CENTRAL AMERICA.
Another United states.

NEW YORK, March 25.-A pact of the
Central American Union, composed of the
States OF Costa Rica, Honduras, Guatama-
la and Salvador, signed 18th of Febru-
ry, contains an engagement to preserve
intact the autonomy and integrity of Central
American territory; it provides that other
than republican form of government shall
never be established; that disputes between
the members be settled by mediation of the
others; that rebellion in either country is
treason against all; that the duration of the
presidential term in all the Republics be
uniform without immediate reelection;
that no one can be a slave within
Central American territory, and a Central
American becoming the owner of slaves in
another country loses his nationality and
the protection of the laws; that citizens of
either republic acquire the rights of citizen
ship in all others by the mere expression of
the wish before any government authority.
and that the right of asylum is recognized
for emigrants or political exiles from any
part of the world.
The construction of telegraphs and ma
tional highways, the establishments of mail
steamers, and the excavation of an inter
oceanic canal through Nicarauga, and Ma
tional Congress which meets May II, at La
Union, in Salvador, are provided for, and
the death penalty, for political offences, is
abolished.
Nicaragua has not signed the pact, but is
expected to do so.

The evils OF "OVercrOWding" are begin
ming to attract general attention in England,
and it has been found that in Hanover
square, London, % houses contain 480 per-
sons, or several times as many as a moder-
ate regard for health would allow. In one
district of the parish Of St. Giles, there were
$40 families, none Of whom occupied more
than a single room. This was the case
throughout dozen districts. In one room,
II by 13 feet, and feet inches high,eight
persons were packed; in another, only six
and one-half feet high, a man, his wife, and
five children were crowded. The worst
features of the overerowding, is the oecu-
patton of the same bed by two sets of peO-
pie during the same night. Certain classes
attending the theatre every night-ballet
dancers, supes, and the mob which is at
tached to pantomlme-let their beds TO
market people, who are just ready to get up
and go to work when the theatrical folks
come home.

The extent of capital invested in RAILWAYS
in the United Kingdom, and the enormous
circulation of money involved in them, is
something startling. A recent number of
the Builder says that it has lately been
shown that Il, ,247 miles of railway are now
being worked in the United Kingdom, on
which have been expended no less a sum
than 850O,000,000, which is five times the
amount of the annual value of all the real
pr, perty of Great Britain, and tWo-thirds of
the National Debt. The gross net annual
rev, nue. Of the railways in this country af-
to- deducting all working expenses, exceeds,
t22,OOO,OOO sterling, more than the total
revenue, from all sources, of Belgium, Hol-
land, Portugal, Denmark, Sweden and Nor
way. The companies have in their direct
employment more than 100000 officers and
servants. The value of the rolling stock ex-
ceeds f30,000,000. The consumption of
coal and coke by railway engines amounts
to between 100000 and 100000 tons a
year; so that in every minute throughout
the year above four tons Of coal are consum-
ed, and twenty tons of water are flashed in
to steam. The consumption Of fuel is about
equal to the coal exported from Great Brit
ain to fereign countries. There are more
than 100000 tons of iron laid down in
rails alone, and the chairs would weigh
nearly l,OOO,OO0 tons; so that there are not
far short of 100000 tons Of iron on the
permanent ways of the United Kingdom,
and OF these about 10000 tons of rails have
TO be every year replaced,

HAMILTON & CUNNINGHAM,
The Late Col. Patrick Duffy.

At a meeting of the citizens of Trous-
dale county, held at the Methodist Church,
in Hartsville, on the 10th inst, to pay trib-
ute of respect to the late Col. Patrick Duff
fy, on mOtion,i DR.. James S. Dyer was
called to the chair and j. ID. Andrews ap-
pointed secretary. A committee, consist
ing of James Puryear, Cyrus 3. Hale, T..
NJ. Patterson, j. NJ. Madden and 5. p. Cum
ningham, appointed to draft resolutions, re-
ported the following, which were unani-
mously adopted:
Whereas, As it has pleased our Heavenly
Father to take from our midst our esteemed
and distinguished fellow citizen, Col. Pat
rick Duffy, we feel it our duty and privilege
to give expression to our feelings over the
loss our community has sustained. Col.
Duffy was born in Ireland; in 1926 he emf
grated to Hartsville, where he at once ac-
lively entered in business. When the call
for volunteers from this State for the Mexi-
can war was made, he nObly responded,
and was elected Lieutenant in Capt. +. A.
Benefits company. he served his eleven
months term in Mexico with entire satisfac-
tiOn to his country, and returned to Harts-
vile, where he remained in active business
until the war of 1861, when he again dOnned
his Uniform and served in the army of the
South faithfully, and with ability, until the
close of the war. He held the position of
Major in the goth Tennessee, Col. Battles
regiment, and participated in the battles Of
Fishing Creek and Shiloh; at the former
having his horse killed under him, and at
the latter displaying gallantry and skill.
After the battle of Shiloh, he was promoted
to a COlOnelcy, and engaged in the recruit
ing service in Middle Tennessee. When
the war ended he returned to Hartyille, and
since, has devoted his remaining days in
aiding in the development and prosperity of
this region. He died in harness. He de-
voted most Ofhis time intervening from the
close of the war until his death in building
I'D the Vidette. Then in reviewing the
life of this brave, working citizen, we feel
that in his death the State has lost lead
ing citizen, the country a most worthy
friend, and society an honest, upright mem
Der.
Resolved, that while we most deeply de-
plore his loss, that we realize that vain re-
pining is useless; and that since He who
gave has seen fit to take away, it becomes
us to submit without murmuring.
Resolved, that the deceased possessed
many ennObliDg virtues which tend TO ele-
vate mankind; he was open, brave, devoted,
kind and charitable, in his intercourse with
those he deemed deserving; but with those
he disliked he was given to plain speech in
his censure.
Resolved, that we tender to his bereaved
relatives our heartfelt sympathies in this
their sad bereavement; and that while we
cover over, with the broad mantle of chari-
ty, bis faults, We will ever remember his
many and ennobling virtues.

FAILURE AND SUCCESS.
Power Of an Established PresS-C Gases
IN Point Furnished by Louisville.
From the Augusta Constitutionalist.

From the Augusta ConstitutiOnaliSt.
The Louisville Ledger, one of the ablest
journals in the South, has suspended. 1t
was started in opposition to the Louisville
COlTier-JOundl, when that paper took ex-
treme new departure ground. A capital of
one hundred thousand dollars was raised to
insure the success of the Ledger, and it
sailed into life upon furious tide of public
Indignation against the COlTieT-JOETnGl.
And yet it failed.
1t teaches, two valuable lessons. First,
that even under the most favorable circum-
stances, the establishment of daily news
paper is seldom attained. In nine cases
out of ten failure is the result. To succeed,
it is necessary that a journal must win the
confidence, which means the patronage, of
the people in its principles, and of the bu-
siness community in its material prosperity.
This of course, requires time, and fortunes
are sunk before the goal is reached, and
suspension follows.
We see, secondly, the power of an estab-
lished press. The COuTieT-JOunGl went
the whole length of the New Departure,
against the prejudices and opposition of the
great body of the Democracy of Kentucky.
Yet it did not bulge one step from its po-
sition, but boldly defied the storm. Of
course the business community patrenized
it as overlooking to the interest of
business. The sequel now proves that the
affections of the people for an old and favor
ite paper could not be weaned away.
Once a newspaper has enSrenched
itself in the confidence of business men and
in the hearts ofthe people,i wields power
that is not surpassed, battling all efforts to
crush it as easily as the rock beats back the
fierce assaults of wreckcrested waves. A
journal having once attained this position,
it can and does smile at the puny attempts
either of envy or malice made against it,for
henceforth it is all assured success and
fourishes in great prosperity. But, as be-
fore remarked, there is perhaps but one
newspaper enterprise in ten that ever gains
the turning point of success.

"What are your politics." said to us new
conner to the city, We answer that the
first vote we ever cast was for Hugh L.
White, and our politics have been white
ever since. We would have good measures
and good men if we can. If not we would
take the next best, and the best we can.
We are more especially for ''the land of the
free and the home of the" slave. As to
State matters we are inclined to be little
Brown. We are for doing the best we can
under all circumstances, and for paying only
the debts that we owe. Whether in the
Presidential race we shall go for the Liberal
Republican Office hunters will depend on
whether we must or no. If the Democratic
party should make a nomination we expect
To support its ticket.

TUnGE LYNCH.

The killing of the negro David Jones was
an epoch in our quiet, law-abiding city.
All day Sunday and all day Monday the
terrible assassination, not for revenge or
from passion or prejudice, but for
money, of old man Murray by the
most noted burglar that ever lived in
Nashville, was the natural cause Of
very great comment and very great excite
ment. The murdered man and his bur
glar-assassin were both well known in this
community. The first as a quiet, peacea-
bic citizen, who was regarded as the father
of Nashville railroad men. The other as
desperate character, the motto of whose
whole family seems to be burglary"
Our local report gives in full the details
of the tragic event. 1t is a matter of the
deepest regret to the authorities and citizens
of Nashville who are the immediate guard
ians of the law, and more, fpossible, to the
State authorities. So sudden and unex-
pected was the attack upon the jail that the
iailor, one of our best negroes, did not feel
himself able to resist and opened the doors.
As will be seen from our local report, the
jailor and the Sheriff, endeavored to pre-
vent the rescue. The Governor
and Mayor were moi notified of
the impending danger until too late.
There were, as we learn, no disguises used,
but as none of the participants were recog-
nized, it is presumed that those engaged
were railroad men from a distance, who
were old acquaintance and friends of the
deceased Mr.. Murray.
This terrible deed has cast deep shadow
over our city. 1t has brought sorrow to all
our people. 1t is an event which all regret,
but none can recall.

GOVERNOR BBOwN.

rom Ile Isfls lnJelilgenCeT
Sometime since we published an article
in which we took the grounds that if Gov.
John G. Brown could find it consistent
with his interests TO give his services for a
second term to the State, that We would be
willing to give him our hearty support. We
then gave some reasons for the position,
among others this: that any policy that
might be inaugurated by him, Cor any other
GovernOr,) could not be perfected, and
properly carried out in the short space Of
one term. Our State has suffered alarming
ly by the misrule Of former years, and now
that the present Governors policy was, in
our estimation, well calculated to bring the
State back TO a basis Of prosperity, and
credit, and that we would like to see it car
ried> out. 1t is true this might be done by
his successor, but again it might not. The
too frequent change in the magistracy of
the State cannot be productive of good, but
might result in harm
