Tho meeting of tho State Prcas Associ ation closed a most pleasant and harmo nious se&ion at Greenville laut week. Col. T. B. Crews, of tho Laurensville Herald, who haa held tho position of president by successive elcctious for six years, positively declined to do furthor service, and Maj. M. li. McSweeny, of tho Hampton Guardian, was unanimous ly elected to succeed bim. The follow ing arc the other officers elected t Vice president, T. H. Clarke, of the Camden Journal, and C. W. Petty, of tho Carolina ??parlan] Chaplain, The Rev. t?idl Ii. Brown, of the Christian Neighbor ; Re cording Secretary, J. B. Bonnor, cf tho Associate Reformed Ihresbytcrian; Cor responding Secretary, J. S. Perrin, of tho Abbeville Momnger ; Treasurer, Maj. Fr. Molchen?, of the Charleston Zeitung ; Orator for the next meeting, Col. Jno. W. R. Popo, o? tho Coluuibte Register ; Alternate, Capt. M. L. Bonham, of the Abbeville Messenger. Tho visiting Jour nalists were most handsomely entertained by tho hospitable citizens of Greenville, and speak in tho most extravagant man- j ne* 6T the pleasures of their visit. We ? regret that tho INTELMOENCBH could not be represented on the enjoyable oc casion. Wc aro glad to notice that a corres pondent of the News and Courier is writing a ?erica of articles on our Circuit Courts, in which ho calls attention to tho obstruction to business in tbe Courts of1 Common Pleas, the principal causo of which he thinks is tho timo generally occupied by the Courts of General Session' and the uncertainty as to the time vb. the Courts of Common Pleas will opon. He montions several ways by which he thinks the business of the Courts could be expedited. Such as a law fixing a day certain when the busi of the Courts of Genera! Sessions must close, curtailing tho time allowed counsol for argument, or to leavo the matter of time entirely in tho discretion of the Judge, and dispensing with unan imous verdicts of juries. Tho writer is evidently one of our Circuit Judges, as he is conversant with tho nature and amount of tho business of tho Courts in all the Circuito in the State. That some action .la needed on tho part of our law makers to remedy the evils that now exists is certain, but what action will best effect the desired object is not so certain. We hope that the matter will receive that attention from our Judges and our Legislators which it deserves. We have heard suggested as a remedy for the evil an increoso of Circuit Judges, but fall to see how thia would at all mako more certain the day when the Court of General Sessions will open. A system of County Courts has also been suggested, and to thia ?mo constitutional objections have been raised. We hope that something will bo dono to give the desired relief. THAT CHARGE OF WmTEW'Asn??TS. The ANDERSON INTELLIGENCER de clares that there was no whitewashing when ?lae terrible revelations of the treat ment of convicts on Augusta and Knox ville Railroad were made in 1870. To saBtalo ita declaration the report of the legislative committee appointed to in vestigate that affair is printed. It is too long to reproduce here, but we have ex amined it with some care.' and if it is bot a clear and perfect whitewashing we havo never seen one. Its general con clusions aro that if anybody is to blame for a death rate of over twenty-five nor cent, it was T. W. Parmele, the Super intendent of the penitentiary wLu held over from the radical reign, and that it was not dear that even he was in fault. The editor of this newspaper knows something bf tho matter as he bad occasion to writo a long^eport of lt with dates, details and names of witnesses^ . ready to the hand of anybody who chose to nae them. There -was murder in a variety of ways : In the stifling stock ades, ia the heavy work and insuuicicnt and Improper food and with bullet, bludgeon, whh> aad gun stock. Yet the committee, after a report exempting everybody but Parmelo from blame, coolly Bays: ''xho committee ? commend that it be referred to the Attorney General for such ncUon aa he may deem proper on .behalf of tha State. Aoy^cithan of the State ^JwUl'also'hav.o, the right to institute a : !.. : wKts?cuUon lb. aoV caso in which he may ; ; Ibel that tho law hos l?en violated." Wo do ?pt know if the matter was re ferred io th? Attorney General. We never heard that he did anything or that, any eoe hf the committee, chosen to rep resent ? the law and the State in this special matter, ever thought it worin while to take action iu his capacity as "any citizen" to have the subject veritl lated and Investigated. Tho whole thing was covered with whitewash an inoh deep and dropped like a hot potato.

The Ilouse of Representatives of our ?leter State, Georgia, last Friday passed a general local option whiskey law, by a vote of 111 to 22. The Hill, as passed tho House, provides that in any County, riot already having Prohibition in some form or other, there may be an election every two years until whiskey is run out, and that wheu il is once out it is out to slay. There was considerable discussion on tba Kill, and the samo arguments used against it that we ofteu hear in our State, yet the people of Georgia through her Representatives iu the House Imvc spoken, and in no uncertain words, that tho whiskey traffic must be suppressed. Tho Bill was ordered neal to tho Senate | where it will doubtless pass. We are glad to seo our sister State I take such a bold stand for tho causo of Temperance, abd hope that the day is not distant when South Carolina will fellow tho example. Her citizens now and then speak out in no unmistakable terms in favor of Prohibition. Tho friends of Temperance in Andereon County only await tho opportunity to make a bold fight against whiskey, and by their votes to say that they are unwilling for the whiskey traine to be carried on in this County. When tho issue comes, as como it must, they can not fail, for the fight ii in tho interest of morality and prosperity, of manhood and tho youth of our land, and of tho vivo and mothers of all our citizens. Thus, let the issuo como as soon as prac ticable. Chewing Tobacco In Church? Mit. EDITOR: Inoverknow that man was the nastiest thing on earth which God created until a fow days nineo. Man undoubtedly is tho nastiest of all nasties known to woman, at least ; and yet some men, in somo places, aro very nico at thaw*. WheU he is visiting your bouse he will, of course, lake off bis hat at the door, and tako his cood of tobacco out of his month, throw it away and walk into the parlor with such a smile upon his countenancu that you at onco pronounce bim a nice gentleman. And so he is and would be so long as ho romaiued in your house. Ho would not think of taking a chow of tobacco or smoking while ho re mains. Ho has too much respect for yon ; he would not think of such a thing for a moment. Why ? Because ho has no desiro to insult you, and for many rea sons not necessary to mention. Now, if man can bo and is sunh a nico being at your house, why is it that be will so unceremoniously abnse a house that belongs to all who C1K.OSO to visit it -that is, tho Church. When I see a Church stalnod with puddles of tobacco joice I feel ashamed of my fellow-men. If a man would think only once where he was-not only in the house of God, but in the presence of tho very ladies whose duty it is to bee after the cleanll I ness of tho Church 1 Did I say it was j the duty of tho ladies to sou after the Church? Whether it is their duty or not they have to do it in self-defence. If the ladies were to stay away from Church one year, I don't believe the men could get out of the building with decent clothes. If they had to wear a lady's dress I am suro they could not. Now, I havo saw lately pools of to bacco juice'almost deep enough to drown a yearling duck-in tho Church, in God's joueo. I havo seen a lady's white dress so badly smearod that she had to pin a handkerchief on her drer * to hide the dirty stain from the view of these tobacco factories who are walting outside, ready to make a remark about the unfortunate one. , If I were to mako tho assertion that no gentleman would chow and spit on my floor, everybody would say that I was correct. If I wore to throw him out for spitting upon my furniture you would say I served him right. Suppose I wore to say that any mas who would chev tobacco and spit upon tho floor, of a Church waa no gentleman, what would you say ? Nov, if you have no respect for God and His bouse, do baye enough for the ladies not to spit upon the floor. Remember this next Sabbath when you enter God's house, that when you spit upon tho Church you spit upon God. , WHIZ. -r-j , .< . Artificial Limbs. t - The Columbia correspondent of the -/Vc if j and 'Cbyntr says : At tho Comptroller General's office to day I made inquiry as to tho disposition of the appropriation of $9,000 made by tho Legiilature at its last session for giv ing tho ' valuo" of the appropriate arti ficial Jimba to soldiers of the State who had lost legs or arras in the war. It will be remembered that this was the last of st series of appropriations toward the same end. At first artificial limbs were bought and supplied by the State, but they proved worthless. Subsequently, the terms of the annual appropriations were BO changed that the value of the limbs was given to thew who. proved their claims to them, and those who had received worthless appliances wore allow* , ed to draw their proportion bf ibo money Mi if they had not been originally sup plied; Tho neale on which tho fragmenta aro maoTo la this : For the loss of an arm below tho elbow, $40; above the elbow: $60.

ATI.AKTA, GA., July 17.-The darin? theft of thu nay car of the Richmond and Danville Railroad from the passen ger depot in this city, for a moment hauled the skill of the police officers, but the shrewdest ones among them bad no hesitancy in singling out Charlie Rose, An ex-yardmaster of the road, as the leader of the desperadoes. They at once begun acting upon this suspicion, evi dently under Information received from i'aymaster Grosor, and before night tbe circumstances brought together left no doubt aa to Rose's guilt. At midnight, before the truiu was stolen, Charlie Rose, with five companions, was seen near tho ftlolcn engine. When Paymaster Groser awoke und found lu,- car in motion, be put his head out of tho window and called out: "Where arc you going?" "You arc the mau we want, d-n you, was the response, as four shots were fired in the direction of the affrighted pay master. "I know you, Charlie Rose," replied Grosor, as be realized that he was in tho hands of thioves. For threa years Groser had carried the name of Rose on biri payroll, taking his receipt every month, so tboro could bo no mistake in bis identification. Tho police at once fell upon tho trail of the desperado and his companions who were fleeing through tito countrv behind .Stone Mountain toward Gw'unett, whero Rose formerly lived, and the news of bis arrest is mo mentarily expected. Nolan, whoso arrest hos been previously noted, was a companion of Charlie Rose. A notable arrest was that of David FoBsett, a dis charged colored employee of the Rich mond and Danville Road, which was mcdo during the day. In his pocket was found the miking switch key, with which tho switcli was thrown open to allow tho engine to run hu .-ir to the pay car. The story cf Charlie Rose is one of j strauge tragic iutere*t. One year ago he lived in Atluuta with his wife Jennio, aud his cousin, Nancy Frazer. The shocking story of tho murder of bis wife, of the implication in that crime of Nancy Frazer and Clara Sufjgs, of the death of j Nancy aftor giving birth to a child with a scar occupying the placo of one eye, and tho rapid downfall and final miser able death of Clara, is familiar to the readprs of the News and Courier. Char lie Rose, grown insolent Mince tho death of the two witnesses against him, returned tu tho city and has lived the lifo of a vagabond. He waa discarded by the Rieb moud and Danville Compa ny, and this led bim Into a formation of tho conspiracy to steal the pay car on ita next arrival in tho city. His com panions, nil of whom are now located by the police, aro discharged employees of j the samo road. Roso is a graceless, hap fiy-go-lucky scamp, confident in the be lei that bc can, for tho secoud time, defy tho law. The officers came closo upon Oharlio ROBO thia morniug in Gwinnett County, but he again oluded them. That Stroke of" Lightning. Mr. E. C. Scheaffar, who was struck by lightning on the 26th ult., ia now able to be at work and has moved his shoo shop to the room over tho brick stable in rear of Dr. Brown's drug store, known aa "Earle'a" stables. We called at his shop on Monday last and he gave ii? the following account of tho stroke : '_io stated that on the evening of the storm he wont to the door and looked out and saw very angry looking clouds overhead, with lightning flashingIn every direction ; he closed tue door and waa standing in tho floor leaning on a chair, whon he received a shock that turned him completely around and be fell to the floor. It was all done so quickly he could not perceive that the lightning had struck the rear end of bis shop, torn a hole through tho wall, entered and given him a shaking up. He again got on his fcot and examined tho wreck of bis shop, and looked out and saw where the light ning had torn up a tree in front. He wont to "Earle'a" stablea aud told -hie story, wbch Mr. Dick Richardson and others accompanied him back to see where the lightning had struck the building. The room seemed to have a sulphurous amell. AU of thia timo be did not know he waa injured, but only folt a littlo dazed Soon after, however, his feet began to swell and Mr. Roso carried him home in c. buggy, as bo could not wear his shoes on account of the swelling. After his arrival homo, he examined his feet, which were paining him very much and found a hole in each heel. He sent for Doctor R. H. Rutledge, who arrived the next morning and dressed the wounda. Ho pulled ott his ahces and showed us the wounda in the bottom of bia beela, which are not faat curing up. Ho stated that they were ragged at the edge as if mado by the exit ola bullet, the size of one's little finger. They were not probed, therefore be did not know bow deep they extended. Water and blood oozed from the wound for about ten days. Ho also chowed us the shoes he wore on the occasion. In the heel of each shoe waa an indenture as if made by a bullet. One of the aldea of one of the ahoe solea waa torn off and the other was torn on the upper where lt connecta with tbe sole. Mr. Scheaffar also stated there waa no mark or scar on bis person except those mentioned and a small hart on one of his toes at the bottom. He ia now about well, having only a slight dizziness in his head. He resides three miles from the city on the Laurens road, and has been working in thia city for aoveral years. Dr. Rutledge's statement of the affair corroborates that of Mr. Scheaffar, and the Doctor says he cannot account for the lightning entering the man's body without breaking tho skin, as it evidently did from tho cooks of the rugged wounda made at the bottom of tho heels, which resembled those made by the exit of a bullet-- Greenville Enterprise and Moun taineer.
