Cuthbert Appeal: A Cuthbert clerk
a few days since was out in the eastern
portion of the county making collec
tions, and upon gaining the top of a
lofty hill, came in full view of a large
new ground where somefreedmen were
engaged in burning brush. He imme
diately about-faced, put spurs to his
horse, and retraced his steps at a two
forty speed, yeliing at the top of his
voice, “hurricane,” “cyclone,” “hide
out everybody,” etc. Several miles
were passed over before he halted to
look back. He took “roundance” on
that new ground,and enquired of every
body he met if any lives had been lost
in the storm. As he has not yet en

Atlanta Constitution: Grand Chancel
lor Hardeman of the Knights of
Pythias, was the recipient of special
honors during his recent official visit
to Excelsior Lodge in Savannah. After
the ceremonies in the lodge room, says
the Savanna h Advertiser, he was escort
ed to the raviliou Hotel by a guard of
honor; after which the Knights com
plimented him with a grand serenade.
He appeared on the balcony and ad
dressed them in a few pleasant and
well-timed remarks. On the day fol

Order tendered him a banquet.
The project of completing the North
and South railroad, says the Columbus
Tunes, through Meriwether county and
on to Atlanta, is daily receiving more
attention. Everybody seems to think
it a good plan, and seems sure that it
would pay finely. The greatest need
felt is for active working men to take
the matter in hand and to fully deter
mine whether or not the scheme is
practicable, and if it is, to push it
through to success. The of
Meriwether county seems to be anxious
for the completion of the road.
Atlanta Constitution: Yesterday just
after the down passenger train on the
State road passed Marietta, an infant
six months old died in the hands of a
nur.-e, and was brought to this city.
Sanford Bell, the conductor on the
train, rendered the lady all the assist
ance possible. She reached here with
$2 in her pocket. From her we learn
ed the following facts concerning the
infant: Mr. W. C. Suther and wife,
who originally went from North Caro
lina, died iu Texas some time since,
leaving six children, of which the in
fant wjis one. A relative from North
Carolina went after the children, and
the infant was taken sick at Nashville
and left. A nurse was sent for the
child, and she started for Concord,
N. C3., when the child died as stated.
That* Christian gentleman, W. J. Hous
ton, hearing of the condition of the
lady, immediately procured a coffin for
the child, and furnished transportation
for both to Charlotte.
From Mr. Littlefield the State Line
Press learns the particulars of a terri
ble homicide which occurred on Wed
nesday last, about fifteen miles above
West Point, in Troup county, near the
State line. It appears that a son of
Mr. Richard Tommie had cursed the
sister of James Foster, who, on hearing
of the occurrence, went to the boy’s
father and demanded that he punish
his son. This Tommie failed to do.
whereupon Foster himself inflicted
punishment on him. This was re
ported to Tommie, who took his shot
gun and started to And Foster. The
latter saw him coming, and, being
unarmed, went to the house and pro
cured his gun. He was in the act of
getting into a wagon, to ccme to West
Point, wnen the former approached
him, knocked him out of the wagon
with his gun, breaking it at the breech,
and then stepping back, snapped it at
Foster twice. Foster thereupon fired
a large charge of buckshot into Tom
mie’s breast, which tore him in a dread
ful manner and produced instant death.
Foster fied immediately, but a jury of
inquest decided that it was a case of
self defense. _____
Extent of the Country’s Hay Crop.
[New York Bulletin, July 7.J
The season is so far advanced now
as to enable a tolerably correct esti
mate to be made of the damage done
to the h&v prop in those sections where
it has been greatest. First, as to Con
necticut, the Hartford Tiines estimates
the crop at about two-thirds an aver
age As this is the most important
crop of that State the loss will be a
serious one, as the value of an average
crop is $12,000,000 to $15,000,000. This
will involve a loss of from $4,000,000 to
$5,000,000, assuming that this year s
crop will bring no more per ton
than an average price. This as
sumption, however, is not so well
founded from the fact that this
State has also suffered in some
sections considerably, notwithstanding
the recent rains, for the season and
crop ha l so far advanced as to render
it impossible to recover the loss by
the drouth. Still, by delaying cut
ting the crop much may bfe recovered
by the thickening up of the bottom
grasses. As to other States, no esti
mates are at hand to show the amount
of damage. From none other, however,
has general complaint come of drought,
except in the South, where the hay
crop is not so Important an element as
in the Eastern and some of the llfhidle
States. In view of the great impor
tance of this crop, which is generally
overlooked, It is to be regretted that
the press of the interior do not take
pains to collect reliable reports of its
condition, as well as other staple pro
duction. From reports at hand it would
appear that meadow or low lands will
yield about an average crop through
out the sections visited by the drought,
while the sloping and hilly lands will
vary from one half to a little more, ac
cording to the nature of the soil and
degree of the drought. Grazing lands
are also equally affected. The influ
ence of drought will, no doubt, be quite
extensively felt in the dairy districts,
and may have an effect on the market.

Bennington (Yt.) cemetery, the other

SOUTH CAROLINA.
THE PARKEIt CASE.
Ladd’s Testimony Supplemented by
that of Gulick, Scott, Solomon and
Others—One of the Jury on Par
ker’s Bond—A Convenient Rat Hole
—Perhaps.
I Reported for the Constitutionalist.l
Columbia, S. C., July 11,1875.
The important and pointed testi
mony given by Ladd on Friday, in re
ference to the coupons in possession of
Parker, in the Summer and Fall of ’74,
his eager desire to have them funded,
and his extreme caution and secrecy in
doing it, were strongly corroborated by
that given yesterday by Mr. Gulick,
Hardy Solomon, ex-Governor Scott
and James G. Thompson. Mr. Gulick
stated that he had received letters
from Ladd (Parker’s agent at that
time), upon the subject of funding cou
pons for him; that he had conversa
tions with Parker on the same subject,
in June, ’74; that Parker frequently
spoke of funding, and wished him
(Gulick) to do it for him, and the
amount which he proposed to fund was
large. Gulick was formerly cashier of
the Carolina National Bank, and is
now a broker in this city. Recently,
he has done good public service as
chairman of a committee of twenty cit
izens in ferreting out and exposing the
frauds and extravagance of the city gov
ernment. Hardy Solomon testified that
Parker endeavored, through him, to
negotiate a loan on coupons to the
amount of forty or fifty thousand dol
lars, in the Summer or Fall of 1873.
The loan did not succeed. He had the
coupons in his possession for some
time. Solomon is the President and
almost exclusive owner of the Bank and
Trust Company, which suspended pay
ment on the Ist inst., with $207,000 of
the State’s money deposited in it. A
deposit of $165,000 was left in Solo
mon’s Bank from the lime of the last
session of the General Assembly, when
his condition was ascertained to be not
sound, and recently increased by $42,-
000 more, in the vain hope, as alleged,
that with that assistance he would be
able to retrieve himself and pay all.
The duty of selecting depositories of
public funds and the charge of the
public moneys is confided to the hands
of the Governor, the State Comptroller
and the State Treasurer.
Ex-Governor Scott was recalled, and
testified that he had procured from de
fendant $12,500 of consolidation bonds
in June, ’74, in satisfaction of a judg
ment which he held against him.
Mr. Thompson, editor of the Union-
Herald, testified that he had pur
chased of Parker, through C. L.
Anderson, late Collector of In
ternal Revenue, in September, 1874,
ten (10) consolidation bonds of
the denomination of SSOO each, six
for himself and four for another party.
All this goes to show what Parker had,
what he was trying to do with it, and
the sly mode of his operations. The
person who actually did fund for him
was Y. J. P. Owens, the Radical Sena
tor from Laurens, and for several
years and until the last session of the
Legislature, Chairman of the Commit
tee on Finance —a scamp every inch of
him. He is conveniently absent, al
though he was regularly subpoenaed to
appear as witness in this case on
28th June. He refused last session to
testify in the trial of the case against
Cardozo. He funded in June ’74, as
agent $286,000 of coupon bonds. Anoth
er party not yet brought out as we un
derstand funded over $200,000 more.
Comptroller General Dunn gave valua
ble testimony iif the case. He under
stood it thoroughly in all its issues,
some of which are not fully developed
yet. He was Chairman of a legislative
Joint Committee, which in the Summer
of ’74 investigated the condition of this
bonded debt of the State, and probed
more particularly the system and
practice of hypothecation of bonds for
loans.
This examination was conducted
mainly in New - York. Dunn led the re
volt in the Republican party in the last
campaign against the regular nomina
tion. He headed the assault on Car
dozo, the State Treasurer, at the last
session, and although the Treasurer
was spared for reasons previously re
ferred to, yet Dunn’s services in the
matter were acknowledged by his tri
umphant election as Comptroller. He
stated as a fact and illustration, that
half a million of bonds for the redemp
tion of bills receivable, the same
amount of bonds for payment of inter
est on public debt were sold in Septem
ber and October 1869. The account of
interest in the Treasurer’s books
against the State includes charges of
interest on these bonds from Ist Octo
ber, 1868, which, of course, was not due,
and could not be a valid claim against
the State. Again, the land commission
bonds and relief of the Treasury bonds
were used by the State as collatCTal
security for loans in 1872, which showed
the ownership to be in the State at that
time, and such interest had been
charged on them also, long anterior to
it. In other words, interest had been
charged on bonds previous to their
sale, and ou some while hypothecated,
and on others before they were issued.
The debts of interest made up at the
end of fiscal year were greater than
the interest account rightfully accruing
during the year on bonds recorded in
the Treasurer’s office as sold and in
the hands of the public. This excess
of debt would enable the Treasurer to
pay more interest than really accrued.
Walter R. Jones was employed by
the State Financial Board from April
to November, in 1873, to examine into
the bonded debt of the State. He
traced up the bonds by thfcir numbers,
and made a study of what disposition
was made of them by the Treasurer as
far as he could from the records which
he left behind him. A point in his tes
timony, given Saturday, is worth no
ting. Bear in mind that the Secretary
of State ceased the sealing of Con
version Bonds in October, 1871, but
the conversion went on, neverthe
less. In answer to the question how
this could be done in 1872, he replied :
I cannot state positively, but I have
a theory about it. In looking over the
Treasurer’s Letter Book I flud letters
to these parties stating that these
bonds would be funded in a few days.
In a few days after that letters of trans
mittal were sent to these parties. I
concluded that those bonds were lifted
frofp hypothecation in New York and
brought here for the purpose of ex
change. Another reason for my think
ing so was that there lyere two or three
bonds left over and those were ip blue
and the coupons were cut off.”
Stollbrand one of the jurymen is on
Parker's bond, an awkward position for
a juryman to be in. To relieve him
from all embarrassment the
General made the statement that in the
event of a verdict against Parker, the
State will not take proceedings against
the bopd sureties, including Stollbrand.
VYe do not, see that this will relieve
him of bias which is a more important
thing to the public interests than his
cense of personal embaraesment.
The State closed its testimony here.
The defense will commence to examine
its witness Monday morning.

The State Closes and the Defense Re
fuses to Introduce Witnesses—'Sur
prise and Chagrin of the Prosecution
—The Argument to Commence To
day.
Columbia, S C., July 13,1875.
To-day court convened promptly at
10 o’clock. The prosecution placed Mr.
Thomas S. Cavender on the stand, who
affirmed that Kimpton’s evidence be
fore the Dunn investigating committee,
taken in the Summer of 1874, was not
sworn to. K. said that he never took
an oath unless he was compelled to do
so, and he did not recognize tue right
of the committee to compel him. In,
regard to coupons in the Treasury, of
which the Comptroller General, with
his (Cavender’s) assistance, had
made a detailed examination, the
witness said, they were counted
separately box by box, and then put
back in the boxes from which they
were taken respectively. He was con
fident that the examination was cor
rectly made. There were a number of
conversion bonds in the bo!x which con
tained the $196,714 of coupons return
ed by Kimpton. With reference to cou
pons in the Treasury, while the state
ment as to their number and classes,
yet the division of conversion bonds
into two classes—-regular and irregular.
—was one arbitrarily made at the
time the coupons were examined in the
Treasury office, and for which he would
not be willing to vouch.
The plaintiff’s counsel then an
nounced that they would here close
their case.
Mr. C. D. Melton stated that the de
fendant would offer no testimony and
would claim the benefit of the opening
and the reply.
The Attorney General; Why the case
takes this turn I do not know, but it
take# us by surprise.' On yesterday
morning the intimation was thrown out
by the defendant’s counsel that wit
nesses would be examined on the part
of the defence. Although we might
have foreseen that possibly the case
might take that turn, yet we were
thrown off our guard by the intima
tions from that side. I have it from
one of the counsel on the other side
that possibly and probably the exami
nation of their witnesses would take
two days. We are not taken by sur
prise from being without readiness to
meet this phase of the case, but be
cause our arguments are at home, our
books are at our offices. It is a serious
point, which the counsel on the other
side will perceive.
He would claim for the plaintiff the
opening and reply. After argument
from Mr. Youmans in support of the
proposition of his colleague, Mr. C. D.
Melton, that the defendant was en
titled to it, the Judge decided that
inasmuch as the defendant had intro
duced abundant testimony of folios
he had lost this privilege.
After further conversation by com
mon consent to-morrow (Wednesday)
at 10 o’clock was fixed upon for en
tering upon the argument. Mr Rion,
it is expected, will open with an elabor
ate exposition of this case, in which the
pertinency of much of his evidence,
now not entirely plain will be fplly ex
hibited. Home.
The Parker Jury.
[Columbia Union-Herald.]
One of the greatest misfortunes likely
to befall the Parker jury, after they
shall have been discharged from the
lofty labors to which they have been
called, is the unfitness with which they
will return to their ordinary humble
duties. Men who have been for weeks
handling hundreds of thousands and
contemplating millions, and sitting in
judgment on state officers, the object
and the envy of their fellow-men, can
not return to the obscurity of private
life without a pang. Already it is ru
mored that some of them propose going
in to the brokerage business, on the
financial knowledge acquired in the
pending trial as their principal capital.
The attention they give to the case is un
exampled, just as the trial itself is. No
artist could counterfeit the expression
of supreme financial complacency that
illumined .the manly face of Mike Al
len, juror No. 1, when the Attorney
General handed him a $5,000 bond, with
a full line of coupons attached, for his
inspection ; nor the self-assured and
dignified manner in which he turned
the trash over to Moses Profit, another
intelligent juror and a train hand on
the Greenville Railroad, who, in turn,
transferred them, as August Belmont
might be supposed to do, to Tom Car
ter, a worthy policeman, who knows
nothing about diamonds. Of such is
the kingdom of earth.
[Columbia Dispatch to News and Courier.|
While all this hubbub is being raised
about him, Parker himself is living in
style. It is true that he is in jail, but
the suite of rooms which have been
assigned to him are so gorgeously fur
nished that they appear far more like
some fashionable nabob’s private cham
bers than the cells of a county jail.
The Banker’s Convention.
The following letter has been ad
dressed to the bankers and bank offi
cials of every State in the Union, in
yiting their attendance at the conven
tion soon to be held at Saratoga
Springs:
New Yoke, June 21,1875.
To the Bank Officers and Bankers of the
United States:
Dear Sir: A meeting of the Commit
tee of Arrangements for the Conven
tion of Bank Officers and Bankers, to
be held at Saratoga on the 20th of
July, was held in this city on the 24th
ult., at which committees for perfecting
the necessary arrangements were ap
pointed.
It was the decided sense of the com
mittee that all questions on a political
or sectional significance should be
carefully avoided in the convention,
aim that the meeting should be for bus
iness and social purposes only, the ob
ject being to bring back officers and
bankers into closer relations, with a
view to the advancement and protec
tion of mutual interests. The commit
tee respectfully recommend that every
bank send a representative, and it is
hoped that out of this meeting, and
such others as will naturally follow,
will grow results of a business and
social character of importance to all.
A large attendance is expected, and
the work necessarily entailed upon the
committee of reception will be onerous.
To relieve them as far as possible,
those who propose to attend will please
notify J. S. Leake, Cashier, or S. H.
Richards, Cashier, Saratoga Springs,
N. Y., before July 10.
It is also requested that all delegates
on arriving at Saratoga will register
either at the First National Bank or
Commercial National Bank, where ap
propriate badges will be furnished.
The “original call” is hereto append
ed, as it Is possible that it may have
failed to have reached some of the
banks. It is, therefore, reproduced
without the names of the signers.
You are earnestly invited to attend
this national congress of bankers, and
your cordial co-operation and aid in
the preliminary arrangements solicited,
and correspondence and suggestions
invited, which may be addressed to ei
ther Iho Chairman or Secretary of this
committee.
Very truly yours,
A. P. Palmer,
Chairman of the Committee, (Cashier
Albany City National Bank, Albany,
N. Y.)
J. D. SquLLY,
Secretary, (Cashier First National Bank,
Pittsburg,* Fenn.)_

The Two Angels.
BY JOHN G. WHITTIER.
God called the nearest angels who dwell
with him above;
The tenderest one was Pity, and the dearest
one was Love.
“Arise,’’ he said, “my angels! a wail of
woe and sin
Steals through the gates of heaven, and
saddens all within.
“My harps take up the mournful strain
that from a lost world swells,
The smoke of torment clouds the light and
blights the asphodels.
“Fly downward to that under world, and
on its souls of pain
Let Love drop smiles like sunshine, and
Pity tears like rain!”
Two faces bowed before the Throne veiled
in their golden hair;
Four white wings lessened swiftly down
the dark abyss of air.
The way was strange, the flight was long;
at last the angels came
Whe j swung the lost and nether world,
red-wrapped in rayless flame.
There Pity, shuddering, wept; but Love,
with faith too strong for fear,'
Took heart from God’s alrnigh iness and
smiled a smile of cheer.
And lo! that tear of Pity quenched the
flame whereon it fell,
And, with the sunshine of that a/mile, hope
entered into hell!
Two unveiled faces full of joy looked up
ward to the Throne,
Four white wings folded at the feet of Him
who sat thereon!
And deeper than the sounding seas, more
soft than falling flake,
Amidst the hush of wing and song the
voice Eternal spake:
“Welcome, my angels! ye have brought a
holier joy to heaven;
Henceforth its sweetest song shall be the
song of sin forgiven!”

AUGUSTA FACTORY, Augusta, Ga., July 5,1875.
The Kitson Machine Compang, Lowell, Mass.:
Gentlemen : We have been running your Compound Opener Lappers and Finisher
Lappers, with Eveners, for more than one j ear, and frankly say that they have given
the most eminent satisfaction. We have no hesitancy in giving you our unqualified en
dorsement, and cordially recommend your Machines.

OFFICE LANGLEY MANUFACTURING COMPANY, I
„ Langley, S. C., April 14, 1873. )
The Kitson Machine Company, Lowell, Mass.:
Gentlemen: I have been running your system of Compound Opener Lappers and
Finisher Lappers, with Eveners, for more than two years past at the Cotton Mill of the
Langley Manufacturing Company, and have found it to work the most satisfactory of
any opening and picking arrangement I have ever seen. We h ive no weighed a pound
of cotton upon the picker apron since starting, yet we have had a remarkable regularity
of numbers. The staple is not injured by over beating, and it leaves the picker without
being curled or knitted; the seeding and cleaning is very complete. Over forty per
cent, in labor in this department is saved over the old system. One of the greatest con
siderations with this arrangement is its secur ty against fire.
Yours, Ac., M. F. FOSTER, Superintendent.

work for ten years or more, and have always given us satisfaction, doing a large amount
of work, doing it well, at a low cost for labor and repairs. In our * Prescott M ill,” where

the past seven weeks 39,267 lbs. Cloth weekly. Yarn averaging about No. 22. Cost one
