Our Court of Common Pleas ai\joum cRWx - ed at a late hour on Friday night last There we no coses of very great im ■ porta noe on the docket. It appears to ns, from what we have hoard and wit- neased of Judge Mackey during the last two weeks, that the Circuit Bench is far too limited a sphere for his versatility and transcendent talents.' His rulings are no lew remarkable for their pro- fundity than for their striking originality. Until the advent of this wonderful legal light we were simple enough to believe that such men as Wardl&w, Punkin, Harper and others of our former Judges knew something of jurisprudence. We now incline to believe that they were in this respect merely protoplasms of 1 still higher order of judicial wisdom re oeotly developed by rapid progressive evolution into that astounding order We trust that such merit will meet with its due reward, and that before his Honor reaches us again in the course of his peregrinations time or Providence may have removed him Other sphere more befitting the remarkable extent of his attainments, the acuteness of his intellect, the bold nessjpf his inventive genius, the modesty and magnanimity of his character and the consistency of his record. called Mackey ion ■m Tfce Klaaptoai Case. —— In a recent able editorial the Newt and Courier endeavors to vindicate the administration of South Carolina, par ticularly the legal department of the government, against charges of blunder ing in the above case. Wo readily admit that nothing can justify the actisr of the government of Massachusetts towards the Executive of South Carolina. Governor Rice and his Attorney-Genera], Train, have violated the comity of States and been punished even at home by rapid and well deserved political ostracism; but even the Neiet and Courier is forced to admit that Cavender. the Clerk of the Bond Com- mission, by his “ unauthorized interfer ence ” defeated the plans of the admin, iatrntion and the State Department of Justice, and that Cavender’s letter was point of the case.” iw, we would just here remark that when a government cannot get along without ipjectiug into its service such dead beats as Thomas S. Cavender and Frank H. Eaton, the Radical satrap and political satyr who sat at Blackvillc and aetested our citizens upon the affidavits of imwpoBsible and uncooscieutious ne groes, and who was afterwards reward sd by a soft place in the Legislative Re Bond Commission at Columbia, it centre tempt.

The AbherUft TWw Banner, rn noticing General McGowan’s report of the battles of the Wilderness and 8pot> sylvania Court House, says ; Of all the lierre sUIUi^Ils of the u rtr. fruitful in glory ami fearful in bloodshed, those battles are unsurpassed. 11 The Bloody Angle” then described by lines of death-dealing fire stands out a unique picture in the gallery of war. We are informed that the stump of the tree cut down by myriads of musket balls, referred to by General McGowan, has been uprooted, removtfd to Washing ton, and is now on exhibition there at the War Department. It,was displayed at the Oentennial Exhibition at Philadel phia .a»ft remarkable evidence of bravery and endurance of soldiers in battle. It certainly affords the highest evidence possible of the intensity and duration of a musketry fire, and of tho devotion of the soldiers who could stand such a fire. But it must not be forgotten that it was not the Federals, but the Confederate soldiers who received that fire. The tree stood within “ the Bloody Angle,” a few steps in rear of the Confederate trenches, and every ball which stmek it was discharged from a Federal rifle, and gray and passed over the “boys in struck the tree in their rear. Col. A. P. Butler, now the Honorable Senator from Aiken county, then com manded the First Sonth Carolina Regi ment, was very near the tree, witnessed the whole process of ” sealing,” and saw it when it fell upon and injured some of his men. The diameter of the tree was measured by the sword of Gen. Wilcox and found to be twenty inches. The incident is perfectly well authenticated and is certainly one of the most inter esting in the annals of war. There arc many famous trees, but not one that wc wot of—not the Royal Oak of England, nor the Charter Oak of America, can vie in historical interest with the bullet- sawn oak of the Bloody Angle. Lot tho Federal Government give, it an honored place among the spoils of that *bloody war ; let it be preserved as proof of the terrific powex and concentration of the firing of the Northern soldiers. Buf it would be a strange reversion of title to glory if the picresd and jagged stem of that sacred tree should be regarded as redounding to the honor of the Federals, instead of as a signal proof of ConfeJe- Me bravery unmatched iu warlike story. Gov. Hampton's Mrjoinder to Governor Rive. [Nov* and Courier.| __ Columbia, September 24.—The- fol lowing letter has been addressed by Governor Hampton to Governor Rice, in response to that recently received from him: Stats o» South Cabouxa, Executivr Chambkr, Columbia, S. 0., Sept. 24, 1878. His Excellency Alexander H. Rice, Governor, Boston, Mass.: Sir : Owing to my unavoidable ab sence, your letter refusing to surren der Hiram H. Kimptoo.a fugitive from justlco arrested in Massachusetts, for whose delivery upon indictment regu larly found against him here for a crime committed in this State, I, as the Governor of South Carolina, made de mand upon you, as the Governor of Massachusetts, In accordance with the Constitution of the United States and the act of Congress passed in pursu ance thereof, has remained unanswer ed. I regret that the chief executive of the great State of Massachusetts should have committed so flagrant a violation of tho supreme law of the land, a violation irreparable in its na ture, as the State suffering tBTereby has no possible redress. Had you confined yourself to giving a simple refusal to* surrender the fugitive, I should make no further comments upon your letter, as the disregard of the executive au thority of one State concerns the whole people of the United States; butioasrauch as you have seen fit to base your action on the ground that in your judgment the object in pro curing the indictment against Patter son, Parker and Kimpton “ does not appear to be for the purpose of trying Kimpton for the crime charged against him, but for a different purpose,” it is my duty, as the Governor of South Carolina, to add that your statement is entirely unwarranted, and to repel the unworthy imputation, as I do with Indignant scorn. I am your obedient servant, Wade Hampton, Governor. ftatloul flfevrs. > ^ »*<- -y'-i eavon gave women tongues to ask questions with and eyes to give an swers with. ^ f The Radicals are to hold their coun ty nominating convention in Camden on Thursday, October 8d. When the latest malls left Londdto 581 bodies have been recovered of those who lost their lives through the sinking of the Princess Alice steamer. ' The night and day of the 21st of September were of equal length* The nights are therefore longer now tnan the days. The mortgage debt of the South Car olina Railroad, according to Judge Bond’s decision rendered at Baltimore, is 156,000,000, and its floating indebted ness deal ly 51,200,000. Governor Hampton spoke in Sumter on Saturday last to over.3,000 people. Colored Democrats in red shirts turn ed out in large numbers, and the dem onstration was a gruhd one. A colored woman in Edgefield coun ty gave birth to triplets. The yonug- sters were given the names of Butler, Hampton and Gary. This is evidently another case of intimidation. The Chester Reporter says : It Is with great difficulty that the cotton crop is being gathered in some por tions of this county, caused in some in stances by the Indolence of the labor ers and in other cases by sickness on the plantations. Two members of the Wardlaw fam ily, of Abbeville, 8. C., have died recent ly—Mrs. Gen. McGowan, who died in Abbeville on Thursday last, and Mr. David A. Wardlaw. who died of yellow fever in Memphis, while bravely nur sing a brother. Among tho donations received last week in New York for the yellbw fe ver suffoiers, was one of fifty pounds sterling from Sir Moses Monteflore, baronette of East Cliff lodge, Rams gate, England, who never forgets tho suffering in any part of the globe. A company has appled for a charier for a railroad from Aiken via Trenton and E Igefield C. H., to the Augusta, Knoxville and Greenwood Railroad. The grading and other work upon the railroad from Edgefield C. H. to Tren ton goes on systematically, energeti cally and continuously. Darlington Southerner: About twen ty colored men voluntarily came up and joined the Florence Democratic Club last week. There is no Republi can party in Darlington now ; the thing is dead, therefore tho best thing colored men can do is to come into the Democratic party and make lasting friends for themselves. Senator M. 0. Butler has arrived home in Edgefield. While absent he made arrangements for the services of several distinguished speakers in the State campaign. Among others are Rev. Mr. Bluckburu, of Kentucky; Hon. Randolph Tucker, of Virginia, and Hon. Mr. Banning, of Ohio, all of them members of Congress. Anderson Journal: The Radical county convention proved a failure— about fifty delegates present. After a good deal of wrangling and dispu ting, a committee was appointed to re several other places on the reed, advance upon freight, as ton, la said to be 50 per cent., and as regards other goods oven jnore. a ; “ GemTen,” said Brother Gardner.as reported by the Detroit Free Press, " death mus’ come to ail. We can’t escape it. Borne of us will be hung, some drowned, some burned up In barns, some git shot by de police, but It will be death jus’ de same. Let us hev our cabins in order, an’ let us be ’epectin a visit from dat white-faced angel who moves so softly dat men hear not, an’ who strikes so swiftly dat men hev no escape.” A Greenville, 8. C., special says that revenue officers retarned from Pickens county report that Deputy Marshal Gary met Redmond near his home on the 2Gth Inst. Redmond said that be would not leave home, and that if the revenue officers came for him he would hurt somebody. J3e would not sur render If the Government agreed to sentence him only to six months’ im prisonment. He emphasized the state ment that Gary would be killed, not by him, however, but he could not pre vent it. Redmond and three men with him wore well armed. Mr. W. C. .SAM©?, president of tho Langley Mills, bliif just recently re ceived an order from Australia for goods manufactured by that factory, and has made a shipment accordingly. It is a rather significant fact that one of the colonies of Great Britain, a country which has always prided it self on its manufactories, is looking in this direction for cotton goods. Mr Blbiey has also shipped one hundred bales of goods to fill an order from Europe. These goods will be sent to Zanzibar by tho European purchaser. 8ir Garnet Wolsoley, the ruler of Cy prus, has a good hand at description. Ho was in this country during the civil war, and tbns wrote of Stonewall Jackson : “ A broad, open forehead, from which the hair Is well brushed back ; his shapely nosev straight and long ; thin, colorless cheeks, with only a very small allowance of whisker; clearly shaven upper lip and chin; a pair of fine grayish blue eyes, rather sunken, wltboverhanging brows, which. Intensify the keenness of his gaze, but without imparting any fierceness to it, * * * and a smile that seems always lurking about his mouth when he speaks.” Pee-Dee Watchman ; A correspon dent at Society Hill writes as follows ; The river has b o en booming for several days past, but it is supposed at this writing to bo very nearly at a stand. An immense amount of damage has been done to the crops. It is reported that 400,000 babels of corn have been destroyed in'the neighborhood- of Cheraw. Mo«d of the'corn opposite Society Hill wtlljfee ruined, itgeneraily being planted on the richest, lowest bottoms. Cotton will not suffer so much. This freshet is a groat calam ity to our people. Camden Journal: The Radicals of this county are at last beginning to move. They have already elected del egates in many precincts to their coun ty convention, which meets in Camden on the 3 J of October, for the purpose of nominating a ticket for county of ficers. That they mean to give ns a port on the expediency of making any 1 mighty tussle for the mastery of Ker A Killing Frost Octobkb 1st.—In response to an inquiry from a Mem phis gentleman, Mr. U C. Blake, of Decatur, I11 M whose weather predio tioas up to the last few years have been remarkably verified, writes: “ It ta positively certain there will be no killing frost before about October 1st —any between September 26th and Oc tober 4tb—and it is equally certain that heavy frosts that will kill all yel- . low fever will obtain at that time, ess hardly expect snytlmig else than an th h j ^ unabIe ^ determlne juM ^ ^ .1 ;I C - ' M — A I 0 .CTV now how far south said frost will ex tend ; but inasmuch as no Winn weath er will exist Fall after the first appears, U follows that ‘ killing frost the plague must speedily disappear soon after October 4th. ThoUnitod^Hu* ^ of railroad opened in 1877. rSs-i, nominations. The upshot of all of it was tho nomination of one man named Parker, who, it is said, will probably decline to be a candidate. Beaufort Tribune ; Last Thursday evening the people of Port Royal gave a pleadant send-off to eight of Its citi zens who had volunteered to go to Memphis as nurses. The company was in charge of Mr. Geo. 8. Harrison, and as they all passed through the fever at Port Royal they consider themselves safe from the attacks of the disease. The Democracy of Richland county have nominated a strong Legislative and county ticket, insomuch that it is said that the Republicans are talk ing about supporting the entire ticket. The following is the Legislative ticket nominated: For tho Senate, J. H. Kinsler. For the House of Represen tatives, John C.^eegers, J. A. Elkins, E. MeC. Clarkson, John C. Haskell and J. E. Bacon. U. S. Commissioner Hallett gave a decision on the 23d inst, in the case of Henry Pair, ordering his discharge. Parr, it will be remembered, was en gaged with others in the capture of the steamer Chesapeake in the name of the Confederate Government during the late civil war. The commissioner ordered his discharge on the ground that his case was covered by tho gen eral amnesty proclamation of Decem ber 25th, 1868. The policy of Wade Hampton, as freshly illustrated every day, ought to bind the colored people to him by hooks of steel, and win for him the respect and confidence of the whole country. There now oomee a report of his speech at Greenville, 8. C., lately, before a Democratic meeting, In which he made one of the most eloquent and cogent pleas for Jostlce to the negro that has ever been uttered, North or South.—Philadelphia Tines. Owing to the reoent exorbitant ad vance on freight upon cotton and indeed every class of goods over the Charlotte, Columbia and Angusta Rail road, several of our merchants who handle cotton, together with many large planters, have resolved to run a ten had 2,177 miles wagon train between Johnston and shaw county no longer admits of doubt. But such action on their part but insures the most perfect organiza tion of our part? and renders our tri umph doubly sure. J. P. M. Foures, one of the principal white leaders of the Radical party, publishes a card In the Orangeburg Times, in which ho says : “Being sat isfied with the manner in which Gov ernor Hampton has ruled our State for the last two years, and being con vinced that it Is tho duty of every true man to unite With the Democracy In their glorious eff *rt to give good gov ernment to the whole Htato by elec ting good men to all the various coun ty offices, I hereby withdraw myself from all affiliation with the late Re publican party and pledge myself to do all in my power for the election of good mon of the aforesaid party, (of Democrat,) atid will ever tender my aid to their success. Oa the trip that was made to Bean- fort, S. C., on Sunday, the 18th of Au gust, by tho City of Bridgeton, among the excursionists was Moses M. Boyn ton, an ex-policeman from this city. Whilst in the town Mr. Boynton be came engaged in a fracas with some negroes near the hotel, during which difficulty, one of tho negroes struck him on the head with a brick, knock ing him down. He recovered In a few minutes, and after having his wound washed, went on board the steamer and returned home. The Injury was considered trifling, and before the steamer reached her wharf the occur rence was forgotten by many. On ar riving home, however, Mr. Boynton retired, feeling rather badly from the effects of the injury, and was unable next morning to leave bis bed. Fever ensued, and on Sunday night he died at bis residence on Anderson street, near Whitaker. His remains were sent to Whitehall, the home of his youth, on the Savannah and Charleston Rail road, by yesterday’s train.—Savannah News, 24th. ,^1. A child of Mr. Wiley Bond died sud Augusta. This is also being done at denly on the 8th ult. The Kd*efleld DlflicwHy. [from the Columbia BcftoUr.J Colemag, Wade Lott and Mack Toney were brought before Jadge Haskell in chambers last week upon a writ of habeas corpus. Mr. Shepard (a brother of Speaker Shep ard), of the Edgefield bar, represented the prisoners, and Attorney-General Youmans appeared for the State. It will be remembered that the accused are some of the parties charged with participating and aiding in the riot in Edgefield on the occasion of the Demo cratic meeting at that point in August, upon which occasion three men lost their lives. After a fair and full hear ing brfore Judge Haskell, Lot was ad mitted to bail in the sum of $6,000, and the other two were remanded, bail be ing refused in their cases, but with leave granted to renew at any future time, either before the Supreme or Cir cuit Judges. The accused are all re spectable looking men, and none of thorn presented the bloodthirsty ap pearance we had been led to believe they would upon inspection.

Tbs Chicago Evening Herald, says: M Ben Butler Is coming to Iliinois, and thoughtful people are buying disinfec tants.” The Augusta Chronicle of Saturday says; Since 1873 “ fare tickets ” of the South Carolina Railroad, in the shape of one and two dollar bills, have been fo circulation in Augusta, in Charles ton and in that portion of South Caro lina contiguous to the South Carolina Railroad. These “ fare tickets,” which are in reality notes of the company, have passed freely as currency at their par value. Yesterday Maj. F. K Huger, agent of the road at this point, received instructions from Mr. J. H Wilson, the treasurer of the road, to discontinue receiving “fare tickets for freight or passage from that date, the 26tb, and to notify conductors of the instructions. Several of these notes, about twenty dollars in all, were presented at tho Augusta agency during the day, in payment of freight bills, but, acting under instruc tions from Mr. Wilson, the agent de clined to receive them. It is thought that not more than one hundred dol lars of these notes are held in Augusta. Wo understand that one party in South Carolina, not far from this ci‘y holds two hundred dollars worth of them. Tom llamlllon. This noted individual, having been readout of the Republican party at the recent meetings on the Islands, has cast his fortunes with the Democracy. In a speech at Aiken last Friday Hamilton was, according to the report in the Co lumbia Register, greeted wi^i three times three cheers, and he pitched into the Radical party on general principles He said that he hed negroes working on liis plantation, who, if they did not vote with him and for Tillman, could not get any more of his corn and bacon. He owned the land and paid the taxes, am had a right to do as lie pleased with his own. He thanked God that he had no fear under Democratic rule, which fully protected his rights of person and prop erty, and would guarantee free speech to himself and all his race, which had been misled by designing Radicals.—Beau fort Tribune.
