One of the daughters was living openly with a negro man, and two others kept a disreputable house. The regulators whipped Boyle, his wifoand two daughters, and warned them to leave the county in ten days. Boyle begged to be allowed to harvest his crops, and on ac- count of his poverty he was given leave to do 80, but in the meantime, the original order being disobeyed, the regulators gave the family another whipping. Next the regulators visited parties between Ridgeway and Winneboro, and whipped them badly, Lloyd Davis, whe has _a negro mistress, was visited mext, He got away. His household fuiniture was badly broken up and his colored family warned to quit. Tom Davis, the richest merchant in Kidgeway, was given ten days to leave, because ho had n negro mistress nud family, Ho left his business in the hands of nis clerks, and left for Mississippi. Ross ‘Williams, liviog on the other side of Ridge- way with's negro woman, was next visited, but showad fi-ht and was saverely whipped, as was also his mis ress, and ordered to leave, Auvous weu tawiies, all mixed, have felt the power of the regulators so far, The excuse the regulators give is that the grand jury does not take cognizance of thoss living ia unlawful intimacy, becauss it ia so_hard to prove the existence of such a fact. The people could not be reached by law and so was deter- mined to reach them outside of the law. The chief offenders, whether warned or not, are leaving, aud fear exposure and punichment, The regulators dirguise themselves while vis- iting by covering their faces with cloths, No weapons but h(ckmz switches have bsen used, UHARLE=TON, S, C , Sept. 11, - [Associated Press | —A full account is publiched of the recent doings of bands of white regulators in Fairfield county, showing that their motive is a determmation to sbolish miscegenation, Their plan of action is to notify white men who live openly with negro mistresses to leave the country, If they fail to do this the hand pays them & visit and administerss whippingito all members of the family, ‘I'he same plan is algo followed with those who keep disreputable houses for negrooe.

The general course of the tornado was from eouthwest to ncrthwest through the long way and centre of the city. Its general width was about 600 feet, with occasional breaks to right or left. In fits couree of a mile and & half in town, 1t is an exception that any equare escaped injury. In most of them damages to property are marked, and in some fearful, The business portion suffered mosf TIojuries ranged from the shattering of win- dows to every stago of dsmolition, If a single houss in this portion escaped harm, I have not noticed the exception. In two blocks alone, practical men have estimated the loss to buildings at $60,300, The damages to goods in these will not fall under $20,000, “No class of property escaped, Dwellings of all grades, public halle, charches, school houses, fell a prey to the storm’s fury. The individunl losses, as shown by estimates of committees, will exceed $250,000, These are the total, as they are not covered by insura They fall most largely, but not most trously, on by s men. The devastation will bs most seriously felt by ths poor, who have come in for their full share, I should say an many as forty houses occupied by poor families were utterly demolished, The relief committes estimate for all -sub-committees have not reported —that 100 families will need aesistance because of losses incurred. Some of them, as I know from personal observation, are rendered destitute, Numbers of them are on the streets, and therelief committes, which 18 & wost excellent one, will have all it can do with the funds at haod to provide shelter for them from the coming cold weather, Fvery dollar sent to the chairman, Colonel H, B, Maynard, Wushington Court House, Ohio, will be concientiouely applied to the relief of the needy poor.

Williams, third auditor of the treasury, to-day addressed a letter to ths sec- retary of Lhe treasury, stating that on the first day of May last, when ha essumed the duties of third auditor, it was notorious, that tho business of the offlce was largaly in ar- reare, the cause being that tha clerical forca was not sufficient for the proper despatch of work, The peusion diviion was nearly a yoar behind in its examinations and ssttlements of the accounts of pension agents, involving the sum of $75,087,885, mis- cellanaous claims against ths government, ing state war claims, amounting to $15,- Some of the work of tue collections of the division was over two years in_arrears. In the horee claim division over 11,000 claims were pending and unsettle?, involving $1,716,- 396, Unsettled accounts of army quarter- masters and_ commissioners amouuted to £5,458,208. Unsottled accounts of engineers samounted to $5,556, making a grand total of 8104,527,017, { In'tho short space of four months, ending on the 81st of August, and without increasing the clerical force, Auditor Williams says the accounts of all pension agents have been ex- amined and settled up to the 1st of June, last, and clerks in the division are now examining snd settling the accounts of the last quarter, which is current work, As a showing of im- provement in the workng oapacity of the clorks of that division he that curing the montts of June, July and August, 1884, there wero_ex amined and settled accounts aggregating S16,- 923,580, For the corresponding four ;months in 1885, the same clerks, with perhaps three or four execeptiol examined and settled 875,105,778, Thess figures make their own comment, In the house claims division 613 claims have baen adjusted or rejscted, in- volving §76,275 besides carrying on s large smount of correspcndence necesssry to the proper dirposal of the remaining cases, During the same period of 1884, 200 cases|were disposed of involving $27,774. The accounts of quartermasters, commissaries and engineers are up as far a8 poseible for them to bs and clerks in these divisions are now engaged in ourrent work, The claims division, collections divisions and ho divisions are the only ones in arrears, and the character of the work necessarily precludes the poseibility ofits being done promptly, This is explained on the plea that in almost every case information is required from other officers and outside sourcee, which often involves long de y. Auditor Williams it is due to the clerks in the office to say that with a fow ex- cepttons, since the present auditors incum- bency, they have been faithful and efficient, Their improvement in this respect is simply wonderful, As a consequenca a large amount of work has been performed, and that on the whole, business is in & very satisfactory con- ition. As aresult the improved condition of the business of the office, and greater ¢fliciency has been obtained. The third auditor recom- mended a reduction in the clerical force, The Iaw now provides for 18 clerks, and there are now six vacancies by resignation which need not be filled, The eervives of twelve more clerks can be dispensed with without injury to the public service, making a total reduc~ tion ot eighteen clerks, APPOINTMENTH, A. Hopkios, of North Carolina, to be min- ister resident and consul general of the United States to Liberia; Irwin Duggan, to be super- ising inspector cf steam veesels for the Sixth district, AGRICULTURAL REPORTS, The September report of the department, of agriculture, now in press, contains an article showing the production, consumption, and distribusion of wheat of the United States in " | elght years past, and others demonstrating the excess of commercial eatimates of the Pa- cific coast wheat production, and completeness of the assessors’ returns of the western states 88 to area and produots, DECLINED THE RUQUEST, The second comptroller of the treasury made a decision denying the motian of the counsel for the Baltimore & Ohio Rai'road company, that the accounts of ths company for gencral transportation of soldiers and supp'ies during thoe civil war be reopened. ‘The application was based on the ground that the company was subjected to extraordinary dangers and expenso in executing the business of the government, and was therefore enti- tled to more liberal compensation than was allowed at the time the accounts were settled, The comptroller declined to reopen the sccounts for the reason that they bad already been settled, and because no new evidence was presented to justify such a course, He also made the point that the !m)pany of the company, instead of being jsopardized by the business of the government was in fact protected thereby, AT THE WHITE HOUSE, Todsy was & very busy day at the white houss, and the president received a larger number of visitors than any day since his re- turn, Amovg the prominent callers were Secretary Bayard, Asslstant Secretary Porter ex Senator McDonald, The president held a public recoption in the esst room in the afterncon lasting nearly an hour, HOPE FOR OFFiC8 HUNTEES, WasHINGTIN, Sept, 10,~ [ Ipezial to Chicago 8. Times.] —The few appointments made yester- day had the effect of cheering the hearts of dis- consolate democrats who have been anxiously waiting for patronage lightniog to strike in their viclnity. Within the coming two weeks quite a numbse of democratio copgressmen who have been among their_constituents ar- ranging slates will be in Washington with their list of names, and the president will have plenty to do, ' He is exceedingly oare- ful mow in eelecting persons for appoint: ment to office. When the head of a department calls npon him with a recommendation that a certsin applicant shall beappointed to a given position, he presents a carefully prepared summary of the papers of every applicant for that position, The president goes over tha whole list, and not unfrequently bafora as- venting to the proposed appointment calls for for the original pspers on file in behalf of one or more other applicants for the place, The head of the department also submits in dotm] his reasons for selecting the ap- plicant he recommends, The president per- sonally examines the papers and spares no pains to thoroughly inform himeelf of the merits and demerits of the several applicanta, The prevailing impression among democrats in Washiogton at preient seems to be that official changes will now be made rizht along. This impression, however, appears to be based taore upon assumption thon authority, The applications now being preesed are mostly for federal offices within the various statce, and do not _relate to depart mental positions in Washington. Th easily underatood from the fact that elections are to be held this yearin some of the states, and democratic aspirants for elective offices are anxious to put their friends in positions where thay can be ueeful to them, It is said that keveral changes will be made in the of- fices of the interior department 8oon, and the report that a superviewg architect ot the treasury is to be pamed at an early day is thought to have some founda- tion. With regard to tho coast eur: vey it is not thought that the president will be in & hurry to appoint a permanent super- intendent, He said_before leaving for his holiday that he would take his time to make the selection, as the position required a man of rather special qualifications, one posseesing ecientific knowledge and business capacity. FOR THE G0OD OF THE PUBLIC SERVICE, Geen, Rosecrans, register of the treasury, asked for the resignations of William P. Tit- comb, assistant register, and Hartwell Jeni- son, Charles Mall, Arthur Hendricke, J., H. Beatty and N, B. Walker, chiefs of divisions in the register’s office. The resignations are demanded, the rogister says, 80 a8 to secure on unbiased judgment and cordial cooperation for the good of the pablic service, The reg- ister has found that the officials whose resie- nations ho has asked ars not in sympathy with him in reforms which he propcses in his office, and for that reason desiras to replacs them witli men upon whom he can rely. ADMIRAL JOUETT'S TROUBLE WITH THE TREAS- UBY DEPARTMENT. WasHINGTON, Sept. 11.—Second Comp- troller Maynard has written a reply to Rear Admiral Jouett, in regard to the item of $100 vaid for the entertainment of visitors to the flag-ship Tennessea at the New Orleans ex- positiun, in which he reviews the wholo ques- tion in the light of the points raised by the admiral in defense of the expenditure, He takes issue with the admiral on the point that the expenditure could progerly be made from the contingeat fuad, *and quotes from a decision made by Attorney General Devine in that contingent expenses a8 used inthe appropriation acts, mean euch incidental casual expenses as are necessary, or at least appropriate and conventent, in order to the performance of duties required by the department or offico for which the appropria- tion is made. TheComptroller 81ys hebas been unable to find any law which requires either the navy department or any cfficer of the navy to entertain public official the expense of the government, and adda that he cannot aseent to the adn ‘s etatement that it has been the practice of accounting officers to al- low such disbursements under the head of con- tingent or extraordinary expenses. But what- ever the practice in this reepect may have been, he eays, it will be conceded that if un- lawful it can not be too promptly discon- tinued. The auditor says in this connection, how- over, it may bs stated that sinco the 4th of March there appesrato have been an aston- ishing improvement in the health of the clen Last year with 159 clerks there were 1,696 sick days, To-day the auditor knows of only two clerks who ara abzent on sick leave, The comptroller adds that the records of the treasury department will bear him outin the stateruent, that from time immemorial it has been the practice when a public officer had received money belonging to the govern- ment, to which he was for any reason not en- titled, to make stoppege in his pay account until the amount illegally received had been made good. In concluding, the comptroller suggests that the admiral bring enit for the portion of his pay withheld, and so test the whole question, THE NEW LIBERIAN MINISTER'S RECORD, Rev Moses A. Hopkins, of Franklinton, N.

On10AGO, Sept. 11,—The Farmers' Review says to-day: Nearly all statisticans upon the whent crop this year—the department of agri- culture alone excepted ~have come down in their estimates of the crop, to or below the es- timates of the Farmers’ Review, in its is sue of June 4, viz: a possible, but not to ex- ceed 830,000,000 bushels, The department of apriculture, having made an estimate of 867, 000,000 bushels, is loth to materially reduce that estimate, but it will do so, It has al- ready thrown off ,000.000 bushele, and in its September report we look to eee stlil fur. ther reductions. As reports from threshing come in from both the winter and spring wheat crop, we now greatly doubt if we have raised more than 320,000,000 bushels of both of this year's crops. We have of grain in sight in farmers’ hands and in floar, an equiv- alent probably of 80,000,000 bushele, making with this year’s crop—if it is only 820,000,000 bushela—a total of 400,000,000 bushels, this amount we requira for home consumption and eeed 350,000,000 bushelr, leaving a surplus of barely 50,000,000 bushels for export or to bo carrded over into the mext crop year, Of foreign producers both France and Engiand have greatly reduced their acreage, and the do- crease from this cause in France is estimated at 35,000,000 bushels, Tn view of these facts of a shortage of 5C0,- 000,000 bushels of wheat and rye in the crops of America and Europe, we believe that the prices of whoat cannot lorg be kept down to where they are, Ecglish wheat only brivging a fraction over 81,00 per bushel in Ecglish markets, The man who has a crop of wheat on hand safely storad has a valuable com- modity thatis pretty sure to ba needed before the next harvest comes round, and at a price above what it will now briog.
