BY destructive fire in Wadesboro, on
Tuesday night of last week, twelve business
houses were destroyed, involving loss of
$4,000, on which there was insurance for
$4,000.
The story that ex-State Treasurer David
A. Jenkins, of CASTOR county, was recently
swindled out of $4,000 by confidence men in
Washington city is denied by the Greensboro

Abiding to the fesae law passed by the
Legislature of South Carolina, the Charlotte
Observer, after pronouncing it "a grand move
in the right direction, and indicative Of the
march of progress that is being made," says !:
eve have no doubt that the example of South
Carolina will be followed by other Southern
States when they see the salutary effects of
such enactments, not only in the vast saving
of timber and expense to the farmer, but in
the improved condition of the stock, and the
advantage it will prove to the lands cultiva-
| ted. Wherever it has been adopted the gen.
eral verdict is that of approval and an express
sion Of regret that it had not been adopted
earlier"
An unprecedented riot, in which several
hundred armed negroes were the participants,
occurred at Plymouth last Thursday, render
| ing it necessary for Governor Jarvis to order
out two companies of military to aid the sher-
| iff's posse of two hundred armed men to quell
the rioters, which was not effectually done un-
til the following day. The trouble grew out
of the shooting of constable by two negroes
who were resisting arrest for breach of the
peace on the previous Saturday, when one
man was stabbed and some others more or less
injured in the ensuing affray. The ringleaders
in the riot have been arrested and no further
trouble is anticipated.
- The sale of the States interest in the Cape
Fear and Yadkin Valley Railroad has been
completed so far as the action of the commits
sioners on the part of the State can effect the
sale. Their action will have to be ratified by
the Legislature. This road is to connect Fay
etteville with Mt. Airy, in Surrey county, via
Greensboro. Nearly all the grading is COM
pleted, and the road has been in operation for
several years from Fayetteville to Egypt, in
Chatham county, distance of about so miles

Canedo, representing the New York and
Southern Railroad, Telegraph and Construc-

THE CABINET.

In the selection of his Cabinet, President
Arthur seems to be adopting the theory of the
venerable Brother Gardner, President of the
famous Lime Kiln Club, by ''going slowly and
keeping in the middle of the road" AS all
precedent has shown, on the accession of the
Vice President a change in his cabinet was
inevitable, and to relieve the new incumbent
of all embarrassment, at the earliest possible
moment every member of Mr. Garfeld's Cab
met promptly rendered their designations. Mr..
Arthur was slow to accept them, intimating,
however, that in due time such changes would
be made as might conform to the ideas of the
Stalwart wing of the Republican party. AL
ready have some changes been made, and al
though the spirit of Grant seems to hover
about the White House. like Banquo's ghost
refusing to down at the Nations bidding, yet
even with the presence of this evil spectre
haunting the corridors of the Presidential
mansion, worse selections might have been
made.
Mr.. Frelinghuysen, the new Secretary OF
State, though Stalwart, is gentleman Of
average ability and good character. For sew
eral years he represented his State, New Jer
sey, in the United States Senate.
Benjamin II. Brewster, of Pennsylvania
Attorney General, is lawyer of high anc
marked ability, and unimpeachable integrity
He was selected by his predecessor as specia
attorney for the Star Route prosecutions ant
his appointment by the President to succeed
Mr.. McVeagh is regarded as an indication
that these cases will not be permitted to drop
Chief Justice Folger, of New York, the new
Secretary of the Treasury, is spoken of as al
honest, incorruptible man.
Mr.. Howe, of Wisconsin, who succeeds Mr.
James as Postmaster General, is isrepresented a:
a thorough Stalwart, a lifelong oftice-holder
and is said to have few of his predecessor:
qualifications for the Office.
Lincoln, Hunt and Kirkwood still remain
in the Cabinet.
Chief Justice Horace Gray, of Massachu
setts, has been appointed Associate Justice Of
the United States Supreme Court, and the ap
pointment unanimously confirmed by the Sen
ate. No dissatisfaction has been expressed
with this selection.

THE LEGISLATURE,

The Legislature will reassemble on the 18th
instant. Wepublish this weeka list of the cap
tions of such Acts passed before the adjourn
ment as are of general or local Importance,
though it should be borne in mind that the en-
tire list does not show the amount of work ac-
complished. There is great deal of unfinished
business awaiting action, among which is the
bill for revising and consolidating the General
Statutes, the whole of which has yet to be read
in the Senate. 1t is not at all probable that
further attempt will he made to repeal the
lien law, as during the recess members will
have had an opportunity of learning that the
quietus given that measure meets the approba-
tion of majority of the people.

A SINGULAR DEATH.

We have just been informed of the death OF
a young negro man which took place recently
in Bullock's Greek township, this county, the
occurrence being under very singular, not to
say distressing circumstances. Our lnfor-
mant is Rev. w. w. Ratchford, who knew the
deceased, but could only remember his name
as sJim,' his surname having escaped his
memory. He was missing from home near
seven weeks ago, but his absence did not at
tract special attention, his father having con-
cluded that he had gone off some where to
work, notwithstanding it was known that
when he left home he took his gun ostenslDlyto
go hunting. But on Saturday last, SIX weeks
after he disappeared, some CONSERVATION en-
sued by the accidental discovery, in lonely
place in the woods, about mile from the
residence of Mr.. Elias Inman, of the body OF
man apparently suspended to tree. The
negro who made the discovery gave the alarm
at once, and investigation proved that it was

CHARLESTON NEWS AND COURIER.

The publication of the above journal-ac-
knowledged to be the foremost newspaper in
the South-is to be conducted after the 1st
instant by joint stock company, the foun-
ders of the paper retainingtheir interest in the
concern. This change only implies that the
News and Courier, always on sure founda-
tion, will be strengthened in all the essentials
requisite for the production of first class
journal, and that contemplated improvements
will, at an early day, place it still higher on
the plane of Southern journalism.

being no secresy in the proceedings. The
leaders in the movement propose to take their
followers to Arkansas, where the inducements
of good wages and cheap government lands
are temptingly held out. The exodus has al
most depopulated some neighborhoods, and as
consequence labor will be scarce, though
the planters do not seem to manifest much
concern. One principal reason assigned by
the negroes for the exodus is that they enjoy
no political rights, and another is the passage
of the stock law.

demanded by the people after once testing its
practical working. The experience of every
locality where the law has been adopted by
local option bears out this assertion. With
the exception of one township, the no fence
law has been in operation in this county-in
some townships for several years-and our
is that the larger number of those
who most bitterly opposed it's adoption became
it's strongest supporters after it's benefits were
practically tested. Such has been the result
in other counties of this State, as we'll as in
other States where the law has been adopted,
and we feel sure the popular verdict will sus-
tain the law throughout this State in less than
six months after it has been tested.

depth of 4t inches, and it was really the ad-
vent of Winter in our usually genial climate.

Sales-day for January, on Monday last,

large number of people in town. The snow

were among the things unattainable, and con-
sequently there were no extravagant indul-
gences.
There was no property sold by either of the

COUNTY EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.

The County Democratic Executive Commit
tee failed to meet on Monday for the purpose
of receiving the resignation of Judge Wither-
spoon as chairman of the committee, and to
further take such action as to the committee
might seem advisable relative to the resigna-
ton of Judge Witherspoon as Senator from
York, which resignation will have to be made
by the 18th of next month. The failure OF the
committee to meet for this purpose is construed
to imply that they fully appreciate the prevail
ing sentiment of the people that it is undesl-
rable to inhict upon them al election with It's

The Hon. John Cessna, late Chairman
of the Pennsylvania Republican State
Central Committee, differs with ex Sena-
tor Wallace as to the magnitude of the
Independent bolt. Mr.. Cessna. who is a
veteran machine politician, is thorough
" scared. He wants Governor Hoyt to
convene the Legislature and have the
State gerrymsndered. According to
Mr.. Cessna, unless this is done the Demo.
Gratis may walk away with eighteen Con
gressmen and make things exceedingly
unpleasant for the Radicals in the next
House. With harmony in the ranks,
the present arrangement of the districts
is admirable to the Republican eye, but
with the family row, that is growing
livelier daily, Mr.. Cesna's concern is
pardOnable.
