Thereby.
ANDERSON, Jan. II, 1871
most painful tragedy took place here this
afternoon, at about the hour OF I'VE p. NJ, result
ing in the death OF Thomas N. Stillwel BY
q pistol shot at the hands OF John E. Corwin.
The facts are substan tally these :-Stillweu has
been for number Of years past prominent polt-
tician in this place. having successfully been
elected to the State Legislature and member Of
Congress. He was appointed BY President Grant
Minister to Venezuela.
BANKING IRREGULARITIES.
since his return from south America he has been
actively engaged In banking, holding the responsi
BILE position OF President OF the First National
Bank at this place. some few weeks ago the First
National Bank suspended, and for certain kregu-
arities the Grand Jury saw 1T to ind bills OF In
dlctment against stinweI, as president and A. B,
Kline as cashier, for embezzlement The matter

return certain paragraphs in the state papers
were shown him, which appear 70 nave greatly IN.
censed him, and he proceeded to the once OF John
E. Corwtn, between whom and Stillwell there has
existed an old feud, and charged him as the lnstl-
gator Of the prosecution.
THE ARGUMENT OF PISTOLS.
The alteration had not assumed the dignity OF
quarrel when Stillwell drew revolver and said -
ssThis has to be the last Of you or me-" drtng es
Corwin the snOt taking effect in Corwin's groin.
Corwin instantly drew pistol and fired TWO shots
at Stillwe each taking fatal effect Ia the brain q
the deceased, both shots penetrating the skull

lately President, has been IN the hands OF 9 re-
ceiver, and Stiliweli's bonds upon the charge
Aforesaid had been fixed at $4,000.
sTILLwELL's DEATH A PUBLIC LOSS.

RELIEF FOR UNEMPLOYED WoRKxEN. The
proposition to spend some millions of dol
lars on public works in order to give occu-
patton to our distressed and penniless laborers
was yesterday considered in the Assembly and
referred to the Committee on WAYS and
Means, with the understanding that it should
report early. As the case is urgent delay
would, of course, do harm. 1t is good
propagation and should be practically acted
npon for relief must be given by the public
in one form or another, and to give it as pay
for labor is the only means Of depriving it of
demoralizing effect It is odd TO see, how
'ovsE, that one wise member of the Assembly
believes the State should pay out money only
In order that the recipients should be able to
pay taxes, and that thus the financial strin-
gsncy" hereNbouts might be overcome

PRESENTATION 10 THE MISSES GREELEY -
The interesting ceremony Of presenting to the
family of the late Horace Greeley the illu-
minated album, containing the proceedings Of
the Common Council ON the occasion of the
death Of the late philosopher, took place yes
terday at the present residence Of the Misses
Greeley, in Cottage place. Mayor Havemeyer
made the presentation address, and Mr.. White
law Reid responded on behalf Of the Misses
Greeley. 1t is BETTING testimonial in honor
of departed worth, and will undoubtedly be
retained in the family as an heirloom never
to be willingly parted with.

LATEST FROM SPAm.-It appears from our
news of this morning that the intransigentes
sought and found means of escape in other
vessels than the Numancia. One OF these
vessels, the name of which is not given, has
been captured with large number of refugees
on board. The Mendez Nunez, however, well
laden with insurgents has been successful in
reaching q port of France. These intran-
sigente fellows, in spite of their principles,
command admiration. They fought we'll and
resisted bravely, and it must be admitted that
sheir defeat has been the reverse of inglorious
Those who have found refuge on French soil
are safe,sand it is to be hoped that Serrano
will be generous towards those unfortunates
who have fallen into his hands Another
item of news is that q considerable portion of
the forces recently employed before Cartagena
have been sent north to sid in putting down
the Carlists. We take thisNN evidence that
Serrano is resolved to put forth his whole
available STRENGTH against the northern rebels.

of the United States at Geneva, there can be
no impossible barrier between him and Gen.
eral Grant.
There are doubtless many other men in the
United States who possess the professional.
personal and political qualifications called for
by our exacting republican Senate to fill the
Office OF Chief Justice. The task OF making q
selection belongs to the President, and from
the deficiencies brought against Williams and
the drawbacks which swamped Gushing the
President is perhaps sufficiently instructed to
meet the demands of the Senate. If not and
if Cabinet consultations on the subject are
proftless, it would, perhaps, be well, in order
to avoid further trouble upon this matter. If the
President were to invite the republicans Of
the Senate to join him in consultation at the
White House upon the nomination of Chief
Justice The Executive makes this appoint
ment as he makes many others, 'by and with
the advice and consent of the Senate;" the
republican majority ia, de fddo, the Senate,
and why, then, should General Grant hesitate
in such difficult case as this in asking the
advice of the republican Senators in making
the nomination, particularly after he has shown
in two cases within q week that in acting
upon bis own Judgment be cannot
secure the "consent" of the Senate
But if, in having to pass the ordeal Of a Senate
over two-thirds republican, the President in
his third nomination for Chief Justice must
look to the party record of the man the para
mount consideration should still be the pro-
fessional qualifications and that sterling indie
pendence Of character in the nominee required
for the impartial discharge of the high duties
of this important Office.

The newly elected United States SEN
ators from Virginia and Ohio do not change
much the political complexion of the Senate.
Thurman, democrat, has been reelected.
That is neither loss nor gain to the repub-
lican administration party. Withers, of Vir-
ginia, is democrat or conservative, which
means the same thing, in opposition to the
administration and dominant radical party
In his case, then, the administration loses and
the opposition gains one. There was lately,
too, an opposition Senator elected in Cali
fornia, Mr.. Booth, though he was not pro-
nounced democrat and had been republican.
He was chosen by the anti-railroad ring and
by a combination Of democrats and dissatis-
fed republicans chiefly. These are healthful
signs of change in reducing the heretofore
overwhelming radical majority in the
Senate. There are forty-seven republi-
cans, considered in the past administra-
ton republicans; but, in view of the
late hostility to General Grants norni-
nations for Chief Justice, it remains to be
seen how far their loyalty may go. There are
twenty democrats and seven liberal republi-
cans The latter may be classed in the oppo-
sition generally. The elections referred to
will reduce the number of administration
republicans to forty-six. The opposition,
reckoning the liberal republicans, will num-
Der twenty-eight There is still large work.
ing majority, though not two-thirds, of
administration Senators, if they remain loyal
to the President 1t takes many years to
alter the political character Of the Senate, but
it is evident the process has commenced.
Good results may be anticipated.
