DYING WORDS OF GREAT MEN.

DYING WORDS OF GREAT MEN.
All great men have dying words. 1t
wouldn't be worth their while to die if
they couldn't hand down some last
words for future generations to quote.
Otherwise, they had better live, and
save the funeral expenses. Dying words
should not be left to the last moment.
They should be prepared in time, like
impromptu speeches for other occasions,
so that they may appear a little more
polished than they would if they were
hewed out on short notice, while the
undertaken was standing behind the
door with a tape measure under his
coat-tail, wondering whether it would
be mohogany or rosewood. This being
the case, and since the minds Of great
men are much occupied with other
matters, we have written out few
dying words for some of our leading
minds, who may be called on to die at
some time when they have no dying
words about them:
Bob Ingersol Don't forget my fan
and linen duster.''

Tie Southern Question.

Mr.. Raum, the commissioner Of inter
nal revenue, says II very great change
has come over the South in the matter
of the enforcement Of the internal reve-
nue. laws. The organized opposition
which seemed TO exist ut one time on the
part OF the officers of the several States to
'hwar. i; every way possible tho efforts
OF the Federal officials has ceased and
they now give cordial support to tho
agents of the General Government Re.
spectacle citizens. he says, who in times
past sympathiZed with and shielded
the lawbreakers are now among
the foremost in exposing their ille-
gal acts and bringing them to punish
meat. The angry, snllcl spirit which
existed at the close of the war and dur
ing the bitter era of reconstruction found
expression in active or passive opposition
OF this character. Its Disappearance means
that genuine, lasting peace has come
at length, and that SO far us public senti-
ment is concerned the National laws are
ns much respected in the South as in the
East or West. President Arthur was
wise when he dropped the Southern bu-
siness from the annual message. The
Southern question has become one of the
memories and traditions OF our politics.

THE sAvAssAH VALLEY RAILROAD.

From The articles published elsewhere,
it will be seen that the city of Augusta is
very anxious to obtain control OF the Sa-
vannah Valley Railroad as feeder to
the business Of that enterprising city, and
we have no doubt arrangements can be
made TO complete this road to Dorn's
Mine as branch Of the Knoxville and
Augusta Railroad at q very early day.
We do not, however, think this course
either wise or desirable, for we have the
best Of reasons TO think that Lioic adGan-
tageous arrangements c2n be made TO
build the road to Aiken, thus reaching
the sea coast in our own State and build
ing up the resources Of our prin-
cipal city. BY doing this, the peo-
pie Of this section will reach the best
market Oh the South Atlantic Coast. and
help to build up our own State commerce
instead of dissipating it. If we are not
greatly mistaken, the road from this place
will be completed in time 10 move the
next cotton crop to Charleston. We
should, therefore, not deiiVcr cohlroi o'
our interest to our friends in Augusta
until the scheme to reach Charleston has
failed OF course, if we cannot get TO
Charleston, we must go to Augusta, but
Charleston is our firs. preference and
should be given the amplest opportuni-
ty.
1t is. however, very certain that we
will have the Savannah Valley Railroad
before many more years. If it does not
run TO Aiken and Charleston, it will 60
to Dorn's Mine and Augusta. 1t re.
mains to be seen whether the South Car
olina or the Augusta and Knoxville Rail
road mas the greater enterprise in secur.
ing this important business connection.

son, white man, formerly of Fayettes-
vile, y. c., but for the past four years
n resident Of this county, on Saturday
night last while seated at supper, sur
rounded by his wife and seven children,
from the outside and instantly killed,
five buckshot lodging in his head. The
deceased had recently figured before
United States Commissioner Ladd as a
defendant in ono case and Government
witness in other cases for violations Of
revenue laws, and had been bound over
for his appearance at the United States
Court in Charleston. He expressed some
fear as to his safety to Commissioners
Ladd only last week, having as he stated,
heard threats made that he would not be
alive to attend court. 1t IS not known
who the perpetrators of this awful decd
are, nor has the verdict of the coroner's
inquest yet reached here.

GUITEAU.
Z. b. NJ.

The trial of Guiteau, which has now
occupied some six weeks of the Court.
progresses slowly, with the probability of
occupying two or three more weeks.
The killing cf the President by the pris-
oner is admitted, and the only defence
thus far relied upon is insanity. a great
deal Of testimony mas been ndduced on
this point, and the evidence is very con-
flicting; the witnesses on the part of the
prosecution being positive I'll at lie is not
insane. and those on the part Of the de-
fence equally positive that he is insane.
This is noticeably true of the expert wit.
ncsses. Where the learned doctors on
insanity disagree so materially, it will be
difficult for the jury to decide between
them, and it is now more than likely
that after all the time that will be con-
sumed in the trial and the thousands of
dollars spent there will be mistrial.
Guiteau's demeanor in the court room is
most remarkable ii he is not insane. He
has treated with the greatest dsrespect
all connected with the trial except the
Judge and jury. He has daily abused
without stint the witnesses on both sides
and the attorneys, even his own brother
in-!aw, Mr.. Scoville. He claims to be
his own counsel, and speaks when and
what he pleases. This frequently pro-
duces great merriment in the court room,
and almost converts the trial into farce.
Judge Cox in the beginning of the trial
to remove the prisoner from
The room during the trial, and at nother
Time to gag him, but Gui,eau, unavcd
by threats, continued his abuse Of wit
nesses and attorneys. Ho seems to be
uncomfortable by any means in the
power of the Court, as it is more than
questionable that a man can be tried for
MS life in his absence or If present while
gagged.

they should have been long ego. No

vate secretary. Very few persons ara
allowed 10 ascend .he stairs and take
their places in the waiting rooms, where

hundred persons were often to Go seen at

around with the crowd. The attendants

Riddleberger was the Republicans, or
