The German Press on the La,ker Affair,

BERLIN, February 29.-The National
Gazette hopes that the Secessionists will
not propose in the Reichstag a resolution
thanking the United States House of
Representatives for lis resolution of
coincidence on the death of Herr Lasker,
unless they previously ascertain whether
it can be adopted. The Germania, the
organ of the Clerical party, doubts
whether such superAuous and provoca-
tive resolution would find majority.
The Reichstag is not competent to reply
to resolution of coincidence Of which
they have received no official cognizance.
The Politische Nachrichter attributes half
the blame to Minister Sargent. Itasserts
that he is lacking in political tact. and
so failed to keep the authorities at Wash.
ipgton informed of the true state Of af.
fairs in Germany. The Cologne Gazette
says: "Prince Bismarck might perhaps
have forwarded the resolution to the
Reichstag if Minister Sargent had not
from easily explained reasons rendered
himself obnoxious. We hope this un
fortunate incident will not disturb the
udIuOuS Va LuC wv botiohS3 "oSSS ~
terests have been closely bound together
for many years" The Liberal C0rre.pon-
dencc doubts the e1pediency of the pro-
posed introduction of resolution Of
thanks in the Reichstag by the Secession,
lists, and asserts that its adoption would
be doubtful.
The Kreuz Zeitung, in discussing the
latter incident, says: The Liberals, in
supporting United States Minister Sar-'
gent, do not consider that Mr.. Sargent
has deeply offended Prince Bismarck.
The North German Gazette says: The
remembrance that the National Liberals
expressed approval when the American
minister, ]. G. Bancroft Davis, refused
the congratulations of the Frankfort
Democratic associations on the occasion
of the American Centenary, does not
oblige the United States to approve of
Prince B:smarck's illiberality. But we
perceive the Nemesis of history.

Tile Cheraw Outrage.

CHERAW, February 29.-Our town
marshal, w. II. b. Richards, who was
80 ruthlessly shot down on the streets Of
Cheraw, on the 23d instant, by W. B.
Cash, after lingering in great agony for
nearly a week, died from his wounds
this morning at half.past 8 o'clock.
Richards was a member of Company
G, Thirtieth Massachusetts Veteran Vol
unteers, and was promoted to first lieu
tenancy for gallantry. He was also a
member of Chatham Lodge, American
Legion of Honor, of this place. His
tragic end is a matter for deep regret,
not only by this community, in whose
service he was murdered, but by the
whole State, on whose fair name this
crime will be blot in the eyes of her
sister States.
Mr.. Coward, the unoffending bystan-
der who was wounded by one Of the bull
lets intended by Cash for the town mar
shal, lies in very precarious condition,
his lower limbs being paralyzed, and
in all probability this shocking tragedy
will prove to be q double murder.
The jury of inquest Was impanelled
to-day at half.past l o'clock and ad.
iourned for the hearing of evidence until
half.past this evening. In the interim
Drs. Kollock, James, Wilson and Wad-
dill proceeded to perform the autopsy.
The autopsy revealed the fact that the
bali had entered the left side, penetrating
the fourth dorsal vertebra. Spicule of
the bone were also driven into the spinal
marrow. The examination of four wit.
uesses, whose evidence differed in no
material points, was then made. Upon
the conclusion of the evidence the jury
rendered the following verdict: "That
w. H. II. Richards came to his death
from pistol shot in the hands Of w. p.
Cash on the 23d of February"
Mr.. Richards leaves q wife and three
small children. He came to Cheraw
with the first garrison sent to this town
in 1865, where he married and has since
resided.
James Coward, the other victim of
Cash's reckless disregard of life and of
law, is a respectable young man, native
of Marlboro County and a brother of
Mr.. Coward of the firm of Coward d
Mcintosh, merchants of this place.
The funeral services, under the auspices
of the Legion of Honor, OF which order
Mr.. Richards was member, were held
at the Baptist Church this afternoon, the
pastor, the Rev. Mr.. Hickson, officiating:
The attendance was large, all places OF
business being closed.

The South Carolina Republicans.

COLUMBIA, March IL had a long
talk this afternoon with one of the best
informed and most trustworthy colored
men in the State. He made some inter.
esting disclosures with regard to the
plans of the South Carolina Republicans.
The meeting of the Executive Committee
which took place in Columbia last Tues
day night was, he tells me, stormy from
the beginning to the close. He made an
effort to test Arthur's strength by intro
ducing resolution commencing his ad-
ministration and recommending the
South Carolina Republicans to support
him for re election. His resolution met
with unexpected and violent opposition
from two influential colored members of
the committee who are strong advocates
of Logan's candidacy for the Presidency.
He Withdrew the resolution before 7ote
was taken. He was surprised, he de-
clares, to find that any Republican would
speak out against Arthur and in favor Of
his rival, the ambitious and unprincipled
Logan, who is no friend of the colored
race. After canvassing the committee he
found that about two thirds of the mem
bers prefer Arthur to any other man for
President and the others favor Logan.
One colored member of the committee,
however, clings to Grant and swears he
will support neither Logan nor Arthur.
The Republicans, my informant AYERS,
are determined to make stubborn fight
in South Carolina this year. Not that
they dream of defeating the State ticket
which the Democrats will place in the
field, but they will strive to secure the
electoral vote of South Carolina for the
Republicans. A State ticket may or
may not be nominated when the State
Convention meets in April. The pre-
vailing opinion among Republicans is
that ticket should bc placed in the field
and vigorous canvass prosecuted. In
the event of such a course being chosen
a demand for pecuniary aid will be made
upon the Republican party Of the North
and liberal share of the campaign
funds will be asked for. "Politics are so
uncertain" he said, "that nobody caa
foresee what contingency may rise before
the close of the present year. Who can
tell but what the electoral vote of South
Carolina may decide the fate of the two
great parties in November next. At any
rate, our party here will hang together Il
hope they may hang togetherl, and take
the chances. There may be q split IN
the Democratic ranks, when we can step
in and demand terms" He feels conf
dent that Arthur will receive the nomi-
nation for President, and will secure
solid delegation from South Carolina.
The statements of many other Rcpubi-
cans with whom l have conversed are
very much of the same tenor. l am dis.
posed TO think that Arthur will get full
delegation from South Carolina, notwith-
standing the earnese efforts Of Logan to
capture the colored vote here Dispatch

The Crime of Cash.

1t is now nearly two weeks, says the
Charleston Ne,cS and Courier, since two
unoffending citizens of Cheraw, one OF
them the peace officer of the town, were
shot down in the street, without q word
of warning, by Mr.. W. B. Cash. One OF
the victims is dead the other is likely
to die. The circumstances of this MUIR
der take it out of the category OF ordl-
nary crimes. Cash is known far and wide
as a man of violence, who believes in
and boasts of his own right to avenge
every wrong, or fancied wrong, with his
pistol, and who has made no concealment
of his aversion and utter contempt for
people who seek redress for grievances
in any other way. This man, in the
most public manner, has killed one citi-
zen of the State because, in the perform
ance of his oficia! duty, he had arrested
his slayer several days before, and has
desperately wounded another, who had
given him no provocation whatever, and
who, it appears, was-shot by mistake
Pursuit of the murderer was delayed,
and when the effort was made to appre-
hend him, be could not be found. Moth
ing has been heard of him for several
days, and in all likelihood he has fled
beyond the limits Of the State. Is he to
be allowed thus to escape the RESPONSE
bility for his bloody work?
The newspapers in all parts of the
Union have chronicled the circumstances
of this atrocious crime and are waiting.
to hear what is to be its sequel. It is
we'll known that Cash, while making
high pretensions as 20. South Carolina
gentleman" was desperate character,
and was, in fact, terror to the Delgh-
borhood in which he dwelt. 1t was no
surprise to those who knew the man that
the effort of the local authorities OF the
county to capture him!resu!:ed inlfailure.
He had slain the only peace cthcer-an
old soldier of the Federal army, by the
way-who had had the temerity to arrest
him, and there was no reason to doubt
that he had bullets still in reserve for
other officers Of the law who mig,-t, be
equally rash.
Cash is at large. Is it right,is it just,
that this should be, while any effort on
the part of the State authorities to bring
him to account for his crime remains un'
tried?

A Railroad Victory.

NASHVILLE, February 29.-The Fed
eral Court this afternoon granted the
application of the railroad companies of
the State for an injunction to restrain
the State Railroad Commission from in
terfering with their business under the
Act of the Legislature which vests the
Commission with the supervision Of rail
road operations in Tennessee. Elaborate
written opinions were delivered by Cir
cult Judge Baxter and District Judge
Hamlond, District Judge Key concurring
1t was held that the Act of the Legisla,
ture creating the Railroad Commission
conflicts with the 11th article Of the
State Constitution and with the 14th
amendment to the Constitution of the
United States, and is therefore null and
void.

AFIzzLE.-The prosecu ton of Mr..
Hanson Wilson terminated quite
suddenly last Saturday with COL
lapse Of the testimony of the convict
witnesses. The States attorney did
the best perhaps when he abandoned
the case by suggesting his willingness
to hear verdict of "not guilty"
For some time to come, however, it
will be questioned whether any Gre
dence whatever should attach to the
stories of criminals. In ordinary
cases, where malice tinges the testi-
mony of volunteer witnesses, the grand
jury is expected to take it with full
allowance for the salt that manifestly
turks in the meat. More especially
should this caution obtain in extra
