He did not intend to discuss as to wheth 'er f3ie President had' laid himsell open to criticism. Bat he would touch upon that subject at another time. ? Before the conclusion of Mr Tel ler's remarks, the Senate went into executive session and at 6 o'clock ad journed until tomorrow. WEATHER CROP BULLETIN. Condition of th? Crop* Thronghont the Stato. The following is the weather crop bulletin for the week ending Monday: No rain has been reported from any section of the State "during the past week, except 0.36 at Kingstree. The sky has been nearly cloudless, allow ing the sun to dry up the ground. The temperature has averaged unusu ally high, showing in the middle belt a gain of 47 degrees over "the normal, an average of nearly 7 degrees a day. PIEDMONT REGION. Cotton is opening rapidly and pick ing progressing with a rush. Some sec tions report cotton opening premature ly and ahead of the pickers. The seed from the coming week's picking will probably be the best for ne^t year's crop. Ginning has commenced in some places and cotton fails to third itself. W here the ground was highly manured the staple is strong, but* the lint from unmanured fields seems im mature. crop will undoubtedly be below former estimates; In fact, Anderson County claims that it will be the shortest crop since 1881, which was below one-half crop. Labor is abundant at 40 cents a hundred for picking. Sorghum is watery and the juice makes but little syrup. A large quantity of hay is being made. Peas hf Union County have lately made a vigorous growth: the vines are large with a heavy crop of well filled young pods. MIDDLE BELT. The weather has favored gathering of all crops and dried the ground ex cept in lower bottoms. Cotton is open ing very fast, many bolls opening before being matured. -'Picking generally progressing rapidly with all hands at work. Three , more weeks -*>f good weather aad cotton will be- all open. Some fields are open except late plant ed . Many farmers say the the top crop is lost Labor is reported scarce in Aiken County. Turnips and gardens are needing rain. Potatoes are fair. Peas will soon be ready to gather; they are improving every day and will make a fine crop in Lexington Coun ty, but are bearing very little in Or angeburg. Immense crops of hay, pea vine hay and crab grass are being gathered and conceded to be the bent ^ever grown. Some sorghum is being made. eoAsrr region. June rice recovered soon and is sheeting and improving nicely. Har vest of early rice has been pushed with all possible vigor. Some of the crop has been milled and marketed. Cot ton is opening freely, and picking progressing rapidly, and will be over soon this year. Along Charleston coast peaches, pears and cherries are in full bloom. J. H. Harmon, Director. Central Office, Columbia, S. C , ; Murder and Suicide Sew York, Sept 28.? A WojH special from Sanford, Fla., says 1!jt bodies of J. H. Raisly and bis were found in their residence at Paola Station yesterday. Raisly had been dead longer-ihan his wife, by twenty four to fortf^sight hours A note in the wife's hand writing was found. It simply said: "I can't stand any thing more." The couple, who were well to do, had lived very happily to gether. Paola had been their home fifteen years. The coroner's jury found that Baisly met death at tbe hands of the wife and she afterwards, probably two days later, committed CLEVELAND DEFENDED STEWARTS'S ATTACK AGAINST THE PRESIDENT ANSWERED. Senators Morgan and Voorheei Take Occa sion to Bepel False Statements In Regard to the President * Washington, Sept. 2(5. ? Mr Har ris, president pro tem presided over the Senate to day, in the absence of tbe Vice President. The attendance was so small that even before the journal was read, a call of the House was demanded. The call produced a quorum and one more. Mr. Dubois offered the following reso lution on which, he said, he would ad dress the Senate tomorrow: ' Wtareas, several sovereign States arc without full representation whiclj they are entitled to, therefore, be it resolved, that the consideration of legislation relating to the Federal laws, the tariff and finance matters which materially. effect the three partially unrepresented States be postponed in the Senate, till Monday, January 15, 1894, to enable the States of Washing ton, Monrfana and Wyoming to have the votes, influence and. protection irf ?the Senate which are guaranteed to every sovereign State by; the C V) nst.it u tion.of the United States." The resolution offered yesterday, by Mr Peffer, caWhig for information as to tbe anticipatioiTSif interest on the public bonds since 1861 was laid be fore the Senate, discussed briefly, and, then on motion of Mr Quay, laid on the table; yeas 27; nays 19. The repeal bill was taken up at 12:10 and Stewart continued his de nunciation of President Cleveland for a time. He yielded the floor to Mr Dubois, who in turn gave way to Mr Perk in 8, (Rep.) of California. It was Mr Perkfas* first speech in the body, except when, -he pronounced aeulogy_ on the- life and character of his pre decessor, Senatofv.Stanford. His voice was fall and clear, And his speech at tracted attention. He conceded that the Sherman law ufas faulty but he did not believe it was guilty in the manner or degree charged either by evidence adduced or proved. He saw other causes pending which depressed our industries andimpaired that con fidence in the future upon\ which those industries thrive. He believed it wise to expunge the offending Taw from our code of finance, but he was anxious on the other hand that in doing so, neith er Congress nor the country should make any mistake. He telt it his duty before voting for the repeal act to use every honorable means in his power to have coupled with it a declaration that it cannot be construed as~commit ting the United States to the single, gold standard. Popular government wa9 a government of compromise and where no compromise was, there was anarchy or despotism. To him Chat would abruptly strip silver of its monetary character Jie would commend a Sciiptual injuria tion: "Come let us reason together." He suggested that Congresa first re peal the purchase clause; second, de clare the unfaltering purpose of the United States to maintain the double standard; third, open the mints to American silver with a minting charge sufficient to keep the coinage within the demands of trade; fourth, coin no more gold pieces, of less than #5 de nomination and issue no more curren cy of less denomination; fifth, issue circulating notes to the full equivalent of the coin in the Tisasury; sixth, make clear the power and duty of tE^ Secretary of the Treasury to purchase' gold; seventh, preserve those features of the national banking system thait give secure and universal currency re? quiring the everlasting maintenance of the public debt; and' eighth, pro vide for a commission o? monetary ex perts not connected with the govern ment to keep it advised on all neces sary matters relating to currency. Mr Perkins argued at length in favor of these propositions, which, he said, would result in the maintenance of the double standard. Afler Mr Perkins, Senator Stewart again continued bis defense of the Senate, as he terms it It soon be came necessary to have a roll call to secure a quorum, but Mr Stewart was not ready to finish his speech today. Mr Morgan rose to a personal ex planation, alluding to the article in a Netf York paper which.; had been , read in the fr^enate reproducing the President's words at the Capitol Cen tennial Celebration. He said that he had not heard them or read them be fore today. He did not construe that remark as a rebuke to either house of Congress. If it had been so in tended, it would have been very un worthy of the President on snch an occasion. It might just as well be supplemented by a statement or pas sionate views on public questions. That would l>e quite as reprehensive as to say that the Senate or House could be .influenced by the like mo tives. Having read the portion of the article imparting to himself, per sonal and political enmity toward Cleveland, he said: "I am very hap py to state that between the Preaiden and myself there exists the most cor dial personal relations. They . JiSvtT always existed, and I hope they ever will; for I esteem and prise him very highly in all personal re spects and in his~ public career. A. think that the history of Mrx Clave land it a history which illustrates some of the highest properties of the Amerfcsa character. I differ with Mr. Cleveland in some of his views of i L- i- r: ? 1-'' : I i I " " public policy. I do not think thai I differ with him on any questions that are vital to the country or vital to the Democratic party." With this statement Mr. Morgan said he felt justified in saying that in |his particular article the paper play ed the part simply of a mischief maker. Mr. Voorhees had, also, something to say in regard to the President He was very glad to hear tte remarks of the Senator from Alaba&a in regard to the assault which bad Deen made upon the President for the last two days. He desired to account for the attitude of silence observed on the Democratic side of the chamber in the face of the aasault It was that it bad not been thought necessary to say a single word in the defense of the Presi dent from the time he was born in New Jersey up to the present hoar. On his side of the chamber; and he had reason to believe on &e other side of the chamber, and all over the cpun try, Mr. Cleveland's defense had been fully made by the American people themselves. His great aod power hi 1 career disarm*^ all such assaults as had been made upon him. Whatever of fault the Senator from Nevada might have found in Mr. Cleveland's career, the American people bad not seen it in that way. Whatever of criticism the Senator from Nevada might have indulged in the American people had not shared that criticism with him. Nobody was perfect Hu man Harare was infirm. - "The loftiest characters were not infallible. But be ventured to say that in American his tory the career of 6kpver Clevffland, his character, achievements, his honor, his patriotism and his abilities woujfl stand in the foremost line, in spite of all the assaults Which had been made. Whether Senators differed with Mr. Cleveland or agreed with him, nobody foiled to recognize his stalwart and powerful character and his high in tegrity. He hoped that this little tribute would be taken as sufficient to account for the fact that the Demo cratic side of the chamber would not -feel called upon to enter upon any defense of the President unless some thing far more important was charged against him than had been charged up to this time. r The Senate at 6 p. m., after a short executive session, adjourned until to morrow at 1 1 a. m. A MURDERER LYNCHED. [ ? v Calvin Stewart Riddled With The ? NeRToes Threaten Trouble. A&en, S. C.j Sept. 27. ? Calvin Steward the negroe larute who mur dered a white man Dear Langley a short time since, was captured yester day iu a swamp above Langley by Constable Augustine last night. The constable and a few friends started to bring the prisoner to Aiken. c When they had left Langley, about a mile ut the rear, they were surprised by a mob of fifteen of^^nty masked men. Before any resistance c uld be made the prisoner was taken from them and riddled with ballets. Coroner Couch was immediately notified and proceeded at once to the scene ot action where an inquest was held this morning, the jury bringing a verdict as usual in cases of this ikind, "That the deceased came to hin death at the hands of a party or parties un known to the jury. Before being shot Stewart co nfessed to having murdered old man Carer at Langley and implicated Stephen Dun bar, who, claimed, had aided him in the murder. About 3 o'clock to-day Sheriff Al derman wp a notified that Dunte had j been caught and that there was dan ger of his being lynched also. The Sheriff went to Langley and brought the negro badk on the 4 o'clock train. He is now lodged in the Aiken jail. ? . " f o | I The Sheriff feariag an attempt would be made to-night to lynch Dun bar telegraphed Governor Tillman for iustructfons, who wired immedi ately to Capt A. W. Oakley of the Palmetto Rifles to hold hjs copnpany in readiness to protect the prisoner if called upon by the Sheriff. The whole county^x stirred up about the affair an trouble^is feared from the negroes. FATAL RAILROAD ACCIDENT. Two People Killed and Other* Injuied in b Collision Bellevue, Mich., Sept 27. ?

CLEVELAND'S SOUMT SENSE THE PRESIDENT STATES HIS POSl j TION ON FINANCE. ! He Want* Good, Sound, Stable Money, and ContldcDce to Keep Ft In Use* Unconditional Repeal the Safe Remedy Atlanta, Ga., Sept 27.-rThe Constitution will, print tomorrow a letter from President Cleveland to Governor Northen, in which the President states his position on the financial question at sonie length. The letter is in reply to one written by Governor Northen on the 15th inst The Governor refuses to give his own letter out for publication, bnt it is known that it presented a graph ic condition of Abe political situation' in Georgia and the South and urged upon the Presiden&he expediency of a public utterance from him more comprehensive than his recent mes sage as to the proper policy -to be pursued by Congress upon questions affecting ithe stringency of the times and neecfe of the people. It is understood that in his letter, Governor Northen* pointed out the in- 1 roads being made , in Democratic ranks by the Populists by reason of the neglect or delay on the part of the Democratic majority in Congress to ] meet legislation on th^ line of the party platform and pledges. He dwelt especially upon the financial condition apd-political interests of the formers of the South, who constitute so great a proportion of the Democra cy. : 5 ' The President's reply to that letter was received this evening and* is as follows: - | Washington, D. C., Sept 25, '93. Hon. W. J. Northen. Dear Sir: I hardly know how to reply to your letter of the 15th inst It seems to'me that I am quite plain ly on record concerning the financial question. My letter accopting the nomination to the Presidency, when read in connection with the message lately sent to CongresB in extraordi jiitry session, appeara to .me to be very "explicit I want a currency that is stable and safe in the hands of our people. I will n$t knowingly be implicated in a condition that will jpstly make me, in the least degree, answerable to any laborer or farmer in the United States for a shrinkage in t}e purchasing power of the dollar h$ has received for a full dollar's worth -of the product of his toil. I not onl/ want our cur rency to be "of such. -a' character that all kinds of dollars will be of equal purchasing power at home, but I want it to be of such .& character as will demonstrate a broader wisdom and good faith, thus placing upon a ..firm foundation efth* credit among the nations of the earth. 1 want our financial condition and the laws relating^ to our currency so safe and reassuring that those who have money will spend and invest it in business and new enterprises in stead of hoarding it You cannot cure fright by calling it foolish and unreasonable and you cannot prevent the ^frightened man from hoarding his money. I want good, sound and stable money, and a condition of confidence that will keep it in use. Within the limits of what I have written, I am a friend of silver, but I believe its proper place in our currency can only be fixed by a re adjustment of our currency legislation and the inaugura tion of a consistent and comprehen sive financial scheme. I think that such a thing can only be entered upon profitably and hopefully after the re peal of the law, which is charged with all our financial woes. In the present state of the public mind, this law can not be built upon, nor patched in such a way as to relieve the situation. I am, therefore, opposed to the free and unlimited coinage of silver by thiar country alone and independently, and I am in favor of the immediate and unconditional repeal of the so called Sherman law. I confess I am astonished by the opposition in the Senate to such prompt action as would relieve the present unfortunate situation. My daily prayer is that the delay occasioned by such opposition may not be the cause of plunging the country into deeper depressionfrthan it has yet known, and that the Demo cratic party may not be justly held responsible for such a catastrophe* Yours very truly, Grover Cleveland.

A Gulf Port, Mm, special to the Daily Reg ister says: The worst wreck in the history of the Mobile and New Or leans division of the Louisville and Nashville was that which occurred here this morning at 1 o'clock. Pas senger train No. 2, consisting of three sleepers, passenger and smoking coaches, mail, baggage and \express car and engine ana beqder wenfc^into an open switch! The (rain was gun ning forty-five miles an hour when the Occident occurred. Investigation by the railroad officials, after the accident, showed that the switch, which had been properly set and locked, had -been opened. Tne lock was broken off with a large pine knot and. thrown away. Three negro tramps riding on the baggage, between ike tender aud the baggage car, were killed. Anoth er tramp was probably fatally injured. The engineer and fireman dangerous ly hurt and two postal clerks, the ex press messenger and baggage master were slightly wounded. The casualties are: Killed? 'John Allison, George Anderson and Wm. Robinson, negro tramps. Wounded ? Frank Coffin, engineer, of Mobile, serious internal injuries, head and face badly cut; George Morgan, fire man, negro*- New/ Orleans. left foot crushed and Amputated, severe scalp wounds; Louis Robinson, tramp, dan gerously internally injured; Joseph Hughes, Algiers, Ala* postal clerk; E. C. Caro, New Orleans, postal clerk; Wm. Lock, Greenville, Ala., express messenger, and Henry King ston, Greenville, Ala, baggageman, were slightly hurt The escape of the passengers jrora injury seems almost miraculous. . The train left Mississippi City ten minutes late and the engineer was running to make up lost time. When the, engineer struck the switch frog it jumped so that the flanges rode on top of the rail thirty or forty yards, then left the trafek. to the right and plunged through an empty box car on the siding. .Engineer Coffin and Fireman Morgan gallantly stuck to their pJosts and attempted to apply athe air brakes. This shock uncoupled the tender, which kept on the main track, riding on its wheel flanges till a hundrdf ^ards beyond where the engine was Mcked, and as it left the rails was capsized completely. The baggage and express car followed the engine and collapsed alongside of it The mail car left the track to the left and was shattered into splinters. The smoker and passenger coaches fol lowed the wrecked eDgine and the baggage car and first-class coach were piled on top of the smoker. The first sleeper left the, rails, but remained on the roadbed. The other two sleepers did not leave the rail* - The train reached Mobile at 11:45 a. m. The wounded Hpgro tramp will die. The physicians think that no other persons injured are mortally hurt Physicians from Mobiles-Bay St. Louis, Mississippi CitylmfrHaLids bro were sent to Gulf Port by the railroad officials. A* soon as the news of the accident was received in Mobile aud New Orleans this morn ing early, a wrecking train from Mo bile and another from New Orleans were at Gulf Port before daylight and the wounded #men were given every attention.
