The Pickens Raid. IThe Greenville News of the 28th ultimo t ys: "It transpires from a trustworthy ,..urce that the party of raiders whose raid *sulted in thoe shooting of Joab Alexander, ~ar Recky Bot tom, in Pickens County re ntly, were not commissioned officers and haid no warrant for Alexander in their pos ssion. It is believed that an investigation J the facts of the affair will prove, in addi l ion to the above, that the shooting was to, W iy unprovoked and uncalled for in every .mne of the word, and will lay the party who -iid the shooting liable toe indlictnment for ,urder if' Alexandelr should die, and if not, *r assault and battery with intent to kill. The French Broad Railroad. The Abbeville Medium ays: "The effort, to nuild thuis Road is meeting with success. The people along the proposed route are fully a~iv to the importance of the enterprise, and, o far, have responded with liberality to very call for subscriptions. The comple Ion of the Road Is absolutely necessary for he futnro prosperity of this place and of the ection through which it will pass. Thme easons for the Road are much plainer than vere ever shown for the construction of any . her-line in this county. It is a part of the 1. reat, line which is to unite the fertilocount ry of the Northwest with our sea coast. Going ,iirectly to Port Royal we will reach the best arbor on the Atlantic south of Norfolk and ihll be put in direct communication with oreign ports. No argument, is nocessary to prove the adlvantages to our scction from such Sconnect ion. "Thme Medium stands ready to do anything a its power to advance this scheme. It is est, however, that thme enterprise should i ene uight. The survey of the route should be made at once and the exact line of he read marked out. la this way there cn be no possible ground for contention and f:utit finding after work is commenced in earn.. ust. The public should know the cost of the tioadl and tihe probable difliculties to be over.. )me. This is (lie business view of It and if 1hme road is to be a success at all, it must be built on business principles. We say all thuis t o prevent any wrangle like the one now In progress concerning the Savannah Valley Road. Such things are unpleasant and there s no profit, or senuse in them.

Governor St. John, of Kansas, sends the Raleigh Advocate the following letter, in reply to the question whether the Stite Law prohib. ited the use of wine at the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper, &c.: EXECUTIVE DuPARTMENT, ToPEKA, March 13, 1881. What is known as the Kansas Temperance Prohibitory Law in no manner interferes with the sale of any tincture or compound used solely for medicinal purposes, nor does the law prohibit, the manuifacmure of perfumery that is not used as a beverage; nor does it. di rectly or indirec ly prohibit the use of wine in the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper. All re ports to the contrary are instigated and circu lated by the Whiskey Ring to try and break the force of the law recently enacted in this State, which bids fair to become an entering wedge that shall open the way to absolute pro, hibition throughout the entire land of the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors as a beverage. Notwithstanling the law does not. take effect until the first of May next, the wisdom of the policy of prohibition in Kansas is already vis ible in the closing of the saloons in nearly all of the interior towns of the State, and after the first day of May we shall not have an op en bar in Kansas. Our people are determin ed never again to be guilty of giving the sonc tion of law to a great evil. Very truly yours, JoHN P. ST. JOHN. Our Washinigtoi Letter. WASHINGTON, May 30. 1881. We have had a week of lively sensations in politics. Mr. Conkling, who has bcen the subject of a'great deal of discussion 'and dis sension for sonmc years, wound up his career with "the greatest effort, of his life," and of course it created a comimotion. Conkling is in the habit of creating a commotion; but it be, gins to look as though he had overdone the thiug this time. What was intended for a sensational drama-to secure admirat ion, sym pathiy, and delay-fell upon the country in tihe first act as a farce, and ended in a tradegy the political death of the principal star. Umi ted States 8enators seldom die, and never re, sign; and Mr. CJonkling is one of tihe laist men who would be suspected of voluintarily retir ing from political life. Nobody no0w believes that his late step was taken with that end in view. But it seemIs likely he has mliscalcula ted the effect and over estimated his striengthI. From all that can be learned up to th is tio lie has very litt le chance of obtaining the vin dication ho sought, or even of saving his po litical neck. Some sympathy is felt for Mr. Platt, whom Mr. Conkling led off by the car and whose senatorial career is thuns cut short before it, had fairly begun. Platt probably exclaims, "Since so soon I am done for, I wonder what I was begun for?" But Conkling is credited with having miadc him, so of course it was his privilege to un. make him. Mr. Platt must have said to himi self, 'Conkling is mighty; ho giveth and lhe taketh away.' It is rather hard however, for the new Senator enjoyed his position, and had just purchased a fine house in Washington. The feeling here is very dliverse. Mr. CJonk, ling has many admirers and friends, especial.. ly amongfl the late supporters of Grant, and the Admuinistration is bilauriy aissailed by thoem as wvell as by the "star route" crowd. Yet. a very decided mlajority of the Republicans are with the President. It could not be otherwise. Without inquiring into the real sentiments of the politicians, we all know that Senators and Congressmen who want favors, and oflice-holdl ers or office-seekers who have or want posi, tions are not very likely to turn against, the hand that dispenses. Tihis is one great ad vantage possessed by the Administration all throngh such a contest, especially in a spoils and plunder party, such as the Rtepublican or ganization now Is. Meanwhile all this is nut~s for the Democrats. You can't find one in Washington anywhere who hasen't a broad grin on his honest countenance. Said a Dem ocratic Senator to me last hlight: Any Dem ocrat wiho is not satisfied with the way things are 'working now, ought to drown himself." But it is to be hoped that., until an opportuni occurs to directly and .unmistakably profit by doing otherwise, a policy of non--interference will be iraiutained. Nothing has been gained in the past by going into combinations to kill off one Republican to elect and advance anoth,. or. The party gained nothing by helping to defeat Chandler with Christianey and Matt. Carpenter with Cameron in 1874. Both men elected by Democratic votes, were meaner and more illiberal in every way than the ones de feated. if Conkling is defeated by Repulhlic an votes well and good, lnit Democrats should think twice before they contribute their strength to the work. It is a question, whether Conkling returned would advantage the Democrats of New York or of the nation as much as Conkling in the Senate acting in dependently of the Republican caucus and fighting the Administration. FLATTSnixaO GAaFBIILD.-Private Secretary Nichol went to Garfield one morning recently aud said. "Conkling says he wants a chance to look you in the eye and tell you you are a iar. How much longer, General, are you go lng to stand this sort of thing?" And he re ports Garfield as replying in those deep gut tural tones that he uses when most, excited: "He. wants to look me in the eye dd& he! Let him come into this room, and I will look him in the eye when he comes in, and give him my boot when he goes out."--Sprinfid Repub lican. The Pat ilberty. MI. EDITO*5: 0nio at Libei'tf was a success la ponIdfa&ttehdance. The pleasant sense of freedos 'the open afr always gives, the charm of the now green woods, and the novelty of talkIng andeatirg Oypsy fashion, out under the trees, causes all who can to attend. It is a latent spice of vagabondism, more or less developed in all of our natures, that leads to this keen appreciation of such va grant pleasures. The restless touch of the spring's soft, yet intense breoth, the feeling of non-restral nt in the wide woods, and the picturesque disorder and confusion appeal to all our lawless propensities, and proclaim our relationship with that much abused or~ der, the Brotherhood of -'Tramps." The picnic was held in a grove near the Baptist Church-a Sunday School festival. The earlier part of the day was quite pleasant, though as a lively yong lady present ro marked, "Dusty enough to please the most exacting." There were enough present to represent all the eleinents that go to make up the regu lation picnic. There were the "Old Folks" who had shaken their heads and voted against the picnic all the time as "Young Ones' fool ishness," trying to wear long faces, and guiltily conscious that they are having as "good a time" as any body- There are knots of farmers talking crops and the weather, and here and there with a shade more of im portance, politics. Pretty girls'in exaggera ted rush hats, and bright colors grouped about under the trees entertaining their at, tendan t cavaliers, and perfect crowds of mer ry children, wearing on their bright face, that look of expectancy so beauttful'in child. hood of unknown pleasures to be discovered and new happiness realized. Very good addresses were delivered to the Sunday School by Rev. Mr. McLecs and Mr. Julius lloggs. Mr. McLees gave a clear and distinct statement of the great moral good accomplished by Sunday Sohools independ ent of the church. Dinner was then announced and eaten with evident relish in true camp style. About "the spring" the barefoot boy reigned supreme. They climed trees, threw rocks at imaginary squirrels, bent pini-hooks to fish in 'the branch," and with inventive genius, won detful to behiold iii minds so young, de tailed marvelous accounts as brilliant as they were incredible of their encounters with the ''spreadin' nadders" and rattle snakes they hal demolished in the surrounding bushes. One handsone little brown--eyed fellow, with lhe bim of his wide straw hat torn half way off, stood a little aipart from the othaers, and kept up a '"r-uning fire"' of cool citiicism on each new comecr, that. would have done credit to a ' down town"' repoI Ier, or the most ap proved dandy of the season, eye glass anad all. The weather after dinneri waIs extremely wa rm. '1 here was a p'romuiselof' the usual picnic shower. There were the stereotyped questions, 'liow have you enjoyed yourself?" and. "Ilave you had a pleasant day?" and soon a genieraul dispersion. There were sev., er-al from Centrial who returnmed to await t he cominig of thle train at L-iberty, where they met withI thle gr-eatest cour-tesy- andl kmidness, anid for:med so Ie plecasa nt acquna inances.

BDoTOR: As you have no regular cor respondent from this part of our County, and thinking as I do that it would confer an honor on this section to be roprosented through your Spicy paper, I have concluded to enlist as one. The farmers in this section have almost subdued "General Green." The area of cotton planted in this section of our County ;a much larger than last year, which I think is quite a mistake on the part ot our farmers. They ought in my judgment, make muore of their provisions at home and save the tremendous per Leent that they have been paying merchants for Western provi sBions for the last eight or ten years. I noticed one of your correspondeats spoke in referOLco to the peach crop in his section. I will say to yonr writers and to your moun tain correspondent., that it has been our luck to be deprived of this lucious fruit. But we are not behind in everything. We have a splendid country store conducted by Mr. W. A, Payne & Brother, of Central. Mr. Payne will probably, at an early day, use printer's ink, as he is a gentleman of culture and brainp. We also have a postoffice in ounr immediate neighborhood, conducted by Mr. J. T. O'Bryant, a worthy and.deserving young gentleman. We also have two supurb vio. linists, Bob and Tom, these gentlemen are up to their profession. OnsERVER' Eastatoc Itelmis, Eastatoc is still moving along, though it is very dry.
