DISTRESSING CASUALTT-FATAI. ACCIDENT
70 Miss RyBECCA MYEES.-Iesterday after
noon between ) and O'Clock Miss Rcbcc-
CA MYERS, an old and wel-known citizen, was
instantly killed by fall at the residence OF
her connection, Mrs. Matte Myers (Mr.
Willie Mvcrs's widows home), on the
corner OF Ninth and Marshall streets. Miss
Rebecca, in company with her sister, Miss
Ella Myers. went up during the early part
OF the afternoon to pay young Mrs. Myers
a visit Indeed, it has been the habit OF
these ladies TO spend much OF their time
there When the hour came for the two
ladies 10 leave, they started down stairs,
Miss Rcbccca holding Miss Ella by the
hand. the formers sight being bad. They
had nearly reached the bottom OF the
fight OF steps when Miss Rcbecca
lost her balance or stumbled and
fell. striking her head against the side OF the
wall, producing death instantly from con-
cusSion of the brain. Physicians were sum-
moned and every effort possible made to
restore the dcary-lovcd lady to conscious
ness. but al in vain; and the family,
shocked beyond measure, realized the truth
OF the Scrptural quotation, "In the midst
Of life we are in death" About 81 O'Clock
las. evening the body was removed TO the
late residence OF the deceased, on Broad
street nearly opposite the Monumental
church, where number OF loving friends
and relatives called to extend their sympa-
thy and offer their services.
Miss Rcbccca was between screnty-fvc
and eighty years OF age. and was not only
we'll known but dearly loved. She was, too,
the representative Of 4 generation that has
nearly passed away. 1t Is almost needless
10 say that the family will have the heartfelt
sympathy OF every one in the community.

| VIRGINIA SOCIAL-SCIENCE ASSOCIATIONS
The debt OF the United States is put down
q. in round numbers at $4,000, 100000, and OF
| Virginia S30,000,000. This State has to pay
not only her fair proportion OF the national
debt, but by reason OF the special taxes
upon tobacco, her great staple, far more
than her part. Her honor and her Interests
alike demand the payment OF her own debt,
while the same property and persons upon
whom the necessary enactions must be I'M
posed are liable TO a large corporate and
county, to say nothing OF individual, in
debtedness. It is therefore 4 subject OF the
greatest interest to Virginia how these
enormous burdens are to be so equally dis
tributed as to be borne not easily but at all.
A number OF citizens of Richmond pro-
pose to agitate and discuss in all OF its
bearings this important subject. 1t is a
great subject. and involves number OF
factors in order to make the demonstration
complete. Their plan is to organize In this
city what they propose to call "Ihe flr-
ginia Social-Science Association" and to
solicit the people generally OF the city to
become members ut an annual cost or one
dollar-the entire receipts to be devoted to
publishing essays and letters upon queS-
tions OF public interest and circulating them
among the people. AS soon as this Asso-
citation Is organized in Richmond they pro-
pose to correspond with gentlemen in all OF
the cities and towns Of the State, and through
spondcnce to establish similar organ
izations in those places. This plan Of organ
ization and work has, it is believed, proven
very etiectual in the old countries, and many
valuable reforms have been thus brought
about. Popular attention can thus be at
tractpd tn nublic questions and inquiry an d
thought stimulated, whereby the aggregate
knowledge Of the community can be in
creased to the great advantage OF the State.
Even if the experiment should fail, which
is hardly probable, the trifing loss to the
subscribers will not be felt.
The gentlemen who have undertaken this
matter, whose names will be shortly given
to the public, will doubtless persevere, and
be encouraged by a longlis of subscribers
in the beginning-to embrace the merchant,
the mechanic, the laborer, and all other
classes OF society who feel an interest in the
general welfare. The Association is to be
entirely non-partisan.

Judge Guigon's little courtroom was
packed with eager spectators all during the
Crittenden trial yesterday. The interest
was greater than ever. Hundreds who de
sired to hear the speeches had to be turned
away after the room was filed. The tap
ping upon the doors by those who wanted
to gain admittancc, and took that method
OF appealing to Deputy-Scrgeant Macon,
was unccasing as the roll Of the British
drum. The prisoner seemed in good spirits
and not distrustful OF the result. Captain
George D. Wise, Commonwealth's Attorney
made his opening argument, and was fol-
lowed by General Field and MIR. Barbour
for defence. At few minutes before !
last night the court was adjourned until II
O'Clock this morning.
The case will certainly be given to the
iurY today.

THE ASSOCIATE JUSTICE.

Among all the candidates who are
seekers for, or mentioned in connection
with this position, there is no man who
stands higherin his professional character,
or who Is more universally respected and
admired for the many virtues which mark
him as o gentleman anu patriot of the

Gowan, ofAbbeville. No man has led a
more gallant and unselfsh career than he
has in EVERY public trial, whether it be
in military or civic life. His rare and
brilliant attainments at the bar eminent
ly qualify him for the highest judicial
honors, and there is no man in this State
in whose elevation the people would feel
more just pride. He was decidedly the
popular candidate Of this section for the
United States Senste, and nothing bat
the force Of extraordinary and unusual
circumstances could OF this time have
prevented his election as Chief Justice.
From the very moment that he withdrew
as candidate for Chief Justice, there
should have been no hesitation, no doubt,
no hating by the members of the Gen
eral Assembly in reaching Q conclusion
to elect him to the Associate position.
No man IN the State deserves moro oi
the Democratic party, and no man has sc
many friends among all pnrtiea. We dc
not believe that we exnggerate in saying
that General MCGOWAN could carry three
votes to where any other man mentioned
for the position would get one before the

THE UsUBY LAW.

The General Assembly is now consid-
ering the propriety of re-enacting the
old Usnry Law Of South Carolina, where
by the charge for loaning money was
limited to seven per cent. per annura.
This is very important measure, and we
think its agitation should have been de-
ferred to tho next regular session OF the
Legislature, but as the matter is squareIy
before the present session we, think it
should bs permanently disposed Of, for
its continual agitation is injurious to the
country by producihga o feeling of unrest
among capitalists, which, instead of re-
ducing the rate Of intere1t, tends to keep
it high. Therefore, although in some
respects we think the season for enacting
Q usuTy Law awinopportune, yet as the Leg
islature is called upon to adopt or reject
it, we hope it will become 8 law without
further delay. 40 defeat the Bill at this
time would be. to prejudice it's passage
next Fall; and therefore every effort
should now be brought to bear, to secure
its success. That 9 Usuryi, Law would

The President aad his Cabinet have
decided to call no extra seasion Of Con-
gress before the 10Th of October, as they
profess to be able To get along without
any appropriation during the meantime.
The real cause, however, is that Mr.
Hayes was expecting to receive enough
Southern Democratic votes to elect a
Republican Speaker of the National
House, but finds that he will at present
surely fail. de has postponed the extra
session TO endeavor by his Southern
policy to secure the needed votes. In
this, however, we predict that he will
signally fail, and that when Congress
meets in October the Democratic phalanx
will be more solid than i. is even now.
