General Grantwas but lately our-citizens' guest,
And he can not complain, for they gave him
their BEST
He stopped free at 1.-THE Palace rode for
dead" on the cars,
And I'm told, he smoked gratis the finest cigars.
While taking in Battery street, one fine night.
He wishing 10 smoke was hard ND for a light:
When glorious sight on his optics did burst
For, behold. he met Emperor Norton the First.
Now, OF Emperors Grant really knows a whoEa
batch,
So he simply said; emperor, give us matchr'
But his Majesty had none, so he said Gas a
shift,
General, step on my shoulder, I'll give YOU a
lift"
This the General considered as good common
sense,
So he lit his cigar at the citys expense:
Then stepped down and said: Even an EN-
peror, see,
Will sometimes get struck bya real Good Idea"

FORTUNES IN MIsaNG.

The Eureka Sentinel in noticing a
bonanza just discovered on Prospect
mountain, says "there is no business
that pays like mining, when it pays at
all. A mine worth thousands to-day
may be worth millions tomorrow
The mine in which the BONANZA has
been discovered, says the Sentinel, sis
now worth at low estimate 500, 600,
and perhaps million or two, but it could
have been purchased short time ago
for 81 900, though there is now in sight
in the mine, by actual measurement,
$50, 900 worth of ore, and the end is
not yet" This is not only encourag-
ing to mine owners in Prospect noun
tain. but to those endeavoring to de-
velop mines in all parts of the State.
There is no telling what days work
may bring to light in mine, and many
OF them, which have been abandoned as
worthless by discouraged prospectors
have afterwards proved to be valuable.

GRANT m TEE sOUTn.

General Grant was as cordially and
enthusiastically received at Galveston,
Texas, upon his return from Mexico,
as he was at San Francisco upon his ar
rival from China and Japan. Deafen-
ing cheers from the crowds assembled
on the wharves and the shipping in the
harbor, and salvos of artillery from the
batteries greeted him at the landing.
The Mayor and city officials, the mill
tary under General Ord, and all the
civic societies in the city formed pro-
cession and escorted him to his hotel.
A grand banquet was given him by the
citizens, and the people We'd with each
other in honoring him. He seems to
be as popular in the South as in the
North, and it is doubtful if there is a
Living man whose presence creates so
much enthusiasm wherever he goes as
the Hero of Appomatox.
1t is greatly to be regretted that
Grants ambition is not satisfied with the
honors which have been showered upon,
him, and that he permits himself to Ee
deluded by designing politicians with,
the idea that he would be as popular
as candidate for third term of the
Presidency as he now is as a. private
citizen, who has been General of the
Army and twice President of the
United States. As candidate he
lowers himself at once to the level of
any politician who. seeks to acquire po-
sition by the aid of the machine, against
the desire of not only a majority of his
fellow-citizens, but against the wishes
of the most respected and incorruptible
members of the party of which.he is
member.

Judge Kershaw

Judge Kershaw
Closed the Circuit Court of Newberry
County Saturday, after session Of FIVE
weeks. The first two weeks were ta-
ken MP with criminal business, the next
two with the trial of jury cases, and the
last week with equity cases, not re-
ouiring jury. The Judge has worked
hard and patiently for the whole time,
and has done all in his power to clear
the dockets, and has accomplished a
great deal in this direction, for which
he deserves the thanks of the people of
the County.
It.i not our custom to compliment
the Judges; but we cannot refrain from
saying that Judge Kershaw by his con-
duct on the bench has added greatly to
the high admiration IN which he is held
by the people. Digniied, firm, cour-
teous, able, and learned in the law, he
is worthy to be ranked alongside Of the
Judges and Chancellors who made the
Bench of South Carolina in former days
the pride Of her people and the admira-
ton of the world.

A Fatal AffraY

FdIdl HlIId1
Occurred Friday, Sd instant, at May
binton. in this County, between MIR.
Jno. L. Lyles on one side and Mr..
James Thomas and son Of his on
the other. Mr.. Lyles has been married
three times; his first two wives having
been daughters of Mr.. Thomas. There
has been some trouble between the
father-in-law and son-in-law for some
time in reference to property. The
parties met Friday at Maybinton at
sale of some personal property, and a
difficulty arose between them. Mr..
Lyles drew his pistol and shot Mr..
Thomas, inficting a wound that is
thought to be mortal. Mr.. James
Thomas, Jr.. came to his fathers assist
ance, and advanced upon Mr.. Lyles
with club. Lyles fired three shots at
him: the first struck him in the breast,
but tho ball was turned by striking a
bundle of papers in his pocket; the sec
ond shot struck his pocket knife and
glanced off; the third passed tbroug h
bis left arm. Young Thomas kept ad-
vaucing. and as soon as he got within
reach be struck Lyles on the head with
the clsb, breaking the skull and caus-
ing almost instant death. These are
the facts as reported to US.
Trial Justice Bynum, acting as Coro-
ner. held an inquest over the dead body
Saturday, the jury returning a verdict
of irstifiable homicide.
The deceased was about thirty-two
years old; he leaves wife but no chill

The Register.

The Register.
The publishers of the Columbia Regis
ter have been sending their paper for
some time TO certain points on the G. &
G. r. r. on the morning freight, which
reaches Newberry usually two or three
hours ahead of the regular mail. This
is intended as An accommodation to
subscribers at these points, and would
be so if there were any regularity and
certainty about the arrangement. So
far as Newberry is concerned the Regis
ter very frequently is carried by, there
being NO arrangement for conveying
the papers from the freight train to the
Post Ofice-and in that case they are
carried on up the road and brought
back with the down mail after o'clock
in the afternoon. In view of these
facts, we respectfully suggest that the
more satisfactory plan would be to send
the papers, to Newberry at least, by reg
ular mail.

Two important Cases

Of public interest were heard and de-
cided at the late term Of the Circuit
Court. One was the case Of D. H.
Wheeler against NewberrY County.
Mr.. Wheeler sold lumber to the County
Commissioners several years ago, at
the price customary at that time; his
account was approved by the then Board
of County Commissioners, and two pay
ments were afterwards made on it; one
of l6 "a per cent. in 1874, the other of
26 per cent. in 1876. The Commission
appointed by the Governor, composed
of Messrs. Caldwell. Longshore and
Lipscomb, disallowed the claim, or
scaled it, when it came before them.
Mr.. Wheeler refused to accept certif-
cate for less than the full amount, and
brought action against the County for
the full amount of the claim remaining
unpaid. The County contested the case
on the ground that there had been no
appeal from the action of the Commits
sion its decision was final. Mr.. Wheel
er proved that be sold the lumber to
the Commissioners at the prices charged
private individuals, which was no more
than the lumber was worth at that
time, that it was delivered, and that
the County Commissioners approved
the claim. These things having been
proved, the only question remaining
was whether the Commission was
Court. whose decision was binding.
Judge Kershaw charged the jury, on
this point, that the Commission was not
Court, but was in the nature Of a COM
mittee appointed to ascertain and report
the bone tide Indebtedness Of the Coun-
ty. As evidence that the Legislature
did not regard the action Of the Com
mission as judicial and final, the Joint
Resolution of the Legislature, passed
after the Commission had made its re-
port to that body, directed the County
Commissioners to issue certificates Of
Indebtedness upon those claims found
valid by the Commission, and upon such
other claims as might thereafter he found
valid By any Court Of competent jur.ss-
diction. The jury found for the plain
tiff the full amount of his claim, less the
payments.
1t is feared by some that the decision
in this case will open up a great deal Of
litigation against the County; but we
don't think so. A large number Of re-
iected claims would not bear ventila-
ton in Court Of justice; and those
who have accepted certificates for small
er amounts than their claims called for
are precluded from taking any further
steps.
The other case was that of the State
against H. G. Moses, former Clerk Of
Court, and bis bondsmen. on his official
bond. He gave two bonds while he
was Clerk. The case on the latter,
given April 4, 1877, was heard first, and
the jury found for the plaintiff for SlO,-
900, the penalty of the bond, which ver-
dict is for the benefit of parties inter-
ested. In the suit on the first bond, the
Jury, in accordance with the charge of
the presiding Judge, found verdict in
favor of the defendants.
All the above cases will probably 60
up TO The Supreme Court on appeal.
