"Wc can scarcely conceive anything in the way of mutation so truly wou ucrful and extraordinary as the meta morphoses which, in the spaco of a century, has been consummated in our midst. Taking x retrospective view of this country's political infancy, U say nothing of its exceedingly limited material progress a short cent ury ago, tho phenomenon of its vastness in these respects nine, as shown in our Ceiitcuniai Exhibition, is calculated to overwhelm the leaat enthusiastic among us with surprise. How, for instance, dcci oar population at pre sent compare (in numbers we mean) wit1.; thai iioui which sprung tho noble ban.: (f our revolutiohnry heroes, who, niter successfully but tling Jur tiic independence of the colonies, took ii upon themselves to ilivliirv thai such independence was a stern icaiily ? A'or is it too much to aver that said declaration will be repeated the present year under circumstances more impressive and uingnilieonl than were those, that have distinguished any previous de claration. Well, our design in this brief aiiiclc (as its caption implies j \v:u to contrast the "JSow and Then" of tho vast and inngniiieent country wc inhabit?to indicate, for instance our amazing progress in population, in the cultivation of the soil, in manu factures of almost every description, in every sort of machinery bcairing upon ihc same, in the extent of our cuuc:::ional system, as applicable '.o the :..:~..ic-j, and probably uncquulcd Py anything ot a similar character to be met with in the world. And let it ever he borne in mind that, out of a population numbering sonic hall million one hundred years ago, a community has arisen full forty million strong, who, in this their centennial year of political inde pendence (enhanced as the occasion will be by an exhibition of material progress altogether astounding) are receiving the congratulations of the world,, what wonder that royalty itself, in the person of Uom Pedro, or even England's Quccu, should eviuco n desiro to do honor te the double occasion of our national glorification reserved for tho year 1876 ? Now, wo entertain just this opiuion of "Little Vic," that were she "ficc to choose" in this matter?her 2,rnrna,il for Americans being so well known? she would, to a certainty, bo in Phila delphia on the approaching "Fourth;" nay, in all probability, listening with quite ns much candor as rogret to the charges enumerated against her ! granfathcr, Georgo the Third, by the reader of the Declaration of Indepen dence liadiuago asidc.Jhowever, wo can well concoivo that the Queoa'a advisers, with Disraeli tit their bend, have committed a foolish .blunder (uwarc, as they must have been, of tho almost universal desire in this country to see Victoria) in causiug her to forego, at one and the same time, a magnanimous act and most delightful recreation?each alike conducive, in the in Lure, to tho 1 est possible understanding and amicable relations between the the countries. Jt is a matter, too, ns clear as light that the respectful homage she would have encountered among us would have been tho homage of the heart? the homage, in fact, of sincere admi ration and esteem, as contradistin guished from that of the unreflecting and, in some cases, besotted homage evinced toward her by the masses iu her own county. In a word, the presence of Victoria in our midst ou Independence Bay, could it have been brought about (and it eouhl), would have proved a stroke of policy on the pttrt of her ministers, calculated effectually to cement the best under standing between John and Jonathan ?such an understanding, indeed, as might have lasted many]a day. We like the whole-souled and unpreten tious bearing of Dom Pedro and his Empress, as they freely and un restrainedly mix among our varied population; nor will their departure from among us fail to elicit on the part of our people a sentiment of re gret. It is not yet too late for Eng land's Queen to honor with her pre sence our centennial demonstration, and to "dcelaro" her "independence" of a cabinet which, from the most groveling considerations, would keep her at home. Lot her come, by all means. ? i??mM" ? ? ? mm ... . LUTHERAN PIC-NIO. A Gala Day for.Sunday School ClIILDltKN ? DoiNtiS and inci dents or the Occasion. Circumstances over which we had no control prevented us from attend ing the Lutheran Pic-Nic, which came off at Andrews' Fishtrap yester day a week ago. Wo had, iiowover, tho pleasure of witnessing the procos sion ns it marched out of Town. Tho band wagon, drawn by four grays, at tracted considerable notice, and ad ded beauty and interest to the pro cession. We make the following ex tract from tho Orangcburg corres pondence of the Journal of'Commerce, which gives a lull account of the ex ercises of the day at the Fishtrap : The Lutheran Huuduy-School pic nic on Friday was a most enjoyable and pleasant affair. Our Get man citizens arc always indefatigable in their efforts on such occasions, a lid in this they were ably led by their pas tor the Rev. J. finch man rlasKcll, who has won for himselfa reputation for skill, energy, industry and tact, in arranging and carrying out a pro gramme of pleasure for the children. In the dewy morn, ths band wagon, drawn by four spaukin grays, with tall plumes nodding in their bead, and the wagon decorated with flowers, made its appearance on Kussel street ready for the march. The start was soon made and twenty-nine vehicles followed in train, each loaded with anticipated happiness, which was des tined to be amply realized. The at tendance on tho grounds was certain ly larger than that at any other of the picnics. Tho day was bright, and every circumstance auspicious. The programme for the day was a long and a merry one anil Mr. Husk ell promptly commenced d performance. Fiist came a set of hymns sung beau tifully by the children grouped under the trees, addresses by one or two of the boys, and music by the band, when the pastor bid all go and be happy. This command was enthusi astically obeyed, and tho grounds sonn were animated and cchoiug with merry people, old and young. After an interval the buglo sound [ cd the assembly, and soon the con course of happiness was massed around Mr. Ilaskol I, who was cx I plaining tho science of tho egg-hunt about to take place. It was soon un derstood, and tho line formed for the j start. At the word a shout rose that I woke the echoes of the woods, and the stream of life scattered in search among Ilm trees. All was activity now, and ever and nnon some shout of joy told that an egg and yet anoth er wa:i found by tho ddligont and de termined hunters. The ogg hunt was to decide who was to bo "kiug" and who "queen,'' and who "kuightjjjgpad "maids of honor" of the festival. No wonder, then, tho search wan dill igen t and auimatod, and in time all the eggs were found, ami the bugle, called all to the rendezvous to hoar tho result. The greatest anxiety was manifest, and hearts beat quick in suspenso. Various were tho fortunes discovered and announcod from out tho wonder ful oggs. After a whilo camo tho "good eggs" that told. Ouo after another was announced as "knight" and *'maid of honor," until tho lists wero full. But tho important ques tion wns still in suspense. Who had the golden and silver egg? How bright eyes sparkled and danced as they wondered who would be the queen. Looking over the scone, one could pick out several ''queenly brows" und stately forms, and royal beauties, who ivotild make splendid queens. The momentousquestion was soon settled. Tbe 3iIvor ogg wris lihndod up, ?n i it was announced that M:\ if. Wal lace Cannon, one of-our mo'l popular young townsmen, . ;.? to be King flic air fairly shivered with excite ment when tho golden egg was hohl aloft, and it was announced that lhe "Queen" was found. ?l was Miss Alico Boydeu, of Charleston, :r.ui a prettier, more graceful or dignified a Queen could not have been easily found. The fairy that fixed the eggs and guided the seekers was cor tninly a sensible shrewd and able diplomatist. Then followed Lhe ceremonies of the coronation, performed by the Master of Ceremonies, Mr. J. Her man "W?hlers. The knights were presented with their "lmlbergs'! ami scarfs, and the maids of honor wreathed and presented with their sashes, and then formed in line, were addressed by Julius Glover, Esq., in handsome style. The knights and maids then re tired, and soon, to the grand march by the band, marched, escorting the King and Q?c??. Opening ranks to the right and left, the King and Queen wore presented to the Master of Ceremonies, who announced that the coronation would now take place. This beautiful task was imposed upon Malcolm I. Browning, Esq., who, after a brief address, crowued the Queen, and then tho King. Their majesties ascended their thrones, and were presented to their subjects by Mr. Browning. After which the band played a grand air, and tho court was for the time dis missed. I/inner was next in order, and inc. white tablecloths, contrasting with the greenwood, wero lillod with such a feast tliat any remarks about hard tin.es were considered the drollest sort of irony. After dinner the court was re assembl?d, and it was announced that there was :i commotion on tho borders of the realm. Tho Uhighlg salliod forth, and soon camo, back at tended by a vast throng of smaller citizens, leading a giant, whose head was among the piuu tops. Oh, what uproar there was. But the giant said ho was friendly a lid wanted to look at tho queen. For seated upon her throne with bor crown becoming borso well; the queen presented a picturo of bright happiness worth tho notice of any giant. Then the giaut retired, and the little men and wo men of tho kingdom followed him nnd laughed and shouted with glee The clat of the giant's visit had not long died away, when another event, no less astounding occurred. It was announcod to the court that the Empress of India had 3ent an elephant as a present to the Queen. Orders wero given flint (he aunitnal be presented, and soon t'.io huge: uu wieldly bulk was scon coimiig through the woods; led by i? native. Then the noise and uproar am 1 i ; people was great, and seine were ovo : terri fied at the ' i von;: ri Ai/.ld til! | this he ni>] :? it it . the throne, and was presented by '..! ? keeper in his native language to the Queen Then he drank water, and ii>>>h jpil water furiously indeed, evinced the traits of character and disposition of an old time fire engine. And thuy . pod the day ! Time would fail, and the Journ a l op Commerce be Iii led to tell of all the fun and happiness of this merry iltiy. Suffice it to say, it was thehrigfest und best day seen by the Oranguburgiuini in many a long year. Tho shadows began to thicken and the crowd to thin and the happy day was past. The baud wagon preceded the King and Queen and a long col umn of vehicle? followed, nnd thus Ibey returned to the town. Their royal highnesses were greeted with cheers an they passed through tho streets and proceeding to tho rcsi .donee of the tired Queen, their crowns j were laid aside after , a graceful and happy reign. Mr. Ilnskell cannot be thanked t3o much for his eifert?, nor congratulated enough upon his suc cess, lie has the tact for managing children which will crowd his school ?now soon to open with tho little ones nnd tho big ones of our town and county. His school will certainly he im acquisition lb our community. Proclamations. State of South Carolina, Exe<SUtive Chamber. Official information 1ms reached mc that on tho 2Sd day of May last, six persons, named Austin Davis, Stephen Lake, Larkiii Hollowny, Jesse Lake, Jefferson Settles and Marshall Perriii, charged with tho murder of John L. Harmon and Catharine A. Harmon, hia wife, at a place called Winter Scat, in Ihe County of Edgefield, were forcibly In k on from the custody ol the Shcrilf of Edgetiold county, by a body of men numbering several hundred, and immediately Bhot to death. Tho nurder of Mr. and Mrs. Har mon, so far as tho evideuco produced at tho coroner's inquest Bhows, was cold blooded and fiendish; but the subsequent killing of tho3e charged with this crime by others than officers of the law, and in a manner not au thorized by the lnw renders every person engaged in tho killing a mur derer in the eye of tho law. No plea of provocation, or of the necessity for protection and example, can for a moment be admitted to justify sueii ui> act. This State is not a new or imper footly organised community in which concerted violence must sometimes (supplement or supersede the laws. ' nvsaws of tiihi State take notice of crimes and : ibvide punishment lor all criminals. Tho courts arc everywhere and frequent. .Nor were thore special circumstan ces attending this affair which could give occasion-or oxcuse for this defi anco and overthrow of the law and it.i officers. The persons charge with the crime were in custody of the offi cers of the law. Escape was impos sible. If the county jail was deemed insecure the citizens could have guarded it. A tei'in of the Court of (ionoral Sessions was close at hand, a court in which ' the presiding Judge and juries bottld not possibly be charg ed with lenity towards such crimes. No ground whatever existed for fear ing executive clemency after due conviction. During the term of office of the present Executive, no person capitally convicted has been pardoned, and the sentence of no person so convicted has been changed by the Executive except upon the urgent and combined recommenda tion of the court, jury and citizens. And )vL in the face of such facts srx citizsus covered by the asgis of our laws, their persons inviolable from touch or hurt except by the bands of the ministers of the law, have been summarily, deliberately, openly and ruthlessly slain, without legal trial, without proper legal scru tiny of the evidences of their guilt and without the smallest chance of legal defense. To the horror inspired b\ the original crime is now added the horror which such lawless ven geuce should every where inspire. The peace of society was broken by the first crime; but the supremacy of law was overthrown by the second crime As the Chief Magistrate ?f the State, it is my duty to warn my fel low-citizens of the nature und effects ofsuch resort to violence lor the pun ishment of crime, and to call upon all tho officers and agents of the law to bring to just account those who have dared ;o usurp the awful prero gatives with which the lawfully con stituted representatives of public justice nro alono invested. In testimony whereof, I have hereunto eet my hand and cauaed the seal of the State to ho affixed, [l, s.] this third day of June, A. D. 187C, and of tho Independence of tho United States the one hundredth. By tho Governor : D. H.^ClIAMKERLAlN, Governor. II. E. Hayn-K, Secretary of tho State.

Carpenter, Judge Fifth Judicial Circuit; Dear Sir : I enclose for your ex amination a copy of an executive pro clamation haying reference to the recent killing r.f eix persons in Edge field county, charged by tho verdict of a coroner's jury with the murder of John L. Harmon and his wife, in said county. It is my duty to do all in my power to cause tho execution of the laws in all cases of their violation. The com Is and their officers anil agents are, of course, the chief means for the j execution of Ihe laws ami the punish- | meut of crimes. Over the courts I have no control, but in th-3 prescht instante 1 deem it my duty to call your official attention to the matter embraced in the enclosed proelania-1 lion, and to suggest to you, with pro per deference, that the attention of tho grand jury of Edgefield county be directed to a full examination of the matter referred to, to the end that such judicial action may be taken rt^ the due execution of the laws may require and tho facts of the case may warrant. It having been brought to my at tention that two women, named Ma tilda Ilolloway and Bctlic lYrrin, who were charged by the cot oner's jury as accessories to the mimler are still at large, and thai other persons still living were probably connected with the crime to a greater or less degree, I beg leave to suggest that measures should bo adopted to bring these persons before the com', to he ?? i ? ? i ii?f?, ? mmmmmmBKmmmm?? dealt with according to law. In all possible ways it will be my duly to assist your honor in the en forcement of tho laws in this most extraordinary and painful affair. Very respectfully, your obedient ser vant, D. II.
