As a lawyer, he is able, learned, and unusu?

him particularly for a judicial position, which
I do not doubt he would fill with credit to him?

This, unhappily for afr. Sherman, is not the
last of it. A business circular is sent with the
letter and list of references, in which Henry
Sherman, counsellor at law, describes the
floes of claims oognia?ble before tho depart?

There oannol be'plainer English than this.
The Banal individual who proposes to Bell
stolen property to our fellow-townsman, offers
to compromise with the department's prosecu?
tions for violation of customs and reveaua
laws. Hush-money, it seems, will do any?
thing. What wonder, then, that there is a whis?
key ring which laughs' the government to
aoorn? Certain lt ls that thia namesake of the
great house-burner would not make thia little
proposition if he was not sure by experience
that the "department h?re" waa in the market

Pian to Charleston, and. Bags Him.
On the night of tko 161 li of August tho Ex?
pr?s* safo of Ibo meaaougef on tile Laurons
Railroad was taken out of tbe depot at Lau?
rens ville and robbod of $1800.
TEE OBUallfBK'S FIRST APPEARANCE.
About five days' otter tbe robbery, tbo route
agent of tbo Express Company oalled on Ofli
oer B. J. Coates, of tbe Charleston detective
force, gavo bim tho "points" and requested
bim to "work up" tbe case. Officer Coates
consented, and a day or two after tbe inter?
view with tho agent, bo, under au assumed
name, waa in Laurousviile, soliciting orders
from tho m ore han ts for a Baltimore boute.
He'threw himseltin tbe way of the express
messenger, Poler H. Booti, and marie "himself
very agreeable. But beforo proceeding to tell
how Officer Coates gained tho confidence of ]
hie friend, we will relato'of
SCOTT'S MOVEMENTS.
On Saturday, tho 14th of August, Scott re?
ceived a package containing $289 68, which was
to be delivered at Martin's Depot. In this
package woro throe fifty dollar nolta. Ho did
not delivor tho package, nor did hoentorit
upon his book. On Monday ho went to Mr.
Milos, a merchant, at Laurousviile, who was
making preparations to visit New York, and
asked him if ho desired nay largo money. Mr.
Miles replied tiflt* was oxuetly what he
wanted. Soot, thon wont off, remained away?
about tbreo hours, and returned with'two fifty1
dullar uotos, ga.ro thom to Mr. Miles and re?
ceived small notes in roturo. From there he
wout to a barroom and took a drink. Is> pay
inc for it, ho accidentally oxposod a fitly dol?
lar noto.
Monday aftoraoon, ? package containing
$1800 was handed to bim to sand off. Ho de?
posited it in bis safo; and placed tho safe in tho
railroad depot, tho. dour of which was after?
ward locked. That night, about niuo o'clock,
a friond of his mot him going toward tho de?
pot, and asked him whore bo was going. Boott
replied that ho bad a pressing engagement,
bur would return in a fow minutes, and asked
tho friond to wait for him. The friend waited
lor him until his patience was oxhaustod and
then went home.
THE BOODEUY.
Early Tuesday morning, tho express safo
was found abont ono hundred yards from the
depot, open, and tho late contents gone. A
thorough invcallgatiou of tho locks of tho
safe and tho depot door showed that thoy had
boon oponed with hoya, there hoing no mark
whatever to create even a suspicion that tho
locks had bcon picked or tho Holts forced back.
CONFIDKNTIAL CONVERSATIONS.
*Vi th all of tho above mentioned facts Officer
Coates became acquainted a fow hours after
his arrival. He thou proceeded to "drum" a
littlo, and also to'improve bis acquaintance
with Scott,. After many a look at otoh othor
tLrouffii tho bottom of tumblers and bottles,
and after several "little games," they became
very confidential, and Officer Coates asked
abont tho robbery aa any stranger would do.
Scott said ho was aware that he was suspi?
cioned, but bo could peeve his ionooenoe if he
was over charged with tho robbery; ho know* |
who committed the crime; it was a white man,
but ho couldn't provo it except by -negro testi?
mony, and ho "didn't Uko to have a white man
cou vic ted by negro evidence. Ho asked Officer
Coates what he would do nuder similar cir?
cumstances, to which he replied that he
thought a man was Justified In doing almost
anything to freo himself from .unjust suspi?
cion. After Officer Coates' opinion bad been,
asked a o ve ral times, he-told Scott that he had
taken snob, un interest tn h im" thai he would
nogleot bia business and go with him. to tho
Express agent at Columbia, wb'ero mattem
could be oxplained and he be relieved from
suspicion. ^
. THE AB REST.
Scott arter some littlo demurring consented,
aha soon after, they wera in Colombia. As soon
as they arrived there, Officer Coates suggest?
ed that lt would be better to see th? agent at
Charleston first. Scott thought'that a,good I
idea, and on Saturday night?>? d??ee'-ive zliaz
drummer was at headquarters, and Scott, io
bsd at tho Charleston Hotel. His movements
were oloaoly observed, but he did not once
m'^^^ii^l^ arrested* by
Officer Levy (who marlo tai, ??-rfigt by request
of Officer Coates,) and carried to the dot cc ti ve
office, bo was accosted by his late confidential
friend.
Scott La about six. fee t'two {nobes in height,
rather ungainly and ve ry slovenly In his dross.
He states that he is from Petersburg, Va., and
still asserts that he oan prove hts innocence.
There is a great deal cf circcsslantUl evi?
dence against the Moused, and bia arrest,
even if he establish bia innocence, was cer?
tainly warranted. Officer Coates deserves great
credit for tbe skill and patience he ha? exer?
cised in conducting tho affair. I He. baa some

The Cotton Crop.
,70 THE EDITOR OF TUG NEWS.
I sen bv your paper you estimate tho present
crop of cotton at 3.000,000 bales. Your esti?
mate, no doubt, weald have been conecta
mouth ago, but, from pr?sent prospects, tba
crop will not go over 200,000* biles moro thin
last year. Ono month ago wo had tho best
Binnu of cotton wo have Und for years, hut in
tho last two weeks all of tho August cotton
has fallen, and now we will not mako over half |
a crop. I have nevor known cotton lo* shed
and fall BO rapidly in my life. Cotton in this
section can now bo picked from ono hundred
to two hundred pounds to the band per day;
something onboard of in this soe lion for this
season ot the year. Gatton will all bo gather?
ed and sold by tho 25th Of December.

[Wo may add that wo aro informed by a
trustworthy corrcapondent, that i? the coun?
ties ot this Hiato bordoring on the Savannah
River, tho cotton orop will bo cut off one-third,
or one-half, by the hot weather and drought.
One correspondent Bays,- further, that fron!

crop will bo as Iorgo ara that of last year, not?
withstanding tho heivv fertilization and bolter
culturo this season.-ED. NEWJ.]

TO TUE EDITOR OF THE NEW ti.
I nolico thal in your issue of the Ctn im tan t j
"Old Pilots" havo thought proper to again bring
my name to notice, in connection with the re- I
cent communiaationa relative to tho pilotage
question. I will terminate tho controversy, as
tar as I am oouccruud. ?Itu a fun . r?majhftJn
ro|>ij tu ms last communication, x beg ir? will
at once relieve himself of bis apparent kind
eolieitudo regarding my future prospective, as
Ido not by any means anticipate that they will
bo at all advanced or looked upon with favor
by "Old Pilota," whose prejudico and ill favor
hajj boen plainly demonstrated in bis attempt
to injure mo before the public. My me a tal
capacities being so eadly defloieat at present,
may probably bo as tully developed os his own,
when he attains tho possibly more matured age
and exporionoe of "Old Pilots." In conclusion,
I would suggest ha had may as woll acquiesce
in the judgment of those who are SB compe?
tent, and perhaps mere so, to test my qualifi?
cations as himself, and submit, with tho best
graco he oan, to my appointment.

In your iBsue of to-diy I find oertain state
m?ntB madeovor the signature of "Old Pilots,"
concerning mn. . In reply, Ideaire to state that
the charges are false -a tissue of unblushing
misrepresentations. After reading the ?tale?
ments of the so-caded "Old Pilots,* ooo can
readily understand thd reasons that induce
them to write anonmnoua communications. As
.far aa tho brig tiimpden is concerned, I(
brought bor in, and waa employed to carry her
'out. If ber captain was satia?led of my incom?
petency, why did he not objeot to my taking
'charge of her on her outward pasearse ? Will
the only competent and "Old Pilota" substan?
tiate a single charge of theirs against me un?
der their own names ? if so, wbeu and where ?
