Packed In a Bale OF Cotton.

TITTTTTVTFF
over in Laurens county, s. c., last We'd
nesday, some negroes while packing bale
OF cotton stopped for dinner, leaving
about 200 pounds OF cotton in the press.
1t is supposed that the boy, John Elmore,
about fourteen years old, went into the
baling-box and fell asleep on the unpacked
cotton. When the hands returned they
finished piling in the cotton to complete
the bale, not knowing that the boy was
asleep. When the cotton had been put in
the screw OF the press was run down,
thereby crushing the unsuspecting but i'll
fated sleeper, whose condition was acct
dentally discovered by small piece OF his
coat protruding. The bale was unpacked,
and the remains taken out and buried.

A RUPTURE BETWEEN THE PRESIDENT AN

WASHINGTON, January 6.-There has been
arupture between the President and Malone.
The trouble grew out Of MahoRe's opposi-

lhs District judgeship, vacated in July by
Judge Rives, the author of the notorious
letter, year ago, upon the LyDchburg post
mastersbip, which disclosed bargain be-
tween the administration and the Readius-
ters. Mosby has tired of the consulship st
Hong Kong, and wants to be provided for at
home. He aims high for a man whose legal
experience mainly sntsda,ed the war, his
practice then barely keeping him alive But
he turned out we'll as soldier, was prompt
at repentance when the war ended, and since
then the party has dealt kindly by him.
Among other friends he counts Gen. Grant,

was directed after Judge Rives's resignation.
The President thought we'll OF Gen. Grants

a person unfit for public trust. Ma

"Ap-N MEAN SPEECH -
RATHER HEATED TALK BETWEEN SENA-
TOPS T0HAN ANN

TORS LOGAN AND VANCE.
WASHINGTON, January 6.-It is reported
that a rather heated talk took place be-
tween Senators Logan and Vance, Thurs
day evening, soon alter Logan finished his
last speech in the Fitz John Porter case.
In his speech Mr.. Logan, referring to the
solid Democratic vote 10 favor of Fiiz John
Porter, said: "This vote means that that
side OF the chamber lie ready to restore those
who played us false or acted false part
on our side during the war"
Mr.. Vance walked over toward the Re-
publican side, and meeting Mr.. Logan near
the main entrance to the chamber, said
"rhat was d-n mean speech of yours,
Logan"
Mr.. Logan replied that he was sincere in
what he said, and that he didn't mean to
hurt anyone's feelings.
Mr.. Vance said: "Whether you did or not
you impugned the motives of Southern sem
ators in not voting with you, and you made
a charge that is wholly uufounded and un-
justi6sble. You know very well II 1t the
Southern senators have not said word in
this debate on the Fiz John Porter case,
and haven't attempted to influence any votes
in his behalf. We have voted to suit our
selves, and that we have right 10 do with.
oct having flung at US such a charge as you
have made. The Porter case was not brought
up by us, and is net chanipioned by us. The
case is under the sole care of two Northern
senstors-one a Republican, the other q
Democrat. If We didn't want to read the
evidence or listen TO your speech, that wa;
no reason for your attack on US"
The Two senators had a good deal more
talk OF -he same character, during which
both showed considerable temper.
