Tho sinoko of the "fight*' on tho mil road question hns cleared away, and we are glad to think that much of tho bittorncRa and fueling engendered hy it lin vr? cnhciflnfl rPhn nlnptinn "in a victory for the nrtvocak'8 of subscription. So far as wo have boon able to sot?, tho opponents to subscription have accepted the result good nnturedly and in good faith, and we rejoice that it is bo. We believe that if the result had boon different the friends of the road would have acted in tho same spirit. Lot us all then forget our differences and work together now for the success of the rail rond. It seems from intelligence received that EdgeOold has gone for subscription and that Aiken will do ?o. Thefore let General Hagood and his Board of Directors proceed at once and with energy to raise their money on tho road and sot to work. Those, all along the line, who have advocated the voting of the 5 per cent., will demand iL .a it. i. ? i i nun mere ue no ueiay in using every cifovt to complete the roud. They will hol<l "the management" to a strict performance of every duty incident to heir positions. Those of us who have home the brunt of this struggle will not be behind those who have opposed us, in requiring prompt and energetic action ?m the part of the officers of the road. For ourselveg we have faith that these will be used.. Our town has been much lorn with .dissensions during this controversy. As we had occnssion to say, once before, some things have been said on both aides, in the heat of debate and party spirit, that might have been left unsaid. We are sure everybody will join with us< now in saying let such things be forgottttii. We must bury all passion born of gur of our zeal for either side of this question and all of us pull together for the interest of the community. EXTRADITION. Section 5278 of the United States lievised Statutes reads thus : Whenever the Executive authority ol any State or Territory demands nny person as a fugitivo from justice, of the Executive authority of any State or Territory to which the person has lied, and produces a copy of an indictment found or an affidavit made before a magistrate of any State or Territory, charging the person demanded with having committed treason, felony or other crime, certified to b eauthentic by tho Governor or chicl Magistrate of the Stato or Territory from whence the person so chargod haa fled, it shall be the duty of tho Executive authority of the Stute or Territory to which such person hss iled to rausu him to bo arrested &c, &c, ?fcc." 'JL'his Act was passed ja 1793 and in tho particular to which we propose to r?>rer directly, has not been amended. The whole purpose and intent of the Act was to assist and facilitate the separate States in the punishment of crimes committed, for which the criminal has fled ibcyond the boundaries of the States whore .the offence was coipmittcd. Poi-g tho Act accomplish this purpose ? Quite recently a requisition was issued by the Governor of Georgia for a person, who living in South Carolina, had defrauded citizens of Georgia and fled to Alabama. The Governor of Alalmtna declined to honor the requisition because the accused had not 4*lled" from Georgia. Thereupon a requisition was obtained from the Governor of South Carolina. This also was refused by the Governor of Alabama, because tho affidavit upon which the requisition was based, was signed in Georgia. In answer to the query whether ho would Jionor any requisition, the Governor of Alabama saidjhe would not, because of a defect in the law, in other words, Jie held that the Act of 1793 does not provide for cases in which persons in one State commit crime in another and Jlce to a third. Now we believe this interpretation of .the law to be wrong. Nevertheless .such interpretation has served, and may serve again to defeat the ends of justice, .and we ask our Congressmen to see that so serious a.defect in the law be remedied at once. THE CPNTENNARY. AVe have receved the first number of <ho Centennary, an eight page paper published by Rev. K. W. Moore, of the Methodist Conference, at Ivancaster, S. C. The appearance of the paper is very attractive. Its selections are tasteful. and its original indlter marked by ;that wit, polish, grace and dignify of - style for which Mr. Moore is known. JIo writes with all the ease with which lie speaks. The ul)aMC principle* arc, "A closer union of "the Slntes, A closer union of th?? Churcjiea, A closer union of the nations." With these principles and Mr. Moore at the helm there can be no good cause for failure. BURIED. We have buried our tomahawk and quit the war path, and wo devoutly hope wo will not soon be called upon to resurrect it. We are a very mild mannered and peaceably disposed man, and only "fight" when some man "steps on the 4ail of me coat." We don't want any ? more scalps, therefore we hope our frrethern of the press will let us dwell in harmony with them "and the rest of mankind." THE COMjECTORSHIP. f The fight over the Collectorship of r the Fort of Charleston has gone from 1 had to worse, till excitement and feeling have reached such a pitch thut it is bo- K lieved the appointment of either Mr. ? Mowry or Captain Wnlker will product'a split in the party in Charleston. J Under these circumstances it. is the part ^ of wisdom to take some other man. And who deserves more at the hands of 1 the Democratic parly than does Gen'l. i John I). Kennedy ? Since 1S76 in ev- ( cry campaign he has gone; to nlmost ev- ( ery county in tho State, and devoted his :j time, his talents, and his means to the Democratic cause. As Chairman of the c State Dem. Kx. Committee, ho labored \ incessantly for the party. In J88-, t when the Governorship, a pri/.o to r which any man may honorably aspire, ^ was almost in his $;rasp, and was snatched from him, he did not sulk in his tent, J but taking the field worked with his < old time energy for the election of his j successful opponent. Nor has any man ever heard him utter a wort! of reproach ' or repining. He has always borne him- > self with dignity. Sr.ch a man is pos- 1 sess. jf high patriotism, and deserves j recognition of his services at (he hands , of his parly. The President could do I no more gracious act than appoint Jno. 1 1). Kennedy to bo Collector of (lie Port. CLEAR THE WAY! I For the Cumberland (lap Railway. Due West, Abbeville, Troy, all the ' Edgefield Townships and Trenton and j Pickens have voted tho subscription. \ If upon this the "management" can't I predicate a loan for (he immediate com- ' mencement of work, we shall say "clear j the way" Cor other and more progres- ( nive men. We are in earnest, we want I this road, we believe the basis has been laid by voting the subscription, for its j completion, and we will not easily be , satisfied with anything save work. < Those in charge of this enterprise must move and that promptly?the demand is J . unanimous?or else give place to others. | Those who don't like these conditions i can quit now. This people mean busi- | ness. LITEttAltY CLUB. ^ i i The Literary Club met at the residence of Mr. Bonham on Friday night. I Mr. J. W. Thomson read a most enter- 1 taining and instructive essay on "Our ( Civil Service.'' The discussion was , equally divided upon whether it is right that *'to the victors belong the spoils" or whether the tenure of ofiice holders | should depend wholy upon their ] efficiency, t L Mr. Titos. P. Cothran is the next es- j sayist and his subject is Judaism. MISS JULIA JACKSON. I i On yesterday Miss .Julia Jackson, the , only child of Stonewall Jackson, was married to Mr. Win.

I have an insane man on my train who has possession of one car. The police at Kmsas City, Jacksonville ami lV-uia wore all lfraid to take him.

After considerable anxious speculation as to the condition of things on hoard No. 0, the officers were finally anything but reassured by a dispatch from a suburban station warning them llinl the maniac was well armed uid would resist desperately. A little later No. G came in sight, and the police separating so as to form two jqunds, awaited her arrival on either fide of the track. As the train approached the whistle sounding a number of warnings in quick succession, people hanging half-way out of the car windows were seen to gesticulate wildI ir I a tK?? ti'/l ' V. .. i ? ? 1 * 1.-J!

Officer Barrett was the first to observe '.he lunatic. Barrett was standing near he rear end of the smoking ?-ar. The uadinan with levelled revolver, glared it him from tho front platform of the :hair car. the lutijrht of one car distant. Barrett turned half round and slopped nstantly, but too late; a ball from the unatic's revolver struck him in the ;ide, and in five minutes be was dead. Jne look at the maniac was enough to satisfy any one that while bis atmnuniion lasted he would not be taken alive. Seeing this, the officers, after removing heir wounded comrade, began a fusiadc through tb?? windows of the smok ng car. where tho madman had taken efuge. After a minute or two he rushid out on the platform, fired a couple of shots into the crowd, leaped from the rain and dashed down Fourth Avenue. Ifficer Laughlin started in hot pursuit, md tho lunatic fired the last shot in his iveapon at him, but without effect. The naninc slopped then and nwaited Laugh* ill's coining with glenmin geycs and rothing mouth. They clinched, the oficer tripped his prison of* and they both ell, the madman meanwhile beating Lnughln unmercifully on the head with villi his revolver. The officer was in :iti/.en's clothes and was set upon and erribly pounded by an excited colored nan, who mistook the officer for the prisoner. The rest of the squad arrived iliorlly and the maniac was secured, akcn first to a cell and then to a hospital to have his wounds dressed.. When he realized that further resistince was useless the prisoner grew calm ind said quite rationally that bis name vas Louis lletime, that he was 33 years >1?1 and en route to his home in Detroit 'rom Denver.

Tho 8tar this j.?i evening publishes an interview with l)r. <n. Garnet, in which the views of the ex- (>l Confederate President are given upon j'^| the political situation and other matters. s;?
