eB" Andrew Hay, four years old, resi-
ding in Brooklyn, was shot through the
head OH the 18th inst, by his brother
Charles, a boy seven years old. Mr.. Hay,
their father, was in the habit of keeping a
loaded musket in the room, and when the
boys got up that morning they began play
ing with it. Charles not realizing the fact
that it was loaded, pulled the trigger, and
it went off, the ball entering the back of
his brothers head, killing him almost in
stantly.
Us" A boy named George McDonegan,
three and half years old, about nine
o'clock on Wednesday morning was abduc-
ted from his home, No. 2513 Callawhill
street. Philadelphia by an unknown man
who was last seen leaving a car at Third
and Arch streets with the child in his Gus
tody. The man is described as five feet
seven inches high, light complexion, with
sandy moustache and imperial.
Sdg- A very novel case of wife-selling oc-
CURED a short time since, at Painesville,
Ohio. Two men, named Miller and Greg
ory, met in saloon. One had silver
watch, and the other q handsome wife.
Miller cast longing eyes on the watch, and
Gregory ditto on the wife. They agreed
to exchange, and left the saloon shortly
afterward, all three apparently well pleased
with the bargain.
NF5~ In New Orleans, day OF two since
an unfortunate Italian died Of yellow fever
in the vicinity of the French market, while
his wife was lying i'll of the same disease in
another bed in the same room. The body
was taken out, and q health officer calling
in directed that the mattress should be
burned. The woman begged the men pite-
Ously to permit it to remain, and upon eX-
animation the mattress was found to con-
tain $3.50 in gold.
An Old se.-Among the oldest bust
ness houses of Philadelphia is the dry-goods
establishment of Bancroft d Co. The re-
cent death Of the senior member Of the firm
Stacy B. Bancroft, necessitated change
among the partners, but the old name is
still retained. The present members of the
firm are Jacob Y Fine, Samuel X. Keille,
George Lee & VIM. M. Runk, all energetic
hard working men who have infused new
life into the house. Increase of business
has compelled them to add greater facilities,
and the establishment is now one of the
largest in the City, occupying the two large
5 story buildings Nos. 405 81 407 Market St.,
extending with an l. around to 4th street.
The old customers of Messrs Bancroft &
Co., who know the strict entegrity of the
firm and their ability and willingness to
| give their customers bargains are not sur
prised at their large and rapidly increasing
business, and to all who have not already
dealt with them, we do not hesitate to say
eff you wish to find q large stock of dry
goods and pleasant men to buy from, don't
fail to call on Bancroft & Co., 405 81 407
Market Streets"

Bay" A very singular trial for WIFE
murder has just concluded at Wayne
County, Mo- 1t was shown that the de-
ceased woman had suffered most unheard
of torture at the hands of the prisoner !;
that he had been in the habit of beating
her with hickory sticks, and he used to
compel her to do field-work while in Il
way to become mother; but, notwith-
standing all the evidence of cruelty, the
jury could not be convinced that there
had been murder, and acquitted the
prisoner.

government money. Speer seems to have

about one-third the amount he is charged

The Advent OF Peace.

The conclusion OF an armistice between
Germany and France, announced In our
foreign dispatches, is equivalent, in all pro-
bability, to the. speedy conclusion OF the
bloody war which has whelmed in ruin one
of the fairest lands in Europe.
Apart from any feeling of sympathy with
victorious Germany or defeated France, the
Southern people may we'll congratulate
themselves upon the closing of the Titanic
struggle which has inflicted 30 heavy loss
upon the planters and merchants OF the
South. All our interests, as an agricultural
people, are on the side of peace. Wars and
rumors OF wars, whether at home or abroad,
change the course Of trade cut off our mar
kets, and turn into other channels the active
capital which pays for the cotton, the rice
and the sugar, upon whose profitable sale
our prosperity depends. Especially is this
the case with cotton-the one great staple
which makes or mars our fortunes. A long
continued war closes the mills, checks heal
thy consumption, and, as the staple is pressed
on the market, forces down the selling price.
This has been the experience OF the Southern
planter during the past three months. And
the rise in price which now cheers the hearts
of both factor and planter is solely due to
the tidings OF great joy-the expected coming
OF peace.
Letus hope, then, that lasting and dur
able peace between France and Germany may
speedily be accomplished, and while the
victors carry out their grand idea of German
unity, and poor France repairs her Losses,
these Southern States, unless delayed, as
in South Carolina, by domestic troubles,
may pursue unchecked the road which leads
to security and wealth. -

According TO these returns. which are
taken from the official statements the ma
jority Of Governor Scott in the counties emu
merated, is 25, 5,059.i To this must be added
the following majoritiesA claimed by the
Scott party: Lancaster 232, Clarendon 772,
Beaufort50OO !, Barnwen 1868, Laurens 1000,
and York 500, making in all sl67. De-
Quoting from this the Reform majority in
Chesterfield, it is moderate estimate to say
that Governor Scott is reelected by 81, 600
majority. AS a set-of. the Reformers have
elected three Representatives in Anderson,
four in Greenville, three in Horny, two II
Lexington, four in Marion, two in Oconee'
two in Pickens, four In Spartanburg, and
Two in Chesterfield, twenty-si1 in all; and
have Reform Senators in Anderson, Chester

Horny, Oconee, Pickens, and spartanburs.
9, The vote is the largest ever cast in the
State, and the Reform vote runs several
Thousand ahead of the Democratic, vote in
1858. We defer, until the completion
of the official returns, all analysis OF
the vote, but we may call attention to
the fact that the election in Beaufort is pro-
tested by the Bowenites, in spartapburg by
the Scott Radicals, andi Union, Newberry,
Eaurens, Fairfield and other counties, We
believe, by the Reiormers. These protests,
if sustained, will change very materially the
practical result Of the elections.

The Issues Of To-Day.

The ingeniously contriyed frauds OF the
Radical party, which have defeated the Re-
form candidates in counties where fair
election would tell widely different tale, do
not, it must be confessed, account satisfac-
torily for the reelection OF Governor Scott
by a majority Of thirty or thirty-fve thousand
votes Striking from the Radical vote every
ballot which is believed to have been i'm
properly cast or wrongly counted, there
mainder is still sufficient to elect the Radical
ticket. This wholly unexpected result can
only be explained upon the hypothesis that
the Reform movement, while 1t held the
whites together, has utterly failed in its en-
deavor to obtain the political support Of the
colored people Of the State. The negroes
were assured Of their bodily freedom. Their
every civil and political right was recognized
and guaranteed. They received practical
evidences of the sincerity and candor Of the
whites They have, nevertheless, spurned
the olive branch which was extended to
them, ana The chasm dividing the two races
is at least as broad aud as deep to-day as it
was two years ago. Nothing was left undOne
which could, with proprlety, be done. Every
resource of argument and persuasion was
exhausted. Neither patience nor persever-
ance was wanting. Yet the colored people

the ruin of the State. Only few months
ago it was believed that the blacks had clupg
to RadicalisR because nothing better and
purer Was laid before them. The Reformers,
accordingly, organized their party upon the
broad platform of accomplished facts and
civil and political equality. 1t was evident
that the negroes had nothing to fear from
the success OF the Reformers; unless, indeed,
it Is their idea that corrupt and ignorant,
government favors the poor and oppresses
the rich alone. All the conciliatory mea-
sures which zeal and disinterestedness could
devise, were faithfully tried. And, at the
end of it, the colored race ore as
hostile to the white race as they
we're when absolutely nothing Was done to
'allay their alarm. and to win their conf
dence and trust. It is evident that the

The prineiplesexpressed i15the Reform, plat
iorm because Sec those II principles arejdss and
tr,s, and right. But they will not fswn upon
and aatter the negro; and, while they recog-

the disorganization and destruction OF
society.
The eforts7of. the Radicals to convince
the freedmen that all white men, who are not
Radical politicians, are the enemies OF their
race, have done the work very thoroughly.
Il IS hard. to find negro who does not re-
gard the whites as the authors OF all his
troubles, and who does not dream OF gene
raj sharing out of horses and lands, imple-
mepts and stock. The colored majority, in
the Legislature and out Of 1t, have more
power than they ever had before. That
power they will use remorselessly IN re-
dressing their fancied wrongs; in healing as
they phrase it, ;the wounds of slavery;
Where they cried for political equality they
now demand the absolute supremacy OF the
negro race. They move quickly, and moth.
ing less than thorough organization on the
part Of the whites gives any hope Of saving
South Carolina from the fearful evils which
threaten her. It is for this reason, among
many others, that we hope to see the con-
ference In Columbia attended by the most
able and influential of the white citizens OF
the State.
