Sam Seabaugh is now writing
editoria's for the San Francisco
Chronicle, and thus intimates that
he is ready for funeral fight with
the managers of the C. p. r. r. Co
I'VE have never descended to the
low levels of the organs of the cor
poration by traducing its managers
personally. as they have us. We
have spoken of the corporation
only. We have not singled out the
weak points aud black spots IN the
character of its individual man
ayers. We have not lied about
them. We have not slsndered
them. nor do We mean to. But We
give them fair warning now that
they must call off their kennel Of
dogs whom they have sent yelping
at our heels with fa'sehood de-, SLAM
ders, libsls, reiterated from day to
day about the character of this
paper and its dead and its living
proprietor, or we sha drop the
corporation method of speech and
take them up personally and paint
them one by one just as they are,
however hideous the picture may
be. As to the poor creatures whom
they have hired to wire and pub
lish lies about Us and the character
of the Chronicle, they caa go M
noticed, unnamed, unwhipt We
shall de.l with the master and net
with his hounds. This kind Of
tight has been of their sees ing, not !
ours. Thy challenged us to it. |
We accept the challenge. And We
promise them ia advance that for
every charge they can make and
prove against this paper or its pro-
prietors, dead or living-for they
have sent their hounds on the track
Of the dead-we shall make and
prove a score infinitely darker and
more damning in hue against each
and every one of them.

Much attention is being paid to
the alleged candidacy of r. VI.
Daggett for the U. s. Senate.
There seems to be no reasonable o.
casion for 80 much noise over the
matter Mr.. Daggett is just at
present holding very lucre,ive
Office az Minister to the Sandwich
Islands at a salary of 800 q year
and nothing to do. The idea that
he was sent away by Senator Jones
TO get him out Of the fight is simply
ridiculous. l. is pretty well es-
tablished fact that no man can rep
resent Nevada in the U. S. Senate
without meeting the expenses of
the campaign aztec most liberal
fashion. Mr.. Daggett is not man
of means ard would not think Of
resigning so lucretive a position to
battle with the uucertain chances Of
success is q Senatorial fight. He
will leave for the Sandwich Islands
on the Goth of this month to resume
his official duties there. In order
to run for the Senate he must be a
bona tide resident of Nevada, which
he is not. Touching the matter Of
Mr.. Daggstt's exile the Reno Jour
nal says:
MIR. Daggett is dubbed and "ex-
lied patriot" At the very time he
was a pronounced candidate for
Governor, and ASSERTING his friends
that he was not an applicant for any
other position, his l. tiers we're on
tile in Washington urging Senator
Jones to secure him the appoint
ment of Minister to the Hawaiian
Islands vice Comfy, whose term
was about to expire. With what
eagerne>s he permitted himself to
be ''exiled'' is best evidenced by
his prompt acceptance of the ap-
pointment, and immediate depart
ure for Honolulu The simple
truth is that Dsggett was red hot
applicant for the Ministership !; |
that he wanted it badly. He got it,
and Senator Jones is entitled to
credit for securing it for a Nevad. /!
man. and for Dagg<tt. 1t was the
correct and proper thing to do all
around. True, Daggett is IAN
exile" and a''pstriot. and being !
such will remain such. His dav
may come for tho U. S. Senate, but
he will not be elected at the next
session of the Legislature: unless
Fair dies or resigns. Meantime
he will continue IAN exile" and "a
patriot, with honor to himself and
glory to his country.
The APPEAL is of the same opin-
ion.

ARRAIGNMENT OF O,DONNELL.

O'Donnell, the slayer Of Carey, the Irish
infOrmer, has been returned to England fol
trial. On Friday last he was brought into
court, in London, under a strong guard.
The court room was crowded. Among
those present were J. c. McCoan, NJ. p. fol
Wicklow, and Arthur O'Connor, NJ. =. for
Queens county. Several witnesses were
examined, but their testimony has already
been published. Mrs. Carey, the widow
of the murdered informer, was called. She
appeared dressed in deep mourning and eX-
cited the special interest of the spectators
in the court room, and several murmurs OF
sympathy were heard. She recounted the
incidents of the voyage, corroborating other
witness in regard to the circumstances OF
the murder, except that she sWore that
after her husband was shot, she said
to O'Donnell: "You shot my husband.' p
ODonnell replied, "Don't blame me, Mrs
Carey. was sent to 20 it," whereupon the
woman who was with him said: "Don't
mind ODonnell; you are no lnformer.'
Cross examination of Mrs. Carey by MIR
Sullivan failed to shake her testimony
She denied that she had talked to her son
about his evidence. Magistrate Flower:
asked O'Donnell if he had anything to say
in answer to the charges cfmurdering Carey
O'Donnell replied: "Not at present" The
prisoner was then ordered to stand commit
ted for trial at the next session of the Cen
tral Criminal Court.
The Nation, published at Dublin, accuses
the British government and the American
legation in London of foul play towards
O'Donnell in the hope that he may impli
cate friends of Parnell in a conspiracy tc
murder Carey, the informer.

made affecting the salaries of postmasters
in South Carolina-the changes generally
being reduction. There are sixteen Presl-
Dental offices in this State. The salaries OF
the Charleston and Columbia postmasters
were increased $500 and 5000 respectively ;
Georgetown and Greenville 500 each; and
other salaries in which changes were made,
were slightly reduced.
- The coroner's jury in the Rose Amber
case rendered verdict last Saturday after
noon that the woman came to her death
by being choked to death by some person
or persons to the jury unknown. But from
William Lewis relations to her in the past,
and from his testimony and conduct since
her death and other evidence, the jury
think that suspicion points toward him.
Coroner Holt reports to grand juror, Henry
Crawford, the result of the inquest. What
action he will take in the matter is not
known, but it is believed that he will sign a
warrant for the arrest Of Lewis.
The statement is now made that the
census tables will probably be all published
by 1885, A grateful public will receive the
news with thanks. 1t was expected that
the work would have been finished before
1888. The information the reports contain
will not be worth much in 1885. 1t will be
five years behind the time, and in the
meanwhile all of our conditions are being
changed. The work of the Census Bureau
should be closed up at furtherest within
eighteen. months. It can be done with
money and administrative ability If the
proper preliminary steps be taken.

THE INJURY TO YORK COUNTY.
From the Rock Hill Herald.


FORT MILL, September 25.-The work of
the Railroad Commission has given our peo-
pie great cause for complaint. Our freight
rates have been increased from so to 300 per
cent. Take for instance the rate on mer-
chandise from Charlotte, n. c., and our bus
mess as merchants is with Charlotte and
points North. Before the PRONUNCIATION of
the Commissions tariff, we paid eight cents
per hundred pounds on allfreights now we
pay twenty-nine cents per hundred for first
class freight. On cotton we pay Is cents per
hundrrd pounds. There are few articles,
such as rosn, &C., which remain the same,
or that have been reduced from to Il cents
per hundred pounds but they are such as
we rarely buy or sell. Doubtless the Com
mission reasons that their great reduction
on the latter class of freight would more
than overbalance the increased rates upon
our cotton, merchandise, &C., and the inter-
est of the people be JaHhfuly guarded a.
gainst the oppression of the railroads. In
Stead of heading their freight rates for our
people with "Just and Reasonable Tariff"
it would have been more appropriate to
have said STANDARD Rates of Freight 1nim--
ical to the Prosperity of South Carolina and
in the Interest of the Railroads" This Sec
ton joins the chorus, Exit Commissioners.

LETTER FROM KINGS MOUNTAIN.

KINGS MOUNTAIN, N. c., September o.
We have been having in this section large
amount of rain, much to the detriment OF
farm work, and especially the picking of
cotton in the fields, which has been great
ly retarded. The'cotton crop in this section
Will be short. All of the August crop shed
its bolls on account Of the dry weather
prevailing at that time and continuing until
only few days ago. The cotton crop mere
will be about one half OF an average. pot
tom corn is fine early upland corn is toler-
ably good and late planted upland corn is
almost worthless. There will be an abun-
dance of grain, however. Wheat and old
corn are both plentiful.
Were it not for the (stills in this country,
corn would not command more than nifty
cents per bushel. do not think we have
many stills in this Immediate neighbor-
hood, but they are curse to any community
where they are allowed to retail the poison
GUS liquid. There is one about two miles
south of Kings Mountain. Report says a
man may buy there from five cents worth
up. The consequence is great deal OF
drinking, with both whites and blacks, and
the uuarreling and fighting that usually
attends drunken carousals. A few days
ago, at one of these gatherings, man was
shot and slightly wounded by his brother.
We have had series of protracted meet
ings in this vicinity. At El-Bethel church,
(NIethodistD 81 miles from this place. there
was preaching for eleven days, resulting in
G2 accessions to the church and 50 conVer-
sons. At Bethlehem, Baptist church,
the Rev. Mr. Hambrick conducted meet
ing which continued eight days and resulted
in "a conversions. This church is /! miles
from El-Bethel and miles west of Kings
Mountain. a very successful revival meet
ings has also just been concluded at Sandy
Plain, conducted by Rev. Mr.. Hambrick,
Rev. Mr.. James and Rev. Mr.. Duncan.

THE STANDARD TARIFF.
YORKVILLE. s. G.

The law creating a railroad commission
for the State, so far from proving beneficial
to the people by securing a reduced rate OF
freight, seems to have precisely the opposite
effect. The agent at this place of the Ches'
ter and Lenoir Railroad received last week
a new tariff of through rates which shows
a marked increase over the rates previously
prevailing. For sake of comparison VIC
quote through rates from Yorkville to New
York or Philadelphia as now adopted, and
as thew existed before the South Carolina
Railroad Commission attempted the task
of securing 'just and reasonable" rates:

\ paragraph is going the rounds OF the

Monday, drop letters will be subject to two
cents postage. This is an error. They are
subject to only one cent postage, as hereto
fore, except in cities having delivery sys-
tenn, where the postage is two cents. The
law reducing the rates of letter postage to
two cents went into operation last Monday.

this to let our Solons know part of the loss
they have entailed on the farmers of York
and Lancaster. Since we have had railroad
legislation and commissioners, the freight
on cotton from Rock Hill has been raised
45 cents, and from Lancaster 50 cents. per
bale. Rock Hill's annual shipments aver
age 1850 bales, and Lancaster's 10000, SO
that farmers who sell their cotton at these
points, have been taxed annually $6,O75 and
S. 900 on their cotton alone. MERCHANT.
