)AY, MARCH 13, 1884. . . - ? . -.:r=T3 TERMS s ONE YEAR..'.N0 SIX MONTHS. 75C' Two Hollars if not i>al?l uilvanct.. Kx Senator McDonald" linn tendered his resignation as chairman of the Indi ana Democratic Executive Committee. Being a candidate for President he cold not well continue to serve. If nominat ed it would be improper, and if defeated his continuance would subject him lo unpleasant criticism, it' things did not turn out right. As both National Convention? meet in Chicago Ibis year, Senator Edmunds has ventured to predict that the next Presi dent will be nominated in that city, unless Hen Huller runs. Ile would have been sale in the prediction without thc proviso. Hen Butler may again be elected Governor of Massachusetts, but he cannot be elected Presiden'.. The friends of the Carolina, Cumber land Gap it Chicago Railroad in this aection were giealiy encouraged recently hythe report that arrangements bad been made with the Louisville A Nashville Railroad Company to complete the build ing of their road. Unfortunately, how ever, the rumor turns out to be incorrect, and the road will have lo arrange other wise for its building. This ia a great enterprise, and if successful would bo of incalculable benefit Jo our State. Senator Hampton is reported as saying that Senator Bayard, if nominated for President by the Democrats, could carry all of thc doubtful States in thc coming election. Wc believe he is righi. Sen ator Bayard is a splendid man, and we think would make the best nominee possible for the Democrats. It is not probable, however, that thc Democratic politicians will nominate him. Iii? nomination would bc almost the ensuiva ient of victory, but then it would be n victory on principle, and the administra tion would bo conducted in thc interest of thc winde country, and not as a ma chine to reward his personal followers, It is hard to nominate such a man it these or any other times. The Augusta Chronicle and Comtitu /?cmalist says that only about *15,000,00< ha? been asked of the present Congres: by oue hundred und fifty ambitious vii loges for public buildings. In additior there is a bill before the House am Senate asking for thc erection of pus office buildings at every town which i now or which shall hereafter become ai office appointed by thc President. Thi bill will not pass?t this lime, though J system of public buildings for tho gov eminent ?nices in ^^^^^ nolboJ^j^&^ytnt the gov' ._._^rtflrm^rfnun beiug, in many instances .pwu-ary cheated in the prico of rents Tho trouble about public buildings ba always been that they aro erected nn only for uso, but also for show, and henel cost immensely. It is proper for tin government lo have handsome building! in tho larpcr cities, but in towns tin buildings should be erected in a durabh manner, and sufficiently spacious for tin needs of thc government, but ??thou the extravagant expenditure for show which is the present custom. Tho sentiment favoring thc renomma lion of the "old ticket" of Tilden ant Hendricks ison tho increase just now, nut probabilities point more strongly to it than to any other action by thc Demo cratic Convention. Next to the nomi nation of Mr. Bayard we think th ic would ho tho beat policy the party car pursue, and would give a reasonable as miranee of victory in the coming election Tho old ticket would carry every South ern 8tate, with New Jersey, Connecticut, Delaware, Indiana and New York reason ably safe, and would stand a good pros pect of carryiag Ohio, with Pennsylva nia and Illinois ciosu in a fight. Thi: nomination would arouse a sense of jus tice in the mind of the American people and the enthusiasm which the determi nation t? right the wrongs of 1876 would create, would, wo believe, bo akin to th? political tempest which swept the country in 1840. It would have tho confidence ol the business men of the United States, and would raiso a larger campaign lune1 than any ticket the party can name Owing to Mr. Tilden's age we do uot be lieve tho administration would equal one over which Mr. Bayard would proaide but ihsro ie no doubt lt would ba wh>e cautious, economical and efficient. Mr Tilden's administration as Governor ol New York guarantees that. Theseleo tion of this ticket would unite all fac tions of the Democratic porty, end still the storm which tho extremo tariff revio ionists are trying to raisp, aud which will, in our judgment, sink the Demo cratic party if it is not harmonized. Thc tariff revision ?B au issue which ought to win, and which will eventually win, but it will not be until after tho ^publican party has been beaten upon ether issues, or until political parties are reformed upon different lines, it has now been twenty-four year* since the Democrats have had a President, and another defeat will in all probability disband the party, as tho old whig party was disbanded, by constant defeats. No party can s-rvivc 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, aud make the coming canvass to W?J. After we get possession of the government we caa discuss the important questions, of gov ernment, about which there are differ ences, to better advantage. For these reasons wo favor a canvass to carry the Eastern States, which gives proruis* of success, rather than a hopeless, ?hough plucky, fight for the Wost. . ---- - A resident of the upper part of Richland County who was in the city yesterday reported that tho skeleton of * white man bsd been found about eight miles from tho city, and near bj WM. ?uso discovered the skeleton- of a monkey, is not known who the man wau, v BU pp os cd to have been an o:gan ^fumftia JUguter. The action of Governor Thompson in Attempting to have W. B. Cash, the ruffianly murderer, arrested and brought to justice is commended on all sides. There has never before in our recollection been un incident in times of peace that has so gravely reflected upon the efficien cy of our laws in South Carolina, as the killing of the town marshal "f Cheraw by this desperado in the presence of some seventy men, and his excapo with out an effort to detain him, and the sub sequent apathy of the County officers in not trying lo nrre.?t thc murderer. It was, therefore, the duty of thc Governor to interfere, to thc end that it might he established that criminals cannot go free iu fsoutll Carolina because a County government is too cowardly or too apa thetic, to do its duty. If the reports about the Sherill of Chesterfield, in con nection with the failure to arrest W. I'.. Cash be true, he should bo indicted for failure lo discharge his duties in so grave an occurrence. The ('ash family have influence, wealth and intelligence, which has given them a prominent position in iheie section of lite State, but they ure not entitled to violate thc laws any more than the humblest citizen, and instead of being granted immunity, they should be mort' severely held lo account for their atrocious conduct. They know helter, and their association with gentlemen de prives them of the slightest excuse or palialiou for their brutality. It is high limo that their blustering insolence and their reckless disregard for human lile were slopped by the Klrung hand of the law just as such crimes in tho poorest anil must ignorant would be stopped, and Governor Thompson bas done worthily in putting the power of the State to bear to supprces these defiant violators of thc law. This action of the Governor has to day made W. Ii. ('ash a fugitive and ?in outlaw, with a price set upon his bend, juot us all other red handed murder*T are io South Carolina, whrro they elude arrest. It has put him upon thc crimi nal level where he belongs, ond which bc has deserted tho association of gentle men tu assume. It is not probable that he can long escape arrest, and then he will certainly be tried for the murder with which be is charged. Tho arrest of Col, E. 13. C. Cash was also eminent ly proper. There is every reason to be lieve him at leset r.n a-cessory after the fact of the murder, and his violence waa a menace to thc peace und order of tho community. Indeed bis threats to kill and burn, mark him us n public enemy. He is old vnough to know better tbnn pursue thc course he has seen fit to tako of Inte years, lie hus but recently killed a gentleman of high character in defiance of all law, but through tho inoxplicablo mercy of u Darlington jury wus given immunity. Since this time he has been more vindictive mid violent than ever, his highest ambition seeming to h??-.** appear before tho wnrU - ? desperado. Tlie (?>?.>? .M,a,e ?f South Carolina re ?.jfiftres that these things should be stopped, ami it is to tho credit of our Governor that he has tho pluck to perform his duty and uso tho power of tho State to stop it. Tho Courts will doubtless prop erly finish tho good work which the Governor has begun. A Walk over for Smalls. SUMTER, March 10.-The Congression al Convention convened promptly at 12 M. In-dsy. A temporary organization was formed by the election of S. .1. Bampfield as chairman and George E. iierriott ns secretary. Tho following committee on credentials was appoiuted : R. K. Washington of Berkcly chairman; Louis Jacobs of Williamsburg, James Wigpr of Beaufort, F. S. Richardson of Charleston, John P. Boyeo of Beaufort at largo. Smalls entered tho Convention with the Berkeley delegation of ton, the Charleston delegation of one, the Beau fort delegation of six and pcLsibly the Williamsburg delegation of tiireo pledged to him. The delegations from the other counties, viz : Colleton, Georgetown, Orangeburg. Richland and Sumter, were all contested. Gen. Robert Smalls was But In nomination by James Wigg, of eaufort, in an appropriate and telling speech. This nomination was seconded by R. H. Washington, W. H. Thompson and It. K. Richardson. Swails was put in nomination by Louis Jacobs and sec onded by II. II. Mouzon. On the first ballot Smalls received thirty-five votes, Swails three-, Strakef ons. Small's nom ination was then made unanimous. An Outlaw's Ruse. MORO ANTON, N. C., March G.-Lucky Joe Wilson, the chief of a band of horse thieves and outlaws, escaped from the jail of WaUuga County to day by a sharp ruse. Wilson was sentenced to the State prison for ten years for bis outlawry. He took an appeal and was awaiting a decis ion ol 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 officiais and' prepared ?br burial. The coffin was or dered ar. I all other preparations made for the interment of thc dead outlaw. The body was placed in an outbuilding where it waa viewed by many of the pris onets and officers of the jail. The eyes wore wide open and seemingly glazed in death. Blood had spurted from the mouth and ran down on the bed covering. A minister was 3ent for to preach the fu neral of the uotorious robber. Tho body was left alone until the time arrived for burial. When everything became quiet about the prison Wilson suddenly resus citated himself, spraug up and dashed! out of tho room and made his escape Before any one was aware of what hal occurred he dashed down the mountah and fled towards Tenuessee. The disc-v ery of the ruse played upon them by Wilson so paralyzed the officers .hat they permitted the prisouer to ge? two hours the start of them before thry fol lowed him.

ClIEKAW, Mardi 7.- Henry Berry Lowery in the palmy days of Iiis out lawry scarcely attained more notoriety than the persons who rejoice in the Dame of ('ash have managed lo secure for themselves, within the past fortnight. The traveller who journeys hy rail over any portion of Lastern .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 '.he train leaves Florence, the thriving town at thc junction ol' the several roads which connect lhere and fctrikis. oui in the direction of thc fertile fields of the 1'ce-Deo suction, the talk becomes intensified, and pretty soon the entire company in the conch is engaged in it. The conversation is invariably carried on in a subdued tone of voice, and very much in the style in which a nurse relates a ghost or goblin '.tory lo her appalled and frightened child. ll" 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 ol uneasiness until it leaks ont that the -trangcr is not a Cash. Those who live within the reach ol' the nimble pistol and deadly rille of Cash Castle arc fond ol' relating anecdotes illustrative ol the desperate deeds of the Cashes. Most of them pre face their stories and incidents with the remark: "i'm a friend of Col. Cadi, although I don't uphold him and Hogan in this thing," referring of course lo Mr. Kogan Cash's latest bloody exploit at Cheraw and his subs?quent d?fiance ol arrest. At Cash's Depot, the abiding place <<l Col. Cash and his son, lhere is a general throwing up of n indo WM and a eran i ag of necks with anxious inquiries fruin the strangers on the train: thal where they live?'' "Is either of them there?" "Where's the depot?" &c. Till; CASU CASTLE. Cash's Depot viewed from the railroad is a dreary enough place. A low, hal: decayed platform constitutes the "Depot." About a hundred yards lo the South of this is nu old rickety one story bu i ld inj in an oak thicket near the railroad tract. This is the ?tore know:) as -Larkins." Tho Cash mansion stands on a knoll about GOO yards lo the rigbt of the rail road track. It is a substantial two and a half story frame residence nilli a double pinz/.a, and surrounded hy a grove of majestic pines, l ew outbuildings are near it, and tho usual enclosure of park partially hides the noble proportions of the mansion. Thc place has a peculiarly dreary look. Il is a line residence set down in the midst of a barren pine for est. This is where Col. E. II. C. Cash is residing at present. It used lo be bis own properly, 1 am told, but now be longs to Dr. Larkins, of Lancaster, to whom Col. Cash has sold il, together with the demesne, which consists of nearly f>,OU0 acres of the richest colton laud of this rich and fertile section. The price paid for it is said to have been ??0.0U?. "Does * ". l\. Cash live there?" The inquiry ..u'.e from iba correspondent of The Nev? end Courier, und was directed to a gentleman who was "a friend :-f Col. Cash" ano' with whom ho had formed a speaking acquaintance on the journey, rina whoso name lor obvious reasons il might perhaps be injudicious to publish. "No, ho doesn't,: replied ihe friend ol the Cashes. "Ho lives below there.-' And then my informant went on to tell what he knew about tho movements and savings of thc Cashes. He said that since the shooting in Cheraw W. JJ. Cash had been staying at a house which ho pointed out to mo and which is about SOO or DU') yards South of Ihe Cash man sion, on the line of thc railroad, and is in fight of the track. It is a plain log house, strongly and evidently recently built in a clearing, and enclosed wilh th 1 characteristic worm lenee ol' pine rai' 1 Inside the enclosure are two stout bar built close together, and in one of th-- ' he informed mc, W.

C'h, he ?lid, had told him that neither'? nor his son Hogan would tire upon <y offi cer of the law who attempted-' arrest him. Thc persons for whoso '?od Col. Cash is reported to be thirsts "re the posse who, it is alleged, vo;,|eered to capture Hogan iininediatel-auer ihe murder. My informant sty*, and his in lot m at ion is substantial by the re ports of eye witnesses, th? Hogan Cash was badly beaten in the?ht with the town marshal Richards hieb preceded tho shooting. Ho adde'hot Col. Cash bad told him that he 'du't intend to have his son lynched, 't that he would see to it that he ga himself up nnd stood his trial like a *n. He said, too, that while he woul not submit to un arrest by a posse of-duntcers, ho would not reaist the attept of any officer to arrest him. I mi aa well state right here that in the vent of Cash's arrest therein nut tim.ig h tesl probability of his* being lynche Such is /my impres sion after conveing with k number of the leading cit?UB of Che/aw who have moat cause to ? outraged il tho lawless ness of the Caies.

VILLAOE/UOSBIP. On te streets of ?heraw, in thf: sitting room of the hot ?saud in tho public place, the subject of conversation is atillJash. To say that the Cashes have tcrrrized tho entire surrounding country wold perhaps baan exaggeration, but it isiainiully app?tent that they aro looked uon with drefu by all who do not ?filiale with tbjfm. In tho sitting room .f the hotel Spnot of a half dozen or more persons vere seated around a fire discussing Ctim- One man was reading from The Nef and Courier of Wednes day the specJM telegram from Washing ton in wbicjftcdlin H.

"I seed him once bn a bender at Society Hill. Ile shot at a nigger-not to kill bim, you know, only jest to scare him a leetle. The nig ger bolted, I tell you, io a hurry. Bogan was on a "bender," and I tell you when he git? on a "bender" he makes things hovA" '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 tay that he did it io self defenco," sair another one of the crowd. Tb which answered still another, I don't doubt that you could get a dozen to say so. . They are afraid of bim." TSE CONDITION Ol' COWA UP. The small boy here volunteered the in formation that Col. Cash had Mint word io Coward, thc bystander who waa abut hy W. I!. Cash,'that he would j>ay ail bia debts und the expenses of hi* Bick' ncaa and il a day during the time of lila lockness. Coward, it may bo stated, in thc opinion of his physicians, will never j recover, lie is said lo be hopelessly and fatally wounded. In a conversation, i which I subsequently had with a proud- J neut citizen ho said io me that it was not ! true that Cash had the whole place in a ?state of terror. Fifty men, ho said, 1 could he obtained to undertake thc exe- ; I cution of tho WM rant for Cash's arrest i :f thc sherill' called upon them and au- ? , lliori/.cd them lo ?Io it.

From wi- 1 cuu gather here from eye-witnesVof iho, n?air lbero does not seem be mucb doubt ?w to the character , the homicide. It what these wiloeasc4*y ??* lo bu relied upon it was a cruel vu"ton murder. Cash it seems had W town some days pre vious to tb'noot'nc?i aad had a h-jlit with thu te' mara?al. Une of Cash's friends lob08 lbat hc had baiu -bal be was drariW" lbat" occasion and that Richards11! beaten hiai pretty badly; at any e tb<! matler was thought to have be !ft-'ttled. Cash promised Mr. McNai*lbe intendant of Cheraw that he wei nut ni,?,eilt' Richards, and Mr. . McNcnai' M0" Richards that Cash had pledg b's "word of honor" not to tako j anv fair advantage of him (Richards) am'|iiat he (the intendant) had every culleuce in his keeping his word, lt ?a lieved by some hore that W. li. Cash ly* intended lu keep his word. Col. , ii was in Columbia ut the time ot the lil between Richards und his son, and i ly returned home on thc Saturday of no shooting. It issaidihat upon find ing that W. B. Cash had been beaten he darted to clean up his ?nu and announc ed his intention of coming to Cheraw to kill Richards, and it is believed that in jrder to prevent his lather from carrying mt bia lineal Hogan Cash then took the ?ob into his own bands, ile reached Cheraw about 4 o'clock on the fatal after noon, and announced his intention to a gentiemnn, whose name foi obvious rea io.is is suppressed. He brought three horses with him and hud them hitched conveniently for uso. Then he went out t/unuing. Richards was standing near ibo corner of Front street leaning against it tree, Coward near him. Cash passed bim twice, went to the telegraph office on Market street, sent off a dispatch amV then returned. Upon passing his victim the third lime he accosted him, hand in pocket. "Hello ! Richards," said he, "are you watching mc?" To this Rich ards replied that ho was only on duty, Turning to Coward Cash said :""Datnn ll, are you watching me, too !" to which no answer was relumed. Cash thereupon started to walk olT and Richards, in his ante-mortem statement, says he thought he was going nway. Not so. Quickly pulling out H self cocking Smith & Wes son pistol, Cash fired, tho ball hitting Richards in the arm and giving Coward his death wouud. 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 tho castle of his family. Io the meantime he lugged out a fresh pis tol which he probably bad ou his person. Passing tho railroad station, which is on tho outskirts of the town, ho shouted to the agent : "I've got two of them, and um ready for as many more as may come." I am informed that ibero were from fifty to seventy-five persous in thc vicinity of the place when the shooting occurred. It is also said that when W. B. Casi reached hi:*, home Cash senior wua alane ing upon ibo platform armed with hi; gun, und that, upon tho arrival of hi: sou, he embraced him and told him tba it was the best deed he had ever done It is said that tho Colonel was ready ti start for Choraw himself on ibo nex train, in order to tako a hand in the hun) OFFICIAL LUKEWARMNESS. ? These aro the details of the crime, a far as I have been able to galber their As to Cash's subsequent movement nothing can be learned, except by report It is conceded hero that he might bay been arrested if prompt measures ha been taken at the outset by the sh?rif There are a good many rumors out cor cerning ibo sheriff, Mr. Spofford. Pee Ide seem here to admit very readily the ie is a brave man-a very brave man but tbe admission ia accompanied by a intangible and indescribable qualificatio best expressed in typo by the word bu -followed by n dash. It is iutimate that Col. Cash is ono of the sureties o hia official bond, and that this may a< count for his reluctance to proceed t extremities. While I meeton every sid the assurance that the sheriff could eas ly organize a posso in the vii Inge of Chi raw, I gather at the same timo the ia firession that the posse will never b brmed, and that Bogan Cash will nevt be arrested by the local authorities her* The real fact of the matter is that th people up here are, to a certain cxten demoralized, and the demoralization ! bound to continue and eventually to en in terrorism or lynching unlesssomethin ia done to vindicate the authorily of tb Sute. Cash might end tho difficulty b giving himself up, bat up to this time bas not suited bis pleasure to do so. B might have ended the matter by leavin the State, for he has had abundant tim to do so, but I scarcely think that he wi attempt this -now that a price has bee set upon bia bend. I am told that reare as he has been in the lap of rude luxui and used to carrying his life in his bani he would be entirely unfit for the pract cal duties of civilized life. His retrei is said to ba aa island in the Pee De swamp, where he breeds race horses an game chickens, and where ??^1T?^ ly gathers hi- friends ?nd treal* them in royal style. On Hi?

They were met lhere by ??liriff Cole, of Darlington, and took a ?ip. ?al train for Cash's Depot, no regular lrm leaving on Sundays. The force (-ached a point a mile below Cash's De jt ut 6 u. m. Here the train stopped nd the force disembarked and proceeded p the track on foot to Cash's house. Before daylight the house wassurroun ed, .iud ibo force waited for light, kbout t? o'clock Cash Hie elder rose, ?und that ttie pickets were about, armed i nisei 1' willi a Winchester repeating i flo and pistols and tried to escape from he premises. He ran against John H. 'carson, one of the sentinels, who pre entcd his ri ile, demanding his suirender. .ash hesitated, and Pearson said : "Drop our gun, or I'll shoot you in two Hec nds." Cash dror.p.'d his gun quickly. Ie admitted bavin-; been taken com lett ly by surprise. When captured he .as endeavoring to make his way to tho >g house across the railroad, where oung Cash has been sleeping every night iuce the murder. The force closed in nd searched old Cash's house thorough ly I'ttt could fmd nothing of Bogan 'ash, A party started for the log house fore mentioned. When they were half ray there, Cash, getting alarmed for his mi's safety, made a proposition to go to ho loir-house, if allowed to do so, alono, nd pledged his sacred honor that lie ,'ould have his son surrender within two tours. The proposition was acceded to nd the force was recalled. Cash went nd soon returned, saying that his son tad left tho house nu hour before and hat he did not know where be was. He tiered, however, if the force would with Iraw that his sou would ourrender before Wednesday. He frankly stated that ht inly wanted lo come off with Hying col irs, that neither he nor his sou desired 0 he considered outlaws, but thai he de ired to effect a capitulation on his owt: erins. Hearing in mind the desire o ?overiior Thompson that Cash should bi ?;itured before he had n chance to sur ender, Chief Constable Itichbourg de dined these tenus.

FLORENCE, March y.-The expeditio ?eut against the outlaw, Rogan Cash, wa most systematically managed and thoi jughly carried out. So little waa know af the plans tbat your corresponden who bad been skirmishing arouud tb Jush castle during the latter portion < die week, had ulmoat despaired of seein iny steps liken to arrest the mu rete re ind in obedience to orders from the hon iflice was wending his way towart Jharleston. Leaving Cheraw in comp: ly with Solicitor Newton, who had r .urned from Bennet'aville the nigl previous, we reached Florence about not in Saturday. From this point Solicit Newton took the Charleston train, whi four correspondent remained here in tl nine of hearing som ?thing before ll lepa.iure of tu* 2 a. m. Suud&y trtin i Charleston. A. 9 o'ciock last night received a telegram from Columbia a vising me to postpone niy trip to Charil ton. At 2 a. m. to-dsy tho train frc Columbia reached lice, and thirte quiet, but determined looking, m stepped out on the platform, bringt with them an oblong box, which the f loiterere around the depot took to be casket. These men were a special po from Columbia appjinted to arrest I Cashes. Tbey were under command Capt. Richbourg, who was met here Sheriff Cole, cf Darlington Conn and were accompanied by Solicitor Ni ton who had gone to Columbia via La and Sui i ter. In the meantime a io .-or live had been got .en ic readiness t attached to a passooger coach ready the posse. AU he arrangements i been perfected so quietly that outside railroad and telegraph officials no < here knew what was on the tapis. *] Columbia correspondent of The iV and Courier accompanied the posse, b iug boarded tho train at Columbia, : the details of the expedition will be luted by bim. Tho wires here were into requisition about 10 o'clock i morning, and news was received of capture of tho elder Cash. Very people knew any of the details, al tho: it was suspected that something was the report of the departure o? the i cial train having been circulated. On the asmal of the train fi Charleston the depot waa crowded the demand for The Sunday New? so large that the newsboys had sold their supply and collected the money their papers before they arrived. The Caches had evidently the a perfect arrangement* for getting the n of any movement directed against th They had an expert operator at Ca Depot who tapped the wires and read tlie measages sent to and from Chet The wire was not broken, but was 1 ered in the swamp near Boga n'a hie place and the messages intercepted w out breaking the circuit. Knowledg this having been conveyed to Colon the base of the campaign was chai and established at Florence. The Cas therefore, had no intimation of movement of the Stats poss?, and hi the capture of the elder Cash. Bo Cash must either have slept away f hU usual hiding place, or have rece: warning early this morning of the p once of the officers of the law. Old Cash has been arrested on a \ rant charging him with being mo ac sory after the fact in the murder of B ords and will be taken to Columbia, i would be farcical to incarcerate hin the County jail at Chesterfield. ] probable that the sheriff would be to to guard tho prisoner whom he could capture, lt Is thought thai ?vidi may bo procured to indict old Cash for being an accessory before the fact of the murder, which is punishable with death, ile has not, however, been arrested on this charge. he punishment for being an accessory r.fter the fact is imprison ment in the penitentiary, nnd the priso ner may be tried even should the mur- j derer escape, the State being called upon, however, to prove the murder. Awarded Damages mid Sentenced lo Death by the Same Court. In September 1880, Andrew J. Thomas, of Barlow county, Ga., a brakeman on ibo Western, and Atlantic Railroad, was struck and knocked from a box car by a projection under a shed of a freight depot. In 1881 he brought suit against the railroad for damages on account of injury, which was a revere blow on tho head." Tho first verdict was obtained in 1882, and was for $15.000. This was set asido as excessive. Tho case was again tried in lHSli, und a verdict was obtained for i">,'',7(').iiC>. The verdict has just been compromised by the company paying lo the attorneys ol the injured man $3,000. In January, l*t>l .Thomas had a fight with u man named John Alford. Thom as shot Alford in the breast und forehead, killing him almost instantly. Thus it came to puss that Thomas had two cases in thc same court-one against a railroad for damages aud one iu which he was defendunt on the charge of murder. He was first convicted, and on recommenda tion to mercy was sentenced to lifo im prisonment. The case went to the Su preme Courtaud u new trial was granted. On that trial he was convicted without any recoin inondation to mercy. That verdict thc Superior Court set aside nnd by agreement Thomas pleaded guilty l? 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 ot murder in another. He hud u wife and child living aud the trustees for them received the money. Guitcau and Warfield. NEW YoitK, March C.-Charles II. Heed, who was counsel for the assassin Guiteau during the latter part of his trial, was interviewed to day. He said he had read in the newspapers a state ment of ex-Poslmaster-Ocneral James to the committee in Washington, which conveys tho impression that the Star route prosecutions wore 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 Gui1 eau 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 he thought of ?hooting the President. Ho always announced in the most em phatic manner, 'No, no one but God and me knew anything nbout it.' On the day before he was executed, when I saw him for the laet time, I said to him : "Guiteau, all hope of saving you is gone and you must die to morrow. Now, I ask again, had you any accomplice or did any person besides you know any thing nbout your intention to kill the President?-' With a wild light in his eyes, which was impossible of simulation, he replied : 'No, no ! No ?ne but God and inc knew anything about it, as I have often told you. That is the truth ar. I expect to meet my God to morrow." 867* Faded articles of all kinds restor ed to their original beauty by Diamond Dyes. Perfect and simple.

In both instances German families were the sufferers, and the victims had been eating uncooked swine's flesh. The pernicious habit of eating smoked or salted pork, without cooking it, retains its hold upon the Germans, notwithstanding the warn ings of physicians and the frequent re ports of dieease and death resulting from the practice. It is to this habit to which the great prevalence of trichinosis in Germany is to.bc.attributed. - Here is the latest reference lo Gen eral Toombs: Gen.
