just. not 80 say infamous, and should be
resisted. by all lawful means. We were
not aware that it had been established
that there are any citizens of this County
who can legally claim the benefit of this
tax. It has been asserted that the MUIR
derers OF Harry Shelton and Nancy
Coleman were those who were popularity
known as Ku Klux, but no proof has
ever been, offered to substantiate suoh
an assertion, nor have any parties ever
been arrested charged with the killing of
those unfortunate persons. This action
on the part of the Comptroller General,
is deserving of the severeat condemna-
ton, and should be denounced in the
plainest and most forcible terms.
To assert that persons have been mur-
dered or maltreated in this County on
account OF their political opinions, is to
assert that which is not sustained by any
evidence whatever. It is false and
cowardly imputation upon the law-abid-
ing character Of our people, and wo so
stigmatize it. The great Injustice of tho
law is patent. It makes parties living
without the confines of the County, who
own property in it, responsible for acts
in the commission of which they had no
agency whatever. Gould anything be
more outrageous or atrooious? And yet
Mr.. Hoge sayg we must pay this tax.
We soy, boldly and emphatically, don't
pay this tnx. Make an issue on it, and
carry it before tho highest legal tribunal
in the State.
TO the General Assembly we soy, re-
peal this monstrous imposition called u
tax. To Gov. Moses we say, use your
official influence to have this iniquitous
measure Immediately repealed. If you
decline to interfere, and trouble ensues,
then upon your shoulders be tho awful
responsibility. We do not counsel strife
and bloodshed, but when government
fails 10 protect it's subjects then it is high
time that those subjects provide meal
to protect themselves. = Winnsboro Ne,os.

WORTHY OF NoTIoE-It will be re-
membered that number of Ku Klux
prisoners left here on Tuesday OF las.
week for New York, by the steamer
James Adger, Capt. Thomas Lockwood.
These prisoners were in charge of United
States officials, and, according to the
terms Of transportation, were only onti-
tied to restricted privileges in tho ship.
Capt. Lockwood, Of the Adger, who is
as kind hearted man ns he is IN expe-
rienced seaman, as soon as these unfor-
tunates fell to his treatment, disposed of
them in manner far different from whnt
they expected would be tho course-al-
lowed them the use of the cabin, pro-
vided them with state rooms, oxtrn CO.
vering, and in numerous ways evinced q
kindliness OF heart towards them de-
serving Of moro enduring record than is
here insured. The prisoners themselves
were completely overwhelmed with gra-
titude. and not one that left that noble
ship failed to bear away with him memo
ries that doubtless now arc lighting up
the dark hours that necessarily invest
their lives. Charleston Courier.

The City of Washington.

HALIFAX, July IA.
The steamer NJ A. Starr arrived here
from Port lie Bear yesterday p. M, with
Captain, officers and crew of the steamer
City of Washington, and 140 Storage pas
sengcrs who had been left behind on Thurs
day The latter were Immediately trans
ferred to the steamer Somerset and sailed
for Boston at o'clock One passenger,
an Irish woman, was takenin labor on board
the NJ A. Star, and gave birth to child
shortly after lbeing carried on board the
Somerset. Capt. Phillips and officers and
some of the crew, will remain to give tes-
timony at the official investigation. The
remainder will go to England in the Mes
torican tomorrow.
TIE INVESTIGATION.
The official inquiry was commenced this
morning. There is nothing new to report
from the wreck. 1t lies in the same posi-
ton Capt. Sheridan, and Mr.. Devens and
Mr.. Kerr of the customs department are in
charge. The sweeping charge is made by
Col. Parncll, one of the cabin passengers,
against the officers and crew, accusing
them of acknowledgement and incompetency
both before and after the disaster caused
no little establishment here inasmuch rs he
had signed the testimonial to the opposite
of what he published. Captain j. p.
Hammond, who was also cabin passen-
ger on the City of Washington, pronoun-
ces the statement of Farnell to be highly
exaggerated and devoid of truth. Captain
Hammond says there was thorough dis
cipline and that good watch was kept
during the entire voyage. He is compe-
tent, as he never left the deck any night
before 10 or o'clock.
There were always two officers on the
bridge and two men on the lookout. He
is of the opinion that the disaster was due
altogether to deviation of the compasses
as the ships course was II correct one
The statement of Col. Powell that there
was lack of discipline, cursing, swearing
and confusion at the time the ship struck,
and after the passengers landed, Capt
Hammond pronounces untrue. lie is of
the opinion that the ships officers did all
that could possibly be done under the cir
cumstances for the comfort of the passen-
gers. Provisions in abundance were fur
nished to ALL and everybody appeared salts
fed. Capt. Hammond is a seaman of
much experience, and his opinion regard
ing the disaster is looked upon as impor-

SODA FOUNTAIN ExPIosroN. On yester-
day morning about nine o'clock as Geo.
f. Graves, a druggist on Main st near the
corner of West street, was in the act of
charging the soda fountains, four in num-
Der, in his back shop, one of them already
charged, which stood in the middle room
between the store and back shop where Mr..
Graves was at work, exploded, with re-
port like the firing of cannon. The top
was found to have bursted within an inch
of the bottom and thrown through two
inch board used for a shelf and up through
the ceiling, tearing large hole in the lath
and plaster overhead, where it stopped and
was thrown back to the floor where it lay
in battered condition. Mr.. Graves had
charged it as usual and can give no reason
for the explosion. Had the explosion oc-
Cured minute or two later Mr.. Graves
would have been at work near the identical
fountain so he considers it a fortunate es-
cape for him, as no material damage was
done.

REUNION OF TIE Sous OF WOODSTOCK.
1t is contemplated to hold reunion of
the widely scattered children of Wood
stock, at the old homestead, during the
present season. The people of that beau
tiful town desire it and will put forth every
effort to give her absent sons and daughters
a becoming reception. This is a fitting
thing to do on the part of one of the Oldest
towns, which has sent forth so many gal
liant men and women to grace and adorn,
and build up other sections of the country.
The natives and former residents of Wood
stock who approve of the suggestion and
will add by their presence and cooperation
are requested at once to place themselves
in communication with Henry S. Mower,
Gilsey House, New York City.

The Church of England.
rs TYRANNY TOWARD CATHOLICISM.

IT'S TYRANNY TOWARD CATHOLICISM.
LONDON. July IA.
In the Chamber of Peers this evening
Lords Iiranmore and Brounc read the
Archbishop's reply to the church associ-
alton showing tendency in the Church of
England towards Catholicism, and moved
that committee he appointed to consider
what legislation is needed to check the
evil. He supported the motion in long
speech, in the course of which he read pas
sages from the petition of 4S3 clergymen
of the Established church, asking for the
appointment of confcssors, and the re-
storation of the Popish practices which in
formation abolished. He wanted to know
by what consistency English clergymen
holding such doctrines retained their po-
sitons in the church.
The Bishop of Canterbury, said the no.
BILE lord had stated the question fairly. 1t
was no wonder that the popular feeling
was working upon this subject. There
was good cause for alarm. The power of
the bishops to remedy abuses should be in
creased.
The Bishop of Salisbury declared that
the position taken by Lord Dunmore was
unassailable, but he thought the motion in
opportune. Confessional was so contrary
to British feeling that an attempt to intro
duce it could only be considered wild and
visionary. The 4S3 clergymcn who had
signed the petition constituted only q per
cent of the. clerical body of the church
The Archbishop of York expressed the
opinion that whatever was done in this
matter should come from the church, not
the legislature. He therefore was opposed
to the motion, but he declared he would
make every exertion to prevent the prayer
book from becoming Romanized.
The motion was then negatived, and
their Lordships rose.

Mysterious and Horrible Murder,

PHILADELPHIA, July a.
A despatch from West Chester, Pa, re-
ports another mysterious and horrible MUIR
der on June Both. A stranger arrived at

and was an agent giving no name or fur
Their particulars. He was in appearance
not over thirty, with black whiskers. On
the following day team driven by one
VIM Z Udderzook stopped at the tavern
and the agent was invited bv Undertook to
take a ride.
He accepted and they went away to-
gether. The team had been hired by I'd
derzook. at Parker's livery, andhe returned
ii in the evening, when the person who
took charge of it remarked that there was
blood on the wagon. Undertook made
plausible explanation of the circumstance
and Immediately left the neighborhood.
The strange man was never afterward
seen alive. On Friday last it was noticed
that large number of buzzards were ho-
vering about the woods short distance
off Newport and Grays Pike, between the
villages of Cochranville and Pennington
vile. A man at length went to the place
to see what they were after and found I'M
earthed the head and body of man, and
his arms and legs, which were seperate
from the body. He gave notice to the
neighborhood, and the horribly mutilated
body was eventually recognized az that of
the stranger who had been stopping at
Tennersville.
A jury is empanelled by the deputy cor
oner, but the verdict is sealed and has not
yet been handed over to the coroner. The
murdered man was stabbed in three or four
places, his throat cut, and beth arms and
both legs were severed close to the body.
Undertook cannot be found. He is or was
until lately on the Baltimore police force.
He has red wiskers, The object of the
murder was undoubtedly for plumber. No
clothes were found except pairof shoes.
1t was reported that the man was known to
have a considerable sum Of money on his
person. The severed limbs were buried in
a separate spot from the body, not far
from the house of one Rhodes Brother. in
the care of the supposed murderer.
