PRESTON BR0OKS'S CANE.
From the Pittsburg ChronIcle.l

At the last monthly meeting of the Massa-
chusetts Historical Society, says the Lowell
Citizen, Rev. DR.. A. P. Peabody exhibited the
cane with which Preston Books assaulted
Charles Sumner. 1t was presented to Dr.
Peabody, In his recent visit to the West, by
Judge Bellamy Storer, brother Of DR.. Storer,
of this city, and Its Identity is assured beyond
all doubt. The cane is of ebony, solid and
heavy, with carved ivory head, and 1t en-
closes substantial sword or dagger ofsteel.-
Boston Transcript :.
What we know about the Brooks assault,
the cane included, lead US to doubt the tdenti-
ty of the Cincinnati article. On the day after
the assault lin May, 1867 the sergeant-at-
arms of the House OF Representatives, Adam
], Glossbrenuer, exhibited to us fragment OF
the ebony cane about one foot In length 1t
being the lower end, including the ferule.
The broken end was split Off dlagonally. There
we're other fragments or splinters, but t6is
was said to have been the principal one, pick
ed no on the Senate floor after the assault.
MIR. Glossbrenner stated at the time that he
had paid FIVE dollars for the fragment for
another party who wished to preserve 1t as
relic, It was well understood that the etick
was broken by the first blow. We DO not
know that any spectator is now living.
Brooks's colleague, Mr.. Keitt. and Senator
Douglas were In the chamber. The former was
killed in battle ia the late war In virginia;
the remains Of Douglas rest under his un-
finished monument in Chicago.

FATAL AFERAY NEAR eRAN1EEnn1E
rFrom the Augusta oonssltutionalistl

A difficulty occurred near Graniteville, 8. c.,
last Sunday afternoon, between Messre. John
B. Harriss and JEFF Howard, which resulted in
the killing of the former by the latter. From
what we could learn of the affair, 1t appears
that Mr.. Harriss, whose place adjolns that OF
Mr.. Howard, missed some cotton from pen
In one of his fields. He shortly afterwards
reported about the country that he had traced
the cotton to Mr.. HoWard's gin.house, and
asserted that that gentleman mad stolen It.
This report reached the ears Of Mr.. Howard.
Sunday afternoon the Two men met In the high
way, near Graniteville, and Howard at once
charged Harriss with having spread q false re.
port about him. Harriss replied that he had
made the statement, and added, "D-n you,
am going to kill you" He then got off his
horse, and advanced towards Howard, who,
fearing that his life was In danger, drew his
pistol and fred at Harrlss, who fell. The ball
struck Harriss in the head, and he died al
most Immediately. Howard Left him lying. In
the road, where he was found the next day,
and an ipqnest held. Mr.. Howard had not
been arrested up to yesterday afternoon.
We obtained the above particulars from
gentleman who received them from brother
Of Mr. Howard. Thnreport that Mr. Harrlss
was murdered andthen robbed Is incorrect.

CHRIsr C#pRQH PARISH. November

CHRIsr CHURCH PARISH, November I.
[FRon AN OCCASIONAL CORRESPONDENCE
The interest evlnced by The NEWS In all
that tends to develop our resources, induces
me again to give you sketch of another
working establishment. The plantation be-.
longing to the late Daniel Lesesne, Esq, on
the waters of Hobcaw Creek, about eight
miles from the village of Mount Pleasant, was
leased by Mr.. D. o. Clark, where he has re-
sided for the past two years, and tested Its
healthiness, the second summer being always,
as you are aware, considered as the most
hazardous. The gin-house, Of Two, stories,
thirty by sixty feet, is located on the summit
of plateau, soplng gently to the waters OF
the creek, which affords the means OF trans.
portation for the cotton from the building.
The engine, of ten-horBe power, is located IN
q wing to the rear. This runs three Mccarthy
gins and q whipper, together with grlst mill
and circular saw, which are attached when
necessary. These gins will run out three
bales DAY. The noting roo ns contain three
tables constructed for that purpose, of cylln-
drical rods at which, as many women and
boys as can be accommodated In the assigned
spaces, are always busily disengaging the
NOTES and dust from the lint.
Mr.. Clark Ia man OF work and energy, and
keeps everything on the move about him. He
has one hundred acres In cotton, and there
are sxCy-6ye acres Of the same crop of the
freedmen, of whom there are twenty three
families living on the place, furnishing the
greater portion of the labor required for the
plantation work. The neat and commodious
residence, built and formerly occupied by the
late proprietor, was consumed by fire about
1866, and Its tall chimneys now mark the spot
once the abode Of happiness and refined
hospitality. Mr.. Clark mas been resident In
the city and this vicinity for twenty years,
and although native of the wintry scenes oi
q higher latitude, his heart and hands are
warm and active for the prosperity of the
home OF his adoption. KAPPA.

The President to-day received many cslls Of
cougratulation In addition to numerous tsle-t !
grams of greeting. He expressed thsukstoa
his guests for these manifestations Of friend-7
ship, and apart from the political Issues In
volved, said that he was gratifed that the
people had vlndicated his private character,
which had been assailed during the canvass, !,
1t Ia too early to anticipate the Preafdents

That there will be at least one change In
the Cabinet at the commencement OF che
next Presidential term there is no question. I
It is known that Secretary Fish has repeated,
Iy expressed bis wish to be relieved from the
position of secretary of State. Thistdesire
will be gratifed at the end Of thepredentl
term. There is no probability Of 9 change OF,

Major Orr read now from 18th Law Journal,
the case Of the Gerrlngs; also Foster & Fur
diason, I'd VOL, Queen vs. Law, 8S8, as proving
that mothers had been convicted of the nur-
der of their children. The jury held the
scales between the accused and the Common
wealth, and the community looked to them
for 8 decislon,of this important question. Upon
that decision the safety OF human lie rests,
and the public demands that no morbid senti-
mentality shall protect murderers In secret.
Ia conclusion, Major Orr earnestly besought
the jury TO 80 act between the State Of Virginia
and Mrs. Lloyd, that they would have In after
lie the happy reflection that they had faithful
~ performed their duty.
During this address to the jury Mrs.
Lloyd had turned her back on the speaker and
pretended to be reading newspaper.
Powell Harrison then addressed the Jury for
the defence, holding that the Commonwealth
had to prove, frat, that Maud Lloyd was poIs-
Oned, and, secondly, that the prisoner had
thus murdered her. The analysis had been
made either by incompetent or untrustworthy
chemists, and the arsenic found In the body
could be accounted for BY the presence OF
arsenic 10 the bismuth given as medicine by
DR.: Mott. He wished the Jury to discredit
Delphi Lazenbury's testimony because she had
several times contradicted herself. There
was arsenic In the house, and there was no
need OF supposlng the mother to have muir
dered the child when that child might have
got the arsenic Itself. The motive was Insult.
cient also. In short, there was no case for
the prosecution. Judge Keith then briefly
reviewed the case, and told the jury, "It, upon
the whole evidence In the CAGE, there Is any
rational hypothesis consistent with the inno-
cence of the accused, she cannot be con-
victed." .-s...-s...a.
The jury was absent but few minutes, and
brought In verdict OF not guilty, and Judge
Keith, In dlscharglng the jury, said that II 1t
would be any satisfaction to them to know his
opinion, he thought their verdict warranted
by the evidence. And 80 ends this trial,
which has excited more interest than any ever
held In this section of the country.

COLUMBIA, November 6.
The State Board of Csnvsssers met to-day
at the ststshouse, and organized for the pur-

the State election. An objection was raised
to the seating of William B. Jeryey, who as
chairman of The house committee on privl-
leges and elections, Is &c o6lcio member OF

that Jervey, being candidate for senator

competent 10 sit as Judge on his own cause.
After some argument by counsel for and
aga,nst Jervey, the board adjourned untllto-
morrow morning. sANTEE.

The Tribune gives Grant 2s2 electoral votes
at the lowest estimate, and Greeley 70 electo-
raj votes, CHASING the rest as doubtful. and 1t
estimates Grants popular majority at 500, 600.
The following passages are extracted from its
editorial comments: The defeat is due to the.
Democracy surrendering to Greeley. The de-.
moralizstion coneequenrn upon the New York
ring speculations q. year or two ago GA-
heartened the party and caused the nom-
iuaiion at Baltimore. That party had not re-
covered from the Tammany. .taint In time To-
do anything until too late. The Lberal Re-
publican strength In North Carolina, Vermont
and Maine was nearly neutralized by those
Democrats who would not ''eat crow when
they could get from five to twenty dollars Tor
The Herald,s election estimates give to
Grant twenty-eight States, and 10 Greeley
eight, or two hundred and slxty-eight electoral,
votes for Grant to ninety for Greeley. The
popular majority for Grant is placed at tnree
hundred and fifty thousand.
The Times gives Grant three hundred cleo
toral votes, and Greeley only forty-three5 With

COLUMBIA, November 6.
The third day Of the State Fair has proved a
decided success. The attendance was very
large, and In spite Of the light showers that
fell at Intervals during the day the grounds
and buildings were crowded with visitors.
The forenoon was devoted TO the committees
examination, in the arena, of all the cattle on
exhibition and the display of halter-led horses
and mules. The decisions of the judges were
made at the examination, and the prize anil
mails were indicated by attaching ribbons.
The show of cattle exceeds that of any pre-.
vious year, and the display of horses was
fully up to that at any preceding fair. During
tho day there were spirited ploughlng and
narrowing matches. Mr.. @. Graveley, of
Charleston, carries of the palm for sub-soil
pIoughs, and Nessrs. J.. E. Adger & Co., of
Charleston, for rotary harrows. Other
Charleaen manufacturers were highly com.
mended. There ls prospect of an Increased
attendance tomorrow If the weather be
favorable.
The running races this afternoon, for
purse of one hundred dollars, mile heats, best
two in three, was won by Bacon's Bob Shell
ton In two straight heats; time, 1881 and
1:s23. The trotting match, one mile dash,
for my dollars, was won by J. N. Talbot.
The ball at the Nlckerson House, of the
South Carolina Social Club, is brilliant and
highly successful affair. All the elite of the
