The report that if the people vote forthe railroad tax there will be no end to thotaxation is a great mistake. Tho charter ofthe company only allows the taxation toLat for three years. Even if tbero wasany necessity for moro money, and thepeople were willing to vole more taxes totlio road, they could not do so under thocharter. The taxation ends in threo years,und no township c*n bo called on to payone cent more than it votes for ou nextWednesday.Conkling has persistently refused to

converso or be interviewed about theNarragansett scandal, and tho affair hasassumed something of the reverso shapeto that which is usual. Instead of Conk¬ling vindicating Mrs, Sprnguc, she hossought an Interview with a New Yorkreporter and completely exonerates thoNew York Senntor from any imputationof improper co..duct. Tho matter nowutanda in sneh euñpó as to irrevocablycondemn Conkling.At Wlnnemucca, in Nevada, one Sun¬

day evening a few weeks ago a party ofChinese Gamblers chased a negro, withwhom they had beon playing, throughthe strcetn. shooting at him in such acareless manner that some of the ballswent Into a church while services wereL ine; held, and greatly frightened thecongregation This took place in a Re¬publican State, and would thcroforo notbo a suitable instanco for the stalwartsto hold up as an evldenco of Democrntiolawlessness. Thero would, however, heas muûli cunno in parading this before thocountry as nine-tenths of tho circumstan¬ces over which tho stalwarts seek to puttho country in a rage.Mr. Cyras W. Field, In an interview

vith a New York paper, announces thatLiiere has been a rupturo between himselfand Ex-Governor Tilden, In consequenceof which all of tho money in the worldcould not induce him to have any furtherbusiness relations with tho ruler ofGramarcy Park. This ls seised on by thoopponents of Mr. Tilden as an addition¬al argument against his nomination forthe Presidency. We like to eoe fair play,and therefore aro getting somewhat tiredof tho bitter and, in some instances, friv¬olous fight which is being made on Mr.Tilden If his opponents cannot defeathim on the merits of their argumentsagainst his nomination, they had KPtinryo careful about introducing personalvituperation. The American people arenoted for sympathizing with those whoare persecuted, and if this line of fightis attempted against Mr. Tilden, it willin all probability secure his re-nomina¬tion for the Presidency.The Greenback party is assuming form*

idable dimensions in Texas, and is beingorganised with a view of controlling thonext Legislature of that State fer thepurpose of electing Gen. Hammond tothe United States Senate aa SenatorMaxy's successor in 1881. Gen. Ham¬mond was tho Greenback cnuâidate forGovernor last year, and has been activelyorganizing Greenback clubs since his de¬feat, so that the party ls stronger nowthan it haa ever been. Gen. Reagan isthe loading candidate of the Democraticparty, and it is said that he expressessome alarm lest the now party, by sape-Vior activity, shall secure tho State. Itia thought tho Republicans will coalescewith the new party for tho purpose ofgiving an indirect blow by a combinationwhich they may eventually be able tocontrol. Thia is only tho old form of in¬dependents upder a new name, and ifthe Democracy of Texas ia aa firm as webelieve it is, thoro ia vory little doubt ofita overthrow.

i«w/jat»iThe Railroad tax asked for Sn this

\ County in each of tba townships named- is seven mills. That is seventy cents ontho hundred dollars worth of properly otcoven dollars on tho thousand. This lsonly for three years. Tho charter doesnot authorize any longer taxation, and, ifs t=x is voted in any township, is cannotbo increased beyond tho amount specifiedin ¿he advertisement ot tho County Corermissioners- which U nubliobcd in anothercotamn, irv* tells exactly what eachtownship Is to ¿>ay. These assessmentsaro made according to tho property ofthe township, on a biais of a tax ofsevenmilla a year for throe y?ars. When thesesums have been paid in tb¿ p^epîe can»not bo taxed any farther, and, from themost careful estimates mado, there is noprobability that there will be soy neees-

^ sit;' for further taxation. The amountsasked for are believed to be sufficient tosecare the building ot tho Road, and ifthey should not prove so, the friends ofthe enterprise will have to complete itbyprívete subscription, for there will be nofurther taxation. If, therefore, the taxasked for ts voted, tho Roadla ánassuredfact, Cur people should not 'hesitate tovote this tax, for tho bcoeflls to be de¬rived'ftom St are a thousand times asgreat as the outlay asked Tor to complete

If we fail to cccuro the Savannah Val¬ley Railroad to Anderson it will ho builtfrom Lowudesvillo to Belton, and ourtown will bo greatly injured by havingsuch a large section of our present Undohopelessly cut off from us. This, too,would injure the townr»hips along our

tine, for hy damaging their naturaltrading point, tho inconvenience to mar¬ket and increased price lt will imposeWill be fell throughout tho entire County.By building up Anderson Court Housetho advantages offered to the farmer willbo greatly increased. The competitionin freights will produce a very materialdifference in tho price of all articles.Thus, for instance-, tho prt#eht cost of abale of cotton to Charleston is $2.75,while IT we had the Hoad to Augusta itwould not be moro than $1.75, at the out¬side. This alone would bo a saving of atleast $1.00 per bale on cotton, whichwould make this staple sell for a quarterof a cent higher on every pound. Thissaving alone would pay tho Ruilroad taxevery year, and would continuo for alltime to come, wbilo tho tax would onlylast for three years. Not only wouldthis competition in freights innko thefarmers produce sell for more, but itwould also enable him to buy his suppliescheaper. Thu saving in tho freights on

guanos, bacon, molasses and other arti¬cles rould pay this tax three times over.Thc building of this Road would giveAnderson a most desirable and efficientcompetition bet ween railroads. Tho con¬nection at Augusta would pince us 25milen closer to Charleston, and wouldgive us four outlets from that point to allNorthern cities, viz: one hy way ofCharleston, over thc South Carolina Rail¬road ; ono by Charlotte, over the Char¬lotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad ;ono over tho Port Royal Road, and oneby tho water route. It would also giveus a desirable connection with the Westover tho Georgia Road. These line*would be in direct competition with thcGreenville nod Columbia linc, and wouldsecure for us nil tho benefits of throng!freights. Considering these things, wtbelieve the building of this Road will hiof greater advantage to our Town amCounty than nny entcrpriso that has cn

gaged our attention for many years.

San Francisco, hitherto ono of th<most loyal of thc loyul Republican ettieof the Union., has been tho scenn of thwildest excitement, and has b"' nnrrowl;escaped a most terrible riot, arising directly out of politics. Tho WorkinjMen's party of that city recently nominntod Rev. J. S. Kullnch as their candidate for Mayor, whereupon tho Chronicha newspaper published there by Charkand Mike DoYoung, published defamatory and scandalous articles against hiland his dead father, which ho answereon lost Saturday, charging the DoYoungwith falsehood and reflecting must seven

ly'on their family record and birth. OSunday morning Charles DeYoung drovup to Kalloch's door and called for hinAs soon as ho appeared DeYoung sluhim in tho breast, upon which Kallocturned to go into his study and DeYounshot him in the back. A large crowd <

tho working men had gathered and inmediately overturned the carriage, pulkDoYoung from it, and would have beakhim to death, but for a heavy squadpolicemen, who took him away frothem and carried him tc the statuhouse. Miko DoYoung also went to tlstation house for protection. A vacrowd gathered and wore preparingtake them out by forco and lynch theiHeavy squads of polico protected tprisoners. The military of tho city weunder arms ready for action, and tgreatest consternation prevailed. Ovten thousand men assembled in ono platand wcro addressed by Clitus Barbottheir candidato for Congress, and othowho urged moderation, and finally provacd upon thom to await Kearney's arrivWhen Kearney arrived he addressed Imeeting, and by his immenso influensecured ord«r. This excitement shothat there are .tore dangerous clcmeiof discord in our country than those pisouted by tho solid South. Wo aro

Tho factionstho North and Wost aro the sources fnwhich national trouble may yetlooked for, and tho disturbance in SFrancisco shows how easily theso cmen ts may become active forces in Idestruction. f property. The correctiottho ovils whiui produce these factionsthe work to which tho statesman oujto devote himself.

The city of Memphis ia not only nflted with the scourge of yellow fever,now an organized band of colored pldorers infests the city and threatensdestruction of whatever property tlcan get hold of. Threatening lotihave been sent to tho city paperspublication signed "Many colored czens," but rave not been prinlMounted polit** iVr*8 have boon orgaied for all night service, and » militcompany has been formed. The crisifeared to be imminent, and the gemsentiment Is that an example, not sto be forgotten, ought to be made of tlrobbers, if they persist in their pilferOf course, there is nothing poi i ticathis, but then if it had been aomo actho same kind on thc part of whiteeena towards colored people the wiarmy of Republican stalwarts would Ybeen howling about the Southern bariism towards the negroes. Sensible \pie do not hold the colored people ofwholo country responsible for the diof these Memphis bandits. Neither iright that the people of the whole Srshould be abused and maligned beaof the ceca . <onai action of some exeor vÍGÍL-nc individual. Fair .mismen of the whole country ought tofrom these occurrences the compositioour society bi suoh that these conflictstween race« are bound to riso willany political significance whatever,as conflicts occur between diffident c]es of northern society. They are thesnit ofsudden passion between men,not between political parties.- A correspondent of the Charle

Neu* and Courier, from Midway, Sdated August 22, says : "Yeuterdaynins «t about sunset a lady; wife ofNathan Cridor, rebiding about four rfrom thia place, was struck by lightWhilst standing in tho dcor of her diäfcfasnd instantly expired. Tho«tom was not severo, and tho lightdid no other, damage but tear ashingle! off th* hnusa."

Ooo of tho arguments used by tho op-ponen ta of th« Savannah Valley Rail¬road to tho voting of a tax to build it ia,that the amount asked for will not bcenough to complete tho Road. The fol¬lowing eatimatea, baaed ou tho experienceof the Oreenwood and Augusta Railroadauthorities, who have grabed their Roadwith an expense of less than $000 permile, shows that- tho amount asked forwill put the company in a position whichwill enable them to complete tho Roadon the $60,000 asked for. The actualdistance to bo graded is less thnn fiftymiler?, but for full measure wo will makethc estirante for that distance. At sixhundred dollars per mile, tho cost will befor grading $30,000 ; twenty-six hundredcross-ties per mile, at 15 cents, will be$300.00 per mile, or $19,500 for thc wholedistance, which makes the cost of gradingand putting on thc cross-tics consumetho tux voted. Then a mortgage at therate of $4,000 per milo will raiso $200,000.Cost of iron nt $2,800 per mile, whichwill rtccure tho best quality of iron withfish-bar joints, and luv it, would be $140,-000. Two engines, forty box cars, twentyflats lind four passenger cars would onlycost $45,000, which would leave $15,000on hnnd, so that even if the bonds of theRuilroad Company should only sell ntninety cents on tho dollar, thc amountraised would he amply sufficient to securetho completion of tho Rond. These fig¬ures have beon gathered from practicalmen, and nro believed to bo over thcminimum nccessnry to build the Road.It will, therefore, bc seen that thc amountasked for if granted will bo sufficient tosecure the connection with Augustn,which is so much desired by tho peopleof tho Savannah sido of our County.Perhaps tho most important question

that has been presented to tho people ofAnderson Court House, and of thc lowerportion of Anderson County, since ibowar is tho propriety of building tho Sa¬vannah Valley Railroad by taxation. Ourpeople arc too poor to undertake such a

great enterprise by private Bubscriptions,for that would amount to a few having tobuild ¡tho Road for tho benefit of themany. It used to bo that railroads couldbo built in that generous style, but now

if such a tiling is dono every man alongthe lino must do his part. There is,therefore, no better or fairer way of secur¬

ing contributions on thia basis than bytaxation. Tho load which would be tongreat to bo attempted by a fow can bceasily borno when all hear their part.Every man living in the townships Dam¬ed will bo benefited by the Road, and an

opportunity ÍB afforded to secure it with¬out serious inconvenince to any of us,Then let us all on next Wednesduy votetho necessary tax.

The country remembors how JohnSherman made matters «soy for tho RHUMwhich advanced tho money necessary foitho visiting statesmen to take their trijto New Orleans to adjust tho diffcrencefbetween tho Nicholls and Packard gov>ernments. Even tho New York Ttmetis now criticising him for extending tlxtimo of payment for tho four per contbond subscriptions to his favorito bankswhile others have been made to poy upIn this way the Secretary of tho Treasuryhas given to these banks the uso of $47,000,000 moro than two months longethan the timo fixed by law for the paymont. It Roems that Mr. Sherman'friendship is profitable, and these littlirregularities with reference to tho publimoney will no doubt strengthen hifriends in their advocacy of his nomination for tho Presidency. If Shermaiever becomes President, tho country wilbo ruled by tho most complete system o

¡argo and small rings that has ever curse«

any country.From all that we can learn, tho killin;

of Henry M. Dixon, an independencandidate for Sheriff of Yaroo Count)Mississippi, was a most unfortunate alfair. Tho facts soctn to bo that Di:owas a Northern man who married n Mbaisslppi lady and settled in that Stat<He was a desperato man, nnd had killeat least three white mon and quitenumber of negroes, so that he had bccomo a terror to tho wholo country. I1874 he became a prominent leader otho Democratic aide, and waa the chanepion bull-dozer of Yazoo County duriutho struggle to redeem it from Radicalism. Ho is represented as a bold an

desperate fellow, of whom the followinaccount is given, showing how he mada party of negroes hang their own leudein 1875 :

He bad beard that a movement wipreparing among the negroes againihim, ana rodo alone on horseback to thplace where tho negroes had gathered tcaether, carrying a rope over his sacdie-bow. When ho came upon them hcovered tho leader with his revolver, anordered him to step out. Tho man obejed. Selecting four other negroes by namho bade them como to him and take tbrope which ho gave them. "Putaround that man's neck," he said. Theboeyed. "Now, then, one of you go up thitrco and reeve it over that bough." Thwas don?. "Now, then, pull away, yethree I" The tores men palled, anupon Dixon's command made tho rojfast when thoir unfortunate leader wifairly owinging in the air. Dixon son his horse eyeing tho scene until 1was sn ti ficd that the maa was dead, arthon, forbidding tho negroes to cut hidown for twenty-four hours, ordered theto disperse, which they did, and quietrode off home.Things moved on In this way until tl

opening of thc present campaign in thCounty, and Dixon became a candidafor Sheriff. The convention which min July last nominated Mr. Stubblefieland this enraged Dixon so much that 1announced himself an independent cadidate, and went vigorously to work stiring up the negroes on the race issnThis enraged a portion of the citizensYasoo, and the announcement that Di:waa to assemble an armed band of n

groes at Benton caused a crowd of whitto appear. Presently Cs^t. Dixon aitwo friends rode np in a buggy. 1faced tho crowd of advt, .naries, defiithem, and returned home. Thithermob followed him, and demanded thhe should leave tho country, neverreturn. Several of his Democratfriends attempted to Blay tho mob, withreatened to burn their booses aud Iown. Finally, to save tho propertyneighbors, he agreed to withdraw aacandidate.

it thought this bad ended tho mtter, but Dixon returned to Yazoo Ciand, while passing down the street, whailed by James N. Barksdale, candids

for Chancery Clerk on tho Democraticticket. Barksdale approached with adoable-barrel shot-gun and Dixon drewhis pistol, whereupon Bark-dale present¬ed his gun and Dixon moved towards a

stairway. Barksdale fired and Dixon fellmortally wounded. Several shots werofired by Dixon, and Barksdale Gred oncemoro but missed. Dixon died in a shorttime, and llarksdale was arrested andhold for trial on a bond for 115,000.This circumstance, which is said to

have grown out of a personal difOculty,bas been used with great '-fiect againstthe Democratic party iii the North andWest, where the facts and mitigating cir-cums'unces can uever bo presented.Such occurrences as this do more to keepthe South down than all tho speechesBlaine, Coukliug mid Chandler canmake, and for this reason they should bov.iihesitatingly condemned. This matter,which was only local, has been magni¬fied into a great political massacro, andwill be used until long after a hundredmore wicked and dangerous crimes havebeen committed in thc North and West,which will uever be the subject of com¬ment by tho politicians who see in thisnu opportunity to keep sectional strifealivo, and aro determined to make 'homost of it.

Anniversary Celebration of tho ConnorLight Dragoons.

Mn. EDITOR: Wednesday, 13th inst.,was the day appointed by thu ConnorLight Dragoons, of Garvin township, forthe celebration of their second anniver¬sary. The day dawned cool and pleas¬ant, and by 10 o'clock a vast crowd hadassembled at Bishop's B.'unch Academy.As the Connor Dragoons rode up to thoparade ground on one side, the red shirtsof tho Pendleton Artillery were seen

flashing through the green foliage aa theyadvanced from an opposite quarter. ThoPendleton Artillery, wearing their redshirts and navy blue pants, and tho Dra¬goons, in their uniform of dark navybluo coats and gray pants, relieved bystripes of gold as the ensigninof cnvalry,presented a fine appearance. The troops,after going through the usual exercisesof artillery and cavalry drill, in whichthey were incited to a generous rivalryby fair faces, bright eyes, and wavingkerchiefs, wero followed by tho vast as¬

semblage to a grove where a stand hadbeen erected for tho speakers. Ocn.Connor had been expected, but much toour disappointment, circumstances pre¬vented his attendance.Maj. John B. Moore, however, had

been able to accept tho invitation ex¬tended to him, nnd was on the stand.He began his oration by a suitable eu¬logy on tho distinguished gentlemanwhoso name the company bears. Hospoke of bim as a true and law-abidingcitizen: aa a brave and skillful soldier;aa a lawyer of unquestioned integrityand distinguished abilities, who had ad¬ded much to the jurisprudonco of hiscountry ; and aa a statesman whose onlyambition waa to promote the welfare ofhis country. Pursuing his theme, hosaid : In 1876, when a cloud hung likea funeral pall over South Carolina,' whenshe lav crushed and bleeding under thefeet of loreign tyrants and native serfs,Ocn. Connor came forward with Hamp¬ton nnd his other noble compeers to raiseour prostrate State and restore our grandold Commonwealth to all her pristinedignity. Tho people gallantly came totheir assistance, and when tho desperatefight was fought and tho glorious victorywon, they rewarded the devotion and pa¬triotism of their leaders with the highesthonors in the gift of the State. But,said be, the Democratic party has notalway* been so discriminating. lu 1874Anderson County, with its undoubtedDemocratic majority, repudiated a manwho had exerted all bis Btrongth in thecause nf hi» country and Democracy andplaced in tho Senate the man who wasthe founder nnd perpetrator of UnionLenguea in our County. Such a policyis as pernicious as it is unjust. But ex¬cept ni these dark days, when nota gleamof hope animated their drooping spirits,South Carol i o ians have always done theirduty. In tho Revolution no troopsfought more bravely than thoso of Ma¬rion, of Sumter, and of Lee. In 1812South Carolina's eons were found in thofront ranks of war fighting for Northerncommerce and tho dignity of tho Union.In tho Indian war of 1836, South Caro¬lina lost none of her reputation for in¬trepidity and valor, and in the great warwith Mexico it was tho old PalmettoRegiment that was foremost in everyfight, and which first planted an Ameri¬can flog on the battlements of Mexico.South Carolinians h avo ever loved theUnion with a fervid devotion-a devo¬tion equaled only by their lovo for theirnative State. They havo given in its de-feuco their best and noblest blood : theyhave devoted to the Halls of Congresstbe talents of our greatest statesmen, andnot till they deemed the Constitution oftho Union trampled upon, the dearest,rights of their State threatened, and thechoice between tho Union and their Stateforced upon them, did they raise an armagainst tbo United States Government.We will not now raiso the questionwhether or not tho opinions of SouthCarolina wero right. Her conduct, it iscertain, was in accordance with her prin¬ciples, and I honor the devotion withwhich she maintained thoso principles,even to tho verge of her ruin. I wouldloee my good right arm rather thanbrand the course of South Carolina asdisgraceful. Yet, for this conduct shebar been held up as a suitable mark formalignant opprobrium and unmeritedinsults; as a fit subject for tyrannicaloppression and cruel wrongs. SouthCarolina has been pointed at as the bothed of sedition and rebellion. But thisis false. It is not that her term loved theUnion less, but that they loved theirRial« mnrn. Thn rt<u>.th nf A l>rahnmLincoln, ho went on to say, was to usoneof tho greatest misfortunes connectedwith the war. Lincoln was agreat states¬man and a pure patriot, and bad he livedwould soon have bridged over the fearfulchasm produced by civil war, and haverestored peace and prosperity to tho dis¬tracted laud. His death devolved thotask of carrying out his policy on John¬son, and he, a Southerner, could not ac¬complish in opposition to Congress whatLincoln, the idol of the Northern people,could and would have effected. Congresstriumphed over the President and pur¬sued a ourso which placed tho Southunder a despotism as rank and ruinonsas that ofa Robespiere or an Alba. Fora time tho people of South Carolina werecompelled by bruto force to submit, butas soon as the first faint gleam of hopeappeared they vindicated the superiorityor the Anglo-Saxon race, and now holdtho reino of gorcrnment, to which theyare entitled by a'I tho attributes essentialto rulers. Such a people will never,while they hi»vo strength to defend it, seeany class of men touch the garment« ofthe Constitution to defile it. The onlydanger is that they may be lulled into afatal dream of security from which theymay awake to find their- limbs shackledwith the chains of political slavery. Thecampaign of 1880 will be ono of vital im¬portance, and tho Democracy of SouthCarolina wltl havo to put forth its moststrenuous exertions if it hopes to main¬tain itself in the position to which by »U

energy and perseverance it has raised it¬self.

in the absence of Gen. Connor extem¬pore speeches were called for, and Mr.W. Knight followed in a speech ja Lib¬erty (we think that was tho theme; weti«) not bear it accurately.)After a short interval, at the solicita¬

tion of some visitors and tho vociferousclamor of tho assembly, Col. Simpsoncame forward and addressed tho audi¬ence. Ile briefly, hut clearly and forci¬bly laid bare the designs of Northernmonopolists. These men wish to concen¬trate the government ut Washington,where they will havo it more completelyunder their control and can procuro leg¬islation in their interest to the detrimentof the people. To illustrate, ho said :Some time since these men procured thewithdrawal of Hilver from circulation.This took $7.00 from the price of everybale of cotton. Their object is to enrichthemselves at the expense of thc people,and to do this they go to tiieir tool, theSecretary of Treasury, and procure acontraction of the currency. Then,when money is scarce and a small quan¬tity will purchase a great deal, they pur¬chase immense quantities of bonds, stocksand other things. Then they go againto tho Secretary of thc Treasury and pro¬curo an expansion of tho currency.Now, when money is plentiful and eréry-thing is high, they sell their bonds, etc.,and pocket tho difference. Tbcso capi¬talists are opposed to Democracy becauseDemocracy is opposed to monopolies,nud in tho next campaign these men willthrow all the weight of their influenceagainst UH, and we may expect no child'splay in 1880. Hut there ure monopolistanearer homo with whose movements weare, if possibly, even more concerned.Take tho »ingie item of phosphate mo¬nopolists. Phosphate rocks were foundiu the navigable rivers of tho SUtto, andbelonged to tho people. During Radicalrule Chamberlain, Corbin, Geo. W. Wil¬liams and others bribed the Legislaturefor$î 10,000 to give them the exclusive right tomine these State demtits. These mouopo-lists tried to maka it appear that theywere working merely for tho good of thopeople, when it was known positively thatone of the companies was clearing onehundred per cent, on all their investment,and all this gain was at the expense oftho farmers of our State. Again, thesecompanies export immense quantities ofthe crude rock to England, and sincethere can be no fraud here they ship thobest rock to Europe, and supply our far¬mers with thc refuse, and that, too, at aprice so exorbitant that it would becheaper for us to purchase in Englandwhat is sont from South Carolina than tobuy it at tho works. As computed bytho best chemists in the United States,tho valuable ingredients amount to from$2 to $12 in the ton, and the farmers arofraudulently robbed of tho balance of thoprice. Shall we submit to such wrongssilently and patiently? These monopo¬lists aro using all tho power they cancommand, both with the press and theLegislature, but the people cannot andwill not much longer suffer this extorlion. They will rise up and assert theirrights, and by tho intelligent uso of thoelective franchise they will secure them.He then went on to speak of tho impor¬tance of our militia. Ho quoted Gov.Hampton aa saying that agents will besent dowu from tho North to stir upstrifes between the negroes nnd thowhites, and the timo will come when, notsatisfied min stirring up political strifes,these agents will incito tho negroes toopen violence aud general insurrection.Tho time will come when tho Republi¬can party will attempt to hold power byforce, and any outburst of violence in theSouth will be seized os a propitious op¬portunity for its exercise, especially ifthe State governments cannot preservepeace. That government alone was re¬spected, he said, which had the power toenforce its laws, and tho forco of ourStates consists in our militia. Let us,then, not look upon our organization asuseless, but regard them as the surestbulwarks of peaco, and as the protectorsof nil of both races who wish to live un¬der a stable and efficient government.The crowd then dispersed to their

houses, well satisfied that the day hadbeen neither wasted nor perverted.A SAD SUICIDE.-Tho community waa

shocked yesterday morning by the an¬nouncement that Mrs. Harriet E. Rose, arespectable lady of fifty three years ofage, living with her husband at 2G9Meeting street, v/p.» found dead in herroom, having committed suicide by hang¬ing herself to the bedpost. Mr. John G.Rose, her husband, is a cripple, andmakes a livelihood by making cigars.About 4 o'clock yesterday morning the.deceased got up and went into an adjoin¬ing room. She was seen by ber husbandwhen sho got up, but thinking nothingabout it ho fell asleep again. About 7o'clock bogot up and to bis horror onentering the next, room ho discovered hiswife hanging from the bedpost with aropo around her neck. Mrs. Appelor, aneighbor, was called, and she called inMr. V. Brandt, who, thinking that lifemight not yet bo extinct, cut the bodydown and used all means possiblo to re¬vive her, but in vain. Tho unhappywoman had tied tho rope around herneck and attached the other end of it totho top of tho bedpost, which was verytall, belonging to one of tho old styledEnglish bedsteads. Sho then jumped o tlthe bed, throwing her whole weight onher neck, her feet not coming within twofeet of tho floor. Her neck was not broken, and sho must have died of strangu¬lation. Uer husband and her eon, whohos recently been married, could give noreason for tbe rash act. Deputy CoronerPhilippy was notified and held an inquestover the body at 4 o'clock yesterday af¬ternoon. The verdict was that the de-ceaneù came to her death at her residcucu,269 Meeting street, about 7 o'clock ontiio morning of the 21st of August, 1879,by hanging herself to tho bedpost with nrope while laboring under mental aberra¬tion.- Charleston News and Courier.

A RELIGIOUS VIEW OF THE CONKLINGScKAi'ic-Tho New York Independent says:"We would like to havo tho Republicanparty in this State, of which ScnatoiColliding has been the leader, harmoni¬ous and successful. It does not nelp thatparty to talk about the moral character oltho senator who is so admirable a politicalgeneral. It may help somewhat thosewho have been known as anti-Conklingmen, and thus sow dissension in tho par¬ty and weaken it. We are very sorrybut we have moral duties which aremore imperative than any political du¬ties, and we feel compelled to say thatSenator Conkling has seriously imperill¬ed himself in the esteem of the Christian

fieoplo of tho country ; that he has fatal-v injured himself if it shall como to bebelieved that Mr. Spraguo bas goodgrounds for his jealousy. There may bepity for Mrs. Spraguo; there will bescorn for the proud senator who couldbieak up another man's household. TheAmerican public is not going to allow iupublic servants tb become indifferent Uthe requirement» of social honor."- The News and Couria, speaking of a

thunder storm in Charleston on Inst Sun¬day, says : The electricity seems to haveconcentrated ita force upon the uppciportion of tho city. A gentleman, resid¬ing near Saus Souci street, states that foia half hour there was a continuous pla)of lightning about his neighborhood, andthe pcoplo thereabout began to believethat the final great fire had come. ODono place eight large trees wera rivenand shattered from (op to root. On an¬other a house was struck and considera¬bly damaged, tho chimney being knockedinto pieces. A shotgun in one of therooms was struck, and reduced to merefragmenta. In this houao a colored maowas shocked so soverely that li* lay un¬conscious for several hours. A nnmbeiof other persons were also shocked, mortor lees seriously.
