Jwaps and Jafts. ? The New Orleans Times-Democrat expresses the opinion that the cotton crop of 1883-84 is owned by the producers, and will leave more surplus money in the country than any cotton crop of recent years. ? The wire fence war will engage an extra session of the Texas Legislature. Some of the pastures are fenced without a break for forty miles or more, and the only choice left to travelers is either to drive two days' journey out of their way or cut the fences. ? Tax Collector T. J. Britton, of Hale county Ala., is reported to be a defaulter in the sum of $17,000. He declines to talk and will stand trial. His friends claim that he is guilty of no intentional wrong. The defalcation is said to extend back for several years. ? Georgia legislators do not mean to be imposed upon by base imitations of butter. The Legislature has just passed a bill obliging hotels which use oleomargarine to have displayed in their rooms, their offices and on their bills-of-fare the words, "This hotel uses oleomargarine." ? The ashes of Christopher Columbus, after having been moved from place to filace a half dozen times, are now to be aken out of their resting place in the cathedral of San Domingo and placed in a glass urn so that they may be visible to those whose curiosity may lead them that way. ? A young man in Georgia sent his sweetheart a boquet on Monday, and she thus wrote him: "Oh, the permeating aroma of that altogether too lovely exhuberance of nature inflated my inflatus and kindled in my soul a passion that time cannot obliterate." He immediately left for parts unknown. ? The Florida Times- Union says "Jefferson Davis is still under bonds to appear for trial for treason, and the Georgia law offering five thousand dollars reward for the head of William Lloyd Garrison is yet in force. What a lot of old political bric-abrac there is lying around this country, if one would only look it up." ? Suits had been pending in the Texas courts against the Houston and Texas Central Railwav CouiDanv for refusing to per rait colored people to ride in first class coaches. These suits have been dropped, the company agreeing to put special cars on for the accomodation of colored people, which cars are to be as good as those used for white passengers. ? Calculations based upon observations of the comet recently discovered by Mr. Brooks have just been completed by Professor Boss, of the Dudley Observatory. They show beyond a doubt that this comet is identical with the Pous comet of 1812, so long expected. The comet will reach its perihelion in January, and will be visible to the naked eye in December, perhaps sooner. ? Advices from Professor Nordenskjold's expedition to Greenland have been received. They state that the expedition started from Autlpikswick on the 4th of September and reached a distance of 360 kilometres inland, attaining a height of 7,000 feet above the level of the sea. This is the first time that human beings have penetrated so far into Greenland. The whole region is an ice desert, proving that there is no open water inland. ? The mass State convention of colored voters held at Columbus. Ohio, last Thursday, was captured early by the Democrats, ana afterwards reorganized by the Republicans, when the former bolted and two conventions were held. The bolters appointed delegates to the National convention, to be held at Louisville, September24, and adopted resolutions condemning the Republicans. The other convention refused to appoint delegates and endorsed the Republican ticket. ? The convention of the New York Democracy, to be held at Buffalo to-day, will be very largely attended. New York city will contribute a large quota of the attendance. Six hundred Tammany men have also purchased tickets, and the list will be swelled to one thousand. The Tammany train of drawing-room cars will be handsomely decorated, and the famous Seventh Regiment Band will furnish the music. The county Democracy will have a train of twenty cars to carry a delegation of five hundred, while another train will carry Irving Hall's delegation of three hundred. ? The recent suicide of Judge Mayo is one of the sad results of Mahone bossism in Virginia. He was a Democrat, but was persuaded oy nis sons, wno were .ueaujusters, to accept a judgeship under the present State administration, thinking of course that the ermine would shield him from political service. But he professed to a Norfolk clergyman just before he took his own life that he had been compelled to remove an official and make an appointment which grated upon his conscience, and afterward appeared to him to be in violation of law. His friends are satisfied that this act so preyed upon his mind that it produced insanity. ? The Legislature of Georgia has refused to pay the expenses of the funeral of the late Governor Stevens. Relying on the devotion with which the late Governor served the State, and the fact that he died while in an official position and without an immediate family, the State House officers and citizens of Atlanta went to considerable expense in giving him fitting burial. Over twenty military companies were in line at the funeral, and the coffin was of the same pattern as that in which President Garfield was buried. The bill for the payment of these expenses has been hanging fire for two months, the legislators higgling over the bills of musicians and undertaker* until it has grown into a public scandal. Last Friday the House sat down on the whole affair, leaving committees and private individuals to foot the expenses. ? Mr. Dewees, of Philadelphia, has originated a new theory of time keeping, which the managers of several railroads speak ol adopting. The twenty-four hours will be counted from one to twenty-four, and there will be no 1 o'clock, p. m., and a. in., for instead of that it will be thirteen o'clock, and so on. Here is what Mr. Dewees says about it:, "Anything more crude, uncertain and insufficient than the style now in use cannot be imagined. It is a relic of the dark ages, adoptad centuries before a railroad or telegraph was thought of. Modern progress demands something bettter adapted to the wants of our present advanced civilization. If my plan is adopted I think it will gradually extend throughout the world. I would take time from Greenwich Observatory, for it is the best time that exists. It is exact, constant and known, or ascertainable, everywhere." ? The election for Governor of Ohio, comes off October the 9th. Each party is doing its best, and it may be a tight pull between them. There is a big cjuarrel in Hamilton county, brought about by editor John McLean, of the Cincinnati Enquirer, who has a personal dislike to Senator Pendleton, but that affair will probably not interfere much with the result in the State. Up tothis time the German element is working with the democratic party, and should it vote solidly democratic the prospect is good for the State to go largely democratic; but on the other hand, if the German vote is equally divided, and the breach caused by McLean is not healed, the republicans will gain the victory. Some of the best stump speakers of the State in both political parties are doinc their best, and from all ac counts an enthusiasm has been aroused that is strikingly unusual. All eyes are now beginning to turn towards Ohio and the 9th of October will soon be here to tell the tale. ? Indiana has a female resident who ha* been five times tried and twice sentenced tc death for murder?but she still lives. She was released on a technicality, though subsequently sentenced to the penitentiary for another crime?perjury?in regard to certain financial transactrons, which are said to have caused her to dye her hands in the blood of Jacob and Nancy Young. The woman's name is Mrs. Nancy E. Clem. She has just finished a term of four years in the penitentiary for the perjury aforesaid. Her nerve, from the day she was arrested for murder up to three months ago, is said to have heen remarkable. It weakened through domestic causes only. Her husband, it appears, has always'stuck to hei until the last three months, when he abandoned her and obtained a divorce. She threatened revenge when the divorce was granted, saying she would make a confes ; sion that would implicate her husband in her various crimes. So far the confession remains unspoken, and the husband has | hied him away to the far "West. The woj man's son took her to his house, where she I will remain. She is now 53 years of age. | , lihc |JoflmUc (inquirer. VARtfVIM.K. K. r. I I THURSDAY MORNING, SEPT. 27, 1883. CHAMBERLAIN AND MAHONK. Ex-Governor Chamberlain, of South Carolina, now in New York, has written a long letter to ex-Representative Dezendorf, of Norfolk, in regard to the situation in Virginia. As an explanation for discussing the subject Chamberlain says he has, as a Republican, earned the right to express his views freely upon matters concerning the welfare of the party at the South. He then charges that the issue of the Readjuster or Mahone party is an avowed and shameless repudiation and political aggrandizement of its leaders, one of whom is the embodiment of bossism. Mahone, he says, is the prince of hucksters in public office. "It is not," Mr. Chamberlain says, "to the advantage r the colored people to ally themselves with the Repudiationists and political prostitutes. The men who court their votes for such ends will surely abandon them when their own selfish purpose requires it." This, however, is not the whole of the situation in Virginia. The Democrats, he says, present a hardly more reputable front on the question of public honor and good faith towards public creditors. The only course left to pursue is the one Dezendorf is understood to be pursuing, n steady, uncompromising opposition to botli Mahoneites and Democrats. "If," concludes Chamberlain, "the Administration at Washington is supporting or aiding Mahone it is an intolerable humiliation and wrong, and a special offence against civil service reform." AMERICAN BANKERS' ASSOCIATION. The next session of the American Bankers' Association, will be held in Louisville, Ky., on the 10th and 11th of October. Every bank and banker in the United States will be invited to attend the convention, . and S,000 invitations have already been sent out. The chairman of the convention will " be Mr. George S. Coe, of New York, who is president of the association. The Secretary of the Treasury, Commissioner of Internal Revenue, Comptroller of Currency, and Secretaries of State of the various States, have been invited, and favorable replies have been received from a large proportion of them. Mr. E. G. Spaulding, of Buffalo; General Echols, of Virginia; General Butts, of Mississippi; Hon. W. G. Deshler, of Columbus, Ohio, and several members of Congress are expected to hike part in the pro ceedings. The programme nas oeen arranged by committees of arrangements that have been meeting during the bust two weeks in Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Louisville and other cities of the South and West, as well as in New York and Boston. The time for sending in papers on financial questions has been extended, and several reports have been received by Secretary Marshland upon the progress of banking during the last year in various sections of the country, upon the best method of prevent ing losses to banking and commercial industries from the raising of checks, also upon the growing tendency of our banking system to increase its basis of capital since the repeal of the tax bn capital and deposits, and upon the power of banks to prevent panics. An important feature of the convention will be the discussion of these questions by extempore brief addresses, instead of by long, elaborately written papers. The Masonic Temple will be used for the sessions of the convention, and owing to the exposition at Louisville, it is expected that a large number of merchants will attend the open sessions. THE RAILROAD^COMMISSIOX AGAIN. A certain journal of this State which seems to be an especial apologist for the ltailroad Commission seems tothink that its "country exchanges," in criticising the work of said hr?orrl rlnn'l. tnnw what thpv are talk ill Lr about. We take it to ourself only our part of this modest hint. In the criticisms ice i have made we were guided by complaints made in three different localities of the State, widely separated?Yorkvilie, Camden and Pendleton. The Commission, through its Secretary, officially admitted the complaint from the lirst named place to be well founded. As to the other two places the said board has so far neither admitted nor denied the justice of the allegations, i As it is fair to construe silence into an admission we must conclude that the complaints and allegations from all three of the localities named are well founded and true. We did not and do not criticise the work of the Commission merely for the sake of criticism. We did so because we thought the schedule of freight charges had failed to . give the people that relief they had been led to expect. The task was regarded a difficult one, it is true, but gentlemen had been selected who were believed to be comi petent. They took their time. After the lapse of eight months the labors of theCom; mission were given to the public. While the local rates fixed were lower in some instances than they had been formerly? ; perhaps too low to be "just and reasonable" j to the railroad companies?there was a serious lack of consistency, as in other instances the rates were from 10 to 15 per cent, higher than they were before the creation of the Commission. Is it a matter of surprise ; then that there should be dissatisfaction ? | Is it strange, under these circumstances, : that even "country exchanges" should presume to make "criticisms?" We have not a word to say against the 1 j faithful exertions and unbiased intentions j of the gentlemen composing the Commis, I sion. We have no doubt but they tried to I adjust a fair and equitable schedule. But I did they do it? If they did not, why not? ; We suppose they can correct their errors, and we are told they stand ready and wil| ling to entertain any complaint when prop| erly presented; but are the people to wait ! three months, or four months longer for the 1 1 (ViimnicJmi tmmuMwl nnrl onrrpot, its work ? ; { There is one serious objection to the Rail! road Law for which the Commissioners are ! not responsible. We allude to that clause of said law requiring the several railroads to ; pay the salaries and expenses of the Commissioners. While we should seriously ob. ject to these expenses being paid out of the ! State Treasury, we think it unjust to require the railroads to pay eight or nine thousand ; dollars to officers appointed to serve the ! State. This is the law as it now stands, but is it equity??Laitrensviffe Hevuld. i Sweeping Changes in the Richmond ! and Dan vi lle.?Some anticipated changes in the Richmond and Danville Railroad, of an important character, are to be made by : the new managers. Mr. George E. Scott, [ one of the new managers, gave a reporter of i the New York World authority to say that !: the affairs of the road are to be put in a , more satisfactory condition. The amount i of the floating debt is $1,025,000, and it is , hoped that by retrenchment this will be [ | paid off in two years. Among other items 11 there is to be a saving of $78,000 in office ex?enses, and it is intended to abolish the New 'ork office. The company hold valuable securities of auxiliary and other corporations for a large sum, and it will receive over > $300,000 from these companies in a year. > A meeting of the new directors is soon to be held. ? BETHEL PRESBYTERY. Bethel Presbytery met in regular sessions at Blackstock on Saturday, the 15th inst. at 7.30 p. m., and adjourned on Tuesday to meet at Rock Hill on Friday before the first Sunday in April, 1884. The sessions were pleasant and lull of busy work. The reports from the Church show that nearly all were supplied with the regular ministry of the Word of God. In several congregations there has been a gratifying increase in the number of the communicants, and in many an increase in the number of attendants upon preaching and other public services. The whole prospect before us is hopeful. The executive committee were directed to arrange for the employ of an evangelist and report at the next stated meeting. Members of the church living within the bounds a different congregation from that in which their names are enrolled were urged to move their membership to the church in whose bounds their home is placed, and the sessions interested were directed to attend to the matter without needless delay. The seminary at Columbia and Davidson College?both of which are in ptirt under the oversight of this Presbytery?received due attention, and were l>oth reported as doing a good and growing work for the Church, and both maintaining the high reputation they have gained. Resolutions were passed commending both to the fostering care of the churches. The overtures sent by the General Assembly to the presbyteries were nearly all referred to special committees to report at the next meeting. An overture from the Fort Mill session asking "Can a church member be disciplined for dancing?" was answered in the affirmative. The Rev. J. PI. Thornwell was moderator and conducted the business of the body with much tact and skill. The sessions closed with a presbyterial prayer meeting, at which a large congregation was present and much interest manifested.? 1 Vinmboro News, 2W/i. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. LETTER FROM BLACK'S STATION. Black's Station, S. C., September 22.? I have been looking in vain, in the last several issues of the Exquikkk, for the accustomed letter of "Ego"; but, I suppose, like the "dear people," he wants a change, and the life and dash of the livery business have more attraction for him than literary pursuits. Until he favors us with another letter, I will attempt to fill up the interim with a few items from our little town. The weather has been very dry, and occasionally quit*; cool. We are now naving irequent showers, and the rain will be of great service to late corn, potatoes and turnips. The cotton crop is thought to be short, on an average at least one half, and some farms will make very little more than enough to pay guano bills. The corn crop is also light, probably not more than half as good as last year; but with the bulk of the wheat crop and the quantity of old corn in the country, there will not be any great scarcity of breadstuff's. The boom for improvement still holds sway at Black's. Several buildings have just been completed and others are in course of erection. Mr. I). D.Gaston has just finished a handsome and imposing two-story brick store-house on the corner of Shelby and Cherokee streets. It is large and capacious, and does credit to our place and to the enterprise and energy of Mr. Gaston. Black's bids fair to rival Yorkville as a cotton market; farmers who live from six to ten miles nearer the latter place, prefering to bring their cotton here. The Cherokee High School, under the efficient management of Rev. J. A. White, is in a flourishing condition, and has upon its rolls the names of nearly one hundred and twenty regular pupils. Mr. White is ably assisted by Miss Cleo Gardiner. The erection of an Episcopal Church edifice at this place is well on the way. A lot has been given, a liberal subscription made by the citizens, and the contract for building the church will be let out in a few weeks. Services are held here about once a month by Rev. J. I). McCullough. of Spartanburg. It is evident that our little place is having a healthy and steady growth. A good class of citizens are gathering in and building comfortable homes. The location of the town is healthy and picturesque. It is well laid out, and building lots are held at very reasonable prices. What we need most of all is good roads to the place. Our people are waking up on that question, and already something has been accomplished. One new road has been opened out, and several others are soon to be laid out and opened.

The Spartanburg municipal election will g be held on the loth of October. There is no prospect that any political question will divide the voters, andthe election will probably be a very quiet one.

The New York Herald thinks it would strengthen the Democratic ticket if General Gordon, General Hampton, Mr. Carlisle, or Mr. Randolph j Tucker could be nominated as Vice-President. The Western Union Telegraph 0 Company has issued an order reducing rates 11 in and between the Eastern and New Eng- t land States, to take effect October 1st. It is estimated by cotton experts who have in- j spected the growing crop of the south and south-west, that the yield this year will not exceed five million bales.

The United States Circuit Court, which t(] as been sitting for several weeks at < rreen- 11 ille, adjourned last Thursday. A large 11 umber of cases, several of which were etty and of a trivial character?violations . f the U. S. Internal Revenue laws?were j e,' isposed of. Before the adjournment of the j R 'ourt, District Attorney Melton, in a speech ? f some length, which is reported in the fries, referred to the abuses which exist in st lie administration of the revenue laws in [lis State, and suggested some plans for 'a neeting a reiorin. ouuge jiryan t-Apresscu ? imself as in full sympathy with the Dis-1 rict Attorney in the matter of correcting | buses, and issued an order that all persons z ii commission as deputy marshals prior j 3 the 25th of July last, not now in regular 1 am mission as such, who have in charge j (<l warrants of arrest issued prior to the 1st | ay of July, be required to forthwith re- _ urn the same to the office of the marshal f the district. Many of these warrants _ re alleged to be for offences not worth the ; ime of the Court, and issued for no other m Dnceivable purpose but to augment the 11 ?es of the deputy marshals. The warrants ! ^ 'ill all be examined and all of the charac- j s? :>r described thrown out. Grand and petit jurors were drawn for i d? special term to be held next February, nd for the next regular term commencing! to ext August. Of the grand jurors for the W pecial term, the following are citizens of rorkcounty: F.H.Barber, J. 1). Drake- ^ ml and 1). L. Black. The following citi- :$4 ins of York were drawn on the petit jury r the special term: Thomas Hartness and liarles Wilson, colored. For the August j rni, I). L. Witherspoon, colored, of York-' ille, was drawn to serve on the petit jury. . * w lio.uiriME. A homicide, in wlwch the victim and his ayer were both colored men, occurred L i McCaw's plantation, about ten miles ist of Yorkville, on j Saturday night last, cr, ate Massey was atJ the house of another sti ilored man, whose mime we did not learn, id at about s o'clock 1\ M., he stepped to ^ ie door to empty A basin of water, which > L' had just used lb/shaving. While stand- . "v ig in the door, tla* report of a gun from the j y(itside of the lioilse was heard, and the con- up nts lodged in Massey's thigh, severing an j 'J *tery, and he (Med from loss of blood about ! > I o'clock that fight. Trial Justice Fewell, i ? ' Hock Hill,meld an inquest on Sunday, id the verdi/t of the jury was that the demised came Jto his death from a gun shot ound inhioted by Fred Springs. The acised was arrested on Sunday and regularly |_ nnmitted to jail last Monday. Springs ?? dos not deny the shooting, though he claims [J* uit he did not lire with the intention to kill, eo ut only to wound his victim. The diffiilty originated about the wife of Springs. j,e RAILROAD MATTERS. The schedule of the Chester and Lenoir ?r Railroad was changed last Monday, the j,., ain leaving Newton at 5 A. M., and arri- sh ing here at 10.15. Returning from Ches- J" >r, the train arrives here at 4.35 P. M. WJ Mr. Z. Whittle, formerly loading clerk for kr le Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta RailDad at Chester, has been appointed conduc- ra )r on the Chester and Lenoir Railroad, in f" lace of conductor Rummel, who was re- jj* 2ntly suspended. Mr. John H. Moore, pa lso of Chester, has been appointed conducjr on the Cheraw and Chester Railroad, in ",! lace of W. W. Perry, resigned. ki The Lincoln Presx says that the author!- ,a ies of the Chester and Lenoir Railroad have tu ought the right to lay a third rail on the k? fnctorn V /' Ihiilrnnrl from Newton to !' lickory, paying for the same ?.350 per oi lonth. That paper says: "The rail will be 111 lid at once, and the trains will soon be runling through from Lancaster to Hickory, cc 'he road from Hickory to Lenoir will be apidly built, and it is thought will be com- te' leted bv November 1st." w . Pl A DISAPPOINTMENT. KI. There was quite a disappointment to a irge crowd of both sexes, who had as- or embled on the yourt House Squar^ last 8,1 ^riday night to hear an open air concert by lie Wizard Oil Company, who were passing ? lirough en route to Lancaster. Mr. Hurt, J lie manager, thought to gratify his friends ere by singing a few pieces, and for this v urpose drove out his carriage, not with ^ he intention of offering anything for sale. hi opening, the town marshal demand- ^ d a license fee of So. This Mr. Burt re- si ised to pay and the entertainment was ab- (h uptly brought to a close. To those who ^ fere disappointed on the supposition that he town council acted arbitrarily, it is but " ist to explain that there was a misunder- -* landing all round. The marshal was in- 1 tructed to collect a license fee only on conition that Mr. Burt offered hia medicine tr irsale. But he misinterpreted his instruc- a? ions, and thought he was to collect the fee _ ? Mr. Burt "exhibited"?this being the ord that gave rise to the trouble, each arty using it with a different meaning. ?ggg?gggj? ar The Postm aster-Gexeual and the ^ iOTTeries.?Last Wednesday, the followlg letter, which explains itself, was sent ~I om Washington by Postmaster-General o, rresham to the postmaster at New Orleans: ? "Since you were instructed to deliver no _ fgistered letters reaching your ofiice ad- 1 ressed to M. A. Dauphin, and to redeem no m 1 l~l ~ u: 1,. loney oruers puyauie luiuui, uc inw uncui- v> J an advertisement to be issued in certain ? ewspapers that all registered letters inrnded for him and concerning the Louisi- \ na State Lottery Company be addressed _Z ) the New Orleans, National Bank, at New rleans, and that all money orders sent to ? our office for his benefit and concerning T le business of said lottery company be w nule payable to said bank. I am in pos- 111 jssion of trustworthy information that _ lis bank has been and still is receiving " irough your office registered letters and loney orders for the benefit of M. A. Dau- z: bin, in pursuance of his published direcons. This is a defiant scheme oil the part i f M. A. Dauphin and the New Orleans n National Bank to evade the orders which ze ave been addressed to you by the Post- fu.1 rnster General in pursuance of the U. ?S. :atutes intended to protect the mails W) iirl thfi nnhlic nfrainst a business which is m icious and immoral, and which, in the en lain, preys upon the ignorant and credu- pa >us. This bank cannot be permitted to _ and in the shoes of M. A. Dauphin and uis enable him to accomplish indirectly > hat he is not allowed to do directly. \ [ereafter, therefore, you will deliver to the to lew Orleans National Bank no registered itters and redeem no money orders paya- ? le to it, but deal with the same as directed _ y the order of this Department of Novem- 1 er l.'l, 1879. This order will be revoked w henever the bank gives satisfactory evi- in ence that it has abandoned the above & heme." t'1 In addition to the above, the Postmaster reneral has issued a supplementary lottery rder directing postmasters to infown pares who remit postal money orders to 31. ih l. Dauphin, of the Louisiana Lottery Com- te any that the payment of such orders will f\l e returned to the senders. Postmasters T1 re also directed to return all registered jV itters addressed to 31.
