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

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

! 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

Carolina Wimbush, Sylvia
Wimbush, Peter Wimbusli, Dun

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

Last Friday tho wind blew a
steady gale from the Northeast and

every house in town was more or less
wet.

is thinking of resigning his office in
