WASHINGTON, April 5.-All the members
were present at the regular Cabinet session
to-day. The case Of Sergeant Mason was
taken up and the conclusion reached that
the President would take no action in the
case till the question pending in the United

gality of Mason's imprisonment was decid-
ed. The Secretary of War made report of
the case in which it is understood he sus-
tains the views advanced by Judge Advocate

Purcell's Case.

CINCINNATI, April 6.-Archbishop Pur-
cells debt aggregates $4,000, 900, and the
property from.sa .eoo, oooto 100000. To-
day the prosecution held that the Archbish-
ops estate is liable, aud that Canon law
would be examined to determine the rela-
tian Of the hierarchy to the property held by
church congregations. The first duty of the
diocese was to pay the debts of the diocese.
Some Of the counsel for the defense claimed
that Archbishop received property IS trustee
only. The cause will be long one.

The fleeing of Charles Francis Adams In
bunko game will strike the average Amer
lean with inexpressible awe. That such
games are played In Boston, Boston on a
public thoroughfare, and that the frigid
statesman of New England should frequent
such deadfall as this one Is represented TO
have been astsnishes the natives. If the
Story Of his mental weakness Is true 1t is
strange the country has not heard of 1t be-
fore and that he was not kept under surveil-
lance. We would sooner have expected TO
hear of him being nominated for Governor
Of Massachusetts, than that he was "rolled"
by bunko sharps.

THE Mexican Central Railroad, which is
being constructed by Boston capital, has
reached Celsya, 1872 miles from the capital,
and by widening a narrow guage line the
rails will be laid to Irapuato this month.
On the Chihuahua division 122 miles have
been completed, and on the Tampico divis-
ion iron has been laid for twenty miles.
President Nickerson thinks the line can be
completed In 1888 from the City of Mexico
TO El Paso del Norte. The relations Of the
road to the Mexican Government are entire
ly satisfactory.

TROrBLE BREWING IN FAIRFIELD.

Some person in Fairfield county has had the
effrontry to write, and the Winnsboro Ne,rs
and Herald has been so indiscreet as to print,
a communication calling upon the candidates
in Fairfield to ''define their respective posi-
tions on the all-important question of the Lien
law" The communication reads as follows {:
Messrs. Editors Please allow me short
space in your columns to ask single question !:
Our primary election is drawing near, and it
is deemed very necessary that the candidates
define their respective positions on the all-im-
portant question of the Lien law. Gentle
men, speak Out-are you, or are you not, IN
favor of the repeal of the Lien law We
will look for reply before the primary, and
hope ~tAat full barns and anticipated stuffed
corn-cribs will allow you all to see your way
clear to abate a nuisance. 5.

implied threat" This practice of 'springing"
questions on candidates ought to be abated.

After Capt. Witherspoon had delivered him

Natter Capt w Witlerspoon had delivered him
self, he retired in good order, and the Chair
man explained the absence of Hon. B. II. Mas
sey, candidate for Representatives. who, as
Chairman of the Board of Directors of the
State Penitentiary, had visited Columbia on
business connected with that institution.
No other candidate for Representative being
present, the Chairman introduced John +.
Gage, Esq, candidate for Probate Judge, who
spoke in pleasant strain, entirely in his own
behalf, and was followed by w. Porter Good,
ESQ.,, candidate for the same office, who took
up the thread of humorous discourse where
Mr.. Gage dropped it, and spoke with equal
earnestness in his own behalf.
At the conclusion of Mr. Goods remarks
the Chairman read a letter from VIM. 3.
Williams, Esq, candidate for reelection for
recommendation to the appointment OF Coun-
ty Auditor, regretting that the duties of his
office at this time prevented him from meeting
his fellow citizens at Fort Mill, but ne was
again before them for their suffrages, and if
elected would serve them to the best OF his
ability.

didates for County Commissioner, each ad-
dressed the audience briefly when, it being
ascertained that there wereno other candidates
present who desired to speak, the Chairman
meeting and the entertainment afforded by the
various candidates. He said it was the duty
of the people to support the candidates that
will be chosen at the primary election, and re-
minding his hearers that already opposition to
the State ticket is looming up from the Green
back camp, that party having nominated a
ticket he urged upon them the full perfor-
nance of their duty in the State election, and
hoped that section of the county would be full
ly represented at Yorkville to meet the Demo-
cratic State canvassers on the 18th.
In response to calls, r. II. Glenn, County
Chairman, took the speakers stand and con-
graduated the crowd on thes success of the meet
ing. Hewas glad to meet the people of that sec
tion, for whom he had always entertained the
greatest respect Hehoped that portion OF the
county would turn out en- masse on the 18th,
and as County Chairman he extended cordial
invitation to Eastern York to come to York
Vile on that day and hear Hon. Hugh 5.
Thompson and other candidates on the State
ticket. Reminding his hearers that there are
already two opposition candidates in this dis
trict for Congress; that the Greenbackers had
put forward State ticket, and that the
Republicans are by no means idle, he said the
Democracy mnst be on the alert, and the best
means to ensure success was to close up the
ranks, shoulder to shoulder, and commence
work mt once

THE GREENBACK CONVENTION.
The observation-disclosures Reform Convention
met in the hall of the House of Representa-
tives on Tuesday of last week. There were
120 delegates in attendance, Of whom one
fourth were colored and the rest of the num-
ber was made up of disaffected Democrats and
chronic ice-seekers. According to the pub
lislled accounts of the convention, Judge
Mackey was the most conspicuous parsonage
in attendance. lie was ascOnspicuouS not only in
the proceedings, but the only man Of the whole
number having State reputation. The con-
vention was called to order at half past II
O'Clock by j. Hendrix McLane, who made an
address, at the close of which he moved that
the Rev. I. D. Durham, of Aiken county, be
made temporary president, and DR.. V. +.
Clayton, of Fairfield, and DR.. Bowen, of Ma
rion, temporary secretaries. A committee on
credentials was appointed. Twenty-Five cOun-
ties of the State were represented, York be-
ing among the number which failed to send
delegates.
The permanent organization of the Conven-
tion was perfected by the election of the tenn
porary officers and by the appointment of w.
c. Mitchell, of Orangeburg, as sergeant-at-
arms.
On motion Of Robert D. White, of Charles
ton, a committee Of seven, one from each
Congressional district, was appointed on plat
form and resolutions. The committee was
appointed as follows Robert D. White, Char
lesion L. A. Wise, Richland; NJ. Kelley,
Williamsburg d. r. Elkn, Fairfield, L. j.
Shealey, Lexington; w. II. Brown, Aiken ;
A. B. King, Greenville.
Mr.. w. w. Russell, of Anderson, moved
that committee of seven be appointed on
nominations.
Mr.. Fishburne objected to this motion, and
made vigorous speech against it, saying
that the policy of the Convention was to
fight monopolies, that the adoption of such
resolution would place too much power
in the hands of the chairman, and that it
amounted to the usual plan adopted in packed
Conventions of carrying through cut and
dried ticket.
Mr.. S. Augustus Sanders of Summerville,
''heartily concurred in the remarks made by
the distinguished Senator from Colleton."
Mr. Russell withdrew his motion, with the
statement, however, that the delegate from
ColletOn had totally Inexperienced its pur-
