LETTER FROM WAYNESBORO.
A singular and Tragic Occurrence
Disastrous Effects OF the Bad
Weather-GIoomy Prospects for
Merchants and Planters.

WAYNEsBoRo, January l4-Quite a serious
accident occurred near this place on the after
noon of he 18th instant DR.. K P. McNorrilI
and Mr.. Nixon. while returning from town to
their homes on horseback about dark, ran
into each other at full speed In the collision
DR. McNorriu's neck was broken and his horse
severely injured. Mr.. Nixon was quite seri-
ously injured and his horse killed
1t appears that this singular and tragic
affair occurred in this manner: About
three miles on their way home Mr.. Nixon
stopped TO talk to Mr.. Mathis, living about
that distance from town DR.. McNorrill, keep
ing on his way, and finding that Nixon fingered
behind rather longer than he expected, the
doctor turned his horse in full run to see
what detained his companion, who had abont
the same time, started to overtake the doctor,
riding also at full speed. Mr. Nixon says that
when they approached near each other
he attempted TO guide his horse TO the right
and SuppoSeS the doctor gave his horse the
same direction. that the collision was so
sudden and severe that he was hurled sense
less to the ground by coming in contact with
the doctors head, striking him in the stomach.
When he came TO he found the doctors horse
lying on him, with a broken shoulder and
bleeding at the mouth and nose. The doctors
neck was broken and his face and head badly
bruised. His own horse was found q short
distance of. A negro man coming up he was
asked to bring the horse TO him, and just as he
led him mp the animal fell dead. DR.. AcNorril
belonged to good family and leaves a wife
and six young children. He made good
soldier, having served through the entire war
in the Fifth Georgia Cavalry.
What is the matter with the elements! Can't
the weather man tell us il we are to have any
more sunshiny days. Our roads have been,
and are still almost impossible. Cotton pick
ing is at a standstill, although there is a good
deal of it in the fields, and we had
such an suspicious fall. Our merchants and
planters were in high spirits until the. rains
crippled the trade that some of our mer-
chants have been obliged to suspend, and
many Of the planters are unable to pay out.

The Next Senate.

OF the new Senators whose terms will
begin on the 4th of next March twelve
have either been elected or have been
given nominations that are equivalent to
election. These twelve are Messrs.
Miller, of California; Hawley, of Con-
necticut; Bayard, of Delaware; Jones, Of
Florida; Conger, of Michigan; George,
Of Mississippi; Cockrell, Of Missouri;
Fair, of Nevada; Sherman, of Ohio;
Burnside, of Rhode Island; Edmunds, of
Vermont, and Malone, of Virginia. OF
these Messrs. Bayard, Jones. Cockrell,
Burnside and Edmunds will be their
own successors, while the other seven
will be new Senators -Four of these
incoming Senators are Republicans who
will take the places of Democrats, two
are Democrats, who viii take the places
Of Republicans, and one (Mahone) is an
Independent OF the twelve States that
have not yet positively declared their
choice, it is pretty safe to predict that
Harrison will be the Senator from In
diana, Hale from Maine, and Dawes
from MGssachusetts-two new and one
to succeed himself. All three are Re-
publicans, and one (from Indisna) will
succeed q Democrat. The result in
Minnesota, Nebraska, New Jersey, New
York, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas.
West Virginia and Wisconsin is yet in
doubt. OF the last named States six will
certainly elect Republicans, two Demo
Gratis, and one TENNESSEE is uncertain.

THE KELLOGG CAsE-It is said to be
the intention of Senator salisbury,
Chairman of the Committee on Elec.
tions, to call up the Kellogg case as soon
as the Holiday bill is out of the way,
and urge It to a vote. According to the
Star, the Democratic members of the
committee say they have not been ad-
vised of any change of opinion among
Senators in regard to this case,
but they do not believe the Democratic
maj6EitY viii permit Mr.. Kellogg TO
retain his seat. The Democrats on the
Elections Committee insist that Demo
cratic ascendency in the next Senate de-
ponds upon ousting Mr.. Kellogg. and
they are not prepared, so they say, to be
ieTe that Democrats viii vote to deprive
their party OF the last hold it has upon
power in the government by voting to
sustain Mr. Kellogg. At any rate the
committee are determined to have the
question settled at the earliest moment
practicable.

pronnsed nirisinn of Texas.

The subject Of dividing Texas into
four separate States is being discussed
quite extensively by the press of that
State, and the impression seems to be
gaining ground that the measure wiz be
speedily consummated. The plan can
be effected by the State Legislature
alone, the United States having nothing
whatever to do with it, for when Texas
was annexed it was expressly stipulated
that its territory might be divided into
four States wheneverthe Legislature saw
fit to do so. provided that each new State
should be OF convenient size, and should
contain sufficient population 1t was
specially stipulated that when all these
conditions were fulfilled such new States
shall be entitled to admission under the
Federal Constitution
The Austin Retiep is of the opinion
that the proposed division viii be effected
at the next session of the State Legisls
ture, and gives as the grounds for its
belief that the census shows Texas to be
possessed Of sufficient population and
territory to justify the division. and the
Democracy desires the creation of the
new States for two reasons: First, be
cause the Democratic party is largely in
power. and the leading Democratic
politicians of the State are anxious to
get leading offices which they cannot
get by any other means. Second, Demo
cratic politicians, at home and abroad,
desire to obtain control of the United
States Senate for the next four years,
and this they can do through the votes
of the six additional United States Sens-
tors which would, by the proposed sub
division, be secured.
As already stated, the United States
Government can have nothing whatever
to do with this scheme. The matter lies
entirely in the control of the Legislature.
and that is entirely in control Of the
Democratic party. All that is necessary
to be done is for the Texas Legislature
to lay OF the three proposed additional
States. each being shown to be possessed
Of sufficient population to be entitled to
at least one Representative in Congress.
This can be done simply by joint resolu-
ton, vote of the people not being re-
quired in the first instance.
OF course the next Congress will be
opposed to the creation of these new
States, as it would lose the Radicals con-
troll Of the Senate at once and perhaps
for all time The Republican majority
will be poweTless to defeat the measure,
however, should the people of Texas see
fit to approve it, and if they do. the
South will not only secure six more
Senators in the National Legislature,
but her electoral vote will also be in
creased to that extent 1t will be seen,
therefore, that the proposed plan is one
in which the entire South is largely in
terested

It was only question Of time, says
the Washington Star, when the several
telegraph companies in the country
would be consolidated, and that time
has come. The people Of the United
States are now at the mercy Of a single
corporation, so far as their telegraph
service is concerned, and will have to
sweat accordingly. The capital stock Of
the new organization is placed $50, O00.-
900. OF this amount possibly $12, 0O0,-
900 represents money actually invested
in the business for real estate, lines and
other property necessary to carry on the
business; the balance represents water
ed stock, in the shape of stock divl-
dends, etc. If the country only had to
pay rates sufficient to yield good profit
on the actual stock, telegraph tolls might
be as low here as in any place in
Europe, but when healthy dividends
have to be earned on six times that
amount there is little hope for cheap
telegraphy. o. the other hand, about
this time an increase of rates may be
expected.

Washington Gossip About the Gar
field Administration.


The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore sun says:
can intimate friend of General Gar
field and of Senator Blaine says it is
quite certain, as has been assumed, that
Mr.. Blaine is 10 be the first member of
the new Cabinet; and further, that Mr..
Blaine will, to great extent, endeavor
to run the administration. He says that
after mature elaboration General Gar
field has come to the conclusion to train
more with the men who made his nomi-
nation at Chicago than with the Grant
element, although he does not intend to
antagoniZe that element, and is DESTROYS
to do what he can to conciliste without
a sacrifice of his independence. 1t is
understood that the Grant ele-
ment has indicated that in their
opinion two Cabinet POSITIONS
should be placed at their disposal, and
have mentioned the two departments
which control the great bulk of the
enormous patronage Of the Federal
Government, the Treasury and the Post
Office. The Grant people. it is said, are
very anxious to have Mr.. Routt, OF
Colorado, for Postmaster General, who,
it is said, gave $50. 009 to the Republican
campaign fund. But General Garfield
has concluded, his friend says, not to
appoint Mr.. Routt, or to put in his Cabi-
net any other pronounced outand-Out
Grant and Conkling man. New York,
he says, will have one Cabinet position,
most probably that of Secretary of the
Interior. and he believes Vice President
Wheeler can have this position if he viii
take it Mr.. Wheeler has not mixed
himself up with the squabbles of the
two wings of the Republican party in
New York, but has kept on friendly
terms with both, and would, therefore,
it is thought. be acceptable to both.
