Two murders are chronicled this morning.
one of which occurred in Jersey City, the
other in Brooklyn. The Jersey crime was the
murder of a mother by her son-a natural
pendent to the Walworth murder, and perhaps
in some degree consequence Of the doctrine
of that case that to kill ones parents is some
times excusable. if not praiseworthy. II
society once admits that there can be
any palliation for such an atrocious
crime it must admit that the paliiation
may differ for different cases, and thus
instead of the definite barrier of the law, we
place only the opinion Of a boy as to whether
or no the provocation he has received ID one
with which jury can be made to sympa-
thize But we believe this Jersey murderer
will experience to his cost that he did not
shoot his mother on this side the
river. The other murder is one of the
old standard sort-one of the typical class
that can be found by the hundred in the New
gate calendar and similar records. Two
sailors quarrelled in their cups, and one
stabbed the other and was soon after caught.
There. however, the parallel will probably end,
for in the old fashioned cases there would have
been in two or three days trial lasting hall
an hour and an execution on the following
Friday Now there will be months or years
of litigation, and the murderer at last may
slip away through some bubble of the lawyers.

WATER ON THE BAR.-In Congress it is held
this city is safe from damage by foreign IRON
clads, because they all draw too much water to
get over the bar. Hereupon Mr.. Cox re-
marked that our harbor had been filing up
for years with ashes and refuse; but Mr..
Crooke, of Brooklyn, raped Mr.. Cox's
knucl1les with the observation that there was
the same quantity of water on the bar now
that there was two hundred years ago, and
that New York members ought to know it
Brooklyn members, in their turn, ought to
know that members from this side have
better acquaintance with everything else on
the bar than with the water.

TIE ASSEMBLY, STANDING CoMNnTTEEs.
The principal work done at Albany yesterday
WAS the PRONUNCIATION of the formation of the
standing committees of the Assembly. There
was o great deal of disappointment among
members, as there always is, because all the
members Of body numbering upwards of
hundred cannot be put in one of the half
dozen important places. But ct Albany the
attractive element in certain places on COM
mittees Is financial one. Places are good or
bad according as they are or are not on COM
mittees worth buying, and as gentlemen are
not sent to Albany principally to sell out their
law-making power their dissatisfaction with
the places assigned them on committees is Of
small moment to the public.

A BEA UIIFUL SPECIMEN or iSCULP-
T,TCPE

On Monday last we were shown by Mr.. T.
NJ. White, in his marble yard at this place.
most beautiful specimen of sculpture 1t con-
sists of a boquet representing the choicest
garden flowers Of the South, beautifully ar
ranged with artistic skill and taste, and sculp-
tured on the front of a marble tomb for Mrs.
Edwards. The whole tomb is a specimen of
the best workmanship, and was executed by
Mr.. Samuel Murphy; the boquet by young
Bavarian named Marx Gerber. We visited
the room of Mr.. Gerber, and were shown two
beautiful designs gotten up by himselfwithout
a model to guide him. One Of the designs rep
resents young girl in a flowing robe, half
kneeling, with the left hand on the heart, while
in the right, which hung by her side, she car
ried wreath of flowers. The other design
represents child sleeping. Both are exquisite,
and evinced considerable skill and taste In the
most splendid of all arts, sculpture. Mr.. Ger
ber is quite genius, and should be encouraged.
He is his own designer in whatever he under
takes, and first forms his model from common
blue clay, and afterwards from plaster Of paris.
We also seen a specimen of southern marble
from the neghboring State Of Georgia, which
was pretty good.

no effect as yet There ought to be bridge
here, as the milling, religious and social inter
ests of the community demand it. The creek
at this point is as large or larger than Rocky
River opposite Anderson G. II. The mills,
falls and about thirty acres of land, called al
together the Mill Tract can be bought low, and
are certainly worth from $4,000 to $4,000:
We would suggest if these falls have received
no name yet, that they be called "Mio Falls, u
to correspond with the name of the splendid
mill which the energetic proprietor has put up
for the benefit of the public. If we mistake
not, these falls we're owned formerly by MIR.
Ben. Sloan, the former owner of Pendleton
Factory, who contemplated erecting a large
factory in that quarter, in all probability.
After being worried nearly out of breath
rambling around the falls, we returned to the
house and tried to buy the cotton, but failed.
We got our horse and buggy and took the road,
and after four mile drive, found ourselves at
the house of our FRIEND Capt. d. l.. H., who
treated US so kindly that we are certain we will
never forget him. The Captain is true type
of the South Carolina gentleman, and we be-
lieve he is all right, only he has never yet mar
ried single time.
We returned to Anderson next day, where
we found few of the boys whiting on sticks,
and others telling tales, for there was nothing
else to do. One fellow asked us if we had any
fried chickens in the buggy.
AS to politics, we never heard it mention
ed, nor did we hear of any candidates. There
is hardly any understanding or timber
deadening' going on yet All want the roads
worked, and say they must be worked by the
next County Commissioners elected, or they
(the people) will have to stay at home.

DEATHS.

We are sad to announce that again the angel
of death has entered happy family circle and
stolen from thence one of it's brightest and
most valued jewels, in the person of little Mil
lie Belle, daughter of our esteemed townsman,
Dr. J. w. Gurley. She died from teething on
Thursday evening last, the 18th inst, and was
buried in the Baptist graveyard. The de-
ceased was only two years old. Our sympa-
thies are with the bereaved parents in their
affiiction over the loss of a dearly loved child.
Mrs. Margaret Gasaway, an estimable lady,
living in the lower portion Of the County, died
at her residence on Friday last, after linger-
ing and painful illness. The deceased was ad-
vanced in years. being at the time of hcr death
SO years old She was the mother of Mrs.
Dawson in town.
Mr.. William Long, an old and highly respec-
table citizen of our County, died at his resi-
dencc, South Of this place, On Saturday morn
ing last, from an attack Of bilious cramp collie.
The deceased was i'll but short while before
he died the attack being violent. He was IN
his 18th year at the time of his death, and had
always been true citizen.

THE FLORAL FEAST.

This entertainment took place in the Masonic
Hall on Friday evening last, and proved
grand success. Despite the rain and darkness,
the feast was well attented and much enjoyed,
both on account of the luxurious edibles which
crowned the heavily laden tables and the taste
full and beautiful manner in which the Hall
and tables were decorated. Festoons OF How
ers and evergreens intertwined, were graceful
ly trained around the walls, and vase chanoe-
liers reflected the brilliant rays from number
less candles. The tables, besides containing
every variety of food of the best kind, were
decked to advantage with beautifully arranged
boquets, made and placed there by fair hands,
we'll adapted to such a pleasant task. We un-
derstand that the ladies realized from the feast
sum amounting to about one hundred dollars,
which will aid them somewhat in their lauda-
BILE undertaking. We wish them much success
in whatever they undertake.

and was looking we'll.
The cotton market has been active for the
past week, and closed yesterday evening at
l6 to 161 cents for middlings.
The Union Times informs us that Hon. r.
Munro has been confined to his home for some
weeks from acute rheumatism. The numerous
friends of Judge Munro in this community
will regret to hear of his illness.
It is said great calm often precedes great
storm, and the same will answer in politics.
All are calm now, but look out for general
awakening next month. Politicians are get
ting ready their dlow guns.
Tho sale of delinquent lands for taxes COM
menced on Monday last, and will terminate to-
morrow, (Friday). The County Treasurer eX-
tended the time for the purpose OF allowing
delinquent payers to come forward and
redeem their lands.
Court convencs at this place on Monday next,
the 25th inst, and we learn that the term will
be limited one as Judge Cooke proposes only
to clear the criminal docket. There are only
about eight criminal cases to be tried. The
civil dock will be continued until the fall term,
as his Honor very wisely wishes to let the
farmers take advantage of the time and wealth
or for the benefit of the crops.
BY visiting the Drug Store of Messrs. Benson
& Sharpe, a great curiosity may be seen IN the
way of chicken preserved in alcohol, which
has two beaks, ono eye in tho centre OF the
forehead, which contained two eye-balls, and
also an eve on either side of the head. This
curiosity was furnished by Mr.. w. j. Hembree,
of this County.
A gentleman from beyond the Savannah
river came into town a few days ago, and en-
tered one of our mercantile establishments and
called for a pair of No. II brogans. Trying
them on, he was observed to tug and sweat,
and when finally it was evident he could not
succeed, it was suggested by votary of John
Barleycorn, who sat near by, pretty full, to
put on a light pair of socks and try on the shoe
box Gentleman from beyond the river got
indignant and left.

The Blue Ridue Railroad.

The sale of the Blue Ridge Railroad, adver-
tised to take place in Charleston on Thursday
last has been postponed until the 22nd of Oc-
tobcr next. This action is in accord with the
wishes of the bondholders, who are the real
owners of the property, and will give time for
an effective combination to secure the compile
ton of the road We are gratifed to observe
that the Charleston Chamber of Commerce is
moving in the right direction to obtain fair
and unbiased consideration of this route to the
West The following preamble and resolution
were unanimously adopted by that body on
Thursday afternoon, and we learn that infuen-
tal capitalists express great confidence in the
scheme to secure Congressional assistance III
demonstrating the necessity and practicability
of this route:
Whereas, the Senate of the United States
has under consideration the adoption of prac-
tcal steps for connecting the Mississippi River
and its tributaries with the Atlantic Ocean, as
measure of national policy and duty; and
whereas, the people of this State and city have
already made great progress in the same dlrec-
tions without congressional aid and whereas,
it is believed that survey OF the country
lying between the Tennessee River and the
railroad systems of Georgia, North and South
Carolina, will demonstrate that the shortest
and most practicable route lies by railroad from
the junction of the Tennessee and Hiwassee
Riverup the valley of the latter river to Clayton,
Georgia. and thence via Athens on the one
side and Anderson on the other, to deep-watcr
therefore,
Resolued, That our senators and representa-
tives in Congress be and are respectfully re-
ouested to use their best exertions to obtain an
appropriation of $4,000 for the purpose of
making survey ola double track freight rail,
road from the junction of the Tennessee and
Hwassee Rivers, thence up the Valley of the
Hiwassee to Clayton, Georgia, with branches to
Athens. Georgia, and to Anderson, S. c.

Sow. Moses Indicted for Grand Larceny

This startling announcement creates announcer
wave uoon the sea of political comnotion, and
adds to the unenviable notoriety achieved oy
the present Chief Magistrate. On Monday
last. the grand jury of Orangeburg came into
Conrt with a true bill in the case OF j. ~
Humbert, late County Treasurer, and FRANKLIN
J. Moses, jr, Governor of South Carolina VINO
were Jointly indicted for breach OF trust' Will
fraudulent intent, and for grand larceny. Inc
indictment charges Moses with having coun-
selled and advised Humbert to make use OF
$4,000 of the State taxes to pay Moses private
,debts. Solicitor Buttz moved that a bench
warrant be issued for the arrest of the parties.
Judce Graham was in doubt whether he had
the right to issue the warrant for the arrest of
the Governor, and reserved his decision until
Tuesday morning. From information received
bv telegraph, we learn that Judge Graham
issued the warrant, and that the Sheriff OF
Orangeburg went to Columbia on TUESDAY
afternoon to arrest the Governor, who resisted
the service of the warrant by entrenchlng hlm-
self in the State House, and stationing guard
of colored militia around the building. Later
information received on "Wednesday morning
states that the Governor surrendered to the
Sheriff of Orangeburg, and was released SUBJ
seauently, by giving bail for his appearance IN
Court, we presume.
Such are the facts as gathered from the news
papers and from private sources. The partl'
sans of Moses raise the cry of malice and per-
secution, and will doubtless succeed in making
him a veritable martyr before they are done
with it. He stands an excellent chance to
become the nominee of "the party for re-elec'
tion, under the circumstances.

The annual reunion of the Army of the Poto-
mac took place at Harrisburg, Pa, last week.
Among the most notable incidents transplrng
at the meeting of the veterans, was an address
before the Ninth Army Corps by Gen. Wilcox,
who suggested, among other things, that an
invitation be extended to the Confederate
corps commanded by Gen. Longstreet, which
he had most frequently encountered. to come
and to bury the hatchet together and forever.

THE COURT HOUSE.

While slight Improvements are being made
on this building, it would be well to remove
the old torn bagging from the floor, and sub
stitute mating of some kind in its place. The
present condition of the floor is deplorable in
the extreme, and disgrace to the Town and
County. Court will be held in the building
next week, and parties coming from abroad
and viewing this floor will carry away with
them no very favorable impressions OF our
zeal in such matters. The dust Of years lie
underneath this old bagging and for the bene-
fit of lungs ought to be removed.

OF all the law cases we ever heard, none can
compete with the celebrated hen case which
was disposed of on Saturday evening last. In
the language of the prosecutor, two hens were
sot by his wife some time ago, and each Matched
out q brood of chickens. In order not to be
from her chickens and put all under the charge
Of the other, so he sont one of the hens to a
neighbours house, and when called for could
not be found, as she was with the white folks
chickens. He wanted to procure warrant for
the arrest Of the party detaining, but did not
succeed. Our private opinion is that this indi-
vidual will let law alone in the future, as he
was badly scared before he left.
