The Survivors OF the Second.

SENECA CRY, August 22.-The sur.
vivors of the Second South Carolina
Rifle Regiment held heir first reunion
here to-day. From several causes com.
bined there was not IA full an attendance
as was desired. Col. II. f. Bowen. the
last commander of the regiment, issued
the call for this meeting sometime ago,
but it is supposed that great many did
not know Of the meeting. At IL O'Clock
the old soldiers, with goodiy number of
their friends, formed procession in front
of the Coleman House and marched to
the Mineral Spring. Arrived there they
seated themselves on tho hill, which has
the form of an amphitheatre around the
Rest house. Col. Bowen called the meet.
ing to order and stated the object for
which they had assembled, and then
proceeded to recite condensed history
OF the regiment from its formation on
Snllivan's Island through its many cam.
paigns and hard fought battles down to
the surrender. The record was one of
which any soldier might be proud. He
stated that there were 296 men surren-
dered in this regiment, which he claimed
was tte largest number surrendered by
any one regiment in Lees army. After
Col. Bowen, Capt. Wardlaw, Major Den.
dy,, Lieut.. W. A. Lee, Major d. L. Cox
and Lieut.. Col. Thompson were called
for and addressed their old comrades in
appropriate remarks. Besides the off.
GERS named above noticed DR.. 0. NJ.
Doyle, surgeon, and Dr.. B. F. Brown,
assistant surgeon, and perhaps Others
that did not know. AS far as could
be ascertained there were about eighty
OF the survivors Of this old regiment
present, and probably few moro whose
names could not be obtained. The day
was quite hot until about half.past
o'clock, when refreshing shower began
to fall. After the rain most of the vet,
Grams left for home, rejoicing that they
had come. A resolution was adopted
committee of FIVE, with
Col. Bowen "a chairman, to endeavor to
perfect the company rolls and appoint
time and place for meeting next year.
This reunion was held upon the anuiver.
sary Of the death of their frat colonel,
the gallant John v. Moore, who was
killed at the second Manassas Cores.

A Wild Romance.

OGDEN, UTAH, August 25.-Cousider.
able excitement exists in this city over
q report which appeared in The Wood
River Times last evening that party oil
COW boys had started for Yellow Stone
Park to kidnap President Arthur. Sher.
if Fairy has detailed two Trustworthy
deputies to look the matter up, with in.
structions to summon strong posse and
arrest the kidnappers, if the facts are as
stated.
The Times says that during the past
two weeks number of strangers, all
well provided with good riding animals
and firearms and resembling q party OF
regulators or Texas COW boys, have been
camped on Willow Creek, and consider.
able curiosity has been expressed as 70
the intentions Of the party. Some ac.
counted for their outfit by describing
them as party organized 10 60 up into
while others believed them to be a party
of Arizona rustlers. During several
days past some Of the party have ridden
aud mysteriously disappeared. From a
man who came in to-day it is learned
that the party who induced him to Join
and make certain pledges of secrecy
were organized to proceed to Yellow
Stone Park. They left last night, going
on the stage road, and the informant
escaped dnring the night. The object
of the expedition is to corral and cap.
ture President Arthur and party and TO
spirit them away into the mountain
fastnesses and caves, where they will be
fed but kept prisoners, while the mem.
bers of the party act as pickets to pre-.
vent them being surprised aud captured
while negotiations for ransom are con.
Quoted. The captain or leader of the
party has an idea that heavy ransom
will be offered by the personal friends of
the President, after the search for the
Presidents party shall have been given
up, and that half million of dollars or
more can thus be extorted from the sc.
cret service fund aud divided among the
party on the principle adopted by tho
Italian bsnditti. The escaped member
Of the party says that there are sixty.
Eve men In the outfit, some Of whom
were gueriilas in the late war, and that
fve wild Shoshone and Bannock Indiana
60 along as guides, and scouts who arc
armed with repeating rifles aud sea ping
knives. The leader is Texas desperate,
on whose head price has been set, and
with the exception Of two Italians, the
others are cov.boys. A grand council
was held night before last on the prairie,
when every man swore by bis dagger in
the fire light to do his duty.

DOES A TARIFF cHEApEN GOODS. i.

The Augusta Chronicle and C5nstitu.
tionaHs! has become the leading South

side of the question before the people in
the most plausible and able manner pos.
sible. Ita positions, however, are not,
in our opinion, tenable upon close exam.
ination. For instance, our contempora-
~ editorislly endorses the opinion of the
Chattanooga Tines that the Milledge.
vile Recorder seems to be Of the opinion
the United States would get steel rails
cheaper than present rates, ii England
and Germany had g monopoly Of ;is
supply, and adds: "The Recorder also
asserts that England sold Bessemer bara
in 1868 at S6l.S2, while our mills charged
3l05. The Recorder insists, that, at all
times, the American makers of protected
goods pocket the full sum Of the duty as
part of their profits; but how does he
make out that, in 1868, when this coun.
try made but 1886 net tons of steel rails,
the mskers managed to get $49. .6S above
the English price, or $l5.6s more than
the duty?' We are afraid that our es.
teemed Recorder is little 'oA7 on sta
tistice." The Chronicle must know tha.
the ex.ortioaate price obtained 10 1868
by the American manufacturers was the
result Of the tariff, for it imposed such
restrictions upon the importation of steel
rails that foreign manufacturers sought
other markets in which to sell their
goods, and therefore their competitive
influence in the United States was lessen.
ed but as soon as it was seen that the
American manufacturers were getting q
profit on the duty imposed. foreign com.
petition came into play, and tho nert
year the profits 70 the American mills
were reduced. The cond ition of thiugs
in 1858 was abnormal, ant! 1t was largely
produced by the existence Of tho tariff,
which caused foreign mills to seek other
markets, in which to sell their rails, than
the United States. A practical illustra.
tion of lae workings of the tariff may be
gathered from the fact stated by
wholesale dealer in matches in New
York, that the abolition of the Internal
Revenue tax on that article "has encour-
aged the American agents of the
sweedish factories to import Swedish
matches In large quantities. Every
s.eamship from Swedish port, eince
July 8, has brought matches. The
2aingvala last week brought $4,000
gross, and the HeimdaA, which 10 expect.
cd this week, will have larger consign.
ment. The duty Is 85 per cent, and the
matches are sold here for about three.
quarters Of the price Of our own home.
made matches." s. I'll
Thus II will be seen that the foreign
match comes here and sells at IS Ger
cent. 'leas than our manufacture, ,despite
the tariff of56 per cent. This shows that
the American match companies have
been getting sixty per cent. more than
tho price fos which the Swedish manu-.
facturers would have sold their matches
but for the tariff and the Internal Reve.

bought one dollars worth of matches

The Railroad Commission has at last
made their report fixing the rates to be
charged for passenger aud freight traffic
over tho railroads in this State They
have modified their original rates very
materially, the alterations being uniform
ly in favor Of the railroads. This was,
of course, to be expected, as the modifi
cations were made upon matters argued
before them by the several railroads in
the State. The Commission has reduced
passenger fares on the South Carolina.
the Air Line, the w. G. & A., the G. G..
& A. and the Central railroads to three
cents, OIL the Augusta & Knoxville, the
Spartanburg & Asheville and the narrow
guage roads. the charge will be four
cents; on all other roads it will be 81
cents. This is only reduction of about
half cent in fares. We do not know
how the freights will work-some Of our
penpie think Ts have no. been bettered.
At another time we shall probably have
something to say about the freight tariff.
