every tongue was occupied In whispers Of the hero

the communion OF the Catholic Church earned for
her the heartfelt esteem and sympathy OF the large

Lynch as celebrant, Father Flynn as deacon and
Father McCreedy as sub-deacon, the music being

The Horse Disease Causing short Sup

The prevalence OF the horse disease among the
towing animals Of the canal from the Cumberland
mines to the shipping port OF Georgetown has
caused q short supply OF Cumberland coal. The
companies shipping this coal are 100000 tons
behind their orders, and vessels leaving lightly
laden for want OF coal to MI them. This drawback
comes at bad time, as an excellent foreign trade
was springng up by transfer Of orders from Eng

closing OF the canal in few weeks the lost time
cannot be recovered.

COLUMBIA, s. c., Nov. 90 1872.
The Legislature meets here on the 26th inst. The
term OF Senator Frederick A. sawyer one OF the
present United States Senators, expires on the 4th
OF March next. There are number of candidates
in the field for the position, and from the indica

prominent among the candidates are Governor
Scott the present Governor OF the State: John j.
Patterson, OF pennsylvania, commonly known as
"Honest John,n who Is a lobbyist and railroad
speculator in the South. Then Scott who has made
his card, wants TO go to the Senate; and the
list OF candidates IL completed by the
addition Of Congressman r. b. Elliott, perhaps the

about one hundred and twenty republicans out OF

Honest john and Governor Scott, it is
said, are using their money freely; but repub-
licans say that both OF them are cstOpped.
John Patterson has not yet been able to

has any amount OF property, but no cash, and his
financial circumstances are such, owing to suit
with New York newspaper, that he is unable to
negotiate or raise the stamps. Just now Elli0tt's
chances seem the best, because OF his Color as
there Is q suilicency OF his "bredren" to elect him.

Hanging Not Played Out In Washing-

Attorney General williams to-day made his re-
port to the President the application OF Barney
Woods for communication OF sentence Of death to i'm
pris0nment for life in the Penitentiary. Woods
was convicted at the present term OF the Criminal
Court for the murder OF s. NJ. Cheeseman, OF New
York, last Summer. The Attorney General says
that for the protection OF society 1t was necessary
to show that the death penalty should follow
certainly and quickly upon the commission
OF the crime, and that there was nothing In this
case to justify the remission Of the punishment
awarded by the Court. On the contrary 1t was
murder without the slightest excuse or palliation
The feeling generally in this community is that
there should be no delay In the administration OF
justice especially In cases OF murder, and that the
extreme penalty OF the law should be visited upon
all perpetrators Of that crime.
