Train Robbery.

On the night of Sept. 7th, the ex-
press on the Chicago & Alton road
was stopped at Glendale, a few
miles from Independence, Mo-, and
the express messenger and passen-
gers were robbed by masked men
of money and valuables to the
amount of perhaps $1,000. The
dailies are filled with the usual de-
tails in such cases, how there were
shots fired, revolvers pointed at
frightened women and no less scared
men, their money and valuables de-
manded of them, how they were as
obedient as lambs at the slaughter.
This gang seems not to have been
quite so gentlemanly as they usually
are; we notice that there was more
than the usual amount of profanity,
bluster, noise and rudeness. The
ladies were compelled to sit down
on the floor, and some had earrings
taken from their ears, and many lost
their jewelry. As usual in such
cases no one among the robbers was
hurt, bnt all made their escape. A
dispatch from Kansas City on the
9th says that Charles Fisk, notori-
Gus character, was arrested and
brought to Independence that day :;
that Sam. Chapman had "squealed"
and implicated the whole gang in
cluding John and Bill Asbury and a
man named Scott. A young girl
was in the gang dressed in mems
clothes.

is syOur' duty. to take measures. to aSCer~
tain and to bring to Justice these mask
ed violators Of tho public peace, and
tor this purpose, you~sheuld promptly
, invoke all the resources which the law
places at your disposal. In tho last
resort, should tho ordinary service of
process prove inadequate to make the
the necessary arrests, by reason ofany
armed combination, you will call out
tho posse co7Hitatus-Which call,
have no doubt, will be responded to
by all good citizens. In all cases of
this chaaractel> where citiZens are put
in terror by armed bands Of lawlcss
men, it is expected that the local au-
thorities shall exhaust all legal re-
sources to give adequate protection to
life and property before the State En-
ecutive can properly intervene, by cx-
traordinary exhibitions Of force, hith-
erto unknown to the administration Of
the laws in civilized communities.
Tho failure of tho proper county ofli-
GERS to exert their utmost vigilance to
detect, and their most vigorous efforts
to bring to punishment all disturbcrs
OF the peace, will be deemed conclu-
siYc evidence Of their fragrant neglect
OF duty or gross inefficiency. 1t is q
grave reproach to the people OF Winns-
boro, thata band Of fifty disguised
liorsemen should have been permitted,
undisturbcd, to enter their town, and
occupy it for several hours, with the
declared purpose OF putting in terror,
Or imtlicting violence upon, tho sworn
public officers OF the county.
In this connection, it is proper that
should call your attention to the recent
hrf Of ~ l,s II,
Zcns who are privy to any acts of Or
ganizcd violence, and fail to give any
information in their possession, that
may lead to the arrest Of the pcrpctra-
tors, pu1ttccpS crininis in their guilt.
Very respectfully,
Robert X. SCoTr,

This paper was issued when Scott
and his thicvish crew were frightened
out of their wits, and when the dirty
carpet-baggcr himself was playing the
role Of rcformer and pcacc-makcr.
How false was all his twaddlc about
cxhausting the ordinary civil rcmc-
dies before resorting to extraordinary
measures is well known to every re-
spectacle man in tho State. At the
very time when this letter was written,
Scott and his ring were making efforts
to place certain portions of tho State
under mprtial law; and it was very
soon after this that lie made his famous
speech at Washington, in which he dc
clarcd that the only law for the South
was "Winchcstcr-rihc law" The
paper is Interesting as a slight remind
cs Of the degree Of oppression and in
suit to which the white men of South
Carolina submitted, purely to keep tho
public peace and to avoid bloodshcd.
BY the way, we imagine that this
State document reads as if il came
from the pen Of Judge Mackcy. The
Judge was at that time very thick with
Scott, and lie is supposed to have
written the most important Of the car
pct-baggcr's messages, etc. We think
this letter sounds remarkably like some
that have appeared over the Judges
own signature.

An Important Meeting of the Board of
Examiners In Columbia Oh Wednesday.
The Columbia correspondent of the
-NeaoS d',d Courier says: "Thc State
Board Of Examiners met to-day (Wed-
ncsday) with full attendance. a
number Of vacancies in the county
boards were filled. The board was
thoroughly impressed with the i'm
portancc of securing greater cilit icncv
among the county school commission
ers, and with this object in view a
committee was appointed to report, at
the next meeting of the board in Sep
ten'bcr, whether it is competent for
the Legislature to prescribe by law
tho qualifications for county school
commissioners. The following rcsolu-
tions were adopted:
|. That tho attention Of the county
school commissioners be called to the
importance Of visiting and inspecting
their Scho0lS-a duty which in some
counties has not been faithfully dis
charged.
2. That in the opinion Of the board
the county school commissioners
should not be alloy eel compensation
for more than one hundred days in
each year fOr- the Office work, and that
any additional compensation which
may be allowed should be for services
rendered in visiting schools.
The board discussed the question of
the apportiormcnt Of the school funds,
the present system Of making the ap-
portionmcnt on the basis Of the attend
ancc during the current year not be-
ing satisfactory. In accordance with
the views of the board the supcrintcnd-
ent Of education will propose q bill
cmbodying the necessary changes in
the law. The bill will provide that
the average attendance for the last
preceding school year shall be used as
basis in making the apportionmcnt
for any year.
1t was decided to hold the next
Teachers Institute in Grccnyillo dur
ing the month of August. AS already
stated in this correspondence, an Insti-
tutc for colorcd teachers will be held
also, the time and place Of which will
be made known as soon as the ncccs-
sary details shall be arranged"

LUcERNE.-Coloncl Rion, who has
given much attention to luccrnc, has
made al estimate of the yield per acre
from a patch which he sowcd on the
18th Of February. The estimate is
made from square, ten feet by ten,
on which the growth is below, rather
than above, the average. The luccrne
from this square, being cut and weigh
cd, was fraction over nineteen
pounds. Putting it at nineteen pounds
the yield per acre would be S,276
pounds. 1t is safe to sas that the
half-acrc patch from which this was
taken would yield 1900 pounds-or
nine thousand pounds to the acre.
