by delay, and If any hanging back would

ku KluxIsm IN New York.

take the law into their own hands and

very trivial affair An instance in point
occurred few days since in New York
city. John E. Simmons, the lottery dealer,
who killed his former partner, Nicholas
w. Duryea, in that city last week, had
been placed in the Park Hospital for
medical treatment, his ankle having been
badly sprained in the rencontre. between
himself and Duryea. On Tuesday last
the police received information that Du'
ryeas friends had formed vigilance COM
nittee to seize the person Of the murderer
and execute him. Simmons was, there
fore, secretly removed to a place Of greater
safety. The New fork Times, Radical
organ, in noticing the occurrence simply
saws The fact that such an attempt was
contemplated shows the strong feeling
which this peculiarly brutal murder has

In the South "such an attempt" would

An Avalanche In Utah.

SALT LAEx CRY, Dec. 26, 1872.
The weather at Salt Lake has been
mild and rainy for three days, with heavy
SHOWS in the mountains. Near Central
City terrible snowslide occurred to-day,
from six to eight feet of snow having
fallen in the last two days. At about
half-past two o'clock this afternoon an
avalanche 500 feet wide and twelve deep
came down, crossing the stage road, car
rying away from eight to ten teams and
tesmsters and taking them 1900 feet
across Cottonwood Greek. Three of the
tsamsters have been shovelled out alive,
Tut badly bruised four more, known to
be buried, were not rescued, and it is
thought impossible to find them before
Spring, although from one to two hun.
drsd men are at work shovelling All
ths teams in the line Of the avalanche
were swept away. The names Of the
man have not yet been ascertained.
Eight mules we're dug out, some dead,
some with legs broken and others severely
bruised. Several wero afterwards shot.

A Comfortable Prospect for " Honest
JohnN


The press, as it should do, is calling
loudly upon the U. S. Senate to run over
Senator Patterson's gamut before they
allow him 10 take seat in so well-tun-
ed a body. But we predict that nothing
of the sort will take place. United States
Senators, in these days, dare not look too
closely into the alleged corruptions OF
colleague. 1t is recorded that the two
Senators from Kansas were, last winter,
charged with having secured their cleo.
ton by bribery, and that a committee
was appointed to look into the charges.
And to facilitate their examination, this
committee was authorized to sit during
the recess and take testimony in Kansas.
Senator Morton was the chairman OF the
committee. And only a few days back
he made the pretty report that he had
been unable to get the committee togeth-
er-that only one Senator had answered
his summons.
AS contemporary well remarks, had
it been poor Ku Klux that was arraign-
ed, the whole power of the Government
would have been at command for his
trial and conviction.

. Good Example.


The Survivors. Association of Kershaw
has founded Scholarship in the Con-
federate Home, in Charleston, for the
benefit of daughter of some deceased
Confederate soldier, needing assistance
to complete her education. This schol-
arship covers the expense of board, uni
form and tuition. Of course the young
lady must be of Kershaw County. Ap-
plications are invited to be sent in imme-
diately to DR.. A. A. Moore, Chairman OF
Committee.
So noble an example deserves imme.
diate imitation by every County in the
State. Thirty-two daughters Of Contea'
crate soldiers, at school every year, al
the expense of the Survivors Assocja'
ton, would be living, breathing, loV

would make the Association itself hon

A Terrible Tragedy at Timmonsviile.

A Terrible Tragedy at llmmohs'iiie'
We get the following particulars OF a
fearful! tragedy from the last issue of the
Florence Pioneer, the new weekly paper,
publication Of which has just been start
ed at Florence, S. C. The Pioneer of the
25th says:
Yesterday afternoon Tmmonsville was
the scene of one of those terrible TRACE
dies, which until very recently, scarcely
ever stained the pages Of our public jour
mails. We were near the scene at the time
it occurred, but not being acquainted with
the parties we were furnished the follow
ing particulars by friend:
One VIM. Oliver, together with Hiram
Oliver, Malcom Timmons and others, were
drinking in bar-room, and creating a
disturbance, when Marshal Powers, as
sisted by two colored Marshals, attempted
to arrest them. Meeting with resistance,
Marshal P. fired two shots at VIM. Oliver,
both taking effect in the left breast, one
Immediately above the other He, Pow
ers, then fred upon Hiram Oliver, the
balls taking effect in one knee and below
the knee Joint Of the other. About this
time VIM. Oliver turned upon Marshal
Powers and fred at him with large navy
pistol, the ball taking effect in the upper
part Of Marshal Powers thigh, breaking
It into shivers Powers fell to the
ground, when VIM. Oliver fired again
breaking his hand. Malcom Timmons
was severely shot in the mouth: Dr..
Culpepper is attending Marshal Powers,
and Dr.. Wright Oliver the others. It is
thought that Powers cannot live; VIM.
Oliver has been arrested and will proba-
blv be retained to await the development
of the case, and the termination OF the
Marshal's wounds. The trial was pro-
crossing when we left, 4 ?. NJ, but the

Floods, Fires, shipwrecks, Railroad

The floods, fires, shipwrecks and rail-
road horrors of the past year are unparr,
alleled in history. And even now the
accounts from the floods in England are
truly fearful. Earlier in the season such
floods have worked terrible raydges
along the line Of the Danube, in Upper
Italy, in France, and in Belgium. And
now they have reached England. The
river Trent and its tributaries have risen
above their banks, and large portions OF
the, Counties of LEICESTER, Derby ana
Nottingham have been submerged. So
heavy are the floods that in some Sec
tions only the tops of the trees and
hedges are visible. Near Dover land
Slides have occurred, and railroad com.
munication has beens interrupted! The
town of Peterborough, in Northampton
shire, is flooded, and such is the deluge
of water that the residents have in many
instances been compelled to take refuge
in the upper. stories of their dwellings
1t has been most unusual season. MOI
are the floods confined to Europe. In
our own country, during the past week.
the floods in the Ohio river have been eX-
ceedingly dangerous and destructive
many valuable steamers and other craft
having been sunk or smashed. Upon
the breaking up of the unprecedented
snow and ice, which are now prevailing
we fear we shall hear Of new disasters
in many quarters.

DIED, on the 2nd of Dec 1872, Mt the
residence of her husband, near Ninety
Six, S. c., Mrs. MARY l.. HILL, wife
of LoD HILL, Esq, and daughter Of
NATHAN L. GRIFFIN, Esq, deceased.
A true Christian has passed from earth
to Heaven. She embraced the religion
Of Jesus, and was baptized in 1889, when
but II years old. For A3 years she re-
manned faithful member of the Baptist
Church, illustrating in her public and
private walk the virtues and graces that
should adorn the Christian woman. 2"
During the last eight years of her life,
she was affiictedwith Cancer the breast.
She bore her privations and intense suf
ferings with signal fortitude and patience.
Standing for long time on the very
border of the grave. she had ample op-
portunity to test her trust in the Re-
deemer of sinners. How sweet and
precious was this trust, amid; the trials
of that long, sad ministers OF sickness
and pain!
Apparently recovered from the Cancer,
she was f1attered with the prospect of
long. and happy life. Her friends were
shocked at the unexpected tidings of her
death from pneumonia, after an illness
of ten days. ~
She has finished her course, fought
the good fight" and now rests in peace.
Her youthful piety and life time fidelity
to Jesus, her moral courage and patient
endurance, her arhiable spirit and gentle
demeanor are worthy OF record and imi
tation. The light of her home, the joy
and comfort of her family circle, she
will be tenderly remem bored by those
who knew and loved her best,
THE writer of these lines would pay
this humble tribute to departed worth.
Farewell, dear friend and sister. We
must feel and weep at our loss, but our
hearts are solaced with the hope OF a
happy reunion in the better land,"-
the home Of undimmed and undyipg
felicity. l..i- A FRIEND.

JASPER and Mrs. MARY A. CLARK, died
near Sister Springs on Monday 1lth
November, aged three years, five months
and eighteen days.
Death is at all times sad, but it be-
comes doubly so when we record the
loss of the young and lovely. This
beautiful child was the idol of her de-
voted parents; and so completely was
every thought absorbed in her, that they
seemed to forget the bud Of promise is
only ours in anticipation"
Dear little Ella She never had wish
ungratified. Long will her sweet en-
gaging ways and precious words be re-
membered; butweep not, lonely parents;
your little ono has gone trustingly and
jearlessly into the presence of tho Great
Redeemer, who hath said "Suffer little
children to come unto me,-for of such
is the Kingdom of Heaven"

an executor who paid over to the Confed-

acts Of that government, legacy left by
q Northern testator cannot now be COM

with government which the whole naval

could not subdue under four years, and
having yielded to the duress of de tacto'
