Leo, Chief Engineer of thc Savannah Railroad, will be submitted to the Board of Directors on Friday next, and if it proves as fa vorable as ls anticipated, it is expected that steps will be taken to begin tbs lo cation aud construction of the Road im mediately. It will take three years to completa the grading to Doro's Mine, if the money has to be paid down, bot con tracts maybe let out and the work done with payments to bo afterwards made, BO that tho grading will probably be com pleted 'within a much shorter time. This done, tho Road ought to be completed to Aiken, thus giving ns an independent line connecting with Charleston over the South Carolina Rail road, with Augusta over tho Greenwood & Augusta Railroad, tho South Carolina Railroad and thc Charlotte, Columbia & Augusta Railroad, and with points North 'over the Charlotte, Columbia & Augusta and the South Carolina Railroads. So faros the interests of tho town of An derson are concerned; this is decidedly a better terminus -thou Dom's Mino, and so far as Charleston is affected, it is the only lino which can carry the trade, of the Savannah Valley to our own seaport. Tho building of this road will do much to avert the probable Injury to the trade of Charleston from the completion Of the Greenwood & Augusta Bund, The Sa vannah Valley Railroad ia, therefore, a line of great importance to tho western side, of tho State, and if tho Bine Ridge ii ever built, of which wo have Dot de spaired, it will become a very profitable Uno of road. Wo hopo harrnony .will prevail in tho enterprise, and thot it will bs pushed to speedy completion. OEK. OAKFIELDS LETTER. It hus becomo a custom of the country for candidates nominated for tho Presi dency to present their formal acceptance of the nomination in a letter enuncia ting tlieir views upon the most important questions of tho day. lu obedience to th? casteth Oen. Garfield bat; published hl9 formal acceptance ot the Republican nomination, which de?iiea, to a certain extent, his position upon the current t?pica of thc day. To Bay that tho letter lu a weak ono would be to tuidereBlluiato ila probable value in tho comingcanvaw, for it is skilfully ponncd to carah the votes of every class of persons from whom tho Ropablieauo. can naturally espect to obtain votes in thia ww vasa; but not withstanding this, the letter ??an unhap py document for" the Republicana, lt contradict? thc record of lu? caudidate, and that, too. over bis own signature. Oen. Garfield ha? Toll the" popular pulse, and finds tho sentiment to bo overwhel ming oh the Pacifie coast that the "CM ncso murts go," and therefore Gen. Gar field, tho candidate, says they must go, although Gen. Garfield, tho member of Congress from Chlo, voted against tho ait limiting steamers on the Pacific coming from China to 'fifteen Chinese passengers, aud then voted to suatain the President's Veto after the bill bad passed. 'Thus hellas changed bia pcs'itldo upon thU question for tho purpose of obtain ing vote?,' ?hieb shows bl i*?. ,to be in stable, vftHc?llalinjrafid designing.

He will get beaten aa tbe case now stands. He would have been beaten bad be written any other lotter. COL. CASH GIVES MAUL. Associate Justice Mciver has granted Col. E. II. C. Cash bail in the sum of three thousand dollars for his appearance at tho Darlington Court to stand his trial on tbe charge of murder for the recent killing of Co). Shannon. The amount of bail required indicates that Tudgo Mciver dwi? not consider the case a serious ono, ond looks really aa if the judiciary of the State is disposed to look with leniency upon the crime of murder, if it is cloaked under the guise of duel ling. Of course a Judgo of thc Supreme Court in high authority, but it does seem to us that lin? ease against Col. Cash is not one in which bail in any sum is ad missable. Hf went upon tho field Arith tho delibcrati? purposo and (Waled design of killing ('il. Shannon, after having expressed thu most intense malice. Il there was any ingredient of murder lack ing in this oas??, we do not know what it waa. Tho midnight assassin does hi? work more c?.?vardly, but not moro Burely and effectively than Col. Cash did bis, and Judge Mciver would have taker high ground and done much towards in culcating a healthy moral sentiment bj refusing bail io this case. We have nt doubt tho Judge was here, as in the Irbj case, actuated by consideration!} of mere} and sympathy, but it is a public mUr - tune for bim to Imvo been so. The ti.a of this case is to settle a most importan principle, and, therefore, the duties o the judiciary lu passing upon it rise fa higher than even tho application of th law to a particular case, for generally i is a matter of comparatively little conse quenco as to the conviction or acquitte of a criminal. In this case, bowovei the result is to decide whether murdo can be legalized by tho rules of the sc called "Codo of Honor." If Col. Cas is acquitted it can bo. If be is convicto il cannot. It is, therefore, exceedingl important for tho law to be fairly an impartially administered without fuvoi fear or affection. TUE CENSUS ACT. One of the most important provbioi of the Census Act is the following : "That Section 9 of the Act aforesa be, and tho same ls hereby so amend? aa to require each enumerator, im med ately after completing the enumeratit of tho population of his district, and b fore forwarding the same to tho Supe visor, to make and file in the office of t! Clerk of the County Court or in tho offi of the court or board administering tl affaira of the County to which bis distri be?ongs a list of the names, with agi sex and color, of all porsonB enumerat by bim, which he shall certify to bo tri and for which he shall be paid at t rato of ten cents for each one hundr names." This is a very important provision, ai we are gratified to know that it has be complied with In this County. Tl census report for tho County will bc valuable record for reference in futu years, and, if recorded hereafter eve ten years, will afford a consid?rai amount of interesting personal history the County.

Id our note? upon the prow excursion wo had arrived in tho city of Cincinnati, where wo found everything la tho way cf habitations densely packed by tho vast number of visitors who had flocked to that city to be present at the D?mo cratie National Convention. Tho hotels and restaurants and private houses wero alike over Ulled, sud men who wero un fortunate enough to have arrived with out securing accommodations in ad vaneo were In no enviable condition. Some times ooo could bear such poisons bo nocchlng hotel keepers to make room for thom, in several instances offoring us high as iwojty-flvo dollars por day for board without ?ocurlng it. This ?tato of thingM had a tendency to satlnfy tho mom born of our party with u location that bad beni ongagod for ns lu nd vant a in privato houses, which at other times would not have been acceptable, for there were in Homo or the rooms from ni^ht to tuleen persons, assigned according to th* alzo of tho rooms. On tho night of our arrival an entertainment was given to tho South Carr'.'na delegation in tho Con vention by Mr. Means and other gentle men of Ohio at the Highland House, which waa splendidly lighttKl up, and whe o a most elogaut and extensive ban quet bad been proparo. I. Speeches wero niado by Speaker Randall, Qov. Hamp ton and nuniorous other gentlemen, In cluding scvoral of the South Carolina delegates. At the conclusion of the speaking thoro was a very brilliant dis play of flro-works in all colors, and a discharge of roman candles in red, blue, green and other bright colors, so ar ranged as to form tho lcttors aud word* "South Carolina and Ohio." The occa sion ls doscribod by thoso present os ont of great pleasure and inagnlllconco. Th? day after our arrival wo began tho work of HKEINQ CINCINNATI, which is an extensive but dingy, Binokj and dirty city, somo eight or ten mile long and two to fivo ml ie.? wide, aituatet in a llttlo basin on tho right bank of thi Ohio River, and surrounded by higl billi*, particularly HO on the Northen and Western side?.

The wator from Rocky o Savannah River would have been dc llghtful as compared to lt, and yet th cltizcnn of tho great city of Chichina get no othor water supply. Thoy coax down with quantities of leo whou tho drink, but lager beer ls the natural bei orage of Cincinnati, and wo have n doubt that hundred-! of porsons may t found who rarely, If evor, take a drin of water, and although wo do not beliei in tho use of any spirituous or ma liquors, yot after soeing tho water the. peoplo would hovo to drink, wo ennui help entertaining a vory charitable foo lag for tho tondonoy to drink lager hoi la Cincinnati.

No Further I'ruceedluga for Xvreuty Vnya Mutual Becrlrolnatlona. COLUMBIA, July 15. The expectation was that the first instalment of the purchase money for the sale of tho Greenville and Columbia Railroad, due and payable here under the terms of sale to-day, would bo made iu accordance with those terms, but dur ing tho forenoon u telegram was received by Master N. B. Barnwell informing him that Judge Hudson had granted an order postponing all proceedings in the caso for twenty days. A petition has boen filed hy the attorneys of W. P. Clide, T. M. Logan and Joseph Bryan, in which they allege that as a committee represent ing holders of a large majority ofsecoud mortgage bonds of the Greenville & Col umbia Railroad, they attended the sale in April last and bid on said property to the amount of $3,393.G0O, at which price they C'A.ni tho road waa knocked down to them, and that they tendered the $20, 000 required by tho terms of the salo to bo paid in cash. The second allega tion is that a protest TOS entered against the bidding being rescued after it was thought to have been closed. The third allegation is that during the progress of the bidding several messagea were re ceived from the party bidding against them proposing that ho would cease bidding for a money consideration, which proposition they refusod to con sider. Tho fourth allegation is that a uumber of holders of second mortgage bonds refused, after invitation, to unite with the petitioners for the protection of their interest*, conspiring together to run up the price t/ ho property m order thal they might Becuro larger dividends on thoir bonds, without tho intention or ability to comply with tbo terms of the sale or to purchase the roath To accom plish enid purpose parties notoriously insolvent were employed to appear as bidders at tbo sale. The fifth allegation states that parties who believed them selves interested in having the road bring a higher price induced an irre sponsible party ' ~ be present at tho sale as a bidder. They claim t' a no bone fide bid ex ceeding $2,393 OJ was made, and that, after their nam u had been entered astbe purchasers ana ?20,000 paid to the Alastor, the Master had no authority to annul tho purchase and ivopcn tho bidding. These statements aro substantiated by an affidavit of W. P. Clydo. On the other hand, parties vho aro opposed to the representations made in this statement, say that the whole affair is apian concocted in Wall street, Now York, as a speculation, and that it was known two weeks ago that the purchas ers could not comply with the terms of 1 tho sale. Parties interested on either I side have equally strong opinions as to the purpose of tho other ; but as a matter of course what is proposed to be done will not be disclosed previous to a judi cial investigation. It is alleged by severol geatlemen who ; are In a position to understand the de signs of the purchasers that the money is not lacking ; that the whole amount is now in bank ready to bo used for the first instalment, but it is deemed best to await tho decision of the court in reference to the point raised as to the legal bid at which tho road was first knocked down to Mr. Courtenay. This extension of time, it is said, was granted in order io allow the buyers an opportunity of hav ing the points settled by the Court. In the event of a decision being rendered advorso to thc positioa assumed by the jurchascrs they will not appeal, and thereby prolong litigation and cause un necc-viry delays, but will nt once com ply u ?lb their contract by paying down tho stipulated sum of money. TBE CASE OF COL. CASH. A Disgraceful Sceno In Cheraw-No Ar resta, and tbe OOendern Return to their Hom?, Charleston Sunday Xeics. CHERAW, 8. C., Saturday, Juiy 16. Col. E. B.C. Cash and his sou, W. B. Cash, accompanied by Col. Watts, of Laurens, came into town yesterday for thc purpose of obtaining thc release of Col. Cash on a writ of habeas corpus, aod also with -tho avowed intention of attacking Mr. Pegues, the publisher of the locaipaper, The Carolina- Sun, which India comments on the recent duel, has expressed tho general sentiment:- of the State. A threat of horse-whipping bad been previously made by young Cash, who came to Cheraw some nights since to carry it out, but was persuaded by friends to rcliuqui- h his purpose. After a few dayn spent in a state of Biege, the threatened journalist was assured by people of standing that tho trouble was entirely over and was thus thrown off his ?guard. Col. Cash and his son lounged about Front street ali day, awaiting the arrival of Solicitor Sellers. Mr. Pegues, when going quietly home to dinner, passed tho group sitting at a street corner aud eating watermelons. As bo turned the corner, his back being to them, young Cash drew his pistol, calling out : "Stop you d-d scoundrel," with other words to tho same effect. The father threw off his coat and drawing his pistol vowed that he "would nco a fair S^ht." Some Sentlcmcn forming part ot tho group astily intervened aod put Mr. Fugues out of reach, thrusting him into open doorway aim l?v&i?g m di Up, tun? was cursing and threats of violence out sido for a while, whicb finally ended in nn adjournment to the nearest barroom in company with the sheriff. There was great excitement. The Intendant was cut of town, but a member of council was called upon to arrest the pair, which ho declined to do, but said it should be done in the event of another d?monstra tion. In the meantime and until dark, having been warned that another attack wea threatened, Mr. Pegues, who had made bia way to his office, was forced to remained there on guard, while free and untrammelled his assailants paraded tho streets in the face of a community that nominally condomea their wholo action. Mr. Solicitor Sellers arrived on tho e~-.dng train ; a hearing was bad before J Migo Mciver,-and Col. Cash was admit ted to bail in the sum of three thousand lollara. Tho Solicitor at first demanded dist the bail be fixed at twenty thousand dollars; then at tea thousand dollars; but the counsel for th? accused succeeded in getting it reduced to three thousand dollars, ?o proceedings whatever wera taken against young Cash for his cow ardly attack upen Mr. Pegues, and he and bia father returned to Cash's depot, openly continuing their threats against tho proprietor of the Sun. Col. Cash wlil be tried for murder at tho September. term in Darlington County. The itfact and Courier containing Gen. Butler's manly icttor bad been received before tho party left t?. **- and Col. E. R. 0. Cash indulged in ?orne or bis choicest explotivea respecting it, vowing that he wouid {rtvo the Senator "a wooden heart to matcu hts wooden leg." bat without cbarly indicating how thia remarkable present was to be made. ABTIlUIl ACCEPTS. Ile Write? o Letter As H Vt ryKiuull Tull tor the ItepubUcan KUc. NEW YOBK, July 10. Geo, Arthur, Republican candidate for tbe Vice-Frc*idencyt has written a letter to Hon. Geo. F. Hoar, accepting tbo nomination. In it be say* the au thority of tbe National Government to preservo from fraudulent elections, at which its own officers aro chosen, is the chief point on which the two parties arc plainly and intensely opposed. Ad of Congress for ten years bave/ in New York and elsewhere, done tnucn to curb the violence and wrong to which the ballot and count have been again hud again subjected, sometimes despoiling great cities, sometimes stifling tho voice of a whole State after seating not only in Con gress, but ou tho bench and in the .Leg islature, numbers of men never chosen by the people. The Democratic party, since gaining possession of tho two Houses of Congress, has made these just luwa thc object of a bitter, ceaseless as sault, and, despite all resistance, has hedged them with restrictions, cunningly contnved to baffle and paralyze them. The Republican party bas strongly ap proved of the stern refusal of tho repre sentatives to nullor an overthrow of the statutes believed to be salutary ind just. It bar: always insisted that tho Govern ment of the United States of America is empowered, and . in duty bound, to effectively protect elections denoted by the Constitution as national. It is a Buggestivo and startling fact that the increased power derived from the enfran chisement of the raco now denied its share in governing tho country is wielded? by those who lately sought io overthrow ihe government, and is now tho sole reliance to defeat the party which repro bated the sovereignty ana nationality of American peoplo in the greatest crisis of our history. Republicans cherish none of tho. resentments which may have animated them during the actual con flict with arms. They long for a full and real reconciliation between the sections which wero needlessly and lamentably at strife. They sincerely offer a band of good will, but they oak in return a pledge of good faith. They deeply feel that the party whose career is BO illus trious, in great and patriotic achieve- j menta, will not fulfill its destiny until j peace and prosperity are established in all the laud, nor until liberty, thought, i conscience, action and equality of oppor- 1 tunity shull be uot merely cold formait- ' ties of statutes, but living birth rights ' which tho humble may confidently claim , nnd the powerful dare not deny. He in cn- i doming tho civil service resolution and i resumption policy, refers to the que i? 1 tionB of education, tariff, internal im provements and improvement of water coi rees, and In conclusion, Bays: "There is danger ia entrusting the control of the . whole law-making power of the Govern ment to the pt ty which has, in almost avery Southern State, repudiated its obligations, quito as nacred os those to : which tho faith of tho nation now stands j pledged." ?
