| 4 Marshal Nearly Killed In South CnrO-
lima for Showing His Commission on
Election Day.
WASHINGTON, November lG.-Thc fol-
lowing letter from 4 prominent citizen OF
Charleston, $. G., gives all account of the
treatment of a Deputy United States Mar
shall while acting in the discharge Of his
duty at the late election, and his subse-
quent arrest and imprisonment by the
local authorities:
During the counting OF the votes on tho
night OF the 9Th inst, at the poll in the
toNn OF Orangeburg, in the county Of the
same name and in this Congressional Dis
trict, Sandy Kctt, regular United States
Deputy Marshal, cndcavorcd to obtain adj
mission to the room where votes were be-
ing counted. Upon being refused admiS-
sion he exhibited his commission as a Uni
ted States Deputy Marshal Without any
act Of violence on his part, the State con-
stables ut once seized him andhurriod him
Off to Jail. The next morning Trial JUS
| tice OF the State issued warrant against
him, charging him with attempting to
force himself into the room where votes
were being counted. Remember, the law
Of South Carolina requires the counting Of
votes in public, and under the law Of
South Carolina he had rs citizen right
to witness the count.
Kcitt's trial was fixed for last Monday,
but on that day by instruction Of District
Attorney Northrup, United States Com
missioner, who went from Columbia to
Orangeburg, issued warrants under Section
1922 for all parties who had intcrfcrcd
with Kcitt while in the discharge Of his
duties, and who had refused him permits
sion TO witness the count. Next day,
while Kcitt was quietly standing in the
street Of Orangcburg, he was surrounded
by n crowd OF Democrats, including those
whom he had arrested. Some drew their
pistols to keep Kcitt's friends from coming
10 his rescue, while others beat and cut him
fearfully. After nearly killing him, Kcitt
was carried or 10 jail while his assailant-
were allowed to walk Off undisturbcd. He
is now lying in Jail for having the aulacity,
in the State Of South Carolina, to exhibit n
commission from the Government Of the
United States, and that Government is
pOwcrlCss to protect him.

Tie Facts In Regard 10 Electric Light
Thus Far.

The electric light is already used in sew.
cral factories in this country, and its use
seems to be extending.
The circumstances are favorable to its
employment in large workshops. There
is always in these concerns n supcrabund-
Rncc OF motive power, and the work of
driving the electric machines whiCl.sup-
ply the means for lighting can therefore be
performed substantially without cost. As
most large factories manufacture their own
gas, the loss which will follow the intro.
duction Of electricity, by rendering useless
the costly plant for tho production OF gas,
will fall upon the shoulders 'Of the very
people who are TO I've benefited by the re-.
luCliOn Of expense. As II rule, too, more
light is needed in these shops than * nc.
tually employed ut present owing to the
high cost Of gas; and the electric lamp
sccms to supply this need at the same time
that II IL reducing the cost. So much
seems to have been already demonstrated.
In addition, the light in some Of 'hc lamps
before the public IL steady, pleasing to the
eve, and well diiIuscd, casting no deep
shadows. It's not yet fully demonstrated
that the electric light Is cheaper than gus

be so. but the iart is yet to he shown in

ton.

From the Valley virin,an.
In brief conversation with Hon. \. II.
II. Stuart the other day, he expressed the
confident belief that the country was on
the threshold OF uncXamplcd prosperity,
and the time was not far in the distance
when the evidences OF it would be mani
Tested in industrial activity and inter
change OF all kinds of property, especially
real estate. The verdict OF the people in
the northern and western States in favor
OF honest money and the financial policy Of
the Government he regards Us healthy
sign, and the assurance that We are to have
substantially no interference with the
methods now being pursued to restore
the business oil the country TO normal
condition. He further expressed the be-
lief that the result OF the elections on the
9TH OF November substantially settled the
grccnback question, at the same time it
indicated that the Republicans would take
another lease OF power TO continue for
twelve years to come. The Democracy
had every reason to justify the conclusion
that they would elect the President in
1850, until they commenced TO pander to
the initiation policy, but now he could see
no encouraging sign to favor them in the
next Presidential contest. Mr.. Stuart is
very pronounced against the grcenbaCk
folly, and considers it n, reflection upon
the American people to presume that they
will recognize any other financial system
than that which is based upon the money
OF the Constitution and vindicatcd by the
experience OF all civilized governments.
