Dawson, who prints a paper of which the South U Justly proud, struck the key-note for the success of local newsjiaP?rs in his recent address before the Press Association at Charleston. Wo intended to publish it entire last week, but misplaced our copy oft he paper containing it. We find the following synopsis in the Marion Star, and reproduced It below: Capt. Dawson, of the JV'etc* and 0>u.rier nd IGressed the Association at lengtn, upon tne | progress of Journalism and the necessity of local papers paying more attention to local mutters. He Raid the telegraphic and mail facilities now brought tliejgreat metropolitan papers Into successful competition with local papers, and the only way In which the latter could hope to compete with the former, was by devoting more attention to local matter*, In which field the metropolitan press could uot compete with them. He also alluded to the necessity for having an Iniiopendent press. Tills, he said, could only be securod by the patronage which would make newspapers independent of their advertising patronage.* It was the interest of the people of the Slate tc support the newspapors, even If they did not agree with their sentimonts, provided those sentiments were honest and Without Eclaut.?Last Thursday five of the penitentiary couvicU?four black and one Wh.te?were tied together and marched off to the stockade of the Urecn wood and Augusta Railroad. Thin was an unusual proceeding with convicts in this county, as heretofore they have gone off on the cars in the presence of large numbers of their race who had assembled to bid tbem adieu. The monuerof curry- ' tag off the last batch was quite disgusting to their friends and relatives, ;u> being too prosy And mattcr-of-fact, and will noiloubt luive a good effect In rcatralnlngevil-doers. The convicts from their long confinement in the Jnil wero unable to reach the stockade on foot, before becoming completely exhausted. The guards in charge had to stop them on the way nnd rend for a wagon to haul them to their , destination. The next day when put to work II Elsy Chiles fainted rrom exnausuon, ana 11; I wan thought atone time he would surrender , | hla controoton the railroad, but he box reI covered, and Is now at work.

As : certainly as they attempt grand larceny they i will be caught. A negro cun do very well on i [ petit laroeny, but the race, at grand larceny, are a "dead failure." i Augusta and Grkknroad.?The Augwtta ' CftronicU a>ul Sentinel says thut the directors of the Augusta, Knoxvil'e and Greenville1' Kallroad met In Augusta ou Wednesday and . awarded the contract for grading the road: from Augusta to Walton's Island, and build-. ing a bridge over the Augusta ( anal, to Wm. , D. Grant, of Atlanta. The work Ik to be com- j, menced within thirty days, and to be ooni? pleted by the first of April next. Capt, Grunt.: j aays he will probably begin during the iiext j fifteen days. It will be seen from this that! 1 the rood Is an assured fact. The Greenwood j; people will have their part of the line llnlsh- i! cd to the river by the time that this end is completed, so that everything will be In read-! iness to lay the Iron, and we may therefore expect to see trains running between Augusta and Greenwood before the expiration of two , years from the present time.

The causes , through which these results have been pro- . duced, heretofore so fully referred to. need " hardly now be dwelt upon. The continued ' existence is a matter of general acceptance. ^ and their damaging character matter of thor- f ough appreciation. The hoard did entertain the hoj>c when wc last met that we haW reach- 1. ed the culmination of our troubles, and. at ? last, that downward movements had reached " their full limits, and these anticipations did , not seem uimtasonuhle In view of the fresh- J=, ened hopes and quickened activities eonfl- r; dently looked for ns legitimate results of a 5 new political birth which, after years of {' grinding oppression, left us free to deal with , our own; that they have not been realized is , cause, of course, of regret, and to none of more regret than your board, whose vigilance J' and etlort In every direction have been excr- M clsed to accomplish more profitable exhibits; *' but, comparatively, there is no sufficient J: muse of discouragement. Wo have not lost. 14 uny portion of our net Income. In that par- * ticular, within our knowledgo, wc arc the ex- v ceptlonal company. It Is true that formidable competition is to y bo expected. Recent acts of incorporation ^ point to the probability of additional roads, n In full view of the fact that theold and estab- i, llshed companies barely sustain themselves ^ ytnd pay no dividends upon their shares, and d In full conflict with the old ideas which deter- ^ mined the direction of railroad lines connect- ?

The board cheerfully acknowledges the ? prompt and Intelligent response of this de- ,j |)Hrtment to the policy imposed upon it by Lbe necessities of the company. It 1ms met *nd seconded the board's views in the direc- w tion of the mo*t rigid economy everywhere ei in the most satisfactory spirit and with the d most highly satisfactory results. Those rc? c' lults, In another place, we have already ad- cl verted to, in placing before you the business <1 >f the ycur. tc By these means we have been enabled to rr >vcrcomc a heavy loss of gross business and b maintain your net income fully up to the U preceding year?a result we have character- ti izcd as and believe to be exceptional.

In their last report, the board advised you , that "with a view to the protection oi the company's business at Important points, and 8 with a further view to procure for the Green- ? ville and Columbia Railroad protection, for all g time, from a connection with enterprises v looking to the establishment of close direct , communication with the West and Northwest, they commenced negotiations early in the year for the control of the Blue Kldge a Railroad through Its first mortgage bonds." L Theae negotiations have been carried to a sat- \ IsfUetory extent, and proceedings are now In j progress for a full and complete title to the \ I?"i '} r The purchase has been made almost entire- j ly witn the bonds of the company, which in c the Treasurer's statement will heaven amount t to SliSt.-WO. t For the present, perhaps, beyond the pro- l teelion of our business, no important returns t can be cxpeeted front this property, though that of itself would Justify itsFacritiisltion. , Butrwe greatly mistuke the future if it has r.ot in more for the Blue Kidge ltallroad a 1 value that will, In comparison, sink Into in- 1 siguiflcanco its coct to ns. THK FINANCES. 1 The balance sheet of the Treasurer nnd ex- < planatory paper*, through which the flnan- 1 clal condition of the company may be seen is also before you. Your most serious attention , Is asked to that condition. I our last report . we adverted to the lance floating debt or the . company. Annually it has been found more troublesome to deal with, for our reduccd ( earnings, whilst it took from us our ability to pay, only intensified the pressure for payment, and we have been compelled to post- j pone our bond Interest until some permanent : arrangement can be made for a more satisfactory and convenient condition. When the present administration received the Green ( ville find Columbia Railroad Its financial and Its physical condition were both so bad, as you were then informed, as almost to deter them from the attempt to carry the property through difficulties which seemed almost Insurmountable. It watt undertaken, however, and during the two following years, with good fortune, industry and economy, wo hud so far increased tho earnings as to fully Justify the hope and expectation that we could successfully accomplish our work. We had hardly, however, attained a position of comparative strength, when proceedings were instituted in bankruptcy by a combina' on In part of those who had preceded us in the control of the road to wrest it from us. The particular character of this proceeding has been heretofore fully explainod to you. From the present peril then Impending over us, we wore relieved by the generous Interposition, through endorsement, of the South Carolina Kallroad, but onl vat the cost to us of an addition to our floating obligations of 8333,000, and an annual addition to the charges aeainst our net earnings of about 840,000; and this is the chief, if not the only, cause of trouble to us now. Your bond debt Is not lurge; it may be carried with comparative ease; but your floating debt, represented in your Treasurer's statement, under the head of "bills payable," as S5t>5,000, must bo arranged. The reduccd earnings of the road furnish no means, and the peception of thut fact, as we have already suited, only increases the de? mands of parties. Through the holders of /Mir hnnrU t.hp m^nnK rrmv h?H of witlsfv Ing those demands, and we do not anticipate a refusal on the part of our bondholders to co-operate with us In any reasonable schemp of debt adjustment, when the result is no less advantageous to them thun to us, Whut the precise terms of the scheme are cannot be predetermined. It must be theconcluslon of a conference between the parties, and that conference will be had immediately after your adjournment. Respectfully submitted, W. J. Maokath, President. The report of Supcrlntendant Thos. Dodamcad wus then read, giving a detailed statement of the business of the road for the past year. Owing to itspreat length, we are compelled to omit its publication. A resolution was adopted thatthe reports be received as information and referred to the President and Board of Directors, with plenary powers to act upon the same. Mr. F. F. Gary here stated that arrangement* had beon mad? with the South Carolina Railroad to issue round trip tickets to Charleston during the present week to stock . holders of the Oreonvlile and Columbia Railroad for one fare, good to return any time next wnsk, and that those who desired could obtain the same at tho Company h ottlcc In Ibis city.

I THE TITLE TO THE FKESIDENC'Y. The Testimony of McLi>. McLin confesses In full and says: As a ncmber of the late State board of canvassers )f the State of Florida, I feel impelled by a ;e.iseof duty to myself and Justice toothers, o make the following statement: At the time he canvass was made I was not at any time :onsclous of acting otherwise than ritfhtand >roper. I entered upou the canvass with the onvictlon that It was my prlvllogo and duty, n a political sense, to Rive tho benetlt of cvry doubt In fuvor of the Republican party. felt that when a question could ho decided Itiier way wlthuirfdolne violence to a public enseof Justice, it was fairly allowable fn poltics that I should always lean to my own parv, and give my decision in its favor even at lie hazard of straining a point. At no time did I feel that I occupied the poltlon of a Judge, charged with the duty of a 8 trlct and nice weighing and balancing of all 0 heevidcnce presented. Looking back now g o tiiat time 1 feel that there was a combina- e ion of influence that must have operated ) nost powerfully In hlltidiug my Judgment u tid swaying my action. I had been for j nany years, and was at the time of the can- a ass, a very active partisan. I sincerely ^ bought that our State and the natiou would r ufTer irreparable Injury if the democratic 8 arty wore to obtain the presidency, and the t ollcy of hatred to the negro, aud those who ] md been the friend of the negro should ob- r tilti control at Washington. It was the comnon and unanimous talk also that the very r xlstence of the men, who in the South, had c ipheld the republican parly was dependent c ipon the election of Mr. Hayes. Mr. Huyes c fcould sustain them throughout the South, ? I'hlle Mr. Tilden would crush them. I was ^ hown numerous telegrams addressod to Gov- j ruor Steam en and others from the trusted 1 eaders of the Republican party in the North, s nsisting tnat the 6alvutiou of the country c epended upon the vote of Forida being cast r :>r Hayes. Those telegrams came from those f li whoiii x i]Hii utyii iictiiHiomcu 10 aeicr, me c halrrnan of the Natioual Committee and tlie t nan who was the 'EAREST PERSONAJ. FRIEND OF MR. HAYES t ad conducted the canvass. These telegrams 1 Iso gave assumnce of the forthcoming of J loney and troops if necessary in securing the * ictory for Mr. Hayes. Following these tele- 8 rams, trusted Northern Republicans, partly J ;aders and personal friends of Mr. Hayes, ar- " Ived in Florida as rapidly as the railroads ? ould bring them. I was surrounded by these 1 icn who were aruont Republicans, and espe- r ially by friends of Governor Hayes; ono r entleman particularly, Governor Noyes, of F >hio, was understood to represent him, and J peak with tbc authority of a warm personal 1 :iend, commissioned with power to act in 8 Is behalf. These men referred to the general ? cstructlon of the country should Mr. Tlldcn 1 e elocted, the Intense anxiety of the Rcpub- 11 can party of the North, and their full symathy with us. I cannot say how far my nc- c Ion may have been influenced by the intense xcltement that prevailed around me, or how ^ ir my partisan zeal mav have lead me into ? rror; neither can I say how far my course c as influenced by the J PROMISE MADE BY NO YES, ,, bat if Mr. Ilayes became president I should e c rewarded. Certainly those influences t lust have had a strong control over my d idgment and action. Reviewing at this dls- li inceof time with all calmness, with my ar- fi or cooled and my partisan zeal chilled by 1 tie President who has basely betrayed and t lercllessly destroyed the Republican party e f tbc South and crushed the very men who c Id so much for his election. I am persuaded t io KlorliliL canvass was not conducted with n mtcool, calmjudgmont and honest,unbiased n eclslon that should have characterised a pro- a sedlng involving such vast and Important n itefest.1. Instead of this I now ,'sec that tne I hole proceeding went through upon the Ighest wave of political excitement; that artisan feeling, stimulated to the utmost by ^ ic most powerful agencies, usurped the lace of reason and sound Judgment, and potical expediency rulod the hour. A large a timber or products were either contested by t le Democratic or Republican party, VOLUMINOUS TESTIMONY ^ as filed, and the lawyers of both sides argued ' ich for their side of the issue tiiat It was the r nty of the board to throw out and not In- i luUein the count.or retain and count pre* s nU on the ground of Illegality In tho eon- " net of the election or fraud that wsis charged r >*xl*t. The attorney general of the SStnte, a fj icinber of the board, had decided that tho ' r>ard had quasi Judicial flvwer, and the right i, > exclude precincts'fronifhecount if the reirns wero shown, to be so Irregular, false or , audulent as to prevent the board from aseerilnlng from them the true vote. With this " lew tne board entered upon the work of the invass. wttli tht conviction that they W?re I ivcsLed with I arte discretionary powers of _ lixed characters, political and judicial. Parcan itcul in id strong pollticiilltics had a pow- i, rfUl influence In the exernipc of these pow- j? rs, unc! the Republicans having a majority of I le board, the canvass was largely In their fa- J or, hk the result proved, it the board had J] i-tcd in accordance with the decision of the " .ipretne court of the State, detlnlni; tiie pow- ^ sand duties of the board in reference to c irowim;out precincts, sincc rendered, there {j i no question of the fact, that Mr. Tilden ;ou!d iiave been entitled to the vote of Floria.

There has not . leen a time within the pant three months . vhen, if 1 had been convinced that crushl .g , iroof oi" tho fact that Tilden curried the Htate ] rould turn Hayes out and give Tllden his . Ights, I would not have gladly furnished such . >roof. I told Uncle Hen (Gen. I'utlcr) what I ; :oulddo,and while he thinks Hayes should ] >e turned out, he thought It best to wait un- : 11 some action had been taken by Congress . n the matter. I talked with Senator Hamlin ibout It, also. The President had the facts IN RESEItVE AM, THE TIME. . Jfoyes and the rest of them told him. I met 1 ilm frequently, and he always treated me 1 ?... ? t ? . ? 1* <-1 Itrwl I.AAI. i,*\A niimit ruIV MHUIJ, PH VHIJ, IIV IIUU WV4I V'?\? OWWMl inc. Ho gave ine notes to the department*, ' uklng that I be given a place. I wanted to be in auditor, and I declined three places, holdngouc only a few weeks. I OPPOSED HAYES because he Is a traitor to the party that put Dim in. and tic treated my rarty badly. As "oakling says, If the country only knew Hayes as well as Congress does, lie would be Jesplscdonull sides. No.ves knew of every movement that wan made In Florida, and Hayes knew it through him. I know this to l>e true and am sliow it when the time comes. WHY MCLIN CONFESSED. McLin expected big things when Hayes was fairly seated. He therefor? went on at once and asked for a good ofllce. Hayes at once asked him if he would accept a position on the supreme bench In New Mexico. McLln acquiesced, and his commission was made out. Anxious to get rid of his embarrassing presence, the president hurried him off to his post before he was confirmed by the senate. Armed with his commission, he went to New Mexico, and actually held a court. He took his family with him. He had hardly been there two months when his name wasbrought teforc the senate for confirmation. Conover, of Florida,opposed him and he was defeated. He thereupon returned to Washington. Finding him a very dangerous customer, Conover went with him to the president, and agreed "for the good of the party" to sink his personal Xf/.T In If l.o o'nlllH nominate him ogam. The president (so McLln says) agreed to make him chief Justice of New Mexico. Satisfied with this, McLin went back to his hotel to wait. lie Anally saw lu the papers that one McCandiess had been nominated for that place. McLin was very much disgusted, of course, but applied to Hayes for an explanation. Hayes tre?ited hlin very coolly, anil told liim he wns satisfled that if ho had nominated him he would have been again defeated. McLin then applied Tor pay for the time he had served, and for the expenses of himself an<l family to and from New Mexico. This was dented him, although he was then In an advanced stage of consumption and very nearly dead, lie wns therefore out of pockct money about a thousand dollars for expenses, spumed by the senate, deserted by the president, and broken down in health. Just then his daughter, a favorite child, died In New Mexico and was buried there. In a few days he was summoned to Thomasville, Ga? where his son had Just been killed with u base hall bat. He reached that point almost dead with grief, remorse and consumption, being asked by an agent of either the Tlldenitles or anil-Hayes men. to do so made a confession of the whole case. This confession wasmnde on thc23rd of March In Thomasville, and signed in the presence of Charles W. Glover, J. P. It was not full enough anil degnlte enough, and another was made during April. McLin is now on the i brink of the grave. He is now down with suffering and disease ami cannot apparently live more than two orthree months. WHY DENNIS CONFESSED. Dennis claimed to have been promised quite as much as McLin was. Ho therefore went to Washington determined to apply for the position of auditor of the treasury. This, it appear?, was denied him?a denial for which the whole country Is indebted to Mr. Hayes. An attempt was made to molify Tennis with minor officers, lie was offered a place in one of the n|>artments. He took It and held it only a few weeks. He was Immediately tendered another and better place. He held this a few days and resigned again. He then demanded the place lie wanted. Senator 8argeant, who acted for him, went to the prcsi| dent and stated that he was In Florida during the campaign and knew of the obligat ion the administration was under to Dennis. Hesuggested that he had best be rewarded as he wished The president sent him word to co hack to Florida, and promised that a commission would follow'TiIm promptly. Dennis did so, havlnc first confided the whole story of the frauds toOen. Butler, whom he affectionately called "Uncle Ren," and who Is his patron saint. I)Don reachintr Florida lie found 'that he hnd been appointed u revenue agent, vrjtb duties In Ohio, and a snlnry of$s per day. Disgusted with this "trifling" on the purtor the president, as he calls it, lie deter?Jued to get revenged. Moving ?fcuiivs.t the Homesteads.
