THURSDAY NORMING, JULY 19, 18V7.
Dr. Brown's predio '? n in tho last can
vass, that if the Democrats carried thc
State, thc Republicans would leave the
State like rats funning from a burning
barn, ?j now being fulfilled. Chamber
lain, Patterson, Whittemore, Doge,
Montgomery, Lowe, and numerous lesser
lights, have bid farewell to our clime and
returned to their old haunts, whew they
no doubt astonish thc natives by their
immensely changed financial condition.
It is stated in the press dispatches that
tlie President will appoint Cowgill, a
member of tho late Florida returning
board,. Marshal of Dakota. Thc citizens
ol'that Territory protect that they do not
desire such accomplished officials, but wc
presume the President feels called upon
to repay the favors extended to him by
this skilfull accountant. It is a fair illus
tration of his Excellency's Southern poli
cy which may be defined as thc policy of
giving a carpet-bagger nu office wherever
it is possible in the South, ami of protect
ing Republicans from criminal prosecu
tion as far as possible.
The elections in France will come off
on thc Kith and ftOtll of September next,
at which time a new ('bamber of Depu
ties will be elected, and thr administra
tion of McMahon passed upon by thc
people. If the vote be favorable and a
Chamber of Deputies friendly to the
administration be elected, thc Dc Broglie
ministry will remain, but if the Repub
licans prevail the ministry will bo reor
ganized, mid the cause of republican
government upheld. The content v iii be
close ?ind fierce throughout Frunce, as
the magnitude of thc crisis is fully real
ized. lt is a fight by the ballot for self
government against a centralization, the
direct object of which is the destruction
of thc Republic and the establishment of
a monarchy in its stead.
.lohn J. Patterson, tliecapet-bag United
States Senator from South Carolinn, is
summering in Pennsylvania, where he
will probably reside in future, as he has
recently discovered that thc climate of
of this State is too hot entirely for a gen
tleman of his raising. He does not, how
ever, object to making public the views
of a Senator from South Carolina, on im
portant subjects, and hence, bc submits
to an interview upon tho subject of
Chamberlain's attack on the President,
lie thinks Chamberlain was too hasty in
his criticism of tho President, for it is
not yet certain what the President's
course will be. Patterson thinks tho
Republican party is dead, and for orien
wc agreo with him. We niuo agree with
him in thinking that the President has
not thrown overboard tho Radical crew ;
and henea, Southorn Democrats should
not stultify themselves hy giving him
any support further than is necessary to
securo particular measures that Republi
cans may bo divided upon, thereby giv
ing the Democratic Senator? the balance
of power.
Tho indian uprising in idaho and Ore
gon has been steadily increasing for the
past two weeks, and now it has assumed
auch formidable proportions aa to be re
garded hy tho administration at Wash
ington os equally serious as any which
lias occurred during late years. The
country in which it ia being carried on is
mountainous and sparcely settled, and
the Indians are waging the war of exter
mination for which their nature and ac
qU?Tnl&ajce. with tho country peculiarly
fits thom. Settlements deserted to avoid
the ferocity of the red skins, and in some
cases whole families have been slaught
ered and their houses and flocks pillaged,
by the savages. On the 10th inst., a
party of thirty-ono Chinamen, travelling
down tho Clear Water River, were sur
prised by Joseph, ono of the Indian
chiefs and his followers, who for a mero
pastime and rocrontion slew all but ono
of them, and he barely escaped. Several
battles on a small order have been fought
around and near Mouut Idaho between
tho Indiana and the United States troops,
in which tho Indians have bceu driven
from their positions, but tho number of
killed and wounded have been about
equal on both sides. The government is
showing a decided lack of determination
in this war, and is very much to bo cen
sured for allowing thc lives and property
of American citizens to romain nt the
mercy of inhuman savages so long. The
Cabinet, it is announced, has determined
to take every proper means to end tb?-*
outbreak and prevent the recurrence of
such conflicts in tho future This is n
??s^ w?s?~ ^?tenninatiori, and should ,be at
once and thoroughly carried into effect.
These Indian wars arc far too numerous,
and our government is too weak and len
ient in suppressing them.

said, will refuse to endorse President
Hayes' Southern Policy. This is not to

Our Charleston contemporaries, the
New? and Couria- and the Journal of
Comvicrcf, have shown their influenco
over the management of tho South Caro
lina Railroad by scouring the adoption
?if the new schedule, and now the up
country expects them to assist us in se
curing cheap and equitable freight rates.
Wc aro satisfied that if they will devote
naif thc zeal to securing low freights
which they have expended in accom
plishing the changed schedule, we will
soon bc relieved of the tyrannical and
and short sighted discriiniiiation in
charges to which we have buen subjected
tor several years past by the South Caro
lina Railroad Company. The new sched
ule between Charleston and the moun
tains is a step in thc right direction for
that city, but it will du it very little good
unless freights are also reduced. Our
merchants believe that the business men
of Charleston could control this matter if
they cared to do so, and as long as a dis
crimination exist-s hy which Greenville
and Spartanburg haw preference shown
them over points nearer to Charleston,
so long may our friends in that city look
for a large portion of thc trade of the in
terior to seek " other markets. The
freights ought to bc reduced by tho vol
untary action of the railroad, arni if it is
too contracted in its policy to make the
reduction thc force nf public opinion,
and tho pie.ssurc of business interests
ought to endeavor to cause ti proper re
duction ; and if this fails then it is the
duty of our Lcg?Mlnturc to compel the
authorities of this road to cease n dis
crimination which rs injurious to the in
terests of the road, to the city ol'Charles
ton and to the people of our State. Wc
hope thc press of the State will cry out
against thc unjust policy which oppresses
us, and especially we invoke the aid of
our Charleston contemporaries in the
cfFort to secure justice and equality for
all localities at tho hands of a corpora
tion created by our State for the public
good.
LOUISIANA RETURNING HOARD.
The action of thc New Orleans Grund
Jury, which indicted the Returning
Board of tho Crescent State for forgery
and perjury in thu counting and declar
ing of the vote for State officers and
Presidential electors last fall, has been
tho ?mbject of comment throughout the
United States for the past two weeks,
and the independent press of both politi
cal parlies agree lhat*lhe matter should
not he hushed up by anything short of a
full legal investigation, which will for
ever Bettie thc charges that have been
made about thc vote of this State as true
or false. The Democratic party believes
thnt this vote was cast for its candidates,
while a large mass of Republicans aro
equally confident that the State went Re
publican by a fair majority. A verdict
from a judicial tribunal is necessary to
put this ugly question forever at rest, by
either vindicating the integrity of thc
members of the Returning Board or by
indicting upon them thc punishment
their alleged acts deserve, thereby mak
ing a public example of them to check
the perpetration of such crimes in tho
future.
It has been claimed by Judgo Law
rence, a member of thc commission seut
by Graut to Now Orleans, that Governor
Nicholls promised that there should bc
no prosecutions for political offences, and
thrt this indictment is a violation of tho
agtecmcnt. It is more than possible that
Gov. Nicholls made this promise, but it
clearly has not the significance which
the Republicans wish to attach to it, un
less it contained more than the promise
mentioned, for neither perjury nor
forgery arc political offences-they arc
crimes against the common and statute
lawB of the land, and cannot be condoned
nor compounded by anything short of the
punishment prescribed for all crim?nala
who perpetrate them. The fuct that
officials of a Stato havo committed these
heinous offences decs not alter tho state
of tho case ono particle, unless it is tc
make it graver and more dungcrous as i
public example. Thc fact that Governoi
Nicholls opposes the indictment does ucl
amount to anything. Ho has no mort
right to interfere than a privato citizei
until a conviction mu! sentence is rcn
dered, and then he can only do so bj
granting a pardon, which it is alleged bj
some persons he will assuredly do if th<
members of this board arc convicted
We cannot believe ho has ever author
ized such a statement, for he must hnov;
that such a course on his part wonk
probably cause his impeachment, am
would certainly render him an object o:
detestation to all honest men. If Wolli
and Anderson are guilty, ho has no righ
to say that the laws shall not bc cxccutcc
against them, for all law-abiding citizen
ot b<S-h parties would prefer to have sucl
crimea punished for tho security of ou
government in future.
The trial of this interesting c&so wil
come off this fall itz rc.""lt will bc c
tho greatest importance to Presiden
Hayes. If a conviction is had he can
not afford longer to occupy tho Presi
dency, for although the verdict of the in
famous eight to seven commission ma;
in law give him a title to the ofllco capa
hlo of being sustained before a cour
reckless enough to have made the de
?:ision, yet ho could not for one instan

FENCE QUESTION. , ^
There is no conflict of interest bej d'
tbe owners of land nnd laborers on the
fence question, which is now agitating
the voten of this County. Thc question
is one of pure political economy, for
whatever beneiit*?tbe land owner is ad
vantageous to laborers, and whatever in
jures tho former, depreciates the value of
the labor of the latter. The remunera
tion of labor depends upon it? produc
tiveness and upon capital and demand.
Unproductive labor adds nothing to the
capital of a country, nnd therefore tends
to depreciate it* price. Now apply these
well known principles to the question of
the fence law, and it will at once be seen
that the interests of the Jami owner and
laborer ar? identical ; that whatever in
crease's the productiveness of labor adds
to the capital of the country, stimulates
industry, increases the demand for labor,
and, as a necessary sequence, enhances
its value. Now let it bc remembered
that all labor expended in erecting and
keeping up the fencing of tho County is
unproductive, and therefore naturally
tends to diminish the wages of the
laborer. The land owner does not pay
for labor which is non-productive, for
that which brings him nothing, but for
that which adds to his capital, and just
in proportion as labor adds to his capital
is he able and willing to pay for it. If
ali the non-productive labor of this
County expended in keeping up thc
fences was exerted in adding to the in
crease of the productions, that increase
would be very great, and constitute large
ly to the yearly increase of tho capital of
thc County, which would be of as much
benefit to the laborer as to the capitalist.
The result of fencing up the stock
would be to add largely to the area put
in cultivation, and enable thc cultivator
of the s"?l to select the best lands for
planting. The worn out spots now cul
tivated because enclosed, and which aro.
not remunerative to labor, would lie per
mitted to rest ami the rich ores culti
vated, thus amply repaying the laborer
for his toil, and the labor now spent on
fencing which produces nothing and for
which the laborer gets nothing, would
bc exerted to increase the productiveness
of the country, and thereby add to the
value and pt ice of labor. The land
owner pays for productive labor; he
ought not and cannot afford to pay for
that which is non-productive. The end
ui na inuUttitj ia piouuciion, uliu au
labor which does not produce something
valuable is utterly worthless. If the
laborer, therefore, would seek his own in
terest, be would seek to make his labor
productive, cud labor directed to the cul
tivation of the soil, upon which the very
existence of the human family depends,
is certainly much more valuable than
that exerted in felling timber and de
stroying forests to erect fences.
HAYES AM) THE SOUTH.
.Somo of the Democratic papers of the
South are advocating a support of the
President's so-called Southern policy,
upon the ground that wc are under obli
gations to him for past favors, and be
cause he ia now making a stand against
certain men in the Republican party,
which entitles him to support. Thc ef
forts of these papers is cunningly devised,
and bear upon their face the appearance
of great plausibility, but when investiga
ted it proves to be nothing more nor less
than a coalitiou with one wing of the
Republican party for thc purpose contin
uing it in power. This movement in tho
United States is a repetition of what has
taken place in South Carolina, and our
recent experience ought to be sufficient
to convince every one that no conlition
with a dishonest party ever proves ad
vantageous to honest men. On tho con
trary, a strong and vigorous campaign
against the tottering wreck of tho corrupt
and revolutionary structure erected by
the Republican party is almost sure to
accomplish its final overthrow. What
can be tho intention of those Southern
Democrats who advocate n divaion of
tho Northern and Southern Dmocrats
as to thia administration ? Tie Presi- I
dent has done nothing for wiich the
South ia under any more ob'gation to
him than the North. If ho does any- i
thing deserving the support c the Dem- 1
ocracy, why should this suport be sec- 1
tional? There ia no rcasa to justify '
any division of tho Democicy over the *
returning board Presidentor his South
ern policy. He has doneonly what his i
oath of office and the redute action of <
thc Democratic House of iepresentntives <
forced him to do. Tho deers appointed ,
by bini have not been ay iniproveis^nt
upon those given U3 b; Grant, and the

[EEN TURKEY AND
iSIAo
It is now ovid* that thc.success of the
Russians againstfhe Turks in thc pres

pectation. It \ra supposed that if this
conflict of arms should bc confined to
those two counties, Russia would in n
short time prom victorious, and dictate
her own terms? peace to Turkey, re
strained only Iii the other powers of
Europe. Suetyfliowover, has not been
the success of I? Russian armies. They
have met wi? disaster in Armenia.
Ratouin, KarSjgnd Erzuroum remain in
tact if thc han* of the Turks, while the
Russians have Ween forced to retreat, and
thc evacuation pl Irdahan and Bayazid
must soon take pljse. This will restore
to thc Turkish ?rces their old frontier

(irani In England.
Thc following letter to the New York
World, received from an Englishman of
distinction, as familiar almost with the
i United States aa with England, has been
. hi nded in for publication. It opens the
way, no doubt, for an interesting.''erie.') of
' social revelations :
LONDON, June 30.
, Well, t?eucral Grant has come and
: gone, besii lionized, dined and wined to
bis heart's content, and beyond, (mother
link has been forged in the chain which
binda together the two great branches of
the Anglo-Saxon race-I believe that's
the proper way of putting it-but, aa al
ways happens on such occasions, there is
a disagreeable under-current left behind
of tales told out of school which I sup
fose will bo sure to find their way to the
?gilt of day sooner or later.
Perhaps, therefore, there is no objec
tion to my lolling you that people were
not universally delighted here with thc
ex-President's ways, and that they wore
pretty universally disgusted with the
ways of some of thc people wiio made
. social capital for themselves out of his
visit or belonged to his suite. lu the
first place, h'm silence at most of the din
ners which bc attended was something
apallhig. On two occasions he literally
never spoke one word from the soup to
the salad. At another dinner he almost
broke up the company by objecting tc
allow the Duke ol' Cambridge to take
precedence of him-thia, doubtless, on
thc instigation of Picrropont.
Worst of all the stories current, how
ever, is that in thc Princess of Wales'
drawing room at Marlborough House bc
pulled out un enormous cigar and waa
going tri light it, when somebody stepped
up and prevented bim. However, he
must not be too harshly judged for this,
for when Mr. Seward was here, twenty
years ago, and was taken by Mr. Dallas
in full dress, with milled shirt-to a
private concert at Buckingham Palace,
lie. insisted on infecting himself with the
fumes of a huge Havana just before he
went in, in spite of a civil hint from Mr.
Dallas timi the Queen had a strong per
sonal repugnance to the smell of tobacco.
Moreover, it is well known that poor dead
Mrs. Thornton, the excellent housekeeper
of Windsor Castle, never got over thc
abominable conduct of Victor Emmanuel,
who, visiting the Castle when King ol
Sardinia, insisted on smoking all night
in bed, and thereby, as Mrs. Thornton
used to ?av, "noisyned" the beautiful
green satin hangings of his room.
llie "tricks and the manners" of thc
ex-President, however, probably would
not have annoyed people so much had it
not been for the insufferable way in
which he was compelled to drag the
minister and the. whole Picrrepont con
nection about with him wherever he
went. He waa incensed at this himself,
and openly expressed his satisfaction al
getting out of Cavendish square, (len,
Badeati was another bob on the Presi
dential kite which Happed unpleasantly
in people's faces; and it ia a great pity
that some kind friend had not advisee
General and Mrs. Grant to send thal
young hopeful, their boy Jesse, to school
before them in some ecol and healthy
part of Switzerland. On thc evening ol
the dinner nt Windsor this misguider;
lad, by way of making himself agreeable
to the Queen, went up to her Majesty ant

The Champion Murderer.
Mr. Courtney, Deputy Sheriff of D<
Soto Parish, recently arrested Willi*
Lungley, a desperate character, win
wauted in Texas for many high-hanui..
outrages he has committed in that State
He murdered his last victim in Lei
County, where he was well known am
feared as a bad man and remarkably
good shot with either pistol or rifle. Fo"
some time bc was confined in the count;
jail of Lee, but subsequently made hi
escape and fled to Louisiana, settling ii
De Soto Parish, where he has been 1 iv in j
quietly and peaceably for nearly tw<
years under the assumed name of Jack

ing of Lungley"o whereabouts, wrote ti
the Sheriff of De Soto Parish, giviug i
full description of the man and the crinv
ho had last committed, and cautionei
him to use every precaution for his cap
ture, as he or some of tho posse miga
possibly lose their lives. Soon everythinj
was quietly and systematically arrangci
for his capture.
Mr. Courtney and a small po??e wen
into tho neighborhood where t\eir mai
was living, and before he war aware o
what was going on they suddenly cam
upon him in the field ploughing and un
armed, taking him completely by sui

That was up, and seeing that tic had n
vossible chance of escape, gracefully sui
?endered, saying: "Gei t'emen, I kno\
what you want ; you arc after Williau
Lungley. I am thc man." Mr. Court
ney informed him that.he had guessei
correctly, and produced thc warrant fo
his arrest. Lungley, after being wei
secured, said ho might as well make
clean breast of it, as it would be the lat
of him when he leached Texas, and con
