malice and which cannot be met by parties
affected. The Republican Senators are a
unit on this point They also put the ques-
tion in another light, claiming that under
reasons for suspensions be we'll established,
the Senate would be equally at loss how
to act. The effect of the controversy will
be to put a stop to purely partisan charges
against officials in Office, whether Republi-
cans or Democrats.
LANCASTER MOVING.-COl. r.. a. John
son, General Manager Of the Massachusetts
and Southern Construction Company, paid
our town a visit on Monday night last, and
at their request addressed large number of
our citizens at the Court House upon the
new projected railroad from Cincinnati to
Charleston. The meeting was organized by
calling r. f. Allison Esq, to the chair
and the appointment of Paul Moore, Esq,
Secretary. The object of the meeting was
explained by the chairman, after which Col.
Johnson, i'm business way explained the in
tention and purposes Of the company. He
said that the building Of the road was GER
tainty, and that the Company would guar
antee to put in $500 for every 81 90 subscrib-
ed in township or county bonds through the
country in which the road should be finally
located. Surveys had been made from
Blacks Station via York to Rock Hill and
that so far the Road had been located.
SURVEYS had also been made from Rock
Hill to Rocky Mount on the Chester side Of
the Catawba that his surveyors were now
at this place, having crossed the river at
| Landsford and would run line via this
place. Pleasant Hill, and Flat Rock to Cam
den. But the location Of the road depend
ed upon the aid which the sections through
which passed would give it. He did not
ask for dollar of bonds or money sub
scribed only as the road progressed. For
instance :-as the work progresses, say
one third finished, the company would
til the road was completed. 1t was also
contemplated by the company to run a
branch Road from Monroe, n. &. to this
place, which would make Lancaster grand
central point of three Roads. Col. johnson
said many other things which encouraged
us in this grand enterprise, and If carried
out will make Lancaster city Of no small
dimensions, in few years.
Major Hart, of York, and Mr.. G.. A. Frick,
of Shelby, being called upon, also addressed
the meeting, showing the great advantages
to be derived by the completion of this
grand enterprise.
On motion of Major B. +. Miller, a COM
mittee of five was appointed to confer with
Col. Johnson, and report to an adjourned
meeting of the citizens to be held on Satur-
day the 18th instant.-Loncdster Ledger.
MoRMoSs IN THE MoUNTA1Ss.-some
citizens about Danville, Oconee county, de-
sire to know what course they had best take
to rid their settlement of some Mormon
priests who it seems are industriously en-
gagged in propagating their doctrines in that
section. Our information is that they have
gained few converts and seem to be en-
cOuraged. The summary process OF VlO-
lence has been used with complete success
in several portions Of the State, but this
should not be resorted to, for citizens have
no right to take the law into their own
hands except to prevent felony. These
priests would not stay long in place unless
they met with some encouragement. But
if they or any of their converts violate the
law by practicing the polygamy depart
ment Of the Mormon faith, then every OBJ
stacle between such offenders and the State
pententiary is removed.
The easiest and Surest way for the citizens
of Danvile to ascertain their legal rights in
the matter is to find out precisely what the
Mormons are doing, and to report the same
to some member of the grand jury, who
will bring the matter to the attention OF the
court. When Solicitor Orr finds out what
man is doing in community, and the
effect Of his deeds, if the statutes furnish the
peg he will soon suspend him.-U0hoHd

A MISERABLE FATE.-On Monday morn
ing Mr.. J. Burton Smith brought his grown
son to Spartanburg to haye him commit
ted to the lunatic asylum. In last Sep
tember an earwig entered his ear; he suf-
fered excruciating torture. His head be-
came so swollen that it burst at the temple.
Twelve DAYS ago pressure upon his neck
forced the putrid little viper from his ear.
But his suferings have been so intense that
his intellect is gone-his mind is blank
