LETTER FROM gARD LABOR-TRIP J' "mr r\r>TiT j TO COLUMBIA?Mumittuiiu " DAY-CPOPS. Editor Abbeville Press and Banner: Dear Sir:?I availed myself of an .opportunity of visiting Columbia du ring the last week. I left, homo on 'Thursday morning and having some matters claiming my attention in your vi'lage, I concluded I would make Ilailroad conncction at that point.?' Tho roads being good, and the train : not leaving until y, i ioukuu uuu j affairs and reached the depot in am-1, pie time. We soon left Abbeville in ! tho distanco under tho watchful care of conductor Hammond, and engineer Syfan, both efficient officers-reach ing Hodges on time. The train from Greenville soon came down, and we : got aboard. Tho Koad seems to be doing a good business from the < *ftyunt of travel, which was much i iarger than I expected at this soason, And upon enquiry was told that the travel generally was as good, as it j was the days I went down and up. | I met upon tho road some of the I -oldest emploj-ees?Conductor Isaacs j is still here; ho has grown gray in the j service, but is as kind and aceommo- , dating as over. Point Wells, former- | ly Mail Agent, now Express Messen- i ger, fills his post to the satisfaction of 1 all. Dick Cheatham, one of Abbe- J ville's sons is regarded as one of the , 1 v, best engineers on tho road. I was 1 sorry to hear of Conductor Brazealc's J illnessand hopo ho may soon bo up ( and at his po?t. Conductor Bush ' seems to bo a nice gentleman and . bids fair to make a proficient in his ^ line. -Nothing of interest happened 1 during our way down. At Alston T there can*? aboard a detachment of j "Bluo^L-oats" armed and equipped as ^ the law directs, which looked like v war times. The crops along the t route seemed to be backward and r .suffering for rain. We saw very little " cotton up, and several places where j they wer&.busy-planting. t We af'rivotf at Columbia at G P. M., a and soon put ourselves under the care } of Mrs. Wright, of Xickerson's Hotel, j This is a good house, well kept and t deserves patronage. 31r.

In I company. with some friends, late in'J1 the afternoon, we wended our way to,0 tho cemetery, and on our passage'h thither .were passed by vehicle after j (j vehicle laden with Columbia's fair^t j h daughters, each bearing hp lier hands garlands of flowers. On arriving at* the cemetery we found Colonel Has j0 kell forming a procession?gentlemen i v in front arid ladies in tho rear.

Charles V. Hamilton Denies Impli- < .cation with, the McDuffie Robbers. 1 - * Yesterday our reporter had an inter-1} view with (.'apt. Charles V. Hamilton, I, the alleged leader of the band of vob- J bers, and who was convicted at the lastI. term of McDuflie Superior Court, and;' sentenced to ten years' imprisonment in Jc the penitentiary for robbery. | < Capt. Hamilton said : I wish (o make j, a statement in regard to tlie evidence of t Long and Willis, and also in regard to the previous character of those men. It r was a tissue of lies from beginning to j c end. Long's statement was identical 1 with a passage in a book called "The h Fancy Alan; or, A November Day in j Boston." Long had this book here in | jail with him and learned that passage * before the trial took place. Long stated that this robbery was his first offence. That was not true. He confessed to me, when he was with me in this jail, some < time before the trial, that he bad been > tori ;> n mimiinr #if primps ilm'imr I lllj/l IV ?l*. M III U IIUU.WV! V. v. i.?? ...0 ana since the war. In 1SG4 he stole a horse and exchanged it for a mule, whicli lie sold to u Mr. Lanier, in Abbeville County, South Carolina. He said that after the war, in 1SG-5, he was hired by several parties to kill Mr. Lanier, for which service ho was to receive $10(1. Before he got to Lanier's house, however, lie concluded not to kill him, but to give fiim a good whipping. Lanier was a liorse doctor, and Long sent a man up to tiis house to tell him that a gentleman lad a sick horse down the road, which le wanted attended to. Lanier went to .vhere Long was, who gave him 300 ashes, almost killing him. He was next n with a party who robbed an old man lamed Itountrie, in Abbeville. Long .vas to kill ltouniree with a slcdgc-ham ner, but as he made a blow at him the >ld man dodged, and the hammer slipped ;"rom Long's grasp, liountree then umpcd to his gun and the robbers ran >ff, taking with them about $G00. Jtn nediately afterwards Long, with two >thers. stole a lot of guns, pistols, watch, uid $150 in monev from a party of ne jroe* on Little River, in South Carolina, binding that he was getting under )icion, he said he came down to Edge ield and hired himself to Series &, Hew tt, who were working a gold mine. 4-U aha 1-* r? ut/\!n (rnUl I* IIIIC UIU1U lit HWljUVUHJ QIU to ^VIU, rhich another person was suspected of aking. He ana another party went to ob a negro on the Savannah River, but s they entered the house the negro truck at Long with an axe, cutting open lis shoulder and nearly cleaving hiin in wain. He afterwards tried to make it ppear that it was the Klam boys, of jincoln County, who were concerned n this robbery. At Dorn's Mine, S. jOng robbed the United States census aker in 1S70 of his books and money, ie said that there was a man named Iarriss came to him afterward, and told liin that Hf he gave up the books he night keep the money. He told Har iss he knew nothing about the robbery, iarriss then went to a man who was oncerned with Long in the aftair, and old him Long had confessed. The man hen gave up the books. Ai;ain falliug nder suspicion, Long said he went to !oweta County, Ga., and afterwards lo ated in Thomson. He also stole a horse rom a man named Blackwell, in Edge eld county, S. C., and sold it in Glas ock County, Ga. Willis, who tried to lake the impression that I had induced im to do wrong, was as bad as Long, ie helped to murder Atkins, besides eing engaged in other crimes. Itam cy, in 1S0I5, went with a party to ljin (hii County, and searched the house of n old negro man, named Henry Cobb, >r money. Failing to get any at this ouse, they went to the house of Cobb's r>n, whom they hunguntil lie was nearly ead, to make him confess where his ither's money was. They then went ack to Henry "Cobb's, where they were red upon by a party of negroes. One f Ramsey's party was killed and the thers were all wounded. Last spring Lamsey went to New York to get coyn irfeit money. His expenses were paid y four citizens of the County, whose ames I never expect to make known. Reporter? If you are innocent, Capt. lamilton, why were you convicted ? A iry of twelve honest iuen tried your ase. Hamilton?I was unable to employ xwyers until the last moment; con*e 1 T C T 1 1 ueuuy, \?us not t-n. ii j. mm lad a chance, I could nave proved that ,ong and Willis were induced to testify gainst me, and could have established ay innocence to the satisfaction of every ne. That which did me the most harm . as the report that I was a I'nited .States eteetivc, trying lo ferret out Ku Klux. f I was that, I was certainly a danger us man in the community. Iteporter?Long's evidence in relation "> you, Captain Hamilton, was very traightforward and conclusive. Hamilton?Yes; but, as I said before, ie took ever}' word of it out of the book ie had herein jail with him. Long tated that he was twenty year? old, fhile his real age is twenty-tour years, 'his he told me himself. Mr. Evans, ,*ho was robbed some time since, has re eatedly said he would not believe Long n his oath. I am innocent, and am iade to sutler for the crimes of others. Hamilton then stated that he was born a Spartanburg, S. C., in 1847, and erveu through the war in Cien. Forrest's ommand, as captain of a baud of scouts, ie was married in Edgefield, in January, 807. Hamilton is a powerfully built jail, and has anything but a pleasingjv ountenance. His bare statement that _ ie is innocent will hardly be believed, . hen twelve citizens of McDuflie Coun- ti y, which" was the principal scene of is mis-doings, after a fair and impartial rial, have pronounced him guilty.? [ujunta Comlitutionalbit, 8th. T A New Legislature Demanded. ^ We learn from trustworthy sources \ hat a movement is on foot in nearly j very county in tho State to secure a letter class of Representatives to the " icxt General Assembly. This is a rise movement, end we sincerely si rust that it will be pushed to the f'ul est extent in every county. There rere a very few good men in the last legislature, whom wo should like to ee returned, but the majority should >e left at homo. Some of these men bought no more of'selling their votes ban they did of taking their meals, md they did tho one with almost as riueb regularity as the other. No ill of any importance, even to their >wn appropriation bill, was allowed o pass without pay. Nor was this ascality confined to Representatives rocn any particular section of the 5tate. It was more the rule, than he exception. The time has now come when the Republican party, if it expects any .Avmnnfint success in this State, must >ring about reform in legislation, and his must be dono within our own '.inks. Unless we take "the matter in iand it once, the honest men* of the >arty, the rank and file who have fol owed these treacherous leaders in he respective counties, and who are low getting their eyes open, will lose XHjfidenco in tho good intentions of ;he party, and ally themselves with .hose who do not look upon a public )ffice as 60 much legitimate plunder. Let the Republicans of tho various ountics hold meetings and compel heir representatives to givo an ac count of their stewardship, and unless .hey can give substantial reasons why .hey should be returned to t|io I^cgis ature, let them stay at home. We selieve in rotation in office, and par iSularly in legislative bocies. When nen bccomo too familiar with the )perations cf such bodies, when by ong experience they bccomo thor Highly acquainted "with the ''ways -but aro dark" about law-making as ;emblies, their plaee3 should be sup )Iied with new men, fresh from the )eople. The State officers are minor onsidcrations. With a venal legis aturo the best men in the world as ixecutivo officers arc powerless for rood. We must begin at the fount tin-head, and send good men to moke he laws.

"Withdrawal of Grant.?Aspecia leepatch to (lie Charleston News, dated 1 tVnshingtan, May 10, says: It is understood that the administra- ' ion Senators have at last reached a defi- ! lite solution of their troubles. They 1 leld n caucus to-day, concerning the >olitical situation, and after a stormy ession, decided that President Grant nnst be withdrawn as a candidate for J enomination by the Philadelphia (,'on 'ention. Senator Cameron was deputed - o notify President Grant of the action if the caucus.
