A Mormon elder was recently pre-
sentsd with nine boys and FIVE girls on
the same morning. He would have
made a good "colonist" in the early
stages of our provincial existence.
At the village of Graulhet, France, a
man recently sold bis horse and bis wife
together for the sum of forty dollars, and
the wife duly ratified the contract by
administering sound thrashing to her
degenerate better half. -,
Two young girls, sisters, aged twelve
and fifteen years, named Matthias, have

The Iagialature.

: The proceedings Of the unlawful con.
tihua~ as heretofore, embarrassing, the
scaiawsgs do but little, bot there isa
prospect of an adjournment in q few
days. The resolution for adjournment
proposes the 18th inst, rs the time. If
SO we-Hill see the aRwashed hybrids at
home soon, in all their glory, fresh from
Legislative balls, with pockets full Of
bills redeemable. The business of the
:2eek may Be set down in part as follows:
A bill to provide clothes and tsansper.
tation to discharge conyicts from the
Penitentiary This will make tempo
rary residence in the above institution
very desirable. A resolution was offered
to give Judas, known commonly as Moses,
four dollars extra per diem,, in tender
consideration Of distinguished services as
speaker; twas voted down however, and
the reward win be rendered as dona-;
ton. The Probate Bill, and the bill to
quiet rights vested under military orders
were passed. Another Communication
has been received by the Governor show
ing the existence Of unauthorized bodies
of negroes, formed into patrol companies
and who are regulating the parish of st.
Johns, Colleton. It was referred to a
special committee to investigate and re-
port upon the facts, and there will rest.
Also bill to provide for municipal elec-
tons, on second Monday in November,
was passed, and new appropriation bill
covering $40, 900 read the first time. Be-
sides being approved Of BY the Governor,
bill to provide for the assessment and
collection of taxes, and an Act to provide
for the temporary organization of the
Educational department Of the State.
A futile attempt was made in the Sen.
ate Thursday last, to expel G. P. Leslie,
the conservative republican. Leslie is a
thorn in the radical flesh. He reminds
them continually Of their Ragrancy, and
they stand In mortal dread of the man.
The ball is in motion. Disintegrstion
grows apace in radical camp and council.

CooL.-The weather on Thursday
last, quite Unexpectedly took a decided
change. So great change that fires
and heavy clothing were not only pleas
ant, but indispensable. Unfortunately,
we have no clerk of the weather here at
present, and we are at the mercy of the
winds that blow up these changes, 9TH
wise, some preparation might beFmade,
if due notice we're given to meet snaps
so sudden. One of our suburban far
mers, who gets up soon in the morning,
says that there was frost on Friday.
We hope it will not repeat for q while
yet.

s.ret us Have PEACE, y,

Our exchanges tsem with accounts os
seutrages and diaboiisms, the reading Of
which fills che heart with horror. We
turn with loathing frem . repetition or
rehearsalof deeds the darkest, most re.
voting, sickening and internally wicked.
The history Of st. Domingo is repeating
itself in the Southern States, and an ig-
norant, naturally brutal population, mad
dened by the teachings Of the most de-
prayed and fanatical party the world ever
saw are the unhappy instruments in this
crusade. How long, how long, will this
wiekedness be permitted to prevail ?
How long ere the vials of wrath be pour.
ed out upon the heads of the instigators
and prime movers Of these diabofcal
crimes? For with tie same measure ye
meet, shall it be measured again. But
we will not anticipate; just retribution
will come. We said that rehearsal Of
these deeds is too siekening, and 80 it is,
but we give one, and hold it up to public
gaze, in the hope that an act so foul and
wicked may turn from their allegiance
those who are not yet fully sunk in the
forrest deeps of radicalism. But to the
recital Of the tragedy, which occurred in
North Carolina. A Mrs. Marks, a beau
tifal widow, with two little children, a
girls and q boy, together with hired
woman, the Only inmates Of the house,
innocent and unsuspecting danger, had
just retired for the night. Some one
knocking outside aroused the hired wo-
man, who raising the window discovered
negro man, who demanded to see the
lady that he had letter for her. This
was believed, and on the door being open
ed, nine armed negroes rushed in. The
hired woman aed through the back door.
Coming down stairs alarmed at the noise,
Mrs. II. seized by these negroes,
thrown upon . bed, tied hands and feet,
and an outrsge too terrible to name, COM
mitted by these nine fends each in turn,
upon her person. The little girl suffered
the same diabo'ical inaietiou, and for
screaming was by the feet and her
brains dashedoasagainst the mantelpisce,
her tongue first hasing been pulled by
fi,sroots The next victim was the lit
tie boy; q nameless act WIS committed
on him, and Afterwards he was beaten
to death! The house was then fred to
cover their crimes, when the fends fed.
The aiarm by this time had been raised,
and the Rre extinguished. -.
