Trouble Among the Countv Cbedi-I tors.?There was considerable flutter yesterday among the people who have most to do with County uffairs. The facts of tho cane, as nearly as can be gathered, are these: Last year, the General Assembly authorized tbe levy of a tax of two mills to pay tbe past in? debtedness of Charleston County, but, by the terms of the law authorizing the levy, tbe money was directed to bo re? tained iu the County treasury until pro? vision for disbursement ? had been made by legislative enactment. Tbc money was accordingly collected?between ,?50.000 nud $60,000. A joint resolu? tion to provide for its disbursement was passed by the General Av*embly a short time ago, but is still without the Go? vernor's signature. In the meantime, three or four kuowiug ones, it is said, formed a ring und purchased about $51,000 worth of claims agaiust the County at a liberal discount. These claims were swiftly and silently prose? cuted to judgment, as we aro informed, without opposition from the Solicitor of the Citouit. Judgments were obtained, and yesterday the Sheriff levied upon the fund. Tho County Treasurer sur? rendered the money, and the captured fund was at onoe applied iu settlement of the claims held by tbe ring of judg? ment creditors. Tho others applied to Judge Graham for au injunction to re- \ strain the Couuty Treasurer from pay? ing out the fund. The injunction wus granted by Judge Graham, but it came too late. The Treasurer had surrender-1 ed to tbe Sheriff, aud tho fund was out ' of the reach of the court, the lust named officer having distributed it in satisfaction of the judgments uuder which he was operating. Tho unpaid creditors charge openly that tho entire transaction is a put up job on the part of the Sheriff, Solicitor aud County Treasurer, and that the Governor is [ party to the plot, his part consisting in | withholding tbe law to regulate tbe did-1 bnrsemeut of tho fund. They declare that they will prosecnte the case to tho bitter eud, aud talk of bringing suit on tho official bonds of some of the c Ulcers. There will bo a full henriug of tbe case in tbe Court of Common Pleas ou Sa? turday, wheu interesting developments may be expected.?Charleston JVe?rs. An East Bridgeport, Ct., landlady, tbiukiug to pleasantly surprise one ol her boarders, embodied a gold ring, which he had lost r.nd sbo had found, in a pancake, aud placed the production on his plate at breakfast. His teeth did not happen to gat entangled in the ornament, and now it is lost again. A bronze statue of General Scott, cast at tho Philadelphia Bronze Works, lor tho Soldiers' Home at Washington, has been erected at Twolfth aud Spring Garden streets, iu tho former city, for public inspection, and it attracts general admiration. Lemon rou Couuu.?Boast the lemon very carefully without burning it; when it is hot, cut and t- laeezo into a cup upon three ounces of^sugar, finely pow? dered. Take a spoonful whenever your cough troubles you. It is good and ugreoablo to taste. Barely bus it been kuowu tfj fail of giving relief. John Barleycorn holds his own in Jeflersonville, Indiana, although the orusaders, fifty strong, have been to nil the suloous iu the last three or four weeks. The saloouists threaten to ap? ply for nu injunction to prevent them from obstructing the streets. Two negroes near Columbus, en Fri? day night, murdered Mr. Larkiu, of Clay Couuty, Ala., and attempted to murder his wife. Her screams for help aroused the neighbors, and the fiends: run away without securing nuy booty, j At a meoiing of the Greenville and ? French Broad 'lviilroad Company, nt Ashovillo ou tho 12tli, it was ascertained | that $130,050 have huan subscribed to the stock. tlov.

Acts Ai-miove?.?The Governor bos approved tbe following Acts and joint resolutions: Acts to reduce all Acts and parts of Acts providing for the assessment and taxation of property into one Act, and to amend (he same; to regulate the manner in which public funds shall be disbursed by public officers; concerning snb-marine sites for light house and other aids to navigation; to require the County Commissioners of Charleston to open a public road from Summerville to Strawberry Depot; to recharter Sarratt's Ferry, ucross Broad Biver, in Spartan burg; to incorporate the Greenvillo Workingmen's Society; to authorize thp Comptroller-General to make abate? ments of taxes; to incorporate tho Young Xleti's Christian Societ** of Chester* to amend Chapter XLV, of Title 2~ Part 1, of the General Statutes, relating to tho repairs oT highways and bridges; to charter tho Newberry and Augusta Bail road Company; to regulate the sale of intoxicating liquors, nnd to alter and auaeud the law in relation thereto; to amend Section 1, Chapter VIII, Title 2, Part 1, of the General Statutes of the State of South Carolina, relating to the time of holding general elections; to in? corporate the Chester Building and Loan Association; for the better protec? tion of land-owners, aud persons renting land to others for agricultural purposes, and to amend Acts relating thereto; to incorporate the Co-operation Society of Yoikville; to charter the Cougnree .Ma? nufacturing Company; joint resolutions to appoint a committee to investigate the financial affairs of Ulureudon County; authorizing tho Attorney-Gen? eral to iustitute legal proceedings for the recovery of possession of the pro? ceeds of all property sold by the Sinking Fund Commission. CvrttosiTlES ov Crime.?Though huuging as a punishment for murder seems to have "played out" iu tnauy of, if not all, tue States of the Union, mur? derers have recently taken to inflicting punishmeut upon themselves. Within the past few days several remarkable in? stances of this kind have occurred. Able, the Macon Cain, after shooting young Cherry, ended his own lifo with the pistol which hud killed bis friend. The woman iu Atlanta who poisoned her daughter took sufficient morphine to Bend herself to the grave. When an Italian fruit dealer iu New York ended a vendetta and the life of a partner at the same time, he rendered the plea of emotional insanity unnecessary by blow? ing out his own brains. When Henry Moss killed Mrs. Molinoamp in Lewis County, Ky., on Sunday, he anticipated lynch law and masked judges by becom? ing his own executioner. So, too, in New York, on the same day, a police? man who thought proper to divorce himself with a hatchet,' severed his jugular aud accompanied the spirit of his wife ou its journey to the land of shades. How the "GoonEit" State Tiihives. At the last session of the Georgia Legis? lature, a charter was obtained for the "Dublin Mills." It is undoubtedly one of the most favbrable held by any simi? lar corporation iu Georgia, exempting any stockholder from individual liabili? ty for the debts of the corporation, ex? ec;, t to the extent of his or her unpaid subscription, and the corporation it*elf from taxation?State, County or muni? cipal?for ten years from the timo of their commencing any of their manu? factures. The capital stock of the com? pany is Used at $150,000, in shares of SlUU. At Hosmer'a Pond, Canideu, Maine on the 10th, a young man mimed Keller, of Camdeu, accompanied by Miss lioit, of Liucoluville, was driving n top buggy on a road used for hauling ice, on tho lower end of the pond, when the teura broke through, carrying the buggy uud its occupants under the ice, aud all were drowned. Keller's body was fouud standing iu tho buggy aud that of the young lady beneath it, she having pro? bably been pitched out when the car? riage went down. The water was about a foot above the top of the carriage. The La ov DocroKS.? Quite a formid? able number of young ladies received their diplomas m medical doctors at the commencement of the Medical College for Women. There was a good deal of enthusiastic talk about extending the sphere of woman's usefulness, which was very nice and very appropriate. I3ut if ladies are going to take posses? sion of the medical profession, we fear it will become so pleasant to be sick that "no fellah" will want' to be well. The Privy Council of her Majesty, Q icon Victoria, i-; just now perplexing itself over tho case of Nilcomul Lahiree vs. Bhoobnncssnrcc Bebbyn, which is Complicated by the presence of one Hin? doo husband, two wills und three wives. Tho Hindoo husband died, the wives re? fused to be incremated, and there were not ' uotigli v. iils to go round. A letter h is been received iu this city fioiu Mr. L. 11.

There i; a "hairy child" in Wytbo Comity, Va. Tho Dis\Hilch says: "The child at this writing is about lour week old, is .n a healthy condition, is per? fectly formed in every respect. It is c >v< red :i!l ever with dark hairau eighth of an im h long, nnd, if nothing hap? pens, bids fair to be one oi the greatest curiosities of the age." , There is great excitement in Biddo lord, Me., over the discovery of the head of a beautiful young woaiiiu, iu the river. N.> clue has been obtained; md many persons declare that they saw tho individual iu the streets recently. The body has uot been recovered. The Living Volcano in North Caro? lina.?A letter from Salisbury, N. 0 , dated Maroh 17, says: Tbe vicinity of Bald Mountain, in tbe County of McDowell, near Marion, (tbe County seat,) has for several duys past been greatly agitated over mysterious noises und rumblings in tbe bowels of tbat mountain. One report from a sci? entific source states that these internal noises resemble those heard in Mouut iEtua preparatory to a volcanic erup? tion. Tho people iu that section have become so much alarmed, that families residing immediately around the base of the rumbling mouutain have taken up their necessary domestic articles and fled precipitately from the threatened im? pending eruption. Thrnnghont tho en? tire country and for a distance of six? teen miles from the mountain, extending into adjoining Counties, these sounds are not only heard, bat the trembling and reverberation of the earth is per? ceptibly felt. In numerous instances, for several miles from the mountains, the glasses have rattled in the windows and the dishes have been shaken from the shelves to such an extent as to create tbo most wide-spread consternation amoug tho rural inhabitants. This has again ciused a still greater stampede of the citizens, many of whom supersti tionsly regard the terrible symptoms as an indication of "judgment day." A passenger on tbe Western train states that it is pitiful to see the poor unso? phisticated rustics flying in such great terror, while at tho same time he be? lieves that tbe cause of the stampedo is not without its true foundation. Tho latest accounts from tho dis? turbed mountain stnte that, so far, no volcanic eruption of lava or Are has oc? curred, though tho terrific noise and internal rumblings, heard at u distance, were so great yesterday morning as to iuduce the veritable belief tbat a verita? ble and genuine volcanic outbreak had taken plueo. No sooner has Bussia un-Khivad Cen? tral Asia than evils begin to show them? selves, which produce an anarchy like the opening of Pandora's box. The population seem to have become tho? roughly demoralized, and Bussia may yet find it necessary to keep it down with its strong military arm. Only a short timo remains in which to purchase a ticket iu the Fourth Gift Concert of the Public Library of Ken? tucky, which takes place on the 31st ioBt. A quarter of a million dollars is tho attraction which cannot be ignored. Those who intend to invest have no time to lose. The steeple, 200 feet high, of the Me? thodist Church ut Danville, Va., was blown down by a heavy wind ou the 9th inBt. The loss is estimated at over $5,000, the roof of the church being also crushed iu. This is said to have been the highest steeple iu the State. Tho negro exodus from Alabama and Georgia continues. Tbe Montgomery Advertiser learns that 15,000 tickets for negro emigrants have been taken np ou the roads leading Southward und West? ward from that city. Two eoiored men, named Fred. Ham? ilton and Wm. Young, hud a difficulty iu Beaut'ort, on the 17th, when tho lat? ter was killed by a pistol in tbe hands of the former?accidentally, us hd claims. Hamilton was arrested. A D.iubury man, who received a tele? gram irora Butt'alo requesting him to go thither immediately to attend his mo ther-in-law's funeral, sternly declined, saying that he never attended celebra? tions during Lent. Tho President would liko to go to Europe with Miss Nellie this guuiuior. But as tho Danbury man is goiug, too, bo will have to stay at home, ns both cannot leave the couutry at the same time. Tho break in tho Augusta canal was mended Wednesday night, and the water turned iu. Tho damage was not serious. The factory and mills will be ruu up to their full capacity. Gov. Shepherd was "a poor boy;"' Geu. Butler was "a poor boy;" but both have become very rich by thoir daily labor. Bright examples for "poor boys," but rather bard for the couutry. Scientifically speaking, tko Siameso twins were properly classed as monsters; aud some one suggests that, practically speaking, their wives should be classed in the same category. The Mayor of Chicago has refused to veto nu ordinance allowing saloons to keep open ou Sunday. Tho ladies im? plored him to veto it, hut the mayor couldn't see it. Honor to the Dead.?Miuuto guus were fired at the Augusta arsenal at ! suurise and sunset Thursday, as a tri? bute of respect to the memory of the late ex President Fillmoro. "Fashion" is said to have been tho name a huudsomu couturiere of the eighteenth century, and renowned in London for tho tasto and elegance of the articles which she made.
