TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 1. J. A. MOOD. M. D. I F D. B. ANDERSON, j ^WT0^ The net loss of property destroyed in the late fires in Michigan is cow estimated at a little more than $1,700,000. Capt. Bogardos, the world-renowned "shootist," will be at the State Fair, and will give an exhibition of his wonderful skill with the shotgun. Got. Hamilton's daughter, whose elope ment with Mr. Stanhope caused a social flut ter in Maryland, has returned to her father's house. The bridegroom has also gone back under his parental wing. Abe Gibson, aged 13, and Geo. Patton, aged ten, both colored quarrelled near Bradley'j> Mills, Abbeville, on Tuesday over a game of marbles. Abe obtained a pistol aud shot George to death. There is another development in the Cramer mystery. Blanche Douglass is charged with the murder of the unfortunate Jennie. New evidence is said to have been unearthed. A number of Georgia Repuplicans have re quested President Atrhur to appoint General Longstreet to a position in his cabinet. A committee has been appointed to present their request The President on the 2Tth made the follow ing nominations, which were confirmed by the Senate in Executive Session: Chas. J. Folger, of New York, Secretary of the Treas ury ; ThomasX. James, of New York, Post master General ; Frank Hatton, of Iowa, First Assistant Postmaster General. The Aiken Journal and Review notices the fact that Mr- James Slsmore and Miss Salioa Woodsworth, two paupers in the county poor house, were married last week, the groom being 70 years old and the bride 33 years old. The paupers of Aiken county must either be prospering or there is something about getting married not properly understood by newspaper men. The English Life of President Garfield "From Log Cabin to the White House," has reached a third edition, which iucludes a chapter on his tragic death. An edition of this work iu Dutch will appear shortly in Amsterdam. The jnry in the famous Jeff David case of Abbeville, the bearing of which began on last Thursday morning, retired at 1 o'clock Sat urday morning and in half an hour returned with a verdict of not guilty. The old man was completely overcome with joy. Preston Gofortb, Jr., and a colored man by the name of Wilson were riding along ; the road, and were running or galloping j their horses, not far from Grassy Pond, in j Spa'rtanbarg county, on Saturday night, when GofortH pulled out a pistol to fire i for amusement. By accident a ball catered j Wilsons body not far from the heart, and j the doctor says there is no hope for his life, j ?tJwas purely accidental. ; *?',Wben in, 1 SCI, Governor Morgan appoin ted ! young Arthur engineer on his staff," says the ! Buffalo Expr?s^ ''about the last thing he ' could have dreamed of was that young Ar-j thnr wou?d, as President, return the compli- j ment by appointing the Governor Secretary j of the Treasury in 1881." Thb Poll Tax?Judge Pressley decided ! that no one could be imprisoned for failing] to pay a poll tax. Judge Hudson decided j exactly to the contrary, that the delinquent j could be imprisoned. The case has gone be fore the Supreme. Court and the decision ren dered sustaining Judge Hudson's view. This decision is a very important one, as there are many who dodge the taxes, and as the poll tax goes to school purposes it is to the interest 1 of the people that as much as possible be j collected. j The Darlingion Southerner says that "a j stranger, traveling with his wife in a covered j wagon, came into town on Wednesday moro- i ing last, about daylight, and when just in j front of the Presbyterian church, on Pearl street, the cries of the unfortunate and help less woman were heard which disclosed the fact that an addition to the family had sud denly and unexpectedly appeared. Through the active efforts of the father, the services of Dr. Willcox were immediately secured, and the mother and child soon received that at tention which they required, and were and are now properly cared for. The man is traveling with a galvanic battery with which he shocks the afflicted. He seems to be doiug business on an independent scale as he re fused assistance tendered him, in lac way of money and clothes." President Authur's Promises to the C.T. TT. Washington*, October 29.?The members of the Woman's National Christian Temperance Union called on the President to-d iy. Miss Willard, President of the Union made a. few remarks and introduced Mrs. Chapin, of South Carolina, who said the ladies there brought the President their allegiance, though ibey could not bring him their support. In behalf of the stricken South, sue prayed that her section of the country would find a friend in the President. President Arthur said he was in eutire sympathy with the South in her recuperation, and was determined that no section of the country, should, during his ad ministration, be favored, as far as it was in his power to prevent, over another. Mrs. Chapin thanked bim, and said that she would carry his words back with her to tell the peo ple at home. The President then thanked them for their kind words and sympathy, and the ladies, after shanking hands with the President withdrew. Guiteau's Trial Postponed. Washington, Oct. 26.?In the criminal Court this morning Messrs. Scoville and Rob inson, counsel for Guiteau, made an applica tion for the postponement of the trial of their client, and after hearing argument pro and con the Court stated that under all the cir cumstances in the case he would postpone the trial from Nov. 7 to Nov. 14. Mr. Scoville stated that in his opinion the Court had jurisdiction over the case, and in timated that he would not raise any question on that point. District Attorney Corkhiil has received a telegram from Judge Porter of New York, stating that he will assist the Government counsel in the prosecution of Guiteau. ?? w _ The Boom in Confederate Securities. The market for Confederate bonds yester day was feverish and excited. Sales were made at widely different rates, one lot of $5,000selling as low as S4 a thons.nd and another lot of $12,C00 selling at S13 a thous and. A sale of $500,000 was made on ac count of one of the banks at S10 and several smaller lots changed hands at $10 and $12. The total sales in Charleston yesterday were about $600,000. A ripple of excitement was caused by an advertisement for Confederate notes, but the boom in these was not very extensive, it being understood that they were wanted for the purpose of circulating them with an advertisement on the back. A sm;.!I amount^of notes were sold at 25 cents per $1,000. Some bullish oolders of Confederate bonds were talking yesterday of getting ?25 and $30 a thousand for their precious rubbish ; bat telegrams from New Yoik received in the afternoon reported a break in the market, the bonds being freely oOred there at $7.50. Whether the bottom has fallen out of the boom or not, it has certainly been a godsend to the people of the South, and the surplus cash of the knowing Amsterdam investors will circulate in Dixie all the more freely be canse the lucky recipient never expected a cent from such a source.?Sunday Xacs. IRISH TROUBLES. ?.?o? j Oue of the most annoying problems j of English politics for the last three I quarters of a century, is tbe attitude of I Ireland to that country. Although ! Englishmen pride themselves upon their skill as administrators, and claim to be ready to do justice to those who arc dependent upon them for obtaining the recognition of their rights, they have been unable to satisfy or even tranquilizc for a time, a people who have furnished many of the best soldiers in their armies, and some of the most bril liant orators and ablest writers to their literature. Books, articles and pamphlets without number have bceu devoted to the eluci dation of the subject, policy after policy his been tried yet there is as little gen uine contentment with English rule as there was 1800. The old race-hatred which has done so much mischief in the past is again being kiodled by Parnell j and his followers. ! Although much adverse criticism has [ has been made upon the course of Irish j j leaders, and the doings of hot-headed j agitators severely condemned, there are j a great many real disabilities to which j ! they are subject, aud for which much j j allowance is to be made. In a country where coercion acts are common ; volunteer enrollment not per ; permitted ; the possession of arms for- : i bidden ; where, besides the permanent J garrison of forty thousand men, a con- j j stabulary force of twelve thousand more i ? is kept, to prevent uprising and enforce j the laws ; where land-laws enable the j owner to convert his vast estates into ! forests or hunting-grounds, thereby le j gaily destroying his fellow-creatures ; j where heavy taxes and high rents make I industry unprofitable ; in such a coun I try we can scarcely wonder that tbe [ people do not heartily enter into the j spirit of free institutions, i Such has been the case with Ireland ! for many years and we cannot be sur prised, to fiod dissatisfaction and sedi tion. It is not strange that dreams of j independence, however vague, are dear, ! and movements however impolitic, ! which look toward the weakening of British rule, should be eagerly welcom ed by the masses. The drought and floods of the past two years which have brought hardship and pressure to England means starva tion in Ireland. The population already decimated by famine, disease and em igration, have demanded a radical change in the land-laws, which have been grant- j cd Mistaking the conciliation of Eng- j land for strength on their part, the Land j leaguers have made still greater de- J mands which England will not grant, j and Mr. Parnell and many of his ad- j berents have been thrown in prisOD, j while the meetings of land-leaguers j have been tabooed. This will probably : end the present trouble for a time, but j it is doomed to recur. 'The English j have always based their policy upon ! force, rather than upon measures which I look towards the development of loyalty ! and good-will among the Irish. Until Ireland is governed more in accordance j with the views of the majority of her j population, and less on the lines of any ; preconceived policy, however sound, j she will continue to be a source of weak ness and annoyance rather than strength. The "Peerless" Engine. j As appears from the official announcement j i of Premiums awarded, tbe "Peerless" Engine, ; made by tbe Geiser Manufacturing Co m pan v, i and represented in this State by Messrs. ! Screvcu & Bridges, of Columbia, S. Ci. bas ! taken the premium at tbe Sumtcr Couuiy I Fair. The test was mechanical construction? j the "Peerless" being generally prououoced j i faultless. j This decision is tbe echo of thai reached in I Cincinnati at the Exposition which ended on the 8tb of October. The Cincinnati Gazette, i of October 12th, announces that after a long i and severe test, the $500 Gold Premium, and ! the Gold and Silver Medals were awarded the i "Peerless" for general superiority over all ! competitors. Prof. lloadley one of the most ; eminent engineers of the United States was at ! the head of tbe Committee making the award, j and we can but entertaiu tbe highest regard j i'or the decission of such a competent judge, I The premium is awarded also to the vertical j miil exhibited by Screven & Bridges, and j j made by tbe Richmond City Mill Works of j which they are sole ageuts. The Coming State Fair. The Stale Fair, in Columbia, will open this i year on tbe 8th of Nov., and close on the 11th j and every effort is being made to render it a j success. Tbe Register says that ibe people of I Columbia will give all who go a cordial \vel j come, and that preparation is making for j pageants, "rivalling in grandeur tbe Mardi j Gras, of New Orleans, the Orioles, of Balti j more, and tbe Veiled Prophets, of St. Louis, j At night there will be illuminations and tbe j most magnificent and costly fire-workes ever ! seen in Columbia. No trouble nor expense j will be spared to make the display unprece j dented in magnificence " The TT. S. Senate Adjourn?C. j The Senate adjourned sine die at half-past j -J o'clock on the 29th. j On the last day of the session Senator Hill, I of Georgia, offered the following resolution, ! and asked for its immediate consideration ! which being objected to by McMillan, was laid ; over under rules : j Resolved, That the appointments to offices under the Federal Goverment ought not to ! be made to control or influence elections in ! the several States, and appointments made ! with such intent are unwise, unpatriotic j and contrary to the spirit of our political in stitutions, and if continued without rebuke by the people will become dangerous to the purpetuily of our institution, i Bayard offered the following resolution : j RtsUctd, That the tiianks of the Senate j are hereby tendered to the Hon. David Davis i for the courtesy, impartiality and ability j with which he has preformed his duties as j President pro fern. [ Agreed to unanimously, and Mr. Davis, j having resumed the chair, which for the ! moment he had vacated, said : j "Senators?I am touched by tbe generous j expressions in the resolution which it has ! ; pleased the Senate to pass iu my honor, and i I am grateful for the courteous co-operation 1 which has been extended to me from all j sides in administering the duties of tbe pre i siding officer of this high and enlightened [ body. Hoping that every member of tbe Senate will reiurn happily and safely to his ; home and be pcV mitted to resume his duties j here at the next meeting of Congress, it I only remains for me to declare the Senate I adjourned without day." Cabinet Appointments. On Monday last President Arthur sent in the nomination of ex-Governor E. D Morgan of New York, as Secretary of the Treasury. The Senate immediately confirr?ed the same ; but Gov. Morgan declined the position, and on Thursday the President nominated Judge Charles J. Folger of New York, for Secretary of the Tresury and Thos. L. Jm^|^ York, for Postmaster-General, lions were at once confirmed, a:fl will remain is at present, uH convenes in December, when it is^uuaeTsiootP that other changes will be made. WHY MORGAN DECLINED! The time consumed in negotiating with Mr Morgan has annoyed many waiting Senators and they are disposed to criticise the Presi dent for not ascertaining whether or not his nominee would accept before sending his name to the Senate. The President is in no wise to blame for the delay. It requires no considerable stretch of the imagination to fancy that Governor Morgan's name never would have been sent to the Senate unless the President's assurances that he would accept had been satisfactory. The truth is that Governor Morgan really desired to take the place. His physicians and bis wife opposed his inclinations and he deferred to their judge ment. If it appears as though the Governor dallied with the President's invitation and had some difficulty in deciding the question, it 1 must be attributed to a struggle between per- j sonnl wishes and physical weakness. In re- | fusing the Governor bid farewell to political ambition. While the President is disappoint ed, he appreciates Governor Morgan's position and has no feeling on the subject save that of the most cordial good-will. ? ?cM ni i ? - PEEMIUMS AW AB DE D ?AT?
