into the next South Carolina Legislature:
l. BE it enacted by the Senate and House
of Representatives in General Assembly met,
ard by the authority of the same, That from
and after the first day of March next it shall
he unlawful for any person orp persons whomso-
ever, to give, sell, deliver exchange or offer to
give, sell, deliver, or exchange any Bowie knife,
Arkansas toothpick, Spanish dirk-knfe, dirk,

shall be of opinion that such killing was in
self-delence; thcn in such case, the jury may
find verdict of not guilty. If upon the trial
OF any such case, the jury should, against the
opinion of the presiding judge, find a verdict
OF not guilty, the solicitor may appeal and

opinion that such killing was not in selfdefence
until the proper verdict be found. -

A RAT SroRy-AN ABRIDGED TALE.-Some
time since, at one of our city Institutions, a
corpulent hog of feminine gender, presented
the City Fathers with litter of nine infant
specimens of her kind, oil of whom were de-
lvered in good condition, and gave promise oil
carrying out the destiny of their race-to grow
get fat and be killed in good season, for the
benefit of the treasury of the municipality. A
few nights after their birth, while they were
enjoying good sleep, the sty, which constitu-
ted their home, was invaded by colony of raw
enous rats, who infested the locality, and the
peaceful sleepers being snugly nestled under
their mother, presented no other point of attack
than their rearward appendages, which pro
truded in manner toe tempting for the re-
morseless invaders, and each and every tail was
gnawed off so closely that scarcely vestment
remained. No other damage was done them,
end they all survive their loss and bid fair to
do well in the world, except that the incipient
bacon of one of the suffererers was somewhat
reduced by the yoracity Of its assailant CIR.

SINGULAR FATALITY. "A remarkable ms
lance of fatality, says the Richmond Enquirer
has just occurred at Georgetown, d. c. On
Wednesday morning the family Of Mr.. VIM
Tyler, nephew of ex-President Tyler, and a
clerk in the office of the Auditor for the Post
Office Department, sat happily together around
their breakfast table. Towards noon, Mrs. Is
abella A. Bemis, lady Of the gentleman of that
name, clerk in the Third Auditors Office, and
sister to Mrs. Tyler, was taken ill, and died
about IL o'clock Thursday night About the
period OF this affective event, Mrs. Frances
Annette Tyler was attacked by Illness and ex-
pired at noon today. These two ladies arc
daughters Of Carter Stevenson, ESQ.,, and nei-
ces of the Hon. Andrew Stevenson, of Virgin
ia. Their mother, an aged lady, is now very
i'll, and it is understood the family PHYSICIAN
has requested an immediate removal from their
present house, which is located near or imme.
diately over sewer, and the neighborhood in
the rear is not as clean as it ought to be. In
addition, we hear Of the sudden death of a col
ored woman.

Judicial-ImpOrtamt.

We learn that the U. S. District Attorney
for this Territorr, has brought suit against
the Railroad Company for trespass on the Gov
ernment Lands, the object being, as we under
stand it, to bring the question before the U. s.
Supreme Court for settlement,-that is, to de-
eide the question whether the company is emit.
tied to the lands. We have no objection to
this course, provided that the matter is stated
fairly, and then if the Court decid in favor Of
the company, well and good we cheerfully
acquiesce but from what we hear we are fear.
full that the question will not be stated as il
should be, and we therefore call attention to
the matter.
The facts in the case are these: Congress
gave Minnesota certain number of acres OF
land for Railroad purposes. Minnesota gave
away the land before she had received it, into
the hands of a Company to be organized
Congress did not intend that the Company
should have it, and therefore so worded the
bill as to exclude it. The agents of the Com
pany altered the bill after Congress had passed
it. Congress then repealed the bill taking the
lands away from Minnesota and away from the
Company in consequence Of the alteration. >.
Now then, the United States brings suit
against the Company for trespass. The Com
pany set up the plea that Congress once hav-
ing given them the lands cannot take them from
them. This is put on the record, and if we are
informed correctly without any explanation as
to the act of Congress for repeating the bill.
1t strikes US that this is not right, still it
may be. 1t seems to us that it is necessary
that the reasons why the bill was repealed,
should also appear on the record. If there is
no cause assigned by Congress for repeating the
bill, as a matter of course the Company will
gain their case, but aplea of an alteration ha-
wing been made, must very materially affect
the issue. AS it is a subject in which the pub
lie are interested, the precise state of the mat
ter should be made public, for it is legitimate
subject of discussion. The case is in able
hands, and we believe that these points, if they
are of any Importance, will receive due atten-
ton. At least We hope so. 49, et-fT

INCIDENTAL HoNrcrDE-Day before yester-
day party of young men started from this
city on the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad on a
hunting excursion, and left the cars at the lit
tie town of Osgood, Indiana. In the afternoon
three of the party named Buchan, Brown and
Gowlden, agreed to shoot at a mark for the
proceeds of q days hunt, and appointed a Mr..
Thompson as umpire. After they had shot,
Mr.. I. went to examine the mark when Buchan
raised his gun and said, ~ think could shoot
him right through the top his head" With
the words he pulled the trigger, thinking that
his piece was not loaded, but to his consterna-
ton the gun went off and Thompson fell dead,
the whole charge entered the back part of his
head. He was brought to this city, and YES

|. Considerable sensation was created yes
terday by the arrest of j. M. King, a
guard at the Prison, and the seizure, at the
house of the accused, Of a quantity of valu-
able goods, identified as theproperty of the
State. He was arrested upon two charges,
one for embezzelment, and the other for
aiding a convict to escape. ---.'''-
1t seems that property to large amount
has been missing from the shoe-shop at diff
ferent times during the year. Leather and
other stock disappeared. in the most unacs
countable manner, and boots and shoes
seemed to walk off after fashion altogeth-
er mysterious; y, King was first suspected,
we believe, about the first week in July last,
since which time the Argus eyes of the
Warden have been rpon him. But the rob-
berries were SO adroitly planned that the
most sleepless vigilance seemed wholly at
fault. r., rs. 80 go as, 80 Il
!" The foreman of the shop was convict
named Nets. If lie could throw any light
upon the subject, he must of course be a
party to the transaction, and the idea of his
determination seemed unlikely, but at all
events it was decided to approach him. The
result was that the entire plot was revealed.
1t appears that another convict named Ad-
Ter, who worked in the grist-mil, was also a
party. From time to time the articles We're
conveyed from the shop to the mill, where
they were snugly packed in bags of bran,
and in that disguise passed out of the yard.
The fact was also divulged that prepara-
odn for e
through the fundamentally of King. A
suit Of citizens clothes were prepared and
placed at the disposal of Nets. Other facts
were divulged by the latter, which rendered
the chain of circumstances complete, and
yesterday morning, Mr.Wilson, the warden,
made affidavit as to the main facts before
Justice Field, who issued warrant and
King was arrested.
simultaneously with the arrest, search
warrant was taken out and entrusted to Mcssrs.
Huffman and Fleming, who proceeded to the
residence of King in the upper part of the
city, where they found about one hundred dol
lars worth OF boots, shoes and leather, togeth-
er with a "large and complete assortment of
other articles, consisting of ticking, yarn, fine
thread, shoe thread, tacks, &C., the whole con-
shutting stock large enough to set up two or
three Yankee peddlers in thriving business.
1t is said that about $1,000 is missing in all.
King was committed for examination to-
morrow at o'clock. No one would have i'm
agincd from his appearance that he stood ar
raigned for fragrant offence. He cvinced
not the slightest trepidation, and assured all
with whom he had occasion to converse, that
his innocence could be clearly estabished He
is about fortyfive or fifty years of age and
has enjoyed until recently, the fullest confidence
of all with whom he has had official or social
intercourse. lie is from Guernsey county
Great credit is due to Mr.. Wilson and his
assistants, as well as Mr.. Butler, Director for
the prudence and untiring vigilance which they
have manifested in bringing the affair to light.
