J L8 Press and Banner. By Hugh "Wilson. . .. ,i ? . ?- - Wednesday, March 12, 1884.' ii ? imiii.iiiwiwiiiiK^ National Premium on Illiteracy. Ordinarily premiums arc offered in our schools t<> such scholars as make commendable progress in their studies, but it seems that our politicians, when they assemble around the National crib iu Washington, propose to chatigo the oU "well established order of things, by giving a bounty for iliit>:mn/?n premium v> the biggest dunce in seh >ol?the proposition being to divide a Urgcsnm of moilrv among the States, on tho basis of ihe illiteracy of the citizens of those States. If this is not something new under the ?un, it i* certainly a reversal of former customs, and its absurdity is only equaled by the spirit of commnni-m which would take from the self-denying, thrifty and industrious citizens of a community enough money to educate the children of indolent and thriftless citizens who have not enough pride and manhood to take Af OWn ll/UKollrvllly This is a free country in which evorv tnan has a lair chance at the beginning, ?ntl no theorizing has ever convinced us tif the equity of taking money from those who work, to educate tlie children of a class of peoplo who are too lazy to work, or if they work, choose to spend their money in other ways than for the benefits of their families. The division of this national fund whereby South Carolina would annually draw a premium of a million dollars on the illiteracy of her eiti!con?, involves political questions of greater import than he mere financial question, but these political questions, tlie politicians in their wisdom and love for the negro, may amwer in a way whi.-h best suits themselves, Wo do not seriously object to the distribution of a million of dollars in this State, and shall be vcrj' williug to pardon any Congressman who may vote for the measure, but we think the highest stntcsniHnship would forbid his doing so. Without considering the result of the work of education which it is propos ?d this fund sli >uld Sgfaftv-- further, we would suggest that the white people of the .state would lie benefitted by , the distribution of that large amount amongst us. Our people would likely gather up some of that money, and it may be that thi? fact will prevent NorthBgS> 3 *'rn Congressinen from voting lor this extraordinary expenditure. Among other reasons we object to this appropriation, because of the statements of the Southern gentlemen before the Congressional Committees. Taking the t'ostimony of these gentlemen as a whole. ?2 ^4.1 it might be inferred that Southerners regard the education of the negro, as second in importance only to the salvation of their own souls. Speaking for our solves, we u<> not ueneve me suojcci 01 educating the "esteemed"' negro lias ever * cost any Southerner an hour's sleep. It j>1 ices the Southern people in a false light to suppose that the chief aim and oud of our life is to educate the negro. %Ve have in fact, come to regard him as a lull grown citizen, possessing all the privileges and rights to earn money Nvhieh arc guaranteed to us, and in our poverty we have enough to do in attending to our own business. The negro ?-an look after his own children. He is lully able to do so, and we think it is a presumptuous intermeddling with his jift'airs when we undertake to educate his children. Wo are glad to see that Governor Thompson recognizes the fact that there sue a few citizens in the Stato who hold views dillcrinj; from his own. If he will come to Abbeville, nnd go on horseback Kwmh.L AMnntv I/viiil/1 II/it in si V"M"V "v - * - week tind a dozen tax-pavers who would not be delighted to be relieved of the school tax already imposed upon them. The number who think this tax an cutrage on justice wc think might be legion. The Killing cf Richards. We give much of our space this week to facts aud comments on the killing of town marshal of Cheraw by W. H. Cash, which seems to have been one ot the most cold-bloo.lcd murders which has ?vor occurred within the borders of this ?tate. Our brethren of the press have Already commented on this affair so freely, and it seems to us, so justly, thatj nothing remains to be said by us. Wc Jiave heard but one sentiment expressed j by our people, aiid we can only join the, universal dtmand that Cash may be eap?j jj- tured and brought to trial, and that the Jiu \ llliljr IIUl UC (lililiu IA? uw lUVll %? u\/?v , duty iu the matter. If cold blooded as-! Hassins are brought to tiio bar of justice j nud made to euller the penalties lorj their acts, we will have fewer murders.! Let the law be enforced against the greatest bully lor shooting down even thei ]iumblest of our citizens. Democratic | rule is a cheat and a fraud if arrogant1 and presumptuous men ean shoot their j liumblo neighbors, as they may do the j beasts of the held, without molestation' atnd without punishment. Justice de-j mauds that \\\ JJ. Cash shall be brought j to the bar of justice, and there answer for his deed of blood. Of course no body expects that Cash' will sulfer tho extreme penalty of the! law, or that he will ever underixo any! great punishment at all. We believe that! no instance has been recorded in thisj State where any member of one of the j *_nrsi lamuics uavo suuoreu 101- khmii^ a poor, unhonored and unsung neighbor. This great storm of indignation which is now raging against Cash will recede. As soon as the body of the dead man is comfortably fixed in his grave, and the vision of blood is removed from our eyes n reaction will take place and Cash will then bo considered a persecuted man. We will then bo called upon to sympathise with the living, and the fact of the present indignation will be cited as a wrong which has been done to the accused. The hearts of the jury will be softened, while the wealth of the prisoner and the precision of his shot may combine and contribute to overawe and blind the sense and blunt the conscience of the timid juror. Rut though the jury may relieve Cash and exonerate him, yet the Governor should discharge his whole duty in the matter. The slayer should be brought into Court, where the jury may certify to h'is innocence. "The Old Ticket." We are unable to understand why some of our brethren talk of nominating "the old ticket"?Tilden and Henrieks. For our own part we want a real good ticket, one which will create some enthusiasm among the people, North and South. Nobody wants to bet his money on old, hroken-down.horses that have been badly beaten in former races, nor do they care to vote for men who have allowed themnolvas to be cheated out of the ollices to which they were elected. For these reasons, we propose the names of George Washington and Andrew Jackson. In ' case these men do not suit, then we propose to gettvo Crst-class Egyptian mummies. We do not want any of your old fossils. The hard times has compelled us to do considerable "dunning" this winter, and manv of our subscribers have naid up. while others have manifested their anxiety to relieve us in other ways. For instance : ono debtor begged that we credit his account with any amount which wo contemplated in spending for postage on his accoun'. Another subsriber who was iu arrears, said that he would not take our paper out of the post oilice any longer, but would take the Medium from this time on. As we had sent ours a long tirno without money he was too good a friend to take it longer on a credit. Bank or J/Min Association ? From the following item in tho last week's Keouce Courier we would in ft r that the proprietors of that paper are contemplating the establishment of a bank or loan association atWaiballa: "While we are aware of the hnr<! tiwfs end scarcity of money, still w?? ivpeall our arrenr MaiMcrinvt's will<-all on n.< dur;V intf Court a? l pay a pail, ii' not all, of ST* ihcir arrears." . -J~- i L. Accommodation Trains. | President Haskell has kindly consent-J eil to run two trains daily from here to' Hodges and back. This chango was in response to petition of citizens for double trains three times a week, and we trust that the compnny may lose nothing by his kind consideration of our people in giving them even more than they nsked, Abbeville has always remembered Mr. Haskell with pride and good will, ami his recent act has only proved that he is true and ever mindful of old friends. ; Since the train made but 0110 trip a uuv jviiiiu ui uur Jfliirtffl nave lost custom, "which now goes elsewhere. I It^wonld seem to us that if extra trains were run to Ninety-Six every Sale Pay and for tho first throe days of each Court that the Railroad would lose nothing while accommodating a largo number of citizen*. If the price of return tickets from Ninety-Six, (Jrccnwood, Hod gas and Donalds cou'd be reduced to a lower figure, everybody would cotno to tho village by the accommodation trains, if they were run, but as it is, the crooked rend makes tho distance much further by ran 11inii in inu ^ ii^ui runu. r?i iroiri Donalds the distance by rail is over 20 miles?by wagon road 16 utiles; by rail froin Greenwood 21 miles?by wagon road 11; from Ninety-Six, by rail 30 miles?by wagon road 21 miles. If accommodation tickets could be sold From Ninety-Six for Si 00 " ( reenwood " 75 " Hodges " r?0 " Donalds " 75 \ and the trains run regularly on Sale Days in the Winter, aud some days of the Court there is no doubt in our mind that tho running of the trains would be profitable to the r<?ad. Once, everybody came to the village from those points by rail. Oircasionly, extra trains are run j now, but no notice is ever given; the first intimation of the fact being the appearance of the train at the different sta- \ lions. j " 1 " Fine Map Drawings and Excellent Composition. We have boon shown some excellent specimens of map drawing t>v the scholars of the Ninety-Six High School, which are creditable alike to teachers and pupils. In the art of drawing maps of South America and North America, we do not see what else Masters Thomas Anderson, A. G. Miller and j J. N. Johnson havo to learn. They i seem to do that work to perfection. As a specimen of good compositions, by the1 j scholars of tiiat school, we copy the following by one of the yonng ladies. It! was written in a faultless hand, and its! composition would rcllect credit on any-| body: | ''Examinations.?The mere mention i [ of nil examination sends a thrill of ter-! i ror through many of us, but if we would | I consider the importance of reviewing j j what wc have studied I think we would ! bo more iceonconeilcd to stand the ordeal j iof an examination.

Fnrthrr Detnils of tho Murder mid j What Followed?Is One of the Counties of South Carolina at ttie Mercy of a Kt-cklebs aud Irresponsible Outluw T I I From the Witdctbnro, .V. C., Intelligencer, I Mmch 1.1 Last week we gave the particular* of a fluht between Hoiran Cash, tho outlaw, and Mr. \\\ I H. H. Richards, marshal of Churn w, which I had its origin in the at'emplof the mar-hal lorn-rest t'asli for drunkenness and disorderly e induct on the hi rcetsof Chora w, Saturday night, February lCih. \Vlun we bnr ?*>?(|iic<l th" combat In our |a?t is<ue we little thought the aft'.vir would terminate in so deplorable a manner, for we deemed Cash a man ol emirH-ie. and could not. believe he would take any undue advantage ol a man who>c only offence was the faithful discharge of his duty a'id the possession ol courage superior to his own. We believed Cash, were he disposed to pursue tho matter turtber. would face Ills adversary as lieeomusa brave man, first warning him: j nn<l in Ibis event wo had no fear of Marshal Kiehurd'ii ability to defend hiinse'f. The .-e?iuel, however, shows that Mo.-an l'a?h is not only a vrr-iooivss rcprobato, a bully, a bulldozer ol timid pe.'ip.e, n villain, u cruel, brutai , wretch, but that, hu is withal a consummate coward. On Saturday last ho wont to Choravv, submitted and paid Ills tine?forty dollars. The marshal, b?-imr just, as well as hrave, was satistled, declined to prosecute Ca>h. and ex pressed himselfas willing to let the matter drop. And so It did drop. Cash remained In town several hours, attending to certain buslncss matters, and appeared unusually quiet and clicViinspect, lie passed the mar-hull several times during the day. tint made no i hostile demonstration, and this treachery I led tiie marshal to believe that he had noili-i in? to apprehend. Atmut 4 o'clock In the I atl'-riiDoii he w cm standing on a corner. lean-{ I lug up against a tree sunning himself and I con versing with a friend, and thinking, per; Imp", less of ltogan Cash than of anybody else In the world, vvhiie he thus Ktood with his hack to the sidewalk, ('ash walked up un1)coded If not unobserved. When h-* had passed sonic three or lour steps, li<* suddenly wheeled aad eoiiirnesced diehar.:iiiga Xo. ."S Smith & Wesson pistol. 'J lie first shot missed, the marshal two feet, and struck Mr. James Coward in one side, penetrating his body to) the other side, within a short distance or the; surface, where it was cut out by the surgeon, j When the marshal heard the explosion of j the pistol he turned to sec what was the matter, and as he turned Cash tired again. The) second shot struck the marshal in the breast, pierced one lung and lodged In the legion of. the spine. In ahbutthe position that (iiiitean's ball tound a lodgment In the body of (fartic?d. | ! A third time ('ash tired and missed again, the j ball gra/.lng the marshal's clothing and buryj ing itself in a tree. I j Then there appeared ascene well cnleulated ] j to besmear the reputation for coinage which the fashes have acquired among timid pco-| pie, and to establish the fact that I he younger j I Cash, at least, is a craven-hearted, black-! hearted, sneaking coward, even if l:ls mlsera-1 |bleshooting were not sufficient to prove that! ' he was scared out of ills wits when he fired at i the brave inan whom lie feared to fece. At' | the third shot Cash ran with all his might] for one block?ran as becomes a coward, with ' [ tils back to the fi>e. When he had run about a hundred yards, he turned, and seeing that : lie was not pursued, bravely retreated back-! wards, brandishing ills pistol and calling for! his boy to bring his horse, which the boy ! failed to do. lie retreated backwards?very j brave Indeed, as there was no one following1 him?to where the animal was standing. He | leaped upon his horse and galloped away at full speed homeward. When tiie up-traln reached Cash's Depot, Cash the younger, was standing on the plat-! form, armed with a Winchester rltb?, and putting on a great many airs. The old man Cash was aiso with him, but quiet. He pre-l tended to be defying everyb'Kly. but when it ik rcmemoercti uiai ineirnui nu<i n-n iwMutton before the shooting occurred, and that the people :it Dove's and Society Hill, If they li:id heard of the shooting, had no lime to prepare themselves, nslde from having no authority ' to arrest him, even If they hud the incltna-i tlon to do so. | When the train reached Cash's Depot no-> body on board had heard of the shooting, and they did not hep.r of It until the train reached Cheraw. Cash had calculated on this. He knew that no attempt would be made to ar-, rest him, and his valllant strutting up and, down the depot platform was nothing more! than the meaningless bravado of a coward.' Cowards arc always brave when they know there Is no danger. Why Is It he has not shown hltnsell around the depot since the evening in question ? Why is he not so brave and defiant now as he was then ? Immediately after the shooting, and before Cash had got half way home. J. T. McNatr, J">q., the mayor, volunteered to be one of a party who should pursue Cash nndarrcsthlin. Others quickly volunteered, and the assassin might have been caught, but when they asked Deputy sherift Wells to lead them he nut only refused, but actually got down on his knees and prayed them not to do anylhlng so rcsh. Without a leader and without authority the citizens cured not to act. but preferred watting till the sheriff should execute tho l iW. It was confidently believed that the sherlfF would do his duty, and It was time and again asserted, ' When Kpoflbrd comes we'll have him,'' but when Spoflord came und went out to arrest Cash it would appear that, unlike C?>ar, he simply went, was seen und was conquered. Arriving at Cash's residence, accompanied by only one man?King Timmons, one of ( urkin'K mils und a henchman of Cash?he was cordially met nt the door by tho Colonel, who extended his hand, Invited liiin in, nnd expressed himself as overjoyed to see Sheriff Spotl'ord. Tlmmons remained on his horse at the front gate, hut tl.e Colonel waved him to dismount, insisting that he should enter and partuke of his hospitality. He did so, of coarse, for how could a gentleman of King Tlnitnoiis's calibre be so rude as to refuse so agreeable nn invitation from so delightful an old gentleman as Col. Cash? 1 On the Inside the sheriffand Tlmmons fared well. The noble old feudal lord setouta docanter, anil with his own royal hands prepared a toddy lor his guests. After Imbibing, smacking their lips and putting their stoin-, uehs in ecstncy. they sat down to discuss the; passing events of the period. The Colonel i led the conversation, and by a masterly Hank movement quickly came to the topic nearest his heart?the heroic action of his Min In Cheraw the day beiore. He spoke at length upon the subject, declaring himself well pleased with the deed, but expressing sincere regret that Iloganshould havedone such poor shooting. Said he: "I Just ought to have been there; and, by the way, If Richards don't die. lie had betterdie; It lie gets well 1 shall kill illm myself." Col. Cash then courteously Informed the sheriff that he could notsce Bogan. but intimated that Tinimons could see him if lie so desired. All that passed is not known, but 1. in known that the sheriff returned to Cheraw without making the arrest, and that he refuses to render any sort of an explanation for his non performance of duty. 1 nil* nil1 inuiiiT rmN. i 1111s u win rest; tor courage has tied to the bushes and Justice Is a > corpse in Chesterfield County. We will not too readllv censure Sherlll Spoflord. Perhaps lie may know what lie Is doit)*-, but we; venture to say were liogan L'a*h a |>oor man, | he would now be In Jail. A wonderful Immunity indeed does wealth give. It" its possessor1 may murder poor men at will and then defy | the law. We hear that Col. t.'ush is one of spofTord's bondsmen. We do not know if this is true, but if It is true It. may explain the! myMery of brave spod'ord's non-performance ot duty. f;>r he Is known to be a courageous! man, who has never before shrank from duty : or quailed in the ftce of danger. We go so iar as to say, however, that Cash' will not be arrested. Alter a while he will! name the terms of his surrender, will he allowed ball ami will go unwhipp>-d of Justice.> if he ever has a trial it will be but a shame-1 less, brazen-faced mockery. He will he tic-; quitted with honor, and will be (ur ed loose i like a mad bull uuon the community, to mur-: der other unoffending men unawares, and to make widows and orphans at his brutal i pleasure. We have always denounced the Northern: outcry, "Lawlessness in the South," as a! shame, an imposition, a wrong; but we arei at last, forced to admit, that It Is not altogether j a bugbear in some parts of the South.at least, i ami In Chesterfield County, South Carolina, especially. In that county a man who has! lived In open defiance of the law for years i?t! allowed to enter the principal town in broad i open daylight, walk up behind the chicf of I police and shoot him down like a dot;, while a private citizen falls plcrced through and! through by a random Hhot. In his life lit lie passes three sworn policemen, who make 110] effort to arrest. When a few brave, law-abld-, ing citizens desire to pursue and capture the rtss-iK-tn, the deputy sheriff refuses to lend them, falls upon his knees and beseeches them ; to do nothing so rash. Tito sheriff' of the county, with a warrant In his pocket, goes to the house where the fugitive is secretcd, but.i instead of arresting the outliiw, drinks with i the outlaw's father, who commends the crime,; and, coming away, refuses to speak upon thej subject. This is the state of affairs In Chesterfield; County, and it is a blackening, damning i shame upon the county whose proud boast Is its chivalry. Tiie truth of the matter Is that honest, peaceable, law-observing men are in a minority In that county. There Is a predominating | clement, naturally lawless in spirit, whose (loklrc Ik lo live uiireK*rlr?n>.l ntwl ?/* ?.? ' erned only by the bent i?r its own IiicHiiu-I tions. 'I'llin element Is proud of ihe Cashes, and prefers to be subject to their imperial! will rather than t? recognize the majesty ofl the law ami to sec that the law Is enforced. i Were this not true the CaRheseould not behave us they ilo. nnd the lust outrage would j not lie permitted to pass without an effort j beinu made to brlnir the guilty to Justice. Two thirds of the peop e In Chesterfield i [County are In sympathy with the Cashes,! iKvery hair hour, day and nlglH, a runner i | posts fiom Cheraw to their rendezvous to In-1 I form them of what.

Those who would execute Justice are si-1 I lenccd, If not Intimidated, and while it Is Intimated that there Is a deep rooted deter-' | mluallon among the pood people of that outraged community not to let the crime go un- j punished, yet wo fear their numbers are too limited for them to do anything. thirsting for moke ooke. Cash, we hear from good authority, swears to have the blood of the editor of the Intellil/owrr. He is welcome to It, but if he comes to \Vadesboro* after It, we shall always feel in future that our existence in this world has I not been passed without thejiiccompllshment I 1 rtf Knnu> ffnfwl. I I A STAIN UPON THE STATE. Some Comments of Hie Press on Cash's Crime. Shall Ruffianism, or the Law, Rule; in South Carolina ? [jVeu>? and Courier.] I There Is little room to doubt the substantial accuracy of the description of the condition ; Chesterfield county. South Carolina, given by the I\'ruie*boro'(X. C.) JrUelliflrncirr and pub-; llshed jn the A'cu<s and Courier yesterday. This is a painful admission to make, but the j whole truth ought to be known. The information we have received from different quar-1 ters convinces us that Choraw, the principal town ill the county, is held in complete subjection by the two Cashes, lather and sou.' Col. E. B. C. Cash has thicatencd to burn down the town if any demonstration be made against his son. \V. 11. Cash, and has notified, it Is said, the Intendnnt of the town that he, will kill mm "lllmriii ior kivimk iiiuciai in- | formation concerning the murder which his son committed. Cash Is promptly Informed I of t-very step taken by the amliorlties, whether In ('hesterfl?*ld or Columbia. No poRse can be obtained In Cheraw toexecuie the SlierIll's warrant for the arrest of W. H. Cash.' The Sheriff Is, or pretends to be. seriously unwell and Is absent irom his post. col. Cash. b<- It understood, is one of the Sheriff's bondsmen. The Chief Stale Constable who was sent to Cheraw, by the Governor, on Tuesday, to enforce the arrest of W. B. Cash whs unable to accomplish his mission. Meanwhile, \V. B. Cash, a red-handed murderer, is at larve, and the elder Cash boldly announces that Els son shall only be arrested at bis own time and i his own way. There is but on? bright spot In the whole v ^ dark business. Governor Thompson, real-j < Izlng fully Ills responsibilities, will exert hls:\ authority and power to the utmost to secure; I the arrest of W. B. Cash. As hooii us be was; J advised of the death of Utah's victim hcor-ji dered the Sheriir of tlie county to have Cash arrested.

He ' In probably In the swamps near his resilience,! depending for safety ou thesymputhy of some 1 and the fours of others, and guided In Ills ' movements by Information supplied by spies 1 who have access, It seems, to the tlrst sources < of official knowlede. There is an unmlKtuka- 1 ble Issue, therefore, between the Cashes, la- ' tlier ami son, and the people of the state. The law Is on trial. Justice Is dotted. The officers of the law are mocked at, or arc In culluslon with the criminals. It inust b" deteri iiimed now and here, once ami forever. whether the law or the shot-nun is supreme in South Carolina; whether the law will punish malefactors or make heroes of ttieni; ' whether the citizens must take the !uw Into their own hanils and protect and tlefeml , themselves In their own way, or ran rely on the executive and judicial nlHcersof the .State : lor the arrest, detention, trial and conviction ol' Insolent and boastful nssisslns and theli apologists and defenders. Governor Thump* , son, we are confident, realizes the gravity ol ] the situation. Ills is the power. Ills is tite duty. The people of the Slate hope mid helleve that the inun and ihc hour li.ive met, , The statement Is made that the warrant for the arrest of \V. H. Cash can only he executed ' hy the sheriff of Chesterfield county or one ol , hlsdepullcs. A deputy hus l?;'on appointed. , Will he he any more vigilant or bold than his pilneipnl? it is true that the Governor has , no power to remove the delinquent, but there ] is surely some way to supersede a sheriff who wantonly leaves a whole county at the merer , ol a blare of ruffians and tlieii followers. If|. not, the county of Chesterfield ran be placed [, under martial law. in the last resort. Under i the state law. the Governor e in c:ill forth the| , 11111 i Ma. "of any <>r all thecounties of ilic State j "to enforec the faithful execution ot' the laws" ( whenever, "h.v icason of unlawtul obstrr.rI "tlons," It .shall become impracticable, in his Judgment, to enforce ttic laws of thesttatc by the ordinary course of Judicial proceed I iirs. ( The Governor is authorized, also, to suspend J the writ of hrtbvax corpus when the public j| safety shall require ii. There Is ample scope i and verge In all this; but extreme measures, j we trust, will not be necessary. If \V. B. Cash i Is In the State he can bearrested, There Is no j need of icward. or the oiler of reward, Gov- i ernor Thompson cm have jvs many volun- , teers civil and military, as he desires, and i they will hunt down the murderer wherever < he Is?hunt nlin down, not. for vengeance, but j for the vindication of outraged public justice i and for the protection of their families from i ruftlaulsm and assassination. I One word more. Col. E. B. C. Cash threats j ens to kill the Inteudnnt of C hertiw and to j burn down the town in a certain contingency, j | A8 regards the murder committed by his son, i \V. It. Cash, he Is certainly an accessory aficr i the fact. Is this no otl'ense? Why Ik he not I < arrested? Isltlawtnl to make such threats!] as he makes, and to behave as he behaves? j The public welfare demands that Col. Cash as 11 well as W. B. Cash be arrested. It Is sickening to read that he is parleyed with and con-' i ferred with ar though he were u sovereign 11 power, when he is merely a coarse and com- i moil criminal. Col. E. II. C. ('ash is as utility I in morals as liis son. It Isan lmperatlveduty j < toarrest and try him. And there should lie' no delay. The people are xrowinu Impatient, I < They look to the Governor to assert and de-t< fen<J the majesty c?f the law, and they will I ttusUiin him, tn so doing, to the lust extrem- ' Ity. (From the Simrtanburff Ilcrnld.) Cash Is a fugitive from Justice. Every eflort should be inside to apprehend htm, and when caught, let h 1 in have a fair trial, and there Is little doubt of his hanging. The people ?f South Carolina have had enough of such tlagrant violations of law. (From the Rock Hill Herald) \fe cannot understand the proceeding#of the Nheriirand other authorities or Chesterfield In the case of Cash. They may have been morally certain that he would come forward and deliver himself for trial, but they had no fight to regard that at all. The law Is ! no respecter of jwrsons, and its officers should regard all criminals as being exactly 011 the' same plane and entitled to exactly the same' treatment The authorities of GT.otprlield' county had no right to wait until it nulled; young Cash's convenience or accordeU with his Judgment to surrender himself. It was j their business loarre.st and hold hlmatalli hazards, and to protect him If there was dan-1 per of his being dealt with by other processes than tho regular ones ol the law. From the Greenville News, Cth iiixt. Col. E. B. C. Cash and his son have been unfortunate enough to be before the public on j several occasions, and the Alew* while not en-! dorslng their words or deeds, has demanded fair play for them. Itut It Is now time to demand lair play for the Slnlc and her laws. ] W. H. Ca?h has shot t wo men and one of thein ; Is dead. Whatever the circumstances of the ; shooting may have been, the State is entitled 1 to the custody of his person until there has]' (>e*.-n a judicial in vesication 01 jus aet, wmcn | on the face of it is certainly murder. \Vlint-;! ever means are necessary for the fulfillment i' of that right ought to be used, and If they are j not ui-ed the officers of the State are derelict.' in their duty and violate their oaths of office. Every citizen of the State Is interested In this; matter and has the right to demand that all i. the machinery of the law he put In motion to , capture this man and subject him to the us- j. nal process. If every man and every cent In the Slate are necessary to secure the inearce- , ration of \V. 11. Cash and Ills aiders and abet- . tors, If he has any. in Chesterfield Jail until ( their cases are acted on by competent tribu- , nals, they should be used promptly. When , any man becomes so powerful or desperate j, that he can defy the law or violate II with lm- . punlty, the safety of society Is gone. f/Vom the Hujfulo, X 1"., AVitw.] i The people of South Carolina owell tothelr 1 good name to bring to justice (.'ash, Ihe young ' scoundrel who murdered In cold blood twoj! men In Cheraw last wck.

He Is ubout tlfiy-thrcc irn of aye, and entered the Royal Kneers as a second lieutenant in 185'i In 18-VI gained great distinction In the Crimea. lmiO; when HtUe over thirty years of age, Went to China, where, placed in command rftaveloy, he broke the neck of the great splug rebellion, and achieved o position of Host unrivalled Influence. On the 1Kb of y, ISM, lie bad completely suppressed that mldable movement, and In December ol > same year he was gazetted a C. 13. (Coininder ot the Hath), having been previously de captain in 18>9. major III 1802, and iicu,ant colonel In Februaiy, 1801. Speaking ol i career in China, "Never," said tlie IHmcs, d suldier o/ fortune deport himself wliha :er scnsii of military honor; with more laiury ngilnsi the resisting, and with re mercy towards the vanquished; with ire disinterested neglect of opportunities of rsoiJUl HiiwmuiKi;, ui vrnit niuiciiiuicutLlon to the objects and desires of his own \eminent." in 1*74 he was appointed by ibar I'asha (now prime minister or Egypt) vernor-General of the Soudan?a province ial In size to one-third of Europe?with ;object of suppressing the slave trade, and ablishlng communications throughout it vast region. His management of the ulrs of tiie Soudnn was n marvel of admlnrative ability, and his name became at ire a terror to evil-docis and object of reverse among the wild tribes of the country. 1S79 he resigned this position, and returned England. Ail article ill the Edinburgh Jtew of lswi, entiled Col. Gordon in Central i lea," based on a book which been had publied about liliu, said: "He ICol. Gordon: a man, In short, ol a rare nature: he beved both in God and In himself, and in it belief tills hook shows that he has been le to accomplish deeds which few other men ni.d even have thought of attempting." Uthe close of the Chinese campaign the iperor of China made him a mandarin of n ry high order, decorated him with a yeliow keti.nda, peacock's fealln r-of which lie ide fun?and was entitled to a reward ot WWO, which he positively refused to accept, vlieu the cotton famine prevailed In l,andure, In order to contribute something to ; relief fund, he took a large gold medal ilch he had received In China, scratched i the inscription, and scut It anonymously Canon Miller. 'lie conspicuous trait In General Gordon's trader is his implicit belief 111 God to uch the Kdinburyh Review refers. It is a ill reminding us of that of George Muller. s lellance under all clreumsta ces In the udaii was uppnrcntly not on his troops or y human assistance, but he went forward o the most formidable dangers, with the :a that God would see him through, ath he seemed to court. Personal ambln or objects he seemed to have none. The iry Is told of him, when he was taken priser In Abysinln, and brought before King till, that that monarch received Ills captive ting on his throne, or whatever piece of niture did duty for that exalted seat, a ulr being tilaccd for the prlsoi.cr consldcra/ lower than the seat on which the klne Till, fll'vl thill.r II., .11.1 ii.?. it chair, placed it alongside that of his ijesty. aud Hit down on it; the next thine iiilorin lilm that he met him as unequal d Would only treat with him as such. This uewhat disconcerted his s?ble Majesty, ton recovering himself tie said, "Do you ow, Gordon 1'nshn, that I could kill you the spot It' 1 liked?" "1 nm perfectly well arc or It, your Majesty," said the Pasha, 10 so at once, If It Is royal pleasure. Iam idy." This dssconccrted the king hi ill jre, and hp exclaimed, "What, ready to be ilt'd!" "Certalnly.".replled the PhkIih; "I i always ready to die, and so fur from fear? your putting me to death, you would if?-r tt favor on me by so doing, for you mid be doing for me that which I tun pre jded by my rellu'lotis scruples from doing 1 myself?you would relieve me from all the iubk'8 and misfortunes which the future ly have in store for me." This completely iggered King John, who gasped out in desir, ' Then my power has no terror lor you?" one whatever," was the l'asha's laconic ref. His Majesty was confounded. Why should I fear?" he asks. "Is man >re strong than God?" "I go up to the udau alone, with a Infinite Almighty God direct and guide me, and am giad to ho i?t Him us to tear nothing, und, lnuced, to 1 sure of success." Vrltlng to his brother of the diftlcult tasl: disbanding 11,000 untrusworthy Turks and d Hashi-Uazonks, and replacing them by Iter men. lie asks: Who that had not the Almighty with him aid do that? I have the Almighty with i, and 1 will do It. Consider thectfeetot rsh measures among an essentially Mo mmcdan population carried out brusquely a Nazarene? measures which touch the ckct of every one. Who that had not the mighty villi him would dare to do that? rill do It, tor i value my lite as naught, and uld only leave much weariness for perfect nee. No man never had a harder task than unaided have before me; but it sits as a itlier on me. As Solomon asked, I ask wlsiii to govern this great people; und not ly will He give melt, but all else besides, id why? because I value not the 'all Deles.' 1 am quite as averse to slavery, and eu more so, than most people.

I. c., I trust God will pull me rough every dilliculty." i his reminds us of JIavclock, and of our 11 .stonewall Jackson. \gain he writes lioine: My anxiety Is not for my life, for Idled a I'M sgo to all tics In this world, and to all commi ts, honors, and glories, but for my eep In lJiirioiir and elsewhere. * * * God s given you tie* and anchors Io this earth ; u nave wives and families. 1, thank God, ve none of them, and am free. * * 1 eak the ncck of slave-raids, even it it cost . my life. * * * Wouid my heart he uken ll 1 should he ousted from this comundV Should 1 regret the eternal camelling, the heat, the misery 1 am forced to tne.-s. llic discomforts of everything around y domestic llle?

No one," lie says nt another time, "has ytlilng to make hint re.illy weary, If his urt Ik in tune with God will he has heal 111." it It is his inulffeience to the opinion to the jrld that strikes us again bv the side of his Lh. "II it be Gou's will, why will you keep ring for what tlie world says? "Try, on f to be 110 longer u slave to It. You ran ve Utile Idea of the comfort of freedom >in It?it is bliss.

"The newspaper have Id too much already," was ills answer to ose who Irlcd to Induce him 'o speak in bile.
