The Blue Ridge ail - Road
How Not to Do it.
At.the Blue Ridge Railroad. Con
vention held in Charleston last 'week,
Judge Reed, from a co-nmittee ap
pointed to cuft-witbe.. companies
or individuals ownuio tfie Isetions of.1
the Blue Ridge Railroad within their)
respectiVe -States rported. th-.litiga
tion between theirstes of t.henort
gage and the assignees in bankruptcy
remains in stat-a quo._ But a letter!
was read from the President of the
Knoxville and Charleston Railroad, in
which it is stated that its owners,
with home aid, can complete the road
north of Maryville to the Tennessee
line when the building of that portion
south of said line is guaranteed, and
that being once at the State termiuus,
they would be willing to consolidate
under one management, under justand
equitable terms. In a loog speech,
Julge Reed declared that it was not
intended to ask Charleston to sub
scribe largely now, and it was a mis
take to throw a wet blanket over the
project as had been done. He said
that the matter had not been brought
properly to the attention of the people
of Charleston; that the South Caro
lina Railroad was not favorable to the
project, and that the Spartanburg and
Asheville Railroad had absorbed a
portion of the interest properly belong
ing to the Blue Ridge. When the
right time comes, Charleston will put
up its money. Other speeches were
made, and something like a breeze
prevailed, owing to statements in a
newspaper and in the convention from
some Charleston delegates that the
city was not ready to put a cent more
in it until there was evidence that other
communities equally interested would
do their part, and until there was as
surance that the line would be com
pletedon the other side of the moun
tains.
General Harris6n introduced the
folto*irg-resolution, which was also
adopte r
Resolved, -That a committee of two
from the States of Georgia, South
Carolina, North Carolina and Tennes
see, and three from the city of Charles
-ton, be appointed to memorialize Con
gress on. the subject of aid for a grand
freight. railway from Knoxville to
Chairleston.
The following committee As an
nounced:
South Carolina-el. W. Harrison,
B. F. Perry, WV. L. Trenholm, Geo.
W. Williams, 3. B. E. Sloan.
Georgia-A. S. Erwin, E. M. Ruck
North Caroina Dr. W. L. Love,
-Col. J.. 0. Robinson.
* Tennessee-Dr. Morrow, C. W.
Charlton.
In an editorial article, the News
and Courier affirms that Charleston
is still in favor of building the Blue
*Ridge Railroad, and will do her part
when the tiine comes; and that it is
a serious mistake to suppose that the
South CarQlina Railroad is not favor
ebTe to the Blue Ridge project.
It ~ is to us one of the things past
finding out why Charleston and the
South Carolina Railroad management
allow so much wrangling to go on with
their up-country connections, and why
they do not compose these vital inter
ests and make them-work together har
- ~ moniously and with mutual profit.
Last fall, when the directors of the
Spartanburg and Asheville Railroad
saw fit to make a change in the incumn
bent of the office of Treasurer and
Secretary, there was quite a tempest
in a teapot about it. The Spartan
burg and Asheville Road was told to
*take care of -itself; that Charleston
would have no more to do with it;
that she would seek another outlet to
the Northwest, &c., &c. Now, here
are the representatives of that "outlet"
-- (prospective) received with a cold
shoulder, if not chilled with a "wet
blanket." Anderson and Pendleton
are:about to establish wagon lines to a
point on the Air Line Road, and
drummers from Atlanta sell goods all
along the lines of our roads as low
*down as Columbia and Camden. These
are not all the evidences that an an
tagonism about freights, the shipment
of cotton, &c., is springing up between
-our extreme points, our city by the sea
and our fine, productive and enterpris
* ing up-country and Piedmont section.
- -The intelligence, business tact. eapital,
enterprise and regard for the true wel
. fare of Charleston ought to put an end
to these unseemly disputes and dis
* cords, and draw these outlying inter
ests mrore closely to her.
* There are circles within circles, we
kno)w, gnd perhaps rebates on cotton
have something to do with this strain
.ing to make it follow a fixed, defined
- line of transportation against what the
shipner considers his interest and
right. Perhaps, again, the South
Cai-olina Railroad is watching and
waiting its opportunity to purchase the
Blue Ridge Railroad in the State, and
hence these varying whims, this inter
est to-day and indifference to-morrow.
But.-we don't think railroad coquetry
will pay even in making a bargain.

A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.
The Herald is in the highest respect a Fam
ily Newspaper, devoted to - the material in
terests 01 the people of this County and the
State. It circulates extensively, and as an
Advertisin- medium offers unrivalled ad
vantages. IFor Terms, see first page.
Edgefield's Treasurer.
The flight of Edgefield's County
Treasurer has left that County in a
bad fix financially-morally and social
ly, however, the damage aone is slight.
He can be spared and with him others
of the same stripe. About $70,000
of the County tax is unaccounted for,
except $19,000, which the Advertiser
says Judge Carpenter confesses to.
This is a nice state of affairs truly.
The Advertiser takes the matter phil
osophically and consoles the defrauded
tax-payers by saying that though Me
Devitt is gone, there is some comfort
yet, for Paris Simpkins is left, and
McDevitt's dog, and the glorious
memory of McDevitt's virtues. What
more can the people want under the
circumstances ?
Spartanburg and Union Rail
Road.
The announcement made recently
that two hundred convicts from the
State Penitentiary would soon be put
to work on the rail road, is now under
stood to mean that the work alluded
to iq the continuation of the Spartan
burg and Union R-,il Road from Als
ton to Columbia, active steps for which
are now being made. The connection
we learn will be made near Strothers.
This is made necessary by the certain
accomplishment of the Spartanburg
and Asheville Rail Road, one of the
most important projects of the time
the great results of which will be seen
at no distant day. We congratulate
the people along that line, and espe
cially now the direction of the 8. &
U. R. R., and its worthy Superinten
dent, Capt. Davies. The course, too,
of the Governor and directors of the
Penitentiary is to be commended, the
benefit of which will be felt in a two
fold measure
Laurents Court.
The Berald says that Solicitor
Fleming on the opeoing of court made
a motion to overthrow the grand jury,
on the ground of its illegality. Judge
Northrop, however, ruled otherwise,
when the regular-business proceeded.
His charge to the grand jury was well
timed, able and full, special stress be
ing laid upon the crime of arson. -It
is said also that he gave the Solicitor
a sharp reprimand in open court on
his besetting sin.
The case of Messrs. G. W.. and
W. L. Shell, charged with the killing
of Crews, excited much interest. The
jury in making up their verdict of ac
quittal were out but half an hour.
The Sessions and Civil dockets were
pretty well cleared by Wednesday last.
when the Equity. business was en
tered.
The Herald adds: "Judge Nor
throp, by his apparent ability and
courtesy, has made quite a favorable
impression, so far, upon the bar and
the people. He announced in the
outset his hoors for the transaction of
the business ->f the Court, which in
deed sounded business-like, and snuffed
of adamantine and kerosene. He in
timated very clearly, if the business
on the T)ockets required it, to 'strike
a light.' His hours, he announced,
would be from 9 o'clock A. M. to 11
P. M.: from 8 to 7 o'clock P. M., and
if the' business required it, from 8 to
11 o'clock P. M., or even later, if
emergencies rendered it necessary. It
did become necessaxy, it seems, on
Wednesday, as the above programme
was tully carried during the day, and
continued at night from 8 to 101
o'clock. -This is working with a will
-'making hay' even after the sun
ceases to shine.
The Last of the Harmon MYur
derers.
We gather a few more particulars
as to the last act in that tragedy, from
the Abbeville Press and Banner.
At the first fire all fell, except Ste
phen Lake, who remained standing a
few minutes. Soon after negroes who
went tsee the bodies, reported Davis
silalive, Subsequent shots were
Ithen fired, and when the bodies were
afterwards seen, Davis' head was found
shot to pieces. Some few negroes
guarded the place on Thursday, but
left at night, being afraid to stay
longer. On the afternoon of Friday,
he decaying bodies had become very
offensie, and a pit eight feet long was
du by meroa,whn the wer buried
been allayed, and both whites and
blacks feel comfortable and relieved.
Nothing positive is known as to the
whereabouts of the two women, Betty q
Perrin and Tilda Holloway, who, t
though guilty equally with the others, (
were turned loose and told to depart. d
The report that they had been drowned
has no foundation, and there can be
no. doubt they are either secreted a
very closely near by the scene, or made ,
such extraordinary haste to get away ,
as that all-trace of them is lost. The n
friends and relatives of the dead seem
ed to have..arud very little for them, t
some of. whom never went near the s
bodies at all. -
The jury were in session an entire I
week, and labored assiduously-and ,
though they accomplished a great
deal, it is thought that if they had e
continued to sit longer their labors
would have been rewarded with still e
further discoveries, as there seems to t
be no doubt that a man by the name
of Cheathaw, and another by the name
of Chiles, were present at the murder.
It is said that Coroner Barker and his
clerk, who, at the time the firing com
menced, were engaged in preparing
additional papers, immediately fled
from the scene, and they were not par
ticular as to their mode of flight, and
Sheriff Richardson, as soon as he was
released, also spread himself and made
remarkable time.
The following comment on the s
lynching we copy from the New York
World :
The wholesale lynching in South
Carolina, though there was nothing
political in its character, had its ori
gin in some measure in p6litics. In
that negro-ridden State, the natural
consequence -of Radical misrule has
been a lax. administration of justice,
especially where colored men were
con6erned. The people at last,. tired
of dilatory or corrupt courts, insecure
jails and easily obtained pardons, and
when the Harmons, old, feeble and in
offensive folk, were* knocked on the
head and had their throats cut by a
gang of murderers, they took the
scoundrels and put them to death.
The lynching was conducted with un
usual deliberation ; the vigilantes made
no effort to disguise themselves or
avoid yesponsibility for their act, which
was done in broad day and be,fore the
whole population, which, without an
exception, approved it. Altogether,
the execution is one of the most re
markable that has been recorded on
this side of the Roc~ky Mountains. and
one that should not be classed with
the exhibitiong of mob Jaw so frequent
in the South and West.

are confident, allow personal differ

Musings from Pomaria.
MR. EDITOR :-YOu very often re
nest persons inall pirts of [he County
> send you iteinS, hence we seize the I
uill and place a few musings at your
isposal.
AGRICULTURAL. t
The farmers are busy harvesting; t
:>me complain of the rust in the I
heat, and are fearful that a half crop (
rill be the result. The oat crop is i
ot as abundant as was anticipated. E
Sery one reports good stands of cot
on and corn; and, contrary to your I
ound advice, they have planted more .<
f the former than the latter. They i
ope to get rich (and of course they
rill), even if cotton is ten cents per
ound, and they are compelled to pur- 4
hase all their provisions from foreign
narkets. When will our people be
ome wiser? (When they get down
o the last round of the ladder.-ED.)
MATRIMONIAL.
Marriages seem to be the order of
he day-ome are trying and succeed
ng, others are trying and not succeed
ng, (we for instance) to enter the
)Hssful realms of matrimony. Mr.
3. B. Schumpert lately double shuffled
)ff the coil of .single blessedness, and
inked his fortunes -with those of a
.fiss Nates from Prosperity. Joy and
iappiness to both of them, and may
)oth live to see the two hundredth anni
rersary of American Independence,
d may it be a source of much pleas
ire to them to fondle their great grand
-hildren on their knees. And,
Again, the unusual spell of quietude
)f our town (you know the town ex
,ends several miles "o'er hill and
rale") was broken by the recent
iymeneal copartnership of Mr. John
3. Swygert and Miss Mamie E.
Wicker, the transaction occurring at
he residence of the bride's father, on
rhursday, the 25th uIt., in the pres
,ce of a large concourse of people,
he seal being given by the Rev. Mr.
Eerbert. We happened (by i-nvita
ion) to be present on the joyful occa
ion, and ye blind.followers of Cupid!
We don't like to betray secrets, but
re saw something that night which
:onvinced us of the power of this
rod of Love. The eatables were all
bhat the most fastidious epicurean
ould desire. The bride and groom
ooked their prettiest-the former sur
passing by far the latter.
SLEIGHT-OF-HAND.
Our medical friend Dr. J.-A. Berly
had his hen-roost lifted to the tune of
twenty-five of his largest and finest
hickens not long since.;, he is certain
that his table has not been blessed
with them. He seemed terribly mor
tified to find in the morning most of
his Shanghais, Cocfiins, and "that
large speckled hen, too," hoisted from
their quiet perches by- some one was
quiet an expert in the sleight-of-hand
business. Se says he "can't stand
it," but we are slightly inclined to.the
opinion that he will have it to do.
Mr. T. W. Holloway reports two of
the hogs as failing to come to "taw."
They may have unconsciously strayed
into somebody else's possession. He
thinks some "nigger" has stolen them,
but that is an unjust accusation, for
the negroes in South Carolina have
stopped stealing-they just take and
say nothing more about it. Since we
are on this thought, we are satisfied
that there are some of the "cutest"
and most brazen-faced rogues in dhis
omuinity thai can be started any
where. They can steal all you own
and face you with-as much grace as
the old devil himself.
.MASONIC DEDICATION.
Madame Rumor whispers that the
Masons propose having a huge time
on the 24th inst., in dedicating the
new hall; prominent speakers have
been selected for the occasion. Whether
it is intended to rake up a picnic, bar
becue, or anything hin the eating line,
has not yet been developed.
-POLITICAL.
Stock in the Democratic club can
be bought at a slight premium. The
people in this county are beginning
to realize the pitiable condition into
which we. are plunged by Radical mis
rule, and are beginning to open their
eyes (and pockets) to the sad reality
of unjust taxation.
The Union League continues to
bold its regular meetings--at least we
would judge so from appearances. It
may be that they are training "the
young idea how to shoot" quiet and
inoffensive merchants, or educating
them in the soience of burglary, arson
and murder, as they did their late
lamepted Secretary, the hell-too-good
for Thompson.
DELINQUENTS.
A few days since and one might
have seen the officer of the law, the
eputy tax-gatherer, requesting pri
vate conversations with some colored
delinquent (of course) taxpayers.
"Mister, i'se.gwine to pay 'em as soon
is I git de money." "Bose, can't you
wait till de nex time ?" "No, sir;
oow or go to jail." So they have to
ork it over or board at the county's
xpense in Sheriff Carrington's ele
ant brick mansion.

'HE SITUATION FROM A REPUBLICAN
.STANDPOINT.
The fight between the. friends of
he rival Republican candidates is all
he more bitter, because they honestly I
ielieve that. the mat who gets the
,incinnati nomination, whoever he
nay be, will be elected beyond all per
dventure. They say that, for sixteen
rears, their party has proved itself, at
he polls, to be far stronger, numeri
ally, than the Democratic party; that
t is still. stronger ; that its nominee j
vill receive, as before, the substantial I
;upport offe banking, railroad and
)ther large interests; finally, that the
Republican party has already posses
ion of the Government, "with all that
hrase implies."
"We have," they say, "the money,
he votes, the offices, and the brains
3ecessary to put our resources to the
est use. We are bound to win. You
Democrats are fighting to obtain, for
your respective friends, only the bar
ren honor of a nomination. Hence
ou can afford to be cool, calm and
-ourteous. You are fighting among
yourselves for a shadow-we for a sub
stance. The only man with whom
you would have any show of winning
he coming fight you cannot nominate;
nd the very fact that you will not,
id cannot, nominate Samuel J. Til
len, will operate. powerfully against
e man you. do put up at St. Louis,
whoever he may. e. The fact will go
Forth to the people of the United
tates that the scoundrel element of
bhe ~Democratic party of New York
controlled the St. Louis Convention,
ind compelled it to throw overboard a
man known, far.and wide, as a Re
Former, because he had preferred the
nterests of the people to those of the
party, whenever the two came in con
iet, and had, in the strict line of his
duty, squelched corrupt men of what
ever politics. As sure as you are born,
he St. Louis Convention ' will throw
Tilden overboard, and choose some
candidate who may have more or less
laims on the party, but none on the
people at large. And it is only un
der a standard bearer whose improved
opportunities have given him a claim
upon the Independent vote, and upon
that of disaffected Republicans, that
the Democracy can hope to win. And
even then, they have bub a slim chance
of success; the resources of the Re
publican party being so large and
varied."
I give you, above, the substance of
the remarks of dozens of leading Re
publicans with whom I have conversed,
and with whom I have heard others
converse, during the past few days. I
make neither note nor comment.
DECORATION DAY AT ARLINGTON.
The formal decoration of the 16,000
graves of Union soldiers whose. re
mains repose on Arlington Heights,
opposite Washington, took place to
day (May 30th) with the usual im
pressive services. A few years ago, a
large number of persons in Washing
ton. desiring to pay a tribute of respect
to th.e few Confederate dead interred
in the cemetery, went to Arlington
for the purpose of bestrewing-their
graves with flowers; but in attempting
to 'do so, met with the most violent
opposition from the Grand Army,
whose officers ordercd the Federal
troops present to "remove all rebel
decorations." And this was actually
done, to the disgust, even, of pro
nounced Union men. Since that time
no attempt has been made by the
dead Confederates to decorate their
graves on the same day that the Grand
Army honors the Federal dead with
loyal demonstrations. It having been
announced that the friends of the
Oonfederate dead at Arlington would
this year decorate these graves on the
30th of May, one of these friends
caused a card to be inserted in the
Fvening Star, the day before, stating
that the report was incorrect, and that
the decoration referred t6~would. take
place on the 3d of June. In his card
says:
"We did entertain the hope, how
ever, that an invitation would have
been extended to the Southern Memo
rial Association of this city, on this
Centennial year, to join the Grand
Army ,that all distinctions might thus
be o literated; but such not being
their wish or purpose, (meaning the
wish arnd purpose of the political wire
pullers who control the Grand Army
f the Republic,) the friends of the
onfederate dead will Dot intrude upon
the ceremonies of to-morrow."

dENTENNIA.L .CHRISTIAN HOMES.
The great number of visitors in Philadel,~
phia, during the Centennial Exhibition, ne
cessitates the opening of private .homes for
board and lodging. Many Christian families,
who are unwilling to open their doors to a
promiscuous public, have arranged a plan by
which they give admission to Christians and
their friends. This will be equally pleasant
to Christiab people abroad who may not
wish to be associated with the great variety
of characters brought together in hotels and
public boarding-houses.
In order to have this select class the price
of board is generally much lower than pre
vails by other arrangements, varying from
$5 to $1( a week, and from $1 to $2.50 per
day. Each family fixes its own price, and
receives its pay direct from Its guest. Those
