A BRUTAL ACT.-On Sunday night
last some one broke into Mr.. Corners
stable, in rear of his residence GA Main
and Clifford streets, in Winchester. and
led his horse into the alley, where he
killed him by cutting his throat There
is no clue, as yet, the Times says, which
may lead to the detection of the author
of this piece of unparalleled brutality
and meanness, but it is sincerely hoped
that he may yet be brought to justice
and receive the punishment which he so
richly deserves.

Grant and South Carolina.

The New York Tribune pub
fishes an interview with Presi-
dent Grant regarding South Car
olina. The President is made to
say: In South Carolina the con-
test had assumed such a phase
that the whole army of the United
States would be inadequate to
enforce the authority of Cover
nor Chamberlain. The people of
that State have resolved not to
resort to violence, but have adop
ted a mode of resistance much
more formidable and effective
than armed demonstration.
They have refused to pay their
State taxes to Governor Cham
berlain; and it would be useless
to sell out their property as no one
would buyit. Unless Gov. Cham
berlain could compel the collec-
ton of taxes it would be useless
for him to expect to maintain his
authority any length of time.
This state of affairs must inevita-
bly, result in the abandonment Of
all efforts by Governor Chamber
lain to maintain himself in the
exercise of the Gubernatorial
functions Of the State Of South
Carolina.

Queen VIctOria's New Title.

Mr.. Fawcett, NJ. p, in a speech
recently delivered before his con-
stituents at Shoreditch, said: "Of
all the foolish things the present
Government had done, and there
were many, the most foolish was
to change the time e-honored title
OF our sovereign and to give the
Indian people a sovereign with a
name which we repudiated here.
He regarded with great misgiving
what was done at Delhi last week.
Never before did we attempt to
exhibit Western civilization to
the people of India by entering
with them upon a rivalry of bar
barrie splendor and meretricious
glitter. Depend upon it that any
thing We might attempt in that
direction would only impress
them with a feeling of their own
superiority. Never, moreover,
was any ceremonial performed at
so unpropitious a time. They
might get details of all the expen
ses spent in this tomfoolery-f200
spent on a herald's and perhaps
f2,OOO on an elephants trappings
but there was something they
would never know, and that was
the extent to which the native
princes would be encouraged to
enter into a revelry of wasteful
extravaganza, and its effects upon
the people under their rule.
While tins expenditure was going
ON at Delhi, in two of the great
est provinces of India hundreds
and thousands of people were
suffering all the horrors of famine,
and in another part of India 250,-
600 people in a single hour were
drowned in their beds, while 5OO,-
600 had their houses DESTROYED
and everything they possessed
swept away. This was surely not
the time when England should
have sanctioned a costly and use
less extravaganza.

what an Ohio Paper Thinks Of
HAYES.

All through the campaign Gov
ernor Hayes has lived as in the
midst of "the fierce white light
that beats upon a throne" and no
man seeing him has doubted his
absolute integrity, or his freedom
from anything that savored OF
dishonesty or unfairness. And,
in these bitter days, when the Sc
crets of the great campaign are
being relentlessly and freely ex-
posed, when every telegraph of
fee in the land has been ralled
and scraped for compromising
dispatches, when the most init,
mate friends and advisers of the
candidates have been put on the
rack of cross examination, abso-
lutely not a single tact, not one,
has been brought to light that
could, by the most bigoted parti-
san, be wrenched and tortured in
to the appearance Of a reflection
against the man whom we be-
lieve to be President elect. If
the attitude Of Governor Hayes,
during the campaign and since,
does not bring him the admira-
ton of the people, without dis
tinction Of party, for his spotless
character and the whiteness Of
his life, integrity has ceased to be
esteemed and honor and honesty
respected. IT,"

Tennessee Stone for Tennessee
Public Buildings.

A prominent stone mason was
yesterday shown samples of mar
BILE from Hamblen, Knoxville,
Loudon and Loudon counties, and
remarked, on closely examining
them, to Col. Killebrew, that he
did not see why the Nashville
Custom House should not be
built out of Tennessee marble,
when it would rank with any
marble that could be found.
We fully agree with him. II
would be a shame TO go Off to
South Carolina, or anywhere else,
for granite, when just as good, il
not better, material can be fur
nished al considerably cheaper
rates than in South Carolina,
from which State the foundation
stone of the Custom House was
obtained. 1t will be remembered
that, at the Centennial Exposi-
ton, Tennessee carried off the
honors for having the largest va
riety and for the solidity of its
marble, a vast deal of which will
weigh, on an average, $50 pounds
to the cubic foot.
We speak of this matter now,
because the foundation of the
House is about completed and the
contract for the superstructure
will soon be awarded. Tennessee
certainly ought to furnish the ma
terial for her own public bull
diugs,-[ Nashville American.

President Grants Arrange
meDts for Leaving the En-
ecutive Mansion-A Gem
erol Family Parting.

The President will leave the
Executive Mansion on Saturday
March Sd, and with Mrs. Grant
will be the guest of Secretary Fish
until their departure from the
Capital, which will he early in
April. Mr.. and Mrs. Sartoris will
take up their residence this week
with Mrs. Louis Dent, in this city,
and will remain until May, when
they will sail for Europe.
Ulysses Grant, Jr., the Presi-
dents's Secretary, will leave for
New York on March 9Th, to begin
the practice oflaw with the firm
of which he is now a member.
Col. Grant, who has been in
Washington for two winters en-
gagged in making copies of the
records of General Sheridan's
headquarters destroyed in the
Chicago fire, will return to the
headquarters of the Lieutenant
General at Chicago, at once. The
data which has been accumula-
ting since here not only embrace
the entire records of headquar-
ters. but the official material for a
full history of SheridanS' connec-
ton with the war.
The President will give no
levees nor dinners. The state
ment that he will give a farewell
dinner to his Cabinet was entire
ly authorized. The absence of
the usual Presidential levees this
winter has been the subject Of
comment. 1t can be stated that
they were abandoned on account
of the excited state Of feeling in
cident to the political contest be-
tween the friends of the candi
dates for the succession, and that,
under the circumstances, it was
thought best not to hold these
levees.
The President has no intention,
at present, of taking up his resi-
dence in this city. The house
which he owns here was taken by
him only to relieve the parties
who had purchased the ground
from him which his own house
partly occupied. Before depart
ing for Europe the President will
visit the West.
When the President leaves the
Executive Mansion the public
property will, as usual, be placed
in the custody of the Steward of
the Household.
1t is presumed that Mr.. Hayes
will arrive here shortly after the
formal declaration of his election.
After his Inauguration he will be
formally welcomed to the posses
sion of the Executive Mansion by
the President and his outgoing
abinet.-Washington Special to

'Boule,' in French, means a ball,
