Run OVER AND k1LLED.-i white man.
about sixty years old. was run over near
the thirty-eight mile board on the South
Carolina Railroad, yesterday morning
between and S o'clock, and so horribly
injured that he died of his wounds in a
few hours. When the Columbia night
express down train was ON it's way hitler
at tho above place, an object was seen on
the track, and every effort made to stop
the train and give notice of it's approach
by blowing the whistle The distance,
only twenty yards, was too short to check
up in, however and the train passed
over tho object. AS soon us the cars
stopped the unfortunate man was found.
He was put on the train and died about
o'clock. He could not speak when
picked up, and only Inuttcrcl "Black-
VILE" He hnl some $50 in his pocket,
but no clue could be had to his identity
by his clothing or any papers about him.
subsequently, it wns aSccrtained that
the deceased was named Bond; thnt he
WAS on his way to Blackville from Flori-
ia, to sec his SON. The killing seems to
have been entirely accidental, as every
effort was made by the engineer to avert
the collision, but the short spnce mt
which ho saw the object on tho tracl,
rendered it impossible. Deputy Corn-
ner Magrath ihalmnclcd jury OF inquest,
took the testimony Of Conductor Brown
ing and engineer, and adjourned over
tor further investigation until to-day.
The remains was sent for by the son of

LET Us HE'LL THE FRENCH The extent
Of the disasters i'll the Southern part of
France seem to magnify with every de-
spatch. 1t is authcntically reported
that the effect Of the rising of the Gn-
rome has been the destruction of ut
least 900 lives and $40, 900, COO worth of
property. Towns have been swept away,
plantations hive been flooded, VINEYARDS
have been destroyed, and this beautiful
valley Of tho Garonne, memorable to all
who love the rich, red wines of France,
Is now the scene Of desolation so wide
spread and cruel that the authorities of
the republic have hurried to the spot
that in their own presence they may give
relief. Hero is an opportunity for our
people to show kindness toward tho
French. A handsome subscription from
our people would be Of infinite value in
strengthening tho relations between tho
two countries. The French people have
never been insensible to tile voice of
distress from America. ms was shown
when Chicago burned Now, will Anne
rica show its kindness to the French?
Let our people respect the smyathy
which has never been refused to us by
this people by remembering them in this
hour of calamity and by sending to the
authorities along the valley Of the Ga
rome contribution to relieve their
wants.

TIE PARKER TRIAL-The Columbia
correspondent Of the Charleston Ne,us
and Courier writes rs follows:
The Parker case, set for the 9Th of
July, IS rapidly approaching. What
shall say of it? Attorney-GeneraI Mel
ton hns expressed himself as confident
that he will be able to convince the pub
lie judgment inmllibly of the guilt of
Parker, and make good tho charge and
complaints in his indictment. Of course,
Just here the jury comes in, and it will
not 90 to leave 1t ont i'll any speculations
rs to the verdict. The veniro has been
drawn for the special term, and includes
some names that nre respectable and
known to the public, and which promise
fairness and proper consideration of any
matters that may be brought before
them. Others are utterly unknown. or
known but to be condemned in n posi-
ton which gives the opportunity to de-
eide questions which affect the life. pro-
perty. character and rights of citizens.
and which involves the performance of a
duty to the State. But it will be ad-
United that the present jury is mn i'm
provement upon those with which we
have been familiar for several years.
Both sides say they nrc ready for trinl in
this case, and preparations to try it are
nearly completed. As mentioned, the
jury has been drawn, and, all things
considered, may be called fair; n prcnt
many witnesses have been served with
subpenas, and the lawyers on both sides
look and talk rs if thoy were confident
Of success. From NIL accounts, it pro-
misses to be as pretty legal fight rs ever
was brought out in such hot weather.

COLUMBIA. S.
Saturday Morning, July 3, 1875.

The New York Herald requested Gen.
w. S. Rosccranz to write it q letter on
the events Of the war. The General dc
clines for the present on the grounds
thut the ''impcrious duties of laborious
life have compelled me to leave unful-
filed u minor portion of what I owe to
my country" He nlludcs to the official
Misrepresentation Of his own war his
tory, and also to the cnlumnics against
him i'll Bndcau's ''Life of General
Grant respecting portions Of his mill
tary management which have passed uH-
noticed by him, partly because the facts
to refute them have been scattered broad
cast by the press, and partly because he
thought the time inopportune "whcn
the exigencies of governing party rem
dcred it necessary to prevent truths from
becoming known which would tend to
destroy the popularity Of leader whom
albeit against their better instincts it's
chiefs have felt it necessary to set up"
This his Exccllency the President is FREQ
to construe as he plensos, but the coun-
try at large will readily conclude that
Rosecranz will not be found among the
devoted patriots who propose tossing
their caps for Grant during.th next Pre-
sidential campaign.

Ex-Sccrctary AIcCulioch's recent letter
on the practical reputation of their in
debtedness by the States of Indiana and
Virginin has attracted the attention of
the country and provoked special COM
ments in the two States directly con-
cerned. Tho Indianapolis Journal, Sc
nator Morton's organ, is especially bitter.
1t says of one of NIr. McCulloch's state
ments: ''It is calumny, and Mr.. Nc
Culloch knew it." Others it pronounces
false i'll detail. What Mr.. McCulloch
calls repudiation it apologies for and
explains away. It intimntcs through
elaborate columns of attack that he was
never much of man any way-that he
was nothing but mere country banker
president of the State Bank of Indiana)
before he became Secretary of the Trea-
sury; that he had the hearty support of
Indiana for the position, and that now
his few years of foreign residence seem
to have entirely oblitented the senti-
ments of State pride and gratitude for
past favors. The Virginia papers are
less aggressive. The Dispatch pro-
nouncos the spirit and arguments of his
letter both generous and just. The
Wig declares his letter carefully and
adroitly written, but insists that tho
silvcry softncss of Mr.. MuCulloch's
tones will do the bondholdcrs no good /;
that the people of Virginia know best
about their own affairs, and that it would
bea hazardous experiment upon their
sense Of justice to themselves to attempt
to force them now to do more than they
are already doing toward the payment of
the public debt. 1t concludes thus: "If
left alone to the guidance of her own
calm connsels, Virginia will yet succeed
in mastering and managing her debt.
But she is in no humorno to be pressed
any harder than she already is"

LEsU!LNE INSTITUTE uF TIE IN5iiCI-
LATE CoScEpTIoN. The commencement
exercises OF this institution, which is To-
Gated nt Nallc Crucis, about three miles
from Columbia, were Witnessed, ycstcr-
day afternoon, by tic parents ana many
had been looked for with bounding
hearts and bnovant hopes by the young
ln,lics who have been receiving their
mentnl training in this dcscrvcdly popu-
lnr institute, and wns anticipated with
equal pleasure hy the relatives and
friends OF tLc scholars. AS ut each an
nual recurrence of these public cxcr-
ciscs, the visitors were numerous, md
gathered ut an early hour; and they were
fully repaid by the entertainment which
greeted them. The young ladies acquit-
ted themselves in highly creditablo
manner in the various departments in
which they had been instructed The
honors awarded exhibited the close np-
plication which must lave marked the
scholastic term, and bore equal evidence
of the attention and lnbor bestowed by
tho Mother Superior and her efficient as-
sistants upon the young ladies under
their tuition. The curriculum of the
institute embraces the following:
Christian doctrine, comprising sacred
history, prophecies and their fulfill
mcnt, Scripture texts for controvcrtcd
points, Catholic principles, Catholic
Christian instructed, Catechism and
monthly calendar Of saints, photography,
elocntion, English grammar and compo-
sition, rhetoric, logic and writing, mo-
dcrn history and geography, physical
geography, botany and chemistry, fami-
liar science, plain sowing and needle
work. mental and natural philosophy,
physiology and conchology, ancient his
tory and geography, mythology, astro-
nomy, classical biography and geology,
arithmetic, tables and authorizations,
bookkeeping and algebra, French, Ita-
lian and Latin languages, crayon draw
ing, painting, embroidery and fancy
work, instrumental and vocal music,
domestic economy, culinary department
and laundry, conduct, politcness, dill
gence, order and application.
A young lady graduating from this in
stitution is necessarily accomplished,
and can justly feel herself fitted for any
pursuit in life peculiar to her sex.

MANY of our plain farmers rubbed their
hands with great satisfaction when their eyes
first, fell upon the new Brussels carpet that
was last week put upon the floor of the court
room at st. Clairsville. We are told the
County Commissioners were not consulted
about the repairs of the courtroom, How
would it do TO let those who ordered the re-
pairs and the new furniture foot the bill p
Independent.
The above is another fair sample of Long
ley's pure and unadulterated cussedness. He
is so used to lying, that he cannot represent
anything fairly when it concerns any ons his
petty soul dislikes. Last fall during the can
didacy of Sheriff Cochran by inuendo and
otherwise he attacked and misrepresented him
in the Bellaire Publishing Company's paper,
and upon the streets. Not content with the
verdict Of the people which said by nearly
one thousand more than the regular party
majority, that his and his co-adjutors assaults
upon worthy officer, were villainous, ant
contemplate and below the dignity of ,
sneaking, putid knave, he again shows hi
scurvy teeth for the simple purpose of bring
ing reproach upon the Sheriff, under who's
auspices the repairs in the Court House wer'
made.
The fact is, that the repairs which wer'
made, were necessary, and were ordered by
the Commissioners, for the most part. They
are substantial and of durable nature, an(
no one but mortified and hypocritic malcon
tent, like Longley, would find any fault. Th
Taxpayers of this County are not set oi
fools, and hence the brayings of this chronic
croaker have no weight with them-this Ii,
has learned to his great discomfort. So LEI
him bray.

We clip the following from the Oskaloosa,
Kansas, Independent, concerning former
well-known citizen of this place. The Incl
dent upon which it is founded is well remem-
bered by many of our people as being a per-
sonal alteration between Mr.. E. and DR..
Dunham, then editor of the Gazette. The sto-
~ should be reversed, and then it would be
true, with the exception that the alteration
did not occur at the Post-effice, but in front
of Mr. Eaton's office, now the Office of Maj
W. S. Kennon:
'.Now that Hon. l. E. Eaton is prominently
before the public as prospective candidate
for the Vice Presidency, &c, we take the op-
portunity of giving the following pretty good
story which is told on him by an eyewitness of
the affair: In aud lang Syne the Honorable
Isaac was practicing law in little town in
Eastern Ohio, called st. Clairsville, and, get
ting into quarrel with the Editor of Demo-
cratic paper over something that the latter
had published, approached him one Sunday
morning at the post-office, and went to dispu-
ting with him, and finally opened the small
blade of a pOcket-knife in his hand, and struck
at the newspaper man once or twice. He was
seized by parties standing by just as he gave
expression to his feelings by fiercely exclaim-
ing: 'D-n you, if it wasn't Sunday morning
I'd take the big blade to youi'"
