SOUTH CAROLINA.
A White Lady Dragged to Jail by a
Negro Constable.
Chester Is. c. Reporter, Oct, %

Chester Is. c. Reporter, Oct %
On Saturday afternoon last we wit
messed on the streets of Chester a sight
which we had thought never to have
seen. We saw a respectable uhite
lady being dragged to jail by a negro
constable, for an alleged contempt of a
negro court.
The lady was Mrs. VIM. NJ. Robins,
and the circumstances under which this
shameful indignity was perpetrated up
on her were las follows: She had been
arrested upon warrant issued by B.
F. Michael, negro trial justice, upon
the complaint of one Nathan McAliley,
another negro, that she had made an
assault upon him. In obedience to the
arrest she appeared at the trial Justices
Office accompanied by her counsel, Gen.
w. A. Walker. While the bond for
her appearance for trial was being
prepared she and her counsel were
standing at the door of the Office con-
versing. Mrs. Robins remarked that
she was done with niggers on her plan
tation, that they gave her so much
trouble that she did not intend to have
any more of them about her. At this
Michael flew into rage. accused her of
having insulted him, and ordered that
she should be confined in the common
jail of the county for twelve hours for
contempt of his court. In vain did she
disclaim having said a word about the
court; in vain did she deny any purpose
to insult the trial justice; in vain her
counsel, Gen. Walker, assured the trial
justice that the remark had no reference
to either him or his court; the commit
ment was written out, placed in the
hands of Isom Grier, a negro, and
orders given to him to carry the
prisoner to Jail. The poor woman
was led off terror stricken at the idea
of being incarcerated in jail, and at the
unparalleled outrage that was being
perpetrated upon her; and this mani
festation of fear on her part gave occa-
sion to a crowd of savage and fiendish
negro women to gather around the
Constable and exult in the spectacle.
The husband of the unfortunate lady
could think of nothing else to do than
to run to Judge Mackey for assistance
The Judge came upon the scene and by
some means induced Michael to coun-
termand his order and discharge the
prisoner.
This is the plain, unvarnished story.
We will not trust ourself to make any
comments; but will leave it for every
man who reads it to indugle in such re-
Elections as the bare recital Of the facts
may call up in his breast.

MATTE STEVENSON INDUSTRIAL
HOME.

So many correspondents have written
to us suggesting the establishment of a
large orphan asylum as a permanent
monument to the memory of Matte
Stevenson, that we are constrained to
urge it upon the attention of the citi-
Zens' executive committee, the Howard
As ISOLATION and the committee charged
with raising money to erect a monument
commemorative of the sweet young
life that was expended for our poor
Such an institution would be a glorious
memento of the martyr girl, and all the
other martyrs that gave their lives that
we might live and would be a continual
ton of the work they died in the per-
Torrance of. 1t would be practical, and
we believe, if the dead could speak,
would be just what they could wish, and
would advise. Let us have a Matte
Stevenson Industrial Home" for the
orphans bereft of their parents by the
yellow-fever. Let us hear from the
practical and noble conductors of our
relief committees.-Mempkis appeal.

THE CINCINNATI SOUTHERN RAIL.

From the Cincinnati Commercial, Nov. 1.
The settlement of details and prelimina-
Tie5 necessarily preceding the construction
of the Cincinnati Southern Railway, is be-
ing prosecuted with great yigOr. None of
the various steps Of railroad construction is
attended with more complication and eX-
penSe than the adjustments of rights of
way. As an indication of the liberalitv
with which the landowners and residents
along the several routes surveyed for the
road are responding to the application of
the Trustees for land grants and right of
way donations, we may mention that the
Roane Iron Company have, within the past
few DAYS, conveyed to the road ten acres of
land in the city of Chattanooga and
twenty at lockwood, for depot and
other railway purposes, together with
fifteen hundred acres Of excellent coal and
timber lands near the line of the road in
ROane county, Tenn.-being portion
Of the tract which that company has so sue
ceSSfully wOTked-and the right Of way
through the entire land owned by the COM
pauy, which embrace over fifteen miles of
the line Of the Tennessee Valley survey.
John Stambaugh and associates, Of YOungS-
town, Ohio, have also recently conveyed to
the Trustees ten acres of ground in Chat
tanooga for depot and shop purposes, and
ten acres at Clear Creek, in Rhea county,
Tenn, for depot grounds andyards, besides
donating the right of way through their en-
tire lands in that county. Ii is difficult to
even approximate the money value of these
donations, but Sl50,000 is a safe estimate.
The donation, free Of all expenses to the
Trustees, Of the right Of way along the Ten
noSsec Valley route, is now about COM

Editors Union and American:
JACKSON, Tenn, Nov. I'm a previous
letter l briefly referred to the successful
opening of the Fair of the West Tennessee
Agricultural and Mechanical Association at
this place. The third, fourth and fifth DAYS
of the Fair Were continued with renewed
interest. The weather throughout was de-
iightful, and the ladies were out daily in
full force, the amphitheatre being denselv
packed with the fairest daughters of old
Madison. A great many visitors from ad-
jacent counties and other portions of the
State were present during the week.
The Floral Hall, under the supervision
of Capt. CaTutheTS, was handsomely ar
ranged. Among the notable features in
this department, We noticed two of the
handsomest quilts probably ever placed on
exhibition in Tennessee, both of silk, and
machine stitched. Miss Susan Caldwell.
OF Russellville, KY, secured the premium,
and MIS-. w. A. HALEY, of jackson, Tenn,
the certificate. A very handsome display
OF saddles was that made by L. y. Wright.
of this place, and w. ID. Robinson also of
this place, was complimented on all sides
for his elegant display Of furniture. Con-
sidcring everything, we do Tot think the
Floral Hall could be surpassed by any in
the country.
The Fair from first TO last was a grand
success, both to the people in attendance
and to the stockholders. Everything in
fact, passed off in the most agreeable man
her. Your correspondent feels under
many obligations to Mr.. Charles w.
Greene, the courteous Secretary, for faYors
shown him during his stay.
The Gilbert Sisters have been here dur
ing the week and playedto crowded houses.
Before closing, allow me to make men,
ton of the Shropshire House, a new hotel
erected here recently. A. B. Shropshire is
the proprietor, and the genial Tom Hooker
is chief clerk. This hotel is au honor to
the City Of Jackson and We know of no
other place in the country where the sin
ner man" meets with better reception.

Breadsfuffs Review.

fTOln Une Now 1OTK bulletin, NOV. l.
The general market for breadstuffs for the
week ending Oct. 80 has exhibited very
little change, the fluctuations in prices hav-
ing been very moderate, with fair but not
burdensome' supply, and a steady though
not active demand. The only exceptions
to this have been in oats, for which there
was mOmentary activity for speculative
purposes after a decline, and in wheat,
which for one day was really active, especi-
all for Milwaukee, which was thrown on
the market more plentifully in consequence
Of the failure of an export house to take the
wheat on their contracts for this months
delivery. 1t would naturally be expected
that decline would be the result of such a
condition, but the reverse in the end was
the case; for after receding 1a2c, exporters
wants compelled them to have goods, and
they were really glad to avail themselves of
the occasion to fill orders, which the light
supply Of that grade had rendered difficult;
so much had been sold ahead as to absorb
the entire receipts, or nearly so. This
happened also very opportunely to the ship
pers for another reason. The supply of
Chicago wheat and Iowa, by both rail and
canal, has not been so large, and had all the
Milwaukee been taken on contract, as for
the past month, there would not have been
enough arriving to fill new orders with, and
receivers might in such a case have been
able to demand higher rates. So that this
appears to be the effect and extent of a fail
ure which might have been expected to do
much harm. The only loss thus sustained
by the trade here is the difference between
the contract price of wheat for October, and
the cash price, which was as 81. 45a1. AS to
S1.35a1.3S, declined Of 1Oc per bushel,
which the seller has sustained. But the
amount still undeliyered at the time of the
failure had been so reduced as to cause no
serious results here, and probably not more
than 100000 bushels, if that, are comprom-
ised. Export trade for the week has been
quite moderate, however, as compared with
the early part of the season; for in addition
10 the lower. rates Of exchange, shippers
have had higher ocean freights TO contend
with, and all this has been deducted here
