field County.
COLUMBIA. Nav 81

COLUMBIA, May 81.
Yesterday evening difficulty occurred
in Edge6eld County about ten miles from
the Newberry line, in which Thomas NJ.
Blease, formerly of Newberry County,
was shot and instantly killed by Gardner,
his son-in-law. 1t is reported that bad
feeling existed between the men on &C.
count of Gardner's marriage with Blease's
daughter, and that Blease had made
charges against Gardner of delicate
nature, and threatening to kill him, had
sought him for that purpose. Gardner,
being apprised of his father-in-law's in
tention, killed him upon meeting him.

The Auditor Of Newberry County Kills
himself.
Levi Z. Folk, Auditor of Newberry
County, an efficient officer and highly
esteemed citizen, shot himself with sui
cidal intent, at his home in Newberry,

iect to attacks of brain fever, and had
been in wretched health for some time.
There Is no irregularity in his official
affairs, his books being accurate in every
respect. His private affairs, however,
were somewhat embarrassed. Mr.. Folk
was not dead at last accounts, but no
hope is entertained of his recovery, as
his brains were oozing from the wound.
Folk was married, and had several chill
dren.

1t is very probable that Gov. Tilden
would have on first ballot at Cincinnati
a majority Of the votes cast, if it were
not for the assured fact that the Southern
hostility to him renders it impossible for
him to command the necessary two
thirds vote, and therefore many shrewd
politicians, who wish to be on the win
ming side, will not vote for him, though
under other circumstances they would do
so. Even in the face of this very strong
opposition from the South, he will poll
in all probability the largest vote of any
candidate on the first ballot. We do not
regard his nomination as more than pos
sible, and should regret to see it exceed
ingly, but the South is bound to support
the nominee at Cincinnati, even if it be
Tilden.

Although Gen. Grant does not talk, he

Although Gen. Grant does not talk, he
seems to have son more communica-
tive. for Fred. Grant says his father
thinks time may come when it will be
necessary to elect some man to third
presidential term. He thinks the oppo-
sition to third term is altogether preju-
dice, and, as he is in position to en-
counter that prejudice, be is willing to
run for a third term to settle the prin-
ciple for the interest of the future vel
fare of the country. That is putting the
question in very unsel6sh manner, and
is no doubt intended to illustrate what
great sacrifices the ex- President is willing
to make for the benefit of his country ~
As we cannot get the Generals views
from him, it may be some consolation to
get them at second hand from his son
Fred.

JUSTICE FOR OLD SOLDIERS Wash-
i,,gton, May 2S.-The Senate pensions
committee to-day voted to report the
House bill granting pensions to certain
soldiers and sailors of the Mexican and
Creek, Seminole and Black Hawk Indian
wars. The bill provides that all pensions
under it shall be at the rate of eight
dollars per month, except for per-
sons now receiving pension less
than that amount, who are to be enti-
tied to the difference between the PEN
sion now received, and eight dollars per
month. The bill provides that the pro-
visions of the act shall not apply to any
person while under political disabilities,
imposed by the 14th amendment to the
Constitution, and repcals section 4,7lG
of the revised statutes, which prohibits
the payment Of pensions to any person,
or to the widow, or children, or heirs Of
any deceased person who voluntarily
aided or abettcd "the late rebellion"

1t was Gen. Grant and the Republi-
cans who raised the Presidents salary
from twenty-five thousand to fifty thou
sand dollars year. That increase was
made for future Presidents, but after it
was ascertained that Grant would be the
first future President to receive the in
crease for four years, his action in ap-
proving the increase was from his stand
point entirely unsel6sh, and for the, good
of the country. The country could not,
however, stand many such expensive
blessings.

The Democratic Convention of Cali
fornia expressed its preference for Thur
man for President, bat elected delegates
to Cincinnati the majority of whom will
vote for Tilden and the minority for
Field. Judge Thurman would no doubt
have preferred the Convention express
ing preference for some other man and
electing delegates who would vote for
him. The votes are appreciated by can
didates more highly than complimentary
resolutions.

We publish this week some amusing
letters from Honest John Patterson,
which the New York Sun puts in print
for the purpose of injuring Senators But
ler and Hampton from this State. The
letters do not prove anything except the
rascality Of the Republican party. They
show that to escape justice Patterson was
willing to do anything, and that to pro-
tect him the Republican officials were
ready to pocket their oaths and to de-
grade their official positions as far as was
necessary. These letters of Patterson
show that while he wanted to make
trade, such as the Sun charges, he did
not do 80, for if he had made any trade
with Senator Butler and Governor Hamp-
ton, it would have been unnecessary for
him to seek protection from Governor
Hartranft, of Pennsylvania, or the noto-
rious Judge Humphreys, of the District
of Columbia. So long as Governor
Hampton remained in Office everything
possible was done to push the indictment
against Patterson, and the corruption of
a Republican Judge alone prevented his
conviction and punishment. 1t was not
until after Governor Hampton had been
elected to the Senate, and near eighteen
months after Gen. Butler had been ad-
mitted to his seat, and after the Senate
had become securely Democratic, that
the prosecution of Patterson was discon-
tinued, and then it was dropped in con-
sequence of general policy of amnesty
adopted under Governor Simpsons ad-
ministration, by which prosecutions
against Parker, Scott, Kimpton, Cham
berlain and other Republican officials
under indictment in this State we're dis
continued; and Cardozo and smalls were
pardoned. This policy had no reference
to the seating of Gen. Butler, nor to Pat
terson,s vote in the matter, but was based
upon questions of State policy, with
which the New York Sun has no concern
whatever. In this matter the Sun, as
usual, has taken papers which prove the
rascality of Republicans to make an un.
iustiiable and ill.timed attack upon the
Democratic party of South Carolina.

The friends of Governor Bishop, of
Ohio, are urging him for The first or the
second place on the ticket to be nomi-
mated at Cincinnati. They claim that he
has never been beaten in an election !;
that he has never failed to receive large
majority in Hamilton County; and that
the majority in Hamilton County decides
the election in Ohio. Governor Bishop
is good man, and the arguments of his
friends are strong in his favor. Bayard,
of Delaware, for President, and Bishop,
of Ohio. for Vice President would be an
excellent Democratic ticket.

A BATTLE WITH THE APACHEs.
A dispatch from Denver, Colorado,
says:
The latest reports which come through
military sources at Santa Fe, and which
are telegraphcd from that point here,
represent that on the oath a sharp battle
occurred between Victoria's Indians and
a portion of General Hatch's command
on the headwaters of the Palomas River,
about thirty miles South of Ojo Caliente,
where General Hatch has his head
quarters. The Indian scouts took an ac-
tive part in the battle, and their chief re-
ports officially to General Hatch that
thirty hostiles were killed, while the
scouts and soldiers engaged claim that as
many as flfty-three bit the dust. The
battle occurred at daylight. In the
morning the United States troops, after
marching all night came suddenly upon
the Indians, encamped In what appeared
a secure spot. The fight at once begun,
and the Indians, taken slightly by sur.
prise, were soon Disconnected, and fled
in disorder, No information has been
received as to the loss of the troops
General Pope reports that Hatch's COM
mand is about dismounted, and will have
to follow the Indians on foot until its
horses are recupcrated, and Hatch says
if the campaign is to be continued as de-
sired by the General Of the Army it will
be necessary to take more troops.

The Chicago Convention met yester-
day. Gen. Grant will probably be NOM
mated for a third presidential term to-
day or tomorrow. We will give a full
synopsis of the proceedings in our next
issue, and from this time on our readers
may listen for music in the political
world.

Gen. Grant evidently thinks that great
men are growing scarcer, for in country
of our dimensions he believes it neces-
sary for the welfare of the country that
one man must have three presidential
terms-that is, be it always understood,
provided he shall be that one man.

Senator Thurman is the favorite of the
Democrats of California for President.
He advocated the bill prohibiting vessels
from China bringing more than fifteen
passengers to this country, and the Pa
cific States wish to see him President in
the hope that his election may give them
protection against the wholesale immi-
grafton from China, which threatens to
overrun the gold country with the
almond. eyed heathens of the East. -

THE INDIAN WAR.
Several White Men Kil1ed---The Troops
In Pursuit Of the Indians
ST ToUIs Nav

ST. LOUIS, May 81.
A Southern New Mexico special says
"The Indians attacked party of Mexi-
cans at old Fort Cummins Saturday and
one man was wounded. A paymaster
who was passing pursued the Indians
with his escort and fought them all the
afternoon. They retreated into Cooks
Canon at night. Since then five dead
bodies have been found in Cooks Canon.
Among them is Samuel j. Lyon, stage
driver. All the bodies are terribly
burned. A stage coach and three wag-
ons also were burned. 1t is supposed at
least four others were massacred. The
Indians left in the direction of Florida
Mountains. The troops arrived at the
scene Saturday and took up the trail of
the Indians"
SAN FRANCISCO, May 31.-A Tucson
dispatch says o. R. Smith is here from
Silver City and states that the whole
country surrounding that place is in a
state of terror and decentralization. Vic
toria and his band of no less than $50
warriors are spreading death and de-
struction before them. Troops under
General Hatch appear to be powerless.
A volunteer company of men are equip
ed, mounted and ratioped by the citi-
zens of Silver City to aid the military.
This company under Captain E. V.
Price, reported to General Hatch at
Magellan mountains some days ago Of
fering their aid. In response to this
offer they were informed by General
Hatch that citizens had better attend
to their own business, that he would take
care of the Indians. At that time San
Francisco Valley was being made desc
late by the Indians, the settlers fleeing
for their lives and not less than twenty
two people killed. 1t is also we'll known
that when a prominent officer of the
Arizona command sent word to General
Hatch that by a certain movement he
(Iatch) could coral Victoria in Bex Ca
non Hatch refused to cooperate and
Victoria escaped. The people of South
western New Mexico are very bitter
against General Hatch.
Upwards of 250 citizens have been
killed in New Mexico by the band of
Indians during Hatch's campaign of the
last three or four months. They also
claim that he has been defeated in every
engagement with the Indians and has
sent reports to Military headquarters
most outrageously falsifying the real sit.
uation Of affairs in his department.
