THE PRESBYTERIAN REUMoN.-The New York
Sun notes the fact that the Old School and the
New School Presbyterian General Assemblies
have both agreed 10 accept the plan Of reunion
which has been under discussion in those
bodies, and to submit it to the approval Of the
Presbyteries throughout the United States.
The editor says:
There is but little doubt that this approval
will be almost unanimously given, as the great
mass Of the denomination are in favor Of heal
ing the existing breach between it's two prin-
cipal divisions. Whether the smaller bodies,
such as the Reformed and the United Presby-
terians, viii also consent in this movement, is
less certain but even if they should decline to
do 80, the consolidation which will be effected
will sill be of immense Importance, and highly
gratifying to all lovers Of peace and concord
among Christian bretaren.

thus created can possibly be filed by per-
sons possessing the necessary qualiica-
tions, including the ability to take the
present test oath. In the judiciary de-
partment to dispense with. the test oath,
even, would probably be insufficient, for
nearly all lawyers of sufficient experience TO
fit them for the bench held some Office before
the war, and hence are disqualified by the con-
stitutionaI amendment. ! have already ap-
pointed in Virginia nearly five hundred officers,
and would have appointed more if qualified
persons could be found. It is important to
observe that the large majority of city, town
and,county officers receive little or no compen-
sation for their services. Hence, men who
possess the necessary qualifications cannot be
induced to accept such Offices, except in the
places where they reside and own property, or
have some substantial interests. Reports have
been received from several portions Of the State
that no persons can be found even to fill vacan-
cies that now exists. When the constitutional
amendment takes effect, a large number OF i'm
portant Offices must become vacant and remain
SO until restoration is completed, unless relief
is afforded by Congress.

REMAINS OF TIE LATE STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS =
REMARKABLE PREsEnvATIoN.-The remains Of
the late Stephen A. Douglas were removed from
the grave at Chicago, on Wednesday, to their
final resting place in the mausoleum, under the
auspices OF the trustees of the Douglas Monu-
ment Association, accompanied by son Of Mr.:
Douglas and others. Upon removing the lid
covering the glass, the face of the ilustrious
senator was found 10 be in remarkable state
Of preservation, almost as natural as when
buried seven years ago, excepting that the eyes
are more sunken, the nose more contracted,
and the surface Of the forehead somewhat in
dented or pitted; but the complexion is very
fair, the contour Of the head and face apparent
ly unchanged, and the expression was quite
natural and plainly recognizable. The hair
looks as black and glossy as ever, and the raj
ment as new and tidy as when first put on, net
presenting the least evidence Of mildew or dis
coloration.

CAPE FEAR FIBRE ConpANY.-Several enter
prising Virginians and few others having
purchased the Dudley mill property in Will
r1ington, North Carolina, for the sum Of $780,
900, are actively preparing for the establish
ment of works for the manufacture of paper
stock from our native cane Or reed, under the
above name. The Wilmington Journal says:
The machinery requisite for present wants
has arrived and is now being landed from
schooner at the wharf of the company. 1t is
calculated that this machinery will enable
them to "blow out" about fifty tons OF the
paper stock per day. This company is con-
nected with mandatory OF paper in Brook
lyn, New York, and will for the present mere
ly serve as an auxiliary thereto, simply manu-
will give employment to about one hundred
and fifty to two hundred laborers, thus greatly
increasing the chances OF support for many
needy men in our city. The company has
been regularly chartered. The principal
stockholders are Col. A. B. JoEes, Dr. J.. 2.
Hale and Mr.. I. N. Smith, all OF Virginia.
Col. Jones is now In the city experimenting
will occupy some six or eight weeks before
completed. This work will undoubtedly
prove an advantage to the city, and will serve
to bring to it business and trade heretofore
unknown. The present object is, the manu-
facture of paper stock from the cane or reed.
The mode of treating the cane is as follows:
"Tightly compressed bundles Of it are p in
the steam-cylinders or guns and then subject
ed to the action Of steam, at pressure of
about one hundred and seventy pounds to the
inch, for about ten minutes. The gums aud
gutinous matters which hold the fibres togeth-
>er are thereby dissolved, or softened; and
Whilst in that state the cane is blown into the
ails, BY the force Of the steam in the gun, and
the &bres are separated by the expansion Of
the steam amongst them." The fbres IRE
shot against large target with considerable
force, and the discharge resemb es that Of
artillery. A battery OF ten steam guns of the
smaller size; twenty-four feet long aud twelve
inches in diameter, will yield over fifty tons OF
blown cane per day. To supply steam for the
ten guns for twenty-fo hours. less than ten
tons of coal is required. No delicate machine
ry is required, nor skilled workmen. The
company propose in the course of time manu-
featuring box board, which article they can
place in market al ten dollars less per ton than
manufacturers who use straw can sell it. Buy.
ers, through their own interest, will be forced
to this market, thus giving to the place a
trade heretofore unknown. The paper made
frcm the fibres OF the cane is coming general
" into use and has achieved d worldwide repn-
tation. The cane in this sectiop is inexhaus-
tlble

The crop accounts from all sections OF
Barnwell District are favorable.
MIR. James NJ. Johnson and Mrs. Jordan
Bennett, both Of Chester, died suddenly last
week.
The wheat crop throughout Lancaster Dis
trict promises an abundant yield. Some little
rust is perceivable, but principally confined 10

The wheat crop in Chester will not be 80

The Columbia Phoenix, Of yesterday, gives
an account Of a negro riot which occurred on
Friday night, originating in @ political demon
stration in honor of the triumph of the Radi-
cal ticket in Richland. The row was finally
squelched by q detachment of United States
soldiers. Twenty of the ringleaders we're ar
rested, and one negro was shot in the arm by q
soldier.

man was killed almost instantly on Thursday
moruing last, in the neighborhood of BarA-
we'll G. H., by the accidental discharge OF a
rifle. It had been laid on table in the back
piazza, by another colored man, somewhere
near water shelf, and as he was setting down
pail Of water, it is supposed, it scraped the
trigger, thereby causing its discharge. The
ball struck Peter, who was passing at the time,
just below the eye, and he fell and Immediately
expired.
The Barnwell Sentinel says: On Tuesday
last very serious difficulty occurred in this vii
lage at the jury room, where the votes we're
being poIed, between W. j. Nixon and a. v.
Eayes our present clerk Of court. Several
young men and boys were in the room, and, in
turning or moving about, some one Of them
tread on little dog belonging to Edwin Mix
on. the son of W. j. Nixon. Edwin cursed one
of the party, young Harley, who he supposed
did it, and threatened to whip him. A general
fight ensued, in which several Of the boys en-
gagged; one Of them was knocked down by Mix
on's son, and Eayes, in attempting to part
them, got into difficulty with the father. He
was struck first, we learn, and, having but one
arm, determined if possible to defend himself.
He dealt Nixon severe blow on the head, and
while engagedin this struggle, some one Of the
party who had pistol fired on NJ, the ball en-
tering his side, glancing down rib, and, it is
supposed, lodging in his stomach. Although
suffering severely, hopes are entertained OF bis
recovery. There are all sorts Of exaggerated
rumors afoat il regard to this difficulty. No
one seems to know who shot Nixon.

PoLITIcs IN THE STATE.

Democratic clubs have been formed at High
Pleasant, in Laurens District; at Easterlin's
Mill and Zeigler's Poll, in Orangeburg District;
at Buffalo and Wylie's Store, in York District.
at meeting Of the Democratic Club Of Sum-
ter District, held on the 1st, Colonel Blanding
offered resolutions declaring it inexpedient to
send delegates to the convention to be held in
Columbia this day. These were referred, and
the committee reported resolutions condemn
ing the course OF the April Convention in rela-
ton to negro suffrage, and appointing delegates
to the convention proposed by Charleston.
The meeting was addressed by Messrs. A. A.
Gilbert, DIR. NJ. Reynolds, Rev. T. R. English,
W. F. B. Haynsworth, and DR.. b. D. Green, in
support Of the resolutions of the committee;
and by Hon. J. N. Frierson, Col. j. D. Bland
ing and Captain E. W. Noise, against said re-
port.
The resolutions reported by the committee
were then adopted, and the following delegates
appointed: James D. Blanding, Atamont
Moses, John N. Frierson, DR.. NJ. Reynolds, E.
W. Noise, DR.. Henry D. Green, DR.. Joseph NJ.
Sanders, Il. E. L. PEBBLES, A. A. Gilbert, W. E.
Mills.
The Democratic club Of Laurens District be-
heve it impoltic and too late to disturb the ex-
listing State organization Of the Democratic
party, and the district will not be represented
in the convention of to-day.
The Columbia Phoenix, in an article upon
s'The Second Convention" says:
It appears that the Districts Of Williams
burg, Orangeburg and Edgefeld rather favor
the movement suggested in Charleston, and
we suppose that they do 80 on the ground
that they are not prepared to oncede quail
fed suffrage to the colored man. We have
reason, however, to doubt whether public
sentiment would sustain the move against the
ac ion of the April conventional least, in
Charleston and Edgefeld. We have reason to
declsre that in both Of these districts there is
a strong element that favors the moderate
policy Of the said April convention and we
suggest that the assembling together Of two
hundred or three hu ,dred men in Charleston
and Edgefieid can hardly be regarded as COM
mitting those districts against the movement
which Hampton approves, and which so many
good and true statesmen in the State have
adopted.
