The VENERABLE DIR. WINsMITH, OF s.
CAROLINA KILLED BY KU-KLUx Dis
guised men visited DR.. Winsmith, at Glen
Springs, in Spartanburg county, on Thurs
day night, and shot the doctor six times,
MORALLY wouuding him. He is supposed
by this time to be dead. He was many
years State Senator before the war, is about
seventy years old, and moderate Repub-
lican. He held no office.
The editor of the Washington Chronicle,
who knew DR.. Winsmith personally,
speaks highly of his goodness and noble
traits of character. He was not politi-
clan, did not take an active part in public
affairs, but in sentiment was moderate
Republican.

Col. THOMAS A. SCOTT, who was lately
elected President of the Union Pacific
Railway company, and who is first Vice
President of the great Pen nsylvania Rail-
way company, has been reelected Presi-
dent of the Pittsburg, Cincinnati and st
Louis (Pan Handle) railroad. The names
of these roads by no means indicate the
{ ull extent of Colonel SCOTS railway con-
nections and labors, which extend through
out Pennsylvania, down into Virginia, and
all the way to New Orleans. If the Penn
sylvauia company perfect the pending
negotiations in reference to the New Jersey
roads, Colonel SCOTS responsibilities will
be still farther increased. But, without
this addition, he has more railroad on the
brain than any other man in the United
States, and carries it all with the greatest
ease, managing his manifold duties with
out confusion and with mastery ability.

THE Dead Letter Office is one of the
most curiously interesting branches of the
government, and the cause of it, or the ne
cessity of such an institution, is mystery.
It is impossible almost to conceive of the
carelessness, stupidity and ignorance by
which more than fourteen millions of let
tiers were entrusted to the postoffice in a
single year, for which no designation could
be found, in consequence of inaccuracies.

$3,o00,000 more. q This property was

IT the statemen attributed to Secretary
Boutwell, be correct, the five per cent. loan
will prove a most decided success. He
affirms that 1t will all be taken abroad, but
that be has reserved portion for Ameri-
can customers. This funding movement,
if successfully carried into effect, will have
a very important influence, not only upon
the national debt, but also on the indus
tries of the country. 1t will relieve us Of
about thirty million dollars annual taxa
ton, even should the principal be liquida
ted at the present rate of one hundred mil
lion dollars year. This will prove an
important relief to the country. We hope
that all the views of the secretary in re-
gard to the funding of the debt, may be
fully realized.
