that tb? act of Fe brasr j, 1862. forbid die g Amer?

LONDON, Joly 23.-There was a full at (en?
os nc s of members and spectators in the Bouse
of Commons this evening. Wnen Mr. Glad?
stone arose to speak he .was greeted with great
cheering. Under a heavy-sense of the respon?
sibility, but with profound satisfaction, he
moved that the House agree to the amend?
ments inserted yesterday without exception or
lodbrration. He called attention to the exci?
sion from the preamble ot the words, specify?
ing the appropriation of the surplus, but as the
point was better indicated in the bill, he thought
it would be invidious and unnecessary to
require a theoretical and sb3tracc declara
" ti on in the preamble. The reinsertion of
the date of 1871 waa not a token of victory, but
an indication of the Joint and harmonious
working of the Houses. He reviewed the otner
amendments wbiob had been met with objec?
tions, and said the substance of the govern?
ment proposals bad remained virtually unal?
tered. He asked the House to discard every
word that might have been uttered tending to
embitter tba question, and he apologized for
any warmth of feeling he might have shown.
He congratulated, the House on the satisfactory
settlement which had been arrived at, and
praised the ability and moderation with whkh
debates have been conducted by Bari Granville
and Bord Cairn es. He hoped the diseetablish
ei Church would develo pe in her qualities by
which her great career would be marked out
for her, and that God would speed her on ber
newcareer. ,
Sir Bounden Palmer, member for Bichmond,
approved the course which had be? taken. Ic
waa honorable and fair to both sides. The
point agreed upon waa one which all must ac?
cept. In ease of au adverse decision we must
bow to the superior1 force of those who control
events, and when that time comes it ia folly to
refuse to see and acknowledge tbe fact. He
thought the compromise waa substantially a
cqheeeaion to the church, and a settlement ar?
rived at whieh was satisfactory and statesman?
like. ~ ...
He concluded bis speech with a compliment
to Mr. Gladstone on the tone and temper of
tbe debate.
Bight Hon. Mr. Disraeli said that when the
difference between the Houses was only s mat?
ter of detail, he felt that delay in the settle?
ment was only a doubtful advantage, sud ?
might result io disasters and difficulties of no
inconsiderable kind. Compromise waa not un?
conditional surrender.
The most essential points in the amend?
ments bad been assented to, and be thought
the House and the country would deem the
compromise fair and just. Ha hoped thal the
present would be the last occasion when voht .
ioal eire am stan oe would be dealt with by ao
stract principles. We had been on the eve of
a collision, occasioned by a mw understanding
between the two Houses, at a time when each
had deported itself in a manner to show the
possession of the confidence and satisfaction of
the country. Surely aU would bail with satis?
faction and ratify with pleasure.
After the conclusion of Mr. Disraeli's speech,'
the amendments were agreed to without divi?
sion. The result was received with great
cheering.
mSTOBT OF THE COMPROMIS E.
The compromise was the result of fear on
abc part ot the Peers of the consequences
threatened by a collision ot the two Houses of
Parliament. Last night the Tory Lords held a
large meeting at a private residence, and re?
solved to repudiate the Marquis of Sa:ihbury,
and put themselves auder tbe leadership of
Lard Cairns, and the latter was authorized to
malu peace with the ministry,nod express tte
willingness of the Peers to yield. To-day
Cairns sought an interview with Earl Granville
and gave in the submission of the Peers,
when upon the Cabinet agreed to the compro*
.mise an no un oed to-nigbt. The prompt and
lpod expression of popular indignation terri?
fied the Lords, and thus bas been postponed
for a while the threatened agitation.

A serious and bloody riot occurred in Barn?
well County on Thursday last, growing ont ol j
the election for township officials, held on that !
day. The scene of the affair was at a place
near the banks of tbe Savannah River, known
as the Upper Three Buns, distant about twen?
ty-fire miles from Augusta, The following ire
the main facta, as given in the Augusta Chron?
icle and Sentine
TEX SLXCTTON.
The township waa of course inhabited by two
parties, Radicals and Democrats, and each fac?
tion had its candid ?tea in the field. The prin?
cipal officer to bs elected was a township clerk,
and for this position the D?mocrate were run?
ning a very respectable gentleman named John
8. Green, while tbe candidate of tbe negroes
was a man named Pickena Woodward, the son
of a well-to-do merchant, who, we understand,
had always stood well in the county, bnt who.
being very popular with tb? negroes. Buffered
his name to be used on the Radical ticket. The
election took place on Thursday morning, and
was held at Nat. Greene's atore. 0/ coarse, as
the negroes bad a large numerical majority,
they carried the township and elected their
candidato, while Greene was defeated. There
were present at the election, besides other
white men, the Democratic candidate, John
Greene, his son. Frank Greene, his son-in-law,
John Holland, James Tyler, Wyatt Tyler, and
three or four others of the same name. Pic sena
Woodward, the Radical candidate, A. P. Wood?
ward, hie brocher, and W. J. Woodward, his
father.
HOW THE WOT COMMENCED.
After the election was over, and it was known
what party bad been snocdssiul, a crowd ol the
white men were standiug around tue store dis?
cussing it, in wbich crowd were the parties
above mention. At length one of tbe Ty lei s,
an ardent Democrat, remarked, that while he
hate.? very badly his party's being defeated by
the negroes, still be attached no blame to tbe
latter for what they bad done, bnt the m m he
did blame were the "d-d white scalawags
who ran on tho negto ticket." At thu remark
A. P. Woodward stepped np o the speaker and
said that his brother's name was on that ticket;
that he was no scalawag, and Tyler must with?
draw the offensive epithet. The latter declined
to make (he required retraction aud an alter?
cation between the parties ensued, while their
respective friends gathered around.
THE MELEE COMMENCES.
While the quarrel was progressing botween
Tyler and A.P. Woodward, but before blows
had passed, the Radical candidate stepped
into the crowd with a drawn te volver in bis
band to tase his brother's part. As soon as
this was observed, John Greene, tbe D.mo
eratic candidate, fell upon Wood .-."id and
knocked the pistol from bis band. Almost at
the same instant A. p. Woodward turned from
Trier, drew bis revolver and shot John Greene,
killing bim almost instantly. Here John Hol?
land drew his pistol io defend his father-in
law, bnt before he coaid fire, Woodward shot
him, inflicting a mortal wound.
A SCENE OF CABNAGE.
The melee here became general, and it is im?
possible to give any detailed description. The
negroes retreated from the precinct, as soon as
the firing commenced, aud lue field waa lett to
the Tylers, Hollauiis. Greenes and Wood war de.
As fast as the combatants emptied their ws
tols, tho useless weapons were thrown aside
and the knife was drawn and tree y used by
both parties, tye learn that as Johu Mol?an i
lay dying ou the ground, with the balls whist?
ling around bim, and the parties deiling mur?
derous stabs over him, be managed to COCK
sod aim bia revolver, aol soot A. P. Wood
wood twice, one of the balls penetrating his
back, the other taking effect in hu kidue.vs.
the latter wound, it is believed, being mortal.
Frank Greene was also shit aud severely
wounded and blabbed with akjife. J*mos Ty?
ler, Wyatt Tylor and two vt turee ot uer?, were
badly subbed, but none of their wounds will
prove mortal. Tiius olosed this terrible com
bat, in whioh one mau was k?ied outrigur, two
others mor ally wounded (one of whom nas
since died,) in which every mau eng J te a was,
we believe, more or less seriously wounded,
and which will carry mourning aod desolation
into so many families.

THE AWARD OF THE BLUE RIDGE
RAILROAD CONTRACT.
What tbe Executive Committee Hare to
r-ay on tile Subject.
TO 1 HE EDITOR OP THE S EWS.
lu THE DALLY NEWS of tbe 17th instant ap?
peared a letter from Columbia, containing what
pu -ported to be a statement derived from
"first rate sources,* of tbe circumstances at?
tending the recent letting of the work on the
Eine Ridge Railroad, and also of the amounts
of tbe various proDosals, and tbe puces at
which eriswell ft Co. obtained the award of
the contract.
Tbe writer, ''Lux," bas Callen into a few errors
of fact and figures, and tbat the public may
be fully informed upon the matter, the follow?
ing corrections of his statements are made
from the official records of the proceedings of
the Executive Committee:
The lowest bid received under the advertise?
ment was $7 252 099 M; the highest ?0,166,
056 94. The other bids were intermediate be?
tween these extremes-that of eriswell ft Co.
being $9,GOO 527 4?. The Executive Commit?
tee having decided to reject all these propo?
sals under tbe terms of the advertisement, all
the bidders were invited to a conference wi tb
the committee, and were advised of the action
taken upon the bids, and made acquainted
with the reasons therefor.
At this conference were present all tbe bid?
ders save one. All were permitted to snbmit
new proposals upon the nev basis laid down
by the committee. Under this arrangement four
proposals were received and considered by the
committee, of which the highest amounted to
$9 883,426 -63, and the lowest to 48 707.651 61.
The party who made the proposai nuder the
advertisement or $7 590,000 in which "Lux"
seems to take a peculiar interest, now put his
proposal at $9 000 OOO.
Some advantages were offered in the details
ofthenegotiaii'msby tbe highest bidders, (eris?
well ft Co.,) which led the committee to pursue
negotiations with them; an t the proposition
having been submitted to them that thor
should reduce their bid below the lowest, viz..
to $8,700.000, and they having acceded to this,
tbe company still having the benefit of the ad?
vantages of detail heretofore mentioned, the
award was made to them as the lowest and
best bidders.
That thore is room for honest difference
of opinion as to the expediency of the
policy punned by the committee in the
rejection of all the original proposals, is
not denied. It is also possible tbat they
erred in preferring tbe proposal of M eas rs
eriswell ft Co., as more advintageons to the
company than those of the other bidders.
The committee, however, feel that they can
abundantly jusiify the soundness of their
judgment on those points to the Board of Di?
rectors, and to the public.
Bat the point now made is tbat the letting
was perfectly fair and open, conduoted accord?
ing to usage, and tbat the committee not only
had the, right, bnt it was then: duty, to con?
sider all collateral advantages offered to the
company by the bidders, as well as tbe prices
affixed to the different items of work.
The work was finally awarded to eriswell ft
Co. at $8 700,000. or #7651 61 below the low?
est bid from other parties, and the commit?
tee fail to see that in making that award they
have betrayed the trust reposed in them.
The statement of ' Lui" "that there was
other bi is aa responsible iu every way at
$8,000,000 and less, but the $9.000,000 bid was
accepted, is wholly erroneous.
Under the caption of "the price of the
work," "Lux" gives the prices of eriswell'*
bid as compared with other proposals. He
does not say in so many words that tam are
the pnces at which tho work waa awarded,
bnt he certainly would have the public in'er
that these are tbe prices.
Now these prices coincido nearly with those
of Criewen ft Co. 'a first bid, bnt this bid was
rejected with all others, as bas been herein?
before stated, and the work was awarded to
them at a reduction in total amount of $900,000
below that first proposed, and of course at a
corresponding reduction in prices for materials
and work. The Executive Committee have
accepted the bid that they believe (o be the
most judicious and advantageous to the com?
pany, if earned out m Rood faith by the cont?
ractors.
If wrong, or error has been committed, let
the responsibility rast on tho members of the
committee present. The undersigned will
bear their part. J. W. H ORISON,
President and ei-o?cio member of Executive
Committee.

It is openly stated in Florida that one Gene?

party who mutilated the Railroad bill, or caus?
ed it to bi done. The same individual is Batd
to have been presented by a North Carolina
grand jury for perjury, ibo Quiiman Banner
has Borne remarks showing tho extended sys
tem of unblushing rascality that prevails in
the Executive and Legislative departments of
our s ister State. It says :
Tbe rascality of officuls in Florida is unpar?
alleled. A number of Yaukoo adventurers,
with headquarters at Jacksonville, h < ve formed
a "ring" tor the robbery of tho State on a
mammoth scale. Recen, ly they couceived the
i .'ea ot procuring uu appropriation of three
millions or moro of Slate bonds for the ostensi?
ble construction of a railroid from the Chat?
tahoochee River to the waters of Esc mbiaB.tv;
and it is said the Governor was paid eight thou?
sand dollars to induce bim to convene an ex ra
session ot the Legislature, so that a bill mtgut
be iii traduced and passed, making the required
appropiiitioo. Upon the assembling o. the
L gtsluluro. the 'Tins" proceeded to the work
ot bribing the members in tbe most scientific
sud unblushing wanner. Nen York dra.ts

recipients boldly offered them for sale on thu
streets of Tallahassee. When the pockets of
the " truly loti" legislators wore bofltaenliy
filled, tbe necessary bill was passed nnil
promptly approved by the Governor.
Some of ns provisions, however, were ob?
noxious to the ' nug," and to remedy the evil,
the most outrageous fraud ever committed was
re-sorted to. Previous to the pub icu iou of tho
law, tbe "ring" eau ed the officials of that
State-by what mema is btBt known to them -
to mutilate, actually erase such clauses as ?ere
objcct.onaole clauses that, in a measure, in?
terfered with the high-handed robbery of the
people. This fraud, of com se. was promptly
discovered and at the instance of two promi?
nent citizens of Tallahassee, an injune.ion was :
served upon the Governor, restraining him
from the issuing of the suiboru!3d bends.

AFFAIRS IN THU STATU.
Kerahaw, Richland ?nd Orangeburg.
From these counties we have reports that
several refreshing showers have cheered the
drooping corn and the fanners' spirits, during
the past week.
Chesterfield.
The Cheraw Democrat says : "The six weeks
drought may bo said to be over. Yesterday
we bad quite a pleasant shower, falling gently
and steaddy for some time. Though there
was not as much rain as we would like to have,
it will be of immense service. A great deal of
the corn is past recovery; bnt the young crop
trill be benefitted and the cotton saved in a
good measure."
Hugh Craig, Jr., for many years the oopular
and efficient clerk of the court for Ches ter field,
died last week.
Georgetown.
The Times says : 'The past week bas been
but a repetition of the week before, the ther?
mometer seldom ranging lower thai 90 de?
grees, and frequently several notches beyond.
We bave had several attempts to rain, which
have been generally ineffectual. On Tuesday
we received a grateful shower-the best we
have had for* month past-wbicb, although
not profuse enough, has tended to cool the at?
mosphere, and will doubtless do something
towards resuscitating such vegetation aa may
not be beyond hope. From present appear?
ances, we hope for a repetition of showers."
Laurens.
The Lasrensville Herald says: "Since our
last issue, splendid showers have blessed
varions sections of the district-our own
particularly. The crops are reviving and
looking bu >yant. In many places they were
suffern'g badly and wera seno us ly injured by
the drouth. We hope by this, every nook and
corner of the land has been made to put ou a
smiling look by visitations of generous show?
ers."
The same paper says: "In the fall of 1867,
Bob Yoong (negro) shot and killed, at Clin?
ton, in tbis county, a negro by the name of
George Dial. It was a most unprovoked and
fiendish murder. Bob Young was a great Radi?
cal light and orator. He made bis escape, and
sometime this year was arrested and commit?
ted to the jail ot Cabanas County, N. C. Ic is
rumored here tbat Y mn g is no wat large-that
Governor Holden informed thr Governor of
'our sute' and oar people-to wit. R. K. Scott
-and Governor Scott de lined to make a r??
quisition for Young, an i therefore, the murde?
rer is turned loose on the good people of tbe
Old North State. Can these things be true?" >
York.
The Yorkv?le Enquirer says : "Another week
has passed away without bringing those re?
freshing rains which the suffering crops need
BO much. A lew light showers bave rallen in
vari <ua parts of the county, but none, so lar
as we have been able to learn, heavy enough
to lay the dust. Anxiety about the crops is
beginning to prevail extensively. Tbe corn
crop has certainly been a good deal shortened
by the drought. Cotton has not yet been in?
jured to any great extent, and looks as if it
might stand it awhile longer. Gardens and
track patches are pretty thoroughly used np.
The weather is intensely hot, with a preva?
lence of warm, dry winds, which are anything
but exhilarating."
The same paper has the following : "Those of
onr readers who think the addition of seventy
five per sent, to then- assessment, under or?
ders from tbe Board of Equalisation, unjust,
have a remedy, if they choose to use it. Ap?
plications made to the State snditor, through
the County Auditor, will be received, and if the
applicant can make it appear to the satisfac?
tion of these officers that hi ? property was re?
turned at its full value, the additional assess?
ment will be taken off. Bat unless this condi?
tion is shown te exist, it will of course be use?
less to apply to Columbia for a release from
the seventy-five per cent, increase of valuation.
Parties bore bave tried this plan and have suc?
ceeded iu getting off, with various degrees of
success. Some had all their additional tax re?
moved, and others part of it, each case being
decided on its own supposed menta."
Barnwell.
Tbe Journal says : "The aspect of things in
tbs way of corn and cotton is distressing in?
deed. The corn is scorched np, and even
with most favorable seasons in future, will not
re ach half a crop. The cotton is casting off
its forms by the thousand, and the yield will
be far below the average."
The Sentinel says : "We reported the fact
last week of the homicide of a negro man near
this place, whose name we have learned was
Blake Col y. we also stated that his wife was
at the same time shot down and dangerously
wounded. The report of ber havii? been shot
was true; but not so the fact of her dangerous
condition, as she is now again going about.
An inquest was hald on Thursday last over the
dead body at Coloy's house, and six white and
six colored men composed tbe Jury-magis?
trate Graham acting as coroner. The evidence
of the wounded won? m and of her son, a lad
some thirteen years of age, charged four white
man of the vicinity with having committed
the deed. The friends of the accused brought
forward evidence to prove ahbie. On the last
and final sitting of the jury-the acting coro?
ner having adjourned from day to day-the
jory failed to agree apon a verdict. 1 he coro?
ner drew np a report to that effect, which was
signed' by the six white jurors. The colored
jurors refused to sign the report, and the jury
were accordingly discharged. The colored
people, although much excited by the homi?
cide, have behaved iu a very quiet and orderly
way. There is a mystery banging over the
whole proceeding, and it mast be remarked
that there was much discrepancy between the
evidence of Coley's wife and that of her son.
The whole affair is a most lamentable occur?
rence, and so far unaccountable."
Abbeville.
Tbe Banner says : "Abbeville District has
never boen more exempt from sickness than
during the present summer. The doctors pro?
nounce the country alarmingly healthy. The
continued drought his greatly damaged tho
early corn. Recen, showers, though very par?
tial, inspire some hope that the crop will not
prove a total failure. Oar gardens have been
almost totally destroyed. The cotton crop is
very small. The production mu-t necessarily
be light Pnces must rule high in the fall.
Dealers seem to understand the matter. A
gent oman informed us that be had been offer?
ed twenty-five cents a pound for the whole of
his incoming crop."
The BJ nner gives the folio wi og account of a
circumstance which occurred at Abbeville
Court Bonsai, which has been magnified and
distorted bv Huge and other Ridicala in the
h >pe of injuring the people of the county :
"Ou Saturday last, abour a doz JU young mon
who had been arrested under a warrant issued
by Guffin as a magistrate, came to this village
in obedience to a summons to make their ap
pearanae at court. OJ their anivai they as?
certained that no court was in session, and
that G flin bad no riirht to iasuo tho warrant
for their arrest. They acording'y demanded
and received their bonds. While in thc vjciu
ity of Guffin'd office a negro acted very inso
1 ?nth towards ono of tho yoong men. who be
cime so exasperated that bc tbroatened to
shoot tho fellow. This led to the assembling
of a good many negroes, with tho constabu?
lary force. Excitement ran very high, and,
lor a time, a collidion seemed inevitable. Out
ibo Kev. Ocavius orcher for whom thc young
men referred to cherished a profound regard
interpose! very opportunely, and prevailed
upon them to refrain ft om any acts of violence
and to return home."
