.Eudse Thomson Dead.

Hon. Thomas Thomson, Judge OF
the Eighth Circuit, died at his home
in Abbeville Thursday, the 5th in
slant, of heart disease, after an ILL.,
ness of only a few hours. Judge
Thomson was sixty seven years old,
but was well preserved for his age.
He was born in Scotland, and set
tledin e; rly life in Abbe7ille County;
was an able lawyer; during the
war he commanded a regiment OF
volunteers, and made a good SOL
dier; few years ago he was elect
ed Judge, and this position he filed,
as he did all others that he was ever
called upon to occupy, with honor
and credit.
Judge Thomson was member
of the Presbyterian Church, was a
consistent Christian, a kind hearted
man, though apparently austere.
He was man of great frmness and
of unAagging energy and perse7er-
ance. In bis death the State loses
one of her best citizens, the
Presbyterian Church one Of it's most
active and devoted members, and
the Bench one of it's ablest Judges.
Judge Thomson leaves wife and
several children.
1t is thought that Hon. J. S.
Cothran, the present Solicitor Of
the Eighth Circuit, will succeed
Judge Thomson on the Bench.

Miss Ida E. Langdon, one Of the
teachers in the Williamson Female
College, died Of typhoid fever on
Sunday morning last, lst instant,
after an illness of i've or six weeks.
She was a lady of culture and re-
fnement, and possessed many noble
traits of character, which won her
many friends and admirers. She
had been a teacher in the Williams

Spartanburg, it seems, will Sc
cure the new railroad which is to
run from Danville to Augusta-the
extension cf the Virginia Midland,
under the control of the Baltimore
& Ohio r. R. The road is to pass
through Spartanburg and Laurens
to Greenwood, and thence by way
of the Augusta and Greenwood r.
r., to Augusta. This is disap-
pointment to Greenville. The road
ought to have been located by New
berry; but Newberry is not disap-
pointed. She belongs to that hap
py number of whom it is said,
Blessed are they that expect no
thing, for they shall not be disap-
pointed.

The Atlanta Cotton Exposition

Will be opened the 4th of Octo-
ber. It will be a very important
occasion for Southern farmers.
There will be practical illustrations
of the best means of raising, gather
ing and preparing cotton for the
markets in short, everything con-
nected with the cultivation and
manufacture of this great Southern
staple will receive thorough atten-
ton. There will be exhibits of the
raw cotton from every section of
the South showing the quality and
quantity raised in each locality.
We respectfully suggest to the
farmers of Newberry County that
they should take an interest in this
matter, and that they send dele
gates from their number to repre-
sent this County at the Exposition.
Let them call public meeting and
take appropriate action.

ssgse1mond the Outlaw"
Some Facts Of Interest-Eis Capture-Conf
dent Of Vindication.
News and Courier.


AsHEvILLE, April 2S.-Louis r.
Redmond, well known as Redmond
the Outlaw, who some years ago op
erased for a short while in Pickens
County, in northwestern South Caro-
lima, and while there completely
thwarted every effort on the part Of
the United States Revenue authorities
to capture him, has at last been taken
in Swain County, North Carolina, and
now, lies in Asheville Jail awaiting his
trial. Charged with repeated crimes
against the laws of North Carolina,
South Carolina and the United States,
he has boldly pursued. his course, aud
while in Swain County vas in the
habit Of attending courts, elections,
church meetings and all other popu
lar assemblies in whose deliberations
he felt any interest. No one dared
modest him, and threat ouce made
to do so came near costing the au-
thor his life.
For. TWO years ne has gone in and
out among these people, and was on
friendly terms with most Of them,
when, early in this month the forces
of the Government, aided by some
parties who had conceived for him a
personal dislike. succeeded in sur.
pris;es him at ms own home, and
after wounding him seven, times,
seized the lion in his den. ....
Redmond is only 26 years of age, a
man of medium height, slender fg-
ure, bright Blue eyes, dark hair, and
open countenance. His bearing is
that of a man "nore sinned against
than SHINING Courteous and even
kindein his manner, he. nevertheless.
iupresses one as a man with whom it
aereawsll to keep on good terus: His
intense suferings do not prepeat uan:
ifestations of a fondness for society
scarcely to be expected in one whose
career has indicated equal Indifference
to what the public may think aod to
what It's laws may command. AS far
as his wounds permit, he is quite
communicative. He says he has a
wife and three small children; that
he married a Miss Adeline Ladd, of
Pickens County in this State that
she is an independent sort Of woman,
and although in very feeble health
viii, during his absence from home,
be able to take care of herself
aud Children. But for her state
of health, he thinks, he would
not have been taken. He comforts
himself, however, with the thought
that his captors, whom he alludes to
as ':the boys" will realize neither
fame nor profit from their adventure,
and that all charges against himself
will meet with triumphant refuta-
ton. ...zs. ..s..:s
The many publications regarding
himself he declares libelous and false
throughout, and is confident that an
impartial Investigation will vindieate
his character from the many asper-
sions BY those who would make the
world believe him monster Of ro-
mantle Wickedness.

The End Of the Deadlock.
The Star Route Rosues.
News and Courier.

"a b .
WASHINGTON, May 3--The Re-
publican caucus to-day, after a FIVE
hours session, finally agreed to adopt
the report Of the committee Of safety.
This ensures an executive session to-
morrow. Thus endeth the great
struggle. 1t is understood that a
warm and wordF fight occurred 10
caucus before the end was reached,
but Mr.. Garfeld's letter knocked the
bottom out of the senatorial concern.
The nominations on the Vice, Presl.
dents table will be referred to COM
uittees, and the treaties will be taken
ap Immediately Robertson will go
over under Conkling's objections.
Ii is now believed that thorough
investigation will be made OF the
Star route scandal, and that this in-
vestigation will be conducted in the
courts. The end Of the investigation
is not yet reached in the department,
and no information relative to the ez-
tent of the alleged frauds or as to the
persons involved will be there given
out. What the public has already re
ceived has been through the medium
of the records before the Congressional
Investigating committee on approprla-
tions of the last House of Represen-
tatives. The subject was then tho
roughly overhauled and the appro
priations committee unanimously re-
ported that there existed at least a
great waste of public money aud a
violation of the spirit if not the letter
of the law. The report Of this COM
mittee was howled down in the House
and, in fact, all over the country. It
was denounced as Democratic scheme
for the manufacture Of party capital
at the expense of the mail service Of
the United States: Even the news
papers now employed ia making war
on Brady and the great fraud were
: then engaged ID denunclatlons OF the
Democratic party and what was term
ed Sam Randallism. A Republican
member of Chat committee says there
is nothing new in the reported cases

tions may be confidently looked for

and that By the present General As

is a very difficult and perplexing
question but we hope that the
wisdom OF our Legislators may find
a way out Of the difficulties, and
will give us such laws on this sn''

The Senatorial deadlock was bro
ken the 4th. Senator Dawes, after
attempting to vindicate the course
of the Republicans and charging
the Democrats with revolutionary
proceedings, moved to go into ex
ecutive session, which motion was
promptly carried. It must have
been bitter pill to the ''stalwarts'
to be thus beaten after so long a
fight and such big talk.

Special to News and Courier.
WASHINGTON, May 5.-The Pre<i-
dents withdrawal of the New York
nominations creates general sensation
to day. It is regarded as an open
declaration of war upon Mr.. Conklins.
Mr.. Garfield had an Interview with
Vice President Arthur this morning:
aud reminded him of his {the Presl'
dent's) ultimatum that the New York
nominations must stand or fall togeth-
er. He would not submit to the
postpouemeut of Robertson and the
confirmation of Conkling's friends
AS Gen. Arthur could not promise
any change of heart on the part Of
ConkliDg, the message was shortly
after sent in Withdrawing all but Rob

Gen. Butler is one of the ablest
men in the United States Senate
But for the fact that be is q South
ern Brigadier' he would be the re-
cognized leader on the Democratic
side. Though not the ostensible
leader he holds a commanding po-
sition, and his keen intellect, his
devotion to principle and duty and
his powers of debate have made
him a man Of great influence in
public affairs and won for him the
respect and admiration Of the whole
country, regardless of political con.
siderations. His speech in the Sen
ste the 2Sth ultimo on the Malone
bargain was the speech of the ses-
sion. Courteous and digni6ed, yet
bold, unsparing and convincing in
its cogent facts and reasoning,
without directly charging a ''bar.
gain it proves, by unanswerable
arguments, that there was a bar
gain between Malone and the Re.
publicans. There may be doubt
whether the bargain was expressed.
or only tacit understanding, but
there is no room to doubt the ex'
istence of a bargain.
