The LaurenS Rail Road.

In the United States Circuit Court,
in the matter of the Laurcns Railroad,
bankrupt, the order Of Judge Bryan
was confirmed, except in so far as it
may be necessary to modify the same
so as to extend the time for the com-
pletion of the railroad within six
months, and that the purchaser pay to
Joseph Crews, the petitioner, his pro-
portion of the purchase money, and
that the petitioner pay the cost Of the
proceedings.
From the above it will be under
stood that the proprietorship is settled.
1t is not positive whether it is owned
by the G. l. c. or the S. c. Il. r.,
but it matters not. One thing is GER
tain, Uncle Joseph is out And ano-
ther, that Col. Peake has been over
the line, and having made his estimates,
is ready to commence work as soon as
he can get the timber delivered to him
at the points which he shall designate.
Col. Peake told US on Thursday last
that he would commence almost i'm
mediately, and thatif he has no serious
drawbacks in weather, that he will
have communication between Laurens
and Newbcry by the middle of June
next. As soon as he can get over the
first trestle he will have train fur
nished him by President AIagrath, of
the S. G. Road, and after that the
work Will be plain sailing. COL ?. is
an experienced railroad man, and We
have no doubt he will be able to make
good his promise. We take this oc-
casion to congratulate the people of
Laurens and along the line of soon
having railroad, desideratum long
wished for.

Publishers Gard.

With the January number the paid up term
Of many subscribers will expire, and We take
this occasion 70 remind them Of the fact, and
at the same time request renewal of sub
scription. We would rather not discontinue
the paper, but il is found by long experience
that it is the best course to pursue, for it
saves no little trouble, great deal Of morti-
fcation, and much loss. We shall feel much
gratifed j. every subscriber will renew as
soon aS notified, and not only send us their
subscription, but prevail on some friend and
neishbor, who is not subscriber to become
one. Every new name added 70 the SUBJ
scription list encourages the publisher to re-
newed efforts to please, and if the list be
largelyincrcased, ,irwill enable him 20 make the
paper the more inter ting. Renew promptly,
friend. and remember that the only ter rs on
which the paper is sent ont is cash il ad-
vance.
Please bear in mind that we pay the post
age after January, and that hereafter this
annoyance and expense is spared you.

SoutE, Carolina Conference.

The South Carolina Conference Of
the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, convened in Greenville, on
Wednesday last. Bishop Marvin pre-
sided. The opening services were SOL
enln!y impressive. Court was ad-
journed that the House might be oc-
cupied by Conference. We learn that
the opening sermon was delivered by
the Rev. Z. J. Meynardic, D. D., iG
the Methodist Church, from the 18th
verse of the twenty-frst chapter of
Paul to the Corinthians, and notwith-
standing the inclcmeut weather which
prevailed, the Church was crowded.
Bishop Marvin it is said has captiva-
ted the hearts of all.
Conference adjourned on Monday
night, and it is rumored that the Rev.
Manning Brown and Rev. ]. L. Shuford
have both been removed, and the Rev.
Franks appointed to the Station, and
Rev. Thos. Herbert to the Circuit.

REDUCE WELL AS POSTPONE THE
TAxEs.-Mr. Cannon's resolution in
structing the Committee Of Ways and
Means to inquire into the ezpedicncy
Of 50 amending the tax law os to ex-
tend the time of payment Of taxes, and
to collect them in two instal!mcnts, is
a step in the right direction. The
people will find it difficult to pay the
tax at the time fixed, and it would be
some relief if the burden should be
both extended and divided. But
another thing should be done. The
tax shonld be lcsscncd considerably.
It is monstrously high, when we con-
slider the condition Of the people, and
their ability to pay it. What need
is there Of such enormous taxes? We
want only simple, moderate and
economical government. Mr.. Cannon's
resolution might be proftably amend
ed 50 as to instruct the Ways and
Means Committee to consider the
proper and necessary reduction Of
taxes, and the curtailment and diminu-
ton of salaries. This is the reform
required by the necessities Of the pee,
pie. Curtail, economic, reduce. The
poor people, who can hardly get
bread. and who cannot educate their
children, demand that all officials shall
be put upon shorter commons. Luxu-
ries and extravaganza are insulting to
these hard times.-PhUnir.

The Fight at VickSburs.
ORIGIN OF THE TROUBLE-TIIER REAL
FACTS OF THE CASE.

The editor of the Vicksburg Herald
tcleeraphs to the New York Herald
an account Of the circumstances which
led to the recent bloody encounter
there. He says:
The difficulty here has been called
a riot, but that was misnomer. 1t
was an attack in three separate columns
by negroes upon the city. The cause
of this attack can be stated in few
words. For six months, Sheriff Peter
Crosby, colorcd, has been exercising
the functions of the Office without
having given a legal bond. The
board of county supervisors refused to
order him to give the regular bond,
and the time drew on to pay the coun-
ty taxes, some 5000, 1000. The chan
Gerry clerk was without any bond what
ever, aud under an indictment for, en-
bezzlcment and forgery, as was his
predecessor, Cardoso, the present State
superintendent Of education. Not
withstanding his indictments the sher-
if was notoriously packing iuries, and
three weeks ago the county records,
bearing evidence of the guilt of the
officials, were stolen from the court
house. The taxpayers association.
composed of the best citizens and pro-
perty holders, held a meeting last
Wednesday, and in body went to
the courthouse and demanded the re-
signation of the sheriff, the chancery
clerk, the treasurer and the coroner.
The sheriff only was found, and he re-
signed. The sheriff then went to
Jackson to consult with Governor
Ames. On his return Oh Saturday a
card appeared on the streets and was
circulated throughout the county,
signed by Crosby, calling on Republi-
caus, white and black, to come to his
aid and sustain his position. Crosby
publicly and through the papers de-
nicd the card; yet on Sunday rumors
came that negroes were arming and
gathering at different points to march
on the city, but little credence was
given to the report then. On Mop-
day, at five o'clock, the alarm was
given thai the negroes were approach
iog from several directions. The
white citizeus armed and organized
in companies. At nine o'clock a gen.
cral alarm was given, aud a detach-
ment of citizen soldiery marched out
of Grove street, and near Point Look
out, just inside the city limits, met
body Of two hundred negroes. The
commander Of the citizens warned
them to dispcrse: when the negroes
replied, I'VE have come for a fight,
and We are going have it," Firing
then commenced.
