E. B. MURRAY, Editor. THURSDAY, MARCH 13, 1884. TERMS : ONE YEAR..?.81.50. SIX MONTHS. 75c. Two Dollars if not paid in advance. Ex Senator McDonald has tendered his resignation as chairman of the Indi? ana Democratic Executive Committee. Being a candidate for President he could not well continue to serve. If nominat? ed it would be improper, and if defeated his continuance would subject him to unpleasant criticism, if things did not turn out right. As both National Conventions meet in Chicago this year, Senator Edmunds has ventured to predict that the next Presi? dent will be nominated in that city, unless Ben Butler runs. He would have been safe in the prediction without the proviso. Ben Butler may again be elected Governor of Massachusetts, but he cannot be elected President. The friends of the Carolina, Cumber? land Gap & Chicago Railroad in this section were greatly enconraged recently by the report that arrangements had been made with the Louisville & Nashville Eailroad Company to complete the build? ing of their road. Unfortunately, how? ever, the rumor turns out to be incorrect, and the road will have to arrange other? wise for its building. This is a great enterprise, and if successful would be of incalculable benefit to onr State. Senator Hampton is reported as sajing that Senator Bayard, if nominated for President by the Democrats, could carry all of tbe doubtful States in the coming election. We believe he is right. Sen? ator Bayard is a splendid man, and we think would make tbe best nominee possible for the Democrats. It is not probable, however, that the Democratic 'politicians will nominate him. His nomination would be almost the equiva? lent of victory, but then it would be a victory on principle, and the administra? tion would be conducted in tbe interest of the whole country, and not as a ma? chine to reward his personal followers, It is hard to nominate such a man in these or any other times. The Augusta Clironiclc and Constitu? tionalist says that only about $15,000,000 has been asked of the present Congress by one hundred and fifty ambitious vil? lages for public buildings. In addition there is a bill before tbe House and Senate asking for the erection of post office buildings at every town which is now or which shall hereafter become an office appointed by the President. This bill will not pass at this lime, though a system of public buildings for the gov^ ernment offices in the largerJoy^a>^<Jf~ M^^SS^(v^^ g?v . ^^SSr^Trom heiog. in many instances, ^jJrtsSly^cueaTed in the price of rents. The trouble about public buildings has always been that they are erected not only for use, but also for show, and heDce cost immensely. It is proper for the government to have handsome buildings in the larger cities, but in towns the buildings should be erected in a durable manner, and sufficiently spacious for the needs of tbe government, but without the extravagant expenditure for show which is the present custom. The sentiment favoring the renomioa tion of the "old ticket" of Tilden and Headricks is on the increase just now, and probabilities point more strongly to it than to any other action by tbe Demo? cratic Convention. Next to the nomi? nation of Mr. Bayard we think this would be tbe best policy the party can pursue, and would give a reasonable as? surance of victory in the coming election. The old ticket would carry every South? ern State, with New Jersey, Connecticut, Delaware, Indiana and New York reason? ably safe, and would stand a good pros? pect of carrying Ohio, with Pennsylva? nia and Illinois close in a fight. This nomination would arouse a sense of jus? tice in the mind of the American people, and the enthusiasm which the determi? nation to right the wrongs of 1876 would create, would, we believe, be akin to the political tempest which swept the country in 1840. It would have the confidence of the business men of tbe United States, and would raise a larger campaign fund than any ticket the party can name. Owing to Mr. Tilden's age we do not be? lieve the administration would equal one over which Mr. Bayard would preside, but there is no doubt it would be wise, cautions, economical and efficient. Mr. Tilden's administration as Governor of New York guarantees that. The selec? tion of this ticket would unite all fac? tions of the Democratic party, and still the storm which the extreme tariff revis? ionists are trying to raise; and which will, in our judgment, sink tbe Demo? cratic party if it is not harmonized. Tbe tariff revision is an issue which ought to win, and which will eventually win, but it will not be until after the Republican party has been beaten upon other issues, or until political parties are reformed upon different lines. It has now been twenty-four years since tbe Democrats have had a President, and another defeat will in all probability disband the party, as the old whig party was disbanded', by constant defeats. No party can survive a quarter of a century of disaster, and we fear that a failure to elect the Presi? dent this year may seriously disintegrate the South. It is better policy, therefore, to leave out all matters which will seri? ously divide democrats, and make the coming canvass to win. After we get possession of the government we can discuss the important questions of gov? ernment, about which there are differ? ences, to better advantage. For these reasons we favor a canvass to carry the Eastern States, which gives promise of success, rather than a hopeless, though plucky, ficht for the West. ? A resident of the upper part of Bichland County who was in the city yesterday reported that the skeleton of a white man bad been found about eight miles from the city, and near by was also discovered the skeleton of a monkey. It is not known who the man was, but he is supposed to have been an organ grinder.?Columbia Register, The action of Governor Thompson in .ttempting to have W. B. Cash, the jffianly murderer, arrested and brought o justice is commended on all sides. There has never before in our recollection jeen an incident in times of peace that aas so gravely reflected upon the efficien? cy of our laws in South Carolina, us the silling of the town marshal of Cheraw by this desperado in the presence of ?orae seventy man, and his escape with? out an effort to detain him, and the sub? sequent apathy of the County officers in not trying to arrest the murderer. It was, therefore, the duty of the Governor to interfere, to the end that it might be established that criminals cannot go free in South Carolina because a County government is too cowardly or too apa? thetic to do its duty. If the reports about the Sheriff of Chesterfield, in con? nection with the failure to arrest W. B. Cash be true, he should be indicted for failure to discharge his duties in so grave an occurrence. The Cash family have influence, wealth and intelligence, which has given them a prominent position in their section of the State, but they are not entitled to violate the laws any more than the humblest citizen, and instead of being granted immunity, they should be more severely held to account for their atrocious conduct. They know better, and their association with gentlemen de? prives them of the slightest excuse or paliation for their brutality. It is high time that their blustering insolence and their reckless disregard for human life were stopped by the strong hand of the law just as such crimes in the poorest and most ignorant would be stopped, and Governor Thompson has done worthily in putting the power of the State to bear to suppress these defiant violators of the law. This action of the Governor has to day made W. B. Cash a fugitive and an outlaw, with a price set upon bis head, just as all other red handed murderers are in South Carolina, where they elude arrest. It has put him upon the crimi? nal level where he belongs, and which he has deserted the association of gentle? men to assume. It is not probable that he can long escape arrest, and then be will certainly be tried for the murder with which he is charged. The arrest of Col. E. B. C. Cash was also eminent? ly proper. There is every reason to be? lieve him at least an accessory after the fact of the murder, and his violence was a menace to the peace and order of the community. Indeed his threats to kill and bnrn, mark him as a public enemy. He is old enough to know better than pursue the course he has seen fit to take of late years. He has but recently killed a gentleman of high character in defiance of all law, but through the inexplicable mercy of a Darlington jury was given immunity. Since this time he has been more vindictive and violent than ever, his highest ambition seeming?toJj&-*"' appear before thejvr>i^^,^'tf^Pera^0, I In inj?! i i TTi Hi ii i Ui Carolinare , ^0ireSiaat these things should be stopped, and it is to the credit of our Governor that he baa the pluck to perform his duty and use the power of the Slate to stop it. The Courts will doubtless prop? erly finish the good work which the Governor has begun. A Walk over for Smalls. Sumter, March 10.?The Congression? al Convention convened promptly at 12 M. to-day. A temporary organization was formed by the election of S. J. Bampfield as chairman and George E. Herriott as secretary. The following committee on credentials was appointed: R. K. Washington of Berkely chairmau, Louis Jacobs of Williamsburg, .lames Wigg of Beaufort, F. S. Richardson of Charleston, John P. Boyce of Beaufort at large. Smalls entered tbe Convention with the Berkeley delegation of tea, the Charleston delegation of one, the Beau? fort delegation of six and possibly tbe Williamsburg delegation of three pledged to him. The delegations from the other counties, viz: Colleton, Georgetown, Orangeburg, Richland and Sumter, were all contested. Gen. Robert Smalls was put in nomination by James Wigg, of Beaufort, in an appropriate and telling speech. This nomination was seconded by R. H. Washington, W. H. Thompson and R. K. Richardson. Swails was put in nomination by Louis Jacobs and sec? onded by H. H. Mouzon. On the first ballot Smalls received thirty-five votes, Swails three, Strakef one. Small's nom? ination was then made unanimous. An Outlaw's Rnse. Mobgajnton, N. 0., March 6.?Lucky Joe Wilson, the chief of a baud of horse thieves and outlaws, escaped from the jail of Watauga County to day by a sharp ruse. Wilson was sentenced to the State prison for ten years for his outlawry. He took an appeal and was a waiting a decis? ion of the Supreme Court in his case. For some weeks past he has pretended to be quite ill. Last night he feigned dead, was laid out by the prison officials and prepared for burial. The coffin was or? dered and all other preparations made for the interment of the dead outlaw. The body was placed in an outbuilding, where it was viewed by many of the pris? oners aud officers of the jail. The eyes were wide open and seemingly glazed in death. Blood had spurted from the mouth and ran down on the bed covering. A minister was sent for to preach the fu? neral of the notorious robber. The body was left alone until the time arrived for burial. When everything became quiet about the prison Wilson suddenly resus-, citated himself, sprang up and dashed/ out of the room and made bis escape/ Before any one was aware of what had occurred be dashed down the mountain and fled towards Tennessee. The discov? ery of the ruse played upon theny by Wilson so paralyzed the officers ihat they permitted the prisoner to eef two hours the start of them before thfy fol? lowed him. It is hardly probabfe that be will be captured.?Dispatch' to the News and Courier. ? The greatest known depth of the Atlantic Ocean is five miles. ?

Cheraw, March 7.?Henry Berry Lowery iu the palmy days of his out? lawry scarcely attained more notoriety than the persons who rejoice in the name of Cash have managed to secure for themselves within the past fortnight. The traveller who journeys by rail over any portion of Eastern South Carolina and the Southern portion of North Caro? lina hears little else on the way of talk and gossip except anent Cash, father and son. As the train leaves Florence, the thriving town at the junction of the several roads which connect there and strikes out in the direction of the fertile fields of the Pee-Dee section, the talk becomes intensified, and pretty soon the entire company in the coach is engaged in it. Tbe conversation is invariably carried on in a subdued tone of voice, and very much in the style iu which a nurse relates a ghost or goblin story to her appalled and frightened child. If an unusually large stranger enters the coach at any of the stations along the line the talk is hushed altogether and there is a general feeling of uneasiness until it leaks out that the stranger is not a Cash. Those who live within the reach of the nimble pistol and deadly rifle of Cash Castle are fond of relating anecdotes illustrative of the desperate deeds of the Cashes. Most of them pre? face their stories and incidents with the remark: "I'm a friend of Col. Cash, although I don't uphold him and Bogan in this thing," referring of course to Mr. Bogan Cash's latest bloody exploit at Cheraw and his subsequent defiance of arrest. At Cash's Depot, the abiding place of Col. Cash and his son, there is a general throwing up of windows and a craning of necks with anxious inquiries from the straugcrs on the train: "Is that where they live ?" "Is either of them thprp?" "Where's the depot ?" &c. THE CASH CASTLE. Cash's Depot viewed from the railroad is a dreary enough place. A low, half decayed platform constitutes the "Depot." About a hundred yards to the South of this is an old rickety one-story building in an oak thicket near the railroad track. This is the store known as "Larkins." The Cash mansion stands on a knoll about 500 yards to the right of the rail road track. It is a substantial two aud I a half story frame residence with a double piazza, and surrounded by a grove of majestic pines. Few outbuildings arc near it, and the usual enclosure of park partially hides the noble proportions of the mansion. The place has a peculiarly dreary look. It is a fine residence set down in the midst of a barren pine for? est. This is where Col. E. B. C. Cash is residing at present. It used to be bis own property, I am told, but now be? longs to Dr. Larkins, of Lancaster, to whom Col. Cash has sold it, together with the demesne, which consists of nearly 5,000 acres of the richest cotton land of this rich and fertile section. The price paid for it is said to have been I SfiO.000. '"'Does W. B. Cash live there 7" The inquiry came- from the correspondent of The. News and Courier, and was directed to a gentleman who was "a friend of Col. Cash" and with whom he had formed a speaking acquaintance on the journey, . -antf-whose name for obvious reasons it might perhaps be injudicious to publish. "No, he doesn't," replied the friend of the Cashes. "He lives below there." And then my informant went on to tell what he knew about the movements and dyings of the Cashes. He said that since the shooting in Cberaw W. B. Cash had been staying at a bouse which be pointed out to me and which is about 800 or 900 yards South of the Cash man? sion, on the line of the railroad, and is in sight of the track. It is a plain log house, strongly and evidently recently built in a clearing, and enclosed with thj characteristic worm fence of pine rail/ Inside the enclosure are two stout ban' built close together, and in one of thg> he informed me, W. B. Cash takes Pm ugn when anyone approaches the dM THE OUTLAW'S ATTITUDE. / My informant said that he hacPon versed with both Col. Cash and J* son since tbe Cheraw affair. Col. C/h, he said, had told him that ueithenne "or his son Bogan would fire upon fa offi? cer of the law who attempted/* arrest him. The persons for whose f?d Col. Cash is reported to be tbirsti/ flre the posse who, it is alleged, vojn'eered to capture Bogan immedi?.tel7Rfter the murder. My informant ntS, nud his infoxmation is substantial/ by the re? ports of eye-witnesses, tha/Bogan Cash was badly beaten in the)ght with the town marshal BichardsAich preceded the shooting. He adde/hat Col. Cash had told him that he/du't intend to have his son lynched, /t that he would see to it that he ga/ himself up and stood his trial like a/an- He said, too, that while he won/ not submit to an arrest by a posse of/olunteers, he would not resist tbe attempt of any officer to arrest him. I ml as well state right here that in the/vent of Cash's arrest there is not the/ightest probability of his*being lynche/ Such is my impres? sion after convening with a number of the leading citjeos of Cheraw who have most cause to h outraged it the lawless? ness of the CaOes. My informant also told me that BogaBash has s following and that his hfing place is thoroughly picketed byicouts, who carefully watch the surroumiog country, and by others who live if Cheraw aid who promptly bring hinrtntelligence of anything that transpire/in the village.

Bogan was on a "bender," and I tell you when he gits on a "bender" be makes things howl" "The killing of Richards seems to me, from all I've heard of it," said an old gentleman, "to have been a cool, delib? erate murder." "I heard a man say that he did it in self defence," said another one of the crowd. To which answered etill another, "I don't doubt that you could get a dozen to say so. They are afraid of him." THE CONDITION OF COAVAItD. Tiie small boy here volunteered the in formation that Col. Cash had sent word I to Coward, the bystauder who was shot by W. 15. Cash,'that he would pay all his debts and the expenses of his sick? ness and $1 a day during the time of his sickness. Coward, it may be stated, in the opinion of his physicians, will never recover. He is said to be hopelessly and fatally wounded. In a conversation, which I subsequently had with a promi? nent citizen ho said "to me that it was not true that Cash had the whole place in a state of terror. Fifty men, he said, could be obtained to undertake the exe? cution of the warrant for Cash's arrest if the sheriff called upon them and au? thorized them to do it. But without the sheriff's order they could do nothing. Cash, he admitted, was nut a pleasant man to deal with. If any man attempt? ed to injure him in any way be would probably shout him in the back, and no man wanted to render himself liable to this kind of thing. Everybody seems to unite in the opin? ion that anybody can go peacably to Col. Cash's house and that the Colonel will receive them and entertain them in the old-fashioned style of the old-fashioned Southern gentleman, of wbon' Col. Cash is supposed to be a represen: ive. But I have not heard of anyboiiy who has ventured to go to look lor W. B. Cash, although it seems to be pretty well known that he is at home. A CHANGE OF TACTICS. Mr. Timmons, the deputy sheriff who went down to Col. Cash's on Wednesday to serve the warrant, is reported to be a brave man, and to be one who is willing to make the arrest. The result of hin visit I have already telegraphed. Since his return to Chcraw the impressio1 seems to have got abroad that the Cash* have changed their tactics; that tby will not resist the service of a warr?lti provided the officer who has it can "c^ie up" with Bogan, or, in the words of1."6 Colonel, can "outruu him and bring"101 in." I am told by a friend who iLaJa0 "a friend of the Cashes," that theC?'? nel has directed Bogan tolook'ufc'or himself, not to fire upon any ofl?er> hut to outrun him and get away fro1 him it he can. The swamp lauds o/1"6 ree Dee, where Bogan Cash, it if^'d, .has spent the best part of his life' hunting, afford him a safe retreat?a ffer retreat probably than he could securV leaving the State. If he pursues *la Policy H would be a difficult thingto effect his arrest. He is provided wP the fleetest of blood horses, knows ev7 foot of the vast swamp, and is said t^6 surrounded by staunch adherents w>> w?' g?ve him auy assistance he needs; TUE STORY OF T? MURDER. The inquest over/ne hody of the murdered marshal f held as already published in the tel?TaPhic columns of the New? and Courf on the 29th ult. The testimony ha/?cen forwarded to Chesterfield Court,use and is not acces? sible. From wb* 1 can gather here from eye-witnes* of the affair there doe3 not seem / he much doubt as to the character </tlie homicide. If what these witnessed id to be relied upon it was a cruel/wanton murder. Cash it seems had b?* in town 30rae days pre? vious to thf*ooting, and had a fight with the to/ marshal. One of Cash'H friends tol#e that he had said that he was drun$D that occasion and that Richards/1?1 Kenten him pretty badly; at any /e the matter was thought to have be1 settled. Cash promised Mr. McNai/the inteudant of Cheraw that he woi/ not molest Richards, and Mr. McNa/had told Richards that Cash had pledg* his "word of honor" not to take aDy jffair advantage of him (Richards) and/*iat h? (the intendant) had every cot2eucc in his keeping his word. It i3 Sieved by some here that W. 13. Cash fuf intended to keep his word. Col. rjlh was in Columbia at the time of the jut between Richards and his son, and Aly returned home on the Saturday of Jbe shooting. It is said ahnt upon find? ing that W. B. Cash had been beaten he started to clean up his gun and announc? ed his intention of coming to Cheraw to kill Richards, and it is believed that in order to prevent his father from carrying out his threat Bogan Cash then took" the job into his own bands. He reached Cheraw about 4 o'clock on the fatal after? noon, and anuouueed bis intention to a gentleman, whose name for obvious rea? sons is suppressed. He brought three horses with him and had them hitched conveniently for use. Then he went out gunning. Richards was standing near the corner of Front street leaning against a tree, Coward near him. Cash passed him twice, went to the telegraph office on Market street, sent off a dispatch aocK then returned. Upon passing his victim the third time he accosted him, band in pocket. "Hello! Richards," said be, "are you watching me t" To this Rich? ards replied that he was only on duty, Turning to Coward Cash said: "Damn it. are you watching me, too !" to which no answer was returned. Cash thereupon started to walk off and Richards, in his anle-mortem statement, says he thought he was going away. Not so. Quickly pulling out a self cocking Smith & Wes? son pistol, Cash fired, the ball hitting Richards in the arm and giving Coward his death wound. A second shot gave Richards his death wound and a third missed both men. Cash then ran off, mounted one of his three horses and started for the castle of his family. In the meantime lie lugged out a fresh pis? tol which he probably had on his person. Passing the railroad station, which is on the outskirts of the town, he shouted to the agent: "I've got two of them, and um ready for as many more as may come." I am informed that thero were from fifty to seventy-five persons in the vicinity of the place when the shooting occurred. It is also said that when W. B. Cash reached his home Cash senior was stand? ing upon the platform armed with his gun, and that, upon the arrival of his son, he embraced him and told him that it was the best deed he had ever done. It is said that the Colonel was ready to start for Cheraw himself on the next train, in order to take a hand in the hunt. OFFICIAL LUKEWARMNESS. These are the details of the crime, as far as I have been able to gather them. As to Cash's subsequent movements nothing can be learned, except by report. It is conceded here that he might have been arrested if prompt measures had been taken at the outset by the sheriff. There are a good many rumors out con? cerning the sheriff, Mr. Spofford. Peo? ple s?em here to admit very readily that he is a brave man?a very brave man ; but the admission is accompanied by an intangible and indescribable qualification best expressed in type by the word hut ?followed by a dash. It is intimated that Col. Cash is one of the sureties on bis official bond, and that this may ac? count for his reluctance to proceed to extremities. While I meet on every side the assurance that the sheriff could easi? ly organize a posse in the village of Che? raw, I gather at the same time the im? pression that the posse will never be formed, and that Bogan Cash will never be arrested by the local authorities here. The real fact of the matter is that the people up here are, to a certain extent, demorali/.ed, and the demoralization is bound to continue and eventually to end in terrorism or lynching unlesssomething is done to vindicate the authority of the State. (Jash might end the difficulty by giving himself up, but up to this time it has not suited his pleasure to do so. He might have ended the matter by leaving the Stale, for he has had abundant time to do so, hut I scarcely think that ho will attempt this now that a price has been set upon his head. 1 am told that reared as he has been in the lap of rude luxury und used to carrying his life in his hand, he would be entirely unfit for the practi? cal duties of civilized life. His retreat is said to be an island in the Pee Dee swamp, where he breeds race horses and game chickens, and where he occasional? ly gathers his friends and treats them iu royal style. On the day on which he killed Richards he had come up to Che? raw to get up a horso race. His capture will doubtless be a difficult undertaking even supposing he adopts the policy said to be recommended by the "Colonel" and takes to the swamp. That he is des? perate and mat he cau gather a handful of desper/ite men around bim is not to be doubted, and even if he should be cornered the opinion seems to prevail that he will make a desperate fight. If he takes to the s^amp he will be able to evade pursuit and will lead his pursuers a long and by u-? means a pleasant chase. All these are rierely surmises, however, based upon th? supposition that an effort will be made to capture him. At this writing I hsve not seen the evidence of any earnest effort looking in that direc? tion. Nor lo I think that there is any? body in tb3 section who is anxious to earn the -;500 reward offered by the Governorfor his arrest. ac<?s80ry after the fact. Chef^'. March 9?12.30 p. m.?State constate R. N. Richhourg, with twelve pickec7nen armed with improved Spring? field rifles, left Columbia at midnight last ?'gh*. and arrived at Florence at 3 30 a. m. They were met there by She'A* Co]e, of Darlington, and took a spfjial train for Cash's Depot, no regular tpin leaving on Sundays. Tbe force r<iched a point a mile below Cash's De ^t at 5 a. tn. Here the train stopped ?nd the force disembarked and proceeded up the track on foot to Cash's house. Before daylight the house was surroun? ded, and the force waited for light. About G o'clock Cash the elder rose, found that the pickets were about, armed himself with a Winchester repeating rifle aud pistols and tried to escape from the premises. He ran against John H. Pearson, one of the sentinels, who pre sented his rifle, demanding his suirender. Cash hesitated, and Pearson said : "Drop your gun, or I'll shoot you in two sec? onds." Cash dropped bis gun quickly. He admitted having been taken com? pletely by surprise. When captured he was endeavoring to make his way to the log-house across the railroad, where young Cash has been sleeping every night since the murder. The force closed in and searched old Cash's house thorough? ly, but could find nothiug of Bogan Cash. A party started for the log house before mentioned. When they were half way there, Cash, getting alarmed for bis son's safety, made a proposition to go to the log-house, if allowed to do so, alone, and pledged his sacred honor that he would have his son surrender within two hours. The proposition was acceded to and the force was recalled. Cash went and soon returned, saying that bis son had left the house an hour before and that he did not know where he was. He offered, however, if the force would with? draw that bis son would surrender before Wednesday. He frankly stated that he only wanted to come off with flying col? ors, that neither he nor his son desired to be considered outlaws, but that he de? sired to effect a capitulation on his own terms. Bearing in mind the desire of Governor Thompson that Ca-?h should be captured before he had a chance to sur? render, Chief Constable Richbourg de? clined these terms. Cash then made other propositions and finally offered to let Richbourg go with him to hunt his son, promisiug that he would aurreuder within tweuty-four hours if the posse were dispersed. This showed weakening and was finally refused by Richbourg, who immediately proceeded to give Cash a taste of the rigor of the law. His premises were surrounded by a guard with instructions to allow no departure or arrival. Cash's pistols and ri?e were taken from him. Cash protested bitterly against this, but said that he yielded to force. Capt Richbourg, having deter? mined to let nothing prevent the most thorough search for young Cash, left most of his men at the house and at 9 o'clock proceeded to Cheraw to summon a larger posse of horsemen with which to enter the swamp and track the fugitive to his hiding place. He is supposed to be near Cash's Depot on an island in the swamp. Arriving at Cheraw at 10 o'clock Capt. Richbourg called ou the intendant and authorities for the force. He desired some fifty men. He id carrying out the desire of the Governor in making no terms with the Cashes. Florence, March 9.?The expedition sent against the outlaw, Bogan Cash, was most systematically managed and thor? oughly carried out. So little was known of the plans tbat your correspondent, who had been skirmishing around the Cash castle during ,ue latter portion of the week, had almost despaired of seeing any steps taken to arrest the murderer, and in obedience to orders from the home office was wending his way towards Charleston. Leaving Cheraw in compa? ny with Solicitor Newton, who bad re? turned from Bennettsville the night j previous, we reached Florence about noon ; on Saturday. From this point Solicitor i Newton took the Charleston train, while your correspondent remained here in the hope of hearing something before tbe departure of the 2 a. m. Sunday train for Charleston. At 9 o'clock last night I received a telegram from Columbia ad? vising me to postpone my trip to Charles? ton. At 2 a. m. to-day the train from Columbia reached here,, and thirteen quiet, but determined looking, men stepped out on the platform, bringing with them an oblong box, which the few loiterers around the depot took to be a casket. These men were a special posse from Columbia appointed to arrest the CasheB. They were under command of Capt. Richbourg, who was met here by Sheriff Cole, of Darlingtou County, and were accompanied by Solicitor New? ton who had goue to Columbia via Lanes aud Sumter. in the meantime a locomo? tive had been gotten in readiness and attached to a passenger coach ready for the posse. All the arrangements had been perfected so quietly tbat outside the railroad aud telegraph officials no one here knew what was on the tapis. The Columbia correspondent of The Nervs and Courier accompanied the posse, hav iug boarded the train at Columbia, and the details of the expedition will be re? lated by him. The wires here were put into requisition about 10 o'clock this morning, and news was received of the capture of the elder Cash. Very few people knew any of the details, although it was suspected that something was up, the report of the departure of the spe? cial train having been circulated. On tbe arrival of the train from Charleston the depot was crowded and the demand for The Sunday News was so large that the newsboys had sold out their supply and collected the money for their papers before they arrived. The Cashes had evidently the most perfect arrangements for getting the news of any movement directed against them. They had an expert operator at Cash's Depot who tapped the wires and read all the messages sent to and from Cheraw. The wire was not broken, but was low? ered in the swamp near Bogau's hiding place and the messages intercepted with? out breaking the circuit. Knowledge of this haviug been conveyed to Columbia the base of the campaign was changed and established at Florence. The Cashes, therefore, had no intimation of the movement of the State posse, and hence the capturo of the elder Cash. Bogan Cash must either have slept away from his usual hiding place, or have received warning early this morning of the pres? ence of the officers of the law. Old Cash has been arrested on a war? rant charging him with being an acces? sory after the fact in the murder of Rich? ards and will be taken to Columbia, as it would be farcical to incarcerate him in the County jail at Chesterfield, It is probable that the sheriff would be too ill to guard the prisoner whom he could not cap'.urc. It is thought that evidence may be procured to indict old Cash for being an accessory before the fact of the murder, which is punishable with death. He has not, however, been arrested on this charge. The punishment for being an accessory after the fact is imprison? ment in the penitentiary, and the priso? ner may be tried even should the mur? derer escape, the State being called upon, however, to prove the murder. Awarded Damages and Sentenced to Death by the Same Court. In September 1S80, Andrew J. Thomas, of Bartow county, Ga., a brakcman on the Western, and Atlantic Railroad, was struck and knocked from a box car by a projection under a shed of a freight depot. In 18S1 be brought suit against the railroad for damages on accouut of injury, which was a severe blow ou the head. The first verdict was obtained in 1882, and was for $15,000. This was set aside as excessive. The case was again tried in 18S3, and a verdict was obtained for $5,376.66. The verdict has just been compromised by the company paying to the attorneys of the injured man #3,000. In January, 1881, Thomas had a fight with a man named John Alford. Thom? as shot Alford in the breast and forehead, killing him almost instantly. Thus it came to pass that Thomas had two cases in the same court?one against a railroad for damages and one in which he was defendant on the charge of murder. He was first convicted, and on recommenda? tion to mercy was sentenced to life im? prisonment. The caso went to the Su? preme Court and a new trial was granted. On that trial he was convicted without any recommendation to mercy. That verdict the Superior Court set aside and by agreement Thomas pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and was sentenc? ed to eighteen years in the penitentiary. The same Court that gave him damages in one case found him guilty of murder in another. He had a wife and child living and the trustees for them received the money. Guiteau nnd Garfleld, New York, March 6.?Charles H. Reed, who was counsel for the assassin Guiteau during the latter part of bis trial, was interviewed to day. He said he bad read in the newspapers a state? ment of ex-Postmaster-General James to the committee in Washington, which conveys the impression that the Star route prosecutions were in some measure the cause of the shooting of the late President Garfield. He continued: "I am therefore willing to have published for the first time some conversations which occurred between Guiteau and my? self while I acted as his attorney. On several occasions, when alone with Guiteau, I asked him if he bad any accomplice or if any person knew that be thought of shooting the President. Ho alwayB announced in the most em? phatic manner, 'No, no one but God and me knew anything about it.' On the day before he was executed, when I saw him fo. the last time, I said to him : "Guiteau, all hope of saving you is gone ana you must die to-morrow. Now, I ask again, had you any accomplice or did any person besides you know any? thing about your intention to kill the President?'* "With a wild light in his eyes, which was impossible of simulation, he replied : 'No, no I No one but God and me knew anything about it, as I have often told you. That is the truth as I expect to meet my God to-morrow." J6y* Faded articles of all kinds restor? ed to their original beauty by Diamond Dyes. Perfect and simple. 10 cents, at all druggist. ?

The Chester Bulletin reports the capture in that county of a monster which ha3 the head of a lion and the body of a goat. It was captured by a party of coon hunters in the canebrakes of Sandy River, but not until it bad killed five dogs. It has no name and it is said that its "genus is unrecorded in the. pages1of zoology." ? Fatal cases of trichinosis have just occurred in Michigan and Indiana. In both instances German families were the sufferers, and the victims bad been eating uncooked swine's flesh. The pernicious habit of eating smoked or sailed pork, without cooking it, retains its bold upon the Germans, notwithstanding the warn? ings of physicians and the frequent re? ports of disease and death resulting from the practice. It is to this habit to which the great prevalence of trichinosis in Germany is to.be.attributed. ? Here is the latest reference to Gen? eral Toombs: Gen. Bob Toombs owob some very valuable land in Texas. A little while ago he refused $10 an acre for a tract of 4,000 acres, and he owns much more than this. It was to this land the general referred when he an? swered the inquiry of a Northern man in Paris just alter the war. The latter asked "bow that d?d rebel managed to live." "Tell him," replied the General, "that I am eating an acre of dirt a day." He was selling Texas lands at $5 an acre, which was about his daily expense?. "Rough on Corns."
