CONGRESS LEAVES S WOOD IN THE AIR. EXTRA SESSION WILL RUN INTO THE REGULAR SESSION. And Crura'? Job Vanishes ?Large Number of Army Officers <Vill Lose Their Promotions', as a Result. Washington, Doc. 5.?By . the manner of adjourning tlio Louse today the extra session of the Fifty-eighth congress will exfiite by constitutional limitation Mon? flu \f ft' Knn L/v ? ' 1 1 ..?J , uvu iiiu U'^llllir SOSBIOU Will begin. This eliminates the possibility of u recess between the two sessions and opportunity for the piosident to renew his civil and militniy recess appointments. Such appointments as have not been confirmed by the senate during the extra session must be re oewed simply in the form of nominations, which in effect are but recommendations and do not fie-1 come effective in any case until! confirmed by the senate. In effect, this action will demote Gen. Wood from his present rpnk of major general to which the senate has not confirmed him,1 to I i.hb iHuk of brigadier t?eneiraL which ho held prior to Aug. 8 last. It also will dciuoto, in like manner, 1G7 army officers who were promoted respectively to fill vacancies caused by the pro. motion of Gen. Wood. The important civil appointments include William D. Crum a# collector of customs at Charleston, S. C.; Charles F. McClelland as a member of the board of general appraisers of merchandise at New York and T. V. McAllister of Vickshurg, Miss., as receiver of public money8, all of whom are serving under recess appointments, the effect being to vacate their present positions. As Collector Crum's recess appointment has thus been terminated and the situation in the senate I has been such that bin p.nnfirm?t-ir?n is dispaired of, the collectorsbip of the port of Charleston will remain vacant until the next session of congress, unless the president selects some one else for this place aud the nomination is confirmed by the senate.

The stato board of dispensary directors has beon considering the question of restoring Charleston's profits and has reached a conclusion that seems equitable enough. It is to tbo effect that the profits will be withheld until they amount lo a sum sufficient to meet ail the expenses that may arise out of the proceedings of tho Gorman tiger, Wieters, against the disponsary constables, and then, if tho city will employ four special raiding policemen to holp in the enforce* Dient of the law, the city's entire share of the profits will be restored.

Heyward. It was stated that Smith wan almost dead of consumption, but he seems to hare had vitality enough to commit a crime that may semi 1 him to the gallows. The negro was sent up for assault and battery. Ho had a fight with hi? paramour, Nan Hawthorne, in which he cut the Hawthoro woman severely with a knife. This woman had a negro restaurant intone of the buildings burned and the I Smith negro 6ot fire to her resI taurant building becauso bho would | not let him in tho house. The ! woman heard him under the houce striking matchos. Smith ran oil when she came out, and the fire was soon discovered. A NEGRO FARMER MURDERED.

He loft, hmnu L1 * UVU1V JL MDOUIlJf Ul^Ul lO VlBlt tt neighbor, and search being made, he was discovered nearly nnle from home with his body robbed ,pf money obtained the day before for a bulo of cotton. Ho was a reliable, thrifty, industrious ne- 1 gro, owned a farm and comforta- ' ble home and was worth several 1 thousand dollars. Some negroes ' in the neighborhood are under suspicion. ( i HUNTER ACCIDENTALLY KILLED. Spartanburg, Dec. 3.?John Godlrey, a young white man, was accidentally shot while out hunting by a white man named Greer 1 today, and as a result tho wound- 1 ed man died at 10 o'clock to- 1 night. J -i ? - ? vjrocirrey and Greer were two of a party of four who went hunting ' inuthe woods on Capt. Deane's 1 farm, three miles from tlie city. By some accidental means the 1 breech-loading gun of Greer was ' discharged, the entire load, un ' ounce of Mo. 8 shot, faking effect in the left knee of Godfrey.

G. T.

This year has fully demonstrated tho folly and unwisdom of the #jj "Lien law." It has long been patent to many that tho lion law (jU was a curse to tho agricultural and au financial interests of tho entire State, and it is to bo sincerely de- ln| sired that tho coming session of ftg the legislature will abolish the rniccuiovous alitV ??. ? ni: TWO SUSTKCTS HELD FOR TRIAL. Brunson, Dec. 4.?For the robbery of the Bank of Brunson six suspects have boon arrested so iu; far, but only two, Ed. Barker ua aud Mike Brady, have been bound over for court; the other four, 1 having proved an alibi, were rs^ ea leased. It is sincerely hoped that jj( the porpetrators of this crimo will M bo speedily brought to justico. wi The two now held for trial wore iround Brunson for several days ^ preceding the robbery, which fact thep admit,and yet give no plausi- Cu ble reason for being hero. It F. would be wise for the town coun- * :il to enforce the vdirriinr?v la ? . ?e J more rigidly, thus perhaps prorenting such crimes.
