We read almost daily of the accidental
shooting of some person, either by them
selves or some one else. 1t is daily oc-
currence, and we, of Pickens, have had
our share of it. A few years ago, very
estimable young man, Mr.. Hughes, was
shot and instantly killed, by one Mr..
Durham, in. the public road, one mile
from this place. Mr.. Durham was tried
for this deed and his defense was that the
shooting was pure accident, he not
knowing the pistol was loaded. he pro-
fessed the deepest penitence, and claimed
Mr.. Hughes as a near and dear friend !;
whether sincere or not we do not know.
Only few weeks ago Mr.. Hall shot and
instantly killed within two miles of this
place little negro boy about ten years
old. He also asserts that he did not
know the pistol was loaded, but pointed
at the boy and snapped it only to frighten
him, as he had often done before. He
had the pistol in his hand only short
time before the shooting, and it was then
empty. Halls step-son had loaded it in
the interim. Some time back two
young men of this County, near friends,
were together, when one of them playful
ly remarked to the other," believe I'll
shoot you," and presented the pistol,
which he held in his hand, toward his
friend, and pulled the trigger the pis-
tol fired and the ball passed through the
young mans hat, just above his head.
These are only few instances OF: the
number of accidents resulting from tho

PROSPECTS, OF PEACE IN EUROPE.

Since the defeat of the Turkish armies,
and the occupation of Adrianople by the
Russians, the Russian armies seem to
have made no further. advance. in the
direction of Galliope and Constantinople,
but to have remained comparatively
quiet, awaiting the result of the applica-
ton made by Turkey for. an armistice
with the preliminaries Of peace. Turkey,
abandoned by her former allies, lies
crushed at the feet Of Russia, and will
have to submit to such terms as Russia
may dictate. The following is the off,
cial version of the prelimiuaries OF
peace:
Probationary. for Bulgaria boun-
daries not defned) under Governor to
be appointed according to the stipula-
tions of the Constantinople Conference
the Turkish military forces to be with
drawn to certain localities to be deter
mined upon.
Second-The independence Of Rouma-
MIA, with compensation for territory near
the mouth of the Danube, which she will
make over to Russia.
| Ihird-Local autonomy for Bosnia aud
the Herzegovina and the independence
Of Servia, with territorial recti6cation.
This "rectifcation" of the Seryian from
tier NAV mean the transfer of Little
Zivornik to Servia, but in Difference to
Austria and the other Powers the ques'
tion is left quite open.)
| observation-disclosures for Monte
negro on the basis of the status quo post
6ellum, subject to the approval of the
Powers.
4 Fsfth-The cession of Batoum and pay
ment Of Indemnity in money, territory, OF
some equivalent to be determined upon.
Finally, the Sultan to undertake to
consider how to protect Russian interests
in the passage Of the Dardanelles.
The Mahommcdan power in Europe is
now utterly broken,' with no prospect OF
Its re-establishment, for although the
terms of peace are creating great excite
ment in England, yet it is not probable
that England or any other European
Power will make war, but even should
England do so, and involve Europe in q
general conflict, this could not result in
the re-establishment of the Turkish
power in Europe. That power may lin
ger for time in Asia, but its destruction
/ is certain.

The article from the Nens and 6u'Ser
headed "fhe Anderson Resolutions, !"
which appears in another column of this
issue, begins by showing that the County
of Anderson has been rewarded for her
gallant services in the last canvass by re-
ceiYing the craftsmanship Of three COM
mittees in the General Assembly, and in
quas; manner credits them to the De-
mocracy Of this County. This is small
matter, but that the whole State may.un-
|derstand the exact status, we wish once
for all TO state that Mr.. Cochran as chair
man of the Investigating Committee does
not represent the Anderson Democracy,
neither do we consider that the appoint
ment was made to Anderson County, as
our present Senator notoriously misrepre-
sents the sentiment of this County.
Messrs. Simpson and Orr are the only ex-
ponents of the Anderson Democracy, or
of the sentiment of our County, who hold
chairmanships of committees in the Cen
eral Assembly.

A RETREAT FOR FELONs.

The history OF the New Orleans custom
House since 1870, has reflected no honor
upon the United States Government
Since then until the late order of Attor-
ney General Devens, that building was
the refuge for criminals who fed from
the warrants issued against them for
violation of the criminal laws. In that
building Yarmouth, in 1871, when he
fed from outraged justice sought safety,
and in it was protected by United States
troops. Again in 1874, when the noto-
rious Kellogg with his Metropolitan
police force, and Gen. Longstreet with
his colored militia were defeated in their
attempts to disarm and enslaye the peo-.
pie OF New Orleans, aud became exposed
to the just retribution of outraged laws,
they retreated to the Custom House, and
there, with United States bayonets at
their call, found refuge. This asylum
for criminals induced the corrupt mem
bers Of the late Returning Board to feel
secure in New Orleans, for they seemed
to believe thatif they could get within
its walls that violated laws, and stern
Justice could not reach them. On last
Saturday Sheriff Houston with warrants
of arrest against Thos. @. Anderson, M.
J. Wells, L. Kenner and G. Cazenave,
went to the Custom House where they
had taken refuge, to arrest them. The
Sheriff entered the Custom House with
writs in his hands, and. was met by Chief
Deputy Marshall Wurzberger, who
stretched Ills arms across the door and
prohibited the Sheriff from entering, in
the name Of the United States, and or
dered the crowd which had gathered to
disperse. The Sheriff remained firm and
quietly insisted upon serving the writs.
In the meantime, however, Anderson's
private Secretary hastened before the
United States Commissioner and made
affidavit that the Sheriff had resisted a
Custom House officer, and had him ar
rested. The Sheriff gave bail. The ex-
citement at this time became intense and
a company of.marines from the revenue
cutter Dix, was ordered to the Custom
House, and soon arrived. Governor
Nichols Was reticent and cautious, but
at the same time determined that the
parties should be. arrested, and if guilty,
punished.
The District Attorney Ogden at once
communicated with Attorney General
De1ens, to know if the parties who had
been indicted for felony in the criminal
Courts Of the State, and had taken,refuge
in the Custom House, should be kept
there in defiance of the civil. authorities
Of the State. Attorney General Devens
promptly despatched to the United States
Marshal to throw openthe: doors OF the
Custom House to the civil authorities, as
Custom House officials had no right to
shield persons charged with felony from
any process from the Courts. Anderson,
Kenner and eazenave were arrested by
the Sheriff. and taken to- the Parish
Prison. Wells made his escape, and it is
said, fed the State. 1t is to be hoped
that the New Orleans Custom House will
no longer be q refuge for criminals. We
may. learn from the last incident whatwe
may expect of Radicalrule in the South,
if they: should, gain the ascendency.

IA fault efthe anderson IatelHgcncer, !" and
quotes as proof Of its assertion our par
agraph last week promising to pay oar
respects to It's article on 's'The Anderson
Resolutions" The little paragraph
which seems so obnoxious to our neigh.
Dor was hastily written, with several per-
sons conversing with us just before going
to press, and hence was not critically con-
aidered. We care nothing about being
considered amiable, but always like to be
courteous 10 our brethren of the press,
and hence, if the Ne,os and Courier de-
aires we will try to be1 more dignifed in
our references to it hereafter. We are
glad this journal has been SO kind as to
point out this shortcoming, and as we wish
the service to be mutual, we will remind
our contemporary that its reputation for
am1iability is, to say the least Of it, no bet
terithan ours, as its numerous tiffs with
the Jounpolof Commerce, Columbia Regis
ter, Onion Times, EdgetieM dduertiser, and
anderson late,Igencer will prove. Are
all Of these journals lacking in amiabili-
ty !; or is our Charleston friend afflicted
with the same deficiency? We are
afraid that its estimation Of amiability in
a paper requires each one to agree with
it, and hence when it thinks other papers
lackingin this quality, it is just possible
that it may occupy q position similar to
the man on the jury who thought the
other eleven were the hardest headed
men he had everseen, because they would
not agree with him on verdict. .Atany
rate we will remind our contemporary Of
the trite adage that persons who live in
glass houses should not throw stones.

be protected from the baneful influences
which sometimes emanated from the
Presidents chair itself.
But let US pass on and take practical
view of the proposition, and see how it
will effect the interests of the people gen.
orally. For eleven long, weary years the
taxpayers of South Carolina were held
subject to the rule and control of q politi.
cal party, whose sole object was to grind
them into powder, and forever keep them
so poor that they could never free them
selves from their rule. VaiDly did they
struggle to free themselves from this ter.
rible incubus, which rested like a pail
upon their lives and industries. And
when at last they wrenched themselves
from under this oppression, they found
themselves and their credit surrounded
by o net work of laws and Supreme
Court decisions which have so entangled
their financial affairs as to render an
equitable extrication therefrom almost
impossible. Confronted with mountains
of debts of every description on every
hand, the very contemplation OF which
is enough to oyerwhelm US, and embar.
rassed with selfish efforts on the part of
some of the States creditors to avail
themselves of these legal entang dement's
to force the payment Of their doubtful
claims, and being desirous amidst all our
troubles to maintain our credit, and to
paw every 'bonafed" obligation of the
State, say, Mr.. Speaker, surrounded by
these difficulties, we are in no position to
establish any kind of an institution
whatsoever, and especially are NE in no
position to establish an institution which
will work violence to the feelings of
more than half the people Of the State,
and which, if established, will be estab-
lished in the interest of few. We have
already adopted an amendment to the
constitution which will raise between
four and five hundred thousand dollars
for school purposes. In the name of
reason, if not in justice, is this not a suf-
fciently heavy burden upon our already
heavily burdened taxpayers without in.
augurating an institution which will
require thirty or forty thousand dollars
annually in addition? But the gentle
man says we can and will support the
University from the poll tax fund. 1t is
the clear intention of the constitution
that this fund should be kept in the
counties in, which it is raised, to be ap:
piled to common school purposes, and
even if different Interpretation could
be wrung from that construction, how
can he justify himself in robbing the
