Snm Jones. uFalcon," of the Louisville Post, hns been to hear Sam Jones, nnd this is his opinion of him : uBut the same idea ran through all he said. lie merely played the variations on an old established tunc, and with the art of an old established wordmonger made old things appear new. Bold, audacious and fearless, aggressive in sentiment and contemptuous in manner, with the impudence of the devil and a cheek of brass and unlimited gall .Mid unbounded confidence in Sam Jones, he was not afraid to say anything that came to his lips, snd rather ridiculed and defied his audience than sought to soothe or placate them. Perfectly satl c A iwl ftknf #1?A ?-?1~. ?? - - ? ? ? ? oiavu tiaUK bliv; atUIIUUlU Ul rig[|H.'UUSII(!S(i as exemplified by Sam Jones is the perfect standard, he purposes to decapitate any one who is too long for it. and to stretch o\\ the rack any one who is too short to meet its requirements. To say that he has a high admiration of himself is to draw it mild enough for the digestion of a teething baby. The. subject of his teaching is : "I am better thau you. Do as 1 do if you would be saved. Find a fault anywhere in me and ! will quit the pulpit." I do not mean to say these are his exact words, but they represent the substance of his teaching. For those who sit under his ministrations he expresses the most supreme contempt, both by word and look and intonation. "Now you are a pretty kettle of fish, ain't you ? I could go to Foo Chow, in China, and find better Christians. You are innocent-looking set,. You are the most an innocent-look ing gang I ever saw. You look as though every one of you wanted a pnir of wings right off to fty into glory with. . Now you will go away from here and say : 4I don't like Sain Jones a bit,' and when you say it you lie, for you will be back here to-morrow, and you couldn't be kept away if you were chained with it. There ain't no love lost botweon us, and if you go away and tell people that you don't like Sam Jones, and they aide you how Sam Jones likes you, just tell 'em he don't like you neither." These and similur expressions were constantly failing from his lips, and I thought he WOUld have civen half a flav'n rhIhfv once to be at liberty to say : *4I don't give a damn for your good opinion no how. and you may travel to sheol by the shortest route as quick as you think proper."

If I vwas you I would go home to-night and give ( him a dose of soothing syrup, and get something to quiet that baby of yours, and take .down the big Bible and read a chapter and pray for my fatherless child and my poor little timid husband. He is no account to you. and a groat, gawky, ] gangling fellow he is too. Now, donlt ( you go out when you go away from ( bore and take him by the arm and cud" , die him up and say to him: 'Now, darling, don'i you mind what that preacher says.

Every preacher here knows that what I say is true, but he wouldn't say so for a dollar." I will not multiply instances, because your readers hare seen his reported sermons.

Another Case of Whipping. "Warrants have been issued by Trial Justice Miller against the following persons, charged with riot, and assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature : Hugh Workman, Acy Workman, Thomas Workman, John Hunter, William Crawford, Thomas Brock, Irvin Boyd, Milledgo Chappell, John Davenport. The warrant alleges and specifies that, on the night of the 6th instant, six negroes, whoso names are Drayton Suber, Clem Suber, Wead Copeland, Turner Copeland, Warren Copeland and Bowden Miller were bound and severely whipped by the aforesaid persons, near Martin's Depot. It is further alleged that the car of one of the negroes was cut half off by one oi tno accused parties. These are the charges as alleged in the warrant, and we publish the facts as they exist. We have hear! only a partial statement on the part of the negroes. That statement is to the effect that the whipping and other alleged mistreatment of one of tho negroes was unprovoked. There is, however, another side to this affair. Two of the persons engaged in it, as will bo seen by reference to another column. make a statement of tho matter over their own signatures; in regard to which we will only remark that, while not disposed to douht or discredit the truthfulness of their statement, it is unfortunate for the peace and good order of society that the law should be taken in hand, as charged in this case. It would be fiar.'bettor, in every instance, tojtllgsr the .law to take it& due courka. Theire is but a single crime?which is unnecessary to mention?for the swift punishment of which mob-laW can be excused; and mobocracy oven in that case is extremely dangerous. There may be facts and circumsianccs connected with the case in question of which both we and the public are ignorant, which may go far towards justify- ( ing, or may entirely justify, the accused parties. If so, all these ameliorating facts will be brought out in the trial before the proper tribunal; and we would 1 not prejudge the accused, or say anything to prejudice public opinion , against them. We desire, however, to ( place our seal of condemnation strongly against mobocracy and lawlessness of , every kind, great or small. The persons against whom warrants have been issued have not yet been arrested, but will be perhaps to-day, Thursday. _They'. express their perfect willingness to submit to arrest and enter ^nto bond for their appearance for trial.?Laurensvtlle Herald.

The Charleston Sunday Dispatch publishes an interview with Dr. A. N. Bellinger, who shot and killed Stephen Riley, from which the following is an extract: "Doctor," continned the newspaper man, "did you say you killed Itiley in self-defence when you went to the Main Station to surrender?" "No, I did not," was the answer, "I didn't sav anything." Then the Doctor looked at the Reporter and said, 4*I can't tell you how I came to do it now. You'l hear at the inquest. But I'll say this : Any man in Charleston, black or white, would have killed Riley under the same circumstances. You would have done it. I repeat it any other man would. I neither assert or deny the self-defence. But any man would have done it. "There is a report out that I wrote him a note, telling him he had to retract. Retract what? I would not have written him a note. Another report is, that after I shot him, I stoop-, ed down and cooly felt his pulse, after whioh I left, seeing he was dead. That's ridiculous. I never touched him. I stooped down and picked up my hat and brushed the dirt from it with my coat skirt. I didn't go directly to the Station-house from there. I'll tell you the reason, j/ywife has been in awful health for two years, and I was afraid she and the family would be disturbed by the rumors they heard. So I wont homo and told them what I had done. Then I went around in King Btreet, -where I was attending a little child of Mrs. Minti\. I wanted to tell them to get another physician, as I couldn't come any more that day. I did so. On the way to Meeting street I met Levin, the detective. He asked me if I had heard about lliley's /death. I told him, yes; I killed him. He asked me if I wauted him to go the Stationhouse with me, and I said "no." When I arrived at the Main station-house, they yearned looking for tuej and the officer in charge was standing in front. He turned and went inside when he saw me coming, and I followed him. He made an entry that I had surrendered myself, in his books, and then osk me if I had a pistol. I told him no. but that I killed Riley, and that was sufficient. Now, that is all I can tell you at present. I expect to come clear. No good man can want me punished for what I did." The Narrow Gauge and a New Idea for it The friends of the proposed narrow gauge rail road in this cit3' are now discussing a new idea in connection with it . which seems to be a good one. The purpose of those interested in the road lias all along been to build it us moans were available, completing and ex- 1 tending it gradually and operating it on the completed portions. It was thought that building should begin at the other snd of the line but it is new suggested that work should be begun here with the $15,000 subscription of Piedmont uid Pelzer and,, the road built and ope rated Deiweeii mis city ana tnoso pointsr [t is argued that this method would ^ive Che road a good local business to begin with and put it in good condition to bo extendedgrapidly and cheaply, and that a railroad already built and in ope- i ration would command more of public 1 confidence and support than if it was in i the air or only graded. Capt. W. J. Kirk says the total cost of a narrow i gauge from here to Pelzer via Piedmont 1 srould be $50,000, including one engine ind a full complement of cars. It could be operated at a cost of $10,500 a yoar, including 7 per cent, interest on $35,000 of bonds. Capt. Kirk says there are now more than a thousand narrow guage" railroads in operation, varying in length from ten to hundreds of tniles. and that Poor's manual will show that not one of them failed to pay. He estimate^ that the 72 miles between heie and Fruit Hill, Edgefield county, can be graded at an , average cost of $400 per mile.-?-&reeuville New*. Taking Leg Ball.

Davis gave some remarkable exhibitions of skill in Spartanburg on yesterday, having his ropn stretched across Main street at a height of 45 or 50 feet from the ground. After turning somersaults, standing on one leg, hanging by his toes and performing other feats, he undertook to drop, fall within four feet of the ground and catch by one leg on a small rope swung from the big one to the street below. He failed to tie the small rope securely, and as he shot to the ground headforemost and caught at the rope it parted above and he fell with unchecked force.- He was immediately picked up and cared for, but at eight o'clock last niglit he had been uncounscous throe hours, all efforts to restore him had failed and it was hnlinvori there was no hope for his recovery. An Absurd Objection. Tho JVeivs and Courier objects to Lieut.-Governor Sheppard acting as counsel for those accused of lynching Culbreath, because "it is within the range of human evonts that ho should be called on to consider and determine an application for pardon or mitigation of sentence, on behalf of his present clients or some of them." On this ground our Charleston contemporary might as well say the lieutenant Governor should not practice his proiession at all, except in civil actions. And it might also object to any prominent lawyer going into the criminal court to practice, as it is "within the range of human events" that any man in the State may become Governor. The position of the News and Courier on this point is so clearly untenable that we are inclined to believe that the astute editor was absent that day and that the office boy was running the paper.?Edgefield Chronicle. A Hint to Clients. A few days age Maj? h.
