A Uoid Declai a J ion for Protection.
.New York Picayune.
A point has now been reached in the
tariff legislation of the country when the
true friends of Louisiana must take the
ground of protection j;er se, absolutely,
unqualifiedly. That is the situation as
we now view it. The sugar industry lias
struggle'! against tremendous disadvan
tages. Our state and our city are liter
ally bound up in it, and cannot hope to
prosper unless it prospers. This is flu
sh nation which the true friends of Lou
isiana we are appearing to those outside
of our borders are now called upon to
study. The time has come for the repre
sentatives of Louisiana to put the s-ugar
interest on protection ground, to appeal
for support on protec tion ground, and.
when the issues are joined iu congress,
to ally themselves with other protected,
interests.
fjord Ijytt oil's Love IjcUors.
For the purpose of defending the mem
ory of Lady Lytton against the state
ments made in the "Life and Literary
Remains of Lord Lytton," recently pub
lished, the friends of that lady are issu
ing selections from her autobiography,
which show that Bulwer only obtained
the consent of Lady Lytton, then Rosina
Wheeler, to marry him, under passionate
appeals. Bulwer told her that without
her all his schemes for worldly success
and future happiness were destroyed.
Rosina broke off the engagement three
times and on each occasion was induced
to renew it under the vehement persua
sion of Bulwer, who writes to her in this
strain:
'31y adored Rose.'where shall I find
words to express my love for you? Could
I tell you at the moment when I was
leaning on your bosom the fate once pre
dicted of me? Again, at this moment,
tears are in my eyes. My heart beats
audibly. I stop to kiss the paper conse
crated by your hand. Can those signs of
love ever le turned to hatred?"
The letters an; full of such gush as this
and completely exhauts the vocabulary
of amatory expressions. They show with
fresh emphasis Bulwer's excessive self
consciousness and intense egotism.
Wayne MeYeagh on Negative Presi
dents. The only real danger lies in the possi
bility of each party presenting a candi
date who has never been bad enough to
provoke active hostility anil never good
enough to olfend "the baser sort" of his
own party, and who, if elected, would
form an administration of discordant ele
ment and "unrelated parts." going jxssi
bly to the bench for one cabiuent minis
ter and to the lobby for another and se
lecting the rest at haphazard, or for rea
sons of locality, or because they were out
of a place or because they desired to show
the country they were "not so black as
thev were painted." or for some such
t reason."
Until such a misfortune actually hap-
1-cns. however, we will hope that one
j paijty or the other, if not both, will offer
a candidate whose olities are positive.
I not negative, and who is really tit to be
: the president of fifty , millions of free
men: a man and not a name only, a
statesman and not a politician only, of
j greatness of mind, an ardent lover of his
i country and her free institutions, resolute
i to defend the right and assail the wrong
, and without spot or stain in his eonnee-
tion with iolities or suspicion of any
; isiich tiling. Each partv possesses manv
I men answering these reqturements and it
i is very likelv that one party or the other
j will ask the suti'rages of the people for
j such a man. Possibly the good fortune
j awaits us of witnessing a contest for the
presidency in which both candidates will
i bo strong, pure, brave men. willing and
able to do the good work which is wait
ing to Ix? done, and which only such a
president can do.

Till CHASM OF CASH,
The Father Captured and the Son iu
the Swamp.
Chief State Constable Richburg, with
twelve picked men armed with improved,
SI tarns" rifles, left Columbia at midnight
last night and arrived at Florence at 3 :."(
a. m., where they were met by Sheriff j
Cole, of Darlington county, Sheriff Spoff- j
ord, of Chesterfield count-, still being
sick." The party took another special f
train from Florence and reached a point
a mile below Cash's house just before
daylight. The house was at once quietly
surrounded, and the posse waited for
daylight. Aliout 6 o'clock the elder Cask
appeared at the front door. When he
espied the pickets about the house he re
tired within. In alnrnt five minutet he
reappeared, armed with a Winchester
repeating rifle and two pistols, and tried
to make his escaie. He had not procee
ded more than a hundred yards from his
house In-fore he was confronted by John
II. Pearson, one of the sentinels, who
presented his rifle and demanded Cash's
surrender. Cash hesitated, when Fear
son said- "Drop your gun or I'll shoot
you in two seconds." Cash dropped his
gun quickly and admitted having been
taken completely by surprise.
When captured he was endeavoring to
make his way to a log-house across the
railroad track when; young Cash was
said to be sleeping. The posse then
closed in and searched the Cash mansion
thoroughly, but could find nothing of
Bogan Cash. A party then started for
the log-house. When they were half
way there, Col. Cash, evidently becoming
alarmed for his son's safety, made a
proposition to go to the log-house alone,
and if allowed to do so, pledged his sa
cred honor that he would have his: son
surrender within two hours. This propo
sition wus acceded to and the force was
recalled.
Cash went and soon returned, saying
that his son had left the house an hour
before, and that he did not know where
he had gone, lie offered, however, that
if the posse ould withdraw, that ids
son would surrender before Wednesday,
lie frankly stated that he only wanted
"to come off w itli hying colors." That
neither he nor his son desired to Le
considered outlaws, but that he desired
to effect a capitulation on his own terms.
Bearing in mind the instruction of
Gov. Thompson that Cash should be cap
tured before ho had a chance to surren
der, Chief State Constat le Richburg de
clined these terms. Cash then made
other propositions, and linally offered to
let Richbourg go with him to hunt his
son, promising that he would surrender
within twenty-four hours if the posse
were dispersed. This was taken as an
evidence of weakening, and was promp
tly declined by Richburg.
The premises were then surrounded
a guard, with instructions to allow no
one to pass in or out of the picket line.
Cash's pistols and rifle were taken from
him. He protested bitterly against this,
but said that he yielded only to superior
numbers.
Capt. Richbourg, being determined to
let nothing prevent the most thorough
search for young Cash, left most of his
men at the house, and at 1) o'clock this
morning proceeded to Cheraw to sum
mon a larger posse of horsemen, with
which to enter the swamp and track the
fugitive to his hiding place. He is sup
H)sed to be near Cash's depot, on an is
land near the "Peedee" Swamp.
Arriving at Cheraw at 10 o'clock Capt.
Richlxiurg called on the intendent and
the authorities for the force he desired,
say some fifty men. Capt. Richbourg
will make no treaty with the Cashes.
Up to 10 p. m. to-night the posse in
search of W. B. CashJJhad not succeeded
in effecting his capture. He is still sup
posed to be hiding In the Pedee swamp.
Col. E. B. C. Cash, the father of the out
law, is now en route to Columbia under
the escort of an armed guard. He will
arrive earlv to-morrow morninfr.
iviupi)'s Fifty-ton Hammer.
American Register, I'aris.
The rifty-ton hammer with which
Krupp belabors his lare steel block Wars
the name "Our Fritz." Its stroke on the
100-ton avail, although the latter rests on
a chalwote of upwards of 100 square feet
in size, and is surrounded by water,
causes a deafendin noise and a concus
sion resembling an earthquake. The
hammer hears the inscription: Fritz,
let tly." This inscription has the follow
ing history: When in 1S77, the Emperor
William visited the works at Essen, this
steam-hammer attracted lus attention.
Alfred Krupp, the father of the present
head of the firm, presented to the Eui
Xeror the machinist. Fritz, who, he said,
handled the hammer with such nicity
and precision as not to injure or even
touch an object placed in the centre of

cated. and beckoned to the macliinist to
set the liammer in motion. Master Fritz
hesitated out of consideration for the
lrecious article, but the 'old gentleman
Kruxj" urged lum on by saying: '-Fritz,
let by." Down came the hammer, and
the watched remained untouched. The
Lmxieror gave it to the machinist as a sou
venir, old" Krupp added 1,000 marks to
the handsome iresent, and caused the
above words to be inscribed n the hm

Young folks should not so far forget
themselves at any time as to misliehave
in church. Whispering is bad. but writ
ing and passing notes is worse. Last
Sunday night is the time to -which we
have reference- Young friends, don't
for your own sake, for the sake of those
who may be seated near you, and for
(rod's sake don't do so any more. Young
ladies, if you will quit it, surely the
young men will.
