Wadneaiay lorning, April 28, IS??. ' ., Juanos toJth.bT South.?That which Northern men hare so long been urged to do?to visit the South for themselves and com ran no with its people and study facts, suoh prominent Republicans as William Gullen Bryant and Governor Clifford have been doing. We hear from both through the correspondence co? lumns of the newspapers, and learn that they discovered that the Ku KIux do not abound, and that a feeling of good will toward the North does exist among the white population everywhere. Tfie war? worn oity of Obarleaton is particularly eulogized by these writers.' Its patienoe under adversity, its willingness to forgot the wrongs of the post, its courageous confidence in the future, all excite their admiration. With suob. feeliogs in. their heartb, how c&n they oohtlDue to ally; themselves with ol party which seeks to ruin the South and degrade its white in? habitants to the level of slavery I The agriculture! returns of Great Bri tain for 18*72 show that obly six per oent. of the working population are em? ployed in tillage and husbandry. These number 2,000,000. Neither the land tilled nor the labor expended are ftdo quato to'f urn iah' food for tho dense popu? lation of the Island. Hence* the already large and rapidly iuoroasing trade*in American food products mast contlnao, and promises to equalize in time,'the value of the manofaotared articles which British mines and manufactories supply the sovereigns of Yankeedom. Besides oar breadstuffs, hams, beef and pork, England now oats large quantities of preserved fresh, meat from Australia. No doubt proper enterprise could substitute the flesh of our fine Texas cattle for the produce of the far-away antipodes, to the mutual advantage of consumers and graziers. ?-??> ?- ? ? ? ' VioroBiBs Aw* Abound.?Again the East responds to the West. An election held in the oity of Ellsworth, away down in Maine, last week, resulted in a swooping Democratic victory. Ellsworth has hitherto been strongly Republican. This is en isolated case, it is true, bat what does it indicate? If here and there, East and West, and. North and Bo nth, every election whioh comes off shows a heavy Demooratio gain, or completely revolutionizes a Itippblioan stronghold, what better evidence do we need that the long-expeotcd ohange of heart in the na? tion bus come? The auiformity of these Demooratio victories is the most signifi? cant feature about them. They Indicate a corresponding uniformity in public sentiment everywhere. , T&b Dutch Wab in the East.?Hol? land is new beginning to dud out the in? convenience of her foreign possessions. Sumatra ..has long been a aonroe of wealth to the Netherlands. Snmntra, however, is far away, and, in these days of great'naviesand large armies, Holland oannot hope to hold on to far distant territory? The" Acheenoee are giving the Dutch so mach trouble that it will not be wonderful .if the Government at the Hague should be induced to part with it altogether. In such on event, the whole island most fall into the hands of Great Britain or Germany. India and Australia are equally interested in tho possession of Sumatra. . -?-????-.?"-1 An Episoopaxi ('?NanEss.?There is a prospect that the different parties in tho Protestant Episcopal Ohoroh will have an opportunity of oonteudii g for their respective theories in a more direot way than they have been able to do hereto? fore Bishop Cox?, of Western New York, proposes that a constitutional congress of the ohnroh shall meet before 1876, with power to adjourn from time to time, to be charged with the duty of making such changes in the organio law of the ohuroh as may bo referred to it. The bishop thinks that the time has oomo to settle the question whether episoopaoy is to bo "fossilized as an An gelio exotio," or to rise to its proper sphere nnd become a mother to all the immigrants who ate ooming in from Eu? rope and Asia. The congress will be the scene of muob animated discussion, for some persons are in favor of drop? ping the word Protestant from the name of the ohuroh. Others of opposite ten? dencies will want to purge the ohuroh from all "Romanizing germB," and the division of dioceses, the multiplication and prerogatives of bishops, will be fruitful subjects of debate. Whateyor shape the congress may take, its deliber? ations will be important, and of far more than mere denominational interest. Another Tiiagedy.? Last Saturday afternoon, on the Louisville road, four? teen rrilesfrom Savannah, W. V. Good? win, a fruit grower, shot and killed Joseph Bostook, who was engaged in the same business. The difficulty, it ap? pears, originated from a supposed con? flict of business interests. There are conflicting statements about the affair. Goodwin .wont to Savannah Saturday afternoon and surrendered himself to the authorities. Both are men of fami? lies. How long will these conspirators against- oar ?bo*ty aod-property abuso oar patience? To what extremity will their audacity be carried? Having do regard for the sacred right of franchise? having by fraud end force defeated th-a will of this people, expressed by^ 12,000 majority'at the ballot-box?they now proceed to despoil the oitixens of their property, and to enforce their an just ex? actions by imprisonment and by fines and penalties. Ia there any protection for liberty or property in Louisiana today? It is useless to answer the question. The elected judiciary have been forcibly overturned, and men presume to admi? nister what they call the law?to wit, the passion or policy of the dominant fac? tion?whose-very presence on the benoh is a flagrant violation of the Constitu? tion and of the rights of the people, l'heir only recommendation for the po? sition is their complete eubservienoy to the orders of the usurplbg government. In such tribunals, the oitizen is con? demned before he is heard 1 No matter how sacrod the right violated, or how plain the constitutional restriction, that is trodden down, if it stands in the way of tiro progress of the passions of the usurpers. It is useless to ask any judi oial redress or protection, or to set up any defenoe. All the usual forms of prooeediogs are disregarded, and the means provided by the law for the pro? tection of the citizens against hasty and ill-considered action, are ruthlessly de? nied to him. When the constituted power of go? vernment, instead of protecting, is only used to persecute, and through the forms of taxation, is need only to rob and de epoih? to transfer the property of those -who own-it to the monopolieaoreated by It frdndnlent government, and to those who own nothing; and when 'this same power is psed to fins and imprison those who presume by legal ana peaceable means to resist Its despotic Bway and stay its plundering' hands?then there is an end of all law and of all vindication of right and justice, until an outraged and oppressed people take it into their own hands. If in every ward there woro organized independent rifle olubs, tho members living contiguous to eaob other, with arms in their houses, usurpation and de? fiance of the will of the people would bo impossible. If every merchant, every tradesman had rifles or shot-guns in his store, for tho use of his employees, with unanimity of aotion and common understanding that robbery and plunder would bo re? sisted at all hazards, the usurpation would be at an end, and we would bavo once more a government of law and li? berty, for our people aro the most law abiding.and most 'patient people on tho earth.?Neva Orleans- Picayune. United States Coubt, Charleston, April 21.?In 'this court, yesterday, be? fore Judges Bond and Bryan; the case of Wm. pray don vs. B. A. Kendall, as Buuapsit, a decree was entered by default against the defendant for 81,566.75." The following Commissioners of the United States Oiroait Court were stricken from the roll for aon-performanoe of their official duties: J. J. Aoher, H. O. Beare, James Brown, William J. Clarke, George H. Gornelson, P. V. Darwin, L. D. Hallonquest, A. W. Krusa, W. H. Lookwood, J; B. Anderson, William H. Boyce, John O. Ohadwiolr, W. J. Oobb, J. M. Daly, J. T. D. DaPre, John L. Hunter, George Larson, R. A. Lynch, Wm. Wal poll. The case of the United Stales vs. Wm. Whaley, assumpsit, was argued before a jury, which, after several hours'consulta? tion, failed to agree, and a mis-trial was ordered. G. A. Dronnan, of Chester; Henry Asher, of Blaokville; and Joseph T. Cam mings, of Somter, were finully discharged from bankruptcy. Tho petition of T. W. Hutson, of Charleston, for final disoharge from bankruptcy, was referred to Registrar Seebrook. A Mubdzb in Christ Chough.?Guto Gaillard, colored, was brought to the oity ou Sunday evening and lodged in jail, oharged with tho murder of a co? lored man named Gilbert Bradford. The two men wero employed upon the plantation of Mr. Wm. M. H-ile, near Mount Pleasant, On Saturday after? noon they had a souffle at Mr. H ue's store, after having drank very freely. 'Both fell upon the floor, and after a few struggles, Bradford arose to walk away, when it was discovered that his throat had been cut. Ho mado only two or thrco steps and, falling upou tho floor, died in a few minutes. It was found that the carotid artery had been severed. Gaillard stoutly denied having inflicted the wound, but his knife was found npou the floor covered wilh blood. Ho was arrested and committed to jail. [Charleston News. Bailed.?J. M. Allen, County Trea? surer of Greenville, arrested a few days since, at thd instanoo of F. L. Cardozo, State Treasurer, by Sheriff Southern, had a writ of habeas corpus issued, and the case was tried before Justices Shor man and Hopkins, who admitted him to bail in $30,000, to answer the charges to be preferred agaiust him at tho next oourt. A wood flro in Christ Churoh Parish, last Friday, destroyed about 100 cord* of cut pine woad belonging to Messrs. Koox Sc Lernard. The Uro was caused by the burning of brushwood by some of the oolorod people on tho plantation. There are now attending the oity schools in Charleston 8,070 pupils; com? prising 1,271 white females, 1,160 males; 767 oolorod femalos, and 660 colored males, with a prospect of an inoroaso. The Spotts wood Hotel lot and three ad? joining lots,, in Riohmond, Va., bavo been sold at auction, for the aggregato amount of $38,791, to Col. Oarrington, the proprietor of tho Exohange. Thb Stobt ?r nu Dcuamra ok tu Paovipaaeja awa CaXaMntieowr BitinatWi i The eteamer Stonington arrived at Ston iogtoa et" about 8 o'clock, Sstuiu?? morning. There wer? aboard of her 170: passengers, who took the half-past 2 - o'clock train from the! place f or Provl denoe and Boston. At Richmond switch, a dam aorota a small mill stream had, been carried away, letting tbo force of the water from Ennis Fond, which aoo^ plies the water for a grist mill, down upon the railroad bridge, located Jibout 300 feet distant, completely Washing it away. As no one lived near the pond, the breaking away of the dam was not known until the train; freighted with 170 souls, was thrown into the obaatn made by the swollen stream. . One of tue^ron rails on the opposite track was driven completely throagh the engine. The engineer, William D. Guile, of Provi? dence, aud the fireman, Georgo Eldred, of Wickford, wero killed. They both died at their posts. Guile with his hand on the throttle of the engine, and their obarred remains have been taken from the wreaked locomotive. When the train ran into the chasm, the engine made a fearful leap, passing over the stream and imbedding itself in the opposite em? bankment. Shortly after the engine plunged into the abyss, fire communi? cated to the two first olass and one ho oond olass passenger oars, and these were burned, with a large number of their occupants. Many who escaped death by the flames were badly injurod in various ways. Three other cars, not passenger oars, however, were also burned. They were what are known among railroad men as "baggage flats." - The three oars that contained the baggage and ex? press orates were the means of saving the lives of the majority of the passen? gers. When the work of romoviug the dead and wounded from the wreck was com? menced, the faces of some of the dead recovered were fonnd so disfigured that recognition by friends will be necessary to prove the identity of most of those lost. Nine bodies have boen reoovcred. The bodies recognized are those of W. D. Guile, the engineer; George Eldred, the fireman, both of whom were burned to a crisp; Albert Allen, of Providence; Jerry Creamer, of Boston; and John Cal lahao, of Now York. Some reports give only seven bodies as recovered. The conductor of the train, Orrin Gardiner, escaped injury; Thos. Nolan, tbo through brnkaman, was aerioualy injured in the thigh. The other brakeman, however, suffered only slight wounds. Several bodies, it is thought, have been washed down iho stream, as tbo flood wus proba? bly at its height when the accident oc? curred. The list of those badly hurt numbers some eighteen or twenty. Two of the unknown dead by the catastrophe were so disfigured-by the flames that consumed them that they could not be recognized. Their limbs were burned off, and only their trunks remained. The coroner did not bold an inquest on the bodies of the recovered dead, deeming such a ceremony nnnecessary. All the bodies have been carried to Providence?, R.I. Thb Monetakt Situation.?The Now York Evening Post, reviewing the mone? tary situation, says the movement of tbe authorities in that oily to enforoe the usury law has created no little commo I tion among Wall street people, a large part of whom, having regarded the law as a dead letter, have violated it. Many have been forced to do this, or disconti? nue business, or submit to losses which seem unjustifiable. "For instance." says the Post, "among the stock brokers, borrowers of money, when the ruling price is about seven per cent;, have to pay the onrrent rate or suspend. The amount which they borrow .is designed to oover their needs for tbe J.ay. Often they have balances left over, and these they feel compelled to lend for as much as they oan get, or as much as they oost them. In this way, or in others which might be explained, nearly every one in business in Wall street, it in said, haa at one time or another violated the law. It is vory generally admitted by intelligent observers and men experienced, that, with the New York money market free, rates would seldom, if ever, rise above twelve per cent, per annum. There would be no risks of prosecution to bo indemnified, and no temptation for spe? culators to look up money, as a means to rigbten holders of stock into selling, for no one would be frightened at twelve or eightoon per oent. per annnm, and, therefore, this means of breaking the stock market would be abandoned as useless. If prosecutions now threatened will basten the repeal of the law, they will be welcomed; otherwise, they will provo worse than useless. Now that there is so muoh olamor for more cur? rency, it is desirable that every unneces? sary restriction on money be removed." A Colored Man Run Ovart by a TnAiN.?A colored man by the name of Elias Graham, hailing from Mars Bluff, Marion County, S. G, met with a fright? ful accident about 3 o'clock on Sunday morning. Ho and two other colored men wero on their way to the Union De? pot, to oatoh the Sontbern train. They had been drinking heavily at a bar room in tbe vioinity of the Weldon dopot. Graham, having indulged to a greater eztont than his companions, became overpowered by the effect of his nume? rous potations and fell down. His com? panions hurried on, and left him to his fate. That morning, after day-light, he was discovered by the side of the track, with bis loft leg horribly mangled and crushed to a jelly from the knee down? ward, and the other badly bruised and gashed. Tho accident was no doubt oaused by the Northern train ou its way from Uaion Dopot to the old shed. [ Wilmington Slur.
