Fifty-eighth congress will exfiite

..?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.

Charleston'8 Dispensary Profits.
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.

THE CRIME OF A PARDONED NEGRO. 1
<
Greenwood, Dec. 3.?Early
yesterday morning several frame (
buildings back of a row of brick .
stores on the northeast of the pub- (
lie squaro were destroyed byQfire. ,
The tire was the work of one
Robert Smith, a negro, who was j
only a few days ago pardoned of!
the chaingang by Gov. 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.

AWAY WITH THE LIEN LAW. fl
111
St. Matthews, Dec. 2.?The to,
crops aro all gathered and the cot- njc
ton nearly all sold, and the jjC
mournful part is that there be |r(
many who hare not paid their
financial obligations in full and
veiy little money is in reserve for ^0!
current expenses for another ytar.
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

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

more rigidly, thus perhaps prorenting
such crimes.
