Color BLINDNESS. The evidence given at
an in Inquest upon the victims of the railroad
collision near Workers. New York, exhibited
the fact that color blindness Is more frequent
than is generally supposed Thus,i reference to
to the signai light at IoDkers, six witnesses
testified tina. it was red and FIVE that it was
white The accident was caused by locomo-
tive running down the track supposed to be
clear. but which wa- really occupied by m ad
varc!ng train unler these circumstances the
color Of the signal whether Of danger or Of
salty. was IL matter Of Importance in the inves-
tigation. The difficulty, however. Of arriving
at the proper conclusion was SO great that the
Jury brought in two veracts-tha' of the ma.
iority finding that nobody was to blame, while
that cl the minority ccnsurcd the engineer Of
!hc runaway locomotive. This ,or blindness.
may also have affected the engineers Of the
respective locomotives as we'll as the spectators
of the accident and thc circumstance should
act as warning to railway companies to cx-
anime their employees not only as to their
qualifications as mechanics but also as to the
imperiections Of their eyes.

Democratic Victory In Texas.

. The recent election in Texas has been an
overwelming victory for The Democrats, with
majority larger than was anticipated. The
Governor and State officers are chosen by q
majority of nearly 10000 for the Democratic
candidates. Hon. Richard Coke, of Waco, is
the successful candidate for Governor, defeat
ing the present incumbent, Edmund J. Davis,
who was the Republican standard-bearer. The
Legislature just elected will have the choice of
9 Unite6 States Senator to succeed Joseph W.
Flanagan, Republican, whose term expires in
1875. One after another of the reconstructed
States wheels into line, and the redemption of
the whole South draws near. The Radical
grasp viii be longest retained upon South Car
olina and Louisiana, but we shall not despair
Of their ultimate release from the thraldom of
oppression and the corrupt proaigacy of un-
principled officials. Already, the alarm is
sounding in the Radical camps, whose leaders
are fearful of stampede which will sweep
away their control of the negro element, hth'
erto unbroken in its serried ranks.

The Cincinnati Southern Railroad.

The trustees of the Cincinnati Southern
Railroad, on Saturday last, let contract for
the construction of the Kings Mountain Tun-
nel-the work to be commenced in ten days,
and to be completed in eighteen months. The
road is also located for eighty miles from South
Danville, KY, to Chitwood, on the Tennessee
line. which is the old military survey. This
action on the part of Cincinnati is timely and
means business. The embarrassments and
delays in the path of its projectors have caused
the Cincinnati Southern Railroad to be looked
upon as among the distant probabilities, but
the removal Of these distractions for the most
part, and the activity of other points in secur-
ing a direct connection with the interior of
the South, induces the present awakening to
live and energetic work. The original purpose
was to build connecting link with the Blue
Ridge Railroad at Knoxville, but that idea
was abandoned after time and Chattanoc ga
was selected as the terminal point, which was
likewise set aside. The present location within
the limits of Kentucky indicates an affiliation
with either point, as may be deemed best suited
to the interests Of Cincinnati. One thing is
certain, this project is the pioneer in the. way
of an effort by the West to build an indepen-
dent line, which would penetrate the Southern
country, and we wish it every SUCCESS, The
proposal to invest s1o,oOo,0Oo in securing the
trade of the South has business-like aspect.

OBITUARY.
MARY ELEANOR sTRINGBl

MARY ELEANOR STRINGBR, (wife of
A. J. Stringer, of Belton 8. c., was born Dec.
3lst, 1916, and died from Puerperal Fever, Dec.
9Th, 1878, aged 26 years, II months and days.
She was born Of the Spirit and consecrated
herself to the service of Christ in early life;
united with the Baptist Church and remained
useful and devoted member, until translated
to the Church Triumphant in Heaven. She
was amiable and lovely in all her department: !:
as Christian, meek, humble and relying, car
rying about in her body the image Of our Lord
Jesus Christ; rs mother, patient, tender and
forbearlng; as wife, devotedly attached to
the husband Of her choice, striving at all times
to make her home quiet, happy retreat into
which her beloved companion and friends could
continually resort and find sympathy in trials,
a cheerful greeting when the outside world
scoff or taunt. So gentle and loving, so Christ
like, was she, that unkind words, unthoughted
expressions, murmuring at the treatment Of
friends, Or the dealings of her Heavenly Fa-
ther, seldom, if ever, escaped her lips.
She leaves mother, brothers, husband, two
darling children, Zone just budded forth,) q
host of kindred and friends to mourn over her
early departure. But they should not MUIR
muir, nor mourn excessively, as she is now de-
llvered from tie evils of this present world; her
spirit is resting in the realms Of the blest, and
her corruptible body, which now rests in the
quiet churchyard, will soon come forth glorifed
to meet the spirit in the air. And those who
now mourn will also have passed away, or be
changed, and if found clothed with the right
eousness of Christ, will meet her where part
ing will be no more. Let this glorious thought
revive the courage and dropping spirits of
grief-stricken ones, and let them strive more
earnestly to obtain that world, and the resur-
rection from the dead that they with her may
enter into that rest which remains for the peo-
pie of God. NJ. II.
DIED, at Anderson, 8. c., of rheumatic fe-
yer, on the morning Of the 5th instant, in the
fifth year of her age, little SARAH CHURCH
WHITNER, daughter of B. F. and Anna
Church Whitner.

WashinqtOn News and Gossip.

The nomination of Hon. George Fl. Will
liams for Chief Justice of the United States
has not yet been confirmed by the Senate.
President Grant has made an unfortunate Sc
lection, if we may judge by the tenor of the
comments made by the Republican press and
the evident unwillingness of his friends in the
Senate to approve his choice.
Gen. O. O. Howard, of the Freedmans Bu-
eau is charged by the Secretary of War with
defalcations to the amount of $27S,573 during
his connection with that benefcent institution
The House of Representatives has referred the
communication to the Committee on Military
Affairs, with instructions to report resolution
for the court martial of all army officers impli-
Gated thereby. The sanctimonious Howard
held undisputed sway in the management of
the enormous sums appropriated to the Freed
mans Bureau, and it is no wonder that por-
tion adhered to his fingers, since this is the
fashion of his kind.
Hon. A. II. Stephens has signalized his re-
turn to Congress by defence of the salary
grab, in speech last Thursday. He opposes
the repeal of the salary bill, whereby the pay
of members was increased, and believes that
the representatives of the people are not sufi-
ciently paid for the services rendered. His
speech was listened to with profound attention,
and the aisles and galleries were filled with
spectators. Gen. Butler was the first to con-
gratulate Mr.. Stephens upon his manly asser-
tions
The Senate committee on privileges and cleo
! tons failed to agree upon decision in the
contest between Mcmillan and Pinchbeck, the
Senators elected by the respective factions in
Louisiana Senator Morton moved to seat
Pinchbeck on the prinaa .facie evidence. The
Senate had not acted upon this resolution at
last accounts.
The surrender of the Virginius still attracts
much attention. She will be carried to a
Northern port, instead of Charleston. Secre-
tary Fish announces his belief that Spain will
redeem the terms of the protocol, and there is
nothing likely to occur which will prevent
peaceful termination of the troubles.
Gen. Spinner, the United States Treasurer,
is suffering from a severe illness, and contem-
plates an early visit to Florida for the restora-
tion of his health. He will be the guest OF
Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, at her winter res
idence in the Land of Flowers.

Santa Claus will soon make the annual
round, and those wishing to know the exact
locality Of his operations can receive much
information by calling upon J. r. FAINT, at
the Benson House, where will be found an ex'
cellent assortment of toys, contectioneries,
fireworks and tropical fruits. Every novelty
of the season has been procured for this estab'
lishment, and prices are moderated to suit the
times. - i
The cotton trade has been exceedingly active
during the past week. Prices have been ad'
vancing slightly, and this has induced the
farmers to place their cotton on the market
Perhaps more cotton has changed hands withln
the last ten days than at any previous time
during the season. 4 large number of bales
are awaiting shipment at the depot, although
the railread authorities are making every effort
to reduce the pile. Want CT facilities, however
causes much delay in the business, and prove:
very annoying to buyers.

Efter Kimpton.

Tie Charleston Ne,rs and Courier learns
that some of the stockholders of the Greenville
and Columbia Railroad, through Messrs. Earle
& Blythe, of Greenville, have fled bill in
the United States Circuit Ceart against b. ID.
Kimpton, for the purpose of oVerhauling vari-
eus transactions during his reign as director
and financial agent of that corporation. This
is a move in the right direction, and we hope
to witness vigorous prosecution of the suit
proposed. The rascality and villainy concoc-
ted or carried out by Kimpton, in his manipu-
lation of the finances, ought to be unearthed.
