1I0W 2XDirc? CTflK MEAT AND
'UKES8 SKINS.
"When her lord has killed a buffalo :
the woman's .work begins, She has to i j
skin it, the meat to secure, and all to .
pack upen ponies or mules, and carry
to camp, where the meat must be {
cured. This is done by cutting it into \
thin sheets, and hanging It over pole3 i
in the &ot sunshine, whore it is soon J
dried thoroughly; then it is packed 1
fresh m packages of about one hun- J
rtred pounds eacn, and mciosea in a
nico ^folding sack of thick buffalo
skin, r prepared especially for the pur
pose. This Js not dressed down thin
after' being fleshed, but well tanned,
and>*t>f the full thickness of the skin;
tl?e hair side nicely ornamentod with
T?aift.f, -for the outside of the sack.
This iis cut out like a huge envelope,
eo Ibbat the ends and sides will fold
over \whatever is put In them, and se
cured :by strong buckskin strings. By
being thick it retains Its form, and is
very - useful for carrying other things
besides meat and tallow. After the
meat: is taken care of the skin must
be looked after. Those taken at this
season .of the yen.r are mostly dressed
lor; lodges. *rney are nrst staKea op
a smooth spot of ground, and water
put upon them, when they are roady
ton fleshing. This consists in remov
ing the flesh with an instrument made
of i a straight bar of iron, about a foot
in' length, flatte ned at one end and
lilKkto an edge. This being gras}>ed
intake hand, and a succession of quick [ ^
btows given, tlie work slowly pro- j1
cecils. The skin Is then dried, after j
which the hair is removed io a dry j ?
state, and tho skin reduced to the U
prpvw thickness by dressing down on v
the ;ha.ir side. This is done with an f
insfemioent made by firmly tying a a
flatpioce of steel, filed to a beveled
edge at one end, and with the corners
rounded, to a large prong of a deer's
horn. This is so trimmed, in oonnec
with the body of the horn, as to form
nn. -elbow, and is used a little as a car
penter uses his adze. This work is
usually done in the cool of the morn
ing. The brains oftho animal, hav- "
Ing been properly taken care of for ?
the purpose, are now goakod and ; s
squeezed by the hand until reduced to ; j
a paste, and applied to both sides of; t
tlio skin, which is afterward worked o
and rubbed until flexible. The pre- s
p*ration of robes is from winter c
6kins, and differs from the foregoing a
only in being dressed down on the j
liesh side, so as to leave the wool and r
hair upon the robe, and Is more thor- c

S*o;t everyone Is aware that the. j
wood used by engravers is the growth j t
of; those far away regions around tho|?
and 'Caspian Seas, the very j (
nemos of the ports from which it is ! i
shipped being unfamiliar. Very few' t
who consider themselves trood creocra--! i
pliers have ever heard of Poti, or Ab- j8
luissia, or Tzaritsin, and yet these are j1
nourishing commercial towns, reached '.
by the way of the Golden Horn of Con

For all fine engravings, Turkey box- j
wood is used, and as its quality c
varies much, somo skill is necessary a
tofa good selection. The best is of a t
d^lkate yellow color, clear and free 8
from spots; It cuts smoothly and 1
evenly, with no crumbling nor j*
tearing, but every line cut will be j ^
l^cfcot. j E
It is to The use of this wood by our v
artists that the superiority of their dc-1 r
signs and wood-engravings must in a! c
grtjat measure be attributed. In con-1 ti
sequence of its scarcity and high' v

is made; and there are factories iu

The Democratic Prospect.
The Xetos and Courier makes hii In* j
cresting estimate of the chances of|
he I>eiuoerats iu the present National!
ttriiKK't', based upon the last election I
eturns in the several States, and ar
rives at very hopeful conclusions.
Twelve States" composing Alabama,
Arkansas, Delaware, Georgia, Ken
tucky, Maryland, Missouri, North!
r'mviiinn 'iVniifssec. Texas. Virginia, I
iiid West Virginia, with one huudred
did eleven electoral votes are ranked
is Democratic.
The States of California, Connecti
cut, Illinois, Indiana, Conneotiout,
Louisiana, Mississippi, .Nevada,
New Jersey, New York and
Oregon, with ono hundred and
fourteen electoral votes, are put down
is doubtful; but they all went Dem
cratic at the last olectiou and if they
diould do ?o again would give two
lundred and twenty-live electoral
rotes, or forty-one more than the one
lundred and eighty four necessary to
i choice.
Of these States put down as doubt
ul, California gave last full a Demo
rratic majority of over 30,000 ; Neva
la at the last election gave a pemo
;ratic majority of 3,500; Oregon 1,200,
tnd we may safely nut these twelve
lectoral votes of the three Paoific
Slates to the credit of the Democrats.
Connecticut for four years has gone
Democratic, and last year polled for
r ? t T\ l ? _ i . ! On/1
Lii^einoji i% vciuwiwui; \ uic ui (ai,vw,
arger tlmu any Republican vote ever
>olled. Illinois, two years ago gave a
Majority of 25,000 against the Kepub
ieana. Indiana has gone Democratic
U every election since 1868, except for
President four yearn ago, when 25,000
Democrats refused to vote for Ureeiey.
Louisiana, Mississippi and New Jer
ley are confident of Democratic suc
[es.ses.
New York gave Tilden 50,317 major
ty for Governor two years ago, and
Bigelow, Democrat, for Secretary of
state, 14,810 majority last year.
Doubtless tbe local dissensions last
rear among the Democracy contribu
ed largely to tbe reduction of the
Democratic majority in the State.
Bjgelow's majority in the City of New
fork was 13,000 less than Tilden's
majority of 1874. There was a ditTer
nce of 5,000 in the majority of Tilden
ir??l Uliralnur in KillirR. Here 18 a
arge part of the falling off from Til
lenden's majority of 1874 accounted
or. But this year .Tilden is agaip a
?ndidate, the party is united and en
husiastic for him, he will call out the
ast Democratic vote, and we may
lope for his usual majority. Since
he war the State of New York has
;one Democratic seven times and Re
tublican twice. One of the latter in
tanccs was due to the dissatisfaction
if thousand* of Democrats with the
audidature of Mr. Greeley. To use
he wordsofUovernor Seymour: "New
fork is naturally a Democratic State."
t will be our own fault if we lose it.
This estimate leaves out of the eal
ulution the States of Pennsylvania.
)hio, Wisconsin, New Hampshire and
'iorida, with their seventy electoral
otes which with the exoeption of
'lorida, went Democratic two years
go. The prospect certainly looks
. ell on paper, and with a proper effort
n the part of all, and due forbearance
specially at the South, may end iu
be desired sure* ss.
'he Public Sentiment in the State.
The tfewa and Courier has sent a
pecial staft' correspondent of the pa
ier, R. gleans Davis, Esq., to the up
ountry, to learn the prevailing Cou
ervative sentiment with regard to the
ending political issues, and he finds
hat whilst ail honest men are in favor
f reform, there is every possible
hade of opinion as to the best mode
f carrying on the campign. There
ire extreme "straight-outs" who are
opposed to all affiliation with Repub
icans; again there are more moderate
nen of the same class, who look upon
^operation as impolitic, but would
upport it, if in their view it afforded
my assurance of success; again there
H tbe class of co-operationists who
lrge affiliation not from choice, but in
hair view from necessity?prefering n
rnlf loaf to the danger of risking all;
ind again there is a fourth class who
ire disposed to ignore party lines and
o sustain Governor Chamberlain, and
(Vuiiufnllv uniJ InuHv tllAfA {ft
he large class who have not yet made
ip their minds, but are waiting to
ihape their course by the exigencies of
lie future.
The correspondent thus conclude*
lis Columbia letter:
"I have sketched, as nearly as (can,
he phases of popular opinion that 1
inve found existing here. Numeri
:ally, I should judge, the people are
ibout equally divided between the
wo policies, with three dillerent
hades. In Columbia, the co-opern
ionists appear to predominate, while
he Straight-outs are stronger in the'
ountry; above Columbia and at
rrenholm's, lower down, the more
noderate counsels would seem to pre
ail. But I should say that a large
uajoritv of the voters are open to
onvictfon, and will labor with the
najority in the State. Teach them
t"hat will win! That, just now, is the
erplexing question. And a few
oore weeks must elapse before Rich-.
?nd County may be properly said to
lave adopted any well |delined and
ositive policy."
8ince writing the above from Co
umbia, the correspondent has visited
Vinnsboro and Chester and flnds the
ame division of sentiment as to the i
?st mode of achieving success. In
Chester especially the prevailing sen
iment seems to be strongly in favor of
, comproniite?-the acceptance of Gov
rnor Chamberlain as a measure of
>olicy and a division of the County
ffleea.
The prospects of * compromise in
Chester are at present very good. A
ommitteeof the Conservatives met a
ommittee of Republicans a few day*
in.ce, and the latter offered a member
f tjoe House, the sheriff, a county
ommissioner aud the selection of a
olicjtor for the Sixth circuit. The
Joj**crvatives demanded two ^mem
iera of the Legislature instead of one,
iut will refer the proposition to the
ouuty meeting in August. Each
ts own candidates, and exercise no
-nice whatever in selecting the notn
nees of the other party.
The whole matter will be determin
d by the Democratic county meeting
rhlch will be held on the first Mon
ay of August, when a definite policy <
fill be determined. i
The Hamburg Affair.
Our Southern exchanges generally
iiiite in condemning the hasty resort i
u mob-law in Hamburg and especial
y tbe killing of defenceless prisoners,
rheu they were at the mercy of the
aptors.
There seems to bare been nothing in
he first offence, nor in the later mili
ary display, to have called forth so
xtreme a measure, as the attempt toji
isarm the colored military company.; i

Ibutive justice, which provoked if it 1

Itis roj>orted that Whipper has qual
ified as Judge of the first Circuit, and
has gone on to Washington.
The original commission of Judge
Reed, for the unexpired teiuiof Judge
Graham, would have expired at mid
night ou August 25th next, and it is al
that time that YVhipper's term of foui
years, as lie claims, will begin. Bui
JudgeJleed has been duly commission
ed as judge, under the constitution
or tour years iruui ijecemuer 11,

sustained by the whole power of tht
State Government and the strong arir
of her white citizeus. At least then
Is no doubt of the determination o
the latter; and as Governor Chamber
lain has refused to commission Whip
per on the ground that Ids election ii
unconstitutional and void, we may ex
peet him to sustain his decision witl
the whole force of the State militii
and if need be to call for aid from tin

and pertinacious, but lie can no
achieve muoh success in a coutest witl

states that ho attended to the case be

Governor Tilden's Acceptance o
the Democratic Nomination.
New York, July 12.?The commit
tee appointed by the St. Louis Con
vention waited on Governor Tilden
to-day. Gen. McOlernard addressed
the Governor, outlining the work 01
the Convention, and the Hon. W. B,
Hauna, of Indiana, also addressed
Governor Tilden, pledging him the
united support of the Indiana Democ
racy.
The following reDlv wob then made
by Governor Tilden
Gen. McClcrnard, and Gentleman oj
the Committee: I shall at my earliest
convenience prepare and transmit tc
you a formal acceptance of the nomi
nation which you now tender me, in
behalf of the Democratic Rational
Convention, and I do not desire on
this occasion to anticipate any topic
which might be appropriate to that
communication. It may, however, be
permitted to me to say that my nomi
nation was not a mere personal prefer
ence between eminent citizens of this
Republic, who might very well have
been chosen for so distinguished an
honor and so august a duty. It was
rather a declaration of that illustrious
tjody, in whose behalf you speak, in
favor of administrative reform with
which events had associated me in the
public view. The strength, the uni
versality and the efficiency of the de
mand for administrative reform in all
governments, and especially in the ad
ministration of the Federal Govern
ment. with which the Democratic
masses everywhere were instinct, have
ed to a series of surprises in the pop
ular assemblages, and, perhaps, in tne
Convention itself. It "would be un
natural, gentlemen, if a popular gov
ernment, so genuine and so powerful
should stop with 3.500,000 of Demo
crats ; that it should not extend bj
contagion to that large mass of indo
peudapt voters, who stand betweer
parties iu our country, and even to tht
moderate portion of the party undei
whose administration the evils to b(
jorrected have grown up; and perhaps
in what we have witnessed there rnaj
L>e an augury in respect to what w<
may witness in the election about t<
lake place throughout our country
At least let us hope *o, and believe so
I am not without experience of th<
difficulty and the labor of effecting ad
ministrative reform, when it require*
a revolution in policies and in meas
ures long established in the govern
uient. If I were to judge by the yea
and and a half in which I have beei
iu the State Government, I should sa^
that the routine duties of the trust J
have had imposed on me are a smal
burden compared with that created bj
the attempt to change the policy o
the government of which I have beei
the executive head. Especially iB thii
so when the reform is to be worke<
out with more or less of the co-opera
tion of public officers who either lmvi
been tainted with the evils to be re
dressed, or who have been incapacita
leu uy me nuuit ui luitrjuuug un
wrongs to be corrected, and to whicl
they nave been consenting witnesses
[, therefore, if your choice should hi
ratified by the people at the election
.should enter upon the great dutie:
which would fall upon me not as :
holiday, but very much in that spiri
of consecration in which the soldie
enters battle. [Applause.] But let ui
believe, as I do believe, that we nov
see the dawn of a better day for on
country, and that difficult as is thi
work to which the Democratic party
with many allies formerly members o
other parties, has addressed itself, tlx
republic is yet to be renovated to llv?
in all the future, and to be transmitte<
to succeeding generations as Jeflereor
contributed to form it in his day, am
as it has been ever since until a recen
period?a blessing to the whole peopli
and to all mankind. [Applause.]
Geutlemen, I thank you forthe ven
kind terms in which you have mad*
your communication, and 1 extend t<
you collectively and individually i
most cordial greeting.

then entered into a social convcrsatiot
as to the prospects of the comtnj

Serenade to Gen. McGowan
AN ABLE AND ELOQUENT DIS
COURSE.
The Abbeville Silver Cornet Band,
on last "Wednesday night, gave a com
plimentary serenade to our distin
guished townsman, Gen. McGowan,
upon his return from the St. Louis
Convention, which called forth one of
the General's happiest efforts, occu
pyiug Borne half hour In the delivery.
He said he was grateful to his neigh
bors and friends for the oompliraeut of a
i serenade. After struggling through the
duat and heat incident to a ride of fifteen
hundred miles in this "hot term," it
was delightful to reach home, and that
delight was greatly enhanced by this
kiud reception. He would rather have
the respect and love of his neighbors
than any office in the gift of the people.
After going round the world he was
pleased to feel that "there is no place
like home." He said he thought the
St. Louis Convention was the finest
body of men that ever assembled on this
continent. There were representatives
there from every State and territory of
this broad land?from the lakes to the
gulf, and from ocean to ocean. As the
area represented was large, so the pur*
r^uoa u-prn Mthnlin and Datriotic. That
r assembly represented the better half of
? the whole nation, he thought the nu
*' merical majority, but certaiuly the bet
ter half of it, as to correctness of prin
ciple, honesty and justice to their un
fortunate fellow-citizens of the South.
They were there, not rich in the spoils
" of office, not dripping with "crooked
, whiskey," nor rolling in the ill-gotten
I wealth of peculation and plunder, but
f as simple citizens, animated only by
: one common DurDOse to rescue the
country from impending ruin and to
hurl from power the most incompetent,
arrogant and corrupt administration
which has ever in God's providence
afflicted this fair land. Alarmed for
the safety, indeed, the very existence,
of our institutions, these good men mus
tered at St. Louis. As the purpose was
noble so the place was appropriate?a
magnificent city on the western bank of
the father of waters, and about the centre
of the greatest valley of the world. As
the telegraph informed you the Conven
tion adopted a platform of principles the
burden of which is Reform ! Reform! !
Reform !!! And with the utmost har
mouy and enthusiasm placed upon it as
our standard-bearers, Samuel J. Tiiden,
of New York, [Cheers] and Thomas A.
Hendricks, Qf Indiana, [Renewed
Cheering] and with them, under Provi
dence. we hope to sweep the country
with a whirlwind qf resistless success !
After these preliminary remarks Gen
eral JtfcGowau spo^e jo stibstance as
follows:
My fellow-citizens, the skies are
heightening. The day is breaking qfter
a long, dark and dreary nightT We
have reached a turning point in our po
litical condition. It is now more than
ten years since the war ended, and that
decide has undoubtedly been the most
disgraceful in rf>ur nistory. Perhaps it
was to be expected. After the priva
tipfts and excitements of civil war, there
is always a re-action ; a period of love of |
ease, love of wealth and of luxury, and:
thesp bring in their train demoraliza
tion. During the last ten years the
vices Byways incident to a restoration,
arrogance, injustice, oppression, vain
glory, revenge, extravagance and cor
ruption, have flourished and grown
rank! The administration of the gov
ernment has been exclusively in the
hands of those who considered them
selves, par exccllencc, the saviours of
the country. They had rendered more
or less service in crushing what was
called the rebellion, and like the minis
> ters of Charles II, after the old restora
tion, they seemed to think that as a re
' ward for their services, they were en
? titled to steal all they could lay their
' hands on from that country which they
1 claim to have saved! MacCaulay's ac

I Monarch nflght stand as a picture of our
own administration since tbe war:
e "Politics was regarded not as a science,
' of which the object is the happiuess of
~ mankind, but as an exciting game of
L> mixed chance and skill at which a dex
1 trous and lucky player may win.
Ambition, which in good times and in
- good minds is half a virtue, now dis
joined from every elevated sentiment
u _ -.Ifl.L 1.4X4? 1U4l> 1
uecoioeb a seiusu uupiun,^ ume ie&a
* ignoble than avarice itself." Do you
t uot recognize the picture? Offices have
r been sought and won not for merit aud
s virtue, but by loud professions of
DEVOTION TO PARTY,
r
f and when got used only to enrich the
lucky aspirants and all their kith aud
f kin, lineal and collateral. This spirit
? of making of public office private prop
e erty and of covering roguery under the
j mantle of patriotism, has permeated the
j great masd of officials from the highest
j to the lowest. The case of the late Sec
t retary of War is not exceptional. Others
j. are believed to be even worse than Bel
knap. The leprosy is epidemic. Offi
f cial corruption is rank aud rampant.
? An immense host of officers and office
j nuoters cover iae earm as uie waiers
i cover the bosom of the great deep. Like
dwarrns of locusts in Egypt, or grass
9 hoppers in the West, consuming, olast
, ing and withering every thing on the
r face of God's green earth:
l "Innumerable! as when the potent rod
. Of Amraiu's son, in Egypt's evil day
Waived round th? coast. up culled a pitchy cloud
Of locusts, warping on tbo eastern wind
That o'er the rualm of Impious Pharaoh hung
Like night, and darkened all the land of Nile."
All tliis state of things, bad as it is,
has been aggravated ten-fold in the
- States of the South. This can be under
^ stood when to the general demoraliza
tion isaddedthe painful but well-knowu
- fact that as a general rule in the South
em States the o fll c i a 1 s have
1 been ignorant and incompetent, and
- actually inimical to the people whom
they pretend to govern, but in fact rob
- and oppress! As far as the poor South
I is concerned, the whole thing has been
1 regarded as something like a "pious
? fraud," allowable, indeed praiseworthy,
" as against "those lately in rebellion."
- The administration of public affairs in
' this poor State, with rare exceptions, has

tion. We have bod a hideous night
mare of vulgarity, injustice, extortion,
bribery and corruption. What a rich
field for the political bummers and
gleaners was attbrded by the plains of
the poor, prostrate South. Everything
in confusion from the recent overthrow
in the war?the property of late rebels
lying around loose and a victorious
party fo cover and back everything
done in its name!!
STEALING IN THE NAME OF REPUBLI
CANISM.
More stealing has been done in the
South in the name of Republicanism
than should damn an hundred parties.
When protest was made it was smoth
ered, by the eternal cry of "Republican
ism !" "Republicanism !!" The good
people in their anguish have often been
compelled to cry aloud in the words of
Madame Rotund on her way to the
guillotine, "Oh, liberty, how many
crimes have been committed in thy
name!"
The people of the United States have
been tolerant, patient and long-suffer
ing to a fault. They did not compre
hend the thing in all its hideous dimen
sions. The facte, which neither hypoc
racies nor the cry of republicanism can
longer cover, are now being exposed to
f>ublic view and X say, with the most
ntense earnestness, that if there Is In
telligence, virtue and patriotism enough
left in the country, the masses prill rise
in their majesty and overcrow this gi
gantic incubus. They will in self
defence, expel from office t?is motley
horde, who have speculated iu loud
professions of patriotism, and mean
while, fattened upon their substance.
A decade of sacK and plunder should
suffice! By the help of heaven and the
great democratic party it must end!!
THE HOUR OK DOOM

must be hurled from office. The time
for a happy change has come in tlris
Centennial Year of our Lord 157G,
which makes its advent over the trou

of peace and rest. As the blessed hours
pass they should constantly remind us

the revolution, and should be brimfull

.A CARD.
Metar*. Editors .?In Justice to L. D. Bowie,
clcrk of the court, I wish to correct an Impres
sion that was put out at the radical powwow
the other day by ex-school commissioner Win.
Pressly, who was Indicted at the last court for
"arson.'' The ?harge made by Prcssly was
"that they, the negroes, had put Bowie In office
and tlmi he had engaged tbo most extreme
young democrat In the county to do business
for him; that the negroes who went Into his
offioe on business were not treated right, that
they went In with fear and trembling and got
out as quick as possible." Men do not act with
out motives. *The reason why this ex-school
commissioner made Jheso false statements was
at the last term of the court three negroes were
ordered from the court room and Pressly was
among the number. The facta which led to the
peremptory ordering of the three negroes from
the court room qt the May tenn were as fol
lows:
No. 1 was Pressly. He came around to f,he
. . '? > - a i-? ~ UaU,,,,! .. ?
CierK'H UIDIO U11U uhkcu lur a nuivcb uuiunKu h
to one of his school boys. ThoJudue had Ju?i
passed the sentences. I was recording tho sen
tence of Coleman. I told him to call Into In the
evening as I could n'qt stop recording sentence*
to All out tlckots ijnlesn the party lived out of
town. Ho remarked "I want to know why the
devil you can't wait on me; you wnlt on white
people." I told him to ? hut up and th?tl would
glVB him two minutes ? tret out cf the room
and ho went out. The next morning ho came
up and clvljly asked for the ticket and cot It.
That evening the father of the boy came In the
olllce and inquired the "amount the ticket that
Pressly gq? for his boy called for." I told him
three dollars; he said "my boy only received
tw? dollars." Ho went out and I suppose I'rees
ly paid hiiri the other dollar. Compient is un
necessary."
No. 2, ex-member of the legislature, E. Cain,
who was Indicted a few months ago for rapo
anil assault and battery with Intent to kill. Tne
question was raised by ub as to whether o, per
son could receive pay as a witness and Juror tho
same day. I referred the matter to Judge Car
penter and ho decide^ that the Stale paid the
party SI M a day to act ay Juror, and If she
wished to put him on tho st^nd or send hlin
before the grand Jury she had a right to do so
without paying lilm extra. About the tlmo the
oartv who was contending that he had a fight
lo double pay the Judge wine In. 1 rpmariceu :
Here Judgo Is the man who complains or in
justice. Ttc Judge deliberately walked up to
him and said "you can take your ohoieq; you
cau have 8-1-00 per day as a witness or you can
have 81 JO per day as ajuror, but you can't have
both," and looking at him in his peculiar way
remarked: "My friend, judging by your looks,
it will take you all the time toTOake a compe
tent Juror." This brought down the house.
Cain heard of these questions being raised and
came up as a cnamplon for his race, giving us
to understand we had no rielit to ventilate nny
such qapstlons cutting tho negroes out of their
moncj% We told him, although to had acted
in tho capacity ofa law-maker, he did not know
anything about tho law in regard to the clerk
paying out money aud tliat he had our pennls
sion to leave the room.
No. 3, Virgil Madden, who was sentenced to
the penitentiary for ton years by Judge Orr for
highway robbery and pardoned by our young
native robber Governor F.J. Moses, Jr., would
act as guardian to the groen horn jurors aud
witnesses from the country; he would show
them where to get their tickets; he would show
thom Mr. Blythe to approve it; he would show
them Mr. Jones to get It checked; be would
show them Mr. Tolbcrt to get it cashed; he
would show them the ben place to trade, what
they paid hlfli fqr bis trouDie i neuncr kuow or i
cure. I only know In piloting one olu woman
around he insinuated that I was trying to cheat I
her out of hor ticket, and lie was given to un-1
derstand that court could be curried on without
his help and to leave. J. Y. JONES.t
THE HAMBURG ROW.
Public Opinion in Augusta.
When we wrote the article on the
troubles in Hamburg, which appeared
Sunday miorning, we had not heard of
of the fate of the prisoners, or
we should have condemned in fitting
phrase their cruel and unnecessary
murder. There is some excuse to be
made forlthose who, in hot blood and
in the midst of battle, shot down the
men who had killed their comrade.l
But that comrade's death had been
amply and bloodily avenged. There
is no extenuation of the butchery of
unarmed and helpless captives. In
real war such a deed would receive the
execration of all civilized nations.
How much more should it be reproba
ted when no state of war exists;
when a fight between two raees; has
been precipitated, and when the vic
tors have gained all for which they
fought. The company had been at
tacked, demoralized and dispersed.
Many of the guns had been captured
and mauy of its members made pris
oners. Two of them had been kill
ed and one of the lieutenants mortally
wounded. Was not this enough?
What more was to be accomplished by
killing frightened anu aeienceiess cap
tives? The knowledge that some of
thoye killed were not ?ven members of
the company deepen's the darkness of
the picture.?AuguBta Chronicle and
Sentinel.
The First Echo From the North.
The negroes and whites are having
another emeute in the South, this time
at Hamburg, opposite Augusta, Oa.
It seems a silly thing to drag a lot of
negroes before a court for obstructing
the roads when they were merely
playing soldier on the Fourth of July,
and it is thoroughly reprehensible that
armed whites should support the un
asked power of the magistrate while
the cause was on trial. The negroes
cannot be justified in their petty war
fare auy more than the whites; but
the affair seems to indicate that in parts
of the South there is one line of con

Bloodshed in the South?How to
Elect Hayes aad Wheeler.
We have a series of dispatches from
Augusta, Ga., describing a conflict be
tween a militia composed of negroes
and a white company, which accord
ing to the report, assembled for the
purpose of compelling this negro com
pany to respect the decision of a ne
gro judge. The reasons leading to
this collision are given with that vague
ness which generally characterizes de
spatches from the South detailing any
quarrel between blacks and whites, a
vagueness which may be attributed in
most cases to the fact that the whites
write the narratives, while the negroes'
are killed. The practical point in
this South Carolina quarrel is that the
militia negro company was dispersed
with canister; that at two in the
morning "fpur prisoners wore shot"
and the resit released ; that the full ex
tent of casualties are unattainable, but
that our correspondent "counted one
white man and six negroes dead."
"One white man and six negroes
dead" is||about the fair average^in
these disturbances. Is it any wonder
that Senators like Morton raise the
bloody shirt? Is it any wonder that
peaceful men in the North mourn over
this bloodshed and ask if there can be
law and order where public opinion
justifies those outbreaks? We await
with deep interest the full details of
this new contest. So far aB the report
now goes it looks as if these Southern
white madmen had resolved to elect
Hayes and Wheeler. They are doing
yeoman's service in Augusta. One or
two Hamburg riots will settle the bu
siness.? New York Herald.
The Right Man in the Right
Place.?The rumor that Sitting Bull
proposes to run as the conservative
candidate for Mayor in Hamburg, S.
