"Blood on the Moon.',

Mr.. T.. III. Pattillo, the corresponds
ent Of the Augusta Chronicle, writes
to that paper from Columbia, under
date of July 10, that Capt. trillman
ssmay not be the next Governor 'Jt
South Carolina" for two reasons,
which arc stated rs follows:
"Somc of tho best and Epurest
Democrats advocate direct appeal
to the ballot box. If the negro oan
be marshallcd into the ranks against
TillmaD, they bclicvcit will simply
be fight ng the devil with fire. They
hold that the election of Gen. Earle
or Gen. Bratton by such means
would be no more disrcputablc to
them rs Democrats than being beaten
by Tillman. Therefore, if thcrc be
any iGrcgula,ity on the part of the
'I'illman faction in the August or
September Conventions, this will be
the inevitable programme. Tho ne
gro vote can be had for n "considcra-
tion," "and with the white Anti-Till-
a.an contingent would defeat Capt.
TillmMn at the polls. There are
thousands of men in South Carolina
who would not vote for Tillman for
any consideration, and this contin-
gent will have a voice in the coming
events.
"And there is another reason why
Capt. Tillman may not become Gov
crnor. There is a possibility that he
will not live to sec election day.
Some of his friends openly assert
that IN effort will be made t. assas-
sinatc him. lie is said to have re-
ccived letters informing him that
plans have been formed for his as
sassination. Capt. Tillman
realizes the seriousness of his atti-
tu,lc and frequently Expresses him
self rs fearful that he will be assas-
sinatcd."
We believe Mr.. Pattillo will find
himself much mistaken on both
these points in the future.

Tho Date of tho Cruciilxion.s

That tba time of Ghrist's ,cruci-
fixion may bc9approximately demon
strated by astronomical calculation,
after paying due regard to the his
torical data i'm our possession, is
asserted by Judge Joseph p. Bradley,
of the Supreme Court of the United
States. The cardinaIcomditions re-
4uircd are: First, that the time must
be brought within theprocuratorship
of Pontius Plate; secondly, it must
be after the fifteenth year of tho
reign Of the Emperor tl'ibcrius and
after the thirticth yepr of ChriSt's
age; thirdly, it must occur on tho
10Th of the jewish month Nisan (or
AbbO and on the sixth day Of the
week, or Friday. After a great deal
of laborious research Mr.. Bradley
dcduccd the following conclusions
"Therc was only three years from "A !.
d. 27 to A. ID. 35, inclusive, in which
tho 1st Of Nissan, and consequently
tho 10Th Of Nisan happened on Fri
day. These were A, y. II, 30 and
33, the last being very doubtful.
Bat the crucifixion could not have
happened before A. DPS, and pro
badly not later than a.. d. 81.
Therefore tho year 30 is the only
one which satisfies all tho conditions
of the problem. 1t satisfies thcm,
because it gives opportunity for
Jesus to teach publicly for about
three years and to attend three pass
overs during his ministry, or four,
according as it commenced on or be-
fore April 8, "A. ID. II. Now, since
in a. ID. 30 the 1st of Nissan fell on
Friday, the 24th OF March, the 18th
fell on Friday, the 7th Of April,
which was the day Of the cruciiixion.
