The Press and Banner. ! ABBEVILLE, S. C. BY HUGII WILSON. Wednesday, April 25,1877. j Chief Justice. We have presented the name of { fjpneral Kamutil McGowan for tilt'' office of Cnief Justice. We regard,, him as the best man iu the State for 1 many reasons, tho following among jt others: |?i Hehasability equal to the place and! integrity and character equal to any!, man* For qualities of head and lieaat 1 lie is the peer of any man living. He is a representative man of the ( conservative sentiment {of South Car-! olina, reconciliation, fraternity and s peace, which is not only wise and just,' i but now the Hampton settled policy :l of the State. This has been the Gen-;, eral's law and gospel for ten years. j He is from the up-country whiob j boie the heat and burden of the day t iu the last and greatest campaign, s .and he contributed as much to our j j -success as any man iu the State?al- 11 ways excepting the wiso and conserva- j ^ tive Hampton. ij] We see from several unkind articles fc an the yews and Churjir, that they un-1 j. ilerstaud the popularity of our candi- i u date before the Legislature, and they : j are trying to horn him off by a cciucua. j That is, that the election should not be I < .made in the Legislature,' Out in a! Ir caucus. | a This is foul play and wo object to it;1 .for many re&sons. j First?The oftlee is in no way poUt~. tl ical, and each candidate ought to have i Jj a fair chance before the whole Legisla- [ s ture. tl Second?Provided he is a good,;^1 staunch, reliable democrat, that man jo is most fit for the office, who has!1 broad, liberal conserva tive views?ex j actly in accord with the policy established of equal justice to all. Why l' should it be an objection toa man, that J t all, Democrats and Jicpublieaiis, arejs * willing to take him without strife or :} further contention? Such a man is needed to promote the much talked of' * era of good feeiing. ' , Third?In the condition, in which parties now stand to each other, to an. nounce that republican votes for alp good man are not desired is simply i1 lunacy of the first water. It will uu~ L necessarily perpetuate strife and may ! t possibly produce the thing least of all * desired, a Chief Justice of the old po- i ] litical hacks. j t There is little danger of a republi-|J can Chief Justice, aud therefore thereh is no necessity for a caucus on that Ip subject. It is not necessary to pre- j ^ seive ,tiie integrity oi tne party. 1 uut i is all pretense. It is pioposed only in jA the interest of some particular caudi-! date. It is harsh, irritating, and in! reference to Chief Justice, positively; unwise aud unfair. We want, if pos-j sible, the good Democrat upou whom all can unite. After the storm, thei calm. We say, let us have peace, at' least in the calm, serene atmosphere of the Supreme Court. Let us try to for-! get that we are democrats or republi-j cans and vote for the right man whom; we have presented?the man from the! people aud of the people, in spite cfj cliques, coteries combinations or King!} Caucus. | Eighteen Years Ago. Oil the first of April, ISoO, we | bought half interest in the IndependA ent Press, since which time we have been connected with the office. Dur- \ ing these eighteen years, many, very 1 many changes have taken place. In c looking around the public square we i find but few men in business now that J were here then. As far as we have i observed, our friends H.'W. Lawson I it anu John Knox are the only men now j t in the mercantile business that follow-jt ed the snne occupation eighteen years j ? ago. Some, since that time, have gone ! 'j out of business, ami others have mov- r ed to distant fields of usefulness, while i still another party of noble spirits, t have been called from their labors to )j render to the Great Judge an account' ? of their stewardship. li In every profession and trade, the,1 changes have been many, and we have' u almost a new population when com- 1 pared with that date. Reader, eigh- r teen years hence, where will you and C I be? Who will then publish the ? Press and Banner and how many of j a its present readers will be spared to <> read its columns. Since we have) been in Abbeville, we have chronicled I li the death of many good men and we,11 have also published the demise of| a some others whom we fear were notjquite so good. In turn your time and \ ^ ours will come, how soon or how late i is not for us to know. But one day 1 f' our names will appear in its columns -^ among the dead, and we will then! soon be as little thought of as we now , ? think of generations which have!a ''gone before." It] Death of an Editor. AVe regret to learn from the Colum- i: 'bia Daily Rcg'mter of the death of (J.: P P. Pelham, Esq., late political editor! j of that paper. Our relations with i liim were of the pleasant, kind, and j* %r<; ever regarded him as the genial \ ehratian gentlemen whose sincerity c can-dar never failed to inspire thejj esteem. It is seldom tliatwej have i*et so pure a man as Charles J Pearoe Pelham. He died in hissixty-u first year at the post of duty and lion-1 < or, and his memory will long be j j1 cherished by the public, and especial-1 \ iy by his brethren of the press. The j1 Register pays a beautiful tribute to its u deceased editor, from which me make j the following extract: ! "Exemplary in all tho relations of life, j a >a* husband, father, master, friend, citizen | to his family his loss is irreparable, to us 11 grievous, to the com in unity a blow, to N the State a serious loss. In that moment- a o us future, bristling with' difficulties, on I which, we enter, more vigilant foresight ? than his may guard, more intrepid spirits 11 than his iriav command, abler brains j than his may devise, cunningcr tongues! 1 than his may charm but no truer heart I xio nobler pulse will beat.

Thov askod my family. One] of this crowd told mo a few days beforo the election, at my gate, that he" wouldn't vouch for my life for ten days. Q. But you are still living??A. O, Y es. (i. "Who were these men that were beaten ??A. They were young men. (I. Were they republicans or democrats??A. Republicans. (i. Who were the men that inflicted the violence??A. Democrats.

Very few of the colorcd people own any. Q. Was this beating at any ponueai meeting ss?A. Xo, sir; it was since the election. Q". Tlio young men wore drunk, I suppose??A. Well, they played oif that way. <i, Well, they were drunk, were (hey not??A. I don't think they were asdrunk as they made out to be. (J. They were under the influence of litpior, were they not, and a quarrel arose and the broke some bottles over the other man's head; wasn't that tho way??A. No, sir; no quarrel. They just walked up to him and asked, "What ticket did you vote ?" Says he, "That is a railroad ticket.'' Says the men, "That ain't the question.,' Says he, "Why did you ask me that question?" Says "the other, "Wc have come to the conclusion to kill every nigger that voted the republican ticket." This colored man says, "If that is your conclusion, you had better begin on rue," and ho jumped up and eatehed hold ol him, and got the pick. When ho got the jiick, this l'ellow said, "Now look here, Jlieli, I don't want no foolishness with you ; let's go and get some tobaccoand that was all about it. (l.

No, sir ; there was three of them, and only one of them showed any whisky. Q. llad you seen them just previous to the affair, ami talked with them??A, No; I had not talkeckwitb them, but I had been passing them all day. IS TURKEY A MATCH FOR RUSSIA. The Struggle Not so Unequal as is Generally Supposcd--WI>at Admiral Porter and Gen. Sherman Say About it. The exciting war news from the East momentarily overshadows all othor topics in Washington. Admiral Porter and Gen. Sherman are very much interested and think that the conflict is going to be a terrible one. The Admiral, in discussing the news, expressed himself as lbl lows: 'l'liis war promises to bo the most gigantic nnd Important to Europe, and even to the United Slates, that has taken place. It will In- a great religious war, and the consequence can only he surmised. The Idea of some o( tht? newspapers that Turkey is going to he wiped out in a day is a mistaken one. The Russians will never capture Constantinople. It is not in the power of their army or navy to take the place. As for their navy, it is of very little consequence in contrast with what it Is required to accomplish. They have about thirty iron-clads and 211 vessels of war 01 other kinds. They have tO/XiO men in their navy and about fifteen hundred and fifty-live guns. Ho then read ofF a list of their ironclads, showing that five of thoni carry from sixteen to twenty-six guus, and the rest from two to eight guns apiece, and continued: All of these iron-clads are of the very best material, and their guns are of the latest pattern and heaviest call I) re. The other ordinary vessels are all reported to be in good condition. The larger portion of this navy is now about getting free from the ice of the North Sea, near St. Petersburg. These vessels of the Russian army that are now in our nnriM cnnii. I^rc to iret rid of the ice (here this winter. The navy, however, makes little difference on either siilc. This war, as between Russia ami Turkey is going to be in the main a land tight. '! he Turks have twenty splendid iron-clads, with eighty-four other pood and substantial war vessels. The.v have 1,'JIS guns and men. Korjtho defensive this is a pood navy. They have tlie great forts of the Dardanelles, all along from its mouth up to tiulllpoiis. Here the.v also have chains, torpedo btiafs, their iron-clads, gunken hulksand other obstructions. The Russians have to pans through these to Gallipolis thence into the Sen of Marmora, and then they will have to light their way up through the torpedoes, iron-clads, Ac., to I lie liosphorus. As they puss by Constantinople up the l'osphorus, they have twenty miles of fortsflo encounter, and having passed these they are in the It lack Sea. You see, sir, the light Is by no means to be all on the side of the Russians. They have 110 licet in the liluck Sea. When Kebastopol ways destroyed and their great lleets blown up and sunken and their navy-yards destroyed 011 the Black Sea, that settled their fleets in that locality, and the Kuropcan Powers have forbidden them ever since to rebuild in that locality. The Russians have a line army, well disciplined, well officered, and doubtless their arms, guns and supplies are of the tlrst-class. They are not commencing this light for sentiment sake. It is tlie hope of their lives ; and they have no.v arrived at that point when the Kmperoi will be able lo get every man and every dollar hit: neon It; hsive. so us to will the trreut contest of the nation. It will bo no use; though, as it will end in disaster. The Turks are thoroughly aroused, Erorn one end ot their vast empire to tho other, the Mussulmans are crowding together by t he tens oi thousands and already the religious fanaticism of the Turks is discernible. Just think of 40,000,000 of people ! They will give every dollar and every valuable liiey have to aid their side. They have the best arms in the world?they wore made by our own people, and Kurope has no better. The large guns the Turks get from Krupp, and, of course, these cannot be excelled. There is no doubt that both sides have plenty of arms and ammunition. After the Kussiunsget very much weakened and theTurks have worried them a good deal, then the Austrinns and perhaps, the Germans will have something to say. France is not particularly interested, aridmark what I say?shewill not engage in this conflict. .She will go on with her exhibition and it promises to be a great success. The war, will not all'ect it in the least. Austria if the country that is most interested in the contest, excepting England, and just how Austria is going to act remains to be seen, shewill be in the tight, however, before the war has gone on six months. England is tlie grand puzzles You can depend 011 it, she doe^ not intend to allow Russia to lake Constant!, nople, even If she could, and her time to en ter into the contest will be markeel by the circumstances of the conflict. The great good that this war is going to have on our country cannot be computed. We will hot only sell liour, corn, pork, clothing, arms and ammunition to the contending parties, but we will sell all these things to the other great natlom especially our cereals and provisions. If the war continues two years, and my prediction is that it will, we will have to plant, for the whole world. The entire agricultural pursuits of the greut grain ceiuntry of the Black Sea will be stonned. It was so in the Crimean war, I wasa lieutenant the navy cominundeil the Supply, then in tlio Mediterranean squadron, anil well do I remember the ricl: harvest our merchants reaped during the war. This war will bring hack ngaiu to u> the commercial supremacy wo lost during our war. If Congress legislates properly In June, so as to allow vessels to be bought ami placed under our Hag to remain there, out commercial murine will be revived. AVu have not time to build ships; we must buy thcin. Admiral Porter went on to sav that there probably would not be much blockading, and that our supplies would be in demand by other nations in any event. Chamberlain, 011 being interviewed .said, that neither Russia nor Turkey cvei had larger or better disciplined armiet than now. They have, said he, all, the advantages of many improved arms and modes of warfare, and the result will b< that the world will witness the greatesl battles ever fought, so far as the destruction of life is concerned. I believe this struggle is going to cost a million o; lives, and they will uot bo all llussiatii and Turks either. I can hardiy believe that the Turks can withstand the shock They may save Constantinople, but i they lose every other point, what gooi will it do them ? (Jen. Sherman also tool a favorable view of the effect on thii country. lie added: It will keep our people at work day an< night to provide for Europe, If there shouli be a general war, and that now seems inevi table to me. I believe all the great power: will be directly or indirectly involved before the year is out. In the'parts of the countr\ i?. tl,.U ..'III Ii>* phtec a halt" mill lion men on cither side eat un<l will be used. The Uusslans will have t< pull along very fust through the summer for they Retail their supplies by their rail roa?ls, and in the winter these are rarelj available. Gen. Sherman said he was in favor o: allowing some of our army officers t< visit either army without pay and serve on staff duty. Since Gov. Hampton is in undisputed possession of the State Government, there is now some chance of starting a factory here. Efforts will shortly he made in that direction. I'/tocnix. Hi:v. W. II. Fj.kmino, D. 1>., is dead. W< ' 1 nil r I II ir i MomanMMM !For Whom, and For What is the News ami Courier at Work? From the Charleston Journal of Co in- c s //it;/ uc v\ u i/iiv iu&tuv% iu? cAtrauu) . , j. In the two last issues, tho jVcms avd j y Courier, in doublo leaded columns, de-ju mauds that tho Democratic party in this it: State, in the llrst moments of its deliver-! y .janee, shall adopt nt once a caucus rule. 11. j On Friday it calls upon the Democrats to i ^ draw tight tho party lines, and warns If | most earnestly any Democrat who reins- ] cs to submit his claims to such a caucus, t and who declines to be governed absolute- n i ly by its action. < >n Saturday, in "strik- ^ i'ng accord" with its newly l'ound friend,]K the I.'df/cjiril Advertiser, it gathers vche-1? 1 j mence as it goes, and raises its voice ji , I again and erics: "As the Advertiser j | says, we must caucus for nominations, 11 ; caucus for measures, caucus for every- j < thing, as they do in Congress." * L As we do not intend to take part be- r ; twc.cn tho worthy gcntlomcu, in the elee- j tion of any one of whom we would re- j |; jo ice were it not that by his advancement \ '| Mothers equally worthy must necessarily l be put aside. In curious contrast are the opposite ii > columns of the Xeies mid Courier of Fri- i clay morning. In the onecolumn is Gov- t i ernor Hampton's speech at the City Hall, s ! in which he so earnestly appeals to our l people, white and colored, "one aiul all e ' to forget l'or awhile at least all about pol- i itics, and devote themselves to the mate- i rial interests of the State." In which he l ' says again, "I don'tVant you to become r Democrats or Conservatives, I only want s r you to forget all about politics." In the t ' other column, the editor of that journal s any*, "draw tight the party lines." t It is well-known that Governor Ilnmp- a ton desires the election of Judge Willard as Chief Justice, ami many earnest Democrats think it Judge Willard's due. We ' express no opinion, hut draw tight the party lines, as the AYww advises, and at ' once exclude consideration of views * ' which are entitled to respectful attention, <1 if not from their own weight, yet surely c from the source whence they" emanate. 1 The question?we use the term "ques- " tion" advisedly?whether or not to vote 1 for Judge Willard, is a grave one, upon M1 which honest men, even though they be Democrats, may dill'er, but about which L every one should act on his own individ- s ual responsibility without the shield of a 1 caucus. The people arc prepared to accept the result of an open and fair discus- !1 sion of the question, but they want no 1 "caucusing" upon it. c On the AVj/'.s and Courier's own show- 1 ing the question is not now between, vice t and corruption, on the one hand, claiming oilice under the Republican name, and ' on the other honor, purity and learning } under Democratic auspices. "There ' would be no danger," it says, "of the 1 election of a Wright or Whipper." The ' only names suggested or possible of elee- * tion :is Chief J nstice are those of some of our own people, together with that of Judge Willard, who it cannot be said is 1 ignorant or corrupt. " Again, we say, among the names of our ' many friends, we have no such choice as ^ would induce us to advocate his spetgai ? claim in these columns lor the position * of Chief Justice. Hut we wish to appose * d.s eiaj)hfilic((/li/ as the Xctr.s and Courier 11 approves the proposition "to do as Congrcss does." We believe the caucus svs- * tern to be incompatible with proper con sidcration of public affairs, a "ml*ruinous to sale and wise legislation. We believe ;1 it converts the legislative hall from a j council chamber of statesmen into a low J den of demagogues. We believe that it ,, destroys the individual responsibility of ? the representative, and that it is the cover <j of unfaithfulness and corruption. Uut t apart from all these high considerations, we protest against giving over the votCM of the low country, now so opportunely ^ possessed, into the control of those whose i f interests may not be ours. We call upon t the Representatives from Colleton in par- 1 ticular, but also upon all who have the I truo interests of the State?of the whole c Ntate?at heart, to refuse tft go into any such caucus, even though directed to do | so by the t'h<irle.ston Xewx and Courier i and the Edgefield Advertiser. |1 Republican Oflicinls Excluded from!\ j ( the State House?Doors of the Olfiees Scaled?A Protest from . the Excluded Officers. ji f'oi.rMHiA, S.

' CO I.I'M 111 a. S. C.t April IS. 1*77. Hon. "Wade II ami-ton, Governor of South' , Carolina:? StK?The undersigned State officers of i 11 South Carolina on approaching the doors of. : our respective offices ut. the State House this [ morning found them covered l?y a seal placed i ; I tlierf, as we are Informed, by* your orders, j ; i We were also met by members of your con-i ;'stabulary force, who Informed us that they | ' j had received orders to arrest any person who ] | should attempt to remove the said seals, the i manifest purpose heing t? prevent us from ; entcrinir our respective offices. 1 In view of this forcible ejectment and ex-1 , elusion from our offices we find it our duty i aguin to call your attention to your assuran- I ' ces, both publicly and privately, that you j : would "resort only to legal remedies, for the*] I settlement of all disputed questions." We ' are now forcibly excluded from our offices j ,I without resort to legal remedies, without le- i I gal process or right, " It is a mockery to say that tliis forcible ex-1 ! elusion does not interfere with our legal | I rights. It is our right, holding as we do a ! perfect prima facie title to our respective! State offices, to continue in the possession II and use of the public rooms attached to them j ;land in^hecustody of the nubile records be-1 '! longing thereto. To forcibly exclude us from j 1 j these rooms and records is to deprive us of j , our rights without form of law. It Is morco- j liver to treat with contempt the Judicial proceedings now pending for the determination I I of the final right to these oltlces, and by an I act. of UMirpation siud disregard of law to deprive us of fair official rights. Against such , an outrage it only remains for us here to cn! ter our solemn protest. j Very respectfully. i T. Dl'XN, Comptroller (Jonora!. F. L. CAIUiOSEA, Treasurer. It. 15.

It is thought how-j ever, that Governor Hampton will coin-; 'mute the sentence of a portion of the ! : doomed men to imprisonment for life or a j 3 Ion#term of years. 'J'his act which the! Governor has probably already performed! j I will no doubt be approved by the people [ 1!of our State, and will have numerous! -1 precedents to sustain it. Such a specta-! siele as ten men suspended from a gallows | | for the same act has never been witnessed j in South Carolina, and would be of doubt-! ,! l'ul propriety at this time. In IHliiisix! > colored men were condemned to hang at! ; j Pickens for the inurder of a young man I ; I named Ilunnieutt, but Gov.* Orr coui-J i muted the sentence of all but one, who p| was accordingly executed. With a report jot' the evidence* had upon the trial before 'I him, Governor Hampton has, we are sals'islied, properly considered the relative guilt of the prisoners, and his action, | whatever it may be, will be sustained by j our people, because we are satisfied it 11 will bo the promptings of justice tempered with mercy. The commutation of; !| punishment to imprisonment for life will: j not in future be as it has been in the p;to$ 1 j for the chance for speedy liberation has gone with the death of Republicanism. I J A nilerxoti bilrlli'jrnccr. The Lowndcsvillc Prisoners. We have watched the progress of this . ase very closely from the first up to tho . resent time, and have noted particular y the oi)inions and expressions of tho ' arious writers; and one thing wo havo ' lotieed is that those who favor commuta- , ion def so because the prisoners are many k'liile thoso who advocate a full execution laim that the prisoners are equally ' ;uilty. Now suppose every man in Ab- ' levillo county should sign a petition to mvvjlvc or nix of the prisoners commuod, which of the ten wonhl he the l'ortulate and which would he the scapegoats? limply because only one. man was . ;illed"is no reason that ten men are not { ruilty of the most heinous murder. Mr. ! 'lavion Allen was the only man killed, ] >ut there is no doubt that his death saved ' he lives of scores of men. women and hildivn, and even if this was not tlio 1 aso, the killing of Mr. Allen would war- j ant the hanging of ten (or even twenty, ' f sueh was the nam Iter) desperate out- . nws who are a pest to the community. 'lie people of Lowiulesvillo are and have ' icon in a position to fully realize to a greater extent than arv one else theenoruity of tho crime perpetrated in their 11 icist on the night of Due. 4th, and a peition has been gotten up in their midst, igtied by over eighty, both white and lack, praying that the sentence If the] oiirt be fuily executed. We are unable 0 see that justice can be done and the najesty of the law vindicated by hanging ess iiian the entire number of the prisoicrs now condemned. Further-more, hould a portion of thein receive execu1 ve clemency, we are persuaded that, ' hould asimllar occurrence take place in . he future, tho guilty parties will not be Mowed the privilege ol' a trial by jury.?
