tions, the strikers marching from place to
place and forcibly compelling even those who
are disposed to work to join them. As a
consequence, all work is suspended in the rice
fields. Noviolence between the whites and
blacks has been reported. With the view
of having the ngleaders of the disturbance
arrested and brought to trial for any viola
tions of the law of which they may be guilty,
Gov Chamberlain has appointed R. H. Col
cock, Esq, trial justice at Green Pond in
Colleton county, and instructed the Sheriff OF
that county to proceed to the scene of the dis
turbances and exert all of his official powers
in putting an end to all illegal action on the
part of the strikers.
Rock Hill Presbyterian Church.
Our Rock Hill correspondent having
given version of the compromise recently
effected between the Presbyterian Church at
Rock Hill and w. P. Russell, Which was af
terwards published in the Ne,os and Courier,
and being to some extent erroneous, Mr. Rus
sell makes the correction, which, in justice to
him, we republsh from the Neus and Courier.
To the Editor Of the Ne'us and Courier :
In the issue of your paper of 10th instant, l
notice that you say: "The suit of W. P. Rus.
sell, Esq, Of this city, vs.. the Rock Hill Pres
byterian Church, has at last been adjusted.
The case was to have been tried at this term
of the court in Columbia, before his Honor
Judge Cooke, presiding, but compromise
was effected between the parties to this effect:
The original demand of Mr.. Russell against
the church was $3.50 he agreed to take
therefor 81 900, and pay the cost Of the &C.
ton. 1t is, doubtless, very satisfactory ar
rangement of the matter"
This statement Of the adjustment is in eve
ry particular incorrect. The original demand
was only 81, l59 23, and was compromised by
our attorneys without our knowledge, after
we had arrived in Columbia, and notified
them through our bookkeeper that we had
arrived with our books and was ready to 20
into court.
The compromise was for $3.50, as stated to
us by our attorneys, and the church to pay all
taxed costs, including our lawyers fees in
Charleston, and the mileage and per diem Of
our witnesses from Charleston. We expected
verdict for 81, 1923, with one per cent. per
month from October 3, 1874, and expressed
our surprise and regret that the matter had
been compromised in this way, after we had
arrived in Columbia, in obedience to tele.
gram from our attorneys, without consulting
us, but we gave way to their course Of action
Please do US the justice to publish this cor
rection of your statement, and oblige.
Yours, respectfully, W. P. RUSSELL.

great wisdom in taking farewell of the single

The regular drill of the Chester Rife Club
took place on Friday afternoon. After meet.
ing and forming in line at the armory, they
marched through town to an old field, where
they spent about an hour in executing various
military maneuvres. Vice-Presidents Mar.

A game of base ball was played here on

and were met at the depot by their brethren

in their beautiful uniforms, proceeded to the
scene of action, where they displayed their
skill and grace in playing ball. At the end
of the ninth inning the game stood twelve to

eide the question of championship, which re-

game was hotly contested, and was witnessed
with interest and pleasure by considerable

Governor Chamberlain has issued COM
missions to Judges Reed and Shaw for four
years from the date of their election. Under
these commissions the term of Judge Reed
will expire on December II, 1878, and that
of Judge Shaw on February IL, 1879. The
commissions are given in accordance with the
Executive Judgment that, under the Consti-
tuition, Circuit Judge once in office, and
however elected, holds Office for the full term
of four years. The former commissions were
only for the unexpired term Of the predeces'
sors of Judges Reed and Shaw, expiring iii
August next. This action of Governor Cham
berlain puts the claim of Whipper and Moses
in its proper shape. They have no commits
sions, and Judges Reed and Shaw, whose
offices they seek, have commissions running
two years and more.
McEvoy, the condemned murderer OF
Maj. Gregg, at Graniteville, several weeks
ago, is said to manifest the most stolid indif'
ference to his fate. When he received the
sentence to be hanged on the 3Oth of June,
not muscle quivered. He has sent for his
fiddle to the Jail, and he passes the time play
ing on it, asserting that he will eventually
evade the penalty of the law. 1t is said that
colored lawyer will appeal to the Supreme
Court in behalf of McEvoy, although it is
said the latter, when he heard that an appeal
would cost two hundred dollars, swore that
he would not give that amount tolive forever.
The Episcopal clergyman at Aiken has visit
ed the condemned man several times, but his
admonitions are treated with scorn, and Nc
Evoy indulges in the most profane abuse
of him after he leaves. From all accounts,
the murderer seems to be one of those men
whom it is best to have out of the world as
speedily as possible.

Changes in the Cabinet.


- Last week, President Grant made the
following nominations: Attorney-General
Pierrepont, Minister to England; Judge Taft,
the new Secretary of War, to be Attorney
General and j. Donald Cameron, of Penn
sylvania, son of Simon Cameron, to be secreta.
ry of War. The Senate confirmed the nomi-
nations Immediately and without debate.
The action of the President in appointing
Cameron to position in the Cabinet was a
surprise to the Washington politicians. 1t
is charged that Grant tavors Conkling as the
Republican nominee for the Presidency, and
that he gave Cameron position in his Cabi'
net with the view of strengthening Conkling's
chances in the Cincinnati convention. This, Of
course, displeases the adherents of Blaine and
Morton, both of whom aspire to the Presiden.
tial chair, and the latest movement of the
President promises to spread disintegration in
the ranks of the Republican leaders.
Republican Political Notes.
- The Alabama Republican Convention
met in Montgomery on Wednesday of last
week. Morton was declared the choice of the
Convention for President.
The Kansas State Convention declare in
favor of Blaine.
The Missouri Convention, in session in St.
Louis on the 25th, declare for coin or paper
convertible into coin. For President, the
delegation stands: Blaine, IA; Morton, 12;
Bristow, 3; Conkling, 1.
The delegates to the Cincinnati Conven-
ton, chosen in the Nebraska State Conven-
ton, were instructed to vote for Blaine.
In the Minnesota State Convention, a reso.
luton was adopted, with three dissenting
votes, expressing preference for Blaine, but
the delegation is not instructed.
The platform of the Illinois Convention
RENTS the currency question to the National
Convention. Mr.. Beveridge addressed the
Convention, endorsing Blaine The delegates,
however, were uninstructed by resolution. A
resolution declaring it impolitic to send Fed
eral office holders to the National Convention
was rel jected.
The resolutions adopted by the New Hamp-
shire Convention leave the delegates to the
National Convention uninstructed.
Trouble in the Rice Region.
- For several days past the negro labor
ers in the rice-growing district on Combahee,
in Colleton county, have been on strike, in
consequence of a reduction of wages, as is al
legged by some of the discontented ones; while
other accounts attribute the dissatisfaction
to the system adopted by the planters of pay
ing wages in tickets or "checks" To obviate
the innumerable difficulties arising from keep
ing accounts with the laborers, the planters
have been in the habit ofpaying them in the
evening for each days work performed-6fty
cents being the wages Of hand. But recent
ly, owing to the Hawaiian treaty, admitting
rice from that island free of duty, the planters
fearing unremunerative prices in the future,
determined to reduce wages to forty cents

CHESTER AND LENoIR RAILROAD.

CdES L En- AMI LCNOln nhIhINohOs
The work of laying the track of the rail-
road, from Gastonia to this place, which has
been steadily progressing for some time, was
completed last Thursday afternoon-the new
track being connected with the old road at
half past 6. Railroad communication is now
open between Chester on the Charlotte, Co.
lpmbia and Augusta road, to Gastonia, on the
Richmond and Atlanta Air Line, distance

The first freight train, loaded with a con-
signment of cotton from G. W. Melton, Of
Chester, to his New York factors, Messrs.
Hopkins, Dwight & Trowbridge, passed over
the road on Friday last; and on Monday af:
ternoon, after the arrival of the train from
Chester, freight train loaded with cotton for
Messrs. Sanders & Blackwood, Of Charlotte,
was dispatched to Gastonia, returning to
Chester on regular schedule time Tuesday
morning. Freight trains will be run regular.
ly between this place and Gastouia, leaving
here at $50 p. M, and returning at 7 next
morning, on which passengers will be taken ;
but regular passenger trains will not be put
on the road until the track has been gone
over by the section.masters.
The track.layers, Messrs. Fry q Deal, re-
sumed work last Monday at Gastonia, for the
purpose of completing their engagement to
