Redmond Sentenced. Greenville News. A dense crowd assembled in the Courthouse yesterday morning to hear the sentences of the court upon the prisoners convicted during the present term, the interest being e tred on Lewis R. Redmond, the fa mous moonshiner. He occupied a chair immediately in front of and, of course, facing the Judge, and seemed to be in good spirits, engaging in pleasant conversation with Judge Fields of Pickens, an old and faithful friend, during the time of waiting for the commencement of business. Soon after court was opened Dis trict Attorney Melton said it became his duty to move the court for judg ment on the persons convicted at this term. -* * * * * * He then moved for judgment on Lewis R. Redmond. Redmond sat bright and cheerful. and as the indictments were read glanced -about him, meeting the eyes of'acquaintance6s with a roguish smile, and being apparently in the best of spirits. The District Attorney then review ed the cases on which the prisoner ha pleaded 'Guilty.' * * * * * The venerable Jude who looked down at him alone knew whether he waa to be .imprisoned for thirty or three years, or fined many or a few thousand dollars, but Redmond's con fident demeanor never changed, and he still glanced about and smiled, or carefully adjusted his collar, while -Gen. Garlington said: May it please your Honor-I had almost concluded to say nothing more in these cases than I said when they were called for trial. . But, I ask per mission, in behalf of the defendant, and at his request, to make some statements of facts which, in my opinion have a bearing upon the merits of his appeal for mitigation of punishment for his violation of the law. In doing this, I have little hope of influencing your Honor's judgment, for I have confidence in your Honor's disposition to dispense justice with mercy in any case presented. But the defendant's case is a pecu liar one; and, I think there may be presented to your Honor's considera tion facts and circumstances, which will justly make a strong appeal for mercy. In the first place, I would ask your Honor to consider the circumstances which surrounded the defendant when these offensei are alleged to have been committed. He is now twenty seven years of age-only seven years old when the civil commotion began in this country, which resulted in a bloody 'civil war. He was, indeed, rocked in the cradle of revolution, his own State sponsor at his side. At the close of this bloody war he was but a youth, twelve years old, left -drifting on its t.j& Two of his brothers had ':,een sacrificed on the - altar of what they deemed their country, leaving the defendant, their only brother to care for an aged fa ther and mother and four sisters. In a. short time, the father and mother . died, leaving him to strnggle to sup. port. the family, under the hard blows of misfortune. In the strait in which he was placed, he became an offender against the law, in a community where his offence was not considered a crime. It was at the close of the war, when its great waves which had been lashed to the sky had not sub sided ; when the passions of men had not been cooled- when society had been upturned to its very foundations; when 'law and order had not returned to their accustomed channels, and the, * weakness of human nature gave way to the confusion of the hour, and the reason of the best of men lost its bearings. It was at this juncture, he followed the example of others, and brought himself into the vortex -which has overwhelmed him. * * His offense was the crime of the comn * munity in which lhe was born and reared, and he should not now be made to bear its sins. If proof were wanting of' what I assert, in this re *spect, I would cite your Honor to the crowd of penitent sinners who poured down from this section to the portals of this sanctuary of justice a few yea'rs ago, pleading for the benefits of am nesty whieh President Hayes offered -to them. And I beg to state to your Honor, upon the solemn asseveration of the defendant, that although some of his offenses were excepted from the *amnesty, be would have come here, and claimed its benefit as to offences embraced in its terms, and appeared to the other offenses, if, in his opin ion, be could have done so with safe ty. But he was placed in a position where to have attempted this would have been ar, the risk of his life. He was pursued as an outlaw. He could nft show his head any where without being shot at by persons i' -ambus cade. Now, may it please your Honor, defendant has committed no offence against the law since this amnesty was offered. lie has been a law-abiding citizen. He has expressed himself as ready to surrender himself to the mandates .of the law, when the au thority was shown him. But in A pril last. while at home in peace, he was fired upon, and severely wounded. Thirteen balls penetrated his body and clothing. Four balls are now in his body ; and he is injured perhaps for life. In all the fusilades fired on him, he numbers one hundred and sixt y two shots. He is now suffering 'under his grievious weunds. Judge Melton said the extreme lim it of punishment was thirty years a,nd minimum two and a half; the Government did not ask the extreme limit or anything near it. It only desired a punishment adequate to the prisoner's offense, and suffieient to sut,serve the purposes of the law, and' that these be given in mercy. * The sentence of the court was then T announced : For the 'Gary raid,' three years i TH imprisonment, and a fine of 650. w. For the 'Bartou raid' the zame. For each of the eight Revenue cases, six months imprisontrent. Redmond's countenance never ehanged, except that it became a lit tle ruore grave. [s that as you expected. Major:' a representative of The Daily News asked him. It's way yonder wore than I thought for,' was the reply; 'I never expected more'n three years. W L" 'Can you pay any of the floes?' 'No,' with a shake of the head. These fines will give him a month Th additional imprisonment each, after which he can be released from them stat by swearing to his insolvency. The Vat total term of imprisonment in his _. sentence is ten years, which by good conduct can be reduced to nine. There will be a strong- movement to obtain a pardon, and Redmond is very inst confident of obtaining it, or a com- ifyii mutation to two or three years im- Chq prisonment. Ace The Great Guesser. larg ThE Vennor Explains the Theory of his Weather of t Predictions. yea Prof. H. G..Vennor is stopping at spei the Hotel Brunswick, New York, and dec: of course has been interviewed. He A explains his system as being based has upon the results of observation, and cei the comparison of cause with cause, effect with effect, season with season. -~ Ile says : 'What I do and have done and is the result of persistent study and imn directing others' labors. I discovered a s one fact, and proving it to be a fact cei beyond question or dispute, I have . builded upon it, and built safely, I in think. What was that discovery ? stol Just this: that seasons and years re- I cur in couplets and triads. Rules mat applicable to the first season or year of a couplet are equally applicable to the du second season or year of that couplet, ine0 and precisely so in the triads. Such The is:the main superstructure of my work. cles But I soon found that the system was 945 not bound down to a mere generality, , embracing only a season or year in its entirety. Experiment evidenced that Chs the same calcufatious could be made con for a month, and that, too, with an T exactness that at first appeared to be ton surprising. And I pursued my work still further, until now I do not hesi- wha tate to bring my calculations within a tio1 week. Yes, I have been able to des- dee ignate particular days. That is usually of t roy rule in the text of my predictions. Cha But the public should understand that, except in special cases, I never risk are every thing upon any single twenty. tani four hours. I -have not yet reached adv that point in my system, although T there is no telling what will be accom- pdr plished in the near future. My ex perience long ago impressed me with Cifl the force of the recurrence of periods ms8t of similar weather, and to my per- intc sonal experience I have added the an- .crea thentic records of' three-quarters of a 186 century. Those records cover Canada and the United States. They are prac- pra tically complete, and they uphold my 970 theories. Upon them, in fact, to no toni small extent, do I depend for every zers thing. Sometimes I am bothered by nay inability to decide whether I pha have entered a couplet or triad of sea- 122 sons, and until that matter is settled in 1 I am all at sea, and quite as likely fror to be wrong as right. Now, an in-ph stance of that was the winter of 1880, when, you will remember, r declined navi to say anything positively. I was in yeai doubt upon many phases of the then 000. recurring weather, and was unwilling T to make any forecast. You will bear amc in mind the circumstances. There was the strangest of weather. But tate the instances in which I have been prol obliged to forego my predictions are city wonderfully few. Such a miss is not 358. possible once in a thousand times.' He thinks that the United States ' Signal officers have been ungenerous in recent st.rictures of his system. and Cha: says: 'Early in July I saw indica- diti< tions of the heralded storm for this T section of the Atlantic.

Rapid Pronotion. A few men who are now promi nent in railroad circles reached 1 their positions very rapidly. Col. I A. C. Haskell stepped from the Si- i preme Court Bench into the Presi- I dency of the Charlotte, Columbia 1 & Augusta R. R.; Mr. R. L. Mc Canghrin operated the Larens R. R. a few months as Receiver, and was then elected President of the Columbia & Greenville R. R. Both these men had been prominent in other fields; the former as a law yer and judge; the latter as a banker. The most remarkable rise wqs that of Mr. V. E. McBee, of Green ville, (otherwise known as "Bunch" McBee,) who rose from the position of brakeman on a freight train on the Air Line to the Superintenden cy of the Western North Carolina R.R. A few years ago, being out of employment, he went to Superin tendent Foreacre and asked for a position. The Superintendent said, "There is no place open that you would have. I could make you a brakeman on a freight train, but I know you would not take that." "Put me on to morrow morning," said the young man. He was put on; and by his intelligence and his strict attention to duty he has gradually risen to his present en viable position. A Fqrious Storm on the Sea. coast. The storm at Charleston Satur day night, 27th ultimo, was very severe. The wind blew furiously, and the rain poured down in tor rents. Considerable damage was done to shipping and buildings. A few lives were lost. Mr. Thos. P. Lesesne, twenty-three years old, son of ex Chancellor Lesesne, was drowned off the battery. In Savannah the storrg was ter rific: nothing like it was ever known. Houses were blown down or unroofed, several vessels were driven out to sea and lost, and many persons lost their lives from falling buildings, and from drown ing. The wind blew at the rate of seventy five miles an hour, and the rain poured down like a flood. The damage to property was very great, being estimated at not less than half a million dollars. The parks anud the splendid shade trees, for which the "Forest City"' was so famous, were devastated. It will be a long time before the city can recover from the feafful disaster. The latest estimate of the loss of life in and near Savannah by the storm of Saturday night, 27th uIt., is from 250 to 300 ; the loss of property at $1,500,000. Of those who 'lost their lives and have thus far been found ten were white. The Blne Ridge R. R.-Pros pept.y or' its Conmpletion. The Clyde Syndicate has put a corps of engineers on the line of the Blue Ridge Ri. R., to examine the condition of the road-bed and to estimate the cost of .completing it. The engineers will make their report in the course of a month or six weeks. It has already been de cided to extend the Blue Ridge to Knoxville ; the question now is whether to make the connection at Toccoa, on the Air Line, or by way of the old Blue Ridge route ; and this question depends on the esti mated cost to be made by the en gineers. The Olyde Syndicate Buys the virginia Midland. The Clyde Syndicate has added] another big link to their Rlail Road] combination by purchasing the Vir ginia Midland R. R. from the Balti more & Ohio R. R' Company. Thir a road, which extends from Washing ton, via Alexandria, to Danville, is 187 miles long, and runs through a very fine section of Virginia. It was through this roatd that thei Baltimore & Ohio was expected to compete in North and South Caro- I lina with the Richmond & Danville. This change of ownerghip will not interfere with the completion of the North Carolina Midland. Capt. Howgate, of the U. S. Ar my, while in charge of the Signal Office disgraced himself by embez zling 8170,000 and abandoning his wife for a "strange" woman. Hei was arrested for embezzlement and j gave bail. A few days ago he fled to Canada with his mistress, carry ing 822,000 with him, and leaving his wife and daughter penniless.

The Trustees of Furn.an Univer- 0 sity have decided to reopen that 1 Institution in the Fall under new a management and new regulations. Rev.
