What the Governor of South Carolina
Said to a Rank President.
Unpleasant Wind Up of a
Saratoga Sojourn.
Frosress of the Fight for
Rapid Transit.
Alter Governor Scott laid down the gubernatorial
Mat over South Curollua ho took up his residence in
Coiumbiu, where also resided Hardy Solomon, con
spicuously known as Hie President of the South Caro
lina llank uud Trust Company. Between the two there
existed the most intimate relations. The ex-Governor
bad some bonds on band and on application ol Mr.
Bolomou kindly loaned iho same to bis l'ieuA, tbo
bonds thus loaned comprising "Columbia city bonds"
and "cousolidatcd bi n Is of Norib Carolina." The
bonds, it Is true, Were not at par value, but they
Served, as the result showed, as amplo security lor rais
ing motley. Governor Scott claims that ho loaned Mr.
Boiomon bonds of tho description specified to the
Value ol $33,600, with the understanding that tho same
Should bo returned within lorty days, that all
Of tho bouds wero returned, excepting tbo Columbia
city bonds, worth $1?J,000, and that Mr. Solomon bos
converted llio lain* to his own uso and rclusos to
?nuke good the amount. Tho two guntlcincn, with
their families, had been spending tho summer at
Saratoga, und ut a late hour one night, upon Mr. Solo
mou's arrival in this oily, he was slightly discom
forted upon Undiiig that an order ol arrest had been
issued against him, or rather two orders ol arrest?
one upon a charge ol cenversiou ol the bonds specified
and the other upon a uhurgo ol iioii pavnient ol $5,U00
tnouey loaned. The bail upon tile two orders was
fixed at $13,0(10, which was promptly lurnlshed, thus
saving Mr. Solomon the dlsagreeuhle necessity of any
Suilering through restriction ol bis personal
liberty. A motion was made yesterday, he
lore Jndgo liuriolt, In Supremo Court, Cham
bers, to vacate those orders of arrest. Mx
Judgo Vilhiuu, who uppcurcd on behalf ol Mr. Solo

Mr. William Brewster's annual crickot match yester
day was a great success. Tho attendance was very
largo, but the playing cricketers were short Tho lull

were short. Captain Banco woli managed the Knglisn

worthy of special notice. Mr. Moeran's 10 and 14 woro
well earned by good play. Tbo Americans played

ITS ANNIVERSARY TO BE CELEBRATED BY THE
WESTCHESTER HISTORICAL SOCIETY?MILI
TARY AND CIVIC DIHPLAY-?ORATION HIT HON.
CLAKKSON N. POTTER?WnEN, WHERE AND
HOW IT OCCURRED.
Tho Historical Society of Westchester county has
determined to lake special notice of ilio anniversary of
tho famous battle ol While Plains, fought during the
Revolutionary War. The occasion It to he honored by
a civic and military display and an address by Hon.
Clarkson N. l'ottcr. Tho story of tho battle, which
was noted as a crisis in the war, is about as follows:?
Roth armies wore near White I'lalna on tho morning
of tho S8th of October. The Americans were ehietly
behind their breastworks, near tho village, and the
British were upon tho hills below, eastward of the
Bronx. Chatterton's Hill, a commanding einincuco
on tho opposite side ol the stream, was occu
pied oil tho evening of the 27 th by Colonel
llaslet, with his Delaware's, soino Maryland
troops and militia?in all about 1,000 man.
Early the next morning McDougal was ordered to re
inlorce Haslet with a small corps sud two piccea of
artillery, under tho charge ol Captain Alexander Ham
ilton, and to take tho goneral command there. At ten
o'clock llie British army moved toward the village in
two columns?tho right commanded by (ioneral
Clinton, the li-lt bv I>o Heister ucd Sir William
Erskiue?lu all 13,000 strong. Howe was with tho
second division, and when near the village held a
couucil of war uu horseback, which resulted in a
change lu the point of attuck. Inclining to tho left the
British placed lHtcen or twenty pieces ol artillery upon
tho slope southeast ol the railway station, and, under
cover of their tiro, constructed a rude bridge over the
Bronx and attempted to cross urn' ascend the steep
wooded heights to dislodge the Americans from their
hastily-constructed breastworks upon Chatterton's
UilL Hamilton had placed lius two guns in battery ou
a rocky ledge, and these swept whole platoons irom
the margin ol the hill they were attempting to as
cend. Tho British recoiled, loll back to ibclr
artillery, and joined another division under Oonurul
Leslie (consisting ol Uiu Second British brigade, the
Hesslun gienudiers, under Coluucl Ball; a battalion of
Hessian infantry and dot) cavalry), who were then
crossiug the Bronx u quarter ol u mile below. There
tho itssuilunls joined, and tho whulo lorce pushed up
the slopes and ravines alwng tho southwestern declivi
ties ol Chattortou's Hill. Coining a gentlo slope
toward the top they endeavored to turn McDougal's
right tlnnlc. His udvanco, uuder Smallwood and Rit
zemu. gallunlly opposed tham while slowly retreating
toward the crown of the eminence, until the British
cavalry attacked the American militia ou the extreme
right and dispersed them. McDougal, with only (too
men, consisting chletly of bis own brigade uud
Haslet's corps, sustained uu obstinate conllicl
for an hour. Twice tho British light In
fantry and cavalry were repulsed, when an
attack upon bis Hank by liuil compelled McDougal to
give way und retreat to the lnlreucbinenis at While
Plains. This was nouo in good order uown tho south
eastern sido ol Glial tenon's Hill, and across the Bronx,
near the present railway station, under cover of tho
troops led by I'utnam. McDougal curried off" Ins
wouudod and artillery, anu left the victors in posses
sion of only the inconsiderable breastworks upou tho
hill. Tho militia, who were scattered umong the
Green burg Hills, soon collected in the intrenched
camp at iho village, and there the American urmy
rested almost undisturbed until the evoning ol tho
31si. The British troops rested upou their aruis all
night nfter tho battle, and the next day, alter a skir
mish with Clover's brigade, they encamped within
long cannon shot ol tho American lines. Awed
by tho apparent strength ol Washington's in
tronchments Howe dared not attack him, but
awaited the arrival of Lord Percy, with tour
battailous Irom Now York and two from
Muinuroneck. The loss of tho Americaus, Irom tho
2dth to the 29th did not exceed, probably, 300 inen In
killed, wounded aud prisoners; that of the British was
about the same. Carl Percy arrived ou the evening of
the 30th aud preparations wcro made to slorin tno
American works tbe next morning. A tempest of
wind und ruin arose ut midnight and continued for
twonty hours. All operations were delayed, and on
tho night ol the 31st, while tho storm clouds were
breaking und the liritish host were slumbering, Wash
ington withdrew and nncitmped upon the heights of
North Castle, toward tho Croton River, wnero ho bad
erected strong breastworks along the bills which loom
up 100 leet around tbe waters of tho Bronx, liowo
was ordered to attack him there, aud on tho night of
tho 4th ol November bo retreated toward tho Junction
ol tho Hudson und Harlem rlvors and encamped upon
the heights or Kordbam, extending his left wlug almost
to Kings bridge.

THE MAGGIE BAUER MURDER.
Frank McCouochle, the self-cODt*Bsed murderer of
little Maggie liauor, now in a cell at the Jamaica Town ?
Hall awaiting examination, is in a condition of aiijoet
terror and remorse, and his nervous system appears to
he in an almost complete slate of prostration. He
weeps when addressed and lukes very little lood, yes.
terday morning refusing everything offered him with
the exception ol a little coffee. The terrible crime
committed by him has evidently preyed beariiy upon
bis mind, and it is uotv regarded as a wonder that he
did not betray himself when under examination last
week before the Grund Jury. At that time, immedi
ately alter bis discharge Irom custody, lietcctivo
Payne took him Into his wagon and rode with linn a
considerable distuueo. Knowing the story that he had
told in the Jury room, Payne questioned bun closely
and succeeded in Involving him in a uuiuber of contra
dicltous, and subsequent iiivesllgutiuu proved that
almost lnu entire story was false The shirt with the
bloody sleeve, lound behind a bin in a lariner's barn
not^ lar Iroui the scene of Hie murder, where
McConocbie left It alter making a change,
has proved an important link in the chain
olcvidence. His story was that the blood cuinc Irom
sores or bruises on his arm aud there was u hole in it
which he said wus torn. While ho was at work at
Mr. I'. C. Itanium's place the shirt was returned to
him and be threw It into a dirty pieco ol waicr used ss
? goose pond. Pavue subsequently went lo tho place
and raked the garment out ol the mud nnu tiitb. look
it botno and subjected it lo a carelul examination by
means ol a powerful magnifying glass. He tbusas er
taineu conclusively that tlie bole In the sleeve was
made by a clean cut, as though with a sharp knife;
aud besides that the blood stains were all on the oui
sidc, proving at once that 'UieycoulJ not- havo bueu
caused by any inlury or sore on tho urm. When Mc
Conochie was subjected to a private examination at the
Jamaica Town Hail on Monday last, ho having been
arrested on (he previous Saluulay, lie betrayed such
evident nervousness that tho suspicion against htm
was greatly strengthened, lie repeatedly exclaimed in
a tremulous manner when closely questioned, "Oh, I'm
honest. I'm honest. 1 never harmed any body!"
And onco or twice, "What do you want
to breuk my neck for?" On Tuesday,
wben I'ayne took him to Foster's Meadow, altar he
had pointed out the spot wheru tho murder was com
mitted. he waa taken lo tho house ol Maggie's parents.
As they entered It happened that tho graudmothar of
the murdered girl was sharpening a kuile. Starting
buck aud trembling iu every limb McCouochle cried,
"What are you going to do? You re not going to kill
mo now, are you?" It was here that the dramatic
sceue between bint and Maggie's mother occurred.
The mother asked him what Maggie said before be
killed her. He said, "She cried 'mamma!' " Instantly
she sprang upon tho trembllug wretch and throttled
hlin so savagely that it was with dilllculty that l'u.vne
could loose her hold. And on tho return to Jamaica,
at the Valley station depot. It was only l'nyne's deter
mination, backed by a revolver, that saved McCouo
rhio from death at tho hands of tho excited crowd
which had gathered there. Tbo examination beloro
Justico Hoiinott on Moud.iy will be only lormal, and
tho prisoner will bo coiumittoil to tho County Jail to
awult tho action of the Grand Jury.
7Ac price of the Hhrald to-day and henceforth will be

THE BROCK MURDER TRIAL.
On Wednesday tho prosecution in the trial of Kyan
and Oschwald, for tbolr alleged murder of policeman
Brock, iu Newark, rested, and tbo defence oponed
with addresses by tho two counsol of tho prlsonors.
Yesterday the taking of evldonco lor tho delence was
begun. Mr. Herman Scblbach, a surveyor, testified
that the place wbcro the murder was committed and
the homo of Mr. Joseph Oschwald, futher of tbo
alleged murderer, also of tho latter, is dlstunt a mile
and a quarter, the design ol tbo defence being to
prove that Oschwald was at homo and In bed at tbo
time the murder took place. Mr. Oschwald, the
lather, who Is a highly rcspoctabln German citizen,
testified that on the morning Brock was murdered ho
saw bis son Cnarles, tho alleged murderer, wastiiug
himself in the kitchen basement; his brother Fred
was there also. Mtna Finter, a servant In the house,
corroborated this statement, she saw Cbaries, sho
alleged, uboul six o'clock in the morning with bis un
dershirt anil pants on, his shoes being In tbo hall; she
made the trod of the Oschwald brothers; It looked us
if two had slept in it; Frederick oschwald, the brother
of tho accused, lestilied that he drank beer with
Kyun and oschwald the night betoro tbo murder, and
went borne about eleven o'clock. Continuing, bo
said:?Between twelve and one Charles came home,
and when ho oponed the door ot the room wit
ness woke up, asked him what tlmo It was, and he
sutd hall-past twelve; witness told him to wind up his
watch. end ho told witness to wake him when he woke
up; when witness woke up he louud Charles iu bed
with him asleep; witness got up at six o'clock and
woke Charles; witness dressed aud went downstairs,
leaving Charles behind; when witness got down stairs
into the kitchen he board Charlos coming down.
MISSING MEN.
Tho efforts of the police to unravel the mystory at
tending the disappearance or Mr. Phillip Oilman, tho
Fulton Market butchor, have thus lar proved unsuc
cessful. The same ts true also In the case of Hernbard
1L Kelnhold, the Third avonae druggist, who disap
peared on the same night. Tho Irieuds of the former
yesterday had printed a largo number of postal cards,
on which was pasted a smuli likeness of Mr. Oilman,
and they otler a reward ol $2,001) lor Information that
will lead to bis discovery. The Irionds of Mr. Ketn
hold have adopted a similar course, dilfcring only in
the reward, which is placed at $250i
Tho police incline to the theory that both men are
together, as they were friends, un-t disappeared on the
same night; but the relatives of the niisslug men re
ject this theory, bolteviug that so tho mtsforluue has
buppeuod to them.
The search, liowevor, continues, and photographs of
tbo missing uieu have been sent to overy station
house.

Tho strength ol (ho greenback party la tho Presi
dential campaign :idJ tho cIToci it may hnvo on local
Issues uru subjects which have received very little se>
noun thought. Tho conlideuce expressed by its lead*
era and tho claims made by them to a large following
may prove interesting in certaiu quarters whore the
strength ol iho democratic and ropubl.can parties la
equally divided. A great deal ol boslue.s has been
transacted at the Fourteenth street headquarters, aud
also at Science Hall, on Eighth street. The vonerable
1'eter Cooper, to whom tho advocates ol the green*
buck movement point with pride, divides bis limo be
tween, tbo Clarendon Hotel nod No. 162 Broadway,
where be receives visitors lrom this and other States
to discuss the situation and map out tho remaining
work to bo dono. lu order to place belore the public
tho prospects of the greoubackers, ss estimated by
themselves, a reporter called upon Mr. John W.
Crump, who is earnestly interested In the move
ment and whoso name occupies u place on th*
Staio ticket Mr. Cruuip was lound In bit
olllce behind the hirgo transparency that covers tbs.
Trout ot tbo grcotiback headquarters on Fourteenth
siroot He was wading through u pile of newspapers
lrom all over tbo country, which brought with them
words of tiopo and encouragement for the success ol
the movement When spoken to of the prospects Mr.
Crump satd:?I havo becu twenty years In pollllos, and
it Is a subjoct 1 believe I understand thoroughly. Our
organization In the city and county is perfect, extend
lug us It docs Into evory Assembly district, and la
equalled throughout the entiro Stato. Wo havo an
aclivo executive eemmlttco in every county, and with
out exaggeration wo are in a most nourish
ing condition. .?< - The result of this elocilon,
aud especially lu this Slate, will be a
surprise to a groat many pooplo who only
srnilo and rldtoulo our strength. Why, ht, we have
parties couslautly writing to us from all quarters ask
ing to have our tickets sent to them and volunteering
to distribute them in our behalf. Tartlos of tour and
tlvo are dropping In and ottering their sorvloes gratis,
and youDg men who linvo benefited by the Cooper
Union are working industriously for our success. All
these things lead mo to the belief thut we will poll a
strong vote in tbo city and county of Now York. Our
County Convention, as you uro aware, has adjourupd
lor tho purpose ol lurther conterencc. Wo want to
select u ticket from no party, but to put in the Held
men who can command support on their merit. This
is the poor muu'e party, but we ?ro not hungry nor
avaricious. For our county olllcers we want
mon who are lu lavor ot neeuod public works and im
provements tbul will give
KM1M.OYMK.NT TO LABOB
and ronder no adequate ruturn. Wo advooate a fair
day's wages lur a lair day's work and less money ex
pended lor clerk hire. We calculate on a warm sup
port trom Insurauco and real estate men, who know, to
tbelr cost, what heavy taxes are, aud who llrmly bo>
liove In our movement.
1'itosrecTs in thk state.
In the State, too, wo hare every cause to feel en
couraged. Our correspondents ate cheeriul, and here,
yon soe (pointing to n pile ot newspapers), the press is
with us. our Congressional and Assembly tickets, as
well as the electoral, are completed throughout tbs
iStato outside of Now York county, and sro now being
distributed In great quantities. The 8tato tickot is not
yet In circulation. We are waiting the county nomina
tions boioro we print li, as the two must go together.
Hero it is, however, and, as you will seo. there are
some very strong men on It: ?
For Governor, Ulchard M. Grittln, nt Albany; for
I.lcutcnautGovernor, Thomas Armstrong, or Clinton;
lor Judge or Court oI Appeals, Marcus M. Oixon, of
Kockland; lor Canal Commissioner, Abraham J. Cud
dvback, of Grange; for Stato Prison Inspector, John
W. Crump, of New York.
The gentlemen whose names you will find on our
electoral ticket are such as to command recognition,
and you may rely on it thero aro more sympathizers
with this sort money movement In this Siato than
many suppose. They may laugh now; but the old say
ing is none tho less true that "bo laughs hesl alio
laughs last," and that's just what wo shall do. The
following is tbo list ot names on tho doctoral ticket:?
Pliny Freeman. J. H. Uodgklns, Kichard M. GnlUu,
Abraham J. Cuddcback, John F'recmun, William Hun
sun, Patrick Ford, Gouts Wineburgh. Harding Weston,
W. 8. Wool, John Cor win, William Pooler, 11. M. Mo
dins, James Morton, 8. D. Barnes. Albert Brisbane, G.
L. Hendorson, Gouts P. Uegg, Henry Chamberlain,
Joseph F. Taylor, John II. Hroderick, 1-eundcr Thomp

W. Dodge, William 8. Van Housen, W. H. Fullor, V. H.
Gage, Duoiel Kccte, John U, Matthews, George Clarke,
U. h. Morgan, A. Holcoinb, Philip 8uhneidor.
Speaking of tbo prospects ol the national campaign,
Mr. Crump said wo have uu doctoral ticket In the
Held In every State excepting Culiloruio, Nevada,
Oregon, Colorado, Florida, South i aroliuu, Gouisiana,
Mississippi, and Arkansas. 1 llnd in the extreme
West that the republicans lavor our ticket, and us we
come East tno great bulk of our voters are lound
amoug tho democrats. la the democratic Stales in
the West, where we see wo cannot win, wo join hands
witn the republicans, taking representation on tbo
electoral ticket In proportion to our estimated
alieugtb. Thero are a great many people who cannot
or will not understand the position ol tho greenback
party In tho West. There were local Issues in tne
recent elections which kept them lrom showing their
strength as they will do In November. In add'.tion to
this, I have totters and inlorination lrom other
channels which convince me the greenback party are
the musters ol the situatiou. Wo expect lo draw largely
from both |>arllus, but It is estlmuted about oigbly-llve
per cent will come lrom tbe democrats. It will sur
prise Mr. Tllden and his Irteuds when they sec. I have
attended Slate conventions of our party your afler year,
and thero 1 havo seen the same laces of old and well
known democrats. In September last a prominont re
publican mado Ills appearance among us. 1 only uieu
tlon these things to show you that tno men ol our
parly aru men of ttxed Ideas, and that time is gaining
strength lor us.
iircouiso wo do not expect to elect a majority ot the
electoral ticket, but wo believe wo ure strong
enough to keep both Mr. Tllden and Mr
Hayes lrom getting iu Wo aro greatly encouraged in
Illinois, ludiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Missouri,
Nobraska. Tennessee, Wost Virginia aud North Caro
lina, und feel sanguine ol sonding the choice for Presi
dent boioro the House of Representatives. I think the
Forty-fourtli Congross stands committed to soft money.
Such ineu as Fernando Wood and Sunset Cox aro in
favor ol it, and tbe House will bo bound to stand by
its record and support our candidates. Wo havo
worked very hard lu this campaign, and aro now tak
ing a resting spell, which will give us all the morn
strength ucxt month. Goncrnl Cary, nnvlng tulDllcd
all tho engagements which brought him East, has re
turned West, where ho will superintend the remaining
work of tho canvass thero.
TilK UKKKXRACK COUNTY TICKKT.
Speaking of the county ticket which the soft money
advocates would lavor, Mr. Crump said that would bo
Uolenniiicd. ul course, by the coiiterencn committee,
but be believed the great majority of tbe voters were
In favor of Smith Ely, Jr., tor Mayor. Tbat, however,
did uot inoan that they lavored any other Tammany
candidate. They intended to look nt the men only,
without any purly considerations, and ihoso whom
they thought the ilttcst would receive their sup|>ort.
What that support is worth, concluded Mr. Crump,
some men will loarn to their surprise when the eicctloo
Is over.
