One Of the most barefaced and unfounded
assertions that has fallen under our eve for a
long time was that contained in the Post-office

it is well known that that organ" snarled out
long snarl of dissatisfaction as to the doings

adoption of the new Constitution, and of the
Act in question: %
The State Grange of the Patrons Of Hus-
bandry, was in session in Columbia three days
of last week. The proceedings Of the body
have not been made public, yet it is
generally understood that the greatest har,
mony pervaded the deliberations. Over two
hundred and forty oranges we're represented.
1t has been determined to establish central
supply depot at Columbia, and an agent was
selected at St. Louis and one at New York
for the purchase of supplies. One thousand
dollars was contributed for the establishment
of all immigration bureau at Charleston, un-
der the direction of Maj. F. Melchers. State
commissioner of imm grafton. In regard to
the proceedings, the Columbia Union says:
"From what this reporter can learn 'on the
street, politics have been entirely ignored,
and this is given as an instance: The Tax
Payers Convention appointed a committee
on immigration to confer with the State
Grange, and owing to the political complica'
ton of the Tax Payers CoAvention-mem-
bers of which proclaim that immigration is
advocated in order to bring voters in the
State the Grange refused to appoint com
mittee to confer with them. The Grange
favors immigration Of skilled and intelligent
laborers, but refuses to have any cooperation
with the Tax Payers Convention, for fear of
giving the Grange place in politics"

ACCIDENT TO DIR. JACKSON.

On Monday afternoon last, while DR.. H. &.
Jackson was making visit to patient, when
about mile from town, on the Kings Noun
tain road, in attempting to avoid an obstruc-
ton on one side of the road, the sulky unfor-
tunately ran into deep slough on the oppo-
site side, causing it to upset, and violently
throwing the Doctor on the ground. In
falling, he sustained severe injuries to his left
leg-dislocating the ankle joint and fractu-
ring both bones above the ankle. He had
the presence of mind to Immediately draw the
dislocated ankle to its proper position, and
fortunately, a young freedman-Jef Will
liams-was near the scene Of the accident,
and hastened to town to summon medical aid
and other necessary attendance. DR.. Jack
son was at once conveyed to his rooms, and
all his brother physicians in the town, inclu-
ding DR.. Grard, Army Surgeon at this post,
to whom, by common consent, the manage
ment of the case was given, We'd with each
other in their efforts to give the necessary
medical attention. He is resting very we'll
but from the nature and extent of his wounds
he will probably be confined to his room for
several weeks.

SUICIDE OF A SOLDIER.

On Thursday last, about II o'clock, in the
forenoon, John Shea, corporal in Company
C, of the 18th Regiment U. S. Infantry, sta
toned at this place, committed suicide by
shooting himself with a musket. Placing the
muzzle close to his left breast, he touched the
trigger with ramrod. The ball passed
through his body and lodged in the wall of
the room in which he committed the deed.
The wounded man fingered until halfpast 7
o'clock, P. NJ, before death ensued. He was
doubtless laboring Under mental alteration,
superinduced by strong drink; but while in a
conscious state, just before death, he stated
that the act was deliberate, and he had no re.
grets. He was a native of Ireland, and had
been in the service several years.

DEATH OF w. H. McCAW.

We are panied to learn of the death of Mr.
w. H. McCaw, of Columbia, which occurred
on Thursday afternoon last, from injuries re-
ceived by the explosion of a kerosene lamp.
Mr. McCaw was employed on the Charleston
Ne,us and Courier, and late Wednesday night
while engaged at his office in the Law Range
building, preparing his correspondence for
the press, he upset the kerosene lamp by
which he was writing, and spilled the contents
on his clothing. In an instant he was envel-
oped in flame, and before aid could reach him
from the adjoining rooms, he was horribly
burned about the lower portion of the body,
and the unfortunate man doubtless inhaled
the fame in his efforts to extinguish it. Med
ical aid was Immediately summoned; but all
efforts to save his life proved unavailing, and
he died, as above stated at o'clock on the day
following the unfortunate occurrence. Mr.
McCaw was we'll known throughout the State
as journalist of prominence and ability
He had filed the position of editor on the
Phenir and the Carolinian, and besides being
a regular correspondent of the Ne,us and Cou
rier over the nom de plume of SQui Vive,"
was also, at the time of his melancholy death,
connected with that paper editorially.

PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS.

In the Senate, on the 18th, Mr. Gordon in
troduced bill directing the Secretary of the
Interior to place on. the pension rolls the
names of all persons heretofore dropped there
from because of participation in the rebellion
referred. The banking question was discuss
ed until adjournment. In the House a bill
was passed authorizing the building of mill
tary prison at Leaveuworth, Kansas, at which
all soldiers guilty of military offenses shall be
incarcerated.
In the Senate, on the 18th, memorial of
the Territorial Assembly of Utah was present
ed, denying the charges made against the
Mormon inhabitants and asking for COM
mission to investigate the charges. The bill
to provide for the appointment of commits
sion on the subject of the alcoholic liquor
traffic, and the bill to equalize the banking
circulation, were debated. In the House. the
bill to provide for the distribution of public
documents and for the free distribution Of
newspaper exchanges through the mails, was
discussed without action. The impression is
that the bill for the franking Of documents
printed by Congress will pass by large ma
ority, and that it will be an entering wedge
for further franking privileges.
In the Senate, on the 10Th, discussion of
the bill to equalize the distribution of the ma
tional bank circulation was the only matter
of Importance that claimed the attention of
that body. No definite conclusion was ar
rived at. The House discussed the bill in re-
lation to the franking of public documents.
During the debate, Mr.. Grassland, of Ken
tucky, took ofRensc at some remark made by
his colleague, Mr.. Beck, while the latter was
speaking. Mr.. Grassland, approaching MIR.
Beck, shook his fist at him. Great excite
ment ensued But finally matters were quiet
ed and apologies were exchanged.

made a statement relative to the tariff act of

for hyphen, whereby fruits had been admit
ted duty free, the Government had lost half a

error should be investigated. The debate on
the bill for the equalization Of the currency
was then resumed and continued until ad-

important.

ensued every time they met The quarrel
was renewed in the hotel on the evening above
mentioned, when young Elliott notified his
father that if he did not put Neal out of the
house he would kill him. DIR. Elliott then
took hold of Neal by each shoulder, walking
in advance of him, commanding him, at the
same time to leave the house. No resist
ance was made by Neal, and as the two were
nearing the door, young Elliott walked up
behind Neal, and reaching his arm around
him, placed the muzzle of a heavy pistol to
his breast and fired. Neal instantly fell
dead-the ball penetrating his. heart. His
only exclamation was, "You did it, but in
cowardly way" Elliott made no attempt to
escape. He was taken before Justice Free
land for preliminary examination, and com
mitted to Jail, after which he appeared before
Judge Mitchell on a writ of habeas corpus and
was allowed to give bond of $4,000 for his
appearance at Iredell Court; but failing to
raise the bond, was committed to Jail. The
murdered man is the son of one of the veal
thiest tobacco merchants of Richmond, and
was highly esteemed by all who knew him.

governed more by their own individual wishes
and preferences than by the circumstances
and conditions of our surroundings as State
not yet recovered from'the throes Of defeated

from the reports of the several committees,
this latter class exercised but limited inau-
ence in the deliberations Of the Convention.

mittees, including the memorial to the Legs-
lature in regard to assessment and taxation
of property the address to the people of the
