A Squad of COnvicts at Large.

GREENNILLE, S. c., Aug. 1S-The es-
cape of 10S convicts from Stockade, on
Spartanburg and Asheville Road, in
North Carolina, is confirmed. A gentle
man just arrived from Merrittsville re-
ports having seen fifteen of the men with
their shackles still on, roaming around
the country and seemingly making no
effort to get out of the way. They con-
firmed the rumOr that the guards were
asleep when their escape was effected,
and also that the entire squad, save one,
who was shetland killed by guard
aroused by the stampede, succeeded in
the break for liberty. AS the reward in
North Carolina for arrest of convicts is
only $40, the arresting officers taking all
risks, the fugitives will not be seriously

1t is often considered hard that young
men of good character and habits should
be rejected at West Point, but it should be
remembered that the institution is main.
tanned for the benefit of the government
and not for The good of the Individual.
The government has right to demand
and ought to receive as good men as can
be had for the inducements it offers. and
the blame for personal disappointments
should fall upon those who send unfit
men to West Point and not upon those
who reject them solely in the interest of
the government. Certainly each CON
gressional district has many men who
can acquit themselves with credit at the
military academy and for the interest of
the country, and to avoid the bitter hu.

Irregularities in the Mails.

WASHINGTON, August 19.-The Post
master General of Cuba has notified the
American superintendent of foreign mails
that mails have been received at Havana
per American steamships Cienfugos,
City of Washington and Newport, arriv-
ing out on the 9th and 18th of August,
which, although they bore the proper
stamps, showed no signs of having pass
ed through any postol1ice. He calls at
tention to the irregularity and informs
the department that "such mail" al
though franchised has "been considered
as fraudulent and caused to pay tax ac.
cording TO the rules of the postal union !"
The mails were in three shipbags, and
consist, it is assumed, Of letters sent un-
der the special notices of the companies
which recently refused to carry the reg
ular mails. The rule of the postal union
provides that double rates shall be charg-
ed to the receiver Of letter insufficient
ly prepaid. The Cuban office does not
recognize the uncancelled stamp affixed
to the letter at all, and hence the receiver
of letter which would be entitled to
transmission through the mails to desti-
nation for five cents, will be compelled to
pay ten cents in Cuba, making total
payment at both ends fifteen cents.
These irregular mails arrived one day
behind the regular mails sent on the same

evening Miss Jamie Griffith, an estimable
young lady, daughter of Anson Griffith,

a singular misfortune. Miss Griffith re-
sides with her father on a farm. She
heard one of litter of small pigs squeal-

the male members of the family, went to

KENTUCKY KING.
ARRESTED IN ARKANSAS FOR
MURDER
committed In the Mountains OF the Blue
80 Grass siate--Isis Escape to tho West
and Final Capture.

Yesterday Moses King was brought to
the city in custody of Sheriff Williams
and deputy, Rutherford, of Sebastian
county, Arkansas, and awaited the de.
parture of the 9;10p. m East Tennessee
train on which they left for Whitley
county, Kentucky. Mr., King is charged
with killing Deputy Sheriff p. C. Rains,
OF Whitley county, in 1888. He was try.
ing to arrest him. The murder was said
to be unprovoked and considerable excite
ment prevailed on account of the killing
at the time, so much so that reward of
$4,000 was offered for his arrest. All of
this however is said to have been with.
drawn except $500 which the captors
will secure.
During the excitement the prisoner es.
capped to the Indian nation, and remained
there till some months ago, when he
went to Fort Worth, Texas, Finding so
many in that part of the country who
would be likely to know him he left for
Sebastian county, Ark, where he was
arrested. Awaiting the departure of the
train the prisoner was confined in the
county Jail in this city,
While here he acknowledged that he
was the man wanted in Kentucky, but
denied having committed the murder.
King is about thirty five years of age, tall
andserae andfnot n person 10 be ,sus,

His countenance did not bespeak his
guilt, and II he is the murderer he has
succeeded in schooling the expression of
his features to that of Innocence
Last night Sheriff Williams left with
his charge for Whitney c. H., where the
trial will take place There is some feel
ing of uneasiness yet manifested by those
who have King in charge, as they know
the excitable disposition of the mountain
people in Whitley. Although their wrath
may be slumbering it is apt to be aroused
at any moment, more especially by Kings

SECRETARY ENDICoTT UNPoP-

MassachuIetts Democrats Condemn His
Action in the Boston Custom
house Matter.

Boston, Aug 19-Secretary of War
Endicott has returned to his home in Sa-
lem, to find himself very unpopular with
the working Democrats of that place 1t
is well understood that it is his opposi-
tion to Peter Butler which has for
months prevented the appointment of
that gentleman as collector at Boston,
with the consequent distribution of many
small offices.
At a meeting of the Democratic CITY
Committee of Salem, it was unanimously
voted to indefinitely postpone action
upon the demand of the State Central
Committee for $18j assessments for the
support of the central headquarters in
Boston. The demand has been made
three times on the Salem committee, and
each time refused IF they want room
for those Boston Democrats to loaf in,
let them pay for it," said one. Another
said; 1--WE are under Democratic Ad.
ministration; all OF the offices are, of
course, or ought to be, filled by Demo
Gratis; then assess 'em. We who are not
office holders and who don't want to be,
won't pay any of the bills; assess the
custom-houses and the post offices"
Another said: 81 want the Democratic
CITY Committee this year not to spend
dollar in the State election; let it 90 by
default. | hope there won't be ballot
printed or a caucus held in Salem. For
here is body of men in this State who
