Mr. Robert B. llayue, paymaster o?
tbt South Carolina Railroad Company,
committed suicide by shooting himself
on Saturday morning, in Charleston. It
is uupuoi-ed to have becu the result of
temporary aberration of the mind. Mr.
Hayue's accounts were all found correct.
Ile was highly esteemed, and his Heath
is greatly regretted b., very many friend
and admirers.
Col. Irvine Talton Jones, a prominent
lawyer of (?reen ville, died nt While Oak,
N. C., OB Sunday from heart disease.
Thc deceased was born iti Laurens
in 1814. He was admitted to the bar in
1837, and attained prominence in bis
profession. He permanently settled in
Greenville in 1843, and became very
strong in the upper portion of the State,
representing Greenville several term* in
the General Assembly, and serving an
Treasurer for the upper portion of the
State when our laws provided for two
Tretisurcrs. Col. Jones served in the
war with distinction, and was very pop
ular with his men. He was a relined,
polished gentleman, and withal au up
right, able and patriotic citizen.
Ex-Chancellor James Parsons Carroll,
of Columbia, died at Cicsnr's Head on
last Friday, from the result of a sting
from a spider, which wssswinging from a
limb, and stung him in tho face while he
was strolling about tho mountain a few
days before his death. The injury at
first waa slight, but became inflamed to
erysipelas, with the fatal result stated.
Chancellor Carroll was u native of
Edgefield, and was about seventy years
of age. He was elected Chancellor
under our old judicial system, and re
tained the office until he was deposed by
reconstruction, since which time be ba??
been practicing law in Columbia.
Chancellor Carroll was a pure, upright
and able Judge, and a courteous, nflablo
and highly cultured gcutleman. His
memory will long be cherished in our
State for his many noble traits and man
ly virtues.
The Railroad Commission has at last
made their report fixing the rates to ho
charged for passenger aud freight traffic
over tho railroads in this Stato. They
have u.ndified their original rates very
materii .Hy, the alterations being uniform
ly in '.ivor of tbe railroads. This was,
of course, to be expected, as the roodifi
cations were mado upou matters argued
before them by the several railroads in
tbe State. Tbe Commission bas reduced
passenger fares on tho South Carolina,
the Air Line, the W. C. & A., tho C. C.
& A. and thc Central railroads to three
cents, on tho Augusta & Knoxville, the
Spartanburg & Asheville and the narrow
guage roads, the charge will be four
cents; on all other roads it will be 3J
cents. This is only u reduction of about
half a cent in fares. We do not know
bow tbe freights will work-somu of our
people think we hav? not been bettered.
At another time we shall probably have
something to say about tho freight tariff.
POES A TARIFF CHEAPEN GOODS?
The Augustu Chronicle and Comtilu
tional?l bas become tho leading South
ern udvocate of protection, and puta its
side of the question before the people in
tho most plausible and ablo manner pos
sible. Ita positions, however, are not,
in our opinion, tenable upon close exam
ination. For instance, our contempora
ry editorially endorses the opinion of the
Chattanooga Times that the Milledge
ville Recorder seems to be of tho opinion
the United States would get steel rails
cheaper than present rates, if England
and Germany had ft monopoly of tue
supply, and adds: "The Recorder also
asserts that England sold Bessemer bars
in 18G8 nt $61.32, while our mills charged
$105. The Recorder insists, that, at all
timeB, the American makers of protected
goods pocket the full Bum of tho duty as
part of their profits; but how does he
make out that, in 1868, when this coun
try made but 7,255 net tons of steel rails,
the makers managed to get $43.68 above
the English price, or $15.68 more than
the duty?' We are afraid that our es
teemed Recorder is a little 'off' on sta
tistics." The Chronicle must know that
the extortionate price obtained in 1868
by the American manufacturers was the
result of tbe tariff, for it imposed such
restrictions upon the importation of steel
rails that foreign manufacturera sought
other marketa in which to sell their
goods, and therefore their competitive
iuGucucu in tho United States was lessen
ed ; but as soon as it was seen that the
American manufacturera were getting n
profit on the duty imposed, foreign com
petition came into play, and tho next
year the profits to the American mills
?rere reduced. The condition of th i uga
in 1863 was abnormal, am : it was largely
produced by the existence of tho tariff,
which caused foreign mills to seek other
marketa, in which to sell their rails, than
the United States. A practical illustra
tion of the workings of the tariff may be
gathered from the fact ?tated by a
wholesale dealer In matches in New
York, that the abolition of the Internal
Revenue tax on that article "baa encour
aged the American agenta of the
Sweedish factories to import Sweedish
matches in Urge quantities. Every
steamship from a Sweedish port, ?ince
July 0, has brought matches. The
Thingvala last week brought 35,000
gross, and the Heimdall, which ia expect
ed thia week, will have : larger consign
ment. Tbs dutj ia 85 per cent., and the
matchcB aro aold here for about three
quarter? Of tbe price of our own home
mads matches."
Thus it will be seen that tbs foreign
match comes here and ?ella at 25 per
cent, leas than our manufacture, despite
the tariff of 85 per cent. Thia ?bow? that
the American match companies bars
been getting sixty per cent, moro than
tbs price fe? which tbs S weediah manu
facturen would have ?Std their matches
but for tbs tariff and tbs Internal Bera*
ans. Io other words, the man who
bought one dollar's worth of match ta
fc?:U?.J0V \'-r .; -ri : ? ll < C>V??
w ould have purchased the same quantity
of matches for about fifty cents if there
Lad bern no tariff and no revenue duties.
These sums do uot ali go to thc Ameri
can manufacturer, for both had to pay
the Internal Revenue. The thirty-five
per cent, tariff tax, however, did go to
thc A menean manufacturer w herever I
his goods were sold, and still is main
tai ned for his benefit. The tax which
benefited the government most has been j
removed, and that which benefits the j
American manufacturer, at the expense i
of the people, bus been retained. The
removal of the Internal Revenue baa
reduced the ?irire of ? weed ??li matches
'I') per cent., and the abolition of the '.','.>
percent, tariff would reduce their price
that much more. There i< no doubt that
the people have to pay not only thu
tarill dillie-', bul an additional .-11111 1 qua|
lo the tanti per cent, on ali American
manufacturers. Thia -uni ?bu-s not go to
the government, in the turill* does, but
goes directly lo the persons cnguged in
manufacturing. It is a plain case of
taxing the many for ihej benefit of thc
few.
SIMPLY riTKKII.K.
The Newberry Observer replies lu our
article about the Senator-hip ic follows :
The attempt ortho Anderson l.vn:i.i.i
oENCKit to portray Senator Hampton us
a scheming seeker alter of lieu, and ii
advice lo I.lui to "ceno on: like a man"
und suy wliethor be wauls to lie bis own
successor, is supremely ridiculous. Ki -
erv one knows that Senator Hampton
bus never been un olllefl seeker, ami Illili
there bas never been a lillie In bis career
when be did ind "cunio nut like a min.."
Neither he nor bis most urtlotll admir?is
have over imagined thal lila placo could
not be lilied ny another; bul lhere are
a great many citizens ??l Knuth Carolina,
the groat majority no doubt, who would
rather se? it occupied by him than bv
any one else Thora urn ul hera who, a*
WO prOVlotlsly said, "bave ' itiiitis"
tor Congr?**}, or lor other placen, um)
who would liku to see a vacancy in the
ranks, so that by shifting around,
through so mo means or other, they
might lill up tho gap thus mada. Hui
thc great body of the people are liol eon
reniod about aspiring statcKiiicu. They
prefer a man who is tried ami true.
Now, we submit that the reply ?d' the
Observer is not only ridiculous, but it is
simply puerile. It is puerile to attempt
to answer un article opposing the idea
of the intellectual poverty of this State,
by saying that there are candidates for
other places that would like to see
Hampton misplaced, in order to gel
some ad van luge out ol' the changes. We 1
do not perceive any force in such an ar
(Miment, especially as no one opposes the
re-election of Senator Hampton. If ho
wishes lo continue in the Senate, there
is no doubt beean do so, but lhere ore
some people in the State, as may be seen
from the extracts from other paper;, on
this subject, who think the people are
entitled to some respect from the recipi
ents of public honors bestowed by them.
It is ridiculous to attempt lo dwarf the
character and the intelligence of this
State into such n narrow channel that
the people have to cull on any man to
make sacrifices to serve them. South
Carolina hus never been poor in patriotic,
iruo and able sons, ami she is not poor
in this regard to-day. Whenever it does
not suit any of her public servants to
remain in ofiice, they have the opporlu
tilly to retire, with the assurance that
their places will be tilled by equally able
and efficient servants. Governor Hamp*
ton is no exception lo the rule. Thu
people honor and love him, but whenever
he becomes tired of public lite, the peo
ple eau fill his place with u mau equal lo
bim iu ability, patriotism and iullueuce.
No disrespect to Senator Hampton is
meunt by this. It is only an asscrtiou of
tho respect the people have for them
selves. Tho Observer muy think this
ridiculous, but in expressing such an
opinion, our contemporary becomes
ridiculous itself.
A WHd Romanee.
OaDEx] UTAH, August 25.-Cousider
able excitement exists in ibis city over
ft report which appeared in the Wood
River Times Inst evening that a party of
cow boys had marted for Yellow Stone
Park to kidnap President Arthur. Sher
iff Farry baa detailed two trustworthy
deputies to look the maller up, with in
structions to summon a stroug posse and
arrest the kidnappers, if thc facts are as
stated.
The Times says that during the past
two weeks u number of strangers, all
well provided with good riding animals
and firearms and resembling a parly of
regulators or Texas cow boys, have been
camped on Willow Creek, aud consider
able curiosity bas been expressed as lo
tho intentions of the party. Some ac
counted for their outfit by describing
them as a party organized to go up imo
the Indian country op a prospecting trip,
while others believed them to bo a party
of Arizona rustlers. During neveral
days past some of tbe party have ridden
through tho town in a defiant manner
and mysteriously disappeared. From a
man who came in to-day it ia learned
that the party who induced him to joiu
and make certain pledges of secrecy
were organized to proceed to Yellow
Stono Park. They left last night, going
on the stage road, and the informant
escaped during tho night. Tbe object
of the expedition is to corral and cap
ture President Arthur and party and to
spirit them away into the mountain
fastnesses and caves, where they will be
fed but kept prisoners, while tho mem
bers of the party act as pickets to pre
vent them beiug surprised and captured
while negotiations for ransom are con
ducted. The captain or leader of tbe
party has an idea that a heavy ransom
will be offered by the personal friends of
the President, after the search for the
President's party shall have been given
up, and that half a million of dollars or
more can thns be extorted from the se
cret service fund and divided among the
Farty on the principle adopted by tho
tallan banditti. The escaped member
of the party says that there are sixty
five men in the outfit, some of whom
were guerillas in the late war, and that
five wild Shoshone and Bannock Indians
go along as guides, and scouts who are
armed with repeating rifles aud sea'ping
knives. The leader is a Texaa desperado,
00 whose bead a price has been set, and
with the exception of two Italians, the
others are cow-boys. A grand council
waa held night before last on the prairie,
when every mao swore by bia dagger in
the fire light to do his duty.

The Survivors of tho Secoud.
SENECA CITY, August 22.-The sur
vivors of ibo Second South Carolina
Rifle Regiment held heir first reunion
here to-day. From several causes com
bined there was not as full au attendance
us was desired. Col. R. E. Rowen, the
last commander of the regiment, isuued
the call for this meeting somclimo ago,
but it is supposed that a great many did
not know of thc meeting. At ll o'clock
the old soldiers, with a goodiy number of
their friends, formed procession in front
of the Coleman House and marched to
the Mineral Spring. Arrived there they
seated themselves on tho hill, which has
tho form of an amphitheatre around the
Rest house. Col. Lowen called the meet
ing to order and stated the object for
which they bad assembled, and tbeu
proceeded to recite a condensed history
of the regiment from its formation on
Sullivan's Island through its many cam
paigus and hard fought battles down lo
the surrender. Tbe record was one of
which any soldier might be proud. He
stated that there were 29o men surren
dered in this regiment, which he claimed
was CD largest number surrendered by
any one regiment in Lee's army. After
Col. Bowen, CapL Wardlaw, Major Don
dy, Lieut. W. A. Lee, Major D. L. Cox
and Lieut. Col. Thompson were called
for and addressed their old comrades in
appropriate remarks. Besides the oin
ce rs named above I noticed Dr. O. M.
Doyle, surgeon, and Dr. B. F. Brown,
assistant surgeon, and perhaps others
that I did not know. As far as could
be ascertained there were about eighty
of the survivors of this old regiment
present, ?ad probably a few more whose
names could not be obtained. The day
was quite hot until about, half-past 1
o'clock, wben a refreshing shower began
to fall. After the rain most of the vet
erans left for home, rejoicing that they
had come. A resolution waa adopted
appointing a committee of five, with
Col. Bowen as chairman, to endeavor to
perfect th? company rolls and appoint a
time and place for meeting next year.
Thia reunion was held upon the anntver

Tim I'onple Ono Tillich to Hampton
More to Their SulT-Itespect.
Senator Hampton's position is eli
ing a great variety of comment from
newspapers of the State, and some i
is decidedly uncomplimentary.
The Senator, as we understand if,
clares that he is not a candidate for
olection, but is willing to servo at s<
personal sacrifice if his set vices are
sired or required.
The facts are that his services are
indispensable, and that the Stato
several citizens who can Berve hei
well as be could. There ?9 a very t
eral and very proper feeling that t
Hampton is entitled to have any o!
he wants that the people can vote
into. If he wants the office of Sen
he can have it. If ho does not wan
there is no reason why anybody slit
insist on his laking it.
Senator Hampton ought tounderst
that he will not be conferring any
ditional obligation on the State by
resenting her in the Senate for ano
term, and that, to the contrary, bis t
lion will be in part payment of his
valuable services in the past. If he
Hists on tnking the position that ho
bo doing a favor by accepting a re i
lion, the people should stand on l
dignity and refuse to sauc'ion any 1
ideas. Wc are not paupers in inte

Wado Hampton is a splendid 1

not to be asked to accept them,

they owe still more to their own sel

At Koyaii, <-!i the (?iroude, there was on

in the' animals of ballooning. M. lira- j

make an ascent in H hot-air balloon ;

knot around the fir-' and second lingers
of < ?rallen'- right hand.
(?raticu was immediately whisked on
into tho air HOM mette-, high. In vain
he tried to html himself up <?n the cord
and loop it over his arm. Aller frantic
eti'orts he became exhausted and bung at
the end of the curd, suspended solely by
hu two lingers and ?iilli ring excruciat
ing agony. Owing to thc jerking ol
the balloon the e..rd flit tiki- a razor
through the llesh lo the hone. In that
siiiMiion Oratieii waa carried lo ihe dis
tance of nearly tour miles at the height
of (ino in?'rc- above the earth, Mil?.

situation, I':, i ott ?I away . nd -.mk hel?

As the air iii thc balloon became cool
the bal! m descended, hut bumped
against the earth in the midst ol ll den-e
mass ol thorny -blubbery. Gration was
not only ?tripped ?if hi* clothes, but hi*
skin was literally torn in strips from bis
body as be was dragged for near.y hall

Finally annie peasant* managed to cut

his condition is critical, be probably will

When the rope was cut ami the bal

safe and sound.
- The Columbia correspondent ol the
Xeict mri (.'wirier gives the following
item nf news relative to the Penitentiary :
"Application is expected to be made to
the Penitentiary board at in next meet
ing tor the lea-c of (rom 1?0 lo 100 hands,
10 be employed within thc prison walls
in the manufacture ol' harness. The
applicant is a citizen ol the State and
has been in communication with the
board on this subject for some time.
Thc hands employed within the prison
have worked so satisfactorily that there
will be no trouble in leasing to humane
contractors all thal can be spared fi om
other work hereafter. As instancing tl e
difference between the hardships of con
victs inside anti outside the Penitentiary
11 may be -tated that in Dibert's shoe
manufactory lim lask of each band is so
graded that he or she can complete the
day's work in from seven lo eight hours.
If they do their tasks in that time they
are free from labor for thc rest of the
day. Many work "extra" for tobacco,
but additional work is discouraged. The
contractor linds that llie hands work
mure emulously and with better results
under luis system. At certain of the
convict camps the hands are made to
work twelve and fourteen hours a day."
- There are six thousand applications
from colored people now before the Col
onization Society for transportation to
