The Kemper County Trial,. Mra. Chishom's Story of the Murder of he Daughter. Telegraph to The News and Courier. DEKALB, Miss., September 9.--Th taking of evidence in the trial o Henry J. Gully for the murder o Cornelia Chisholm, on April 29, 1877 began yesterday. Seventy witnesses thirty.two for the State and thirty eight for the defence, were put unde ruli and excluded from the court room. Mrs. Chisholm, the first wit ness, testified that an excited crowd o men entered DeKalb on the eveninc of April 28, 1877, and it was largeli increased on the following morning Sinclair, then sheriff, arrested he husband on the morning of the 29th He asked to be placed under guard a his own home, and sought an in tan investigation of the charges agains him. Armed men kept coming arount the house. Sheriff Sinclair converse( with them and then talked to Chis bolm. Chisholm told one of the crowd 'You cowardly scoundrels, you will kil me before evening, but before you d< I will make souie of you bite th< dust.' Sinclair came to my husbani about 11 o'clock and said they say yot must go to jail. McLellan, myself m.y .sons Clay, Johnnie and Willie and daughter Cornelia, accoupaniec my husband to jail. We were cling ing to him to shield his body. Mr Mosely and Mr. Overstreet were insid( the jail with the party, and the dooi of the lower floor of the jail was lockei -behind them. The family were up stairs, and the door was locked on th( inside. I was sent home by my hus band on an errand. Heard firing a I came back toward the jail, and sav old man McLellan fall pierced by sev eral buckshot behind the jail. ] rushed inside the jail and found th( stairway crowded with men. Rossei was at the top of the stairs, and Win Gully was trying to break the lock o the upper door with axes. My daugh ter Cornelia, son Johnnie and Mr. Overstreet were holding the door on th< inside. My daughter's face was bleed ing. Rosser said to my daughter, 'Damn your soul I will blow your brain! out if you don't get out of the way. Rosser fired the first shot through th( broken lock which severed my son'; hand from his arm. The door wa4 then broken open and my little bo3 shot through -the heart. Some on( inside fired and Rosser fell dead. Tw< men caught him by the heels ani dragged him down stairs. My hus band was bewildered at the death o! Johnnie. I and my son Clay carried the dead boy down stairs. Cornelit and father came down stairs. Henry J. Gully came up and raised his gun I closed the grated door at the botton of the stairway. My daughter clasped my husband around the neck. Gully fired through the grating in the door My daughter screamed 'I am shot. Judge Chisholm opened the door, and as he stepped out Henry Gully came out of an adjoining room with another gun and fired again at him, and he fell. Clay and I assisted my husband in reaching home. My daughter was bleeding in the face. Her eyes were blackened by a blow. She was shoi in the ankle and in the heel. She was shot by Henry Gully. Sbe died from the effects of her wounds. Mrs. Chisholm produced Cornelia's brace. let, which was broken and driven inte her arm, also one buckshot taken out of her body. 'May yonr troubles only be littlE ones, aid may you always have Dr. Bull's Baby Syrup handy' said an old bachelor to a newly-married couple. The Chances for Cotton. A Bather Unfavorable Report from the Charles. tan Exchange. News and Courier. To the President and Directors of the Charleston Exchange : GENTLEMEN-Your committee beg leave to submit the following report, based on 77 replies from 29 counties . The weather for the month of August is almost universally reported as unfavorable, too much rain or else too much cold being complained of, and compares not well with last sea son. The late growth is generally re. ported as fruiting, but poorly, except. ing in a few counties, and not retain ing the bolls. The condition of the crop on the 31st ult., is reported fully as good to better by twenty ; about the same by ten ; not quite so good by thirty-five, aud from 10 to 50 per cent. worse as compared with last season by twelve. Picking has commenced in all but six counties, and will be general in the lower- counties by the 8th and in the upper by the 15th instant. Worms are only roported in one county, and no damage is anticipated therefrom. The plant has been considerably in jured, both by shedding and rust, the rain having caused the weed to put on too much growth, and much of the fruit either to rot or to fall off. On an average we should say about 20 per cent. has be*en lost by shedding. To estimate the comparative damage by rust is hardly possible, as every season there is considerable loss from this cause. Everything now depends on the weather. If the same is seasonable and with a late frost, a good crop may yet be made. A. NORDEE, Chairman, E. WILtus, R. D. MURE, L. J.

The tidings that have come from England, France and other Euro pean countries for the past several weeks exhibits a distressing state of affairs. Their crops were ex L tremely short, and they are depend ent on America for their bread sup plies. Millions of gold have come from them to us in exchange for provisions. Here is a statement for two days, September 10th and 11th: "The steamship Algeria, from Liverpool to New York, yesterday, brought $1,556,200 in gold, and the - St. Laurent, from Havre, $1,595, 600 in specie. The steamship Wel land, from Hamburg, this morning brought $1,290,000 in French and German gold coin. The steamship Weser, from Bremen, brought $450, - 000 in foreign coins and bars." Poor crops and scarcity of provi sions are not the only ills the peo Spie are suffering. Large numbers are out of employment. Many man ufactories, iron works and other industries are idle, and the former employes can find nothing to do. Those who can find work have their wages . reduced to such an extent that they find them insufficient for the support of their families ; and, as a consequence, "strikes" are fre -quent. Another consequence is that emigration to this country is great ly increasing, and for some time to come will be unusually large. A telegram from London, dated Sep tember 10th, says: "The Echo, this afternoon, says that Howocks, Mil ler & Co., the largest cotton manu facturers in the North of England, have given notice of five per cent. reduction in the wages of their em ployes, and that this probably her alds a general reduction. The cot ton operatives of Padcham, Lan cashire, have proposed to form a branch of a National Emigration Association." The distress in England is of such a general and serious nature that Parliament has taken hold of the matter, and has appointed a committee of its members "to in vestigate the causes of the prevail ing distress in the agricultural dis tricts of England." A sub-commit tee, consisting of two members of the House of Commons, arrived in New York the 6th instant. This sub- committee is charged with the duty of inquiring into the condition of the agricultural classes in this country, and the method by which our agricultural system is conduct ed, with a view of applying them to their own system. Doesn't it look strange ; and isn't it a distinguished tribute to Young America, that the mother country should pay her so much honor ? Should consent to sit at her feet and learn from her ? The grain crops raised in this country during the past season were very large, and we suppose she can supply all demands from a foreign source. The distressing times in Europe have redounded to the benefit of America in two very important par ticulars: they have been the cause of a large immigration and a large influx of money. A widow named Potts is walking from Philadelphia to New Orleans for a wager of $5,000. The dis tance is 1,200 miles, in a "bee-line" -much farther, of course, the way she travels. She started last May, and had five months in which to make the journey. She reached Charotte, N. C., the 10th instant, seven hours ahead of time, having walked something over 400 miles. The Republicans of Maine have won a complete victory. The Dem ocrats and Greenbackers did not work harmoniously together, but split their votes in such a way as to lose almost everything. Davis, Republican, was elected Governor. .The Senate stands 18 Republicans to 10 opposition-Democrats and Greenbackers-and the House 87 The New York Democracy Playing the Fool. The State Convention of the Democratic party of New York met in Syracuse, September 10th and 11th, to nominate State officers. Lucius Robinson, present Governor, Henry G. Slocum and Jno. C. Ja cobs were nominated. The Tam many delegates from New York City were "teetotally" opposed to :Robinson. Several speeches were made against his nomination. It was moved that Jacobs, who was Chairman of the Convention be elected by acclamation. The Sec retary put the motion, and there was an almost unanimous response of "ayes"; and the Secretary de clared him elected. Jacobs decided that his nomination was irregular, and declined. Great confusion en sued and the roll was called for votes for the~ nominees. After twenty votes had been cast for Robinson, the Tammany delegates, seeing his nomination was sure, bolted from the Convention. The remainder of the Convention nomi nated Robinson by 243 votes to 58. Clarkson N. Po .ter was then nomi nated for Lieuwnant-Governor, and the rest of the ticket filled out. The Tammany delegates held an independent meeting. David Dud ley Field was chosen President. John Kelly was nominated for Gov ernor and a committee of fifteen were appointed to take such steps regarding the remainder of the ticket as they should think proper. This action of the New York Convention is a most unfortunate thing for the National Democracy, and is calculated to jeopardize all its chLances for the Presidency. New York is the pivotal State; if by such dissensions and splits that State be lost then good bye to the Democratic party. The Next Governor. Many prominent men have been named as suitable for the next Gov ernor of South Carolina. We think it very likely that Gov. Simpson will be his own successor. There can certainly be no objection to him. If, however, he be placed on the Supreme Court Bench, o1 if, for any other reason, he be out of the field, our choice would be a man not yet spoken of, so far as we have hearF -that is Hon. Jno. H. Evins, of Spartanburg, at present Con gressman from the Fourth District. Of all our public men there are none who rank higher in intelleet and statesmanship ; none of a more spotless reputation or purer charac ter. He holds a prominent position in the 46th Congress. This posi tion he has won, not by an undue self assertion, but by his solid worth and emient talents. His speeches in ( ,ogress have been all of a high order ; that in the contested case of Richardson vs. Rainey was a mas terly vindication of South Carolina, and, taken all together, was the best speech we have seen in many a day from any source. Our first choice is Simpson. be cause circumstances seem to entitle him to the position ; after him we would rather see Jno. U. Evins Governor than any other man in the State. Examination of Teachers. The State Educational Board of Examiners, in session last week in Columbia, adopted the following rules with reference to the exami nation of Teachers: 1. That in all cases in which first grade certificates have been granted to applicants upon the second se ries of questions for 1879, the Coun ty Boards of Examiners shall have authornty to renew said certificates annually for a period of time not to exceed three years, provided that the holders of such certificates shall give to the County Boards of Ex aminers satisfactory evidence of continued good chaiacter and effi ciency as teachers. 2. In like manner County Boards of Examiners shall have authority to renew second grade certificates mnnually for a period of time not to exceed two years. 3. All applicants for third grade certificates to be examined annuanlly ~s heretofore. Dr. W. R. Nelson, a member of ~he Legirlature from Kershaw County, died last week. That is ~he third death since the session liosed. It looks a little dangerous Lo be a Legislator, but we doubt r1ot that there will be no lack of ~nen willing to run the risk. Dixon Addy, son of Dr. Addy, of exington, a young man of twenty tour years of age, had his arm torn Memphis. There has been no material change in the condition of Mem phis during the past week. The number of deaths from Yellow Fe ver is about the same. The total 1number'of new cases reported for the week was 132; whites 62, c.>l ored 70. The total number of deaths for the week, reported, was 48; whites 32, colored 16. Up to .Saturday night there had been 1,136 cases. Last Year's Cotton Crop. The National Cotton Exchange has made its report of the cotton crop of the United States for the year beginniing September 1st, 1878 and ending August 31st, 1879. The number of bales was 5,074,155. The Greenback Labor party of Massachusetts met in Faneuil Hall, Boston, the 12th instant, to nomi nate candidates for State officers. Gen. B. F. Butler was nominated for Governor, and Wendell Phillips for Lieutenant Governor. New York Letter. Quick Time-How to Find What is in a Man -Erratic Dick-Going to Stratford. NEw YORK, Sept. 10, 1879. The HERALD has been so exten sively communicated lately that we will not inflict upon it a long letter, although it be from the city of huge proportions and wonderful sights. The distance, eight hundred and fifty miles, was.made in fast time inside of thirty hours, leaving Col umbia at 10.40 Friday morning, and reaching New York at 5 Satur urday afternoon. . Some of the fast est time was made on Friday night, between Danville and Washington, while the traveller reclined at full length on a Pullman stretcher at a cost of one dollar, hoping, longing to be rocked to sleep. Occasionally the hair of the rapidly whirled traveller would rise while contem plating what might happen in the event of collision, telescope, run off, or some other dreadful accident. There was no mishap fortunately, and daylight found a trio of New berrians, Capt. McFall, Dick Sat terwhite and the writer, dusty and haggard, but sound in wind and limb and ready, after the shaking, jerking and thumping, for breakfast, which was not realized, as on this Midland quick time route after sup per at Danville-and a good one by the way-you get nothing more in shape of a regular .meal till New York is reached, withi the exception of a snatched lunch at Wilmington. If you want to find out what is in a man take a ride of a few hun dred miles by rail with him and you will be gratified. Sometimes you can find it out on a steamer when the waves roll mountain high-this is by no means the pleasantest mode, however. In our ride we found McF. as solid as Gibraltar's rock, as true as steel, with no "dem nition nonsense" about him. No thing frets or ruffles him. He would make a good commander of a forlorn hope, run a steamboat or a hash house in a time of famine without showing any doub.t of being able to master the situation. .We feel lar'gely indebted to Me., and the friends of Dick, above named, will be also, on being informed that only by his great and constant watchfulness and experience was that erratic individual kept from going astray or being forever lost. It was his first big trip, and fortu nately he placed implicit confidence in his guide-in proof of which we cite one little instance : At a station where we stopped for a few moments a passenger asked Dick the name of the next stopping place, -"don't ask me," said he, '-but Capt. McFall, I'm tra.velling with him: he knows." What trust and confidence ! The long ride over and the danger of leaving our friend on the road somewhere, Mc. and ourself felt easy. Dick in the city, and what he has done and seen, and his re flections, would fill a book, but as we stated a long letter will not be inflicted on the reader, and particu larly as our two friends will leave for home to-night and reach there before this gets in print, and will tell a vast deal more than we could possibly write. We will not return until the close of the week, intend ing first to visit our friends, the Hurd's, at Stratford, Conn. The city is in a blaze of beauty and attractiveness, and full of busi ness-on Monday last there being no less than eighty-nine South Carolina merchants here, a larger number than known in several years. In tender consideration we close. FOR THE HERALD. To a Literary Donkey. He Browses in Utopia and Discourses on the Common Pub;ic Free School System. He Raises Common Schools and Razes Col leges. No. 2331. Sept. 9, 1879. 8R DONKEY: A word with thee. Thy name, or the name thou hast as sumed, bespeaks the possession of long ears. Lend me thine ears. In the concluding lines of a lengthy discourse on Common Public Free Schools, thou didst solerinly nuDcu pate that thou art a doukey, unadul terated. The appellation is Dot fasci nating and its choice is a little singu lar. What moti've led to the choice? Couldst find no name more calculated to captivate the public ear? Or didst thou have more regard for propriety than for euphony? Perhaps it was thy hope to enhance the credit of hav ing written so long a treatise, by con ferring its authorship upon a donkey. Or didst thou think to avert the scal pel of criticism by plaintively crying, Am I not thy Donkey? I notice in thy illustrations a frequent recurrence to the term "asses"; perchance a fel low feeling guided Ehee in choosing. Or didst thou think to disarm suspi cion by speaking the truth ? I give it up. Thou hast baffled even con jectures, and much surmising has set my brain a-throbbing and my poor head a-ringing as with the tintinabu lation of many bells. At all events, I have the utmost respect for a don key that appears as a donkey, while I entertain the supremest contempt for the mongrel that brays, though wear ing the lion's skin. But let's pass from thy name and its occult import, to something more tangible. Turn to the HERALD of the 3d instant and read the 23d objection and answer contained in an article headed, The Common School System of South Carolina. Read those lines again; they are the darling offspring of thy genius, and richly merit a reperusal. Hast finished?i Then, lay aside the HERALD, and attend. The objection and answer sound we]l, don't they ? The "answer" is nicely framed, isn't it ? Sir Asinus, I am neither a fac ulty nor a member of a faculty of any "one-horse college, so called", and hadst thou adhered to the line of ar gument indicated by the caption of thy articles which have drawn their slow length through six issues of a weekly journal, I should have remain ed in the unbroken quiet that becomes my obscure position. Thine articles might, for my part, have fallen still born from the pen that gave themi birth. 'Tis no part of my design to take issue with thee on The Free School System; I do not design run ning a tilt or driving a quill for or against this or any other system what soeve; 'tis not my trade. I do not object to a man's riding his hobby, if he ride quietly along his course; but when he turns aside and endeavors to coerce others into getting on behind and jogging along with him, it is too much for human nature. It is not enough to advocate thy system; thou must needs in transitu give thyself a pivotal swing, flourish thy heels, and launch vigorous kicks at our colleges. It is plain that no sensible man ad duced that "23d objection" to Com mon Free Schools. IDost suppose any one dolt enough to think an advocate of collegiate education would have couched an objection in such lan guage, or that the snarl which lurks beneath, ever distorted a "collegian's" lips ? No, Donkey, this objection ,with numerous others, had its origin in the fertility of thine own brain. The "answer" was antecedent to the ob jection, and the objection was framed simply to justify thee in giving public expression to the "answer." .Dost follow me ? I heartily concur with thee i.n the opinion that the "objec tion" as an objection is worthless yet it admirably answered the purpose of its invention. Is it the consensus of the enlight ened men of South Carolina-we are speaking exclusively of South Caro ina-that we have too many "one horse" colleges ? Is it ? Am I .pre suming too far when I say the only way to reaeh your real sentiments as to the relative importance of common schools and colleges, is to omit the conditional "if" from the clause-in "answer"-commencing, "If these so called colleges, which only a few, &c." Is the demolition of our "denomina ional colleges" an indispensable con ition to the success of the Comnion Public Free School System ? (That's adeucedly long title.) I trow not, as Ican prove by thine own mouth. See ! In "answer," thou speakest of "col leges, so called, which only a few of he wealthiest can attend,'' and imime. daelv succeeding, thou declarest can attend." The italics are mine ; look at them. Now, answer me, is it not eminently absurd to intimate even that an institution composed of "only a few of the wealthiest" can conflict with or in any way "live and fatten" on another institution composed of "the mass of the people" ? Thou as tute logician, thou Clodius who sittest on the judgment seat, my knowledge of dialectics leads to this observation : In order to the erection of a perfectly rounded, logical argument, there must be a nice correspondence between all its parts. Verily, corsistency finds no lodgment,in thy soul. Again. Thou sayest, "The only legitimate sphere of a rightly called college is in that region lying above and beyond the prescribed course of the Common Public Free School Sys tem." Certainly; I yield thee my heartiest concurrence. But, what is the "prescribed course" of which thou speakest. Canst refer me to a Common Free School conducted on a plane so elevated as that upon which our col leges exist? Advert to the college at Spartanburg and that of the Lutherans at Newberry-representative denomi national colleges-and tell me whether they have descended to an invasion of the Public School System. Did the teachers' examination at Newberry re quire proficiency in any branch of study that appears above the Preparatory De partment in the "small colleges" of our State? Dost not know Preparatory Departments are the outgrowth of a long-felt necessity, a necessity arising from the want of thorough primary training, and from the incfficiency of the majority of Common School teach ers ? When will the Common Free School System be able to confer equal advantages with our "colleges" ? I once heard a scholarly gentleman -not discreet-an alumnus of a "small denominational college'', and teacher in a Common School, say "My school is a feeder to no college." With admirable equipment and rare opportunity he never carried a student beyond the Freshman class of a "small college". His attempt to raise a com mon school to the importance of a "one-horse college" was about as suc cessful as that of the frog that at tempted to assume the huge propor tions of an ox. Both eased to at. tempt. Is it not true that the school sys temn thou hast in mind, exists only in Utopia-Sir Thomas More's synonym of nowhere ? And has not thine ob servation sho0w: thee that our three months, three-dollars-per-capita system has demoralized the patronage of our common schools ? 'Tis true; 'tis pity; And pity 'tis, 'tis true." I'm loth to acknowledge thee to be a more earnest advocate of public edu cation than I am. I hold in utter de testation the midnight ignorance of Italy, and the intellectual gloom that o'ershadows hybrid Mexico. 1 long to see the day when there may go up from the entire area of our little com monwealth, a te deurn as glad and grateful as ever floated across the still waters of beautiful Lucerne; when we can boast a counterpart of the sys tem of public instruction that has dot ted the lovely vales and slopes of Swit zerland with institutions of learning, and has given Germany a universal reputation for culture and enlighten ment. It did not require remarkable profundity on the part of the rats to determine the desirableness of inducing ats to wear bells. But the question -How are we going to bell them ? was mooted ; and to this day cats go without the tinkling appendage. I'hou mayest advocate and endeavor to perfect this system, but it will re uire thy undivided effort. Don't, I pray thee, go aside to destroy the col eges. True, by their demolition no oriety might be thine, on the princi le that The aspiring fool that fired the Epheslan dome Outlives the pious man that raised~it," ut our colleges were not established o be kicked down by a donkey. I understand thy line of argument : ur college faculties comprise some of tie rarest qualities of head and heart, nd the most distinguished teaching bility in th.e State ; ergo, they should ease to exist : Our colleges furnish he most capable teachers found in our ommon schools ; ergo, they are worth lss: One of our denominational col ages imparted to thee thy grace of tyle and facility of expression (am I orrect ?); ergo, it should be abolish Forbear, thou'It hurt thy precious eels.

Maine is showi by the latest de spatches to have givei a few thousand more votes to the combined opprsition candidates than to the Radical candi date for Governor. The result doubt less shows the feeling of the voters of the State. The only safe thing to predicate on this result is that Blaine, if the candidate for President m-xt year, will not receive the vote of the State. He was the Republican party in the late election, except in so far as Hamiin and others secured for the party the support of their personal adherents. Mr. Blaine cannot carry his own State in 1880, and that opens to Republicans and people generally the interesting question as to what 1 Republican can carry it. I have long believed that Grant would be the Re publican candidate, but Grant can hardly succeed where all the Republi can party of the State has failed. Nevertheless, Grant has a chance, as an untried man in the present emer gency, which Blaine, as one tried and-A found wanting, has not. The Convention of the Democracy in New York to day will have impor tant work to do. If, as every good Democrat bopes, it shall make a nomi nation acceptable to the Democrats of the whole State, New York is as cer tain for the party as Kentucky. De spatches received here last night proax ised harmony at the poll, whatever the Convention might do. Secretary Sherman goes to Ohio again to speak on political subjetes. This may indicate a fear that the Radical ticket in that State is in dan ger, or Mr. Sherman's own fear that Messrs. Conkling and Blaine will, un. less be makes himself prominent in the near future,.occupy more of the public notice than he will. Having announ ced himself as a Presidential candidate it would not be like him to let any one forget the fact. Now and then a Cabinet officer drips into the city. Postmaster Gen eral Key did yesterday. He left again last night and will be in New England : for some time. The bad example* of Grant and his Ministers is having its effect, notwithstanding the early an nouncement of Mr. Hayes that he. would not follow it in absenting him- I self from the Capital. DEM. Foi Ta HaiAm. Our Famnily Reunion. (REV. M. M. BOYD'S.) MESSRS. EDITORS : 'Twas a joyous reunion at this dear family altar on the evening of the 2nd inst. -OSur 1 venerable father had the 'pleasure of seeing the family circle complete, with the exception of one brother, Geo:M., whose ministerial duties detained him at Yorkville. We missed him from the circle, and wished he were here. Merry hearts and voices made these dear old walls re-echo the music of other days. Fond memories were awakened as these loved forms and faces filled again their places at the fireside, the table and altar. Some of them had been absent for years. Oth ers have been privileged to come of. tener, but a full family reunion seldom occurs. Can yog. ten imagin~ -how c fully each heart enjoyed its pleasures? ? After the first evening, with its pleas-d ant exchange of news items, its music and late hours, familS w.rshipnd sweet repose, we found mIes rei freshed and ready to begin a oe'v<day b together.

Later in the afternoon 7e visited he quiet church yard where sIeep the ' oved forms of some whose faces we niss and whose places are vacant at d this dear hearthstone. A tear to their ? nemory, and a walk through the broad L isles of our nice new church, (which tands near the dear spot where loved ai nes sleep,) with a pleasant drive back* o the dear old home gave us time for ~ad and sweet refiections. .- Memories Pt leep and tender fill the heart as we re rospect the past.
