IL77TTT*'" "V"""" The Press and Banner. Wednesday, April 18,1877. The Lowndesvihe Prisoners. The following dispatch was received on Monday, which explains itself: Columbia, April 1G, 1877. To Joshua Y. Jones, Esq., SherW. The Lowndesvillc prisoners arc respited for two weeks. Pupere go to-morrow. WADE HAMPTON, Governor. The matter of disposing of these criminals is everywhere talked of in this county, and every shade of sentirueut lias been expressed by our citizens. The sentiment now seems to be divided into three classes, and the lines have been and are being pretty well drawi?. From the best information that we can gather we believe the public sentiment may be divided as follows: First?A majority *of the Lowndesville township, and various citizens of the different sections of the county, are in favor of the execution of the whole number. Second?A large number think that the execution of a less number would Aatisfy the demand of justice and the law, better than the execution of the whole ten. Third?There are also a large nura \ber In favor of the commutation of the sentence of all the prisoners. It is quite a mistake to suppose that the people of Lowndesville are unaiii7/ioxis iu their opinions. We have heard the names of some as good men in that vicinity as live in Abbeville county, who are opposed to extreme measures. The Jury who found the verdict of guilty are, so we are informed, unanimous for the commutation oi the sentence of a portion of tliein, while Some, including Col. Law, the foreman of the Jury, are anxious to have the sentence of the whole of them commuted to imprisonment. Judge Cooke, has written a letter to the-Governor recommending the exercise of Executive clemency in behalf of six of the condemned prisoners, lie bases his discrimination upon the evidence, which he has carefully reconsidered ; and also upon the representation of the jury. Last week the Governor wrote to Gen. McGowau asking for the evidence in the case taken in the trial of these men and we presume they have been respited in order that the Governor may have ample time to carefully examine the facts brought outat court. The Governor, sofar as we are informed has not yet determined on the final action which he will take in the premises, but it is known that lie leans to the side of mercy, and it is surmised that not more than half of them will suffer thp extreme penalty of the law. Whatever Hampton may do, we shall be satisfied. He has made fewer mistakes and kept his head nearer level than any man during the campaign, and we are willing to trust to the judgment of him who has lead us to a glorious victory. We shall not complain at whatever he may deem best, and we are sure what* ever he does will beon his cool, deliberate and honest convictiou. We all know that Hampton never gets excited and never "goes off half-cocked." lie will read the evidence closely, and we venture to say the country will endorse his conclusions. Sheriff Jones has made all his arrangements for the execution. Xessrs. Seal & Sign, under contract have made the colllns, and yesterday commenced the erection of the scaffold. N Monday when tlie Sheriff read the telegrapbje dispatch from the governor to the prisoners he stated to them that none were relieved of the sentence but that tlie reprieve was only to allow the Governor to have time to examine their case, which greatly pleased the unfortunate creatures. I Oue of their number said "We are glad that General Hampton is going to take time. That is what we did not do up yonder. If General Hampton thinks we have violated the lawenough to be hung we won't say a word. We know he will treat us rigkt and give us justice." A month ago they expressed great desire to have "General Hampton" look into /their cases, and have hoped for severall weeks that the "General" would turn his attention to their case. They seemed to know by instinct that Mr. Chamberlain could fnrnish no relief, as they thought they would have 4>een lynched even if he had interposed in their behalf; but they*feel assured that all tbe people will be satisfied with what <S?vernor Hampton MUlT Tlio Ck fant !ah /\f fl>a rvn 1 Inino * */ a iiv vivvnwn v/i tiic ^aiivno however, in full view* of the prisoners had a very depressing effect upon them yesterday. We append below the remarks of the Journal nf Cvmmccc and the Newt and Courier on the subject: The Lowndesville Prisoners.? The communication from an Abbeville correspondent of the Journal of Commerce which suggested that Governor Hampton might find sufficient excuse to to commute the sentences of some of the negro fiends who are under sentence of death for the killing of Mr. Clayton Allen, near Lowndenville, seems to have provoked the unnecessary ire of some of our Abbeville readers. We agree with all of the gentlemen who have published cards upon the subject, that the prisoners were fairly tried, justly sentenced, and that all of them deserve death; but "Rusticus" goes a little too fur, we think when he says "if Governor Hampton would have this community to respect tho majesty of the law, he must let the sentence of the law be executed.-'?Journal of Commerce. The Lowndesvillk Prisoners.? We have read what has been said for and against the commutation of the sentence of six or seven of the Lowndesville prisoners. They had an impartial trial, and the verdict was justified by the evidence. Nevertheless, we cannot forget that the bloody deed was done at a time of great excitement, when the administration of the law and the abuse of the pardoning Eower were such as to encourage crime, y holding out, to colored criminals in particular, the expectation of ultimate escape. Enough of those condemned will certainly be hanged to vindicate the outraged majesty of the law. More than this is unnecessary and unwise. We have entire confidence in the judgment of Governor Hampton; but we earnestly hope that lie will turn a favorable car to the prayer for mercy, and grant the commutation that is prayed for.? Netcs and Courier. Governor Hampton's March. We have received from Ludden c? Bates' Southern Magazine House, Savaunah, Ga., a fine march by the popular composer, E. Mack, which is named in honor Caroiina's noble sou Gov. Wade Hamptou, and without doubt will have an extended sale throughout the South. The puplishers have given it an elegautly designed title page, with a life-like lithograph, which the Governor's countless admirers will be delighted to obtain. Prof. Weigand, leader of the famous Post Band at Charleston, has arranged this March for Brass Bands and it will soon be played generally by the bands of the South. Copies for piano will be for gale at all Music Stores.?Price 40 cents. ' The Press Association. We see it stated that journalists who are not members are invited to unite with this Association. Applications are to be made in writing, accompanied with the initiation fee of five doliars. The idea of a poor printer ever getting five dollars rather heads us. Some time ago Mr. John Devlin invested in the Hollinshead property. The wind last Friday blew a quantity or. ine rencincj down and quite a number of cows Iiave been feasting on the ahrubberry binee." ! Settlement with the Former Treasurer. We were shown the other day, by Mr. JR. E. Hill, who prepared if, a statement for a settlement between j Thos. N. Tolbert, late County Treasurer aud the court of Abbeville which! j was made in pursuance of an order of j iksr. Uaiiai* I iiilnr/* PnAlro fPllO .ItlHfrfll I during the kite session of court at this! j place ordered the foreman of the jGrand Jury to designate some two or j three members of the Jury besides himself to proceed in connection with j Messrs. L. W. White and W. C. 1 lienet, who were named by the Court, {to ascertain what monies were in the hands of Tolbert to the credit of the 'several funds for which collections i had been made by him and to report i the same to the Solicitor, who was luistructedto receive the money from Tolbert. I As this was necessarily a very difli! cult and complicated settlement to! | make embracing as it did his transactions as Treasurer for a period of some three or four years, it was deemed utterly impossible for a committee composed as this was with the limited time which it could afford to devote to i the matter to arrive at any satisfactory conclusion it was therefore thought to be eminently to the interest of the county that this matter be entrusted to an expert who should be compensated for his trouble and who could then afford to give the matter that study aud attention which it required. This was the conclusion come to by I /lAmrviS^AA onrl nnottim/Miulii nnil. liiu wiiiiuiiicv auu uimiiiiiiuuotj vwi? curred in by the County Commissioners, who as the guardians of the finaucial interests of the County were desirous that the matter should be thoroughly looked into. Mr. Hill being peculiarly qualified for this work owing to the fact that he luts been clerk to the Auditor for several . years, thereby becoming familiar with j the modus operandi of the tax de! partment, and being also a member of the grand jury was selected by, and authorized to act for the committee and was likewise chosen by the County Commissioners to represent them. As we stated before, this was a very (difficult and complicated settlement i to make, but under the skilful management of Mr.'Hill everything is ! made so plain that the most simple |can understand it. Tt was not only difficult but very tedious, as it necessitated'the examination of some five I or six thousand vouchers for monies j paid out in order to ascertain what balance Mr. Tolbertshould stand charged with. We had honed to publish it in this issue but con la not obtain a copy In time but will do so in our next. The examination of this settlement sheet has tended to more fully impress j us with the importance of the office of I County Auditor, as without the records in said oftice all the data by which the several debts were made out against the late Treasurer would have existed no where save in his possession. We were informed bv Mr. Hill who Is perfectly familiar with all the routine of this olfice that the work can be simplified (and yet be just as effective) ;as that the duties, including the assessment of the property of the coun|ty, can be performed for eight hundred-or a thousand dollars per annum. He thinks the present style of blanks upon which the returns are taken, should be retained, but that in making up the books only the aggregates should be used instead of being aggregated as now. Docs Erskinc College Need Another l'rofcssor? Scppj.ied.?The department of the late Pr. Pressly tn Erskine College has been provided for by "the Hoard. Dr. Boyce and Prof. Kennedy will give some assistance for the balance of the year, and the members of the Faculty will divide out the remaining studies among them. The Hoard fof Trustees, we presume,] have also instituted' measures to simply the vacancy in the Faculty, at as early a day as possible.?.4. It. Prcxbyterim. We approve of the plan of "dividing out." Jt seems to us even in the ; absence of Dr. Pressly that there are i still an abundance of Professors in the j College. We can see but little use for six or eight Professors to teach sixtv L._ nnfU ?.wi )..,% wi aiivi uciioc uuu neither tlie Board of Trustees nor the Synod should elect another Professor until there is a larger attendance of students. The College is struggling for exsstenee and should, in our opinion, employ no more teachers than are actually necessary. Professors should he eniployed who are able to teach various branches. We are anxious to see Erskine College rise to the highest degree of usefulness -as an educational institute, and would suggest that when professors ate chosen that they be selected for their fitness for the position as well as for the influence they may bring to j bear in favor of the College. As we understand it, the College is glad to receive patronage from other denominations than their own, and, for this reason, an influential Baptist, Methodist, Episcopalian or Presbyte rian teacher might possibly bring a ! perceptible influence to bear in faI vor of the College, and increase its I usefulness to a greater extent than couiu ue none uy any mau ui rquui merits within the communion of tlie Associate Reformed Church. We take it that all Associate Reformed j Presbyterians will patronize this institution anyhow, and if others are induced to take advantage of the suj perior educational facilities of this | College it will be so much gained. The election of Professors, we believe, has heretofore been from a close corporation, and no man not possessing the Associate Reformed shibboleth has been a^ked to a professorship in the College. When men withdraw from others they naturally withdraw I from them, and it may be that this is the reason that the College languishes. At any rate we shall believe in a reduction of the former number of ] teachers, or in selecting them from (sources which will bring material J prosperity to the College. AVe have in Abbeviile County may boys to edu! cate, and we are at a loss for any good { reason why they should not in the shades of Erskine College drink deep I draughts from the pyerian spring. >> e give uifst? sagm:?iiuus> iur wuai I they are worth, not that we have had any experience in running a College. I A subscriber, who has read the j Press and Banner for twenty-five (years, desires us to enquire if there is anybody living on the Moseley Ferry road from Abbeville Court House to ! Calhoun's creek liable for road duty? I If so, is there any one authorized to make the persons so liable perform that duty. Three miles of this road has not been worked for eighteen mouths, audit is now nearly impassable. ? We omitted the fact that Miss Cater is now at Mrs. White's store, where she will be pleased to see her friends who may need work in the line of dress fitting or dress cutting. Satisfaction guaranteed, in fitting beautiful figures, and the appearance of the other sort is greatly improved by her plan of cutting. Her customers are warranted to liave fits. Mr. A. Bequest.?We direct attention to the advertisement of this wide-awake and energetic merchant which appears elsewhere. He is a good merchant and knows how to I please customers every time. His stock is a varied one and he will sell it | cheap for cash. Fince so many of his former customers have failed to pay their bills he has soured on the credit bui>ine^8 and he will henceforth sell for the money. He will now credit no one. A Bio Thing.?Over 600 extra copies of the Phoenix, containing i Hon. D, H. C.'s pronunciamento, I ( were disposed of?the biggest thing, since the late unpleasantness. [ Carolina Wimbush, Sylvia Wimbush, Peter Wimbusli, Dun Prcssley, and John Donald, the Due West rioters, were brought before Trial Justices 0. T. Calhoun and B. W. Hughes, on last Thursday 011 a writ of Habea Corpus. All gave bond to appear at next Court of session, except Carolina Wimbusli, who not being able to give the necassary bond, was sent back to jail. Jks and Cy Wimbusli have been lodged in jail for their part in the Due A Vest riot. After the riot they went to Columbia to see Chamberlain, but he had abdicated, and then they went to see Hampton whose constables they lin/l uutMinlfu/l 'I'hn (invopiinr ir'iVH them n note asking that the authorities here would give them a fair trial and mete out justice to them. Last Friday tho wind blew a steady gale from the Northeast and rain fell during the whole time. The wind was so strong at times that it was impossible to'carry umbrellas, aud those forced into the streets had to take the rain straight. The inside of every house in town was more or less wet. Tiir Xcw York Herald always has a correspondent on hand whenever any great event takes place. That paper gave the best account that we have seen of the burning of the Southern Hotel at St. Louis. The particulars we give elsewhere will be read with interest. Thk editor of the Edneflcld Adccr finer has been elected honorary member of the Augusta German Shooting club. The next thing we hear of that editor will be that he is practicing the art, making targets of delinquent subscribers. They had better pay up early. Wilt, Captain J. R. Tarrant, of Greenwood, and Captain Joseph Allen, of Greenville, please favor us with a written opinion as to the propriety of Democrats accepting office under Hayes, (provided they can get olfice ?) It is said that Governor Hampton is thinking of resigning his office in consequence of a pressure of private or personal matters requiring his attention. It would be very much regretted if the Governor should find such a course necessary. Don't let your children know that you are cheating the printer. They can tell it by the date opposite your name on the paper. Children are close observers and will respect you more if you pay the printer. Dr. Gkikr preached a fine sermon iu the Presbyterian church last Sunday morning. The Doctor is one of the ablest divines in the State, and no man in his church is more highly respected. Tiie people everywhere thank Gen. GordaN, of Georgia, for the active part he took in Washington in behalf of South Carolina. Miss Janie Smith, one of the handsomest young ladies of the neigh borhdbd of Hodges was in town last week. Miss Emma Syfan, of Fort Pickens paid a visit to hor friends in Cokesbury last Monday. The young gentleman of Cokesbury will surrender, we know. Mr. Robert W. Haddon of Due West, was in town last Monday. He is justly incensed at the outrage committed by UieWinbtish negroes. Mrs. Ckesswell, one of the nicest old ladies of Greenwood spent several days in town last week. No wonder the people have confit dence. when the best physicians are prescribing Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup in all cases of Cough Cold, etc. See advisement of Mr. L. Smith, which appears elsewhere. He is a fine mechanic and. will do fine and beautiful work at low figures. Xhk rain softened the ground so much that the blow leveled more or less fencing on many lots in town.

Mr. Smart, of Cokesbury, is equally happy over a similar event in his family. Tim Lancaster Ledger last week announced that he "surrenderei all of his editorial space to the news of the day." Some of our young gentlemen were greatly disappointed because Dr. Grier did not preacn last Sunday night. The Methodist church was closed last Sunday in order to give the Methodists an opportunity to hear Dr. Grier in the Presbyterian church. A number of the stone posts around Gen. McGowan's lot were leveled to the ground on Friday. A Minister should always preach /a lit *.? /)Anrrraii*ntS/\ti o lul n/kf n4 liiu I V ills wwii^i^ukiuu, auu aa vy u wt nirj hearers.
