(OVERNoU IIAMPTON Will inake his first appearance in Charleston on the 22nd of February, if his health per G EN. DICK ANDEiisoN has not been appointed Inspector of Phosphates, but is a sub-inspector. Col. Thomas Taylor still retains the inspectorship. THE NEw YouK -erald says: "Pro fessor Von Holst, of Freiburg, who has been seit to this country by the German Academy of Sciences to com plte his great work on the United States, will lecture at Steinway HILl, next Wednesday evening, on Cal houn. The Professor is regarded in Europe as the best authority on American constitutional history, and his lecture is likely to be heard with interest." When a person of such eminence as Professor Von Hoist an niouncos a lecture In New York on Calhoun, it may indeed be hoped that the South is beginning to get her vindication in history. Will it be Sammy? .tolitical circles were stirred by the announcement that a caucus of In dianla Democrats had pronounced for Tilden for President in 1880, thus giving Hendricks thn go by. Investi gation proves that it was nerely an informal conversation among certain hard-nioney legislators who thought the ticket of 1876 1lie best for 1880. Hendricks and Thurman feel better since the Oxplanat-ion. Yet old Sammy Is a ghost that will not down at, anybody's bidding. As soon as all the papers have buried him they have to go to work to kill him again. If, as prophesied, Tildon will run for governor of New York this fall, and be elected, it will be no idle boast that he has twice rescued the State, and can absolutely command her thirty-flve votes; nor can we see how the Domiocratic Convention can Pass him by with this record. It may be a nauseous pill, just as Grant is to many Republicans, but the Demnocra cy may have to swallow him never theless. The South is bound to sup port the candidate that can win, who ever lie be, and if the North wants Tilden again, wo cannot object. Extraordinary Feats. People used to think that twenty birds in twenty shots was good shoot ing. Yet Captain Bogardus last week, in New York, broke six thiousand glas balls out of six thuousand( and thirteenu, making a score of' five thou sand six' hundred and eighty shots before he mnissed a single ball. Th'le balls were spr'iug from a Bogardhus trap), which, it is said, has a vicious way of shooting out the balls as bir'ds fly. Blogardus expended six hundred pounds of load in the matIch, and at the end his shoulder was black and blue1 and his fingers bleeding. Another most interesting match is just about complleted. A woman, Madame Anderson, agedl fifty or thereabouts, is walking against timie, her task being to walk 2700 quarter mnlecs in 2700 quar'ter hours, night and day. As she has to walk a quar ter of a mile at the beginning of ever'y quarter of an hour, this means Cint besides tramping 675 miles, shu cannot sleep for a loauger period than about ten minutes at a timo for twentv eight days. No One would believe that a human being, especially a wvoman, could endure this, and yet by this time the Madame has accom plished lher task. She kept herself up b)y chaffing with the thousands of spectators, and singing anl occasional song. Besides sutiering from blister ed feet she has had nto trouble. Her' performance was closely watched, to see that no deception was pr'actised; but she toed the mark every time, nover starting three mninutos late. Senatorial Gossip. Senator Merrimon withdrew from the contest for Senator in North Caro n, as the Democrats adall agr'eed majrit. TusGovernor Vance goes an nstnceofpatiotsmand p)art y fealty being rewarded in the long run. Merrimnon's honorable record in the -I Senate was mnarredl by thue imanuner in which lie got the place. Is dlefeat now will have a wholesome bifluence in chilling the "Independent" p)arty In North Carolina. The Indiana Legislature elects a Senator on the 21st. The Senate con tains twventy-foumr Democrats, twenty four Reopublicans and two Green backers; the House, flity-three Demo curats, thirty-nine Republicans, seven (Irecubackers and an Jndependent Democrat. It. is clafi'ed that Voor hees will get the Gr eeibiack vote, if Ilecessary, though the lDemocrats will lavoe a miajority of two over all, unless two sick inbi ers are unable to put in an appearance. Vooiiees -will bel elected for one year, to Jill Il%orton's vialcay, as is ippoiit meit was good only 1intil tle meeting of tlie Legisla fitre, anid- will receive the long term beginning 1880.

Destroying the Honor of the State, From the Abbeville Medium we clip the following; In the course of it running conver sation bel.weei a party of intelligent gentlemen at Ilodges last Saturday a v,ote was taken as to he i roper dis position of the bonded debt, of ti State, and every man of the company VOtAd for absolite repudiation. This little straw may be taken as an indi cation othow the wind is 'blowii. One of the voters said, "I vote for re pudiation because I want to destroy the honor and (le credit of the State we liave no bu11sinless borroviig inoilNy to rm the government Vor which pur pose lie Stite is lerself, suffictiently able without any extranieous aid."' It is a settled fact inl every reflectiing minld fht no 11mre act of a general atssqmIIly ennti iakv a wrong riiit or force (i people to pay t d(ebt they never cmit.rac(ed and dlo not owe. It is complicity with thieves to ask thei to (10 so. We tre in1ot So mucl Surprised at ti vote as at the candor of the voter. That wholesalc repudiationi would most effectually tend "to destroy .1e honor and the credit of time State" is somctling about which we have no doubt, but we had charitably believed that tile repudiaitionists themselves were not aware of the consequences of their act. Tie point is not whieth or the State ever wishes to borrow again, but whether she intends to pay what she has already been elnt. If an indi vidual should boirrow mioney to begin bmsiness, andl, after acqjuir ing a competency, should1 refuse to piay the 1loan on time grounid thant lie could get along in future without aniy assistaiice, aind wished to destroy his credit to prevenit teimptation, lhe would be acting~ precisely as5 some Carolinians wish (lie State to act. (WING fl.ACK ON H lKNDR1X, Indiana Demnocrat., Hold a Caucus and Throw Up Their Hats for Tildeni. [(Spria to L( I.e P/ htiaddphia Ties.] INDIA NAP'OIAs, January 9.-Indiana politicial circles are consi deirably dis turbed to-day over rep)orts of the cani ens of about thirmty leading D)emnocrats from all pairts of thme State, which took place at the Bates llouse, and which is known to have expressed decided1 preference for Trildeni over Hlendrix as the next candidate for the pre.sidency. It was freely asserted in the confe~r ence that if Gover'nor TiIlden conld ex p)laini satisfactorily the cipher tele grams lie wvould be far more available as a catndidate than the Iindiata fivor ite. Governor' isndrix has met with severe tinancial losses (durinig the past few years and is not able to .furnish the, sinews of war for a vigorous national campaign, it was argued. No dissent from these senthnenits was oxpressedl in the caucus. Governor Hendricks'flriendlsfeel much chagrined at the rep)orts that have been circu lated and call attention to the fact that not a Democrat from Indianapolis was present at the contference. The election of Voorhoos to thme United States Senate next week is now believed to be assured. Thme ac tion of the different caucuses leaves lit tie doubt that hie will be chiosont on the first or second ballot. The funernal services over the re mains of Mr. Schleicher, of Texas, took place ini the hall of the3 House of Xelpresentatives, on Monday afternoon, at. three o'clock. Thise was, therefore, the second ceremony of the kind with in a few davs. Mr. Schileicher makes thme inthi member of the Foerty-fifth Congress who has died dining the sesion, his eight predecessors being Senator Bogy aiid Morton, and Rep resentatives Leonard, Welsh, Quinn, Williams, D)ouglass and HIartridge. This sad recordt is made all the more impressive by reports that Repre senitative Thornburg, of Tennessee, wh'io wont home to Knoxville sick is a cry low with pneumonia, and tdat Representative Finley, of Ohio, who Is also detained at home by sickness, has bmeen taken with a dangeyeus hem. orrhage. Rlepresontative Riddle, of Telinessee, wvho went home sick carly ill the Ossin has not been able to return, and his friends are apprehen sive that he will never come back to Washington.

Murphy, a grocer, on Grand River avenue, De troit, suspecting that burglars had been attempting to enter his store, on Sunday night concealed himself and awaited developmnents. lie soon heard the burglar enter the rear door, by means of a falso key, when a strug glo ensued. Murphy soized an iron wedge and struck the burglar several blows upon iis head, felling him to the floor, but the fellow regainod his foot, and, choking Murphy injtojiIseI sibility, escaped. A i hour later a man applied at the police station for modi cal attention, s.,:-ing he had been way laid and beaten b) robbers. Murphy, regmiing co ncIlo usness, proceeded to the same station house, where lie identified the party as the burglar. The latter admitted the ract, and said the fear lest he should die unloss his wounds were dressed prompted him to go to the station house. Hunter, the murderer was hanged at Philadelphia on Friday. Ile was completely prostrated, and had to be carried to the place of execut.ion. The hanging was bunglingly . per formed. The rope vither had too much slack or gave way so much that it barely lifted the culprit from the floor, when lie fell back, and was caught by tie assistants. The sheriff seized time rope and hoisted I Hunter into the air, and lie was hung only by a nuilbor of persons holding to the rope during the whole time inm which he was suspended.
