The Nreeman's Journal learns by private
letter something that viii entite the late gal
liant Captain Fry to especial prayers for his
poor soul on the part of pious Catholics" In
one OF Captain Frys papers, preserved in the
hands of friend, he tells how and why he
refused to blow up the Virginius when over
hauled by the Spanish cruiser on the high
seas. When urged to do so by some Of the
Spanish infdels on board his reply was-
There are q great many men on board who

putting an end to their lives without oppor-
tunity for them to prepare for such thing
The Je,pish Times congratulates its readers
upon the evidence of the progress of reform
in the union effected between the congregation
of Anshi Chesed, more generally known as
the Norfolk street congregation, and the
congregation Temple Adas Jeshurun.
''Thus," says our Hebrew contemporary,
sthe oldest orthodox (Jewish) congre-
cation of the city of New York has become
merged entirely with congregation recog-
nized as the leading radical reform congrega-
ton of the country, and under the leadership
of Rev. DR.. Einhorn, minister, renowned as
the first scholar, the most profound thinker
and uncompromising reformer. The new con-
gregation cannot fail to exercise most power
full influence in the steady development Of re-
form, enlightenment and religious zeal within
the pale of American Judaism"
The Hetreao Leader is considerably exercised
over the mission of ex-Rabbi Schlamowits,
Jew converted to Catholicism, whose province
| is to convert unbelievers to the true faith or
cice uersa, as the case may be. After sum-
marizing an interview the ex-rabbi had with q
HERALD reporter, the Leader arrives at the
conclusion that ''the ignorant turncoat does
not produce any new arguments worth con-
! sidering."

A DREADf6f THREAT. 1t is intimnted,
apparently from the Sherif's Office, that If
Genet is caught he will be brought back to the
city in handouts. This is cheap satistac-
ton that the delinquent officials give to public
Indignation They feel SO bad about the
failure of justice through their fault that they
are resolved to do something very dreadful
if they get chance. But the public would
be better satisfied to have Genet in custody
than to have the officials threatening him with
handouts Meanwhile the officials may vapor
with safety if they ever cared to capture
Genet, which is very doubtful, there is no like
Ihood now that they will ever do it.

RECRUITING FOR THE NAvY.-It appears
that the Navy Department has discontinued
recruiting, save for able-bodied seamen.
When the Virginius excitement was at its
highest pitch the recruiting depots at Toledo.
Detroit, Baltimore and New Orleans were
visited by clamorous crowds ready to enlist
rather than to encounter the hardships of the
winter without other employment. 1t was
very fortunate at the time that this chance OF
getting an honest living was offered by the
government and eagerly embraced by so many
applicants Now that any immediate neces-
sity has passed for further recruiting, the
strikes and the improved condition of the
country will leave many openings that can be
acceptably filed by these men. The govern
ment has wisely decided, however, to accept
all the skilled seamen who present themselves
at Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Washing
ton and Norfolk. Secretary Robson should
under no circumstances adopt policy again
looking to the decadence and inefdcienoy Of
the navy.

The yyalmouth Murder Trial.

Ine w llmOutu AAA Asr5eff
AS is not us.ally the caseswith criniir
nails in New York, young Walworth
who, only month ago, shot and Killed
his father, has already been put upon his
trial. This is Il trial which.natarally, at
tracts the attention and excites the in
terest of the whole country. The eprison-
er's counsel are the two great lawyers
o'Conor & Beach Charles o. Conor is per-
haps the ablest lawyer in America, and
although he has refused for numberof
wears to touch the criminal practice of the
courts, in city too where fees in such
practice are often not unworthy ythe high
est legal talent and exertfon, yet in this
case he comes forward and offers for
nothing what money could nat buy--his
services to defend beardless youth for
shooting his father. And, contrary again
to the usual custom, the defence seeks
for no delay, throws no obstacle in the
way of speedy trial, and, most won'
derFrl of all, sets up no plea Of insanity.
Mr.. o. Conor evidently rests his case upon
the square defence of justifiable homi-
eide. 81
AS regards the murdered man, a sim
gle letter to his wife, written a few days
before his death, and produced on the
trial, proves him to have been a horrible,
unnatural, loathsome, morbid monster,
who ought to have been nput out of the
world twenty years ago.
On the contrary, mother, uncle, aunts,
friends, teachers, all concur in testifying
that the young man was eminent for his
virtue, gentleness, and devotion to his
mother.

County, also visiteda limited portion Of
Kershaw County. to within eight miles
of Camden, thrlying .tcomnierciaftown
in Kershaw.
My route was via Columbia, Kings
villo, sc. Being alone, and my thoughts
not disturbed, carefully observed the
growing corn and cotton crops, the man.
ner of cultivation, &c. From Johnston's
to Columbia, the corn and cotton crops
are indeed poor; each small and really
grassy. The corn especially sorry.
did not see a field that would average
over six'or eight; bushels; per acre. and
this growthgou land capable of yielding
from 20 to 25 bushels per acre. The COZ
ton small and in places not more. than
half cultiYated;. almost overrun win,
grass. In fact, 7 do not think the grass
can be conquered the present year :.
In a word: Crops from Johnston's to
Columbia, considering the quality of the
lands and the ability-of the planters, are
not more than half what they ought to
be. I speak of the average crop. The
best cotton saw was on the plantations
of Capts. CIV. and T. B. q
This brings me 10 Columbia, at which
place remained from s:27, A. M. until

Two O'Clock, P. NJ, found me on the
Camden train, running down on the s.
C. r. R., as far as :zingsville-distance,
80 miles. Noted the. crops again, from
Columbia to Kingsviile. They are more
miserable than from Johnston;s to Co
lumbia; with this exeeption-freer from
grass and better cultivated. Notwith-
standing this, however, the cropsin Rich

half yield unless they greatly improve
by fall. Corn almost failure.
now leave Kingsville, running. a dis
tance of eight miles, and after crossing
Wateree river, enter into Sumter Coun-
ty. The crops now begin to improve !;
the corn better on an average; and the
cotton really hne and well cultivated. l
was informed, however, that such pros
peets did NOT extend through the entire
County, but were confined to what is
called Bluff River Lands.
In conclusion, 1 did not see any corn
or cotton ahead Of that Immediately
around Edgefeld c. H. In fact, I do not
think as good. All we need is railroad,
and then Edgefeld will be one of'the

found employment in Lord & Taylots.
After FIVE years faithful service, on recon-
mendation of that firm, he began travel
ing for White, Ross & Co., with whom he
remains. Before he visited America he
fell in love with blue-eyed, rosy maid OF
twelve years, and on parting the two
bound themselves with solemn vows to
become man and wife. Maurice did not
hear from her during the ten years ab-
sence. He worked hard and laid up
snug little fortune. Last Saturday friend
told him that young Englishwoman was
in the Stacy House. whose name was Car.
ne Linyard. Maurice hastened, and found
his betrothed Of ten years ago d beautiful,

father was with her. The old vows were

reported in the city, and those principally
in the Sixth, Eighth. Ninth and Tenth
Wards. The Fifth Ward is comparatively
free from cholera. In the penitentlary
there have been over one hundred cases,
but owing to prompt treatment given,
the losses will not exceed per cent.
From the reports of physicians to-day We
are confident that there will be great

This is terrible day for cholera. It is
cloudy, cold and gloomy. A number Of
new cases have appeared this morning
but no deaths reported as yet. Every
genuine case of cholera has ended fatally.
The people are still hopeful, although those
of them who reside in low localities, and
are able to do so, are leaving. The dis
ease is confined principally between the
Western and Atlantic Railroad depot and
the mountain. No case has yet made its
appearance between the depot and the
river
Four new cases have been reported.
The doctors are so busy they cannot be
caught to learn the particulars. Families
are moving out of town in every direction.
Four whole families have been swept away,

So far, the disease has attacked but few

Renndiatfnn at the South.

Whether or not the bonds, so-called, of
the Southern States will be paid, is a
question that is now attracting much at
tention. The probable action of North
Carolina, especially, is being much dis
cussed; and attempts are being made to
anticipate, if not to prevent, the effect of
the proposed amendment striking from
the State Constitution the clauses relating
to the State debt. And in the end, We
prophesy that at least two-thirds of the
South Carolina bonds will be repudiated
by the people en- masse-and such should
Be the fate of the bogus bonds issued by
the Scott -Kimpton-Moses Ring of thieves
and plunderers. Reputation will be
the watchword, and in the next cam
paign will lead to victory.
