AN npoRrANr DECISION.

The Supreme Court has decided an
important principle relating to the home.
stead in the case Of Francis 8. Riley,
Plaintiff, against ,Clarissa Gaines and
others. The case was an action for par.
tition, in which Marshall B. Gaines was
one of the distributes, living upon the
real estate of his father, the Rev. Ma
thaniel Gaines, deceased, which vas to
be partitioned. There was judgment
and execution against him in favor Of
the National Bank of Anderson, which
was levied upon his interest in the estate,
and against which he claimed the bene-
fit Of the homestead exemption. 1t was
:contended on the part of the Bank that
the homestead could not be claimed or
set off in property which was undivided.
The Court has confirmed Judge Press
ley'a decision, holding that M. B.. Gaines
is entitled to his homestead in the estate
OF which he is distributee to the
amount of his interest. This decision
settles the principle that distributee
living upon the property in which hehas
an. interest can claim the homestead ex-
emption against an execution levied be-
fore the division of the property.

less of human life should be dealt with
as any other murderers. A few prosecu-
tions and one or two convictions will do
q great deal towards rendering railroad
travel more secure. An employee Of a
railroad company who neglects his duty,
as the operator at Norcross is shown to
have done in the company's statement of
the reasons for the collision by which
-ifr: Keys was recently killed, is as guilty
as the man who obstructs track and
causes the death of one or more passen'
gers, and ought to be dealt with in the
same manner, The only difference is
that the first is criminal act of omission,
while thellatter is a criminal act of COM
mission. The result to the travelling
public is the same. Men who are in po.
sitions where human life depends upon
the proper discharge Of duty should be
held to q strict accountability before the
Law for the results of carelessness OF
omission. It is the only way to render
the lives of the travelling public reason.

venting the picking of the top crop of
cotton. 1t says: Cotton picking has
been entirely suspended for more than
two weeks, the temperature being so cold
and the weather so wet that the negroes
could not be induced to 90 into the
fields. A planter at Fort Motto, Orange:
burg County, has sixty bales of unpicked
cotton still in his fields. a farmer in
Marlboro County reports that he has
been unable to pick out one hundred
acres of his crop. One of the larges.
planters on James Island will probably
lose one.third Of his crop, and on Wad
malaw Island q planter has turned his
stock into the fields, so great has been
the damage by the weather"
The same thing is true of the up coun-
try to considerable extent. Fields in
this county arc still white with cotton,
and down on tue line Of the Columbia
and Grecnville railroad there are many
bales standing open on the plants. The

TIE RECENT RAILROAD MURDER.
A Charlotte dispatch to the New York
Herald, dated January 10, says:


"The Corouer's investigation of the re-.
cent Air Line Railroad disaster near this
city. reported in the Herald Of the 2Sth
i. of December, which resulted in the death
and cremation of two white and one COL
ored man, eliminated in the arrest of
Engineer Wisenberry, of the second sec.
ton, on the charge of murder: The in
yestigation has been conducted with the
utmost secrecy, but it is reported tonight
that the arrest of other train men of both
sections is to follow. A procedure of this
sort ia so unusual that it has caused a
profound sensation in the community.
The intimation is that Wisenberry had
been drinking, though it is alleged that
he is a perfectly sober and reliable man.
Bail having been refused him, his coun-
sci are contemplating movement to
have him released on writ Of hcbeas
corpus, claiming that the only charge
which can be sustained is that of crimi-
nal negligence. The death by railroad
accidents Of thirteen persons in this
vicinity, within the last twenty days, has
aroused a spirit of inquiry aud determi-
nation which will not readily be put
down. The horror of these accidents is
further intensified by the fact that eight
of the victims were burned. 1t is also
currently reported that if this investiga-
ton results in anything like a case

will certainly be brought against tho

An Urgent Appeal to Every Lover Of
Order in the State.

The recent action of our Legislature
on the subject of ardent spirits calls for
the gratitude of every good citizen; for,
though the Law enacted may not be as
stringent as many desired, it is of inesti-
mable value as an evidence of the ten
deucy of the enlightened public senti-
ment of our commonwealth. This en-
actment conspires with other facts to
render the present the most auspicious
time to step still further forward in the
march toward reform and sobriety in all
our borders.
| 1t is conceded that there is a powerful
struggle now going on in the public
mind; and it is believed that our law
| makers will do much greater things for
US next winter, if we show them that we
| will uphold them in their efforts to rid
the country of the curse OF rum.
| Let US rally to their support. Let us
aid, as far as in US lies, in enforcing the
present law. Let us tell them, when
they re.assemble, of our earnest, anxious
longing for the total banishmcnt of ar.
dent spirits from our State.
Think how highly God has favored us
in soil, climate, in water power, in min
eral wealth, in scenery, in everything.
Think how instantly ample prosperity
and undisturbed enjoyment would rest
upon our people if the dreadful demon of
drink were driven from our limits.
Think that nine tenths of our criminal ex-
penses result from drunkenness. See
how our jails, our penitentiary, our poor
houses, and our asylum are crowded with
sad victims of the habits of drink. Think
of the lives of innocent ones jeopardized
or lost by the drunkard's violence.
Shall We longer quietly witness reason
dethroned, property wasted, confidence
destroyed, happiness turned to woe,
hopes blasted, lives lost, and souls con-
signed 10 perdition Shall we not
rather unite in q general effort to bring
these evils to an end (?
1t is, therefore, hereby proposed that
We begin at once to circulate for sigma
lures IN earnest petition to our Legisla-
ture to pass at the next session law TO-
tally prohibiting the manufacture and
sale of ardent spirits as a beverage.
Every reader Of this appeal, white or
colored, male OF female, old or young,
clerical or lay, who is willing to circulate,
or Cause to be circulated, one or more Of
these petitions, is earnestly invited to
write Immediately to our Grand Worthy
Patriarch, Rev. s. Lander, Williamson,

headings as each one will agree to use.

forward to victory.

Senator Conkling telegraphed the Hon.

Senator Conkling tslegraphed the Hon.
Thos. g. Platt. Republican caucus nomi-
nee in the New York Legislature for
United States Senator: II congratulate
the Republican party and the State of
New York on the choice of Senator
who never apologized for being stalwart
Republican" A stalwart is defined by
the Augusta Chronicle and Constitution
az;st as "a Republican who hates Hayes,
laughs at civil service reform, sticks to
the machine, obeys Coukling's whip-lash,
advocates third term for Grant and
damns the Mormona." This would be
good time for some friend to congratulate
the Republican party in general and Mr.
Conkling in particular upon the fact that
old ex-Gov. Spraguo did not use his shot
gun on certain memorable occasion.

AN INTERESTING QUARREL.

Those who ought to know say that
Grant and Conkling would prefer seeing
Ee ex-Presidept Davis or Senator Wade
Hampton Secretary Of State rather than
Senator Blaine. Blaine and Conklins.
do not speak, in consequence Of remarks
of Blaine to the effect that the New York
Senator strutted like a turkey gobbler,
and some other, like complimentary -criti-
cisms. The cause of the trouble with
Gen. Chant is related in recent letter to
the Philadelphia Times, as follows:
The quarrel between Grant aud Blaine,
as hear it, is very amusing, and more
like two school-boys than two great big
men, who have now or ayehad the eyes
of the whole country bent toward them.
I will not vouch for the story, but this is
the way ir came to me. After the
Chicago Convention, smarting somewhat
under his defeat, Blaine consoled himself
BY saying TO some friends: ,"Well, have
beaten that fellow Grant, anyway" A
little cold consolation like that ought not
to be complained Of I know that after
Sherman failed of nomination at Chicago
he had some very severe things to say
about Charley Foster-much more severe,
indeed, than Blaine said about Grant
but it was in anger, and no doubt he
long ago repented of his choler. How
ever, what Blaine said of Grant was
| kindly repeated to the latter, who be-
came greatly incensed.
This fact, in turn, was brought to
Blaine. He could not believe it, and,
being anxious to do the polite thing on
his part and to show that he had no per.
| sonal feeling against Grant, the next
time hs went to New York he called at
Grants hotel and sent bis card-two
cards, indeed, one to General and one to
| Mrs. Grant. with the name on each. To
these the Grants paid not the slightest
attention, although Blaine waited for
more than half an hour for his answer.
| Not very long sftor that Grant came to
Washington and was received by the
United States Senate. When that au.
gust body adjourned for that purpose
there were two senators who did not
greet the, ex.President; one was Mr..
Blaine and the other was Mr. Voorhees,.
They were down in the Senate restau.
| rant eating some cold roast beef and
ldrinking glass of beer. The story still
goes on to say that a few weeks later
Mr.. Blaine was again in New York. and
having some business with down town
banker ho strobe into the latter's private
Office, as usual unannouncsd. There sat
Mr.. Grant, not two feet off, and there
stood the banker by his side. The eyes
of the two distinguished men met for an
| instant, but not a word was spoken
between them. Mr.. Blaine at once said
to the banker: "Mr. -, I wanted to see
you a moment, but I see you are engaged,
and I will call again." Then he turned
and left, as cool as though he were leav-
| ing his dinner table. They have never
met since. understand that Grant is
very angry. Well, the world will go
along just the same.

GARFIELD AND rHE NEGRO.

General Garfield is having consider.
able portion Of his time at Mentor occu-
pied by delegations of colored men visit
ing him for the purpose Of laying the
condition and so-called grievances of
their race before him. The replies Of
the President elect have SO far been SEN
.sible and to the point, evincing more
than an average understanding of the
situation down South. We apprehend
that he will, not place himself entirely in
the hands Of Elliott & Co. in forming his
Southern policy. It may be that the
new President has the craftsmanship to
see that the greatest need Of the Union
is q permanent settlement of the race
problem, and that he has the ability to
sgrapple with it. A wise, firm and intel.
Ggent policy on the part Of the incoming
administration in dealing with the negro
will win for General Garfield the graft
s Ttnde Of the whole country and high
position in history. The negro ought to
be taught that government is sacred
trust. to be committed to the care of those
best qualified by experience, intelligence,
education and honesty. This is all the
South asks. Let the negro fit himself by
education and practical business. demon
stration of his qualification for Office, and
then there will be no opposition to his
prefefment to Office upon the same terms
as tho white man. We believe General
Garfield holds these views, and if he will
only carry them ont the whole country
will have an agreeable surprise.

TIE INAUGURATION CEREMONIES.

The coming Inauguration of General
Garfield as President of the United States
will undoubtedly be very grand affair,
exceeding the display and demonstration
of any preceding Inauguration. In ad'
ditiou to the usual and official ceremo.
MES, the friends of Gen. Garfield are
preparing q mammoth parade, to be par
ticipated in by all of the military COM
panies and organizations of the United
States that can be present. The parade
is in charge of Col. 81. G. Corbin, Assis.

States Army, and all communications

ton, D. c. Upon this occasion there is
no reason to oppose or object to this
demonstration, for Gen. Garfield was
undoubtedly elected President, and there
will be no opposition to his Inauguration.
All sections aud all parties admit his due
election, and whatever may have been
the acrimonies of the late campaign, all
true citizens look upon him now as the
next President of the United States, and
desire peaceful, prosperous end success
full administration for him. Therefore,
Republicans and Democrats, Northerners
and Southerners, will alike cheerfully
participate in the honors it is proposed
to do him ON the day Of his Inaugural
ton. But in spite Of all this, there is
danger lurking in this innovation, and at
no distant day it may prove the bane Of
our Republic. The congregation of large
bodies Of troops at the Capitol on the
day Of Inauguration would prove most
disastrous in the event of disputed
presidential election. Then the appeal
would be to brute force, instead of the
regularly constituted authorities for the
settlement of the question. 1t is the
of new and unknown force
in our system Of government, and We
cannot estimate its results. We think,
therefore, that it is to be regretted that
this departure from the moorings OF the
past has crert into our Republic, and
bona that It will never be repeated again.
Iuasmucb, however, as the parade is to
take place, as many Southern companies
should participate as possible, in order
to show that our people have no preju'
dice or hostility to tho incoming admin
is!ration.
We would like to see the Palmetto
Riaemen of Anderson represented there,
and hope tho necessary arrangements can
bo made.

ouH RELATIONS WITH CHINA.

= lrf ! e. ~
The Commission appointed BY the
United States to revise our treaties with
China has succeeded beyond the most
sanguine expectations of our people in
securing treaty which is just and equi.
table to both nations. The Commission
made two treaties. The frst and most
important of which is in substance as
follows:
tWhenever, in the opinion of the
Government of the United States, the
i coming of Chinese laborers to the United
States, or their residence therein, affect,
or threaten to affect, the interests of that
country, to endanger the good order Of
the ssid country, or of any locality within
the territory thereof, the Government of
China agrees that the Government Of
the United States may regulate, limit, or
suspend such coming or residence, but
may not absolutely prohibit it. The
Limitation or suspension shall be reason
able and shall apply only to Chinese who
NAV 20 to the United States as laborers,
other classes not being included in the
limitation. Legislation taken in regard
to Chinese laborers will be of such a
character only as is necessary to enforce
the regulation, limitation, or suspension
of immigration, and immigrants shall
not be subject to personal maltreatment
or abuse"
This treaty, it will be seen, gives to the
Chinaman the right to reside here for the
purposes of travel, trade or business other
than that of laborers, but gives this Gov
ernmept entire control of the objection.
able features of Chinese immigration.
The second treaty relates to commerce
between the two nations, and is merely
supplementary to previous treaties. For
the success of the Commission Col. W.
II. Trescot is entitled to the credit. He
is an accomplished diplomat, and before
he left for his uncertain errand we said
that if any person could secure favora-
BILE treaty be was the man. The result
has verified the prediction. This treaty
places Col. Trescot in the front rank of
American diplomats, and will doubtless
lead to deserved promotion.
