2 COLUMBIA LEiiER. BUDGET FROM CAROLINA’S CAPITAL. The Llp«omb-Thom«s Difficulty as Re ported by Rtchlanrt— The Lien Law ♦ Breeding—Telegraphic Trouble*— •he • «mreu Peo ple .ind the Public Schools— Mr. Calvin's School Bill. (From Our Own Correspondent) CorrMßLt Senfr.mb'jr 22. —A very un pleasant affair occurred at the State House last Saturday, which has not been men tioned before in thia correspondence be cause it was regarded as very unfortunate, and it was the desire of all parties that no publicity should be given to it. But the State paper? have published accounts of it, and the correspondents of Northern and Western papers have telegraphed it to those onrnalF, so that it is no longer a ■eoto allude to the difficul’y between 001. James N. Lipscomb, Secretary of Sts’", and Mr. J. P. Thomas, the Gover nor’s private secretary. Os course there are always two side? to any question, and I shall endoavnr to both sides of this one. It »'pears that the Superintendent of the Penitentiary had requested the Gov ernor and Secretary of State not to let the newspapers know when convicts were par doned, until the papers were executed and the prisoner released, and this request was made because it frequently requires several days to make out the official par don after it has been granted, and if the notice of the pardon appears in the news papers before the official papers reach the Superintendent he is greatly annoyed thereby. The request of the Superintend ent was therefore respected and the cleri.s in the Governor’s and Secretary’s offices were instructed to withhold such informa tion and let the reporters obtain it from th» Superintendent. A saw days before the difficulty occurred A pardon had been granted to a man named z Paulk, and it appeared almost immediately thereafter in the News and Courier. As this was contrary to the rule established, it was somewhat of a mystery how the re porters had obtained the information. Mr. Thomas and Mr. Lipscomb’s clerks were standing at the door of tho Secretary of State’s effl -e discussing the matter, when 001. Lipscomb walked to the door, and. overhearing the discussion, said that it was possible that Mr. Gonzales, the Columbia correspondent of the News and Courier, had gotten the information surreptitiously. Mr. Thomas replied that Mr. Gonzales was his friend and be regarded it as only proper for him to say that he thought Col. Lipscomb was mistaken and that Mr. Gonzales would not do anything dishonor able. Col. Lipscomb repeated his state ment and added that Gonzales had lied on him, and it was not bard to believe that he might obtain news improperly, or words to that effect. Mr. Thomas again defended his absent friend, perhaps with some feel ing, and said that he did not believe Mr. Gonzdes would be guilty ot such an act. •Inst at thia time he was called into his office, which adjoins that of the Governor, and a few minutes afterwards Col. Lips comb walked in and said : You called me a liar and I will not submit to such an in sult ; and without further words slapped Mr. Thomas in the face. This blow was at once .resented, and gathering the iron water’pm off the stove, Mr. Thomas in flicted several ugly blows upon Col. Lips comb’s head. Friends rushed in and at once parted them before serious conse quences resulted. Mr. Thomas claims that when 001. Lipscomb approached him in the former’s office that he disclaimed any reflection upon him. Col. Lipscomb states that Mr. Thomas nossibly intended to do so, but that he did not allow any time for explanations. The whole affiir is universally regretted and deplored. It was rumored on Sunday that Mr. Gonzales would renew the matter by denouncing 001. Lipscomb on the next day. This rumor reaching Governor Thompson he sent Capt. Bachman to see Gonzales and endeavor to dissuade him from such a purpose. Oapt. Bachman hav ing failed to accomplish this result, the Governor had a warrant issued for Mr Gonzales’ arrest and had him placed un der a peace bond. Since then Colonel LiDßComb has, in the Register and News and Courier, denounced the report of the affiirmadeby Mr. Gonzales to the latter paper, and Mr. Gonzales has replied in a very cutting letter in which he defends his report and criticizes 001. Lipscomb very severely, and here the matter rests at present, and here it is hoped it will forever rest, until all parties can be induced to forget their differences and renew their old time friendships. As usual, about this time of the year the papers in the State have begun a discus sion on the lien law some are anxious for its repeal, some want it to stand and others are undecided. Some think the law the cause of rhe poverty of the small farmers and the misfortunes of the large ones, and predict that agricultural thrift would fol low fast upon its abolishment. Others con**'nd that it is the only means tenants and the landless have of making a crop, because it gives them a credit that th°y would otherwise not have; while the op p nents of the law say that this very class are most injured because they mortgage their labor in advance and n pay enormous interest on supplies fur-ished by mer chants and receive a min mum result tor their labor. If it is a good crop year the advocates of the law say it is unnecessary to repeal it, and if it is a bad year they say it is absolutely necesear to keep the law in force a year longer tn enable the mass of the laboring popula tion to exist. There is one thing un doubtedly true and that is, that with rare exceptions, the crops grown under liens are far inferior to those produced with out incumbrances, both in quality and quantity, and the annual failure of so many of this claps of crops reduces materi ally the average production per acre of the wh-de State an prevents us from making M creditable a showing in this respect as we otherwise would. The law, however, was passed to enable people to obtain credit and it will probably remain on the statute books just so long as such credit is needed. Stock breeding in the State is grow ing very rapidly. There are now eight stock farms where only thoroughbred cat tle are raised, six where both thorough breds and grades are bred, and thirteen where only grades are reared. This makes twenty seven full cattle farms, besides se-vend where horses, sheep and gbats are bred, and all of these except two are north of Columbia, which is the direct result of of the no fence law, as it was in force sev eral years in the northern connties before it was in other parts of the State. I have notices frequently at our annual fairs that more than three-fourths of the exhibits are made by the upper counties, and fully as large a proportion of the vis itors came from the same section of the State, and can only account for this from the fact that the people in the middle and lower part of the State devote so much at tention to cotton, to the exclusion of other crops, that they do not feel the same inter est in the fairs, and possibly do not have the time or money to attend them, while . the up country people, having more di versified indu tries, are greatly interested in the mowers, reapers, pulverizers, en gines and other improved agricultural im plements on exhibition, and besides bring splendid horses,cattle, sheep, Ac., of their own breeding to exhibit. Theie was, however, at the last fair a slight improvement in this respect. An unusual number of low country people were present, and it is hoped that at the next fair in November the attendance will ' be larger than ever before. The Secretary is already receiving en tries of cattle and the live stock show promises to be the largest ever known. The Columbia B ar J of Trade is arranging a series of entertainments for visitorsand every preparation is being made to ac- CHHONICDE AND CONSTITUTIONALIST, GA., WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26 1883. commodate and please the large crowds that are expected to be present. The en tertainments during fair week will em brace day fireworks on Wednesday, a torchlight procession on Wednesday even ing, a grand promenade concert on Thurs day night, and a =plendid display of fire works on Friday night. Two young boys who had been . “cram ming” with dime novels left their homes here this week with the avowed intention of going to sea, possibly to become pirates. They were arrested by the police in Charleston and returned to their parents in Columbia. To be arrested by a com mon policeman and locked up in an ordinary station house was prob ably not what these youthful adven turers expected, but while their expedition ended rather unromantically, they will probably soon realize that it ended wisely. A car load of wire belonging to the Southern Telegraph Company was attached by seventeen of their laborers for non-pay ment of wages. The paymaster of the company was prevented by sickness from reaching here in time to pav the laborers, but he has arrived with sufficient funds to liquidate the indebtedness of the company and is trying to settle all claims without the expense of a lawsuit. It is expected that the poles between here and Charlotte will be up this week and the wires in two weeks. Dr. P F. Griffin, superintendent of the State Lunatic Asylum, left the city several days ago to visit the asy lums of several States, before at tending the Penal and Charitable Insti tutions Cor.vention to be held at Louis ville. Col. T. J. Lipscomb, Superintend ent of the Penitentiary, has gone to this convention also, and will afterwards visit several of the penitentiaries of the North. I think it safe to say that he will find that the South Carolina Penitentiary, which he has managed with signal ability, will com pare favorably with any he may visit, and that instead of getting "points” from the managers of other similar institutions he will be competent to make suggestions to them for the improvement of their peni tentiaries. Our State Treasury is being repleted by the.payments of phosphate royalty and fall taxes that are now beginning to come in. 001. John Peter Richardson, the pop-* ular Treasurer, stands at his desk and pays out money with the same genial ex pression that illuminates his handsome face when he receives it. Very few men can do this. Three hundred and thirty-four white pupils have been enrolled in the graded schools of this city, and it is expected that five hundred will be in attendance and six hundred or more colored children in the colored schools. This is a better begin ning than was expected in the white schools, as it was thought that the linger ing prejudice so knany have to public schools would have to wear away before they were liberally patronized. There is a growing disposition to adopt, in this State, the plan proposed by Hon. Martin V. Calvin, the able Representative from your county in the Legislature, to appropriate all the taxes paid by white tax payers to the sup port of white schools and the taxes of colored citizens to colored schools, and unless some such method can be pur sued it would not be surprising if a gen eral attack on the whole school system was made. It is undoubtedly true that, in nearly every case, all the Radical political devilment in the State is perpetrated by the colored school teachers at the instance probably of the few white Radical office holders. These fellows are the super visors and deputy marshals at all elections, and always the convenient witnesses in all of the political trials, and yet during the year they are supported by the men whose liberties they are ready to swear away, if necessary, to please the Republican party, and when the colored convention met in this city some months since it had the audacity to denounce the Democratic ad ministration in the State, and demand the c Election of more taxes for the education of the negroes, when they knew that the white people—the Democrats paid 90 per cent of the taxe* and 50 per cent, of it was devoted to the education of colored children. If Mr. Calvin’s plan can be put into practical operation it will probably prevent the repeal of that section of the Constitu tion which levies the two-mill schooltax in South Carolina This correspondence has been interrupt ed by sickness that has kept me confined to the house for several weeks and from which I have not yet recovered. This ex planation is wade as an apology, both for the quantity and quality of the material that has been sent you lately. Richland. SIDNEY LANIER’S FLUTE. A Story of Prison Life Told By One of His Lonely Companions. (Fiom ihe Observer.) “It was at Point Lookout, twenty years ago, that I made the acquaintance of Sid ney Lanier. We were in the Confederate service, and both, though running at dif ferent times, had been captured at sea by a blockade boat. I was the first to en counter my fate, and had been already some weeks a prisoner when he was brought in.’ “It was a trying time, the midsummer season, and the ‘long yellow days,’ as one poor fellow termed them, made the hos pitals full and death rates appalling. Late one evening I heard from our tent the clear, sweet notes of a flu;e in the distance, and I was told that the player was a young man from Georgia, who had just come among us. I forthwith hastened to find him out, and from that hour the flute of Sidney Lanier was our de.i’y delight. It wks an angel imprisoned with ns to con sole us. “Well I remember the improvisations, and h w the young artist stood there in the twilight (it was his custom to stand while he played) breathing what seems to me now the first dr»am of his wonderful ‘Marsh Hymns.’ Many a stern eye moist ened to hear him, many a home sick heart for a time forgot its captivity. The night sky, clear as a dewdrop above us, the waters of the Chesapeake far to the east, the long grey beach and the distant pines, seemed all to have found an interpreter in him. “ ‘His heart found neighbors in great hills and trees And streams and clouds and suns and birds and bees, And throbbed with neighbor-loves in loving these.” “His music embodied the charm of his verse, the same deen wave like, passionate I swell of the long, full Hues His “Magic Flute” was his soul’s mouthpiece for many ; a year before he wrote poetry. In all those ■ dreary months of imprisonment under the keenest privations of life, exposed to the daily manifestations of want and depravity, sickness and death, his was the clear hearted hopeful voice that sang what he uttered in after years: “ ‘Sweet friends. Man’s love ascends To finer and diviner ends Than man’s mere thought e’er compre hends.’ “We lived as fellow-prisoners for more than six months, and at the end of that time were exchanged together. The boat that brought us to Aiken’s landing was de ' laved for some rime before reaching the wharf. While we were impatiently wait j ing a steamer from Richmond came along side, and some one called out to a man on our deck to inquire if Sidney Lanier was on board. The flute had betrayed its dear master again; but this time it told of a i captive’s release, and never were tidings more joyfully hailed.” Steamer Sank. Memphis, September 24.—The steamer Centennial, Captain Wm. Burke, from St. Louis to New Orleans, struck a log yester day afternoon five miles above Hales Point, Tenn., and sank in nine feet of water. The Centennial had a large cargo, including 1,000 barrels of flour and other goods in the hold which will be seriously I damaged. The passengers were brought I here to-day by the steamer Genevieve, LETTER FROMCIPL EVE. His Retirement From the Directory ot the A., E. de C,—S /me Reasons That Induced His Resignation—The Management of the Affairs of the Company Criticised —A Meeting of the Stockholders Should Be Held Editors Chronicle : My views as to the power and authority vested in us as Directors in the A., E. & C. B. R , being so little in accord with the majority, if not the remainder of the Board, ■ necessitated my>resigning from that body, and self-respect requires my giving my I reasons to the stcckholders to show that it ' was from no pique, but from what I con ceived to be good and just rea ons that I did resign. Ist. Feeling that we were only tem porarily in office, accidentally almost, that our actions would be criticized as we were Directors; only by some thirteen of us petitioning for a charter, I have believed in an early eall of the stockholders to elect officers and ratify and endorse our ac-ions, more especially after we had collected the first ten per cent, installment. Instead of that we have filled vacancies in our Board, called in thirty per cent, of the subscription, and, although the 12;h month since we have received our charter is at hand, I have heard of no move look ing toward an early convocation of stock holders. 2d. It has always appeared to me that our surveys have cost entirely too much time and money, and that the route should have been determined by the stockholders, or a directory chosen by them, obviating the necessity for so many surveys a good thing for the surveyors—but costing more money than we c .n afford. 3d. As to the grading, I cannot conceive how we (the A., E. 4 0. R R’ Directors,) could do work more cheaply, i.e., better and more quickly than contractors could who owned mules, carts,and tools and con trolled experienced labor, whether hired or convict, and had built and are building railroads all the time; in other words, whose regular business it was and is, when we did not own a pick, and to say the least of it, would lose greatly when we finished the road and had to dispose of broken down mules, carts, etc. 4th. As to the guage, many of the stock holders seem to be unaware of the fact that there is from Elberton to Toccoa City a 53 mile 'narrow gauge road; that Elberton (and not Chicago) was our objective point when we, or at least I, subscribed to con nect with a “toy road” that is doing all the business of that country and could do twice as much. While it may sound ab surd and ridiculous to the President and Board of Directors, it is but just to the stockholders to have an opportunity of voting upon a question of such vital im portance to them for all time. A broad gauge, seventy-six mile road, is to be built to Elberton, there to connect with a fifty three mile narrow gauge road that has been in operation for years. Are we in a condition to purchase or lease and alter the grade and equip the 53 miles necessary to connect with a broad gauge road at Toccoa? The difference in cost of construction has been estimated at a saving of more than forty per cent, in favor of the narrow gauge by reliable and experienced railroad ex perts. Admitting it to be but twenty-five, a mere bagatelle to our wealthy (?) corpo ration, the difference between $75,000 and SIOO,OOO is $25,000, and between $750,- 000 and SIOO,OOO, $250,000, when the cheaper road can carry more than the coun try produces, developing our country just as effectually, giving us a daily mail and communication with tho world, and saving more in construction than the road would earn in ten years. sth. As to time, time seems to he no ob ject. Instead of Laving 100 or more hands employed and as soon as a mile is graded and ironfed, so that construction cars can be used, the whistle of the loco motive convincing doubters that we mean bnsine-s, and gaining subscription, we have a few carts and hands employed who have been months employed in grading 3 or 4 miles through an almost level, sandy country, as I am informed, when with the 30 per cent, called in on over SIOO,OOO bona fide (claimed) subscription, it seems to me that nearly ten miles could have been t raded (and if money gave out more in stallments could have been called in) ex clusive of bridges and tressling. $30,000 will finish a great deal of work it judg naatically expended. These are some of the reasons why I differ with the board. Thanking you for the use of your columns for this explanation, I am, resoectfully and yours truly, F. E Eve Eubanks P. 0.

London, September 24 —A dhpatch from Vienna states that Russia is making extensive military preparations along the Austrian and Garman frontiers. Tenders have been asked for 36 000 military beds. All the railways have been ordered to have their military cars in readiness. A list has been mtde of private steamers in the Black Sea, and their captains have been ordered to prepare for the transportation of ammunition, troops and provisions These vessels have ceased executing pri vate orders, and the caniage of corn is thus interrupted. Enormous provision depots have been established along the frontier and two army corps have been dis tributed between Vistula and Bug rivers. A list, has been made of ail persons, who, io the event, of war, will be deported from Poland to the interior of Russia Won’t Play With Negroes. On their recent visit to Toledo the Chi cagos refused to play the local club if they presented Walker, tbeir colored catcher, in the team. Walker had a sore band, as it happened, and was not down on the bill to play. Cincinnati Commercial Gazette Severe Storm. -- Buffalo, September 25.
