Mule Thief Shot Dead.

GREENv1LLE, November 5.-Early
yesterday a mule was missing from the
stables Of Ignatius Few, in the, upper
section of this County. The thief had
left plain trail, and pursuing party
was soon organized, consisting of lgna-
thus Few, James Suddetb, Jasper Suddeth
and Joseph Balew. The party set out
in chase of the thief, and about 10
o'clock overlook a white man riding in
the road and mounted on the stolen ami
NAL. One of the party ordered the man
to halt and give up the mule. He an.
swered that be would "kill or be killed"
before he would give it up, and with
these words he made motion as if to
draw pistol. At this moment James
Suddeth raised double barrelled shotgun
and fred. The shot was true, and the
man fell from the mule dead without
speaking another word. Trial Justice
John F. Gentry, acting coroner, held On
inquest on the body, the jury returning
verdict charging James suddeth with the
killing, and making the others accessories
thereto. The man who was killed was
an utter stranger in the country. He
was about feet 10 inches high, weight
14O pounds, and had a deformity in his
right hand, the wrist of which was drawp,
as if by burn. On his person, besides
loaded revolver, was found silver
watch with the name w. G. Gregory
scratched thereon, $225O in currency,
and papers bearing the names of 'Rob,
bic Jones" and "R. J. JONES'" with the
address "Dallas, Castor County, North
Carolina" He was neatly dressed and
seemed altogether more like we'll to do
farmer than a mule thief. After the
verdict of the coroner's jury the two
Suddeths, Ballew and Few were brought
here and placed in jail to day. Mr.. ]. A.
Mooney has been retained as counsel for
the prisoners and application will at once
be made for writ of habeas corpus
before Judge Hudson. All the men are
of respectable families and known as
peaceable and industrious farmers. The
general sentiment here endorses the kill.

The Fiftieth Congress.

WASHINGTON, November 5.-The re-
port from California that the Congress.
ional delegation elected stands three Re-
publicaus and three Democrats takes that
State out of the Republican strength in
the next House in the event that the
Presidential election should devolve
upon it and makes it impossible now for
either party to have the necessary ma.
jority Of twenty to decide the contest if
there is no election by the people. The
divided delegations, as far as known, are
West Virginia, California and New
Hampshire. The Senate in the Fiftieth
Congress, conceding Indiana and New
Jersey to the Democrats and Nevada
and California to the Republicans, will
stand forty Republicans and thirty.six
Democrats, a majority of four, which
would insure the election of Republi-
can Vice President if the choice should
have to be made by that body, and who
in that event would consequently become
the President. The latest revision of
the table does not materially change the
total vote given in these dispatches
printed to-day. The Democrats figure
i66. The Republicans, including the
Rhode Island vacancy and tho Seventh
Ohio, which is still in doubt. claim 157,
and the two Labor candidates from
Wisconsin and Virginia may be divided
between the two parties. The total
would then be 1877 Democrats and l5S
Republicans bare majority of nine.
In this estimate Pennsylvania is credited
with 20 Republicans and 8 Democrats,
California with 3 Republicans and 8
Democrats and West Virginia with 2
Republicans and 2 Democrats, Colorado
is still claimed for the Democrats,
Michigan Republicans and Democrats,
Iowa 8 Republicans and Democrats.
The probabilities are now in favor of on
increase of the Democratic vote By the
official count Of the returns, but the
actual Democratic majority in the next
Congress will not exceed ten.

The rumors that a majority of the
stock of the Georgia Central Railroad
has been purchased by parties under the
control of the Richmond & Danville
syndicate has produced profound sensa.
ton in railroad circles. The truth of the
rumors cannot be ascertained, but there
is no doubt that the Richmond & Dan.
vile people are trying to capture their
strong and formidable ally. If they
succeed, it will be very bad for Anderson,
who has put S63, 500 into the Savannah
Valley Railroad for the purpose of So
curing competition. We hope the Cen.
tral will remain under the present man.

When Mr.. Raouls proposition for a
new charter for the Port Royal and
Carolina Western Railroad comes before
the Legislature, our Representatives,
should, if possible, put in section
which will prohibit the consolidation,
lease or combined management of the
roads composing the new line with any
competing line, or in fact with any other
line, without an enabling Act from the
Legislature. It is time to stop the con.
solidation of railroads-built by the
people-with roads hostile to the objects
for which the new roads were built.

The Republicans are jubilant over the
result Of the late elections. They have
reduced the Democratic majority in Con-
gress from forty.6vs to twelve. They
would have been in the majority'in the

Democrats had not gained in Republican
States. This is what Democratic apathy
can do for the party.

What Hurts.

There is an outcry, here and there, not
so rociferous since the elections, against
Hon. George D. Tillman's statement
that this Administration is responsible
for hard times.
understand Mr.. Tillman to mean
by this that the President is allied with
the Northern or Wall street money
power, in favor of the gold standard and
currency contraction, and hostile to the
free coinage of silver. Mr.. Tillman and
other economists refer the stringency of
the markets, the low price of cotton,
wheat, etc., to this Eastern legislation,
which, under q Democratic Admiuistra-
ton, differs, in no way financially, from
the policy pursued by Hugh McCulloch
and John Sherman as Secretaries of the
Treasury.
Now, very pertinently, comes the
Birmingham Age and complains that
while money is abundant at the North,
at low rates of interest, "it is very high
to the favored borrowers in Alabama,
while many of the people cannot get
dollar, not even if they offer to do q days
work for it. We venture to say that not
exceeding one in one hundred, or as to
that matter, one in FIVE hundred of the
laboriDg men in the region of the cotton
plantations in Alabama can 60 out in
the morning and find a months work tn
living cash wages. This fact is. of itself,
whole chapter of explanation of the
financial distress of the country"
The Age refers most of this stringency
to hide. bound State law that bars the
way to outside capital, althoug h $50, ,000,-
900 of taxable property is permitted to
escape assessment.
Our contemporary adds: "Our entire
cotton crop goes out without bringing
dollar of money back. We get meat,
-four, meal, corn, hay and the like for it,
and then mortgage our lands to meet the
difference between sales of cotton and
purchases of supplies to make cotton
again. If the farmers would mortgage
their lands and religiously devote the
money raised to fencing it and stocking
it, to save at home all money now sent
out to buy grain, meat and mules, what
a splendid profit cotton at eight cents
would make on land making half bale
to the acre."
Perhaps, if the South and West had
q different financial policy at Washing.
ton, money would be more abundant in
those sections, and an awakening of
home industry without the necessity of
mortgage.
The Fiftieth Congress may be memo:
rable for shifting the political centre and
changing the Wall street idea to one
more in the interest of the whole people.
While the South is drained of her profits,
the East reaps the benefit by controlling
legislation, and, when parties are revolu.
tionized, perpetuating under Manning
the system of Sherman.
IF the money. changer of the East is to
control everything, the people of Ala.
bama and other Southern States may be
long without the surplus dollar they are
hunting for.

election of Gen. Elliott by from 500 to

minutes before o'clock this morning.
He wert straight down a distance of 190
feet and came up out of the water
somewhat dazed but still able to strike
out for his boat. He was taken in and
stimulants were given him, and although
one of his ribs is broken and his hip is
bruised, it is thought that he is not
dangerously injured. The jump was
witnessed by only four or five persons.
