Scraps and Jattis. ? Secretary Lucius Quintius Cincinnatus Lamar has a clerk in his department who staggers through life bearing the burden of the name of Washington Jefferson Lincoln Gerrlt Smith Jones. There is also William Andrew Jackson Sparks. Yet the Govern- , ment at Washington still lives. ? In the school at Mount Vernon, Mass., is a young man from Alaska, who has gone there to be educated and intends to return to his own country as a missionary and teacher. He is only about 18 years old, but has already done a great work among his ' people in helping to establish churchesi there. ? The New York Sun says: "If the things that are done by the Republicans of New i York, Connecticut, and New Jersey were j to be done by the democrats of Georgia, South Carolina and Mississippi, a heavenpiercing howl of indignation would .arise j from republican virtue in the senate, and the first express train to the South would be loaded with a full sized investigating committee." ? A party of three soldiers were sent with two military convicts from Forth Worth, Texas, to Leavenworth, Kansas. The soldiiers were fully armed and were warned that there were highwaymen on the same train, yet they were robbed in broad day light by the two masked highwaymen. The company to which they belong met and expressed resolutions of contempt at their conduct. ? Simpson Harris died in Putnam county, Indiana, last Friday, aged 109 years. He was born in Orange connty, N. C., January 1778. He cast his first vote for Jefferson for President in 1801, and had voted at every Presidential election si nee. He was a veteran of the war of 1812. His memory remained good. He talked intelligently about men and events connected with the formation period of the republic. ? Two men, Hamilton and Lullberry, murderers of the Harris brothers, in Bradley county Ark., were released from jail at Warren, Ark., Thursday night by a party of masked men. A Sheriff's posse which started in pursuit returned Friday morning and report that the murderers were carried to the banks of the Arkansas River, where they were hanged.

In one instance a wife res left dying in the yard, while the tenant Jrwas dragged off to a dungeon. The present Klrish policy of the Tories has greatly weakK ened their government, and must soon res' suit in its overthrow. England's treatment i of Ireland is a blot that must eventually lyield in the natural progress of civilization. p?The Eepublican Senate Committee has B again reported against Matthews, the colK or?d Democrat appointed to succeed Fred. Douglas as Recorder of Deeds for the Dis t#ct of Columbia. Matthews is one of the fcst representatives of his race, has thus kr made an excellent official, and about the my thing that the republicans can find gainst him is that he is a Democrat. B? John T. Ross, implicated with Albert Etawkins and Anderson Perry in the mur ler of Emily Brown, was placed on trial in he Criminal Court of Baltimore, last Fri day. The victim was an old woman who lived with negroes, and she was killed in >rder to sell her body to the medical school Pj?f the Maryland University, where it was "delivered and the agreed-on price of $15 | paid for it. Anderson Perry had charge of the dissecting room and receiyed the body from Ross and Hawkins. The prisoner had very little to offer in his defense, and the case was given to the jury at half-past 10 o'clock Friday night. After half an hour's .deliberation a verdict of murder in the first degree was brought in. ? Col. William Preston Johnson has been making a speech to the Knights of Labor of New Orleans, in which he dwelt speciali ly on the fact that war had been declared "between labor and capital, and that the conflict could only terminate in one of thefolToWIhgthree ways: The triumph of capital, which would be disastrous to all classes; the victory of labor, which means revolution, an' archy, bloodshed, and afterwards a redistribution of property and more misrule and national destruction, or by a cessation of hostilities and peaceful adjustment on the basis of justice, both sides recognizing that the law of Christ, which is doing unto ""bthf rs as you would have them do to you, : is the only law upon which communities most rest to be permanently prosperous and happy. ? It has been stated that the silk rope with which Cluverius was hanged was made as a compliment to theculprit, butsuch is not the lease. The rope was made by E. J. Brown, of Richmond, an old rope maker, who evidently intended to turn to good account the bright but fatal product. The silk consumed in its manufacture cost $4o, and an agreement was made that after the rope had been used it was to be returned to Mr. | Brown. This was done, and hfe at once cut L quite a number of short pieces from it and was disposing of them at a lively rate when the city sergeant stepped in on the specula. tor and stopped further proceedings by taking the rope and paying Brown for it. This was done because the sale of it as pro. posed was very distasteful to a large number of Richmond's citizens. ? Senator Sherman has offered in the Senate an amendmentto be proposed to the sundry civil bill, to appropriate $3,000 to put ' new fences around the cemeteries in which the Confederate dead are buried, ne&r Columbus, Ohio, and on John's Island. Ac companying the. amendment is an extract flrom a recent annual message of Governor Foraker, in which he refers Mthe dilapidated condition of the fences and the neglected estate of the grounds, and adds: "The hatred : and detestation that all loyal people must I and should ever entertain for the destructive political doctrines that these men fought for, ought not to stand in the way of either cordial feeling toward the living who have abandoned such heresies or a proper regard and Christian respect for the dead, who, al; though wrong, yet heroically and valorous. ly contended for the convictions they entertained." .? Fifteen years ago land could be purchased within a mile of the business centre of Chattanooga, Tenn., for from $30 to $50 an acre. But the rapid growth in business, and-'population in that city is sending real ^B^tate up in value. On Tuesday last a syndicate of capitalists from Ohio, Kentucky and Mississippi purchased a tract of 200 acres in the suburbs of Chattanooga, paying for it $500,000, or at the rate of $2,500 per acre. The purchasers will make extensive improvements on the property, and will develop many sites for manufacturing and business purposes. On the same day the representative of several English ba'nkers purchased 160 acres of land some distance from the city limits for $100,000. Another sale was a site for a huge steam forge, which ; will give employment to a large number of j hands. ? Officers of high rank in the army are | confident that no action will be taken in the - matter of the appointment of a new chief signal officer for the present. It will be irn- i -npossible to accomplish anything in the way 1 of a transfer of the signal bureau to the civ- i il service at this session of Congress. It is j the general impression that for this reason the war department will use its influence to ! i nostnone the annointiner of a new chief until ! after the next session of Congress. Capt. j Greely will be allowed to remain at the head of the corps until the fate of the proposed changes is definitely known. In case j the transfer cannot be effected, it is not the opinion that Capt. Greely will be made chief signal officer. It is one of the "plums" of the service, and there is not a colonel of the line who would not willingly t accept it. Gen. Hazen held the rank of colonel when he was appointed, and it is not probable that an officer of a lower rank could jump to a brigadier-generalship. I ?The following report of a train robbery . comes from Fort Worth, Texas, under date I of Saturday: At 3 o'clock this morning, as the east-bound Texas and Pacific express was pulling out of Gordon, a small station -sixty miles west of here, two masked and Harmed men jumped or. the engine and cov- > |Hred the engineer and fireman with revol^Hers. The engineer was forced to pull ahead ^Ktil the train reached a high trestle, two east of Gordon. As soon astheenand baggage, and mail cars had passed H^^Kthe trestle the train stopped, leaving |^^Bnssenger coaches on the trestle. At this point the masked men were reinforced by six assistants. The robbers then went through the express car, taking all the money and valuables in the safe, the amount being estimated at from $3,000 to $10,000, although the Paeific Express officials refuse to state the amount stolen. The robbers then proceeded to the mail car, where they got twenty-eight registered packages. The passengers were, not disturbed and their coaches beyig on the high trestle they could not get out to assist the trainmen. There is is no clue to the robbers. lit furMle flNfrim. YORKVILLE, 8. C. : WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 26,1887. THE EXPERIMENTAL STATIONS^ 7 The State is poor, and Capt. B. R. Tillman's experimental stations are expected to come cheap. Recognizing these facts, we print gratuitously the following "proposals," signed "J. 1\ Richardson, Chairman Board of Agriculture," inviting donations from counties, communities or persons for the purpose of establishing the said stations: In accordance with the provisions of an act entitled "An Act to establish the South Carolina farms and stations," one in the Piedmont region of the State and one in the lower tier of counties, the Board ol Agricultare gives notice that it will receive during the next ninety days from counties, commuuities or persons bids or proposals tc donate lands and buildings or money for the purpose of establishing said experimental farms and stations. All bids to receive consideration must be sent to L. A. Ransom, Secretary Board ol Agriculture Columbia, S. C., on or before the 11th day of April next. THE WORK OF CONGRESS. The House has passed the bill creatine: a Departmentof Agriculture and Labor. The Secretary of the department, under the provisions of the law, will be a Cabinet officer, and a divison of his department will be under the control of a Commissioner ol Labor, who will have to deal with the material, social, intellectial and moral interests of the laboring population of the country. The interests affected have heretofore been under the charge of the Secretary of the Interior. On the 17th instant, the House passed the Mexican pension bill, as it came from the Senate, by an overwhelming majority. There seems to be uo doubt that the President will approve the bill. It provides that a pension of $8 a month shall be paid to all surviving officers and enlisted men, including marines, militia and volunteers of the military and naval services of the United States, who being duly enlisted, actually served sixty days with the army or navy of the United States in Mexico or on the coasts or frontier thereof or en route thereto in the war with that nation, or wh?> were actually engaged in battle in said war and were honorably discharged, apd to such other officers and soldiers and seniors as may have beeii personally named in any resolution of Congress for any specific service in said war, and the surviv' ?- <\f oiw.Vi nfflnore an*! onlistpH illg W1UUW3 \JX OUVH Uiuvvu _ H.LIV.

Section 4,715 of the Revised Statutes is repealed, so 'far as it relates to this Act or to pensioners under this Act. The House has passed a new anti-Mormon bill, more stringent in its features than the Edmunds law, now in force. The Senate passed the Inter-State Commerce bill by a vote of 43 to 15, and on Friday the bill, as agreed to by the conference committee was passed by the House by a vote of 219 to 41. It was enrolled, signed by the presiding officers of both houses and sent to the President for his signature. The bill is lengthy, and -has for its object the enforcement of a uniform system of charges and tarriffs by the railroad lines of the United States. In the House on Saturday, Representative Hammond submitted to the Judiciary Committee the report on Mr. Dibble's resolution, authorizing the acceptance by the House of the oath of office made by Representative Aiken at his home in South Carolina. After reciting the fact that Mr. Aiken was duly elected and returned as a member of the House, but by severe illness has beeu unable to appear and take the oath, and must so remain unable during the remainder of this Congress, the report discusses the legal aspect of the case, and concludes that the house can and under the circumstances, should accept the oath ol office sent in by Mr. Aiken. HisWktshmext Fitted the Crime.? fhomas J. Cluverius, who murdered his cousin in Richmond, in 18S5, has been hanged. We think Governor Lee deserves the commendation of all justice-loving people, Cluverius was a lawyer, a church member, and a Suuday-school teacher, and belonged to blooded stock. Herculean efforts were made to save him, but Governor Lee was firm and the prisoner met his doom. lie was convicted on circumstantial evidence, while murderers in South Carolina are bailed by our judges in a small sum, and after goiug throjgh a farce of a trial the juries generally acquit. If Cluverius had committed his crime in South Carolina he would have been held to bail in ?2,000, and when put on trial he would doubtless have been acquitted. We believe that no such man as Cluverius could be hanged under the forms of law In South Carolina?no matter what his crime. Without knowing what many people think, we believe that three-fourths of our people doubt his guilt. Cluverius denies his guilt, and that is enough.?A bbeeille I'rexx ana Banner. United.

Congressman Aiken does not seem to . improve much. He is still confined to his | room, and his condition remains about the j same. ? Ben Eison, a white youth aged.17, hung J' himself at Jonesville, Union county, Thursday night. No cause is assigned for the j suicide except the account of the hanging of , Cluverius. H ? The house of Calvin Bass, in Kershaw county, has been destroyed by an incendiary fire. Bass' wife, who was sick in bed, and her two small children, perished in the w ! names. % Q| > ?A detachment*of the Salvation Army tc will invade Greenville, at an early day. t, "Captain" Newton, who announces himself as the advance guard of the army, has leased a hall in that city for six months. ? A correspondent writing from Ninety- Y Six says that farmers around in that vicini- tl ty are with one accord for "King Cotton."

Billings, of Lancaster, served with the Palmetto Regiment in Mexico, w and recently, having been restored to the at pension roll, he received more than four es thousand dollars from the government, the ^ amount being the arrears to which he was <. entitled. , . .f ? Unknown persons uncoupled the pars of a freight train at Winnsboro' on the night of January 19, and thereby caused a delay of several minutes. When the train started r( 'off they flred at the conductor, Capt. M. J. jr Land, who returned the fire. No harm was tc done on either side. ai ? Mr. Samuel E. Lyon, an old and well la known lawyer of New York city, died sud- tl denly at Aiken on the afternoon of the ja t 20th, of heart disease, just after Ire had left the dinner table. He arrived at Aiken on his annual visit only the day before his i death. b i ?On Tuesday during recess the school 85 1 house at Reidville, Spartanburg county, ' took fire on the roof and was burned down. s?' It was a handsome and substantial building tl aud its loss is a serious blow to the thrifty < and intelligent people of that community. G Tho hripl- wrtllo rpmftin standing, however, ci and can probably be used in rebuilding, ii' \ so the loss will be ?1,400 or $1,500. ? Says the News and Courier: Mr. Robert Marion and Capt. W. D. Palmer killed two 1 large black bears on a recent hunt in Dean ? > Swamp, in St. Stephen's Parish, Berkley K county. One of them weighed four hundred o pounds. Last summer the bears made fre- a ' quent raids on the parish corn crop, and B , there is trouble brewing for Bruin should ei he attempt like pranks this year. s< ? On Wednesday last the State Supreme s( Court took a recess until the 18th of April, w when the April term will convene. The p i Sixth circuit will be called on the 26th of is ' April, for which four days will be allowed, ir As regards the circuits, cases in the original jurisdiction will have preference on each Monday of the term. Applications for admission to practice must be filed on or be- E fore April 26th. si ? A cyclone passed through Pickens and 1? Greenville counties last Sunday night. At S Liberty station, Pickens county, H. H. Ow- fc ens' residence was completely destroyed. w Owens was seriously injured. At LaFay- w ette, Mr. Cox' residence was blown off its pil- oi lars. A negro church and blacksmith shop ec were blown down. One store was blown h: down. In Greenville county, fences and ci chimneys were blown down in many places, d No damage was done in the city of Green- e ville. a, Union Times: The number of negroes tl / leaving this county for the West is increas- p ing every week. Last Monday about b twelve families left here for the land of the oi golden sunset. A weekly emigrant train passes through here every Monday, and it is generally well loaded. Very few of the worthless negroes are going, which is the >! saddest part of the migration. Union can oi well spare at least one half of its negroes, if ii we may judge from the number seen loafing ri around our streets. ri ? A suit for $40,000 damages has been h brought against the South Carolina Railway p by Thomas Quinn, an Augusta carpenter, lc r who went to Charleston for work after the tl earthquake. He was injured in the depot e: of the South Carolina Railway at Charleston tc by the collision of two cars, his arm being t\ 1 crushed, and afterwardsamputated. Quinn ai alletres that the accident was due to negli- i< : gence on the part of the employees of the ., railroad. He has a large family in Augusta, A consisting of a wife and five or six children, jj all dependent upon him. tl ? Marshall Amaker, the white man con- ti victed in the Orangeburg court of the mur- e' der of Robert Baltzigger, colored, has been p 1 sentenced to be hanged on Friday, June 3. (j The recommendation to mercy, coupled n with the verdict, has been made the basis of , an appeal to the Governor for a commutation of the sentence, apd it is thought highly probable that the sentence will be com- ei muted to imprisonment in the penitentiary. The condemned man is sixty years of age, s his head is white with age, and he has an T i aged wife and a family of children. a( ? Trial Justice Robinson of Anderson tl i tried a darkey last week for stealing a shoat, n but the testimony failing, he was dismissed. 0 The Justice then stated that he had a remarkable rooster which when put under a q 1 pot would crow when the guilty man ^ I touched the pot. He invited the party s present to test their innocence, and all , promptly touched the pot except one negro p who was present and had been suspected. _ He refused to touch it, saying he was out of ' the scrape and wanted to stay so. His trial is soon tc come on, and his conduct on this occasion will be a part of the testimony (1 against him. Col. Robinson has instituted a new crime detector. S( , ? On Friday Policeman Moran, of Charles- " , ton, heard that a negro named Buist was .v I abusing his (Moran's) wife. Hurrying home, he found the negro beating the lady. He tried to arrest Buist, but the negro re- ; ' sisted, drew his pistol and tired, inflicting ft . J a wound in Moran's hand. Moran then c . i shot the negro in the abdomen, inflicting a N r mortal wound. In the melee Mrs. Moran received a wound in the abdomen, from tj the negro's pistol. She suffered much, but ai is now in a fair way to recover. Buist died n ' on Sunday night, and Moran was put un- ?

At the White I it | j House it is said that there are already on , | file fifty applications, and as many more s< names have been suggested to the President (; , directly and indirectly. These positions are s I more desirable than Congressional honors, ti . as the salary is*/,-urn a year anu traveling v, I expenses.

Our Rock Hill correspondence of last weel mtained the fact that an attempt was made in thai iwn a short time ago to assassinato Mrs. Riles lady who formerly lived in Charlotte, N. C. nf ?'ii? Una returned from that city to the hoim F her father, Mr. I). A. Button, who lives ir ock Hill. The Charlotte Observer of Sunday lys the occurence has stirred up a pood deal o; ad blood. That paper says that Mr. ltiles is nd lias been lor a long time, a resident of that ity. He has had domestic dillieulties, wliiel; is ulted in his wife separating from him some mo ago, since which she has been with hei arentsin Bock Hill. The shooting incident has j far been unexplained; but from a letter rejived by Mr. Biles on Saturday it is very plaint seen that he is believed by the father of tin aly to bo guilty of the attempt to kill her. The Observer publishes the following letter, by renest of Mr. Biles : Rock Hill, S. C., January 21, 1.S.S7. Mn. W. H. Bilks?Sir: You continue to write ) Sallie; what can you mean ? God only know? hat kind of animal you are. On the night 01 le 12th instant some one, just before the 1( 'clock train eamo up, tired a pistol at Sallie irough the window, the ball just grazing hei heek. The moon was shining brightly, so whover done it could not mistake. Now let me tell on ; with the throats you have made and yout k previous actions, leave no other conclusion but thnt you was coward enough to commit just such a deed. Now, if you wish to save your neck, you had better take all means to establish . every hour of your whereabouts from the 12th to the evening of the l.'ith of January. J did not want to think it was you that did the shooting, or had it done, but that is the general opinion of every one who speaks of it. It is certainly awful to think of, and it would be wise in you to disprove it, if possible. But it would be dangerous for you to show yourself in this community. How could you ever expect Sallie to live with you again? How could you expect her to risk her life with you after the threats you have made, and it a known fact that you always carry a pistol, and after befflgshot at bv an assassin ? Horrible, horrible to think ot! What you wish to write to her for I cannot see. You took her a mere child with\ out my permission, and then to treat her as you , have done, you may know that it is a Wiiste of time on your part to write any more. D. A.

The happy eyent occurred in ! Newberry, on Thursday last, and is thus re, ported by the Newberry correspondent of the AugUsta Chronicle: , Mr. Withers Adickes of Yorkville was married to-day about 12 M. to Miss Helen M. Wardlaw, ' of this city, at the residence of Thomas S'. ' Moorman, Esq. Mr. Adickes arrived yesterday, accompanied by his mother and friends. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. J. Lowrie Wilson, of Abbeville, assisted by the Rev. R. D. . Smart, of Greenwood. The company consisted of the immediate family and a few special friends. Amongst jthe young people present were Miss Clarkie Cothran, of Abbeville; Miss S. A. Cald' well, of Greenville, and Miss Mamie McCauglii rin, Miss Kate S. Rutherford and Miss Lucy W. , Baxter, of this place; Mr. John A. Latta. of j Yorkville, Dr. M. W. Gulp, of Union, and Messrs. John B. Jones, J. W. Pelham, and O. McR. Holmes, of this place. The windows were darkened and as the bride, beautifully arrayed, was led out, under the brilliant chandeliers the i scene was at once impressive and enchanting. .

Governor Richardson has appointed James R, Kennedy Probate Judge of York county, via 1 J. B. Williams, decoased. Mr. Kennedy war - chosen for appointment by a primary electior i held on the 27th ultimo. JIo has made his of1 licial bond, which will be submitted to the coun' ty commissioners at a special meeting of th< - board to-morrow, after which he will be dulj - commissioned by the Governor. 1 Tho Governor has also appointed R. D. Mc2 Knight Jury Commissioner for York county - and S. M. Fewell, of Rock Hill, a Notary 1 Public. On Saturday last lie appointed the following trial justices for the townships named, under th< recent Acts of the Legislature regulating th< trial justice system in York county, the ap pointees having been chosen by primary elec9 tion and thereupon recommended by the countj " Democratic executive committee through th< 1 York legislative delegation: York, James B 1 Bell; Catawba, Wm. Whyte; Ebenezer, J. C f Wilborn ; Fort Mill, T. G. Culp ; Bethel, Peri) 3 Ferguson ; Bullock's Creek, J. P. Blair, Bethes1 da, W. S. Adains; King's Mountain, John A - McMackin; Broad River, George C. Leech, 3 The trial justice for Cherokee township has nol " yet been appointed, tho delay, wo suppose, being 1 for the reason given in our issue of last week which briefly repeated, is to the effect that ther( r is a misunderstanding as to who was elected foi 3 the appointment. Mr. A. B. Crosby, who failed 9 to sign the required pledge, received tho large?! 3 vote, but the chairman of the executive commit1 tee received a letter and also a telegram, purporting to be from Mr. Crosby, peremptorily declining. The election was then decided by the committee in favor of Mr. Crosby's competitor, Mr, ' Camp. After this action Mr. Crosby repudiated 1 the letter and telegram. Consequently the matter remains in statu quo. Mr. Crosby publishes a card in this paper, defining his position or ^ the question. As to the delay in making the appointmenl of trial justices for York, the Columbia cor. respondent of the News and Courier writes under date of last Friday: 3 Governor Richardson is not responsible for th( < present paralysis of justice in York county. I] 1 there is any responsibility it rests with the dele, gation from that county. The Governor intend. ed making'the appointments of trial justices , for York some time ago, but was requested " by the delegation, through Senator Black, tc withhold tho appointments until they could be t heard from, as they desired to make recom3 mendations. This was tho last heard of the . delegation. The Governor to-day telegraphed Senator Black that the appointments could be witheld no longer, and to telegraph anything the delegation desired to say. Correspondence of the Yorkvillc Enquirer. LETTER FROM FORT MILL. Fort Mill, January 24.?Clover seems not to appreciate the benefits of a primary election. It is a pity the managers there did not give the people a chance to exer cise their authority on the 14th instant, 3 Such conduct, or misconduct, ought not tc ? be tolerated. The people should have every opportunity to express their desires, and 5 any attempt to circumvent them should be anathematized. Cherokee township seems to be in trouble - about this matter. It is a pity that breth. ren cannot dwell together in unity, or in Cherokee either. If that letter and tele, gram both were forged, the author oughl 1 to be subject to social ostracism; but Mr. Crosby ought to havesigned the pledge and saved trouble. It is suggested by "many voters" here that other elections are now in order, bul we will mention them hereafter. The "cut ~ off" wants it understood that these elections are not to be lightly considered. The C., C. & C. It. R. Co. have been con j sidering their route for a Jong time, uau * they not come to a conclusion? It is utter folly for them to expect that other townships, 3 than those through which the route may \ lie, should subscribe to the construction ol t the road ; and I understand Mr. Spencer has repeatedly told them so. If they are going tc build the road, they ought to do so and be . done with it; then people would know I what to depend on?otherwise everything t is uncertain and unsatisfactory. 3 There is no news here. No business is ' being done, and nobody seems to care much about it. J The new council have built a bridge , over a ditch, which is about all the imr provement in town now.

Major Julius Mills, of our town, was elect- n J ed president, J. K. Henry, Esq., also of P i our town was elected one of the Directors. (i An earnest effort to construct the road will )x be made. If the men of property and in- j1 fluence living along the "line of the pro- L ) posed road give the enterprise a warm P r support the desired object will be accom- 1] plished in due time. The people of Ross- r . ville township will be asked to aid the road c by a subscription ot $18,000. It is believed v ' that their vote will be in favor of the sub- J1 scription. 1 Such will certainly be the case if they have ' a due regard for their own interest. The > posession of railroad facilities will benefit I them in many ways. Their lands will in- I crease in value 50 per cent.

P t Wagons, laden with corn are almost t j daily leaving our town for different plan- k , tations in the county.

A considerable quan- 3 tity has been bought by the granges in the v . county, the members obtaining the benefit t of a reduction in price arising from the pay- d ment of cash and the purchase of a large 3 quantity. Those who are buying corn at 1 time prices will find some difficulty in pay- 1 J ingforlt with cotton at present prices.
