The Railroad Gases,

The United States Court IS in scs-
sion at Charleston, Chief Justice
Waite presiding. The cases Of special
Importance arc those affecting the
South Carolina and the Grccnvillc
and Columbia Railroads. A dozen
or more lawyers are engaged in the
case. and the arguments arc too
lengthy and intricate TO repay a
casual reader. The fight, Of course,
il between the stockholders of the
roads and tho holders Of different
classes Of claims against them. An
effort is making to reverse the ap-
pointmcnt by Judge Pressly of Gcncr-
al Conner rs Receiver Of the Grccnville
Road, OH the ground that the case
was not bona .fde one, aud was in
tended to prejudice certain claims. It
is also attempted to have Judge Fisher
removed as receiver of the South
Carolina Railroad because the appoint
mcnt was made by Judge Bond in
Baltimore, and it is claimed he had no
jurisdiction therefore in the premises.
What tho result will be cannot be
toretold, except that the stockholders
will be left out IN the cold. Among
the lawyers present are D. II. Cham
berlain and y. II. Corbin, who should
be gracing the dock Of the criminal
court instead Of appearing as attorneys

climax by illustrating the love Of the

from book once published by Gen.

n HORRIBLE MURDER.-Wo have
the particulars Of q terrible murder
which occurred in Anderson county,
near Pcndleton, South Carolina, last
Wednesday. The circumstances make
it one OF the most glaring instances of
cold bloodShcd we have ever chroniclcd.
William Ferguson, white planter
living In Anderson county, was told
one day last week that q negro girl
named Matte Hatton, who lived or a
farm near his own had charged that he
had made an attempt to rape her.
Ferguson denounced the report as
malicious lie, but as he continued to
hear ii, resolved to stop its circulation
in q more cflcctual manner. Last
"Wednesday he loaded shotgun
heavily and went to the field where
Matte and some other negroes werc
hoeing cotton. He asked her if she
had made the assertion which had
been reported rs coming from her.
She said she had. Ferguson then told
her il was al lie and she knew il to be 50. .
He demanded that she retract it in tho
presence of the witnesses then present.
The girl refused to do so. Ferguson
repeated tho demand. Again Matte
IIatton refused. The demand was
made the third time with no better
success. Ferguson then appeared to
be eXaspcratcd, and lcvcling his gun
fired both barrels Mt the doomed
woman. The shot entered the head,
tearing it fearfully to pieces. She fell
without groan and died almost in
stantly. The negroes were Mortified
at this brutal act and fed like sheep.
Ferguson looked for moment at tic
woman and then fed from the scene.
IL has no, sine been heard of. TO the
honor OF the good people Of Anderson
county, 1t must be said they are unani-
III us in their dcnunciation of this
awful crime, and arc doing all they
can to bring the criminal to justice.
1t is probable that a reward will be
offered and the murderer brought to
justicc.-Atlanta Constitution.

No Fear of Revolution.

Since 1877, when it began to be cvi-
dent that the Democratic party would
get control Of both houses Of Con-
grcss, and, consequently, that the
legislation Of that body would no
longer be in the hands Of the idiotic
Republican party, and in the interest
Of rings and monopolics, immigration
from abroad began to revive, and tho
arrivals IN 1878 were "a, ,4S7 as against
54,596 in 1877. when immigration was
at its lowest cbb. Again, the total
imports Of merchandise into tho Unit
cd States for the calendar year 1873
amounted to S43l, 1922, ,583, against
S4SO,246,90o in 1877, showing de-
crease IN 1873 of $4s, ,433,717. The
total exports for 1878 amounted to
S737,155,611, against S62o,3O2,4l2 in
1877, showing an increase in 1878 of
$ll6,S53,199. The total foreign trade
OF tho United States, exports and i'm
ports, exclusive OF specie bullion.
allowed for 1878 81 ,lGs, ,9Gs, 1874, against
N,lO0,64S,7l2 for 1877, or an increase
Of $68,4l9,4S2. In addition to this it
should DO remembered that, owing to
the fact that the confidence of the
country IN the Government was re-
stored, when It was certain that Con-
gressional legislation was in tho good
and safe hands oftbe Democrats, John
Sherman was enabled to sell about
s70O,0Oo, 900 four per cent. bonds to
Americans and Foreigners. These
facts should bc remembered by all
American citizcns. They indicate
confidence with Democracy in power
as against the chronic distrust under
Republican control Of Congress.

Bates College.

A special meeting OF the corporation OF
Bates College was held Thursday, to devise
ways for liquidating the floating debt oil the
institution. President Cheney presented the
condition Of affairs, showing that floating
debt of above $4,000 had accumulated III con-
sequence of circumstances beyond control
partlf the expense of the theological depart
ment, and partly the failure to realize some oil
the subscriptions He donbted not that event
ually the college would realize the $100,0O0
subscribed by Mr.. Bates. Then the permanent
fund would be $500, 900, the income Of which
would defray the expenses Of the college. Inc
regular expenses of the college would be about
$4,000 annually more than the present income,
but the President and Faculty had consented
to a temporary reduction Of salary, IN conse-
quence of which the expenses now are ohiy
about $1,000 annually more than the income.
To this is to be added about $4,000 more Tor IN
terest on the floating debt This debt must DC
paid and the interest saved.
The finance committee reported, and the
board adopted the following plan to eAtinSulsh

THE CUMBERLAND TRAGEDY.
A Possible Clue to the Murderer.

Since the terrible tragedy at West Cumber-
land occurred it had apparently passed INT
oblivion until yesterday, when possible clue
was obtained to the murderer.
Mr.. Ernest Pelton resides in two story
house, about quarter of a mile beyond Nor
rill's Corner, near a patch OF woods, the same
we believe in which Mrs, Oracle st. john
Clemence hid herself after her escape from the
Portland station house. The track OF the
Maine Central railroad runs through part OF
this wood and in one place, there is a deep
ravine. Mr.. Pelton few days ago, after the
severe rains, had occasion to go through this
wood and passed by the ravine. His eye was
attracted by bundle which had, apparently,
been carefully concealed under soil, leaves and
branches, but had been washed out OF its hid
ing place by the heavy rains. He opened the
bundle and found it contained white shirt,
pair of drawers, and a pair Of overalls such a.
working-men wear. The shirt bore what were
evidently the owners initials. Mr.. Pelton
thought nothing of the matter at the time, hut
the next day he was talking with several
friends and upon mentioning the circumstance
with details, they Immediately reminded
the authorities here were notified and
they advised Mr.. Pelton to recover the clothes
il he could. He accordingly went to the wood,
found them, and brought them to Portland.
The clothes were in such q condition yesterday
that it was impossible to tell whether the
stains were caused by exposure or blood.
They will probably be analysed and then, if
the stains should prove to be blood stains, the
clothes will probably prove a substantial link
in chain of circumstantial evidence, and if
they should prove to be the garments worn by
the murderer when he committed the deed,
they would show the murderer must have
changed his garments after committing the
deed, footed it across lots to Morrills Corner
the shortest way on foot-and dropped the
witnesses of his guilt where they were found.
