Lieut.. Flipper'S Disgrace.
The Money Rsfundsd-Littie Doubt Of the
Colored Officers Guilt.

WASHINGTON, September 1.-The
attorney for Lieut.. Flipper has writ
ten a letter to a prominent officer
here regarding the circumstances
which led to Flipper's arrest and i'm
prisonment at Fort Davis, Texas. The
attorney virtually conceded that Lieut..
Flipper was short about $500 in his
cash when ordered to make the trans
fer of the commissary accounts to his
successor. Part u this amount was
found upon his servant girl, and the
remainder has since been made good
By contributions from some citizens of
= Fort Davis. Col Shafter, command
ing Flipper's regiment, contributed
S100. Pending the time consumed
in raising the money, Flipper was
confined in cell and kept closely
guarded, but upon the payment of the
money be was released from durance
vile and placed under ordinary ar
rest.
Az attempt has been made to en-
list 10 Flipper's behalf the Influence
of leading colored men here, the ar
eumeDt used being that Flipper is the
victim of conspiracy to get him out
of the army. The facts, however, are
far from sustaining any such pre-
sumption. On the contrary, the evil
deuce at hand is SO strong as 70 leave
little doubt of Flipper's guilt. Among
the leading colored men the sentiment
is Enthusiastically one of bitter indig-
nation against FNpper, and if the
court NATAL before which he will be
tried imposes 4 rigorous sentence, no
effort will be made on their part to
mitigate the punishment.

If there are any who are disposed
to run their cotton off and selIit to
avoid liens we would call their at,
tention to the fact that such con,
duct would render them liable to
criminal prosecution. It is an Of
tense against the law, as well as
against honesty, to sell property
upon which there is a lien of any
kind without notifying the pur.
chaser of the fact.

The official account of the sale of
the Virginia Midland Railroad to the
Richmond and Danville Syndicate, as
given by Col. Talcott, is as follows:
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company, which owned controlling
interest in the Virginia Midland
Road, have sold their Virginia Mid.
land stock to a syndicate: at the head
Of which is Mr.. John S. Barbour,
the president of the road Mr.. Bar
bour's associates are parties who are
largely interested in the Richmond
and Dauville Syndicate, and it is be-
lieved that BY reason of this common
ownership in the two properties more
harmonious relations between them
will hereafter exist, and that the in
terests of both will be promoted.
About three years ago the Peunsyl-
vania Company gave up its interest
south of the Potomac by selling to a
party of gentlemen interested in the
welfare of Richmond, and now comes
the Baltimore and Ohio and gives up
it's interest south of the Potomac. 1t
is understood the Virginia Midland
Road will be operated as an indepen-
dent property, and that for the pre-
sent 30 material changes will be
made.

The agricultural condition of the
South cannot properly be called
prosperous when one short crop
can cause as much CONSERVATION
and distress as this present crop
threatens. An agricultural people,
to be really prosperous. must be
able to meet such reverses as
droughts, short crops, &C.; :; they
should have something laid up for
rainy day. If they have not, then
they are living from hand to
mouth It is lamentable fact
that a great many farmers are not
only living up to the present, but
are borrowing from the future.
Well, what is the remedy? One
says, Repeal the Lien Law; ano-
ther says, Plant less cotton, and
raise your own corn, -four and meat.
There is something wrong some
where; but what it is we do not
pretend to know, and, of course,
cannot suggest a remedy. We
would, however, suggest one thing
that has often struck us as a great
drawback to the farming interests.
It is this: Far too many men who
own small plantations rent them
out instead of working them them
selves. Two families cannot live
long off the proceeds of small
farm when one of those families is
idle. Those who own lands should,
as a general rule, control them and
work them.

Is it Possible

That a remedy made of such COM
mon. simple plants as Hops, Bucbu,
Mandrake, Daudeliou, &C., make so
many and such marvellous and won
derful cures as Hop Hitters do? It
must be, for when old and young,
rich and poor, Pastor and Doctor,
Lawyer and Editor, all testify to hav-
lug been cured by them, we must be-
lieve and douot no longer.-P0st.

SENATOR HILL. - The Atlanta
Constitution of the 3rd says: The
people of Georgia will regret to learn
that the trouble With Senator Hills
tongue has necessiated his return to
Philadelphia. Upon the spot from
which the old cancer was taken few
days ago appeared white granula-
ton about the size of the finger nail.
He asked for an examination of this
at the hauds of DR. ". +. Westmore-
land. DR.. Wcstmoreland stated that
it was best for him to return to Phila.
delpbia at once, that DR.. Gross, who
had performed the first operation,
might examine his tongue. Mr.. Hill
left on Wednesday evening, and yes
terday afternoon Mr.. B. H. Hill, Jr.,
received telegram stating that another
operation was necessary and would be
performed on Monday

The President at Long Branch.

The President has been begging
for weeks to be taken from the
White House. The physicians
feared to move him in his critical
condition but finding that he was
fretting over the matter and had
made up his mind that if he did not
get away he must die, they con.
concluded to take the responsibility
and make the experiment. They
said, if he remain here he will die :;
if he be- moved he may get well.
He was therefore moved to Long
Branch, on the New Jersey coast,
the 9Th, a distance of over two hun
dred miles. His removal gave him
hope, which is great consideration
to a man in his condition and he
has since been steadily improving.
He was SO much improved by
Thursday that three of the attend
ing surgeons, Drs. ReybHrn, Wood
ward and Barnes, were relieved
from their attendance upon him,
and he is now under the sole charge
of DIR. Bliss, with DR.. Agnew, of
Philadelphia, and DR.. Hamilton, of
New York, as consulting surgeons.
DR.. Bliss remains with him, while
the other two hold themselves ready
to respond to ally call for their as
sistance.
For several days following his
removal the President seemed to
improve greatly; but he took bad
turn Sunday, and the gravest ap-
prehensions are entertained.

Laying the Track Through Private Grounds
Intense Excitement and Sympathy Of the
People.
News and Courier.

ELBEkroS, n. J., September e.
IL P. M-The day opened full of ex-
citepert here. and many luckIess
correspondent went without sleep last
pight to be or hand when the last
spike IN the miniature railway line
should be driven. Those who tried
to sleep had hard time of it up to
I O'clock, until which hour the clang
of the sledges could be heard driving
in the spikes and bending the rails
for the curve, which it was necessary
to make around the FraDcklyn cot
tage. Every rail had to be bent by
blows from heavy sledges and the
noise was sufficient to keep every ooe
10 this aristocratic Elberon hotel wide
awake. But there was not word OF
complaint, qnite the other way. In
making a wide sweep at the Eiberon
end of the route it was necessary to
run the line right through the lawns
and shrubbery Of half a dozen cot
tages. The owners sat 90 their plaz,
zaS in the moonlight, and looked on
with approval at bit of work which,
10 other circumstances, would have
made them howl with rage. III
hare to run the ties through your
| flower bed,' I overheard foreman
say to the owner of cottage. You
! uay run them through the cottage if
it will do the President any good,
and welcome This is fair sample
of the temper of the people here.
/ At ! o'clock the crowd began to
! arrive, couutryman and city exquisite
jostling each other. About 1000
persons surrounded the Frauck]yu Cot
tage at II o'clock. Some soldiers
appeared with awnings and pre-
pared to construct canopy or COW
cred canvas way from the cottage
10 the track. At l o'clock the heat
was sitting. After half dozen false
alarms, the waving of hsndkerchiefs
! on piazzas rearer the main road than
the Elberon Hotel gaze notice that
the train was coming. AS the three
cars moved slowly into sight, pushed
BY the engine: the excitement was
such that many women gave way to
tears. A stop vas made within one
hundred feet of the cottage because
the curve around it was sharp, the
cars were uncoupled, and the men
who had worked all night at laying
tue track helped to push the Presi-
! dents car up to The door. Then
another moment of suspense aud the
canopy is extended over the edge Of
the car. A gap ten feet wide was
left at the side, and through it the
multitude, who are rightly placed,
see first four men carry bed tender
iy into the house. The crowd begins
dispensing at once, aud many persons
saw the tstrecher upon which lay the
stricken Head of the Nation. caught
just one glimpse of the pale face pro-
trudiDg above the pillows, and thin
wrist and arm resting upon the edge
Of the stretcher. The removal took
almost less time than it takes to read
| these words.

The Anderson MtelIigencer has
interviewed large number of far
mers on the question Of repeating
the Lien Law. The conclusion ar
rived at by the MteUigencer is that
persons who do not have to give
liens are in favor of its repeal,
while those who give liens are not.

ReOufiiatiOn.

In THIS paper is snort, Out tllne-
ly and practical communication on
the subject Of repudiating debts.
This matter has assumed proper
tions more or less serious in various
Counties but has not anywhere
assumed the proportions of Coun
ty movement, and we do not think
it will A sober second thought
will show not only the bad faith Of
such a movement, but also it's utter
iupracticability. Leaving out for
the moment the question Of honesty
involved, how would it be possible
to readjust private debts by public
action? Suppose the citizens OF e
community should meet together
for such purpose. Here is A who
is making q ! crop; B who is max
ing !; /, and so on perhaps A
worked his crop well, and B did
not. Will they all say to the mer-
chant and the guano men: you must
take three-fourths you must
take -half-or one. fourth? Could
such a demand be enforced the
merchants and guano men would
be ruined. As for the merchant,
he has, for the mc e.. .lart, furnished
the farmer by the aid Of borrowed
capital; and should the farmer re-
pudiate his debt to him, how is he
to meet his obligations? And how
will be be able to accommodate the
farmer any more, should he feel
disposed to do so? The truth is,
as is well known, our merchants
have always been kind and indul.
gent. And it is equally true that
our farmers have always sacredly
observed their contracts and hon
estly met their obligations. And
we believe such will be the case this
year; that this repudiation talk is
neither deep seated nor eztensive.
We have no idea that it will assume
anything like a general movement.
As to the guano men, they claim,
and we have no reason to doubt it,
that they have sold their goods at
a short profit.
The proper way for the farmer
to manage this matter, as all others,
is to attend to his own business,
and not go to mixing himself up
with other peoples debts. Let
each debtor arrange with his cred
itor, and leave other debtors and
creditors to manage their own mat
ters. The merchants, we are salts
fed, will be as liberal as they can
wherever a debtor acts squarely.
Any effort to force matters will
surely result disastrously to both
merchant and farmer. The pros
poets are indeed gloomy to a large
proportion of the farmers, but such
a movement as is contemplated by
some would make them infinitely
worse.

The immediate repeal Of the Lien
Law would not be wise at any
time. It would be very unwiso at
this time. If, however, the Legis-
lature should fix a date twelve
months ahead for its repeal, and
should get rid of it in that way it
would be worth the experiment of
farming few years without it. If
the farmers can ever cut loose en-
tirely from it: either by the aid of
legislation, or by their own e1er-
tions, we believe the State would
enter upon an era of agricultural
prosperity.
