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

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

tion. N.
