Cash lins HO far eludid arrest, and is to day a fugitive from justice, with A reward offered for his capture, viov. Tb?&ip?on received a telegram from a friend of Cash last week, stating that Cash would surrender if allowed to stay in Chesterfield jail. dov. Thomp son very promptly replied that ho had no authority to designate where prisoners shall be confined, ami therefore could give no guarantee on the subject, it is thought by many that Cash will not be able lo escape long, and thal ho will eventually surrender unconditionally. Speaking of Mr. Tilden as a probable candidate for President, the leading Georgia politicians say : "Colonel Tom Hardeman says he will be the Democrat ic nominee unless he dies beforo the Convention meets. Senator Brown says nothing but the most positive pro hibition to use his name when the Con vention assembles can prevent his nomi nation. Senator Colquitt says the popu lar demand for Tilden's nomination is unprecedented, and it seems thu*, he will be nominated anyhow." Our contemporaries who hate been abusing Mr. Tilden may as well make up their minds to seo bim nominated for President by the Democratic Convention in ChicagOt unless he dies before that time or positively refuses to serve. Tho drift of public sentiment is strongly in his favor, *and there is scarcely time enough between this and the July Con vention to change it. We believe be will be nominated and elected, and it is fortunate that we biivo such an available candidate at this time-otherwise there would be great danger of the must ncri ouft troubles in the Democratic canvass. After the arrest of Col. Cash last week, proceedings in Habeas Corpus were ta ken out for bia release by his counsel, Messrs. Hall & Watts, of Lnurens, and Gen. Y. J. Pope, of Newberry, beforo Chief Justice Simpson, on the allegation that bis arrest and detention in Richland County was illegal. Attorney General Miles and Solicitor Newton appeared for thc State, and after argument the Chief Justice decided that Cash was legally in custody for an offenso which under the law was bailable, and that he would ad mit him to bail. The Counsel for Col. Cash suggested a bond for five hundred dollnrs, while tho Attorney General sug gested five thousand dollars. The Chief Justice decided to require a bond for twenty-fivo hundred dollars, which was promptly given. Messrs. John Agnew and W. J. DeBrubl, signing the bond with Col. Cash, whereupon he was dis charged to appear at tho next term of Court for Chesterfield County, to auBwer ti a charge of being accessory nfter the fact in the killing of Richards. All of thc facts, brought out upon tho proceed ings in llr.beas Corpus, fully justify the notion of tho Governor, and the amount of hail vrquired shows that there is enough ia the case to justify tho chargo made against Col. Cash, and render it proper that he should bo put upon trial 0 for tho same, according lo law. This having been done, the public can trust tbs Courts to desi justly in tba milter. If Col. Casu IB guilty, ho will doubtless bo convicted, nnd if innocent, he will no doubt be acquitted. He has been taught that ho cannot defy the law, and that be is as amenable to its behests ns the hum blest citizen. This ia what the public welfare requires, and it was no persecu tion of Col. Cash to demand it. The supremacy of the law bas been vindica ted and a wholesomo lesson set for the people of the State. TUE HAVANNAH VALLEY KAIMIOAI). Tho elections recently held in the townships of Abbeville County, along the line of this railroad, upon the propo sition to subscribe by taxation io its building, have resulted most satkfcctcri ly to tho friends of the road, and will certainly give it a new impetus which, we trihi t, will secure its early completion. Tho twenty thousand just voted in Ab beville County, with tho twenty flvo thousand voted in Anderson some time ago, gives the company an additional capital of forty-five thousand dollars with which to renew operations. This Bhould be supplemented by at least fifteen thousand dollars from the townships of Hopewell, Centreville, Broadaway, Va rennes Hall, Corner and Savannah In this County, and ten thousand from the City of Anderson. This would give the road a capital of seventy thousand dol lars, and would ensure its early comple tion beyoud a doubt. Such a subscrip tion would not be burdensome on our townships, for it would only require, the payment of an average of a little over ene thousand dollars a year for two years from each of the townships named, and wo have no doubt that each of them would Bave every year, after tho Savan. nah Valley Road is completed, a larger aum in lower freights than they would have to pay during these two years, BO that it will in that way be a profitable financial investment for our people. It will improve our market, nod give new facilities to all of our people. Its con struction will givousa botter and safer guarantee against unjust or exorbitant railroad rates, than all the Commissions eud laws which tho State can establish can possibly do, for it would act by the laws of competition, which appeal to the interests of ibo separate companies. With this road as a part of the Georgia Central Road and our present railroad connections, wa would have t?.-. Burong and competitive systems, to each striving to carry the freights o? thia country, and as a consequence each would have them at the lowest profitable rate. The con sumer would get tho benefit of this ire? duct ion, anti t hero can 'bo no question that if would more than comp?nsate for tho small investment necessary to Hccuro s beso ft i V rt n ? ngea. We hopo ' ou r pec?le ?rill be sufficiently progresiva to;realise (hes* facts, and sufficiently public-spirit-1 KUH BBS ed to make tho contribution asked to secure such great advantages for ourselves and for the future of our City and our County, NOT A CANDIDATE. The Atlanta Constitution by its corres pondent, Mr. Clark Howell, has inter viewed Mr. Tilden, and after describing thc appearance and situation of hi* house in Gramercy l'ark, gives the following as the result ot his interview : Imagine my surprise then on hearing thc footsteps OD the hallway, to see as I '.urned, Mr. Tilden himself advancing towards mc. True, his step was not characterized with ttic easy movements of one in his prime of years. Nor on the other hand did it strike me as being more feeble than could bc expected from one who had turned his three score years and ten. The nervous prostration which a life of exertion had caused, showell itself in tho tremor bf his hand, hut his eyes, the windows of hi? brain, were far more clear and steady than those of nine tenths of the men whe have as yet but (urned their sixtys. He wore a plain cloth suit, his collar fitted closely around his neck, hi* hair was brushed back from his forehead, and as he leaned towards me with "You come lt* see me from tho Consti tutton?" I felt as I replied in (bc aflir mat:VC, when I saw his calm and steady glance, that the magnitude of the mind before nie overshadowed even tho frail bmly which held it. Thc report of his brother Henry's death at Now Lebanon had roached him but this morning, and though his voice was scarcely above a whisper, yet it carried with it tho emotion which filled his soul. Ho spoke tenderly of hi.-ibroth er, and though his death had been ex pected, yet it shocked him. I nat near him ts he spoke, that I might catch his words, for his utterance waa feoblo and scarcely audible at a abort distance, through some troublo with bia throat. Hut the comparatively Btrong mao whom I nat beforo had agreeably surprised mo in that lie moved with ease, certainly portraying not tho characteristics of a confirmed invalid. lits conversation was quick and bo seemed to take much inter est in subjects of which he spoke. "No, I am not so had as I havo been pictured," said he, in reply to my expres sion of surprise as to bia health. 'I am feeble and prostrated from a lifo of exer tion, but my doctors arc positivo that my vital organs aro perfectly sound. Uh, no, I am being made far worse than i really nm." I touched politics incidentally, and told him of the strong sentiment in the South for his rc-uomination. It was almost humorous ns bu leaned to me and .smilingly said : "Wo aro all against tho old ticket in this house." "But tho general verdict of thc ; arly now socms lo point to the certainty of its renomination at Chicago?" "Yea, and I appreciato it, but I will not allow tho uso of my name. I know that I reformed the pol?tica of New York ten yenrB ago. I was more ablo then than now. lt would be a herculean task to undertake to reform,now the mntters of the general government. After twen ty yenra of misrule and mismanagement, corruption has become fixed, and tho most vigorous efforts will lie necessary to pradicnto it. I don't feel my condition would allow mo to copo with it. In my letter a few years ago, I stated why I would not allow tho use of my namo. It was discredited. Tho same reasons I now urge. They have become stronger, for I am foui ears older, and am more infirm now than then, I would urge that the idea bo discontinued, for it is not right that I should undertake to do that which I am practically unable tn do." "Whom, then, do you consider ibo moat available man for the Democrats?" He alowly shook his bend aa be replied : "Well, I don't know. Hoadly is a good man. His strength in tho Western Stnlca would add much to his chances of ?necees. With tho Ucrmau vote be is very popular, and he would provo gener ally acceptable. Payne would be strong, and could make n splendid race." "And Kaudall ?" "Au admirable man, and ono who would acive nia party and country faith fully." "Whero in your opinion will the Ile publican nomination be placed?" ''On Blaine or Arthur, I suppose." "What, gov-Tiior. do you think will or should he tho Lading icsuo of the democ racy ?" "Reform," he replied, "reform should bo tho issue. A flor a misrule, of 20 years the people will stand by it. The party has it in its cv, n hands if it will but take advantage of it." "And if you aro considered to he the one to save it, you could uot resiat its call." "I should have to. I have served it faithfully until I am now unable tu un dergo the exertions which, in case of election, I o hon ld have to make. It can bo done without me. I could not stand the physical etTort. I would not disap point my party. My name must not be considered." This was said with a positive firmness, and as he concluded with a comment on the love of his parly and his devotion to ita priaciplea, I ?ss more than ever con vinced ot his grandeur as a statesman. Yea, he seemed a patriot to me, as he slowly iMose, and raising his voice abovo the whisper in which he had spoken, re peated : "I could not stand the physical effort. I would not disappoint my party." His conversation then became general, and but one more political topic was touched and that in reference to the electoral commission. In reply to some question concerning it, ho said : "Yes, I supported it. I was in favor of it, but its act was ono of great wrong and injustice. I know the people sym pathize with mo, but it ia too late. It is past, and is a orcag that can't hs right I ed." He spoko of his house, which was nearing completion, and asked mo if I would like to see it. He then showed me through the spacious rooms of the first floor himself. Ho enjoyed it, and seem ed to take much pleasure in explaining the hundreds of little conveniences, or pointing out the beauty of the workman ship of some exquisite carvings or handi work. As I left ho gently whispered : "SVould you like to have a picture?'' and going back with him to bis library he took from a drawer in his book case, a cabinet -tho samo face which thrilled the coun try in 76, and which is still loved wher ever his nama ia known, and placing it in my hand smiled as he said : "I am sorry you came ao far to see me. It was a good deal of trouble." Death of Miss Thompson. At 6 o'clock last evening death came to the relief of Misa Elisa Cornelia, eldest daughter of Governor Hugh 8. Thompson, who waa fatally burned on the evening of the 4th instant Miss Thompson was sitting in front of an open grate reading la book when her dress took fire, and before the flames could bo extinguished she received tho injuries which have terminated fatally. The deceased waa a little over 18 years of age. The Governor and bis family have the sincere condolence not only of this community but of the entire State in their ead bereavement.

Carolina, Chicago ami Cumberland (Jap. The ollicers of the Loulsvi'ie and Nashville deny that their company is lo aid ?in the construction of the Carolina, Cumberland (Jap and Chicago Railway, and so we must Inko for granted that, if tho latter is to bc built, >t ".vi!! bc done independently. It will bo remembered that Ibis no tv road was intended to begin at Aiken, S. C., with a ?our to Augusta, timi extend in a North Westerly direction 'o Lexing ton, Ky., where connection was to bc made with tho several lines which centre there. Its course lies through the rich colton districts of South Carolina, the foresta of thc Illue Ridge Mountains and tho extensivo iron and coal fields of Eastern Tennessee and Kentucky. Such a lino ought to be made to pay, for it would open up a valuable section of country which would give a large local traffic. It is not probable that ali of the pro posed lino will ever be constructed, for it would be sufficient to build from the junction with the Louisville and Nash ville at London, Kentucky, and then in connection with that road and the South Carolina Railway, nu air Hue would be formed between Louisville and Charles ton. Although, in the present instance, says the St. Louis Railway Register, the re port of the alliance with the Louisville and Nashville seems to be unfounded, it is not altogether improbable that this great company may ultimately conclude tbut to aid ia the building of the new road would not be unwise. To us, such au extension of its lines would appear to be, if undertaken at thc right time, a profitable undertaking. A lear lu I Mining Disaster. l'ETERSUURO, VA., March 13.-Intel ligence has just been received here of a terrible explosion in the coal mines of tho Southwest Virginia Improvement Company at Pocahontas, Tuzewell Coun ty, in this State, which occurred this moiling al 1 o'clock. These mines are workt'l by a joint stock company com posed mostly of Northern capitalists. There were one hundred and fifty men in the mine at the time of the explosion, not one of T?hos.: is believed to have escaped. Thosu who were not killed outright hy the terrible force of the ex* plosion most likely perished from the after damp, lt is presumed thut the cause of the explosion was that one of the minors struck u tissure filled with gos. Several parties ventured into the mines this morning, but could not long endure the foul atmosphere. A number of botlies were discovered horribly mangle J, some of them with the heads torn from the trunks and others with limb? all gone, present an appalling spectacle. The work of destruction was not confined entirely to tho interior of the mines, but houses 200 or SOO feet removed from the mines were overturned and in several instances entirely demol ished. The large ventilator of the South west Improvement Company was blown to atoms, and the mines cannot be en tered until another is constructed for the purpose of freeing the Atmosphere o' suffocating fumes. This ?crk is DOW progressing speedily. A large fore is engsped op the outside of :he mines conotiacting coffins and perfecting other arrangements for the interment of tho dead rumors, most of whom are foreign ers. Respited For Fifty-Seven Years. WILMINGTON-, DKL, March ll.-The Governor of this State is not empowered by luw lo commute a death sentence to imprisonment for life, but he can do the next best thing, ss he did to-day for Lewis F. List. Ou the 8th of September lost List lived ic tbs rame house in this city with a Mrs. Dean, with whom he quarreled about the payment of his rent and assaulted her quite rudely. George Taylor, her nephew, interfered, kuoc^cd List down and began beating him. List's father interferred and the quarrel for the time was ended, but it was renewed later in the day, when List shot Taylor, inflict ing a mortal wound. List's father was with him at tho time. Immediately after tho shooting young List ran away. He was stopped by Hugo Stewart, but be used bis pistol again and the ball grazed Stewart's head. The old man then ar rived and Stewart released the murderer, who fled with his father to the hr an of | the latter, where both were af>r .rds arrested. The prisoners were tried at ile November term of Court, when Louis F, List was found guilty of murder in the first degree and sentenced to be hanged. Lewis List, the father, was found guilty in tho second degree and sentenced to imprisonment for life. The Governor was appealed to In young List's behalf | and to-day granted a reprieve until Friday, May 2,1040. He is now twenty five years of age and if bo lives out the fif ty-seven years allotted him, another brief j respite will probably enable him to die lo peace. - To disprove the allegation that Samuel J.

The Negro Problem. VVAKIII.N'UTON, Mareil li.-Leading Southern Congressmen have been t>ub jectcd during thc past week lu a aeries of questions tending lo show what steps should be taken regarding the negro problem. Among those asked to give an opinion were Senators Huller and Hampton of South Carolina, and Col quin of Georgia. These gentlemen thought the question one which could not be settled definitely by any law, but rnm-t be left to regulate itself. All at tempts to meddle with the question had hitherto proven futile, and agitation at this time did not promise any better re sults in allaying the evil complained of. No one could say what would be tho course proper to be pursued, and tho only reply that could be returned was to let il alone. Judge Hugh L. Ho nd during a recent sojourn here said lo your correspondent that when bc visited South Carolina u;'aiu he would devote his attention to civil cifca, sr d not political ~J hereto fore. Too much time had been wasted in the consideration of thc latter class of cases, and thc over crowded docket of civil cases must be relieved. Thia will bc good news lu the people of South Carolina and . of the entire section pre sided over by .Judge Hond, for in the past the election tiials have merely de generated into farces which expended money without giving any practical re sults.-Special (.) the Nttcs and Courier.

A Marlboro Mystery. On thc night of March 1st Mr. Joel Coving and his son had occasion to make a search for a missing hog. They wait ed uutil pretty lato and everybody had gone to rest. Leaving but little ure ut home, they went, out "into the darkness and proceeded some distance, when sud denly they saw a bright light at home which appeared to be held up as if for a signal for their return. Knowing that they left but little fire at home and not being able to account for this singular light on the front piazza, they turned their Bteps, and the young man hurried on ahem', tho father following after. Mr. C. Hintes ibat his son had get hut a short distance ahead of him when sud denly there appeared a bright light in his face, and his beard and coat sleeves seem ed to te on fire.

Bis marck instructs the consuls to do every thing in their power to cultivate friendly relations between Germany and toe Uni ted States. He says tho prohibition of American pork arose altogether from sanitary reasons and has no unfriendly character whatever, and intimates it would be to the interest of the United States lo adopt such sanitary measures as exist in Europe, and thereby put Germany in a position to permit the im portation of American poik. 'Thc dis patch shows conclusively that the Ger man Chancellor does not want to pro voke retaliation, but it is his aim to pre serve friendly relati .os between Germany and tho United States. - Thc Ohio Legislature has passed a law which permits intelligent citizens to read newspaper accounts of crime without being disqualified to act as a jurymen. The fact that a man of sense and judgment makes up his mind as to the guilt or innocence of a party accused by a newspaper may not preclude him, it is held, from chancing his views on the presentation of additional facts. Under this new Ohio law juries in criminal cases will not be composed of ignorant and indifferent citizens as heretofore.

Thc Secret Service Division of the Treasury Department reports that it is believed that counterfeiters are concert ing measures to simultaneously pRss upon the public, especially in the cities of the South and West, counterfeit twenty dol lar silver certificates. A sample of the same hits just been received at the office of the Secret Service Division. The issue is of the "Series of 1880-James Gilfillan, Treasurer of thc 1'nited States." The j.aper is thick, greasy and stifT. Thc uotc is one eighth of nu inch shorter than the genuine. There is no distribu ted fiber or parallel silk threads in the piper, as in the genuine. The words "Silver Certificate" appear in panels thc note. In the panel to tho left in the counterfeit the letters "lt," "T" and "F" in the word "certificate" are engraved wrong -ide up. In the counterfeit there are no periods dividing thc initials in li. K. Bruce (thc llcgistcr's signature) on thc lower left corner check, tho letter '"C" is without an accompanying num ber, and in tho name "Gilfillan" only thc first "i" is dotted On thc back of the note the word "Texas" is plainly spi lled "Tares" and thc word "engraved" is spelt "engravad." The color bf the seal is brick red ; it should be verging on brown. The fore going salient points;' if carefully noted, will tor the present protect the public, while the note should not deceive careful handlers of money, especially when the gernctrie lathe work is examined ; yet among the hurried and careless, because of its fair appearance, it may work great damage. The ?.ame Walk Through Prayer. 1'ITTSHL'UO, March 15.- What seems to be a genuine faith cure came to light to day. Mi.is Mary Hilliard, who belongs to a well known Fast Fud family, has been lame for twenty years, and has been unable to walk unless she wore a boot and steel rod fastened to her waist. On Sunday she visited tho house of n friend, took ofT ber boot, and joined with three or four others in prayer for her recovery. At the conclusion of the prayers shestart ed for home, leaving her boot nod steel ?supporter in tho house. She walked freely. She flays the best physicians in London and New York pronounced her case hopeless, and that her instantaneous recovery is due to nothing but prayer. A Cyclone in Alabama.

The wisc far mer will bc sure to plant corn enough. Cotton will be cheap next fall, and unless mude as a surplus crop will cost more thun it will bring." The plan of check ing cotton has been popular wherever fairly tried. It can bc cultivated with less labor and tho yield is generally greater than when planted in drills. The largest crop ever grown, five bales per acre, was made by Mr. Wartheu, of Barnwell County, on checked cotton. If enough seed are dropped in the check there will be uo difficulty :n securing good statids. A good ploughman can cultivate carefully checked cotton with out calling in the help of the hoe hand.

A PHYSICIAN'S TESTIMONY.-I was call ed to sec Mr. John Pearson, who was con fined to his bed with what uppeared to be consumption of the worst form. As all of his family had died with that il .-ead disease (except his half brother), his death was re garded as certain and soon. After exhaust ing all the remedies, I tirally, as a last re sort, sent for a bottle of Brewer's Lung Re storer, and it acted like magic. He contin ued tlie use of it for some time and has been fully restored to health. So far as I could discover, he had consumption, und Brewer's Lung Restorer saved h?a life. J. O. HOLLOWAY; M.

Mr. Charlea Eden, of Trinidad, Colorado, says : Seeing certificates of the wonderful cures made by Brewer's Lung Restorer, I was induced to try it on my little non, who was troubled with lung or throat affection, pronounced by one physician consumption. It acted wonderfully on him. and by the time lie had taken one bottle of it the cough disappeared. I am now on a visit to my parents in Georgia, but will return in a few days to my home and will take some of the Lung Restorer with me. 36 ANNOUNCEMENTS. For Sheriff. The friendi of JAMES H.
