TIE .. S. SENATE ADJOURNED.

The United States Senate, convened
by the President in.extra session on the
iourth day of March last, adjourned last
Friday, after a session of ten weeks,
during which no public business was
transacted, except what might have been
done in two weeks. The time was spent
by the futile efforts of the Republicans
to reward the treachery of Malone, for
which the session was not called, instead
of attending to the executive business
for which it had been summoned in extra
session. The true cause Of the delay in
acting upon executive business was the
discord in the Republican party, which
they desired time to reconcile before pro-.
ceeding to consider executive nomina-
tions, and it was not until the breach in
the party widened, and all hopes of re-
.conciliation were abandoned, that the
Republicans consented to proceed to the
business for which the Senate was called
in extra session. The result of this ex-
ira session has been the uni6cation of
the Democratic party, split in the Re.
publican party, the defeat of Conkling,
the burial of Malone and his hopes, and
the triumph of constitutional princi.
pies.

years we will see hundreds of trees dying
without any discernible cause. This

of "grubdom" for any other insect being
six years-for the stag-beetle.

rae ANDERSON posroFr1oE.

The appointment of Mrs. Grace G.
Cochran to be postmistress atAnderson,
though not Objectionable in itself to our
people, is utterly at variance with all of
the Presidents utterances and profess
isions, in that it displaces an efficient
and universally acceptable officer, with
out any cause whatever for doing 80,
other than mere partisan administra-
tion of the Presidency. Mr.. Fant has
been the acting postmaster for more
than ten years, and during that time has
never in any manner meddled with poll
tics, or rendered himself obnoxious to
any person; 80 much so, that recently
his friends asked his appointment to the
Office in petition that was signed by all
of the business men of the town, and
great many other citizens who took the
idea that tie Office vas one of consider
able business importance, and that it
should be administered in a business
like manner, without holding it up as a
prize for partisan politics. According to
every principle of civil service reform,
Mr.. Fant should not have been dis.
turbed in the Office; and by just such
acts as this the President proves his pro-
fessions of desire to reform the civil
service of the country to be the merest
canting of q hypocrite.
AS it happens, Mrs. Cochran will, we
think, make an efficient officer, and will
be more acceptable to our people than
any other Republican; but so far as the
Presto ent is concerned, the appointment
is an experiment which his professions
do not warrant him in trying, especially
in the fnce of the expressed wishes of
our people. The appointment was con-
firmed by the U. S. Senate before its ad-
iournment, and re understand that Mrs.
Cochran will assume charge of the Office
some time next month.

"From first to last he has been

He had understood that the fathers of

government by making constitution,

try had been thrown into civil war that
lasted four years, and ruined half the
nation, nobody having understood what
the constitution meant. "The lives of

THE sEvEsrEEN.YEAR LocUsTs.

In recent talk with "H. W. g." the
sensational correspondent of the Atlanta
Coastautioa, Mr.. Schelpert, gentle
man who seems to know what he is talk

creating so much talk throughout the
south we're the real seventeen-year To-

wings and the red color of the eyes.
He remembered distinctly the last
visit of these locusts, which he says
occurred fourteen years ago. He says
that there is no danger to growing crops
from these insects, but they destroy
thousands of fruit and forest trees.
Their habits are curious. The female

and cuts small cavity beneath the bark.

Terrible Triple Tragedy.
TERRE HAUTE. Ind, Ma

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, May %.
Vigo county has been the scene of
many horrible murders within the past
half century, but never has the commu-
nifty been more startled by more ghastly
murder and suicide than this morning.
The Blocksoms aud McPheeters are tive
old wealthy families who own large and
fertile farms about six miles south of
this city and have lived here for the past
forty years. About two years ago young
Alexander McPheeters married Miss
Alice Blocksom, the wedding being q
brilliant affair, and attended by hundreds
of the friends of both of the happy young
people. They lived together happily for
year, when an arrangement grew up,
and what was supposed by everybody to
be a most fortunate match proved or re-
suited in separation last February. The
young wife returned to her home on an
adjoining farm and refused to return to
her husband, although frequently en-
treated to do so. This unhappy state of
affairs eliminated at eight O'clock this
morning by McPheeters going to the
home of his wife and shooting her and
her younger sister, and then placing the
muzzle of the revolver to his own head
and scattering his brains about the room.
All three were killed instantly, and lay
close together in the home of the young
wife. That the murder was deliberate
and we'll planned is proved by the fact
that McPheeters came up to the city yes
terday and purchased the revolver and
loaded it, taking particular pains to sec
that all Of the cartridges were sound. No
cause can be assigned for the horrible
deed, other than that his wifehad refused
to live with him, and her younger sister
bad upheld her in this resolution. Mr..
McPheeters had a young babe, which it
is thought had been marked for the muir
derer's bullet, but was not in its mothers
arms at time, and thus escaped the fate
of the mother.

A New Railroad from Columbia TO
GreenYille.

The Greenvile Daily .Eeacs Of Sunday
last contains the following bit of railroad
news:
Capt. Kirk, chief engineer of the st.
lantic and French Broad Railway, passed
through the city yesterday en- route to
Columbia. The following information
given by him to reporter for the Daily
Ne,cs will be read with interest. 1t is,
says Capt. Kirk, in serious contemplation
by influential parties in the State, who
have already held meeting in Colum-
bia with reference thereto, to build q
road from Columbia to Greenvile via
Newberry and Laurens, to be extended
from Greenville to tap the Atlantic and
Broad Railway at some point near the
mountains. Crossing the mountains it
will pass through Haywood county, North
Carolina, and pass on through Tennessee
to the French Broad river about so miles
from Knoxville. Thence it will branch
off, one line extending to Nashville, via
Knoxville, the other proceeding in the
direction of Cincinnati via Morristown and

the richest coal and iron region in the
United States, as yet onl = very partially
developed. With regard to this great
enterprise Capt. Kirk expresses the
opinion that the parties concerned i'll it
are men of means and influence and that
there is good reason to believe that de-
cided steps will be taken shortly to carry
out the programme as here briefly
sketched. GrcenvilLe, Capt. Kirk is con-
fdent, can be in direct railroad communi-
cation with Augusta in less than eighteen
months-probably in twelve-the dis
tance, via Belton, being l13 miles. Work
is being pushed on rapidly on the ATTAIN
tic and French Broad railway and the
prospects of this enterprise are very en-
couraging.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

An important decision in reference to
the liability of public officers on their
official bonds, has lately been rendered
by the Supreme Court in the case of
York county rs. John L. Watson. Mr.
Watson was Treasurer of York county,
and as such had collected large Sims of
money, which he deposited in the Citi-
zens' Savings Bank. This bank failed
and the money was lost. The simple
question presented and decided was, Is
WATSON and his sureties liable for the
loss sustained By the failure of the bank 2
The Circuit Court held that Watson was
not liable for the loss incurred by reason
of his deposit in the bank, and decreed
in his favor. The Supreme Court at
firmed the decree and dismissed the ap-

inside History of the Chicago Convention.
WASHINGTON, Nav Is

WASHINGTON, May 10.
This seems to be good time for the
divulging OF confidence and the exposure
of inside schemes and machipatious of
Republican leaders prior and subsequent
to the Chicago nominations. For several
weeks before the meeting of the Chicago
Convention it was quite we'll understood
in certain circles that Gen. Garfield,
whose name at that time had not been
publicly mentioned in such connection,
had very strong hopes that in certain
contingencies no one would stand a bet.
ter chance than himself for receiving the
Presidential nomination. It appears
now, from statements made by persons
protesting to know, that early in May
leading and wealthy Protectionists of
Pennsylvania, iron men, &C., met in
Philadelphia to discuss the Republican
Presidential candidates as to who was the
best man for their interests. After free
consultation they concluded that none of
the prominent candidates would suit
their views, not even Secretary Sherman,
although he came much nearer to it than
either Grant or Blaine, and they finally
fixed on Senator Edmunds and Gen.
Garfield as the men to I'll the bill, with
the prcponderance in favor of the latter.
Gen. Garfield was Immediately commu-
nicated with, aud cheerfully responded
that he would be glad to be candidate.
Matters were then put in trim with this
end in view. Shortly after this Secretary
Sherman went over to Philadelphia on
business and political mission, aud was
Informed of the move in Gar6eld's inter-
est. To use the language of one Of the
parties concerned, it almost "took his
breath away" Eo came back to Wash
ington, thought over the matter, aud then,
without giving the least intimation of
what he had learned, sent for Garfield
and asked him to be the leader of the
Ohio delegation at Chicago. Garfield
could do no less than consent, and Sher-
man deluded himself with the idea that
he had killed him out. But Garfield
communicated with his Pennsylvania
friends, and they told him TO go
ahead, but watch out for his own oppor-
tunity, and, according to the story. Judge
Robertson and Wayne Macveagh were
both taken into the scheme. This, if
true, would account in some degree for
the Presidents holding 30 firmly to Rob.
ertson. But it is said that the gentleman
who worked up the whole scheme, a
Philadelphia, was one of the hundred
or so alleged to have been promised Ca
binet places by Gen. Garfield, and that
he had good reason to expect the treasu-
ry department. When he found he was
not to get that he declined the postoffice
department and the navy department,
which, it is said, were successively ten

Mr.. R. J. Davis, of Columbia, was
killed on the Columbia and Greenville
Railroad last Friday night. He was act
ing as brakeman on the up freight train,
and, at 9 o'clock, after leaving Piedmont
station, twelve miles below Greenville,
he was mounting with lantern to his
post on the roof Of the freight car by tho
iron ladder at the side of the car, when
the projection of water tank which the
train was passing rapidly struck him in
the side and hurled him to the ground.
The force of the blow was such that he
died in fifteen minutes. Mr.. Davis was
an estimable young man, aud highly
thought of. His remains were carried to
Columbia Saturday evening for inter-
ment, and were met at the depot by the
Columbia Flying Artillery, Of which or
ganization he was member.

"Within the last few days a deed of con-

and South Carolina through which these

Whether or not this transfer has any
significance ne are unable to say. 1t
probably means nothing 30 far as the
Knoxville and Augusta Road is concern
ed. We surmise that these South Caro-.
lima trustees have no valid claims upon
it. AS the Knoxville and Charleston,
the State of Tennessee had the first claim
upon it. This mortgage was foreclosed,
and the State afterward sold the road to
other parties. 1t has since been regular
ly transferred to the Knoxville and
Augusta Railroad Company. 1t is gen.
orally understood, however, that this COM
pany is MIR. Sibley, one of the largest
owners of the Atlanta and Charlotte
Air Line. 1t does not appear that Mr..
Sibley or the Knoxville and Augusta
Company have had anything to do with
the transfer of these roads to the Green
vile aud Columbia Company. What
the intention of the Knoxville and Au.
gusta Company is, we do not know. 1t
is certain that this company has not yet
sold out, at least has not made the trans
fer. Mr.. Sibley is expected in Knox
vile in few days when further develop
ments may be expected.
