Portions of the State Of Kentucky are
not as law-abiding as some sections of
this country. A telegram from Grayson,
under date of March goth, conveys the
information that a party of hundred
regulators rode to James Binion's house
on the Upper Big Sinking Greek, on
Thursday night, 18th inst, and asked for
John Boggs, notorious character, who
was concealed about the house. Binion
refused to open the door, but at once
opened a fusilade on the regulators,
firing some fifty shots and killing, it is
believed, one of them. The regulators,
who had come only to notify Boggs to
leave the county, then broke down the
doors and three shots were fired at Bin
ion, who was instantly killed. Mrs.
Binion's right leg was broken. The reg
ulators then took Boggs and hanged him
to tree and fired two shots into his
body. These regulators have been in
existence for many months, and are in
tended to repress lawlessness and crime,
but in the suppression of criminals they
often commit the gravest crimes them
selves. The State authorities are power
less to correct the evils, and hence in
some of the mountain counties of the
State the most arbitrary and lawless con-
dition of things prevails.

The Democrats in the House of Rep
resentatives have passed the following as
proyiso to the appropriation for the
payment of the expenses of United States
Marshals for services rendered in attend
ing elections:
Provided, That hereafter special deputy
marshals of elections for performing any
duties in reference to any election shall
receive the sum of five dollars per day in
full for their compensation and that the
appointments of such special deputy mar
shals shall be made by the Judge of the
Circuit Court of the United States for the
district in which such marshals are to
perform their duties, or by the District
Judge in the absence of the Circuit
Judge. Said special deputies shall be
appointed in equal numbers from the diff
ferent political parties; and the persons
so appointed shall be persons of good
moral character, and shall be well-known
residents of the voting precinct in which
their duties are to be performed.
This proviso will neutralize in large
measure the evil effects likely to follow
the decision of the Supreme Court of the
United States on the validity of.the elec-
ton laws. The provisions of the amend
ment are perfectly fair, and, if adopted,
will do all that is necessary for the equal
protection of both political parties. 1t
will also, to very great extent, prevent
the appointment of set of professional
hangers-on, who are unfit for any decent
service, but who have been sent out over
the State to do the vile work Republicans
have had for their ready hands. The
amendment will pass the Senate, and
President Hayes will not be likely to
veto a measure so perfectly fair and nom
partisan. The Democrats are to be con-
graduated on their considerate and wise
course in this instance.

The New York Tribune says that al
though Mr.. Conkling opposed Mr.. Blaine
in 1876, he was pledged to support him
if nominated for President, although they
do not speak. So Conkling and Wash
burne are not on speaking terms, al
though both are ardent supporters of
Grant, and it is generally believed that
if Grant does not secure the nomination,
his friends will throw their forces in favor
of Washburne, and thus Mr.. Conkling
may find himself compelled, for appear
ance sake from party standpoint, to
support a man for President to whom he
does not speak as an individual. The
enthusiasm of Mr.. Conkling, however,
would no doubt be greatly cooled off by
the nomination of either Blaine or Wash
burne. This loyalty on the part of Re-
publicans to the party organization is
worthy of Democratic imitation. With
us, if we do not like man, the tendency
is to refuse to vote for him if nominated,
while no such conduct is ever observed
among the Republicans. They vote for
their most bitter enemy if he is nomi-
mated, and by this means succeed. The
Democrats should learn from this to vote
the ticket nominated, even if individual
preferences are not always gratifed.

THE BLUE RIDGE RAILROAD.

The many rumors circulating about the
Blue Ridge Railroad are very perplexing,
and frequently excite our citizens with
grave alarm, lest the coveted prize be
grasped from our section and from this
State. It is well known that the Air
Line Railroad is figuring to control GER
tain links in the chain with view of
blocking any movement for its compile
ton. Some weeks ago it was positively
announced that this Road had control of
the charter in North Carolina, but this
was promptly ascertained to be mis-
take. Now the rumor comes that it owns
the Tennessee end of the Road, with all
of the chartered privileges in that State.
We do not believe this rumor, because it
would not secure the Air Line against
the building of the Blue Ridge Road to
the Tennessee line, and there procuring
another charter to Knoxville or some
point on the Cincinnati Southern Road.
The State of Tennessee wants an outlet,
and would cheerfully grant new charter
if necessary, and would further be willing
to help in the completion of the Road if
it were built to the line of that State.
This link would also do the Air Line no
rood unless it can control the interme-
diate link in North Carolina. In pur-
chasing the Tennessee end of the Road
from three to FIVE hundred thousand dol
lars would be necessary, and the prospect
of any return to the Air Line would be
too vague for them to- undertake it.
While it is probable no actual sale has
been made, still we have information that
influences hostile to the Blue Ridge Road
are at work to defeat any possibility Of
its construction, and the friends of the
enterprise should be arranging for q con-
solidation of all the charters and an on,
ward move to its completion by a.combi.
nation of the owners of all its links. In
importance to the commerce of the State
it is above any other Road, and it is sui
cidal to let it be taken from US. 1t is
also very greatly desired by the States Of
Tennessee and Ohio. If once put under
way of completion, large amounts can be
procured from various sources to press j!
to its destination. To combine and en-
thuse these interests, which are the same,
is the important work to which the friends
of the enterprise should now address
themselves.

The majority of the Senate Committee
charged with the Kellogg-Spoford elec-
ton have reported the seat as properly
belonging to Judge Spoford, while the
minority of the Committee report it as be-
longing to Kellogg. The Committee di-
vide according to politics, the Democrats
favoring spoford and the Republicans
fayoring Kellogg. If the Senate acts
upon the reports at this session a very
acrimonious, partisan and sectional de.
bate is expected. The Republicans have
been very anxious for an opportunity for
one of their periodical TRADES against the
Democracy in general, and the South in
particular. They are so well satisfied
that the Kellogg case will develop real
field.day debate, that several of the Re-
publican guns of largest calibre, includ-
ing Conkling, are loaded with "the
greatest efforts of their lives," in the
shape of written speeches which they
propose firing off during this debate, in
which they hope to make a little political
capital for themselves especially, and
also for their party. The Democrats are,
however, not likely to indulge the orators,
for It is probable the whole matter will
simply be printed and postponed to the
next regular session of Congress. This
will turn the tables on them by shutting
off their oratory, and at the same time
making public the most damaging
testimony against the Republican party.

Some weeks ago Judge Hunt, of the
United States Supreme Court, gave out
his intention Of retiring from the Bench,
and Mr.. Hayes thereupon informed SEN
ator Edmunds that the position would be
rendered to him. Soon after this became
known, Judge Hunt announced change
of his mind as to the resignation, and the
matter dropped. 1t has since transpired
that Senator Conkling induced the
change in Judge Hunts mind, because
he could not control the appointment of
his successor, and did not wish to see
Senator Edmunds elevated. Mr.. Conk-
ling is said to have gone to Judge Hunt
and told him that he had secured his ap.
pointment of President Grant, because
he wished New York lawyer upon the
Bench, and that in justice to him Judge
Hunt ought not to resign' Upon pre-
sentation of this phase of the case Judge
Hunt gave up the idea of retiring, and
Mr.. Conkling, as usual, carried his point.

The New York Evening Erpress an
nounces its choice for the Democratic
Presidential nomination as follows: "Our
candidate Democratic statesman
who can best unite the party and secure
the support of the conservative, patriotic
people of the country" Every true
Democrat endorses this sentiment, and
though there may be personal preferences
before the nomination, they will be ig-
nored afterwards, and the united Democ-
racy will move on to victory under some
good leader who will be selected by the
Convention.

COUNTY DEMOCRATIC EXECUTIVE
COMMITTEES.

There will be meeting of the County
Democratic Executive Committee in the
INrEIL1eENcER Office, at Anderson G.
H., on Friday the 26th day of March
inst, at II o'clock a. M, for the purpose
of considering the political outlook for
the coming campaign, and to take such
action upon the call for the meeting OF
the State Democratic Convention in
Columbia on the End day of June next,
as may be deemed best. The meeting
will be very important one, and it is
hoped every member of the Committee
will be present, promptly, at the appoint
ed time. The Committee is composed OF
one member from each Club.

The following is said to be sure rule
by which housekeepers can test the
quality Of tea so as to detect any imposl-
ton attempted in its composition: =.
Turn out the infused leaves, and If
they are found a good brown color, with
fair substance, the ten will be whole
some; but if the leaves are black and of
a rotten texture, with all oily appearance,
the tea will not be fit to drink. The
purer the tea the more the distinctly
brown color of the leaf strikes the atten-
tion. The mixing that is frequently
adopted to reduce prices results in the
two kinds of leaves being supplied to-
gether. 1t is important to see that the
leaves have the serrated or saw-like
-dres. without which no tea is genuine.

A Memphis dispatch of the Goth says
"the $50 shares of stock held by the
City of Charleston in the Memphis and
Charleston Railroad Company were pur-
chased yesterday by Newell, Duncan &
Co., of this city, at the rate of 3S4c. BY
this transaction the City of Charleston
realizes in cash about S145,000. 1t is
understood that the purchase was made
for New York parties" Our Charleston
friends had better put this sum into the
Blue Ridge Railroad upon the conditions
of the late Act in reference to that road.
Subscriptions from Anderson and Oco-
nee, with this sum from Charleston, ard
the subscriptions which we are assured
the citizens of North Carolina are will
ing to make, would ensure the speedy
completion of the road, and under the
conditions of the Act there would be no
risks whatever to run, so far as danger of

The Democrats of Columbia have
nominated Capt. Richard O'Neal, Jr.,
for Mayor of that City. They will be
opposed by an independent candidate,
who will receive the entire Republican
vote, and therefore the contest will be
close one. The city Democrats have our
anxious good wishes for their triumph.
1t is matter of Importance not only to
them but to the State. The Independent
candidate scheme is only plausible de-
vice of the Republicans, and if success
full in Columbia the temptation to try it
elsewhere will be increased. The Demo
Gratis of Columbia are jealous, and will
work indefatigably for the triumph OF
their ticket.

The New York Senate has passed bill
prohibiting women from engaging in
walking-matches, and prescribes punish
ment not only for the women walk
ing, but also for the managers and lessees
of the buildings. This is in the interest
of morality, and is endorsed by the lead
ing journals of New York. The walking
mania has not so seriously affected any
other section as to call for legislation, but
in the case of New York it is necessary
for the welfare of society that women
shall not be allowed to enter the public
contests.

If a correspondent of the New York
World is to be believed, the Tilden infu-
ence in the National Democratic Execu-
tive Committee is exceedingly weak. A
trial of its strength was made at the last
meeting of the Committee on three prop
ositions, each of which was promptly re-
jected by decided majority of the Com
mittee. One was the choice of st. Louis
as the place for holding the National
Convention; another was the adoption of
the "fraud issue" as the leading question
for the coming campaign, and the third
was the appointment of subcommittee
to arbitrate between the Tilden and anti
Tilden Democrats of New York. The
rejection of all these propositions ought
to show Mr.. Tilden that his day in poll
tics is over. '

with Sherman and the present admins
tration, has resigned the office of first as
sistant Secretary of the Treasury, and
will 60 to Illinois at once to "rcpair his
fences" He hopes to ride in on the
Grant wave next fall. It is unusual to
see Republican give up one office be-
fore he secures another, but Gen. Haw-
ley probably has "struck for higher
wages" and, with full confidence in the
election of Grant, thinks the road 10 the
United States Senate in the place of Sen
ator Davis is open to him.

Mr.. Nordhoh, of the New York Herald,
thinks Grant is the Republican bug-bear,
and that he is sure to be beaten in the
nominating convention. Senator Don
Cameron, however, is of very different
opinion, for he claims that of the 756
votes of the convention there are now
46O certain for Grant on the first ballot,
which gives him clear majority of 50.
In addition to this, he hopes to carry the
Southern delegations solid, which would
increase the ex-Presidents majority.
Grant is evidently growing weaker with
the people, but the leaders of the Repub-
lican machine are running it in his inter-
est, and will be able to give him the
nomination beyond doubt.

Another trial of Tilden's strength has
been made, and the old gentleman has
been distanced, as usual. The friends of
Mr.. Tilden have always claimed Penn
sylyania as sure for him in the conven-
ton, but the sense of the Democratic
State Executive Committee was recently
ascertaincd to be decidedly against him,
and it is claimed the State of Pennsyl-
vania is the same way. We predict the
national convention will be found occu-
plying the same ground. Mr.. Tilden is
and ought to be laid on the shelf politi,
collv
