The Columbia Canal.

The recent heavy rains, in addition to
the damage by those of the week before,
inflicted q loss of two or three weeks
work on the canal. A large area Of
earth work where the outside wall would
have been connected and built beyond
danger by the 1st of July was washed
away and the railroad tracks for the
dump cars have been badly torn up. A
wire rope which was stretched across the
river to hold up derrick was cut in two
by huge log which the rushing waters
hurled against it and the derrick fell.
The convicts were yesterday repairing
the damage done by the freshet, where
the receding waters would permit them
to work. In three weeks the outside of
rip.rap wall and its earth backing will be
completed to Elmwood avenue.
a small section of hard granite only
remains to be blasted from the canal,
about the foot of Richland street, when
earth and soft stone only will be to con-
tend with up to Elmwood avenue.
The large blocks of cut granite in the
old canal, where the locks we're located,
will be taken away at aD early day and
used in the construction of the large
waste weir.
The Superintendent is laying tracks
and building dump cars 10 remove the
hill near Elmwood avenue, which will

SurrendcriDg q Lease.

COLUMBIA, July 5.-A rumor reached
here to-day that the Columbia and
Greenville Railroad intended to relin-
ouish its lease of the Spartanburg, Union
and Columbia Railroad. The represep-
tatiye of the Sunday Ne,cs called on
President A. G. Haskell, of the Green
Vile Road, for information. He said !:
"The Columbia and Greenyille Railroad
has eiven notice to the lessons of the
Spartanburg, Union and Columbia Rail-
road that it will surrender the road with.
in sixty days from July l."
"What is the cause of this action?'
"The reason is that the most valuable
rights and privileges have been taken
from the Spartanburg, Union and Co
lumbia Railroad Company by legislative
enactmcnts and the rulings of the Rail
road Commissioners, and the property is
thus deprived of the value which it had
at the time the lease was effected"
President Haskell declined to say
more than this From another source it
is learned that the lease has been very
unpro6table to the Columbia and Green
vile Road. 1t was effected April l, 1881
and was for ninety-nine years at fifty
thousand dollars year. The lease was
terminated after sixty days notice under
the conditions of the contract. The
lessons, the Spartanburg, Union and Co,
lumbia Railroad Company, will doubtless
take charge of the road within sixty
DAYS. The line may pay small profit
on its original cost, but cannot yield
enough to cover rental of fifty Thousand

A Barbarons System.

ATLANTA, Ga, June 3o-An interest
ing case has been decided by Ordinary
Calhoun of Fulton County. 1t was
brought about by the habcas corpus case
of William Panniop, prisoner who hid
been found guilty Of illegal voting. He
was sentenced to a fine, or inn prisonment
in default of payment. Under the Act
of the Legislature, such prisoners have
been hired out to private parties who
would pay the fine. Ordinary Calhoun
holds this law to be unconstitutional.
When the fine is paid the prisoner is free.
and is simply debtor to the man who
paid for him. To compel the prisoner to
work under such circumstances is nothing
more or less thar to re-establish imprison.
ment for debt. AS large number of
misdemeanor prisoners throughout the
State are serving terms in this way the
decision is of much Importance.

Eighth Circuit Solicitor.

GREENv1LLE, July 7.-Tbe Nominat-
ing Convention of the Eighth Judicial
Circuit met in tbs Courthouse here to.
night, at 9 p. m. Col. R. A. Thomp.
son, Of Walhalla, presided, and G. w.
Taylor, Esq, of Pickens, was elected
secretary. Col. Simpson, of Anderson,
placed in nomination for Solicitor of the
Eighth Circuit the incumbent, Col.
James L.,rOr, of Greenville. The
speaker made eloquent illusions to Col
Orr's legal ability and fitness for the
Office, referring to the somewhat remar.
kable circumstance that the appoint.
ment of Col. Orr to the solicitorship by
Governor Hagood had met with the
unanimous approval and endorsement OF
this district. The nomination was sec.
onded by Mr.. John S. Werner, of Oco.
nee, who warmly recounted the record ol
Col. Orr in the remarkable contest Of
'76, be having been the first to enter the
Mackey House, which was the last griK
of Republican corruption upon the affairs
of South Carolina. Col. James A. Hoy
added remarks in praise Of Col. Orr
whom he had known as a noble boy anG
as a noble man. The nomination wa:
carried unanimously by acclamation
after which the Convention adjourned.

What Will Burst a Gun.

In bravado young man placed the
muzzle of his fowling piece under the
water, and fired the charge. The result
was the bursting of the barrel near the
breech and the mutilation of his hand.
Another placed and held the muzzle of
his piece square against piece of plate
window glass, and fired the charge
powder and a bullet. The glass was
shattered, so was the gun barrel. Anoth-
er instance was that of an experimenter
who had heard that candle could be
fred from the muzzle of a gun through
an inch plank. He drove candle into
the muzzle of the gun, fired, and the
explosion split the barrel almost its en-
tire length, and did not even drive the
candle from the muzzle. Still another
burst of q gun barrel was caused by the
use of wet grass for wad we'll rammed
down over a charge of shot. But per-
hans one of the most singular exhibitions
in this line was Colts navy revolver,
which some years ago was sent to the
factory in Hartford Conn. This was
before the adoption of these pistols to
the metallic cartridges and it is probable
that in loading with open powder and
ball only small amount of powder got
into the chamber and the bullet was not
propelled with sufficient force to drive it
from the muzzle: at least the bullet did
not 90 out but lodged. AS the shooter
did not know whether the bullet escaped
or not he kept on firing till the barrel
burst or bulged, and when it was sawed
in two lougitudinally there were found
fourteen bullets wedged one into the
other, and so much upset" by the ham.

What Tilden Wishes.

CHICAGO, July 4.-"Mr. Tildeu has
not written any letter to be presented in
the contingency of his nomination here"
said c. F. Peck, of New York, this
evening, "but think. I know how the
report originated that he had done so.
Just one week ago Messrs. Manning and
Magone called on him and received an
authorization to speak for him concern.
ing Mr.. Cleveland's candidacy. ! am
not at liberty to say whether the author
ity was given in writing, but it is in such
form as to satisfy any one whom they
desire to convince. Mr.. Tilden felt that
it would be very indelicate in him to
volunteer any advice to the Convention
as to what it should do, but he knew that
great many delegates would probably
desire to know what his judgment as 10
candidates was. Messrs. Manning aud
Magone, therefore, were authorized 10
say to all delegates who came to consult
them as to Mr.. Tilden's views, that he
believed Governor Cleveland was the
man for the emergency. This informa-
ton is to be given only when asked for
by delegates"
Senator Herman said to-day: "Tilden
does not want the compliment Of a NOM
ination. He thinks it would be against
the interests of the party to do anything
of the sort. On Monday next we shall
probably try to get all those delegates
who are friendly to Tilden together and
they will then be assured, in manner
that they cannot doubt, of Mr.. Tilden's
wishes in this respect. If the party sees
fit by appropriate resolution to recognize
Tilden's eminent services it would be q
proper and graceful thing to do. Moth.
ing more than that would be acceptable
to Mr.. Tilden."
"Is Cleveland Mr.. Tilden's choice for
the Presidency ?"
"You can say at least" answered the
Senator, "tbat all Mr. Tilden's friends
here are for Cleveland including S. j.
Tilden, Jr. From that fact you can
draw your own differences"
Mr.. Smith M. Weed and Edward
Cooper made practically similar state
ments. All his intimate friends say that
a complimentary nomination is not at all
desired by Mr.. Tilden and that the idea
is strongly condemned by him.-Spscia1

The Reception of Gen. Butler.

The reception of General Butler in
Chicago on Saturday night, was of a
highly dramatic character. Upon the
arrival of the train at the depot, the
general was received by the committee,
and was hurriedly taken to the Palmer
House. The demonstration, however,
did not take place until nearly ten o'clock,
when the labor societies, representing
bricklayers, horseshoers, seamen and the
various typographical unions selected
Market street as rendezvous, and from
there proceeded to the Palmer House by
a circuilous route, along which were
large, waiting crowds. The marching
column numbered about three thousand,
and carried variety of transparencies,
all of which bore the face of Butler,
supplemented with such sentiments as
Labor needs q statesman" "If am
not for you, am against yo,-Butler to
the factory czars of Lowell" "The
workingmen welcome Butler" Toward
the rear of the column was borne aloft
mammoth spoon, on which was in
scribed "Butler will feed you ALL" The
extreme rear of the line Was made up OF
broom brigade. displaying the device,
"Butlcr will sweep the country"

General Longstreet.

An Atlanta correspondent of the Sa-
vanaah Times reports Gen. Longstreet as
saying in an interview in response to the
inquiry what he thought of the Demo
cratic outlook: ~ believe Bayard is
the best man, but l guess the Democrats
will have to nominate man who has
record, on the other side in the late war
NV opinion is that no Democrat can be
elected this year and never can be until s
the party gets leader. As it is now
their leaders don't lead: The party is
without policy and without leader,
and it is impossible for it to accomplish
anything under that state of affairs. AS
to the report that he was about to resign
the United States marshalship, Gen
Longstreet said: "There is no truth in
such report. I would be glad enough
to retire and spend the closing years OF
my life among the quiet pleasures of my
home, but am not able to quit work. i
find myself OF the down grade of life
dependent on my salary to educate my
children. That is why [ will continue
to- ohofd the marshalship."

Sensation in Hart County, Ga.

A few months ago man calling him
self Robert Hager came to Hart County
and worked for several farmers in the
County, among them Mr.. Charles Chris
tian. He was very decent looking fel-
low and was industrious and attentive to
his work. While at work with Mr..
Christian he became acquainted with
Mrs. M. T. Christian, q very respectable
widow lady, who lives mile and Il half
from Hartwell. He wooed and won Mrs.
Christian after brief courtship, and on
the 2Sth of April, 1884, they were united
in marriage by II. J. Goss, Esq. AL!
went we'll up to a few weeks ago, and
Mrs. Hager was happy in the thought
that she had the strong arm Of a husband
to lean upon adown lies rugged path
way. On the 18th of June Mr.. Jas. F.
White received a letter from the Chief
of Police of Greenville, S. c., in answer
to inquiries regarding Hager, stating
that Hager had lived 10 or u years in
Greenville, and that be bad wife and
four children there. That he was a
worthless fellow, and that it had been
ascertained that he had another wife in
North Carolina, where he went by the
name of Robert Little. Hager got wind
of this letter, and on the 23d of June
last he hitched up the horse and buggy
belonging to wife No. 8, pretending that
he was going to Mr.. J. L. Browns upon
some business. But instead of going 10
Mr.. Browns he left for parts unknown,
and Mrs. Hager has never been able to
learn of his whereabouts. Mrs. Hager
is in deep distress both on account of the
perfdy of the polygamous wretch and
the loss of her horse and buggy, and has
offered reward of $50 for the apprehen.
sion of Hager or for the safe return of
the horse and buggy. Robert Hager or
Little is genteel looking, about six feet
high, weighs about 160 pounds, forid
com plexion, dark auburn hair; one joint
off middle finger of left hand, and nails
off the great toes of each foot, and sandy
mustache. He is q baker and candy
maker by trade.
The horse is bay, about six years old,
in very good condition, has straight neck
and heavy tail. Coal box buggy, old,
but has new wheels, running gear dark
red, black body.
We hope our exchanges will put their
readers on the look out for this scoundrel,
who has thus destroyed the peace and
happiness of most worthy lady.-Hart-
