A DESTRUCTIVE TonNADo.-On the 2lst
ult., tornado Of tremendous power
passed over the lower portion OF st.
Helena Island. On B. B. Goodman's
plantation tho dwelling house, two sto-
relics in height, WAS lifted from the
underpinning and carried distance of
twelve feet and entirely wrecked. Mr..
Goodman's family fortunately was absent
on visit. Several negro houses and
corn houses in the neighborhood were
destroyed.
Air. Jones, the new Senator from Ne
vada, is said to be the first native of

most significant sigus of the times. and
ot -ths RhaD6a for the better in Northern
sslstment, ia the recent election of Mr..
stephens to Congress, aud the approv-
rng comments:of4the Northern press. Of
altE parties. np0ns the fact. But very
spdh San Intention would have raised a
shfiek OF ''loilty' throughout North and
South, which wonld have been terrific:
and very possibly new detachments OF
the military would have been sent into
Georgia. For Mr.. Stephens has not
only been, o. "rebel," but actually Vice.
President OF the Southern Confederacy,
and one OF the chief actors in the great
drama OF secession.
Moreover, Mr.. Stephens has had the
manhood never to profess penitence, or
regret for the part he played --has made
no concessions to power, uor sweryed a
hairs breadth from the princi oles of
strict construction and Jeffersonian De-
mocracy, OF which he is to-day a cham.
plon. With undated powers of intel
iect, and full of fight'as ever, a powerful
engine encased in frail steamer-he
goes to Washington to insist on equal
rights for his people.
Again, We repeat, that the choice of
suoh a man-immed;atsly following that
OF Gen. Gordon, an equally representa-
tive man-with the approval. even the
iaudation Of the Northern press-conclu-
siseiy proves that we are approaching a
new phase in our politics again, and may
hope for an early restoration of the era
OF good feeling, succeeding the era of
bad feeling and fraternal hate, which has
!aeted now eight years after the last man
laid down his arms at the close of the
unequal contest.
Thereis no abler parliamentarian liv.
ing than Dir. Stephens; nor any man
who comprehends better the actual atti.
tude and needs of the Southern States
and OF his own constituency. With a
spirit rs strong HI his frame is frail, we
predict for him q prominent and dis.
tinguished part in the next Congress, in
which he will be most conspicuous

A private letter from Salina County.
Kansas, February 25, tells OF the end of
noted character in characteristic West
ern fashion: "Wild Bill'-you remember
him?-has been killed. A gentleman
from Texas, whose brother the wild one
had sent to the spirit land. came up to
Kansas to have shot at William. He
shot the wild William az dead that he
never quivered. Think Of mans bny.
ing grand horse and riding him 900
miles, just to kill fellow. When the
Texan shot Wild Bill, he asked the
crowd in the bar-room if any gentleman
had desire to "mi1 In" if so, he would
wait until he ''heeled," and take great
pleasure in killing him. No gentleman
expressing desire to be killed, the
Texan got on his horse. and remarking
that he had business in Texas, slowly
started for the Lone Star State.

BROOKS AND ELL1orr-AN INCIDENT IN
THE House The Washington Chronicle
says:
AS soon as the vote on the question
OF cansuring Mr.. Brooks was announced
from the CHAIR, Mr. Brooks rose from his
seat and approached Mr.. Rainey's and
MIR. Elliott's seuts.
Mr. Elliot was standing little in
rear OF his seat, and was surrounde by q
dozen or more persons, when Mr.. Brooks
approached aud extended his hand, and
grasping the hand of Mr.. Elliott in n
cordial manner, said, substantially:
Mr.. Elliott, from the bottom OF nv
heart, thank you for the vote You have
just now recorded. For years past, I
have been the opponent of your race. I
appreciate highly the fact that in this,
the hour oi my adversely, when am
deserted by men of my own race, whom
| have stood by in the past, you and
a1r. Rainey have ignored all preiudices,
and have acted justly. I desire TO assure
you that in the future shall, by nv
humble voice and influence, be as ready
to protect and vindicate the rights and
ald the advancement Of your racs as I
shall my own
"Mr. Elliott replied: Sir, I thank you
heartily for this assurance of your good
will toward me and mine. Mine was no
ensy task, but l thank God that He
gave mo the fortitude necessary to over
come those feelings of prejudice to which
you have alluded. did for you, sir.
what would, under like circumstances.
have done for any one else. Under the
solemn obligations of my oath as Rep.
resentativc, l looked not upon you as q
political opponent, but as an American
Representative, who had right to de-
mand Judgment founded upon the law
and evidence. I voted against the reso-
luton. because, in my humble judgment,
you were clearly entitled to suoh vote
ut my hands l agnin thank you for
your expressions OF good will"
Kever Miller, an industrious and fru-
gal colored man, died in this town last
Tuesday mig bit, of typhoid foyer. Kever
had gathered together quite respecta

was taken sick, told us he intended to
buy him farm next fall, "and show
those lazy men of his raco who hang
around town, drinking up what little
money they earned, that colored man,
il he worked and saved what he earned,
could get along as well in this County as
anybody else, white or colored, in any
part Of the South" Kever was much re-
spected by all classes. and his death is
greatly regretted. Union Times.

Prospect Of a Spring Session.

The feeling which has been suspected
for some time.in the House, in favor of
spring session, manifested itself for the
motion to limit the general debate on the
postal appropriation bill, and later in the
attempt TO prevent going into committee on
the bill, and the refusal to agree either to
evening Or II A. NJ. sessions. Gen. Butler
was the most prominent opponent Of the
restriction on time for debate, but the
House decided against him, and would
have insisted on going on at once with the
business, had not the usual hour for adj
journment arrived. Evening sessions will
probably begin next week, and the appro-
priation bill pushed as rapidly as possible

FUNDING THE STATE DEBT

Considerable interest is being manifested
at Nashville, among members of the Leg
islature as well as by outsiders, on the
question of funding the public debt, as
proposed by Governor Brown in his late
message. He, it will be remembered,
favors funding the whole debt, principal
and interest. There is party in the Leg
islature, which favors funding the past due
interest, but thinks the sweeping PROPOSE
ton of the Governor TO fund the whole
debt, is unwise if not absurd. They say
the creditors of the State will care no more
for new bond than an old one, and as it
will add nothing to the credit of the
State, the large expense for funding
should be avoided. They hold that we are
under obligations for the payment of past
due interest, and as it can not be paid, the
next best thing is to fund it.
There is still another party, opposed to
funding any part of the debt. They say
there is no reason why the bonds not vet
due should be funded. They argue that
to fund the past due interest would add
more than quarter of a million annually
to our interest account, and that if bonds
are issued to run forty years, at the end of
that time we will have paid over ten mil
lions interest and still owe the amount now
due.
The question has not been discussed in
either House, but we understand there las
been lively time in committee meetings.
The party opposed to funding holds that
the Governors scheme would leave too
much margin for dishonest officials who
might have the disposal of bonds, if there
were such.

THE recent exposures in the Credit Mo-
bilier transaction and the bribery in State
Legislatures in the election of United
States Senators have ruined the business
of the lobbyists in Congress. They are so
unpopular there now that it is hard for
them to get any chance to ply their bust
ness. If it serves to drive them entirely
from Washington, all the modification
caused by the recent exposures will have
ample compensation. All measures haV-
ing the faint of corruption are dead for
this session at least.

THE Cincinnati Gazette comes 20 Us in
an eight page form, geographically i'm
proved and more modern in its appearance.
We are glad to see this evidence OF increas-
ed patronage and circulation. We regard
the Gazette as one of the very best papers
in the West. While independent in its
political views, it does not feel called upon
to show its independence by unmerited
abuse of the Republican party and its lead
ers. The tone Of the paper is high and
the character of its news unexcepticna-
BILE.
1t has in Gen. Boynton, its Washington
correspondent, all able, fearless and honest
journalist, who has given that department
of its news avery high character.

THE Chicago Tribune, edited by man
OF no heart and of little principle, takes the
present opportunity to cast all manner of
reproach upon Schuyler Colfax. White
law Reid, of the New York Tribune, who
was lately to lose his seat to give way to
Colfax. shows bad taste in similar abuse.
To all such assaults Mr.. ColfaX's friends
can look without fear. They can do
him no harm. His character is now
in issue before the country, but until
he is finally heard in his defense
his hitherto blameless life and high char
acter will be remembered by thoughtful
persons before judgment is passed. There
are few men who have ever been in public
life as long as Mr.. Colfax who did not COM
NIT some errors. To condemn him now,
as the two Tribuees do, as perjurer, bride
taker and swindler, for the offence with
which he is now charged would be to put
him in the same list with the corrupt men
whose whole life has been full of the worst
of crimes. Until forced to such Judgment
by the final verdict of the committee OF
unquestionable evidence, the public will
have that charity that is usually conceded
to men of such high character.

THOSE who are laboring to make our
people better by giving the rising genera
ton an education and teaching them to be
industrious ought to find the following
facts potent arguments for future use. The
Memphis avalanche says:
OF the seven hundred and fiftyfOur con-
victs in the Tennessee PeniteDtiary at the
last report, only lightweight had ever
learned trades. Nearly all had reached
manhood without any definite avocation.
Perhaps most of them were ...jacks Of all
trades and masters of none" Having
been idlers in boyhood, they naturally re-
manned idlers. An idle brain is the "dev-
IFS workshop" Even idlers must live;
if not by fair, by foul means; and idleness
finally drifted these men into felons' cells.
This is busy, bustling world, in which it
is ordained that only those who SOW shall
reap, Society expects something more
from boys than idleness and vagabondage
when they grow into mans estate. The
stamp of 'idler" as utterly destroys a
young mans hopes of a life's usefulness
as though he were stretched on the fatal
bed of Procrusteus.
