A correspondent of Forney' Fret,
writing from Uuiouville, S. C of late
casea of outrages in that section, and of
the code of moral . in South Carolina,
aya : v- " ' , ' ,.'
There have been but few cases of oat
rages in this section recently. Spartans
burg has settled down since the visit of
the committee, but the fires are smoul
dering, not extinguished. There was
one horrible ca?e perpetrated in the
northern part of this county upon ne
gro preacher from Spartanburg C. H.
about two weeks ago. ThU man, Rev
Lewis Thompson, left Spartanburg to
visit his family, living in Union eounty.
and to remove tbera to Spartanburg. He
bad previously been driven out of Union
by the Kuklux, and fearing tbat the
lives of his family might be sacrificed,
returned here to a place of safety. The
first eight of his return home he was taken
out of bis bouse by disguised men, after
which time all trace of him was lost
Two or three days ago his dead body
was fouud in Tiger Creek, about twenty
miles from Unionville, riddled with bul
lets and mutilated in a most horrible
manner.
"TUB CODE OP MORALS"
in South Carolina, or the definition of it
by its leading citizens, is quite unique.
One of its few Democratic legirlators, a
man of mnch ability, when asked wheth
er or not the rich white natives cf the
State were responsible for tbe corruption
of the Legislature, replied, No," and
when asked if his opinion would be
changed when he was told tat these men
had bought up the votes of the members
again answered "Xo, because I do not
consider it a crime for a man to make a
fair business transaction, and buying
! dai keys in the Legislature now is no
I it- ,
i more than buying negroes on the auction
buying negroes
block before the war "
Another prominent Southern gentle
man, a lawyer of Unionville. tells me
that tbe members of the Kuklux are
high-toned, respectable gentlemen, who
are doinrr -rood work. His wife . 1, r,
o o " - "
calls them " blesginjrs in difeuise."
e
V hen I asked him if he had never heard
tbat these Kuklux occasionally murdered
a negro or white Radical, and very often
whipped one at night, he answered that
, f , , ,
imnlrA hnnaoa Ann thit Ihd u-liiia T?qt
cals had stolen the funds of the people
To the query, "Which is the greatest
crime, murder or petty larceny ?' this
representative South Carolina lawyer
and high-toned gentleman said that "The
killing or scourging of a npgro or white
Radical was no crime at all that public
opinion countenanced it, and that the
men who composed the Klan would not
be guilty of stealing a fol or a pound or
two of bacen.

From tkt Boite fait, Julp 19. . j
We mentioned in our columns, yester
day, the presence in Boston of a most
remarkable child, the offspring of Joseph
and Ann E. Finley. It presented tbe
remarkable as well aa . unprecedented
phenomenon of two beads, four arms and
two legs, and all upon a single body.
The girl for such was its sex died last
evening at No. 6 Bowdoin street. Toe
first half or bead breathed its last at five.
and the other shortly after eight o'clock.
The many thousands in the Western and
Middle States who have seen this mar
relona eccentricity of nature, witl learn
its early death with regret. . Tbe child
had enjoyed excellent health from her
birth, nine months ago, nntil . within two
weeks, at which time one exhibited signs
of illness. This, however, was but tem
porary. It recovered, and was bright
aud playful. . Since reaching Boston, a
few days since, the other or the other
half was taken sick and died yesterday
afternoon, as above stated. The two por
tions of the body are so intimately con
nected that tbe death of one rendered
the death of the other inevitable. The
spectacle was equally novel, strange and
unparalleled. Upon one end of the body
reposed the head of the dead iufant, upon
the other that of the live one with its
lungs in full breathing order. All that
medical aid could accomplish was done,
but it was found unavailing. Tbe child
died in the presence of its parents. Tbe
cflrpse presents the appearance of two
infants asleep. Apparently they escaped
the ordinary Buffering incident to death,
for the countenances had tbe expression
of repose. Tbe disposition of the body
is not determined upon. Several of tbe
physicians were desirous last evening of
having it opened for examination. ' It is
doubtful if the parents consent. They
reside in Monroe county, Ohio, and live
upon a farm. They have other children,
but none have exhibited any nnusnal
developments. Nor can this extraordi
nary departure from the laws of nature
be accounted for. In Philadelphia, where
all the medical Solons undertook to solve
the problem, nothing ' whatever was
brought to light. The child was looked
upon with amazement and interest, but
all attempts to account for its existence
were futile. It is regarded as more of a
curiofity than the Siamese twins, and
most certainly the spectacle was more
pleasurable to the eye The child was
shortly to have been exhibited to the
public, and would doubtless here as else
where, have attracted throngi of visitors
The parents were especially devoted to
the little marvel, and their sorrow is
grieveous.
Damage Done by a Whirlwind.
The Ashtabula, Ohio, Sentinel says :
On Thursday afternoon, at about 4 P. M..
a whirlwind struck the house of Mr. C.
E. Seager, who lives one and a half miles
north of Penn Line, utterly demolishing
it, and seriously injuring all of its occu
pants. 'J he family consists of Mr. Sea
ger and wife, his father and his wife's
mother. They were just sitting down
,o supper when the whirlwind struck the
house, lifted it up and nearly turned it
over, and again partly raising it dashed
it to the ground with such force that
scarcely two pieces were left together
Mr. Seager had his leg so badly crushed
tbat it was found necessary to amputate
it. II is father had two or three ribs
broken and was otherwise injured. Mrs.
Greenwood, bis mother in-law, was badly
bruised and had several very bad burns
from coming in contact with the stove,
and it is doubtful if she will recover.
Mrs. Seager had a bad wound in her fore
head and other bnrts. The barn was
torn to pieces, the corn house cannot be
found. The whirlwind passed on and
struck the bouse of Mr. Jacket, in
.-'eamsburg, Pa , several miles from the
first place. The family saw the danger
and fled from the house, which was
moved about six ftet from the foundation,
then shaken off and every piece of
crockery in the house destroyed. Dona
tiona are to be made to both families -Other
damage may have been done, but
the above is all wo have heard off.
A inhuman monster, iu the person of
a negro named Young, was brought be
fore court at Bainbridge, Ga on last
Monday, charged with cruelty to his
ward, a negro boy about five years old
Hpon the boy's person being examined,
his back was found to be literally skinned
and presented a disgueting appearance.
Young bad bee n in the habit of tortur
ing tbe boy by degiees, as was clearly
proven in court, the little fellow's back
being "iu the biggest state of lacerated
putrefaction." In default of tbe bail the
negro guardian wa. committed to jail.

EXPLOSION AHD FIRE AT WASH-
UGT0I, . v. '
, . , .. '
MAGAZINE TIP
LOS3 HALF A MILL1OX 0P DOLLARS.
Washijioton. x Jnly23. At three
o'clock on Saturday moruing an explo
sion occurred in a small magazine at the
Washington Arsenal, which is used for
the preparation of rockets, lights and
shells for the signal corps. The explo
sion was distinctly heard in the northern
part of .the city, and was immediately
followed by an alarm of fire. The con
sequence was a serious conflagration, in
volving the destruction of at least S50D,
000 worth of government property. ,
Sergeant Flint was at work in the
magazine on Friday night, and when he
left his work all things seemed to be in
good order, and it is supposed that the
explosion was the result of spontaneous
combustion. - The fire alo communicated
to another adjacent building in which
were stored saddle trees and other equip
ments. A quantity of iron in this build
ing can be made available in future. The
buildings to which the flames comma,
nicated were totally destroyed, and sev
eral small houses near the large build
ings were injured by tbe flamm.
There were four barrels of powder in
the magazine which exploded at the
Washington Arsenal. It was fourteen
feet square, doubled walla, with a slate
roof. This building was not entirely de
stroyed, but the foundation injuried
several feet below tbe level of the
ground, and the bricks scattered in all
directions ; one of them went through a
blacksmith shop about a quarter of a
mile distant from the place of explosion.
The cause of the explosion at the arse
nal will be investigated by the war De
partment. The shock was felt all over
Washington. All the windows in the
Government Insane Asylum, two miles
distant were broken.
A gentleman in Baltimore desiring, for
reasons best known to himself, to test
his wife's affection sent her a note, sta
ting that be was going to drown himself.
The bearer delivered the note by mistake
to tbe next door neighbor, a lady wbo.
not liking to communicate tbe dreadful
intelligence to the wife, handed the note
to a policeman. The policeman hurried
off and by some chance actually found
his mau on the banks of the canal He
promptly arrested him, notwithstanding
his explanations and protestations, and
marched him off to the station-house.
CANDIDATES' CARDS.
PRESIDENT JUDGE.
Mb. Editor: The time is near at hand
when tha people of this county will hare to
select candidates for the rarious offices to be
tilled at the October election ; and while it is
highly important that good men should be
chosen for eenr position, we. in common
with the voters of Cumberland and Perry
counties, have one office to fill of,jriojjJmn
ordinary importance I mean that of Presi
dent Judge, an office we are called upon to
fill only oiice in ten years, and which, from
its very nature, requires that no one woo
does not possess the necessary qualifications
suould he selected to fill. The candidate
should be a man of sound legal learning,
strong mind, good judgment, nnhending in
tegrity, industrious habitB, and one who can
control his temper, be firm and enl'.rrly free
from all political bias, and who would zeal
ously guard the interests of tbe people in the
administration of justice. I know of no one
in the District who posse8es these qualities
in a more eminent degree than the Hon. B.
F. Ji'SKiN, of Blnomfield, Perry county.
Ma. Junkis is well and favorably known in
this county, and, could he be prevailed upon
to permit his name to be used as a candidate,
his nomination would be gratifying to almost
every Kepublican in this county. Cumber
land county bas had the candidate ever since
tbe formation of tbe District, and it would
hardly be just or fair for them to claim it
again at this time. POPL'LUS.
ASSOCIATE JUDGE.
Tbe office of Associata Juilge, though not
lucrative, is one of tbe most important in the
county. Vr'e Lave frequently heard the name
of Dr. J. W. Beale, of the borough of Per
rysvillc, mentioned as a suitable candidate
for this position. He is popular, able and of
nnimpeachablt! integrity ; a man of modern
tion in his political views, and favorably
known to the whole community. He is there
fore offered to the Republicans of the county
as their candidate for Associate Judge ; and
for this purpose will be supported by
MAST CITIZENS.
LEGISLATURE.
Mb. Editob : Please announce Noah
Hert7i.er as candidate for the Legislature
Anytbirg more than the announcement of
Mr. Hertzler's name would be superfluous.
He is well and favorably known throughout
the entire county.
JUNIATA.
COMMISSIONER.
Me. Editob : I would recommend to the
electors of Juniata eounty, Caleb Jones, of
Perrysville, as a suitable man for the office or
County Commissioner. He is well nn!ifir.,l
for the position, being a good accountant, a
souna Kepublican, and, if elected, would give
general satisfaction.
