Mr.. COnkling's strut and insolence in

victory on the New York nominations.
sharp alteration occurred in executive
session this afternoon between him and
Gen. Gordon, of Georgia, which may
lead to grave personal consequences.
The latter Senator was on the floor call.
ing for the report which the Committee
on Commerce had directed Spencer, of
Alabama, to make on the nomination of
Smith rs collector of Mobile, and which
that worthy has been endeavoring to
suppress, in order to prevent the = case
from becoming vote. COnkling came
t. tina rescue If h;: nenchmen by calling
OUT in i0uu md peremptory tones. "Go
on with the calendar"
General Gordon rebuked this rude in
terruption, by remarking that he was
conducting the public business, and that
the Senator from New York had no right
TO give orders to the Vice President.
Conkling affected not to hear this re-
mark, and asked the Senator from Geor-
gia what he said7 Whereupon General
Gordon repeated his remark. Conkling
replied, thae if the Senator from Georgia
stated that he was giving orders to the
Vice President, he stated what was not
true. Gordon ut once reststed what he
had said. Whereupon Conkling repeated
again, speaking alphabetically, "that if
the Senator stated that he had given
orders to the Vice President, he stated
wha. was not true" Very we'll, said
Gordon, we will settle that. "Yes," said
Conkling, 1--WE will eettle i here" "No,"
retorted Gordon with emphasiu, I've will

course, highly exciting.

that the two Senators had misunderstood
one another, and that no personal reflec-

It would seem that his pacific explanation
Of the affair had not been authorized by

that Mr.. Conkling has privately stated
that he intended no reflection upon Gen.

England is greatly concerned over the
prospect of settlement of the Russo
Turkish war, which will prove disastrous
to her interests, and is preparing TO avert
the calamity which threatens her Eastern
interests. An extra session of Parliament
has been called for the 18th Of January,
and the whole nation seems greatly ex-
cited. The discovery that Prussia and
Austria are friendly to Russia, and that
they will not intcrposo to prevent the
contamination of q peace upon the terms
offered by Russia has placed new as
pect upon the English situation, and for
the first time in centuries, Great Britain
finds herself not only slightcd by the
powers of Europe, but sees that peace
is about to be effected upon terms which
destroy her practica! monopoly of the
Dardanelles and opens the way for further
serious losses, and that she is not to be
consulted in the matter at all 1t is i'm
possible to predict what course England
will pursue, but in any event it is pretty
safe to predict that whatever policy she
may adopt British interests will suffer.
The only wonder is that she has not per-
ceived this sooner. For once she has
been entirely overreachcd in diplomacy,
and now that the injury has been virtual
ly accomplished she begins to act To rem
edy, it US she should have done months
ago to prevent it.

The House of Representatives, by O
vote Of sS to %, passed the joint resolu-
ton TO amend the Constitution of this
State SO as to require minimum tax for
educational purposes of two mills, and
the joint resolution will become law.
This action seems to us wise and proper.
Tho measure had been adopted ny the
people, and the faith of our parry was
pledged to it, and outside CT these con.
alterations it was good policy and expo
dient to adopt it. The free school Is the
most important of all institutions to the
masses of our people, and should, above
everything else, be liberol!y fostered.
We. have never known any country to
have too much money spent in sdicatic.:.
Two mills can be most advantageously
used, and after number of years will
show the most satisfactory results in the
increased prosperity and education Of our
people.

Honest John J. Patterson has been
quite i'll in Washington during tie past
week, from nervous prostration, caused
by the excitement and worry over the
incidents connected with his Senatorial
life and the prosecutions now hanging
over him in this State. His relatives
and friends were summoned to his bed
side several days ago in the expectation
of his speedy death. He has, however,
not accommodated their expectations,
and is slowly improving. although he is
very weak. Patterson is not one Of the
kind Of men to be killed by the stings OF
q conscience-he hns not enough Of this
commodity to hurt him.

THE BORDER TROUBLE.

For some time past great excitement
has prevailed in aud around FL Paso
County, Texas, owing to the cr:sis::$;::o,.s
between the Mexican bon subjects and
other citizens of that portion of the State,
growing out Of the following facts:
'The Mexicans In tbs vicinity of Ell
Psso are governed by Juntas, on gather
ings of tho people, and whatever these
;; gatherings resolve is the common law.
Long since the salt lakes near El Faso
had become the resort of all In need of
salt, and we're declared public property.
But they were really under tho hand OF
the State, and when gentleman at Aus
tin, with Mr.. Howard as his agent, pro-
posed to make these lakes q private pos.
session by taking them up under the
laws Of the State governing the location
of lands, popular opinion rebelled against
this unaccustomed mode of doing things
in that quarter, and tho juntas declared
that these lakes were common property
ty light of long common use, the State
iatcj TO the contrary notwithstanding.
Howard, of course, contended for his
rig hts, the Mexicans found n willing
lea der and champion In his enemy, Louis
Cards, parties were organized, o:a thing
led to another, and all resulting in the
disgraceful broil which eliminated in
the death OF Cards at the hands of How
ard and the birth Of feeling which may
| not die outuntil the Mexican spirit which
predominates shall have been put down
by force and with hlnodshed."
', The Sheriff of tho County, with small
posse of Texas Rangers, were endeavoring
to preserve order md enforce the rights
OF property under the laws, but were
menaced by strong fcsce of the Mexi-
can citizens, and beGieged in such vigo-
rous manner as to compel them to sur
render on the 18th inst. On the following
day Gen. Sheridan received the following
telegram from Capt. Blair, commandant
at I U5 Bliss:
''Ihe Texas Rangers at san Elizario

DEATH OF DIR. REYNOLDS.

Rev. james Lawrence Reynolds, DID,,
Professor of Latin and Roman Litera-
ture In Furman University. departed
this life on last Wednesday morning.
after u brief Illness from neuralgia OF
the heart. DR.. Reynolds was one of the
pnrest gentlemen, as we'll as one of the
most accomplished scholars of our State,
and his sudden demise has been heard
with sincere regret throughout our whole
State. A native Of South Carolina, he
has shared the honors as we'll as the trials
of our commonwealth, and has contrib
uted much to its literature and learning.
DIR. Reynolds was son of George n.
Reynolds, Esq, Of Charleston, and was
born March 18th, 1872. He graduated
at the Charleston College, and afterwards
at Newton Theological Seminary, and
returned to this State as pastor of the
Columbia baptist Church. He was af-
terwards President of the Georgetown
College, in Kentucky, of which Rev. B.
Manly, Jr., is now the presiding officer
DR.. Reynolds afterwards filled several
Profcssorships in our State University,
and remained in this work es one of the
most efficient members Of the faculty
until the University went down by the
course pursued by the Radicals, upon
which he resigned and accepted Pro-
fessorship in Furman University. AS an
orator DR.. Reynolds was forcible, elegant
and eloquent; as writer he was CLASH
cal, clear and pleasaEt as q scholar he
was profoundly eriiiite, and az =, gentle
mamie had no superior. A :seful life
has been terminated, and it " i'll be diiH.
