details concerning the reception accorded
Gen. Grant in that city last week. He
arrived there on Sunday night, August

by Minister Kasson, the secretaries and
members of the American legation. and

A Mystery In AbbeYille.
ABBEyILLE sc Sent

ABBEvILLE, S. c., Sept. L.
Sheriff Jones has been missing since
August %. His Office was opened and
investigated by his bondsmen to-day.
He is behind some $4,000, and the whole
affair is shrouded in mystery. In n letter
addressed to the public, which was found
in his safe, he says:
"By one hour of neglect have wreck
ed my own happiness. have been
robbed, whether through negligence or
not | am at loss to say, but such is the
fact. l cannot meet my bondsmen,
cannot meet my friends, with suspicion
written in their faces. have raised
sufficient money to carry me safely and
securely across the ocean,"
This letter was written on the night of
the 2lst ult. A letter received from the
fugitive yesterday, postmarked Cincin-
natl, August 2Sth, said that he was
making for Canada or England. He is
evidently insane, as he left sufficient
property to meet all liabilities. He is
due the sheriGs Office from 81 800 to
$4,000, and has left available assets to
the amount OF $1,000.

1t had been the case of poor wretch

family, he would have been hustled back
to the penitentiaFy without ceremony ;
but inasmuch rs it is an accomplished

way, it reminds Us very much of the way
things went on down in this State while

THE TERRIBLE sC0URGE.

In the Southwestern States, the vista
tion of yellow fever is proving the most
terrible scourge which hes afflicted any
portion of our country w',hin the memo
ry of the present generation, at least.
Cities, towns and villages are quickly
depopulatod; where only few days
since peace and plenty reigned, desola-
tion is written all over communities !;
sickness and death hare taken possession
OF smiling homes AID busy marts OF
trade; the dreadful scourge engrosses
the time, the thought and the attention
, OF every one within reach of the infected
places. Amid all this woe and anguish,
it is creditable TO the humanity Of the
American people that generous relief has
been promptly forwarded. Physicians,
nurses and needed supplies have been
sent in profusion; money has flowed
without stint from almost every quarter,
and there is On anxiety pervading the
public mind to learn from day to day of
some abatement of the fearful disease.
But the grim monster pursucs his death
dealing mission; hundreds OF victims are
added daily TO the hundreds and thou
sands already stricken down, and the end
is not yet. In all human probability,
the fever-infected localities are to under.
go the ocourge for sixty days to come.
Can our people realize the extent of the
deyastation7- Is the suffering, the an.
guish and the deprivation of our fellow
creatures in the Southwest wildly real
lied by the people Of Anderson? The
contribution of few has been sent to
the sufferers already. But is this our
whole duty, under the circumstances |?
Blessed in health and store as ~ the in
habitants of this region, can we not do
moro than TO send mere pittance for
their relief? Anderson County has be-
come distinguished for meritorious works
in various directions. 1t has been sig
nally favored in many respects, and
prosperous fields are now whitening with
fruitful harvests. A general movement
for the amelioration of distress and sue
cor to the Frustrated section would still
further exemplify the patriotism, devo-
tion to duty and noble chai .cter of our
people. who 20 competent to lead in
this worthy endeavor as the ministers of
the gospe)-the herslds of Christ, their
great exemplar, who went about doing
good, and was touched with the infirmi.
ties of our nature? If all the ministers
of every denomination would unite in a
systematic plan for securing contribu-
tions to the relief Of the yellow fever
sufferers, the result would be highly
gratifying, ard thousands of perishing
mortals fyori,' derive benefit from the
]aborD sc abundantly rewarded The
suggestion for concert of action among
the ministry, it seems to us, deserves
their prompt consideration.

We have frequently wondered at the
nonors which the paritans Of Massachu-
sets have conferred on B. F. Butler
since his New Orleans war exploits, but
1t ceases to be matter of surprise when
the Attorney General and the Governor
of the State deliberately, and after the
mockery of pretended trial, refuse to
give Kimpton up for trial on an indict-
ment for conspiracy to defraud thc State
of South Carolina. If the people of the
Bay State sustain the present admins
tration after this base action, they will
be looked upon by the other States us an
asylum for corruptionists and rogues.

Blue Jeans Williams, the popular Gov

members of the National party in his

prospect for q splendid victory is very

The requisition of the Governor of
Massachusetts,, for the surrender of
Hiram H. Kimpton, has been refused by
Governor Rice. The Attorney General
submitted his opinion on the case 20 the
Governor on Thursday. In the opinion
he cited numerous facts and precedents
showing the action taken in similar
cases, and where the discretion of the
Executive had been exercised aud the
warrant for the surrender of the alleged
fugitive refused. In the present instance
the surrender is denied on the ground
that the State of South Carolina, in pro-
curing the indictment or Kimpton, had a
purpose different from that of bringing
him to trial. This is altogether new
ground, and was not taken by Kimpton's
counsel in their argument.
SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Aug. 80.
On the receipt of the telegram from
Boston stating that the Governor would
refuse to surrender Kimpton, the latter
was discharged by the Police Court of
this city, by which he had been held on
merely nominal charge. He is now at
liberty.

President Hayes hos contributed large
~, tits said. to the Republican campaign
fund, aud the Republicans who are sup
porting him are boasting of this as an
evidence Of his loyalty to the party. 1t
may prove that he ia loyal to the party,
butt does not so very far to show that
he is loyal to good government in his
nation. This is the first time that the
donations of = President to campaign
funds have syer been openly boasted OF
before the country, and it is not calcu-
listed to increase the respect for his ad-
stllinistration either at homo or abroad
that he and his friends for him have to
cite his contributions as evidence of loy-
atty 10 the principles he PROCESSES. AS
soma of our exchanges have anggested, Il
would have been more commendable for
him to have turned this Contribution
over to the yellow fever puderefs If he
wished BY giving his money to perform
an sct which would entitle him to public
praise.

President Hayes las "gonc back ON
his civil service order himself, for he is
attempting to use his position to control
political elections. He is especially de.
sirous of defeating Hon. Milton Saylor,
Democrat of Ohio, for Congress, and
hence wrote letter to Judge Longworth
of that District urging him to become a
candidate for tho position in opposition
to Mr.. Saylor. The Judge declines to
run, and pokes considerable fun at the
President by incidental references to the
civil service order. The correspondence
will be good Democratic campaign itera-

the charges which gro made against his
competency and honesty while lie was

if elected he will have to secure auother
