Jury Presentment. j
STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA,) j
County of Auukvii.le. j ;
To His Honor, J. II. Hudson, Prending j
Judge of the September Term of the'
Cow t for Abbeville Countg:
The Grand Jury beg leave to make '
the following presentment:
Having at the two last courts held in j
this county made presentment of al! I
matters of public :mportance, we do not;
deem it necessary to reproduce them.i
and shall touch upon those matters that!
have been specially assigned us at the;
present term of the Court in a briefi
manner.
The Grand Jury visited in a body the;
County Jail and found it kept in a most1
satisfactory manner and the prisoners j
well cared for. We fouud one of them, I
Jake Maxwell, whom we thought needed
medical attention and have called the j
attention of the County Commissioners I
to him. At their request Drs. Temple- i
ton and Parker visited the prisoner and 1
we would call attention to their report,
hereto attached and marked "IX"
We have investigated the offices of|
the Clerk of Court, Probate Judge,
Treasurer, County Commissioners, Auditor
and School Commissioner and found ;
them neatly kept and their occupants I
fully conversant with the duties of their
respective offices and discharging them
in a manner highly creditable to themselves
and to the County of Abbeville.
We regret that we are unable to make |
aoy report of the coudition of the Slier- {
iff's office on account of the abseuce of I
Sheriff Jones who has abandoned the
same and left the State. We would
recommend that Governor Hampton order
an election to fill the unexpired
term of that office as soon as practicable.
We submit to the Court the reports
of the Frobate Jud^e, Treasurer and]
County Commissioners as to their finan-]
cial matters which are hereunto attached j
and marked "A," "B" and "C," and!
also call attention to the report of the (
School Commissioner contaiued in the!
accompanying copy of the Press and j
Dinner.
The County Commissioners have called j
the attention of the Grand Jury to the;
Boisseau fund ; a statement of which i?
embodied in their report. We recorj-|
mend that they take immediate steps to j
carry out the provisions of the will con-1
teining the donation. j
A committee of the Grand Jury vis-1
ited the Poor House and found the inmates
properly clothed and fed and the
apartments in good repair and cleanly;
kept. The paupers, nineteen in number, <
appeared generally healthy and well j
satisfied with their treatment.
We find the bridges of the county in1
good repair and that the roads throuph-j
out the county have been generally!
worked, but in consequence of heavy j
rain3 since we suggest that they be re-:
paired where necessary.
At the June term of the Court held1
at Abbeville C. H. the attention of the I
Grand Jury was called to the alleged
, cruel treatment of the convicts employed
liy the Greenwood and Augusta Rail- j
road Company by the presiding Judge, I
. J.B.Kershaw. At the request of the
Grand Jury a committee consisting of j
seven members of that body were appointed
to go down to the stockade aud j
investigate the charges preferred against;
the said company. Upon the report of
the investigatirfg committee and other
evidence brought before the Grand Jury
* ' ? r J ?
*. we beg leave to say tnai we iouuu *iuj
real grounds for the charges and further j
to confirm the report of said committee
Gen. Bradley has placed before the j
Grand Jury a communication fromj
Major Parmele, (who was appointed by |
Governor Hampton at the request of
the railroad company to investigate these
charges which have been circulated
since the visit of the committee,) in
which he says, "after a very thorough
examination of the matter I am entirely
satisfied that the charges against your
company are without real foundation;!
in fact I found convicts well housed and
clothed and in good condition?showing
no signs of brutal treatment or neglect."
In conclusion the Grand Jury cannot
refrain from expressing their hearty
commendation for the able and impartial
manner in which your Honor ha?
. discharged the duties of the present terra
and must express their high appreciation
for the many favors which they
have received at the hands of tbe court,
as well as the State's able Solicitor and j
the officers of the court.
In retiring from the position which {
the members of the jury have occupied j
during the present year, they desire, I
through their Foreman, to express the]
hope that the quiet and peaceable year |
through which we have just passed,
may be a bright omen of a more peaceable
and prosperous year, that will follow
after be who has redeemed us from
our political troubles has been restored
to the head of the government.
Respectfully submitted,
Wesley A. Black,
Foreman.

Treasurer's Report to the Grand Jury
September Term, 1878.
My office has been closed for the collection
of taxes aince June 1st. J have
received nothing since my last report
except a small amount from trial justices
on account of fines. The office has
been kept open for the purpose of payjngschool
and county claims. I collected
of the May installment for State, county
and schools $10,102.95.
The October installment together with
the May installment still unpaid will
amount to about $45,000.
The law provides for the opening of
my office the 1st day of October for collection
of taxes. In order, however, to;
accommodate the taxpayers who mayj
be ready to pay aud with a view to re-,
lieve the office from the rush which
would otherwise occur during the;
month of October, and with the sano-|
tion of the Comptroller General, I will j
commence the collection on Monday, I
16th day of September. |

tlie time hereinafter mentioned said board fi
was fully organized, that8. J. Lee was chairman
ami K. J. C. Wood was the secretary and
treasurer thereof; that prior to the purchase
of said <?regg mansion by said board as a court V
house for the county of Aiken, the said Gregg
mansion was in the hands of the said K. J. C.
Wood, as real estate agent, for sale, and that
the same was held forSiO.OtW, and could have 111
been purchased for SS.IWO; that on March 7, 1872 -lV
said property was conveyed to the county of
Aiken by James Jones Gregg, as trustee of ?
Mary A. Fleming, wife of William Gregg,du- w
ring their Joint lives, for the sum of Slo.OOU;
that William Gregg, the husband of the ben- pi
eticiary of the trust, came to Aiken about one i
mouth prior to the date of aforesaid conveyance,
and met S. J. Lee, Frank Arnim, P. 11. et
Kivers, C. I). Ilayne, John Woollry and J. N. .
Ilayne at the Aiken Hotel, and then and 11
there entered into a conspiracy to defraud oi
the county of Aiken in this; The said individuals,
as membersof said board, agreed to L)
give the sum of Slo.OOV for said (iregg man- et
sion, aud the said Wm. Gregg agreed to give
to the members of said board thesutn of ?1, ai

This conspiracy to defraud the said county r,
was defeated in ono of its aspects to-wit: ?
That IX F. Fleming, then trustee of said w
property, after the bargain made as aforesaid
between the said Wm. Gregg and the said (1:
board, refused to give the said members the *i
said Si.000 promised as aforesaid, but collected
it and retained it. That K. J. I'. Wood, IS

knew of its existence ; that J. H. Cor- n

that there is no evidence that either of them ?'
knew of said transaction; that along with w

lie is opposed to combinations on many "
grounds. He regards it as a low trick in n
politics to defeat thecboice of the people, and .
thinks the man who resorts to it once, will u
pay in all the future for what success lie may v
have temporarily gained by it. It is a short .
sighted policy to say the least of it, and ? '
wrong on moral principles. When a man
desires ollice for the honor of the thing (and
that, is about all that a member of the legis- H
laturo can expect to get) lie certainly has
crude ideas of what constitutes honor if he

Wo publish this morning additional
tokening particulars of the ravages of
his pestilence. The accounts arc liarowing
and heartrending. The cities,
owns and villages of tho Mississippi
"alley are reeking and pestiferous cliar- j
id-houses whero putrefying corpses lie
inburicd for days for want of hands to
ay them in the grave. The dead arc
onnted by thousands, the fever-stricken
nd dying by tens of thousands. All |
ndiistry is at a standstill, and hundreds ,
f thousands of poor people arc out of
mploymcnt. This state of things will '
ontinuc until the frosts of December
hall conquer the fever. Until the cold
reather, tliat is to say, for the next ten I
reeks, plague, pestilence and famine, a !
hastly triumvirate, will hold their court 1
f death in that fated region. Let us |
liink of it here in Abbeville. Ton weeks 1
cveiity days, each with its terrible tale of
roc, will slowly pass before any hope !
an eoino to tlie dwellers in that valley of
lie shadow of death. It is appalling. J
sit nothing more? We read the fcarul
details,?how victims aro dying for
ick of nurses, medicines, and food,?
tow famine is stalking in the wake of
he plague, how money is needed to feed (
lie living, comfort the dying, and bury
lie dead ; we read all this and our sympathies
go forth to our fellow-men in i
few Orleans, VicKsburg, Memphis, '
Srenada and other stricken and decima- (
pd towns. Is that all that goes out from j
is tho people of Abbeville? Do we not
ead also how distant cities and towns ]
nd villages, all over this broad conti- 1
icnt, and away over the ocean, aro send- i
ng more than sympathy,?are showing
lie helping hand as well as tho feeling i
cart, and giving liberally of thcirmeans
j the people of the Mississippi Valley? i
>ur own State is high in that roll of lion- j
ur. Charleston has contributed eight '
lousand dollais, four doctors and ten |
urscs, anil her work is not vet done,
'hroughout the whole State funds have
con raised, subscriptions of clothing
ml blankets made; churches, masonic
)dges, tomporanco sociotif-s,- volunteer
?sociations of ladies, theatres, even barjoms,?all
have come forward and help:1
in the noble and necessary work,
coking over the list of places contribung,
the eve seeks in vain for Abbeville.
Abbeville is poor and needy ; so was
io poor,widow whoso little mite out eighs
tlio wealth of Solomon. Wo hope

r'ho arc the Straightout Democrats?
There seems to be a misunderstanding
nong some people of this State as to
ho arcStraightout Democrats. We beeve
a "Straightout'' Domocrat to be one
ho unhesitatingly stands upon the
latform of the party and faithfully f
jides bv all the rules and regulations f
D I
nanatiug from its acknowledged au- 1
lority. Governor Hampton, in our ,
)inion, is a perfectly "Straightout" I
t -..,1
miiuui iiv, ranvi uu/ou n n\/ ?n v; <ti i**v v??f-|
it vsiriiinco from him and his principles,
re furthest from being true "Straiglitit"
Democrats. According to the C'onitution
of the State Executive Commit?e,
in their address, no man who would
eny the negro all his rights under the
onstitution is a Democrat, and any man
ho would foster race prjudice or cause
issension in our ranks has no claims to
le possession of Democratic principles,
o man who would "scratch" a party
omination for either State or County ofce
has the least claims to be a Straightlit
Democrat. A Straightout Democrat
ill faithfully observe the rules and
lws of his party. If every man is to be
law unto himsef the party will disintgrate,
and abetter organized and a more
>rrupt party will take charge of the
tate. ltather tlian allow this calamity
> befall our people, it is better to read
ut of the party all foinenters of strife, l
iid all who do not fight within the party j
ncs. An open enemy is less dangerous f
lan a spy within the camp.

Columbia Class Legislation. >
In our columns this morning our
?aders will find an account taken from [
icRegister of a meeting of'"Working- >
len" in Columbia, where certain curious J
^solutions were passed. Wo furnish
lem to our readers "as information."
hoy clamour for representation for <
working-men." Query,?what is a j,
orkingman ? Is he a farmer, a clerk, a 1
iwyer, an editor, a negro laborer ? All v
icse men work, and all but the last j
ork as a rule very hard : some of them
lav not have "horny hands" but they "
link that an aching head does as hard <"
rork and is as necessary for the proriuc- [
ion of good work as a "horny hand."
A careful examination of the resoluons
wtll show what class it is that wants '
epresentation. The milk in the cocoa- 1
ut is perceptible in the resolution about ,
10 pay of our legislators. We have i
rown suspicious in politics. When a
lan prates about love for humanity, he I
cnerallv means higher wages for himself: j j
iid when a man or a meeting talks of
le "working-man" "the poor tax pay- "
r," "the poor laborng man," depend up- "
n it, it is tho voice of tho office-seeker. s
he whole thing boiled down means that j
?rtain men havn't office and are anx- J<
>us to get it. Thereforo the pay of our ^
gislators must be kept up. Well, it is p
io winning card these days. ^

Amnesty.
Our friends of the Fairfield Xcica and
Herald dissent strongly from our views
of amnesty to Patterson. Our friends
may bo right, but wo think they will
agree with us, that the State need not be
in acreat hurry to punish tho corrupt
Senator. This much for Patterson. >*ow
for tho other matter, lly Hampton's
plan of amnesty, he has secured amnesty
from the Federal Government for cif/ht
hundred illicit whiskey distillers of this
State, a large majority of whom would
sooner or later have found their way to
tho Albany penitentiary, except for his
magnanimity to offending Republicans.
By the Governor's generous acts towards
the minor offending Republicans, he has
secured to all of our absent citizens the
privilege of returning to their homes,
who arc under charge of ku-kluxing;
utid in a little while, Democratic offenders
against the law will receive substantial
evidences of favor from Washington
?all secured by a magnanimous action
on our part towards those in our power.
Friends, will you not admit that thero is
force in these argnmcnts and facts?
The A?&?v?llc Graded School,
Ata publiconnecting of tlio Abbeville
School Association held last Tuesday
night, ;l(l inst, in the Court Mouse, the various
committees gave in their reports,
which were highly satisfactory. The reports
stated that nearly a hundred pupils
of both .-.exes had been pledged by the patrons
of the school. Another report concerning
the academy building was submitted.
After a little discussion, it was
moved and seconded and unanimously
adopted that the Graded School be opened
at the earliest possible day. Subsequently
the Hoard of Trustees have had
a meeting and wo understand they determined
to open the School on Tuesday,
1st Octobcr. They are considering carefully
the matter of fees and intend to
make the cost of instruction as low as possible.
The prospects of tho school are
very good, and we confidently expect to
sec established here one of the finest
schools in the State. Tho Trustees will
meet this afternoon to elect two female
assistants*

We ask attention to the article with the

writes to us as follows, in regard to

"I send you an extract going the rounds of

Tlio followinfr preamble and resolutions
nere submitted by the commiltee appointed
U a previous meetiug todraft resolutions:
Whereas our State was rescued in thcevernemorablc
campaign of IsTfi from a bondage
noro terrible in itsconscnnenccs had It conin
ued than any under whose yoke freemen
lad ever been compelled by the misfortunes
)f war to pass, threatening to destroy the
"ruits of centuries of civilized efforts in bclalf
of all that .tend to the advancement of
>ur people and the attainment of sound prinjiples
of morality, virtue and industry :
And whereas iu this great work of redemp,lon
the workingmen of our State, at great
>ersonal sacrifice and peri1, responded to ev>ry
requirement for the public good, as witless
the noble martydom of l'uckner, of
Charleston, whocheerfully gave up bis life in
>rder that our safety should no longer be enlangered
by the domination of ignorant, faint
leal and brutal men;
And whereas (he workingmen of the State
lave heretofore deferred to the superior edu:ational
qualifications of their fellow-citl:ensengaged
in the pursuits of life rendering
uch accomplishments necessary, hoping
hat their wisdom and sagacity would devise
neuns whereby those who could work and
vere willing to do so might be enabled to
tain a II veil hood for themselves and those
lependent upon their exertions:
And whereas, though our legislator* of the
ast General Assembly were in session from
he 27th of November until tho of March,
it great cost to the tax payers of the Slate,
lie character of their legislation has not af
brdedany relief to tho laboring classes, but,
mi the contrary, the outlonk is more gloomy
irul hopeless than at anytime since tlio close
if the war; therefore be it
ltexutrcd, That the time has come when the
vorkingmen should grapple with the affairs
>t State ami no longer abstain from seeking
>olltical preferment, trusting to common
:ense, practical knowledge and feelings in
.vmpathy With their own on the part or
lieir representatives to transact all business
vhich may demand their consideration.
JiesoU'cd, That we do respectfully rccomnend
to the Itcinoeratle County Convention,
o meet on the 17th instant, a full ticket, cotnlosed
of persons from tlie varionseallings of
ife, and that we do to-night, to that end,
luhmit for their consideration candidates for
he various officers, with one worklngman
br representative in the lower house and one
or School Commissioner, and that we do
irgc by our personal and joint efforts the seection
of our candidates by that body.
Resolved, That It is our opinion that the
Uateshould afford no protection to monopoics
as agal nst the Interests of the poor labortig
men, and that we sympathize with our
ellow-clllzensof the low country in their enbrced
abstinence from toil In the phosphate
>eds, to their detriment, without increase of
evenue to the State, and to the benefit only
>fthe capitalists to whom exclusive rights
mve been given,
Resolved, That we look with disfavor upon
he attempt to reduce the salaries of our legators,
as it would eventually result in the
jeneral Assembly being tilled by only those
vlio could atlbrd the luxury for their own gratticatIon
or for purposes inimical to those of
>.? !?.? ?i.
Rrsolced, That we dcpreeate protracted sessions
of (lie Legislature, caused by ambi,ious
politicians airing their rhetoric in defence
of or in opposition to matters which
nay come before it, but that we arc perfectly
vllllng to grant a sullleiency of time consum;d
in proirotinir desirable objects conducive
o the public welfare.
Jicnolvrd, That we recommend to our reprelentatlves
in the Legislature the proi)riety of
ibollshlng the use of convict labor outside of
lie place of confinement, inasmuch as it puts
lonest labor at a discount without corcspondn?
benefit to the State.
J{?;solvcd, That we desire, and earnestly urire
ipon our representatives to be elected the
>ropriety of Inaugurating measures for the
speedy development of the Columbia Canal,
he Improvement of tlie wagon roads over the
'ntiro state, by paid labor, and restrictive
awsagainsl unjust discriminations in freights
)}' common carriers.
Ilvnolccd. That it is the sense o' tills mectng
that all aspirants for the oftlces in the
cift of the voters of the county should publicy
announce |their Intention and the otlice
lioy propose to run previous to the meeting
>f tbe|nomiuating convention, and that in
aicli announcement ttiey express a determlintlon
to abide by the selection of that body
ind work for the nominees.
JlcxuU cd, That we denounce the charge made
igalnst us that we are trying to array one
:lass against another as utterly false and that
ve will frown down any man or set of men
viio attempt to create any antagonism be,ween
the. professions and tlio trades.
On motion, the resolutions were taken up
or consideration.
The fourth resolution, on motion, was laid
in the table.
On motion, the seventh resolution was
imended by striking out the words "by paid
abor."
On motion, the sixth resolution wasamend>y

pplatise Inviting Judge Crawford to address ]
he meeting; and after a short but stirring <
ddress from that popular and brilllantorator f
n the duties of the Democracy in thccoming <
truggle, the Convention adjourned. 1
There was only one thing we thought lackrtg
in t lie meeting, and that was that the ma- t
irlty of the workingmen, many of whom wo <
now to 1?o men of original ideas, and some
f them gifted with a due share of oratorical
owers, failed to participate to any extent,
ive in the voting. Much more of interest <
'ould haveattached to the meeting by short <
peeches from their representative men. f
There is no doubt but what. tne convention
ill give proper consideration to tlie namen t
lueed before them, for tl^y are all worthy S

Memphis, September 4.?The city at presont
isone vast charncl house. The undertakers
report ninety-six Interments forthc twenty-four
hours ending at t> p. in. Of these
ninety-three were caused by yellow fever;
seventy-six were whiteand twenty colored.
A visit to tlie county undertaker's establlshinent
to-night discovered the fact that at
nightfall there were about sixty more reported
dead, but still unhuried. The question
of disposing of the dead Is becoming a
serious one. The citizens' relief committee
have employed a burial corps of thirty no
groes to assist the county undertaker nntl his
men, and it has even been Miggesicd to burn
tin; dead if thc.v cannot be burled more
promptly, as corpses 11 re known to have laid
iinburied for forty-eight hours, hurthenlng
the air with a foul odor and becoming so revoltingthat
people have lied the neighborhood,
and it Is with difficulty that men can
be hired to haul them tothe Potter's-Field.
A. F. Cook, a Howard visitor, has been
taken down. Mayor Flippen being sick with
fever, Dr. I). F. Goodyear, president of the
Common Council, is acting as mayor.
A false report has cone forth that all the
banks are about to close. On the contrary, all
the banks are open, and will remain so.
In answer to many inquiries abroad as to
what kind of provisions were needed, MaJ.
Willis, of the citizens' commit tee, states that
salt meats and flour arc the most needed for
the destitute who are being fed by the citizens'
relief committee. The drain upon the
various relief organizations Is very great, for
In addition to attending to theslck and destitute,
there have been several calls for relict
from adjacent towns, which were promptly
met.
A panic was created at Colllnsville In this
county yesterday by the death of two citizens
supposed to be caused by fever. The town
has been almost depopulated.
The following appeal represents somewhat
the condition of affairs:
An Appeal to I lie lleuxzcti norm jrnm tnc rinance

AWFUL TIMES IN MEMPHIS.
The Fever Spreadidg to the Suburbs?
The Undertakers Unable to Bury
Dead Bodies Fast enough?Decomposing
Bodies Found in Deserted
Houses.
Memphis, September I.?Tho plague Is ex,
tending two or three miles from the city, and
flnding victims among those who lmve kept
nway since the epidemic broke nut, Indicating
that the atmosphere in the city and for
miles around it is thoroughly poisoned with
the infection. The burial of the dead lias be
come a matter of serious consideration. Undertakers
arc drawing upon every resource
for burying material,and now it Is almost Impossible
to get grnvc-dlgsrers. Stilt there nre
linndreds'of able bodied men crowding around
; the ^commissary depots bowling for rations.
: The demand for physicians Is so great that If
one Isseen on the street lie Is immediately surrounded
by petitions for him to visit and ad,
nilnlsler to sick persons.
Two cases of fever have broken out nt the
Father Matthew's Aid Camp, six miles northeast
of tills city, one of the cleanest and
healthiest localities in the vicinity of Memphis.
A number of canes are also reported
1 from Fort Pickering, the southern suburb,
which has been exempt from epidemic of any
character since 1 Kf>7, when It wan almost depopulated
by yellow fever. It Is spreading
rapidly In Chelsea, the northern suburb, and
1 in the southeastern part of the town new cases
are fjulte numerous. By this It may he
seen that the disease has taken entire possession
of the city and Its suburbs, the camps
; several miles away from the city, north and
1 south, not even being exempt.
The visitors continue to report dead bodies
' found. VlsltorSenunes bad f>ccaslon to enter
the upper .?torles of the Library building adjoining
the Memphis Theatre, this afternoon.
Following (he course of a sickening stench,
he opened the door of a room, on the floor ot
which lay the dead body ofa man, so far de- j
composed ns to defv identification, lie could I
not even tell whether he was a white man or
a black man. Persons living In the building
say they saw a while man go Into that room
drunk several days ago, but had not seen him
, since.
The saw-mills ami the lumber-dealers hav|
Ins closed their business, the county under!
takers announce their inability to bury the
dead. It is thought the Mayor will press all
the lumber to bo found, to be converted Into
cotllns for the pauper dead, The undertakers I
nrc pressed to bury tlic dead, nnd at Elm wood j
! Lot to-duy doze us of coffined dead were lying
on the top of the trround waiting for Inter-1

Liitcr nnd More Horrible Accounts,]
Memphis..September 2,?'The list of new ea-1
scs and deaths, though not as long as those of j
yesterday and days previous, afford no coin-'
fort, when It Is known that only a few physl-:
clans made reports at the. health ofllce nndj
the un<lerlakers were unable to bury the!
dead for want of labor and material. This
was particularly the case with County TTndertakor
Walsh, who could not turn a wheel until

and it was nearly noon before he began
work. Hcstated toyourrenorterto-nlght

At Elmwood the coffins are plied up
In tiers, nothwlthslandlng that a large force Is i
constantly employed digging graves. It Is
the same at all the burying grounds.
Not less than twenty applications were!
made at the olllce of the board of health to-}
day to have dead bodies buried. Some had j
been dead since Friday and Saturday and j
were In an advanced Slate of 'decomposition.
Two bodies were reported to be at. No. 1(W ,

to the eblefof police for assistance focnnblebim

peremptorily refused, on the ground that the

number of new cases and deaths to-day are
considerably less. Destitution and want, ar^
on the increase. White persons, who canno'

went daily to take their place in a lone line
and draw the rations which the sonorous people
of tlieXortn had sent ill groat shiploads

AN ALABAMIAN ASSASSINATED.
The Sole Object of the Crime to Settle
up the Estate--Cold-lJloodcd
Confessions of the Official and his
Accomplice.
San Francisco, August 16. ? Troy Dye,
Public Amlnlstrator of Sacramento county,
has made a full confession concerning the
murder of A. M. Tullis formerly of Alabama,
on Girand Island. He confesses to have
Instigated the murder for the purpose of getting
control of theestate of tbedeceased. He
Implicates as perpetrators of the deed, Edward
Andersou formerly In his employ, and
another party, name not known. Anderson
has also made a confession corroborating that
of Dye. Anderson was to receive S7,000 to do i
thejob. They had previously tried to kill
Tullis by poison. They had also discussed
the murder of other citizens. Dye has heretofore
borne a good reputation In the community,
and his connection with the aflair has
created the utmost excitement and surprise.
I'he details of the confessions are to the fol- ,
lowing efl'eot: Dye had found the ofllce of
Public Administrator unprofitable, and said
several limes, in jesi, uiai nc wouiu nave 10 ,
kill some one to make it pay. The idea made J
n deep impresslou on his mind, and he took
Anderson, whom ho had for a long time had I
in ills employ, in liis butcher shop, and another
party, yet unknown into his council. <
Dye and Anderson charge the other with be- <
Ing the original tempter. They finally net- 1
I led on Tuilis as their victim, Dvc had been his /1
friend and neighbor forl2ycara, and knew the
value of his properly, and as Tuilis tad t
never been communicative concerning his
Family atlairs, it was supposed that lie
liad no relatives to claim the estate.
3vor two pionths ago, Anderson and the
unknown party, wont to Tuilis' place to put
:lie plan into execution, but their courage
"ailed them. Dye urged the crimo persistent- ,
y, and Anderson conceived the Idea of niurier
by poison. A bollle of poisoned cocktails
ivas prepared in asaloon kept by Dye & Clark,
II Sacramento, and Anderson went to Tuilis J
Wtensibiy in search of work. Anderson gave
lim the bottle,after a number of drinks together
from u boil I e of good liquor, and loft,
or some reason this plot failed. It was then "
lecided thai bold work was required. The I*
joat was buil'v at Dye's house in Sacranento,
and Anderson pulled it down
ho river, lie was joined by a conederato
below ; 111 e city, and they
proceeded to Tuilis' ranch. They found
lim in the orchard, knocked him
lown with a sand-bag. and shot J?
iim"? in several places. This was tho; J
ivenlng of Thursday the first instant, at 7:
),clock. Dye this evening stayed at his house
n Sacramento, till 8 o'clock entertaining a
visitor; Ke excused himself, took a huggy, 1
irovc down the river 16 miles, met the nssas- J
iins at an appointed place and drove thera I
>aok to Sacramento. I
During the ride they related all the circumtances
of the murder to Dye. The trio re
urncd much under the Influence of liquor. ,
Dye says Anderuo'i had revealed to him
Times of his rast life, Including; the murder or
.wo sheep-herders, In iho vicinity of SHCrarnento.
Dye's plan for realizing on the estate
>f Tullls was to compound with the creditors.
Ills legitimate commissions would have been
ibout 83,200. Dye has always borne a Rood
eputation, but parties, now coming forward,
ifllrm that he was a bushwhacker during the
lute war and pillaged and murdered Indiscriminately,
The confessions cover about .
sljiht closely printed columns, developing
ivory stage of progress to the commission of
the crime, and neither party will be

CELEBRATED
LIVER PILLS,
FOR THE CURE OF1
Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint,
DVUrECSJA AND SICK 1IEADACHK.
Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
PAIN in the right side, under the
edge of the ribs, increases on pressure;
sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The
stomach is affected with loss of appetite
and sickness; the bowels in general
are costive, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally a considerable loss of memory,
accompanicd with a painful sensation
of having left undone something
which ought to have been done.
A slight, dry cough is sometimes an
attendant. The patient complains of
Ifairinnpc- fln/1 Kn to pacilv I
VT \~<Xl ill V.JJ UIJU U\.UUIk^ y liV M*J VMUll^
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains of a prickly sensation
of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exercise
would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon rip fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
hare occurred where few of them existed,
yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the liver to
have been extensively deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
Dr. C. McLane's Liver Pills, in
cases of Ague and Fever, when
taken with Quinine, are productive of
the most happy results. No better
cathartic can be used, preparatory to,
or after taking Quinine. We would
advise all who are afflicted with this
disease to give them a fair trial.
For all bilious derangements, and as
a simple purgative, they are unequaled.

The undersigned have been appointed sole
agents for the sate of "McCOSDSCOLIC MIXTUBE,"an
infallible cnrelfor colfe in horses
mules oreattle. This preparation was pattented
June #), 1XW), nnd in the short time
which lias elapsed since lias attained i reputation
unequaled by any patented medicine
on the globe. We have In our possession testimonilus
from numerous persons who have
used It:
I have had two occasions to use McCords
Colic Mixture In cases that seemed desperate.
The mi -cess in curing was apparently magical,
It is administered without trouble or de
lay, is speedy In action, and I think Is so valuable
that every person who manages horses
or mules should keed It at hand.

I saw Mr. McOord use Ills medicine on a
