USING TIE KEEL 1--WE FOR OUK ExPEN-
sEs.-Dispatches state that on the 23d
a large nupabsr If persons visited Pres
ident Grant and. asked about the con-
tents G. his let ter to a Bank President
in New Your; that the President ere
per.ted his tt rmer remarks, namely,
That, in add ition to what had already
been done / y the Government, the only
way of relic # was for the Government
to buy excl range; but exchange could
not now be bought, as the Government
has no rse for it. having already pur-
chased enc ugh on London for tho Navy

purposes. Ttere is no intention, he
further re marked. to draw on the $44,-

rent sxpe nses of the Government. Tho
money wi II be used for no otherpurpose.
1t has nc " been eight years since tho
close of the war. 1t has been and is
claimed by the Republican party, in
whose b ands the administration of the
country has been during that time, that
finances of the country have been we'll
adm inis tered, its resources properly ap
piled, nd its prosperity unsxampled.
And no consider the fact that We are
drawing on the S44, ,0O0,O reserve to
meet Thea current expenses of the Gov
srnment.. Lawfully or unlawfully, it is
to this necessity that the Government is
forced. Its financial policy has been
the be asst of the Administration and its
admir- ers. The fruits of that policy we
are n ow reaping, in the extremity to
whic' the Government has been reduc-
ed a, I'd the unusual panic and ruin in
whit n the people are involved After
this shallwe be again told that the Pres
ider it is turning his attention to finances?
Is t not high time that the people turn
their attention to finances; that they put
a stop in some way to the prof1igacy and
N mal-administration which have brought
be country into this sea Of trouble ?.

~The Land Office at Olympia has
Just received map from the Csmmis-
sioner showing the line of withdrawal Of
lands in this district, to correspond with
tbe line of the proposed branch of the
Northern Pacific Railroad. The line is
marked to come through the Skagit
Pass, running thence northwest to TIP.
No. 80 North, Range 9 East; from thence
southerly to point on the Snohomish
river about 10 miles above Mukelteo;
from thence south between Lakes Sam
ish and Washington on to crossing on
White river, about 9 miles above its
iunction with Black river, and from
thence nearly direct to Tacoma. There
is little change in the lands to be with
drayn, e1cers that San Juan and ada
cent islands are released. A strip of land
9 miles wide and 20 long, near
4 Port Discovery, is also released. An
s examination Of the map would naturally
\ lead to the conclusion that the first
q, v,iithdrawal had included all the lands

that this one was made to cover the

RELATIVE TO FRUIT DrsTILLERIEs.-Com-
missioner Douglass has just issued a circular
to collectors instructing them that, before fruit
distillers of their respective districts COM
mence operations for the season, they are re.
quested to comply with instructions being for
warded.
Among other things it is ordered that the
bond of each distiller must be approved on or
before the day of commencing work, and un-
der no circumstances should any distiller be
allowed to commence before such approval
The true survey of each distillery must be
made and delivered to the distiller on or be-
fore the day of commencing operations
Where distiler wishes to run on an old sur
vey, collectors will notify the commissioner Of
the fact, together with the date of such sur
vey In case of change in the ownership
of the distillery, when the distiler wishes to
continue operations under the capacity as sur
veyed before the change, the collector will for
ward to the internal revenue bureau his ex-
pense of the survey upon which the former
owner operated said distillery. AS soon as
the correct date can be obtained, he will for
ward also notice showing the date of his ap-
proval of each distllers bond in his district,
together with copy of survey registered on
form 26 and notice on form 27!.
They will instruct distillers to make their
monthly reports on form 10 promptly and
with care, showing the time operated each day
correctly also the quantity and character of
materials used, &c.

killed 127 people; and, in Nayduka, tiger,
in 1867, 1868 and 1869, killed, respectively,
twenty-seven, thirty-four and forty:seven peo'
pie. 1t would attacka party and kill four or
five at a time Once it killed father, a
mother and three children, and the week be-
fore it was shot it killed seven people. 1t is
stated there are shikarries, or hunters, whose
business it is to kill these animals, and who
receive rewards for doing so, but they have no
desire to kill off all of them and thus cut off
their source of living. The English Gov
ernment now proposes to enroll body ofmen
for this purpose, and to make systematic
slaughter of the tigers, wolves, panthers, leop-
ards and hyenas, until they are exterminated.

general throughout the State, and still seem to
prevail, which may improve the crops.
Though it is now impossible to ascertain to
what extent the caterpillar has existed, about
an average crop will be secured, and no serious
damage is expected from this quarter. The
corn crop is generally reported fine, and the
other cereals have turned out we'll. A good
deal of cotton has been abandoned on account
of the grass.
But few reports come from South Carolina.
The heavy and continuous rains in the early
summer have caused an abandonment of cot
ton on some lands, though not to any consid-
erable extent. The crops are backward here,
as in Alabama, but later accounts are more
encouraging, and an average crop will perhaps
be made

which Wilcox, Gibbs & Co. sued the South
Carolina Railroad for the value of six bags of
guano, which they alleged was lost through
the negligence of the road The important
question was, when did the responsibility OF
the railroad cease? The jury decided that if
the consignee failed to remove it in reason
able time after being notified of its arrival, it
remained at the depot at the assignees risk.
The decision was in favor of the defendant.
The people of Camden are excited on the
subject of the Cheraw and Chester Railroad,
which they fear will cut off considerable
portion of the trade of that town. A CORES.
pondent in the last number of the Camden
Journal thinks that railroad from that place
to Chester will avoid this evil. The route
would not exceed fifty miles, is on the right
bank of the Wateree and Catawba rivers to
the mouth of Rocky creek at Rocky Mount,
thence up Rocky Creek to Chester 1t
would develop fine section of country.
The Chester Reporter of last week says
"a change of schedule on the Charlotte, Co.
lumbia and Augusta Railroad went into ope'
ration on last Saturday, by which, time is
given to passengers going South to get break
fast at the Nicholson Hotel in this town. We
are glad on Mrs. Nicholson's account that the
change has been made, and the travelling
public has great reason to congratulate itself
on the arrangement, as there is no eating
house from Maine to Texas, nor from New
York to San Francisco, where the weary way
farer can more surely and more satisfactorily
refresh himself"
- The Rock Hill Lantern of Saturday last,
says: "On Tuesday evening last,in this town,
two men by the name of Steele and Gordon,
become engaged in quarrel. Abusive Ian
guage was made use of by both parties. Cor
don used improper language about Steeles
wife, when Steele "went for him" with pock-
ct knife. The throat was the place of attack,
and had the knife penetrated an eighth of an
inch deeper, funeral would have been the
consequence. Drs. Edwards and Johnston
sewed up the wound and Gordon went his
way rejoicing. Steele gave security for his
appearance before the Trial Justice and went
home"
The Chester Reporter of last week says {:
"a meeting of the taxpayers Of Baton Rouge
Towsnhip was held on Saturday last at the
store of Mr.. II. G. Brawley, at Carmel Hill,
for the purpose of levying tax for school
purposes. The meeting was largely attended
by white men, but only few of the negroes
of the township we're present. After discus
sion it was resolved to levy tax of fifteen
hundred dollars-to be collected on the taxa
BILE polls in the township, instead Of by an as
sessment on the taxable property, as is usually
the case. The trustees were empowered to
use the fund so raised for educational purposes
as to their judgments might seem best. The
Board of Trustees of Baton Rouge township
is composed of Mr.. H. C. Brawley, Columbus
Crawford and Alexander Robins-the two
last are colored.'

THE CIRCUIT COURT.

The recent special term of the Circuit Court
adjourned on Friday evening last, after trans
acting great deal of business and ridding
the docket of many suits which had been
pending for several years. Judge Mackey is
prompt in the discharge of the duties of pre-
siding officer of the Court, and as we have
had occasion to remark heretofore, discharges
his duties in a manner satisfactory to counsel
and clients.
At the time of closing our last report, the
suit of F. M. Walker, surviving Administra-
tor, ys. Mijamin R. Smith and others, brought
on note given for the purchase of slave in
December, 1862, was progressing. The case
was decided in favor of the defendants. Mo-
ton was made for a new trial, which was
granted.
Besidessev cases disposed of on action in
debt, the following are of more general inter-
est:
Reuben Dulin U.s. L. Lineberger & Co., in
volving claim for cotton sold defendants
Suit was brought to recover the value Of eight
bales at 81 cents per pound. The verdict Of
the jury was for but II cents, the price at the
time payment was rendered.
F.M. Galbraith vs. Stowe & Martin. For
hire of slave in 1866. Judgment for plaintiff
for the sum of $115 and interest from Janua-
ry 1st, 1866.
Perry & Co., of Albany, N. Y, vs. ]. w.
Neal. Suit for claim of S172. Judgment
for $855.
Lieut.. F. F. Whitehead u.s. VIM. German,
proprietor of Columbia Hotel. Suit brought
to recover value of valise and contents lost
at the said hotel. Judgment in favor of
plaintiff for S141.50.
Charlotte R. and B. j. Cureton, Executors,
vs. A. E. Hutchison. Suit brought to recover
the rental money for lease of the Howie or
Stockton gold mine in Union county, N. G.
This was long and tedious case, occupying
near day and half in the hearing. Judg-
ment in favor of plaintiffs for $4,4S1.64.
The motion to grant new trial to S. B. Hall,
convicted for official misconduct, was overruled,
and he was sentenced to Imprisonment in the
county Jail for twelve months and to pay a
fine of one thousand dollars. Counsel for de-
fendant gave notice ofappeal to the Supreme
Court
Up to the time of adjournment, Judge
Mackey had not announced his decision in
the railroad injunction case.

RIOT AT FORT MILL.

For several days rumors have been in cir
culation to the effect that party of negroes
had been making threats and demonstrations
of serious character against the citizens OF
Fort Mill; but as the various reports were
conflicting, we were unable last week to pro-
cure a correct version of the affair. The
gang were committed to the county Jail on
Sunday evening last and we learn that the
difficulty originated on Saturday the 18th
instant, in an attempt by the policeman of
Fort Mill to arrest a negro named Chap.
McKinna, who was drunk and disorderly.
McKinna resisted the policeman and evaded
arrest, but not without receiving several
blows from the policeman's club. This SO
exasperated the negro that after leaving the
village, he organized band of ten comrades,
who, armed with axes, picks and perhaps a
few guns, returned to the vicinity of the town,
and on Monday "went into camp" notifying
the citizens and the authorities that they in
tended to have revenge for the treatment their
leader, Chap. McKinna, had received on the
Saturday previous.
There being no acting trial justice in that
township, application was made to c. j. Pride,
trial justice at Rock Hill, for warrant,
which was granted and placed in the hands
of negro named Francis Davie, to serve.
The negro constable was accompanied by M.
L. Owens, one of the members of the Legisla'
ture from this county, and in due course OF
time they returned from their mission with
the statement that they had seen the negroes,
who had dispersed, promising to create no
further disturbance This course proving un-
satisfactory to the citizens Of Fort Mill, and,
as we understand, the threats being continued,
on Thursday last the facts were communica-
ted to Sheriff Glenn and also to Justice Pride,
who was in this place attending Court. Judge
Mackey had also learned of the affair, and he
directed the trial justice to return at once
and command his constable to make the ar
rests as ordered in the warrant; to bring the
offenders up for trial ) and if, after investiga'
ton, the magistrate should deem the offense
of nature to justify further proceedings, to
bind the guilty parties over to Court. Ac'
cordingly, the arrests were again ordered to
be made, and on Saturday last the case was
fully investigated by trial justice Pride, who
bound the rioters over to Court, and in de-
fault of bail, as above stated, they were COM
mitted to the Jail in this place on Sunday
last The names of the offenders are Chap.
McKinna, Lun McKinna, Jim Crockett, An
thony Springs, Lewis Webb, Isaac Robinson,
Eli Roddy, Allison Faulkner, Chas Watson,
Hiram Roddy and Jack Hutchinson.

THE CHESTER AND LENo1R RAILROAD
A. H. Davega, Esq, President of the Ches-
ter and Lenoir Marrow Gauge Railroad Com
pany, reached home on Tuesday morning, and
brings with him the most cheering accounts
of the prospects of the enterprise over which
he presides. The survey was completed to
Lenor more than ten days ago, and the corps
has reached as far as Lincolnton in surveying
another line back to Yorkville. As soon as
this is concluded the final survey for the loca-
ton of the road will begin. The route sur
veyed on the way to Lenoir is said to be not
only entirely practicable, but a most eligible
one for the construction Of a railroad at very
small cost There are no heavy grades on
the whole route, with the exception of the two
last miles entering Lenoir, and these are not
such as to occasion any serious difficulty and
it is said that there are good many miles
that will require no grading at all to prepare
them for the track. The statement that the
route surveyed ma kes the distance longer
than it is by the wagon road, is pronounced
by President Davega to be entirely erroneous.
The distance from Yorkville to Lenoir is
eighty miles both by the survey and by the
dirt road. Catawba and Caldwell counties
vote in August on the question of subscribing
100000 each, to the capital stock Of the
road. In Caldwell, the people are all Of one
mind on the question and the subscription
will be made almost without a dissenting
vote In Catawba there has been considera-
BILE opposition to the county subscription, but
it has greatly abated of late, and there isvery
little doubt entertained of the proposition
being favorably voted upon by the people,
