The Little Book Brought Oat. Cottonbia, May *25.?The secret of the mysterious little book lias just leaked out. notwithstanding the vigilant and scrutinous care of the committee. I don't know who it is, but some- 1 body has seen it, else how can I say that it is a I private memorandum book kept by Dr. Jackson, formerly book-keeper of the Republican Printing Company, and that it contains memoranda said to be memoranda of moneys paid out by the Ke- 1 . jp? -publican Printing Company to Senators, Kepre- I senlatives and others. The man who saw it says , * that among other names in the mysterious little ( book arc the following : Ex-Treasurer Cardoso, 917,500 { ex-Governor Mosee, $15,090; Senators Nash, 8wails and Wbi^emore $5,1)00 each, and aboat one hundred Senators and- members of H?s Ifouss smaller sums. I forgot to say , that the same man says Tim Hurley is booked ] for $7,000 or $0,000, he forgets which. In the i meantime the book is safely locked up in the pos- j session of the chairman of the investigating com- j roittee, and will not be examined until the com- , ibitteo meets to-morrow, at 10 o'clock. From the nroceedinea of the Senate of the 25th we extract the following.- 1 Senator Dowen, in behalf of the investigtiog ' committee, submitted a report setting forth that . they had been told that J. M. McKay had the book that he had admitted the fact, and hai ( "been served with a subpoena duces tecum ; that ( McKay had gone off with the ostensible purpose ( of procuring the book and had theu stated that ( "he did not have it. The committee, therefore, ( asked that the Senate take such action as would protect the dignity and authority of the body. Senator Witherspoon offered a resolution instructing the sergeans-at-arms to arrest McKay ( for coutempt and bring him before the bar of t the Senate. This was at once adopted, and in ( Jess than t wenty minutes the recalcitrant witness < stood at the bar of the Senate in the custody of j the Sergcnnt-at-Arms. lie was accompanied by , Mr. Ed. J. Maxwell, who appeared in the charracier of counsel. I Senator Dowen said that after Mr. McKay had | gone to Abbeville, to get the book, he said he had | given it to Mr. Maxwell, the man who now rep- < resents him as counsel. j Senator Gary moved that Mr. MoKaybe placed , in ine same ceil wun ms iriena 1'eter 1'apin, and ( be kept there until he disgorged. [Sensation, < and dismay on thapart of MoKay,] t Sammy Green expressed his doubt whether ( the'Senate could forc~*a inan to produce portable ( property, which belonged to another man. The i facts are, "he said," "that the book is down t town now, undergoing some changes." Senator } Gary renewed his motion to incarcerate McKay, j (Renewed signs of demoralisation on McKay's c part.) "It must be evident," he said, that this <j man is trifling with the patience and dignity of ( the Senate. If the book contained the revela- f ^ tion of a fraud, the parties who aro attempting to conceal it are participants in these frauds. Mr. Maxwell, Mr. McKay's counsel, asked to be heard. 1 Senator Gary : "I object. He is as guilty as i >! - his client." I iMr. Maxwell being allowed to apeak, said be 1 had the book, and was as much interested . < ? < pressing the investigation as any Senator on this * floor. He war, ready now, and always was ready, ? to produce the book. He only wanted time to r exonerate his client. t Senator Cochran : "We'll, exonerate him 1 now, if he produces the book." * f Then Swails took a hand, and along wrangle f ; ensued, which was finally settled by the adoption of Senator Crittentenden's resolution that further g . '-time be granted,provided the book was firstdeliv- t ercd into the hands of the chairman of the com- v it inttee. This being adopted, Mr. Maxwell retired, i . Mr. McKay woe bundled off to a side seat, in the t f?*-Oustody of the Sergeant-at-Arms. t In ltss than half an hour Mr. Maxwell re- a turned. Then there was a hurried whisper, and o '' . .Senator Cochran announced that the long looked a A /or book had been delivered into the hands of .the chairman of the committee. Mr. McKay was then released from custody I1 until to-morrow, and took his departure, smiling 1 kjt wv wiihvvi vjiwi J . mt iy \zVTI9 fnCJVC, f 8 The United States Jury Commissioner has I ^ drawn the following named persons from this / /* county to serve as jurors upon the trial of the o Kllenton coses : W. V. Doris, Mitchell Goggins, c James McCravey, L. L. Gutfin, Elias Tolbert, t J. A. Spencer, C. B. Reynold, J. K. McKellar, ' Nelson Brooks, lvcrson Reynolds and Alfred I Butler. There is not o respectable, decent, 1 straightforward, honest uian on the list, white I or block. A meaner, more desperate, deprorcd I set of unprincipled political partisans, ignorant, 1 scheming, rulgor rowdies, could not have been 1 found from Maine to Mexioo. Davis was once indicted for forgery ; McCrovey is now under bond of $400 to appear at the Court of Sessions for this county for malicious trespass; Guflin 0 has been the leader of the Radical party in this county for years, and has always exercised him- J self to keep the races apart, tnd so on down the list to the very last man. They are all lacking 1 in intelligence, are very bitter in their political c partisanship, hold no interst in common with * the people, and are conspicuous in their antagonism to the white race. These are the men sc- " lected to try the Kllenton cases, and we may con elude at once what their verdict will be.?.46Jteville Medium. 1 The Sunday School World for May appears in ^ ^a neat cover, into which is packed the usual ""frinriber and variety of valuable articles found ' iu this excellent Sunday school monthly. Rev. 9 ('has. S. Robinson, D. D., treats of ''Lesson ' Helps;" Rev. George E. l'ost, Syria, of "The c Fig Tree ;" Rev. Win, Ormiston, D. D., sketches 1 the character of "Klisha ;" Mrs. W. F.

Added to these are Dr. John Hull's Lessons, Mrs. 1 Knox's "I'rimary Talks;" Lessons Applied; a ( Bible Concert Exercise, and the usual Editorials, 1 malt Sficr on ini ahau! inwahioJ . ..ft, ?u .iiivi TilllCU UIIU THIUmilC amount of rending for the Sunday school woiIter which he would And it difficult to procure : elsewhere at three times the cost ol The World. 1 TiikCharlkston Dki.ko ition.?Mr. Orr, from ' the Committee on Ways and Means and the Ju- < diciary Committee, reported on the Charleston ? case, ai d recommended that Mackey, ilrodie el ' al. be not seated, because there existed in that ' county so much violence, intimidation and fear ' that no fair election was held. 1 Mr. Milier, from the same commiMwe. submit- ' ited a minority report, recommendinj^tnat the delegation be seated on purging themselves of the contempt. Both reports were made the special order for < Tuesday, at 12 o'clock. ( As the latest reports wc receive from the Legislature previous to putting our paper to press are only to Monday, we cannot tell what was ?* .done in the matter by that body. SuooTi.Nr, Cask in Marion.?The Marion Met chant and Farmer says : "On Inst Friday night, 1 about U o'clock, Stephen Met'away,colored, bet- ' tcr known here as 'John, the barber,' ficsh from the hanging of Ilurgoyne, being in liquor, got 1 into an altercation with Mr. C. Hoffman. The fracas being over, John left Hie store making threats. Hoffman, supposing he had gone, some time afterwards closed his store, and was sitting on his steps talking to Mr. J. II. Flowers.? I Suddenly John appeared before him with his gun levelled. Hoffman hastily rose up and 1 ^ turned as if to enter the door, which was shut, < and recoivad fifty-three small shot and slugs into i his back. Though painfully wounded, Mr. Hoffman's condition is not serious." , African Amknitika.?A party of gentlemen went up the Cooper Kiver last week and stopped at a place occupied and plmitod by negroes.? After they had pi;ked as many berries as they wanted, they made preparations to depart, when they were invited by several colored women to partake of a fine dinner which hud been prepared for thein. They regretted that the gen*" had not brought ladies with them, nnd handsome bouquet of flowers to B h-v 1rcv's" ?m J PW ! Ml I ?? ***** Among the Western Excursionists who passed through this State a few days ago were two brothers, by the namo of M< uus, relatives of the Means and Fosters of this and Spartanburg Counties. They stopped at Union on their way to Spartanburg, and onr friend, Capt. A. II. Foster, made their acquainlauce and claimed relationship to thetn. He also went to Spartanburg with them, where they met the venerable mother of Captain Foster and many other relatives who they had never seen before. The Editor of the Spartanburg Herald thus speaks of these gentlemen: ' Tlicee brothers, now advanced in years,'one accompanied by a sou, paid Spartanburg a visit last week and went out to the old homestead of their father, where Col. Jno. M. Crook now lives, and seemed to takn trrent inUrMi in via. itiug the scenes of their boyhood days. They are relatives of the Means and Fosters of this place, who moved to Ohiein 1817 or 1818 carrying their slaves with them, whom they set free after reaching Ohio. One of them cauie back on a visit to this State some forty-five years ago, but found few friends living with whom he met then Dr. C. P. Woodruff, an old acquaintance who visited their father in 1830, called to see them while here, and they met Qen. James Crook, an old school mate. With these two exceptions all with whom they met were new faces. Line of them lives in Ohio and the other in Kentucky. Both are engaged in the iron business, iu which they have amassed immense fortunes. Srnator Butler's Conduct at the Capture >r Chambers bubo.?The Philadelphia Time* tays: "Mr. G. K. Mcssersmith, who wasabank :ashier at Chambersburg at the time Gen. Jeb. Stuart raided that place, has written a letter to Senator M. C. Butler, of South Carolina, who was one of tho raiding party, which letter is full >f the spirit of good will which the President's policy has inspired. Mr. Messersmith says that ong ago he decided that as soon as all irritating races cf the war were obliterated he would write 3en. Butler and thank him for his kind and gentle treatment of his family, at the trying time when Chambersburg was in the hands of the Confederates. 'Now,' says Mr. Mcssersmith, that President Hayes has reloased the lost of he States from military rule, I deem it a fitting iccasiou to do so, and to assure you of my plcasint recollection and good wishes, and to say to rou now, what 1 could not say 'when last we uet,' that I would be g>ad to see you at my tome, where a warm and cordial greeting will dways await you.' This is a good kind of reconliliation, and Mr. Messersmith's letter will loubtless give Senator Butler a somewhat differmt character than he has had in the eyes of nost Northern people." Morton Mollified.?Indianapolis, May 'Jo. --Senator Morton has written a letter defining lis position on the questions of the day. He varmly indorscsthe policy of the administration, >ut insists that the Republican governments of jpuisianaand South Carolina have been overturnid by an armed minority. He admits that in any weut Republicans would have lost these States, is a majority of the negroes did not carry the noral force that the white minority did. He lelieves that the administration of President tajcs wilt Bland by the principles of the llelublican parly, and for one, he willnotbe found ighting among his opponents. The extremists among the Republicans are ;reatly excited and demoralized to day by Moron's letter on the Southern question. They rcre counting on hitn to oppose the President a Congress. The effect of the letter is to make hem believe that Kellogg has no chance of geting his ?eat. Democrats characterize the letter .8 an act of coerced loyalty to the President, in rder to retain his hold on the public patronage, ,nd thus promote his re-election. Cattle Thieves Caught.?It affords us pleasire to announce that Capt. Alley has succeeded n capturing that notorious scoundrel, Jno. Jrown together with another thief, (Sam Pil;rim by name). On Sunday night Dr. A. Walace Thrmsou lost three of his cattle in Union. I telegram to Ciipt. Allay on Monday put liini >n the look out, and on Tuesday the cattle were aptured from the thieves, j They had been taken o Greenville by Brown & Pilgrim. John and iom returned to'.Spartanbirg at night but found Uley and a cell in the jail nil ready for them. Irown had an English pistol in his possession, t is believed tbnt an organized band has long icen in existence. Di. Thompson, alone, has ost in the last few years between forty and fifty lend.- Spartan. Take Moke than One Chance.?No good ttrmer in these days risks his all on the chanco if one crop. If you notice, all the staple crops >re now ruling low; tobacco, cotton, corn, peatuts?all are down. The only staples that nre lolding up are wheat and hay. Thcstaplesnre tot likely to advance much, for lnrgc quantities if the old crops nre still on hand. If the farmir will first take care to raise his meat and bread, lis fruit and vegetables, his manures and stock it home, he will be safe, and may then venture o make a specialty of some one staple as a crop. 3ut never let your interest in the market crops :ausc you for a moment to neglect home supplies.

Wab to tub Knifh.?Some ten days ago a dificulty occurred on our streets between Mr. Alf. r.jl'eete and Wm. Magill Fleming, the belliger nits being separated by the town marshal. It teems, however, that Fleming was not satisfied, is he nttacked Mr. Peete, on Saturday Jas?, with i knife, inflicting a severe, but not dangerous, >vound in the right breast. A warrant for "Aslault with intent to kill" was taken out ngninst Fleming who was lodged in jail, where he renamed until Sunday, at which time he was mailed out, in the sum of three hundred dollars. ?Spartan.
