Tho Savannah valley railroad in Court.

The opponents Of the Savannah Valley
RAILROAD Kali in Magnolia township, in Able
vile County, have appealed from the action
of the County Commissioners, in declaring
the vote for subscription carried in that
township; Messrs. Graydon and Calhoun,
Of the Abbeville bar, represent the appel.
lants, and Messrs. Murray and Murray, of
Anderson, represent the corporators Of the
Railroad. On last Thursday, at Abbeville,
before Judge Presley, motion was made
to docket the appeal for trial. Mr.. e. B.
Murray resisted the motion to docket, and
moved te d:sc;:ss The appeal on the ground
that the County Commissioners have no iu-
dicial powers under the charter because no
appeal lies to the Circuit Court from the
County Commissioners, acting as election
commissioners, and because the act charter
ing the road gives no right of appeal. The
Judge heard the argument and took the pa
pe!s. His decision has not yet been filei.
If he should decide to dismiss the appeal, it
VIII end the case. Should he allow It to be
dtocketed, it will then be tried upon its mer-
IT'S, andlthe election will undoubtedly be
sustained.

TENNESSEE.
A Novel Case.

MEMPHIS, December IS. Judge Hammond
of the L.. S. Circuit Court to-day had novel
case before him. j. c. Birmingham of
Landerdale county, Tenn, had been indicted
for unlawfully holding two colored girls in
slavery. 1t appears that birmingham has
refused to recognize the abolition of slavery,
and ever since the war has claimed to own
the girls because he owned their mother.
The conduct of Birmingham excited the in
dignatiou of his neighbors, and at their in
stigation the L. S. Grand Jury recently found
an indictment against him. Judge Ham,
mond quashed the indictment, holding that
the act of Congress which says every person
who kidnaps or carries away any other person
with intent that such person shall be sold in
to involuntary servtude or held as slave,
shall be punished by fine or Imprisonment,
could not apply to any one holding or pre-
tending to hold in slavery in this country, be-
cause as slavery had been abolished there
could be no slaves here, and therefore no one
could be held as a slave. This, the judge
said, is an offence not provided for by act of
Congress, and not punishable by indictment
in federal courts. Defendant was discharged.

Bile special says;
The gravity Of Cabul news is acknowledge
ed. Nobody believes the official accounts to
be complete. The ministerial organs admit
a mishap, and that the British hold on Cabul
is jeopardized, and warn the government
against further progress toward annexation.
The liberal journals frankly say that Gen.
Roberts is fighting for life. His whole force
of 5000 men being pitted agrinst the entire
entire Afghan army, admitted to be 10000
strong. The tribes are rising on every side.
The Keohistans lately reported as surrender
ing their arms, send 5000 troops and what
Lord Lytton called ''hostile Ghurzenee
gathering" means 1000 soldiers well armed
and led
Military critics agree that the Afghan
movements show surprising strategic ability.
Nevertheless it is believed that Gen. Roberts
is likely to overcome the present attack, as
he holds strongly fortified positions about
Cabul, but unless he is victorious an insur-
rection in Cabu is certain.
Candahar is also threatened by 1l.0OO
troops advancing from Hcrat. The Candar-
arees are likewise restless.
The Times urges government to abandon
Afghanistan after crushing the csstance, and
the Standard gives the same counsel. Tho
public are uneasy from the daily accumulat-
ing evidence of merciless cruelties perpetrat-
ed on the Afghans.

RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
Three Persons Killed.

| RUTLAND, VT, December 10. An accident
occurred on the Addison Railroad at LARA
bee Point, causing the death of the engineer
| fireman and bridge tender. The train left
| Rutland this afternoon for Ticonderoga, N
| Y, and was wrecked just before reaching tn,
| bridge across the lake. No particulars yet.
wrecking train has been sent from here
| to the scene of the accident distant about 80
| miles, to clear the track and bring away the
bodies, and no particulars can be obtained
until the train returns, which probably will
not be until morning.
Second despatch. The scene of last nights
accident on the Addison Railroad was a shoIl
| curve 100 rods from the east end of the lake
| bridge, at Larrabee Point. The shock
caused by the locomotive striking the curve
it is supposed, carried completely away about
| 60 feet of track 1t is claimed by roadmastei
Homer that the locomotive climed the track
causing the accident. The locomotive rolled
down clay embankment of about 80 feet
turning over three times. The tender was
separated from the engine and logged bottom
side up with the trucks broken off. The
train was a mixed freight and passenger.
Two of the tire freight ears followed the To-
connective down the embankment but were
not materially damaged. One freight and
the passenger car remained on the track,
none OF the occupants of the latter being in
jured.
wrecking train went to the scene last
night and recovered the bodies of the dead.
Stimson was found in the ruins of his cab,
badly mangled, his head being crushed fiat.
Lymans was found with Stimson, while
Markhams body was lying half way up the
bank, considerably crushed and scalded the
locomotive having gone over him in its first
evolution Engineer StimDson and fireman
Markham lived at Leicester Junction, the
lotter with his parents. Stimson leaves a
wife. Lyman leaves a family. He had
charge of the draw bridge across the lake,
and had been to RI land for supplies. After
riding in the passenger car to Ornell, the
last station before the accident he there got
on the locomotive to be at his post when the
train reached the draw bridge.
A second train went from Rutland to-day
and repaired and cleared the track, ready for
the passenger trains Monday.

THE COUNTING OUT
CONSPIRACY.

A petition from Portland for the investiga.
ton of the charges made by Charles B.
Rounds, was sent to the Governor and COun-
Gil Saturday afternoon. The signers say in
their petition;
"The undersigned, citizens of the State OF
Maine, having heard report that certain
serious charges of the attorney for Washing
ton county, in respect to election returns or
records in that county, are not deemed OF
sufficient Importance to be investigated by
your honorable body, would respectfully sug-
gest that prompt investigation of the mat
tiers in question would seem to be justified
alike by the gravity of the charges made,
and by the public Interest in the questions
and proceedings involved. If these charges
should turn out to be unfounded, existing
fears and suspicious would be removed,
which in itself is an object well worthy of
attainment; while if they are true we are
quite sure you will readily agree with us
that whatever of wrong doing exists ought to
be exposed. In either event we will hope
that the reports which have come to us are
unauthorized and untrue, and that prompt
and thorough investigation of the charges
will be made under your direction.
The petition is signed by some of the most
distinguished and best citizens of Portland,
their names being as follows:
