Thiteme 4Great anid smaall. r Apyeance of the Star Route Ring in Court. News and Courier. WASHINiTo.N. October 4.-There was a grod deal of interest in the courts to-day, the grand jury coM pleting t6eir examinatioc and finding a presentment in the assassination case, while the Criminal court room was the theatre of anotherdemionstra tion of the Star Route jobbers. In accordance with the expectation of the prosecution expressed in court yester day the defendants in the recent in formation made their appearances with a motion to quash There was a for .,idable array of d<-fendants, counsel and prospective bondsmet, which filed into*the court-room at an early hour. attracting general attention. First camo Messrs. J. L. French and W. 11. Turner, former clerks in the contract office of the postoffice department, and who are included in the information as to the conspirac, 'n route No. 40, 101. After the dismissed and dis graced officials of the smaller denomi uation came the -Boss," Thomas J. Brady. The latter was the cynosure of all eyes, especially of the prisoners in the dock in the case under consid eration. They ioubtless felt mean in the presence ot such royal thieves. Brady was accompanied by S. P. Brown, his co-conspirator. They were followed by Col. Bob Ingersoll, who will attempt to prove there is no hell for S. P. Brown, and that the whole business is only a mistake of Moses. There were the Hon. Joe Wilson and Enoch Totten, both eminent lawyers, and Chanler, and there was the Hon. J. Hale Sypher, an eminent cipher. Behind these came Hallet Kilbourn and other distinguished gentlemen, who were there in the character of possible bondsmen. Altogether it was a goodly sight, this remarkable assembly, and might have been very impressive to a jury Opposed to this array of -riwiuals, legal lore and hard cash, were the bent form, gray hairs and knock- I knees of Col. Billy Cook. The latter was fully cqual to the sitvation and contemplated the crowd with a cynical smile. When Mr. Totten announced that they had come there for the purpose of ente:ing a motion to quash and fix a day for the argu ment, Col. Cook got on his wiry legs and demanded that the defence comply with the law and furnish Then the side issue of bail was taken up, Jere Wilson and Col. Iager soll going into the merits of the in formation at some length. Every time this was done Col. Cook brought them back to the point at issue, and sarcastically insinuated that the quickest way to reach the issue was to comply with the law and furnish bail. When the case came up the Govern ment would soon show whether it had evidence or not to sustain the counts in the information. When the wran gle closed the case was left just where it began, the motion to quash was not entered, the Judge desiring a day to look over theinformation so he could determine the amount of bail, after furnishing which the defence can file their motion. So "Little Billy" Cook, as the Ring sters call him, won the first skirmish in the Court. Brady & Co. gave their personal recognizance to appear in Court to-morrow morning. Some weeks ago we toek the ground that the advocates of prohibition would damage the cause of temperance in South Carolina if they did not cease to press their movement. The result in North Carolina is proving the correct-i ness of this position, for some time before the election in that State on prohibition, by which the movementa was defeated by more than a hundred thousand majority, the city of Char-i lotte elected a dry ticket and refused to grant licenses. Now that the fight1 has been made and lost in the State,j the city council of Charlotte has re- I considered its action and decided to grant licenses for the sale of spirituous liquors as heretofore. This should be a lesson to the ultra prohibitionists in this State. They had better let well enough alone. ( Ander-son Intelligencer. South Carolina is probably the only State in the Union that can point with pride to two ex-Governers sim ultaneously in the clutches of the law. R. K. Scott is in trouble for murder ; Franklin J. Moses is in jail for awind ling a citizen in the paltry sum of twenty-five dollars. D)aniel Cham berlain is the next in order. This is a good time to recall thec fact that it was red shirt, straightout, ]3ourbon ~Democracy that saved this State from having Scott, Moses', Chamberlain,Elliott,Whipper, Gleaves, Whittemore and their friends ruling her affairs and sitting on her bench, and replaced them with Hampton, Hagood, Simpson, McIver, Jeter,I Kershaw and their kind.

A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE. The Herali is in the highest respect a Fain lv Newspaper. devoted to the material in .rests of the people of this County and the tate. It circulates extensively, and as an 0lvertising medium offers unrivalled att -autages. For Terms, see first page. Guitean's Confession. The New York Iff,rald prints a ong confession from the assassin 'Juiteau. The narrative begins with he presidential campaign. Guiteau vas very anxious to be sent out as yne of the campaign speakers, and aung around the Republican head juarters in New York, besieging -be committee for week after week. Dne speech.entitled Garfield against Hancock, he thought was a remark ible performance. This he had printed, but got no opportunity to ieliver it except to a colored meet ng in New York. After Garfield's ?Iection he went to Washington ind sent in his application for the kustrian mission, accompanying is application with his great peech. He wrote numerous notes tnd letters to the President and to Secretary Blaine. Finding he could not get the Austrian Mission he Ipplied for the Paris Consulship While this application was pending, he being sanguine of the appoint ment. it sudder ly occurred to him that the President must be "re oved;" that it was necessary for the preservation of the country and the Republican party ; that if the President were out of the way the party would become united; other wise the government would fall into the hands of the -rebels and Democrats." This impression kept growing upon him till he felt him self impelled by divine authority to remove the President. He thus describes his conception of the deed: My conception of the idea of re moving the President was this : Mr. Conkling resigned on Monday, May 1G, 1881. On the following Wed nesday I was in bed. I think I re tired about 8 o'clock. I felt -de pressed and perplexed on account of the political situation, and I retired muuch earlier than usual. I felt wearied in mind and body, and I was in my bed about 9 o'clock. and I was hinking over the political situation, ad the idea fiashed through my brain that if the President was out of he way everything would go better. At first this was a mere impression. [t startled me with renewed force, and [began to read the papers with my ye on the possibility that the Presi lent would have to go; and the more read, the more I saw the comaplica ion of public affairs, the more was I inpressed with the necessity of re uoving himi. This thing continued for about two eeks. I kept reading the papers tnd kept being impressed, and the dea kept bearing and bearing and >earing down upon me (hat the only way to unite the two factions of the 'epublican party and save the repub ic from going into the hands of the -ebels and Democrats was to quietly emove the President. He then proceeds to recount the ettempts to carry out his purpose. He went to the Christian Church mn Sunday and saw that the Presi lent sat by a window. He made ip his mind to come back the next nnday and shoot him there ; but te learned in a cday or two that the President wvas going to Long 3ranch with Mfrs. Garfield. He went to the depot for the mrpose of "removing" the Presi lent. He gives as his reason for ot killing him then that "Mrs. arfield looked so thin and clung o his arm so tenderly that I did tot have the heart to fire on him." Knowing when the President ould return from Long Branch te went again to the depot for the prpose of killing him. It was a Lot, sultry day. While waiting in he ladies' room he says, "I thought all over and made up my mind hat I would not fire that day. I tid not feel like it." He next followed the President rhile out riding with his son and nother gentleman, but did not get chance to shoot. He next followed him as he went lone to Mr. Blaine's house ; he raited in the alley for the President > pass by on his return ; but when e returned Mr. Blaine was with im. Next was the successful attempt t the depot July 2nd. A white man named Chnrch was ien out of jail at Newton, Cataw a County, N. C., the night of the Lh and hanged for the murder of Miss Thompson in Alexander onty last August. The amount of fraid :d ratseal ty that is being nnearthed and bronght to light in the various de- 1( partments at Washington is stu- b< pendons. Y Only a few weeks ago Capt. How- hi gate. of the Signal Service Office. D was detected in embezzlements to a th- e7tent of nearly 81100,000. P Thos. J. Brady, who was First p Assistant Postrnaqter General under tl Hayes, is now on trial with several a others for defrauding the govern- n ment out of millions by fraudulent t< contracts in connection with the d Star Route mail service. .John Sherman. Hayes' Secretary N of the Treasury. is charged with c: having got immensely rich out of I his salary. Astounding revelations & are promised soon in connection 3 with the Treasury Department. v The latest development of rascal- d ity is in connection wich the Pen- ji sion Office. A ring of clerks in this office, aided by outsiders, have C succeeded, by means of forged e claims, in swindling the govern ment out of millions of dollars. e One of the clerks named Geo. W. Black has been caught up with. The detectives claim to be in pos session of some startling facts t at will be made public soon. t The whole system of civil service, I seems to be permeated with rotten ness. The death of President Garfield did not stop the hostility between t the "Stalwarts" and '-Half Breeds" in the State of New York. This! was the issue in electing their dele- I gates to the recent State Conven tion. In Conkling's own County, I Utica, the contest for delegates was very close : the two factions held separate meetings and elected a'' different set of delegates, the Stal warts being headed by ex-U. S. s Senator Conkling, and the Half l Breeds. or Garfield Republicans, by ex-State Senator Lowery. When ( the State Convention met in New York City the 5th the Half Breeds were in a majority, even leaving out the contesting delegations. After a short, sharp and decisive fight they got entire control of the Convention and had things their a own way. The State Fair Will begin November 8th, and c will last three days. The Premium List is to hand. It shows a deter- ; mination on the part of the officers ' to do things on a liberal scale. During Fair Week there will be races every day at the Fair Grounds. Some of the best horses ogj the' turf will be on hand. The citizens of Columbia are de termined to offer visitors every at traction ; and are preparing for a t grand display of fire-works, pa geants, procession, &c., somewhat ( in imitation of the Mardi Gras of New Orleans. Altogether a pleasant and lively time may be expected at the ap proaching State Fair. An Unloaded Pistol not a Dead 13' Weapon. A party wvas tried before Judge ~ Mackey at Sumter last week on the h charge of carrying a concealed dead- n ly weapon. His Honor charged la the jury that it not appearing that the pistol was loaded, and there fi being no attemp)t to use it as a h loaded pistol, it was not a "deadly weapon" within the meaning of the tj act. ti J. C. Hempkill, of the Keu-s and Courier staff, is '-doing' the Atlan ta Exposition. His letters to his o paper are very interesting, and will e~ afford much consolation to those V who cannot be present in person.t A prisoner in the Bloomington, is Ill., jail grabbed a pistol from the 23 jailer's pocket and shot him with it. g A mob of .5,000 people broke open the jail, took the murderer out. and g hanged him, it The man who stole thousands in South Carolina a few years ago with impunity, has come to grief y for swindling a man in New York w out of the pitiful sum of twenty- r~ five dollars.

Howgate, of the Signal '" Service office at Washington, who is charged with embezzling 894,000,M and who deserted his wife for a yo mistress, has been released o'- bond. Guiteau's trial has begun. His brother-in-law, Mr. Schoville, repre sents him at the trial. His only defense will be that of insanity. Bc Bc Ex-Gov. F. J.

More than usual interest will centre I in the National Capital for somc time, as several events of public enneern are entering upon the scene. The indict ment already found against Guiteau is to be tried, and the wretch probably hung ; the star route cases have al ready been called into Court for a be ginning ; the Senate is about to meet in extra session, and the Supreme Court convenes on Monday next. All these things, in connection with the in terest attaching to a change of Admin istration, are likely to make Washing ten as interesting as it is in mid-win ter. Our District criminal court is a tribunal of National and extraordinary interest when its history, or the his tory of its trials is reviewed. It has a tried Surratt for the murder of Presi - dent Lincoln, tried the notorious safe burglary cases, the Ottwan Treasury robbery case, besides Cougressmen for murder, forgery and bigamy, and sent ex-Senators and other former high officials to the penitentiary. Next to the Guiteau trial the people of the couutry are probably most in terested in the star route prosecutions. These cases have been thoroughly ex posed through the press and there is a convictiun in the public mind that a there was under the direction of Mr. Brady a criminal waste of public money, to say the least. The'enor mouu,; expenditure for that service, - conumiDg the entire appropriation for the fiscal year before the year was half gone, and creating a deficipecy _ amounting to millions; the excessive increase of the pay of certain contrac tors to five or ten times the amount of their original contracts, are facts be . yond controversy and circemstances calculated to raise a presumption of wrong. When these things are taken 4 in connection with certain other evi dences, and the accumulation of large r fortunes by the officials and contract a ors, they rot only raise the presump tion but inspire a conviction in the public mind which only a thorough clearing up will ever remove. Even if the accused escape conviction upon technicalities, or for lack of legal proof I of guilt, the circumstanceb are so a strong that a general doubt of inno cence will still exist. e Since the adjournment of the Su . prenie Court there bas been a vacancy created., caused by the death of Justiec Clifford, and Justice Hunt, it is under I stood, is still incapacitated for service. s Justice Field is not e:pectcd here for B several weeks, and the Court will therefore meet with three members , short. There is much anxiety among the bench and the bar on the subject f of the filling of the vacancy caused by the death of Justice, Clifford. There is no reliable information as to wbetber President Arthur proposes to send in a nomination for the vacancy at the special session of the Senate, or whether lhe will wait until the regular a, session in December, and it is supposed a that he may conme to some conclusion ; in the mat.ter during his present stay in New York, after consultation with his friends. The justices of the Su r preme (Court would be glad if the va e ancy should be promptly filled, as it would b&lp very much to lighten their labors ; but there are difficeulties in r the way which the President fully appreciates, and which may possibly 3 induce him, to delay making a nonii - natiou until D)ecember. There will be a grc4t pressure to take the new jappointee fromi the East as only one Sactive miemb er of the bench, Mr. Jus Stice Bradley, is nOW from that section, -and Justice Clifford was the only member from New England. But the claims of the South will also be pre 1sented and urged with persistency, as it has hazd no representative on the, -bench of t be Supreme Court since the 1 days of the war. Justice Woods, who was lately appointed, although nomi Snally from iSouthern Circuit, had never given up his residence in Ohio, 1which State has to-day no less than Sfour menmbers of the bench of the Su premne Court. Owing to all the cir cumstances, including the peculiar division of parties in the Senate, the filling of this vacancy by the President Swill necessarily be surrounded with more or less embarrassment, and will require the ex'treise of sound judg iment and diseretion. It is now said to be President Arthur's intention not to avail him self of the extra session of the Sen Sate for the anppointment of a new :Cabinet, but to wait until Congress meets in D-cember. Hie thinks, it is said, that the Catrine't ministers now in office should remain to make the annual reports ons the operations of their respective Departments, and that in the nieantimne he will have better opportunities for ascertaining the current of popular sentiment as to what his Adnunistration should he. If this report is correct the President will of course have the benefit of the present Caibiinet mainisters' reports on the public business in a retrospective sense ; and to that extent they may serve him in getting up his own rmes sage to Congress. But if shortly after the mieetinig of Congress the present Cabinet is to go Out, its mem bers can aid him but little in shaping the prospective features of his mues sage. In laying down his policy for the future it would evidently be of advantage to him to have his future constitutional advisers at his elbow. .Doubtless these matters were all determined upon after consultation with his friends during the Presi dents' recent visit to New York. But no one hero appears authorized to speak by the card. It is still insisted, by those who ought to know what they are talking about, that Mr. Conkling is to be made Secretary of the Treasury and Mr. Blaine retained as Secretary of State in an effort to harmonize things. What a happy family that would be ! In my opin ion no alarming amount of harmony Just think of the possibilities of the situation with Robertson as Collec tor of New York, and Conkling his ST superior officer at the head of the Treasury Departnent. while Binine sit -it Couking's right in Cabinet Consultations-. Oh, no ! I guess not. Xew a4dvertusemenx. E cell THE LARGEST, I all of CHEAPEST AND BEST b IS.1 ASSORTED STOCK OF aft the LAMPS 18t EVER SOLD IN NEWBERRY.
