*Hunting the Rocky Mountain sheep is
the only sport that approximates to any
thing like the famous channels hunting of
olden times The flesh of these sheep is
good, but they are exceedingly difficult to
kill. When pursued by the hunter, or
wounded, they will frequently throw them
selves over precipices fifty feet high, and
light oil their horns, apparently without
hurting themselves in the least.
Mr.. Belden gives, in the above sketch,
a perfectly natural and correct account of
a rocky Mountain sheep hunt.

SOUTH CAROLINA,
More ku.klux Outrages,

A despatch from Columbia, South Car
olina. to the Pit,sburg Gazette, under
date of March 7,h. says:
Intelligence from York county states
that body Of men, numbering fifty or
sixty entered Yorkville lew days ago
and proceeding to Rose hotel, where the
Office of E. NJ. Rose, the County Trea-
surer, is located. they broke open the
door of the building with battering-
ram, and stated that they came to ob
tain possession of Rose the treasurer,
who luckily escaped. They demolished
papers and records, and committed other
dcpredations; when they mounted their
horses and repaired to the residence of
Thomas Wright, colored, one of the
Yorkville Commissioners, who had also
taken the precaution to be absent. A
day or two succeeding this. party of
men disguised in black came at midnight
to the residence of a negro named An
derson Brown, being four miles north of
Yorkville. whom they ordered to follow
them. In short time afterwards his
wife heard a report Of firearms. Next
morning Browns murdered body was
found abont two hundreds yards from his
house with bullet-hole through bis fore.
head ball through the bowels and sew
eral small shot through the arms and
shoulders.

AT the incoming of new Congress
there are always some changes made in
the standing committees. The Senate of
the 42nd Congress last week made a
change in the standing committee of For
eign Relations by removing Senator
Sumner from the chairmanship of that
committee and voting it to Senator Cam
eron, who is familiar with and abundantly
qualified for the place.
The Democrats and the English
both rejoice over the removal ; the first
because they believe that the trouble
will end in the defeat of the Republican
party in 1872, and the second because so
able and honest an advocate of the pay
ment of every dollar of the Alabama
Claims has been removed from the posi-.
ton from which he could work most pow.
erfully for the payment of those claims.
Mr. Sumner was removed on account of
his opposition to the annexation of San
Domingo. President Grant seems to be
as earnestly in favor of the annexation of
this Island rs is Senator Sumner opposed
to it. We have no taste for writing on
this trouble further than to state it, which
we have briefly done. We leave it for
the present.

New York detectives now believe that
they know who murdered Mr. Nathan
last simmer. A New York correspon.
dent of the Philadelphia Inquirer writes
of this subject as follows:
The latest theory fixes the crime upon a
notorious convict known a mong half a
dozen other names, as Billy Forester"
Some time ago Superintendent kelso is
sued private circular to detectives tor
the arrest aud delivery at his Office Of
Forester. The suspected murderer had
among other aliases The following Bill
y or Frank Campbell, alias Frank Liv-
ingstone, alias Frank Harding, alias
Frank Howard. He was described as
follows Age, "a; height. five feet
six inches slim build, but tough and
wiry rather broad square shoulders +;
weighs one hundred and forty pounds /;
rather long, spare face black eyes. hav-
ing wild expression; high, square fore
head mouth narrow, and corners drawn
down; upper lip stands out little me-
dunn sized straight nose straight black
hair, cut short; heavy, black mustache.
curls at the ends toward the mouth !;
sunken cheeks. but high bones; small
narrow foot; generally walks with his
hands in coat pockets F.; tooth out left up,
per jaw; bracelet in India ink on left
wrist.
After making a thorough search for
the accused in quiet manner, and not
succeeding in finding him. the police now
invoke the aid of the public at large -
1t is to be hoped that Forester. if guilty
will be speedily arrested and brought to
justice. 1t is now nearly a year since
the murder was committed, and there is
danger that the hand of time, which
sooner or later obli,erates the traces of
human acts. will 80 cover up the evidence
in the terrible affair that it will be i'm
possible to fix the crime upon the perpe-
traitor While desiring for the success of
the detectives, let the public be not too
sanguine. for the present alarm, like
those which have preceded it, may prove
to be without adequate foundation.

The North american writes thus OF
the government of South Carolina The
South Carolina Legislature adjourned
sne die at twelve o'clock, on the 7th ist.
There is general satisfaction among the
peopei at the TACT that the new railroad
schemes. eurolling an addition of four
nlillions or more to the State debt, have
finally been defeated, after hard strug.
gle. There has been no addition of anv
kind to the State debt during the session.
1t is estimated that the taxes for the cur
rent year will be ample to meet all the
financial needs of State government. and
the taxes for next year have been some
what reduced. The ordinary appropria-
tions have been largely cut down. In
the last hours of the session the Govern
or vetoed bill! making appropriation for
legislative expenses. on the ground that
it included fraudulent item of nearly

The bill TO fund all the existing liabilities
of the State in a new sterling loan. and
absolutely prohibiting any increase of
the public debt until such loan is paid,
unless such increase be authorized by a
di.ect two-tbirds vote of the people of
the State, has become law. This looks
as though honest counsel prevailed in
that part of the South. the result being
that the loans of the State are attracting
much attention.

Meeting Of the Committee On Union be.

The General Assembly Of the Presby

ed the following persons as committee
from the United Presbyterian church, OF
the subject of Union: Rev. Cyrus Dick
son, D. d. Rev. Herrick Johnston. Rev
d. r. Harper. Mr.. WIN. Blackwell and
Mr. Richard Edwards. The members Of
the committe of the United Presbyterian
General Assembly were Rev 7. Pressly
ID. d., Rev. j. r Kerr. D. d., Rev
William J. Reid. Mr.. George NJ. Reed
and Mr. W. NJ. Gormly.
The Joint committee met in Iittsburg
Pa, March 7ih, and continued in sesrioI
until the .th. All the m, mbers of the
committee were present except DR.. Press
ly, who died since his appointment, and
Mr.. Bakewell. who was confined to hir
room by illness The meeting was a
pleasant one. and the full and free dis.
cussions with reference between the two
bodies were characterized by the utmos,
cordially.
In one Of the early conferences the
United Presbyterian Lranch of the com.
miltee submitted the following as BASH
Of union:
The Westminister Standard as the
general basis. with these additional pro.
positions:
/. The psalms OF the Bible in the best
possible version are to be the authorized
psalmody of the church
2 In all ordinary cases, the sacramento
are to be restricted in their admiuistra.
tion to those over whom the church has
authority.
3 All associations, whether formed
for political or benevolent purposes,
which impose upon their members an
oath of secrecy or an obligation to obey
a code of unknown laws, are inconsistanr
with the genius and spirit of Christianity
and Church members ought not to have
fellowship with such association.
After this basis had been considered
for a time, it was referred to the Presby.
terian branch Of the committee, who sub
sequently recommended the following as
general terms of union:
The Westminster Standards as the
general basis, with these additional pro.
positions:
l. That we regard the Psalms and
Hyms and Spiritual Songs of the Bible
as peculiarly titled 20 our consideration
and use, in public and private worship.
because Of their divine inspiration, and
we re-aflirm our testimony in their favor
as authorized by the word of God.
2. That in all ordinary cases the sacra-
ments are to be restricted. in their admin
tralion. to those over whom the Church
has authority.
3. That the genius and spirit of Chist
ianity furnish the best incentive, the high
est motive and the truest basis for all
work of benevolence and reform. and
that the Church in her organized capacity
is the best agency for the prosecution of
this work, and should be preferred by all
who love our Lord Jesus Christ.
1t was finally and unanimously decid-
ed, in'view Of the impossiblity of fully
reconciling divergent views, to submit the
two basis to the respective Assemblies,
and to recommend the Assemblies to ap-
point committees for conference, with
such instructions as may be deemed de-
sirable -Er
