THE VICE.PKESIDENCY.

The rumor that Vice,P President elect
General @. A. Arthur is not native of
The Urited States, and that he is, there
fore, constitutionally ineligible for the
Office TO which hewas elected, gains force
and probability to such an extent that
the Senate has determined to investigate
the facts of the case with a view to ascer-
tain the truth and, if General Arthur be
not q native Of this country, to prevent
his Inauguration on the 4th Of next
March. He claims to have been born in
acountry town Of Vermont, eut the most
careful inquiry there fails to. develop the
correctness of the claim. His parents
we're married in the United States, but
about the time of his birth resided in
Canada. They afterwards returned to
the United. States. It is claimed by
those who oppose the inauguration Of
General Arthur that he was born during
the residence Of his parents in Canada,
which would make him ineligible for
either the Presidency or Vice Presidency
of the United States. This would make
the President pro tem. Of the Senate on
the 4th OF March next Vice-President,
which would give the Office to the De-
mosracy in the person of Hon. Allen @.
Thurman, of Ohio. It would be little
singular to see the President and Vice.
President both from the same State.
People would begin to think in truth
thatit is lucky to be citizen of Ohio.

Witchcraft and Murder.

SUMTER, Feb. 1l.-At late hour last
night Henry Johnson and Orange Isaacs
were lodged in Jail here, charged with the
murder of John Davis, all colored.
Henry johnson relates the following
story: 80
He says that he was staying at the
house of John Davis, and suspected that
he was trying to poison him, and that he
went to Orange Isaacs, who is claimed to
be a root doctor, and told him Of it.
Orange said that be also had grudge
against Davis, and that he had the power.
Of witchcraft and could administer Ger.
tain medicine that would free him of all
responsibility for his acts, and proposed
TO johnson to give him a charm and take
one himself and kill Davis. johnson
agreed to take the charm and obey all
instruction. Orange then told him to
obtaio gun and bring it to him.. which
he did. Orange then sent him to the
road with orders to knock on the fence
when Davis passed. At IL o'clock m.
last Saturday johnson gave the signal
and Orange came to the road with his
gun. They followed him to pine thicket,
and Orange. having approached to within
ten yards of Davis, fired and shot him
in the back of the head, killing him in
stantly. Orange then pulled him out of
the road and covered him up with pine
straw, and went about his business.
Suspicion having attached to Johnson,
he was arrested, and, upon his confession,
Orange was also arrested. Orange dis.
claims being implicated in the murder
in any mauner.-Ne,cs and Courier.

ion, and would rest in peace on through
the ages, but for the political hyenas who
dig into those graves and MUNICH the bones
and growl over the dead forms of the

The South, Mr.. President, is deeply
interested in whatever concerns the peo.
Pile of the whole country deeply, inter-
ested in the development Of the resources
of the country, and in maintaining the
honor and credit and dignity of the gov
ernment.
I believe the forthcoming report of the
superintendent of the census will contain
the most valuable and complete reposi
tory of information that has ever been
collected in this country, and will illus
trate a proficiency and advancement in
statistical science by the distinguished
and accomplished head of the bureau.
that will place him abreast of the leading
scientists of the world.
His work will SLOW some curious facts
II might almost say caprices-in the
movements Of populations and the drift
of political power. The centre of popu
lation has moved westwardly from New
York since 1900, along the thirty
parallel of latitude, DETECTING north or
south as the population would drift north
or south, and in 1870 it lodged about
forty. two miles northeast of Cincinnati,
Ohio. The Census of 1880 will draw the
centre south of Cincinnati and south of
the Ohio River. Such at least are the
indications at the present stage of infor-
nation.

STANLEY MATTHEWS IN DISTRESS.
The Hon. Stanley Matthews appears to

The Hon. Stanley Matthews appears to
have very little chance to become an AS
sociate Justice of the Supreme Court,
although Mr.. Hayes has nominated him
for the position. The nomination has
hung FIRE in the Judiciary Committee OF
the Senate, and the opposition has be-
come so strong that the Committee will
probably not report it to the Senate be-
fore the 4th Of March, at which time it
will fail. If the Committee does report
the nomination it is generally believed
the Senate will reject it, and thereby save
the country from an unfit judicial officer.
,A number of Democrats oppose the con-
frmation Of Mr.. Matthews for political
reasons and because of his unftness.
dr. Conkling opposes him for the pur-
pose Of giving a last lick at President
Hayes, and the friends Of General Gar
iield oppose him because they think the
new President should be allowed to make
the selection. Between all of these
sources Of opposition we think Mr.. Mat.
thews wiu not become an Associate JUS
tice of, the Supreme Court.
