THURSDAY I0RNIN8, MARCH 20,1879.
The Intelligencer has repeatedly
invited-the News and Couritr to make
good its assertion that oar article of five
weeks ago contained what was untrue
about, our Charleston contemporary.
. The Newt and Courier hat failed to'do
this or to attempt it, and therefore the
public'can judge ^for themselves' as'^to
whether the News and Courier is not the
offending party against [truth. Its failure
to attempt a vindication of its charge
shows that its remarks about the Intel?
ligencer were a wilful^and deliberate
splenetic slander. There has already
been Bo'much unnecessary harshness in
the discussion, which has about wound
up, that we forbear any further strictures
on our metropolitan contemporary, al?
though its conduct in this instance richly
merits severer comment
One of the greatest pedestrian contests
ever undertaken has just been concluded
in Gilmore's Garden, New York. Row
ell, an Englishman, and O'Leaoy, Ennis
and Harriman, Americans, were the con?
testants. The contest was to begin at
12 z. m. on Monday morning and end at
11 p. m. on last Saturday night, the per?
son walking the greatest numbe: ? of miles
in that time to receive the champion's
belt, besides a large sum of money, as
were also all who walked more than 450
miles. Rowell won, walking 5(0 miles;
Ennis was second, walking 478 ; Harri?
man third, walking 450, and O'Leary,
who had hitherto been the champion of
the world, left the track several days be?
fore the end of the contest, making less
than 250 miles. No one of the first three
were off of the track for more than forty
hours during the whole six days.
.? The extra session of Congress which
assembled on last Tuesday is one of the
most important that has ever met since
the formation of the government, and
upon its course, in a large measure, de?
pends the future of our government
The issues it has before it are vital to the
very existence of our form of govern-1
ment, and the contest which is predicted
between the legislative and executive de?
partments ?ovsr these issues will be
watched as the solution of the problem
of future free government in America.
If the infamous election laws, which were
framed in the heat of passion which fol?
lowed the late war, and which to an un?
expected extent has placed the control of
the boasted free ballot into the hands of
the executive, cannot be repealed before
another national election is held, then it
may with certainty be predicted that the
frauds which made Mr. Hayes President
in 1876, when Mr. Tilden was elected,
will be repeated in 1880, and, gathering
strength from success, they will em?
bolden the executive until a formidable
attempt upon the Republic will be made.
The only hope for the prosperity and
peace of the country lies in the success
of the Democratic undertaking to abolish
these partisan and oppressive laws.
Mr. Samuel Lord, jr., of Charleston, in
a card to the News and Courier, claims
that .Kimpton's testimony on the bond
question was folly admitted before the
Bond Court in writing, and says that if
the Intelligencer and its allies intend
disregarding the decision of the Supreme
Court, they must look up. some other
ground upon which to do.so. Mr. Lord
has-got things a little mixed we presume,
as the Intelligencer has never given
expression to anything which warrants
the assertion that it intends to disregard
the decision of the Supreme Court, but it
has always admitted that such decision
would be binding unless reversed by
higher authority. So far as the state?
ment that Kimpton's testimony was ad?
mitted before the Bond Court is con?
cerned it is no doubt a fact but his oral
testimony is not what we needed so much
as the documentary evidence to be col?
lected from his books. That is the point
where the State lost by not having him
present ana that is one of the grounds
upon which we think the question should
have been taken out of the hands of the
Court. If we had Kimpton's books in j
evidence they would show and explain
the whole of the bond transactions, and
the bondholders have obtained an im?
mense advantage in his absence from the
? witness stand. Mr. Lord is one of the
attorneys for the disputed bonds, and
hence his opinion as to the State's case is
to be taken with much allowance, as he
Jooks r5 the matter with that bias which

of a litigated question.

The Democratic Senators held a caucus
to-day in the Senate chamber, continu?
ing from 2 until half past 3 o'clock. All
were present except Messrs. Maxcy, of
Texas, Jones, of Louisiana, and Hamp?
ton, of South Carolina. The object of
the caucus was to take measures prelimi?
nary to the formation of standing com?
mittees. Wallace was re-elected chair?
man and Beck secretary of the caucus.
The following named were appointed as
a committee to rearrange the standing
committees and report to an adjourned
meeting on Monday, at 12 o'clock:
Messrs. Wallace, McDonald, Eaton, Ran?
som. Cockrell, Davis, of West Virginia,
Garland, Grover and Pendleton. The
caucus, after discussion, agreed upon the
following basis for reorganization of the
committees: First, seniority; second,
the choice of committee by one having
two or more chairmanships; and third,
the arrangement of chairmanships for
the vacancies, according to this pro?
gramme. Eaton, the senior Democratic
member of the Committee on Foreign
Relations, will be its chairman; Finance,
Bayard; Military Affairs, Randolph;
Judiciary, Thurman; Public Lands,
McDonald; Indian Affairs, Coke; Pen?
sions, Withers; Claims, Cockrell; Dis?
trict of Columbia, Harris; Patents,
Kerran; Territories, Garland; Mines
and Mining, Hereford; on Revision of
Laws, Wallace. Saulsbury has the

ginia, has the choice of chairman of Ap?
propriations and Agriculture; Johnston,
bf Manufactures and Revolutionary Pen?
sions : Gordon of Commerce and Educa?
tion and Labor; Why te, of Civil Service
and Retrenchment, Naval Affairs and
Printing; Ransom, of Railroads and Li?
brary. In addition to the above, Thur?
man was chairman on Private Land
Claims, and Johnston chairman of the
Committee on Revolutionary Claims, the
only committees with Democratic chair?
men and a majority of Democrats. In
addition to the standing committees,
there are ten select committees, only two
of them having Democratic chairmen?
Davis, of West Virginia, and Harris.
The chairmanship of committees other
than these above named will be arranged
by the committee. The Republicans will
be furnish cd with a list of the Democratic
members placed on the committees by
the caucus, in order that they may fill
the blanks left for Republican Senators,
following the usages in such cases. The
subject of changing the elective officers
of the Senate was not acted upon by the
caucus, which adjourned until Monday,
noon, next.
Washington, March 17.
An adjourned caucus of Democratic
Senators was held in the Senate Chamber
this afternoon for the purpose of receiv?
ing the report of the committee of nine
appointed by the caucus of Saturday to
prepare the Democratic membership of
the Btanding committees. The com?
mittee announced that the work assigned
to them was unfinished, and. it was re?
solved to extend their time until to-mor?
row afternoon immediately after the ad?
journment of the Senate. Some discus?
sion then occurred with regard to the
advisability of proceeding to nominating
and balloting for officers of the Senate.
It was generally conceded that there was
no need for haste in disposing of that
subject, and it was therefore agreed to
postpone its consideration until Thursday
next. Senator Beck offered a resolution
providing in substance that the legisla?
tive business of the Senate during the
extra session shall be confined to the
passage of the two annual appropriation
bills which failed of enactment at the
last session, including the political meas
uses that were incorporated in them by
the House of Representatives, viz., the
repeal of the Federal election laws and
of the jurors' test oath, and the prohibi?
tion against the presence of troops at the
polk. After some discussion this resolu?
tion and the general subject of the order
of business were referred to the following
committee, with instructions to report to
the caucus to-morrow or as soon there?
after as practicable: Messrs. Thurman,
Saulsbury, Whyte, Kernau, Jones, of
Florida, Bailey, Lamar, Voorhees and
Vance. All the Democratic Senators
were present at to-day's. caucus except
Messrs. Gordon, Maxcy and Hampton.
Mr. Gordon is ill. Mr. Maxcy is ex
Sscted to arrive from Texas to-night, and
eneral Hampton has not yet left South
Carolina.
Washington, March 17.
In the Democratic caucus to-night the
first ballot for Speaker resulted as fol?
lows : Randall, 75; Blackburn, 57; Mc
Mahon, 3; Morrison, 2; Cox, 4. This
insures the nomination of Randall for
Speaker of the Forty-sixth Congress on
the first ballot.
Washington, March 17.
The Republican members elect of the
House of Representatives held a caucus
in the Hall of the House this afternoon.
Frye, of Maine, was elected chairman,
and Amos Townsend, of Ohio, secretary
of the caucus, which thereupon proceeded
to nominate candidates in behalf of the
Republicans for the various elective
offices of the House. The following were
nominated unanimously: For Speaker,
Gen. Garfield, of Ohio; for Clerk of the
House, ex-Congressman Rainey, of South
Carolina; for Sergeant-at-Arms, Gen.
Jeremiah M. Rusk, of Wisconsin ; for
Doorkeeper, James M. Milton, of Ten?
nessee; for Postmaster, Gen. Henry
Sherwood, of Michigan; for Chaplain,
Dr. Naylor, of the Metropolitan Metho?
dist Episcopal Church, Washington City.
The following were appointed te act as
an exeeutive and advisory committee of
the Republican caucus throughout the
46th Congress: Representatives Frye,
Garfield, Conger, Dunnell, James, Har?
ris, Henderson, Harmer and Haskell.
After some discussion as to its form, but
with practical unanimity in regard to its
purpose, it was resolved, as the sense of
the caucus, that no legislation shall be
entered upon during this session other
than that for which the session was
! specially called. During the preliminary
I interchange of views, a general desire
was expressed for a short Bession.
The Homestead.?Judge Aldrich
rendered a very important decision last
week on the question of homestead exem
tion, Bays the Newberry Herald. With?
out giving the names of parties, the facts
areas follows: Judgment was obtained
before a trial justice against defendant,
and he claimed tbe benefits of the
homestead law. He owned no land.
Appraise re were appointed to set him
apart a homestead in his personal prop?
erty. The appraisers made their return
jetting apart to defendant personal prop?
erty specified in the Constitution as ex?
empt to tbe amount of $250, but refused
to set apart corn, bacon, flour and fodder,
these articles, in the judgment of the
commissioners, not being exempt accor?
ding to law. The defendant moved the
trial justice for an order of assignment,
on tbe ground that corn, fodder, bacon
and flour should have been set apart to
him as exempt. The trial j ustice decided
against him, holding that these articles
were not exempt, except when the pro?
ducts of a homestead; that these articles
were not the yearly products of defen?
dant's homestead, because he owned no
real estate, and that they were not ex?
empt as personal property, because they
were not enumerated as exempt under
tbe Constitution. The defendant ap
Sealed to tbe Circuit Court. Judge Al
rich sustained the appeal, holding that
the personal property a debtor of every
description is exempt to tbe amount of
$500. We learn that the judgment cred?
itor proposes to appeal to the Supreme
Court. That Court already has one or
more cases of an exactly similar charac?

SENATOR BAYARD'S VIEWS.
The Tent Oath ami Federal Election Law)
Mast be Repealed?Injustice of the One
and Tyrannical Character of the Other.
From Ike New York Herald.
Senator Thomas F. Bayard, of Dela?
ware, is passing a portion ?f the interval
between the close of the Forty-fifth Con?
gress and the time fixed for the extra ses?
sion of the Forty-sixth in this city. As
this distinguished gentleman is regarded
as the head of the more conservative por?
tion of the Democratic party, his views
upon the proposed legislation which re?
sulted in the failure of important appro?
priation bills will be read with interest
throughout the. country. A Herald re?
porter called upon the Senator yesterday,
when the following conversation, in
which such views are embodied, took
place:
Reporter?Will there be any general
legislation at the extra session of Con?
gress?
Senator Bayard?I am disposed to
think the session will be short, and con?
sequently there will be no time to con?
sider any but essential measures.
Reporter?To what measures do you
refer as essential ?
Senator Bayard?The two appropria?
tion bills which failed and the passage of
the laws demanded by the House of
Representatives at the last session.
Reporter?What are the latter?
Senator Bayard?A repeal of the war
test oath of 1862, which now excludes
nearly the entire white population of the
Southern States from the jury box; the
enactment of a law providing for impar?
tial juries, the right to which is so plain?
ly guaranteed to every person by the
fifth amendment of the constitution; an
amendment of the present law which
permits the presence of armed forces at
elections to keep the peace, and the re?
peal of those sections of the Revised
Statutes which provide for the appoint?
ment of federal officials as supervisors of
elections in the several States, and of
countless deputy marshals with unlimited
power of arrest, with or without process,
even while the election is proceeding,
and their own immunity from arrest by
State authority, no matter how arbitrary
or outrageous their misconduct.
method of drawing jurors.
Reporter?You speak of impartial
juries. Are not the modes of drawing
jurors in the United States Courts which
are held in the Southern States the same
as are employed to obtain jurors for ser?
vice in the State Courts?
Senator Bayard?Not at all.^ The
selection in those States of jurors is prac?
tically left in the discretion of the United
States Marshals, who generally act under
the suggestion or control of the United
States District Attorneys and sometimes
of the Federal Judges. It is true that
the Revised Statutes of the United States
contain a loosely worded section which
was intended to assimilate the mode of
drawing federal jurors to that followed
under the laws of the State in which the
Federal Court is held, but in Georgia,
for instance, where they have an excel?
lent State jury system, established by the
State Constitution of 1868 (Republican,)
that system has been wholly disregarded
by Judge Woods and Mr. Justice Brad?
ley, and the arbitrary selection of jurors
by the clerk of the Federal Court or the
Marshal has been sustained against pro?
test. In Maryland and Delaware the
Federal Marshal summons such persons
as jurors as he pleases, and there is no
legal remedy. As a consequence the
grand a letit juries are composed
sometimes .holly and generally almost
entirely of men of one political party.
You can readily see the consequences
when the offence charged against a per?
son on trial is political in its nature.
Impartial verdicts are in this way ren?
dered well nigh impossible, and the feel?
ing of injustice caused thereby is deeply
seated and is growing in intensity.
Reporter?Wheu were the laws passed
creating these supervisors and deputy
marshals ?
Senator Bayard?In 1870-71, and
amended in 1872, about a year or two
alter I went into the Senate. The ne?
cessity for the repeal of these laws is
manifest. When they were first pro?
posed I saw the danger to the peace of
the country which they contained, and
from my place in the Senate declared
them to be fraught with peril. I de?
clared that they were grossly unconstitu?
tional, and so utterly invasive of the
essential rights of each State that their
execution would be inconsistent with the
peace of the Union.
the election of senators.
Reporter?Under the laws which you
propose to repeal can these supervisors
and deputy marshals interfere with the
election of Senators of the United States ?
Senator Bayard?Practically they can
and do most dangerously in this way:?
The same clause of the constitution that
gives to Congress a revising power over
State regulations as to time, place and
manner of holding elections is precisely
the same in relation to the election
of Senators as it is to Representatives in
Congress, excepting that the "place" of
the election of Senators cannot be con?
trolled by Congress. But as Congress
may fix the "place and time," as well as
the "manner" of holding elections for
Representatives Congress may appoint
the very "time and place" which the
State has indicated for the election of her
Legislature, and in that way compel the
presence of marshals and supervisors at
the place and time of electing members
of the Legislature. I do not see how the
State can escape. It is also plain that
if Congress has power to place supervi?
sors and marshals at the polls where Rep?
resentatives in Congress are elected; Con?
gress has equal power, for it is conveyed
in the pame sentence of the constitution,
to put a deputy marshnl at the elbow of
each member of a State Legislature du?
ring the election of a United States Sen?
ator and supervise the records of the
Legislature. The exercise of such a
power is just as fatal and not more fatal
to the rights of the State in one caae as
in the other, and its claim by Congress
is just as allowable iu one case as in
the other. The whole design of local
self-government is overthrown if such
powers in Congress are admitted to exist
and are exercised. I saw this plainly in
1871, and only see it more plainly now.
It is just as important for the United
States to secure nonest elections of State
legislators as of members of Congress, for
the State legislators choose United States
Senators.
the federal election laws.
Reporter?Does the repeal of these
sections relating to supervisors and dep?
uty marshals, as proposed by the late
House of Representatives, interfere with
punishment of frauds committed at elec?
tions?
Senator Bayard?No. The proposed
repeal would simply remove federal su?
pervisors and United States Marshals
from control of the conduct of elections
in the States, but would not exonerate
any dishonest voter or official from the
consequence of his offence, as now defined
by law.
Reporter?Do you think that the
President will refuse his approval of
these reforms?
Senator Bayard?I cannot believe that
ho would feel warranted in such action.
There can be no conceivable constitution?
al scruple alleged for refusing his assent
thereto, and there is abundant and plain
constitutional reason why he should join
in giving effect to measures which both
houses of Congress, truly und confessedly
representing the majority of the Ameri?
can people, have deliberately presented
to him as essential to the peace and wel?
fare of the whole country. There would
certainly be a very heavy responsibility
upon him and his conscience, involving
consequences which I do not care to con?
template should he set his individual
opinion and par'.y inclinations against the1
earnest convictions and deliberate ex?
pressions of a House of Representatives
fresh from the people, and a Senate
charged with upholding the rights of the
several States.
Reporter?As far as you know are the
opinions which you have expressed ej>s
tertained by tbe democratic Senators and
Representatives who will meet at the ex?
tra session ?
Senator Bayard?I believe they are to
a man firmly united in respect to the
righteousness and necessity of the meas?
ures to which I have referred.

painful wound.When the G. & C. R.
R. began the rebuilding of the Laurens
Road it issued bonds to those who con?
tributed money towards its reconstruction
to the amount of $175,000, these bonds
beingsecured by a mortgage of the Lau?
rens Road. $150,000 of these bonds have
been subscribed for and taken up. Re?
cently a bill was filed in Columbia to
foreclose the mortgage and have the road
sold. The bondholders are endeavoring
to protect their interest by organizing and
deciding on some plan of action. The
majority of the bondholders are in favor
of buying the road and severing it from
the G. & C. R. R. The chairman of tbe
committee appointed on tbe 4tb, Mr. F.
J. Pelzer, of Charleston, will call the
bondholders together as soon as that
committee is ready to make a report.
The Laurens Railroad owns no rolling
stock, and it is impossible to make any?
thing like an accurate estimate of the
value of the road. The fact that the
bonds are selling for about thirty cents
on the dollar indicates very clearly that
it would not sell for the amount of tbe
mortgage.

The Canal Agreement.
There seems to be some misapprehen?
sion arising in our city touching the ac?
ceptance by the commission of the propo?
sition submitted by Mr. Thompson. The
facts of the case do not warrant the very
natural anxiety felt in the premises, and
for which we attach no blame whatsoever
to the public, for a burnt child dreads
the fire, and the years hitherto frittered
away in the vain Sprague contract is
calculated to make our people somewhat
incredulous as to these contracts.
The present facts are these?that the
contract entered into by the commission?
ers cannot be fully carried out until the
Legislature shall grant a charter to tbe
parties proposing the completion of the
water power and the erection of manu?
facturing improvements, the same to be
performed in two years. Now, the pres?
ent work under the present appropriation
in no way interferes with this Thompson
arrangement, but will go on just as if no
such arrangement had been entered into
by the commissioners.
If the proposition entertained by the
commissioners should be consummated
by the Legislature in the making of cer?
tain grants, under such guarantees as the
case would demand, then the work which
will now be carried on will serve to facil?
itate operations under the Thompson
contract. But if the Legislature should
refuse to make the graut, then the work
would go on under Engineer Holley's
plan towards the completion of the im?
provement. This is all of it if we should
write a week, and it Becms to us the com?
missioners, whilst wisely taking advan?
tage of what is esteemed, on the whole,
an advantageous proposition, have done
so, so as not to defeat present operations
one iota. The conclusion is that the
canal is an absolute necessity to our city
and a great desideratum to the State at
large, and it ta becoming more and more
popular with the people of the State
every day as its merits are discussed and
its great value more understood by the
people at largo.
It is plain, with tho best water powor
in the South, as Mr. Thompson pro?
nounced ours to be, and he did so to us
in person, telling us that be had been ten
weeks in the South looking up this mat?
ter, and deliberately pronounced this to
be tbe case a-? a practical and experi?
enced mill engineer?it is plain that a
great manufacturing city is Columbia's
future destiny, and that as such she must
become a most important, market for all
kinds of up-country products. Now,
thon, let U3 all put our heads together to
carry on our share of the bargain in good
part, and if the contracting parties can
make a good thing out of it, so much the
better for us; for so much surer will be
the great success of the enterprise. Let
us not shake loose from the first party
who, oomjn^ to us with the very best
Northern references, has given the best
evidences of being in earnest in develop?
ing a great resource which has been so
long idle. Let us give him a helping
hand in this matter, whilst, at the same
time, we show our faith in the enterprise
by going on with the present work.?Co?

that justice was being done.
? Tho Duke of Newcastle, a well
known sporting man, is dead. In twelve
years he ran through a property that
brought him $300,000 a year, and his
furniture was sold at auction.
? Hon Henry Waterson, the editor of
the Louisville Courier-Journal, is in
Washington endeavoring to secure the
Secretaryship of the Senate for his
father, Harvey M. Watterson, now in
his sixty-eighth year, who was a Repre?
sentative from Tennessae forty years ago.
? Secretary Sherman estimates that
the arrearages of pensions bill will cause
a deficit in tho Tieasury of $28,000,000.
Congress appropriated money to pay
these arrears, but made no provision for
raising the funds. This matter will be
brought before Congress at the extra
session.
? The Atlanta Constitution says that
Redpath and other apostles, including
the Hon. Eli Perkins, are to be engaged
in composing a bible for use- among Re?
publicans. The object of this is to get a
version of the ten commandments that
will be satisfactory to the members of
the party.
? The "candid opinion" of the New
York Star is that an effort on the part of
Mr. Tilden to obtain a second nomination
for the Presidency would hopelessly di?
vide the Democratic party. But it must
be remembered that Mr. John Kelly is
one of the owners of the Star, and that
Mr. Kelly is rabidly anti-Tilden.
? The Washington Republican is re?
sponsible for the statement that Repub?
lican leaders fifteen years ago favorea the
pensioning of Confederate cripples, and
General Grant heartily approved the
plan. The Republican wishes to "whoop
up" the solid South for Grant. May we
not ask our Washington contemporary,
"What are you giving us?"
? At a Republican mas3 meeting at
San Francisco, Tuesday night, the senti?
ments endorsed were that while crediting
Mr. Hayes with honesty, of purpose in
vetoing the Chinese bill, his action did
not represent the views of the Republi?
can party in California, and the party
in California, and the party declined re?
sponsibility therefor.
? A venerable darkey carrying a small
satchel took bis stand at the head of the
market on Saturday night. His sign
board consisted of an illuminated dry
goods box which bore the inscription,
"Let us save the Azor," and his stock in
trade consisted of a lot of framed and
unframed photographs of the noted bark.
It is supposed that the exodites are trying
to raise the wind in this way so as to en?
able them to haul the bark off the legal
lee 9hore upon which she is now stranded.
Business was not brisk.?News and Cou?
rier.
? The store of Charles K. Walton, at
Yanceyville, Louisa County, Va., was
burned Sunday, the proprietor perishing
in the flames. The people attracted to
the scene were deterred from rendering
assistance by the knowledge that powder
was kept in the store. When it exploded
one side of the house was blown out.
Walton's body was four.d minus legs,
arms and head, which had been blown
off. It is believed that Walton was mur?
dered for the money he had in the store,
and the building then fired. Much ex?
citement prevails. Walton was a popu?
lar young man, and belonged to one of
the most respected families in the county.
? It is stated that Hayes' message to
the Forty-sixth Congress will be brief,
and mainly confined to the objects for
which the extra session is called. He
will, however, ask for an appropriation to
supply a deficiency of twenty-eight mil?
lion dollars lost by reduction of the i
tobacco tax. In regard to the probability
of the Democrats insisting on a repeal of
the test oath and supervisor of election
laws as a condition of granting supplies,
Mr. Hayes says he has not yet seen the
programme, and therefore could not pass
an opinion upon it, but he could not be?
lieve, in the absence of information, that
any revolutionary movements were con?
templated.
? Mrs. Ann Eliza Young has written
a long letter to Mrs. Hayes on the sub?
ject of polygamy, which closes as follows:
"Polygamy desolates every home which
it enters. Surely it will neither be im?
proper nor unwise for you to exert your
influence against that vast and increasing
crime. It is opposed to all that you
prize in domestic and social life; it
makes the civilized, Christian home im?
possible. Even if you can only do but
little?though you can only speak words
of sympathy, such words will speedily be
wafted westward to thousands of aching
hearts; and will be refreshing as the dew
of morning to many a weeping Hagar,
wandering in worse than desert lands."
? The Russian government has or?
dered from France a monument to com?
memorate its triumph over Turkey. The
design is by an aged artist of St. Peters?
burg, who took part in the campaign of
the Napoleonic invasion. On the top of
a truncated pyramid stands a Russian
eagle, with his talons upon the crescent
and the Turkish standard. On the four
6ides of the pyramid the most important
events of the war are depicted in bas
relief. Among the exploits to be repre?
sented arc the orossing of the Danube,
tho blowing up by torpedoes of a Turkish
ironclad, the storming of Kars, the visit
of the Czar to the hospital of Simnitza,
and the encampment of the Russians be
; fore Constantinople.
? The latest style of putting up a tel?
egraph line is to plant toe telegraph pole
' with gunpowder, as it were. The Scien?
tific American says that a man takes a
bundlo of cartridges and a crowbar;
drives tho crowbar into the ground four
or fivo feet; pulls out and drops in a
cartridge; lights a time fuse and drops it
op top of the cartridge, and starts ou.
By the time he has walked 200 feet, to
where the next telegraph-pole is lo be
planted, the cartridge left in the last
dole explodes, and makes a hole in the
f;round four or five feet deep, and as
arge around as a flonr-bnrrol. Then
threo men come along with a team and
Coles, and set up a pole in cadi of these
oles, and tramp the dirt around it firmly.
In this way four men can set up 150
poles a day, at a cost of only one-third
of that required whero the holes are dug
in the ordinary way.
? One of tho strangest accidents on
record took place on Saturday. It is re?
ported by the Cincinnati Enquirer, and
properly comes under the head "Strange,
if True." When the tow-boat Joseph
W. Gould was coming down the rivor,
they overtook Boynlon above Ironton,
swimming in the viver with his gum
rubbor suit on, They put a ropo around
him and took him in tow, intending to
tow him as far as Portsmouth, but while
bowling along at the rate of eight miles
an hour, and everything going on swim
mingly, they met with a stretching mis?
hap. The foot of Boyton's rubber suit
caught on a snag, and, as the boat could
not be stopped in time, something had to
stretch or break. The boys say they be?
lieve that gum suit stretched out 100 feet
long, but when the snag broke off, where
wa3 Boynton? The pilot says he Baw
something ricocheting on the water about
a half a mile ahead of them, like a
twenty-inch bomb shell thrown from a
mortar.
? Colonel Georg? W. Busbyhead, an
ex-chief of the Cherokee Indians, ?(
North Carolina, and also an ex-Confed?
erate Colonel, was in our town Monday
and Tuesday last. He had with him a
Cherokee Baptist preacher named Suate
Owl, who could net speak one word of
English. They had been on a visit to
their friends among the Catawba Indians,
eight miles south of this. Most ef the
Catawbas are familiar with the Cherokee
language, and on Sunday last this Indian
divine preached to them in that lan?
guage, which is a written one, he having
with him a Cherokee Testament. From
Colonel Bunhyhead we learned that
about 300 of the Cherokee tribe, out of a
total of about 1,500, belong to the Meth?
odist and Baptist denominations. Col?
onel Bushyhead raised a regiment from
among his warriors during the Confed?
erate war, and led them most gallantly
on many a bloody field in East Tennes?
see. While here be solicited aid for
some of the very indigent of his people.
Several of our citizens gave him small
contributions, for which he expressed
the highest appreciation. He was well
pleased with the kindness Bhown him by
our people.?Bock Hill Herald.
? The lawB of the land are good
enough and severe enough ; there is no
fault to be found on that point; but it is
the want of a rigid, fearless and impar?
tial enforcement which invites crime,
and the law's delay in eur courts which
rather encourages it. Our courts and
their proceedings need reform?a very
radical reform. The lawyer sinks his
good citizenship, his individuality, his
inmate love of right and justice in becom?
ing tbe advocate. Quibbling, delaying,
technicalities, sophistries all are brought
to bear in a criminal cose, and the most
extraordinary efforts made to save a mur?
derer when he has bad a fair and impar?
tial trial. Many times the murderer not
only has one trial, but two and three,
and when he is at last sentenced,
then petitions are gotten up to be sent to
the Governor for a pardon or reprieve.
When public sentiment shall be educated
to deal out justice, and see that it is
speedily executed; when our court rooms
cease to be converted into trial farces;
when lawyers shall be taught that one
fair trial is all that will be granted to a
criminal; in a word, when public senti?
ment shall be educated to a high sense
of right and justice, and a great respect
for law and legal statutes, not only until
then need a reform be looked for. When
public sentiment shall declare that a
man who in a 'quarrel shoots down an?
other, being armed at the time, shall be
considered as having armed himself to
provoke or give an insult, a murderer,
and tried as such, and bung as such,
there will be a healthy reaction as to tbe
carrying of arms and the taking of life.
?Savannah Recorder.
The Poor Deluded Negroes.
Some of the Bepublican newspapers at
the North, and particularly in this city,
have seized the opportunity of a few ne?
groes migrating from certain parts of the
Southern States to Kansas, or elsewhere
in the Northwest, to represent this as a
significant movement, and as the result
of unfair treatment of the colored people
by tbe whites. In the first place, there
is no considerable migration, and certain?
ly not to the Northwest. Whatever is
taking place is from tbe poorer soil of tbe
Atlantic States to the richer lands of the
Mississippi Valley in the South. The
negro likes excitement and change, es?
pecially since emancipation, but the
mass of negroes are working contentedly
and earning good wages with their old
masters, or in the locality of their eld
homes.
Still, it appears some have been the
victims of unscrupulous speculators, as
nearly all are of the wandering peddlers,
and as they were of the Radical politi?
cians during and immediately after the
war. Every one remembers how these
good-natured, confiding and simple peo?
ple were humbugged by the Radicals
promising them a mule and forty acres
of land each. It seems the Kansas spec?
ulators have been practicing a like de?
ception. The Kansas City Times, of the
5th, says a large number of colored emi?
grants from Mississippi came the day
before. They were of the genuine old
plantation kind, and full of belief of the
various stories that had been told tbem
before leaving home. After all their
baggage had been unloaded and piled
away, one of the party stepped over to
the Kansas Pacific land office, and thus
addressed one of the officials .* "Say, boss,
whar do dey get dem $200 and dat 160
acres of land. I'se come all de way from
ole Mississippi wid de ole woman and de
picaninnies to get dat, and dey do tell
me ober dar (pointing to the Union De?
pot) de Gobenor cb dis State am a col
lord gentleman; is dat so boas ?" Frank
Crane told him there must be some mis?
take, as at present they were not giving
away any money or land. The honest
darkey'scountenance fell several feet, and
he left, stating "he would leave de ole
woman here and see dat Gobenor." and,
purchasing a ticket for Topeka, ne left
on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
train for that point.
In all probability some loud mouthed
Radicals, who are in the habit of vocifer?
ating about negro rights, are at the bot?
tom of this swindle. In time the colored
people will learn who are their best
friends.?New York Star.
The Drainage Law.
An Act to provide for Drainage in the
Counties of Anderson and Beaufort.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House
ef Representatives of the State of South
Carolina, now met and sitting in General
Assembly, and by the authority of the
same;

lation of this Act shall be punished by a

fifty dollars, in the discretion of the
Court before which the enso may be
tried.
Sec 3. Any pereon convicted of cut?
ting down trees across or into running
ntrcnms upon the lands of another, in
the Counties aforesaid, shall be liable to
the same punishment above prescribed.
Approved December 23,1878.
Caupet-Baooers Going West.?It
is not generally known that the thriving
and hitherto happy youngCommonwealth
of Colorado has become the Mecca of
the Southern carpet-baggers, who are
swarming thither from the desolate pas?
tures of the South, where for the past ten
years they have been feathering their
nests at the expense of a war-worn peo
Slc. About a year and a half since,
Utlgo R, B. Carpenter, a South Carolina
judge under Ohamberlnin's administra?
tion, and a notorious faro dealer, went te
Denver City, where he opened a faro
bank and a law office, and was soon fol?
lowed by ex-Congressman L. Cass Car?
penter and about a dozen of the lesser
lights of South Carolina Radicalism.
Suite a numbor of carpet-baggers have
so gone to Denver City from Arkansas,
Alabama and Mississippi, and the good
people of Colorado will soon find them?
selves at the mercy of a most graceless
Bet of knaves. Dakota is to be burdened
with ex-Senator Spencer, who has been
laying pipe for a warm reception by in?
flating the Dakota items on the river and
harbor bill about 200 per cent. Ho was

extent, but he bent all his legislative en?
ergies in the direction of building up his
proposed new base of operations.? Wash

Randall's Form an.?Mr. Joseph 0.
S. Blackburn, of Kentucky, who pro?
poses to dispute the claimi of Sam Ran?
dall for the Speakership of the next
House, is now serving his third term in
Congress and is a recognized leader on
the Democratic side. Joe is41 years old,
a graduate of Centre College, Kentucky,
a lawyer by profession, entered the Con?
federate army in 1801 and servod to the
close of the war. He walks with a bad
limp?the effect of a Union bullet hav?
ing been deposited in his left leg by
a boy in blue to remind Mr. Blackburn
that his attempt to overthrow the consti?
tution and the Union was a somewhat seri?
ous and reprehensible undertaking. He
is a free and easy speaker, and his orato?
ry largely partakes of the usual aurora
borealis style that characterized the typ?
ical Southern stumper. His presence is
good and his voice resembles the sound
of a fireman's trumpet, which is a needed
qualification in a man who wish&i to be
heard in so boisterous and turbulent a
body as the House of Representatives.
Undoubtedly he would make as good a
presiding officer as Randall, but that is
saying very little in praise of Joseph?
He lacks a little of the dignity that Ran?
dall possesses?and Randall never bad
any to spare?but that Joe will rival
Sam as a partisan, if be ever gets into
the Speaker's chair, there can do little
doubt. Blackburn represents in his own
proper person the very latest and most
approved style of modern Democracy,
and is, therefore, a most fit man to be
made the conspicuous figure-head of an
extra session of Congress that has been
called in consequence of the parti?
san blindness and stubbornness of
his party. A dyed-in-the-wool Bourbon,
a States' rights Democrat and an ex
Confederate brigadier, all united in one
and the same person, present claims for
consideration that cannot be ignored by
the new order about to be established in
Washington.?From the Chicago Trib?

Fatal Affray in Atlanta.?Col.
Robert A. Alston, a native of South Car?
olina, but for years a resident of Georgia,
and a member of the present Legislature,
was killed in an affray in Atlanta on
Tuesday, 11th inst., by Capt. E. S. Cox.
Alston fired three shots and Cox two.
Alston was shot in the right temple, the
ball passing through his brain. Cox was
shot in the mouth and through the left
hand. Alston is dead, but Cox is not
seriously hurt. The difficulty arose from
Alston's having a power of attorney from
Senator Gordon to sell the latter's inter?
est in the State convict lease Cox is a
sub-lessee under Gordon, and wanted
Alston to sell Gordon's interest to Wal?
ters, who had promised to buy Cox out.
Alston sold to another person. Cox
threatened Alston at noon that he would
kill bim before sundown if the trade was
not cancelled and made with his man.
He hunted Alston down.* Gov. Colquitt
and others having detained Alston at the
capitol, the quarrel was renewed, and
both drew their pistols with the result
above stated._

Suffering for a Life Time.
Persons afflicted with rheumatism often
suffer for a life time, theii tortures being al?
most without n mission. The joints and
muscles of such unfortunates are in most
cases shockingly contorted and drawn out
of shnpe. To afford them even temporary
relief, tho ordinary remedies often prove
utterly useless. Hostetter's Stomach Bit?
ters, on the other hand, is avouched by per?
sons who have used it. to be a genuine
sou reo of relief. It keeps the blood cool by
promoting a regular habit of body, and re?
moves from it impurities which, in the
opinion of all rational pathologists, origi?
nate this agonizing complaint and its kin?
dred malady, the ;out. Besides this the
Bitters remedy disorders of the stomach,

appetite and sleep", and are highly recom?
mended by physicians as a desirable medi
