Thursda j Morning, September 18, 1873.
Tho Massachusetts State Republican
Convention declared, with great una?
nimity and manifest self-satisfaction,
that every great achievement for per?
sonal'liberty, for the preservation of the
Union, for the elevation of labor, for
tho oiovation of woman, for education,
for the extension of the suffrage,, which
has been accomplished in this country
fot ge aerations, haa been due to the Re?
publican party. It might be urged
againat this modest oiaim that the Re
publioan porty la not yet well out of its
first generation, but Jf . the Massaohu
sotta Radicals mean to aaaort that no?
thing was ever done in this country in
the way of improvement in the matters
referred: fro until the Republican party
was formed and took the business in
hand, it wonld be interesting to know
what the older Radioal luminaries were
doing before they went into the new
party. But we only?propose to demur,
and, therefore, we let/the alleged faots
go without qaestlpoi''' Snpptfse the Re?
publicans have d?no nil that the Massa?
chusetts branch claim, yet have they
been honest and faithful in the adminis?
tration ofttffairs? Has there been vio?
lence, treachery or corruption in the old
Bay State, or wherever else the Repub?
lican flag waved in triumph? Have
Butler and his faithful Radical henoh
men cheated and bullied any one, or by
frahd prevented the people from froely
seleoting their representatives in any
capacity ? Have Ridiaal Federal offioials
interfered iu local oleotious and threat?
ened to taru out their subordinates if
they did not act in local matters accord?
ing to the wishes of Washington circles?
^We are not compelled to answer these
-questions, for the Massachusetts Repub?
licans, after. sublimely wrapping them
? sulves in the drapery of universal suf?
frage and flinging out on the breeze the
&toner <>f progress inscribed with a
pledge to be "the. earliest converts
and- strongest advocates in the future,
as they have been in the past,
of every new truth,1' are forced
to oome up squarely and confess
judgment as to honesty and parity.
They propose to let their light so shine
sftnong men that their darker spots shall
not be Been; but the spots will not out,
and are even made.' more conspicuous
by the refulgence of the array of good
deeds that is intended to obsoure them.
The Republican party has accomplished
great things, and its influence, is every?
where felt; but the Worcester - resolu?
tions deolare that "the pressing daty of
the day is to seoarehonesty and purity,"
and this is the one thing needful that
the Republican party has not seourod to
the country. The "great causes" to
whioh they have given their energies
have nothing "to hope for iu the future
from any other source" than tboir own
party, but they suggest to their friends
that "no parson holding a public office
has a right to seek to influence the
action of his subordinates by exciting
their fear of loss of place if their opi?
nions and actions shall differ from hi*
own. And so they call upon the Presi?
dent to remove all his officials who have
interfered in their local concerns, and
rally all honest Republicans to secure
"the right to hold conventions and cau?
cuses without being cheated and bul
lied," and "to. unite iu purging the
commonwealth and nation of violence,
treachery and corruption." The Louis?
ville Courier-Journal thinks this is nrt
a good showing for theparty of high
ideas and law and order, bat tho Jilnssa
chusetts Republicans deserve credit for
showing op their party delinquencies,
even if it involves an intimation to Pre?
sident Qrant that he cannot send his
officials to their Conventions to bully
ond cheat delegate.-; and their doatli
blow to the aspirations of General But?
ler, whose'character and practices seom
to have baen the model from which the
artists of the occasion worked up the
pictures in the platform, is cortainly an
earnest of the reforms demanded.

Tho first bale of cotton of the season
was sold iu Walhalla on Tuesday morn?
ing, the 10th, to Messrs. Waller, Watson
& Co., who paid 16J?c. for it, aud 810
premium to the producer. It was
classed as low middling. We under?
stand that Anderson received about
twenty-five bales of cotton a day. The
markot is a liberal and brisk oue. The
crop in the upper country is unusually
fine, and has not been subject to tho
casualties of tho lower raugo of Co mlies.
It has, however, the ordeal of an earlier
frost to ran.

In view of the Brooklyn frauds, the

tures had been rejected. "He would
not receive it. then?" asked theoonnsel.
"No; his son, acting as his agent, de?
clined." "Ahl" said the oounsel, "what
did be pay?" He said that "ho would
seo me in h?11 as. far as a pigeon oould
fly in forty years, before ho would do
it." An elderly.gentleman; who was a
quiet listener to this examination, was
so convulsed with laughter at tho wit?
ness' reply, that he was compelled to
retire from tho court room, apologizing
at the door for his disturbance of tbe
court, as well as his exoited risibleB
would allow him. The hopelessness of
adjustment between tbe parties* strnok
bin as most ludicrously presented.
Ballooning.?Prof. Lowe, who, in
spite of his name, is an expert in high
flying, regards Prof. Wise as a theoreti?
cal instead of a practical roronaut. The
professor thinks the Graphic balloon
was five-sixths too large. He hoots at
the idea of air voyages coming into
general use.
A Tebrtbiie Slaughter.?The Ran?
goon correspondent of the Laudon
Times gives Bomo particulars of the cap?
ture by the Chinese of the Pauthay
oities, Taleefoo and Momieu. Taleefoo,
he says, appears to have suooumbed in
February last, to an army of 200,000
Chinese, who invested it for some
mouths before it ?nally fell. The trea?
chery of a Pant hay officer at length en?
abled the Chinese army to enter between
the outer fortifications and the town
itself, and from this time the invest?
ment became complete, and the days of
Taleefoo were nnmbered. Tbe Chinese
Geneial is said to have led Soleiman to
believe that if he surrendered himself,
tho town and population would be
spared. At any rate, Soleiman poisoned
his three wives and all his children, and
then, having entered his palanquin, or?
dered his hearers to convey him to tbe
Chinese camp. But he must have taken
poison bofore he started, for, upon ar?
rival at the camp, his dead body was
found in the palanquin. The Chinese
General decapitated the body und Bent
the bead, preserved in bouey, to Pekin.
All his attendants v.ho had come out
with him, besides another embassy that
appeared later to treat for surrender,
were beheaded, and eventually tbe city
was entered at the end of February last,
and every Mahommedau man, woman
and ohild remorse leasly massacred. A
Panthay's idea of numbers is hardly
trustworthy, but there is every reason
to believe that between 40,000 and
50,000 people were killed.
After the taking of Taleefoo, the
victorious army marched for Momien,
and taking all the smaller towns on their
way, finally stormed Momien on May
25, and massacred those who were not
fortunate enough to getaway. Momien
is the town visited by Major Sladeu and
and his party in 1868, and in which he
was so well received by Tah-ua-Koue,
the Governor. It is believed that Tall?
es Kon? and some of his garrison
escaped from Momien at the time of the
capture, and that he has retreated to the
hilly tract in the North of Yuman,
where tho Chinese will find a difficulty
I in following him. The fall of Momien
and tbe re-establishment, of Chinese
sovereignty in Yuman are, the writer
says, matters of much importance, and
the numerous chambers of commerce in
England who have so long pressed for
the development of the through trade
to Western China may indulge some
hope of their expectations being realized.
There exists no difficulty in reaching
Momieu, which is only 1-10 miles from
Bhamo-, and as the Burinose mission
latoly in England assured the mercantile
bodies, by whom they were entertained,
that it wus tho sincere desire of the
King of Burmah to re-establish the
trade route to Western China, it muy bo
expected that he will join cordially in
resuscitating and developing a route
whioh is calculated to produce such im?
portant commercial results.
The Mexican Frontier Question*.?
Colonel Robb, one of the ex-commis?
sioners to inquire into the depredations
committed ou persons uud property of
American citizens on the Rio Grand?
border, has recently received numerous
letters, stating that bueh acts are con?
tinually occurring. It will be recollect?
ed tbo commissioners reported an actual
loss of about $15,000.000 by such in?
cursions. Tho amount has been con?
siderably increased siuee the term of
the commission expired. There is no
doubt tho attention of Congress will
again be called to this subject by the
President, with a vie w to tho protection
of the oitizous of tho United States ou
tbe border. The demand on Mexico to
put an end to marauding expeditious
hiving boeo unsuccessful, geutlemcu of
high position say I bey seo no remedy
for the evil except iu the acquisition of
a portion of Northern Mexico, com?
manding both sides of the river, and
that such acquisition is not improbable,
considering that Mexico will be unable
to pay.the aggregate damages whioh the
Toxanshavosustain'ed by the inefficiency
of Mexico to restrain its citizous from
thvir wrong doing.
S. J. Tilden, of New York, ut present
sojourning iu Vienna, has written u let?

return iu time to vote at the next elec?
tion.
Tub Southern Histoh-ioai, Sociarnr.
The apirit ol the Southern Historical
Society is set forth in the following let?
ter from Gen. Dabney H. Maory, which
hat been communicated to the Bloh
msn? papers by Gss. "E?*j:
Soon after the war closed, my atten?
tion was called to the fact, that not only
had we been subjugated to the power of
the North, bat the history of our revo?
lution was being written exclusively by
our conquerors, and every effort was
being made by them to misrepresent us,
our cause, its principles, and oar ccn
dnot daring the war, which was forced
upon as in defence of our country. The
whole power of the newspaper press, of
the pulpit, magazine literature, the
makers of history books, of the sohool
teachers, and most potent of all, of the
sohool-book makers, was combined to
falsify and degrade us in the eyes of
posterity. The effect of all thiB was
painfully manifested upon the character
and the demeanor of oar own people.
We had become so familiarized with the
odious names and the odioos light iu
which we were presented, that we were
fast losing our self-respect, aud seemed
ready to acquiesce in all the degrada?
tions thus prepared for ns, and to be
ready to transmit, without an effort at
retrieval, our names to our children,
with all the odium a malignant, unre?
lenting, active aud unscrupulous enemy
could throw around them. The policy
of "rendering treason odious," which
was announced by Andrew Johnson
when he manacled our President and
oast him into prison to dio of slow tor?
ture, when he judicially murdered Wirz
and hanged an aged and innocent wo?
man, contrary to the evideoce and with?
out the forms of constitutional law, had
reaohed such a practical result as must
have been satisfactory to the most ex?
acting "loyalty." We had been called
"rebels" until niuo-tenths of nabelt we
had been rebels; and it was impossible
to recognize in tho anxious, cowed as?
pects of the men of the South, whose
only care seemed now to be to avoid
everything which could give offence, or
which would not be entirely pleasant to
our Northern masters, the gallaut spirits
of the once prond Southern Confede?
racy, who had challenged the admira?
tion of tho world by their heroic de?
fence of their country. All that was
now left to us was to rescue the true his?
tory of that defence from oblivion aud
destruction, and to leave posterity to
judge us and our cause by the testimony
we should place before it. This, aud
this alone, is the scope and object of the
Southern Historical Society. And for
this, I inaugurated in New Orleans,
more than five years ago, the first step
in a movement which now at last seems
likely to produce the result we have
aimed at.
There is another Boston organ that
rebelled against tho interference of the
National Administration in the political
affairs of Massachusetts during the re?
cent struggle of decenoy and honesty

The Transcript followed the lead of the
Advertiser, and thus spoke its mind: "It
should be understood at Washington, in
the Department and by Congress, that
oustom houses and revenue offices and
navy yards do not exist for the benefit
of placemen or their masters. Strong
in advocating and supporting unity and
nationality, ever ready to sustain the
National Government within its sphere
aud the exercises of its special function*,
tho free and true Republicans of this
commonwealth will, on the other hand,
make themselves heard, as they show
the determination, at all hazards, to
suffer no corrupting outside powers to
ateal the control of their local affairs."
TUE PhILLIPS-WaDDELIi Coiihes
pondexce.?The pen and ink contro?
versy between Messrs. Phillips, of At?
lanta, and Waddoll, of Eafaula, has
culminated iu the publication of thirty
'soveu letters, which have been written
during the preliminaries. It is dreary
reading?a patent office report would be
thrilling iu comparison?yet Phillips'
honor is satisfied, though the vindica?
tion of his dead undo is by no means
revenged. It seoins to have been a
positive back down on tho part of
Waddell, who is "posted" by Phillips as
as a man lost to honor and the subject
of shame, aud is dismissed to tho con?
tempt of tho world, which is doubtless
better for Waddoll thnu a dozen buck
shot under his cuticle.
Tho Dagsltilcgraf, of Copenhagen,
gives Bomo particulars of the recent
"home rule" movement in Iceland.
The Icelanders ask: That they shall in
future be conneoted with Denmark by a
personal onion only, and bo governed
by a yarl (viceroy,) with three Ministers
responsible- to the Althing; that no
tuxes shall be levied in Iceland to de?
fray expenses of tho Danish Govern?
ment; that a special Minister bo ap?
pointed for Icelandic affairs; and that
this arrangement be'valid for six years.
The committee to which these requests
were referred has reported in their
favor, and tho King has been recom?
mended to approve tbem.
No Tax ok German Newspapers.?
With roference to the complaints which
were recently mado that newspapers
printed in this country iu the Germau
language were subjected to tax when re?
ceived iu Prussia, the post office de?
partment addressed a letter to the post
office authorities of the German Em?
pire, and a reply has been received
from Berlin that for the newspapers iu
the German language coming under
bond from tho Uuited States of Ameri?
ca, which are directed to the Kingdom
of Prussia, a newspaper tax is no longer
collected from those to whom they arc
addressed by the post offices on that
side.

Fatal Railroad Accident?Two Mes
KltliBO akp Sbvetbai, Isj?bed.?A ter?
rible and fatal accident ooourred on the
Charlotte, Cclambia and Augusta Rail?
road, yesterday morning, about fifteen
minutes past U o'dock, five miles and a
half above Columbia, at the entrance to
a cut, near wbat is known as Lightwood
Knot Springs, and a mile and a half
from Staok's turn out, by d collision be?
tween the down passenger and an irregu?
lar train. The reautt wan, that Fay mas?
ter T. Elliot Orchard and a colored
amployee of the road, named James
Aroher, were killed; Engineer Rowlaud
Williamson had his thigh broken and
was otherwise injured, and several other
persons received slight injuries. The
two locomotives were badly broken up,
two oxpress oars smashed and two pas?
senger cars considerably damaged. Ma?
nager W. R. Cathcart, of the Western
Union Telegraph Office in this city, was,
fortunately, on board the passenger
train; he immediately cut the telegraph
wire, and by tapping with another wire,
communicated the intelligence to Co?
lumbia, receiving a reply on his tongue.
A relief train, with surgeons and road?
men, under direction of Mr. F. H. Gor?
don, immediately afterwards proceeded
to the Bcene of the disaster. The details
of the accident, as far as we could learn,
are as follows:
The regular pansenger train went out
on time, followed shortly afterwards by
the Road Paymaster's traiu?locomotive
and passenger car. The up and down
pasBeuger trains meet ot Killian's?four
and a half miles from Lightwood Knot.
Tho down passenger train?Conductor
William H. Trezevant?left the meet?
ing point on time, and was proceeding
rapidly towards Colombia, when upon
rounding a curve at Lightwood Knot
Springs, the Paymaster's train appeared
in sight, scarcely more than forty yardB
off. Engineer Robert Jamison immedi?
ately blew dowu brakes, reversed his
engine aud leaped off, followed by his
fireman. Tho engiueer strnck on his
bead, and almost immediately after?
wards the collision occurred, and he
was completely covered with the debris,
but not seriously hurt. The fireman
was unhurt.
The supposition is that the Paymas?
ter's watch was slow, as be expected to
make Staok's turn-out before the ar?
rival of the dowu passenger train, and
waB still a mileand a half ont, when the
locomotives struck. As tho down train
hove in sight, the colored fireman, with
the premonitory notice to Engineer
Rowland Williamson, "Look our for
yourself, boss!" leaped safely to the
ground. Paymaster T. Elliot Orchard
was seated in the engineer's chair on the
locomotive, and as the crash came, he
was jammed under the wreck, and so
severely injured that he died shortly
after being released. Engineer William?
son was also caught, and had his right
thigh broken, his ankle injured, and
was out and bruised about the body.
As the "down brakes" signal was given
on tho passenger train, a colored man,
named James Archer, jumped to the
brakes, but before he could give more
than one or two turns, the trains came
together, and his legs were jammed and
crushed between them. The poor fel?
low fell on his face, and died in a short
timo. A colored nowsboy, named Wal?
lace, who, rendes in this city, was on
the platform, and got his right foot
caught and badly mashed.
The tenders of each locomotive were
literally telescoped into the cars in the
rear. The passenger train consisted of
two express, one baggage, one smoking
and one passenger car. The first ex?
press car was smashed aud its contents
i scattered on the roadside, while the
second?in which Messenger W. C.
Graham was seated?mounted the ruins
and was also demolished. The mcasen
?gcr was thiowu several feot in the nir
land fell amoug the debris, cutting his
head slightly?it was a wonderful pre
i aervation from death. The baggage car
was driven into the end of tho smoking
car, and it was here tin ; Archer lost bis
life. A- passenger?Mr. Tough?was
seated near the door of this car, chat?
ting with Archer, when he heard two
! sharp, quick blasts from the whistle,
and suspecting danger, moved to the
centra of the car, just in time to avoid
1 the orash?his former seat was demo?
lished. The passengers in the rear car
knew nothing of the affair until it was
1 all over?having experienced only a
slight jar?and escaped injury. There
were nearly forty persons on board,
' about one-third of them ladies. A kind
hearted family iu the neighborhood,
when they were made aware of the acci?
dent, repaired to the scene of tho disas?
ter, and rendered material assistance.
As soou as possible, the passengers went
to tho assistance of the wounded men,
aud worked with a will to release them
from thoir terrible situations.

He had been in tbe employment, of tbe
railroad company for several years, and
was an earnest worker/ He ie said to
have been perfectly cool- begged those
aroand him to release him as soon. as
possible, or he woold be burnt up; eon
versed freely, and moved bis body
several times, when neaes?ary. His last
i?tc.?giul? norde were: "What will my
dear mother do without mel" He died
soon after be was released.
James Archer (colored) is spoken, of
very favorably by hie employers; be -was
engaged on tbe railroad and was at the
time in charge of a sick colored lad,
whom he was conveying to the hospital.
When the whistle blew, be sprang, to
the brake, and lost his life. He was
well known in Colombia.
We are informed Mr. Williamson jras
making his first trip as engineer.' He
had been firing for a length of time, bat
was regarded as perfectly reliable. His
thigh was badly broken and his ankle
injured; it is also feared that he is in?
jured internally; he was very comforta?
ble last night. Mr. Jamison is a vete?
ran in engineering, bnt says it gives
him the horrors to think of passing
tbrongh another snob ordeal. Mr. Gra?
ham regards bis preservation as provi?
dential. The news-boy, Wallace, ap?
peared to suffer bnt little, although bis
foot was severely injured. The demo?
lished locomotives were the "B. F. Tay?
lor" aud "James Gadsden."
A speoial train conveyed the tbrongh
passengers to Angnsts. The traok will

James Archer, and tbe verdict was ren?
dered that the 'deceased came to his
death from a oollision on the Charlotte,
Colombia and Augusta .Railroad. The
inquest over the remains of Mr. T. E.
Orchard was postponed until to-day, at
12 o'clock.
T. Elliot Orchard.?This yonng
man, whose sadden death occurred yes?

where he has resided during the greater
part of bis life. He was qniet, unas?

Iu a family of nine ohildren, nearly all
of whom have attained their majority,
this is the first death which has oc?
ean ed. His bereaved relatives have the
sympathy of the entire community.
The funeral services of the deceased will
be held this afternoon, at half-past 4
o'clock, in the Presbyterian Church.
Chaos.?The office of . the Southern
Express Company in this oity presented
