The secretary OF the interior sustained
the decision nj the commissioner of the gen.
eral land office in the contested case Of
Dan w. Oyeracker IS. Patrick McGovern,
canoeing the letters OF entry to the north
east quarter OF section 3. township 100,
range II west, Mitchell land district. On
April IA, 1885, Acting Commissioner Har-
rison held the entry for cancellation, be-
cause McGovsrn had not carried out the
terms Of the entry in good faith, and the
secretary holds hat the testimony sus-
tains this view OF the case. The commits
sioner is also sustained in ex parte Henry
j. King, who was not allowed to file on
lands in sections 10 and IA, township104,
range III west. This land is part of the
Crow Creek reservation, and King claimed
that being officially notified of the execu-
tive order OF Feb. 81, 1886, throwing open
the reservation, the local land officers were
in duty bound to receive his filing. This
they refused to do, and Mr.. Sparks held
they were right. Acting Secretary Muldrow
now sustains Mr.. Sparks.

The Minneapolis Exposition.

II You nave not as yet visited the Min
neapolis exposition you should do SO at
once. 1t is a grand show and we'll worth a
visit. Among the other exhibits is one in
the southwest corner OF the third floor OF
peculiar interest; it is the display OF work
lone by the pupils of st. Joseph's academy,
ST. Paul. In cases are shown some beauti
full specimens Of table covers, wall banners,
designs OF chair seats and backs all IN
broidered in the most skillful manner, and
choicest patterns by the young ladies
whose names appear on the cards attached
to the different articles. There is q charm
ing set OF furniture, each article having
choice designs embroidered on the seats
and backs; there are cushions, silk bags,
articles for the toilet each more beautiful
than the other; and on the wall behind the
exhibit are some fifty pictures in oil or
crayon, copies OF celebrated paintings or
original work. A crowd is always around
this display, and the universal verdict is
that no school in the Northwest could turn
out finer work. 1t is alike creditable to
the sisters and their pupils, and the rela-
tives of the young ladies experience special
pleasure and qualification when they hear
how warmly every one praises the school
where their children are receiving such a
thorough and complete education.

The disposition to be made of Geronimo,
Natchez and the other. leaders of the capt
ured band of Apaches is causing discussion
at the war department. 1t is believed that
Generals Sheridan, Miles and other army
officers who nave had large experience in
dealing with hostile Indians, favor the exc
cution by hanging of Geronimo and Match
ez, and the removal from Arizona to Flori-
da Of the remaining hostiles. This policy
is favored by the army, not SO much as a
punishment for the leaders named as for
the influence it would have upon those In
dians who are disposed to take the war
path every year. These Indians ea certain
the belief that the government is afraid OF
them, and to place the captives upon a res.
~eryation especially atd supply their wants
would strengthen this belief. The hanging,
therefore, of Geronimo and Natchez would
destroy this feeling among their followers
and other Indians disposed TO make an nu-
al outbreaks, and result in preventing
further depredations.

New5erry and the Congressman.
SPARTAN.

The convention at Seneca has adopted
the minority primary plan for nominat-
ing the candidate for Congress in this
district, subject to the approval of the
State convention. Newberrv has two
candidates. The friends Of both are
anxious for them to leave Newbcrry
with the largest vote possible, as they
nave to contest with Anderson and Alb
bevillc, both being larger counties. and
having more votes. Mr.. Lipscomb's
friends think he should receive the vote
Of Newberry, Mr.. J~ohnStone's friends
ask it for him. The Observer says that
neither Of these Newberry men should
be voted for by their friends and neigh
bors, but that the vote should go to Il
candidate Of another county. If this
condition Of things continues the candi-
dates from Newberry will be at a disad
vantage, unless the friends Of Messrs.
LipScomb and tombstone urite upon one
or the other of them. The people OF
Anderson will vote for Mr.. Simpson, and
if Judge Cothran declares himself to be
a candidate, (Mr. Benct declares in that
event he will not be,) the vote Of Able
vile will 20 to him. The vote Of Oco-
nee and Pickens will be the unknown
quantity until the ballots have been
counted. Newberry is the only county
which has a "contingent'' that is work
ing against the nomination Of its candi-
dates. and from this county alone do we
find anonymous letters written. to boom
the candidate. Of another county. We
think under these circumstances it would
be best for the friends of Messrs. Lips
comb and tombstone to arrange a pri-
mary, in advance of the general primary
for the district and to ugree that tho can
didate receiving the majority Of the votes
in the county would receive the vote Of
the friends Of both Mr.. Lipscomb and
Mr.. tombstone in the general primary
in the district, and that no one be nj
lowed to vote at said primary who would
not vote in the general primary for the
candidate thus selected. This the friends
of Messrs. Lipscomb and %Johnstone
have q right to do, and by %pledglns
themselves to abide by the result. the
chance for securing the nomination for
Newberry would be greatly improved
and we think that the candidate who has
a majority Of the votes of Newbcrry
County should receive the support Of
every man in the county.-NeV6erYy

INCORRECT.

The Prosperity Press and Reporter
in the course ofa discussion in which it is
engaged with the N~ewberry Observe,
anent the Congressional race says this.
"The Newbcrry Observer has acandidate
1t might be we'll to remark that the
NewberryO Observer has only share in its
candidate, for the Abbeville MESSENGER,
published at Judge Cothran,s home. il
also e~ndeaUorina to get the people to
demand his services" X
We have only to say that this state
ment is not true.
One Of the editors Of the MESSENGER
is nearly related to Capt. Lipscomb who
ia a candidate for congress the other is
nearly related to Judge Cothran. Un-
der these embarrassing circumstances the
MESSENGER has not pressed the claims
Of any candidate. In oil our publica-
tons we have sought simply to do
justice to them all. We would be
pleased If u Prosperity friend would
show us in what respect we have zen
denrored to get the people to demand''
Judge ,Cotbran's services, or for that
matter demand unybody's services?

Sprout that convince us that that Green
back "Cephalopod,' J. Hendrix McLane
is the author. IF our surmise be correct
it will be readily understood how this
"Cephalopod" detaching himself from
the Democratic party and running for
Governor on the Greenback ticket in
1882, and being defeated, has written
and delivered this speech, which is the
embodiment Of the disappointment born
Of the destruction Of that short lived
dream Of power and glory in which he
INDUCED.

to pull down and break the image Of
everything political and social that aver
existed in South Carolina. The Demo

had remained Lieutenant Governor he
would have been probably in the race

that as he has the highest order Of abili-

For Attorney General.

Several, gentlemen have been present
ed for the nomination for Attorney Cen
eral. And in the hands Of any Of them
we believe the affairs of that department
OF the government would be ably admin.
ISlcred. 1t seems TO us, however, that
there are very strong reasons why At
torney General Miles should be rcnomi-
mated to this office His conduct =: the
matter Of the Revenue Bend Scrip
e~vinces the high order Of ability he pos
sesses. and his thorough know ledge Of
the science of law. BY his successful
management Of this case he saved hum
dreds Of thousands Of dollars to the
State. He likewise won the Corbip L.
Stone suit and recovered judgment for
more than $4,000 for the State. These
things show how well he is able to grab
pie with the most intricate and difficult
questions. Moreover, the Attorney Cen
eral is now engaged in matters that he
ought to finish. He has mas tered the
details Of them, and if they be now
placed in the hands Of another, however
able able he may be, delay must neces-
sarily ensue.
All those who have had the oppor,un-
ity to judge, bear testimony to MIR. Miles
watchful interest in the affairs Of his OF.
flee, and Of his faithful discharge of its
duties.

FOR SUPPLEMENTARY OF I;DC-
CATION.

The qualities that fit one for the dis
charge Of the duties Of this office are.
in addition TO education, those of bust
ness tact, and energy and enthusiasm,
and familiarity with schools and their
successful Infringement. In all these
particulars the Hon. Jas. II. Rice, Of
Ninety-Six, is pre-eminent. and his
friends have determined to present him
to the public as a candidate for this
office. Mr.. Rice has been sue
cessful in everything he has undertaken.
He graduated ut Furman University.
and took a course Of law at Harvard.
Just as he was admitted to the Bar the
war came on and he volunteered for
the fray. During its whole course he
was 4 brave soldier serving faithfully
and we'll in the artillery arm Of the
service. at it's close he was pcnniless.
He settled at N~inety-SiX and for some
years taught school with much success
and satisfaction. He then commenced
to farm and here he achieved success
and competence. Indeed few men have
been II. ore successful than he us a farm
er. In 1873 he resumed the practice Of
law. at the same time continuing his
farming operations. His usual success
has attended him in both calliugs. He
is a man Of such practical, gool sense
and such industry that he could scarce
ly fail in any undertaking. The pco-
pie among whom he lives, indeed all
who know him, have the utmost con-
fidence in him. In 1878 lie was elected
to the Legislature and served with
honor to himself and his county. He
declined reelection and returned to
the pursuits Of private life.
In the management of the school sys-
tenn in this State he would bring to the
work these same excellent qualities,
and infuse into that almost dormant
body his " energy and enthusiasm.
Withal he is all educated man, n con-
slant reader and a deep thinker. In the
prime Of manhood, a sound mind in a
sound body, he is peculiarly fitted for
just the labor that Is needed to elevate
the public school system in South Caro-.
lima. We have known him long and we'll
it is a labor of love to bear willing
testimony to his eminent qualifications
for this office. He is n man Of such high
and pure character that he would adorn
any position. If nominated he will do
yeoman service in tho cause. His
friends and his county present him with
pride to the people Of the State and
urge his nomination.

Miss Connolly Acquitted.

We are perhaps the lost person to say
aught against that sentiment Of chiIalry
and respect for woman, which has been
so long distinctive Of Southern society.
That man who by act or deed casts an
aspersion upon the fair name Of a woman
deserves little commiScration for any
fate that ovcrtakes him. 1t is true that
The dearest treasure mortal times
afford
Is spotlesS Rcpntatior-that away.
Men are hut painted loan, or gilded
clay
If Mr.. Stcedly Slandcrcd Miss Con-
nelly, he deserved punishment. Crr-
tairlv his fate was Il terrible one. Hut
what we object to is the manner Of her
,cquiual. a review of the testimony
shows that the only evidence upon the
line Of the defense was Miss Connclly's
unsupported statement that the dead
man had Slandered her. That's all !
How and in what mamie did not APP
pear upon her trial. That the killing
was deliberate and pre-mnditatcd. and
done under most extraordinary circum-
stanccS-in 4 church-was not denied.
1t should then have required clear and
explicit testimony to relieve the accused
Of all responsibility. AS sacred as is
wolnan'S honor and good name, it will
not be wise to establish the precedent
that upon Il Simpl" charge of SANDER hn-
man life may be taken. That too, is sa-
cred and strict and ;trohg proof should
be demanded that the oifcnsr has been
committed. We know nothing Of the
truth or The untruth OF the charge
against the dead Stcedly, but We Gamma,
think that the jury'S action WAS war
rantcd by the evidence.
Strange as was the action Of the Jury,
stranger was that Of the neighbours OF
Miss Connolly, who Scrcnaded her for
cher heroic action in staying the man
who slanderei her, and for joy at her
acquittal. If it was necessary for her
to Stay Stcedly in defense Of her good
name, it was a dire necessity, bitterly to
be regretted, and not to be made the
ground upon which to base claims to
hcroism. Surely it was very bad taste
on the part of the serenaderS.

Nine years ago we were associated in

though after n few years our paths in

his brilliant career upward in the lines OF

all Of his successes. On III" 1lth in
