nor, -who, Oh the day bf thanksgiving far
the recovery of the Prince of Wales, at-i
tampted to shoot the Queen, was again,
arrested on the 5th instant. ""Syhile the
Queen was holding a drawing-room at
Buckingham Palace, O'Connor was found

Tho Times, of this morning, says there
could hardly havo been a more critical
situation than existed in Berlin upon the
arrival of the t Emperor of Russin. Tho
Germrm Government may be. able to de?
clare a hostile Government was never of?
ficially entertained, but a few days since
thore was serious danger that warlike
counsels would provoil. fJV*e may sup?
pose Princo Gortschakoff courteously ex?
pressed a determination to treat as an
enemy tho first Stato disturbing peace.
In spite of England's attitude of reserve,
we believe the Government thought it a
national duty in tho reoont crisis, to ex?
press its opinion very decisively in re?
gard to the maintenance of peace. Tho
communication was amicable and a most
.satisfactory reply returned. Franco has
expressed the acknowledgment of Eng?
land's friendly attitude. The Da'dy Jfeics
reports the Czar has mentioned his de?
sire to confer with M. Thiers unofficially
in relation to European affairs. The
Daily Telegraph is informed that Russia
has given England friendly and satisfac?
tory assurances in regard to Central
Asia.
Paws, May 13.?La Volonte, the na?
tional- organ of Prince Napoleon, in a
leading article, declares if the Prince
Imperial should die, Prince Napoleon
would never clniini^ tho throne. The
prinoiplo of hereditary succession is
dead. A third empire, aiming at tho
restoration of Princo Napoleon or his
nephew, would end in ruin. The article
concludes: "We never doubted that
France, even if consulted through a
plebiscite, would energetically pronounce
in favor of the republic, which is the
form of Government most compatible
with universal suffrage."
Quebec, May 14.?The British steam?
ship Chesapeake, from Hull for Montreal,

About 11 o'clock, a fight took place be?
tween the few police and the strikers,

There is no police force sufficient to pro?
test the willing workmch, and the
Sheriff is dilatory. L. G. Cotttri, editor
of JAVda, who, on Monday, was captured
by tho strikers, is at Tyrone, with forty
Italians, determined to put them at work
I with proper protection. Affairs in Clear
i field County are in a bad state, and

perjury, was tried, and the jury rendered
a verdict of guilty. The petition of
David Johnson, Union County, for final

In the Circuit Court, Chief Justice
Waite and Judge Bond presiding, tho

Postal Telegraph.--Tho scheme of a
postal telegraph in this country has
almost disappeared from public notice,
but the United States Economist says a
powerful moneyed interest is in favor of
it, and will be heard from so soon as the
shares of existing telegraph companies
are run up to prices sufficiently high to
realize fortunes by a Government pur?
chase. With this warning it becomes a
matter worthy of note that, according
to the budget recently presented in tho
English House of Commons, the Govern?
ment postal telegraph in that country
has by no means proved to be the suc?
cess that was anticipated. The Chancel
lar of the Exchequer, Sir Stafford North
cote, said tho expenses last year were
$500,000 more than the net earnings,
while the payments npon the annual
interest of tho purchase money, $1,725,
000 a year, have been virtually suspend?
ed. Ihis shows a deficiency of abont
$2,250,000, which must be made good
from other sources. It also appears that
there is very little prospect of any imme?
diate financial improvement.
A. T. Stewart is famous fur his dinner
parties, which are usually given on Sun?
day. He has one of tho finest wine vaults
in Now York, and brands of brandy, port
and sherry that no one else in the coun?
try can boast of. His table service is
magnificent. One silver dinner set,
lined with gold, was made in London
two years ago at a coBt of $47,500. It
consists of over 200 pieces. Then he has
a famous Dresdon china Bet of 200 or 300
pieces, in whioh no less than seventy
different colors are introduced. The
china is transparent, and on holding it
to tho*light, the monogram, "A. T. S."
can be seen like water-mark in note paper.
Mr. Stewart is a very entertaining host,
and ho likes the character amazingly.
He has.the best trained' servants in the
city, and his dinners puss off in the me?
thodical and systematic manner of olock
I work. -His wife and niece (Mrs. Butler)
I usually assist him in dispensing-the hos
I pitalities of the "white marble palace. "
Dr. C. R. Thompson, of Fort Motto,
died on the 30th ultimo, of pneumonia.
Judgo Xolley has oommitted the un- j
Safdonable offence against tho Grant and
ameron Republican loaders of telling
the truth about the South, and they arc
snarling nnd snapping at his beds like
mud. True, he but tells what every re?
putable Republican Congressman has
testified for nearly two years, but never?
theless he is jeered and hunted clear out
of the party lines by the organs which
worship at the altar of post offices und
official advertisements. If all men who
think just as Judge Kclley thinks on the
Southern question are to,be driven out
of the Republican ranks, the mass of Re?
publican voters would bo outside, nnd
the party left to consist of a few hired
organs, without circulation or influence,
und a few post office holders without
character or leadership.

The Little Kock tArk.1 Oatrite gives
the details of a terrible tragedy in Sevier
County, m ar Nebo Church, on the loth.
A farmer was visiting a neighbor, and
having presentiment of evil, in company
with a Texan returned to his house,
where .. ho observed a light burning.
Peering; in the window the two men saw
four robbera counting the money which
they had stolen. Roth men being armed
with double-barrelied shot guns,- fixed
upon and killed all the robbers, and then
entering the house the farmer was crazed I
by the sight of his murdered wife and
two children.

Some more witnesses were called in
Brooklyn, yesterday, to contradict what
another lot had previously sworn to.
We shall have to work out this problem
finally by cancellation, putting all the
statements of tho prosecution on one
side und all the statements of the de?
fence on the other, and striking out
thoso that disagree. What remains ought
to give us the answer, only we are not
sure that there would then be anything
left.
Nathaniel Eabm, of Sutton N. H., cele?
brated his 100th birth-day on Tuesday
and died on the Monday following, "of
pneumonia brought on by the excite?
ment of the birth-day celebration," the
telegrams to the papers say. This iB cer?
tainly a curious cause for pneumonia.
But this' death is really o feather in Sir
George Lewis' cap. The old man hud
just reached his full period and then fell
off like a ripe apple.
Disastrous Fire. ?The gin and mill
house, together with engine and fixtures,
of Col. James MoCutchen, of Indian
Town, S. C, was totally destroyed by

operation; loss $2,000, on which there
was no insurance. This is the second fire
in that place in 1 jss than a week?the
other being the tine dwelling of Mr. F.

Tho great weather seer of St. Louis,
Prof, lice, has given his opinion about
the recent cold snap. Ho affirms that
"the frigoriiie wind*' of a week ago was
not a polar wave, but a "discharge from
an immense atmospheric cylinder, with
a barrel or 000 miles iu diameter,
down which flows an ccriul maelstrom
from the surface of the atmosphere."
This ho is willing to swear to.

The Town Council of Spartnnbnrg are
