Coinage Statement for the Month Of
December, 1877,
Senator Patterson.

There is something very singular iu
Senator Pstterson's sickness. This morn
ing his son reported him dying again
Tonight inquiry develops the isct that
he is improving. His doctor says pri-
vately, but positively, he is in no danger,
AMI will be able TO go TO the Senate when
it meets, If he desires. To-day there is u
curio1s rumor that sll these reports of
Patterson's dangerous condition have
been purposely manufactured, and are
merely blind to cover his
speedy resignation on the alleged
ground of ill.health. 1t is asserted to.
night that Patterson has agreed TO re-
sign, and so allow Governor Hampton to
appoint Democrat in his place, if only
it shall be agreed that he (Patterson), J,
shall be allowed TO draw the salary for
the remainder OF the term. The report
has some color OF truth. Patterson
knows he stands no show of re-eect
He has had no patronage TO speak of
since the 4th OF March. All he ex-
poets out OF the place is the
salary, sud it would be manifestly
TO his advantage TO get it all now in
lump, and by resigning remove the in
centive which his political enemies IN
South Carolina have to press the civil
and criminal suits against him. His
resignation would, of course, benefit the
Democrats, rs the appointment of a
Democrat TO succeed him would make
the parties tie in the Senate. 1t is al
legged that Hampton, wao has Senatorial
aspirations, would be quite willing TO
appoint some good friend to keep the
seat now occupied by Patterson warm
until the people OF South Carolina can
elect Hampton 10 fill it.

THREE SUICIDES.

Aye, we might write it, "Three hum
dred suicides" as truthiully as "three,"
for we scarcely pick up an exchange pa
Der, of all the great srm-load which
comes TO the REGISTER office every day,
that the chronicle of cases of self-destruc-
ton does not meet our eyes. What is
the cause? Is there a msins for self
murder sbrosd in the land2 or is the
crushing weight of financial embarrass-
ments and distress, driving people in
sane? Whatever the cause, cases OF
suicides are becoming alarmlngly ire-
quent.
Yesterday, 10 this city, HENRY DAUB,
at one time well-to do citizen, shot
himself through the heart and died on
mis- dead wiles grave.
We chronicle this morning, also, the
winiul drowning in the Muskingum
river. of 5. b. ROBINSON, Esq, brother OF
A. e. ROBINSON, ESQ., of this city. Mr.
ROBINSON has long been prominent
lawyer of Beverly, Washington county,
Ohio, and hiss from time 10 time filled
many positions of high public trust.
Thirty-two years ago Mr.. ROBINSON was
one OF the committee OF lawyers upon
whose examination and recommendation
President HAYES was admitted
to practice law. We knew
Mr.. ROBINSON well, many years ago,
and can testify to hls high standing as q
citizen and professional man.
We also print 50 account of the taking
OF his own lite of Prof. j. c. LIsISGER,

culture, an educator OF high reputation,

ALMOST A DISASTER.
A Sudden and Serious Alarm-No
Lives Lost, However

Richie Gazette, Extra.
On last Friday evening, during the
tsbleau performance at the court house,
an exciting scene took place, which Tor
moment threatened terrible disaster.
At the begin ming of the entertainment
the curtain rose upon an imitation OF
ststusry entitled VANITY" illumined by
blue fire. Scarcely was the beautiful
scene in view, when sharp scream was
heard, and bright flame shot towards
the ceiling, portion Of the curtain hsv-
ing caught fire. The house was literally
packed with people and an instantaneous
panic eDsued. Men yelled and women
screamed, while the whole multitude,
swsyed as one body towards the door.
The room IN which so many people were
thus struck with panic, is IN the second
story OF the building, but one stairway
leading to it. When it is considered that
this means of exit is not straight, and
that every available foot Of space within
the room, including the aisles, was occu-
pied, it is apparent that the danger was
imminent. Behind the people terrible
monster seemed seeking their lives, ana
in front, down that crooked stair way,
was death for weak women and helpless
children.
Meantime, however, reason had not
deserted all. Several people behind the
main curtain fought briet but decisive
battle with the creeping and swift spread
ing fire, Mrs. John B. Hallsm, Mrs. DR..
Hall, Mr.. l W. Woods and Mrs. Russell
Lsymsn proved themselves equal to the
emergency, and tore down the flaming
curtain. The latter gentleman, with
great presence OF mind, remembered that
a bucket of water was sitting beneath
the stage, and seizing it. he threw 1t
upon the fire. 1t took scarcely moment
70 accomplish this, and in that moment
the victery was won. A pound of blue
fire had caught at the first, and after that
second o. warm work, ali that remained
in anyways related to fire was The smoke
Sufficient almost to sutfOcste) from this.
At the door, casualty was preve nted
by several other persons, who retained
control OF themselves. This opens into
the narrow hall st the head of the stair
way. Seversl gentlemen. among whom
were Mr.. J. NJ. Hall, Mr. a. Patton,
Mr.. a. 5. McDougsl and Mr.. Shrews-
bury, OF Parkersbutg, closed this and
held it firmly agsirst the crowd. Then
in very short time comparative cslm-
ness was restored, although 1t was some
time before the confusion subsided sut-
ficiently for the performance TO proceed.
And thus was HarrisvIlle spared from
what, for moment, seemed destined to
be horrible catastrophe.

ing interpretations, says there ought 70
be an end to the mystery and ambiguity
which have of late shaken every
interest in the country. The time has
more than come when the government
should cease, whether at home or abroad,
to have two Voices. The public have no
wish to inquire too curiously into the
idiosyncrssies of individuals or the
secrets of the Cabinets, but the serious
and vital interests of the country would
be lmperilled by any prolongation of this
ambiguity. and the public would justly
resent any fresh encouragement to the
recent agitation. The policy upon which
the country is resolved, and TO which the
ministry are pledged, is one recommend
ed not only by expediency, but by justice
and honor, and any menace or deviation
from it can no longer be endured.

ST. PETERSBURG, January 4.-The
Journal De ST. Petersburg says that
Russia could not in the interest of peace
It, elf do otherwise than refuse all inter-
vention, and make it clearly under
stood that it must be discussed be
tween the blllegerents 1t points out that
any injury by Russia to the
Suez canal is quiet out of the
question, and if peace negotiations were
opened now the Russian occupation o.
Constantinople would be equally out of
the question. If there are any other
points Oh which British interests
might be affected, they must be OF minor
importance, and frank and loyal e1pls-
nation between the Russian and English
governments would lead 10 IN under
standing on the subject without inter-
rupLing negotiations.
