A Blind Man Killed.

NOR that q man had been killed
in this county, ten or twelve
miles west of Fayetteville, on
that day. Closer investigation
established the truth Of the ru-
NOR, and the incidents reported
by witnesses are about as fol-
lows: Mr.. johnson, a blind
man, had a panoramic show
which he exhibited through the
country, travelling by carryall,
his companion being a young
man named Lewis n. Gilbert,
aged about % years, formerly
of Giles county. They have
been travelling a year or more,
having gotten together about
CornersvilIe. Last Wednesday
night they showed to small
house in Fayetteville; Thursday
they left, and that night exhibit
ted at Kerr's Creek Academy.
Friday at midday they started to
leave there, and in turning, a
wheel rubbed hard against the
body of the vehicle, whercupon
Johnson cautioned Gilbert. who
had alighted, to be careful, or
he might break the wagon. The
remark angered the latter, it is
supposed, as without returning
a word he stopped, drew re-
pcater from his boot, and rising,
pointed it at johnson 5 head,
the muzZle being about a foot
from the unfortunate man j face,
and fired. The ball entered a.
bove the right eye, scattering
blood and brains over the We
hiclc. DR.. W. l.. Moore was
Immediately summoned, and af-
ter an examination pronounced
the wound mortal. Death en-
sued in about an hour. Gilbert
at once left, but was followed by
Mr.. John Gillian and two other
gentlemen, who arrested and
had him placed in Jail in this
place, where he now is. The
prisoner was very jovial on his
way to town-singing and
laughing. He claims that john
son was trying to kill him with
the monkey wrench, and that he
shot in self-defence, and added
that he thought first of shoot
ing him in the belly, but after
ward concluded to make a
finish Of him, and shot him in
the head" Johnson leaves a
family in Giles county, where
his remains were taken for buri-
Il. He was in the Confederate
army, and was wounded by a
ball which passed through his
head in the rear OF the eyes, dcs-
troying his sight almost entirely

VOICE FROM The VATICAN.

1t is obvious from the chronicles of the
day that the temporalpowe Of the Pope has
been much circumscribed by the political
authority of the Italian people. The ac-
cess;ou of Victor Emmanuel to the govern.
ment Of Italy and the annexation Of SO
many Italian States to the Sandman
monarchy left his Holiness the Pope with
small territory aad revenue. The con.
tiuued conflict between the politica! and

people resulted i'll popular vote. whe:e-

We enter into this history 10 further
than TO note tia. his Holiness has pro.
tested bitterly against this cons:yuc.
tive invasion Of his immemoiial pre-
negatives. aud that the relations be-
tween the two governments seem to be
about what they were in 1861 between
the federal government and the State
of South Carolina. His Holiness the
Pope very naturally appealed from Cesar
to his own spiritual subjects in other
countries. He asked their prayers and
sympathies: they gave both, and added
substantial and voluntary contributions to
his revenues. This was SO far unobjec.
tionable. But some of the more Jealous
priests like him who smote off the ear Of
the high priests servant wbea they laid
