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

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- ;

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

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

JOSEPH. i\ AJiLEDGJC.
Jlessrs. Editors; The many friends
of Mr. Joseph F. 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.

Superstition and Yo.xlooiain.

topics, the accurracy of its definition, the
maps and illustrations, the convenient form

Peoples Cyclopaedia is unique as a work
for ready reference. The valuable maps,
tables and other appendices render it a
work of highest value, &c."

not the least doubt that, considering the
price, it is the most valuable work, exclusive
of the Bible, in print"
Thousands of testimonials might be
