They decided, therefore, to deny the motion for a rehearing, and on Mon day morning Judge Cartter.will deliver the decision of the court.

This strike obstructs \ production iu the lines affected some- j where between 33 and 40 per cent. A j1 few steel works will continue, and a few iron works eogaged in the production of i specialties; but the iron manufacturers believe that these concessions will not! j affect the strike. They prefer this con- j cession to be made now than later on, ! when the action would be construed more unfavorably by the workmen, and help to prolong the idleness. The de mand for steel has been and is very great, and the steel works have a com paratively limited number of puddling, furnaces; hence the action of the steel makers is not significant.?Bradstrects June 3. ????? THE CONTESTED" ELECTION CASES. Mackey has at last obtained a seat in the Bouse of Representatives. In spite of the forgery and falsehood of his testi mony and the earnet protest of every democratic member against the perpe tration of the outrage, and in the face of the indignation of every honest man who knows the facts iu the ease, he was declared elected?the Representative of the First Congressional District of South Carolina?giving another vote to the Republican majority and weaken ing the Democratic side by a loss of one man. This is another example of the utter indifference of this party to the demands of justice and honesty when j measures are to be enacted, or when mere strength of numbers enables them to obtain an advantage. Had an inves tigation been made of the charges of forgery and fraud which had been brought- against Mr. Mackey in the compilation of the. testimony upon which he based - his claim and which was proven by the statement of his ulerk, Mr. Smith, there would have been some semblance of honest dealing in the matter, but it seems that in this :ase the Republicans did not care even to be thought above corruption, and ifter a 'cut and dried' report from the Committee, ignored every appeal for an investigation, and, by means of the most, arbitrary and unprecedented rulings on the part of the Speaker, they silenced the Democrats and elected Mackey. And yef this is the party that pro esses to discountenance fraud and force in Southern elections; that holds 'a free rote and fair count' to be the very foun dation of a free Republican govern ment; that has recently spent thou sands of dollars from the public Treasu ry to convict supposed violators of election laws, ft is passing strange that seemingly patriotic men?those who profess to have their country's good tt heart?will attempt to aid the con sonance in power of this party, and issist in its endeavor to regain its posi tion in South Carolioa by creating dis satisfaction in the Democratic ranks ind weakening its strength by so-called Independent movements. It is a no ticeable feature that Greenbackers and representatives of other irregular par ses invariably affiliate with the Repub licans. It is so in Congre^during Jhe_. igitation of thtr*""Contested "Election 3ases. uEcTit is so inch's State. Inde 5endeirts may expejet to succeed in ob ainiug control of the State government ind expect to maintain themselves in >ower after this is done, but at best | hey can only create a division in the j Democracy and help the Republican j >arty in their efforts to rule in the yranntcal way they once did. THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK. A financial.crisis in the near future s being predicted at the North by men who are said to be of a reflective busi ness character. This idea is based upon t he fact that our exports of gold is assum ng enormous propoitions. and that of >ther commodities is growing less. Mr. Bookwalter, a prominent financier, com uentisg upon the situation, says, after illuding to the unexampled crops from L875 to 1880, the booming of stock, in Jation of prices, the demands of bread stuffs in Europe, &c: 'Formerly we sent wheat. If we were sending ?4,700,000 in wheat in stead of gold it would take two of the largest vessels a whole year to carry it, ind give employment to our rail roads to carry it to the sea-board. Forty Vanderbilts cannot sustain the prices of stocks in the face of natural causes. The failure of Vanderbilt to sustain Lake Shore demonstrated this j beyond a doubt. American railroad j securities received a hard blow when I Lake Shore tumbled eighteen points ia | i week. A year ago the iron manufac- i turers announced that they were crowd-1 ?d with orders for six months ahead. J For a year I have been buying iron for j my works by the month, and shall con- j iinue to do so. Railroad building has ilmost ceased, and as a consequence one )f the best and largest markets for iron . applies has closed. In the last six uonths large supplies of iron in ail grades have been accumulated at the 'urnaccs and mills because it cannot ind a market * 'In addition to buying our grain, Europe invested in our stocks, which promised such rich returns. The iron business responded to the railroad de velopment ; the farmer not only paid bis ocbts with his wonderful crops, but he began to buy luxuries. This is the boom, and business swept onward in one j Errand tide, unmindful and ignorant of; the fact that it could only be sustained while the causes existed. Now, only Due cause has failed to o*perate, and we are already suffering. Europe has ceased to buy our graiu because they don't need it, and because it is too high priced. What is the result? There is no transportation, and the railroads are oot earning dividends. Stocks are down and the rates of iuterest are up. Men have already ceased to handle money to do business, because there is no Ion- j ger a sure profit, and because it is not j safe to proceed on a money market with j increasing rates. How can a big crop j bring prosperity unless we can find a j market ? Europe has already learned to j buy cheaper grains in other markets, j Her prospects for a good crop are as bright as ours. Who, then, is going to buy our grain V The Wilmiogton Star, referring to j this subject says: Already the balance of trade is beav- j iiy against the United States Instead of bringing in gold we are sending it out j and in large quantities. All hope- j ful and buoyant as long as we sold i Europe more than we bought in return. ! But all this is changed, aud as Mr. Beokwalter shows there is distress. Al ready $30,000,000 of gold has been shipped to Europe. In one day, ?4, 700,000 went out from New York. A cloud is gathering. There will be a storm after awhile. Wise ma riners will take in sail and prepare for what is coming. Americans live too fast and are too easily affected by cir cumstances. If our imports continue to exceed our exports the calamity looked for will be sure to come. Bradstreefs of June 3d, says: Very little improvement has been noted in the outflow of produce during the week, the export clearances from the port of New York having reached an aggregate valuation of only ?5,259, 468, against ?4,942.700 the preceding week, and comparing with a total of ?8,317,641 same week last year, and ?8,042,822 same week in 1880, mak ing the grand total since January 1, 1882. ?128,559,993, against ?155, 643,854 same period in 1881, and ?150,731.324 in the corresponding portion of 1880, thus indicating a loss on the outward movement thus far in 1882 of ?27,083,861, as compared with the aggregate of last year, to date. "MIGHT MAKES BIGHT." Republican Theory Carried Out in the Dibble Case. ("Special Dispatch to the News and Courier ] Washington, May 29?On the as sembling of the House at 11 o'clock, when Mr. Reed called up his amend-, ment to the rules, the Democrats made two or three dilatory motions. A vote was bad on the first and a quorum developed juSt 147 votes, Hardenberg and Fulkerson voting. Pendiug a vote on the second Democratic motion, Reed made the point of order to the effect that dilatory motions were, out of order on making a rule, and the Democratic side demanded time to debate it. Mr. Reed offered half an hour to each side. Mr. Randall objected to binding the Demo crats to a special time, although no un necessary delay was desired. After discussion Mr. Randall left it to the speaker to decide, and he, at the sug gestion of Mr. Reed, said he would not cut off debate until each side had at least an hour for debate. Mr. Reed spoke in support of his point of order; aud Mr. Randall against it, Mr. Mas sou spoke in favor, Mr. Crrlislo against, Mr. Haskell in favor, Mr. Blackburn agaiust, Mr. Robeson in favor, Messrs. Cox, Hooker and McLane against it. Several other RepublicRns were to speak, but after Mr. Carlisle's magni ficent argument and Mr. Cox's over whelming reply to Mr. Robesou they did not attempt to justify their position, but stolidy relied on the Speaker's par tisanship aud obedience to Mr. Robeson Mr. McLane spoke aud Mr. Hazelton followed him in support of Reed's point, tuveighing against ex-rebels and accus ing the Democrats of striking on all occasions possible at the heart of the Government. Mr Reagan spoke against the Repub- j lican position. Mr. Robinson,'of Massachusetts-, sup- J ported Mr.' Reed, hinting bitterly that j fifty members beld_ seat* by the false j affidavits of Governors of States. He i made the strongest presentation of the ! Republican side yet heard. Mr. Randall spoke a few minutes, { quoting a decision of Speaker Keifer in j this Congress directly antagonistic to Mr. Reed's point. Speaker Keifer refused to let the Democrats close the debate although they were attacked, but let Mr. Reed finish with an insolent speeeh. Speaker Keifer at 4.10 P. M. began reading his ready made ruling, and great attention was at first paid to this piece of Robeson's work. The galleries were crowded and the House full. t it was haltingly read because the Speaker was unfamiliar with Mr. Robeson's handwriting. After the first words were spoken it was received indifferent ly and contemptuously by the Demo crats. Mr. Randall said: From that ruling just announced I appeal to the House, whose officer you are. Mr. Reed: I move to lay that mo tion on the table After great confusion for a minute the roll began. The vote on the mo tion to lay ^the appeal on the table j showed 150 yeas, uo nays. No Demo crats voting. Three more than a quorum. On the announcement of the vote Mr. Cox arose to a question of privilege, ! and, as part of his remarks had read a j paper signed by one hundred Democrats j protesting, after a preamble explaining the case, against the conduct of the majority aud their Speaker as unjustifi able, arbitrary and revolutionary. The Republicans fought against its being read, but Speaker Kiefer after his collossal injustice allowed this small boon to the minority. There was a small sensation on the Republican side, but not uproar. Mr. Cox asked that the protest be made part of the record. Mr. Kasson opposed it. Speaker Kiefer allowed it to go into tho record, and members who had not yet signed it were given leave to append their names this evening. N. G. G. A Solid Southern Democracy. The Residt of Republican Inquiry Into j the Alleged Disaffection Among the j Bourbons. New York, May 29.?The Times J prints fifty answers to the following j questions addressed to one hundred editors of Democratic newspapers at County seats iu Alabama, Arkansas, J Florida, Georgia, Louisana, Mississippi, j North Carolina, South Carolina and i Texas: 1st. Is the policy of the Democratic party managers iu harmony with the geueral sentiment of the people of your district? If that policy excites any dis satisfaction, is it chiefly directed against the principles or the persons j sustained by the party leaders ? 2d. How do your people regard the administration of President Ar thur? 3d. Is there in your neighborhood any decided expression of opinion iu regard to tho tariff? If so, what is its extent and uature ? The Times summarizes the answers to the first question as follows; That the South is still solid iu its affiliation with the Democratic party may be laid down as made' absolutely certain by these observations. The masses still look to the Democracy as upholding their best interest, material and politi- j cal. On all national issues the people ! are a unite. Perhaps one-fourth of the j letter speak of dissatisfaction with the methois of the leaders but the witers I are careful to State thai the people are in full harmony with party principles and will forget.all local differences in de fending tbetn Only in two responses to the first clause of the question is the answer made 'not entirely so' Local issues in two or three States, legislation not entirely satisfactory to the whole of the party as, for example, the stock law in South Carolina and the prohibition law in North Carolina, have divided the party, but this division is a State matter and would be lost sight of in con sideration . of national i#sues. They oppose the Republicans as seeking alli ance with the colored man and putting him in power over them. They assert that the ignorance of that race unfits it for control and its supremacy would annihilate all hope of prosperity. Of replies to the second question the Times says : In all the letters referen ces to thehopes of the South from Gar field's administration seem like a wail. The people, however, trusted that Pres ident Arthur would carry out the pol icy of his predecessor; but disappoint ment has followed, and more than half the letters speak of him as a narrow partisan seeking ouly the interests of his party?as one from whom nothing beneficial to the South can come. The appointments to office in the South as a rule are a great source of dissatisfaction and are regarded as showing that Ar thur is not friendly disposed From the three States of Mississippi, Louisiana and Arkansas only come expressions of praise, and these are almost entirely due to the Mississippi levee proclamation, and even these generally are mingled with words of distrust.' Answers to the third question show that with one or two exceptions little discussion of the tariff is reported among the people. Many writers say that the question is not understood among the masses; one that they have no conception of what 'tariff' means. The truth appears to be that they are too busy to take any interest in the matter, and, being chiefly agricultural ists, the subject naturally attracts much less attention than in other sections of of the country. About thirty letters say that where there is any discussion at all the feeling is iu favor of a tariff for revenue only and such incidental j protection as would naturally follow. A MIDNIGHT TRAGEDY. A Negro Eavisher Lynched in Fair field County. [Special Dispatch to the Sunday News.J Winnsboro', June 2.?One of the most fiendish outrages ever committed in Faiifield County has been terribly avenged.' Oa Wednesday afternoon, May 24th, an outrageous assault was committed upon the person of Mrs. Martha Rains, the wife of Mr. James A. Rains, j near Blythewood, in this county. The circumstances attending the assault have been : detailed, and are briefly these ; About sundown on Wednesday evening Mrs. Rains went to the springy, near her house to get a bucketjof..water". Afjter_sh.e had filed her/bucket and was about returrnng-ro^fhe house, Caleb Campbell, a colored man, approached her, threw bis arms about her neck, and dashed her, to the ground. Mrs. Rains resisted, cried for help, and after struggling on the ground for five or ten minutes, the negro left without ac complishing his villanous purpose, being frightened away by sounds of an ap proaching wagon. As soon as the news of the assault was known in the community a number of persons were arrested and brought before Mrs. Rains for identification. When Caleb Campbell was brought before her he was instantly identified as the person committing-the assault. He was taken before Trial Justice D. Hogan on last Monday, and after a pre limiminary examination was regulary committed to jail for trial at the next Court of Sessions for this county, which will be convened on next Monday. The publie were greatly incensed at the outrage and many threats of Iynch iog were made. In order to prevent a resort to popu lar violence Campbell was brought' to Winnsboro on the train on Monday night, iu charge of a special constable, and safely lodged in . jail. Last night between 12 and 1 o'clock, a party of about eighty men rode into Winnsboro' and going to the jail told the sheriff they had a prisoner for him. ' Not suspecting that anything was wrong the sheriff open ed the door when he was seized by seve ral men and roughly thrown to the floor. On trying to summon help a saddle cloth was thrown over his head to pre vent any outcry. In spite of the sheriff's protests and resistance his pockets were searched and the key secured to the door leading to the third story of the building' where the cells are situated. A number of the men went up stairs and examined.the cells asking at each ceil who occupied it. They forced open the ceil in which Campbell was confined. As soon as be was led out into the corridor a pair of iron handcuffs was promptly clasped around his wrists and he was taken out of jail into the street and mounted on a mule, in front of one of the vigilance com mittee. A tope was placed around Campbell's neck, and with one end in the hands of meu who rode on either side of the doomed man the night-riders left town in a gallop^ riding at full speed down the Columbia road to a point about three miles below Winnsboro'. There the mule on which the prisoner was mounted was ridden under a large post oak tree, and the rope arond his neck was thrown over a convenient limb and secured to a pine tree standing wirhiu a few feet. The mule was then led out and Caleb was left hanging between heaven and earth. The men who did the work rode away quietly, aud when the sheriff reached the place of execution, only a short timo after the deed was done, there was nothing to be seen but Caleb Campbell's body blightly swaying iu the cool ni;;ht air, stone dead. When the .sheriff reached Campbell he found a small placard pinned to his clothing containiog the following words: 'Our mothers, wives and sisters shall be protected, even with our lives.' The friends of the victim made no demand for the body, which was burried in a county coffin just under the limb upon which he paid the penalty for his awful criu-c. Campbell was a stout negro about twenty-two years old aud bore a bad character, having once committed an outrage ou a young negro woman aud being suspe nd of a villainous assault on another white lady. Although the j more conservative portion of the commu bity regret the resort to popular violence, | still no one doubts that Campbell fully 1 merited the justice which has beeo measured out to him. There is no doubt that he committed the assault on Mrs. Rains. The evidence against him was overwhelming and conclusive. To add to the enormity of his crime, when the assault was committed on Mrs. Rains she was about four months advanced in pregnancy. The terrible struggle with her assailant has resulted in a pre mature birth, and I understand this evening that the lady is in a critical condition. J. C. H. The Chester and Camden Railroad. The corporators of the (-bester and Camden Railroad Company and their associates met this morning at the law office of Judge Maokey in Chester, and organized by electing Major Julius Mills President, and J.
