MIR. EDITOR: I have been travelling
extensively in Laurens within q week.
Went there the day after the Govern
ment troops arrived, and returned to
Abbeville several days after they left.
l was at Laurens Court House on two
successive days, and h,ving heard that
''Iin Pot" was literally riddled by the
rebels, by firing upon the 10 CREwIrEs
contained III it, examined that fortress
closely, and could not find whore soli
tary ball had entered that ariUJe relic of
Toryism. I understand, Mr.. Editor. by
quite number of reliable citizens. that
the officer in command of the troops
referred to had learned, and really ex
pected to find at least 1000 armed rebels
ready to meet him at his coming; but on
his arrival, finding nothing but peace,
quiet and good order, he was perfecAy
indignant at the slanderous lies that had
been perpetrated by 10 Crews and his
myrmidons, upon peaceful, law-abi-
ding community. That officer, with his
troops, left. and have no doubt but
his visit to Laurens will prove eminently
useful to the cause of good order and
pure Democracy.

MR. EDIToRs We see that Mr.. Levy
has '.intkoduced abiil to authorize the
Attorney General to purchase for the
State manuscript compilation of the
penal statutes of the State, prepared by
u. b. Seabrook, of the Charleston Bar. F"
Now, Notwithstanding the gorgeous
display of carpets, chandeliers, cornices,
curtains and costly ornaments ut the
State House, South Carolina is q small
and poor State; and we think reasonable
economy ought to be practiced; and
make the following suggestions: The At
torney- General is by the Constitution
relieved of the duties of Solicitor of the
Charleston Circuit, and ought to have
time to make the compilation himself.
and without charge. The penal statutes
are all printed, and we are told by n
lawyer that all are indexed up to 1889.
and that On index of the later statutes
can be made on two pages Of foolscap.
Again. 1t has been the practice of all
Solicitors to make for their own use
compilation of all the penal statutes and
OF the criminal law; and the Attorney
copy from his relative. Mr.. Chamberlain,
the Solicitor of the Charleston Circuit.
Again. We have been informed that
the Acknowledgement has law partner
IN Charleston, by the name of Soabrook,
and he might obtain for the Attorney
General. without charge from his rela-
tive. p. B. Seabrook, q copy of tho
latter's valuable compilation.
Again. There is q Commission. we'll
paid. constituted for the very purpose of
making suoh compilations, of which
Commission Mr.. Whipper is Chairman,
and as by Section %, Article 2 of the
Constitution, Mr. Whipper is declared
not ''eligibla TO seat il the General AS
sembly whilst he holds" this "otice of
proHr under the State, he must now
have leisure to perform this duty for
which he is paid, and make this compi.
iatlon, without further charge to the
state. RETIRED.

MR. EDITOR: Sunday afternoon WAS
an interesting occasion to the officers,
teachers and children of the large and
growing Sabbath School of Marion Street
Church, of this city. The school had as
semblcd, until there was not vacant
seat, to hear the farewell remarks of
their faithful pastor. The interest Of
this touching and long-to-be-remem
ed occasion was increased by the sub
stantial exhibition of affection and cs-
teem, in presentation of o piece of silver,
upon which was engraved "To our be-
loved Pastor, William w. Mood. from
Marion Street Sabbath School,"

IMPORTANT FROM AFRICA.

King George and Prince Charles Of Bonny In
Knglaud-News from tho Seat Of War.
The British and African Steam Navigation CON-
pany's steamer Bonny, Commander Lowry, arrived
in the Mersey April IS, after very rapid passage
The Bonny had twenty-four passengers, amongst
whom are King George Of Bonny and his brother
Prince Charles. 4mE mt
Her cargo consisted OF 800 casks OF palm oil and
india rubber, besides other produce, and $4,000 in
specie and gold dust, being one of the largest and
most valuable ever brought to England In vessel
from the west coast Of Africa
The B0nny brings advices as follows:-Od Oalabar,
11th; Fernando Pc, 12th; OpObO 14th; Bonny, 10th;
Benin, 18th; Lagos, 20th; Jellah Coffee 2lst; Accra
22d; Cape Coast Castle, 23d; Cape Palmas, 25th;
Grand Bass, 10Th; Monrovia eth, and Sierra Leone,
10Th Of March.
The war between the Ashantees and the Fantees
BOnny left there sign whatever OF any cessa-
The struggle between ia ia and Oko Jumbo
had not ceased. The former had opened
trade on the Opob0 T1ver, and great quantity OF
oil had been carried down to that place from the
Eb0n market THIS had caused q good deal Of
annoyance to the natives and traders at Bonny who
were much incensed at the manner In which Ja Ja
was dvertng the trade from that place to the Opobo
river.
At New Caabar the oil season had set in, and from
all appearances promised to be q very successful
one. There was no charge In prices.
The general state OF health on the West Coast was
tOleraby good.

The Board OF Aldermen met yesterday OF two
O'Clock, the President Alderman Conan, In tho
chair. The attendance OF sympathzing friends Of
the members was smaller than usual and but little
interest was manifested in the proceedings.

sidered again and rejected amid the merrin,ent Of
the city Solons similar resolution favor of the
Irish People met the same fate.

A CURIOUS PHYSIOLOGICAL PHENOMENON.

Mans Lungs Turned to Soap Stone.
Some ten days since butcher Of Paterson, N. j.,
named Frederick Keenyn, employed at the corner OF
Cross and Congress streets, saw two boys fighting
and ran ont to part them, whereupon man named
Kah0e q shoemaker, came out and struck the
butcher on hts head. On sunday Keenyn was
found dead In his boarding house at IS
Market street. Coroner Butterworth held an
inquest, and It being believed that the blow his
head had caused his death q postmortem examina-
ton was ordered and held by Drs. Blumdell and
Warren. instead Of there being any injury to his
head It was discovered that death had been caused
by disease OF the lungs which were hardened and
presented every appearance OF mass Of soap stone
The surgeons pronounce most extraordinary case
and declare that 1t Ia inc0mprehensble how the man
lived az long as he did. A verdict was accordingly
rendered by the jury IN accordance with the facts
inily exonerating Kahoe from any connection with
Keenyn,e death.

Charles Rfker Of Essex county, who, on a charge
OF breaking and entering, committed to the New

Highly Important News from France-The
Plcbiscitum and the People-Pnris Votes
0No.O
A series of cable kilograms from Europe,
dated in Paris from the evening of yesterday
to an early hour of this morning, bring
news of the very highest importance. They
report the close of the polls in the
French a,lebiscitum and the counting of the
votes. The result is not satisfactory to
Imperialism as exemplified by Bonapartism.
Paris is unfriendly. The great city voted
"No" by 1s2,sSI to 1873, 100. The
say ''Yes," by LOG, 536 to 39,3l0. The house
is divided. Can the edi6ce be safely
.'crowned" under the circumstances? This
is the grand French-the really great Euro
pean-question of the hour. 1t is immediate
and intense. The architect of the Tuileries, the
workman in purple, must reply to it. He
must answer Immediately and decisively. 1t
may be, answer to-day.
It is momentous emergency. Paris
is not only hostile in vote but fevered
in her body corporate. Paris is ex-
cited. The democrats, the radicals the
s'reds," have not labored in vain
Crowds of people demand to know the result.
They surge from the polling places to the
Tuileries. The soldiers, who voted in their
barracks during the day, ara under arms
In and around the royal palace and
at other convenient points of opera
tions. They may be commanded to
reverse their own votes at the point Of the
bayonet; to "shoot, if commanded, their loving
brothers of the ballot box. They may do
30 should the order be given. They may
refuse should they deem it more prudent,
more useful to their country and to their fami-
lies, to their fellow men. Such is the situation
az 1t remained in France at daybreak.

its own affairs-the great revolution working

Is The EAST SIDE AND WEST SIDE.-H
appears that the east side and west side of the
city up town are in favor of the Broadway
Arcade. OF course they are; for will not the
destruction Of Broadway transfer its business
to the east side or the west side? But would
not the burning down in single night of all
the buildings on Broadway effect the same
object, and at smaller loss in the long run
to the property holders directly concerned
than this destructive Arcade?

Our Special Letters from EurOpe-A Grea
Scare i'm London.

Our special Letters from EurOpe-A Great
Scare in London.
Our special writer's in England and Ireland
supply communications of much interest in our
columns to-day. The letters are dated to the
oath of April. Their contents exhibit the con-
tinued existence of that national intermittent
and exhaustive fever which is gradually con-
saming the strength of Great Britain, rendering
the policy of England fitful-hectic as it were
and directing her eyes cleaning at dangers
which appear to exist only in the imagination
of her own people. Our special writer in Lon
don details the history Of the great Fenian
SCARE" which prevailed in that city some
short time since, which was briefly and rather i'm
perfectly described by the cable at the moment,
on account of the allegation Of a cunning
attempt on the part Of the Irish ''reds"
to ''blow up" the newspaper building
of the leading London Journal as also the
place of publication of one of the more juvenile
lights of the English press. 1t was, as will be
seen, ''scare," a ssrale Irish blow up" with
out gunpowder, or drills. or fuse. London
was alarmed, however. Scotland Yard
was as busy as if the spirit of Fouche
himself had inspired the police, who
are quartered there, and Horse Guards
stood at attention" and ready for action in
any direction as commanded. The great
'sscare" ended without smoke, however. The
smallest London journal had first rate
notice, by being temporarily tackled on to
the coat tails of the great one during fancied
danger, thus realizing the fine philosophic
idea expressed by Dundreary in the words,
eff the dog didn't waggle his tail the tail
would waggle the dog" City excite
ments Of this class and order are dangerous
however, dangerous by their very inception,
dangerous in effect and demoralizing in the
consequences. They do not bear repetition.
If England is really frightened from such
causes the national constitution must be dis
eased to a very considerable extent, and If
this be so the sooner the cause of such disease
is removed the better, both for the crown and
the people.
The news of the recent murders in Greece
produced very deep excitement in London
sort of counter irritant against the local
inflammation. Ireland remained in process of
coercion under the Gladstone bill. This pro-
cess necessitates spies, informers, court trials
and punishment, police, military, general
distrust the fleeing away of emigrants, the
locking up of capital, idleness, pauperism and
the poor house. The people Of the Green
Isle have all this to-day just as they have had
from the landing Of Strongbow, with the excep-
ton Of the police aud the informers-the men
''who steep the holy Evangelists in blood
which are modern institutions. Our special
correspondence from Europe is thus, at all
points, attractive and useful.
