Friday Homing, May 7,187?. The Outrage Mill Must Cease to Run. True to their instincts and following out their .paltry and narrow ideas, the newspapers which favor tho third term and Bwear by the Administration at all hazards, are pouring hot shot into Hon. ?W. D. Kelley. ThiB gentleman has dis? played the bloody spirit till he has become ashamed of it, and with the politician's keen scant, ho has discerned that the tide, is taming, that humbug and misrepresentation, as rogards the South, aro not any longer potent instru? ments of rule and inflnence. He has sung his recantation, ho regrets his sup? port of the I<'orco Bill, he has traveled in ? South Carolina and Georgia, and ''talked with Confederate, soldiers, Northern .men, negroes,' 'carpet-baggers and tra? velers, and he was surprised at the good feeling 'existing.f He has announced his purpose to take no more stock in Southern outrages. Thus we have an? other striking testimony to be added to ..that of -Messrs. Fhelps and Foster at New Orleans, .that the South is as peace? ful and quiet us the North. But this is just what a wretched faction of place seekers and offlco-holders are unwilling that the country should- believe, and .'they hasten in full cry after those who, ?as correspondents of respectable jour? nals, like the Tribune, Herald and Times, of New York, or as members of Con . gress, dare to tell unpalatable truth. vOf course, as the New York Tribune ? observes, these dishonest criticisms upon honest witnesses have no importance in themselves, but they may have a serious significance as indications of the temper .?of the Administration. When Mr. Wil < 1 isms .surrendered his seat in the Cabinet - to Mr. Edward' Pierrepont, the country i breathed more freely, in tho belief that . outrage campaigns were over. The unanimity with which the official press is belaboring Judge Kelley for Baying ? that the Foree Bill was entirely uncalled . for, hints, however, at the purpose of vynose in power, to try onco more the ex? periment which ended so badly last No? vember. If that is their purpose, their /final overthrow is certain. Of course, (that is their purpose, and we ore rejoiced to have the strong words of the Tribune in condemnation of it, and in the predic? tion that it is destined to disgraceful failure. We heartily echo its sentiment, that the renewing of ancient friendships and strengthening of national ties be? tween the different sections of our country, are the most marked phenomena ?of this centennial era. The celebrations which we have had and are yet to have .- in connection with it, will do much to . make force bills, military elections, and -the whole recent polioy of the Adminis? tration towards the South, impossible for .the future. --mJjp^p Mind and the Nervous System. Upon the occasion of his re-election to the Presidency of the Nemologicol So? ciety, of New York, Dr. W. A. Hammond delivered a remarkable address on tho thoory that tho spinal cord, to some ex? tent, share's with tho brain the faculties ?of perception and volition. He pre? sented experiments and observations, in ?confirmation of his view, whioh are diffi? cult to explain on any; other hypothesis. It is a subject which will no doubt elicit much discussion, and specific proof will be sought and insisted upon before it con bo conceded that unconscious movements ?such as walking in an accustomed path, or playing on a musical instrument while tho thoughts are Otherwise en? gaged, and perhaps far away?are pro? duced, independently of tho brain, by force emanating from the spinal cord. Dr. Hammond's leoture contains many interesting facts. The nerve substance of the brain exceeds in bulk and woight all the rest of the fcervous system put to? gether. The researches of Europe en observers give 49} ounces as the weight of the average brain of the white inhabi? tant of Europe, the maximum being that ofCuvior, 64 j ounces, and the maximum consistent with a fair degree of intelli? gence, 34 ounces. Estimates put the American brar *\t 52.00 ounces, and the average full negro brain is 46.90 ounces. Daniel Webster's brain weighed 03$ ounces, and its capacity is the largest on record, being 122 cubio inches. The average in the Teutonic family, including English, Germans and. Americans, is 02 cubic inches. In the native African ne? gro,-it is 83 Cubio inches, and in the Australian and Hottentot, only 75. A Kitjimr Question.? Tho Now York .Sun puts Mr. Beeoher in a very bad light hy the followii^^fon: "If Mr, B, waft W Jready, without her husband's knowlodge, to bring this wife (reforrina, to ^rs. Tilton) before, the ?jecrct,tribunal vof his own society, and undor,his control, there to cast reproach on the husband and clear the skirts of the accused paramour, why is he now unwilling to bring h? before the tribunal of the law to. again toU her?exoulpatory story under tho ordinary rule* of evi? dence,?!*; . ?'n..r-a-Ji.'Tv> .s?'?.?'-'i '<. s > An. advor?somont in the Washington Star reads: "If you. want to bo well? -dressed wear a..Warwick cojlor,.and have your hoots bla^WtU. ? It must be warm weather at the capital to admit of such a wardrobe.' . i , ? :'('!')iiH i'' - [" ' ?'Johnstons 'Whtt or LornsiAKA."?A correspondent of tho Cincinnati Enquirer' furnishes that paper with a copy of a Bong onco celebrated1 in social circles hu der the above name. It was a parody on ?\Roy's Wife of Aldavulloch," nnd. written by Warren R. Davis, of this State, who was a gifted or&tor and writer of vers de socicte. One of his witty effusions appeared in the Anderson In? telligencer, in the summer of 1873, a gem of keen sarcasm and flowing humor, representing a scene in Hades, which we should like t'> sec ropublishcd. The poem below is wholly different in spirit, being tondor, plaintive and touching in its sadness: It was composed in compliment to the wife of Hon. Josiah S. Johnston, United States Senator from Louisiana from 1824 to 1833, when he was killed by tho ex {dosion of the steamer Lioness, on lted liver. Senator JohnKton was, Fbelieve, a brother of Albert Sidney Johnston, tho distinguished Confederate General, who fell in the battle of Shiloh, and uncle of J. Stoddard Johnston, whoso name is now conspicuously before tho Democracy of Kentuoky as a cundidate for Governor. As tho song of "Johnston's Wife of Lou? isiana" has been long out of print, I herewith enclose you a copy, which I have had in my possession for nearly forty years. Johnston's wife of Louisiana!

Cotton Statistics.?Tho New York World has an editorial article on the cot? ton supply, embodying some valuable facts, which will be of interest to our readers: The total receipts of cotton at the porta from tho 1st of September, 1874. to the 21th of April, 1875, were 3,284,706 bales, and for the corresponding period of last year, 3,514,615 bales. This shows a decrease in receipts thus far in 1875 of 260,909 bales. The total shipments to foreign ports from the 1st of September, 1874, to the present date, amount to but 2,225,239 bales, against 2,424,21(5 bales for tho same period of last year*, showing a decrease in exports of 198,977 bales. At first sight, it seoms surprising that a shipment of cotton short by ncarlv 200,000 bales, together with the prospect of short receipts from this date until the new cotton year in September, as com? pared with the samo period of last year, should exercise so little influence on the price of cotton at home and abroad; for cotton is to-day fully \ cent a pound cheaper in Liverpool than last year, and '21t cents a pound cheaper than in 1873. The explanation, however, is readily found in tho dullness of tho market for cotton goods and in the diminished eon sumption of cotton by foreign as well as by domestic mills. The shipments from the United States to Europe from the 1st of September, 1873. to tho 2Cth of April, 1874, amounted to 2,424,21(5 bales. The stock of American cotton in Europe and afloat was at that time 1,217,000 bales, allowing that Europe used from tho 1st (if September to the20th of April, 1,177,21(5 bales of American cotton. Now let us turn to the present cotton year. We sent to Europe from tho 1st of Sep? tember, 1S74, to the 26th of April, 1H75. 2,225,239'bales of cotton. On the 2Gth of April, the stock of American cotton in Europe and afloat was 1,142,000 bales, showing that Europe consumed 93,977 bales less of American cotton during this period of nearly eight months than during the same period of the previous yoar. In other words, the unusual stag | nation of trado in cotton fabrics made our short shipment?short bv ncarlv 200,000 bides?less felt than "it would have been if tho ordinary amount of business had been done. *Dut dull as tho cotton trado of Europe has been, with the consumption short by nearly 100,000 bales in eight months, it iu nevertheless true that the visible supply of American cotton in stock in Europe and afloat is diminished by some 40,000 bales, as compared with the same period of last year. And it is but reasonable to assume that should thero bo merely an indication of a revival of trado in cotton fabrics in Europe, which will naturally run chiefly on the American staple, the short supply from here would at once be felt. The present cotton orop was over? estimated by 400,000 bales or more, for it was at one time supposed that the supply would reach 4,833,000 bales,, whereas the most sanguine now reduce these figures to 3,750,000 or to 3,800,000 bales. If follows, therefore, that the hopes for a plentiful supply qf cotton during the Iakt four month'? of the* pro sent calendar year depend entirely on the new crop, naif of which is not yet in the ground. The vicissitudes of the how crop will, therefore, be watched with great intorest If a revival of trade should set in here and in Europe, not only an average but a plentiful crop for the year 1875-6 would be required to make good tho comparatively moderate supply now on hand.

If yesterday wasn't a gala day, what was it? Everybody was out. Mr, Frank Palmer, of tho Columbia Hotel billiard Kaloon, has furnished uh with copies of lato New Orleans papers. You can got all stylos of jpb printing, from a visiting card to a four-sheet post? er, at the pwknxx office. Prices satisfac? tory. Old Porter, tho popular fiddler of the olden time, is in the city. Porter has a hankering for his old home. "Grind on, Porter," will be recognized by many. Tho prizes for the colored firemen's tournament, which takes place on the 11th inst., are seven in number, and of elegant design and finish. They are on exhibition at Stanley's China store. Mr. H. F. Franck has furnished us with several eggs which are a little more fractured than any wo have yet seen. That hen was badly fractured. The firomen's tournament has been numberod with the things that were. The 4th of July appears in the distance. But that was a rebellion, and its celebra? tion may be indiscreet. , The missing cross nnd diamond pin matter is exciting a great deal of com? ment and inquiry, and it will be fully investigated. There is a screw loose somewhere. The tribes of Improved Order of Bed Men in this city have received an invita? tion from their sister tribes of Wilming? ton, N. C, through the Vice Great Inco honee of that State, to participate in tho celecration of St. Tannin's Day, on the 12th of May, tho nntal day of the order, by a parade, address and ball. The temperance orders in this city arc rapidly increasing in membership. Many have connected themselves with the order recently to whom water was a strange beverage. Let tho good work go on. There is a vast field for labor, and the harvest will follow strong efforts. The engineer of .Etna says the glorious achievement, of the company, at the tournament, was entiroly duo to the dose of "Queen's Delight" he took at the doc? tor shop, in tho morning. He returns thanks to Dr. Heinitsh, and wishes every body to try tho "Queen's Delight." Surr-obED Fatal Amur. ?A terrible and supposed fatal affair occurred on the premises of Col. A. R Taylor, on Arsenal Hill, last night. A colored man, named Andrew Barnes, is charged with cutting and shooting his wife, Caroline, terribly in the head, face and back of tho neck. It is thought impossible for hor to live until morning. Thewould-bo murderer escaped. Pitottri Investigation Ntancn. -The City Conncil held a meeting, yesterday afternoon, in reference to the matter of the missing articles taken from the thief, Henry Daniels, who was arrested Sunday morning. The statement of Houston Johnson, confirmed, as we understand, by an inventory of things delivered up by him to the city police, made at the time by Mr. C. F. Jackson, makes it in? cumbent on the Council to ferret out tho mystery. Mr. Kimhorough, of Augusta, from whom the jewelry nnd watches were stolen, was in the city, yesterday, but had not been able to recover the diamond pin and the gold cross which were deli? vered with the other articles into the bands of the city police. Ho v;as upon the point of taking out warrants for the arrest of the parties who are supposed to be implicated; but hearing of a meeting of tho Council, ho concluded to await their action. We uuoerstand that this has taken no decided or satisfactory form. Council was very much troubled with points of order, and finally broke up without arraigning any one, without taking the testimony of Mr. Jackson, and with some disagreement among them? selves, but upon what, wo have not heard. A meeting has been arranged for Mon? day. But a matter of this sort is too gravo to let alone so long. The City Council owes it to tho community, and to the wronged gentleman from Georgia, to act with promptness. ?????

M on Monday, ? ) ^?ritfcl TPri?MBw'b To ?bn ami? srrl --For1 monthtj past, the firemen of Columbia hare looked forward to the 6th of May as an occasion of unprecedented enjoy-, mont. They had looked confidently to liberal aid on the part of our citizens, both In time and money, toward making their festivities a sueeesa, and right nobly was the response made. Propara tionB for the occasion were made by com? petent managers, and nothing left un? done to realize the anticipations of either the guests or their hosts. At 6J o'clock, yesterday morning, the train from Charleston brought two steam tire en? gines?tho .Etna and Eagle- and strong delegations from Hook and Ladder Com? pany No. 1 and a delegation from the Marion Steam Fire Company, with their reel. They were mot at the depot by tho Independent, Palmetto and Pk'rnixCom panies of this city, in connection with tho following gentleman as a reception conmiittoo: Capt. W. B. Stanley, Col. F. W. McMaster, Mnj. John Meighan, Capt. John S. Wiley. Col. Thos. Doda mead, W. C. Fisher, Esq. The Phu nix Company took charge of the Marion reel, and escorted tho delegations cf th? Ma? rion and Charleston No. 1 to their quar? ters; the Independents escorted the Eagle 1 to their quarters, and the Palxicttoes took chorgo of the .TStnas. Tho guests of the Independent the Eagle- -were tho recipients of the hospitalities of the for? mer on a previous occasion, and this occasion renewed old acquaintances. We had m arly omitted to mention a de? legation from the Stonewall, of Charles? ton. Chief Engineer F. L. O'Neil ac? companied the visitors. The halls of the different fire companies were hand? somely decorated with evergreens and flowers, hodqnotH and wreaths, banners and streamers, symbolic paintings and tasty work of the same nature in flowers end evergreens, with expressive invita? tions of welcome to theinbrother firemen from the City by the Sea. Capt. John Dorsey, of the Independents, welcomed the Eagles in a spirited and cordial man? ner, which was responded to by by Capt. Pheifer, of the Eagles, in the language of a true fireman; when the guests and their hosts partook of a line collation. Tho iEtnas were cordially received in a few appropriate remarks by Capt. W. B. Stanley, of the Palmetto, which met hearty and beautiful responses from Major E. Willis and Mr. John Armstrong, of the JEtnu?the hitter giving a pretty sentiment to the city, and expressing-!* foretaste of the enjoyments of the tourn? ament. The two companies then par? took of breakfast,, which was served under the excellent superintendence of Messrs. Stokes, Hoisi?, Pollock and (lads den, of the hosts. The Charleston No. 1, Marion and Stonewall delegations wore welcomed at tho Phoenix house by ('apt. Little, which was feelingly ac? knowledged by the guests. Tho visitors and their hosts then enjoyed a bountiful collation. After enjoying themselves as their inclinations led them, until 11 o'clock, tho companies were then formed and proceeded to Assembly street, in front of St Peter's Church, where they woro called from their machines to a solid mass, when Mayor Alexander tendered them the hospitalities of the city, and Col. F. W. McMaster. at the request of the Mayor, added a few cheering words of hope and welcome. Tho line of march was then taken up, and the procession, which was a quarter mile in length, moved throngh Taylor to Main street. Main to Iiiehland, ltichland to Suuitor, Sunder to Gervais, Gervais to Main, Main to Blanding, and halted in front of the Palmetto Engine House. I where the officers of the companies drew for.their turns in the order of exercises. The Phouix Axe, Hook and Ladder Company drew the first turn, tho Charleston Hook and Ladder No. 1 second, tho Palmetto third, Independent third, Eagle fourth. .Etna fifth, Marion hose reel sixth, and Palmetto hose reel seventh; the other reel not entering the contest. Tho Phoenix started from opposite Hardy Solomon's store, on Main street, manned by twenty-six men, and ran a distance of 20(1 yards to the Carolina Na? tional Bank, look off all ladders down to and including the thirty feet ladder, niised this last ladder against tho bank building, which wus ascended by Mr. W. J. LaMotte, be touching the top round and descending, when the ladders were replaced on the truck, buckled down, and time called; when it was shown that this splendid feat was ac? complished in the remarkably short time of 1.08V. Tho delegation from Charleston No. 1 then took tho truck of tho Pho-nix, and performed tho sumo manomvres, in 1.35. This performance was accomplished under great disadvantages, and we feol assured that tho time made is no crite? rion of the abilities of the company. They had never been over tho ground before, and bad no experience as to the test they would bo subjected to; whereas their competitors have practiced over the trial ground nightly for some timo past A fatiguing travel of tho previous night, the long inarch of yesterday, and the machino and ground being new to them, were disadvantages, but, nevertheless, they acquitted themselves handsomely. The Palmetto thon took position in front of tho old Southern Express office, with thoir reel close up. Ab soon as twenty pounds of steam was raised, the word was given for tho start, when the company moved off handsomely, making a run of 300yards, with eight men to 1,000 pounds weight' of engine, reeled off and uncoupled 100 feet of hose, took suction at a well in the middle of. the street, op? posite Scott & Sons' bank, and played a stream of water 100 feet, when timo was called by tho judges, and marked in a conspicuous place. Time 2.06. There was somo derangement in the raising of steam by tho Palmetto, which accounts for tho timo consumed. The actual run made was splendid. I The Independents then came up, and . nerved themselves to thoir task. They accomplished th i feat in the romarkable time of I.2SL This announcement was receive?! with" rousing "cheers, and many preHcnt believed it to be the best time made. Bets, which had been freely made in tho morning, now quickened, and the contest became warmer. Tho independ? ents hoisted a crowing cock as ai sign of what was supposed tb be victory. QThe Eagle next came up: in position, and hope and victory seemed expressed in every conntenance. At the word, they got under way splendidly, and ac? complished tho task ? marked out for steamers in tho magnificent time of 1.23. This was considered the victory, as no such time had been expected. Cheer after cheer rent the air, and the Inde? pendents joined heartily in congratulat? ing their victorious guests. But there was another engine to make an effort. The /Etna then came up, and notwith? standing the excellent time already made, they were confident that they could surpass it. The lookers-on grew anxious, every one was on the top round of expectation, and all looked for the .Etna to full behind the best time already made. IJut they knew not the gallant competitors who were to. verify the axiom that "the last shall be the first" At the word of command, tho /Etna started, aud accomplished the feat in the unprecedented time of 1.1UJ. Then the shouts of delight wero perfectly wild, and for a long time continued. The steamer whistled, the liromen shout? ed, and everybody seemed wild with ex eitement over tho unexpected victory. Tho lager flowed freely, congratulations were general, and the victors were proud of their fame, g By some unfortunate interference, the judges had to take into consideration as to whether the JEtna hod properly ac? complished the feat, but after consulta? tion, it was decided she had. The Marion reel started from in front of Bowen A LaFar's store, ran 300 yards to the hydrant at Shi vor A Co.'s corner, attached the hose to the hydrant, un? reeled 300 feet of hose, an?t threw n stream of water in 1.17}. The Palmetto reel accomplished the same fent in 1.131. On the run of 300 yards, the .'Etna gained (i pounds steam; the Eagle 15; Independent 10; Palmetto 5. Col. Dodameau then presented the prizes to the victorious companies, us follows: Hook and Ladder Companies?Phoe? nix, first prize, $75; Charleston No. 1, second prize, $50. Steam Fire Engiuc Companies?.Etna, fiist prize, $100; Eagle, second prize, $75. The Eaglo de? clined to receive the award as a prize, and at request of the company, the amount will be turned over to the Pal? metto Orphan's Home, of Columbia. Thus ended the exercises of a gala day among the firemen. The tourna? ment was a handsome success, and everybody seomed carried away with pleasant excitement. The festivities were up to the standard of the most san? guine. We noticed on the drags of the Indo Eundent that veteran fireman, Mr. Lewis levy, who is a charter member of tho company, and observed in tho procession a carriage with two other votenins, in tho persons of Mr. C. V. Carrington and Mr. Isaac Morgan, both of whom ore charter members of the Independents. Among tho visitors, we wero pleased to see that ever-ready aud willing fireman, dipt. J. J. Mickey. The procession was headed by tho band of the 18th United States Infantry, under the leadership of Prof. Buchar, and accompanied by the Columbia Silver Cornet Band, in a new and handsome uniform, under tho leadership of Prof. Ly Brand? each discoursing excellent music throughout the exercises. Tho steamers were drawn by hand? some teams, driven by men who know luv.v to handle the reins. The apparatus of each company was beautifully fes? tooned with flowers and evergreens, and decorated with mottoes and banners. The day was generally observed as o holiday, most places of business being closed, and trie proprietors and em? ployees taking part in the ceremonies. The streets and buildings in the vicinity of the friendly contest wero crowded with ladies, and every window and door thereabouts was filled with female love? liness. The streets wero crowded with old age and youth, men and boys?in i fact, it was as though the whole popula ; tion had determined to give themselves j up to the enjoyments of the occasion. The time judges, the starting judges : and the committee of arrangements-all gentlemen of experience and ability j gave unqualified satisfaction in the dis charge of the duties which thny so cheer I fully performed, and to their unsur j passed management is to be ascribed much of the success and pleasure of the firemen's tournament. The name of John T. Sloan, Jr., Esq.. was accidently omitted from the nub i I hshed committees, but that gentleman acted energetically. Tho police dosorve great credit for the I faithful discharge of their duties, i ? ? Hon. W. W.

A Yol'no Mautyb.?The death of Miss Fitzgerald, of Paterson, N. J., by kero seno burning, heretofore announced, was u case of martyrdom. In getting out of bed to procure relief for a tooth-ache, she upset the lamp and set fire to the bed. Her first thought was not of her? self, but of some. children who wero sleeping in the same room with her, and she carried them out, and ran into the street, all burning and naked as she was. tho blinding snow affording a grateful sense of relief. Her cries aroused the other inmates of the house, among them Dr. Cahill and his brother William, who nvn to her rescue and carried her into [ the houso, young Cahill getting his I hands severely burned in so doing. Meanwhile, the unfortunate girl was suf? fering untold agony from her burns. Her whole body, from her neck down, was burned?her sides to n crisp, and her feet und limbs so that the skin peeled off j and fell down in strips. But she bore her sufferings like a martyr, and when Dr. Cab ill applied oil nnd lime water to ease hor pain, she said, gratefully: "That feels good; I shall never forget you, doc? tor." It was evident that her injuries were fatal, and that all that was possible to ba done for her was to ease hor pain. She lingered till about 1.30 o'clock, when she died. The Shelby vi Ho (Tenn.)
