"Redmond the Outlaw." Some Facts of Interest-His Capture-ConE dent of Vindication. News and Courier. ASHEVILLE. April 28.-Louis R. Redmond, well known as Redmond the Outlaw, who some years ago op erated for a short while in Pickens County, in northwestern South Caro lina, and while there completely thwarted every effort on the part of the United States Revenue authorities to capture him, has at last been taken in Swain County, North Carolina, and now-lies in Asheville jail awaiting his trial. Charged-. with repeated crimes against the laws of North Carolina, South Carolina and the United States, he has boldly pursued_ his course, aid while in Swain County was in the habit of attending courts, elections. church meetings and all other popu lar assemblies in whose deliberations he felt any interest. No one dared molest him, and a threat once made to do so came near costing the au thor his life. For- two years he has gone in and out among these people, and was on friendly terms with most of them, .when, early in this month the forces of the Governi-ent, aided by some partes who* had conceived for him a personal dislike, succeeded in sur . prising-_hi at his own home, and after wounding him seven times, seized the lion in hi den. Rediond is only 26 years of age, a man of medium height, slender fig ure, bright blue eyes, dark h'air, and open countenance. His bearing is that of a man "wore sinned against tban sinning." Courteous and even kind,iu his manner, he, nevertheless, impresses one as a man with whom it were well to keep on good terms. His intense sufferings do not prevent man= ifestations of a fondness for society scarcely to be expected in one whose areer has indicated equal indifference to what the public may think and to what its laws may command. As -far ..as his wounds permit, he .is quite communicative. He says he has a wife and three' small children ; that he married a Miss Adeline Ladd, of Piekens County in this State; that she is-.an independent sort of woman and. although in very feeble health will, during his absence from home, be able to take care of herself agid childern. But 'for her state of health, he thinks, he would pot have -been taken. He comfort: himself, however, with the thought -that his captors, whom he alludes ti. as "the boys," will realize neithei fme nor profit from their adventure . ad- that all 'charges against himsell willmeet with a triumphant refu?a tion. The many publications regarding himself he declares libelous and fals< throutghout, and is confident that at impartial ~investigation will vindicate is ceharacter from the many asper siona by .those who would make the world believe him a monster of ro m anie 'ickedness.

What the public has already re cevd a ee.hruhthe medium investigating committee on appropria. jtions of the last [louse of Represen tatives. The subject was- then tho roughly overhauled and the appro priations committee unaniaously re prted that* there existed at least a gi-eat waste of public money and a violation'~of the spirit if not the lettex of the law. The report'of this com mittee was howled down in the House and, in fact, all over the country. It was denounced as a Democratic scheme for the manufacture of party capita] tt the expense of the mail service ol the United States. Even the news papers now employed in making waR on Brady and the great fraud were -then engaged in denunciations of the Democratic party and what was term ed Sam Randallism. A Republican muember of that committee says there is nothing new in the reported cases --they we:-e all laid before them and hey were all so reported to the ly turn the whole matter over to the courts, where part of it is already. The department of justice will sift it to the bottom, and several proseca. tions may be confidently looked foi before long. A Losing Joke.

The momentous question in South Carolina up to 1876 was, how shall the Democrats secure control of the State government ? In 1878 and 1880 it was, how shall the Demo crats retain control ? The question of 'to'day, and it is the most mo mentous that we have to deal with, is, How shall the Democrats retain control of the State government, and at'the same time secure a free ballot and a fair count ? A free ballot and a fair count are necessi ties imposed upon every Democrat ic government. No government can long exist without these. With out these we would soon degene rate into anarchy, confusion and revolution. Without these Repub lican government is a farce and a delusion. A people that relies upon fraud or violence for carrying elec tions is destined to speedy demor alization and ruin. And it is equal ly true that a government controlled by an ignorant, irresponsible and corrupt majority is intolerable. We must face these questions and solve them. How ? Several plans are proposed. One is that the Demo cratic party, consisting of nearly all the whites of the State, shall secure a sufficient number of recruits from the blacks to give them a majority by allowing the blacks representa tion in offices. For instance, where a County is entitled to three Repre sentatives give one of the places to a black man, and give him other offices wherever he is capable of filling them. It is thought by some that this course will break down the race issue and obviate all trouble. Bute there are many diSiculties in tha.way, and these will be constant ly recurring at every election. Mr. Edward McCrady, Jr., Member of the House from Charleston, says that the solution of this question is in raising the standard of citizen ship and imposing qualifications upon .voters. We have read with great pleasure his pamphlet recent,~ ly published, and entitled "The Necessity of Raising the Standard of Citizenship, and the Right of the General Assembly of South Cai-oli na to Impose Qualifications upon Electers." The election laws of the State have been a subject of study to Mr. McCrady for years. The pamphlet he has just published treats the subject very fully and ably. He insists upon an educa tional qutalifcation is the only safe ty against. the e rils that threaten us. He argues that the Legisla tur-e has a right to regulate suffrage in this way. The plan he proposes is that the Legislature shall pro vidle, as directed by the Constitu tian, for the "registration of all elec tors"; that in making this provisien each elector should be required to write his own name upon the regis ter as a prerequisite to the right of voting. He says that this would be perfectly in accord with that provision of the Constitution which says, "in all elections by the peo ple, the electors shall vote by bal lot"; that "voting by ballot means secret voting by a piece of paper, upon which the name of the person voted for is written or printed: and that in order that it shall be a secret vote, the person casting it should be able to write the name of the person for whom he votes, or at least be able to read it himself." There were two bills before the General Assembly at its last ses sion providing for the- registra tion of voters. Under a joint reso lution these bills, together with all other measures looking to a change od~2ification of the election laws, and to the reir- andfha cation of voters, were referred to a joint committee of the twvo houses, whose duty it is to sit daring the recess and to report to the next session. The committee consists of Senators WV. H. Perry, of Green ville, G. B. Lartigue, of Aiken, and J. C. Maxwell, of Abbeville, and Representatives E. B. Murray, of I A ,~~A'enn Rdw~u-d M4~Cradv.. ir~ done in regard to our election laws, and tht by the present General As sembly." What that something is we shall not un(1ertake to say. It is a very difficult and perplexing question ; but we hope that the wisdom of our legislators way find a way out of the difficulties, and will rive us such laws on this sn ject as will give us as a people jus tice. security and peace, a free bal lot, a fair count and Democratic supremacy in South Carolina. Popularity. The position of a public man is not altogether an enviable one. He is the subject of all manner of criti cism, and no matter what course he pursues in any matter of public in terest he is sure to displease some upon whom be depends for popular favor and preferment. A public man, therefore, whose chief aim is popularity is kept constantly in that state of mind which is express ively described as being in "hot water". But one who is chiefly concerned about doing his duty, and who is conscious of the recti tude of his own course, can afford to view the temporary ebullitions of 'popular disfavor with equanimity and comparative peace of mind. Sueh a man does not hesitate as to what line of action.he shall pursue after being fully convinced in his own mind of the right one. He is not to be diverted from his course, but steers straight forward, not stopping to trim his sails to catch the popular breezes, which often times blow from every point of the compass. If he waits till the breezes are all propitious he will make veiy little headway. Steam has sup planted wind as the moving power of large vessels. A public man should, like a steamer, carry within his owa mind and conscience his own motive power, rather than de pend for it upon the shifting and uncertain breezes of popular favor. Were such the rule demagogues would be left behind, and our pub lic men would be men of merit able, honest and independent. We do not say that a public mar should be regardless of popular ap proval. On the contrary he should recognize and respect the opinions and the wishes of his constituents What we do say is, that he should not make popular ty the standard of his statesmanship, nor the guide to his action. That was a noble sentiment of Henry Clay : "I would rather be right than be President.' Judge Thomson Dead. Hon. Thomas Thomson, Judge od the Eighth Circuit, died at his home in Abbeville Thursday, the 5th in stant, of heart disease, after an ill ness of only a few hours. Judge Thomson was sixty seven years old, but was well preserved for his age. He was born in Scotland, and set ted in et rly life in Abbeville County; was an able lawyer ; daring the war he commanded a regiment ol volunteers, and made a good sol dier ; a few years a go he was elect ed Judge, and this position he filled, as he did all others that he was eves called upon to occupy, with honor and credit. Judge Thomson was a member of the Presbyterian Church, was a consistent Christian, a kind hearted man, though apparently austere. He was a man of great firmness and of unflagging energy and persever ance. In his death the State loses one of her best citizens, the Presbyterian Church one of its most active and devoted members, and the Bench one of its ablest Judges. Judge Thomson leaves a wife and several children. it is thought that Hon. J. S. Cothran, the present Solicitor of The Eigiath Cir-cuit, will, succeed Judge Thomson on the Bench. Col. .Jno. H. Evins, of Spartan burg, has taken a promite'nt part in the Midland R. Pe. extension movement. He used -his influence and his argumnenta to secure the road by Spartanburg, instead of by Greenville. The Greenville News says, that }4hile entertaining for Col. Evingthe kindest feelings per. sonally, sand generally approving his p,5bilic course, the people of Grnville will not again give their i'd in electing him to Congress, should he desire re-election. Thi: would not be just or kind. The people of Greenville should re member that when the question of the location of a United States Court House was before Congress Col. Evins took sides with Green ville against Spartanburg. When he did this some people in Spar. tanburg said they would not vote for him agamn. Now when he sides, ------------ 1 C. A Car Factory.

The Atlanta Cotton Exposition Will be opened the 4th of Octo ber. It- will be a very important occasion for Southern farmers. There will be practical illustrations of the best means of raising, gather ing and preparing cotton for the markets ; in short, everything con nected with the cultivation and manufacture of this great Southern staple will receive thorough atten tion. There will be exhibits of the raw cotton from every section of the South showing the quality and quantity raised in each locality. We respectfully suggest to the farmers of Newberry County that they should take an interest in this matter, and that they send dele gates from their number to repre sent this County at the Exposition. Let them call a public meeting and take appropriate action. Gen. Butler is one of the ablest men in the United States Senate. But for the fact that be is a "South ern Brigadier" he would be the re cognized leader on the Democratic side. Though not the ostensible leader he holds a commanding po sition, and his keen intellect, his devotion to principle and duty and his powers of debate have made him a man of great influence in public affiirs and won for him the respect and admiration of the whole country, regardless of political con siderations. His speech in the -Sen ste the 28th ultimo on the Mahone bargain was the speech of the ses sion. Courteous and dignified, yet bold, unsparing and convincing, in its cogent facts and reasoning, without directly charging a "bar gain" it proves, by unanswerable arguments, that there was a bar gain between Mahone and the Re public~ans. There way be a doubt whether the bargain was expressed, or only a tacit understanding, but there is no room to doubt the ex istence of a bar-gain. The Senatorial deadlock was bro ken the 4th. Senator Dawes, after attempting to vindicate the course of the Republicans and charging the Democrats with revolutionary proceedings, moved to go into ex ecutive session, which motion was promptly carried. It must have been a bitter pill.to the "stalwarts" to be thus beaten after so long a fight and such big talk. Henry C Tanner recovered a judgment of $14,440.50 against the Air Line Road ?a few days ago. In 1879, at Gaffney City, S. C., he was run over by the train and lost his leg. He sued in Atlanta for $15, 000. The three most prominent men before the country for the past two months have been Mahone, Gorham and Riddleberger. They went up like a rocket, and came down like a stick. The terms of the lease of the Spartanburg, Union & Columbia R.

C., May 4, 1881. All those who furnished brains and capital to the Republican party last fall are nut to be paid Dorsey, who was Secretary of the National Com mittee, is to lose his interest in the Star route contracts Gorham is not the Secretary of the Senate. The friends of Conkliog are not to be re warded, nor his services punished. But the~se people wil! make trouble. They have already begun to do so. They attack the President, and in one way and another will have a formida ble following. It is generally useless to prophesy politically for three years in advance, but unless the Democracy makes some unprecedented mistake, I fail to see how the party can be worse disorganized in the next Presidential eau.paign than the Republicans will be. The first direct attaak on the Presi dent~ is a statement of his in connec tionl with the allege& "Star" routes frauds. It was found in August last that the Republicans needed woney. Geui. Brady, head of the bureau mrak ing '-Star'' route contracts, was asked to assist his contractirs, but refused to do so unless the request camse from Get.. Garfield. Theu Gen. Garfield wrote the following Iletter, and Brady acted upon it: MENToR, Onro, Aug. 23, 1881. My DEAR HUBBELL : Xours of the 19th inst ,received ar d contents noted. Please say to Brady that I hope he will give us all the assistance possible. I think he can help Effectively. Please tell me how the department generally are doing. As ever yours, J. A. GARFIELD. To Hon. J. A. Hubbell, Washing ton, D. C. This letter wholly unparalleled in our political history, and discreditable even if Brady had been doing a legiti mate business instead of robbing the government, is published by the disaf feeted Republicans. Its publication shows a determination on their part to broak down the administration and the threatened developments are such as to wake that result not unlikely. The Seuate goes into Executivc Session to dry. There is an airy de nial on the part of the Rcpulicans that this is a "back dan" but every body knows thannhe Republicans have !v.td ea7dily for two months against this actio rn, and the Democrats for it. The Deznerats have not backed down. Senator Cenkling was so far influential in the R. pubh,. an caucus as to secure against the Presiderut's expressed wish a decision that the Robertson nomina tion should not be acted on at this session. He professes confidence in his ability to prevent confirmation, but does not wish the fight to be made. His victory over President Garfield and Secretary Bilaine in the matter is com plete. Mr. Williani I Chandler, nom inated as Solicitor General to carry out the work of bulldozing intelligent voters jin the Southi. will nut be op posed by either Senator from N4ew Ham psy1re, the State from which he hails, nrad will therefore be voted on. Several Republicau.s and every Demo crat will vote against it, and his defeat is therefore assured. H is confirmation would be an endorsement of not only all that is radical in the Republican party, but of the infamous practices in Florida in 1876, and that fact is ap preciated by the Democratic Senators DEM. .tlarried, May 5, 1831, by Rey.

Mackey's contest was with O'Connor, and to go into the special flection will vacate it. le claiu.s that lie was elected and O'Connor was not, and his evidence is all in. The theory is that if Mackey holds aloof from the special election. and his friends do the same thing, the ballot cast for the Democratic candidate will necessarily be light, which will indicate what O'Connor was really en titled to. The fact that another can didate is likely to step in Mackey's shoes if he declines to run again makes this programme appear of doubtful success. In any event the contested case is to be one of the most novel, interesting and compli cated ever brought before the House f Representatives. A Hard Hit for Conkling. The "Uncontested" New York Nominations Withdrawn. Special to News and Courier. WASHINGTON, May 5.-The Presi dent's withdrawal of the New York nominations creates a general sensation to-day. It is regarded as an open declaration of war upou Mr. Conkling. Mr. Garfield had an interview with Vice-President Arthur this morning, and reminded him of his (the Presi dent's) ultimatum that the New York nominations must stand or fall togeth er. He would not submit to the postponement of Robertson and the confirmation of Conkling's friends As Gen. Arthur courd not promise any change of heart on the part of Conkling, the message was shortly after sent in withdrawing all but Rob ertson. - - The Deniocrats arejubiUant: They regard the fight as likely to give them New York at the next election' Mew Jdvertisements.
