Barkeepers fgtit the re cent ordinances in the courts on the ground that they are not authorized by the charter, and the question will be brought before the Supreme Court. The prohibition movement through the State is creating much excitement, and both political parties are split up by it, This is nonsense. Radicalismn is much worse even than liquor; for it brings liquor as well ascountless other evils. To fight the mat ter in the par ty is all right, but to give a loophole for the destruction of the Democracy is suicidal. A WrrjR in the Tuif, Field and Perin, speaking of the introduction of caRp into this .co.uant-ry, says that a more tasteless, Stringy 4s for .table use was never subjected to the oulinary proces-& and be .doubts if there is any Dative 4dch from Maine to Californi a 1o poor in~ eatieg.as this same narp-. - s admits furthe,r on that the food of of the fish has something to do with its taste, and therefore insists upon proper powuis.

Zion College, then in the height of its glory-Mr. J. W. Iludson, p~rincipal ; Edward Maturin, P~rofessor of Greek, Meachim of Latin; James B. Mc~nrzits of .mathematics, and Francis Bulkeley, of tihe female department. Ah, me, well do* I re member those days, (you Mr. Editor, Senior, must have been a small boy 'at that time, not perhnps over ten years of age) the faces of those learned men are very distinct to my'loindl eyen) to day. But they are gone; and we, the students, must sooni follow, many of us have fallen asleep also. I know of * two or three only in Winnsboro who are alive now. But this communica tieon is written -that I may tell you what [ remember about Mr. Maturin. I saw tile notice of his death with mnuch regret. lie Wvas such a fine specimen of manhood as one -seldom Bees; full six feet high, well made, his hair in ringlets resting on hxis should treating, in fact his general physique was splendid. In hearing the recita tions he always stood up, that he mnight walk up and downm before the ** class, a short tunie or toga, lined with: red being gracefillly thrown over the shouldler, his left hand gyping his long board, book in -thetrih t ad Ta'aii .late.

He :was veryI popunlar with te young men nd seemed to like to talk wit ie. car-' ried i copy of Shakespeare to school 1 one day when he happened to see it "Bring me that book, E." I carried the book, and yon ought to have heard himl read it. I bejieve lie ooluld re pout the moost of the book. I said he was iprofessor of Greek. You, Mi. Edt- I tor, can magilie that I hald-ito special . desire to recito those Greek lossons. In fact my taste did not run that way. Ohe day miy turn caine to read. Thinking I was doing duiely, I was in. terrupted by Mr. Matmrin with these words, "Stuff, stq'," I thought, my., self the whole book was nothing be.t stl . I sai to mir. Maturiln I thoug);t ' l)erhaps, if he would let 199 read the Greek, omitting the translation, I could do better. "Ah, may good fel, 1 low, I dloubt not, bijt ron would mur, der that also." Then ha would pace up and down, reading or translating, hardly looking at the book, hIs eyes fixed as it were on vacacy, t I have written these reoollections of a iln, MAr.

P To the Editor of the New York Y Eerald: General Sherman, in his re cent banquet oppe.h at Hartford4 takes the ground that the burning of Coluig bia was, so tr as he is concerned, ae. 4 eldental. I believe that General Sherman is fully responsible for the crime of de- * stroying Columbia, and I ask leave to e stateo one3 good reason for my belief. If I appeal unto C.asar, Cesai, at least, ii ought not to eomnplain. There are is several points inl this o3e reason of d mine: 1. On page 287 of volume , of the 8 Supplemental Report of the Joint " Committee on the Conduct of the War, * published ofeially by the Uited W States governnent, are these words in a dispatch dated December 18, 1864. 9 from Ma,jor General 11. W. Jialleek, in Washington, to General Sherman,i then in Savannahi "Should you cap ture Charleston I hope (hat by some accident the place may be destroyed; and if Little salt sould be sown upon its site it may prevent the growth of fliture crops of nullification and scces slon." Is not the meaning of this per fectly clear? 2. General Sherman wrote, in reply to the despatch above quoted, under date of December 24. 1864-see the "Supplemental Report," page 291 these words: "I will bear bin mind your hint as to Charlestou, and don't think 'salt' will be necessary. When I move the Fifteenth corps 'will be on the right of the right wing, and their position * will bring them natuirally into Char leston first; and If you have cc watched the history of that corps you b will have remarkedl that thev, general ly do their work up pretty ivell. The truth Is the whole army is burifing with an Insatiable desire to wreak S1 vengeance.upon South Carolina. I almost tremble at her fiate, but feel that she deserves all that seens in store for M her. * * * I look upon ColumbIa as quite as bad as Charleston." Is not the meanblIg of this also perfectly 1 clear? .4 3. On the 17th of February follow lng above .dates General Sherman with lis army reached Columbia. The Fifteentth corps was oi :the right of the right wing of the army and entered Columbia first, and the work of pillage, debauchery and arson was done up pretty well, and the General who was I '"51upreme ini commitand inside of Co. g< Inumbia" felt and still seems to fuel that te she .deseraved all that was in store for gi lher. 4. Here I .have shown by Genueral .. Sherman's owvn testinony that he wished to wreak vengeance on Colum hia; that lie assured General Hialleck, his superior officer., that .he would so wreak vengeance on CJolumbia or Charleston or .anyt]ing South Caro- a linian, givlig in advance his plan for so doing, withot4. the-manliness of a N, positive military order to burn ; arid that his movement into Columbia was si carrying out his announnced plani of wvreaking vengeance-a plan which he knew (and had so stated) wouid de- T' stroy the city. That isxmi first reason for believing that General Sherman iR responsible for the destruct~on of-Cobunbila. It is the first hut by no means thie strongest of my reasons for this 'belief. c Believing that thIs polit is tiew to the casual .reader af to-day I respect, fully saubmit it. Tr JAMEs WooD DANIDsON. New York, June 23, 1881. FEARFUL RALRtOAD DIsASTER IW Msxaoo.-A sp)ecial diapatch from the City of Mexico says tbe accidenit at r Malipais -loses nione of its horror through receip~t of fuller and more ac curate advices. For some time past the district where it occurred has beenI swep~t by fierce storms., swelling creeks into torrents, laying wvaste many fer tile fields. T'he bridge spanning thie A river at the p)oint mienuioned, although known to be unsafe., was still in use when the fated traini bearing a battal ion of soldiers attempted Its passage. - The result was a crash as the under mined supports gave way and the en gine and cars were hurled headlong down the chasm. Scarcely had the magnitude of thme disaster become ap parent When a newv horror was added. Ini the freight cars comprisinig a por1- ] tion of thme train was a consignment of alcohol. And a consequent explosion contributed much to t he loss of life. The fewv who escaped uninjured at once applIed themseJves to the resce of their unfortunate comrades, but it was some hours before the extent of the dlisaster' became apparenit. It is now knowni that 13 officers and 196 prlvates were either killed outright by the fal or' roasted to death,- while 6'0 ) others sustainett hurts of a mtore or serious character. The traini was en tirely consumned. Whenm information of thme appalling calamaity reached this this city (lie excitement wvas nbound ed anid crowds thronged all newsa ceni I res. anxiously awva iting plart iculhars. Never in the history of the republic has so frightful a casualtly been chron icled, and its occurrence it is feared may still fbrther p~rejudice the popunlar mind against railway enterprises. lIowdver, Los G'ringas. as the ntives term all outside barbarans can come in tor' no share of thme blame in this connection. -A fedious old clergyman had preached for an hour:t then lie remark ed: "Another wide field opjens from the subject hi another * d iretion." Just, then an old colored saint qJaculat ed': "Plcaneom T huet.. u.. 1. bars."
