TUB COLUMMA CANAL. The Abbeville Medium, whose editor was a member of the last Legislature, and who now* declines a re-election, thus discusses upon the future : "It is highly important that the -?. hVttvevor,~ are not thoso who can be led about by the nose by any monied incorporation that has a job to get through the Legislature. Tncy arc not a crowd of jog-trot, thicK-skullcd, small-brained, mediocre men like the last legislature, which, under the lead of a few fancy statesmen, squandered the people's money without reason or justification. Kucli law-making as they afflicted the State with not only disgusts bui Impoverishes a people. It will be years before the .State recovers from the folly of sending such an ignorant crowd to Columbia. W e need men of independent thought and sound judgment who will not he deterred from faithfully carrying out the wishes of the people by the cry of 'demagogue," which the milksops and hnotlicks of the day will be sure to raise against them. We don't want men who will run wild on infernal improvement* and bleed the people to death with high and unnecessary taxes for visionary schemes of unknown impracticable?. The people have taxes cuougU to pay for the legitimate expenses of the government and they need men who will watch their pockets against any further inroads of men who live upon intrigue and shrcwdlies*. PEMOCRA TIC J)ESER TERS. The Abbeville l're*s and Runner reads a lesson to that class of Democrats who strain at a gnat and swallow a camel. Scratching tickets don't suit the ideas of our respected coteniporarv, and it should not of any other true man when the interests of the country is at stake. The and Banner says : Wc have frcouentlv i*ecn nan*rrni>hs in the newspapers from persons claiming to be such simon-pure Democrats that they had never voted for Horace Groely^ Greene or any other Republican wnom a majority of the Democrats of the country hud taken to make what is ironically called a "mongrel ticket." Everylxxly knows these Radicals were put on the tickets with the best Dem-, ocrats in the party in the hope that \vc might bo enabled to gain at least sonic control of the Government, but ex^icncncc proved the folly of the plan,. Inasmuch as so many of these pure Dcmocecvfe* foiled to join their brcthron in. tiro struggle. We have no"sympathy with the Democrat who refused to vote with his pajty?whether tljc party was righb or nofc?ami wc think any real Democrat is tntitle<l very little credit for aiding in our ow*? ikicat In 4870-72-74. A deserter deserves 110 laurels?no matter upon what pretext he may (le.icrt?and ho only proclaim* his awn want of true patriotism when lie says that lie refuted to his party in redeeming the State, because he did not like |he leaders which his party had chosen for the work. I I II. - .1 . Gen. liutler Interviewed- 1 \ JJ7m< Senator Hutlev Ha* to Say About ( Col. Cash's Jjctter?National and State I\>fitici?The Outlook for the ? Democracy. i t rcou. OK NKWS AND COURIKH-1 c e\ i ?? VOLUMBIA, i\UgUS( 4$.?XiaVlUg j occasion to visit Edgefield your Kcportcr called upon Senator Butler with a copy of Col. Cash's letter a? it uppouted in the National Jxepntdicmi, . and inquired if Ho had anything fur-: ther to say about it, The Senator had not seen the note t to the X'ostmustcr at Washington, and ( when he hud read it, smiled and re- : marked that he hud never objected to . the publication of the letter; on the contrary, was quite willing that it \ should be published* Col, Cash was , entitled tu have his say, and now : that he had delivered himself he hoped he would be in a happier frame of mind. *But," said the Senator, "jusi how it could injure the Democratic party I cannot see, and therefore cannot understand why any paper should have refused to publish the letter on that account. If Col. Cash finds the Radical party more congenial?appeal ing from his note to have fallen out with the Democratic party?it entirely proper for him to seek comfort in its ranks. 8uch a consummation appears to he in accordance with e;cviutl 'fitness ot tho things. Reporter : Ilavo you anything to say, General in reply to the charges which Col. Cash bring against you ? Gen. Buti.ku: No, except to say that they arc purely imaginary. Not a word of truth in any of them. Of course, I do not say whether his charge, that-1 am a coward, is true or not. It is never safe to pass judgmcnt on any mans courage. I have seen some people terribly disappointed in that regard, and Col. Cash muy find it so in this ease, but we cannot always tell. Have yon ever had any moneyed transaction with him? What docs ho mean by "the privilege of inserting your hands in his pocket"," &c.k Ac, Gi:n. Ik: Why it means that the man is crazy or something worse,? I never had a moneyed transaction, ' or endeavored to have one with him in my life nor any other business transaction. >So he has drawn entirely uu ?yi ;ius statement.? Nor did I ever "pitcously apply" to him about the "lottery," as he calls it. My own and (Jen. Gary's connection with that business has been explained again and again, and was about the same us that of Gens. Beauregard and Early with the Louisiana lottery.? The difference is, that theirs has been a success, ours was a stupendous failure. Our attempting such an enterprise, under the circumstance was a piece of ineffable stupidity, but I had no occasion to apply pitcously to Col. Cash or anybody else about it, and therefore., his statement in regard to it'is : without foundation Ln fact. Like every man who makes such a mistake I felt disgusted with myself about it, but I am not in the habit of complaining of sympathy being withheld as Col. Cash does In my ciuo. Hkp.; lie says that you had recently been branded in public as a liar, ' and only sought redress by returning the offensive epithet.'* Did such an occurrence ever take place? Gen. B.: Never. There is not a word of truth in it. And I have only this to say as to that. If Col. Cash will produce one respectable man who - - il . * -? * " win say mat sucn a tning Happened, 11 I do not prove that he lies I will make 1 him the mast abject apology for any grievance, real or imaginary, that was ever made to man. And if he docs not do so, where will he be ? Oh, no, 1 I have no objection to the publication t>f the letter. Very hard things have , been said about me before, and i have survived them and trust I will survive thV*, There are so mo things that I j might say about the publication of ray j fetter, luvt ? shall not do so now; uor , shall I indulge ui recriminations with , Col. (Josh, or throw mud at him; hut ] leave him to his own conscience, which > I hope will cause him ta fool ashamed | of his letter. He was not in the j "fetters of the law" when my letter j j was written, to wj knowledge, and | | they do not appear to chafe much j I now. I have nothing to retract of my , letter, but cannot sec why Col. Cosh i .should feel sjtecially aggrieved, as no \ more mention is made of him than f [others connected with the duel, unless r ' the "cap fits him" better than others, y Tor which I urn not toblame. I only t expressed my opinion about a public t transactions in which a numlxr of t \persons were engaged. Why, have I f not the right to do that? | Rki\: Turning to another raatter) I General, I believe you have lately re- n turned from the l'ee-Ih?e coui^ry. <j I 11 liivo you any objection to giving me rotir opinion of the extent of the InIcpcndcnt movement in Marlboro* bounty ? Gkn. 15.: None whatever. The 'Independent Ticket," as it is called, , s a mixed ticket, ami has upon it but ] wo (/owl nvon, The others, as 1 learn- ( d, arc cither Radicals, or men without ( nflucncc; but the two just referred to , lave been gaud Democrats, and are , lisnppointed in not receiving a noiui- , lation for office. Hut 1 hope these, it least, will realize the false position n which they have placed themselves, mil withdraw. I was invited to Henleltsvillc by the local coininittcc, and lever saw a liner crowd of men or a nore orderly, earnest political vuoetng, and was assured that our speeches vould have a irood effect. 1 luiva no loubt tlie "Independent ticket" will >e beaten. Mr. John S. Richardson lud Col. J. G. lllue made very cfleotive, telling speeches, and Col, J. P. Thomas eloscd with cute of liis happiest efforts. Altogether L was never more pleased with a visit. The conntry is one of the finest in the South, and 1 never dreamed of its productiveness until 1 saw the crops with mv own eyes, Rei?: Are the people improving and progressing in wealth and prosperity ? (leu. 11; Wonderfully. They are the best and most progressive farmers in the State, and arc as hospitable and kind as5 any j>eoplc 1 have ever met. This was my first visit to Marlboro', and I received nothing but kindness on all hands, i only wish the other parts of the State were as far along as those people. Politically tliey are not altogether happy ; but, as I have said, I believe the "Independent move will be beaten, for it is nothing more than a Radical movement in disguise, and the people will find that out in time to defeat it. I may say further that the leading Democrats informed me privately that the regular Democratic ticket would be elected; that they would he better satisfied if these two moo woiilil nome off the "fnde pendent ticket" on their own account. Kkp: Arc there any new development* in the National campaign that you do not object to speuk of? CIkn. 11: I have not been out of the State since my return from Cincinnati, but the newspapers, which, of course, you read, bring the most encouraging accounts of Hancock's prospects, and uiy private letters are of the same tenor. A gentleman .in PhilmlobJp" turn ougni To Know whereof no speaks, writes me that he has no doubt that Hancock will carry Pennsylvania, and assigns good reasons for his belief. I should not he at all surprised if he is right in his anticipations. Of course he can be elected without Pennsylvania, but that State wouid make his election doubly sure. Indiana, Connecticut, New Jersey, and New York, 1 think, arc reasonably certain for Hancock, which with the electoral vote of the South, will elect him by a handsome majority. Kkp: Are you going to take tlie stump during the canvass ? Gkn. B: Not if 1 can projicrly avoid it. I have no likinir for stum*) sneak ing and want to stay at home. My purpose was to go to the mountains, hut I have about nl>au<loucd that. I may have to take j>art in our .Stnte canvass, for I do not believe we will carry tlio Statu without a struggle, and feel c|iiite sure that tho Radicals will make a desperate effort to carry ()'('miner's and Richardson's Districts and |>erh:v|?> Tillman's?and we shall require all our forces. Kt:r : The crops in your section appear to he good. CJkn. 11. Yes, they are very fine. Our people gathered a fine out crop and if we can have five or six years more of "good Democratic government vvc will have recovered largely our formerly pros{>erity. Marlon's Mysterious Murder, Marion, August 13.?Sufficient information was obtained lust night to justify the arrest of Uiohard and Lewis Tames as aocompliocs with their brother Beu James in the murder of Mr. I). M. Harrcll. No direct or circumstantial proof was brought out to-day >efore the coroner'* inquest, although t is believed that all three pbuuiod itid carried out the murder. It will >o at least another week before the nqucst will lie concluded, as the in r estimation is thorough and exliaustivc t licing determined to s'lfl the aflhir to ,hc bottom and ascertain the motive or tins crime, whioh yet remains a nystery. The officers of the law arc dgilant in theii efforts to ferret out :vcry possible clue that may lead to jonviction of proper pnrties. The !vidence against lien James, the one irst arrested, leaves no doubt as to lis guilt. It is believes I that one of lis brothers will turn State's evidence md reveal the secrets ljiis mysterit sis murder. 1 11 ' 11 ' Supreme Court Decision, Homestead. fonder vs. fAinraxier, The defcudant, as sheriff of Harnsvcll County, levied upon a horse be* longing to the plaintiff under an execution issued upon a judgment recovered against him. Subsequently to the levy the plaintiff married and then claimed to have become the head of a family and thereby ontitled to a right of homestead, and demanded of the defendant, as sheriff, the horse so levied upon as exempt from execution. The defendant refusing to recognize such right of exemption, the present action was commenced, ohioh resulted in the Circuit Court in a judgment of ron suit. The question presented by tho appeal is, whether the fact that the plaintiff became the head of a family and entitled to a homestead right as such, add to the exemption of personal property incident thereto, i\ tl,A II? a- -11 ? illUT I lie 'U' IIUM lO UllC^U si ml clniiu sLi^V^Mption sis ugainst personal property actually levied upon prior to the acquisition of such right of exemption. The Supreme Court decides that the plaintiff by the acquisition of the general light of homestead, obtained 110 right as against the lieu taken by the exception previously levied, and was accordingly projnjrly nonsuited. Appeal dismissed. Opinion hv Willard C. J. The Chief Justiceship.
