With the removal Of Mr.. II. N.
Deatrick from our midst, Martinsbnrg
loses one Of the most enterprising, hon
orable, and upright citizens. Born
in Adams County, Pa, fifty-fonr years
ago, and coming here ut the late war,
he entered the. mercantile business,
and by scrupulous integrity he at once
won the confidence and respect Of the
people, which he retained until his
death. Always pleasant and accom-
modating, his friends are numbered
by the score, and his decease will he
universally regretted. Mr.. Deatrick
held number Of Offices Of public
trust, so implicit was the confidence
placed in him. Some years ago he
was President Of the Gas Company Of
this city, and President Of the Nation
al Bank, which position he was not
able to hold on account Of declining
health, but became vice president
and director in both The deceased
held many other responsible Offices.
He was member Of the order Of Roy
al Arcanum, Knights Of Honor, and
Masonic Lodge, Of which he was treas
trer. Also was President Of Mutual
fire insurance company at the time Of
his death.
The immediate cause Of Mr.. Deatricks
death was due to heart trouble. He
had partaken Of hearty supper and
was apparently in perfect health. He
was in his place Of business and fell
in the presence Of his son. Funeral
services viii be conducted at the Luth-

Our correspondent 1T Harper's Fer
IN, writes as follows No effort what
ever Is being made % capture ], Il.
Cleveland, tho would-be-ravisher, Of
this place. II is automatically stated
that Cleveland Is At Sandy Hook, Md,
and bids defiance 10 the authorities Of
West Virginia. He sent word here
yesterday that he would come back IL
his brother would only,go on his bond
to keep the peace. His brother re-
fused in bitter terms, and will express
no opinion OF the matter. Last night
reporter visited n number of bust
ness places, and talked with the most
reliable people in tho Ferry. They
condemn In severe terms the action Of
Squire Briggs in trying 70 cover the
matter over BY terming il case OF
assault and battery. The little girl,
named Painter. who Cleveland ravish-
ed a week or 50 ago, WAS AZ one time
lin critical condition. Her health
was greatly impaired. Her father Is
censured IN the worst form for
his method Of disposing d this case.
The fact has just leaked out that
Clevelands mother, who is very aged,
went to squire Briggs on Monday and
appealed to his sympathy on her be-
half, and also begged Mrs. Dietz to
allow the matter to blow over The
people Of Harpers Ferry paid no atten-
| ton whatever, authorities included to
the first offence, or even the second,
land allowed Cleveland to lay around
on drunk until Monday morning,
when he left, and at which time Mrs.
Dietz swore out a warrant for his ar
rest. Everything seems to be quiet
| ing down, and there is no doubt but
what the matter will be allowed TO
blow over. The supposition Is that
because the unfortunate people in
these terrible affairs are poor, no at-
tention will be paid them whatever.
These crimes are among the most
atrocious on the pages Of the Ferry's
history, and should be made examples
| Of. When civilized community will
allow man Of 40 years Of age to raw
ish children at the age Of IL years, ant
afterward make the attempt with chill
dren and Ii years old, without mo-
testing him, 1t il then time to cast aside
all regard for morality, decency, and
the law, and fence themselves IN as q
tribe Of heathens.

RIVERSIDE March 9.-Mr. Editor.-News
notes on Riverside are few and very scatter
ing. Farmers are busily engaged preparing
for another crop, and farmwork is now about
weeks in advance Of last year. Less guam,
will be used and less CO. ton will be planted.
More hog and hominy on the one hand
aud greatly reduced expenses on the other,
will put farmers in better shape another
year. One great trouble that confrons the
farmer is back Indebtedness. All agree .h.t
cotton cannot DO grown at and cents, but
say, on top Of this, thst they must make cot
ton in order to pay debts. Times are a little
bard. but nothing like as hard as they are
in Russia. Yet We have reason to be proud
Of our good old State aud county. We can
always hear of starvation in other countries,
but never in old South Carolina.

neA- In noticing tho fact that Mr.. Pa
mcr had declined to accept the position of
Treasurer of this County, The State, Of Tues
day, says:
Gov. TiIlman says that the removed treas
urer has used all the funds available for this
yoar, and nothing is left to pay the salary Of
any person appointed to fill the unex xpired
term. No more salary is available till next
year, and the Governor intends to try and
get some one to do tho work as labor of
love.
= Many people may construe the above into
o charge against Mr.. Scott that he had
'eronglg. or rstraud,tlenfiy "usei oil the fu nds
available for this year." etc. but that is far
from the truth, anil those who 90 cons,rue
it. do great injustice to Mr.. Scott. The
facts are as follows:
The Treasurer's salary is paid in Commits
sicns upon tho amounts he collects, and can.
not be over $500. The commissions are
graduated as follows: Upon the first $lO,-
OOo, he receives A per cent, upon tho next
$4,000, 2 per cent, and on all above that
! per cent. Mr.. Scott had collected about
%fo'ooo when hc was suspended, and the law
plainly entitled him 10 the commissions upon
the collections he had made.
The frcsent condition of the nff,irs in the
Treasurer Office certainly shows weak
point in the system Of paying the salary Of
that Office by commissions on receipts, mere
especially the gra ing system of those COM
missionss
The fact now stares us in tho face, that
We have no Treasurer TO collect taxes, aud
mp mopeysto pay one, lawfully; and the
man can't to fcund to accept the position
who can, or is wiling to, give 500, 900 bond
for the privilege of assuming the great res
ponsibilitiesof the office and depend upou
the hberality ani mercy OF legislature yet
to be elected, whether he will get a dollar
for his services or not.
