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. Uarr, me t
Superintendent, is a nice gentleman, I
accommodating, and understands his
business. Jioard $3.00 per da}'. Co- r

on that ^eventful night when that b

Friday was Memorial-Day and it!
was fitly observed in this city. 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

then marched down to tho soldier's;*

ladies marched through into the eu-j
closure, two( and two, each one bear

wcre.-?admitted inside, with Jlcv. Dr. jv
Howe, Ihg officiating clergyman, andjl
after a most solemn and impressive v
prayer, the ladies went silently on:^1

Capt. 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 >

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.

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

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

)eople. The State officers are minor
onsidcrations. With a venal legis
aturo the best men in the world as

"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. It is now admitted on
,11 hands that the nomination of Grec- i
L*y has utterly demoralized the Grant
lique, who see it in their death-knell. |

HftL. Judiro David Davis, in conver
