SOUTH CAROLINA Po11r1cs. s.-Advices
from South Carolina are better than any
body has, for some time past, been ven
turing to hope. Not improbably we may
see there the defeat and destruction of
the Scott-Parker ring and the election of
Mr. TOmlinson, the boilers candidate,
as Governor. Our readers know what
that would mean-at least so far as con-
Germs the overthrow of the ring, which
has done more to make the namo of the
North an offence in the nostrils of the
South than any ten army corps we ever
sent there. And 80 for as concerns the
success of Mr.. Tomlinson We Gun assure
them of our own knowledge that his
election they may heartily ,iae,re as being
the success of q capable and honorable
man who thoroughly knows the ring, and
of perfectly sound Republican. 1t is
not our habit to have much to say about
local elections; but there are aspects of
this South Carolina election in which it
is seen to be anything but local; in which
it is seen to be of even more than na-
tional Importance.
We do not know how good Republi-
cans. or good Democrats either, who
value our good name as people and be-
lieve in perpetuating our free insttu-
tions, could better use their influence or
their money, 80 far as money is legiti.
mately used in political contests, than in
helping to bring the Scott gang to JUS
tice, or, ut the least, to take the State out
of their hands. IS we say. there is n
fair prospect that this may be done; but
the work of doing it will be hard, and
the time in which to do it is not 10 ng,
the election being only three weeks dis
tant. We will add, that question Of
interest in the struggle is, whether the
Southern whites are still so hostile to the
North US to ''prefer South Carolina
thief to Yankee"-to use the language
of one of Gov. Scott's white constituents.
The negro vote is divided. Mr.. Tomlin-
son being known to the negroes as a
longtime friend of theirs, and his elec.
ton depends on the action Of the white
voters Of the State.-Ne,o York Nation.

DEATH OF CONVICT. Ran Baldwin,
one Of the negroes concerned in the
Fidia murder, on the North eastern Rail-
road, died of dropsy in the Jail yester.
day, between 10 and IL o'clock. He was
sentenced to be hanged with White, the
other negro who expiated his crime Oh
the gallows. but escaped that terrible
end by petition which reached the Co
vernon in time to secure Communication
Of tho sentence to imprisonment for life.
He was not aware that Executive Gle.
mency had intervened, until he was d.
formed under the gallows, where he
showed the most painful trepidation.
The effect of the death sentence on him
was 80 great that he never recovered
from it, and gradually declined in health,

The PENNSYLVANIA CANVASS. A spe-
cial despatch from Washington to The
Louisville Courier. Journal, on the 25th
nlt., says:
Reliable advices received to-day from
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, state that
there is not a doubt in the minds of De-
mOoratic leaders about the result of the
October elections. Buckalew's majority,
outside of Philadelphia, will be ut least
1000; and there is no fear entertained
Of Radical mujority in Philadelphia
that can reduce this below $4,000 1t
is believed that the arrangements made
by the Liberals for detecting and pre-
venting frauds will cut do wn Haftranft's
majority in Philadelphia to 5000. Se-
nator Cameron admitted yesterday, in
conversation, that the fight was going to
be very close, and that tho disaffection
in their party was very considerable.
He did not count on majority for Hart
ranft in Lancaster County, which is con-
ceding 5000 greater loss than the
Liberals have counted on.
The Curtin letter is already exertirg
powerful influence. Bets are offered by
Democrats ON Buckalew's election, and
there are no takers by the ring men.
u,
and are astonished and bewildered at tho
effects of Gov. Curtin's letter. In order
to counteract its influence, there is u
plan for Gov. Geary 10 pardon out
Yorkes, now in the penitentiary. on con
dition that he will exonerate Hartranft
from completely in the frauds. and swear
that the affidavit lately published is n
forgery. and that Hartranft's letters to
hi l.
believe that this is his only hope of es-
cape, and none but Hartranft and the
ring partisans are allowed access to him.
Gov. Geary has gone to Philadelphia,
and, if possible, the bargain with Yorkes
will be made.
Among the estimated Liberal gains
for Buckalew over the Governors vote

fight between Meyers (Democrat) and
Charpenning Cessna ia waxing warm,
with chances strongly in favor of Meyers.
The conferences from the Counties of
Franklin and Adams refuse to agree to
Cessna. He has only the nomination of
three OF the smaller Counties in the
District.

Electric Probe for Wounds

In the last general assembly of the
Scientific Association Of France, NJ Trouve
exhibited and described his probe for the
search and extraction Of foreign bodies re-
naming IN wounds. Surgeons have at all
times been occupied with the discovery OF
a simple and practical means, capable OF
revealing to them to a certainty, the pres
cnce of any foreign body i'll the tissues.
Two plans have been proposed, the one
fractional and the other electrial. That by
friction was preferred to the employment
If electricity, proposed by NJ. Favre, OF
Marsellles which was the subject of a COM
municatinn IL the Academy of Sciences.
The style If probe which DIR. Nelaton uses
to discover the presence Of a ball has at its
extremity small = rugous or wrinkled
porcelain ball. which becomes blackened III
contact with leaden bullet.
The apparatus Of VI. Trouve consists OF
three distinct parts battery, a probe,
and an Indicator (rerclateitr). In principle,
il is founded on the difference in conduct.
bility between metals and other bodies
The battery is formed Of zinc and carbon
element enclosed in case of hardened
India rubber Theoretically sealed, the Ell
citing liquid being bisulphide of mercury
The probe is pipe, flexible or rigid, con
structed So that the preliminary probing
may be effected, and then the styles Of the
indicating apparatus may be introduced.
The indicator contains in its interior very
small electromagnetic with vibrator and
two small rods of steel, very sharp and m
sulated from each other and as soon as
these points, which are in connection with
the battery touch any metallic substance,
the vibrator begins to move.
With this apparatus, it is possible to dis
;inguish the different meals Rom one an
other. If the metal is lead, the tremblel
vibrates regularly if, however, it is iron
or copper, the tremhlsr has jerky move
ment.

Remarkable Body Of Water.

relative to a remarkable body of water said
to exist among the Cascade Mountains in

Sinbad the sailor. 1t ID thought to average
two thousand feet down to the water, all

tirely perpendicular, running down into
the water and leaving ~ beach The
depth Of the water is unknown, and It's
surface is smooth and unruffled, as it lies
so far under the surface Of the mounta n
that the air currents do not affect it. Its
length is estimated at twelve miles, and its
breadth ten. THERE'S beautiful island in
its center, with luxuriant trees upon it. No
living man has ever yet reached the water 8

will. 1t lies silent, still and mysterious.

The MINER

On the Goth day of November, 1871, q
lodge was organized at New Austinville,
Ohio, OF the NJ q L. b. A. with but eigh-
teen members. Now we have upwards Of
one hundred
THR rockmen in several Of the mines
around Wilkes Barre struck last week for

The Butler Coal Company are now min
ing coal from their new mine, fifty feet be
low the old one, and are running full
handed.
THE FIRST COAL NINE The first coal
ever mined ia the United States Was dug
up near Richmond, Virginia Bltumin"us
coal was mined there as early as 100 and
in l775 was extensively used in the vicIni-
". During the Revolution Richmond
foundry emp loyed this coal in making shot
and shell for the use of the Continental
forces. From local celebrity il gradually
obtained national renown, and in 1859 At
was being sent to Philadelphia. New York,
and even 70 Boston.
Protection TO MINERS A bill for the
protection Of miners has Just passed our
house Of representatives, which Is undoubt-
.dly a good thing although it probably is
somewhat UNJUST i'll excluding from the
benefit Of its provisions all miners who
work ia mines III which less than twenty
hands are employed Those who work IN
these comparatively small MINES are GER
tainly entitled to the same security froGl
hres, damps, etc, as those employed III the
most extensive III the country, and their
right should So be considered by our legis-
lators, and it is 70 be hoped that Tie sen
ate ail go amend il as to treat all alike.
The bal requires coal operators. after they
have taken out thirty thousand cubic yards
Vi coal, 10 provide two entrances into their
mines tor the purposes Of egross and ingress
in cases Of emergency. This is to provide
against any recurrence Of those horrible
coal mine disasters which have become 81
snockingly common within the last few
years.
The orr lnal bill contemplated the APP
poutment Of a commission to see that the
act was carried out but as it is supposed
that the miners have sufficient apprecla-
ton OF their own rights, and will t. main
tain them, and as 1t would be creating q

LIvEEPOOL AND New YoRK.-As Liver

The True MAN.-Nine-tenth Of the al
legged inhumanity of mankind is owing to
their being deceived. If people are sure of
an accident or calamity, crowds hasten to
relieve it. By veracity we charm in con

ion; by trustworthiness we render friends
loving and secure, add to the general con
hdence of men in men, and by thus
strengthening the foundations of society,
acquire the right TO an analogous personal
sense Of worth and firmness. Truth gives
sense Of security to the feeble man, al
