Officers Coach.

A superb little coach, built at the He
lena Shops, for the officers of the Road,
was taken to Prosperity on a trial trip
Wednesday afternoon, and it "span" over
the road like top. The coach is Al
feet in length and of standard height,
with balcony in rear. The exterior
color is Tuscan red, finished in japanese
designs. 1t is what the boys might call
daisy" within, both as to its appoint
ments and the economy of space. Its
interior of polished ash, cherry and wal
nut, with blue bordering, evince much
good taste. The style of furniture is the
Eastlake. Extension table, folding bed
and lounge, chairs, carpet, and all else,
harmonize nicely. Thecoach has draw
ing room, state room, kitchen, saloon,
room for heater, &c. 1t has the air brake,
the Janey self:coupler, globe ventilators,
and other arrangements to make it com.
plete. The doors are perfect gems, and
when this beautiful car is curtained there
will be no officers coach in the South
that will rival it in beauty, utility and
durability. Helena, and her competent
workmen deserve mede of praise

and you give them the highway and a

Unfortunate allusion of the Senator. In
this very mornings paper I see that "ir.
repressible conflict" still going on-strikes
at Milwaukee, strikes in St. Louis, strikes
in other large cities, of the free born, lib
erty loving white men of the North
against the aggressive, bloated plutocracy
which is seeking to grind them to the
dust. That is an "irrepressible conflict"
No, sir, we do not shoot labor at the
South, and if the honorable Senator
from Maine will go with me will show
him men with the plough handles in their
hands as good and intelligent and as
proud rs he dare be. The laboring man
of the South does not know what hunger,
cold and want are.
The Senator says that we of the South
cannot longer "blindfold" the people Of
the North. We are not seeking to do 80.
We have never sought to doso. Wewish
the people Of the North had seen and
could see the condition of things at the
South, and we wish the people of the
South could see the real condition of
things at the North. We want the light
of truth turned on all over this land.
And let me say to the Senator in reply,
he cannot throw dust in the eyes of the
freemen of the North, and keep them Ion.

Priester Caught in Greenyiile.

GREENvILLE, May s.
William Henry Priester, who slew his
father near Allendale recently, vas ar
rested here this morning. He arrived at
Greenville, where be is we'll known, by
the $40 A. NJ. train from Charlotte, took
street car into the city and stopped al the
Exchange Hotel. He requested the por-
ter not to disclose his presence, although
tue porter did not know him, and while
he washed his face and hands sent to as
certain if the livery stable was open. He
proceeded to Hillhouse's stable and ar
ranged for conveyance 10 the home of
his father.in-law, Mr.. W. r. Long, about
twelve miles from the city.
Several young gentlemen having recog-
nized Priester, notified Policeman Carter,
who arrested him at the stable as he was
preparing to depart in a buggy. When
first approached he attempted to pass for
his twin brother, but soon after his arrest
acknowledged himself to be VIM. Henry
Priester.
Priester asked about his father, and
receiving the reply that he was dead and
buried he completely broke down and
wept bitterly. His wife, who has re.
turned to her parents, was sent for by
Priester's earnest request and was per-
mitted to see him in the Jail this after
noon. Priester wears q haggard and
wild expression and declines 10 converse,
except briefly with intimate friends and
former schoolmates.
His wife, who speaks of him in tho
kindliest terms, expresses herself con-
vinced of Priester's insanity, the first
symptoms of which she says developed
themselves about three months ago.
Mrs. Priester also states that the state
ment that Capt, Priester requested that his
son be hung is not true; that the old
gentleman before he died forgave the
deed, but asked that if his son should be
captured he be dealt with in man.
ner to protect his fellow-men, hint
ing doubtless at his confinement in the
asylum.
Mrs. Priester's statement has 10 very
great extent assauged public sentiment
against the prisoner in this community,
where she and her father and family enjoy
the highest esteem.

THE BREACH WIDENS.
A Fruitless Caucus of Republican Sena-
tors.

WASHINGTON, May 10.
The Republican Senators held caucus
to-day of six hours duration without
reaching any conclusion except to hold
an adjourned caucus tomorrow at the
close of the session of the Senate.
The conference to-day is said to have
been marked with unusual bitterness.
Conkling made long speech, setting
forth his grievances against both the Ad-
ministration and Mr.. Robertson. 1t was
not denunciatory harangue, but was
rather plea made to win votes. The
Administration was championed by Con.
ger, Hawley and Hale.
The debate was mostly upon the Rob-
ertson case, but large part Of it was
devoted to the question as to whether the
stand upon the Senate officers should be
abandoned. This also was left unset
tied.
The result of the caucus excites much
comment.
The fight between Garfield md Conk-
ling still remains the subject of general
interest here. Both sides affect to be
confident of winning. Very few beyond
the most intimate friends of Conkling
believe that Robertson will not be con-
frmed whenever his name is brought
before the Senate. Precisely what method
the New York Senator will adopt is not
defined. H. has the control of the eau.
cuses, and through that potent influence
is master of the situation so lcng as he
can hold them together. AS it is mat
ter of life and death with him he will
strain his influence to the utmost to fight
the nomination off till next session.
How long the Administration Senators
will stand this remains to be seen. 1t is
clear that the President is being again
beseiged by Senators to withdraw Rob.
ertsoD, and it is just as clear that he will
not do so. He has received stacks and
bushels of letters from all parts of the
country in approval of his course and in
encouragement of a firm stand against
senatorial dictation. The strongest of
these come from Republicans of New
York who are growing tired of Conkling
rule.
The recent arrest in Philadelphia Of
some of the Star route thieves has
revived that scandal. 1t is thought this
is the mere beginning of the end that
will crush great ring.

STARTLING, IF TRUE.

There is some talk-in fact, a strong
probability that an effort will be made
in Anderson this Summer to elect a dry
ticket, and in view of this movement we
are informed that two wholesale liquor
dealers residing outside of this State
have, by their statesmen, promised to
contribute from two to six barrels Of
whiskey towards controlling the vote in
favor of continuance of license. If
such a policy be resorted to, it may be
that the Legislature car 6s induced to
absolutely close up the liquor business in
the town altogether. As long as the
citizens can express their will upon the
question of license, there may be some
pretext for leaving the subject to their
decision, but when regular campaign is
to be started, with parties outside of the
State contributing the sinews Of war to
corrupt the colored vote into subjection
to their purposes, then it becomes time
for vigorous action, not only by the tenn
.perance men, but also by all citizens who
desire the prosperity Of the town. We
will not submit to outside interference
in our municipal elections. and those en-
gagged in the liquor business, either within
or without the town, had better not un-
dertake to control those elections by
contributions of free uhiskey by parties
outside of the State. The people de-
mand fair play on this question, and if
.sthey cannot secure it one way those in
terested may rest assured they will do so
/ in another.

coSkL1NG MEETS his aATcH.

President Garfield is becoming earn
est in his contest with Senator Conkling,
and the rapidity with which be made his
attack has both bewildered and dismayed
the self.constituted dictator from New
York. Forcing oman Executive Session
prevented Senator Conkling from fully
preparing his campaign in opposition to
the New York nominations, but he had
in alarge measure accommodated him
sselftothe necessities of the situotion,
and was waging vigorous warfare. With
that shrewdness which always character
ICES his actions, he had prepared to
secure all that was possible out of the
contest, and therefore arrsnged to have all
of the New York nominations, except
that of Judge Robertson, brought up for
action; and as they were all friends
+ Of his, secure their confirmation, to avoid
any complications likely to arise out Of
the fight over Robertson. President
Garfield, however, had no idea of being
fought at such disadvantage, and there
lore amazed the swell Senator from New
York on last Friday by Withdrawing all
ofthe nominations for New York, except
that Of Judge Robertson, thus reversing
the tables on Mr.. Conkling, and requiring
the Senate to act on this nomination be.
fore Mr.. Conkling's friends are attended
to, and at the same time getting the
entire control of the matter of New York
nominations for the future. After Rob
ertson is acted on, he will be at liberty to
renominate Mr.. Conkljng's friends, or
send in nominations of anti-Conkling
men for these places. The Presidenthas
displayed a great deal of 6rmness in his
conflict with Senator Conkling, and from
present appearances be will completely
yanquish the presumptious New Yorker.
This difference has already badly divided
the Republicans in the State of New
York, and the bitterness is so intense
that prominent men of both parties think
the State will go Democratic in the next
election. From this it appears that
complete ascendancy for the Republicans
is the speediest way of overthrowing the
party, unbridled power often, defeats
itself, and we trust it will be so with the
Republicans during the present admin.
istration.

The fight between the President and

The fight between the President and
Conkling has absorbed public attention
to such All extent lately, that Malone
and his little bargain have passed away
from public attention. It is more than
probable that the bargain will never be
fulfilled, and that neither Gorham nor
Riddlebarger will ever be an officer Of
the United States Senate. Thus the
small Virginian will find that he has not
only sold himself cheaply to the Repub-
licaus, but that even the little price
stipulated for will not be paid him. Such
is the proper reward for Infamous per6dy.

DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF.

The war between the administration
aud Mr.. Conkling has commenced, but
when it will end or what will be the
result it is difficult at present to form any
very decided opinion. 1t is a Republi-
can fight, and the Democracy has no
interest in it, except So far as it may effect
the domination of parties, and thus effect
the great Constitutional principles
which divide them. Between the admin
istration and Mr.. Conkling the Demo
Gratis have but little choice. Both are
stalwart, aud have heretofore exhibited
no love for, but much of hatred towards
the South. In the conflict between the
two warning factions ofthe party there is
no principle involved; it is literally
fight for the supremacy of individuals,
and its origin may be traced to the Chi
cago Convention, in which Conkling
opposed the nomination of Blaine, and
the friends Of Blaine opposed and
defeated the programme of Conkling.
Both these leaders being defeated
through the opposition of each other,
neither was we'll pleased with the nomi.
nation of Mr.. Garfield, and both sup
ported him from necessity and not from
choice. Con! lings defeat at Chicago as
the leader of the Grant or imperial
forces, was overwhelming and mortify-
ing, and Mr.. Blaine, moro astute than
Conkling, seeing that neither Grant nor
himself could be nominated, did the
next best thing to his OWN nomination
by naming the nominee, and thus secur-
ing to himself controlling influence
with The new administration. In this
Re succeeded, and now has Conkling at
very great disadvantage. Neither the
administration nor Conkling eau yield;
if Conkling does so, he at once Loses his
influence as q leader, and his political
career may be regarded as at an end,
and if the administration should 10 so
il would at once lose the respect and
confidence OF the party. If the Repub-
licans make war upon the President, it
is more than likely that the purity will
meet with the same fate that the Wing
party did when it made war on Mr..
TYLER. There is but one thing which
NAV prevent this result, and that is the
power of cohesive attraction exerted by
the spoils of Office, which may hold
the party together, Notwithstanding the
antirathy and hatred of contending fac
tions.
