Projected Measures Against NihiIism

The Russian Ambassadors in Germany
and Austria have suggested to the gov
ernments of these countries that facili-
ties should be granted for the adoption
of measures of %precaution against the
Nihilists. Among these measures would
be that of allowing the surveillance
agents of one State, to a certain extent,
to exercise their functions in the terri
tory of another. Rigid precautions
would be adopted as regards the manu-
facture and transport Of arms, explosive
materials, apparatuses and implements of
a suspicious nature. ANY Russian subject
living in a foreign country, against whom
a competent authority had issued an
order of arrest, would be delivered up to
the Russian Government without further
formality than that of fixing his identity.
As to the organization of the Nihilists,
1t is stated that the persons who threw
the bombs in st. Petersburg acted in
obedience to a common order, and with.
out personal knowledge of each other.
Two lines of Geographic communication
are employed by the Nihilists. the one
from St. Petersburg via Kiev, Bucha-
rest, Constantinople, Rome and Mar
settles to Paris, the other via Cronstadt,
Helsingfors, Stockholm and Copenhagen
to London. These roundabout routes
are found to work much more quickly
and safely than the Central European
lines.

In the Richmond, Va, Christian Ad0o-
cate we see the following notice of a
story which recently appeared in the
WEEKLY News, and which now forms a
popular addition to the "MoRNING News
Library" Under its Literary" head,
that paper says:
"'ReYiresco' is the title of a pleasant
little story. written by Miss Maggie E.
Heath, and published by j. Fl. Estill,
Savannah, Ca, in the MORNING News
Library 1t is on sale by West & John
son, and by Mccarthy, in the city of
Richmond, as also by booksellers gen
orally in the Southern States. We
call attention to it for the reason,
firstly. il is written by a Virginia lady,
who is entitled to Southern patronage,
in her effort to make a name in Southern
Ii erature. She has published a number
of readable stories in literary journals,
and richly deserves encouragement. We
call attention to it, secondly, on the
score of its merits. The story is told in
an agreeable way, and is of a high moral
and religious tone. 1t cannot fail to in
terest the young, and the reading of
REVERSED will have a healthful influence
upon the mind and heart of the reader.

THE MONETARY CONFERENCE The
Continental Correspondence has received
the following communication: 1.-The re-
port that the Cabinet of st. James has
already declined to take any part in the
proposed monetary conference, is at
least premature. No decision has as yet
been arrived at by the English Govern
ment, which is constantly receiving pc
t%itions, some in favor of, some against a
participation of England in the confer
u 1t may be however regarded as
certain that if the present programme
implies that any State sending a delegate
to the conference expresses thereby an
adherence to bimetallsm, the Cabinet
of st. James will take no part in the
proceedings. The result of the present
negotiations as to a change in the pro-
gramme will, therefore. decide the
course to be adopted by England"

Hon. NJ. P. O'COnnOr.

The telegraph yesterday brought us
the news of the death of Mr.. Michael
Patrick O'Connor, member of Congress
from the Second district of South Caro-
lima.
Nh. O'Connor was born in Beaufort on
the goth of September, 1881, and was,
therefore, in the fftieth year of his age.
In 1849 he graduated at Fordham Col.
lege, n. Y, and the following year
began the study of law in Charleston.
In 1854 he was admitted to the bar, and
Immediately entered upon a large and
remunerative practice. HIS power as q
public speaker 0 induced him to
enter a political life, and in 1858 he was
elected to the State Legislature, in which
body he served during four successive
terms.
When the question of secession was
first raised in South Carolina, MIR.
O'Connor was an ardent Union man,
and exerted all his ability to prevent the
State from Withdrawing from the com
pact which existed between the States.
When at length, however, he found
the vast majority of his fellow
citizens IN favor of secession, he acqui-
esced, and thereafter devoted himself,
heart and soul, to the service of the com
monwealth to which his allegiance was
due, but when the war ended disastrously
to the cause in which he had enlisted, he
devoted himself with equal energy and
assiduity to building up her waste places.
Since the conflict he has taken an
active part in politics as a Democrat, and
in 1876 was renominated to Congress and
elected, Notwithstanding that, at the
time, he was leading what was thought
to be a forlorn hope, and in 1878 he was
again successful, as he was also during
the campaign of last fall. In Congress
he has steadily and industriously work
ed for his State and section, and eSpe-
cially for the freedmen, whom he great
ly desired to see reimbursed the sum of
which they had been swindled by the
Freedmen's Savings Bank.
His public career since the war is well
known, and needs no elaborate mention
at our hands. His loss will be severely
felt by his State, and the Charleston
News and C0urier-to which we are
mainly indebted for the above facts
closes a feeling article on his death as
follows:
"Surely NJ. P. O'Connor had not an
enemy, and the friends he had he could
depend on as they could rely on him.
Always affectionate, generous, tender
and considerable, with a bright smile for
every acquaintance, and a firm, strong
grasp of the hand for every friend, his
beaming eye and CHEEKY face will long,
long be missed in Charleston. Honored
he was by this people; loved he was by
those who knew the sweet simplicity of
his gentle, affectionate nature; remem-
bered he will be as one whose whole
career was free from the stains of malice,
envy and revenge, and who leaves to
those whose hearts ache for him to-day
the precious memory of a life adorned
by generosity and charity, and by a
kindliness that never failed"

General Butler Antagonized-What
The South Wants.

Editor Morning Meas: | read in this
morning News two statements credited
to Gen. B. f. Butler, viz:
First. The young men of the South
have had instilled into them from the
time they were old enough to know any
thing, and which is as much a part of
their existence as anything can be, that
the Republican party and everything
attached to it is the destroyer of their
patrimony, the slayer of their parents,
| and the enemy of their country.
Second. The manufacturers of the
| North influence thousands of votes by
the meanest kind of intimidation. With
their thousands of workmen, they do not
say to a man that if he votes for the
Democratic party he will lose his place,
but the facts show that when he has so
voted he has been discharged. The
workmen know this, and they do not
vote"
| believe both of the statements to be
not only untrue but likely to do great
injury, and so l take the liberty of ex-
pressing my positive dissent. / have
spent five months in the S nth and have
observed the political situation, perhaps,
as closely as Gen. Butler, and in that
time have heard of only two such cases
as he gives as being the rule. On the
contrary [ have found a friendly feeling
to be the rule, not the exception. AS to the
second statement, | do not believe Gen.
Butler can name half a dozen cases in
| support of his assertion, and challenge
him to give the name of one respectable
firm in proof of his sweeping accusation.
The people North and South, Republi-
cans and Democrats, arc tired of the
chickering's and animosities resulting
from the war. What the South wants
(more than fighting is capital to develop
her wonderful resources. The North
has it in abundance. and seeks invest
ment, but will it do so if the condition
of things described by General Butler
exists. think not.
My observation leads to the conclusion
that the countrYwants peace and pros.
perity, not sectionalism and misrepre-
sentation; and | firmly believe if the
Union were again meraced, the Confed-
crate soldier would be found fighting as
CALAMITY in its defense as years ago he
fought to eve it. Very respectfully,
NORTHERN REPUBLICAN.

The Georgia Cotton Crop.

The New York Cotton has been shown
a letter to a New York commission
house, from a wealthy Georgian, whose
intimate acquaintance with the planting
interests Of the State extends over a Pc
Rod of forty years, in which he takes a
somewhat gloomy view of the prospect
in the cotton belt. He thinks the condi-
ton of the whole cotton country is far
worse than two years ago, and says: I'm
fact, at no time since the war were plant
ers worse off than now. And why?
Simply because they run on cotton and
neglected corn and meat, and now they
have literally no bread and meat, and to
pay for it from the Vest the cotton
money is insufficient. Planters have run
on credit to the merchants until many a
merchant is broken, and the planters are
fatty refused further credit. Well, it has
reached a point that they must raise their
own provisions or starve. What will
be their course? Well, they must
naturally change their tactics, and
make corn and meat raising their
first consideration, and that means
less planting of cotton. There are
locations where they did raise cotton
enough, but those areas are small. |
consider the big crop of the past year
due to excessive planting, and the earll-
est crop | ever knew. The picking
season was good until November, and
after bad, hence so much poor cotton.
y = There can be no doubt of n
thing, and that is that the planting this
year cannot exceed the last, but is likely
to fall below it. Then we can hardly
have an early crop like last year las it
was unusual. Then we cannot hope for
so favorable a season as last year up to
November. So far we are fully two
weeks behind all usual time. l consider
that the probabilities are that the next
crop will fall below the last one a mil
lion of bales, and yet be an average fair
crop"
We trust that the ideas of the writer
of the above extract are exaggerated and
that it will turn out that he views the
prospect through spectacles of an *
~ceedingly ~cerulean hue. Nevertheless it
cannot be disputed that there is much of
truth in what he writes, and he offers
suggestions which our farmers cannot
afford to disregard.
