THS CASH TRAGEDY. Oar readers will find in oar colami a statement of the more prominent di velopments in this lawless affair. Tb Governor deserves credit for the qui? determination with which he has goo to work to arrest this mao, and to sb o that crime shall not go unpunished i oar State. We are sorry that we cat not also compliment the Chesterfiel officials. Their position before th State is certainly unenviable, no mai ter whether their failure to ?arrest W B. Cash arose from fear or indifference A taw that can be enforced against on class, and is a dead letter when broke; by another, is worse than a nuisance In the august presence of Law all mei stand on an equality. The poores tramp is entitled to its protection am deserves its punishment no less and n moro than the proudest millionaire j That is its theory and such should be it practice. No barder blow could b* given to the good name and prosperity of the State, than allowing W. B. Casi to go at large, without an earnest effbr to arrest him, while a man occupy in g i humbler station in life would un dei similar circumstances be occupying ? felon's cell. We give no opinion as t< the guilt or innocence of the accused His friends claim that the shooting wa? in self-defence and possibly so, bat it ii a fact that he has shot two men, one ol whom has since died, while the othei still lingers on the verge of the grave : and the case certainly demands judicial investigation. Bat in our anxiety tc have justice done, we do not join with some of oar esteemed co temporaries, who seem to have lost their heads en* tirely, in writing of this tragedy. There has been no resistance, so far ai we have heard, to any attempt at arrest. After W. B. Cash shot his men he ran away, and we see nothing strange in that act. He is still trying to keep oat of the way, bot has offered no resistance, and we really see no oeed of calling out thc army and navy to enforce the law until some one resists its doe execution. So we earnestly advise oar excited co te m - porar?es to take a drink of ice water and "cool ooVand in the mean time Governor Tbompeoo ^Sheriff Spafford is too ill to attend to that work) wilt have W. B. Cash arrested and oar State will once more be at peace. The article on our outside,- from the Wad es boro Intelli? gencer, is strongly partisan in its tone, and we suppose there is some romance in its composition. In met it it is very easy to join tn a hoe aad cry when everybody is running tbe same way ; bot it is hardly worth while for all oar papers to try, condemn and execute tbe criminal, as the courts will save us that trouble. . THS REPUBLICAN PASTY'S RESPONSIBILITY. In reading over the details of the in? vestigation of tho Danville and Copiah riots one is struck with the evidences of devotion manifested by the rfegro wit? nesses to the Republican party. No sacrifice of happiness, or property, or even life itself, is shunned by the cred? ulous dupes who go to make up the voting strength of the party in the South. Their leaden have told them that success to the Democrats m eau s the abolition of their freedom, and they believe the falsehood, with all their souls. In their ignorance they are con? vinced that happiness and prosperity, for all time, are irrevocably bound up with the success of Republicanism. A failure to the party will work unnum? bered woes to them, and every privilege given them heretofore will be lost. HeDce their devotion, and strange in? fatuation when voting time comes around. Bat it seems to us that this pitiful state of affairs, would arouse a feeling of remorse in the hearts of con? scientious Republicans, if there be euch, and some effort would be made to undo the cruel mistake which makes the col? ored voter a miserable man, during each political contest. The leaders know that the negroes would be happier if this political bar between the races were broken down ; they know that the Democrats could not, if they would, abridge any of their legal rights; and they can but know that the political bit? terness which is the outcome of each federal election, would be in a great measure destroyed, but for the color line in politics. They know that in South Carolina, and the same thiug is true in other Southern States, that the election of a negro to office, by negro votes, and in opposition to the whites, except in a few counties given up to them, is an impossibility. They are aware that no profit of any kind can come to the negro from their wicked teaching, bot that great benefit would result from the destruction of political barriers between white and colored ; and yet, the same teachings go on, year after year, and is received with the same un? questioning belief. And why is it done ? It looks uncharitable to say that this virtuous party keeps up the agitation for purely selfish purposes ; that they hope to have a sufficient quantity of election riots each year to fire the hearts of Northern men, and bring about the ; customary Republican majority. This . aviation doe* the negro DO good, io j mm,-*mW W r mm, m ? - , - fact it does bim harm and they knoi He gets neither money, office nor j er by this abnormal condition of aft He gets an occasional kick from De eratic roughs, (so the Republicans i and after the election gets the shoulder from the Republicans tb sel yes ; but if a negro is killed here there during thc election, it is all ri; The tale is told with its accompany horrors, the Northern heart is fired, a great victory is the result. In meantime, we wonder if these s leaders ever think of the poor di whose lives are a continual worry cause of their political beliefs, and i spasm of repent eu ce does not occas! ally cross their sin-hardened so which almost tempts them to tell truth for once, and show the negro vo of the South that their wisest po would be to drop all political anta nigms and vote with the whites in a ct mon cause for a common good.

E. B. C. Cash Arrested by State Fosse. W. B. CASH STILL AT LARG' The folio trio g is the account g iv by the special correspondent of t News and Courier of the effort made 1 the State Constable and posse to ca ture W. B. Cash, and which result in the capture of Col. E. B. C. Cas on last Sunday. State Constable R. N. Richbour, with twelve picked men armed wi improved Springfield rifles, left Colut bia at midnight last night, and arrivi at Florence at 3.30 A. M. They we met there by Sheriff Cole, of Darlinj ton, and took a special train for Cash Depot, no regular train leaving on Sui days. The force reached a point a mi below Cash's Depot at 5 A. M. Hei the train stopped and the force diseo barked and proceeded np the track c j foot to Cash's house. Before daylight the house was sui rounded, and the force waited for ligh About 6 o'clock Cash the elder ros? found that the pickets were about, arme himself with a Winchester repeatio rifle and pistols and tried to escape froi the premises, He ran against Joh H. Pearson, one of the sentinels, wh presented his rifle, demanding hts sui render. Cash hesitated, and Pearso said: "Drop your gun, or I'll shot you in two seconds.' Cash dropped bi gun quickly. He admitted bavin been taken completely by surprise When captured be was endeavoring t make his way to the log-house acros &he railroad, where young Cash ha been sleeping every night since th murder. The force closed in an searched old Cash's bouse thoroughly but could find nothiog of Bogan Cash A party started for the log-house befor mentioned. When they were half wa there, Cash, getting alarmed for bi son's safety, made a proposition to g to the log-house, if allowed to do so alone, and pledged bis sacred hono that he would Lave his son surrende within two hours. The propositioi was acceded to and the force was recall ed. Cash went and soon returned saying that bis son had left the hon? an hour before and that be did no know where he was. He offered, bow ever, if tbe force would withdraw tba his son would surrender before Wednes day. He frankly stated that he onb wanted to come off with flying colorai that neither be nor his son desired to bi considered outlaws, but that be desiree to effect a capitulation on his own terms Bearing in mind the desire of Governoi Thompson tbat Cash should be captur?e before he had a chance to surrender Chief Constable Richbourg d?clin?e these terms. Cash then made othei propositions and finally offered to let Richbourg go with bim to hunt bis son promising that be would surrendei within twenty-four hours if the posse were dispersed. This showed weaken? ing and was finally refused by Rich? bourg, who immediately proceeded tc give Cash a taste of the rigor of the law. His premises were surrounded by s guard with instructions to allow no de? parture or arrival. Cash's pistols and rifle were taken from him Cash pro? tested bitterly against this, but said that he yielded to force. Capt. liich? bourg, having determined to let noth? ing prevent the most thorough -. search for young Cash, left most of his men' at the bouse aud at 9 o'clock proceeded to Cheraw to summon a larger posse ol horsemen with which to enter tbe swamp and track thc fugitive to his hiding place. He is supposed to be near Cash's Depot on an island in the swamp. Arriving at Cheraw at 10 o'clock Capt. Richbourg called on the inten? dant and authorities for tbe force. He desired some fifty men. He is carrying out the desire of the Governor in mak? ing no terms witht he Cashes. The chief constable remained at Cheraw until about noon when be start ed for this place, io the special train of the Columbia party, with about twen? ty-five young meu belonging to the Cheraw Guards, armed with rifles aod commanded by Capt. Thomas P. Mciver. Half a dozen horsemen also took the road for Cash's Depot. The appearance of an armed delegation in the streets of Cheraw which ventured to speak lightly the hitherto sacred name of Cash caused a great commotion in the quiet town. Capt. Mciver when called on by the State congabie for fif? ty men responded to the best of his ability, and the force furnished was, in number, quite sufficient. For the last day or two it is said the people of Cheraw have been talking more freely about the murder and thc Cashes than they bad ventured to do before. Such is the force of public sentiment. The appearance of our party in Cheraw County gave notice to thc people that South Carolina was of greater force than the Cashes. The spirit of the Cheraw detachment was excellent and their departure was witnessed by a number of people. The train soon arrived here and tbe consol? idated detachment marched up to Cash Castle. Its size must have surprised Col. Cash. This individual during the absence of Captian Richbourg had been making new propositions to surrender Bogan. This offer was rejected. A long time was spent in considering what j course to take. The Cheraw detach- j mont wero positive that liogan could be j captured in a day or two if his father j was arrested. So intense was their j distrust of Cash that Capt. Mciver did i not consider it safe to trust his meu to 1 guard the house in which he was im mured. Cash had stated that he had j five hundred rounds of ammunition | and that he might as well die | to-day as any time. A warrant was sworn out hy Chris. ! Hussung, one of the Columbia party, j charging Cash with being accessory after the fact of his son's crime. There were strong grounds for this warrant, which was issued by Trial Justice J. M. McQueen, who was on the grounds, j Cash was arrested and held until the ? train for Columbia should depart. Parties of tuen on foot and horseback scoured the country around for miles during tho evening, but could find no trace of Bogan Cash. It is thought that his father's arrest will cause him to lose his grit and that he will have to come in and surrender if the hunt is continued. N. G. G. The following is the account of the murder as given by the correspondent of j the News and Courter : The inquest over the body of the murdered marshal was held as already published tn the telegraphic columns of j The Netos and Courier on the 29th \ ult. The testimony bas been forwarded ti Chesterfield Courthouse and is not ac cessible. From what I can gather hen from eye-witnesses of the affair then does not seem to be much doubt as t< the character of the homicide, if wha these witnesses say is to be relied upoi it was a cruel, wanton murder. Casi it seems had been in town some day: previous to the shooting, and had bad i fight with the town marshal. One o Cash's friends told me that he had saic that be was drunk on that occasion anc that Richards had beaten him prettj badly;' at any rate the matter wa: thought to have been settled. Cast promised Mr. McNair, the intendant o Cheraw that he would not molest Rich? ards, and Mr. McNair had told Rich? ards that Cash had pledged his "wore 9? honor" not to take any unfair advan? tage of him (Richards) anet that he (the ?Btendant) bad every confidence in bil keeping bis word. It is believed bj some here that W. B. Ca<m fully intend? ed to keep bis word. Col. Cash wai I in Columbia at the time of the fight ; between Richards and his son, and only returned home on the Saturday ol the shooting. It is said that upon finding that W. B. Cash bad been beat en be started to clean up his gun and announced his intention of coming tc Cheraw to kill Richards, and it is be? lieved that in order to prevent his father from carrying out his threat Bogan Cash then took the job into his own hands. He reached Cheraw about 4 o'clock on the fatal afternoon, and announced his intention to a gentleman, whose name for obvions reason is suppressed. He brought three horses with him and bad them hitched convieniently for use. Then he went out gunning. Richards was stand? ing near the corner of Front street lean? ing against a tree, Coward near him. Cash passed him twice, went to the telegraph office on Market street, sent off a dispatch and then returned. Upon passing him the third time he accosted him hand in pocket. 'Hello ! Richards,' said he, 'are you watching me?' To this Richards replied that he was only on duty. Turning to Coward, Cash said : 'Damn it, are you watching me, too !' to which no answer was re? turned. Cash thereupon started to walk off and Richards, in his ante-mor tem statement, says be thought be was going away Not so. Quickly pull? ing out a self-cocking Smith & Wesson pistol, Cash fired, the ball hitting Richards in the arm and giving Coward bis death wound. A secoud shot gave Richards his death wound aud a third missed both men. Cash then ran off, mounted one of his three horses and started for the castle of his family. In the meantime he lugged out a fresh pistol which he probably had on his person. Passing the railroad station, which is on the outskirts of the town, he shouted to the agent : 'I've got two of them, and am ready for as many more as may come.' I am informed that there were fifty to seventy-five per? sons in the vicinity of the place when the shooting occurred. It is also said that when W. B. Cash reached his home Cash senior was standing upon the platform armed with bis gun, and : h at, upon the arrival of his son, be embrcced bim and told bim that it was the best deed he had ever done. It is said that the Colonel was ready to start for Cheraw himself on the next train, in order to take a hand in the hunt. The correspondent of the Greenville News has had'an interview with Judge Melton as follows : 'Judge, is it true that you have been retained to represent Cash V 'It is,' was the sententious response. Then Judge Melton added with some vehemence : 'It is as clear a case of self-defence as was ever put before a jury. A braver man than Bogan Cash dou'tiive, and he will appear for trial at the proper time.' The Newsman smiled a cold, sarcastic smile. 9 Judge Melton, with the eloquence of the hand which is one of the charms of his oratory, extended that member with an indescribable gesture which express? ed the words be uttered immediately 'I bold Bogan Cash in my hand' he said ; 'he will be found and will sur? render when I tell him to do it. No man in South Carolina can get to him or take him until I say the word, and I will say it^at the proper time.' Somebody suggested that Governor Thompson was not a man to be trifled with, and that he would probably find means to secure Mr. Cash without con? sulting bim. 'They can't do it,' said the Judge, 'it's au attempt to humiliate a brave man, and they can't do it. Cash will appear and make his defence at the proper time.' 'Will there be any attempt to re? move the case to the United States Courts ?' 'Oh no,' was the reply. It is reported here that Col. Rich? ard Watts, of Laurens, brother-in law to Mr. Cash, will be associated with Judge Melton as couusel. Many peo? ple in Greenville express the belief that Mr. Cash is in L?ureos, although there seems to be no foundation for the sur? mise beyond thc known fact that he has connections there. The latest news from Cheraw dated 9 P. M. last night was to the effect that the Posse had failed to arrest W. B. Cash, and had gone to Florence to await j further instructions. Witnesses to prove the complicity of j Col. E. B. C. Cash in the murder arc j on their way to Columbia. It is probable that a writ of huleas corpus has been sued out before Chief! Justice Simpson to-day, in thc case of Col. Cash. Col. Witts, Gen. Y. J. Pope and Judge Melton are Cash's lawyers. The Copiah Investigation. The committee appointed hy thc Senate to investigate the alleged political outrages in Copiah, Miss., returned to Washington, March 2d. Senator Jonas, ! of Louisiana, a member of the commit- j tee, says that a full investigation shows that the killing of Matthews grew out of a personal difficulty, and there is no evidence to iudicatc that national politics entered into the dispute. It was a simply local election trouble. There has been no session of the Courts there since tho trouble occurred, and there is every reason to believe that justice will be administered when the Court meets in April. He says there was not the slightest necessity for a Congressional investigation.-News and Courier.
