The death of Clayton was the cul,
mination of the series of brutalities,
the perpetrators of which there has
been no effort made by the authori-
ties or citizens to apprehend. Mr..
Benjamin, a prominent lawyer of
Little Rock, was first done to death
by an Infatuated mob before he
could alight from the cars, because
he went to Morllton to see fair play
at the congressional election. The
Judges of election were covered with
reyolyers, and the ballot box borne
off by another band because there
was five hundred majority in IL for
Clayton. The agent OF the latter,
taking testimony in the contest with
Breckenridge, under the laws OF the
| United States, in order to report
to Congress, was shot through
glass door, the ball piercing his
ear. and gashing his neck for three
inches, the assassination failing by
reason of the bad aim of the assas'
sin. Clayton, when he went to
Plummerville, uttered language that
is both pathetic and prophetic in
view of his sad fate. 81 do not be

The Grand Conclave Of the Knights of
Malta has Just completed its annual ses-
ION at Wilkesbarre, Pa, at which 1t was
reported that there are at present $50
COMMUNICATES In the United States, and
tnat othere are rapidly being formed.
Duilng discussion OF what plans should
Dc followed for the greatest benefit OF the
members, the following resolution was
ADOPTED by an enthusiastic and unani-
nous vote:
"As Philadelphia Is named as the
headquarters OF the order II would seem
proper to establish there a great building
whose wings shall serve as the head
quarters OF the Supreme Grand Com
mandery, home for aged aud intirn
compan'ons, an orphanage for the little
ones bequeathed to the order by those
who have gone TO meet our elder brothers
In the celestial council chamber, a hos
pital Tor tile relief OF the sick and suffer
Ing, and possibly home for aged cou-
plesi while above tower that shall crown
the centre of this, Maltese cross shall
hoat, the standard Of the order"
That this Is not nero expression of
opinion was shown by the fact that
committee was appointed TO Investigate
and report on the feasibility of carrying
the plan into operation, ascertaining the
probable cost, and the best method of
raising funds for the purpose. There ia
every reason to believe that the work
will I've undertaken. and a building such
as proposed erected. II it is II wi i con-
stitute this order one OF tho noblest and
most useful In the world.
The ancient and i,lustrious order of
The Knights of Malta was established at
Jerusalem, A. d., 1C4s, and Incorporated
In America, a. D., 1891. 1t Is neither a
national, fectarian or political institu-
tion, but consists Of a body of men band
ed together under the most binding forms
to comfort one another In tho practice OF
the Christian religion, and to offer mu-
tual assistance in time of need. 1t pays
weekly benefits TO such OF its members as
are sick or disabled, aud funeral bene-
fits TO their families In case OF death.
Tho order also has military feature
which makes 1t very attractive to young
men.

A party oil residents living IN and

10 O'Clock p. M. repaired to the spot Sc
lected to idspect the ground and arrange
tome further matters about the location
OF the depot. After all seemed 10 be
satisfied, a question was asked OF Mr.
Longstteet, who spoke for the p, w. 81
b. X. r., that depot would not bo built
at all this winter, but that the company
would simply put in platform with no
shelter. 10 would be needless to say that
the meeting took a very fastened ad-
journment; those present pledging them
selves to stand TO the old depot, until
something better could be given than q
platform.
