Residents of many parts of New England are still lamenting the low stage of water in the streams and wells and are hoping for copious rainfalls before cold weather fairly sets in. Complaints of protracted drought also come from Georgia. ? Nearly a million people visited tne Louisville Exposition, and the city's business for the year was increased thereby over $19,000,000.'

It is said that nearly 36,000,000 trade dollars have been coined, of which 30,000,000, or thereabouts, are in China and Japan, and are carefully hoarded by the natives. Of the $6,000,000 in America, nearly all is held by speculators who bought them considerably below par, and are now making up a strong lobby to induce Congress to redeem them and convert them into standard dollars. ? The business failures of the week ending last Friday, throughout the United States and Canada, as reported to R. G. Dun & Co.'s Mercantile Agency, number 247 as compared with 235 the preceding week. Three-fifths of the failures occurred in the Western Southern and Pacific States, leaving the Eastern and Middle States rather below the average of the weeks. ?

The South Atlantic States do not generally go without frost until November. In 1881 there was a damaging frost in the tirst week of October. In 1877 there was no frost until November, and the winter following was unusually mild. The weather prophets, are, therefore, predicting a mild winter in all the Southeastern section of the country. There are said to be other indications of a moderate winter. ? Justice Harlan, of the United States Supreme Court, has filed his dissenting opinion in the civil rights cases. He bases his dissent on the ground that the minority decision does not give full effect to the intent with which the constitutional amendments were adopted. The "intent" was to harass and annoy the Southern whites?and Judge Harlan doubtless maintains his side in an astute manner. ? Mahone has issued a very long and somewhat ridiculous document which is intended to be a manifesto, but is really only the usual defeatedcandidate'sexplanation somewhat distended. He charges that the Dem ocraxs ODtuinea meir zo,uuu mtyoritv uy systematic bulldozing and murder, and appeals to his constituency and the public generally to rally for 1884, and pull himself and Riudleberger out of the mud. ? The bill striking out the word "male" from all election laws passed the'Council of Washington Territory Legislature in session at Olympia, Wednesday, by a vote of 75. It passed the lower House several weeks ago by 15 to 17 majority. Gov. Newell has expressed the intention '_o sign the bill, and there is no doubt it will become a law in the regular time?sixty days*. The first opportunity the women will have to vote will be at the general election next November. ? The citizens of Danville, Va., have, through a committee of 40 appointed for the purpose, taken and published the evidence regarding the riot there. From this it appears that the negroes, inflamed by incendiary speeches and believing that the municipal government was at their back, made - a fisticuff between a black and white man the pretext for a display of firearms and a challenge to combat, which was accepted, resulting in a generrd shooting and the wounding of thret whites and three negroes, and the killing of four negroes. ? One of the natural curiosities of Hernando county, Florida, is an immense live oak, situated near Brookville, which, seven feet from the ground, measures thirty-five and one-half feet in circumference; from this height to the top it has but two large limbs, the limbs spreading out, and at the top measuring eigiiiv yuiu?i?;u.KV5. Mnwucnmr of this singular work of nature is a small orifice, from which issues a continual stream of cold air, showing some subterranean connection that is unaffected by what is going on above the surfacevof the ground. ? In Augusta, Ga., last Thursday morning, the Rev. Cadesman Pope, pastor of St. James Methodist Church, left two of his children, a girl of eight and a boy of four years, in a buggy while he paying a pastoral call *in Hamburg. The horse became frightened and ran at full speed upon the South Carolina Railroad Bridge across the Savannah River. After going some distance upon the erossties nis legs slipped through and one of them was broken. The girl was thrown under the horse and painfully hurt, and the boy fell through the trestle and was seriously injured. ? At Philadelphia, last Friday, the jury in the suit of Mary O'Connor against Samuel G. Keeley, the Manayunk manufacturer, to recover damages for personal injuries, rendered a verdict in favor of the plaintiff for $10,000. The girl was employed at defendant's mill, and when a fire broke out in December, 1882, she was compelled, in the absence of a fire escape, to jump from a window in an upper story to save her life. Iler injuries were of so serious a character as to disable her for life and necessitates the use of crutches. It was shown that the board of fire escapes had notified the owner of the building to erect a'n escape, but he had failed to do so. ? The Circuit Court jury at Jerseyville, Illinois, are now considering thei** verdict in the case of Mrs. Kingston, the wife of a physician there against several saloon keepers for damages. The complaint alleges that her husband's practice has been neglected and ruined in consequence of his heavy drinking in saloonsowned by defendants, and as a result she has been compelled tntnkp in wnshin.<? to suonort herself and family. The case lias been continued, with six lawyers and 100 witnesses, until the costs now are about $8,000. Judge Hardman has ordered that the jury be supplied with only temperance diet for supper and breakfast during the time they are out. ? It is reported that Postmaster General Gresham will recommend that the limit of single postage be fixed at an ounce instead of half an ounce, as at present. He thinks that while this will not add materially to the weight of letters to be carried through the mails, it will do away with much dissatisfaction arising from the uncertainty as to the weight of letters mailed. Nine letters out of ten are under the half ounce, while of the remaining ones the larger proportion are but an insignificant fraction above it, which subjects them to double postage, simply because the writers could not accurately fix the weight. If the ounce limit were adopted these uncertainties would be done away with and the government would not suffer thereby. ? A meeting of the stockholders of the Wilmington and Weldon and of the Wilmington, Columbia and Augusta Railroads, was held in Wilmington on Tuesday of lasf week. Concerning the projected branch road from Wilson, N. C., to Florence, S. C., the stockholders of the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad adopted the following: "Whereas, in view of the evils which have grown out of the legislation of some of the Southern States, whereby stockholders have been practically deprived of the management of their own roads, and of the dangerous agitation of the same subject in North Carolina. Resolved, That all .consideration of the subject of constructing a branch road from the Wilmington and Weldon road ir the direction of Florence, S. C., be for the present postponed." ? A dispatch from Birmingham, Ala. November 25th, says: A negro named Lew is Houston, charged with the attemptec outrage on Thursday night of a respectable widow lady of this city, was arrested oi Friday night. He was found at work ii the roundhouse of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad shops and was taken bv the officers to the residence of his intended vic| tim who identified him. He was then placed in the county jail. At 10 o'clock ' j last night, a party of *150 masked men overI powered the jailor and took Houston to a negro settlement in the suburbs of the city and hanged him to a pine tree. He was allowed five minutes to pray and make a ' satement. He protested his innocence to the last. The whole affair was conduet ed quietlv, and in less than half an hour the mob had dispersed. ihc f orMIe YORKVILLE, 8. ('. : THURSDAY MORNING, NOV. 29. 1883. THE ELECTION CASES. The United States Circuit Court met in Columbia last Monday, and in anticipation of the work before them, District Attorney Melton and his assistant, Emory Speer, of Georgia, arrived in the city?the former on | Saturday and the latter on Sunday. Speer brought with htm two men?supposed to be assistants of the assistant?and two typewriting machines. So, probably all that may be said and done in the "machinecourt" will be carefully and accurately recorded by machinery. District-Attorney Melton came to Columbia direct from Washington, viaCharleston, and was called upon at his office by a representative of the Register. To the reporter he was quite affable and informed him that a large number of the election cases are ready for trial, and that they would be called 011 the second day of the term?last Tues (lay. Tiie iiius cuuuuues iu? repin-L of the interview with Attorney Melton: There are thirteen cases from Charleston, Marion and Fairfield, and it is likely that i these will be first tried. In answer to an inquiry as to the relation which the Georgia lawyer, Emory Sneer, sustains to the case, Judge Meltoti said that a strangely false impression had been made on the public mind on this point by the Washington correspondents of various newspapers, who had stated that Speer had been placed in charge of the cases. Of course this is not true. Speer has been assigned as assistant attorney; and Judge -Melton wants it distinctly understood that he is to be responsible for the conduct of these prosecutions and will "have his reward" for their management, whether it be of glory or of shame. He did not know at what point in the progress of the trial Mr. Speer would put in his appearance, as he is very much en??/visn/i Kit. nu-n in Atlanta.. ?> uii 1**0 V??I. .?*?vv.w 7 but the trials would proceed all the same, without reference to the Georgia lawyer's connection with them. Judge Melton expressed a perfect willingness to furnish any matters of information proper for publication respecting the cases, such as the names of the parties, the specific charges against them, Ac., but as his papers had not yet reached him from Charleston, he was at present unable to do so. The Columbia correspondent of the Xeus and Courier says the Court was formally opened on Monday, and after the call of the petit jurofcs they were dismissed until Tuesday morning 011 account of the non-arrival of Judge Bryan. He was expected on Monday night, and Judge Bond on Tuesday. Of the twenty-seven jurors who answered to their names, fifteen are * Democrats. There are none from York county. Two of the jurors are John Agnew, of Columbia, and W. W. Russell, prominent Greenbackers. The services of a grand jury will be dispensed with during this term, as the proceeding will be on "informationand belief." The State Democratic Executive Committee, at a meeting on Monday night, devoted some time to a consideration ofthe political persecutions in the United States Court, and passed a resolution requesting the Legislature to make an appropriation of ten thousand dollars, if so much be necessary, for the defence of the State officers of election who are prosecuted by the United States for nurfiiMYiiiKp tlw.ir flntip? a.ponrdintr to law. fv'i iv'. "lv" n - - - PLANTERS IN COUNCIL. The annual Convention of the Cotton Planters' Association of America, having for its object the devising of ways and means to improve the condition of all agriculturists who live and work on Southern soil, convened in Vicksburg, Miss., on Wednesday of last week. There was a large attendance of delegates from all the Southern States, and a number of capitalists and manufacturers from Northern and Eastern States. lne c onvention was caueu to oruer uy Col. Frank C. Morehead, president of the Association. lie then introduced the Rev. C. K. Marshall, who in an eloquent and fervent prayer invoked God's blessing upon all present and upon the deliberations to follow. The President next introduced ex-Chief J ustice Simroll, who delivered an address of welcome on behalf of the citizens of Vicksburg. The address, which was eloquent and practical, was frequently interrupted by applause. He was followed by Governor llobt. Lowry, who extended a cordial welcome to the delegates on the part of the State of Mississippi. The delegation from South Carolina in the Convention numbers fifteen. Of these Mr. J. A. Leland has been placed on the committee on resolutions, Mr. L. A. Ransom 011 the committee on credentials, and Mr. J. W. Wofi'ord on the committee on order of business. On Thursday, after an hour devoted to routine business, Major Rama, of Atlanta, Ga., delivered an address upon the subject of cotton, its history, growth of the industry, and improved methods of planting. Prof. Myers, State Chemist of the Mississippi Agricultural College, spoke at length | upon the subject of cotton seed, its products and its value for seeding, oil and fertilization, giving exhaustive details from a strict ly scientific standpoint, showing its value to planters and the diversity of products obtained from it. After the technical description was ended, the professor gave figures of the enormous percentage of profits realj ized by oil mills at the expense of planters. . j lie described the simple methods of clarifying crude oil, of which he exhibited many samples, and advised the association to establish mills of its own. Soap made from crude and refined oils was also exhibited, the latter equaling white Castile. The pro| fessor stated that the fact was developed in a recent suit in Chicago that cotton seed oil was largely mixed with tallow and sold as i lard. He reduced all scientific details to i simple money value for the better coin pre' hension of his audience. , i Thos. Pray, Jr., of Boston, editor of Cot> {ton, Wool and Iron, spoke of the diversity s! of interests in cotton, and advised a moredi j rect intercourse between planters and spin"! ners, and the organization of State com mi tI i tees from members of the association for the L j purpose of co-operation in improving the II quality of the staple by advanced methods >j of cultivation. Mr. Pray has carefully studied cotton in the field four consecutive > I years, and inteiested the audience greatly :: when describing the results of examinations 4 made by him over all the cotton belts. He t took issue with all those who said the South i I needed the assistance of capital, claiming I that the soil and climate were all sufficient. | ' Planters ought to have their sons taught the ' mechanical arts instead of the learned pro-i | fessions, thus saving the paying of big sala- , i ries to trained Northern men. Mills had j failed because of the inexperienced men | who managed them. To be successful ma - i - ; chinery repair shops should be established. J | Some Southern men have already done this, i and instances were cited where their sons j, ! had passed through all grades at the Lowell w machine works, and received training that |j enabled them to fill places of the highest h responsibility. tl When he had concluded, the venerable Ex-Governor Patton, of Alabama, arose and k warmly thanked Mr. Pray, saying that for P fifty years he had advocated that policy, " and was happy to know it was at last favor- ni ably considered. John Chaffee, a New Orleans banker, com- t( plimented both speakers, and told of a young 11 man of his city who had had some expe- P rience, and was now superintendent of an j, extensive iron establishments on a large ai salary. The three speakers were frequently applauded. The afternoon session was addressed by Hon. A. .1. McWhirter, Commissioner of Immigration. lie is President of the society recently organized at Louisville composed of leading men from every Southern State. He .spoke of misapprehensions ex isting in foreign lands respecting the South, ' which are due to the publications of the T agents of the land grant roads interested in j selling lands in the West. Maps with black spots marked "yellow fever," were employed to frighten foreigners from the South. He advocoted the establishment of connections with foreign transportation companies u and departments for immigrants at Southern ports. b A. W. Crandall, of Louisiana, chairman, b read the report of the committee on resole.- j' tions. Those adopted related to the world's ft exposition, desiring the co-operation of the I] States in memoralizing Congress for an ap- " propriation sufficient to enable several State s is and Territories to make collective exhibits 11 illustrative of the resources of the whole ,.] country, also inviting the government to make exhibits by heads of department, sim- ^ ilar to those of the Philadelphia centennial, v and asking Congress to make an appropria- V tion sufficient to cover the expense. F. C. Morehead, of Vicksburg, was re- Ui elected President for the sixth consecutive il] term ; Permanent Secretary, T. P. Grashy, ^ of Yieksbunr: Treasurer. W. A. Pollock, of (ireenville, Miss. ? " 11 The State Baptist Convention.?'The State Baptist Convention met in the city of si Charleston on Wednesday of last week. s< There was a pretty full attendance and the }'' Convention proceeded to business without delay. Col. \V. B. Edwards, of Darlington, j',1 presided with his accustomed courtesy and Jtl dignity. At precisely quarter-past iuociock the president rapped the Convention to or- si tier and opened the exercises by reading the ('r S-lth Psalm : "How amiable are Thy tabernacles, O Lord of Hosts." This was followed by the singing of the Hymn beginning "Oh God, our help in ages past," etc., and with prayer by the Rev. J. C. Furman, i). 1)., of Greenville. The delegates from the p several Associations were then enrolled, hi the delegate from York Association being ti Rev. J. K. Covington. After the enroll- 11 ment of delegates the annual election of oflicers was held with the following result: *} President, Col. W. B. Edwards, of Darlington. Ol Vice-president, Air. T. P. Smith, of M Charleston. 1,1 Secretarv, Rev. Luther Broadus, of Newberry. ' Assistant secretary, Mr. A. B. WoodruiT, t,' of Spartanburg. ii Treasurer, Professor C. II. Judson, of ti Greenville. The annual sermon was preached by Rev. n; Charles Manly, of Greenville, after which V! several matters of business were taken np and dispatched. n, Thursday's exercises were of an interest- oi ing character, being devoted mainly to the ui celebration of the two hundredtli anniversa- P1 ry of the organization of the first Baptist tc church in Charleston. sl On Friday reports of various boards were received and several questions were ably ni .1? 1 4.1.^ ?u K/^?*?m;o^anl, (llSCUSSeu?II1U \> Ul K Ui inline m1.-5n1vn1.-3 ur- u< ing one of the most important subjects presented, and one which received the earnest 11 attention of the entire Convention. On Saturday a number of reports were submitted, among them one on woman's Vj mission work, and on the work of the State mission board. tj The report of the committee to nominate the executive board was adopted after some e: discussion. It recommends that the lotation of the board be at Greenville, with the S{ following officers: Charles Manly, presi- i>, dent; C. II. Judson, vice-president; James A. Hoyt, auditor; Richard II.

Beauregard's History of the War.?The announcement is made that the History of the War, to the preparation of which Gen. Beauregard has for some years been giving his attention, will be published during the winter. ^ Since it was first known that Gen. Beauregard had determined upon the publication of such a work, it has been expected with general interest by the public, both North and South. Able and distinguished critics who have seen the manuscript characterize " it as a fascinating book, and the most inter- " esting and important contribution yet made rc by any Southern writer to the history of the late war, and say that it throws totally new t\ light upon many events hitherto imperfect- ft ly understood or wholly misunderstood. A most capable and discriminating critic is e< the Hon. Charles A. Dana, the editor of the d< New York ,Sitn} who savs: "It is, in my B judgment, a very valuable and important . work. It sets forth facts hitherto unknown ]v or unappreciated. It sheds new and valuable light on controverted questions, and it a] narrates in a simple, unaffected, easy and engaging style, the story of the most importaut facts of the great struggle. It isespe- sj cially worthy of commendation for the mod- ' eratfon and freedom from excitement with which it discusses points that have been the subject of embittered disputes in the hands of other writers.

The Charlotte Observer of Thursday, has * iie following concerningthe Air-Line Railed embezzlement: The trial of Mr. J. E. Adams, late ticket gent of the Richmond & Danville Railroad, nd Capt. Oscar Nesbit, late conductor on 1 lie Air-Line road, that was set for a hearng before the Inferior court to-day, will not e heard, having been continued to the next erm of the court by reason of a confession, nd of a sudden, startling turn in the aspect f the ease, involving other parties besides ulams and Nesbit. Tuesday night, Judge elienck, the leading prosecutor for the raiload company, was approached in his room t the Buford House by Mr. Adams, who roceeded to unbosom himself and make a nil and clear confession of his connection /ith the frauds practiced upon the railroad. )f what passed between the two, the reportr was able to learn but little, though what ie gives comes from authority. Mr. Adams tnted to J udge Schenck that he had come to nake a full confession of his guilt, knowing Dill li would do proven on mm ux uie mui, ml that he mightjustaswell give itup. He aid that he had considered the matter and /as further advised by his friends to make he confession and throw himself upon the lercy of the court. The confession was nade in a straight forward manner, and in iving his statement, Adams involved othrs in the swindling with himself. Just /ho these parties are, and to what extent hey were involved in the affair, we were nable to learn, but were given the assurnee that it will all* come out soon enough, alums' confession is in the possession of udge Schenck and it will be used whenevr it is seen proper. ^ This confession gave a new aspect to the use, and yesterday Adams was summoned efore the grand jury who proceeded to take is testimony. Upon statements made in his testimony, the grand jury drew up a rue bill of indictment against Capt. James IcCool, a former Air-Line conductor. Mr. idarns was then required to give a bond of 1,000 for his appearance for trial at the next arm of the court. Capt. Xesbit was required 3 give two bonds of $o00 each, and the case /as continued until the next court, when ew developments are expected. "The railroad company has got at the Dck bottom facts in the case," said the pros- ' cution to a reporter yesterday evening, and more than Adams and Xesbit will be aught." The railroad's attorneys state hat part, but not all of the money will be ecovered by the company. It was on the 1st-of last July that a genine commotion was caused in this commuity when a constable brought the ticket gent Adams and conductor Xesbit before ustice Waring in this city, and a charge of mbez/Jement was preferred against them. 'he surprise of the people was genuine, for oth the parties not only bore good chancers, but stood well in the community, and 3 suspicion either of them of dishonesty /ould have been regarded its an open insult. 'he railroad company charged that they au oeen systematically swindling uie aimany of money for about two years previous 3 the day of their arrest. The ticket agent as charged with selling tickets to Atlanta rithout stamping them, the conductor with iking them up without punching them and eturning them to the agent, the two pockting the money. The conductor was also harged with collecting cash fares and not sturning the cash to the company. These harges were preferred against them before lie magistrate, and after a preliminary investigation they were released on bond for rial by the Inferior court. At the last term he case was continued to the present term, 'lie confession of one of the parties now foldws and new developments in the sad case re expected. A subsequent issue of the Observer says : Besides the three parties whose names ave already been given to the public, the iiilroad claims that there are four others ' triplicated in the swindling, and that at the ext term of the Inferior court there will be mighty "shaking up of the dry bones." VTho the other parties are, the prosecution oes not care to state at the present time, lailroad men tell us that Capt. Jim McCool s merchandising in Georgia. Adams has elivered up his personal property, consistig of a fine horse and buggy and set of liaress, a wagon and harness, to Capt. J. J. formley, general depot agent in this city. The confession of Adams was voluntary, nd his friends say he had sufficient grounds ' ( ir his action. J NORTH CAROLINA NEWS. ?
