- Washington letter: "It was given
out some weeks since that Mr.. +. A.
Walker, the superintendent of the CEN
sus, had determined to recommend to the
President the names Of persons deemed
suitable for census supervisors without
regard to politics. 1t was said that with
this understanding it might be assumed
that about one-half of the supervisors
gould be appointed from among Demo
Gratis, and so far as the South was con-
cerncd that all, or very nearly all, of
them would come from the Democratic
party. The Republican senators and
members have generally expressed dissat-
isfaction at this, as in addition to other
objection they allegc that Democratic
supervisors in the South will be apt to
exaggerat, the amount of population i'll
order to retain if not increase the pres
cnt representation of the South in the
lower house of Congress. Asa consequence
of this feeling several Republican sena-
tors lately called on Mr.. Walker to ask
that Republican supervisors be appointed
in the South, but they came away quite
dissatisfied, and some of them charge Mr..
Walker with being a Democrat or a
Bristow Republican, which they say is no
better. These senators either do not
consider or willfully ignore the fact that
if capable men are to be appointed in
the South they must necessarily, to 4
great extent, be taken from the Demo-
cratic party in that section. 1t is under
stood that a list of supervisors as made
out by Mr.. Walker has been completed,
and is now in the hands of the secretary
of the interior, VIII" will revise it, and
then hand it to the President, who may
also make some changes before sending
it to the Senate.

HOMICIDE IN OcoNEE.-We regret
that we are called upon to chronicle an
other homicide in our county. On last
Thursday, John Barnes, an old man,
and for long time a citizen of White
Water Township, was killed near
his house by being stabbed with a knife
in sudden fracas, which, we are told, he
began by striking and choking Milton
w. w. Nicholson. 1t seems that Barnes,
who had been living as renter, on the
land of w. ]. Dufie, was about rcmov-
ing to another State and had wagons
ready to load his property. By previous
arrangement, General w. T. Erwin, as
surveyor, had gone to the place on that
day with young Nicholson and his father
as chain carriers, to run CT strip of the
land to W. F. Corbin, who had contract
ed for it from Duffie. BY reason of some
misunderstanding as to some of the
property, the parties had concluded not
to run the land that day, and had start
ed home, when Barnes approached
young Milton Nicholson and began to
abuse his father, he (Nicholson) saying
and doing nothing. Barnes then struck
him once or twice and caught him by
the throat. Nicholson tried to defend
himself, and in the melee the crowd gath
cred around the parties and it was soon
discovered that Barnes was bleeding.
He died in short time. the femeral ar
terry having been cut in two places. The
evidence on the inquest, we hear, is con-
ficting and unsatisfactory, and there is
much difference of opinion as to what
person did the cutting. Milton w. w.
Nicholson youth about eighteen years
old, with whom Barnes was engaged, has
been arrested, or, rather, came forward
and gave himself up, and is now lodged
in jail at Walhalla. Young Nicholson
and the parties who went with him to
run land were perfectly sober, but we
are informed that Barnes was drinking.
We forbear further comment, as the mat
ter will undergo judicial investigation

AUGUSTA, Me-, Jan. 81.
Three companies of troops and Cat
ling gun now garrison the State House.
When the Republicans meet this fore
noon there will be as little show of arms
as possible, and the soldiery will be kept
in the back ground. The Republicans
apparently feel strengthened this morn.
ing and are generally urging the disper-
sion of the Fusionist Legislature.
mo fooling any longer" is the Repub-
lican talk to-day. The State House is
converted into sort of barracks. Stoves
have been set up in the cellar to cook
rations of beef, &C., for soldiers.
The Republican Governor is strongly
urged at once to disperse the Fusionist
Legislature and government, but whethc-
he acts before the first of next week 10
doubtful.
By Sunday night the State troops will
all be under arms. The Republican au-
thorities assert that if there is civil
war, the responsibility rests upon the
Fusionists.
BosToN, Jan. 2G.-The Hcralds Au.
gusta special says that the Fusion Senate
met to-day, with only seven members,
and took recess to p. M. 1t is now
thought that after hearing what the
Supreme Court has to say to the Fusion
statement and questions, Governor Davis
will issue proclamation calling on the
Fusion Government to disperse, and will
enforce it by arrests. 1t is thought that
Wednesday will be the last day of the
dual government.
LATER-Both Houses of the Fusion
Legislature reassembled at o'clock, but
adjourned without transacting any busi-
ness. The Fusionists are in better spirit
to-day. Most of their men have re-
turned and will remain until an answer
is received from the Supreme Court.
Both branches of the Republican Leg
islature passed resolutions providing for
constitutional amendment for electing
the Governor by plurality instead of a
majority vote. The Senate appointed a
committee to investigate the enlistment
and enrolments of men and on the loss
of the State seal.

MIR. EDITOR: For the information of
our citizens generally, you have kindly
consented to re.publish the above Act of
the Legislature on the subject of drain
age. There can be no subject of more
vital importance to our citizens generally
than the proper drainage of our bottom
lands, and the Legislature showed a
proper appreciation of the subject when
they wisely passed the above Act. 1t is
believed by some of our best physicians
that very large proportion of all the
fever cases in our County can be traced,
directly or indirectly, to the lack Of
proper drainage on swamp lands. When
once the malaria is generated, favor
able wind may watt the poison for miles,
and infect whole neighborhoods living at
remote distance. Thus it will be seen
that our citizens are all interested in the
proper enforcement of the provisions of
the above excellent law. See to it that
the creeks and streams in every neighbor-
hood are thoroughly cleared of all OBJ
structions of RATS or debris of every de-
scription, and don't hesitate to lend
helping hand in cases where the owner
or owners of adjacent lands are unable to
perform the service required, or not like
ly to reap any special benefit therefrom.
On the Eighteen-Mile Creek some very
encouraging experiments have been
made in the removal of distractions to
tie flowing of sand or mud along the
beds of the stream and old bitches. Alta
comparatively slight expense, the bitches
have washed to q sufficient depth in a
single season to produce good crops.
Engineer Lee, of our County, thinks that
a fall of six feet to the mile is amply suf-
ficient to wash off the sand, if the bitches
are kept clear of all distractions. The
law requires that the duty shall be per-
formed in the months of September and
March. Where not attended to last Fall,
see to it that March does not pass by un-
improved. T. H R.
