AFTER THE BATTLiE.
Tho sinoko of the "fight*' on tho mil
road question hns cleared away, and we
are glad to think that much of tho bittorncRa
and fueling engendered hy it
lin vr? cnhciflnfl rPhn nlnptinn
"in a victory for the nrtvocak'8 of subscription.
So far as wo have boon able to
sot?, tho opponents to subscription have
accepted the result good nnturedly and
in good faith, and we rejoice that it is
bo. We believe that if the result had
boon different the friends of the road
would have acted in tho same spirit.
Lot us all then forget our differences
and work together now for the success
of the rail rond. It seems from intelligence
received that EdgeOold has gone
for subscription and that Aiken will do
?o. Thefore let General Hagood and
his Board of Directors proceed at once
and with energy to raise their money on
tho road and sot to work. Those, all
along the line, who have advocated the
voting of the 5 per cent., will demand
iL .a it. i. ? i i
nun mere ue no ueiay in using every cifovt
to complete the roud. They will
hol<l "the management" to a strict performance
of every duty incident to
heir positions. Those of us who have
home the brunt of this struggle will not
be behind those who have opposed us, in
requiring prompt and energetic action
?m the part of the officers of the road.
For ourselveg we have faith that these
will be used..
Our town has been much lorn with
.dissensions during this controversy.
As we had occnssion to say, once before,
some things have been said on both
aides, in the heat of debate and party spirit,
that might have been left unsaid. We
are sure everybody will join with us<
now in saying let such things be forgottttii.
We must bury all passion born of
gur of our zeal for either side of this
question and all of us pull together for
the interest of the community.
EXTRADITION.
Section 5278 of the United States lievised
Statutes reads thus :
Whenever the Executive authority ol
any State or Territory demands nny person
as a fugitivo from justice, of the Executive
authority of any State or Territory
to which the person has lied, and
produces a copy of an indictment found
or an affidavit made before a magistrate
of any State or Territory, charging the
person demanded with having committed
treason, felony or other crime, certified
to b eauthentic by tho Governor or chicl
Magistrate of the Stato or Territory
from whence the person so chargod haa
fled, it shall be the duty of tho Executive
authority of the Stute or Territory
to which such person hss iled to rausu
him to bo arrested &c, &c, ?fcc."
'JL'his Act was passed ja 1793 and in
tho particular to which we propose to
r?>rer directly, has not been amended.
The whole purpose and intent of the Act
was to assist and facilitate the separate
States in the punishment of crimes committed,
for which the criminal has fled
ibcyond the boundaries of the States
whore .the offence was coipmittcd. Poi-g
tho Act accomplish this purpose ?
Quite recently a requisition was issued
by the Governor of Georgia for a person,
who living in South Carolina, had defrauded
citizens of Georgia and fled to
Alabama. The Governor of Alalmtna
declined to honor the requisition because
the accused had not 4*lled" from
Georgia. Thereupon a requisition was
obtained from the Governor of South
Carolina. This also was refused by the
Governor of Alabama, because tho affidavit
upon which the requisition was
based, was signed in Georgia. In
answer to the query whether ho would
Jionor any requisition, the Governor of
Alabama saidjhe would not, because
of a defect in the law, in other words,
Jie held that the Act of 1793 does not
provide for cases in which persons in
one State commit crime in another and
Jlce to a third.
Now we believe this interpretation of
.the law to be wrong. Nevertheless
.such interpretation has served, and may
serve again to defeat the ends of justice,
.and we ask our Congressmen to see that
so serious a.defect in the law be remedied
at once.
THE CPNTENNARY.
AVe have receved the first number of
<ho Centennary, an eight page paper
published by Rev. K. W. Moore, of the
Methodist Conference, at Ivancaster, S.
C. The appearance of the paper is
very attractive. Its selections are tasteful.
and its original indlter marked by
;that wit, polish, grace and dignify of
- style for which Mr. Moore is known.
JIo writes with all the ease with which
lie speaks.
The ul)aMC principle* arc,
"A closer union of "the Slntes,
A closer union of th?? Churcjiea,
A closer union of the nations."
With these principles and Mr. Moore
at the helm there can be no good cause
for failure.
BURIED.
We have buried our tomahawk and
quit the war path, and wo devoutly hope
wo will not soon be called upon to resurrect
it. We are a very mild mannered
and peaceably disposed man, and only
"fight" when some man "steps on the
4ail of me coat." We don't want any
? more scalps, therefore we hope our
frrethern of the press will let us dwell
in harmony with them "and the rest of
mankind."
THE COMjECTORSHIP.
f
The fight over the Collectorship of r
the Fort of Charleston has gone from 1
had to worse, till excitement and feeling
have reached such a pitch thut it is bo- K
lieved the appointment of either Mr. ?
Mowry or Captain Wnlker will product'a
split in the party in Charleston. J
Under these circumstances it. is the part ^
of wisdom to take some other man.
And who deserves more at the hands of 1
the Democratic parly than does Gen'l. i
John I). Kennedy ? Since 1S76 in ev- (
cry campaign he has gone; to nlmost ev- (
ery county in tho State, and devoted his :j
time, his talents, and his means to the
Democratic cause. As Chairman of the c
State Dem. Kx. Committee, ho labored \
incessantly for the party. In J88-, t
when the Governorship, a pri/.o to r
which any man may honorably aspire, ^
was almost in his $;rasp, and was snatched
from him, he did not sulk in his tent, J
but taking the field worked with his <
old time energy for the election of his j
successful opponent. Nor has any man
ever heard him utter a wort! of reproach '
or repining. He has always borne him- >
self with dignity. Sr.ch a man is pos- 1
sess. jf high patriotism, and deserves j
recognition of his services at (he hands ,
of his parly. The President could do I
no more gracious act than appoint Jno. 1
1). Kennedy to bo Collector of (lie Port.
CLEAR THE WAY! I
For the Cumberland (lap Railway.
Due West, Abbeville, Troy, all the '
Edgefield Townships and Trenton and j
Pickens have voted tho subscription. \
If upon this the "management" can't I
predicate a loan for (he immediate com- '
mencement of work, we shall say "clear j
the way" Cor other and more progres- (
nive men. We are in earnest, we want I
this road, we believe the basis has been
laid by voting the subscription, for its j
completion, and we will not easily be ,
satisfied with anything save work. <
Those in charge of this enterprise must
move and that promptly?the demand is J
. unanimous?or else give place to others. |
Those who don't like these conditions i
can quit now. This people mean busi- |
ness.
LITEttAltY CLUB. ^ i
i
The Literary Club met at the residence
of Mr. Bonham on Friday night. I
Mr. J. W. Thomson read a most enter- 1
taining and instructive essay on "Our (
Civil Service.'' The discussion was ,
equally divided upon whether it is right
that *'to the victors belong the spoils"
or whether the tenure of ofiice holders |
should depend wholy upon their ]
efficiency, t
L Mr. Titos. P. Cothran is the next es- j
sayist and his subject is Judaism.
MISS JULIA JACKSON.
I
i On yesterday Miss .Julia Jackson, the ,
only child of Stonewall Jackson, was
married to Mr. Win. Christian, a 1
1 wealthy banker of Richmond, Va. The !
whole South will send her messages of |
love and connrululntion for the sake of '
the (load licro whose name she bears. 1

We give up our outside this week to t
Mr. Dawson's defense of his action in
the Morgan matter. As we said last J
week the explanation does not satisfy us j
that the appointment should have been i
made. Hut in justice to Mr. Hawson we 1
print it for the benefit of those of.our f
readers who do not take the Jfcwx and (
Courier. ?
{ 'ince the election the people of tho 1
town have settled down to quiet and J
peace. Men who were bitter before j
tho election now discuss lh<> result with f
good humor and fun. \Vo aro very '
much gratified to see this spirit, it shows y
that our people rise above petty feelings. 4
Wo have no disposition to crow over i
those who opposed u<. 1

We deoline to enter into a controver- j
sy with the editor of the Church

things to his combative houI. We simp- 1
ly protest against his effort to hold us y
up to his people as opponents of his f
Church. Those who know us know
that this is not true. That so fnr from *
entertaining any hostility to that church j
wo hold it in high respect and admira- t

10011 to-day the station policeman at
ihc Wnhnsli, St. Louis and l\.eific il
in Polk street received the following
lispatch.
"Ciirxoa, Ii.i... May 31.? I have an
insane man on my train who has possession
of one car. The police at Kmsas
City, Jacksonville ami lV-uia wore all
lfraid to take him. I'lense send ten or

"No. 6,'' which loft Kansn.s City last
night, was duo at'2.50 1'. M. There wns
ilifliculty in starting out No. 1, as directed
in the dispatch, and it was decided
fo meet the train at the depot, eight
sfticers, Casey, Kynn, Murphy, Rowan,

Keenaii, in uniform, and Smith Terry,
Amstein, O'Brian and Laughliu, in ciiisons'
clothes. under command of l.ieut.

at the depot ten minutes before the
train was due. After considerable anxious
speculation as to the condition of
things on hoard No. 0, the officers were
finally anything but reassured by a dispatch
from a suburban station warning
them llinl the maniac was well armed
uid would resist desperately.
A little later No. G came in sight, and
the police separating so as to form two
jqunds, awaited her arrival on either
fide of the track. As the train approached
the whistle sounding a number
of warnings in quick succession,
people hanging half-way out of the car
windows were seen to gesticulate wildI

:oine fo a standstill a dozen passengers
lumped to Hut ground and lied, looking
behind with blanched faces.
Officer Barrett was the first to observe
'.he lunatic. Barrett was standing near
he rear end of the smoking ?-ar. The
uadinan with levelled revolver, glared
it him from tho front platform of the
:hair car. the lutijrht of one car distant.
Barrett turned half round and slopped
nstantly, but too late; a ball from the
unatic's revolver struck him in the
;ide, and in five minutes be was dead.
Jne look at the maniac was enough to
satisfy any one that while bis atmnuniion
lasted he would not be taken alive.
Seeing this, the officers, after removing
heir wounded comrade, began a fusiadc
through tb?? windows of the smok
ng car. where tho madman had taken
efuge. After a minute or two he rushid
out on the platform, fired a couple of
shots into the crowd, leaped from the
rain and dashed down Fourth Avenue.
Ifficer Laughlin started in hot pursuit,
md tho lunatic fired the last shot in his
iveapon at him, but without effect. The
naninc slopped then and nwaited Laugh*
ill's coining with glenmin geycs and
rothing mouth. They clinched, the oficer
tripped his prison of* and they both
ell, the madman meanwhile beating
Lnughln unmercifully on the head with
villi his revolver. The officer was in
:iti/.en's clothes and was set upon and
erribly pounded by an excited colored
nan, who mistook the officer for the
prisoner. The rest of the squad arrived
iliorlly and the maniac was secured,
akcn first to a cell and then to a hospital
to have his wounds dressed..
When he realized that further resistince
was useless the prisoner grew calm
ind said quite rationally that bis name
vas Louis lletime, that he was 33 years

JEFFERSON DAVIS TALKS

on a recent trip South, visited Jefferson ^
Davis, with whom ho has had a long and flll
intimate acquaintance. Tho 8tar this j.?i
evening publishes an interview with l)r. <n.
Garnet, in which the views of the ex- (>l
Confederate President are given upon j'^|
the political situation and other matters. s;?
Dr. Garnet says : as
"In tho course of our conversation

political condition of the country by
saying that he knew nothing of the pros- ||V

lie seemed satisfied with the mombersof I)(,
the Cabinet selected from the bouth, but c?>i
was not disposed, I thought, to entertain
a very hopeful view of our future, as he J'*1,
said that the respect, love and duty for
the Constitution which animated the tin
citizens of the United States before '
the war had very much now departed
from our people, and that the system of Vl(
govern men t erected by our forefathers 0ft
existed only in name ; that there were op
elements of disintegration and disrup- hn
tion at work in our midst which could
only be restrained and held in check by
force : that under it the fundamental principles

Rotten by old men and never learned by ^Cl
the young ; that under tbe ruin of lie\iublio.nnism
during the war, and subsc- pj
quent to it. tbe Constitution was made tli
of a rope of sand, and that whilst this wj
party of so-called liberal ideas was pro- J\'(
claimiiigunivorsal freedom and aquali- jjj,
ty on tin' one hand, they were tearing On
dou'n iml blotting out tiic very safeguards
and defenses which alone under K?
our form of government could secure it "
to them." sn
Speaking of Commodore Bullock's fa
book, which discloses the secret history ?'f
of the Confederate agents in Kugland
during the war for procuring ships, the
Doctor continued after a pause : tit
"Mr. Davis exhibited much fooling at (<?
what he characterized the duplicity ami
meanness of the English Government
in its conduct toward the South ; and j?
whilst that government wouid permit ri<
the United States to purchase and lake J'"
?wuy as many snips as it desired, then?
was always some pretext found to pro- ar
vent tho sailing v?f tlio.se vessels purchased
by any agent <>r citizen of the
Confederacy, although such ships were
entirely unarmed. 0f
"1 asked him if it was true that he 11
had authorized any petition to be pre- d?
sentcd to (he federal authorities to have ^
his disabilities removed, lie replied 1U1
very emphatically in the negative, and th
added that he had writ leu an open letter Si
to the author of that petition calling his Rr
attention to the fact. He said that he | "j
