How nice it is to say President
Cleveland.
Mr.. J, j. Adams is quite sick
with pneumonia.
We are glad to learn that Mrs
D. ?. McLain's condition has i'm
proved during the last few days.
1t begins to look like the farm
ers are not going to plant their
fall oats unless they plant them in
the dust.
Mr. H. A. Mcdonald, of Allan
ta, was in this section few days
ago whiting his sister, Mrs. d. P.
McLain.
We hope the time is not far dis
t0nt when We will hear the sweet
tones Of the organ sounding from
our Methodist church.
We learn that our friend, Mr..
L. g. Durham, is going to leave
l'our village. We hope, however,
he will reconsider the matter and
decide to stay amongst us.

Owing to i'll health, we were un-
able to attend the festival at the
Methodist church. However, we
wer not forgotten-Mrs. L. G..
Wiseman remembered us and sent
us fine cake, for which she has
our unbounded thanks.
The festival here on Tuesday
night Of last week, we learn, was
a success. TIE entire proceeds
amounted to $7415. The cake
voted to the most beautiful young
lady brought $3.50 and was won
by Miss Willie Hodnett, Of Cal
houn county. Miss FL. won the
cake, we are informed, by a ma
jority of 126 over all Opponents

Gould's dispatch to president
elect Cleveland was an insult to
him and an afront to every hon
est voter in the land, and meant
one of two things-frst, that the
fraud arranged to be perpetrated
had failed; or, second, that his APP
parent surrender was to cover the
execution Of the fraud that he and
the republican managers had
planned on the day following the
election. In this connection we
desire to express our confidence
in the Southern Telegraph
Company and hope the day is not
far off when it will have offices es-
tablished in every town where the
Western Union now does bus
iness.

OUR NEXT PRESIDENT.

We lift our hat and rend the air
with three times three loud cheers
for Hon. Grover Cleveland, presi-
dent elect Of these United States.
For twenty long years we have
had Republican rule and corrup-
ton in the land. The Democrats
north and south, as well as a few
honest Republicans, were electri-
fed with JOY, long pent up when
the news flashed over the country
last eGnesday that their ticket
was elected. Old men became
boys once more and the young
we've wild with success. The faith
.er and mothercongratulated their
children on the happy event. The
children in turn walked the Sleep
ing memories of long gone days.
The whole country is, and has been
all the week baaming, running
over, with intense delight. Ever
now and then stern old patrician
will exultingly exclaim thank, Godl
and go on walking nimbly az if he
were but a man in his prime. So
we have it, country more or less
every where. sending up thanks
giving to the Ruler of Nations.
We in the South are especially
rejoiced over this event.
By this expression of the will of
the people we are assured that we
are done with sectionalism. No
more is the "bloody-shirt' issue
to be waived. We are not to be
forever and one day insulted by
designing politicians whose God is
their ambition, and whose ambi-
ton is there belly. No, this one
thing is to be numbered with the
Ipast. We have no further use
for it. Let it be buried, where il
was. practically buried by tho
South twenty years ago.
One other thing it does whicl
will tend materially to strengthen
our resources as a people and thai
is, the negro question: is practi
cally settled. There never hb.
been, in our opinion, any r6a5ol
why the negro should not resar(
the Southern Democrat his friend
Now he is brought face to face
with him politically, and the
Southern man, he will fnl, vii
mot use his power to obstruct o.
impede the ends of justice. S,
that instead of being relegated t,
slavery, as the Republican politi
clan told him, lie viii find that al
his rights under the law are cheer
fully guaranteed to him and tha
his friends are here in the soutl
where he lives. This therefore
will give confidence between
the races and ike a magic wan,
will hush to silence all the fear
and misglyings of this great com
munity. Confidence will give u
prosperity and plenty, and that i
what we want. Let us then 90 t.
work to recuperate our falterin.
energies, to build up our shattere,
homes; to develop the resource.
OF our great Southland, and witt
gratitude to Almighty God 70
deliverance shout the peans o
victory for this Moses whom H,
hath given us.

STORY OF A DIAMOND RING.
Los, Eisht Years Ago and Fonnd on Mis-.
Mary kruz's Finger.

Uuiil Yesterday Miss Mary Krug, who
lives on NOrth-Castle street. wore very
handsome diamond ring. Although she
has he'd il In her possession for a number
81 years, Il was the cause ~ getting her in
yOy unpleasant position. In fact. il
caused her Grrest. One day about eight
years 1go the late Mrs. r. 4. Hooper, wife
OF Captain Hooper. Of the Savannah
steamer, started ou. with lady friend 70 20
To Mount Vernon church. She wore her
diamond wedding ring, and when putting
on her glove found the ring hurt her
tir ger. So she took II OF and put it in her
pockot-book. Her lady friend also had on
= ring, and she, too. took of and asked
Mrs. Hooper TO put II away with the di5-
mond one. After church the two ladies
came down Charles street together, and
when about to get on n Fayetto-strect car
Mrs. Il0Oper's friend asked foI her ring.
and Mrs. Hooper TOOK out her pocket
book and gave back the ring. leaving
her own diamond one in the book. The
car came down the street Just then,
and Mrs. Hooper hastily put. or thought
she put, Jher pocket-boOk back into her
dress pocket, and beth ladies' got on
the ear and rode to their home in East Bal
timorc. AfteT their arrival Mrs. Hooper
found hat she had lost her pocket-b0ok
and ring. Captain Hooper Advertised for
II many times. offering $500 reward for its
return. The case was given TO William
CrOne, who was then cIiet Of dctectiye', TO
work up. but no clue was ever found.
A few days ago Smith, West & Lyons
received tip that a yOung girl who
was doing taiioring-work was wearing a
very handsome and valuable ring, and last
Sunday Hr. Lyons followed the young
lady-who happened TO be Miss Mary
Kug-tO church. and noticed on her
finger the ring. He called on her on Mon
day and asked to see The ring. She showed
Il to bin, aud there on the inside was en-
Craved al. A. Hooper" This satisfied
sir Lyons. and he caused her arrest. Mis-.
KrUg was taken to tho Middle Station-house
yesterday. and there told the following
story: She said about five years ago a Girl
s0ld her the ring for $3.50. The glrl said
sac had found it in the gutter at the ear
stables. Miss Krug said she had always
worn the ring, but never noticed the name
inside.
Captain Hooper was delighted to recover
the ring after So long a time. as. besides
being the wcdGing-riug, his wife had died
since, and il was especially valuable to hin.
Squire Cashmyer dismissed the charge OF
larceny against Miss Krug, and hereafter
she will be shy Of buying dimond rings for

GONE TO TIE BOTTOM.
Loss of Vessels with Hichmond iShipm .nts
on Board.

The schooner an account Of the loss OF
which, of Sea Island City, was published
in Yesterdays Dispatch, was the Deborah
II. Diverty mot "Dcbomh Diyerdy" ~,
which sailed from Richmond on the 17th
OF last June. Her cargo consisted OF 30k
tons Of camel coal, shipped by Gervas
Siorrs, Of this city, and her destination
was Albany, n y. She had made nu-
merous trips to and from this port, and
Captain Williams was well known and
highly esteemed by shippers here aud
others with whom he had business or SO.
cial relations. The true story OF the loss
Of the Diyerty will probably never be told,
as nothing has ever been heard from those
on board, and il is a foregonc conclusion
that all, including Captain Williams. his
wife, and two sons. and also the wife OF
one Of the sons, went down with the ILL
fated vessel.
The schooner d. S. ingraham, Captain
HolbroOk, which sailed from here some
time after the Diyerty for Boston, was also
wrecked, probably in the same storm in
which the Diyerty went TO the bottom.
The Ingraham had a cargo Of 500 tons OF
soft coal, shipped by the Chesapeake and
Ohio Railway Company. Her crew were

In the United States Circuit Court yes
terday-Judge Robert W. Hughes pTesid-
ing-a very important aud able decision
WIS rendered In the suit OF Fink. Brother
& Co., OF Baltimore, against Paterson,
Madison & Co., OF Petersburg.
The cause was heard on an order TO show
cause Why the Injunction should not be
continued and a receiver appointed. The
case was fully argued on Saturday by
Messrs. Coke & Plckrcil fo- the creditors.
and by MesSTs. Friend Il Davis. OF Peters
burg. for Patterson, Madison & Co. The
defence was that the Court had no jufisdic-
ton Of the ease.
The opinion Of the Court sustaining It's
jurisdiction aud It's rights to administer the
assets through its receivers at the suit OF q
creditor at lsrge is an exhaustive presenta-
tiCn Of the grounds OF its Jurisdiction based
both on principle and authority; II pro-
ceeds not only upon the principle that the
assets OF the insOlvent partnership are
trust-fund 10 be managed for the benefit OF
partnership creditors, hut also That IN the
proposition Of compromise submitted by
Patterson, Madison & Co., TO their credi-
tors, there was a dedication OK these assets
without preferences TO all the creditors for
tic purposes Of said settlement, and that the
appropriation OF part OF those assets. a.
shown by the books in paying certain
creditors in fun, was In contIaventiOn OF
that proposition Of compromise, ana fur
nished ground for the Intervention OF a
court of equity.
The opinion proceeded 10 discuss the
general character OF "crcditorS' bills" and
TO show that though originally they were
TesOrted TO in settlement OF decedents'
estates they had been extended 10 cases OK
this character AID to cases OF insoyent cor
pOrations where the rights OF creditors
were imperilled. and in this connection
distinguished between suits where credi-
tors at large are allowed to sue and those
cases where judgment must first be OBJ
tanned.
The similarity of the proposed settlement
to what are known AZ composition deeds
with releases was referred to. aud the law
Of such cases by parity OF reasoning ap-
Piled to the case at bar. Tue learned judge
referred 10 and approved the remark OF
Lord COttenham in Fourth Mylne X Craig,
141. that " il is the duty OF every court OF
equity to adapt lis practice and course OF
proceedings as far as possible 10 the exist
ing state OF society. and to apply its iuris-
dictiOn TO all new eases which, from the
progress daily making in the affairs OF men,
must certainly arise"
After the decision was rendered settle
ment Of the matte: in controversy was
made, and the suit was dismissed.
