Southern cotton mills arc fast driving the Fall River mills to tinwall. selling cloth to the print works nial hh-arln ries in Fall River at prices which the local mills can not meet, says the Ralliinore Sun. The Southern mills, for example,; make a profit on cloth at .'I cents a yard for which the Massachusetts mill must have.'! 1-Scents. A large business lir.sgrown up at Fall River in finishing Southern cloths. In other words, the Southern mills pay the freight to and from the market and outsell tin- the Massachusetts mills, which deliver tingoods only at the local depots. . South Carolina's New Pistul I.aw. The Columbia Record says that one of the most radical nieces of lobulation passed at the recent session of the Ucncral Assembly was tlio anti-pistol law, which, however, loos not b" into elVect until July, J?K)2. Tlio law prohibits the sale ov importation of any pistol which is not twenty inches loiib and which weighs U.'ss than three pounds. The intention of the hill was b?"d. 1 localise no man will carry such a weapon as that concealed or otherwise, and if the law would stand the test of the courts it would certainly accomplish the purpose. Hut it. was pointed out by lawyers, both in the Senate and 1 louse, that tlio law is absolutely unconstitutional. I>ut so ureal was the desire to do something to put a stop to an admitted evil that members brushed aside all considerations of the constitutionality of the bill and made it law. The act prevents the carrying of niiy pistol, concealed or otherwise. exrept of liir proserihcd length unci weight. Aii exception is made an to one's own premises, where any sort of weapon may lie carried, concealed or otherwise. There u already ample laws in the statute hooks against carrying concealed weapons, hut the chief dillicnlty is that the law isn't enforced. When one is convicted of I violating it the line is merely nominal, and except in the ease of negroes the tine is usually paid. Hut the proposed remedy, as provided * for in the new law, will not accuuiplish the desired purpose any more present one, for it is prac brought to tli courts. an 1 tlio opinit 11 of lawyers is that i! ran not stain!. It is likely that a, Irs! ra-ji> will he made ey; li before tin.' law inn-s into lit ot. ? Tillman's I brent Lffective. Wa>;hiii^:l?)!i Post. Senator Tillman is happy.

In another battle lie had his arm shot oil*, lle^ot his pension, but ha\in^ in Ctil oiven aid and comfort to the Confederate cause, his allowance was eut oil'. The Senate agreed to repension him, Tint the House held up the bill. That is, the holding up process lasted until .Mr. Tillman delivered his ultimatum, and then tho bill was passed. Now pension bills j^o through the Senate as if they were groused. It sometimes pays, says .Mr. Tillman, to show your teoth. I>ui the end is not yet, for the passage of the liill is virtually a repeal of the law which disbars a Mexican veteran fi< in lceeivin^ a pension because lie sympathized with the Confederate cause.

Word lias just In on received in I >:i 11 inioiv t hat there is scarcely a doubt remaining of the t rut h of t ho rumor st irlcd about two wcrksn^i) that linron lh>herl von Massow, of tho Prussian army, and a former member of Mosby's command, had loft ^'2.000,000 to Ih? divided anions tho survivors of t ho command, saj s tho Haitian re American.

The* Karon had captured ('apt. Keid, of the California battalion, and had ordered him to tin* ruir with other prisoners, when ('apt. Keid turned and tired at his captor. Keid was imnn diately shot dead by ('apt. Samuel Chapman,of Mosbv's battalion, who is still alive and residing near Warrenton, Va.
