A SCARE AT WASHINGTON.
THURSDAY MORNING, OCT. 10, 1878.

The following Washington dispatch to the
Associated press, would indicate that the ad-
ministration is either frightened at the pros
pective overthrow of the Republican party,
or, as we would fain hope, has been misin-
formed as to the conduct of the campaign in
South Carolina. Of what may have been
done in the way of intimidation in Sumter
county, as is alleged, we have no personal
knowledge, nor have we seen any proof that
Republican meetings in that county have
been intimidated. But granting that they
have been molested, we cannot believe that
such conduct meets the approval of Governor
Hampton, and so far from being party to
it, We incline to the belief that it would meet
his unqualified condemnation. We know
and all familiar with Governor Hampton 8
past acts know-that he does not even pas
sively countenance the intimidation Of voters,
Democratic or Republican, white or coored.
The following is the Dispatch
''The President and Attorney General have
received full details of the organized attempts
to break up Republican meetings III Sumter
county, South Carolina, and prevent any po-
litical action by members of that party. Two
of Governor Hampton's aids have been proml-
nent in it, one named Earle and the other
Dargan. These attacks upon Republican meet
ings have been continued since July, and have
been made by armed men-several times by
State militia in full uniform, and with State
arms in their hands The President is con-
vinced, from reports received, that Governor
Hampton is a party to it, so far, at least, as
not to care to take any steps to stop It, Inc
President has requested the Attorney-Genera
to examine the question and see what steps, II
any, can be taken by the United States officers
to punish these offenders. After considera-
tion it has been decided that section 1920 OF
the Revised Statutes Will enable the United
States Marshal to make arrests in case OF any
further disturbances, provided the Republ-
cans, in calling their meetings, will give pub
lie notice that they are for the purpose OF CIV
ing support and advocacy, OF some particular
person who may be named for Congress-
The Attorney-G General, by direction OF the
President, has addressed letter to District
Attorney Northrop, in South Carolina, in
structing him, in connection with the Unlted
States Marshal, to see that any and all per-
sons who attempt to disturb meetings held Tor
the purpose of supporting Congressional can
didates, are arrested and taken before the Uni
ted States Commissioner and bound over for
trial under section 1920, and to employ SUI
ficient posse to effect the arrest.
1t is the intention of the Administration to
test it's power to protect it's citizens under this
section at the first opportunity which presents
itself in Sumter county, where all the out
RACES have been conducted under the special
direction and with the most active assistance
of two of HamptOn'S aids.

DEATH OF JAMES BRIAN, ESQ.

The venerable James Brian, Esq, died at
his residence, three miles northeast of York.
Vile, on Friday morning last, in the S5th
year of bis age; having been born on the lst
of June, 1894, in that section of York county
known as the "Point," formed by the conAu'
ence of Crowder's creek with Catawba river
Mr.. Brian was soldier in the war of 1872
and besides the service thus rendered in de.
fence of the rights and honor of his country,
he also served his people in the civil walks OF
life, having filled the Office of sheriff for two
terms. He was first elected to that position
in 1886, serving four years, and was reelect.
ed in 1S44-the statute at that time prohib'
iting the sheriff of district from serving two
consecutive terms. During his entire tenure
of Office he discharged his public duties in a
manner highly creditable to himself and emf
neptly satisfactory to the people.
A man of decided independence Of charac-
ter-never blending the supple knee that
thrift might follow fawning"-but having
fixed principles for his guidance in public as
we'll as private life Of generous impulse ;
liberal minded and public spirited Of un-
doubted integrity and stability of character,
he commanded popular esteem and possessed
the confidence of all with whom he came in
contact. And though since 1S4S he lived a
retired life-that of farmer-yet such was
his hold upon the affections of the people, that
he could have filled any public position in the
county, previous to the war at least, to which
he might have aspired.
Mr.. Brian married Miss Susan Collins, of
Lincoln county, N. c., whom he survived
some six or seven years, and by whom he
reared family of seven children, only two
of whom, however, are living-a son who re-
sides in one of the Western States, and Mrs.
Bell, wife of T. j. Bell, Esq, of this county.
During the past summer Mr.. Brian made a
profession of religion and connected himself
with the Presbyterian Church at Beth.Shloh.

RAN OVER BY A DUMP CAR.

On Thursday last, dump-car, containing
Section. master Merritt and one or two of his
hands, while coming down agrade at rapid
speed, about four miles from town, ran over
Mrs. Bestsy Whitaker, an aged woman, who
lives near where the accident occurred. The
woman was perceived by Mr.. Merritt while
some distance from her, and though be rea.
sonably supposed she would step of the track
in time to avoid catastrophe, he made every
effort in his power to stop the car, motiouing
to her at the same time to get out of the way
but as she did not heed the signal, and the
car could not be stopped, it struck ber, break.
ing one of her legs, and bruising her consid.
erably. AS soon after the accident as the car
could be stopped, Mr.. Merritt returned to the
injured woman, and rendered her such assis.
tance as he could, sending section hand on to
Clover for DR.. Campbell, whom the old lady
preferred should attend her; but this physi-
clan being absent from home, DR.. jackson, of
Yorkville, was summoned, who rendered nee.
essary surgical and medical attention.
No blame can attach to Mr.. Merritt, as he
is prudent, careful man. The old woman
herself says that she intended to step off the
track before the car came up to her but un.
fortunately she made miscalculation as to
time and distance. u. ...

MIIIing Up Potafoes.

i thlnk thht hllllng up, in the way it
Is pTaetced, is, AS a general rule, in
Juri0as, excepting on very wet land
Il land IS cultivated properly, and to
the right depth, / claim that the crop
where no hiliiug up in the usual way
IS done, viii be nearly double that
hilied up, because those hiIled up do
not receive the proper amount OF
moisture. Should there be abundant
rain to suit potatoes planted on the
level, it would scarcely reach those iD
hills. Modern hills are built up as if
TO ward off all the moisture possible,
and compel the poor potato to exc out
an existence in a heap of dust. [ have
often wondered when opening out Il
hiil, how the potatoes grew al all. My
experience in potato growing is, that
the proper way to plant is IN thelevel,
and then after this is done, mulch the
ground well with some moisture, TO
save as much moisture as possible in
the ground. Sometimes il is necessary.
to draw up little earth where the
tubes are pressing up through the
ground, but would only put on suffi-
cient to cover. In drills, would plant
one good seed eye every fifteen or
eighteen inches, and in hills, two or.
three eyes at the most. As a general
rule | think potatoes are planted too
thick, and too much seed put in the
ground, and very frequently we find
people reserving all the small trash of
the pit or bin for seed, instead of using
the medium sized potatoes.-Corres-
pOndent Country Gentleman.

DONE BROWN.-It seems incredible
that man born and raised in Annis.
guam, Massachusetts, should have been
done so cOncededly brown as the par
ticular Caleb described to the Drawer,
as follows, by lady: -l
A well-tO.do resident of the village,
Captain W, wished to employ
Caleb to saw some wood, three cords
and a. half in all, and promised to pay
him fifty cents day. Caleb owned no
saw, but as the captain had good one,
it was agreed that Caleb should hire it,
and pay the use OF it at the rate of
ninepence cord. At early dawn the
next morning-it was in July--Caleb
was at work. Those were the days of
wide fire-places, aud each log needed
to be sawed but once. Before night he
had finished the job, and went into
Captain VS. house to settle.
Let's see," said the captain; "you
were to have fifty cents a day; we'll
call it day, though it isn't sundown
yet. That's fifty cents for you. And
you were to pay me ninepence a cord
for the use of the saw; there's forty
three ana three-quarter cents due me.
say, Caleb. you don't seem to have
much coming" ..-..
Caleb looked dubious. He scratched
his bead thOughtfully, but presently a
light seemed to break in upon his
mind. "HOw unfortnit," said he,
that you did not have half cord
more, for then aCe could "a come out inst
SQ1eare!"-EditOr' Drawer, in Harper's
