Two or three deputations a day paraded before its windows, wore exhort ed from its balconies, and, occasionally, run riot about iu? staircases and windows, In search of obnoxious officials to lynoh? or favorites to carry in triumph. Orderlies galloped into the court-yard at all hours, inventors besieged the bureau with plans for annihilating the Versaillais at one swoop; and Bohemians presented them selves, with offers of service, ancl cool de mands for posts ajs general or commissary of police; esloftUts flew in at one gate on velocipedes, delivered despatches, and de parted as quickly by another. Glorious rlorra Tknlv flnmflu'liul CnmAU'hRt betraying1 the fuct that the to-morrowe were terribly insecure. Choquard and Marcus.jmshed through a. crowd of petitioners and sightseers, and penetrated into a corps de yarde on the ground floor. Workmen and soldiers touched their caps to tho member of the Commune as ho passed, and wished him MBou jour, citvyeiu" He was a popular rej> resentative?one of those whom they were ready to carry in triumph on the slightest provocation. "Where is tho prisoner?" said Choquard to the lieutenant on duty. "Down stairs. Corporal show tho citi zens to Number Eight, Third Corridor." "Now I'll leave you," said Choquard. "I am bound for the Ministry of War." Marcus followed the Csrporal down a winding stone staircase, threaded the net work of underground windows, and final ly, arrived at Number Eight. There was a noise of laughter and rol licking conversation within, as the door opened; and Marcus coughed inquiringly in h dense crowd of tobacco smoke. It's an underground guard-room," said the corporal. "The prisoners are brought in here before they are questioned." Marcus looked round the room, where eight or ten soldiers, reposing in every conceivable position, save the ordinary recumbent one, were chatting over pipes and wine. He discovered & littlo shriveled figure in a corner, and approached it. Something in its attitude, oue of abject habitual ser vility, made him scan it narrowly. Then he emitted a satisfied "Oh!" It was Monsieur Miehon. "Who captured this manJ" said Marcus, turning to tho soldiers. Michon started at the familiar sound of the voice?but not with relief or hope. "I did, citizen," said it soldier, coming forward. "I'nrtjr what circumstances?" "Well, you see, citizen, I had & Bweet heart, a nursemaid, living at a house where this ft-llow was concierge. Oh, he led us a wretched life the scoundrel! My girl had to send money down into the ! country to her parents. They wore poor lis rats. She got into difficulties, and went I to this concierge. He lent her money in driblets, at about fifty per cent. Then she wus in his net. Sacre bleu! how we starved, both of us, to pay him off! "Wo couldn't. Things got worse and worse. I lie was always threatening to peach to her master. He even advised her to steal ?steal from the people she was eorving? to pay him " "Well, thi3 is bad enough; but It doesn't warrant you in arresting him." "Stop a bit, citizen. I kept my eye up on the rogue. And when I found him at the station, booking for Versailles, I made bold to claim his acquaintance. He didn't like it. He said he was going on an er rand for his mistress. I inquired the na ture of his errand; he wouldn't answer. Then I put my hand in his pocket, and drew out a letter addressed to one of .* inuy a eiau.' "Where id the letter?" said Marcus. The missive was produced. Its super scription was to "Captain Carayon, Aide I de-Uamp, General Vinoy's staff." [ Marcus read it with interest, But the information it yielded was meagre. It was a passionate appeal from Juliet to Francisque, a bold, firm, offer of her fortune, of her life, an outpouring of all | the long pont-up powers of love of an evil woman's naturo. Marcus laid it down, with a bitter smilo i npon his lips. This was part of her pun ishment?only part! He signified to the soldiers that he wished to be alone with the prisoner for a few moments. Thov retired. Then turning to Michon, he said, "You have heard the charge. This letter proves, or denies it?a* I choose. And you and I have a little business to transact beforo you are free." Michou began & trembling supplication. "Stop! I suid business. You su e in the pay of the C'ouutess (lo Chayoilcs?" ' Ves." "She is rich?" "Yes?" "By what meant?!" "By the Count's will, I suppose." "And that will? Oh you Blurt! Yon would not make a pood diplomatist, 11. Jlichon. Your forte is police-spying1." "What, monsieur! you would not " "I would though?would immediately acquaint the Delegate of Police with the fact that M.

"Who were the witnesses?" A cold perspiration broke out on the prisoner's forehead. But at last he an ?^ u\f., t ? O ? c; t'U| nuc cuiu X. *A singular choice, M. Michon! Now, who wrote that will?" The concierge could not see that these weie guesses?could not see that the Jew had 6tnrted from a mere vague eupposi tion of bis own; and had only become sure of the truth of his surmises by the help of what he had extorted from tho pri lie Paw nothing but a wild mob hooting ')??i ?py to death, leveled muskets, his own form propped against a wall; and he bl'irtud out everything.

AW* nuMish elsewhere the Proclnma finn .if (Jovfriuir ('hamberlain mil his iuttor to Judge Carpenter, calling upon the otlicersof the law to enforc< it< execution against the lynchers o the Harmon murderers, and think w< have no reason to complain of the tone and temper of the documents. It is the duty of the chief magis trate of the State to uphold the majes ty of the law. and is not to he expect ed that lie should give prominence t< the circum.-tances of excuse and cx< tenuatioi: if not of justilication which may be urged in behalf of those win. are guilty of its violation. Such ti usurpation of the judicial and execu tive functions of the Government can be justified only on the ground thai the law is powerless to eilect the enii of its institution, and that organized society is on the brink of disintegra tion and dissolution. But this admis sion is not to be expected of those who hold the oilices and exercise the func tions <*f government. To justify lynching is to pass upon themselves the sentence of condemnation, and furnish the best reasons for au abdi cation of their places. But whilst we may stop short 01 justifying the act of the avengers oi the Harmon murder, we may finci much to extenuate the offence in the circumstances over which Governoi Chamberlain passes so lightly?the in security of the jail, and the uncertainty of conviction and punishment whicl has attended the commission of criim in Edgefield. This uncertainty does exist whatever may be said to the con trary, and cannot be gainsayed; ant it grows naturally out o?a state o; things for which we do not hold Gov ernor Chamberlain responsible. \V< believe that he has exercised a propel forbearance in the pardon of crinii t 1 l 1 iL..,. I ? nais, nuu nuu luua uiuu^wi uuuut t much needed reform; but the evil rests upon the shoulders of others ami is past remedy by any executive ac tion. It requires no small provocation to induce some of the best men in c law-abidiugcommunity to usurp the functions of judges and executioners and to mete out capital punishment to murderers. Yet this is what ha< been done in Edgefield, and the verj rarity of the act, furnishes a reason tc seek in the degree of provocation th( element of exense and extenuation, Whatever differences may exist as tc the mode of punishment, there seems to be none as to the guilt of the mur derers, and their ^ust deserts. Since writing uie aoove we wue wiui the Governor has issued another proc lamation which we publish below, Tt is mere brutuin fulman. The pay inent of $200 .for the arrest of each one implicated in lynching would bank rupt the State Treasury. "Whereas Information has been re ceived at this departmant on the 23d day of May last six persons, named Austiu Davis, Stephen Lake, Larkiu Holloway, Jesse Lake, Jefferson Set tles and Marshall Perdu, charged with the murdei of John L.

The South Carolina Delegation ai St. Louis. The Charleston Journal of Com merce states that after a close canvass of the delegation irom mis ?ime u St. Louis, it finds thut so far as tlx preferences of the delegates are con cerned, they are almost if not quit< unanimous in favor of Senator Bay' ard. But this we think has very little tc do with their duty in the premises Bayard doubtless would be the ehoic* of the whole Southern people, bul can he be elected? Availability should be as it doubtless will be, tht governing principle in making the noniinatiou at St. Louis. The all itn portant*matter is to win the election and to secure tbat object, the delega' tion shall ignore individual preleren ces, as they no doubt will, and givt their support to any candidate whe will the develop most strength and pre sent the fairest chances of success.

She hai no caudidate of lier own to propose and is willing to accept any who cai stand on a square Democratic plat form, Tilden or Hendricks is goot enough for the South, and would b her choice, if either receives the noin ination at St. Louis. This is but com mon sense, aud seems to echo the cur rent sentiment of the leading South ern statesmen. The vote of the Southern States will be all controlling both in the nomination and election and we may be sure they will be casi Wltn caiui JUUglUL-Ul uuu wjoc uidvic tion. The chanccs of Mr. Bayard, wc think, are not promising, and it is nol likely that individual preferences and public duty will unite to give him th< support of the delegation as hoped foi in the following paragraph of tht Journal of Commerce. In fact his Southern popularity will likely bt the chief bar to his success: "His services to the South and tc the Democratic party of the nation b.v his outspoken utterances at that timt were great, as they were certainly con sistent with his manly and independ ent course through the whole of his political life. If Mr. Bayard's politi cal strength in the North aud Wesl Hhall appear to be as great as is hit hold upon the affections of our people the South Carolina delegation could not do better th'an give a hearty sup port in the Convention.

Court ney, of Charleston, to show cause wlij he should not be attached for a con tempt, on account of certain alleged libellous publications, reflecting upon Judge Reed and certain members ol the Rur in the matter of the Savan nah and Charleston Railroad. Aftei hearing the report of R. C. Pressly Ksq., referee, the Judge imposes a lint of $100, and the costs of the proceed ing.

The Cincinnatti Convention. The Republican Convention meets to-day at Cincinnati, and whilst its proceedings will be watched with as inueii interest as those of the Demo cratic Convention to as mble at St. Louis, the same doubt st erns to exist as to the names of the fortunate can didates for tlie nomination.

But of late certain damaging charges in connection with Western ! mil load bonds have been made against | Blainr, which he has been unable to j answer, and wlych have destroyed his chances for the nomination. It is thought that Blaine's friends might support Washburne. It seems to be re garded as all importaut to carry the I State of New York and the Ilcralcl j supports Coukling as best able to do so, but Conkliug as yet seems to have developed but little strength. Bris tow is not the choice of the politicians, and stands but a small chance. Some other candidate will likely come to the surface and bear off the palm. Fifty-Four Votes From the North Needed to Elect a Democratic President. ?"Wanted?fifty-four votes," is the way the St. Louis Republican sums up the need of the Democracy. It says. "The Democrats will go into the con test with 131 of the 369 electorial votes assured to them, viz: Alabama, 10; Arkansas, 6; Delaware, 3; Florida, 4; Georgia, il; Kentucky, 12; Louisi ana, 8; Maryland, 8; Missouri, 15; Mississippi, 8; North Carolina, 10; Tennessee, 12; Texas, 8; Virginia, 11; West Virginia, 5?fifteen States, with 131 votes in all. It requires 185 votes to make a majority, so that the Democracy will need 54 votes more than they already have assured to them." The only two candidates the Republican thinks likely to bring the 54 votes to the Democracy are Tilden and Parker, and of the two it consid ers Tilden the stronger. governor unamoerituu's iruciuuiu* tion. Columbia, S. Cm June 5, 1376.? Governor Chnmbelnin has issued the following proclamation upon the sub ject of the lynching of the Harmon murderers: State of South Carolina, ) Executive Chamber, i Official information has reached me that, on the 23d day of May last six persons, named Austiu Davis, Ste Ehen Lake, Larkin Holloway, Jessie jake, Jeflerson Settles aud Marshal Pcrrin, charged with the murder of John L. Harmon and Catharine Har mon, his wife, at a place called Win ter Seat, in lhe County of Edgefield, were forcibly taken from the custody of the Sheriff of Edgefield County by a body of men, numbering several hundred, and immediately shot to death. The murder of Mr. and Mrs. Hnr moo, so far as the evidence produced at the coroner's inquest shows, was coldblooded and fiendish; but the subsequent killing of those charged with this crime by others than officers of the law, and in a manner not au thorized by law, renders every person engaged in the killing a murderer in the eye of the law. No plea of provo cation, or of the necessity for protec tidn and example, can for a moment be admitted to justify such an act. This State is not a new or imperfectty organized community in which con certed violence must sometimes sup plement or supersede the laws. The lawsof this State take notice of all crimes and provide punishment for all criminals. The courts are every where accessible aud frequent. Nor were there special circumstan ces atteuding this affair which could give occasion or excuse for this defi ance and overthrow of the law and its officers. The persons charged with the crime were in the custody of the oflicers of tha law. Escape was im possible. If the county jail was deem ed insecure, the citizens could have guarded it. A term of the Court of General Sessions was close at hand?a court in which the presiding Judge and the juries could not possibly be charged with lenity toward such crimes. No grounds whatever existed for fearing Executive clemency after due conviction. During the term of office of the present Executive no per ti-11- i? SOI1 UUU\IVICU II1U UCC1I JJBI doned, and the sentence of no person so convicted bus been changed by the Executive, except upon the urgent and combined recommendation of court, juries and citizeus. And yet in the face of such facts, six citizens covered by the ajgis of our laws, their persons inviolable from touch or hurt, except by hands of the ministers of the law, have been sum marily, deliberately, openly and ruth lessly slain, without legal trial, with out proper legal scrutiny of the evi dences of their guilt, and without the smallest chance of legal defence. To the horror inspired by the original crime is now added the horror which such lawless vengeance should every where inspire. The peace of society was broken in the first crime; but the supremacy of law was overthrown by the second crime. As the chief Magistrate of the State it is ray dnty to warn my fellow-citi zens of the nature and effects of such resort to violence for the punishment of crime, and to call upon all the offl cers and agents to bring to just ac count! those" who have dared to usurp the awful prerogatives with which lawfully constituted representa tives of Public Justice are alone in vested. In testimony whereof I have hereto set my hand and caused the great seal of the State to be affixed this third day of June, A. D., 1876, and of the Independence of the United States the one hundreth.

Carpenter, Judge Fifth Judicial Circuit: Dear Sir?I enclose for your ex amination a copy of an executive proclamation having reference to the recent killing of six persons in Edge field County, charged by the verdict of coroner's jury with the mxoder of John L. Harmon and his wife in said county. It is ray duty to do all in my power to cause the execution of the laws in all cases of their violation. The courts, and their officers and agents, are of course the chief means for the execution of the laws and the punish ment of crimes. Over the courts I have no control, but in the present in stance I deem it my duty to call your official attention to tho matters em braced in the enclosed proclamation, and to suggest to you, with proper def erence, that the attention of the grand jury of Edgefield County "be di rected to a full examination of the matters referred to, to the end that ju dicial action may be taken as the due execution of the laws may require and the facts of the case muy warrant. It having been brought to my atten tion that two women, named Matilda Holloway and Bettie Perrin, who were charged by the coroner's jury as accessories to the murder, are still at large, and that other persons still liv ing probably connected with the crime, to a greater or less degree, I beg leave to suggest that measures should be adopted to bring these per sons before the court, to'be dealt with according to law. fn all possible ways It will be my duty.to assist your Honor in this most extraordinary and painful affair. Very respectfully, your obediant ser vant, D. H. CHAMBERLAIN, Ce Th tin ] fie Fe dei sei rof rJ Ca otl Th To f Co th< un< Se< ( FIl Mi rer H. ( wa itt, fie] ( a \ toi ? un tin ( tin pr< ] ha Bu ri bri 1 by S .Governor South Carolina, lm The Registration of Voters. General Gary, .of Edgefield, takes i ground, in a recent letter to Gen ii Conner of Charleston, that the ,nt of registration makes all elec ns null and void. He asks: :s not the failure of the Legislature provide for Registration a change as a material Constitutional qualifica n of electors ? Is it not such a ange and modification of a Consti ional qualification, as to render all ctions held without registration 11 and void ? In the case of People Kopplekom?16 Mich lleports, je 342, it is held that vrhen regis tion is a qualification prescribed by ) Constitution, an election in a vnship where no such registration 3 ever been made, will be void, and mot be sustained by making proof it none in fact but duly qualified ctors have voted. It would seem o it the absence of a registration tl v, such as is required by the present ti nstitution, makes every election h Id without it, necessarily illegal and id. In June 1808. there was a reg- f.( ration of voters of this State, but ce then it has fallen into disuse, by > Legislature failing to provide for ' "from time to time." Transportation to Philadelphia^ V great many are talking of leaving a few days for the centennial. If i railroads would reduce ,the fare ry low a great many would go, and one would be hurt, for without a luction they will not go.?Greenville yws. rhe same complaint is made here, zens of young men, of limited :ans, would letwe during the dull >nths, but all justly gramble at the jh rate. Unless the road reduce the e considerably this impoverished :tion will not be represented at the tional exposition." Can any rail id man tell the people why the fare Philadelphia and return cannot be luced to figures in the ratio of those arged to the Fort Moultre centenni which is little more than one irth the usual price charged.? Union raid. rhe present excursion rates are only rsr cent, lower than the usual rates unless they are lowered the at idance at Philadelphia will be slim. The Democratic Platform. Xp' rhe Nashville American, the latest ition of which contains a supple jilt made up entirely of "quoted iding matter' in favorof Gov. Hen cks, has the following paragraph: rhere is one thing which our Demo* ttic friends of the Tilden stripe ap lr to forget when they confidently im the nomination of Gov. Tilden. is this: There will be no ballot for andidate for the Presidency until 3 platform is reported ana adopted, the Convention declares in favor of i repeal of the Resumption act Mr. [den will refuse to permit his name go before the Convention, as he is rdged to "take no step backward" far as specie resumption is con ned. If the Convention should re le to declare for the repeal of the ?cie resumption act, there would be ard the sound of retreating footsteps ?r about Ohio and the parts adja it. Remember, the fight is first up the platform. The result of that 11 determine Gov: Tilden's fate be e a ballot ie taken. ^s the Augusta Constitutionalist re irks, it is not probable that the fire uid of the specie question will be ,roduced at all into the Convention, t it is most jiKeiy mm wie tuuvcu n will confine itself to the declara n of those great principles of its licy which will unite all its mem rs. It is now no time for division, ten united counsels can alone se re the victory. Circular About the Taxes. The following circular, issued by the mptroller-General, we publish public information: [n view of the recent decisions by 2 various Circmit Courts, the follow ; instruction is furnished for the idanceof each County Treasurer: Where bills of theBankof the State ve been tendered for the State taxes 1875, you will suspend all proueed ru fnr nnllontinrr flip same bv diS 88, execution and eale, aud report this office a detailed statement of i amounts of State taxes ho held in eyance.

Raudolph Tuck of Virginia, in an interview with a )orter of the Baltimore Gazette, ikes the following strong uttterance. eaking of the St. Louis C'ouven n, he savs: "The South will be ere ; as I hope and believe, as the lowers of no man.
