Burglary in ?IcUui?e louuty, Ga. Arres t of tnt Parties. Front the Chronicle <? Sentinel, 19th. On yesterday afternoon four voung men were brought to this city from Thompson, McDuffie county, and committed to jail on a charge of having committed burgla ry at night. From a well known citizen of the county, who formed one of the prisoners' escort, we get the following de tails of an aiTair which has created great. . excitement in the neighborhood where it occurred : At a late hour on last Friday night, Mr. Jesse Evans, an aged citizen, who lives near Sawdust, was awakened by the report of a pistol, and discovered that some one was shooting at his dog. Two-shots were fired, one of which wound ed the animal. A party of men then' en tered the piazza and ordered those within to open the door. Mr. Evans asked who thev were and what they wanted. One of them replied that they" had just killer! t two negroes, and^needed money with which to leave the county. Mr. Evans said he had no money ; but they refused to believe him. and threatened to "force the door un less it was opened. 'Mrs. Evans kindled a bright light upon ! he hearth, and at the fame lime the ebor was opened by her hushund. Three men entered, all ol' whom wer-? -disguised and ned their faces mask ed. The leader preaeufod a pistol ac the old-man's head and ordered him to give up all of his money, upon penalty, of death . ii.he r-jfused. Mr. Evans gave" them all he ha i in the house-as resistance would have k?en useless-about three hundred I and thirty dollars in currency and seventy dollars in specie. During the parleying the mask which concealed the features of one of the men fell partly off, but was quickly replaced. After obtaining the money the men retir ed, without committing any actof violence. t Ou?ai.urd*y morning a "little boy who had Leon in the room cm the night'of the robbery, a grand-son on Mr. Evans, sta ted that he knew the party whose mask had falhjn off, and that his name was Thomas -^Willis. - That afternoon Willis was arrested in Thomson, and at once con fessed-h is share in the transaction. He also implicated five other young raen, Cap tain C.V. Hamilton, John Ramsey. T. H. Long. George Hutt and Adolphus*Roney. Captain Hamilton and Messra" Long, Tull ona Roney were taken into custody and kept under guard that night. Sunday morning the prisoners were brought be fore two Justices of the Peace for a pre liminary examination. At the investiga tion, we" learn, Willis turned Stata's evi dence, and testified that there had been an organized band in the county, at the head of which wa3 Capt. Hamilton, and of which himself, Long." Ramsey, Tatt and Roney were members. The band had been engaged in several expeditions, on one of which thev had gone into South Carolina and robbed the house of a man named Johm-on. He said that himself, Ramsey and Roney were the parties who visited Evans' house. These three were committed for trial on a charge of burgla ry at night, Capt. Hamilton as anacces ' sory before tho fact, and- Mr. Tuft for the alleged burglary in Sooth Carolina. Mr. Ramsey mada his esca ?e bsfore arrest, but it was believed he would be caught last night. Capt. Hamilton was acad'-'.^Iry shot by Willison Suturday morning, while the latter was playing with a revolver, but wa? not much injured. Several citi= zena of the county formed the guard which brought the prisoner to the citv. Desperate Fig ht. MEMPHIS, March 18.-A desperate fight occurred on President's Island, four miles below- this city, yesterday Dep. Sheriff F. Rodegan Went there for the purpose of arresting a negro named John White,-who, for some time, has been th-i terror of the negroes, living there. Rod-?gan was met by a large body of armed negroes, who proposed to assist in the aiTest, but they stated that White had barricaded his cab in and would-mike a desperate fight. Rod ogan approached the cabm and demanded the surrender of White, who refused, say ing he would be murdered JV the negroes if ne did. After some furlher parleying, .one negro approached the cabin and w is shot dead by White, who rushed out and secured his gun. In a few minutes he shot another and secured his gun, but was woundc i as he retreated to his cabin. White then opened a sharp lire, wounding four otb-rs. "Rodegan, seeing that i:' was impossible to dislodge him." sent to the ..rity for assistance.. De^u-y sin-ri.r Mir. Payne summoned a posse, and wr-n? over and proceeded to take measures lo i ir? White's cabin. White then surrendered. After hi3 arrest it was with great difficulty the negroes were'kept from shooting "him, they even threatening to shoot the officers if lie was not delivered to them. Whii W03 brought to the city and lodged in jail . The prisoner has served a regular terra in the Third Cavalry, and ii is said he has killed several men before.

Canning and Dishonesty TS. Fire and Bnrelar-proof Doors. Among the Acts of the recent Legisla ture we find the following: Joint resolution authoririnK the8tat? Treasurer to purchase a set of fire arid burglar-proof doors for the vault in his office. Now considering.the report that Treas- | urer Parkdr sloped two or three days ago, from Columbia, taking with him some $300,000 of the State's money, this Joint Resolution really makes one laugh. Treasurer Parker, at tho very time ho I ought to have been at his post, paying off the Assemblymen, (though we aro forced to say that they do not deserve a cent) it is rumorod here by Republicans, runs away from Columbia,.and takes, thep.ub lio funds with him. It is not known whither he has gone, and many are the rumors concerning his. disappearance. Rut Mio current opinion is that he has deliberately got away to keep from pay intr the negro Legislators Many of these, being poor, and in" a strait for money, must take anything they can get for their 1 chocks against the State; i'arker doubt less leaves behind a speculating agent, who buys the cheoks of the poor negroes' at fifty cents in the dollar. And then Parker comes back,?and finds bis pile made. Was ever meanness so pitiful be fore? From past experience, as exhibited in the last few years, thora is'no earthly use lor those fire and burglar-proof doors, without the keys which unlock them are given into the keeping of the white peo-., pie of South Carolina who pay the taxes? ? ''he New Railroads to be Built in . Sonth Carolina. ' We give below, the titles of the new Railroad Acts passed by the Legislature just adjourned. The Actsthemselves we will publish at an early day : An Act to charter the Raleigh Colum bia and Augusta Air Line Railroad Com pany. . . An Act to <-harter the Spartanburg and Port Royal Railroad Company. An Act to charter the Greenwood and Augusta Railroad Company. < An Act to ' authorize the formation of j and-to incorporate the Spartanburg and Aiken Railroad. Tho last mentioned Is our road-the road which is to run from Spartanburg, by Laurens, Ninety-Six, and Edgefield. This Act is the first decided step in the matter. And now let all the workers, and thinkers, and writers, and speakers, and monej'ed men, interestedin the mat ter, bestir themsel7es forthwith and to the triumphant end. We will have more to say upon this all important subject next week. hy there is uo Money in the State Treasury. This question, (says the South Caroli nian) was answered by Representative Whipper, a colored Republican, a law yer, and one of tho ablest colored men in the SUte. During the closing hours of the late Legislature, quite an angry debate oc curred when tho committee appointed to wait upon the Treasurer and make in quiries into the prospect of the per diem reported that he could only give orders to thc members on the County Treasu rers. Representative Whipper said: " There was no money in the Treasury now, because it had all gone into the pocketsof the members, who were bought to vote against impeachment. Decency ought to tell the member from George town to keep his mouth shut, when it . was well known that most of the money rolled out of the Treasury" into his pock et. If he was not so black, he ought to blu.Nh for his shanie, and the majority of j the members ought to gp to their closets and ash God to forgive them their infamy." This now is the judgment which a mem ber of the Legislature of South Carolina passes upon that body. The Ku Klux Act os Trial. The oaae of T?r. A YO-J.- ana chu ssens of South Coro.'.ina, indicted under tiio Enforcement or Ku Klux Act, is now being argued before the Supremo Court in Washington. The ca?e involves the constitutionality of the said Act. Attor ney General Williams and Assistant At tornoy Hill for the Government, Messrs Doverdy Johnson and Henry Stanbery ?br tho defense. The upsot cannot yot be announced. It might he reasonably predicted however. Senator Aruim Protects Against the Validating Bill. The so-called Validating Bill-another most nefarious Act,, concocted by Radi cal thieves, and passed by our ignorant and corrupt Legislature-is that instru jnriii which validates all issues of bonds lOretofore made in the name of tho State if Srmtli Carolina. In ?hort, this bill make* good and lawful tho entire amount b-.ndshnretoiore issued, and estima? .M? as nearly ?td,000,000. This is dono vitln-ai reference to the-legality of MPS m.ide within the past two years, and in regard to which the gravest doubts ..xis? in tho mind-, not only of the tax payers or South Carolina, but dealers in tonds elsewhere. And it has been open iv charged, even by Radical members of \ he present Legislature, that there has iieen au over issue ol' bonds to the extent -r $(*.,000,000 or moro. Yet in tho face of these doubts and charges, it is now at tempted to stamp thc seal of efficacy and legitimacy upon every bond so issued, and thus deprive the Courts from settling a question which properly belongs to their jurisdiction. This hi^h-banded \rt w,-\s protested against-and their prn :est is spread upon thc Journal of - the .kilato-by nino Senators, five Republi cans and four Democrats Among these ?i.nnes we are glad to r.ec that of Sfnator Arnim, of Edgelield. 4. ??other Ct....red Convection. The convention of colored men which ?S ?ctnbled at Columbia, S.

Bansier, ol' South Caro lina, should, in his discretion, call a re assembling of the convention, at New Orleans, on April 10. That officer bas, wcordingly, issued hie c?ll for the April .nnvention, " to consider the political nid material interests of the colored peo ple.'* _^ Democratic Taxation. The rate of taxation, in North Carolina for the coming year is les* than four mills on the dollar, or 3*i cents on overy hun dred dollars' worth of property. .This ax is levied by a Legislature overwhelm ingly Democratic, and is in striking con trast with the Republican administration of affairs in South Carolina. Tho Demo cratic Legislature of North Carolina tax the people less than four mills on the dollar ; tho Radical Legislature of South C troll na tax us near twenty milla on the dollar. _ ??:>.'- A telegraphic dispatch to the Char l Courier, dated Columbia, March , .tates-: " This morning a Joint Com ?it?ee from the House of Representa tives and Senate proceeded to the Treas urer's office and completed the cancella tion of the six millions of Sterling Fund Bonds; which had been recalled from New York.

It is no less strange than true (says the Macon Tcleyraph) that Liberia has just escaped Jjy tho skin of her teeth tho livre rons of civil war through the" machina tions of a yellow-skinned' earp?t-baggor from Ohio, appropriately named Rogi from which thc rascal had dlopped tho ?. Roge, by some ehicanery. got himself j elected President' of tho Republic and ttr?n attempted to force throughan amend ment pf the constitution by counting out thc votes ol' three counties in tho four composing that jurisdiction. This pro-* duc-?d a popular revolt, and Roge then called out thc' military to put. it down. Thc military, however,, had th? good sonso to side with the. people-a conven tion was called- and they pitched Ror-e Out qi the Presidential chair iuto jail, and thoa reinstalled thoir ?ld Presi dent, ito berts. Tims Liberia dealt moro promptly with the carpet baggers than .thc S'MUh was able to do, on account of Grant. "The Boston Journal, from which wo learn . thfw facta, says that Liberia appears to bc nourishing, but its natural resources need developing. Don't dovelo]? that country, Mr. Journal. Let it alone. Let the poor blacks go un awi'?died to anv further extent" j&ar*Thoold adage "it's an 111 wind that blows nobody good," never was more emphatically exemplified that in tho ?a*o. of Messrs.

Thc great Aro at Chicago, brought to them nearly ono hundred and fifty of the most valuable Indorsements that cftn be given to a suc cessful invention, and since that time tho New York firm,, at 251 Broadway, have been scarcely able to supply the demand. What the business mun re quires is perfect security for his trans portaba property, and the Herring *afos appear to haye reached in thoir various severe tests the very climax of thia per fection. .The County Treasurer of Orange burg, Capt.
