The pleasure Of the excursion from this
city to Oconomowoc, yesterday, was mar
red by most distressing and shocking
accident. AS Mr.. A. Cary, Treasurer Of
the Milwaukee and st. Paul Railway, was
jumping from train while in motion, he
struck the platform and fell back under
the car, which passed over him, crushing
and mangling him so that the body had
to be gathered up in fragments. Deceased
leaves wife and quite large family to
mourn bis untimeiy end, and the railroad
company has lost most efficient and be-
loved officer.

WHIPPING OxEN.-It is cruel and
generally useless act of barbarism to
whip oxen; yet many farmers arc in the
habit of continually keeping the whip
going when teaming. their cattle. In
stead of inviting the animals to exer-
ton by proper words, the first intima-
ton the poor creatures have from their
master that he desires them to start, is
cut of the whip, or a prick from a
goad. This is not only savage, but alb
solutely wicked, and wholly unneces-
sary. Another practice often seen is
that Of pounding and threshing the OK
en- because they don't readily back a
load, when they have not been learned
to back an empty cart down hill. l
have no doubt that the selling value of
many yoke of oxen is deprecated
from S25 to s75, by being abused in
this way. If animals are desired to
work, and when they understand what
is wanted of them they will cheerfully
comply. But there is better way to
communicate your desires than through
the whip. Kindness and skillful man
agement is far better Remember that
a"merciful man is merciful to his beast"

A Western paper says that half the
business of the courts in Illinois seems
to be to satisfy the vengence of women
because they can't get the men to marry
them, and the other half to enable wo-
men to get rid of men who have mar
ried them.

it is believed she hung him for it. A man
who studies the disposition Of his wife for

the best wives have certain weaknesses in
this respect which it would be unfair and
rather uncomfortable to ignore. If they

Such frankness would be almost fatal to
the institution which binds communities

those without. They possess both action

Il COTTON FACTORY FOR DARLING
TON COUNTY.

In another column OF The News will be found
a notice that application will be made for q
charter for cotton fa,tory on Black Creek,
near Doves Depot. 1his is the first effort that
has been made for q cotton factory on that
srcalh, although the idea is not 4 new one.
Alludins to the new project correspondent
writes to the Darlington Democrat over the
signature of Progress" as follows
believe the day is not far in the future,
when Black Creek will have factory OF every
accessible point, as it has many advantages
over many other streams. 1t Is healthy at any
points convenient to sportatlon-runS
through the most attractive section OF country
in the State, and is reliable stream at any
season OF the year, which is Of vast importance
in manulacturing. 1t would be very serious
matter to the stockholders for their mills TO
stand idle, and four or five hundred operatives
waiting for rain. Black Creek would not suffer
this rulnous inconvenience. cotton factory
at the point about to apply for charter would
probably at this time be the most desirable
location, owing to the convenience OF transpor.
tatioD. 1t would not even be at the expense OF
dray. Cars on tho Cheraw and Darlington
Railroad could be loaded and unloaded from
the door. Taking in consideration other
similar advantages, factory at tins point
could compete with any portion OF the world
With capltal and men of energy there would
be no failure. Factories pay at the North, and
here we have the advantage OF climate--length
Of ansportation-rents or very large
capita! invested in the power. The Swing in
light required in large factory at such times
in the year, necessary to work out the ten
hours per day, would be large item. The
fuel to warm large factory, not neces .ary
here, is smother item. 1 will not attempt to
point out another advantage. in manufacturing
our own cotton. We ship our cotton to
Charles on and from there to all parts Of the
world. In Charleston the drayage, wharfage,
commissions. g., rubs off something for tnab
city, New York the same, and the same IN Eu-
rope or any her point on its way TO the fac
tory. For all we consume, we then have to
pay the manufacturers good profit, with all
his taxes attached, in running the gauntlet
back TO us. In addition to all the above, over
again, it has to hslp pay enormous rents-clty
and many other taxes-c!erk hire, profits. &C.,

give stockholders here good profit.

Weaver, a ctizsn OF Texas, tried for murder,
convicted and sentenced to be hung by mill
tary commission, tho Attorney General has
given an opinion, in which he reviews the Re-

ing officers, and says: "As the State Of Texas
hadnpt, in September, 1868. and has not since,
adopted constitution in conformity with the
provisions Of the act Of Congress, and has not
the act was operative 10 Texas at the time the
military commission was organized for the
trial OF Weaver, and the commanding general
exercised the discretion entrusted to him by
the third section, by deciding that it
was necessary that q military commission
should be organized for the trial. II, there
fore, the statute of March 1867, ia consti-
tutional and valid statute. it then appears that
the jurisdiction oil the said military commits
sion was complete. and that there is no legal
-obstacle to the execution OF the sentence. J"
The Attorney General maintains that the right
of war di not necessarily terminate with the
cessation of active and actual hostilites. and
not until the work Of restoring the relations
OF peace shall have been accomplished, can 1t
be 80 considered. It is for Congress to deter

work can be safely and successfully completed.

for Withholding the Presidents approval of the
findings" Durlrg bis argument, the Attorney
Genstal said : 1T is obvious that Congress,
