FIENDIsH ATTEMPT An internal machine
conspiracy has just been lereted out in North
crn Ohio by Cincinnati detective. On De-
cember 5, Howard dillingham;, master machin-
list Of the car shops at Youngstown, Ohio, re-
ceived by express small box shipped from
Cleveland Not expecting anything Of the
kind he was at once suspicious of its contents,
and instead of drawing the lid, pried open one
of the lower corners. A lot Of gunpowder fell
out The box was then Thoroughly soaked and
opened in the side. 1t contained half a
pound of gunpowder and a row Of upright
Matches so arranged as to explode the powder
when the lid was drawn. The matter was en-
trusted to detective, who succeeded in finding
the man who sent it. The scoundreIs name is
William Howarth, and he is one ofthe machn-
lists under his intended victims control Last
month the latter discharged his son. and the
Internal machine was intended to revenge that
act. Howarth is now in Jail.

Wool IN THE SoUIu. Tho Baltimore

Wool IN THE SoUIu. The Baltimore
Transcript speaking Of the great increase of
the trade in wool in the United States says
''The Southern States are better adapted to
sheep husbandry than any portion of tie world,
and we would specially commend this branch
of enterprise to the attention of their people
The idea entertained by some Southerners that
the South is too warm for sheep to flourish, is
entirely without foundation Any part Of
Maryland or Virginia is admirably adapted for
sheep raising The whole South has a most
decided advantage over other parts Of the Uni
ted States for the production Of wool, in soil,
climate, and abundance and variety Of grasses
The winter feeding Of the most favored part Of
Of the North averages $50 days, and costs,
under the most favorable circumstances, q cts
per pound, whilst in the Southern States it is
not necessary to feed in winter, except under
the most extraordinary circumstances. The
Southern States, including those west of the
Mississippi river, embrace an area of four hun
dred and fifty thousand square miles, or two
hundred and Lightweight millions square acres
The attention to sheep husbandry need not
impair the cultivation of the great Southern
staples.

THE TERRToNIALIzING SCHEME.-W e hard
" know in what vein to discuss what is called
the Congressional Bill to reinstate civil gov
ernmcnt in North Corolina and her nine sister
Southern States, for We presume that the
scheme is intended to swing round the entire
circle of the unreprcsented States. Its effect
would be to throw the ten excluded States into
the hands Of ten Congressional satraps, who
would be accompanied bv squad OF adven-
turers eager for prey, cf that class commonly
styled Southern oysists, a class OF rovers who
have no fixed habitat, but who, like vultures,
are to be found wherever there is garbage and
prey. Stevens design is to exclude everybody
from the polls, except the negroes and TIE So
called loyalists --BoStoa Commercial.

CANDIDA = Mail advices from Gambia give
the details of the disaster to the Turks at the
Convent OF Arcadion. The convent contained
$40 souls, including 343 women and children,
leaving 1877 men defending itagainst Mustapha
Pasha's army of -, 900. The Cretans refused
to surrender, aud the Turks bombarded the
convent two days and nights. After preaching
the walls, the Turks poured into the court Of
the convent, but the Christians continued to
defend themselves from the cells, and finally a
monk fired the magazine, hurng Christians
and Turks into the air Two thousand Turks
were killed and large numbers wounded, and
only thirty-nine men and sixty women and
children of the garrison were left alive. Over
a thousand wounded Turks had arrived at the
hospitals from this explosion. The Turks had
burned seven Cretan villages in revenge, for
which the Cretans had burned twenty7seVen
Turkish villages. ....- . .... ..:..

AMERICAN COMMERCE New York
Times says that the report of the Secretary OF
the Treasury shows that though formerly a
first class commercial Power aud apparently
destined soon to lead the commerce ofthe world,
we have during the last six years, been steadily
falling behind Great Britain, AMI if the d.
minution of our ship:building and carrying
trade goes on at the present rates (of some
fifty per cent in six years, We shall ere long
cease to be a commercial Power Of any import
ance. These serious facts are confirmed by
figures, showing the decrease in American
tonnage from this country, aud the increase in
English, employed in our ports One cause OF
this is, high duties upon raw material.

MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.-O Sunday
night, a daughter Of Mr. ". H. IIolIing>worh
died from the effects of medicine given her.
The deceased is but little over thirteen years
Of age, and On Friday, complaining Of a severe
pain in her side, tic family physician, DR.. ~
". Miller was called in, who prescribed tor
her The prescription was put up at the drug
store of James Walsh, and the medicine ad-
ministcrcd, but in short time the symptoms
were such that The family became alarmed, and
sent for another physician, wao finding that
she was unconscious (cvideutly aboring under
strong opiate.( Immediately applied the
proper remedies. but without avail. She died
in Il few hours. . ..
1t seems that Dr. Miller, in rescribng for
the child, finding that it was restless, wrote
out L prescription tic chief Ingredient Of which
should have been one drachm elixir nf opium,
nos al ctficinal preparation, but known as Nc
Mum preparation OF opium, aud recognized
BY the medical profession for its soothing quail
tiles ....
Tie Doctor in writing the prescription
abbreviated the word elixir, as he claims, 'cxl, -
but the son of Dr. James Walsh read it ext, I"
aud 50 compounded it. The dose having been
prescribed--onc table spoonful-in accordance
with the intention Of DR.. Miller that elixir
should be used, it was so administered to the
child, and thereby she took at least seven
grains Of opium, whereas the intention was
less than half grain. ........-..
An inquest was held, but the jury failing to
agree as to whom the blame should be attached,
the matter has been referred to the Grand
Jury-Nnt Int.

CONSERVATISM IN WASHING
TON COUNTY.

We have heard it remarked by the " Softs"
that a majority Of the people of this county
are Of their persuasion. We think the de-
demonstration here on The cath Of last month
gives plain, emphatic lie TO this asser-
tion. There is no county in East Tennessee,
whose people more cordially repudiate the
doctrine that rebels should be again permit
ted to reign over us-the doctrine which is
the sum and substance of Conservatism. The
res,lutions unanimously adopted by the WASH
ington County Union Convention meet with
general endorsement, and If there Is a single
syllable or word, from which by nny possible
construction, the idea that political power
and privilege have never been forfeited by
the traitors of the South can be inferred,
we do do not understand the English Ian.
guage. Since the meeting Copperheads have
not been quite so loud in their sanguine e1-
pectations as formerly, and they begin " to
see through Il glass darkly " that utilization
with or open sympathy for rebels don't pay. ~
If any man coyets a defeat from the dis
grace Of which he cannot recover "during
his natural life, ~ he should run for an Office
in Washington County upon tie Conservative
platform.
