FACTS AND COMMENTS.

The White House cellar has been
converted into curiosity shop, with q
miscellaneous collection of traps sent
on from all parts of the country for the
benefit of President Garfield There
are at least twenty-five beds, including
one which is five and one-half feet long,
and was sent all the way from Mime
sofa for the accommodation of man
over six feet high A Michigan man
sent cage with two white mice to
amuse the Presidents children, and q
lady in the remote west contributed a
stuffed humming bird "to relieve the
monotony of the sick room"
The Chinese government, for some
reason not stated, recently issued de.
cree commanding its subjects to abstain
from shaving the head for period Of
100 days. Detected in the act of dis
obeying this arbitrary regulation, be-
tween fifty and sixty persons in the
city of Foochow alone were on the
eleventh of June sentenced to receive
castigation with bamboo rods and to pay
each fine of 5000 cash 1857. 1t is
stated DY Lne local Journals tnat before
liberation the heads of the offenders
were, as a wholesome warning to others,
carefully painted and vanished.
The flow of Italian emigration to this
country is comparatively small, and one
reason is that South America has proved
a more attractive region for them. The
Argentine republic already contains
100000 Italians, and they constitute
more than one-half of the population of
Buenos Ayres. They lately opened and
carried on successfully an industrial es-
hibition, in which the raw and manu-
featured products of the country and
the machinery and mechanical inven-
tions chiefly used by the Italian resi-
dents were brought together. The re-
suits were astonishing to the native
Spaniards. The Italians seem likely at
no distant day to become the dominant
people of the South American republic
as the English-speaking races are of the
United States.

of rich men. If you go to Syracuse, if YOU
go to Buffalo, if you go to Cleveland, if you

The Extra Session Of the u. S
+ Senate.

AS yet very little has been done by the United
States Senate, nor can any legislation be under
taken. The work Of the body will bo in the
character of an advisory board 10 the President,
confirming or rejecting such nominations as
may be placed before ii, acting ON treaties and
other executive business. It may be the eligi
bllity Of the two Senators from New York will
be referred to the Committee on Privileges and
Elections, but no report or other action is likely
to be taken before the regular session.
Aremarkablo, and some say On unprecedented,
action was taken by the Republicans on the
18th instant. AT the opening Of the session
and before the new Senators from New York
and Rhode Island wero sworn in, Mr.. Daynrd
was elected PRECEDENT pro tenn Of The Senate,
took his seat and proceeded in tho discharge Of
his duties. Tho swearing in Of three new Re-
publican Senators gave that party tho majority,
and on the l4th Senator Logan moved that David
Davis be elected President pro TEN. Mr. Bayard
foreseeing some action of this kind had vacated
tho chair and took his usual seat in the Senate,
having called Senator IIarris to the chair. The
Democrats claim ID the Senate had no power
to take such action and the Republicans, being
unable 10 justify it, made no reply. On the call of
loAt VIC fOlc stOoO OO iOF DuVlS 10 Oh tOr Bay
ard, Malone voting with the Republicans Davis
neither voted nor said anything when his nama
was called. When the name Of Mr.. Bayard was
called he rose and said: "Mr. President, beg to
withhold my vote on the question. have never
obtained office by my vote and shall never
retain 1t by that means" After tho vote AIcssrs
Bayard and Anthony conducted Mr.. Davis to
the chair amid much laughter. lie thanked the
Senate for tho honor and attributed IL TO no merit
of his own, but regarded il as recognition of his
independent position in politics. Tho honor is
an empty one, except only in case of the death
Of the President, in which case he would be-
como President. 1t is said Mr.. Davis was very
anxious 10 get the position Democratic Sc
nators claim the action cannot hurt their party,
that they did their duty In clecting Mr.. Bayard
and If the Republicans determined, on getting
the majority, to elect Mr.. Davis they were not
TO blame for what they could not prevent. If
turn of fortune should again give the Democrats
the majority, will they elect another Democrat?
IT so, we may have half dozen persons in the
chair in the next Ithree years. 1t shows how
for party and not the good of he country con
tro's our national councils and tho danger at
any time Of serious consequences

Lynch Law.

However this old custom Of dealing with
offenders may have originated, wo fud it
exercised occasionally in every county and
IN every State of this country. 1t is the
expression Of public condemnation of crime,
which, from it's aggravated character, will
not permit the indignation of the people to
await the slow and uncertain process of the
law in dealing out punishment to The oflen-
der. In border States, whore crime is com
mon and difficult Of detection and where
the law is moro or less unsettled, it prevails
most, but even in we'll regulated States
we find it meted out in some cases. II IL not
uncommon in the North, and in our State q
number of cases Of lynching have occurred
since the war.
1t is however rare thing for q person to
be lynchcd after ho has stood his trial and
his life been spared and when such q case
occurs it shows the public mnd to be fixed
upon tho death penalty for certain offences,
and that in the interest Of self presorvat ton
it will not submit even to verdict of a
jury.
at the late term Of tho court for Orange
burg county Jack Williams, negro, was
convicted of m outrageous assault on Lin.
nio Hughes, white girl, eleven years old
and the jury rendering the verdict accom- :.
panied it with recommendation to mercy.
This, under tho statute, placed it beyond tho
power of the judge to impose tho death
penalty, and ho was sen ntenccd to mprson
ment for life. The proof of guilt was said
to have been overwhelming and the verdict
not only created dissatisfaction, but general
feeling of uneasiness on the part of the
community. This naturally increased and
on tho morning of the 18th instant, about 2
O'Clock A. NJ, q crowd OF $50 persons, all
masked, pushed their way into tho jsil, on
the door being opened to admit prisoner,
overpowered the Sheriff. and taking out
Jack Williams carried him about quarter
Of milo and hung him to an oak tree. Oo
his body and fastened ac.oss his breast was
found printed in large letters on piece OF
white homespun the following: Our wivcs,
mothers, sisters and daughters shall be
protected. the decision of an OraDgebure
jury to the contrary Notwithstanding" In
oases of this character mercy is misplaced
and such verdicts, instead Of supprcssinp
crime, tend to encourage citizens TO tako the
law into their own hunds and seek security
outside the law. tis human nature to forgive
murder sooner than such crimes, for tho one
takes life only, while tho other makes lift
living, lingering death to the woman. Nc
ono will sny the fate Of Jack Williams il
moro than just retribution for his crime
but oil will regret that his punishment va
not inflicted under and by the law.
The Charleston Ne,cs anil Courier state

verdict, have handed papcr to Judg

which they state "that in rendering thei

According to a writer in Nature, the small
migratory birds that are unable to perform
the flight of $50 miles across the Mcd,tcrra-

cranes. In the autumn many tlocks of cranes
may be seen coming from the North, with
the first cold blast from that quarter, flying
low, and uttcring peculiar cry. rs If Of
alarm, rs they crclo over the cultivated
plains. Little birds Of every species may
be ccen flying up to them. while tho twit.

settled upon their backs mag bo distinctly
