Houses FOR WoRKING-MEN-One of the mis-
f,rtunes Of this city, to which we have before ad-
yerted, is the inadequate amount of house 70 I'm
for people Of moderate means, mechanics and
others Every capitalist, who builds at all, puts
I'M ycry costly structures. They all seem to for
get that the majori'ies Of any town Of much size
must be composed of persons who cannot pay We
" large rents, but who yet OF the highest i'm.
nortance to the prosperity OF the place. We ven
lure to say, that our accommodations for wolk king
families IRE as scant, if not more so, than any
other town in the State.
This IS Il great drawback. If We cannot house
the laborer, we cannot have him or his labor.
The consequence is, that labor is higher and more
difficult to obtain than in most other places of
equal population. Many mechanics and Labor ers
are driven off by high rents and costly provisions
Houses Of three or four rooms, which rent from
$50 to $3.50, do not suit the man who wins bread
BY his sweat-and just such men Lynchburs now
reeds, in large numbers, t. make her what she
ought to be.
Now that the building season is at hand, and
the Spring trade is getting somewhat dull, will
not some Of oar moneyed-men think of this mat
ter? We have plenty Of well located lots suita-
bic for unpretentious family dwellings,. Scores
might be put up during the Summer, which would
rent most readily at remuneratiye rates.

TIE EARTHQUAKE IN THE SoUTUs-We
find the following in the Abbeville IS. c.
Banner Of the 25th ult:
On last Monday morning, about 5 o'clock
a Tow rumbling noise, which lasted about
one half minute, is said to have been heard
by many of our citizens. It Yves immedi-
atcly followed by rocking Of tbs earth from
east to west. The shock was rot violent,
but was seusibly felt by those ofour citizens
who appear to have been awaNe at the time, .
Pn1LADELpn1A, Oct. 30.-The jury in
the case of William Byerly, tried for forg-
ing the election returns Of the first Con-
gressional district, and thus defeating Mr..
Lehman, the Democratic candidate, and e.
Letting Mr.. Butler, rep, brought in a 'ver-
dict of guilty this morning. The counsel
Of the accused will probably carry the case
to the Supreme Court. The speech of Mr..
Mann, the district attorney, was one Of
great eloquence and power.
DEATH OF "OLD J 3E SWEENEY 1.-The
celebrated banjost "Old Joe Sweeney" died
in Appomattox county, Va, on Saturday
evening, the 9th inst at about the age of
45 years. He had travelled extensively in
Europe, and almost entirely over the Uni
ted States, and enjoyed, probably, a great
er reputation than any other man as a BAN
joist, having bee,i' the first 'artist' to intro
dute the banjo at public concerts
DARN OF Coli. JOHN Z. SAUtNDERs.- The
death of this officer of the Navy has been
announced. He entered the Navy in 1909
and has consequently served during peri
cd Of 81 years-about thirty of which on
active duty at sea or on shore. For niarh-
Der of years past he has been afflicted with
paralysis, for which reason he was placed
on the reserved list by the action Of the
"Naval Retiring Board"
Gov. Gist, of South Carolina, having
been nominated for the U. S. Senate by a
writer in the Charleston Mercury, writes to
that paper that if Lincoln is elected, he
would not serve as a U. S. Senator from
South Carolina, as he could not properly
represent State that submitted to Black
Republican rule. .
The interest Of politicians Of all parties,
as'to the approaching Presidential election,
is now directed to the State Of New York.
