/ E.number of Russian MlnilisEs, seeing
that their views are s,ot practicable for
the present, and only bring upon these
who hold thaaa useless martydom, have
declared themselves, in proclamations
addressed to the people,, as simply Re-
publieans.. This 'deelaTatioa has been
very badly received by the real Nihi-
lists. Those residing at Geneva.,have
already published Solemn proelama-
tion" matchmaking ''the contsmptible
sescalled Republicans. AT the head of
the signatanes is Vera Sassrlitch. This
secedersq ara reproachedA with "+nn-
bounded co~aYdiee," and. it is said
further that "thesa- monsters" have
never accomplished anything impor-
tant. They have. never been able to
break with present society, and still
they like to brag of the deeds of others.
They have never, evenu perpetrated
political MURDER After eaum-
Grating all the murders accomplished by
the genuine Nihilists, the proclamation
continues: "All this we haze accom-
phshed; all this is the work of our
hands, but not of those towards and
liars who pretend to belong to us. :"
Finally, the seceders are designated as
TRAITORS" who must expiate their
treason by DEATH.

Grant has left the Pacific Coast in all
probability never to.revisit.it. : He has
been honored as man Ilever,t before was
since the steamship which brought him
to his native land, nsared the city of
San Francisco. He is now, and will be
so long as he is content with his honors,
the most popular man in the United
States, but if in mementoof weakness
ne succumbs to the politicians, ant64as-

arena as as candidate for third term,
he may find himself early in November,

by the sychopantie place-hunters who
now urge his nomination, and sunk into
comparative oblivion.

SEWER COINAGE.

The opponents of the standard dol
lar-a nd they are numerous among the
money kings of the East--are inaugu-
rating movement, the object of which
seems to, be the suppression Of the
standard dollar. Gold is arriving daily
in large quantities at New York from
Europe, principally in English and
French coins. These coins are sent inn
nediately to the Mint at Philadelphia,
where they are melted, assayed, and
coined into ten and twenty dollar
pieces. 1t takes time to accomplish
this change, and the merchants. and
bankers, who deposited them in the.
Mint complain of the delay. This delay
is alleged to be caused by the act OF
Congress, known as the "Silver Bill, p"
which makes it obligatory upon the
Secretary of the Treasury to have fEenli
1000, 900 to 81, 900, 600 Of silver coinsd
into silver dollars monthly. AS the
Secretary was opposed to- to the Silver
Bill, and predicted financial disaster,if
it became law, he is endeavorings vii h
all the m cans at his command, to. fulfill.
his prophesy. Every possible obstacle
is thrown in the way OF silver, andino
determined effort has bsen made to get
the standard dollars: into circulation.
The minimum nurYber. allowed by
law, $1,000, 900 monthly, are being
coined, and nearlYal of these are be-
ing minted at Philadelphia The Car.

delay, and their efforts wiifs most pro-
badly be seconded by Sherman, who if

A Paris omnibus, one of the very
largest three-horsed kinds, recently
broke exactly into two pieces The
first half went off with the driver, who
was unconscious of what had happened.
The hind part remained poised onits
two wheels-it is not said how long
but. all the passengers had time toget
down. Fortunately there was but few.
Only one was seated in the exact mid
die of the vehicle, an old lady who,
when the division of the omnibus oc-
curred,- was deposited somewhat sud.
denly on the pavement.

We acknowledge the receipt of the annual
Catalogue of Biddlc University, an Institution
for the education of colorcd youths, located at
Charlotte, y. g., and under the care of the Pres

From the catalogue we learn that this 1nstItu-
tion has l55 students in all the departments,
viz: . i'll Theological 40 in classical, and lO7
in English. If kept free from politics, as the
men are it will prove blessing to the colored
race and the South at large. We see in the list

Tho Union Steam Mill.


Mr.. James L. Harris, who has taken charge of
the Union Steam Mill has sent us u sample of
the wheat Flour. corn Meal and Grist he is
turning out. We pronounce the flour fully
equal to the celebrated Kenncsaw Brand in cve-
ry respect, which is placing it upon the top
round of popular favor. The meal and Grist
are equal to any we have ever eaten from any
mill.
Mr. Harris j. a young man of very superior
character--intelligcnt industrious, accommodate
ing and prompt in all business transactions
and we cannot too highly recommend him and
the mill he has charge of to those wishing to
have good grinding done.
While the firm name has been changed, Mr.
I. vi. Whitesdcs is still interested in the Mill
but other interests demands 50 much of his at
tention that he is compelled to give the charge
of it to Mr. Harris.

report of the testimony given before Il Coroncrs

well known citizen of that city, who, it is sup.
posed, was killed by blow from policeman
10y the name of Rose. While tho testimony docs
not say positively that Rose struck Mr. English
with his club, it leaves but little doubt upon the
mind of the reader as to his being the person
who dealt the fatal blow
RUMoIs OF LYNCulyG
The Columbia Register of Wednesday says
The streets were full Of rumors last night Of
threatened lynching of Rose by u body OF ni,cii
from the country. The committee from
the City Council called on the Governor i'm :
mcdiatcly after the adjournment. They found
him in consultation with citizens on the same
subject. After they had conveyed the informa-
ton III their possession the Gaycrnor sent for
the commanding officers Of the military compa-

their companies and take steps to protect the
prisoner from unlawful violence.

to made this n pleasant and agreeable trip to
those who may avail themselves of this oppor-
tunity Of enjoying the beautiful mountain see
merry everywhere visible along this new line,
which is thought by many to equal any in the
country. The train will leave Union at 5
clock A. NJ. and arrive at IIendc:sonvillc at
| l o'clock leave IIendeI sonvillc at $50 Z. NJ.
and arrive at Union 80 giving the excursion
lists ample time to look around ut this new
Mountain City neighbor which the Railroad has
given us.
Fare for the round trip is 81 90. The charge
made by the excursion train last week was
81 90 so that the intention of the present man
| agement seems to be to give us n mountain trip
for as low figure possible. 4 limited mum.

the last meeting he did not feel authorized to
