The Stock Law.

Last week an important ruling, inyolv-
ing the constitutionality of the stock law,
was made by Judge Kershaw at the ABB
beville Court. The case came up on ap.
peal from a trial justice, with whom Phares
c. Martin had lodged his complaint
against Samuel j. Hester for trespass
by stock. After hearing the case the trial
Justice sentenced Hester 10 pay a fine of
one dollar or be imprisoned FIVE days.
An appeal WAS taken to the Circuit Court
on the following grounds:
1st Because the Act of Assembly un-
der which this prosecution is brought is
unconstitutional, being in conflict with
Section 20, Article II Of the Constitution
of South Carolina.
I'd. Because the said Act of Assembly
is in conflict with Section 10, Article l,
of the Constitution of the United
States.
These points we're argued at some
length but we're overruled ard the judg-
ment of the lower Court confirmed.
Judge Kershaw, holding that Section I
was germane to the title of the act, but
that even if the act were unconstitutional
in that paragraph, in all other respects it
might be constitutional. That stock
being driTen on land might we'll be de-
termiDed to be a trespass under the act.
That the stock law was not contract
between the Legislature and the people,
because il had been allowed to the people
ITO vote on the question. There was no
consideration, hence there was no con-
tract.
That the third ground is equally un-
tenable.
Notice of appeal to the Supreme Court
of the State was given.

What Gen. Gordon is Doing.

A New York letter to the Atlanta Con-
sHutioa speaking Of Gen. Gordon says:
Eight months ago he organized q COM
pany to build a railroad eastward from
Aberdeen, Or Columbus, towards Bir-
mipgham OF Blount Springs. The
scheme embraced road to the Missis.
sippi River westward, and to Atlanta
eastward. This road is now being built
from Columbus eastward. The Georgia
Western was an essential part of this
scheme, and on December 2Sth Gen.
Gordon purchased the charter from the
Louisville company. His company is u
strong one, and embraces such men rs
Mr.. levitt, president of the Erie Rail
way, Senator Randolph, and other strong
railroad and coal men. Arrangements
arc now being made TO begin work at
Atlanta on the Georgia Western, which
will be done in a very short time. There
is no flicker on our word this time, and
werk will certainly be begun promptly,
and under the most powerful backing.
Gen. Gordon does not want to interfere
with any other company preparing to
build to cheap coal, and will ask for
nothing from Atlanta or Georgia until
he ias started the work. Gen. Gordon
will return to Georgia in a few days and
arrange to begin work.

- The Crangeburg Democrat says :
"Henry Phillips, coored teacher and
minister of the NJ. f. Church OF Branch
vile, was carried to the asylum at COL
umbia last week supposed to be in a
hopeless state of insanity. His refusal to
vote at the last election brought upon
him the severest criticism of his race and
ostracism of his neighbors. This, in con.
nection with the refusal of the Annual
Conference at Florence to give him work
because of his not voting the Radical
ticket, as he supposed, so wrought upon
his mind as to dethrone reason and to
make him the pitiable object be is to-
day"
- Texas is about to enact law which
other Southern States should hurry to
initiate. The acquittal of Currie prompt
ed the following bill which was passed on
Saturday in theSenate by vote of 49, to 8,
and will undoubtedly pass the House and
become law: "An act to prevent
drunkenness and temporary insanity,
produced by Intoxicating liquors, from
being plead in justification Of criminal
offenses in any of the courts of the
State"
At the municipal elections in Penn.

Suicide in Clarendon.

WRIGnr's BLUFF, CLARENDON CouS.
TY, February l7-Mr Charles Rich
ard>on, young man aged about 25
years, keeping store some eight or ten
miles above here, committed suicide yes
terday morning just after sunrise, by
shooting himself with double. barrel
shotgun. He was to have been married
to-day. What connection this event and
the tragedy have to each other, in the
relation of cause and effect, is not
known. That the deed was premeditated
is evidenced by the fact that OH Monday
he rode down to Summerton, some eight
or ten miles, aud endcavored TO procure
supply of morphine from the store of
Dr.. Badger, but falling on account of the
refusal OF the clerk to let him have it, he
returned to his place of business, and on
Tuesday evening borrowed the gun from
ncighbor, retired for the night, was
aroused next morning by some negroes
who wanted to trade. After serving
them he barred the door, and very soon
the report ola gun WAS heard by family
of negroes living near. This unusual
oc1xrrence excited their suspicion, and
upon repairing TO the building occupied
by him as d store, and looking through Il
crack, they discovered his dead body
upOn the floor.

THE FUNDING BILL.

The funding bill has passed both
branches of Congress, and now only
awaits the Presidents signature to be-
come law. It's provisions reduce the
rate of interest on government bonds to
three per cent. on bonds which are to
run for twenty years, with tho right
reserved to the government to redeem
them at any time after FIVE years. These
bonds are to be placed upon the mar.
ket to raise money with which to cancel
the rapidly maturing bonds of the gov
ernment, which now bear higher rate.
Another provision of the bill, and one
which is relied upon to insure the sale OF
these bonds to a certain extent, is one
requiring national banks to deposit them
by the first Of July next with the Treas.
urer as security for their circulation.
This is Democratic measure, and for its
success or failure that party will be held
responsible. 1t is bold financial
movement, and has the endorsement of
leading 6nanciers aud bankers through
out the country. If successful, it will
place the credit of this country ahead of
any other in the world, for its bonds
will float at a lower rate than those of
any other nation. This action of the
government will likely give new stimu-
lus to all investments in various enter
prises which promise better interest than
three per cent. 1t will, therefore, be
seen that much money which has hith-
erto been put in United States bonds
will 60 into railroads, manufactures and
other enterprises, which will not only
advance the interest of investors, but
also develop the country. The result of
this new government loan will be to de-
crease the amount of interest which the
government will have to pay, and at the
same time throw large amount of capi-
tai that is now silent into active circula-
tiou.

The Inauguration.

The following, from Washington cor
respondent, will give some idea of the
preparations and grand sights which will
meet tue view Of visitors who attend the
inaugural ceremonies in Washington on
the 4th of March:
with the exception of about $4,000,
which was to be expended for fire works,
the money necessary for carrying out the
plans of the inaugural committee has all
been subscribed. From advces received
by the committee, the inaugural promises
to be grand success, and every effort is
being set forth to make it the most elab-
crate affair of the kind in the history of
the country. The new National Mu-
scum, in which the ball is to be given, is
q building of one room, but little less
in size than the National Capitol, cover.
ing two and three eighths acres of
ground. A dressed pine flooring is being
laid throughout the hall, which is being
waxed. The limit of the number of
tickets of admission-S,0 ,000-provides for
about six square feet to each person,
which will prevent the hall from being
overcrowded. The cloak room is being
Systematically arranged in order to meet
all requirements and avoid annoyance.
The room is heated with steam and light
ed with gas. The music will be the best
that can be secured. A band Of $50
musicians from the East has already been
contracted for. In view Of the expense
attending the preparation, no conpIi-
mentary tickets will be issued, except to
President.elcct Garfield and his family.
The work on the decoration of Pennsyl-
vania Avenue will be begun at once.
$4,000 having been given for that pur-
pose. The escort of the President-elect
will consist of about 10000 militia and
IA companies of regular troops and
marines. Previous to the ball recep.
,ion will be held in the Museum building
by General and Mrs. Garfield, President
and Mrs. Hayes, and General and'Mrs.
Grant. General Hancock has also been
invited to take part in the reception,
and it is thought from assurances re.
ceived by the committee that he will
accept. General Sherman will be grand
marshal of the parade, and will make
the presentation at the parade"

THE CHEROKEE INDIANS.
An Agent of the o. s. Government Pro.
nounces Bushyhead an Impostor, and
gives some Interesting Information Con-
cernins the Cherokees.

SpARrANBURG, S. c., Feb. IA, 1881.
Editor anderson MtelHgenccr:
sIR-To.day I read an article in the
Charleston Nc,es and Courier, credited to
your paper, headed "The Starving Cher
okee," and which states that Bushyhead,
their Chief, was in town soliciting clothes
and food for his band, and that the gov
ernment had cut off their pension on
account of their participation in the late
rebellion. Permit me to correct the
errors in the article. In the first place,
Bushyhead is not Chief or a man of any
authority or standing in the band. He
is an idle, rowing fellow belonging to
the band; an impostor, for the money
collected by him is for himself, and not
with the knowledge or authority of the
tribe. N. Jaret Smith is the Chief of the
band-an intelligent and prosperous 1n-
dian, who is now en- route with me to
Washington on business relating to the
baud. Cowana Saunookee is second
Chief. This band of Cherokees own
about $4,000 acres Of land in the coun.
ties of Jackson, Swain and Graham, in
N. 9. They are not starving, but as
prosperous as the white people about
them; q good, honest and industrou
people. They number about 1000. I
am now returning from my second visit
to them this year, as an officer of the
government, looking after their interest.
The government has never cut off one
cent of their bounties on account of their
participation in the rebellion, but has
cared for them as before the war, and has
within the last year compelled parties
who, before the war, sold them $4,000
acres of land with a bad title to substi-
tute therefor the same number of acres
with good title. The L. S. government
hold in trust for them about $4,000, on
which it pays interest at S per cent, and
is using the interest to educate their
children. The government has placed
12 of their boys in Trinity College. at
High Point, N. c., and 12at Weaverville
College, N. c., and - girls at the Coh-
Vile Female School, and has established
two day schools among them. As I
placed most of these children in the
schools mentioned, and have looked
after all their business of late, on the
part of the government,) dislike to see
both the band and the government mis-
represented by an idle fellow and an
impostor who has frequently imposed
upon the good people of North Carolina
and neighboring States.
Very respectfully,
A. P. PARDON,
U. S. Special Agent.

The minutes of the meeting on the 10Th
we're read and confirmed. The Commits.
sioner raised the question as to til. la
bility to the tax Of fertilizers purchased

intendent of immigration, and that the
officer so elected do prepare in detail and
report to this Board for its consideration
at an extra meeting to be held on April

COTTON MANUFACTURING.

The greatest industry upon which the
South can enter, and the best opening
for the investment of capital in this
country, is the manufacture of cotton
goods. The reasons for this are very
apparent to those who consider the ques-
tion, for if the manufacture is profitable
in New England, where their climate is
80 rigorous in winter as to seriously in
commode them in running machinery,
and where they produce no cotton, and
have to pay heavy freights in addition
to the cost Of cotton, it must be more
profitable in our genial climate, where
the coolest days of the winter do not
stop the mills, and where the cotton to
be manufactured grows in the greatest
perfection, and where the demand for the
manufactured article is sufficient to con-
sumo all that will be made in the South
for some years to come. Not only will
this prove a profitable investment for
those who engage in it, but it will in in
Vulnerable ways benefit the surrounding
country. For instance, the average
freight on cotton from here to the north
ern mills is about three dollars and fifty
cents per bale, so that the manufacturer
pays from one.half to three.quarters Of a
cent per pound more for his cotton at the
mills than he pays the producer. If the
.:otton was sold directly to the manufac-
.urer, he would either save this amount
clear or The producer would receive it in
addition to what his cotton sells for
Yhere it has to be carried North. In
practice, however, this amount would be
@,.bout equally divided, SO that the pro-
The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1881-02-24

of infdelity by other means than oppres-
sion. Such resort rs the indictment Of
Col. Ingersoll would only produce re.
action in his favor, and sympathy for
him. The Church is able to take care
of all its foes. while differing to this
extent, we still must applaud the inde-
pendence and lofty regard for the law as
shown by the Chief Justice of Delaware.
His example is worthy of general imita-
tion
The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1881-02-24

ducer would receive more for his cotton
and the manufacturer would, at the same
time, give less for it, thus making gain
for each. This gain would also be in-
creased by the commissions of middle
men, and insurance, storage, &C., which
would be saved also. Now when the
cloth is manufactured it has to be shipped
from the North back here again and sold
to our people for clothing and other pur.
poses. The manufacturer sells it at q
given price at the mills, but the con.
sumer pays this price, and, in addition to
this, the profits of the wholesale merchant
and the return freights. If the mills
were in our midst these expenses would
again in practice be divided between the
manufacturer and the consumer, also
giving gain to each. 1t would increase
the capital in our country, and would
keep the profits of the business in our
midst, to be invested in other enterprises
here, instead of sending it of to build up
other and, in many instances, unfriendly
communities.
This advantage to the manufacturer
and to the country being apparent, we
now come to the point we have in view,
which is to urge the erection of large
factory for the manipulation Of cotton in
the Town of Anderson. There is an
abundance of idle capital in the County
and Town to accomplish this purpose.
The whole County is interested in it, for
the reasons which we have given above.
Auy man who invests in it will derive
handsome dividends, in addition to the
satisfaction of assisting in the develop.
ment of his country. The Town of An
derson is especially interested in this
matter, for it will, if carried out, add
fifty per cent. to our population ard
greatly benefit our market. If some of
our leading citizens will begin the work,
we are satisfied it will prove an easy
matter 10 render it complete success.
We invite expressions Of opinion through
our columns from our business men as to
whether it will pay, and, if so, what is
the best way to accomplish tho end in
view.

At the Court Of General Sessions for
Darlington County, which is now in ses'
sion, Solicitor George w. Dargan, assist
ed by Attorney General Youmans, gave
out bill of indictment against Col
Ellerbe B. G. Cash for the murder Of COL
VIM. NJ. Shannon in the duel fought last
summer. Judge PRESLEY briefly charged
the Grand Jury upon the crime of muir
der, and instructed them that they should
bring in true bill, unless they found that
the killing was not done by Col. Cash, OF
that he did it accidentally or in self.
defense. He also charged them that self.
defense could not be pleaded where the
party placed himself i'll the way of being
assaulted. Col. Spain, the leading coun.
sci for Col. Cash, has been quite i'll, but
it is said that both parties will be willing
to 20 to TRIAL If q true bill is found. The
case should by all means be disposed OF
at the earliest time possible.

The parties charged with numbering
the Laprade family, near Winchester, in
Tennessee, were taken from the Sheriff
during their trial last week by an infu.
rated mob after dark, and hung to the
second.story window of tie Court House.
There were two hundred State MALTA
there to guard the prisoners, and they
paraded in the Court House before night.
At dark, however, heavy thunder storm
induced the belief that there would be
no further trouble, and the MALTA was
not in position to assist the prisoners
from the violence Of the mob, which only
numbered two hundred. The parties
may have deserved lynching, but it is a
grave offense to take then from the. very
hands of the Court, aud insult the laws
Of the State by hanging them to the
courtroom windows, in presence of the
witnesses to the proceedings ofthe Court.
The State Senate has passed resolutions
condemning the hanging, and calling
upon the Governor to use all of his pow
er to bring the lynchers to punishment
