SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS.

The Greenville Neps notes the fact that
several patches of barley in that county head
ed out finely, and we're cut for green food for
stock, since which they have put out second
growth, not of barley, but of oats. The An
derson IntelHgencer noticed the same thing to
very marked extent in patches upon the lot
Of Hon. j. S. Murray, in that town.
- The Intelhgencsr says the telephone is
being successfully used in Anderson. One
has been put up connecting the Methodist
Church with the residence of DR.. w. T. Hol-
land, a distance of about one hundred yards,
and DR.. Holland, who has been confined to
his bed for months, is able to hear the whole
of the church services, including the music.
The arrangement is said to be complete sue
cess.
- The following paragraph, which is found
in the New York Evening Post, of Monday,
probably contains the last we shall ever hear
of the project of Mr.. Peter Cooper in regard
to the Limestone Springs property: "Mr' Pc
ter Cooper has given up the scheme of found
ing a college for women in South Carolina.
It is said that the representations made to him
concerning the disposition of the people of
this State to forward the scheme were not
strictly founded on facta."

MERE.MENTION.

Ex. Governor Chamberlain, as counsel for
Corbin, has appeared before the privileges
and elections committee in behalf of his client
in the contest with Butler. The committee
was in secret session. ''.'''''' Hon. A. 81. Ste-
phens, of Georgia, has written lengthy let
ter, in which he sets forth what he terms the
mischevous and revolutionary character Of
the Potter resolution, and expresses the firm
belief that the Presidents title cannot be as
sailed without disturbing the peace of the
country. "......"Mr. Potter, author of the in
vestgation resolution, has written lengthy
letter, to a friend, on the subject of the inves-
tigation. He says the cry of revolution" is
on ly Republican pretence, raised for parti.
san purposes. '''''''''A terrific cyclone passed

PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS.

In the Senate on the 9th, Mr.. Beck, OF
Kentucky, introduced a bill to repeal exist.
ing taxes on capital and deposits on bankers
and banks, and to impose taxes on dividends
in excess of eight per cent. Referred to the
committee on finance. A bill forbidding the
further retirement of legal tenders was taken
up, but after being called was postponed.
The bill for the government of the District
of Columbia was passed. In the House, Mr..
Wood, of New York, introduced bill to es-
tablish a permanent sinking fund. Mr..
Vance, of North Carolina, offered bill to
amend the bankrupt law, so as to secure to
the debtor his homestead to the value Of
$1,000 and $500 of personal property. The
army appropriation bill was got out of the
committee of the whole and in the House.
The amendment increasing the army to 25,'
900 men was defeated by two majority. The
force, therefore, is fixed in the bill at 10000.
A final vote on the passage of the bill was
not reached. The House in committee of
the whole adopted the amendment to the ar
my bill transferring the Indian Bureau to the
War Department.
In the Senate, on the 28th, Mr.. Mcpherson,
of New Jersey, submitted resolution de-
claring that it is unwise and inexpedient for
Congress, at the present session, to change the
existing rate of tax on manufactured tobacco.
He asked for the present consideration of
the resolution, but objection was made by Mr.
Withers, of Virginia, and it was laid over.
Mr.. Hamln, of Maine, from the committee
on foreign relations, reported a bill provi'
ding for the payment of the award made by
the Fishery Commission at Halifax, under
the treaty of Washington placed on calen'
dar. The amendments by the House to the
District bill were non-concurred, and com
mittee of conference ordered. The Senate
passed, without amendment, the House bill
for the retirement of legal tenders. The fol-
lowing is the text of the bill Be it enacted
&C., That from and after the passage Of this
act, it shall not be lawful for the Secretary oi
the Treasury, or other officers under him, te

dance with divergent political predictions.
The prominence of the persons involved ex.
cites considerable impatience for further tes'
timony to be taken on the subject. The com.
mittee, at the instance of the Republican mem
bers, has subpenaed Judge Campbell, for:
merly Judge of the Fourth District Court OF
louisiana. 1t is claimed that he will testify
that Anderson made oath before him to the
protest which he (Anderson) denied having
sworn to. Ex.Marshal Pitkin has also been
summoned as a witness in rebuttal Of GER
tain portions of Anderson's testimony.

SERIOUS CAUSE FOR ALARM.


We are no alarmists, nor do we think a
newspaper is justi6able, in any circumstances,
to excite the public mind, unless there is real
ly impending danger foreboding serious con-
sequences. Then a note of warning should
be sounded by the press, so that the necessary
means might be adopted to avert the threat
ened calamity. We are led to these reflections
from the fact, that our people are unconscious.
ly, to all human appearance, reposing listless-
ly upon huge iceberg that is liable to an
eruption at any day, scattering them to the
four winds, and blowing the entire fabric of
the Government to atoms. The assiduity
with which Captain Gardner, for the past
several afternoons, has been drilling bis CON-
pany, the Jenkins Rifles, and the zeal evinced
by the men, preparatory to presenting a
creditable appearance at the celebration Of
their first anniversary, to-day, is we'll calcu-
lated to alarm every person who has the per.
petuity of the Union at heart. Had the edit
or of the Washington Republican been pres
ent and witnessed the proceedings of the men
when they went into the revolutions, as the
Georgia captain termed it, we verify believe
be would have hastened to advise the Presi-
dent to put the Army in motion at once.

The teachers have been paid for three
months services in majority of the school
districts, and in several of the school districts
all the claims for services, during the present
year, have been paid in full, and there still
remains balance in the hands of the treas.
urer in favor of these school districts. The
system is beginning to work harmoniously
and pro6tably to the people generally. Eve
ry person, rich and poor, is not only willing
to accept of the educational facilities pro-
vided by the State, but it is universally
claimed as right by all.
The schools will be opened under most fa-
vorable circumstances, so soon in July as the
people are ready to send their children to
them. We are glad to know that there is
no discount on teachers pay certificates for
services rendered since the present admins
tration began to operate.
FIRE AT ROCK HILL.
We are panied to record distressing ca.
lamty which befel our neighboring town,
Rock Hill, on Monday night last. A disas-

buildings in the business part of the town.
From what we have been able to learn, the
fire originated in the shoe and grocery store of
j. c. Sharpe, on the corner of Railroad and
Main streets, by the careless handling of a
lamp. The building being of wood the flames
rapidly spread, attacking the adjoining build
ings, on both streets, destroying everything
to, and including McElwee's store on Main,
and j. A. Wiliford's house on Railroad
street, and three buildings near the depot on
the opposite side of the street.
The sufferers are as follows: j. N. McEl-
wee, groceries T. G. Robertson, drugs; j. M.

Deadwood Times.

DeduWOOu lines.
The election in this territory last Tuesday,
decided very emphatically and distinctly one
issue in which the people of the whole terri
tory are vitality interested, and that as, their
numerical, %censical ability, aggregately con-
sidered, to constitute a state" We have
the population, we have the votes, and with.
out reference to the election of Tuesday last,
we insist, that our population as represented
by those voters, have the intelligence, educa-
ton and mother wit to organize themselves
into an independent, self controlling, free
government, as will rank in the front and
from the beginning as one of the first and
foremost of the galaxy. This year we have
polled 10000 votes Two years ago we polled
only 5000 votes thus showing an increase Of
10000 voting population in two years. We
therefore, according to these statistics,-snd
" facts don't lea larger population
than Texas, Minnesota, Kansas, Nebraska,
Nevada or Oregon had upon their admission
and We are growing with a rapidity and vol
ume as not one of those states can compare
to. In two years more we have every reason
to believe that our population will increas
in a like proportion, so that in the presiden-
tial contest Of 1880, we can fairly and legit.
imately record a vote Of from $4,000 to 49,
600 which will give us a precedence Of COL
orado, Nevada and Nebraska in the west,
and Of Delaware and Rhode Island in the
east. These are facts which cannot be gain.
sayed or c~ontroverted. and if brought TO the
attention of the country and Of congress our
rights and privileges as a free and independ-
ent people, capable of self-government will
be conceded and acknowledged. Facts and
figures are on our side, and therefore, let us
all go to work in dead earnest, regardless Of
future political combinations, and unite our
voices and strength for a free and indepen.
dent state-and then we can fight for our local
and county offices thereafter as "seemeth to
US best"
