The. long-talkcd-of strike of the iron
and steel workers was begun on Thurs
day in the rolling mills of Pittsburgh,
Wheeling, Youngstown, Sharon, Erie,
Cleveland, Chicago, St. Louis, and at
several other cities and towns through
out the west. It is believed that no
; widely-extended strike will take place
at Cincinnati, as the union ofEoials or- j
dered that the meo there employed coo-!
tinue at work. This strike obstructs \
production iu the lines affected some- j
where between 33 and 40 per cent. A j1
few steel works will continue, and a few
iron works eogaged in the production of i
specialties; but the iron manufacturers
believe that these concessions will not! j
affect the strike. They prefer this con- j
cession to be made now than later on, !
when the action would be construed
more unfavorably by the workmen, and
help to prolong the idleness. The de
mand for steel has been and is very
great, and the steel works have a com
paratively limited number of puddling,
furnaces; hence the action of the steel
makers is not significant.?Bradstrects

THE CONTESTED" ELECTION
CASES.
Mackey has at last obtained a seat in
the Bouse of Representatives. In spite
of the forgery and falsehood of his testi
mony and the earnet protest of every
democratic member against the perpe
tration of the outrage, and in the face
of the indignation of every honest man
who knows the facts iu the ease, he was
declared elected?the Representative of
the First Congressional District of
South Carolina?giving another vote to
the Republican majority and weaken
ing the Democratic side by a loss of one
man. This is another example of the
utter indifference of this party to the
demands of justice and honesty when j
measures are to be enacted, or when
mere strength of numbers enables them
to obtain an advantage. Had an inves
tigation been made of the charges of
forgery and fraud which had been
brought- against Mr. Mackey in the
compilation of the. testimony upon
which he based - his claim and which
was proven by the statement of his
ulerk, Mr. Smith, there would have
been some semblance of honest dealing
in the matter, but it seems that in this
:ase the Republicans did not care even
to be thought above corruption, and
ifter a 'cut and dried' report from the
Committee, ignored every appeal for an
investigation, and, by means of the
most, arbitrary and unprecedented
rulings on the part of the Speaker, they
silenced the Democrats and elected
Mackey.
And yef this is the party that pro
esses to discountenance fraud and force
in Southern elections; that holds 'a free
rote and fair count' to be the very foun
dation of a free Republican govern
ment; that has recently spent thou
sands of dollars from the public Treasu
ry to convict supposed violators of
election laws, ft is passing strange
that seemingly patriotic men?those
who profess to have their country's good
tt heart?will attempt to aid the con
sonance in power of this party, and
issist in its endeavor to regain its posi
tion in South Carolioa by creating dis
satisfaction in the Democratic ranks
ind weakening its strength by so-called
Independent movements. It is a no
ticeable feature that Greenbackers and
representatives of other irregular par
ses invariably affiliate with the Repub
licans. It is so in Congre^during Jhe_.

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.
A financial.crisis in the near future
s being predicted at the North by men
who are said to be of a reflective busi
ness character. This idea is based upon t he
fact that our exports of gold is assum
ng enormous propoitions. and that of
>ther commodities is growing less. Mr.
Bookwalter, a prominent financier, com
uentisg upon the situation, says, after
illuding to the unexampled crops from
L875 to 1880, the booming of stock, in
Jation of prices, the demands of bread
stuffs in Europe, &c:
'Formerly we sent wheat. If we
were sending ?4,700,000 in wheat in
stead of gold it would take two of the
largest vessels a whole year to carry it,
ind give employment to our rail
roads to carry it to the sea-board.
Forty Vanderbilts cannot sustain the
prices of stocks in the face of natural
causes. The failure of Vanderbilt to
sustain Lake Shore demonstrated this j
beyond a doubt. American railroad j
securities received a hard blow when I
Lake Shore tumbled eighteen points ia |
i week. A year ago the iron manufac- i
turers announced that they were crowd-1
?d with orders for six months ahead. J
For a year I have been buying iron for j
my works by the month, and shall con- j
iinue to do so. Railroad building has
ilmost ceased, and as a consequence one
)f the best and largest markets for iron
. applies has closed. In the last six
uonths large supplies of iron in ail
grades have been accumulated at the
'urnaccs and mills because it cannot
ind a market *
'In addition to buying our grain,
Europe invested in our stocks, which
promised such rich returns. The iron
business responded to the railroad de
velopment ; the farmer not only paid
bis ocbts with his wonderful crops, but
he began to buy luxuries. This is the
boom, and business swept onward in one j
Errand tide, unmindful and ignorant of;
the fact that it could only be sustained
while the causes existed. Now, only
Due cause has failed to o*perate, and we
are already suffering. Europe has
ceased to buy our graiu because they
don't need it, and because it is too high
priced. What is the result? There is
no transportation, and the railroads are
oot earning dividends. Stocks are down
and the rates of iuterest are up. Men
have already ceased to handle money
to do business, because there is no Ion- j
ger a sure profit, and because it is not j
safe to proceed on a money market with j
increasing rates. How can a big crop j
bring prosperity unless we can find a j
market ? Europe has already learned to j
buy cheaper grains in other markets, j
Her prospects for a good crop are as
bright as ours. Who, then, is going
to buy our grain V
The Wilmiogton Star, referring to j
this subject says:
Already the balance of trade is beav- j
iiy against the United States Instead of
bringing in gold we are sending it out j
and in large quantities. All hope- j
ful and buoyant as long as we sold i
Europe more than we bought in return. !
But all this is changed, aud as Mr.
Beokwalter shows there is distress. Al
ready $30,000,000 of gold has been
shipped to Europe. In one day, ?4,
700,000 went out from New York.
A cloud is gathering. There will
be a storm after awhile. Wise ma
riners will take in sail and prepare for
what is coming. Americans live too
fast and are too easily affected by cir
cumstances. If our imports continue
to exceed our exports the calamity
looked for will be sure to come.
Bradstreefs of June 3d, says:
Very little improvement has been
noted in the outflow of produce during
the week, the export clearances from
the port of New York having reached
an aggregate valuation of only ?5,259,
468, against ?4,942.700 the preceding
week, and comparing with a total of
?8,317,641 same week last year, and
?8,042,822 same week in 1880, mak
ing the grand total since January 1,
1882. ?128,559,993, against ?155,
643,854 same period in 1881, and
?150,731.324 in the corresponding
portion of 1880, thus indicating a loss
on the outward movement thus far in
1882 of ?27,083,861, as compared with
the aggregate of last year, to date.
"MIGHT MAKES BIGHT."
Republican Theory Carried Out in
the Dibble Case.
("Special Dispatch to the News and Courier ]
Washington, May 29?On the as
sembling of the House at 11 o'clock,
when Mr. Reed called up his amend-,
ment to the rules, the Democrats made
two or three dilatory motions. A vote
was bad on the first and a quorum
developed juSt 147 votes, Hardenberg
and Fulkerson voting. Pendiug a vote
on the second Democratic motion, Reed
made the point of order to the effect that
dilatory motions were, out of order on
making a rule, and the Democratic side
demanded time to debate it. Mr. Reed
offered half an hour to each side. Mr.
Randall objected to binding the Demo
crats to a special time, although no un
necessary delay was desired. After
discussion Mr. Randall left it to the
speaker to decide, and he, at the sug
gestion of Mr. Reed, said he would not
cut off debate until each side had at
least an hour for debate. Mr. Reed
spoke in support of his point of order;
aud Mr. Randall against it, Mr. Mas
sou spoke in favor, Mr. Crrlislo against,
Mr. Haskell in favor, Mr. Blackburn
agaiust, Mr. Robeson in favor, Messrs.
Cox, Hooker and McLane against it.
Several other RepublicRns were to
speak, but after Mr. Carlisle's magni
ficent argument and Mr. Cox's over
whelming reply to Mr. Robesou they
did not attempt to justify their position,
but stolidy relied on the Speaker's par
tisanship aud obedience to Mr. Robeson
Mr. McLane spoke aud Mr. Hazelton
followed him in support of Reed's point,
tuveighing against ex-rebels and accus
ing the Democrats of striking on all
occasions possible at the heart of the
Government.
Mr Reagan spoke against the Repub- j
lican position.
Mr. Robinson,'of Massachusetts-, sup- J
ported Mr.' Reed, hinting bitterly that j
fifty members beld_ seat* by the false j
affidavits of Governors of States. He i
made the strongest presentation of the !
Republican side yet heard.
Mr. Randall spoke a few minutes, {
quoting a decision of Speaker Keifer in j
this Congress directly antagonistic to
Mr. Reed's point.
Speaker Keifer refused to let the
Democrats close the debate although
they were attacked, but let Mr. Reed
finish with an insolent speeeh.
Speaker Keifer at 4.10 P. M. began
reading his ready made ruling, and
great attention was at first paid to this
piece of Robeson's work. The galleries
were crowded and the House full. t it
was haltingly read because the Speaker
was unfamiliar with Mr. Robeson's
handwriting. After the first words
were spoken it was received indifferent
ly and contemptuously by the Demo
crats.
Mr. Randall said: From that ruling
just announced I appeal to the House,
whose officer you are.
Mr. Reed: I move to lay that mo
tion on the table
After great confusion for a minute
the roll began. The vote on the mo
tion to lay ^the appeal on the table j
showed 150 yeas, uo nays. No Demo
crats voting. Three more than a
quorum.
On the announcement of the vote
Mr. Cox arose to a question of privilege, !
and, as part of his remarks had read a j
paper signed by one hundred Democrats j
protesting, after a preamble explaining
the case, against the conduct of the
majority aud their Speaker as unjustifi
able, arbitrary and revolutionary.
The Republicans fought against its
being read, but Speaker Kiefer after
his collossal injustice allowed this
small boon to the minority. There
was a small sensation on the Republican
side, but not uproar.
Mr. Cox asked that the protest be
made part of the record. Mr. Kasson
opposed it. Speaker Kiefer allowed it
to go into tho record, and members who
had not yet signed it were given leave
to append their names this evening.

A Solid Southern Democracy.
The Residt of Republican Inquiry Into j
the Alleged Disaffection Among the j
Bourbons.
New York, May 29.?The Times J
prints fifty answers to the following j
questions addressed to one hundred
editors of Democratic newspapers at
County seats iu Alabama, Arkansas, J
Florida, Georgia, Louisana, Mississippi, j
North Carolina, South Carolina and i
Texas:
1st. Is the policy of the Democratic
party managers iu harmony with the
geueral sentiment of the people of your
district? If that policy excites any dis
satisfaction, is it chiefly directed
against the principles or the persons j
sustained by the party leaders ?
2d. How do your people regard
the administration of President Ar
thur?
3d. Is there in your neighborhood
any decided expression of opinion iu
regard to tho tariff? If so, what is its
extent and uature ?
The Times summarizes the answers
to the first question as follows; That
the South is still solid iu its affiliation
with the Democratic party may be laid
down as made' absolutely certain by
these observations. The masses still
look to the Democracy as upholding
their best interest, material and politi- j
cal. On all national issues the people !
are a unite. Perhaps one-fourth of the j
letter speak of dissatisfaction with the
methois of the leaders but the witers I
are careful to State thai the people are
in full harmony with party principles and
will forget.all local differences in de
fending tbetn Only in two responses
to the first clause of the question is the
answer made 'not entirely so' Local
issues in two or three States, legislation
not entirely satisfactory to the whole of
the party as, for example, the stock law
in South Carolina and the prohibition
law in North Carolina, have divided
the party, but this division is a State
matter and would be lost sight of in con
sideration . of national i#sues. They
oppose the Republicans as seeking alli
ance with the colored man and putting
him in power over them. They assert
that the ignorance of that race unfits it
for control and its supremacy would
annihilate all hope of prosperity.
Of replies to the second question the
Times says : In all the letters referen
ces to thehopes of the South from Gar
field's administration seem like a wail.
The people, however, trusted that Pres
ident Arthur would carry out the pol
icy of his predecessor; but disappoint
ment has followed, and more than half
the letters speak of him as a narrow
partisan seeking ouly the interests of
his party?as one from whom nothing
beneficial to the South can come. The
appointments to office in the South as a
rule are a great source of dissatisfaction
and are regarded as showing that Ar
thur is not friendly disposed From the
three States of Mississippi, Louisiana
and Arkansas only come expressions of
praise, and these are almost entirely due
to the Mississippi levee proclamation,
and even these generally are mingled
with words of distrust.'
Answers to the third question show
that with one or two exceptions little
discussion of the tariff is reported
among the people. Many writers say
that the question is not understood
among the masses; one that they have
no conception of what 'tariff' means.
The truth appears to be that they are
too busy to take any interest in the
matter, and, being chiefly agricultural
ists, the subject naturally attracts much
less attention than in other sections of
of the country. About thirty letters
say that where there is any discussion
at all the feeling is iu favor of a tariff
for revenue only and such incidental j
protection as would naturally follow.
A MIDNIGHT TRAGEDY.
A Negro Eavisher Lynched in Fair
field County.
[Special Dispatch to the Sunday News.J
Winnsboro', June 2.?One of the
most fiendish outrages ever committed
in Faiifield County has been terribly
avenged.'
Oa Wednesday afternoon, May 24th,
an outrageous assault was committed
upon the person of Mrs. Martha Rains,
the wife of Mr. James A. Rains, j
near Blythewood, in this county. The
circumstances attending the assault
have been : detailed, and are briefly
these ; About sundown on Wednesday
evening Mrs. Rains went to the springy,
near her house to get a bucketjof..water".
Afjter_sh.e had filed her/bucket and was
about returrnng-ro^fhe house, Caleb
Campbell, a colored man, approached
her, threw bis arms about her neck,
and dashed her, to the ground. Mrs.
Rains resisted, cried for help, and after
struggling on the ground for five or
ten minutes, the negro left without ac
complishing his villanous purpose, being
frightened away by sounds of an ap
proaching wagon.
As soon as the news of the assault
was known in the community a number
of persons were arrested and brought
before Mrs. Rains for identification.
When Caleb Campbell was brought
before her he was instantly identified as
the person committing-the assault. He
was taken before Trial Justice D.
Hogan on last Monday, and after a pre
limiminary examination was regulary
committed to jail for trial at the next
Court of Sessions for this county, which
will be convened on next Monday.
The publie were greatly incensed at
the outrage and many threats of Iynch
iog were made.
In order to prevent a resort to popu
lar violence Campbell was brought' to
Winnsboro on the train on Monday
night, iu charge of a special constable,
and safely lodged in . jail. Last night
between 12 and 1 o'clock, a party of
about eighty men rode into Winnsboro'
and going to the jail told the sheriff they
had a prisoner for him. ' Not suspecting
that anything was wrong the sheriff open
ed the door when he was seized by seve
ral men and roughly thrown to the floor.
On trying to summon help a saddle
cloth was thrown over his head to pre
vent any outcry. In spite of the sheriff's
protests and resistance his pockets
were searched and the key secured to
the door leading to the third story of
the building' where the cells are
situated. A number of the men went
up stairs and examined.the cells asking
at each ceil who occupied it. They
forced open the ceil in which Campbell
was confined. As soon as be was led
out into the corridor a pair of iron
handcuffs was promptly clasped around
his wrists and he was taken out of jail
into the street and mounted on a mule,
in front of one of the vigilance com
mittee.
A tope was placed around Campbell's
neck, and with one end in the hands of
meu who rode on either side of the
doomed man the night-riders left town
in a gallop^ riding at full speed down
the Columbia road to a point about
three miles below Winnsboro'. There
the mule on which the prisoner was
mounted was ridden under a large post
oak tree, and the rope arond his neck
was thrown over a convenient limb and
secured to a pine tree standing wirhiu a
few feet. The mule was then led out
and Caleb was left hanging between
heaven and earth.
The men who did the work rode
away quietly, aud when the sheriff
reached the place of execution, only a
short timo after the deed was done,
there was nothing to be seen but Caleb
Campbell's body blightly swaying iu
the cool ni;;ht air, stone dead.
When the .sheriff reached Campbell
he found a small placard pinned to his
clothing containiog the following words:
'Our mothers, wives and sisters shall be
protected, even with our lives.'
The friends of the victim made no
demand for the body, which was burried
in a county coffin just under the limb
upon which he paid the penalty for his
awful criu-c.
Campbell was a stout negro about
twenty-two years old aud bore a bad
character, having once committed an
outrage ou a young negro woman aud
being suspe nd of a villainous assault
on another white lady. Although the j
more conservative portion of the commu
bity regret the resort to popular violence, |
still no one doubts that Campbell fully 1
merited the justice which has beeo
measured out to him. There is no doubt
that he committed the assault on Mrs.
Rains. The evidence against him was
overwhelming and conclusive. To add
to the enormity of his crime, when the
assault was committed on Mrs. Rains
she was about four months advanced
in pregnancy. The terrible struggle
with her assailant has resulted in a pre
mature birth, and I understand this
evening that the lady is in a critical
condition. J. C. H.
