Grcenyllle's Railroad Bargain.

GREENvILLE, May 27.-The action of
the board of directors of the Greenville
and Laurens Railroad at Greenwood yes.
terday, in authorizing and empowering
President Mauldin to contract with Pres.
ident Raoul for the consolidation of the
Greenville and Lnurens road with the
Georgia Central, meets with hearty ap-
proval in Greenville. AS understood
here President Mauldin is clothed with
full authority to arrange all details and
TO close final contract. 1t will be re-
remembered that at the last meeting of
the directors President Raoul was present,
and had with him written proposition,
which was not submitted to the meeting,
owing to the fact that by vote the direc.
tors decided that they were not ready to
act upon proposition. The substance of
the proposition was stated verbally to the
meeting by DR.. Mauldin at The time.
President Raoul was not Mt the meeting
yesterday, and there was no proposition
from him. It was definitely stated, how.
ever, that President Raoul had not
changed his views upon the subject, and
that he is ready to treat with DR.. Maui.
din looking to the speedy completion of
the road. The action Of the meeting
yesterday may, therefore, be regarded as
virtually an acceptance of Mr.. Raoul's
offer, with possibly modification oi some
of the details which are of little impor.
tance. President Raoul's proposition,
which he WAS prepared to make at the
former meeting, gave the Georgia Central
two years In which to complete the road
and have it in operation, but he assured
DR.. Mauldin at the time that it was the
purpose of the Georgia Central in the
event of consolidation to commence
work at once, and to have the road in
operation from Laurens to Greenville in
the fall of the present year. There is
every prospect, therefore, that the new
road will be completed in time for the
fall trade. DR.. Mauldin has yet to m eet
President Raoul and complete the con-
tract, which viii! doubtless be done at an
early day.
The Georgia Central is to have ma
jority of the stock and controlling in.
terest in the road, and the consolidation
Is to be permanent. The counties of
Greenville and Laurens, the present
owners Of the road, will continue as
stockholders, owning the balance or
minority of tho stock. The bright pros.
pect for the early completion of the road
is welcome news to the people of the
section of country through which it runs.

Collector OF Internal Revenue.

Mr.. James Marvin, special agent Of
the Treasury Department, was busily
engaged with Collector BraytUn yesterday
in preparing for the transfer of the office
to Collector Bradley. An inventory of
the furniture, books, stationery, stamps,
etc., in the Office was made and Mr.. Mar.
vim receipted TO Mr. Brayton for the
same. He next took Collector Bradley's
receipt for the articles scheduled.
Major Bradley is now in possession of
the office, which will be administered by
Democrat for the first time in its histo.
ry. lie will retain Captain Little as
Chief Clerk under temporary arrange
ment. Mrs Louis LeConte will be the
second clerk, Mr. w. McB. Sloan third
and Mr.. Augustine Bacon, fourth. Mr..
Bacon is a native of Greenvlle, where
he held the position Of Town Clerk. lie
lost leg in the Confederate service.
He has been resident in Columbia for
several years. The other appointees are
we'll known in Columbia. The psy Of
the first mentioned clerk is 81 400 per
annum; of the second. 81 200; third,
$l,l00; fourth, $500.
The second clerkship was formerly
held by Mrs. Brayton, the widow OF
Collector Brayton's brother, who while
discharging his duty as a revenue officer
in Pickens County was shot and killed by
Mellow, the moonshiner. Mr.. +. NJ.
Brayton says that the clerkship held by
Mrs. Brayton was provided especially for
her to compensate in some degree for the
sacrifice of her husband in the discharge
of his duty as government officer, and
he endeavored to have her continued in
the position. Collector Bradley, who
was under the impression that Mrs Bray.
ton was the wife of Collector Brayton,
promised the position to Mrs. LeConte,
and he feels bound to fulfill that promise.
Dir. Brayton believes that when the rela
tions of Mrs. Brayton to the govern.
ment are investigated she will be
restored to the clerksbip.
Mr. Brayton expresses his belief that
if the consideration Of Mrs. Brayton's
claim is postponed until the United States
Senate eonvenes, the confirmation of
Collector Bradley will be influenced there.

End OF the Afghan Question.

LONDON, May 30.-The Daily News
announces this morning, on the highest
authority, that Russia's reply to Eng.
lands counter proposals was received in
London yesterday. The reply, it says,
involves the acceptance Of the proposals
and practically settles in a satisfactory
manner the whole question of the AT.
CHAN boundary. Both Meruchak and
Zu!fkar remain in possession of the
Ameer The main features Of the work
of delimitation have been finally fixed,
and the boundary commission will settle
the details. The negotiations have been
conducted in the most friendly spirit on
both sides.
The Daily Nems, in an editorial, says
that Mr.. Gladstone has crowned his illus
trious career by again rendering the
country signal service. We must not
forget, now that peace is secured, how
near we came 10 war such as this gen.
Grafton has not seen. Neither mere OBJ.

Edmunds's Visit to England.

WASHINGTON, May 29.-There is q
great deal of interest taken by public
men in Senator Edmnnd's invitation to
go to England to testify before the house
Of lords. It has been incorrectly stated
that he would appear before parliament.
He is not in the city. Senator Morril,
from Vermont, says that the house of
lords Is sitting now as court for the
examination Of various questions. It's
sittings correspond to those of our su.
prsme court. He says that it Is entirely
without precedent to invite any of our
public men or lawyers to appear before it
as witnesses to explain away any of the
topics considered by them. He has no
idea Of the subject to be explained by
Mr. Edmund. The Junior Vermont Sen.
ator Is very we'll known in England and
house Of lords. When the high Joint
became very we'll acquainted with tho
English, members, and he has Visited
England several times and has been very
generally received in London society.
He met Lord Coleridge when he was
here; His wide acquaintance with
English law and his position ss chairman
Of the judiciary committee In the Senate
would naturally make him the lawyer to
be selected If the English lords should
desire 70 consult any American authority
upon the subject of our lava. His wife
anG daughter will accompany him. It is
said by some that there Is certain bit of
diplomacy behind all this, and that ar.
Phelps Ii responsible for Mr.. Edmunts's
invitation. This theory, however, Is
accepted by very few.

The Cloud Burst.

LINCOLN, NEB., May "a special
to the State journal from Indianola
gives the following particulars of the
bursting of q waterspout Tuesday even
in: A party of seventeen Bohemians,
en- route to Dundly Creek, camped in
Richman canon, half mile of Republi-
can River, and nine miles east Of this
place. At dark heavy rain set in, and
about 10 o'clock waterspout burst a
short distance above, flooding the here.
tofore dry canon 20 depth of fifteen
feet. This came down the canon in
waves, each rising foot or two higher
than its predecessor. The party were
asleep in their wagons. The one nearest
the bed of the stream was occupied by
John Mack, his wife and son. the CEN
ter one by John Osmer, his wife and four
children and two other children +; the
third by Joseph Havelic, wife and three
children. When the flood struck the
wagons Havelic was the first to arouse.
He jumped up, grasped the wagon
tongue and attempted to pull the wagon
out of the water. The rushing waters
overpowered them, however, and eleven
were drowned.

A LITTLE lsI1cED.

On oil sides the discussion Ia fully as

who has just arrived from Washington
where he has spent the last ten days.
He tells me that the fight between j.
Legare Walker and Albert III. MoIry
has been waged with such exceeding
bitterness that II is generally conceded
that the appointment will not fall to the
lot Of either; bpt that "a clark horse"
will probably be the auccessfnl candidate.
Messrs. Walker and Mowry are not che

Every Republican Hust Go.

WAsnINGToE, May 27.-The Demo.
Gratis throughout this city were very much
gratified to day over the report given by
Senator Dan Voorhees, of m interview
that he had with the President. Senator
Voorhees, says that Mr. Cleveland told
him that he intended to remove every
Republican ofliceho.ler Of any promi.
nence at the very carries, possible mo.
ment. "The President" said the Sena-
tor, assured me that not one of them
would be left. The cnly delay now
would simply be that which was abso.
lutely necessary to secure good men to
put in their places" All this is confirm
atory of what has been previously print.
ed in these dispatches upon THE subject.
There is to be general change and the
bulk of these changes will come very
soon after the beginning of the fiscal
year.

AN AMUSING M1srAKE.

AS an instance Of the ridiculous mis-.
takes which newspaper correspondents
fall into, the manner in which
the Me,us and Curriers' Washington cor.
respondent announced the appointment
of Mr.. G. w. Webb, as Postmaster for
Anderson, affords an exaggerated in
stance. He said:
"South Carolinians here are surprised
at the appointment of Charles w. Webb,
Postmaster at Anderson Courthouse,
made to-day. The principal contestants
were Mrs. Cochran and Mr.. Todd, with
heavy odds in favor Of Todd, who was
backed by Representative Aiken. No
one appears to know who Webb is.
Some aay ne IL u teacher OF q colored
school In the vicinity Of Anderson.
Doubtless, however, good reason exista
for the appointment, and 1t will appear
in due time"
There Is no excuse for such stupid
blundering Us this, for a correspondent
should never publish q rumor calculated
to reflect upon person when that per
son is confessedly unknown. He should
have waited for the people who know
Mr. Webb to describe him, rather than
take the ridiculous surmises of thoss
who confessed they did not know. Mr.
Webb has not only not taught colored
school, but has never taught any kind ol
school. He has been engaged in bust
ness ever since he reached manhood, and
the description given by the correspon'
dent was very amusing by reason OF itt
utter lack of foundation. Fortunately
the publication could do no harm, as Nr
Webb is too we'll and too favorabls
known to be even annoyed by such &
blunder. He is one of our mos
thoroughly equipped aud popular bust
ness young men, and his appointment
gives to our city most efficient and &C
ceptable public officer. Mr.. Webb ha.
forwarded his bond and will assum,
charge of the postoffice In few days.

: Postmaster General Villas has re

= Postmaster General Villas has re-.
quested the resignation of J. L. Meade
who was recently appointed postmaster
at Haselhurst, Copiah County, Miss.
The resignation of Meade was called for
on the ground that the Interests of the
public service required it," but the ex-
planation of the action of the Postmas
ter General is that since the appointment
of Meade 1t has come to the knowledge
OF Villas that Meade presided over a
meeting which vas held at Haselhurst
just after the November elections in 1883,
at which resolutions were adopted iusti
flying the killing of Matthews, the Re.
publican postmaster of Haselhurst, by a
man named Wheeler on election day.
The appointment of Meade was recon-.
mended by Congressman Barksdale, who
represented the district in which Copiah
County is situated, and this recommen !.
dation was backed up with numerous
letters and a strong petition signed by
residents of the County. Upon these
tho appointment was made, but the Post.
master General says it was made without
the knowledge Of Meade's having partici.
pated in the proceedings of the meeting
referred to.

- A special from Waco, Texas, says +:
The fiercest storm ever known In this
vicinity ragged here on Wednesday night.
Rain fell in great sheets for several hours,
completely deluging the city. Daylight
revealed distressing picture, for in ad.
dition to the great damage to property q
number Of lives had been lost. By 8
O'Clock Waco creek had overlowed its
banks, swift current sweeping away q
number of houses along It's course. By
noon every one had deserted the over.
flowed districts in East Waco. That
portion of the city is completely iuunda. !.
ted, resulting In the loss Of about $40 900.
No less than fifty houses are under water,
twenty Of which are business houses.
Fears are also entertained for the mag.
nificent suspension bridge belonging to
the city. A negro arrived last night
from six miles south of the city reports
that family Of six negroes we're washed
away and drowned. The damage to the
farms and crops along the river and
creeks must be enormous. It can moi
even be estimated now.

Capt. Dawson's statement clearly eh.
titles Dir. Morgan to citizenship in this
State under the laws Of South Carolina,
though that citizenship does not, of itself,
entitle him to promotion to office. If,
however, he is appointed to office under
the general government, he should, OF
course, be credited to the State in which
his citizenship lies. In our opinion, the
appointment does not call for the criti.
cism which it has elected. The Regi,ter's
malice towards the Ne,Os and Courier
leads it into the peurile position Of BELT
tleing Capt. Dawson, and his claims
upon the people of South Carolina.
The lNTELLIGENcER has often differed
widely from the Ncrs and Courier, and
on several occasions has been engaged in
vigorous discussion of those differences,
but this does not blind us to the fact that
the News and Courier, under the control
of Capt. Dawson, has become one of the
ablest, most interesting and most inAu.
ential papers of the South, and what is
more, that influence is high-toned and
promotive of the prosperity and progress
of the State. II IL like all other things
controlled by men, liable to err, but it is
ridiculous in little, envious competitor
to attempt to ignore the fact that Capt.
Dawson has done great deal for South
Carolina. lie has sometimes, we think,
been wrong in matters of public policy,
but his paper has been of incalculable
benefit to the people of the State.
The Register intimates that there
should be difference between the stand.
ing and influence Of native and an
adopted citizen Of this State. In this
position we are .gain ready to take issue
with our contemporary. One citizen Of
South Carolina has as much right to
share in the emoluments of public Office
as another, provided he is fitted and can
secure the position coveted. Our sense
of right and propriety is, that the acci-
dent of a mans birth should not debar
him from all the benefits which any man
of similar merit and attainment might
achieve.
The Register may think to entertain
these opinions is anti. .Carolinian, but
we must submit that this self.constituted
Solomon has no moro claim to the feel-
ings of South Carolinian than many less
pretentious, though moro valuable men.
What has the present management of
the Register ever done for South Caroli-
na7 There is scarcely public man in
tue State that it has not belittled or cen.
sured 1t acts upon the principle that
If it cannot control public affairs, it can,
at least, belittle those who do. Instead
of building up, its policy is to disparage
South Carolinians, and as n State is
judged by her people, and people by
their public men, the policy of the
Register has been to disparage the State
in the eyes of the outside world, so far
as those eyes have seen South Carolina
through the Registers glass. We are not
afraid of the Registers scorn. The In.
record can stand com.
parison with 1t without detriment.
