Grant has returned to America. His tramp around tho world is over, and the question now is wbnt will he do next? ^_ The Supreme Court bas appointed Hon. R. W. Shand, of Union, Reporter lo the Supreme Court, for tho term of two years. Mr. Shand is an able lawyer, and will no doubt make an excellent Ro porler. Tho Chicago Inler-Ocean replies to tho remark of Hon. G. D. Tillman, of Edge field, that tho Democratic pa* ty will never havo a free swing for showing its willingness and ability to rr form this government until it secures a Democrat c President, by saying that a :rco swing is what Col. Tillman and his friends have deserved for murty years. This is, how ever, not to bo wondered at ns coming from the Inter-Ocean, for a man who really deserves hanging always points out sorao other person that bo would like to make a substitute for himself. During the pnst week sovcro financial reverses hnvo befallen prominent capi talists in Charleston. Tho bunking houso of James Adger & Co., has failed with liabilities reaching two million dol lars, and hy its failure bas involved the firm of J. E. Adger & Co., dealers in hardware, dec., to such an extent os to necessitate a Buspension of their bnsiuess, besides ono or two smaller business houses. Theso disasters have produced a shock to tho business of Charleston not equalled by anything there sinco the panic of 1873. Tho bouses involved in tb eso troubles aro all composed of oxcol lc-nt gentlemen, whoso reverses will bo everywhere regretted, not only on ac count of tho injury to business which will result from it, but also on account of tho losses which tho individual mem bers of tho several firms hnvo sustain ed. _' Tho Penitentiary Directors IK.VO been considering tho treatment of convicts on tho Greenwood and Augusta Railroad, in consequonco of tho startling faut tbat about ouo hundred out of two hundred and twonty-fivo have died during tho last yew. This ia an appalling death rate, nod demanda a rigid investigation at tho hands of tho authorities who have the matter in charge. Tho State cannot nflbrd to have tho imputation of cruelty to prisoners placed upon ber. When men commit crime wo boliove they ought to bo punished, and are not at all senti mental upon the subject as to tho man ner in which it should be inflicted. There is, however, a great difference bo tween punishing a criminal and treating ono cruelly. We have always Leen in favor of working convicts on railroads and other public improvements, but we cannot endorse tho employment of hu luau beings in any enterprise which en* | sures such a frightful death rate. It Is, however, duo to tho authorities of the Greenwood ?Sc Augusta Road that they Bhould bo heard before they aro con demned for the treatment of tbe convicts they hav8 been working. It may bo that there aro exaggerated reports in circula tion, or that the culpability rests else where than on their shoulders. Bc thia, however, as it may,' the subject demands a full and fair investigation, with a view of putting tho publie scandal to rest and of correcting the inhumanity that is charged, if it is found to exist, no matter whence it may emanate. The NoiV York World gives tho fol lowing advice to the South, which must, commend itself to the people of this sec tion as both sensible and expedient : Tho Northern Democracy nra tobo as sailed aa tho upholders and dofondera of an alleged cruol and coorclvo policy of tho Southern Democrats in respect to dealing with the negroes as citizens, as voters and aa laborers. In tho fuco of such -r. impending contest at the North lt will not do los tho South morely to protest that it has no policy to present, out must stand still to act as en umpire botwoon tho East and tho Wost, should {hoy disagree. ' Lot tho Southern States understand that they aro soli-governing States undor the Constitution and tbon lot tho "solid South" prove what its civ ilization at homo is to bo, end what doc trines about freo elections, finance, tax ; ation and publie economy its poople will uphold. Since tho Stalwarts will have it that "a solid South" dictates to the Noithom Democracy, lot tho "solid t- utb" accept tho situation cud put out Ita flag plainly and boldly, In order that tho indopondont voters of New York may BOO foe themselves wh-vt it la that the South seeks and. w>l* vindicate. Gononil Ch aimers, of Mississippi, in his out-spok?" dccla.~ut'o~? . l?as saan an Union soldior and lover of civil liberty aa deners! Hancock ia his first choice for tho Presldonoy, sets up a standard in our columns to-day which vre do not think will terrify tho business men and the right-mir.ded voters of tho North. In agreeing with this advice from tho IForW, wo hope the Sooth will prepare to go, into tho Convention solidly for Senator Boyard for President, and Gen eral Hancock for Vice President. Let ns have ? policy and ndvocate it solidly, provided that policy is a wiso and judi cious ono. Tho South ia a part of this Union,'and-ru Buch has aright toa policy of its i wn. It is tho conservative section of the government, and its policy is such as to commend itself to every sec tion of our common country, if it were only understood. It is our duty to our : selves and to our country to advocate our policy, that it may be understood and ap preciated by the whole Union, -- Aixtlaxeha : Memphis Is greatly nfll Jet ed, but it lo not Bick onto de3th.

Karie timi J. ?J. Dargan, of Blunter. A few days ago the announcement Waa in ?tlc that Cola. J. H. iSarlc and J. J. Dargan, of Sumter, had gone to Sand Bar Ferry, near Augusta, Oa., for the purpose of fighting a duel. The Chron icle and Cbns(Uutior,ali*l, of Augusta, under dato of 21st inst., gives tho follow ing account of the manner in which the meeting near'bat place was frustrated: In yrstonlny's Chrontete reference was tuaile to tho fact that two gentlemen of Bu ni ter, 8. C., lind left thal place for the purpose of coming to Georgia to fight a duel. One of thc parties, Mr. J. J. Dargan, wr t arrest ed In Sumter Wednesday hight, Joel UH he was preparing to lmv<i, und compelled to give bond to keep the peace towards the other principal, Mr. Jos. II. Barle, in tho State of South Carolina. Mr. Harle was also arrested by the sheriff of Suinter, but mnnnged to escape and c:. nie on to Augusta, with his second, Mr. W. I). Uboiding. These gentlemen reached the city Thursday night and proceeded to the Planters' Hotel, where Mr. Karlo registered as Jos. H ay no, Macon, and Mr. islanding us Wm. Do Sauseure, Savannah, Mr. Dargan, after giving bond, immedi ately left for Augusta by way of Florence, Charleston and branchville, in onier to avoid any further nrre-t. At Branchville bo met his second, f?en. Richardson, and the two came on to this city together iron? that point. As Btatr.l In yesterday's Chronicle, Chief Christian had received two telegrams frc -> tho Intendant of Blunter, requesting bim to arrest tho parties and giving a full description of each. When Ino South Car olina train rolled into the city yesterday morning, therefore, It wat boarded by Lieut. Prather, who"? '??ice idcnlllled Dargan and Richardson from tho description given to the police, and arrested them both, inform ing thom politely hut (Irmly that resistance would be useless. They yielded to the in evitable and were taken" In charge by the Officer. Soon afterwards Lieut, {'rather proceeded to the Planter's! Hotel to effect thc arrest ol Mr. Earle, the other principal. He soon found and Identified him, hut upon attempting to take him into custody the officer was warned to keep back. Lieut. 1'rather, thereupon, thought it best to pro euro a warrant before proceeding to est reine measures, und rode to thu City Hull for that purpose, leaving Mr. I). F. Johnson, of thc police force, to watch Mr. Barle. The latter, however, didn't wait for Lieut. Pra th er's return, but made his ?-snipe. Jump ing into a buggy standing in front of the hotel, he Jerked the reins from tho hands of thc colored driver, lashed the horse into a gallop and mude for the bridge, which he crossed nt u rapid pace. Policeman John son followed him on horseback, but could io nothing. Upon reach inn Carolina soil, Mr. Ea rle J umped from the buggy, und the Irl vcr returned to Augusta with tim vehicle. A warrant was Issued en the ?ither side by Trial Justice Oetsen for Mr. Karie's arrest, mt he could not be found. About half-nast ten o'clock Mr. Dargan vus carried bet?re J migo Eve, of the County -'our!, and required to givo bond in thu sum >f one thousand dollurs to keep thu peace. Tho bond was given and Mr. Dargan wits .cleoscd. No warrara were issued fur the irrest of tho Hccnnd.-. Mr. Dargan and General Richardson left n the afternoon on tho Charlotte, Coluiil jia and Augusta Iluilroud train, ostensibly for Columbia. Nothing wus heard in this :ity of Mr. Karie after ho crossed the bridge, ri.e impression in Augusto was that thu Ulah- had not ended, hut that the partie ntended to proceed to North Carolina for a io tile mooting. Mr. Dargan and Mr. Karlu aro both mein ie rs of tho South Carolina Legislature, und both nrc lawyers. Mr. Dargan and Mr. Richardson are pro prietors of tho Sumter Watchman. Dol. Dargan mut HU Recom? Arrested In Columbia. CoLUMiiiA, September 21.-Col. Dargan ind his second, Gen. Richardson, were ar rested here this morning, while endeavoring o make their way to North Carolina. Friends of all the parties bad tolegniphcd ho chief of police to arrest all hands and iavo them placed under bonds. A warrant waa issued by Trial Justico Marshall ut nldnight last night, and they were captured while trying to eludo the police this morn Mai. Karie and his second havo not been icard from sinco they left Georgia. Tho Origin or the Difficult j. Nothing has transpired ns to the causo if tho unfortunate difficulty, except the bllowing from tho Chronicle and Consti utionaliat : Tho difficulty is said to hove arisen from oniething that occurred in the Legislature. *k Chronicle representativo endeavored to ibtaln tbo particulars from Mr. Dargan, but ie. declined to givo them, and said he did tot caro to talk abc>;t the matter. Mr. largan was the challenging party. And tho following from Sumter to thc legitter : Si'MTr.n, 8. C.. September 20, 1870.-Great nterest is felt concerning the intended duel. Jeth parties to tho affair aro gentlemen of indoubted courage and with hosts of dentis. Tho latest news from Augusta tates that ono party was arrested and tho Iber escaped into this State. There is a trong feeling hero favoring a reconciliation, nd measures will bs taken to accomplish i>" when the parties return. Thcro is still v>..o.derablo uneasiness as to tho result, one f tho party having found a loop-hole in ho hastily drawn bond which he was put indcr at this placo. It is feared that tho neetlng may bo repeated in Georgia. Tho lifliculty orlglnato-l in a newspapor aiticlo lubllshed last winter, ut which ono of tho laities to tho present affair was offended, ut it was supposed at the time that the natter had been satisfactorily settled. It ros, howovcr, recently unfortunately ro Ivcd. Both gentlemen have families, with mom much sympathy is felt. Tho Latest New? from tho Tarty. COLUMBIA, Sapt. 22.-When Col.

I would much profor to como on soino civic occasion whoa all nro absolutely equal, all nllko iutorestcd in tho present and future glory of our common coun try. Thero woro vory few Union ?oldiors in North Carolin;? during tho war; though wo bollevo tho pcoplo woro generally op posed to socosslon und tho war, so that your meeting, if confined to surviving soldiers of North Carolinn, will bo in fact a Confederate reunion, whoro I would cortnlnly bo out of place. All soldiors in their social reunions glorify their deeds of heroism ; and tili? reunion will hardly bo an exception, and it would bo a Htrango sight for Oenornl Sherman lo ehiss- tho victories of hi?

Toro. Woro I present and you should suppress this natural fooling, 1 would reel myself an Intruder, marring tho na tural happiness of a festive v,ocasion. I know that tho soldier element woro tho finit to lay asido tho angry partisan reelings of tho war, and aro now loaders in tho now epoch which ls miro to add wealth and prosperity to our whole omit ry, and when some occasion arises when wo may all moot on common -round in North Carolina, to celebrate mino revolutionary ovent or to encour igo sumo monera euiorprisu, it wiii gi\ o mo great pleasure to come to Salisbury, lo Raleigh, to Guilford Court Housb, ir any other placo lu tho old North State.

WcHtorvUlo, in thin county, tho head quarters of Ottorboin University and tile hackbono of tho political prohibition party, btw just How a sensation which shoiihl I ii ca reo ra to some intemperate tem perance propio in the penitentiary. Pour years ago Henry Corbin, a saloon keeper, was ordered to -jaso selling liquor in Wcstervillo or abide by the con scQUencOM. Ho was arrested many times and fl nod for selling liquor, for profano swearing anti for all jiossihlo crimes, but be refused to glvo ">. and declared his intention of stai'lng hy his saloon as long as ho wanted to. Ono night a small building, in which his saloon was situa ted, was badly damaged by an explosion of a can of stun powder, which sumo one hail placed in tho bar-room. Tho affair created great excitement, and tho lending men of tho vlllngo-preachers, teachers and doctors-wore arrested, anti an at tempt was made to discover who placed tho |s?wder in Corbin's building, but all to no purpose Corbin then removed his family from Westorvlllo, but recently returned und opened tho Corbin Hotel nnd Saloon. Ills rc.urn awnkomvd nil tho hostility formerly manifested toward him, and, socially, ho was ostracized. Last night, ul a lulo hour, nu o.rplosion shook tho entire villngo, and pco'.'o rushed out to lind the ('orbin House io ? ..in-, and ninny neighboring houses moro or less dam aged. Although thcro Wau a number of people in tho note! ut tho time, no ono was injured oxoept Corbin, und ho is badly hurt, having lind his teeth kuockod out, a bolo mude in bia head and his ehest hurt by heavy timbers, which fell on him from un upper story. Mrs. Corbin, w ho waa uninjured, says thnt from tho nature of tho explosion shu is concilient that tho powder was placed directly under tho room occupied by Mr. Corbin, Iiis wife, bubo and two small children. Her first knowlcdgo of thc trouble was tho explosion, followed nt tinco by tho crash of falling timbors. Tho bet! nho occupied with lior husband und bubo wits blown from under them, and two children, occupying nnothor beti, woro thrown Into tho cellar, but they woro only slightly Injured. Hbo found her husband under fuflon timbers, and too much injured to riso. This morning a cotnjn?ttee appointed by tho mayor mado investigation, and decided that tho explosion was caused hy a Inigo quantity of gunpowder, wl?lch wus placed in tho cellar anti ignited by a fuse leading from the street. Last night two twenty-six pound kegs of gunpowder were stolen from a village store, und this wus doubtless used by tho dastards who dit! this deed. Citizens re port that just boforo tho o> plosion two mon woro soon nour tho hotel withn dark lantern, but no ono thought their pres ence sufficiently suspicious to warrant un interference with their movements. 0 Tho oitizons say thnt they regret tho explosion, becauso it will i ni uro tho tem por?neo causo; but, although Corbin nod his family havo boen rendered homeless und penniless by this outrage, no ono has COUIO forward to oller them shelter or comfort. Tho loss by tho oxploslon will bo about $0,000, somo half dozen build ings being more or loss injurod. AN INTERVIEW WITU HAYES. Ito Tulka About tho FollUcal Future (?rant, Sutlnteil with Hoiiom, nut Likely to be ti Presidential Aspirant. CINCINNATI, Sopterrbcr 13, 1870. A correspondent lind a Bhort talk with the President tc day on tho jioliticnl future, and first uskcu in regard to thc occupancy ortbe Prosidciitittl sent, and pnrtlculurly of Grant's prospects. "Gen. Grant will soon be back nguiu in this country. Do you think, Mr. President, he will bo a candidate for the Presidency for thu third torin?" "I don't think bo is seeking a renomina tion or desires it. Gen. Grant hus enjoyed tho highest honors tho country could be stow on one of her citizens, and I think he is not desirous of having them repented. Ho was undoubtedly tho ablest General the war prodticod. His management of the armies under Iiis control closed the war of tho rebellion. After that ho was made General of thc Army, and then twice elec ted to thc Presidential chnir. aince Iiis re tirement from tho Presidential office he lins travelled abroad extensively, and every where lie has received attentions of 'J 9 mutt gratifying kind, such, in fact, t. .io American citizen ever received in foreign countries before. All this must be extreme ly pleasing to Gen. Grant, nnd I doubt whether lie would bo willing to enter into another contest for office. I have no infor mation Irom him, but I beliuvo thut ho would much prefer to tako somo repose, keeping out of politics for the present." TILDEN'S CHANCES. "Do you think Tilden will bo tho Demo cratic nominee next year?" "Everything points thnt wny now. And yet Mr. Tilden lins ninny enemies in Iiis own party. I think lie would bo tho easiest man beaten thu Democrats could nominate. Tho attitude of Tammany towards bim in the New York Convention shows thnt he is not able to keep his party in linc. There is a suspicion of trickery banging about Til den nmong those who have been his follow ers. Look at Hewitt, who managed his campaign three years ago, and David Dud ley Field, who went to Congress for tho purpose of taking charge of bia claims '?ot h nro now opposed to bim. Thnt is the way it seems to go with him. His moat ] valuable allies In politics desert him." "Do you regard kl m as a mun of ability ?" "I do, undoubtedly. I think that there ure few men who aro his equals in organ izing and conducting a campaign." ? "Whom do you regard us the best man the Democrats could put forward ?" "I think Senutor George ll. I ndleton is their most available man and their ..trong cst. He has been before tho people us a na tional character a long time. His abilities nro of tho first order, and ho hus fuwer ene mies than any public mun in tho party. Thurman is n mun of grout ability, but ho lins enemies right hero nt his own home. On tho whole, 1 think Pendleton the best man the Democrats could i.om?nate." THU NATIONAL HANKS. "Do you think the national bank ques tion, which appears to bo one of thc Demo crat tu L?ucs in this State Jii3t now, will bo m.eic. a national issue in thc next cam paign ?" "rio. The question that will bo all-im portant in tho next campaign will bo na tional supremacy, not national banks. Tho national banking system is so much supe rior tc any State or privnto banking s.v. tem that tho country bns ever enjoyed that it will not bc ready to give it up, no matter how much itmny be attacked by politicians. If it were abolished Stato banks would spring up all over the country, becauso some banking system is necessary to the wants of the people, and overy systoni ex cept tliia bns always resulted In a wild-cut, irresponsible currency. With the national banks Issuing thc paper money there ia ab solute security to tho holders, and no dan ger at any timo of their notes becoming de preciated."

Last summer Mr. David offered to tbe nubile a few samplo bales nf printed' goods man ufactured at his mills that very much rosomblod calico, but wore very much firmer and moro durable The ro snlt oxooedod his most sanguino expec tations, and ho has received more ordors for this class of goods than hu could sup ply in his :h-.-ii fooblo stato of health, l iou ev cr, ho soon expects to put moro of these goods on tho market, and to en deavor to keep up with tho doninnd. - Whllo n party of employees of the Greenville and Columbia Railroad wore engaged repairing a woll belonging to tho company, atSllvfrstrcot, on Septem ber 10 tho wall caved In and buried al Ivo a colored man.

Gcnorai Grant will probably bo the guest of General McDowell at Black Point, a charming residonco at tho north end of tho town, after au excursion around tho bay to visit Port Point and Limo Point. Ho will also visit Senator Sharon, nt redmont, where a grand party will bo glvon. Ho will afterward, it is probable, bo tho guest of Mr. J. S.
