E. B. MURRAY, Editor. THURSDAY MORNING, OCT. 4, 1877. Corbin has not yet returned from Eu* rope, and is not likely to do so soon. Hence, Butler will no doubt oe seated without any trouble. President Hayes bas appointed Judge L. C. Northrop, of tho Seventh Circuit, District Attorney for South Caromin, ?4 was foreshadowed last week. The ap pointment is an excellent one, and is universally approved by our people. The "Slayer Slain" will bo the bead ing to articles announcing the defeat of Roscoe Conkling for the United States Senate in New York this winter. He may have destroyed the success of Mr. Hayes' administration, but in doing so he hos killed the I????publican party, and as his Senatorial term is shorter than Mr. Hayes' Presidential tenure, be will be the iir.-t one to die from the effects of his own destructive inclination. Thc United States government has de cided to bring the wondering Indian tribes to the Missouri Hiver this winter and measure off their lands to them next year. With a view to carrying out this intention, the Indian posts and commis* nary stores will probably be removed to tho river, and the tribes will be com pelled to come to them for subsistence. Indications are not favorable to on early settlement of the Ind ian troubles. Judge Northrop's appointment ns Dis trict Attorney will cause tho election of another Judge by the coming Lcgihia torc, and Hon. W. H. Wallace, Speaker of the House, is tho probable choice. His election will vacate tho Speakership, and Messrs. Jos. L. Orr, of Anderson ; C. H. Simonton, of Charleston ; John C. Sheppanl, of Edgeficld ; Robert Aldrich, of Barnwell, and John Heinpbili, of Chester, aro oach prominently spoken of for the successorship. The trinl of thc Louisiana Returning B /ard tras to hove begun on last Monday in New Orleans. Wells and Anderson aro to bo defended by distinguished coun sel, and tho fight will no doubt be a long, protracted one, if they do not succeed in disposing of the coses on preliminary motions. One turn they aro seeking ia to securo the transfer of tho indictments to tho United States Court for trial. It is presumed, however, that this will fat, und that tho trial will go on. Ex-Sccrelary Sawyer hos been tried in Washington for complicity in securing thc posssgc nf a fraudulent- cotton o!??m for Parkman, Brooks & Co., of Memphis, for if?7,G?G, and he, with F. W. Brooks, of the abovo firm, were convicted and sentenced to ono year in tho penitentiary and one thousand dollars fine. Sawyer was to receive ono thousand dollars, but the proof did not nbow thnt ho ever re- 1 ccived anything, and hence tho jury re conmended him to mercy. The d?fen dants have taken an appeal. A correspondent of tho Charleston Journal of\ Commerce, writing from An derson, under date of September 25ib, and signing himself "Rex," nominates Hon. J. S. Murray, of Anderson, for the Asso ciate Justiceship, which is expected to bo made vacant by the retirement or removal of Judge Wright, and assigns aa a reason for the propriety of the nomination that it would divido the Judges of the Su preme Bench equally over tho different sections of our St'de. Thero will proba bly be a number of candidates for tho position. We are informed that the special in vestigating committee have developed a fraud in connection with $3,500 of State bonds, which wero deposited in the Comptroller General's office during Dunn's to tm by tho Southern T-'fo In surance Ckjupany. Dunn was enjoined by the courts not to deliver thesa bonds and yet they are not to be found in tho Comptroller General's office, but bonds bearing their numbera are owned by a Charleston Bank. How they got there ls now tho question for consideration. Dunn is an applicant for the position of Collector of Customs ?? Charleston, and St ls to be hoped the President will not appoint him until this and other ques tionable transactions have boen ex plained. A POLITICAL BLUNDER. Tho course of Conkling in tho Now York Convention hos been' a great sur prise aliko to his friends and his enemies. It has been believed for ?orno time past that Conkling was unfriendly to Presi dent Hayes' administration, but it was never thought that he would allow his passions to BO far master his judgment as to induce him to lay down the guage of battle to one wing of the Republican party In the very face of an important and doubtful straggle with an opposing political organization, but such has been bis course lu the late Republican Con ???.>nn Ht? floht uuon th? President has proved ominontly successful, and to-day Conkling is king of the Republi cans of New York. But hi? crown has been won at a very dear price, and the Democrats of the State are the parties w'ao will derive the benefit of the victory which his services have escurad for them. Tho Republicans wot- td at best have had o very doubtful ch. .co of securing tbs State this year, \* * the action of this convention utterly \v jtroys any prospect of victory which they might otherwise have achieved. Thu f ?alt of this action will, no doubt, prove beneficial to Southern interests, iW it dcu.ou6tsr.tcs conclusively that the president will have to look to Southern support to carry cul his measures, and he has already discovered that oueh support will only bo given where the mewn ros for which it ia asked are in themselves . desirablo and right Hence, wo are d?*? ' posed to behove that Mr. %. -okllng bia unintentionally been of service io iii* South ip^ -particular, and to tho Demo te party in gei?*r3?> - Th? kmg-hopod-for and mtch iked-about line of steamships from New rlaans to Liverpool ls at length ao unced, and assurance is given that tho no will be permanent and through bills f lading will bo signed from any Interior ity eithor by rail vt water. ? TOO STRANGE SOT TO BK THUR. The Varied UHI or Chamberlain's Cor reipondence. COLUMBIA, 8. C., September 27. The readers of tho News and Omrier will readily recall the report of an inter* view had in New York, some days ?Ince, with Niles G. Parker, -Mid published in the ATew* and Courier, in this interview mention wa? .made of a sale of certain documents by Parker to ex-Comptroller Dunn, said to have been effected through Mr. Ed. J. Maxwell, whom Parker Claimed wan hin attorney. Mr. Maxwell, who has been absent at thu North, re turned to Columbia n few days ago, and thinking that sonic further particulars re specting the transaction referred to by Parker might bo of interest, I called UIHMI him to-day far thc purpose of obtaining, if possible, a statcmeut of thu facts and circumstances of the case. A RELUCTANT ATTORNEY. Mr. Maxwell expressed considerable reluctance to mak? r.ny statement in re ?ard to his transactions with or for Par er, upon thc ground that there had been professional relations existing between them as counsel and client, and that, al though more than once provoked to r*?ply to some of Parker's assertions, he had deemed it the wiser courue to maintain silence under tho circumstances. In vi?w, however, of the statement which Parker lind voluntarily arni publicly made respectinjr this particular affair, he consented to give to your correspondent the following fuel* for publication in the New? and Courier : Mr. Maxwell said at the outset that bis visit to Sotith Carolina, which occurred in January, 187was solely in the inter est of Mrs. Parker, whose property had been seized by the sheriff upon thu exe cution against Parker issued on the judg ment obtained hy thc State in the coupon case. Ile had been given a letter V> ( mv ernor Chamberlain, who, it was said, would ui<l him in bis efforts toward re leasing this property. I'ARKKit I'KOVll'EH AMMUNITION. Parker, himself, had also placed in bis possession n mass of documentary evi dence which it was claimed would incul pate nearly every prominent State officiai. The only use o? those proofs ever made by Mr. Maxwell was in the one instance hereinafter tn bo mentioned. He bud been urged repeatedly to uso them against Mr. Chamberlain and others, in order to compel them to accede to certain de mands, but he had deemed it no part of his profes.si(inai duty so to do. Mr. Chamberlain lind been interviewed re peatedly in reference to Mr?. Parker's matter, and always promised co-operation. Hu did procure n bond to bc given to re plevin liic property, but the bond was ob jected to and set aside. He was urged to procure a release of thc property, and throughout the following spring and sum mer kopt promising, from day lu day, to do so, hut always excused himself on various pleas from performance. "Mr. Chamberlain," remarked Mr. Maxwell, "sneaks of different attorneys offering to sell him papers. No papers were offered by me, nor was any threat ever mado, or any inducement held out to him by nie. It waa considered that Mr*. Parker's claim WUK just." CHAMBERLAIN'S TRICK KR V. Governor Chamberlain soon impressed Mr. MsxwoH wi'-h the f?ct of bi? utter insincerity mid unreliability, and thc Int- 1 ter believed him to bo nnxious only to | keep Parker off until after tim Republi can Convention. By this timo Mr. Max well lind become pretty well assured, by personal acquaintance and familiarity with their record, of tho utterly corrupt character of the mon nt tho bend of the Administration in this State, and he as serts, with well-grounded confidence, t bat bo could at any time have made money out of the facts in his possession. He was given to understand in various ways, again and again, that hu could j NAM IC HIS OWN TRICE for tho napers, -'id was charged with neglect for not HO doing. But by this time Mr. Maxwell had begun to take an interest in tho late important political con test which then hud its beginning, und soon came to the conclusion that he could botter servo tho State, while nt thc same timo looking after tho interests of his client, by taking another course, and, it mny properly bo remarked hero, that in this as in his other transactions respect ing Parker, he acted with thc kuowb to and advice of well known and promit, "at citizens of Columbia. So r. J vised, he subsequently matured a plan which ho behoved would benefit his client, and at the same time servo tho interests of thc public. Tho Democratic Convention hnd met nod nominated Hampton. The Repub lican Convention was soon to assemble. Chamberlain, neting tho rolo of respecta bility, seemed, up to the latter ovent, to have things pretty much his own way. If ho ttucceeded in controlling thc con vention and dictating its policy and nom inees, it was feared that bo would carry the election. "I bolicved," snid Mr. Maxwell, "that no greater calamity than thia could happen to tho State. I had boon given to understand that in tho evont of re-election ho would first rectify bia former repudiation policy and securo tho payment of the due-bill hold by T^impton for commissions, and then get himself into tho Senate. Knowing tim man aa I did, I thought that whatever might be his professions of reform, they wero only made to continue himself and his adherents in power. I waa convinced that while he was unquestionably all his friends claimed for him as e. pol ished gentleman, and a man of cul ture, a scholar and a rhetorician, ho was nevertheless without principle. I thought then if I could aid in defeating him X would indeed, as I havo already said, be rendering the State good service. It was possible that if he (Mr. Chamber lain) wets defeated in the convention a worse, or equally objectionable, nv might be nominated. But it was sup posed that Dunn, who was bia principal ?pponsnt, would prove himself far more acceptable if elected, and, if defeated, tho election of Hampton would make ample amonds for the disaster to the Republican party." It was, therefore, determined to uso what influence might be derived through Parker in favor of Dunn. Par ker had made^ an arrangement by which i/unn WM tu na?o ?uv U?5VM? cf certain ??roofs IQ Mr. Maxwell's possession, and br which Parker was to be paid by Dunn, and was paid. It was foreseen that by s discreet UGO of some of rh CBC panera Chamberlain would either bo compelled to withdraw altogether, as Dunn ex pected, or be compelled to yield ground, the loss of which would be fatal to bia canvass. Tho result was as anticipated. THE NIGHT BEFORE THE NOMINATION a conference was held between Denn, Elliott ?cd Patterson, and from among tho papers sold to Dunn the document known as the "Negrophllism letter" was selected for use. Chamberlain was waited upon and given to understand that ho "roost n.-;ke terms." Up to the hour of that meeting he had been master of the situation. The Interview was a stormy one, but tho three conspirators were too strong for him, and tho matter waa settled in accordance with their views. Chamberlain was toCbe nomi nated, although Donn expected, to tho .last moment, that bs would withdraw, having been so informed by Patterson, who it is claimed deserted him only at thc tat hoer. The remainder of tho ticket was ioho made up of Dunn j Elliott. etr.!.nndOhafaberlain'aslate was smashed la bh presence. YUK "8TAB8" OP THE OONVKNTION. But "the public" was not prepared to accept any such ?chemo without question. Chamberlain had loudly asserted that ho would not tolerate such men on his tick et, and if he tamely nubroittoi the pub lic would suspect something. So it was ariaoged that Elliott thould carry out tho programme which had already been indi cated and which waa e?., "ly looked for by the crowd who throned to hear him "use up Chamberlain. It wa? now agreed that he should appc. r to keep Ma firomise and read a portion if thc dnmag ng letter only, while Chamberlain was tn bc ready with a reply, and thus the sham fight would bc carried out. How well thc farce was enacted ls well known ; both Chamberlain and lvlliott approved themselves consummate actors, and the two factions in thc convention were thoroughly imposed upon by the per formances of these favorite "?tarn." El liott made a grand onset at the begin ning of birt* speech, but reduced it to a mont lame and Impotent conclusion, am1 his hearers were alike disappointed and disgusted. The damaging ?tort'ion of (he Utter he held in his hand wu nut read, as was suspected at the time and as has been since become well known. Mr. Cham berlain replied in few words. Tatterson ambled into thc aisle and played his part by declaring his allegiance to the man lie had come from Washington expressly to defeat. Dunn received the nomina tion for comptroller. Elliott that for at torney-general. Mr. Chamberlain's pow er was broken, arni the seal set upon the fate of himself, of the ring ami of "the party" which had again over-mastered ami absorbed him body and soul. THU It EST OK THE STORY need not lie retold here, it is matter of recent and well known history. "I am satisfied," mid Mr. .Maxwell in closing the interview, "that but for that letter, and the arrangement based upon it, (the arrangement between Patterson, Dunn and Elliott) Mr. Chamberlain would have controlled the convention, would have been nominated, would have dic tated the nomination of his colleagues upon thu ticket-which would, undoubt edly, have enabled him to pr?sent a good front-and probably have elected him. TH AT HAY'S WORK KICTII.KI? IT. In reply to tho natural inquiry, "What became of those papers?" Mr. Maxwell said: "I havo understood that Mr. Cham berlain Hubscau ntly purchased them from Dunn. Il f? I know nothing about it. Eroin that day my business with them was at ?tu end, ami I have never been the means of cither selling or offer ing for Hale these or any other papers to any other party. Parker got less from thu transaction than I might have re ceived for him in other ways, but, as I have said, I never would listen to any [iroposal which bore the appearance of ilackmail. Parker subsequently de manded other papers in my possession, and I refused to deliver them to him or to any body else. I had legal authority for holding them. I have, however, de livered certain papers to tho attorney general upon procuring Parker's consent so to do, i.ut without any remuneration whatever or hopo of any. I believed that the .Stute alone had any right to them, regarded as criminal evidence, and had always asserted that thu .State alone should have them. I au. quite satisfied with the result of the ?inc particular "bargain" which I made. I do not think it proper foi mo to say more nt present either as to the contents of papers or evi dence, or us to t!:c persons involved. I may add, however, that j have been en gaged during the summer in tho prepara tion of a work to be entitled 'Hampton's Campaign in Booth Carolina,' to be pub lished this winter. This book will give a more complete history of certain men and events in this State than has evur yet appeared in prir.t.': The interview cl -.sed at this point. C. McK. - The principal fight in New York among thc Democrats is over tho renom ination of John Bigelow. The Evening Express sums up the opposition to him thus: "Ho abandons his post, neglects his duties, leaves the country, nad spends months on a tour of pleasure in Europe. He is not identified in any way with tue Democratic party, yet there aro Demo crats who think tho party ought to re nominate him. Not by a good deal. That is not thc kind of civil service the Democracy believe in. If such an office holder wanui to bu vindicated let bim I como home, strip off his coat and vindi cate himself." OUR GRANGE COLUMN. Under the Supervision of the Exeoutive Committee of Pomona Crange. "Homo," of Hopewell, asks, "will 'N,' in the Grange Column, give us his views on rico culture." In answer to tho request, "N" of tho Grungo Column is sorry to confer that his experience in rico culture is not such as will warrant bim in coming before tho public a? a teacher in that department. Hut will venture to suggest that there is an upland rice successfully grown in Georgie, and Alabama, which may be just us well adapted to thc soil and cli mate of this section of country, and ought to be tried at least. Our farmers feel tho need of something of this sort, .at would supply, nt a lower price, tho placo of the high priced .'ea coast grain. Besides being a wholesome diet, it afibrds to the ingenious matron the foundation for a variety of dishes to adorn hor table. We shall bo glad to havo some dots on this subject from anv ono having the necessary experience. Perhaps Bro. "L" j comd give us a few practical items when ho gota through with tho sorghum ques tion.
