COLUMBIA. S C. Tuurilay ?oraing, April 24,1873. Is the Pops. Dying? ? Pope Pius the Ninth has had a num? ber of escapes from death by various at? tacks of illness, bat he is now stricken in years, and cannot expeot.exhausted natnro to do muob for him in the way ol recuperative resources. Prostrated by rheumatio fever and afflicted witb ulcora tion of one of his limbs, he is supposed to be so seriously assailed that his reco? very for any length of time may be con? sidered 'doubtful. As Giovanni Marie Mastai Ferrcili?tho family name of Pio Nino?was born in 1790, he is in the eighty-third year of his age, and has a long life, full of vicissitudes, to look back upon and contemplate. In 1810, he was 'created Cardinal-Archbishop of Imola, in tlie Romagua. Pope Gregory XVI died June 1840, andFerretti was elected to tho Papacy fifteen days after * wards as ^R^.^lno?Pius the IX. At first,jhis popularity waa^ eioeesive. but tho French Revolution", irA&48, inspired Italian patriots with an enthusiastio spirit of liberty, and as the Pope refosed to yield to it, but, on the contrary, ma? nifested strong ro-uctionary tendencies, his temporal pow?r began to wane. Finally, he selected as his Minister Count Rossi,, ono of the most unpopular .of Rorrio'e aristocracy, and the popular in? dignation at onoo commenced action. Rossi was assassinated, and the Pope fled to Gaota. The French army -flually drove the insurgents out of Rome, and the Pope returned to the Vatioan. In September, 1870, however, the French forces were withdrawn from Romo,'Vic? tor Emanael oooupied it with Italian troops, and as a temporal sovereign, the Pope's oareer was practically terminated. Pio Nino has never consented to this transfer of authority, and Btill protests that he is the head, not only of the uhnroh, but of Italy. He moreover in? sists upon the dogma of his infallibility. But death will soon render even ambition silent, and the sorrows of the Pontiff, his errors and his virtues, will beoome mat? ters only of history. ?< The Ponicrr of Extzbkinatiom.?Tho diversity of opinion among the daily papers in referenoe to the Indiau policy now to *be pursued is remarkable. On one Bide, the extremists raise, a cry for extermination; on the other, the Peace Commission still stands out for "PeaceI peace! when tboro is no peaoe." Be tween . these two, all shades of opinion are represented. The Graphic comes oat witb a very striking picture of "the only Indian reservation of the future"? a grave-yard and gal lews; and the World and many other influential journals go nearly as far, in words strong, bitter and ill-judged. Tribes inhabiting a thou? sand miles of territory would be involved in the. revengeful feelings excited by a band, of only 30? treacherous savages among the Oregon-lava beds. We have 300,000 Indians on our border, 90,000 of whom are peaceable, semi-civilized and quiet; 55,000 savage and roaming, and the rest giving but Kttle trouble, if let alone by the white settlers, unscrupulous agents and a meddling ' Government. Givo these Indians, then, the same just ioo that is given to white men? pnuish the guilty, but let Iba innocent go free. Beeoher on South Carolina?He Pbays fob t?b Indians.?-Henry Ward Bescher, in a oharaoteriutio sermon at Plymouth Church, Sunday, drew on South Carolina for an illustration: He Boid that he did not know on earth a more pitiable sight than South Caro? lina. It was at one time the richest and proudest of the States; It < inaugurated those ideas which led to the disaster'of the war and the cleansing of the conti? nent. The people of South Carolina bad risked and sacrificed everything for their, principles; they had scon their ohildren laid in the grave and their households reduced to beggary, and yot, in the plenitude of thoir sorrow, they woald take baok no particle of their faith in the cause. Though in a bad cause, they had shown a heroism it would be well to pattern and admire. In his prayer, ho bosought tho Father of all mankind to remomber in morcy the children of the forest, whose pent np wrongs had driven thorn to bloodshed and diabolical murder. Infobmation Wanted.?A letter boa been banded us, making inquiries about Mr. Wilson C.

The following is the address of the Executive Committee- to tbe people of tbo State, in accordance with tbe resolu? tion of the Board of Trustees: Southern Lips Insuiiance Co., Columbia, 8. C, April 22, 1873. To the Citizens of South Carolina: Tbe Trustees of tbe Columbia branch of the Southern Life Insurance Company, with its prinoipal offices at Memphis, Tennessee, and Atlanta, Georgia, re? spectfully invite your attention to the oluims of this company to public confi? dence and support. It was organized in I860, amid tbo gloom and despondency following the olose of hostilities, and was tbe pioneer in its peculiar and beneficent field. Having to contend with tbo almost uni? versal distrust in the stability of South? ern institutions, its unparalleled success is not only an earnest of ability and eco? nomy of management, bat a monument of the patriotism of an appreciative though suffering peoplo. Wo have boon solicited, and have, in order to fooud one grand organization for tbe whole South, aonseuted to joiu this worthy enterprise. Founded on a solid moneyed basis, with ample capital and largo accumulation of assets, its ratio of assets to liabilities (tbe true test of a company's strength) equals all tho older companies. While thero are several departments, tbey uru departments of tho same company, and each and every one guarantees tbe payment of the poli? cies of the company. One of the prime object* of 4be> orga? nization la to check tho drain of capital from the Sooth, and at the same tlma to furnish to the people aa safe and as ho? nestly managed a company a* can be found in any section. < ? , . Have the people of this State any con? ception of the immense sums of moneys yearly taken from the entire Sooth for life insurance? By calculation, based on the best statistics which can be ob? tained, it is estimated that a aam of not lesB than $6,000,OQO or 88,000^000 is sent every year from the Soqtn'for this purpose, the aggregate amount einoe the war being over $50,000,000. We ask I the people to consider how rapidly and I into what gigantio proportions every ! material interest of our section could be developed by the retention in-our midst of these enormous sums and the accu? mulation of compound interest tboreon. This company is prudently aud eco? nomically managed, and is doing a suc? cessful business in all the Southern States, paying largo annual dividends to its policy-holders, and always settling its losses promptly. The Columbia brauch is under safe and discreet management, and a just proportion of the funds constituting the reserve, will be securely invested in pur State for the development of the mate? rial interests of our people. The com* pany has already made satisfactory ar? rangements to invest in real estate in the city of Columbia the sum of about $25,000. Losses will be adjusted at the Colum? bia office, without the trouble, expense and uncertainty attending collections at remote points and from unknown per? sons. No Southern man should send his money out of the South for life iu suranoe, when Southern companies, iu evory respect reliable, are seeking pa? tronage. In order to clteck the immense drain of capital from the South to the North, we have made satisfactory arrangements to transfer parties wlio are now paying premiums to Northern companies, without loss or addi? tional annual outlay. We urge upon our follow-oitizens the consideration of the subject aud the great importance of keeping capital at home. The oentral office at Columbia and the auxiliary offices throughout our jurisdiction, will furnish all information and receive applications for ineurauoo in this Company. N JAMES E. BLACK, President.

The Modocs ?It seems that these fe? rocious savages do not live by hunting, but that they are root-eaters, thus form? ing an exception to the rale which as? signs root-eaters to the lowest class of Indians. They are said to have some proud traditions and inspiring legends. The Missouri Republican, which seems well versed in their history, relates the following: "Not far from where they now stand at bay, they point to a high rock, upon whiob a band of their warriors was onoe. beleaguered. All retreat being oat off, and no escape possible, exospt by- volun tary death, the Modoos stood up in tine upon the brink of the dizzy preoipioe, sang their death song witb defiant ges? tures, in fail view of their enemies on the plains below, locked their hands and sprang with a shout of triumph to in? stant death." A HoBRiBiiB TaXjE of Murder.?A dreadful murder was committed near Camden, in this State, on Friday night last. Abont five years ago, Robert Pierce, then at work for Alexis Beeman, seduced his employer's daughter, and married her after the birth of their ohild. He was always jealous of his wife, and would hardly allow any one to speak to her; bo even accused her of unfaithful? ness to her marriage vows, and in otbeT ways endeavored to irritate her and bring her into disrepute, and often threatened to leave her to take care of herself. Sometimes ho would beat her, but she never spoke of these things, except to her father and ono old lady who was a near neighbor and took an interest in her. (Jn Friday night last, as appears from tho testimony of their little daugh? ter, Cora, and tho appoaranao of the room in which the deed was committed, Pierce brutally murdered his wife with aa axe, as she was preparing for bed. He then left the house with bis gun, and has not been seen since the murder was discovered. The child reo?two girls aud a baby boy about eighteen months old? passed the night in tho room with their dc ad mother; and in the morning, Cora, tho eldest, got some cold potatoes for them, returned to tho bod, and shared the food with tho others. The baby crawled or foil off tho bod, dragged him? self through his mother's blood, and marked her olothes with bloody hands, in its appeals for protection. So the ohildreu passed Friday night, Saturday, Saturday night and Sauday forenoon, when a sistor of tho murderod woman found them aud discovered the awful crime. Neighbors were summoned, and found the mangled body of the woman lying on tho floor, near tho axe with which tho mir dor had been done. Tho baby was lying between its mother's foot, smeared with blood, cold and on the verge of starvation; tho little girls were in bod to keep warm. Tho ooro ner's investigation disclosed no other funts than tho^o given above, except that Mrs. Pierce was with ohild whea killod. [New York 'IVibune.

"I was in the House of Commons on the famous night of the debate on Sir Charles Dilke's motion, and I have seen many another -stormy scene in the same House, not to speak of some rat be r noisy discussions in the Capitol at Washing* ton, and soenes in the- Palais Bourbon, Paris, when tho Imperial 'Corps Legis latif sat there, and the historical five wero doing the whole work of opposi? tion. But I, at least, never heard such vehement, persistent and passionate clamor as an the theatre of Versailles during the sitting of tins present Assem? bly.
