TIE GREAT FALL IN FLOUR.-The great
fall in flour-two dollars in the barrel in
three days-begins to tell the story pretty
efectually Of what is to follow when the
new crop really fills the market. The
only occasion for surprise is, that already
the price has not come down lower and
more rapidly; but enough has already
occurred to warrant us in congratulating
our readers that the dire reign Of scarcity
and consequent speculative prices is over,
and that thenceforward the masses will
have things pretty much their own way in
the thing Of cheap Observation-Disclosures Com
merciQl.

Georgia's Shame.

The Columbus Sun, in concluding an ar
ticle on the result of the Infamous swindle
of Radical reconstruction in Virginia, eio-
quently groups the agencies that have, to
Georgia's shame, been brought to bear to
degrade that State, and appeals to patriot
ism to stand firm and see that no matter
what else goes down in the wreck, their
honor is saved. tt says:
Here, alone, has press urged the adop-
ton Of negro supremacy and white degrada-
zion as a matter of right. Here alone, has
the judicial ermine been dragged down and
grasged through the dirty slime OF African
radicalism. Here, alone, have men, once
honored and trusted, advised their fellow
citizens that Justice demanded that white
men should fit their necks to the yoke OF
degradation and humiliation. Surely
Georeians have seen enough to satisfy them
Chat Stripped as they are ofrights and priv
ileges, they cannot hope by any effort to
avert the immediate doom prepared for
them But the choice is yet left them tc
preserve their honor and integrity, or to
participate in their own shame They may
vet strike this reconstruction scheme
death blow. 1t can only be done by entire
anatby. Let them but leave this detesta
biz business to Joseph Brown, to Ashburn
Dupuing, the Bureau, the Military and the
pipgers, and in the bright time that lay
beyopd the black gulf now in view, they
viii not be compelled to wipe from thel
shields the dark record OF a self imposed
disgrace. st1

MURDER Will. OUT.-The older portion
Of the community remember the mysterious
murder of Lyons. a matchmaker, who kept
a store on East Bay, near the Custom
House. The murder occurred over twenty
years age, and various surmises were enter.
tanned, and several persons arrested at dif-
ferent times on suspicion. The store was
broken open and completely Quilted, while
Lyons was murdered in a most barbarous
manner. A jeweller named Flash was sus-
pected Of having committed the crime, and,
though the evidence appeared lAtrong, he
succeeded in clearly establishing his inno-
cence. The evidence was only circumstan-
tial, and several presons who had been in.
innate with Lyons were suspected, some oil
them having carried the stigma TO the day
of their death Reliable, intelligence re.
Gently received from Germany states that
German named Pappe, formerly clerk
in drug store in this city, was executed
in Hungary for murder. On Che scaffole
he confessed that, among other crimes, he
had murdered Lyons in order to rob his
store. The news will be extremely graft
flying to the old residents of the city, ant
especially to those who have been SO lonl
suspected Of this crime. There is no say
| ing more truthful than that murder will out

case Charleston News. ).
