SUDDEN DEArH.-We are deeply panied to
record the death of Mr.. JOHN L. HUMPHREYS,
which occurred in Richmond on last Sunday
morning, after brief illness. He was on his
way to Anderson from New York city, where
he has been engaged in business for the last
several years. Mr.. HUMPHREYS was widely
known throughout this and adjoining States.
Before and since the war, his connection with
prominent New York houses caused him to
travel extensively in the South, and wherever
known he was highly esteemed and enjoyed un-
limited confidence as a business man. He serv-
ed with gallantry in the Confederate army, and
as an officer and gentleman received the lasting
regard of those with whom he was associated.
His remains were expected to arrive at this vii
lage ON yesterday evening, and the burial to
take place this afternoon at Roberts Church,
where his respected father, Rev. DAVID Hum
pHREYs, was buried only few months ago.

VERY GooD.lThe Columbia correspondent
of the Daily Republican, in referring to the
visit of the railroad ezcursionists to Anderson,
says that .stheir reception was large and enthu-
siastic,1 and that thousands assembled here at
the depot, and more speeches were delivered" !"
This is very good, considering that it is out of
whole cloth It must have been thousands of
the invisible Ku Klux. No other than Radi-
cal could discover them, and we have yet to
meet with man who listened to the speeches.
What obliquity of vision on the part of our
citizens, not to recognize these thousands
Perhaps it was millions.

Mr The Columbia Guardian relates the fol-
lowing interesting incident: 'sWhen the body
of. CALHOUN was lying in state in Charleston,
one of committee of citizens from his old
District-Col. JOHN T. SLOAN, of this city
took up a:white rose from among the profusion
of flowers that lay upon the bier Of the honor
ed dead. The rose was carefully preserved,
taken to Anderson, and planted. 1t grew and
bloomed. Since then, it has been transplanred
four times, and to-day is blooming in the gar
den of Col. SLOAN, in Columbia.

QUERY.-A correspondent of the Columbia
Phenir, over the signature of ga Native re-
grcts the notice which appeared in our columns
last week concerning the railroad excursionists.
We would be glad to know the exact line or
sentence that has given umbrage, confning the
question to what we said concerning the rail-
road officials? As to the politicians, we can
readily understand that our remarks were not
entirely acceptable; but as the new officers of
the Road were in company with the aforesaid
greedy place-seekers, it was manifestly proper
to speak of both in the same article. We wish
to treat every person "with respect and ciyiity,"
irrespective of "policy or interest" bnt some
men forfeit all claim to either by their own
conduct. Hence, we refer occasionally to GER
tain politicians with SAVIOR of contempt, and
ofttimes ridiculc.
As to the new officers of the Greenville Rail-
road, we are profoundly ignorant in regard to
their education, money and influence, :" and on
more than one occasion have expressed our
want of information concerning them. But we
are willing to prove them by their actions, and
if they are earnestly engaged in promoting the
material prosperity of this sectioA none viii
yield more readily due need of praise than
this journal We shall wait for substantial
facts and progressive indications. As we do
not oppose, but heartily endorse, every influx
of capital and enterprise, these gentlemen can
afford to undergo short probation before we
rush at them with "cordiality." At least, such
is our way of thinking, and we are sorry that
it does not please "a Native"

gg 1t is reported that new schedule will

HILL SToRM-The Lanrensville Herald
gives the following account Of the terrific hail
storm referred to last week: -
On the evening of the 9th inst, various Sec
tions of the District were visited with showers.
In several localities hail, in large quantities,
accompanied the rain, doing the crops and gar
dens serious damage. 1t might be collected in
large quantities for several days, and on Sun
day following had not disappeared. Along the
Newberiy road three miles from this place, and
ON the Union road about the same distance, the
fury,of the storm vas most intense. In these
localities the ground was entirely covered with
the green leaves beaten from the trees
ON the Saturday following, in places where
theswater had washed the stones, wheels of
buggies immersed to the axle in the ice. Cot
ton was so badly injured as to require replant-
ing. Gardens were totally demolished. The
"oldest inhabitantn despairs of witnessing the
like again, and remembers no parallel in the
past.
The GreenvilTe Enterprise also alludes to this
unusual phenomenon:
On last Thursday, a severe hail-storm passed
through a considerable section of this county,
about ten miles northeast of this place. We
are informed by q citizen who resides at the
Gamble Plantation .ha. the hail covered the
around several inches; much of IT was as large
as a partridge egg. 1t was destructive to gar
den vegetables-very injurious'to young fruit
on the trees. Most of the wheat was not suff
ciensly advanced in growth to be very badly
hurt. The width OF the hail storm was about
q half miie.

IMpoRTANT PgoCEEDINGs.- case was COM
menced here Yesterday, says the Columbia
.Paenir of Sunday, which will be of interest to
taxpayers throughout the State. In 1868, the
Legislature authorized the Comptroller General
to endorse bonds of the Blue Ridge Railroad
Company, 70 the extent of $4000,000. Upon
its being ascertained that the Comptroller
Geneal was endorsing the bonds, an injunction.
was eppied for before Judge Melton, to re-
strain the Comptroller from endorsing, and the
Railroad Company from issuing the bonds.
The case is brought by prominent citizens and
tax-payers, and the ground taken is that such
endorsement of bonds is in conflict with the
Constitution of the State. A temporary in
junction has been granted and the hearing Of
the case ordered for Tuesday next. tits stated
General endorsed one million of the bonds; it
isfurther stated. that these bonds were deliver
ed to the agent of the Blue Ridge Railroad,
and were sent off Northward by the O'Clock
train Yesterday IF these things be So, it is
hoped that the Comptroller or His Excelleney
the Governor will use the telegraph and prevent
innocent purchasers from receiving these bonds,
until the grave questions presented to the courts
shall have been disposed of.
The Columbia correspondent of the Charles
ton nesrs referring to these bonds, says:
sButi this endorsement. of the bonds of a
railroad company is to be examined. The Sen
ate, by vote of twenty-five to one, has de
clared that the State is expressly prohibited by
the constitution from endorsing any bonds for
any purpose whatever. The State may ISSUE
issotte bonds, but cannot endorse Others. See
article 9, sections 10 and IA, of the Constitu-
ton; and also the Senate journal, pages 10 and
40. The tenor Of the whole article of the Con-
stitution in question is clearly restrictive of the
right and privilege Of issuing bonds; and our
safest lights of jurisprudence are said to have
expressed the view just given"

The Columbia PhdeniS cannot Appreciate
the wisdom" of the suggestions made by this
journal to secure an infusion of honest and in
corruptible men in the next Legislature. We
can return the compliment in two-fold sense.
We cannot appreciate the wisdom of the course
suggested by those fayoring the nomination OF
candidates for Governor and Lieutenant Gov
ernor by the June Convention, in the face of
the general election law, the organization of
militia, and the immense power and patronage
of the present unscrupulous Executive. Sec
ondly the plan proposed by the Phonir and
its coadjutors has been tried and found want
ing, with a single exception, that it is now
suggested, as a means of taking the wind out
of the sails of onr Radical opponents, to nom-
mate member of that party as the standard
bearer of those claiming to be Democrats.
This is the whole thing in a nutshell. We
cannot place reliance in the plan for an addi-,
tional reason The colored vote is strongly in
favor of the prospective Radical nominee, un-
derstood to be Gov. ScoTT. And while we
would not let him walk "unchallenged over the
field" if we could see probability of defeat
ing him, yet we are convinced that every effort
should be made to put good and true men in
the Legislature, and that this can best be ac-
complished by concentrating the fight upon
men of local reputation rather than aggrega-
ting the contest for the Executive Department.
The latter is bound to overshadow and give
color to the contest in every county, and we are
not hopeful of the result. Hence, we have ex-
pressed our views candidly, if not with the
prudence and circumspection of others.
But the Phanir declares that it never can
and never shall give its assent to the programme
suggested by this journal We beg leave to
say, in this connection that our views are offer
ed in advance of State Convention, and
should such body, rejecting fairly the wishes
and opinions of the majority of our political
associates, determine to nominate State tick
ct, we shall bow submissively to its behest.

thing usually found in miscellaneous stock of
dry goods, groceries, &C., and the employees
are enabled to buy whatever is necessary for
their comfort at reasonable figures. 1t is un-
der the supervision of Mr.. A. N. ALEXANDER,
to whom we are indebted for many courtesies
during our brief visit
1t is the intention of the present company to
re-organize under an Act of the Legislature,
passed December 10th, 1869, regulating the
formation of corporations. Under this act
private property is not liable for the company's
debts, and it is quite likely that the new corpo-
ration will also receive the benefits of the act
exempting manufactures for term of years.
A meeting of the company will be held at an
early day, and we are promised further infos-
nation concerning the plan of organization.
We have given hurried outline of the
present condition of the Pendleton Factory,
and as our people are having their attention
drawn to the subject of manufacturing, and
there are numerous evidences that efforts are
being made to induce capital to take that di-
rection, we think the theme is oppoztune. The
short description of the history and prospects
of this Factory will convince any unprejudiced
mind that energy and enterprise will produce
wonderful results, and it is an interesting fact
that the actual valuation of the property has
increased nearly seventy-fve per cent. in the
last three years. No other investment of a
similar character can make such an exhibit,
and we take pleasure in bringing these figures
to the attention of the public.
