J.JfcDOXALD. j - ' --- I Since Secretary Manning took charge I of the Treasury Department the services of sixty clerks have been dis-1 pensed with, as the interests of the ! government do not require their ser-1 viccs. The decrease will result in an j annual savins: of not less than $G6,000. i Ex-Sexator Thurmax was inter-1 viewed some time ago in reference to j nsing bis name as a candidate for j Governor of Ohio. He unhesitatingly I says that in no case will he be a candi- j date, nor would he accept thenomina-1 lion if it was unanimously tendered him. Ix the number of appointments made by the President on Saturday the names oi two soum uaronnians ap- j pear. Mr. W. D. Warner, who lias! been in the consular scrvice for some : years, goes to Cologne. Mr. L. D. Pringle goes as consul to Tegucigalpa, j Honduras. Both positions pay a sal- j ary of $2,000 annually. Twexty-oxe new lawyers w ere ad- j mittcd to the bar by the Supreme: Court on the 26th inst. Among the1 number was ex-Cadet Wbittaker who ; was an applicant in December last, J but for some reason was not examined.; This is turning out legal advisers at the rate of about forty a year, and it seems to be only a matter of time when everybody will he an attorney. It is stated that the Mormon missionaries are making a number of converts in the mountainous districts of Tennessee. The attack made upon them some timo ago does not seem to hnro hnrl mnch effpcf- linrm thorn. ThfiV should b8 taught by law that such loathsome immoralities as arc practiced by them will not be tolerated by an enlightened community. The contest for the coliectorship at Charleston is growing so warm and persistent that it is stated that the President remarked to a personal friend that the applicants for the position acted as though they imagined the world would shortly come to an end, judging irom tiie persistency witn which they are urging their claims. It is probable that an appointment to fill this important po'sition will be made this week. Secretary Lamar has ordered that payments be stopped to the contractors who are improving Hot Springs Creek in Arkansas. The Secretary, under Mr. Arthur's administration, had an engineer to visit the work and note its progress. The work was not. satisfactory and it was so reported to the De- i partxent, ana consequently it was; stopped. About $40,000 of the $00,000 j appropriated has been spent. The j contractors will appeal to the Court of j Claims. Saturday, the 30th of May, wasob-' served throughout the North as Deco- j ration Day. The President and Secre-1 taries Endicott and Whitney attended ] the ceremonies in New York city. The ! President requested to be excused from j callers as he wished to gain some rest | I and physical benefit from :he trip. He j would donbtless need something' of the j kind, considering his arduous duties j since he became President, and would j also find pleasure in attending- the j ceremonies of the decoration of the graves of Union soldiers. Beckford Mackey, Consul at Rio j Grande do Sul, Gautemala, lias been arrested and imprisoned for an assault j nnnn amo \f ? A mnimm on oriifai* T* i V/.iV, .Ul u I seems that the editor had made an j attack through the columns of his j paper for no ascertained cause, and | that while the Consul was going into i a theatre Araorim met him with an i uplifted stick, when Mackey hit him j with his own. The editor then drew j his pistol, but before he could fire was j shot twice by Mackev. All the foreign i consuls have signed a statement jnsti- ; iVUlJJ Illo clKlU ll'UUIUSC Uiuzcllfc I "have tendered their aid, and a leading lawyer has volunteered to defend huu. j A PR0GKA3DIE for the gradual doing I away with slavery has been proposed j by the new miuistry for Brazil. The plan provides for a registry of all slaves i with the declaration of the value of j each one, and this value shall be j subject to a yearly depreciation of five per cent. All slaves of the age of sixty years will have no money value, but will be compelled to serve for a term of three years. An emancipation [ fund will be created by a tax on all I public reveuues, and an indemnification in five per cent, policies to one-half the value of each slave will be :n:tde to the siavc-owners. The troubles and difficulties of Eng- i land and Russia seem at last to besettled ; satisfactorily to both parties by Russia j accepting the proposals of England in ! reference to the Afghan boundary. The : ^''"Sgeaceable settlement seems due to the wTSs^atesmanship of Mr. Gladstone. In speakftJS^f him the Daily News says. Mr. Gladstone h:Cs crowned his illustrious career by again rendering the country a signal service. We must j lisji iivn mku* j.> ^cuuicu, how near we came to war such as this generation has not seen. Neither mere obstinacy nor skill in diplomacy could have averted it. The task required a combination of the highest qualities which go to make up the comnlex ?ift of statesmanhin. The President in making appoint- | rncnts in States where there are two factions takes an outsider. The lol-; lowing from the New York Herald j shows his action in the case of the co!- | K>L lllvCl llal IOCUUU in UiC Vll\ VI I San Francisco: The appointment of Asa Ellis, a; granger resident of Los Angeles, as j collector of interna! revenue at San J Francisco, was a great surprise to the ; California Democrats here. Both j factions of the California Democracy | had candidates for this position, which factions of the California Democracy had candidates for this position, which ?rr>rv/^.r*fonf r\nf* \fi? Tvl I?*; ffled no application for the place and knew nothing" about it until telegrapheel yesterday that he had been appointed. Justice Field, of the United States Supreme Court, had been pressing Mr. Maynard for the place. It is understood that this appointment is but a forerunner of others that are to be made in California, the successful man not belonging to either of the factions. A? it is thought the President will follow this course in the other appointmfmti: rm Mif* . hnth fftftioilS are displeased. As Mr. Sessions was originally from Fairfield an account of the execution of his murderer will be of interest to some of our readers: John Terry expiated on the gallows on Friday the crime of the murder of John Sessions. He did not sieep much the night before until just before .day. He said that his cell was warm. He ate breakfast as usual. The Rev. Messrs. Davis, M. E. C., and Alonzo Harrison, Baptist, both colored, sang ana prayed wiui mm, Terry joining 111 the singing-, and at one time be led in the prayers himself When asked if he wished to say anything to Ihe crowd, which had gathered in the street next 4iis window, lie replied: "Very little," and walking to the window, said: "I warn you all to keep out of bad company. There is bad among white and colored. I fell in the white. 1 feel that I am prepared to meet my God. Mv sentence is just, and the i sooner I go out of my trouble the better it will be for me." He did not appear to be excited. He was then taken to the gallows, where the death sentence was read by the sheriff and Parson Harrison read the j tivf>ntv-fhird Psalm. He stood and listened and chewed his tobacco apparently with a relish. At a motion from Sheriff W. 15. Peoples he threw his tobacco out and* mounted the scaffold firmly without a change of countenance. At 12.10 p. m. the drop fell, breaking his neck. Twenty minutes afterwards Drs. Todd and * Kirkland pronounced life extinct. The Evening Critic of Washington thus speaks of the attitude of the Senate on civil service reform: It says that it is well founded that at the last of the many caucuses held by j i the Kepablican Senators, while the j i Senate was in extra session, two rules i were adopted as expressing tne itepno| i'iean view of civil service reform. The i rales were as follows: That in case | of the removal of any efficient Kepubj Jican public officer ou the alleged j ground of offensive partisanship and ! the nomination of a Democratic parti' san in his place that such nomination I will.not be confirmed; that in case any Democratic partisan causes the removal of an efficient Republican and receives as his reward for causing such removal the nomination as successor to the decapitated official, that such nominaimf K/i TKd i?no. | sons assigned, according to the Critic, for the adoption of these rules are ' understood to be in effect that the i Senate, under the constitutional .proj vision of advice and consent, is ?.n advisory body to the Evecutive, and, with him, is held responsible for the character of the civil service, and that under the lawsof Congress establishing civil service reform in the public offices of the country their duty requires some such action as indicated in the above caucus rules. The authoritative denial of the statements quoted was made here by the only Republican Senator of whom innnirv was made. The paragraph is probably reasoned out, as it was said by a Senator who attended all the caucuses that the Republicans <:id not adopt any policy intended to operate beyond the extra session. Senator Edmunds was reported as declaring that he would not be bound by caucus action upon all nominations, but would insist upon exercising his right and duty to decide and vote upon each case on its merits. It is not believed to be possible for the President to make nominations that will without exception receive the approval of the Senate. The President will probably not anticipate the predicted fight, but will go or making nominations according to his best light, refusing to be deterred by unofficial proclamations calculated to check the work of etfectiug a change.' ^ wm Lancaster has been the scene o another murder. It occurred on Friday, and the parties concerned were Messrs. Cunningham and Vaientine. The ready pistol in the hands of the former resulted in the death of the latter. The editorial comment of the JVe/rs and Courier is so well taken and to the point that nothing we could say could give it any more force: The latest murder in the State was committed in Lancaster county on Friday, and the murderer has not yet been arrested. Too much effort cannot he expended in securing -the arrest of persons accused of homicide, as nothing less than a speedy trial and exemplary punishment will check the current of lawlessness. We have no desire to prejudge the ease, but, as Cunningham, who killed Valentine, ha* fled, it is presumed that he has not much confidence in his ability to establish his innocence. It will take a good many hangings in South Carolina to ?> fKA Af Knf Ut& iiumwi v* .ivnnvmco, uwi undoubtedly a measure of prevention, if not of cure, is the enforcement of the .law against carrying: concealed weapons. Had Cunningham and Valentine beeti without pistols, the probabilities are that they would both be alive and well to-day. The convenient pistol, under the inspiration usually to fho mnmo r\f tho KJi %> 4il ."JXV) j XO bliV UUV V-UUOV V* WllV bloodshed in the State. The foregoing comment simply voices the sentiment of the entire press of the State. Nothing bnt a rigid enforcement of the law against carrying concealed weapons, anu a just punishir.ent of the crimes resulting from the same will decrease the number of crimes committed in the State. The Charleston Collectorship. The contest between the contending factions in Charleston, over the Coliecfcorship of i he port, seems to be getting more and more bitter every day. It is doubtful now whether the appointment of either Captain Walker or Mr. ^uowry u;i;i jjive uie ^ausjutcuuii WHICH | ought to attend the filling of an office so deeply affecting the interests of our metropolis. The matter would be very satisfactorily settled by the appointment of General John D. Kennedy, who, we understand has been strongly recommended as well in Charleston as in many other portions of the State. General Kenr.e Jv is a man of fine abilities, and is more than equal to a most efficient discharge of all the duties of the Collectorship. If active and arduous service to the State, both in war and iu peace, is entitled to recognition,|there is scarcely a man in the State who has higher claims to e M_" " '".J " " " handsome recognition. General Kennedy's appointment would be received i with great satisfaction all over South | Carolina. The fact that he is not a i Charlestonian ought not to weigh any I thing. | The Collectorship of the port has ! never been regarded as exclnsivelv belonging to the residents of tiie city. The precedents both before and since the war are chiefly the other way. Impossible! It is a Lie. The correponding editor of the New York Freeman, T. McCants Stewart, has written an article to that paper in j which he draws upon his vivid iuiagin atiouto sucn an extent tuat we cannot in justice to our people let pass unnoticed. The following- is bis description of industrial slavery in the Palmetto State: "I d'on't believe it! I can hardly believe it! Impossible!" These are ejaculations which -escaped my lips as we crawlcd up into the mountains of South Carolina on a train making about twenty-five miles an hour. "Well, sir, it is true," replied the voices of two highly educated clergymen, native South CaroHnions, men who would , aehght to paint nothing but the brightest pictures of life in the Palmetto State. There are places in the middle and up country in which industrial slavery has taken "the place of chattel slavery, in which the last estate of the colored man and citizen is worse than the being with no rights that white men were bound :o .lespect! It is not necessary to locate these slave districts. If I were pressed for places and names I would mention Fairfield, county and the Mobley plantation. Thank God such blots on our civilization are localized. They tell me that it would make the heart bleed to go into some of the middle and up country plantations which are ten and fif* te(?n miles from the railroad, and far removed from all "centres ot civilization." Words would convey only a faint idea?hardly any idea of life o.n them. Let us attempt a description, not from fancies but from facts. Two hundred hands arc employed. Men, women and children number altogether about live or six hundred. Their huts of logs, the cracks of which arc filled with clay, are .horrible to behold. I saw some specimens the other day while on a drive fifteen miles through the country. Uninviting without, they are cheerless within. Everybody* is* Doorlv. clad?hardlv decentlv at times. Wages are very low. But there seem9 to be 110 escape. When a poor man gets a wife and five or six children on his hands he cannot pull up stakes and move away at will, especially when: he finds himself working from year to year and only able to maintain a miserable existence. Everything is against him. The "Boss" has a store on the place at which the workman must do his trading. The "Boss" issues plantation money which is good only at the plantation store. The "Boss" keeps the current account. He secures th? ap pointment of a trial justice whose judgment and decisions the -'Boss" influences as I would the movements of a devoted dog. There is no escape. Sometimes they go to law. Man and master appeal to^the trial justice. Result always is as the master wants it. Sometimes they don't go through the farce of a judicial investigation." The "Boss" scorns it. I heard this?Col. Moblev, of Fairfield county, South Carolina, listened for a moment impatiently to a colored hand who disputed the correctness of an account. Taking his pistol in one hand, he held his whip in the other, made the man strip himself to the waist, then whipped him as a driver would have'"done in the ac* cursed days of slavery! Miserabile ! fJSrtn f TTnrrihilfi. rJ.trf.nl No wonder a poor man said to me in Orangeburg county (lie lived six miles from the railroad): "Capting, it is hard down h'yar. \Ve nebber gits 'head. At the en' of de y'ar de storekeepers say to we who trade wid nm, as dey run up deir books: 'Nought is nought, and nine is nine; All this com an' cotton am mine.' No, sir, we nebber gits 'head!" In the dark rural places they rise at the sound of the slave horn, go to work by it and stop at its call. They are j whipped as in slavery!! Do you wonder at my crying, "I don't believe it! I can'jt hardly believe it! Impossible?" But it is true. Re nember, it is Hugo who says, "The evolutions of fact are sometimes stranger than the romances of fiction." Why, sir, on those plantations the people are kept as closely confined as before the war. The "Boss" builds a church on the place for the hands and dictates who the preacher shall be; and in order to prevent the preaching of ideas that would "spoil the nig-groes and make them sassy," the "Boss" and his family attend every service and muzzle the poor ignorant preacher even as he tyrannizes over the trial justice. Dark, dark, dark; but remember this life of vassalage and hardship, of tyranny and poverty is localized. We see it as black spots on a brightening sky. We vai-ilr KpHpvp flint tho r.avs of the snn uf progress will strike even into those dark places in oar rural districts winch, are full of dead men's bones. God speed the day. I wish that we who live in "centres of civilization" in South Carolina would arouse ourselves, get well authenticated facts, and in some way beard those rural industrial hyenas in their hidden places and expose them in the press and in the courts and from the pulpits to the gaze of the civilized world. I am sure that right here in our native State there would be found a public senti* ment irrespective of race that would frown upon "man's inhumanity to man." The author of the foregoing must certainly nave oeen laoonng unccr a delusion when he wrote the above article, or the printers were on a drunken spree when it was set up, for our imagination could hardly picture a statement with less reality than the ' condition of afiairs painted by the correspondent T. McCants Stewart. "VVe not only brand it as a false paint mg, but it the honored correspondent of the Freeman will visit the county of Fairfield we will furnish him with a conveyance and a body guard under 1 the command of Captain Joe Raines ' and let him visit the Dlantation of the (rc*r\\T a m liic? o nf 6V-1?UV,U1UU AWWIV.VI W 1M illO ttAWiVlV U?VJ see for himself that the condition of affairs is not such as was stated in his J article.

Arledge were painfully shocked to hear of his sudden death in Winnsboro aboat two weeks ago. A short notice of the sad occurrencc appeared in your paper, at the time, but some further account of this worthy and highly respected man may be of interest to many of your readers. Mr. Joe Arledge was born October 28th, 1818, in the Rocky Mount neighborhood, in this county, and has resided within a few miles of the family homestead u!i his life. His first marriage was to his cousin, Annie Arledge, the mother of his only surviving child, Mrs. Wylie Davis, of Ridgeway. In 1873 he married his second wife, Priscilla Nichols, who survives him. Besides his daughter and widow, he leaves two brothers, our highly cs teemed citizens, Dr. J. It. ana Mr. Sam I. T. Arledge, and one sister, Mrs. Nichols, and other relatives to mourn his death. It is scarcely necessary to say anything of the character and life of this noble man, for he was well known, and this is the same as saying he was favorably known. He was an up right man, fearing God and eschewing evil. Just and honorable in all his dealings with men, generous, kind and gentle as a woman, and not only possessing external excellence> bat there was heart-service in all he did for the welfare of men or the glory of God. Though he never professed Christ before men in one specific and important method, namely, by a visible union with the church, yet he was not one who practised coucealment in respect to his religions character and relations nis iiie witnessed .1 gooa coniession. I11 so many ways lie acted so undisguisedly in behalf of Christ and his cause, that his whole community thought of him as a christian. He entertained mental difficulties which prevented him from uniting with the church, but this was 110 presumption against his piety, for he never hesitated by other methods to bear an open testimony ot love to the Master. How consoling this is to those who loved him! On the morning of May 11th he came to town feeling better in health than usual, and after a brief illness he passed away, we trust, to a better world. He 110 longer sees through a glass darkly, but now clearly understands all. This affliction falls heaviest upon those immediately bereaved, but many will miss him; and Mount Zion church deserves special mention, lor the people of God there will miss the deep interest he showed in the things of God. C. G. Bradford. Winnsboro, May 28, ?885. Superstition and Yo.xlooiain. The Americas (Ga.) Recorder says: "There has fallen under our observation a queer case of superstition and voodooism. A negro w?man in the CllV nas ul'uii ?uueniig iui suiuc ixiuc with mental aberration, and a few days since she became so violent that the authorities were obliged to arrest aud imprison her. Her relatives examined her effects and claim to have fonnd ample proof that she was 'tricked.'
