Hon. VIM. Thompson, of Burlingame,
was in the city yesterday. Mr.. Thomp-
sons name is prominently mentioned as
a candidate for attorney general at the
approaching Republican state conven-
ton. We have known the gentleman by
reputation for some years, and believe
him well fitted for the place. \ large
number of the papers of the State have
spoken in the most favorable terms of
his candidacy, and he is handsomely en-
dorsed by the Usage Chronicle, printed
in his own town. Mr.. Thompson is

THE POLITICAL HOROSCOPE.

II Is now nearly two months since the
Democracy, with n noisy flourish OF
trumpets, and an amount of rant and
rustian not equaled even in the annals of
that windy party, tricked themselves
out in military trappings at Cincinnati,
and endeavored to hide the hideous de
formities of their treason-dyed party be-
hind the figurc-head of Union soldier.
The froth and fume which followed this
remarkable performance has subsidized,
and the voters of the country, having
had time and opportunity to thoroughly
canvass the real issues of the campaign,
are already beginning to manifest an I'M
mistakable sentiment of condemnation
for the party which has sought, under
false pretenses, to establish n claim TO
the suffrages ofthe people. The reading,
thinking citizens of the American Re
public, have not been slow to recognize
the fact that tho party which has filled
the air with its noisy clamor for a
"changc" and it promises of future
achievements, is the selfsame organiza-
ton that gave up TO the Republicans in
81 a plundered treasury, scattered
army and disbanded navy; that inaug
urated a rebellion which cost the coun
try over $1,000, OOO, 900; that sympathiz
cd with treason and encouraged seces-
sion; that opposed, by all
of its authoritative expressions
the war to maintain the Union; thai
fought inch by inch every effort of the
Republican party TO keep inviolate the
credit of the nation; that pronounced
the war a failure just on the eve of ,
great victory; that, after the fruits o
that victory were garnered, denounced

After lapse of very nearly II month,
Wade Hampton comes out with new
version of his Staunton speech, in which
all reasonable utteranccs are carefully
eliminated, and declares that that is the
only report of the address that has re-
ceived his personal endorsement" In
other words, he seeks, by crafty Undue
ton, 10 convey the idea that he never
made use of the language in reference to
the principles for which Lee and Jack
son fought for four years" 1t would
not, perhaps, be strictly in accordance
with the rules of dignificd journalism to
accuse United States senator of lying,
but, to draw it quite mild, General
Hampton certainly belongs to that class
of persons who should be gifted will

He will make another by exhibiting
himself in America, and then we sup
pose he will make a third by visiting
Europe. The doubts that were
thrown on the bona fdes of the much
paraded fast will not diminish as the
dollars accumulate, and particularly
when it is borne in mind how clever
the Yankees are in befooling people

From the Spectator.

A rumour has reached London which for
several reasons deserves notice. It is sta
ted, with some authority, that the Powers
concerned believe that peace in the East
would be more strongly secured if the line
of Gilman, which is worn out, were inal.
ly deposed. 1t would be replaced by the
family of Mehemet Ali of Egypt, and Ibra-
him Pasha's dream would thus be realised.

The Government, it is believed, Is about

the money might be used in n or

suffered in the storm.
From the Cleaner we take the fol-
lowing items:
ave learn that in all probability
the Atlas Co.'S steamer "Atlas" will he
stationed to trade round the Island at
the beginning of the year. When we
piece this information with the state
ments that have been ahoat as to the
appointment of Atlas agents at vari-
GUS ports, the conclusion is forced on
us that as the Atlas Company sought
to obtain the subsidy for Island SER
vice, it has been successful and will
begin its new operations at an early
date. If the subsidy has not been
already granted, we may be confident
that the shrewd managers of the
Company would not take these adj
vanced measures unless they were
ware that their rivals had failed in
the contest. The position of the Atlas
Company pointed it out from the first
as likely to obtain the subsidy.
The necessity for regular steam
communication round the Island, by
large and comfortable steamers has
long been apparent. Transit by
drogher may be cheap, but it is mas
ty for passengers and risky for goods.
The storm of August last brought
matters to a crisis by destroying ma
ny of the small craft employed in the
carrying trade. Steamers will there
fore supply a great want, while by
the development of local traffic they
will give occupation to the sailing
vessels they supplant on the longer
voyage. The Importance of this
steam service in the fruit trade can
not be oyerestimated."

ell, the great Lion Tanner, who ex-

HORRIBLE OUTRAGE IN AMHERsT-A
Negro FSead Lynched. Last Monday even
ing bright mulatto, who gave his name
as "Mr. Columbus Miles," called at the
house of Mr.. Miller, a poor but highly re-
spected resident of Amherst county and
familiarly known as ''Well-digger Miller,'
and told Miller's daughter that he had
been sent to escort her to party ID the
neighborhood. It seems that she agreed
to accompany him on a horse, and after
going short distance he made certain i'm
proper advances, which she indignantly
repulsed, and finally escaped from him
and returned to her home. The negro fol-
lowed her back home. and, producing a
pistol, frightened the lady's father, an
old man, and a little brother. so that they
made NO resistance, and then forced the
young lady to accompany him to a school
house, some distance away, where he bru-
tally outraged her person. He then fled,
but was OverJaken and captured near
Lexington, brought back and tried before
Justice Goodwin, who ordered him to be
sent to jail, and placed him under a guard
of seven Or eight men, to secure his safety.
When the guards with their prisoner ap-
preached Sandige's mills, on Friday, they
were met by an armed force of thirty or
forty men, who fired off their guns and
frightened the guard, after which they
took charge of the prisoner. and, taking
him to a cOlOred church, about three hum
dred yards off. hung him on tree. His
body was found, stiff in death, Sunday
morning, hanging on the tree. Though a
summary retrlbution, the general impress
sion seems to be that it was richly meri-
ted.-Lyaachburg Neocs.
