The LATE TROUBLES IN SOUTH CAROLINA
THE VISIT OF GOVERNOR CHAMBERLAIN TO
WAsHISGToH.--Th Washington correspond
ent OF the Baltimore Sun says:
Governor Chamberlain, OF South Carolina,
arrived here Wednesday, and had conSulta.
tons with Secretary Cameron and Attor-
ney-Gencral Taft regarding the recent trou-
bic at Hamburg. The Governor was fully
informed us to what the views OF the Gene
raj Government are upon this affair, ana
they are substantially to the effect that the
State of South Carolina should execute its
laws and bring to prompt trial and punish
ment parties who arc guilty of having Incl
ted the riotorls demonstrations and murders
lust reported. The subject will without
doubt receive full consideration ut the next
Cabinet meeting, the impression being that
the Administration intends to insist upon
the State law being executed in this partlc-
ular case. The conferences between Gov
ernor Chamberlain and the Cabinet officers
mentioned were very earnest, the ofnclaiS
representing to the fullest extent the views
Of the President and Cabinet as to the alb
Solute necessity OF prompt actlOn by the
State authorities.
Governor Chamberlain came to Washing
ton by invitation Of the Secretary of War,
and also at the suggestion OF congressional
friends. He does not ask for military assist
ance to aid the State in bringing offenders
to Justice, believing that the authorities
there are sufficiently able to perform such
service. All the names Of the guilty parties
are not yet ascertained, but 1t is supposed
they will be discovered during the coroner's
inquest ut Hamburg, which is now in ses-
sion. The Governor does not entertain an
opinion that the disturbances originated in
political causes. There is nothing to. show
that they did. He entertainS no doubt that
the Governor of Georgia will surrender any
persons OF that State who may have partici-
pated in the riot, and says that the newspa-
pcrs OF both States deprecate the occur
renccs at Hamburg, and are earnest in their
desires not only to punish guilty parties,
but % prevent a recurrence OF such pro-
ceedings.
The correspondent OF the Baltimore
american says: ''Goyernor Chamberlain
called upon President Grant to urge favor
able action upon his recent request that
troops be sent to South Carolina Secretary
Cameron is inclined to favor the placing OF
sufficient force in the State to protect the
peace. The President comedies with him,
but first wants the civil remedies which can
be applied to be exhausted"
The Charleston Nelos- Courier and other
Democratic papers OF South Carolina, be-
lieying that Il Democrat cannot be elected
Governor, have up to this time been favor
ing Chamberlain's reelection.

beautiful stream is very crooked, anu on
that account originally bore the Indian name

II puzZlcs me TO know why this beautiful
name should have been changed to the com

bright specimens OF the tinny tribes, afford

delightful rowing. and the Colonel keeps
handsome boat for this purpose. Ii we are
50 inclined We may 20 back 4 mile or two
among the mountains and angle for the
SpcckIcd trout. or hunt the tlect-foOted deer.
Only short distance from here is the
"Riowin- tavc''--a remarkable phenomc-
non IN nature. In these hot days one may
sit down in its entrance and be famed by Il
current OF chilling air rushing almost
iicrccly outward. We are told that in WIN
ter the course OF the current is reversed.
The natural features OF this country are
wonderful. Here the rocks are folded and
licked; there are carcrnS and sinks; and
every now and then is found Il spring hay

The days are warm-nay, hot sometimes

PITY TIE Poor CnILDREN!- THE DEATH
RATE-The saddest feature of these warm
days is the increase of mortality among the
children. The Board OF Health direct the
appointment of fifty additional physicians
to 60 into tenement houses and endeavor to
arrest the progress OF children's diseases.
This is wise and prompt. But here is an
other question: Do we govern city we'll
where every summer Of unusual warmth we
are threatened with an epidemic among the
children? The death-rate in this city now
is higher than that of any other city in the
world. For the week ending July s it was
47.G5 in 1000; over the river, in Brooklyn,
it is 1915; in Philadelphia, with its torrid
reputation. only 40.17; in Washington,
where this summer is exceptionally I'M
healthy, 1927. II we 20 to Boston we
find it 24.63. II we go West Ito st.
Louis it is 1902; while South, in
Charleston, it is only 1866. This
shows that the country is generally healthy
outside of New York. If we analyze this
mortality we find that out OF 1,22S deaths
during the week ending July Is, 1876, e62
were of children under five years of age.
OF this number 500 were from summer
complaints. The majority OF these deaths
occurred in houses containing four families
or more, in tcnement-houses.-N York

PNEUMATIC TUBE IN USEFUL OPERATION
The Western Union Telegraph Company
have introduced the system OF pneumatic
delivery of messages, which has for some
years been so valued an addition to the
London post-oftice, and which may yet con-
meet, in all large cities, the general post
office with its branches. In the Western
Union operating-room, New York, the two
and-a-hali-inch pipes just introduced con-
meet with the branch Offices OF the Stock
Exchange, in Broad street, and at the Cot
ton Exchange, in Pearl street. The mes
sage is encased in asole-leatller tube covered
with telling, about six inches long, with a
broad flaugc Of telling at one end,
which fits tight in the brass tube. The
other end is open for the reception OF the
rolled-up message, and 4 broad elastic band
holds the contents in place. Each tube can
be made ut will either a receiving or send
ing tube. Each has two valves regulated
by stop-cocks, by means of which the air is
either turned on or exhausted. The time
OF the transmission Of message is twenty
five seconds. The brass tubes run down to
the basement, and thence under ground
down Broadway, where one turns into
Wall street, and thence to Broad and the
Stock Exchange, and the other, by way OF
Maiden lane to Pearl street and the Cotton

Hon. GEoEGE f. PUGH, Of Ohio, who died
day before yesterday, was once considered
the most promising man in that State. The
war and his sincerity and manliness ended
his public career. The Commercial tells a
singular story of his last days, as follows
Mr.. Hoon, who is an old acquaintance OF
Mr.. Push's, has been frequently attending
him during his sickness. About three months
before MIR. Pugh fell i'll he was conversins
with Hoon one day in regard to certain re-
miniscences OF the Mexican war, and was III
the act of relating an exciting incident, when
the conversation was interrupted by the en-
trance OF q friend. The story was broken
off in the middle, and both the listener and
the story-teler forgot all about it until Fri
dav night last. 1t then happened that Mr..
Pugh, reviving from long stupor, beheld
Mr.. Hoon at his bedside, and in his delirium
immediately continued that story OF the
Mexican war, taking up the thread OF the
narrative from the point Of interruption.
Thus the tale was completed.

A REMARKABLE HIsTORY.-Mr. n. ID.
Dickerson, now resident on the farm OF
Rev. j. d. Southall near Mossingford, gave
us the other day the following facts in his
history, in which the number eight seems
to hold very important position: He was
born in the year 1878; was married on the
18th day Of August, in his eighteenth year.
He has eighteen children and eighteen
grandchildren. His first child was born
eighteen months after his marriage, on the
Sth day of the month, aud eighteen months
intervene between all his children. He has
eight children married, and has now eight
sons living. He has been an oyerseer OF
plantations for thirty-eight years, a large
part OF the time for j. b. McPhai, Esq.
His father died in 1873, at the age Of eighty
eight years, and he is himself fifty-eight
years old. "tsf 81.
Mr. Dickerson thinks bis long and faith
full service. entities him to a pension; and
he challenges the State to produce another
instance in which the number eight has
such remarkable prominence Charlotte
