J. 4. Sel6y. Esq, Columbia. s. C.
DEAR SIR: It is refreshing to the lovers
of right and justice to read such an
article as appears in the PHGN1x, of July
23d. headed "Indiot the Thieves"
I Inotice also report OF the trial, so
far as it has gone, OF the effort to FORGE
the Greenville and Columbia Railroad
Into bankruptcy. Why wasn't D. T.
Oorbin put upon the stand and inquired
Of from whom;did you feoeiSe your re-.
tainer in this oase2 The toilers in ini-
guilty also came to the surface in the
Continental Telegraph charter forgery
and swindle. Two-thirds of the Cont
mental Telegraph charter belong to me
and my son. No legal assignment has
ever been made; no consideration has
been paid, unless lying be considera.

purports to be an assignment Of the
charter, which names 1887, 500 in second
mortgage bonds of the Greenville and
Columbia Railroad Company as O consi-
deration, denounce it forgery in it's
entirety, and whoever perpetrated it
must answer in the courts, as will not
allow my name used for any purpose
without my knowledge or consent, end
especially made the basis of damnable
fraud.
You are quite right in again raising
the cry, ''To the courts" There is your
only hope. There is the only place your
people, the bond holders and the public
can ever know the amount and extent of
the swindle. The registry gag will never
do it, and if the Financial Agent of South
Carolina means honesty, he will come to
the front, bring his books with him, and
it would not be amiss. perhaps, to bring
E. X. Wizards along at the same time.
In the event Of failure of both to
make satisfactory showing, I will volun-
teer to exhibit some figures and facts
which they, in the hurry of business,
have possibly omitted to put down on
paper. At all events, am confident OF
being able to illuminate the dark places,
should we chance to fall upon any in the
course of the examination. 10 the
courts, then, if you would right your
wrongs, and your own people must take
the initiatory steps; and If they will, /
think you will find not only sympathy,
but substantial aid. from this quarter.
At all events, your chances are more than
even to make ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS out OF
the Ishmaelites who are permitted by
President Grant to prey upon you. Truly
yours, VIM. Nj. HALL,
Merchants and Underwriters Ag't,

The New York Herald says: ''It is re-
ported that President Grant intends
soon to make trip down the St. Law
renee to see the charms of its thousand
islands, and experience the excitement
of passing through its rushing rapids
Judging by the reports from North Ca
rolina, it would appear that he might
find enough of excitement and suspense
in the tumultuous current of it's near
election. Wisdom should urge him to
devote his present attention to the
mighty food of public sentiment which
is now settling the question of his re-
election in November, or such defeat
as will allow him plenty of leisure in the
future to become acquainted with Cana
dian geography. Rocks and quicksands
threaten the life of his political fortunes
in the shape of improper and unfit Cabi-
net ministers and officers in high sta
ton, in whom honest men have no con-
fdence. Their removal should have
more interest to the chief executive than
a pleasure excursion. His first task
should be to rescue himself from the
hands of politicians and carpet baggers,
and take his proper place as the leader
of the people,"

SOUTH CAROLINA TO ELECT CALDWELL.
An influential citizen of Sumter, South
Carolina, writes us private letter. in
which lie states that numbers of negroes
will be transported into this State from
the Palmetto State by Caldwell and his
friends to carry the election. We make
an extract:
"a gentleman was in our Office few
days ago on professional business, and
in the course of conversation on general
topics, said that his employees at steam
saw mill, on the line of the Wilmington,
Columbia and Augusta Railroad, had
asked permission to 60 to Wilmington
on the first of August He also said
that only few of these negroes were
from North Carolina, the rest being from
South Carolina. r have no doubt that
every railroad running into your State
will be worked to ite full capacity to fur.

Such is the programme. You know
what to expect. Prepared This sort of
thing must not be tolerated Guard the
registration books and the polls with a
vigilant eye. Challenge every man that
comes from South Carolina. Don't let
Us be cheated ont of our rights. It is
time for this old Radical trick to be 80

INDIAN AFFAIRS. s.-ToRoNTo, July 25.-
The following advices have been received
from Fort Garry. Manitoba: The Indian
Commissioner. Mr.. Simpson, returned
to-day from Fort Francis, where he had
been attempting to make a treaty with
the Indians. His efforts were entirely
unsuccessful; for thirteen days he was
surrounded by about $500 savages, who
would neither entertain nor make propo-
sitions in regard to treaty. The gold
developments in the Shebondawin coun-
try have filed the Indians with ideas too
lofty for, an approach, Mr.. Simpson is
confident that unless military force is
provided there will be serious trouble
The Indians told him that they proposed
to stop mining operations.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 25.-Letters from

peace, but as they represented only u
portion Of tribes numbering over / 200
warriors, they were evidently impelled
by the movements of troops under Gen.
Crook. They were informed that they

could not show the white flag. retaining
their arms and drawing their rations,

1t is reported that the President and
Secretary Boutwell,, during the conside-
ration of the question as to what super
visors should be retained, had discus
sion which was both lcng and acrid.
The President desired to retain for the
Missouri aud Arkansas District an old
personal friend, General Mcdonald.
Secretary Boutwell, desired to retain DR..
Presbury of the Virginia District.
Presbury was obno1ious to Senator
Lewis, on account of the former insist
ing upon conducting his Office and maxi
ing his own appointments, or at least re-.
fusing to make those demanded by the
Senator. Lewis wanted Presbury de-
posed, but Boutwell, said he was faith
full, capable and honest man, and his
services were needed. The discussion,
it is said, was resumed this morning
The result is, that both Presbury and
Mcdonald are dropped from the lists.
It is represented here publicly, and by
responsible persons, that the board OF
public works have discharged workmen
who were in favor of Greeley's election,
and made it known that none bnt Grant
men would be employed.

ANDERSON, THE ALLEGED BANK SWIM
DLER.-The Savannah Neaos is in posses
sion of information that reveals an
amount of financial ability" on tho part
of j. NJ. Anderson, the alleged bunk
swindler, who was arrested in Macon,
that is rather astonishing. The Govern
or-General of the Dominion of Canada
has made requisition on President
Grant for the person of this individual.
Dispatches were sent to Macon to retain
him at all hazards, but reached there
after he had been discharged. He is
charged with forgeries on the Bank Of
British America to the amount of 928, 900
sterling, equivalent to $l58, 900.
The Macon Telegraph and Messenger
learns that. in all probability, reward
of at least 1000 will be offered for An
derson's apprehension. It says:
'"To those who wish to aid in ridding
the State of an impostor, and at the
same time gain handsome reward, the
following description will be OF assist

Baltimore has water famine, or is
threatened with one. One section of the
city has been so greatly annoyed by the
impurities that nearly all have discarded
the hydrant water, except for washing
and other household purposes. Persons
may be found who actually believe that
several dead bodies OF persons who had
died with smallpox have been thrown
into the Roland Lake, in Baltimore
County. The water is scarce, the ponds
being low, and smells badly.

Dorr1Nas.-Grant' Ku

The News says: ~. T. Mahorney, CO.
lored Greeley man, was assaulted. yester.
day evening. by some roughs Of his own
race, on account of his political express
sions OF opinion. The colored voters,
under the. leadership of DR.. Elbert and
Russell, are ruling with high hand,
and detection of one of their number,
because of desire for free speech or
FREQ thought, is severely punished.
In conversation with an old friend,
Daniel Drew recently said: II tell all my
friends that We have got to vote and
work for the old fellow. He is an honest
man. and the only one that can beat
Grant" He said that it was mistaken
idea that the Wall street bankers and
brokers were not for Horace Greeley,
and assured his friend that they we're all
for Greeley and Brown. "Bet your
money on Horace" said the old fnan-
oier, ''if you want to win."
Conkling's mendacity lie equaled only
by his audacity. He defends Grant on
all the counts. He defends his nepotism.
He defends his gift-taking. He defends
his seaside lettering. He admits every
thing and endorses everything. It is
this bad tendency-this moral vicious
ness-this open depravity-confessed
and extolled by Conkling and Morton,
both OF whom are men of the lowest
order of moral tone, and each Of whom
is the fit tool and toady OF the President
which shocks and disgusts the better
sense OF the country with Grantism.
All advices from Maine point to a
Greeley triumph in both the September
and November elections. Even the de-
feat of Speaker Blaine for Congress, in
the Augusta district, is hinted at; and
in the Eastern district, Hale's defeat is
certain. There is a prospect that ex-
Governor Chamberlain will accept the
Greeley nomination in the Portland dis
trict, in which case he would surely
carry it. The Portland argus, in lead
ing editorial, significantly and boldly re-
marks that Maine will cast it's electoral
vote for Greeley, and adds: ga few
weeks will bring developments 20 make
this plain to all, as it is now to u.s."
Another prominent New York Repub-
lican politician, the Hon. E. B. Pottle,
OF Ontario County, has left the ranks OF
the Grant party. Mr.. Pottle has served
two terms in Congress, and was mem.
Der of the last Grant State Convention
at Elmira. This form of ''concomity''
in the denomination party is becoming
chronic.

The New York Tribune makes the fol.
lowing reply to the paragraph which
Mr.. Greeley's enemies credit him with in
relation to beggaring the South at the
close of the war:
1. That many bitter things we're said
by all Of US at that bitter time. just after
the attack on Sumter and the Baltimore
massacre, which would not have been
said in November, 1850. 2. That the
words in question were part of an edito.
rial urging a stringent blockade fot. the
purpose OF shortening the war, and that
with their context they do not seem
''savage" so much as extravagant!y rho-
torioal. 8. That whatever they are. Mr.
Greeley did not write them, did not ap.
prove them, and never saw them until
after they were printed. 4. That they
were written, as we have since ascer-
tained, by gentleman who is now q
jealous as well as able supporter Of Pre-.
sident Grant. and q leading editor of the
Erening Post.
