late Superintendent of the Richmond and Dan

resigned Col Dodamead has an excellent rep

money, however, will be necessary to place the

BRUTAL MURDER.-The Ncwbcrry Herald
of Wednesday last contains the following ac-
count of the murder of Rev. Robert NJ. Harr-
son, who was we'll known to many of our
readers, and held in high esteem by all of his
friends and acquaintanccs. Mr. Harrison mar
ried the widow of Wilson Abncy of Edgcficld,
who was killed in private melee two or three
years ago:
A shocking murder WAS committed on Friday
night last, in Edyclied District, about four
miles from Bouknights Ferry. The victim
was the Rev. r. M. Harrison, and the deed was
committed just after private prayers, and as he
was in the act Of retiring. No clue has been
found of the murderer, and the only knowledge
is that Mr. III. WAS shot through the window,
half of the blind of which was open, and with
81 doublc-barrcllcd shotgun, in the face and
side, with mixed loads of buck and smaller
shot, and that either shot would have been
fatal. Death was instantaneous This is a
most horrible and foul MURDER rendered doubly
so that the victim MAS minister and an inoi-
fansve and quiet gentleman, and most mean-
choly is it that his wife isagain widow through
violence, her former husband having been shot
i'll difficulty some years ago. Mr.. Harrison
was formerly connected with the South Carolina
Conference and subsequently local preacher
within the bounds of the Little Saluda Circuit.

THE STATE LUNATIc AsYLuM.-Dr Lebby,
of Charleston, has made an interesting report
upon the condition of the Lunatic Asylum, af
ter a thorough examination of its affairs, for
the satisfaction of those having friends in the
institution. The Columbia Phanir, in allud-
ing to this report, expresses the belief that a
more satisfactory state of things exists at the
Asylum than was in vogue some time ago, and
says:
DR.. Ensor, the Superintendent, is now assis-
ted by DIR. Sloan, ayoung physician of promise
and the son of Col. j. I. Sloan. The obnox-
employees-Dr. Harris and the keeper Davis
have been removed from the Asylum. We
believe that the friends and patrons of the Asy-
lum cam now rest satisfied that the present Su-
perintcndent will be sustained in his efforts to
improve the condition ofhis unfortunate charge,
and to carry out humane, judicious and skill
full treatment. AS Superintendent and; princi-
pal physician, DIR. Ensor appears fully alive to
his grave responsibilities. He has impressed
this community with his earnest disposition to
do what is becoming in his office, combined
with an intelligent appreciation of his delicate
work.

HOPEFUL ISprcAr1oNs.--The Columbia
correspondent Of the Charleston Courier fur
nshes the annexed paragraph, which may be
received as an indication that there are grounds
to hope for an Improvement among our impc-
cunious legislators:
That great revolution in the affairs of the
State has come about there can be 10 doubt ;
and it is equally certain that considerable
change has taken place in the policy of the
leaders of the ruling party. The defeat of the
Port Royal scheme modest little Bill which
the authors hoped to "oil' through, and the
subsequent defeat of that Bill to redeem GER
tain obligations" are evidences of strong
current of economy which seems to have set in
in the direction of the State House. The Port
Royal business was Bill containing reason
able request for four millions of State bonds
The fact is, however, that the officers of the
State Government and the controlling powers
of the Ring have become large owners of State
Bonds, and are thus forced by their own ndi-
vidual interest to keep up the credit of the
State. TO this fact, and to the firm stand which
the Governor has taken, is due the defeat Of
these little schemes. The end, however, is not
yet, and before adjournment acknowledgements
of startling nature in financial circles are ex-
pccted

THE NEW SUPERINTENDENT OF TIE
GREENv1LLE AND COLUMBIA RAILROAD
The Richmond Dispatch thus refers to Col.
Dodamead:
Col. Thomas Dodamead, Superintendent of
the Richmond and Danville Railroad, has re-
signed hi. office to accept the place of Engin-
eer and General Superintendent of the Green
Vile and Columbia Railroad of South Carroll
na, which runs from Columbia West l43 miles,
with branch Of twenty-onc miles to Anderson
Court House, and also connects with the Blue
Ridge Railroad to Walhala, and the Spartan
burg and Union Railroad. His many friends
will regret that more liberal remuneration and
vide field of operations has tempted CO.
lionel Dodamead to leave Virginia. He has
been connected with our railroads for more
than thirty years, having during the time had
charge of the Richmond and Petersburg, Ches-
apeake and Ohio, Virginia and Tennessee,
Richmond and York River, and Richmond
and Danvilc Railroads. and carly in the late
war was sent West by the Confederate Govern
ment to take charge of the Membhis and Ohio
Railroad and the road from Bowling Green to
to Nashville while General Albert Sidney john
ston was in command at the former place. He
returned to Virginia after the fall of Donelson,
and has been on the Richmond and Danville
Railroad until Yesterday when he left this city
for his new field of operations. His thorough
and practical knowledge in all the departments
of engineering, construction, transportation,
and machinery of railroads, has given Colonel
Dodamead a deservedly high position in his pro-
fcssion, and we regret that his services have
been lost to our State.

Sudden Death.

We regret to announce the sudden death of
Mr. John Baylis Earle, a well known citizen of
this county, which occurred on Friday last. In
crossing Seneca river, at Sloan's Ferry, he was
taken i'll suddenly while in the flat boat and
was carried to his home, few hundred yards
distant, where he breathed his last in about an
hour. Some mismanagement on the part of
the boat hands caused Mr.. Earle to use great
exertions to remedy the defect, which brought
ON an attack of heat disease, to which he was
subject, we understand. Mr.. Earle was in the
68th year Of his age. He was buried on Sun
day at the Deep. Creek place, where the funeral
services were conducted by Rev. J. S. Murray.
The obsequies were largely attended by rela-
tives, friends and acquaintanccs.

A Coop MovE.-The Columbia Union in
forms us of move in the right direction as
nlrous:
We understand that a bill is to be introduced
into.ths Legislature, to repeal all acts, or parts
Of acts, which allow to State and county officers
ices in addition to the salary allowed them by
law. This is right. Every officer should be
allowed "a stipulated sum per annum, and he
should. be allowed no fees or perquisites what
ever. Such an act would remove all desire to
"crowd things" in order to make something.
besides the regular salary. We believe in pay
inc man for the service he renders, and. for
nothing else. If certain duties pertain to his
office, it is neither just nor proper that he should
be allowed fees for dischargng them, when the
Office has regular specified salary.

TIE TROUBLES IN YoRK.-MajOrGe General
C. L. Anderson visited Yorkville a few days
ago, to investigate the disturbances that were
alleged to have taken place, with view to
prevent further mischief. Soon after his arri-
val, he was waited on by a dcputation of citi-
zens, who detailed the causes of i'll feeling in
the county between the white and colored peo-
pie. The Yorkvillc Enquirer, in its report Of
the interview, says:
"The sense of uneasiness was shown to have
arisen principally from the ill-advised policy of
organizing and arming military companies in
the county, composed entirely of colored peo-
pie; of refusing to place white militia compa-
uies on the same footing; and the reckless,
dangerous and undisciplncd use made of the
arms 50 distributed to the colored companies.
"ft was also forcibly insisted that much of
the incendiarism had its origin and execution
in these companies, and that the officers of
companies failed to exercise the requisite dis
cipine over their men.
"It was brought to the attention of General
Anderson that these officers of companies had
few days previous Y acknowledged the pro-
priety of delivering up the arms and accoutre-
ments furnished, and had signed a petition to
this effect
"The obvious propriety of delivering up these
arms having been admitted by the ofhcers OF
the colored company in this town, and the
axity of its discipline having shown it to be
necessary-not only as a measure likely to pro-
mote the public welfare, but as necessary to the
preservation of the peace-General Anderson
at once ordered the arms ammunition and
equipments of the town company to be turned
over 10 the sheriff of the county, to be deposited
by him in place of security.
"The committee assured Gen. Anderson that
this act on his part, together with their united
and earnest influence, would, they believed,
enable them to prevent a collision, that at one
time appeared so imminent. Otherwise, they
feared that no counsels, however honored,
would be effective to control the excitement Of
certain portions of the people To the main
tenancc of peace, the committee pledged their
utmost individual efforts and those of the white
people of the town.
"The order was issued on Tuesday afternoon,
and in compliance Herewith, nearly all the
guns have been turned over, as directed, and at
this time the utmost quiet prevails"
