INFANTIClDE IN INDIA.-Fery stern measures
have been and are being taken in the north
western provinces of India for the suppression
OF lntanticide. From the reports made to the
lieutenant governor of those provinces, and
winch have Just been published, it appears that
regular village visitation was instituted and
evidence taken as TO the proportion of boys to
girls, and some other necessary facts. One mag
lstrate reports having visited nmety-nine vii
lagos, inhabited by clan whose head is the
haJah OF Amorha. Eighty-sx of the villages
were suspected In seven villages, Inhabited
by one caste, there were 104 bows and only one
girl, and that girl had probably been saved by
being brought up in her mothers family. alto
gether away from her father The Baboos of
Asogpoor had twenty boys and "no Girl has
ever been married from among them" In ten
villages of another caste there was not one girl.
and in other ten, marriage of girl is an un,
known ceremony" Nearly all the families of
the Baboos and kOOurs practice the crime with
exception of the koours Of Luckmunpore, who
had twenty boys and twenty-one girls-a most
honorable exception where murder is the ruling
social law. In one village in Odeypore
venerable pundt says, 81 have lived near this
place, man and boy, close on eighty years, and
never saw a marriage in it," In some districts
there has been a considerable improvement.
lhe lieutenant governor, in referring 10 the
Agra district said: On 1910 only three female
infants among the guilty clans survived their

and though disposed to enlarge his freedom when

The substitution of slate for lockwood in en-
craving has been lately found to be both eco.
nomica and efficient for the desired purpose
1t is stated that while blocks of slate are easily
cut, they will wear as well as eectrotypes, and
furnish over one hundred thousand sharp i'm
pressions without loss OF detail. The plates are
not affected by oil or water, do not vary with
temperature, and never become warped, which
is the grand fault with lockwood under certain
conditions.

Jane waited for her husband, in
the cold and cheerless room, which
for a few days longer she might
call her home.
"Do you think father will bring
some bread ?' said little Jimmy, as
he nestled in her lap.
Il hope so, darling," she said
but her heart misgave her She
feared it was a delusive hope.
An hour past-thcre was a step

Eyes, it was he." "The door

"I1ave you got some bread, IA

"Yes, Jimmy, some bread and
meat, from a restaurant, and here's
a little tea and sugar. There's a

WHAT THEY SAY IN UNION.
CERNED.

The following letter is printed
in Wednesdays edition Of the New
York Sun:
To the Elitor Of the Sun:
SIR-The letter addressed to
The Charleston News BY Governor
Scott in refutatioh of the exposed
plo: Of assassination brought
against his administration has
been carefully read by me, in con
junction with other comments that
have appeared since its publication.
In this letter , rciterate the allie
cations n,a,|+ by me, and dcc!sre
their trutht'ulncSs in every par
ticular. The allegations ofassassi-
nation relate principally to Gen
eraI Scott and Senator Crews, al
though the plot was known, as |
truly believe, to Mr.. UaSne, the
Governors private secretary, as
he, in my hearing, promulgated
the safest way to proceed while
relating his own experience at
Union during the late gubernato-
rial election. The seriousness of
the allegations will not permit the
mantle Of silence to be thrown
over them. Silence will not rcfute
the charges, although Senator
Crews once said that he would
take no notice Of any newspaper
publication. The Governors let
ter to his organ obviously shows
that a contiltation was deemed
necessary. Not only were the po-
iilical interests Of the parties i'm.
plicatcd a. stake, but the moral
characters Of the accused were
also involved; therefore, it be.
comes necessary for the Cover,
nol's organ to decry the state.
mcnts which have been published
which it has attempted to do by g
mild use of Billingsgate and q
poetic pcroralion. The allegations
that have been brought forward
are Of such mature that the people
will naturally disagree concerning
them but before any court Of in,
quiry each and every specification
can be proved beyond doubt OF
cavil and if the means Of dis.
proving the statements arc at the
Governors disposal: as he repre-
scnts, why was he SO dcsirous that
the allegations should not be pub
lished.
Mr.. C. c.. Puffcr, who is the Fl
nancial head Of the Mining Com
pany, comes forward with 4 state
ment 10 co"roborate the Governors
letter in which he says that he
was present 1T the interview that
took place bctwecn the buyer and
the bought. That is an untruth
on Mr.. Puffer's part; for be wei
knows that he was not IN Columbia
while the negotiation was being
consummated. Mr.. Puffer theE
states that he did not know Of the
arrangements that were made by
his partner, Colonel Baker, viii
Colonel Kerrigan. In that state
mcnt there is nothing surprising
for Colonel Baker made no ar
rangements whatsoever. The en-
tire arrangement Of The expedition
was made by Chief Constable
Hubbard, under instructions fron
the Governor. By the admins
tration the men were commits
stoned, armed and paid, save th'
hotel bills, which were paid b,
Chief Hubbard. It's scessar,

On January 10Th the Sun pub.
Iished a letter from Mr.. Samuel
Hoggctt, of No. 1913 Madison
street, in this city. Mr.. HogSett
alleged that an agent Of Governor
Scott, Of South Carolina, came TO
this city some three months since
and engaged twenty-five men to
90 to South Carolina to serve as
deputy State constables. The
chief Of this party was Colonel
James f. Kerrigan. They went
to Columbia and were duly COM
missioned, and armed with Win
chester rifles. They found that
Governor Scott ard his intimate
friends thought themselves in
constant danger Of assassination
by the bullets Of the ku kiuX !;
and they were informed that their
particular duty was to defend
them and kill their encmics.-
Some of the leaders Of the ku
Klux were pointed out 10 them.
Tney were promised that if these
leaders were killed, the killers
should receive ten thousand dol
lars for each man killed, and be
protected by the State suthori-
ties.
Yesterday the Sun printed Gov
ernor Scott's answer to similar al
Legations made by the Hon:James
E. Kcrrigan, and published i the
Charleston Ne1os.. Governor Scott
denies the statements, and his de-
nial is backed up by letters from

The Unionviile Times prints the
following article on the subject Of
the assassination plot
1t will be remembered by our
readers that we stated some weeks
ago, that we thought it q very
suspicious circumstance that just
before Baker got up his lying tale
about being shot by certain par
ties, he was in correspondence
with Crews. We then supposed
there was some deviltry or foot
by these men, but We had no
idea they had become so COM
plctely lost to all sense Of dcccncy
as to hire men IN New YorL; to
come to South Carolina aU;i mu:.
der many Of our best citizens
But there is no doubt now on our
mind that such was the Intention
Of Crews and Baker, for there are
circumstances and matters stated.
