate death. Young Woodward also tired upon Frank M. Green, wounding him in tho left hand. From the effect of this wound Green fell, when his antagonist fired at him again, but missed his aim. Two pistol shots, fired by parties un? known, took effect in the back of A. P. Woodward, producing wounds which, it is thought, must prove fatal. All the parties implicated in this affair were white, the negroes present taking no part in the fight on either side, but scampered off like rats from a sinking ship. Indeed, so averse wero they to having "a place in the picture near the flashing of the guns," that it was with some difficulty they were persuaded to lend their assistance in the removal of the doad and wounded, We are advised that the Woodwards have not heretofore been classed with the radical element, and that the affair turned upon an issue of a local charac? ter, as to the best moans to defeat the negroes, who had previously nominated candidates of their own color. Mr. A. P. Woodward, of Augusta, whom wo mentioned as a clerk in the employ of Mr. W. S. Royal, is represented, by those who know him best, as a high toned young man, having no affinities with soalawaggory. [Augusta Constitutionalist. A PERTINENT QUESTION.-The Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel asks: "Where does the booby Executive, so-called, get his authority for affixing new penalties to crime, absolutely legislating in specific cases? Tho Constitution gives the right to commuto from a higher crime to a lower crime-say from murder to man- i slaughter-and tho code specifies and - affixes the penalty for each crime, which 1 is the only penalty that can be legally i recognized. Bub where, except from his own brain, does Boo'>y Bullock get a color of authority to originate and affix new penalties? Where does he got au? thority to make ono or two years' impri? sonment the penalty for murder?" The last definition of tho word "demi? monde," and which, as usual, has been attribnted to young Aloxandor Dumas, is: "Demi-monde (tho half-world) is tho world to which a husband always goes without taking his bettor-half with him." The Peabody schools in Greenville, S. C., will bo opened on tho 10th of August. Six or seven teachers aro to be elected,, with salaries ranging from $100 tcj 81,200. i i ISBBZ3S CCtu B BSfct ?55?$i The radicals ar? now attempting to cul? tivate tho "nob Irish- brogue" through the instrumentality ot ' a PbDadelphia Irishman by the name of Moriarty. The idea seems to be, Pat be aisy, and if yon can't be aisy, be aisy as yon eau, till we get Koopman Schopp, the celestial, to bring over a few millions from China to aid us in building railroads, canals and the li ko. The country wants cheap la? bor, and China furnishes it by roason of its abuudance in humanity. ' The honest "German accent" has been tho delight of the radical ear. This ac? cent is best caught at Sangerfests and Sohutzenfcsts. It is well to linger upon its cadences as it floats musically from somo joyous band. But then the Ger? man uever works for another when he can work for himself or herself. By dili? gence, thrift and economy, these Ger? mans soon become independent workers for their own pleasure and profit, and this does not cheapen labor. Tbs great want of the Republican party, or, as Forney's Pi'css phrases, "the great want of the country" is cheap labor. Cheap labor meauB low wages, and a pint of lager and black bread, or whiskey, but I tomi ilk and potatoes. The loyal colored wards of the nation, it was expectr \ would do much to free the radical pa.,/ j from the embarrassments of strikes and unions, and all that. But these "loyal wards" flee from tho freezing influence of the North Pole, and persistently set their faces toward the sun; and, therefore, tho loyal wards have returned nothing, not even cheap cotton, to their radical benefactors. Now, under the plea of universal free? dom and universal suffrage they demand protection for manufacturing lords, but free trade in labor. Let all the world come in, so that capitalists shall have obeap labor, and plenty of it, on tho farm to have cheap cotton and cheap wheat-in the mine to hare cheap iron and cheap coal-in the factory to have eheap cloth and big profits for the manu factoring lords of New England. The j manufactured goods of tho New Eng? land radicals must be protected by high tariffs against all the world; but lhere must bo free trade and equal rights in labor, to all the world, for these princes of fuctory labor. Let nil the Koopman Scbnppss of all the Orient bring in all the pig-tails. They shall have "equal rights." "If the negro cannot compete, let him go under." If the Irish and Germans cannot live "let them go un? der." The people should be made to "understand the Government," and the radicals continue to grow rich and pros? per, receiving gold for their bonds, all offices for their honors, and protection for their manufactured goods, and tho Government imperial ns imperial France. We ask tho generous radical wbnt is to be the most potent, the rich Irish brogue, or the sweet German accent, or the celestial lingo of the Flowery King? dom? Ben Wade says: "Well, why shouldn't the Chinese como here and have all the rights and privileges? They are a d-d sight better than tho Irish!" That is what Forney and all the rest of tho radi? cal leaders Say. And they soy so with comparative reference to tho negro. And yet they aro hoping to build up an Irish wing of their de mol rali zed and badly shattered party. "Not for Joseph." Funeral Invitation. Tho friends and acquaintances of Mr. and Mrs. R. P.
