ArRocroUs MuRpER On Satar-
day last, two ifoffensive colored
men. Conservative in their politics,
came to Orangeburg with q wagon.
from the lower part of ST. MATTHEWS,
sold their cotton, and started on their
return home that evening. with the
proceeds, partly invested in supplies,
In their wagon. Arrived neaf -Four
Holes Bridge, thes camped near the
roadside, and after building large
fire, went to sleep. In the night one
OF them, Stephen Ladsden, was
awakened by the report of q gun,
and sharp shock, and saw some
one making off through the bushes.
He went to his companion, Frank
Thompson, and found that he had
been shot in the head, and was dead.
Stephen also was wounded in the
arm.
No clue has been discovered to the
perpetrators of this barbarous crime.
It is supposed that the party or par
ties who committed the deed, having
killed but one of their intended vic.
tins, fled upon seeing the other rise
up, (Which he did, shouting as he
rose) in order to escape detection.

A FEARFUL STORY OF CRIME AND
DEPRAvTTY.-George Tinsley alias
Wash. Stewart, of Walker County,
Texas, has confessed that he murder
ed, on the night of the 18th ultimo,
at Calhoun's Ferry, Charles Hall,
ferryman; his wife, stranger named
Murry, and little girl, sister to Mr..
Halls wife. He says:
I first murdered Charles Hall.
while going from the cow-pen to the
ferry, halfway down the bank of the
river, with large hickory stick.
His wife. attracted by the noise, ran
to his assistance, and she met the
same fate as her husband. 1 then
dragged both bodies into the river
and started up the bank toward the
house, and was met by stranger,
who asked me if Mr.. Hall was at
home, and if he could get some
water. L drew for him the water,
and while he was drinking struck
him on the head with the same stick.
[ then went into the house, and the
little girl asked me where her sister
and Mr.. Hall, the ferryman, were.
told her they were at the ferry, and
while she was going in that direction,
at the corner of the stable l also
struck her with the same stick, and
she fell dead. then threw the stick
under the house, returned to where
L killed the stranger, threw him into
the well, carried the little girl over,
and threw her I'm also.
then robbed the house of every
thing worth carrying away-money,
tobacco, bed-clothing, &C.; then sad
died up Halls horse. tied on the to-
bacco, bedding, &C., and started with
both Halls and the strangers horse

distant.

OBITUHRY.

FDied, on the EVENING" OF Reptember s. at
the residences of her. father, Mr.. John
Scott, Mrs. M.ssMATILDAl BATES. wife of
Joseph Bates, Esq, OF Richland District,
Thus has the ruthless hand of the de-
stroyer struck from our midst woman
lovely in. every sphere of life. AS wife,
affectionate and dutiful; as q mother, de-
voted and conscientious: as Christian,
ever steadfast and immovable in her faith
in God, and trusting in His mercy and
compassion to the latest hear os her iife.
Truly it is said "whom the Lord loveth He
chasteneth," and in her death large
family circle, of parents, brothers and sis
ters, have felt the chastening rod.
God in mercy soothe tho crushed and
almost broken heart of her devoted hus-
band, who mournoth almost as ''ono with
out hope" Not without hope in her hap
py future, for her daily life was such that
We who mourn her loss on earth land
must, for awhile, give ourselves up to deep
and heartfelt mourning,) have no doubts
or fears as to her eternal, everlasting hap
piness.
In the bright realms above her happy
spirit is Increasingly employed adoring the
God that made her, and praising the pre-
cious Jesus that soothed her dying pillow
and carried her safely through "the dark
valley and shadow of death"
Although not conscious of her immediate
danger, she would beg her sorrowing
friends not to pray that she might recover,
but that she might have more faith and
patience: Her own prayers were constant
ly poured forth for the same support. She
resigned herself, her husband, and her two
dear little children, into the hands OF her
Saviour, and died having no fears of her
souls eternal happiness.
Leaves have their time to fall,
And flowers to wither ut the North winds
breath;
And stars to set; but all,
Thou hast all seasons for thine own, ohl
death!
Also died, one week after, at Montgome-
~, Ala, Mrs. AMANDA SCOTT, wife of
William G. Scott, deceased. A FRIEND.

Three MINUTES Too Soon. we
take the following from q Philadel-
phia paper, to show how 'close things
are run up there" and of how much
importance even three minutes may
be, not only to man who expects to
be hung, but also to one who desires
to vote, and trust that practical ap-
plication of the moral conveyed by
it may be made by all of our readers,
more especially those who, like the
young man mentioned. need only a
short time to take them out of their
legal infancy:
"a curious and amusing question
is pending at Salisbury, Pennsylva-
mia. Mr.. @. Pusey Thorne, son of
j. Williams Thorne, came of age on
the day of the October election of
this year. The Democrats, anxious
to exclude every Republican ballot,
challenged his vote, upon the ground
that he was not born until 7 o'clock
in the evening. at which time the law
provided that the polls should close.
1t was argued, on behalf of the ap-
plicant, that the law recognized no
fraction of days, and that lie was en-
titled to vote even though he had not
been born until 11.59 P. NJ, on said
day. The Democratic election
officers. however. contended chat he
must be between the ages of twenty
one and twenty-five years, and that
he would not have reached that
period until the hour of z o'clock
had passed. In reply to this. Mr..
Thorne, Sr., asked the officers if they
recognized 365 days and six heurs as
a year. and they replied that they
did. He then showed that six leap
years had occurred in the lifetime of
his son; and further automatically
demonstrated that he had lived twen-
ty-one times 365 days and six hours,
and had eighteen hours to spare.
This rather dumb-founded the Demo
cratic officers, but they still declined
to accept the ballot. At three
minutes before 7 o'clock, the Repub-
lican judge took the ballot and de-
posted it in the box"

THE Next CoNenEss. .-The senat.a

u + y
ATHE NEXT CoNeREss The Senate
! when full, including the Southern
Senators, has 76 members. Ia the
next Senate there will be 20, if Yir-
ginia, Mississippi and Texas remairt
unrepfesented. OF these about four
fifths will be Republicans.
The House of Representatives, con-
sists 243 members when full. De-
Quoting II for the three States above
named, there will be 226 members.
OF these 1913 are from the States that
did not secede and Tennessee. In
the present Congress, of this last
number of 145 are Republicans and
4S are Democrats-three Republicans
to one Democrat. To the next Con-
gress there are said to be elected in
the same States 126 Republicans and
67 Democrats gain on the part of
the Democrats, which gives them
more than Oh third of the members
of the House, and will thus enable
them to sustain the veto. It may
safely be assumed that the Democrats
will elect to tho House, even includ-
ing ten Southern members, one third
of the whole number. The telegram
gives the Democrats rs members-a
gain of 27-in the States aforesaid.

/" MIR. Lee"

We have seen nothing in long time SO
ludicrous rs an article which appeared yes
terday in the Washington National Re
publican. Referring to the correspondence
which recently passed between General
RosECRANs on the one side, and General
LEE and others on the other, the Reput1'-
can, with the gravest countenance lmae'-
nable, announces that it "cannot let the
extremely offensive conduct of these peo-
"ple pass unnoticed, nor can we sune'
their insolence to go unrebuked." BY way
Of smothering one of these people with
its wrath, it calls General LEE nothing but
"Mr. LEE" repeating the words ever and
over again. After making itself ridiculous
throughout a half-column article, the he
publican closes in the following words:
"Now, Mr.. Lee, if you choose to live
quietly at Washington College, we shall not
,respass upon your privacy; but If you pro-
pose to NEEDLE in the public affairs of the
nation at the instance of Rosecrans or any
body else, we shall tell the people who and
what you are"
No language of ours could add to the IN
exprcssible contempt which all respectable
people, North and South, must feel for the
simpleton who penned the article IN ques-
ton. Surely ii must have been one OF the
female clerks in the War Department, and
the silliest of them at that.

There is no such bad luck in store for
the Bostonians and no such good luck fon
Us. The negroes have been for more than
three years perfectly untrammelled. They
could at any time have gone to Boston for
few dollars, to live among their Yankee
friends. But they have not chosen to do
so. They would rather remain amongst
southern men, whom they can trust, and
who do not pretend to regard them or treat
them MS equals. We do not doubt that the
carpet-baggcr who wrote the letter to the
Traveller has already told the negroes that
ii SEYMOUR should be elected they will all
be compelled to go TO Boston for he knows
that if anything in the world would alarm
them, and set them at work to endeavor TO
prevent the election of our candidates, ii
would be the threat that if GRANT was de-
feHted they could hare to re1noue to Boston !

The STAMP CAsE.-The New York Tri-
j,meS Washington correspondent learns
that this case has been decided in favor of
the United States. 1t was tried in the
Chancery Court of Canada, az Toronto.
Certain stamps of the Federal Government
to the amount of $4,000 were captured in
July, 1864, by the Confederate cruiser
Florida. They were sold by the purser OF
the Florida, W. H. TAYLOR, now president
Of national bank in Virginia, about five
months after the surrender of LEE, to one
WOODS, of Liverpool, who bought and paid
for them in good faith, and consigned them
to Toronto for sale, where they were en-
joined by the United States. The suit has
just been decided as above stated.
The correspondent of tho Tribune does
not give any of the grounds upon which
the decision was based. The correspondent
Of the Times says the court decided that
the title of that class Of property is still
vested in the United States.
