concerned were two colored lads, ten or twelve
years of age, who we're driving the mules at
tached to a threshing machine. The boys
quarreled, the larger one, son of Adams
James, threw the smaller one, son of Morris
Humbert, down to the ground and deliber-
ately cut his throat. The boy, though IA
tally cut, pursued his murderer for about
fifty yards and fell dead. James was imme-
diately arrested and is now in the Greenville

- The Columbia correspondent Of the
Charleston Ne,us says There is no money
in the State Treasury, but that is no news,
and it is said that Cardozo is no improvement
upon Parker, but is looking out for himself
as carefully as did his predecessor. The COM
plant against Cardozo from Republican sour
ces seems to be that the Treasurer and Comp
troler Hoge have formed as it were kind of
close corporation in the distribution of the
moneys which come into the Treasury, and
that, in consequence, the payment Of no claim
or appropriation can be secured, unless it be
such as those two officials approve of: There
is certainly very strong feeling against Car
doza exhibited by large number of his
brother Radicals and ofice-holders here, ex-
cited, no doubt, by his manner Of dividing
the spoils. By combining with the Comptrol-
ler-General, he can pay, or not pay, pretty
much what he likes. The offended parties
threaten now that they will, as soon as the
Legislature meets, have another Office created
which will virtually deprive the Treasurer
and the Comptroller-General Of all their
power over the disbursement of the public
funds. Both Hoge and Cardozo are now in
New York. Hoge went several weeks ago,
and Cardozo left Immediately after it became
known that the taxpayers were about to in
stitute proceedings to test the validity of the
conversion bonds. There is no such thing as
raising money now on the credit Of the State
in New York"

THE CHOLERA.


CHATTANOOGA, July Is, 1873.
The "gentleman with the black bag" as
the cholera is cheerfully called, appears to be
preparing to take his final departure We
are glad he is going. Having slain two thou
sand people in the State, in about month, he
ought to be satisfied with the summers work.
I only hope that he will not merely transfer
his base of operations and let loose on some
other unfortunate community, but I want him
to 20 back to his native Asia and stay there.
If you could see what havoc the scourge
has wrought in some of the Tennessee towns,
you would pray, on bended knees, ever to be
delivered from the like. In Nashville, five
per cent. of the remaining population we're
slain in Gallatin, over six per cent. and in
Greenville, seven per cent. This is a death
rate calculated to make one shudder at the
very name of Asiatic cholera. I know there
are those who deny that it was genuine cholera,
but the weight Of testimony is altogether that
it was A college of physicians in Nashville,
the other day, after full discussion, pro-
nounced it genuine Asiatic, with but one dis
senting voice. But it makes little difference
about name; the disease is fearful, and you of
Yorkville, as we'll as other places, must fortify
against it. Yorkvile is healthy place, I
know; but so was Nashville, Gallatin, and
Greenville. The only safety is in keeping the
filth cleared up. Death rides in the atmos.
phere. this hot weather, where there is filth.
Now that the cholera is about over, we are
in frame of mind to enjoy the humors Of it
what few there are. In cholera times, every
little disturbance of the system is magni6ed a
hundred fold. A Nashville man, feeling
slight pain in the abdominal regions, procured
bottle of medicine for external application.
Before he could have opportunity for apply.
ing it, the pain ceased. That night he set
the medicine on the mantel shelf Before
morning he felt the pain renewed and hastily
sought his bottle. Finding what he supposed
to be that, in the darkness he rubbed the con-
tents on energetically, and went back to bed,
telling his wife that he felt so much better,
and that he would never thereafter be without
the medicine in the house. Judge Of his sur
prise, next morning, upon finding that he had
rubbed himself over with pint of Buffers
black ink! The bottles being of the same size,
he had, in the darkness, got the wrong one.
He says he would nearly as soon have had
the cholera as for the story to get out.
In this city, negro, not having faith in the

We briefly alluded, last week, to the turbu-
lent meeting of the stockholders of the Allan
tic, Tennessee and Ohio road, at Statesville.
A correspondent of the Richmond Enquirer
gives the following terse account of the con-
troversy:
The meeting was full of fight. R. Y. Nc
Alden, of Charlotte, prominent stockholder,
made war against Johnston in red pepper
speech that he rubbed in" and salted down
in the most vehement style He charged him
with speculating in the railroad bonds; that
he had gone back on the Southern Security
Company, &c. Johnston denied he had ever
Joined the Southern Security Company, and
Mr.. McAden "pulled the papers" on him and
proved it. The "d-n lie' and "liar" were
frequently given Col. Johnston by Mr.. Nc
Alden, with clenched fist. And Col. Johnston
in his reply frequently frothed over, and let
fly the expressions: ''infamous, false, black
and damning as hell ITSELF" The audience
never had better time at public meeting !;
and Statesville man to-day is proud to tell
you all about it. McAden carried his point,
and presided as chairman of the meeting be-
fore it was over. Col. Johnston was pitched
overheard and man named Mcdowell elected
in his stead.
Since the above meeting was held, a con-
ference has been had in Columbia by Messrs
Bridgers, Johnston and other railroad men,
relative to the difficulties involved, and steps
have been inaugurated to prevent Mcdowell
from taking charge of the road. Another
meeting of the stockholders has been called
on the 18th of August; Col. Johnston and
the old Board alleging that Mcdowell was
not elected legally, in view Of which fact they
deem it their duty to retain possession of the
road and perform their duties as Directors
until their successors can be elected according
to law. This will carry the question into the
courts for solution.

Sup't State Lunatic Asylum.
Visitors cuh How to Feed Then.

What ..rse should a family, who
live as nea- y as possible according
to the laws OF health, pursue when
visitors are present who have always
been accustomed to living in the Or
diaary way. Should they prepare
their food in their usual simple and
healthful way, or should they do as
the world generally does and get up
a great variety of tempting dishes
after the usual fashionable style?
People who, as a habit, live in a
proper and healthful manner should
make no change for the worse when
they have company. They should
live we'll always, and live SO as to
keep well, and in such a manner as
not to be ashamed to have people
know how they live. What we mean
by living well is not to see how many
kinds of food enc can have on the
table at once, nor how rich and com
plicated it can be made, but to have
a few kinds Of the best, lealthiest
and most palatable food prepared in
the simplest and incest. manner.
Simplicity in cookery, as in nearly
everything else, is the true secret of
