Lynch Law In South Carolina.

CHARLESTON. March 2.-On Saturday last a
one-armed negro, named Louis Kinder, COM
mitted an outrageous assault upon white
woman named Byrd, residing near Georges
Station, Colleton county, about fifty miles
from this city A hunt was organized, and
tho villain captured Sunday morning by u
mixed white and black posse. He was taken
to the sceno of tho outrage and identified by
his victim A vote of the posse was taken
and it was decided not to lynch him, but allow
tho law to take its course. Kinder was then
taken to Georges Station and placed in the
guard.housc under u strong guard.
On Monday morning he was sent to Waiter
boro to Jail, still strongly guarded. On their
way to Watterboro the guard were overpow-
cred by an armed force, consisting 1t Is said,
largely of tho relatives of the outraged lady,
aud the prisoner was conveyed TO Il secluded
spot in the woods, whero he was kept until
night About o'clock last night he was
again con frontcd with the lady whom he had
outraged and again identified. He was again
taken to the woods, where preparations
were made to hang him. AT the last
moment he confessed the crime, and
also confessed to similar outrage upon
a colorcd woman In Newberry six years
ago. He further acknowledged the killing
of colored girl near Kings Tree, last April,
and confessed to four burglaries and innumcr
able thefts. At 10;30 o'clock he was hanged,
and, after firing voley of pistol shots into
tho body, the crowd quietly dispersed Kinder
was Il dangerous outlaw, who for over year
had been the terror of the neighborhood Oh
which he preyed, and the action of the vigi-
lants is heartily udorsed by both the whites

Ind ans Preventing a railroad surve,

YANKrON, D. T., March 2.-The surveying
party of the Chicago & Northwestern Rail-
road Company have just entered upon an at
tempt to run its line across the Sioux rescr-
walton and up Bad River from Fort Pierre.
They tried it from Fort Bennett up tho Chey-
enno river, and were headed of by Indians
under the leadership of Red.Shirt, who told
them the attempt to carry on survey would
bring certain death to the party. Again from
Fort George the surveyors started a line, but
White Ghost with following of Brule Sioux,
was on the ground and forced them to aban-
don the effort. The Bad River road runs
through the reservation, and the Indians
have access to it from three agencies. 1t is
doubtful whether the party will succeed in
making any survey through that country.
The Indians are opposed to all such move
ments, and have announced that they will
fight for what they call their rights.

Tho Finances and the Indian Problem Dis
cussed-senator Logan's Speech ON the
Porter Case - Treasurer Gllhlian
and the Tax Cortificates-Tho
Executive Session OF tho
Senate-Tho Poncas,
Tho Cabinet Meeting Yesterday.

At the Cabinet meeting yesterday there was
quite protracted discussion OH financial sub
iccts. Secretary Sherman stated that the sill.
Yer in tho Treasury was constantly increasing
and that itwas extremely difficult to circulate
1t, owing to the convenience OF silver certf.
Gates, which are invariably preferred TO coin
An instance as to how the Government Is
being embarrassed by the silver certificates
WAS given, which WAS to the effect that per-
son desiring to transport gold from San Fran
cisco to New York would apply TO tho Assist
ant-Treasurer at the former city for stated
amount of silver dollars in exchange for n like
amount of gold, and upon receiving the silver
would demand silver certificates therefor, and
by mailing the certificates TO New York he
would avoid the cost of transporting tho coin.
On this account tho Secretary of tho Treasury
thought that silver certificates were great
hindrance to the free circulation ocsilver coin.
The revenues of the Government were men,
toned as being very gratifying.
There was u communication from General
Pope regarding the alleged proposed invasion
of the Indian Territory brought to the atten-
tion of the Cabinet, in which instructions were
asked upon the question of interference by the
troops in case there should be an attempt
made to invade the Territory II was de-
cided that the troops could not act indcpend-
emily, but must await request from the De-
partment of the Interior before proceeding to
make arrests. lnO question was asked III the
communication "If arrests arc made, what
shall be done with the prisoners 2" 1t was
concluded that If the arrests become too nu-
merous to be governed by the marshals, that
the fact should be Mt once reported to army
headquarters. 1t appears from the communi.
cation that permits have boon issued to per-
sons to 20 into the Territory with herds.
General Pope states that this liberty is being
abused. When the herders get into the Ter
h,,il1 t,
solves from the weather while hcrding, aud
oltentimes the scailolding is repeatedly i'm.
proved until at last It becomes u settlement.
1t is understood that the permits already
issued for this purpose will be revoked, aud
the practice discontinued.

Tho story of q Southern Woman.

A long.thrcatened suit for seduction against
Senator Ben Hill, Of Georgia, was entered
yesterday. The plaintiff is Miss Jessie Ray
mond, u young woman twenty three years of
age. She claims $4,000 damages In her
declaration Miss Raymond alleges that in
November, 1877, the defendant committed the
oifGnso complained of, and the result of his
visits to her was the birth of child in
August 1873.
In her account against the Senator, for
which she now seeks settlement in the court,
she includes n long illness, the expense of
employing physician and a nurse, the dam
age to her good name, sho having previously
been of good character, and tho care aud sup
port of her infant child, for which she has only
thus far, she claims, received about $50, in
sums of IS.
This is the story rs told by the legal docu-
ments filed yesterday. There is little outside
of this that is interesting, as tho caso is q
very unromantic Que, and one which would
attract no special attention were IL not for
the high official position of tho defendant.
Miss Raymond makes no pretontions to aris-
tocratic lineage, and she is not particu-
larly handsome. Her story is that
she met the Senator first in u
hotel at Atlanta, Ga. and there he commit
ted the oifeuso which forms the ground for
her suit. She says that she has appealed to
the Senator and his family for assistance and
justice, but has not received anything from
them beyond the paltry sum of $50. An cf-
fort was made, she says, by tho Senator's
friends to compromise the case and save his
reputation by having another person assume
tho paternal responsibility. Miss Raymond
camo to this city some months ago and has
vainly tried, she says, to got some satisfaction
from the Senator. Miss Raymond says she is
destitute and friondlcss Recently she has
put her case into tho hands of Mrs. Belva A.
Lockwood. Mrs. Lockwood, thinking that
she could arrange the matter and obtain
settlement without the compulsion of law, de-
layed filing the papers in the case until last
evening. The papers were put into court
yesterday so late that the service of the usual
notice on tho defendant was postponed until
this morning.
When reporter of THE NATIONAL REPUB-
LIcAN called upon Senator Hill last evening
lie was the first to apprise the Senator of the
flct that suit had been entered against him.
He had expected such action for some time,
he said, as the parties concerned had threat
ened the suit He denied the allegations, and
pronounced the whole affair case of un-
mitigated blackmail. He declared his intcn-
ton of having all tho parties concerned ar.
rested for conspiracy and blackmai.

The Nomination of Lieutenant schenck.

Nearly tho whole of yesterdays executive
session of the Senate was devoted to discus.
sion in regard to tho case of Lieutenant Wood
hull S. Schenck, nephew of General Schenck,
nominated for assistant quartermaster and
captain in the Marine Corps. This nomina-
tion was reported adversely from the Commit
tee on Naval Affairs a fortnight ago, and was
at yesterdays session opposed by members of
that committee aud others on the ground that
the appointment would Jump" Lieutenant
Schonck over tho heads of some thirty officers,
aud although IL was admitted he was meritor-
ious officer, 1t was urged that the nomination
should be rejected to put stop to tho practice
of disrcgardng seniority.
On the other hand, it was argued that the
President had in this instance exercised II law.
ful prerogative of selection, and that the Sem
ate could not, without unjust discrimination,
reject the nomination after confirming nomi
nations during the past four years when tho
Jump" had been over greater numbers and
even from lieutenant to major and paymastcr.
1t was also pointed out that an appointment
to staff duty took tho officer out of the line of
promotion as an officer of the corps, or in other
words in accepting staff appointment he
forfeited chances of promotion in the line.
The nomination was confirmed-yeas, "a;
nays 1S; whereupon Senator Mcpherson
changed his negative to an Affirmative tor the
purpose of entering motion to reconsider,
which leaves the case in suspense until action
is had Oh this lattSr notion One postmaster

derstood that n careful canvass of Senators
resulted rs follows: For confirmation, 12;
against confirmation, 10; doubtful, l. From
the canvass made it is said that tho consultors
have concluded that it will be unwise to
press the question of confirmation to vote,
and they will therefore recommend the gov
ernor to withdraw Smyth's name. If Mr..
Sinyth's name is withdrawn it is said the
name of Charles Y. Smith will be sent to the
Senate for the Insurance Department, and a
canvass on Smiths name this morning shows
the Senators arc ready to confirm him.

lively interest in the proceedings.
Mr. Giltillan, who appeared MS q witness,
formulated his charges us follows
FlIst-rhe District authorities have not issued
and delivered TO the Sinking Fund office all the
ten per cent tax lien certificates required by the
second section of the Assembly act Of May 90 1873.
second-They have, not demanded, and do not
now demand or collect any interest whatever
upon tax.llen certificates not delivered as above.
ThiTd-Ihey have since October !, 1879 In coll
lecng assessments covered by tax.lieu certificates
I'm the Sinking Fund Office demanded but six per
cent. interest to that date, and for the tmO subse
quent TO that date have demanded no Interest
whatever.
FourtlI-They have revised assessments, paid and
unpaid, for special improvements prepared under
the act Of August TO-, 1871 though such assessments
have not been complained of as erroneous or OK
cessiye 0B required by the act OF Congress of June
10, 1878, and June q, 1879, by the owner OF the
property or his authorized agent.
Fith-They have revised assessments for inn
provements under act Of the corporation of Wash.
ington, dated long prior 70 the assembly act Of
August TO- 1871 referred to in tho acts of Congress
comforting upon the District Commissioners author
ity TO revise assessments aud issue drawbacks.
SiXth-rhe drawback certificates issued under
their revision are excessive and Illegal.

statement of tho loss to the District by the
non collection of interest on tax.len Certif.
Gates, having no direct information, but
thought 1t would approximate S45000O, As
to the charge that the Commissioners had not
collected interest on the tax.lien certificates,
tho evidence was tho accounts furnished by
the Commissioners to his office, from which he
would furnish an extract to the committee
In reply to question, Judge Don't said the
Commissioners denied the charge, aud Mr..
Twinug added thoy would demand a specific
charge in each case, In relation to the charge Of
revising assessments, whero no complaint had
been made, Mr.. Gillian said he would furnish
list of witnesses who would testify In rela-
tion thereto. Witness produced two certih-
Gates, one of which was originally for Ss312,
revised aud reduced To 1904, on which q draw
back certificate for fl3G,43 had been Issued
the other for Sl4i22 originally, revised and
reduced to $I4,74, aud drawback certificate
for Sl651l. Both these assessments were for
work done undor the old corporation of Wash
ington and hence the act of August, 1S71,
did not apply to them, and the revision, rOduc-
