AUGUSTA, March 13.—Dr. G. W. Darden, who killed
Charles Wallace, editor of the Clipper, was taken from the
gaol at Warrentown last night by a party of disguised men,
who took him some distance from the town, where they
shot and killed him. Mr. Wallace had applied for ad-
mission into the Masonic Lodge at Warreutown, and was
black-balled by Dr. Darden, who had promised not to op-
pose his application. Wallace then attacked Darden
through the columns of his paper, denouncing him as a liar
and a villain. As Wallace was passing Darden's office the
latter shot him from his window with a rifle, the ball passing
through Wallace's head and causing instant death. The
affair causes intense excitement in Warrentown. Wallace
was a Democrat and Darden a Republican.

Lord Teynham is at present on an evangelising
tour in Shetland, and has been officiating in several of the
churches there. His lordship (says the Globe) is a very
earnest preacher, and is very zealous in the work in which
he is said to have been more or less ongagod for upwards of
40 years.

Messrs. Hibbert and Platt, the members for Old-
ham, have been relieved of the responsibility of the costs
attending the late scrutiny which was demanded as a means
of unseating them. Mr. Justice Blackburn, having con-
sulted the other two judges appointed to try election cases,
1:14§ decided that the petitioners shall pay the costs.

STORAGE or GUNPOWDER IN TOWNS.

In consequence of the late explosion on the Place de
Ia Sorbonne, great alarm has been expressed in various
'towns of France in which gunpowder is stored
fot: the army. The inhabitants of Angers
(Maine-et-Loire) have sent a petition on the subject
to the Emperor, the following being a passage of the docu-
ment:—" In this place the Grand Ducal castle contains an
immenle stock of powder and a manufactory of Chasse-
pot cartridges, in making which numerous workmen are
employed. Statistics demonstrate that on an average
about ten explosions occur annually in Europe. The new
inventions in pyrotechnic chemistry double the risk of
accident and multiply the disastrous consequences. Undei
such circumstances this town must necessarily feel re-
newed alarm, as it lives on a volcano. The Chateau of
anmur, with which place we are connected by ter-
Atorial affinities and common sympathies, runs no less
danger than ourselves. Its fortress is an immense
powder-magazine, and it is under the perpetual menace
of real peril. The Council-General of the department
and the municipal councils of Angers and Saumur
have several times expressed the fears entertained by the
population. We hope that the Emperor will take into
account the disquiet felt by the people, and that his
Majesty, who can do everything in such a matter, will
preserve us from the immense dangers with which we are
incessantly menaced."

IRISH AGRICULTURAL LABOURERS.

Ex-Governor Sir G. Grey has written to the
Daily News on the subject of the Agricultural
Labourer in Ireland. He refers to Mr. Trench's
book as a source of valuable information for those
who would acquaint themselves with the historical
part of the question. He attributes much of the
evil that now exists in Ireland to the fact that the
landlord is often a being o a different sphere from
those who toil for him, and is unable to undertake
the duty of attending to their interests through the
pressure of ,his business in another country. Atter
drawing a sad picture of the state of the Irish pea-
santry at home, Sir George Grey declares that they
as a race possess faculties in an equal degree with
any other nation on earth. In the colonies and
elsewhere they have proved themselves to be of
great ability, and rendered services to the society
they have entered into. The Irish naturally have a
tendency to seek other countries, and they often
interfere with the English labourers, who are sub-
jected by their employers to more restrictions.
It follows that two populations are brought into
hostile competition with each other, and are forced
into a dangerous position from causes over which
they have had no control. During the last election
it was seen how bitter a spirit prevailed between the
two races in some parts of England. The settle-
ment of the Irish Church question will not relieve
Ireland nor help the English labourer, and the same
evils will exist while the present land-law and cus-
toms regarding the tenure and entail of land remain
in force.

scription of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without
springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble
the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori-
ginals by the closest observer; they will never change
colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth
ever • before used. This nia•tliorl does not recpure the
extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will
support and preserve teeth 'hat are loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restore articulation and mastic:gion. Decayed
teeth stopped .and rendered sound and useful in masti-
cation.

ECONOMY AND JUSTICE.

Economy is a good thing ; justice is a better. We
cannot afford to be economical at the expense of
being unjust. The Army and Navy Gazette publishes
a story which, as told by our professional contem-
porary, certainly does seem very shabby. On the
removal of Indian troops (much against their will)
from Hong Kong—a step insisted upon by the
War Department in order to save the In-
dian allowance—a consolidated allowance for
China and Japan was substituted for In-
dian pay. This was represented to be insuf-
ficient to meet the high charges which pre-
vail in India for the necessaries of life ; and,
after due inquiry, the War Office issued an amended.
scale, guaranteeing a slight increase to officers
serving in China. But in granting this increase a
happy thought occurred to the ten Secretary for
War. Japan is a part of the same command; he
had heard that living was much cheaper there, and
there was a treaty of exchange, called the Itzeboo
Fund, by which the officers largely benefited. So he
ordered that 25 per cent. was to be deducted from the
new allowance set forth in the royal warrant. it so
happens, however, that the cost of living has greatly
increased of late years in Japan, that the Itzeboo Fund
has a balance on the wrong side, so that the supposed
advantages no longer exist. Thereupon the officers
protested, but in vain ; they then took the very
serious step of handing in a memorial to their
general. He referred it to the Commander-in-Chief,
who admitted that the complaint was reasonable,
being convinced of this by the report of a royal com-
mission which was appointed to inquire into the
matter. But the War Office has refused to give
way, Mr. Cardwell having come to the same deci-
sion RS Sir John Pakington. The fact that those
Ministers are agreed seems to imply that there is
another side to this matter. The one side which w
have seen bears a very ugly look.

bad ruined a girl, named Chaloner, of very respectable
family, and had been mortally wounded by the young
lady's brother, a lad of 17. The Army and .Aravy Gazette
learns by private accounts from Quebec that the " circum-
stances have been grossly exaggerated, end that the graver
charges against Lieutenant Whitaker are unfounded.'
What, then, is the true story? Lieutenant Whitaker died

THE SCOTCH EDUCATION BILL.

The Commission of the General Assembly of the
Established Church of Scotland has at last considered
the Scotch Education Bill, and has condemned it.
The members almost unanimously denounced it as
an attempt to introduce the secular system into Scot-
land. By forty-eight to six, a series of resolutions
was passed objecting to the bill, because it made no
provision for securing religious instruction, which
the Church had ever held to be an essential clement in
the education of the young ; because it not only made
no such provision in regard to the new schools, but
endangered the provisions already existing in the
parochial schools ; because there was no reason why
persons who had attended the university should not
compete for their certificates along with those who
had been taught at the normal schools ; because
sufficient consideration was not sliewn towards the
teaching body, in respect of provision to secure
in the school committees the presence of men
specially qualified to judge of the teachers' work;
because the bill arrested the progress of the
denominational system, by means of which the wants
of the country had been met, without that collision
which would be the almost certain result of the diffe-
rent religious bodies obtaining the control of the
proposed national system; because the cost of the
new system would be so exorbitant, from the with-
drawal of voluntary contributions, that in many
instances districts now supplied by these means would
be more inadequately provided for than they have
been. Thus both the Free Church and the Establish-
ment in Scotland have condemned the bill, in each
case because of its religious provisions.

SIR SAMUEL BAKER.

A letter from Alexandria, dated the 26th ult., says that
the expedition to Central Africa, under the superinten-
dence of Sir Samuel Baker, will shortly proceed on its
journey. Great political results are expected from it, as
it is thought that it will lead to the conquest of
very extensive and wealthy territories for the Viceroy.
This supposition casts some doubt on the Khedive's sin-
cerity in the suppression of the slave trade. He appears
determined to spare no expense, as the force placed at Sir
Samuel Baker's disposal has been selected from the best
troops in the Soudan. Five iron river steamers have been
ordered in England, and the cost of the preliminary outfits
is already £25,000. Sir Samuel has been given the rank of
Boy, and has engaged to remain four years in the Egyptian
service.

THE LATE BISHOP OF EXETER.

Sir George Bowyer declares, on his honour, that
the very words which he represented as having been
uttered by the Bishop of Exeter, in reference to the
Irish Church, were actually used by the deceased
prelate. " They made an impression on me at the
time as coming from him, for I knew how much he
deprecated that which his wonderful power of
intellect enabled him to foresee, and late event!
brought the recollection vividly to my mind." Sir
George says he published the anecdote at this time
because the sayings and doings of great men acquire
an additional interest after they are stereotyped by
death.

VACATION rTTERANCES.

The electors of Tiverton have had an opportunity
afforded them of meeting the Hon. George Denman,
Q.C., one of their members. The first reformed Parlia-
ment, he said in the course of his address, was the best he
had ever seen. There was in it a true spirit of work,
and a deep-seated and honest determination to get at
the root of grievances. The House would, in his
opinion, be furth3r improved by the addition of a few
men from the ranks of the working classes. Mr.
Denman paid a Binh compliment to Mr. Gladstone,
Mr. Sullivan, and Mr. Bright, for the ability with
which they had drawn up and carried through the
House the great work of the session. If he voted fox
the Ballot at all ho would do so with reluctance.
Mr. Reed, M.P., has been dealing with the educa-
tion question at Coggeshall, Essex. He was not, he
said, a believer in secular education. Education
taught the heart, and the heart and conscience were
not taught by reading and writing. Education, to be
worthy of the name, must be based on religious truth
contained in God's Holy-Word, which must bo kept at
all cost in our daily schools. It was said that the
working classes wanted purely secular education.
They wanted the best education they could have ;
not gratuitously, but at the very lowest cost and of
the -very best quality, provided no one interfered with
the legitimate right of a parent to choose his child's
school and teacher, or trilled with a parent's religious
feelings. Mere denominational teaching was to be
avoided.

BRVERLEY AND BRIDGWATER.

On the resumption of the Beverly election inquiry
on Friday the principal point of interest was the
expected examination of Sir Henry Edwards. Six
Henry was received with applause on enter-
ing the court, but was informed that the
commissioners had decided not to examine him. Upon
this he obtained leave to make a statement, in which
he contradicted the evidence of Mr. Sykes, his former
colleague. When Mr. Bainton proposed that Mr.
Sykes should pay Sir Henry's share of the election
expenses as well as his. own, Sir Henry declared that
ho refused to accept a penny. The arrangement by
which Mr. Boyes received £5OO originated with Mr.
Sykes, and not with himself. He had at first refused
to pay his share, and only consented on hearing he
was almost ruined by the prosecution. Sir H.
Edwards further stated that he lent Mr. Baker the
£5OO solely from good will, having never heard that
he had advanced money on his ahalf, though he
knew he had canvassed for him.

At Bridgwater the Commissioners have easy work.
the confessions being very candid. Frederick Jarman
stated that in 1859 he was employed to bribe voters,
and also in 1865, receiving in the latter year 2300
for that purpose from the " Man in the Moon," whom
he descriled as being "as nice and pleasant a man as
ever he was in company with." Some amusement
was excited during the inquiry by the evidence
of a clerk named Jarvis, who described himself
as secretary to the Bridgwater Working Men's Con-
servative Association, formed in June 1868 "to
educate the new electors." The secretary was
unwilling to calculate how many of his members
knew the difference between Conservatism and
Liberalism, and would not undertake to say that the
majority would not accept bribes, their political
education notwithstanding.

WHICH IS RIGHT ?

The Morning Star calls attention to what it de •
scribes as an interesting discrepancy of view. In his
recent speech at Aldbury, the Earl of Carnarvon
said, "It has been the glory of England that in every
single branch of public life those steps on the great
social ladder of improvement have never been
wanting, and, please God, the day will never come
when these opportunities will be taken away, because
it it is our glory that the highest place in law, the
most exalted position in the Church, the highest
position in the land, may all be claimed and obtained
however low may be the sphere, and however humble
may be the rank in which the man commenced life
Writing on the condition of the agricultural labourer.
Sir Charles Trevely-an remarks :—" His ordinary sub-
sistence is not sufficient to maintain him in the health
and strength required for the efficiency, and there-
fore the economy, of labour. It is impossible for him
to make any provision out of his scanty earnings fox
sickness and old age ; and all he has to look forward
to is a life of unintermitted toil, shut out from every
hope of advancement, and ending with his being
pensioned as a pauper on the poor rates."

THE NEW YORK GOLD MARKET.

The Times correspondent at Philadelphia reports that a
degree of wild excitement prevailed in the New York golf'
market on September 24th, the premium at noon being
forced up to 1622. The movement then broke down, the
premium falling to 133. The market was completely
demoralised, but the speculations had no reference to poli-
tical affairs, being caused by clique operations.

THE ARMY MEDICAL DEPARTMENT.

The United Service Gazette says that it is confi-
dently stated that eighty officers of all ranks belong-
ing to the Army Medical Department will shortly be
placed on half-pay. The rumour is partly attributed
to the proposed withdrawal of troops from the
colonies,. but in New Zealand the Imperial
force is likely to be increased rather than diminished.
The lists have been closed against fresh candidates,
but the United Service Gazette thinks no material
reduction will be made in the numerical strength,
though something may be done for the assistant-sur-
geons of ten years' standing by the concession of a
step of army rank, and a proportionate increase
of pay,
