SOUTHERN Cross BROTHERHOOD. D.-This is
the name of new society which has been
originated at Richmond, Va, by the organiza-
ton of "Lee Camp, No. l." The society is
composed alone of those who were Confederate
soldiers and who maintained unblemished rep
utations throughout. Its object is to perpetu.
ate the memory and heroism of those who fell
in battle, to aid the families of the dead, and
"to try to preserve the truth and purity OF his
tory"
remains of Confederate soldiers from the bat
tle-field of Gettysburg, and from other battle.
fields, where they are being desecrated and
scattered about as if they were no more than
the bones of dumb animals The society pro-
poses to collect these remains and decently in
ter them in Hollywood Cemetery, near Rich
mond, where their graves will be cared for and
receive, each spring, the tribute of flowers
which is the emblem of the consecrations of
mans devotion to those who died in battle.
There are, it is estimated, about 900 Of these
dead still remaining upon the field of Gettys-
burg. Means are needed to effect their re-
mova, and "Lee Camp, No. l, Southern Cross
Brotherhood" asks aid of the South in fur
therance of the patriotic purpose: Large or
small contributions will be gratefully received
and applied faithfully to the purposes men-
toned. Communications upon the subject
may be addressed, w. G. Darlington, Rich

Terrible Tragedy at Rochester, New York.

A fearful tragedy occurred in Rochester, n.
Y. few DAYS ago, at what is commonly
known as the "Old Break of Day House," kept
by John Mclaughlin. The place has been for
wears notorious as the home of the most vi
cious characters. Gilbert Mclaughlin, son of
the proprietor, while delirious, it is supposed,
from the effects of incipient fever or from some
other cause, shot his step-mother fatally, and
wounded man employed to take care of him.
The murderer, according to the testimony thus
far gathered, was under the hallucination that
there was design against his own life, and he
took position on the second floor at the head
of the main staircase with duelling pistol in
his hand.
Mrs. Mclaughlin locked herself into the
front parlor and waved her handkerchief, and
called upon the man Jewett who was hired to
take care of young Mclaughlin, to come up
stairs. Jewett endeavored to do so, but retired
after receiving bullet through his arm.
Then ensued fearful struggle on the part
| Of the woman in tho room to defend her life
against the madman outside. Her old and
| imbecile husband was III another part of the
house unaware of what was going on, or at
least unable to interfere. Jewett raised an
alarm when he retreated, and all the persons
outside seemed most unaccountably dilatory in
interfering. The unfortunate woman placed
herself against the room door to hold it firm.
Young Mclaughlin placed his pistol against
the panes and fired through twice. 1t is
thought that one of the balls passed through
the body of the deceased, inflicting the mortal
wound, and that she dragged herself over to
the window near which the corpse was found
It may be that she was struck while attempting
to oscare at this point, as the murderer finally
kicked in the panel and reached through to
take aim in firing the last shot.
Mclaughlin was one who often showed dis
position to escape from the associations of his
Youth, but lacked strength of mind to do so
He was clad in night-gown during the whole
ARRAY, and refused to allow any clothes to be
put on him after his arrest

GUARD THE WEAKSSpor.-All men, howev-
er strong, have weak spot, like the rhinocee-
ros, which, though plated like monitor, is
vulnerable to spear thrust below the plates.
Satan is not such a fool as to attack the strong
defences; he would be sure to thrust at the
vulnerable points. Some, indeed, think they
have no weak place and such people are right,
for they are weak all over, and no part, there
fore, could be called weak in particular. The
polar bear has weakness, which is for biubber,
and his hunters knowing this, coil piece OF
wbalebone like watch-spring, wrap it in bub-
her and freeze it. They then drop the tempt
ING morsel in the way of bear, who swallows
greedily; but as soon as the blubber melts in
his stomach, the whalebone springs out. The
bear then rolls over in agony, and they come
I'D and kill him. Thus it is when men yield
to an easy sin, it will cut them assunder-

After the expiration of his term IN the Leg
islature, the State went into the hands OF the
present corrupt and infamous Kadlcal party,
under their new constitution. The General
then confined himself to his profession, ana
acquired very large practice in the courts Oh
Greenville, Pickens and Anderson Olstrlcts.5
In the argument of his cases he always evineed
great ability and learning. AS an advocate
before the Jury, he had no superior on the Cir
emit. He ALWAYS spoke well, and often was
truly eloquent in his addresses to the Court
and iury. He had great fuency of language,
and great taste and beauty of expression on
all occasions. Some of the most touching and
beautiful bursts of passion and sentiment that
I ever heard were made by General Essley.
In his character and political principles, ne
was upright and pure, but often eccentric. lie
had no great faith in Republican principles, or
the permanency of the Republic. The little
faith he had in those matters was very much
weakened by the present condition of South
Carolina. He would willingly have exchanged,
aS any moment, the present corrupt and des-
potic government of South Carolina for mon
archy! He thought King would rule over
us more wisely, more justly and more patIloh-
cally than the ignorance and corruption OF the
present masses could. he had theoretically
yery little confidence in or love for the great
mass of mankind And yet, in practical life,
he was a most kind and benevolent man, and
would relieve a fellow-creature, in distress, as
quick as any one I ever saw. He was most
warm and sincere friend, and had the faculty,
as have already said, of attracting. friends to
him in an eminent degree. His health was
bad all his life, and this, am sure, tinged his
nature with that misanthropic melancholy,
which he often exhibited through life. !,
knew General Easley well, and understood
his character better than most persons. For
many wears we were on terms of great intima-

MANY, pleasant hours we have spent together.

A Pointed Review.

Gath, OF the Chicago Tribune, has
the following pointed review of the
general condition of things under Radi-
cal rule:
The object OF my reference to the
GLo5e is to say that hoover could have
read fully the debates OF the present
session must have been affected with
the manifest fact that We have no more
political independence under the Re-
publican party than under the Demo
cratic seventeen years ago. The daily
disclosures also show that We have as
bad official integrity and less economy.
Never before were the bureau officers
OF the regular army aud navy accused
of general corruption. Never was the
holding OF public offices made so sub
servient to election abuses. Never
was the Government so purely per
sonal, aud still administered with such
hap-hazard. Never was the Upper
House Of the Legislature so Indifferent
to the public wishes and determined not
to reform anything. The lower House,
which started in a much manlier and
more cheerful spirit, and heaped the
public business upon the table Of the
Senate, meantime feels the contagion Of
bad example from above, and runs off
into voting large sums upon needless
public buildings, on the Omnibus sys-
tenn" 1t is clear that large proportion
of the Republican party men feel secure
OF the" Machinery" and independent OF
the people, and they fear only popu.
lar movement for inquiry, publication
and reform within the party. The
object of universal hate and apprehen-
sion is the Cincinnati Convention; and
the abuse heaped upon the Independent
spirits who have called it exceeds the
old denunciation of Trumbull, Hiak-
man, Haskius and the anti-Nebraska
men by the Buchanan organs.

West yirginia's Portion Of Vir
ginta's Public Debt.

We have been somewhat amused at
the serious aud solemn manner in
which the Wheeling papers discourse
about West Virgihias share of Vir-
giuia's public debt. They seem to
think that the action of the Constitu.
tional Convention, when it refused to
amend the report OF the committee on
Taxation and Finance by inserting a
provision that West Virginia should
pay her equitable portion OF the debt,
is OF immense Importance The Intel
lige1csr roundly asserts that the Con-
vention voted to repudiate West Vir-
GINA portion, and the REGISTER just
as emphatically, IN a labored editorial
attempts to prove that the Convention
did no such thing
vi course, We do not believe any
uiember OF the Convention would vote
for reputation In so MANY words No
one would voluntarily make such an
egregious ass OF himself, nor would any
one dare to shock the moral senses OF
his constituency by sustaining such q
hsgitious measure. All Of the BLOW
ating which squints at Reputation Is
the merest bosh, il is simply one Of the
modes by which little men become IA,
NOUS, or rather infamous.
The members of the Convention were
commissioned not to steal, but to make
Constitution, which il they do to the
satisfaction OF the people they may
heartily congratulate themselves, and
we take it they are perfectly cognizant
OF their duties, and are more than
willing to keep within the bounds OF
their proper functions. So THAT any
assumption that they have done or will
DO, anything opposed to the true in
terests OF the State, or which might
affect iniuriously her honor, is, at least
ungenerous if not imprudent.
But aside from the propriety or i'm
prepriety of reflections upon the action
of the Convention upon a matter which
involves the merest common honesty"
We do not believe that the Convention
would countenance for q moment any
movement which had for its object the
reputation of the debt, even though
Virgiuias rights were only moral Our
contemporaries are exercising themselves
without sufficient cause Virginia right
to demand payment of West Virginia Of
her Just proportion of the debt is legal,
and therefore payment may be enforced.
Virginia can well afford to rest easy
until such time as will suit West Vir.
ginia to pay her portion Of her o'cn ae-
cord.

The Seeds OF Death.

There is probability that the Con-
veution may implant in the Constitu-
ton the elements OF defeat. Upon
certain points there is fixed de;ermi-
nation in the popular mind, and il these
are presented in an unsatisfactory way,
the work of the Convention will GER
talnly be rejected
We recall in this connection the
question of taxation Tor the support Of
free schools. 1t is proposed to allow
the county courts to levy the taxes tor
the support OF schools. This is to mix
the school interests with questions Of
roads, ways, ferries, bridges, poor taxes,
county police, all questions OF purely
material and business nature. The in
dependence and distinct existence OF the
schools is essential to their success. To
rob them Of their independent character
is 10 impair their usefulness, if not to
DESTROY them. Their prosperity may
be bartered away, their progress ham
pered or compromised by this proposed
dSsOIlallOu vi sSuOot WIN
others of an irrelevant nature.
Further, the article on taxation and
finance, as reported from the committee
OF the Whole, limits the amount of tax
alton to be levied by the county author
tiles, including, Of course, the school
taxes, to sevens-6ve cents one the hun
dred dollars. The limit includes the
taxation for all local purposes, and can
only be exceeded BY q three-ffths vote
OF the county. The local taxation for
school purposes, as shownby the report
of the State Superintendent, averages
nearly sixty cents on the hundred dol
lars throughout the State. If this sum,
or anything near it, is needed in addi-
ton to that distributed from the General
School Fund to support the schools Of
the State, what must become Of these
institutions ifthe entire local tax for all
county and school purposes be limited
as indicated? This is matter for seri-
Gus consideration.
