Paper Blankets.

Everybody knows that layer Of
newspapers over u bed affords as
much warmth at night as the ordi.
nary counterpart. Various at.
tempts have been made OF late
years to turn this to account, but
owing to the cracking nature OF
the paper and the possibility of
securing free ventilation beneath
paper coverings, the attempt has
been abandoned again and again.
A Manchester (England) firm are,
however, credited with having
overcome these objections, and
have invented paper blanket
which furnishes as perfect ventila.
ton as takes place beneath an Or
binary wooden blanket. The new
covering is made of two sheets of
paper, between which "a layer of
wadding, chemically prepared, IL
inserted in such a way that it can
not gather together in Jumps, while
the edges are strongly whipped, 80
that there ia no possibility of a
separation of the two pieces taking
place. The paper Is manufactured
from the strongest fiber known,
and is softened by special process
until it is free from the objectiona-
BILE cracking and rafting sound of
paper. 1t is true there is slight
crisp feeling when new, but this
soon wears off and the coverlet be-
comes soft and limp. At the same
time the strength 10 much greater,
having regard to the material
from which it IL manufactured. As
far as looks go the new blanket
has all the appearance of woolen
one, while the warmth it affords
exceeds that possessed by its prede-
cessor when the size and weight of
the two are brought into compar.
ison. 1t is, moreover, much
cheaper.
The Rev. Robert Matlock, who
was a wild exhorter of note in Ar
kansas, found that Methodism inn
posed too much restraint upon him
and therefore invented a new sect,
ia which belief in blood atone
mentwas the popularity. He soon
obtained numerous following,
and at the camp meetings which
he held lambs were burned on al
tara. He was a queer speaker, and
had a habit of calling sinners by
name from the pulpit with such
descriptive epithets as "llar,"
"knave" and "thief." Tom Miller
was thus assaulted, and he told the
preacher that the abuse must be
stopped. The two men met at a
fair, discussed the subject awhile,
anC agreed to shake hands; but
when Matlock extended his hand
there was knife In it, and he
stabbed Miller to the heart 'as a
blood atonement.n A jury de.
clared the clergyman irresponsibly
insane, and he was released. That
was a year ago, and the next seen
of him by the public WAS this
week, when his body was found
hanging to a tree. Friends of Tom
Miller had caught and lynched
him. But the new religion, called
New Light, still survives.

A Strange Catastrophe.

CYPRESS, s. c., August 5.-On Thursday
last, the 4th inst, the hands were at work
on the public highway in Stokes Bridge
Township, in this county, in the Vicinity of
Lynch's River. Late in the afternoon many
of them stopped under an oak tree to rest and
shelter themselves from the scorchine beams
of the sun Clouds were visible at q distance
and rain was falling some miles away, but in
that immediate locality the sun was shining
the sky was clear and nothing indicated the
presence of electricity. One of their number
ad stepped off n few yards for water when
suddenly terrific crash startled him and re.
vealed to his astonished and Mortified vision
the appalling sight of his companions, some
dead, some completely paraylzed and others
wounded and struggling in the throes Of
death. In his language, 'the shrieks and
groans and struggling can only be pictured
by those whoNhave witnessed the bloody in
cidents of n battle feld.'
Messrs. j. NJ. Mazingo, Rufus Mazineo.
Willie Waters and John b. Gatlin were killed
outright. These were all young men, recently
married and in the bloom Of manhood Twelve
others were struck and more or less stunned
and mutilated, some of them seriously if not
fatally injured. One of the victims bears IN.
on the side of his body complete picture of
the tree photographed on his skin nv tho
hghtning. Three dogs we're apparently kills

phenomenon, under the circumstances. is
very remarkable, and affords q fruitful theme
for speculation.

PETERsBuRG, VA, August 5.-The mos,
shocking tragedy within the annals of Peters
burg's history was enacted here this evening
about O'Clock The particulars are as fol-.
lows: John W. Greene, n prominent Young
merchant of Petersburg, returned on the
O'Clock train from Richmond, where he had
been in attendance on the Democratic Co, =
vention. He was very drunk when he reach l.
Ell the city, and went TO the City Hotel bar.
where he was introduced to William f. Lee
from Littleton, North Carolina, who had
reached the city on the $50 train from We'll
DON Lee was also drunk, and invited Greene
to take drink with him. Greene refused
at which Lee took offence, and offered Greene
some insult. At length both parties went out
into the street to settle the dispute, and af: er
some words repaired to a neighboring in
closure. Arriving there Lee took off his coat
ana drew knife. Greene walked IN TO
hlm, and Lee struck him several times in the
face, whereupon Greene drew his p stol and
shot Lee in the right breast, the ball sever.
ing the artery which feeds the heart. Leo
then clutched Greene and stabbed him three
times about the face and throat, and in five
minutes both feel and expired. The affair
creates intense excitement here, Lee is
originally from Petersburg, but had been
living for some time in North Caroline. He
has relations here.

by the combination Of white voters, who fa

Inc Georgetown Enquirer and
Revenue Murderers.

Our esteemed contemporary, the George
Town Enquirer, acknowledges that it is NOT
able to answer the question propounded bv
us as TO what it proposed to do with tbe Rc
venue officers who killed Davis and Lodd
AFTER Mellow had been disposed Of The
nruclo IN reply is very cleverly written. and
we regret that we have not space to renro
duce it entire. But we dosire to notice two
points presentedby the Enquirer. In speak.
ing OF the great injustice done by the general
government i'll taking the cases of the mur.
derers Of Davis and Ladd out of the cusodv
OF the State Courts and shielding them from
Just punishment for their crimes, the En-
quirer says:
'but the State has nothing to do with the
uespotlsm which has marked the course Of
'he Fcdral Government in the past"
II Ihls be true, why not abolish our State
"oVernment and turn everything over to the
Fe"cral Government. If the State authorities
can not punish Federal officials for the mur-
der OF her citizens, why demand Of bor tbo
punishment of citizens who murder Federal
ofhcials? If she has not power to punish all
persons who may commit murder on her soil
why require her to punish only sucb os nav
DC designated by the Federal autboritioo9
would 1t not be better to abolish orr stoto
"oIerhment and turn the whole thing over

WAsHINGToN, August 6.-The tenor of the
verdict in the Whitaker case has been the
subject of good deal of speculation. 1t has
oeen generally understood that it was averse
TO Whitaker, but this was not rositiveIv
known until now. The report of the court-
martial arrived at the Office of lhe Judge
advocate general some time ago, but, owing
to Gen; swans attendance upon the patient
at the White House, it was not examined II
is now being revised and will be ready for
submission To the President for his final nc,
tion just as soon rs he is able to give his at
tention to II. The essence of the verdict is
.he u nndlng g OF whitaker guilty of committing
the alleged outrage on himself. This verdiot
is unanimous, and IS coupled with the man :
imous recommendation that he be dismissed

approve this verdict, there is not the slight
est doubt about that, and thus will end tho
most remarkable military trial on record II

Senator Hampton and the Revc-
nue. Laws.

In commenting on the letter Of Senator
Hamptons to Mr.. Raum, (Which was pub
lishca in the SENTINEL last week) the Ander.
son Intelligenccr says:
This reported letter of Scnrlor IInmpton's :
is II somewhat remarkable document. if il ey.
lists, and we suppose the published version is
aboui correct Our Sena or says tha: hc now
has no toleration for inmcrionJ Of the reve.
nue. laws, from which the Inference that he
did once tolerate them is clear The reason
why he cannot now do 50 l., because President
Hayes gave amnesty some years ago on our
Senator's application; and here again our Sen
ator leaves The Inference that if the amnesty
had been granted on the recommendation of
any other person his liberation for the infrac
ton OF the laws mi ght continue to exist
though the crime would be as great AMI hei
nous then as it is under presem; circumstances
Again Senator Hampton volunteers to state
what the governor Of this State will do as
ccriainly y rs if he himself was yet the govern ;
o.. 1t is not n matter of opinion that our
Senator expresses, but it is u matter of fact,
as If by authority. The people elected
Governor Hagood TO discharge the duties
ot The Executive Department of this State.
ana when they did so il was generally suppo.
sed that he could discharge those duties,
though senator Hampton may be authorize ed
to manage the Executive office of this State
as well as represent her in the Senate. II
such Is not the case, The letter of our Senator
eXcgotistic and in bad taste. This, however
is not the objection we have to the letter. 1t
is written in manner to give color to the
IS aggera' cd condemnation that is being heap
ed upon us by the Northern press, and con
tains not one syllable, as far as we can see, to
show the infamous manner in which the
government has attempted to execute the
revenue laws in this State. 1t is in bad taste
for our SENATOR to give aid and credence
to the partisan abuse that is heaped upon
us by the newspapers and politicians of the
north on account of the violation Of the
revenue laws.
The great bulk Of our people condemn
these violations, and they could easily be
suppressed if the revenue officers were not
themselves more lawless and oppressive than
the moonshners. Senator Hampton should
not have written the letter he did to General
kanm without also urging the Improvement
OF the character of the revenue men in this
State.

The Prohibition
DOrtant Call

The State ConN ention which is to meet in
Columbia on Tuesday, Sept. 9th. will need
reliable information as to the real strength Of
the prohibition sentiment in the State. This
will be indicated somewhat by the number of
persons who will leave their business and at.
tend its sessions. But besides, it will be
highly desirable to know the number of peti-
TONERS for prohibitory law.
therefore earnestly request all persons
who are circulating petitions to push the CAM
Vass vigorously during the present month,
and mail the papers to mo by the first of Sep
tember, that l may have time to count the
names according to counties, and report the
result to the Convention. Let us have o. full
representation from every County, as we'll as
from every church and temperance oreaniza-
tion in the Sale.
Humbly praying the divine blessing on our
united efforts to save our people from the
curse of rum, remain ...

Revenue Troubles,

The WinnsborFo News and Herald in an ar
ticle' under the above head, after quoting
from the Sentinel concludes very sensible
article in the following Language:
Read the list Of the extra force selected in
ebediende to Commissioner Raum's order, as
.'men OF good standing and good habits."--
Ihree OF them are charged, on what many
consider conclusive evidence with the murder
OF Amos Ladd. Stolbrand is one of the filthy
crew Of carpetsbag politicians who stole from
the State for eight years. Fine is also rad
ical politician and a notorious blaokleg Ladd
ls an itinterant commissioner Of the United
States Court, and figured largely last fail in
taking the testimony of perured negro witt
nesses to implicate gentlemen in crimes ag
ainst the election laws. These are specimens
of the "men Of good standing and good hnb-
its" chosen by the government, in serious
emergency, TO bring law breakers TO Justice
These are the men who are, by their person
al character, to induce the CO. operation Of the
good people Of the State in enforcing the ex-
else laws Of Congress. These are the ch oson
few. The party that went 10 McDow's house
seem to have belonged but TO the common herd
Who is to say that they acted strictly within
the law, and honestly within the line of their
duty? Who dare say that they had the right
to arrest Mellow and destroy his property
Who knows but that they unawfully invaded
his house, insulted the women and pilfered
his effects? Who can assert that McDow, bad
man as he is represented to be, was not goad-
ed to his act by the outrageous conduct Of the
underlings that went upon his premises?-
These are questions proper to be determined
before we go too much into "gush' over the
killing Of Brayton. Let McDow be caught
fairly tried and, if found guilty, punished
as he deserves. And let the alleged murder
ers of Amos Ladd be also tried before aFclean
jury, and let them abide the result Give
both sides hearing-give both sides chance.
The remedy for all these revenue troubles
lies in the Improvement of the personnel of
tho officials and the sco-opera,ion of The bet
ter class of citizens. Displace the orewA of
political hirelangs, suspected felons and un-
principled carpet baggers that now ssrun'' the
service in South Carolina, and put in linen Of
good standing and good habits,'' and VIC
think there will be soon much better state
of things. lu! as long as the government
countenances outrage, mIrdcr, oppression and
petty theft, under the guise of enforcing" its
regulations,sso long will it be left to take care
| of itself when IL gets into trouble. Well does
The PICKENs SENTINEL suggest; "Turn over
to the State courts Hugh p. Kane and the
other murderers of Amos Ladd in Pickens
county, and Mattison, the murderer of Davis
In Anderson county, for trial in the State
courts. Then Mellow and every other person
| whoSh killed or assaulted revenue officer
| shall be arrested and brought to trial if il
| takes every man in the State 10 do it," In
| the. e.meantime let the newspapers have done
with "gushing' over the recent revenue out
| rage.
