The latest D?mocratie presidential ticket suggested for ISSI, is McDonald, I of Indiana, for President, and Dorshiiiltr, j of New York, for Vice-President. This j is a combination which would make a j strong race. The Philadelphia Time? says that very few prominent Republicans are now sup porting President Arthur. This is very natural, liven mts will leave a sinking ship, and it is not at all strange that men, seeing the inevitable downfall of Guiteau's President, will look out for themselves, and seek alliances which are calculated to be of more value !.> them in the future. The McLane Greenback party are now organizing their forces for thc truest po litical battle of 1884, mid it behooves our people to bc on the lookout for them and their emissaries, in ordei that thc Democracy may keep informed as to their attempted treachery at every step. They are now hounding down good peo ple with the machinery of the I'nited States Court, in order to deter Democrats from performing their duties as election officers next year. Their hope is hy this means to render success in that election easy. It should bc the duly of every good citizen to contribute his part to wards defeating this conspiracy. McLane has been reported ns saying ! that the political trials lo occur ill Charleston this month, ure to result in making him Governor. This was con sidered BH nonsense when it WIIH first stated, but in the light which II?H letter to "Brother Russell" throws on the sub ject, it now looks iiko he meant that these trials aro a part of the conspiracy by which the Gieenbackers expect lo capture the State government next year. McLane, therefore, means that lie calcu lates, by securing the conviction of inno cent men this year, to enable hi? party to obtain thc government next year, and thereby become Governor. In this ho will find himself mistaken. Tho Augusta Chronicle <??d < 'onttitn tionafiat saya that perfectly satisfactory arrangements have been mnde hy the officials of tho Augusta & Knoxville railroad officials to protect its interests in the future Tho payment of past and present interest has been provided for, and the increasing business of the road gi vos assurance that it will hereafter be abundantly able to meet its liabilities. We may now regard its success as as sured. It will not bo many years before even its stock will command a premium. Its earnings are large and rapidly in creasing, and the present administration feel confident that it is now on a solid baiia, and that tho future of the rond will bo all that ?ls most ardent friends claimed for it. Its connecting links are to be rapidly pushed, and from this muree its business is to bo considerably augmented. This road is un import3ut factor in the railroad system of South Carolina. When its projected brauches are completed, its stock will doubtless be very valuable property. It will give to the leading towns in tho upper part of the State two or moro outlets for their commerce, and thus will stimulate the material development of thc State. THE STATE KOBMAE. INSTITUTE. The State Board of Education, which meets iu Columbia in May, will fix the place for holding the next Stute Normal Institute, and we trust that it will desig nate Anderson as the place. There was a partial promise of tho former Board, we believe, to send the Institute to An derson this year, and while wo know there wa? nothing binding in thai pios pective agreement, particularly upon the new I5o-.nl, atill we trust that they may deem it proper to send the Instituto here this Summer. In order to enable them to do so, however, the people of Ander son must furnish ample boarding accom modations for the teachers at very reas onable rates. Therefote, to enable our School Commissioner to make os strong an application for the meeting as possi ble, every family in Anderson is reques ted to notify Mr. R. W. Tood, the School Commissioner, as to bow many boarders they can take, and at what rate. Make the rate as low aB possible. The literary advantages from tho meetiug will be very great, and our people will be repaid for any trouble and inconvenience they may have in entertaining the teachers. It will also be a good advertisement for our growing city. By all means let us have the Institute, and in order to secure it, 1 it every ono furnish Mr. Todd tho de aired information without delay. THE SAVANNAH VALLEY R. B. The Sa? .noah Valley Railroad, which hos during the post five years had many ups and downs in ita prospects, received a decided impetus at Lowndesville on Tuesday. The public meeting called for fiat place was organized by calling Dr. A. G. Cook to preside, and requesting Mr. John E. Breozeale to act as Secre tary. Speeches were made by Messrs. W. S. Ligon, John E. Breazeale, B. F. Whitner, E. B. Murray, W. W. Hum phreys, Dr. A. J. Speer and Col. James H. Latiner, showing the condition of the enterprise and its necessities. At the conclusion of the speeches Co). Lati mer said that he would subscribe five hundred dollars, and with this start twenty-one hundred dollars in valid sob* acriptions were made on the spot by the meeting, which waa a small one, and a resolution was passed pledging those present to try to raise fivr thousand dol C7 ???O?d is tua township.

M AY K* VI I.I.K, March '27.--There is one act in the druma en tilled, "Thu Claren don Arrests." ihat it would be well fur the public to know. Thu negro, Hubert Mcfadden, ono of the parties arrested, was in beti and very sick when Ihe mar shal came for him on ihe 17th, tho day the parties were all arrested. At first be tried to beg oil' and at length refused to go, pleading sickness. The marshal, Wilson, told him he would carry him if he hud to tie him and make him trot be hind bis buggy, whereupon one of the arrested white men tillered the negro a scat in his buggy. When they arrived at Florence it was discovered that Hub ert Burgess and not Robert McFadden wita wanted, so thc poor negro ?as turned louse in Florence and when he told them that he was penniless and could not pny his way home, ho was calmly told iso I was informed) that he could walk-a distance of seventy-five miles. His white Democratic fellow prisoners fed him at tho hotel and paid his fare on the train. Vesterduy, the 27th, the negro died-a victim to Radi cal malignity and hate. The negroes hero aro indignant, and if there is any law to reach that marshal he wiii have a rough timo. Tho negro, Robert Burgess, who wus indicted ulong with tho whites, was tho Radical supervisor at the With erspoon precinct, and they nre eudeavor ing to m a kc him swear that fraud exist ed. When examined at Florence he said that tho election wns perfectly fair. The commissioner told him not to say that, as he was o.dy making it hard for himself, tho object being to make him swear falsely. Burgess told them that he would stick to the truth. The majority for thu Democratic Con gressman was only twelve at tho Wither spoon precinct nt the lu t election, and in 187b, I think, with Radical managers, the Democratic majority was about sixty. So much for fraud.- Artes and Courier. Fine Stock lu Seneca Valley. GREENVILLE, March 29.-On Wednes day I went to the "Valley View" stud farm of Mr. J. E. Lewis, of Oconee Couuty, to see his horses, lie drove me behind Red Chief, one of tho most pop ular and fashionably-bred stallions in the South, nu inbred llambletonian ou his siro's side, and on his dam's side crossing on the celebrated thoroughbred families of Americau Eclipse and Boston. He has taken the premium at the State fairs of South Carolina and Georgia. He has many promising colts. Bibi, a four-year old stallion, trotted a mile at the last State Fair in 2.o2, timod by Governor Hagood, under disadvantages, and after only four months' handling. Of his two-year colts, Edwin Thorne, bred at Mr. Lewis's place, will develop a great stride, aud Longfeldt, bred at the Rave nel place, in a superb young stallion. Mr. Lewis has just added to his stud live pedigreed mares, which ho bought in February at Col. T. E. Moore's sale in Kentucky. Black Maria, a near de scendant of Svsdyk's Hambletonian, sire of Dexter and of Alexander's Abdallah, aire of dam of Goldsmith Maid, waa awarded the premium for the saddle at two Kentucky State fairs. She is in foal to Herr's Mambrine Patchen. Emma is by Norman, sire of Lula, 2.15 and grand sire of Protrine, 2.18. She is in foal to Westwood. Miss Bedford foaled 1878, will show for herself anywhere. She is a granddaughter of Alexander's Abdal lah, sire of Goldsmith Maid, 2.14, and unites in her composition the tbreo choice lines, Mambrine Chief., Edwin Forrest and Hambletooian. Lucy Belle foaled 1881, baa in her the blood of Ed win Forrest and Mnmbrino, and will make a fine breeder. Miss Green, foaled 1880 by Green's Edwin Forrest, first dam Lady Frazier, is the highest priced mare in the stud. She has had some handling, shows fine action and substance, and is of elegant appearance. Mr. Lewis had to bid high to get her. She has been bred to Bismarck. Mr. Lewis has every reason to be p?OU? ?f bit flue stock,, ami be is just the man to make a complete success of his stud farm, for which also bis beauti ful place is most admirably adopted. On the afternoon I went over to the "Seneca" plantation, where I paased the night with Mr. H. E. Ravcnol, and next day was much interested In seeing some very fine work done by a "Fursh and Bradley" sulkey plough, with rolling coulter. This plough works with either two or three horses, and will cat corn italks and turn them under. Mr. Rave nel is conducting this year a number of ucperimenta with grasses outside of his Tgulnr crop. He nos a smalt plat plan ted with "Bermuda" from the Nattery at Charleston. ' Seneca" plantation is one ! of thc finest placea in tin- up country and j i-? in a very high ?tate of cultivation.

A Had Kallruad Wreck. (IM I SN ATI, March .'?'J. A land slide near .Manon, on the Cincinnati Southern Railroad this morning, threw the north hound passenger train from the track. The place of the accident is forty milt s from herc. The injured are ju.it urriving from the wreck. They say the train was j going lolly miles an hour on a shari) curve when the entire train lett the track j ami tolled down an embankment fifty I feel. Two nice pei a were completely wrecked and one car was burned. The passengers were extricated with great di llicu I ty. No person was killed out right. The total number of injured is lilly three, several of whom are very seriously hurt. The only names obtain ed tb UH far are those of Major McDonald, of Xenia, Ohio, seriously injured, and J. F. Spalding, of Port Clinton, ohio, slightly hurt. Thc' whole ttain did not leave the track. Thc cause of the accident wu? a broken rail. Engineer Micheal discov ered it and instantly applied thu brakes j and reversed his eugine. The engine and baggage car remained on the track, bul the smoking car wus partly thrown oil', anti the ladies' car entirely left thc rails and stood al almost right angles with the road, the lower end down lbj em bankment. This car was subsequently burned. Two sleeping cars rolled down the embankment and were badly wreck ed. Very few passengers escaped with out .-onie injury, though most of the injuries were nut serious. Among iou injured were J. C. Roberts, of Cherry Lane, N. C., hurt internally; Jas. Hil ton, of Sparta, N. C. ; I). i.\ Emory, of Athens, Ua , leg broken, and Mrs. E. Bellamy, of .Silicon, (la., slightly injured. BrewstciV-j New Blood-Hound. A dispatch from Washington relative lo the recent appointment conferred on ex-Congressman Dick ('rowley, of Lock port, New York, is important as an illus tration of how the Stalwart President takes care ol the men who stood by the "machine" in the Empire State. Mr. Crowley was a leading candidate for Senator at the time "Me Too" Platt waa elected, and had the support of Senator Coiikling and the "boys," but failed through the obstinacy of the "Half? Breed" and "Leatherland" wings of tho party. When Lord Roscoe resigned, Dick ('rowley stood faithful to his mas ter, and now the Administration seems determined to repay him for his fealty to the "Ex-Boss" of New York. Tho dispatch says : One of tho most successful of the Stal wart managers of New York, successful in getting fat fees ami revenue from the present Administration, is ex-Congress man Dick Crowley. He enjoys the rep utation of having much influence with the President and Cabinet. Such a reputation naturally makes him be io largo demand from claimnnts, contrac tors and others dusirous of securing favors from tho government. Employ ment of this sort is profitable, and Crowley and tho notorious Tom Mur phy, who ha? a similar reputation, ure understood to be prospering. Crowley is practically a part of the,Administration. Ile was recently appointed by "Brewster, Attorney General," to serve as a speen-1 Attorney General to conduct the South Carolina election prosecutions. It has cuino to pass that, next to the presidency, the ollice of Special Attorney O encrai is frequently the most lucrative office in lite government. For his services the President receives lesd than $137 a day, while Seocifi.1 Assistant Attorney Geo. Bliss has been receiving $100 a day. Tho great Brewster himself gets a per diem of only $22. It is more than probable that Crowley is now receiving not less than $100 a day tor actual and nominal service in the South Carolina because last year he was paid $7,500, besides his expenses, for less than fifty days services as counsel in two federal cases in New York. Ho was thus em ployed and paid at a time when he was receiving his salary at thc rate of $5.000 a year as a member of Congress. This was a direct, palpable violation of sec tion 1,705 of the Revised Statutes. Treason, Strategems and Spoils, J. Hendrix McLane's letter to "Broth er "Rassoll," of Anderson Count), throws a fioud uf light OD ine political warfare now being waged against tho Democrats in this State. Some of the i defeated Greenback candidates foi office are at the bottom of the whole business. The arrests in the different counties have bceu made at the instigation of the "Military Governor" and his clique. The "evidence" has been procured by them, the warrants of arrest have been issued upon "information" furnished by them, aud they seem really to imagine that the ultimate result of the trials will be to somehow foist their gang upon the ?copie a? the rulers of South Carolina, t is only just to say that the Republi cans in South Carolina, as a rule, aro taking no part in the present crusade against the honest people of the State. They despise McLane ; t'uey have always regarded his political antics with ridicule und aversion; they refused to support him at the last election, and they hate bis malignant counsellor, the double-dyed traitor, Willard, with a hatred as bitter as it is natural. They are wholly indifferent to Brewster's absurd proceeding against tho Democrats of the State. It is the Greenback State Executive Committee that is directing the raids. It will be noticed that the arresta were made only in tho <c counties where the hybrid movement war alleged to have had some strength. Ia it not a shameful spectacle that the strength and power ana dignity of a groat Govern ment should thus be prostituted to serve the ends of a half doten political free booters ?-New? and Courier. Ochiltree wilt Get his Pay. WASHINGTON, March SO.-Comptrol ler Lawrence of the treasury has decided that the language of the Constitution providing that Senators and Representa tives in Congress shall receive compensa tion for their services is imperative, therefore that the sslary of Representa tive Ochiltree, of Texas, cannot legally be withheld because of his indebteducw io the Government. With regard to the two territorial delegates whose accounts as United States disbursing officers have not yet been settled, Judge Lawrence bolds that they stand upon a different footing. Their offices are not created by the Constitution but by statute, there fore their pay can be held as a set off. This opinion wss transmitted to tho act ing secretary of the treasury, who decid ed to abide ny it. Hence Ochiltree will get bis pay the same as other members - An observer says : Watch the Crown Prince of Germany at a review of troops. Yea will seo he is not there to show himself off in uniform. He watches the step of o very regiment as it passes. He knows every colonel. He knows the evolutions favored by different generals so well that he could tell with his eyes closed, by the mere noise of columns marching and wheeling, what officer is in command.

I'n/iu the Orangcburn Mntwrol. The practical working of the system ot luring out Convicts tu contractors ali over the State proves that the plan in inadvisable, ano ought to be discontin ued. If thon- is a will, thc way is often absent, in exposed places, for taking care of the laborers in charge. Suirpring may often result from the impossibility of * keeping the hirelings properly guarded and at the same time muring their comfort. I nder the circumstances, it seems better lo keep the convicts around Columbia, where they con bc under the supervision of the officers of the Penitentiary. Here it is proper to mnke them work hard and support them selves by every industry that can be devised, f ir it is contrary lo every princi ple o? juulice for the honest people of the land to support the rogues. /"'ruht tht ( uuvten ./ourtut/. There would not be sf? ni neb objection to hiring out these poor degraded crea turcs if tiie State was thereby benefited and they were properly treated and cared for; but, from the death-rate which usually occurs among those who arc hired out, there must be something glar ing and fearfully wrong. Although these people have committed crime, have violai td Ians and deserve the punish merit assigned to them, yet they an human beings, and the law does not pre scribe cruelty or ill-treatment for tbesi offences. It is never too ?atc to mend and we trust that the proper authoritie will see that these nbu?cs arc corrected Fruin tin Sew Orten ne Pieayune. Our people are not helped to be mor moral and law-abiding by being com pelted lo witness the degradation of cou vieta, and the convicts themselves ar brutalized and hardened, not elevate and improved. Indeed, no small proper tion of them are killed. The tru method is labor within walls. If on convicts ~ere required lo work withi tho prison walls," society would bc r Cerfcclly secured ns it can possibly I y a system of leasing. If they wei superintended by the State, and v.-or kc in shops, at any remunerative labt which could bc conducted within a pen tentiary, the leasing of such labor I contractors could not have the abhorret aspect of that system, which turns tl convict entirely over to the lessee at drives bim to tents or pens, to camps > farms, to be a chained slave, to be expo ed to everything and protected fro nothing, to die like a dog, or to live lil a dog. Not Prepared to Marry. BALTIMORE, MI?., March 30.-Sevei weeks ago, it will be remembered, M Lotta Galloway, aged 18, renounced t Christian leligion, embraced thc Hehn faith after a course of study, and to I up her residence at the home of Ital Lilicnthal, who adopted her as Iliadauji ter, calling her Rebecca, and she des '??ting him affectionately as papa, ami rumor prevailed to day that they were be married. The young lady to day dignantly denied that there was a truth in the rumor, but added in exp nation that tho rumor probably grew i of the fact that a few days ago thc ral prese ted her to H ey man Kenreich, a inforn.ad her that he (Lilienthal) p posed to give up housekeeping on accot of ill health, he being a widower, r that, as be did not like the idea of I going to a boarding house, he had seit ed a nusband for her.
