1t is generally supposed that the pu-
nishment of being broken on the wheel
went out with the rack, the thumb screw
and the frightful embrace of the spiked
Maiden" 1t appears that the punish
ment of the wheel still exists in Servia
for murderers, highway robbers and in
cendiaries. An execution by this mode
Las just taken place there. Two men,
Moses Alexander Werthstein and Sebas.
tolns Alexiry, were broken on the wheel
for the murder OF family of farmer
named Detrestisy. The particulars of
the execution are horrible. When SEN
tenced, Alexiry maintained his COM
posure, but Werthstein broke into loud
screams and cried for mercy. A large
number Of people assembled around the
scaffold. AL the time consumed in the
preliminary preparations, Wcrthstein
continued to scream and beg for mercy.
all being ready, the executioner drew
from green bag nm iron club with a
knot at the eud. With this he proceeded
to crush tho shoulders, the knees and
every joint in the body Of these crimi-
nails. 1t was, from the accounts given,
an exhibition brutal almost beyond con-
ceptiop.

POLITICAL JOTTINGS. GS.-Notwithst standing
the fact that the Constitution of the
United States contains an express provi-
sion against paying any debt or obliga-
tion incurred in aid of insurrectiop,
many Grant organs still affect to believe
that Mr.. Greeley will "pay off the rebel
debt" They are probably afraid he will

Boutwell, makes the best showing he
can in regard to the reduction of the
national debt He is perfectly aware
that his retention in Grants C.' .let is
dependent upon the ingenuity he dis
plays in ''dootoriny" the public accounts
After the 4th OF March next, we shall
probably get at true understanding of
our financial condition.
The nomination of Gen. Dix by the
Republicans of New York has not
strengthened their cause. The decorous
old man will not divide the Democratic
vote. even if the approaching conven-
tion should unfortunately make weak
nomination for Governor, which is not
at oil probable. Greeley develops new
strength every day. We think it is very
likely that Greeley and Brown will carry
New York by from 1000 to 100, 900 ma
jority. The Louisville Grnnt adjunct
will help Greeley in the Empire State as
it will elsewhere.
Ever since his father was defeated by
Greeley for the Liberal nomination at
Cincinnati, Quincy Adams and the whole
Adams tribe have been down ON the
Liberal movement. They now go into
the Grant fold through the doors of the
Duncan side show. They leave no gap.

dress his .citizens at midnight,
sunrise or any time crowd collects to

THE FIRE AT WALKER, EVANS & Gods
wELh's.-We regret to learn that the fire
at the extensive printing and publication
establishment Of the above enterprising
and energetic firm will not fall short OF
$4,000, and may reach $4,000. The
damage to the building will not exceed
$1,000 probably, but it is in the stock,
wet to check the progress of the fire, the
heaviest losses have occurred.

EDITOR PHOENIX: The Radical cam
paign wns commenced tonight on behalf
OF the boiling wing of that party by an
open-air speech from Judge Orr. He,
in effect. repeated his Fourth of July
Grafton in Greenvillo in favor of Grant
and Wilson, and after preparing his au-
dience, launched into State politics; re-
viewed the proceedings of the delectable
Radical Convention lately held in Co.
lumbiu; exposed the tricks of that pa
tron saint and csemp!ar Of South Caro-
lima Radicalism. Oil Holy MosesI how
thy patty friends abuse thee! But thou
and nll opposition, else you would be
of roses We goes for Noses" In our
stupidity We have believed that South
Carolina Radio calism, or Republicanism,
if you prefer it, was invented or insti.
tuted for the personal benefit of some
body or somebody else, or, least wise,
for the exclusive benefit of the leaders
Of said party, and not for the interest
and benefit of the ''dear people,"
We patiently but vaiuly listened to
hear Judge Orr confess his mistake in
yehementIy urging his fellow-citizens,
two years since. to sustnin for Office the
very parties he now so bitterly de-
nounces.
Judge John Y. Green, Of Sumter, took
the st"nd, and followed Judge Orr in
denunciations Of this heaven-born party,
that now has its claws on the vitals of
our State. It would strike q nearer as
eminently proper that men protesting 80
much honor and principle should come
out from among such a set of rascals as
they say they are associated with, and
unite with decent and honest people, and
clean out the whole lot. The numbers
in attendance were small; enthusiasm
''small by degrees and beautifully less. >"
We are strongly impressed with the no.
tion thnt Moses has the ear and heart of
the dear people hereabouts. NJ.

Quite recently. there was some proba-
bilhty of the sudden stop being put to
the conjeotures of the press as to the
meaning of the conference about to be
hold at Berlin between the Emperors of
Austria, Russia and Prussia. One of
the essential parties, the Emperor OF
Russia, came very near being compelled,
by on unavoidable. and yet very custom
ary circumstance In this empire, to be
absent. In fact, m attempt was made
to assassinate him on his last journey by
car to Layidia. The Pyesse of Vienna
states that large stono had been placed
upon the track near the station of Nor
darowka on the Balta Odessa line. For
tunately, the engineer of the imperial
train perceived the obstruction in time
to check the cars. It was narrow
escape, and shows that tho enemies Of
the empire will resort to the old means
to rid themselves of an obnoxious Empe-
ror. Assassination is yet popular, aud
the present Emperor will have to run
the gauntlet as his predecessors did.

A correspondent writing of Charles
O'Conor, says: In stature Mr.. OConor
is rather tall and of rather slender
build. He dresses plainly. und this adds
to his plebian aspect. His oountenance
is decidedly Irish, and is of that medium
stamp that is found between the gentry
and kern OF that island. he might rea
sonably be taken for successful grocer
or thrifty dry goods merchant. or even
for second rate physician. There is
something in that plain countenance,
with its dry, hard lines of thought, that
tells OF labor; but the latter does not
suggest literary culture. There is an alb
sence of oil grace or general attraction,
but we see nerve and calm decision there,
aud hidden power is also suggested
that makes one stand in awe. From his
personal appearance, I should Hay that
Mr.. O'Conor would have made good
military commander, also an executive
officer OF great success. he would make
good President were it not for his pre-
judices, which are invinoible. MIR.
O'Conor has had variety of important
cases, one of which was the famous
Forrest divorce suit, which was in his
hands in its various stages for fourteen
years. He has now retired from bust
ness. bnt will finish all mis- old business
and hence he continues the famous Jumel
will case, which has been seven years be-
fore the various courts"

TERRIBLE DEATH OF A CHARLESTON
LADY.-Mrs. Nathans, formerly Miss
Catherine Hort, of Charleston, and q
sister-in-law of the late General Gads-
den, met with terrible death lately.
She was returning with her husband
from Long Branch, and when at Jersey
City, finding that they had got into the
wrong cars, Mr.. Nathans and herself
made an attempt to leave while the train
was moving. The gentleman succeeded
in getting out, and while attempting to
assist Mrs. Nathans, she fell, and before
she could be rescued the train passed
over her, killing her almost instantly.
Mr.. and Mrs. Nathans wero an aged
couple and both in bad health. They
resided in Philadelphia, and were much
esteemed by a large circle OF friends.
who sympathize deeply with the sur
viyor in this terrible calamity.

Brigandnge in Italy has not yet, in
spite Of the cxertions Of the authorities,
been suppressed. 1t is not pleasa ut
life, that of an Italian brigand. The
romancs OF it has long ago been proved
a myth. Fra Diavola makes his appear
nnce only in the picturesque attire and
studied attitudes Of Castle or Hableman.
The real brigand is brutal, ignorant,
stohd understanding coarse food,
sleeping on the ground il all weathers,
chased from place to place, with no rest,
wretched. ragged, and probably rheu-
matte. If it was not for his crimes, he
would be O pitiable object. He certainly
can lay no claim to DO hero. Gene
rally he is content with sharing the fru-
gal meal of somo frightened peasant,
and stealing small sums from native tra.
velers. Occasionally, however, larger
prey is captured. Tho brigand Manzi,
of the province OF Salerno, has Just
seized Signor Marcusi, and refuses
100000 francs ransom for him. The
Government hns offered reward of
$4,000 for the capture of Manzi, dead
or alive. Another brigand in the noun
tains of the Basilicats has recently re-
leased another captive for the ransom of
50, 600. It appears strange that such a
state of affairs should continue to exist
in the midst Of civilized Europe.

CArERs OF LIGHTNING lightning
and narrow escape from death is told
by one of the Connecticut papers. 1.-THE
electric fluid entered at the window OF q
room in the second story, where d boy
lay III bed, but not asleep. It leaped
across the room to the wall. crossing the
bed where the boy lay, and tore both
the sheets on the bed into fragments,
scorching one badly. but leaving the boy
nnharmed. 1t ripped lsths and plaster
ing from the wall. and scattered them all
over tho room. Then it descended to
the lower floor, and into closet, smash
ing large quantity of orockery. It
hurled two lamps from a mantel. piece in
the Kitchen across the room, overturned
and smashed clock on the other side
OF the chimney, and then separated into
three bolts, two of which went down
through brick hearth into the cellar,
while third went out at the side of the
house. ripping the boards in pieces.
The boy. wild with fear, came running
down stairs, entirely naked. and don't
recollect whether he took off his night
shirt himself, or whether the lightning
took it off for him. He was unharmed,
not even stunned. He said that he lay
'cnddled' down into the bed. "a large
feather bed, with the clothes drawn up
over his head, 30 that he could not see
the lightning. and that there was noise
as if some one had fired cannon in his
ears; that there was burning heat ana
general tumbling-up of everything, and
that lie thought he had stayed there
about long enough, and 30 went down
stairs"

ONO SHAKEN TO ITS CoRE-A HIoH.
TONED WHITE GIRL E1opEs WITH Ne.
oRo.-The Columbus tOhio) Dispatch
says:
That portion of this worlds society
living in this County, and in tue imme.
diate vicinity of Dublin, has been shaken
to its foundation, and the vibration has
not yet ceased. The cause of this re-
markabls condition Of things is the
elopement Of Miss Mary Everett, a mem
her of one of the Oldest and most re-
specially connected families in the
County. with Frank Thompson, one of
the most ill-shapen negroes in the coun.
try.
The blow is very painful one to the
family and relatives. and everything pos.
sible is being done to save the infatuated
girl from life OF misery and degrade.
ton. Detectives are on their track, and
they will be hunted to the death. Frank
Thompson, who has induced the young
lady to share his fortunes. is blinky-
eyed, roupd.shouldered negro, with q
nurely African countenauce. He has
been working on the Everett farm for
about three years. and has conducted
himself, generally speaking, in mannt r
in consonance with the position Of |,
hired man. No one ever entertained q
thought, or even shadow of suspicion,
that there existed between the negro and
the girl any state of feeling calculated to
lead to the present unfortunate state of
affairs. The Everett family is connecte
by marriage with some of our prominent
citizens. and the modification is keenly
felt. Miss Mary Everett is young lady
OF about nineteen years Of age, and, al
though not pronounced handsome, was
endowed with certain qualities popular
to her sex that endeared her in the hearts
of all who knew her.
How she ever became infatuated With
or was brought about to leave home,
friends and society for Thompson, is one
OF those inexplicable circumstances that
has bothered the wisest heads since the
world began. The father oi the girl
died last year, and the property has Just
been divided. Miss Mary's share amount
ing to fifty or sixty acres of good land,
which, if in the market, would bring q
very good price.
The runaways, last Friday, made ap.
plication to Judge Pugh, of the Probate
Court, for II license to marry. but it was
refused. Since that time, their where
abouts is unknown. The unfortunate
girl was the only unmarried daughter,
and the step she has taken has cast upon
her people disgrace of the most pain
full character.
