CllveriuS and His Brother.

With the fortitude, oallousness, OF
whatever is the right name for it, thai
has characterized Cluverius since biz
arrest-and which has taken from
him sympathy that he wonld have
otherwise got-he night before last
stood up in court and heard without
change Of countenancs the verdict
IT the jury. His poor brother, fear.
ful Of what was coming, and doubt.
ing if he could stand unmoved in
that dread event, absented himself
from the court room, and sat in a
carriage outside for two hours. He
wept when he heard of the verdict as
he had often wept before. He went
from the court room to the Jail with
the prisoner, but was seemingly more
needlul Of comfort than was bis con.
victed brother. Cluverius has for
some time back been confined in a
strong iron.lined cell in the Jail, and
to it he was carried night before last.
His rest Was not profound. He was
somewhat wakeful, but it is believed
that after all he got a fair amount Of
sleep. When the prisoners were all
let out of their cells yesterday morn.
ing the other fellows were all anxious
to hear the result Of the trial, and
several of them having gathered about
him one asked, "Well, how did you
come out last night?" He said, "They
found me guilty of murder in tie
first degree" There was no show of
emotion.-RichmondD Dispatch, of6th.

Newberry and Augusta.
From the Mew6erru Observer.

FROM the Net06erTy Observer.
Mr.. B. F. Sample of the Saluds
section of Edge6eld County, was in
Newberry on Monday and Tuesday
sounding the sentiment of the people
on a narrow gauge railroad from New,
berry to Augusta, by way of Edge.
field G. H., for which a charter was
obtained at the last session Of the
General Assembly. Mr.. Sample re-.
presents the people of his section, and
of Edgefsld County at large, as very
much in favor of the road. On his
way over to Newberry be stopped at
Gen. Hsgood's and had a talk with
him on the subject. Gen. Hagood ia
vors the project and has been looking
forward to it for some time, only wait.
ing to see how the Cumberland Gap
subscriptions would pan out. Recent
elections had assured him of its sue.
oese, srd he is now looking in this d.
rection. Gen. Hagood says he wants
only 100000 from Edge6eld County
for the Newberry and Augusta mar.
row gauge. Aa the line in Newberry
would be about one.fourth as long as
in Edse6eld, We presume $25.000
from this side would be sufficient; and
there surely would be no difficulty in
raising that. Let us have the New.
berry and Augusta, by all means.

The Black Race, He Says, Will Die
Out Because II is q Scrub Race.

The Atlanta Evening Jonrnal pub
fishes an interview with ex-senator
Robert Toombs on the future Of the
negro. They are his views as they
would have been given in the NORTH
american Reuiev had not bad health
prevented the preparation Of an arti.
Gle for that periodical.
He says that Lis speech on slavery y
in fremont Temple, Boston, is as true
to day as it was then and will be for
| all time. The negro race is an infe.
rlor race. He was 30 created, and if
God had not intended to make him
inferior to the white man He would
never have created him black. All
history shows him to be incapable of
governing himself. He cannot, there.
fore, govern countries or anything
else. The position Of the Rev. DR..
Haygood that the two races must rise
or fall together, he says, is very fool.
ish. The negro race is dependent on
the white for everything. He does
not think they can be educated. 1t
will be found in the end that as
race they are uneducationable. lie
says education is increasing crime
among them. A negro is out of his
element at the blackboard. His natu.
raj home is the cotton patch and the
plow. There he has always done best;
there he will always do best.
As to the future of the negro race
in the South be said: 1t is the plain.
est thing in the world, he will die out.
He is dying out now. think ought
to understand the census. I have
studied it enough. I tell you that it
is being falsely interp. eted by certain
people in this country. The negro is
dying out as race; he is bound to
die out. That is what will become |
of him. 1t is the history of all infe-
rlor races, and here ia the broad dis.
tinction. The negro race is a scrub
race; the white race is thorough.
bred race. In time the scrubs are
bound to die out, but the thorough
breds live on to procreate the species.
1t is law Of God and cannot change.

Poisoned Sweetness.

On the % instant Mrs. Jacob Dukes
of Orangeburg Couaty, and several
negro women and their children were
poisoned by eating honey impregnated
with the yellow jessamine juices. AL
most as soon as it was eaten two OF
the colored children began to COM
plain of blindness and dizziness and
within an hour died. The lives Of
the other two children were saved by
their vomiting. Mrs. Dukes and the
others were relieved by enetics. The
sudden death the week previous of
Mrs. Dukes's eldest son, whose illness
was accompanied by similar symp.
toms, is now accounted for, as he had
eaten some of the honey. The honey
of the low country is said to contain
poison, owing to the bees extracting
from the wild flowers, and persons
have frequently been made sick by
eating honey, but these seem to be
the first cases Of death from the use
Of it.

In the General Assembly of the

in Cincinnati lately, the Rev. DR..
Philip schaff, the foremost of the

New Testaments, offered resolution
that the baptism ofthe Roman Catho.
lie Church is true and valid original
baptism which ought not to be, and
cannot be repeated. And almost
simultaneously, DR.. Adam Stuart
Muir, a distinguished preacher of the
Free Presbyterian Church Of Scotland
was expelled from that Church for
popish practices. DR.. Muir was &C.

The Worlds Fair.
Funds Pledged to Carry on the ExhibI-
tiOn Another year--The Reopening
to Occur in November.

New ORLEANS, June At has
finally been determined that the New
Orleans Worlds Industrial end Cot.
ton Centennial Exposition shall be con.
tinued another year, opening in No.
vember. When the proposition was
first made it was believed that the
United States Government would al.
low the exhibits of the various de.
partments and bureaus to remain
here. The idea of continuance met
with great enthusiasm, and the sub.
scriptions needed were given in a
much shorter time than The original
contributions, but conditional upon
the governments exhibits remaining
here. When, therefore the President
refused to consent to this, the whole
project seemed t. fall to pieces. it
was not abandoned altogether, how.
ever, and an investigation was order
ed to see whether it was not possible
to reopen the exposition without the
aid, assistance, or exhibits of the
government. The commissioners of
the various States, and the foreign
and domestic exhibitors, seemed well
disposed toward this project, and it
remained only TO collect sufficient
money to assure success. Yesterday
a recanvass Of the city was made, and
all those VINO had subscribed toward |
re.opening conditional upon the gov.
ernment's exhibits remaining, were
asked whether they would repledge
their subscriptions without this con.
dition. Ninety-nine out of hundred
agreed to do 30, while several in
creased their subscriptions. At
meeting of the citizens committee
last night it was officially stated that
sufficient money had been pledged,
and thatthe exposition, in consequence,
would reopen in November. To-day
he United States Commissioners for
,he various States met to consider the
proposition. The citizens committee
,ffered to pay $4,000 each month
