Burglary in ?IcUui?e louuty, Ga.
Arres t of tnt Parties.
Front the Chronicle <? Sentinel, 19th.
On yesterday afternoon four voung men
were brought to this city from Thompson,
McDuffie county, and committed to jail
on a charge of having committed burgla
ry at night. From a well known citizen
of the county, who formed one of the
prisoners' escort, we get the following de
tails of an aiTair which has created great.
. excitement in the neighborhood where it
occurred : At a late hour on last Friday
night, Mr. Jesse Evans, an aged citizen,
who lives near Sawdust, was awakened
by the report of a pistol, and discovered
that some one was shooting at his dog.
Two-shots were fired, one of which wound
ed the animal. A party of men then' en
tered the piazza and ordered those within
to open the door. Mr. Evans asked who
thev were and what they wanted. One
of them replied that they" had just killer!
t two negroes, and^needed money with which
to leave the county. Mr. Evans said he
had no money ; but they refused to believe
him. and threatened to "force the door un
less it was opened. 'Mrs. Evans kindled a
bright light upon ! he hearth, and at the
fame lime the ebor was opened by her
hushund. Three men entered, all ol' whom
wer-? -disguised and ned their faces mask
ed. The leader preaeufod a pistol ac the
old-man's head and ordered him to give
up all of his money, upon penalty, of death
. ii.he r-jfused. Mr. Evans gave" them all
he ha i in the house-as resistance would
have k?en useless-about three hundred
I and thirty dollars in currency and seventy
dollars in specie.
During the parleying the mask which
concealed the features of one of the men
fell partly off, but was quickly replaced.
After obtaining the money the men retir
ed, without committing any actof violence.
t Ou?ai.urd*y morning a "little boy who
had Leon in the room cm the night'of the
robbery, a grand-son on Mr. Evans, sta
ted that he knew the party whose mask
had falhjn off, and that his name was
Thomas -^Willis. - That afternoon Willis
was arrested in Thomson, and at once con
fessed-h is share in the transaction. He
also implicated five other young raen, Cap
tain C.V. Hamilton, John Ramsey. T. H.
Long. George Hutt and Adolphus*Roney.
Captain Hamilton and Messra" Long, Tull
ona Roney were taken into custody and
kept under guard that night. Sunday
morning the prisoners were brought be
fore two Justices of the Peace for a pre
liminary examination. At the investiga
tion, we" learn, Willis turned Stata's evi
dence, and testified that there had been
an organized band in the county, at the
head of which wa3 Capt. Hamilton, and of
which himself, Long." Ramsey, Tatt and
Roney were members. The band had
been engaged in several expeditions, on
one of which thev had gone into South
Carolina and robbed the house of a man
named Johm-on. He said that himself,
Ramsey and Roney were the parties who
visited Evans' house. These three were
committed for trial on a charge of burgla
ry at night, Capt. Hamilton as anacces
' sory before tho fact, and- Mr. Tuft for the
alleged burglary in Sooth Carolina. Mr.
Ramsey mada his esca ?e bsfore arrest, but
it was believed he would be caught last
night. Capt. Hamilton was acad'-'.^Iry
shot by Willison Suturday morning, while
the latter was playing with a revolver,
but wa? not much injured. Several citi=
zena of the county formed the guard which
brought the prisoner to the citv.
Desperate Fig ht.
MEMPHIS, March 18.-A desperate fight
occurred on President's Island, four miles
below- this city, yesterday Dep. Sheriff
F. Rodegan Went there for the purpose of
arresting a negro named John White,-who,
for some time, has been th-i terror of the
negroes, living there. Rod-?gan was met
by a large body of armed negroes, who
proposed to assist in the aiTest, but they
stated that White had barricaded his cab
in and would-mike a desperate fight. Rod
ogan approached the cabm and demanded
the surrender of White, who refused, say
ing he would be murdered JV the negroes
if ne did. After some furlher parleying,
.one negro approached the cabin and w is
shot dead by White, who rushed out and
secured his gun. In a few minutes he
shot another and secured his gun, but was
woundc i as he retreated to his cabin.
White then opened a sharp lire, wounding
four otb-rs. "Rodegan, seeing that i:' was
impossible to dislodge him." sent to the
..rity for assistance.. De^u-y sin-ri.r Mir.
Payne summoned a posse, and wr-n? over
and proceeded to take measures lo i ir?
White's cabin. White then surrendered.
After hi3 arrest it was with great difficulty
the negroes were'kept from shooting "him,
they even threatening to shoot the officers
if lie was not delivered to them. Whii
W03 brought to the city and lodged in jail .
The prisoner has served a regular terra in
the Third Cavalry, and ii is said he has
killed several men before.

THE ADVERTISER:
Edgeficld, 8. C., Mar. 21,1872.
Canning and Dishonesty TS. Fire
and Bnrelar-proof Doors.
Among the Acts of the recent Legisla
ture we find the following:
Joint resolution authoririnK the8tat?
Treasurer to purchase a set of fire arid
burglar-proof doors for the vault in his
office.
Now considering.the report that Treas- |
urer Parkdr sloped two or three days ago,
from Columbia, taking with him some
$300,000 of the State's money, this Joint
Resolution really makes one laugh.
Treasurer Parker, at tho very time ho I
ought to have been at his post, paying off
the Assemblymen, (though we aro forced
to say that they do not deserve a cent) it
is rumorod here by Republicans, runs
away from Columbia,.and takes, thep.ub
lio funds with him. It is not known
whither he has gone, and many are the
rumors concerning his. disappearance.
Rut Mio current opinion is that he has
deliberately got away to keep from pay
intr the negro Legislators Many of these,
being poor, and in" a strait for money,
must take anything they can get for their 1
chocks against the State; i'arker doubt
less leaves behind a speculating agent,
who buys the cheoks of the poor negroes'
at fifty cents in the dollar. And then
Parker comes back,?and finds bis pile
made. Was ever meanness so pitiful be
fore?
From past experience, as exhibited in
the last few years, thora is'no earthly use
lor those fire and burglar-proof doors,
without the keys which unlock them are
given into the keeping of the white peo-.,
pie of South Carolina who pay the taxes? ?
''he New Railroads to be Built in
. Sonth Carolina. '
We give below, the titles of the new
Railroad Acts passed by the Legislature
just adjourned. The Actsthemselves we
will publish at an early day :
An Act to charter the Raleigh Colum
bia and Augusta Air Line Railroad Com
pany. . .
An Act to <-harter the Spartanburg and
Port Royal Railroad Company.
An Act to charter the Greenwood and
Augusta Railroad Company. <
An Act to ' authorize the formation of j
and-to incorporate the Spartanburg and
Aiken Railroad.
Tho last mentioned Is our road-the
road which is to run from Spartanburg,
by Laurens, Ninety-Six, and Edgefield.
This Act is the first decided step in the
matter. And now let all the workers,
and thinkers, and writers, and speakers,
and monej'ed men, interestedin the mat
ter, bestir themsel7es forthwith and to
the triumphant end. We will have more
to say upon this all important subject
next week.
hy there is uo Money in the State
Treasury.
This question, (says the South Caroli
nian) was answered by Representative
Whipper, a colored Republican, a law
yer, and one of tho ablest colored men in
the SUte.
During the closing hours of the late
Legislature, quite an angry debate oc
curred when tho committee appointed to
wait upon the Treasurer and make in
quiries into the prospect of the per diem
reported that he could only give orders
to thc members on the County Treasu
rers. Representative Whipper said:
" There was no money in the Treasury
now, because it had all gone into the
pocketsof the members, who were bought
to vote against impeachment. Decency
ought to tell the member from George
town to keep his mouth shut, when it
. was well known that most of the money
rolled out of the Treasury" into his pock
et. If he was not so black, he ought to
blu.Nh for his shanie, and the majority of j
the members ought to gp to their closets
and ash God to forgive them their infamy."
This now is the judgment which a mem
ber of the Legislature of South Carolina
passes upon that body.
The Ku Klux Act os Trial.
The oaae of T?r. A YO-J.- ana chu
ssens of South Coro.'.ina, indicted under
tiio Enforcement or Ku Klux Act, is now
being argued before the Supremo Court
in Washington. The ca?e involves the
constitutionality of the said Act. Attor
ney General Williams and Assistant At
tornoy Hill for the Government, Messrs
Doverdy Johnson and Henry Stanbery
?br tho defense. The upsot cannot yot
be announced. It might he reasonably
predicted however.
Senator Aruim Protects Against the
Validating Bill.
The so-called Validating Bill-another
most nefarious Act,, concocted by Radi
cal thieves, and passed by our ignorant
and corrupt Legislature-is that instru
jnriii which validates all issues of bonds
lOretofore made in the name of tho State
if Srmtli Carolina. In ?hort, this bill
make* good and lawful tho entire amount
b-.ndshnretoiore issued, and estima?
.M? as nearly ?td,000,000. This is dono
vitln-ai reference to the-legality of
MPS m.ide within the past two years, and
in regard to which the gravest doubts
..xis? in tho mind-, not only of the tax
payers or South Carolina, but dealers in
tonds elsewhere. And it has been open
iv charged, even by Radical members of \
he present Legislature, that there has
iieen au over issue ol' bonds to the extent
-r $(*.,000,000 or moro. Yet in tho face of
these doubts and charges, it is now at
tempted to stamp thc seal of efficacy and
legitimacy upon every bond so issued,
and thus deprive the Courts from settling
a question which properly belongs to
their jurisdiction. This hi^h-banded
\rt w,-\s protested against-and their prn
:est is spread upon thc Journal of - the
.kilato-by nino Senators, five Republi
cans and four Democrats Among these
?i.nnes we are glad to r.ec that of Sfnator
Arnim, of Edgelield.
4. ??other Ct....red Convection.
The convention of colored men which
?S ?ctnbled at Columbia, S. C., on the
l-".h October hist, to consider questions
be iriny cn thc welfare of their race, and
B u ved thomby the adoption of rt-solu
ti >ns endorsing the Administration, also
resolved that the President pf the Con
t'sntion, A J. Bansier, ol' South Caro
lina, should, in his discretion, call a re
assembling of the convention, at New
Orleans, on April 10. That officer bas,
wcordingly, issued hie c?ll for the April
.nnvention, " to consider the political
nid material interests of the colored peo
ple.'* _^
Democratic Taxation.
The rate of taxation, in North Carolina
for the coming year is les* than four mills
on the dollar, or 3*i cents on overy hun
dred dollars' worth of property. .This
ax is levied by a Legislature overwhelm
ingly Democratic, and is in striking con
trast with the Republican administration
of affairs in South Carolina. Tho Demo
cratic Legislature of North Carolina tax
the people less than four mills on the
dollar ; tho Radical Legislature of South
C troll na tax us near twenty milla on the
dollar. _

Carpet-bagging in Atrien.
It is no less strange than true (says the
Macon Tcleyraph) that Liberia has just
escaped Jjy tho skin of her teeth tho livre
rons of civil war through the" machina
tions of a yellow-skinned' earp?t-baggor
from Ohio, appropriately named Rogi
from which thc rascal had dlopped tho ?.
Roge, by some ehicanery. got himself j
elected President' of tho Republic and
ttr?n attempted to force throughan amend
ment pf the constitution by counting out
thc votes ol' three counties in tho four
composing that jurisdiction. This pro-*
duc-?d a popular revolt, and Roge then
called out thc' military to put. it down.
Thc military, however,, had th? good
sonso to side with the. people-a conven
tion was called- and they pitched Ror-e
Out qi the Presidential chair iuto jail,
and thoa reinstalled thoir ?ld Presi
dent, ito berts. Tims Liberia dealt moro
promptly with the carpet baggers than
.thc S'MUh was able to do, on account
of Grant. "The Boston Journal, from
which wo learn . thfw facta, says that
Liberia appears to bc nourishing, but its
natural resources need developing. Don't
dovelo]? that country, Mr. Journal. Let
it alone. Let the poor blacks go un
awi'?died to anv further extent"
j&ar*Thoold adage "it's an 111 wind
that blows nobody good," never was
more emphatically exemplified that in
tho ?a*o. of Messrs. Herring, Farrel A
Sherman, tho manufacturor-s of-the cele
brated Herring safes. Thc great Aro at
Chicago, brought to them nearly ono
hundred and fifty of the most valuable
Indorsements that cftn be given to a suc
cessful invention, and since that time
tho New York firm,, at 251 Broadway,
have been scarcely able to supply the
demand. What the business mun re
quires is perfect security for his trans
portaba property, and the Herring *afos
appear to haye reached in thoir various
severe tests the very climax of thia per
fection.
.The County Treasurer of Orange
burg, Capt. Frank H. Green, charges on?
