nicated. Almost a reign of terror exists

The famous DR.. Burchard, to whose al
lucrative propensity some Republicans are
wont to ascribe the election of Cleveland,
delivered lecture few nights ago in the
United Presbyterian church, New York.
He complained of pains in the head, heart
and back before he began. He told the re-
porters that if they came to hear mention
of "any prominent men who have been
lately before the public eye," they would
be disappointed. DR.. Burehard said that
the daily papers had mistaken him for "a
religious slouch, an ecclesiastical dude, an
old fool, and mule with ears like those of
the mule Balaam rode" He had been call
ed everything but a thiefand loafer. Only
last week he had been taken for plumber.
He had also been mistaken for the head
waiter of hotel in Venice. In referring to
pride and riches, the speaker made use of the
words "person, purse and palace and then
added: ''you see am given to ALTERATION"
Laughter DR.. Burchard said he had
been called bigot. He denied that he
was bigot, who was one who stood on
segment of truth and never looked around
the circle.

THURSDAY MORNING, APRIL 2, 1885.
FEDERAL OFFICES.

Senator Butler, in conversation with a
Washington correspondent, says that there
are good many persons in South Carolina
who believe that the heads of departments
have placed the patronage of certain States
in the hands of the Congressional delega-
tions. This is wrong impression, and ne
was sorry such an idea was entertained for
one moment. The offices are open to COM
petition, and doubtless the one making the
greatest impression will secure the appoint
ment, as those who have the least political
influence behind them seem to have been
the most successful so far in receiving ap-
pointment.

MINISTERIAL CALL.

Rev. L. R. Mccormick, recently in charge OF
the Presbyterian churches of Gastonia and New
Hope, in Mecklenburg Presbytery, N. G., has ac-
cepted a unanimous call to Zion church in Beth
ell Presbytery. This church is located near Low
rysville, in Chester county, epastorate ofwhich
was made vacant by the recent resignation OF
Rev. w. II. Matthews. Rev. Mr.. Mccormick is
we'll known by our people, being native of
Chester county, and formerly member of the
Presbytery to which he returns \ correspond
ent of the North Carolina Presbyte'i ian, speaking
of Mr.. McCormick's acceptance Of the call to
zion church, says:
MIR. Mccormick, in leaving Meek .enburg Pres
bytery and the very desirable field ne is now oc-
cupying, will act out the impulses Of duty. We
have reason to know that under his administra-
tions both charges have increased largely in lib
erality. During his short pastorate there have
been thirty-four accessions to New Hope ana
twentv-four to Gastonia. We are truly sorry
that our Synod will lose Mr.. Mccormick, but
Castonia has already made most excellent
choice in inviting Rev. w. l.. Mcll'Haine to sup
ply them for the remainder of the year.

CARD FROM THE PROBATE JUDGE.

AS that part of the Grand Jury's report
bate office, might mislead those unac-
uuainted with the character of the partic-
ular book mentioned, I feel it but due to
myself to state that the same is the minute
book of the office and is intended simply
for the convenience of the Probate Judge.
So unnecessary was it regarded by my
predecessors that none has been kept in
the Office for years until I assumed charge
thereof. ]. BEATTY WILLIAMS.

THE COURT.

No Judge on the Circuit bench of the State
makes a more favorable impression than Judge
Wallace. Courteous and atfable to all brought
in contact with him, he yet presides with ease
and dignity we'll becoming his exalted position
while his attainments as a jurist are well at
ested by the promptness with which his rulings
are announced from the bench.
Mr.. Solicitor Mcdonald is now on the circuit
for the first time since he received his commits
sion, and the ability with which he discharges
his duties fully meets the expectations of the
public. A young man, he has already shown
that he is fully competent to contest with older
practitioners, and what is no less gratifying to
the advocates of law and order, he evinces a
determination to discharge his official duties
fearessy, and without favor or affection.

CENTRAL AMERICA.

The war in Central America seems to be
an actual fact. The Republics of San Sal
vador, Costa Rica and Guatemala have en-
tered into formal treaty, offensive, and de-
fensive, for forming union and carrying
on war. The forces of Honduras and those
of San Salvador have already come into COL
lision, and several skirmshes have occur
red. The armies of Guatemala and Hondu-
ras are acting in harmony and are now
confronting the forces of San Salvador. Ac-
tive measures are being taken by San Sal
vador, Nicaragua and Costa Rica to protect
themselvesagainst the revolutionary scheme
of President Barrois. On the 25th ultimo,
the alliance, defensive and offensive was
formally entered into by these three States,
and arrangements were perfected for putting
an effective force into the field. San Saliva
dor, whose territory is most threatened,
takes the leading place in this alliance. She
will put her whole army into the field.
Nicaragua will provide 1000 men, and
Costa Rica sends 1000. Costa Rica at the
same time contributed $1,000 toward the
expenses of the war. President Zaldivar,
of San Salvador, will assume the chief COM
mand of the allied forces, President Carde-
vas, of Nicaragua, will be second in COM
mand, and Gen. Soto, of Costa Rica, will
probably take the third place.
Gen. Justo Runno Barrois, the leader OF
the revolutionary scheme, was born July
10, 1885, in San Loreazo, Department of San
Marcos, Guatemala. His father was Don
Jose Ignacio Barrois, and his mother Donna
Maria Josefa Anjon, and he is of pure Span
ish descent, having no Indian blood in him.
His father was farmer, and young Barrios
was brought up to hard work. From a
primary school he was sent to the Universe
ty of San Carlos, in Guatemala, where he
graduated in law. He returned from the
University in 1862, and began business as
notary public, and continued until 1867.
On the 3rd of August Of that year, having
secured the cooperation Of few of his
friends, he suddenly attacked the barracks
and fort of San Marcos, and the garrison
surrendered to him. This at once brought
him to the front and fixed the attention OF
his countrymen upon him. Gen. Cebna,
the President of Guatemala at that time,
made light of Barrios' coup, but from that
moment Barrios became a factor in the
politics of Guatemala.

THE PETERKIN COTTON SEED.

Attention is directed to the advertisement of
Mr.. Mason Bratton, of Guthriesville, in this
comfy, offering the above improved variety of
cotton seed for sale. This seed was originated by
Capt. J. A. Peterkin, of Orangeburg county, in
this State, who has been planting it as fixed
variety for the past three years, offering it for
sale for the first time last season. when it COM
manded s. per bushel. Its superior qualities are
highly attested by the numerous certificates OF
those who have cultivated it, and from the rec
ommendation it has, we think it deserves trial
by the nroprestiYe farmers of York.

AN UNFORTUNATE CASE.

The Charlotte Observer Of last Thursday con-
tains the following:
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Thomas Arledge son
of Mr. Med. Arledge, left this city under escort
for the insane asylum at Morganton, where ad-
mittance has been secured for him. The young
man had been going to school in Baltimore and
recently suffered an attack of sickness, by which
his brain was seriously affected, but the full
extent was not realized until one day last week
when he made an attack upon one of the walters
at his table, and the truth then became known that
the young man was insane. 1t was decided to
bring him home, and he arrived here from Baltl-
more night before last. His mind is badly at. at.
fected, and at times his insanity is of violent
nature. Accommodations having been secured
for him in the asylum at Morganton, it was de,
cided to send him there for treatment without
delay and it is t. be hoped that under his treat
ment there his mind will be fully restored: He
was naturally a bright young man, and his sad
atflction calls for the sympathy of our COM
munity.
The parents of the unfortunate young man are
well known in Yorkville, his mother being a
native of this town, and in their distress they
have the sympathy of our people with the hope
that the afflction of their son may at most be

to report that generally they are in a deplorable
conditions and on information, we especially
present that portion Of the Landsford road be-
tween John q. Steele's house and Anderson
Hall shop in the eastern part of the county, as
being in an extremely bad and dangerous cOnd-
ton. For the generally bad condition of the pub
lie roads, there would seem to be no Individual
responsibility, and it may be attributed, as much
as from any other cause to the defective system
of the road laws of the State. That these laws
should be repealed and different system of
working the public roads adopted, is the unani-
nous opinion Of the grand jury.
The grand jury has been deeply impressed
with the large amount of crime on the Sessions
is attributable to the illicit sale of ardent
spirits. In this connection we specially pre-
sent Joseph Thornburg, Sylvanus Thornburg,
William Thornburg and - Mccullough living
being engaged in this unlawful traffic; which
information is derived from the sworn testi-
mony of the following witnesses James Reese,
Elijah Sutton, Isaac Wright, Jetf. Williams,
Hamp. Witherspoon, Nathan Lindsay, L. ).
Thomasson, J. o. Walker; ]. It. Norman, J. NJ.
Davinney, DIR. ]. NJ. Lowry, 7. r. Parish, VIM.
Ferguson, w. P. Norman and A. q. Adams, all
of whom testify to having bought whisky from
the parties heretofore named We therefore pre-
sent the house at which whisky is illegally sold,
in open defiance of the law, as public nuisance
which should be abated.
It has also come to our knowledge that the
following persons, to-wit: Will Jackson. Rob
ert E. Jackson and John It. Clark are guilty. of
habitually carrying concealed weapons, in de-
tiance of the law, witnesses to prove which are
as follows: II. Fl. Allen, Gus Matthews, Joe
Matthews, w. #. Jackson and G. F. Foard, who
have testified to that effect before us.
With the above facts we close our report for
the present term, taking occasion to acknow-
ledge the courteses we have received at the
hands of the honorable Court and recognizing
the ability with which the presiding Judge and
the able Solicitor discharge their respective
duties.

murderers, convicted of numbering family
near Ashland, KY, about three years ago,
was hanged at Grayson. KY, last Friday.
He refused the attendance of ministers un-
til the morning of the execution. AT l

large crowd was waiting to witness the eX,
ecution and was escorted by guards armed
with double barreled shot guns and pistols.
Neal assembled the scaffold with great com

ed with being accessories before thefact to the
murder of Ellison Sanders, colored, on the night
of the 5th of last October, for which offence Co.
lumbus Crawford, col0red, is now in jail under
sentenceof death as the principal.
Major James +. Hart was associated with Mr.
Solicitor McDonald for the State; Messrs. Wilson
& Wilson for the defence.
Before proceeding with the drawing of jury,
announcement was made from Dr. F. Lindsay
county physician that Quay Tiger, one of the
defendants, was sick in Jail and not well enough
to be removed from the Jail to the courtroom
unless provided with bed after being brought
into Court.
The Court ruled that the case of Tigler should
be continued, and the other defendants be put
upon their trial.
Col. Wilson then made a motion for severance
as to the trial of Giles Good and Sam Good. This
was at first opposed by the Solicitor, but he at-
forwards gave his consent to the proposition and
the Court so ordered whereupon Giles Good a
man past the middle age of life, OF copper com
plexion, with waving black hair. and bearing
Indian features was placed in the dock.
The following jury was impaneed: w. l..

J. NJ. Laughridge, B. D. Springs w. I. Jones, R.
A. Matthews, w. f. Kimbrell, J. A. Adams, j.

For this murder Columbus Crawford was put
on trial at the last term Of the Court and convict
ed. Subsequently, in the month of December,
evidence was discovered justifying the arrest OF
Wallace Reid, Quay Tigler, Giles Good and Sam
Good, as accessories before the fact, and on
warrant being issued by Trial Justice McCaw,
these persons were brought before him for pre-
liminary examination. This examination re-
suited in the Trial Justice holding them all to1
trial. Wallace Reid, on his own motion, became
witness for the State, and on his testimony in the
present trial the prosecution mainly depended.
His testimony was to the effect that conspira'
cy, headed by Giles Good, existed among several
of the negroes of the neighborhood to kill Eli
