THE Russians claim that the territory
between Coustautinople and Adrianople
is not affected by the Treaty of Berlin
and that, therefore, under the prelimln-
ary Treaty of San Stefano they have a
right to occupy it until a definite treaty
is concluded.
AT meeting Of the Charleston
Chamber of Commerce on the l4tb, the
Southern Pacific Railroad was discussed.
The meeting was addressed by ex-
Senator Norwood, of Georgia. They
have the utmost confidence that the
road will eventually be built.
CHESTERFIELD had ther big day on
the l1th. Thousands of red shirts
took part in the procession and many
ladies were also present. A large num-
bcr of colorcd democrats Joined in to
swell the crowd. The greatest enthusl-
asm prevailed throughout the whole
day.
IT lis probable that the party troubles
in Hampton county are at an end, and
now political affairs are expected to 60
smoothly on. Hampton was there on
the 18th to address the mass-meeting at
Brunson's, and all differences were
settled, unity being their motto from
this time forth.
THE Berlin correspondent of the
Times telegraphs that Notwithstanding
the fact chat policemen and military
patrols scour the streets of St. Peters
burg, revolutionary placards continue
to be posted in that city. Pamphlets
of an incendiary character are secretly
distributed and threating letters are ad
dressed to ministers and leading men,
bers of the government.
EDINBURGH, Pa, was destroyed by
fire on the morning of the 18th instant
The fire broke out at half.past 3 o'clock
The fremen we're promptly on hand
but their efforts were paralyzed by ar
insuficiency of water. The total loss ii
estimated at from $3.50, 900 to 100000
It is largely insured. Two hundred ane
twenty FIVE buildings we're burned ane
the town is almost completely destroyed
There is much suffering among the losers
and u relief committee has been organ
lied.
JUSTICE very seldom overtakes tho
"gentleman" thief, but two of then
wUre 1ukru in the other day. Jesse R
Oakley, defaulti.s Cashier of the Mer.
chants Exchange National Bank. Of
New York, who was indicted in 1870
and fed 10 Europe, but returned re-
Gently, was sentenced, in the United
States Court, to FIVE years. hard labor
iu the Albany penitentiary. George T.
Hathaway, of Taunton. Mass, was sem
fenced to ten years in State prison for
stealing bank funds.
ANOTHER piece of rascally robbing
and swindling has just been sanctioned
by the government. The attorney
general decides that United States mar
shals are entitled to full mileage on each
writ served by them, when several wrils
issued in behalf of the Government
against different persons are served at
the same time. only one travel being
necessary to make the service on all of
said persons, provided the travel is ac-
tually performed. The only exception
is when several writs are served on the
same person. 1t is not at all improbable
that in few years more-judging from
the rate they are going now-the off,
GERS of the government will attempt to
take possession Of tho national treasury
and use the whole of it for their favorite
purposes.
