of law, in the county jail, of Philadelphia,
Pa., on the morning of the 4th instant,
for the murder of his mother-in-law. McGinnis
was a Catholic and his wife a
Protestant. This caused domestic trouble

for years in that portion.
? Work on the construction of the main
building of the World's Exposition, at New
Orleans is progressing rapidly. Lumber is
being delivered on the grounds at the rate
of one hundred thousand feet daily. It is
estimated that the main building will be
finished in four months. The management
announce that exhibits will be received to
the first of August. Applications for space
have been received during the past week
from England, Russia, Germany, Austria,
Italy, Mexico, Canada, Venezuela, Gauta

? The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, a
Republican paper, commenting upon Sergeant
Bates' recent utterances regarding his
last tramp through the South, says: Sergeant
Bates, who is a Democrat, has been
marching through the South, talking with
the people and taking notes. It is his opinion
that the rebellion is only repressed, and
is seeking to gain its ends through political
means where it failed to do so by secession
and war. He is rot as much of a Democrat
as he was. To which the New York World
replies : Bates went through the South as a
mendicant. When a man is in a position
to have his political views warped by the
character of the free victuals doled out to
him he can scarcely be trusted to make an
unselfish report of public sentiment. The
Republican party can have Bates and his
son also, with the old flag included.
? The first part of the great English dictionary
projected by the Philological society
of London, and for which some hundreds of
persons have been collecting material for
the past twenty-five years, has just been issued
from the Clarendon Press. This part
ends with the word "ant," on page 3.12.
Some idea of the scale of the work may be
had when it is added that Webster reaches
this word upon page .16, the new dictionary
giving 6,81)7 main words and 8,36.1 separate
entries, against 4,662 in Webster. It was
thought at first that the work would be com
iniscd. in, ^ hoi it. 7 000 nntrri ?* *Vw?
Littre's, but on the present scale it will
probably extend to 12,000 pages, or six
thick quarto volumes, and receckoning on
the basis of Webster's 114,000 words, the
whole number of words included is likely
to reach 200,000.

it declares its intention of making a fight
for an opportunity to submit a prohibitory

K\S CV *\/iv Vi I..V
committee proposes first to bring the temperance
propositions before the State Conventions
of both political parties for endorsement
or rejection. It also proposes to
submit the same question to every candidate
for either house of the Legislature, and
to advise temperance men to vote for the
nominees who promise best. Whatever
may be thought of the wisdom and judiciousness
of the proposed action of the temperance
men, there can be no denying that
it is manly and above board and that the
prohibition trumpet gives no uncertain
sound. The temperance question hasknocked
political calculations higher than a kite
in several States and it may yet do the
same thing in Pennsylvania.
?The usually quiet village of Williams
Bridge, Westchester county, X. Y., was
thrown into intense excitement a few days
ago through an eccentricity of Mrs. Jason
Smith. Health Officer McDerinott noticed
an excited crowd in front of Smith's residence
who appealed to him to remove an
objection on the front porch, which they
denounced as a nuisance. About this time
Mrs. Smith appeared at the door of her
castle brandishing a broomstick, while
Jason appeared at the upper window with
a section of hose in his hand, and turned
a stream of water 011 the crowd. The
watch dog also took part in the fight and
the crowd was put to flight. The gallant
McDermott, however made a dash in the
yard and bore the offending article away.
On examaining it he discovered that It
was Mr. Smith's right leg, which had
been amputated two weeks ago. His wife,
not caring to part wun u imu u finuiwiued
and neatly varnished, and set it on
the front stoop as an ornament. The nuisance
was buried, and Williams Bridge
has been restored to its wonted serenity.
? An Atlanta, Ga., dispatch of Friday
says: The trouble at Allapapa, in which
the aid of the military was invoked, grew
out of the arrest of a noted desperodo, Bar.
Turner, a white man, who has been guilty
of many atrocities. lie came in with 2.j
confederates and the officers of the court
room were rudely handled. The Justice was
told that he might proceed with the aid of
the mob. Instead of doing so the magistrate
called on the Mayor for support, and
the latter found himself unable to cope
with the mob. Knowledge of his appeal to
the Governor for troops was kept secret
from the mob, as it would have maddened
them to bloodshed. The delay owing to
the time lost in waiting for ammunition
from Americus put the Mayor under the
nppp?sitv of msikine- a comnromise with the
mob, by which Turner was released until
Saturday, March 15, when his trial will
take place. The mob carried him away
with a great show of triumph, declaring
that no town dudes should arrest a man
from the country. The trouble will undoubtedly
be renewed, as all the rough element
are in sympathy with Turner.
? The National "Woman's Suffrage Association,
which was in session for several
days in Washington city, adjourned sine die
last Friday. At a private session of the association
on Friday morning, a plan of future
action was mapped out and agreed upon.
It was decided to hold conventions during
the coming year under the auspices
of the association in every State and Territory
not now organized for woman suffrage,
and that upon the vice presidents of
the association should devolve the Superintendence
of what is known as legislative
work in their respective States and Territories.
This legislative work consists in endeavors
to secure the adoption by State and
Territorial Legislatures of a recommendation
to their representatives in Congress of
the proposed Sixteenth Amendment to give
the freedom of the ballot to women. It
was decided to use all the resourses at the
command of the association to defeat any
presidential candidate, by whatever party
nominated, who is opposed to woman suffrage.
The views of tne several candidates
on this question are obtained by the cxecu
tive officers of the association, Mrs. Stan-; <
ton, Miss Anthony and Mrs. Sewell, and <
when obtained these officers will issue an i
address to the women of the country di-1
i recting the course to be followed by them | <
j with respect to the candidates. It is not; k
; proposed to aid any candidate to secure 1'
; election, but to defeat every candidate not; 1
j in sympathy with the objects of the as-1 x

THURSDAY MORNING, MARCH 13, 1884. j
COL. CASH ARRESTED. i
The arrest of Col. E. B. C. Cash, as an accessory
after the fact, of the murder of Town
Marshal Richards, of Cheraw, by Win.
Bogan Cash, was effected at the home of
Col. Cash, in Chesterfield county, last Sunday
morning, by State Constable Richbourg,
and a posse of twelve picked men, who accompanied
him for that purpose. By the
alleged inertness of the officials of Chesterfield
county, the Governor was impelled to
assign the State Constable to the duty of attempting
the arrest of the Cashes, and the
manner in which the arrest of Col. Cash was
made, is detailed as follows by a special dispatch
to the News and Courier from Cheraw,
under date of March 9?12.30 P. M.:
State Constable R. N. Richbourg, with
twelve picked men armed with improved
Springfield rifles, left Columbia at midnight
last night, and arrived at Florence at 3.30
A. M. They were met there by Sheriff
Cole of Darlington, and took a special train
for Cash's Depot, no regular train leaving
on Sundays. The force reached a point a
mile below Cash's Depot at o A. M. Here (
fl.r. +r-.iiri cfr>r>noil onrl tho fl5<Sf>mh:irlv
IUC VI U1 II JVV|/|/VVV IVUVt V1IV/ av> vv v? .WW...
ed and proceeded up the track on foot to 1
Cash's house.
Before daylight the house was surround- 1
ed, and the force waited for light. About |
G o'clock Cash the elder rose, found that the (
pickets were about, armed himself with a ]
Winchester repeating rifle and pistols and '
tried to escape from the premises. He ran J
against John H. Pearson, one of the sentinels,
who presented his rifle, demanding 1
his surrender. Cash hesitated and Pearson j
said: "Drop your gun or I will shoot you :
in two seconds." Cash dropped his gun '
quickly. lie admitted having been taken
completely by surprise. When captured he
was endeavoring to make his way to the i
log-house across the railroad, where young <
uasil mis ueen sleeping every iugni since
the murder. The force closed in and search- .
ed Col. Cash's house thoroughly, but could '
find nothing of Bogan Cash. A party start- 1
ed for the log house before mentioned. <
When they were half way there, Cash get- i
ting alarmed for his son's safety, made a
proposition to go to the log-house if allowed .
to do so, alone, and pledged his sacred hon- '
or that he would have his son surrender '
within two hours. The proposition was 1
acceded to and the force was recalled. Cash <
went and soon returned, saying that his son ]
had left the house an hour before and that he '<
did not know where he was. He offered, (
however, if the force would withdraw that
his son would surrender before Wednesday.
lie frankly stated that he only wanted '
to come off with flying colors, that neither
he nor his son desired to be considered out- j
laws, but that he desired to effect a capitula- .
tion on his own terms. Bearing in mind the j
desire of Governor Thompson that Cash
should be captured before he had a chance '
to surrender, Chief Constable Richbourg de- 1
clined these terms. Cash then made other ;
propositions and finally offered to let Rich- j
* n fl 1 * O" !? '"? ' ' " * till linn, r I ]
ing that he would surrender within twentyfour
hours if the posse were dispersed.
This showed weakening and was finally re- <
Kir T?i/?hVirmr<r who immpdintplv r>ro- (
ceeded to give Cash a taste of the rigor of <
the law. His premises were surrounded by .
a guard with instructions to allow no de- |
parture or arrival. Cash's pistols and rifle .
were taken from him. Cash protested bit- 1
terly against this, but said he yielded to '
force. Capt. Richbourg, having determined
to let nothing prevent the most thorough <
search for young Cash, left most of his men ,
at the house, and at 9 o'clock proceeded
to Cheraw to summon a larger posse of
horsemen with which to enter the swamp j
and track the fugitive to his hiding place. 1
lie is supposed to be near Cash's Depot on j
an island in the swamp. 1
Colonel Cash was conveyed to Columbia j
on Sunday night, while a sufficient force, '
under Constable ltichbourg, remained in (
Chesterfield for the purpose of effecting the '
arrest of his son, the principal in the crime *
of which they are charged.
On arriving at Columbia, Col. Cash was (
delivered to the Sheriff of Richland county, 1
who conveyed him in a buggy from the de- [
pot to the jail, where he was placed in what *
is called "the parlor," on the first floor of (
the building, and is allowed every comfort 1
not inconsistent with the rules of the jail. *
Col. Watts, of his counsel, who had arrived j
in Columbia, at once notified Attorney-Gen- '
oral Miles and Solicitor Newton, of the Chesterfield
circuit, of his intention to sue
out a writ of habeas corpus before Chief Jus- '
tice Simpson, and as Solicitor Newton de- (
sires the regular notice of three (lays, no fur- }
ther proceedings have yet been taken. 1
Bogan Cash has not yet been arrested, and
the Governor has ordered State Constable
Richbourg and his posse to return to Columbia
without making any further effort to t
secure his arrest., The supposition is, that
by the counsel of the elder Cash, the son
will surrender himself to the Sheriff of
Chesterfield county.
PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS.
In the Senate, on the 3rd, bills were pass- ^
ed for the construction of a number of pub- f
lie buildings, among them one at Greenville, ^
S. C. A bill was introduced by Senator ^
Butler to authorize the Secretary of War to *
loan to the Governor's Guards, of Columbia, *
S. C., fifty Springfield rifles. Referred. J
The Military Academy appropriation bill \
was taken up, but at this moment a message c
was received from the House containing >
resolutions expressing the regret of the J
j House at the death of the late Representa- *~
j tive Haskell, of Kansas. The remainder of j
j the day's session was devoted to eulogies of {
the deceased Representative. j
In the House, Randall, under instructions
| from the Committee on Appropriations, re- {
ported back a letter from the Secretary of j
; the Treasury relative to rebate on tobacco, j j
i 1110 secretary's icuer was uiuuivu [imucu
iii the Record. Randall said the Secretary's
j letter settled two points?first, that no ad:
ditional force is necessary in the payment
[ of claims ; and, second, that instead of tak;
ing three years to pay them they could be
paid in three months. Intimation had crept
into public notice that persons having |
claims, by employment of agents at five per ;
; cent., commission, could get precedence in j
i consideration of their claims. He wanted i
to say to the House and to claimants that!
there was no occasion whatever for claimants j
to go to any expense to secure payment of,
their money. If they employed agents after
this statement they would do so of their
own volition. Under the call of States, a
number of bills and resolutions were introduced
and referred, after which the House,
upon motion of Townsend, of Texas, suspended
the rules and paased the bill pensioning
Mexican veterans. The bill does
not apply to soldiers of the Black Hawk and j
other Indian wars. Townsend explained I
the bill, stating that it was confined exclusively
to those who served in the Mexican
, war, and did not contain a provision not already
sanctioned by the House of Representatives.
Persons who were under political
disabilities were excluded from the benefit
)f the bill. The rules were then suspended
ind the bill passed?yeas, 227 ; nays, 4G.
In the Senate, on the 4th, the Military
Academy appropriation bill was passed.
Sherman introduced a bill granting copyright
to newspapers. The bill to provide
'or the exercise of jurisdiction conferred
jpon the United States in placesoutof their
erritory and dominion, was then taken up
ind read, and when the reading of the bill
,vas concluded the Senate went into executive
session, and when the doors were rebelled
adjourned.
In the House, a bill was reported to present
the adulteration of teas. A resolution
vas adopted authorizing the employment of
i small additional force under the Clerk
ind Doorkeeper of the House. Thercmninler
of the session was devoted to the naval
impropriation bill.
In the Senate, on the oth, a bill was passid
defining the boundaries of Yellowstone
Park, its area being 5,000 square miles, and
placing the park under the jurisdiction 01
Montana Territory. A bill authorizing the
Postmaster General to lease buildings for
postoftices of the first, second and third
jlasses, at reasonable rates, for terms not to
exceed ten years, was passed, while the bill
reported from the committee on Foreign Relations
providing for the exercise of jurisdiction
conferred upon the United States
in places outside their dominion, Sherman
isked and obtained unanimous consent to
have read a message which had just been
received from the House, announcing the
agreement by the House to the Senate joint
resolution appropriating $10,000 for Senate
ioiitingeiu fund. On the reading of the
message it was found that the concurrence of
the house had been given, coupled with a
proviso that the money should be used for
no investigation other than such as had already
been ordered. Butler and others, on
hearing this condition, at once objected to
the present consideration of the subject,
ind it went over. Butler said that the
condition was one that the House had no
right the make. The interrupted debate
was resumed and consumed the remainder
if the session until an executive session was
ordered.
In the House, Ellis, of Louisiana, from
the Committee on Appropriations, reported
back adversely the bills for the relief of
sufferers by the overflow in the lower Mississippi
Valley and by the cyclone in North
Carolina, and they were laid upon the table,
rhe same member, from the same commit
tee reported favorably a resolution requesting
the Secretary of War to furnish the
House, from time to time, with information
of the progress of the floods in the
valley of the Mississippi and report, if at
anytime in his judgment there exists such
suffering as to justify measures of relief on
the part of Congress. Adopted. After the
formalities of seating F. A. Manzamares as
i delegate from New Mexico, the House
discussed the naval appropriation bill until
the hour of adjournment.
In the Senate, on the Gth, a favorable report
was made from the Committe on Postoffices
and Post Roads, on the bill fixing the
rate of postage to be paid upon mail matter
of the second class when sent by others than
publishers or news agents. It fixes the rate
an transient newspapers at one cent for four
ounces?the present rate being one cent for
two ounces. Placed on the calendar. The
action of the House on the joint resolution
appropriating $10,000 for the Senate contingent
fund, in appending a proviso that the
amount must be used for investigations
heretofore ordered, was declared to be an
unjustifiable interference of that body with
the independence of the Senate. A vote by
yeas and was taken and the Senate unanimously
decided not to concur in the amend[neiu,
ami a Luuiiniiiee, euusiMitig ui rsiier*man,
Wilson and Butler, was appointed to
confer with a like committee of the House
an the subject. The Senate resumed the
consideration of Pendleton's bill providing
i system of courts for the exercise of extra
territorial jurisdiction of the United States
n foreign countries, and after a short debate
the bill was passed.
In the House, nearly the entire day was
levotod to the naval appropriation bill,
vvhich was finally agreed to and passed.
In the Senate, on the 7th, after an explanation
by Williams as to the merits of the
aill now before the Senate to regulate the
-etiring of army officers, the bill having
jeen introduced under a misapprehension
is to its true import, 011 his motion, the
r? ? j j k ^
jommuiee 011 luuuury ahuhs was inscharged
from further consideration of the
said bill. A bill was passed appropriating
*250,000 for the construction of a fire-proof
juilding in Washington, to be used as a hall
)f records. The Senate then took up, and
ifter reading the third time, passed the bill
constituting a majority of the Judges of the
Supreme Court of the United States to be a
luorum of the court, instead of six Judges,
is heretofore required by law. The bill also
prohibits the Judge who heard the case
it the circuit from sitting on the Supreme
jench when the case comes up for appeal.
\djourned to Monday.
In the House, the entire day was devoted
:o the consideration of bills of a private
character, principally for the relief of inlividuals.
An evening session was held
or the consideration of the pension bill.

NO LONGER A DUELIST.
The Sherman investigation of the Dan
| ville, Vft., riot has brought to the stand f
number of witnesses, some of them prom
i inent politicians, unci among them John S
' Wise, the Mahonite member of Congres;
from the Richmond district. Wise is tin
recreant son of ex-Governor Wise, during
whose administration the insurrectionist
Old John Brown, was hanged ; and partak
ing largely of his father's pugnacious pro
pensities, he has been engaged in severa
so-called affairs of honor. But he nov
j denounces the code, and whatever may b<
I his politeal tergiversations, this much shoult
I ho cot flmi'ti to hi? pi-prtit A Ttifllllinilf
j dispatch of Saturday contains the followinj
i in reference to Wise and his published de
termination not to fight:
The last issue of the Campaign, a Demo
cratic weekly, published here' by Captaii
McCarty, contained an editorial in whicl
occurs the following: "IIow characteristic
of the individual is Mr. Johnny Wise':
stump speech on the witness stand. A mai
occupying a seat in Congress stolen witl
manufactured votes; himself the very ex
emplar of Virginia prejudice, braggart ant
bully; the hero of 13 bloodless duels; kicker
out of the Democratic party and selling hi
little stock of brains to Mahone ; frozen ou
of recognition by honest men, and relegater
to the association of the negroes, who arc
his superiors in all that makes even a pre
fonoo fn jrm n 1-mrvl "
Captain McCarty is a member of one tin
oldest families in Virginia, a bold, fearless
but quiet and unassuming member of tin
Democratic party. He was one of the sec
ondsof Mr. Richard T. Beirne in the due
with Elam." He is a believer in the resor
to the code for the settlement of dispute
under some circumstances.
Mr. John S. Wise to-day published a let
terof which the following are extracts:
"Henceforth I wish it publicly understoo<
that I will not tight a duel or be a party t<
one. 1 make this declaration public be
cause some persons may expect me to resen
several assaults of late appearing in news

no difficulty with me. If the Common
wealth Attorney of the town where tha
paper is published had done his duty, Me
Carty would have been in jail long ago a
the utterer of criminal libel. A poor mai
here in Richmond was sent to jail soni
months ago for an offence much less thai
his. Since McCarty killed Mr. John II
Mordecai he has been going about smellinj
the blood on his hands and panting fo
more. Without stake of any sort, he ha
maliciously sought to provoke difficulties
first with Gen. Mahone, then with Senato
Riddleberger, and next with myself. Sonr
months before he said aught against me
was informed that he declared liis purpos
in a public place to seek a difficulty witl
me next. Gen. Mahone and Riddleberge
failed to notice him, and I propose to d
likewise.
"What satisfaction can I secure from Mc
Carty? I would not fight a duel. I d
not wish his blood, and would be as miser
able as he is now if I shed it. If I were t
sue him for slander and give the mone;
to some charitable institution, I could no
make anything out of him on execution
Unmarried, penniless, without any fixe<

honor, but he must find somebody else thai
me to kill him.
"With a sweet home filled with inerr;
children, with enough to live comfortably
with a paying profession, I am happy an<
want to live. In God's name, what wouh
a man like Page McCarty put in stak<

c Chester, March 10.?It will not be i
3 great while before the boiling of the politi
1 eal pot will begin in this county. Whil
j there has been as yet no public announce
ment of any candidates for county offices
L* rumors to this effect are being whisperei

g promises to be the most popular office?th
one that will attract the greatest number o
j aspirants. The names of about half a doze:
^ of our best citizens are spoken of in connec
" tion with this desirable position. Probabl;
there will be other Bicnmonds in the fieh
? by the time the campaign winy opens
There are those whose eyes are turned ii
g the direction of the office of Probate Judge
. Indeed the probabilities are that there wil
j be no lack of good and true men who wil
t be found willing, at the proper time, to la,
g themselves on the altar of self-sacrifice ii
behalf of the people. Voters will have n
difficulty in selecting from the list of candi
dates for the various county offices, thos
I who will discharge their respective dutie

k On a warrant issued by Trial Justic
Darby, Mr. Silas Gladden arrested, brough

as to cause the latter to secure a warrant fo

the defendants' attorneys will hold that i
is such an interference with personal right
as violated not only the spirit, but the lei
ter of the constitution. If the presidin
~ Judge decides in favor of the constitution
ality of the law, an exception will be take
to his ruling, and the question will come u
before the Supreme Court for decision. U[
j on the question of fact as to the guilt or inn<

r as to what will be the termination of thes
cases. The trial of them promises to excit

By reason of the continued wet weather

i- the farmers are very much behind with
a their work. But little plowing has been

little time will have been lost. A backward

ie It is too early yet to speak with certainty as

I THE SCHOOL LAW.
We have received a pamphlet copy of the
^ School Law of South Carolina, edition of
f 1884, prepared and published in pursuance
J. of law, under the direction of A. Coward,
3 State Superintendent of Education. We
I have heretofore published the school law
3 and the various Acts supplemental or amen
datory thereof; but for general information
i we copy from the pamphlet the standing
1 resolutions of the State Hoard of Examiners,
prescribing rules for the examination of
teachers:
1 1. All examinations before County Boards
. of Examiners must be in writing, except
examination in reading, and must be conducted
on nuestions prepared by the State
? Superintendent of Education; separate questions
to be prepared for each of the three
1 grades.
3 2. The number 10 to be the maximum
' mark, and no applicant whose average at
[ an examination is less than 8 on all the
; branches to receive a certificate.
5 3. At all examinations before County
Boards, at least two members of the Board
; must be present.
4. All applicants before County Boards
J shall be examined on orthography, reading,
4 writing, arithmetic, geography, English
' grammar, history of the United States and
of this State.
;j. Applicants for teachers' State certificates
must appear before the State Board
' of Examiners at the regular meetings,
: which will be held in Columbia during tne
. first week in May and the first week in
. September of each year; and that in addi.
tion to the branches of study mentioned in
' the foregoing rule, said applicants will be
} examined in algebra, natural philosophy
' and physiology.
Resolved, That in those cases in which
applicants for examination fail to obtain
even a third grade certificate, and where
the necessities of the case require, the G'ounty
Boards of Examiners shall be authorized
to issue to such applicants a license to teach
school at a reduced rate of compensation ;
said license to be granted for one term only,
and to be revokable at the pleasure of the
Board granting the same. (Adopted May
2, 1878.)
Resolved (1), That any County Board of
Examiners may, in its discretion, recognize
certificate granted in other Counties
i as evidence of qualifiation to teach in the
public schools, without subjecting the holdI
ers of said certificates to another examination.
Resolved, That in all cases in which first
grade certificates have been granted to applicants
upon the second series of questions
for 187!), or upon any subsequent series, the
County Boards of Examiners shall have
authority to renew said certificates annually
for a period of time not to exceed three
years: Provided, That that the holders of
such certificates shall give to the County
Boards of Examiners satisfactory evidence
of continued good character and of efficiency
as teachers.
(2) In like manner, County Boards of Examiners
shall have authority to renew
second grade certificates annually for a peri!
ocl of time not to exceed two years.
(3) All Applicants for third grade certificates
shall be examined annually as heretofore.
(Adopted September 2, 1879.)
Resolved, That we recommend to the
County Boards of Examiners throughout
the State to hold examinations on the first
Friday and Saturday in January and July
of each year. (Adopted May 4, 1880.)
Jtexolved, That the examination of teachers
before County Boards of Examiners shall
include a series of questions on the theory
and practice of teaching, and that "Methods ,
of Teaching," by John Swett, and "Art of
School Management," by J. Baldwin, be
recommendeuas books of reference. (Adopted
May 1, 1883.)
U. S. DISTRICT COURT.
The United States District Court atGreenville,
Judge Bryan presiding, completed the
business of the special term last Saturday,
having been in session five weeks. The
criminal docket for the term comprised one
hundred and ninety-two cases, seventy-two
of which have been continued to the August
term. With the exception of three perjury
cases, one of counterfeiting and one of robbing
the mail, the docket was made up of
the offences of moonshiners and their patrons
and aids in the business of making and
selling contrabrand whisky. During the
term forty-eight cases were tried, resulting
in twenty-eight verdicts of guilty, seventeen
of not guilty, and three mistrials. In
addition to these thirty-three defendants
pleaded guilty to the informations filed
against them, making the number of the
guilty sixty-one in all. A number of cases
were compromised by petition of the defendants
to the department at Washington in
the manner provided for by law, and with
these included thirty-nine cases were marked
"discontinued," which means, in the language
of a colored defendant, "squashed."
Of the sixty-one guilty defendants sentences
were suspended against seventeen of them ;
sentences were pronounced upon thirty,
among them Wm. Mullinax, two months in
York jail; Frank M. Medlock, four months
in York jail ; and Geo. W. Moss and Curtis
Moss, each one month in York jail.
MELTON TO DEFEND CASH.
District-Attorney Melton was aproached
by a representative of the Greenville News
last Friday night and asked about the rumor
that he had been retained as one of the
counsel to defend W. B. Cash. To the
question,
"Judge, is it true that you have been
retained to represent Cash?"
"It is," was the sententious response.
Then Judge Melton added with some vehemence:
"It is as clear a case of self defence
as was ever put belore a jury. A
<_wk amrxiive, and
he will appear for trial at the proper time!"
The JSeics man smiled a cold, sarcastic
smile.
Judge Melton, with the eloquence or the
hand which is one of the charms of his oratory,
extended that hand with an indescribable
gesture which expressed the words he
uttered immediately?
"I hold Bogan Cash in my hand" he said :
"he will be found and will surrender when
I tell him to do it. No man in South Carolina
onn rent1 tn him nt- t'.lLm him until T Siiv
the word, and I will say it at the proper
time."
Somebody suggested that Gov. Thompson
was not a man to be trifled with, and that
he would probably find means to secure Mr.
Cash without consulting him.
"They can't do it," said the Judge, "it's
an attempt to humiliate a brave man, and
they can't do it. Cash will appear and
make his defense at the proper time."
"Will there be any attempt to remove the
case to the United States Courts?"
"Oh no," was the reply.
The News further says:
It is reported here that Colonel Richard
Watts, of Laurens, brother-in-law to Cash,
will be associated with Judge Melton as
counsel. Many people in Greenville express
the belief that Cash is in Laurens,
rtUL/\uo>L 4-Lama ^nnmo tn Kn nA t/MinHatlAn
(UllIUU^ll IUC1C OCCU1Q IU UV UVS iuuuuuuwit
for the surmise beyond the known fact
that he has connections there.
It was whispered on Friday that Cash had
been in Greenville since the murder and
certain circumstances lend a color of truth
to the story, although it is not a likely one.
It is certain, however, that a man answering
his description in some important particulars
was in this city two or three clays
after the shooting at Cheraw, and can not
now be traced.
? The Columbia Register learns that on
last Thursday, in the upper part of Richland
county, the skeleton of a white man had
been found about eight miles from the city,
and near by was also discovered the skeleton
of a monkey. It is not known who the
man was, but is supposed to have been an
organ grincier.
