TRAGIC AEFAR-FATHER. AND Sor
SHor,-On Saturday last, q dreadful
and apparently well planned assault,
with intent to kill, was madeupon DR.
Theodore .Dehon and his son, Theo-
dore Dehon, Jr., by negroes, while
the former were returning from their
plantation at Ashepooto to Walterboro
We have not received full particulars
of the assault, but learn that the as
sailants were the former slaves of DR.
Dehon They were all armed, and
fired several shots. The son was dan
gerously, and, it is feared, mortally
wounded. DR.. Dehon received four
shots, and, though severely wounded,
is considered out of danger. Six Of
the negroes, including the driver of
the plantation and his son, have been
arrested. The cause of the attack
was unknown. DR.. Dehon is the son
of the late Bishop Dehon.

Bishop Whitehouse, of the Episco-
pal Diocese Of Illinois, some months
since, prohibited the. Rev. J. W.
Cracraft from officiating at Grace
Church, Galesburg, for the technical
irregularity Of not having presented
his dismissory papers from the Dio-
cese of Ohio, and for political preach
ing. His congregation refused to give
him up, and the Convention now in
session at Chicago voted to expel
them from the Diocese. It is said
this will be the subject Of an appeal to
the General Convention of the Epis-
Chnrch, which is soon.to meet at Phi
ladelphia.
The Cincinnati Gazette learns, on
the most reliable authority, that the
reports circulated by 4the Eastern
press relative to the speedy trial of
Jcierson Davis and Chief Justice
Chase's connection with it, are un-
founded. It says the Chief Justice
has very properly declined all confer
ence on the subject, and it is not at
all likely that he will hold any court
IN Virginia or North Carolina until
after Congress shall have had an OPP
portumsy Of legislating in regard to
tbe circuits in the rebel States.
A, woman in Newton, N. j., was
lately saved from violent death at
the hands of her husband by her

Tifie over her head because she would
not give up her money. The barrel
striking the mass of hair at her neck
prevented serious injury.

| FELLow-C1TIzENs: After much hesitation,
have consented to be put in nomination
for yonr Representative ia the Congress OF
the United States. publish this card, be-
cause the district is so large and the time
| before the election 80 short that could
not, If desired, canvass the District. II q
! canvass we're possible, however, do not
think it becoming or desirable. In nv
Judgment, this is no time for scramble for
Office. It seems to me that no one proper
ly impressed with the Rplemnity OF the
crisis, and tho dclcacy and Importance Of
the duties to be diGharged, could seek the
position merely for the qualification of por-
sonal ambition. For myself, declare that
have no wish but to serve the State.
In 1888, South Carolina, through a con.
venGon Of her people, became one Of the
United States. She remained a member OF
the Union until December, 1860, when,
through another convention OF her people.
sherepealcd the Ordinance OF 1888, seced-
cd from the United States, and with GER
tain other sister States catered into another
government: known as the Confederate
Government. We believed that we had lie
right to secede and! thaEour security r.
quircd it's exercise in corporation with our
Southern sisters. South Carolina, ia 1852,
proclaimed by solemn ordinance the right
OF secession. It had long been the settled
opinion Of the State that she was sovereign
and entitled to al the rights of sovereignty.
She asserted self-government in order to
secure her institutions and principles from
great evils, believed to be imminent. Sc
cession was in tho naAlrc Of a proceeding
qula Hnaet. 1t was conceived in the spirit OF
f-preservation-not to injure others but
to save ourselves. 1t cannot be necessary
to say that am one Of those who believe
that it was an honest effort for honorable
purposes. The United States Government
denied the right Of secession and waged
war upon the Confederate States, which
stood upon the defensive. q terrible war
OF invasion and desolation followed, and
finally the Confederate States were over
wheimed by force Of numbers and dissolved. /
At the end Of the war the%State of South |
Carolina found the Confederacy broken up,
her citizens vino survived the terrible |
ordeal exhausted and impoverished, her

A CoLoBED MAN EXCLUDED FROM A
STREET yesterday afternoon, as
q car on the Belt Railroad North
River was passing along Battery
Place, colored man attempted to
get on the back platform, but was
driven off by the conductor. The
colored man then approached the
front platform Of the car, but ap-
peared to change his mind, and did
not attempt to get on. He then
walked over to the sidewalk. The
conductor, passing through the car,
said to the driver: f'Did you drive
that - off?' The driver replied: !:
''No; he did not attempt to get on, or
l would" and so the affair ended.
