The Marion Merchant and Farmer tells
the following story: 1.-TWO of our enterpris.
ing citizens, who had a joint claim against
another, took a hog valued at $6 in part pay
ment. After getting possession, they left it
in charge of third party until proceedings
in partition could be had. They have since
agreed as to the disposal of their respective
interests, but now comes in a claim for keep.
ing the hog, which completely upsets their
calculations. The third party wants pay at
the rate of 25 cents per day for the keeping,
and his bill amounts to upwards of $40. He
is willing to take the hog, at valuation of
81, in part payment, or to surrender it to the
owners on payment of the full amount. They
we're willing to let him keep the hog if he
would give them receipt in full. But this
he was not willing to do. The case was SET
tied by the owners paying to the party who
has been keeping the hog, s475 in cash, and
surrendering all right in the property"

PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS.

In the Senate on the 10Th, a number of
bills-most of them of private character
were INTRODUCED and referred to appropriate
committees. On motion, the Senate receded
from the amendments to the army bill, in
which the House non-concurred, and the bill
goes to the President. The Senate then agreed
to Mr.. Davis resolution for committee of
five to investigate the system of bookkeeping
il the Treasury department, with view of
removing alleged discrepancies, after which
the Senate went into executive session. In
the House, the bill in reference to the Paris
Exposition came up, the first thing, and kept
its place until the hour of adjournment. Af-
ter funny speech by Cox, Of New York, the
general debate closed. A motion to strike
out the enacting close, (Which would be equiv
alent to defeat of the bill,) was made by
Mills, of Texas, and was rejected by a majori-
ty of 40. All who voted for the motion were
Democrats. An amendment was adopted, on
motion of Mr.. Steele, of North Carolina, re-
curing four of the Commissioners to the Ex-
position to be practical agriculturists.
In the Senate on the goth, the bill for nat
uralizing the Indians was postponed until
December. After executive session, Mr.. Thur
man submitted resolution that the commit
tee on privileges and elections be discharged
from the further consideration Of the creden-
tials of NJ. G. Butler as Senator from South
Carolina. Objection was made by several
Senators, and after lengthy debate the fur
ther consideration of the resolution went
over. The House spent the whole day in the
discussion and voting on the amendments
proposed to the Paris Exposition bill, and
finally passed the bill by majority of IA.

LETTER FROM ROCK HILL.
Rock HILL, s. c., November

Rock HILL, s. u, November 70.
This section of the country has been for several
days past visited with very heavy and almost in
cessant rains. do not think, however, the rains
have been confined to this section, but have been
more general than otherwise. The various streams
areconsiderably swollen and many of the creeks
were for several days impossible. am told that
the Catawba river is now at its highest and threat
ems very destructive overflow. Much cotton,
that doubtless would have opened, is now irrevo-
caby lost.
A terrible accident occurred, on Friday after
noon, on the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta
Railroad. About a o'clock, P. NJ, the engine OF
the uptrain arrived here with the alarming intel
ligence that the whole of thetran ofcars had fallen
in South Fork creek by the giving away of the
trestle. Immediately the whole town was arous-
ed. One hundred or more men, white and color
ed, got into box cars, which fortunately happened
to be standing on the track, and attaching them
to the engine, proceeded with all speed to the
scene of the painful disaster. En- route they were
compelled to cross two trestles. When the first
one was reached, the engineer-Wm. Fetner by

SENTENCES OF CARDOZO, EFT AL.

At the opening of Richland Court of Ses'
sions in Columbia last Monday morning,
Judge Townsend read his reasons for refusing
new trials in the cases of Smalls and Cardozo
which were filed with the Clerk of the Court
He also overruled the motions in arrest OF
judgment in the same cases and read his rea'
sons for doing 80.
Mr.. Melton excepted to the rulings in both
cases.
His Honor then passed the following SEN
tences:
That Robert Smalls be confined at hard
labor in the pententiary for term Of three
years.
That L. Cass Carpenter be confined in the
county Jail for two years and pay q. fine OF
$1,000.
That F. L. Cardozo be confined in the
county Jail for two years and pay fine OF
$4,000, and at the expiration of two years, if
the fine be not paid, an additional year OF
imprisonment.
In passing the sentences. Judge Townsend
addressed each of the prisoners at considera-
BILE length, dwelling upon the enormity of
their crimes, and impressing upon all that the
convictions were not procured through politi-
cal influences, or for political objects, but that
the trials were entirely devoid ofany political
feelings or significance.
After the sentences were pronounced, Mr..
Melton entered general exception to the
Judgment of the Court in the case of F. L.
Cardozo and the case of Robert Smalls. And
at the request of Judge Carpenter, who was
absent in Washington, he also entered an ex
ception to the judgment in the case of L. Cass
Carpenter.
Mr.. Melton submitted motions to suspend
the execution of the sentences pending the
appeal in the cases of Cardozo and Smalls,
and Mr.. Conner consenting to them, they
were passed. By consent of Attorney-Gener-
al Conner, Smalls was allowed to 60 on bail
pending the appeal, the amount to be fixed on
consultation.
After further argument, by consent of At
torney. General Conner, orders were made ad-
hitting Cardozo and Carpenter to bail, pend
ing appeals, in amounts to be fixed on con-
sultation.

SUDDEN DEATH.

On Friday night last, a white man named
John Fleming, who had come on the G. q L.
Railroad to temporarily I'LL the place of Mr.
Dooly, section.master on the first section OF
the road between this place and Chester, came
to his death in sudden and inexplicable
manner. He and one or two of the section
hands, colored men, came to town that even
ing, and from the evidence elected before the
coroner's inquest, it would seem that Fleming
had been drinking some while in town. Late
in the evening, Fleming and his companions
proceeded on dump car for the shanties, five
miles from town, and after arriving there
Fleming sat down in front of his shanty, and
directed the colored men to procure some fuel
and build fire for him. They went some
distance from the shanties to gather up some
wood, being absent about twenty minutes
When they returned, they found Fleming ly'
ing upon his face and supposing he was over
come by his potations, attempted to move him
into the house, when on lifting him up, they
found that life was quite extinct.
Next morning, Trial Justice James s. Lewis
was notified of the occurrence, when, acting
as coroner, be impauneled jury of inquest,
who, after fully investigating all the facts, re-
turned verdict that the deceased came to
his death "by misfortune or accident"
The deceased was an entire stranger here,
having been on the road but day or two, and
none of the hands whom he superintanded
knew his name. From letter to his address,
which reached here after his DEATH and was
opened by proper authorities, it appears that
he was formerly employed on the lower end
of the North Carolina Central Railroad.

South Carolina Senatorial Question.
"A Washington dispatch of the 22nd
says the pressure is tremendous on the Sena'
torial question, and the impression prevails
should the question be forced at an early day
the result will be the seating of Butler from
South Carolina, and Kellogg from Louisiana
It is known that Senator Conover, of Flori.
da, will vote throughout for seating Butler
from South Carolina, and, as at present ad'
vised, will vote for seating Kellogg Con.
overs friends say of him that his action in
these cases is entirely of his own volition, and
must not be construed that he is going over
to the Democracy. They claim for him that
he has maintained consistent record, and
will be firm Notwithstanding the pressure
brought to bear upon him, and while a Re.
publican, he has the honesty and courage to
do that which his own judgment dictates is
right He believes that General Butler is
entitled to his seat as duly elected, and will,
therefore, vote for him as persistently as he
did for Mr.. Pinchback.
A dispatch of the same date says the COM
mittee on privileges and elections voted on
that morning six to three-a strict party
-instructing the chairman to report in
favor of seating Kellogg for the long term
The committee has also directed Butler and
Corbin, the contestants from South Carolina
to prepare their papers for immediate inves'
tigation.
Sad Case Of Drowning.
--On Friday night last, as we learn from
the Charlotte Observer, Michael Hoke, Jacob
Sumner and Harrison Grice, young men OF
Lincolnton, N. c., were crossing Clarke'a
creek, which is just on the outskirts of the
town, the waters from the recent rains being
very high, when the boat which they occupied
suddenly capsized. Young Grice sank be-
meath the water and was seen no more Messrs
Hoke and Sumner clung to the capsized boat
and we're carried some distance down the
stream, when fearing they would soon be driv'
en- into the full current of the south fork Of Ca
tawba river, they agreed to catch upon the
branches of the first tree to which they were
borne Accordingly, when they had been car
ried quarter of mile down the river, in the
direction of the opposite bank, and were borne
against tree, they abandoned their frail bark
and swung to the limbs, while the boat, relieved
of its weight, shot from under them like an
arrow. Mr.. Hoke lodged high up among
the branches, Mr.. Sumner below him, and in
this perilous situation they hung suspended
by the arms, calling for help, which did not
come, and talking with each other about their
peril and the probabilities of escape from
their frightful surroundings. At the end of
an hour, Mr.. Sumner said to his companion
that he could hold out no longer; that he
was growing weaker and weaker and would
have to release his hold upon the limb.
"Take care of yourself" we're the last words
he uttered, and then he sank and the waves
closed over his already almost lifeless form.
Mr.. Hoke clung to the branches of the tree
until 7 o'clock next morning, when, with
much difficulty, he was rescued from his peril
GUS situation.

In addition to the vivid account Of the &C.
cident on the c., G. & A. Railroad, copied
from the Charlotte Observer, our Rock Hill
correspondent also furnishes a very interest
ing account of the same catastrophe. Be-
sides the facts stated in those articles, we
learn from passengers who reached here Tues.
day evening, that at least two passengers on
board the ill-fated train are still missing
one named Greene and the other Arthur.
We could not learn the residence or destina-
ton of either of them. The debris Of the
wrecked train and trestle had not all been
removed at the date of our latest informa.
tion, and the supposition is that if the above
named passengers were lost, they are under
the sunken cars.
