: The English are investing very heavi
' lv in Southern lands. One ' company
bought 811,000 acres in the Panhandle
of Texas recently. Another company
bought 1,300.000 acres of bottom land in
the Yazoo district of .Mississippi, which
they intend to drain and fit for cultiva
tion. Another company bought 2,000,000
acres from Diss ton oat of his 4,000,000
acre purchase in Florida. Other com
panies have bought largely in Kansas
and Colorado, but the South is the
favorite region, for English capitalists.
They say that their own country offers
do inducements to capitalists to invest,
especially in land ; that this country is
the place, and that the cheap lands of
the South'appear to be the best part of
this country to put money into. It is to
be hoped that these investments will
turn out well, because, if they do, there
will be a very large importation of
English capital into the South, which
will m ke it blossom like the rose.

When things grow dull in Canada
they fall back on tbe annual Fenian
i scare. The last was that frolicsome
gang of " Fenians, " with satchels, who
went over from the States to blow up
the Welland Canal, but who finding the
-Aforesaid canal strung with sentinels
concluded to postpone the performance
and return, with their satchels, whence
they came. The next thing we expect
to hear from Canada is that the Feni
ana entertain hostile designs upon the
St Lawrence river and will proceed at
once to knock the bottom out of it.

The interest in 1 the Shields Sltton
tragedy which was slightly on the wane,
was suddenly revived yesterday over
the news that Mr. A. C. Shields, father
of the slayer, had . been arrested and
lodged in jail on charge of being an
accessory to the crime, Mr. Shields is
an old man, fifty-five years of age, and
was arrested yesterday morning in Paw
Creek township by deputy sheriff W A
.Griffith, who , was on . his wsy to .Mr.
Shields house to make tbe arrest when
he met Mr. Shields' in the road. The
two came on to the dty together, snd
after Mr. Shields had consulted for a
short time; wl(a his lawyer. Judge By
num. he accompanied thai officer to the
jail. The arrest waa made on a warrant
issued, by Mr. S. B. Smith, coroner of
the county, charging Mr. Shields with
being an "accessory before the f set," in
the murder of Jos. G. Sltton. The cor
oner's jury last Wednesday, returned a
separate verdict declaring that they
found the elder Shields guiltyof being
accessory, but this verdict, for reasons
best known to the coroner, was with
held from tbe reporter. Tbe testimony
of several witnesses wss given to the
effect that Mr. Shields had made re
marks to indicate that he knew the
shooting was contemplated, and that
Sitton would have been shot last week
had Thomaa Shields been prepared for
it. These are tbe grounds for Mr
Shields arrest.
Through his attorney, Mr Shields ap
plied to Judge Shipp for a writ of
habeas corpus, which was promptly
granted, and tbe accused will be brought
from jail this morning for a hearing
before Judge Ships. The trial ia set
for 0 o'clock at the court house, when
the witnesses in the case will be ex

thoroughly examined into. The mur

An account appaared in our column
last Tuesday of a colored man, who
gave bis name as James McMiillen
coming up to Justice McNlnch and
turning State's evidence in what ap
peared to be a murder case, committed-
near Rock Hill, 8. C. McMullen stated
that a party of colored men, whose
names he gave, bad murdered Mr.
Jerome MeElwee and hid his body in
the woods. The Rock Hill Herald, re
ceived yesterJay, copies our local and
throws some light on the subject. It
says that 'Mr.McElwee' waa living and
was in town last Saturday, though it is
no fault of Smith Reed. Lot! Waters.

the negroes named ia the above article.
that he is a living man. On the night
of the 1st of last September they, with
others, led by Smith Reed and hia wife.
went to Mr. MeElwee'e bouse and at
tempted to enter, tbe avowed purpose
"being to kill the gentleman whom Mc
Mullen aays they did kill. They failed
in the attempt, and were afterwards
arrested, tried convicted and sent to
the penitentiary. We do not know who
James McMullen is, unless be be a
negro of that name living near Lancas
ter village, a brother of whom had one
ef the above negroes in his employ at
tbe time of the riot. We cannot
imagine what hia object can be. It is
certain that Mr. MeElwee waa not kill
ed on the occasion referred to by him,
unless it be only bis spirit that we have
with us now. It may be that Jim'a ob
ject was to get a couple of day's lodging
at the expense of the city of Charlotte,
and that hardly seems probable if he be

good boy and is able to pay hia way.

Our city will soon have the advant
ages of a competing line of telegraph.
and one which promises longer life
than the late American Company. The
new line ia being erected by the Balti
more ami Ohio Company, aided by a
company of New York brokers, and
will be known as the Southern Tele
graph Company. Its line extends from
New York to New Orleans, and the
wires are np as far South aa Danville,
at which place ah office is new open.
Two construction corps are no w putting
np the wires between Danville and
Charlotte, and Mr. A. J. Baldwin, boss
of the construction work, tells as that
the line will reach Charlotte and an of
fice open for work within six weekss
from to-day. Two wires are being put
np and are being strung on the old
American line. A construction force
is working the way from New Orleans.
The location of the office in this dty
has not yet been selected, but it will be
made central and convenient. Yester

Last evening a negro named Warren

round in Robb'a lot. King street, and
refused to pay the proprietor, Mr Lud
wig Schemmeier. Mr Schemmeler called
a policeman and urant caugnt air
Schemmeier . by the beard. When the
policeman came up ana arrestea urant
about fifty of the negroes present at
tempted to rescue him, and followed
the officer.-throwing bricks and using
abusive language. Several windows on
King street were smashed by the crowd,

ana ait aucnaei AicLravut, a snoe
maker, who was standing in his door
way, received a painful wound, from a
rock. on. hia head. As soon as the au
thorities at the station house could be
notified, Lieut Heidt and Officer Miller
went up to the scene of tbe disturbance
and dispersed the mob, which had in
creased to about one hundred and fifty
men. AW 13 run gea and Joe ravers,
both colored, two of .the ringleaders,
were arrested, and with Grant were
lodged at the station house. At one
time King street looked like it did in
76, and the three men arrested, and as
many more of those implicated as can
be arrested will be committed for trial
for riot. ' ! .
A Oaagereas Aasaisesaeat. - -In
a party in St Joseph. Me. wss a
young man "noted for his brilliant con
versational powers." and a - beautiful
girl "from one of the upper counties;"
and in the course of a struggle for the
possession of a trinket "the girl sank
her ivory teeth into the fleshy part of
the young man's arm." He politely
concealed his pain till he returned
home, when, on removing :his garments,
blood waa found trickling from the
wound. Next morning the . lacerated
arm was found swollen to twice its
natural size, and he was laid np for sev
eral days. Tbe St Joseph paper, in re
lating tne incident, reiers to another
and worse one of a similar nature that
occurred atlCapeiGirardeau a few years
ago. in wmcn a young genueman ac
tually died from a playful bit on his
thumo ny a young lady. The paper re
marks: "It frequently happens that the
bite of a woman is poisonous." t

The indications are that the election
this fall in Ohio will turn almost
wholly on the liauor Question. The
Republicans hsvinz passed the Scott
law its constitutionality is questioned,
and cannot be passed upon until the
date fixed for the State convention, so
there Is talk of postponing the conven
tion. It would be unfortunate for the
party to find it had passed an unconsti
tutional act for a second time on this
question ; but the set is passed, and the
party cannot help adhering to its prin
ciple without being defeated. The-Re-
pu means of Ohio seem hardly to nave
learned that a party is never put in
power for what it does not believe in.

The demand for tariff reform comes
from the people, and it is folly r for poli
ticians to wins: it is a mere question or
party management., whether it should
be made a leading issue or not.

CooaTessmen visiting Waahinston
nowadays are unanimous in the opinion
tnat somebody else a internal revenue
district should be consolidated and
their own left undisturbed.
