ground that Kellogg's credentials were

claimed the committee have a judicial

State Senator Maxwell and Col Men-
ton called ou the President tills morn-

of their interview: Tho president
spoke with perfect funkuess atatlng
that he desired to remove the antago-
nism existing between the races es-
pecially to political dittereuces resting
upon the color line that colored men
and the Republicans might ' not need
the protection of the army. He stated
that the use of military force in civil
altuirs was repuguuut to the genius of
American institutions ;and should
be dispensed with if poari-
ble. He however reoogulzed the lie-
ciHsity of protection at present until
that feeling of respect for tho ilgbtn of
political opponents should be enter-
tained by the Democrats of the South.
The president also stated that with re-
gard lo the peculiar dilliciiltles at pres
ent existing in South Carolina con-
cerning which the delegates expressed
grent anxiety he proposed to preserve
the status quo left by his predecessor
aud to examine into the condition of
affairs carefully and deliberately before

My Dkak Sin I have uot the honor
of a personal acquaintance with you
but have learned to respect you from
my knowledge of your reputation. 1
luke the liberty of addressing you now
with great distrust of the propriety of
doing so and prefacing It by say lug
that I speak without uutliority from
any one aud represent only my own
views. The situation of public atlairs
In South Carolina is too complicated to
be discussed in a note aud yet im-
presses me that it ought to be
changed by the policy of a
Republican statesman iu such a way
as not only to remove controversies
that disturb that State but to remove
all embarrassments arising from it to
the party iu all other parts of the
country. It has occurred to me to
suggest whether by your concurrence
aud co-operation an accommodation
could uot be arrived at which would
obviate the necessity for use of federal
arms to support eilhttr government.
uinl leave that to stand which was
best able to stand of Itself. Such a
course would completely relieve the
administration from the necessity so
lar us executive action is concerned.
of making any decisions between the
coiitlictiug governments aud would
place you Iu a position making the
sacrillce of whut you deemed your
abstract rights for the sake
of the peace of the oommuulty
which" would entitle you to
tiie gratitude not only of your own
party but the respoct aud esteem of the
entire country. I trust that you will
pardon the liberty I have takeu as my
motive is to promote not only the pub
lic but your personal good.

Vauderbilt's objections to the will of
the late Commodore Vanderbllt em-
brace the following points: Heavers
the writings oilered for probate are not
the last will and testament or codlell
of the late Commodore Vanderbllt
nor did the testator sign the paper
either In the presence of attesting wit-
nesses or at all or declared them to be
his last will or codicil thereto; nor did
he acknowledge subscribing thereto Iu
the presence of witnesses ; that the at-
testing witnesses did not sign their
names as witnesses at the request of
the deceased nor iu the presence of
the deceased nor iu the presence of
each other. The contestant fur-
ther claims that the deceased was
uot of sound mind when the
paper purporting to have been
signed nor iu any respect eupa
ble of making a will or codicil thereto;
that paper writings were procured by
fraud aud uudue Inlluence of William
Vanderbilt and others to contestant
unknown or by others at their lu-
stance or by Win. II. Vanderbllt per-
sonally and were uot voluntarily exe-
cuted by deceased but under restraint.
That deceased was by reason of delu-
slou and coercion morbid or meutal
luaulu meutal disorder age or for
other reasons disqualified to make
such will but by a desire to concen-
trate his fortune iu the persou of Wm.
II. Vanderbilt aud his children he had
become Incapacitated from making n
fair will aud hnd disregarded his other
children aud this through uudue in-
lluence and that the paper writings
are therefor? Invalid lu law. The ob-
jections were attested by the proctor
and counsel of the said Cornelius J.
Vanderbilt the contestant.

Ou Friday night the liwomlug
freight train when near Forney ran
over what seemed '.o tbe engineer to be
a calf Wheu the train arrived at the
Union depot the euglueer got out to
oil his engine wheu to bis dleiuay
found portions of human hair aud
brains aud pieces of olotbliig.stioklng
lo his engine. He therefore notified
the couduetor of No. 0 going east to
look out for a man that had beeu run
over. The conductor did s. aud it
proved to be llallie Dougherty the
well Uuown cattle man. The remuins
which were Jolly almost w re osrrlud
to Koraey and a coroner Jury muh-
moned. The euglueer of the train
went up last night to attend to It.
There are several theories of how lie
oame to be on the track; ho was lying
between the ties and the eugiuoi r iliu
not see him till right on him aud the u
supposed It tu be cattle and did not
stop. Men iu Forney report that
Dougherty had uot slept auy for three
nights and laid dowu there while
ot iters hint at a murder aud that tho
body was placed ou the track purpose-
ly. It is a horrible allair lu any light
It is viewed.

William Davis a white boy who la
employed at Thompson's theater was
ou the stage yesterday when a coloied
boy named Aleek came in with bis
boot-blacking paraphernalia. Davis
claimed the darky owed him a shine.
Darky refused to polish. Davis said
"Well Iheu I'll black them myself."
Uootblack went behiud tbe wings and
obtaiued a revolver used for "prop"'
which was loaded with powder aud
caudle grease. Walking up to Davis
be Bald "I guess I'll tlx you this time"
aud holding the muzzle close to Davis'
face he blazed away. Over went Da-
vis. The bootblack laid down tbe pin- '
tol und begau to console Davis enyiug
be thought the pistol had beeu shot
oil'. Davis' face was badly burned
and filled with powder. It la a great
wonder his eyes were not put out. Tho
darky made tracks. Olllcer Henry
Waller got after him and caught tight
of him about u quarter of a mile away.
Borrowing a horse hejuniped upou his
back and cut the darby off. Tho col-
ored hoy took refuge In a hourw but
Waller got him aud put him in Jail.
Davis went before Jude McLure and
made a complaint. The employes
about the theuter do not think the
bootblack knew that the revolver wna
loaded and that It waa unintentional.
He should bo taught however not to
point weapons under any circum-
stances. NIkuIhc the Contract.
Yesterday morulug tho oommittee
appointed by the common council

and president of the water works the
chief engineer and Tun Hkkaijj re-
porter assembled lu Kerfoot & Here-
ford's olflue to witness and participate
iu tbe signing of the contract between
the olty aud the water works. The
coutract was slightly amended aud as
It now stauds the city pays at the end
of every mouth for fire protection for
forty hydrauts at the rate of $100 per
bydraut per year on the condition
that the oompauy give a public test
that they can throw four streaa s at a
time from different hydrauts through
fifty feet of hose aud au Inch aud a
quarter uozzle over the highest build
ing along the line of pipes; nud the
water company Iu case ot lire shall
turn on direct pressure when notified
to do so by tbe chief engineer; should
the water supply fall at any time the
contract to be null aud void. Owing
to tbe fact that Insurance rates had
beeu lowered since March 1 nud tho
company had their pipes all laid aud
protection lurnished since March 1 tbo
coutract was so dated aud paymeuU
are to commence from that time. The
coutract was signed by the mayor aud.
secretary on the part of the city aud
the president of tbe water works.

miuutes eaoh way. The car contained
a number of the officers of the road
and nearly all tbe caudldates for city
ollloes. Andrew Jackson was on board
and It Is whispered that he will enter
tbe lace for mayor. If so then all
others must look well to their atlairs.
All enjoyed the trip tbe road bed be-
