A list was thrust through the' window t.s Hunter locked and barricaded the front door. There were four attacks made in live hours. Between the first two attacks Hunter went to Peter toland's house for assistance. They were all from home. Everv moment it was expected that all in the house would be killed. The third time they appeared they formed in front of the house, the cavalry command, " Right and left wheei, charge !" was given. Hunter was attending Court in Colfax. His character is of the highest. In rela tion to warrants and arrests of citizens by order of the United States Circuit Court, he claims that the accused are entitled to bp tried before the DistrictCourt of Grant, Raj)ides or Nachitoches parishes, us the case may be, and by a jury from the vi cinage. He says that every man will sur render when they are satisfied that a lair trial by jury, composed of men who un derstand the circumstances,, regardless ol' color, can be obtained.

It ia dated Kingston, Jamaica, October 23; " Since our arrival we Have had a splen did time-feast after least and ball after ball. The first ball was given by the Peruvian minister in honor of Gen.

And near Ten Thousand Bushels of Corn! This year this mill has not been running be cause there was no Wheat or Corn in the country to grind ! In 1863 our women farmers sold corn, floury bacon, and lard. In 1878 our men-farmers (so-called) buy every pound of corn, flour, bacon and lard they consume-, and "bust" raising 13 cts. cotton. Truly a sad commentary on the short-sighted and ruinous policy -bf "the lords of creation." But let these men-farmers (so-called) now make amends for their past blunders, and forth with sow heavy crops of Wheat and Oats, and all will yet be well. Outrageous Conduct of-Chester Radi cals. The officials in -Chester seem to be do ing their best to work ; up the white peo ple into an outbreak against their author ity. Some weeks ago an account of" the arrest and shameless treatment of a white lady was published. Upon the heels of j that outrage comes thc following, which is taken from the Cheater Reporter. . " We regret to be compelled to chronicle another most inexcusable outrage in this county perpetrated under the pretence of legal authority. Or rather, we regret that we can do nothing more than chronicle it. Employed oh the farm of Mr. John A. Marion, a few miles east of this place, is a respectable young white man, named Hen ry Ferrell, aged about twenty-two years. He was summoned to work on the public highway last summer; but forgot the mutter and neglected to appear when sum moned. On last Monday Isom Grier, a negro constable, went to the plantation of | Mr. Marion, with a warrant for the arrest of Mw Ferrell as a defaulter; on a warrant issaed by Ben 'Michael, a negro trial jus tice. The constable found Mr. Ferrell em ployed at the gin house of Mr. Marion, and arrested him. Mr. Ferrell desired to go to the dwelling house to get his coat, M tte being in his shirt sleeves, and for the purpose of letting Mrs. Marion, the only other, white person on the plantation at the time, know where he was going to. This privilege was refused him by the ne jro constable, and, upon his insisting upon joing to the house the said constable call ad lo his assistance some other negro men who were at work about the gin house, seized the young mau, overpowered him, ind tied him hard and fast. He was brought to town, thrown into jail, and on ruesday was carried before Michael and jqueezed to the extent of ten dollars and ninety five couts. He was only a default jr for one day's work on the roads. These ire the facts as furnished to us by Mr. lohn A. Marion, than whom there is no nor? respectable nor truthful man in Ches ts); Comity. " It is our deliberate conviction, and :ias been so for some time, thaD it is the *ettled purpose of certain Radical officials io goaii the'white people of this section of , ?out) try into laking the law into their own j lanca and resenting thc indignities that ire cpntinnally being heaped upon them lhderthe pretended forms of law.

With 1 /his conviction upon our minds all that I ve can advise our white brethren to do is 1 ;o grin and bear for the present. We be ieve that there is a God above us who t oves justice and truth and hatea false- c mod and oppression, and that in His own , ?ood time our present rulers, all of them, ?egroes, carpet-baggers and scalawags, 1 viii be seen calliug 1 upon the rocks and J ;he hills to hide them from the fury of an r mtraged and long suffering people." f ^3)r- No man can afford to make 13 cts. t jtton unless he also harvests full crops t >f Wheat and Oats. t Thc Late Mr*.

From the Augusta Constitutionalist. Dr. LaBorde. MESSES. EDITORS : Please allow me, .a .former student of the University of South Carolina, a space.in the'columns of your paper to express the deep regret, not alone of myself, but of the whole community and th6 students of the University, on the death of our once illustrious Professor, Cr. Maximilian LaBorde. The University of South Carolina was once the finest insti tution in this country. As you glance with a a retrospective eye over the cata logue of its students, you will find the names of jurists, statesmen and warrior?) there was the nursery of their greatness ; there was the arena ol' their first struggles for fame, the most distinguished orna ments of the Bar . and bench ; the ' men who hav? been prominent in the councils of the nation. She has produced men Jike illustrious Calhoun, Preston and other noble sons of South Carolina ; but the University was what such men as Dr. La Borde made her. Still both are now gone, one by the hand of men called, hy name the rulers of the State, whilst the other has been removed from our midst by the will of our Heavenly Father. No longer will that silvery voice be heard m the lecture.rooms, no longer will that sweet smile cheer " the boys" onward to their duty. Just as long "as there is a student of that University left the name of La-' Borde will be remembered, and the granite pillar of that institution will be an ever lasting monument to perpetuating the memory of Dr. LaBorde. And like the responsibility of the father using the last opportunity to speak the word? of wisdom to his childicn, he, as our beloved profes aor, has spoken them to us, and we wi! heed them as we ascend the ladder of fame. Sulfice to say, fello.w-students, " Dr. La Borde is Dead." L. ^se-Sow Wheat, Ryo, Oats,-a full crop-and in harvest time your heart'wi.1 be made glad, aud you will be independ ent of tho " ben merchants." Samanta and Big Tree. When Santanta and Big Tree were re leased from the imprisonment which they justly merited, they made the United States Commissioners ' " a big talk." Ac lording to the interpreters, who usually liave a flavor of Cooper's novels in their translations, Big Tree made sundry allu sions to the leaves of the forest, to which his people were comparable, and to his lieart, which was " sdft and good." He joncluded his oration by saying : " I hav< ' learned something from you whites;' ?now enough not to fight-yo.u again.!' This nobie savage has a short memory ie has not been out of jail thirty, days, ind he is now on a raid, plundering and ourning with all his ancient freedom, santanta and Big Tree were tried, convic ted, and sentenced under the law of Texas, Hie whole proceeding being in exact accord, ince with tho newest phrases ot the Li lian poUcy of the Administration. With jut consulting the . Governor of Texo^ who has the pardoning., power, au agent ? the President promised tb at thc con victed Indians should be released ; they were so released, " in order that tlie Pres dent might keep his word." The result s not a little mortifying ; but the Indians, who promptly promised good* behavior, loubtiess think the whole alair a first-rate oke. j . vj.-.? ~? . *?? ^.?W?t?t?*ii(6rl '"".. . - I Mr. Timothy" Hurley-who has lately .iseu to eminence by his persistent op Mwdti?n to the administration in South Jamima, as he was formerly distin guished lor his many acts of corruption ind dishonesty-seems (says the Chroni cle d' Sentinel) to have made a sensation >y his recent onslaught upon the Su nville Court. Thc redoutable Tim round y charged that the Chief Justicqguui au issociate Justice of the Court received wenty-tive thousand dollars for (he do ision rendered in the bond case, and hat tho colored portion of tho bench was nade to give its opinion gratis. Tho ludges have called upon Hurley for a etraetion, or for the proof, and the in ereuce is that if he refuses to give either he one or tho other, he will hear some hing to his disadvantage. In the event hat Tim declines acceding to either of | hose reasonable requests, we are curious o know what course thc learned Judges viii pursue in the premisos. Occupying he position they do they can hardly send lim a chaiionge to mortal combat, nol an they obtain satisfaction byan assault nd battery upon tho person of the tra lucor. Perhaps they will discard both f these remedies as impracticable and, ustead. perform that mysterious cere uony of "branding"' which so often brills tho community with horror. - -*~a>*- . L Negro Sent to thc Penitentiary fer Marrying a White Woman. In South Carolina and Alabama and he other reconstructed States uueler thc ?lings of Federal Judges, it is no offense ur white and blacks to marry, if we are lot mistaken such a case has been adju liealed in Alabama, and the negroes and vhitc skins can marry without let or hin Irauc?. But that'' is not tuc way the hing works, iii at least some ol' (lu; so alled loyal States. In indiana such mar iages are illegal, and there is now a ne ;ro man undergoing imprisonment in the Penitentiary, for marrying a white woman. The Courier Journal, in which we find lie item, has this to say about the ca.?c: )n tho 3d day. of May. 18,73, a negro lamed Nic??las Kigerj living in Clark aunty, indiana, married a woman of ihe .ame county, and State, named Mary Wil iams. The Supreme (Jouf t of the State if Indiana decided last winter that the burteenth amendment can not be constru id to imply or grant the right of inter naniago of negroes with whites. Riger vas accordingly indicted for the crime . of ntermarriage with a white woman, and vas tried for the offense on the 7th day of nst August, before Hon. Cyrus L. Dun lam, Judge of the Clark County Crimi lal Court, at Charlestown. The defen lant pleaded guilty to the charge in the ndictmesi, and the court has assessed his punishment, at one year's confinement in ;he State prison- and a line of $1,000. lames K. Marsh was prosecuting attor ?ey in this highly colored case of misccge ?ation. It is to be regretted that the law prohibiting these marriages of amalgama ron does not provide for tho. punishment if both the woman and the man. The aw might also be rendered more effective f it was framed so as to reach the minis ters or. other persons who solmenize the rites of marriage betwe?n the " high con tracting parties." ^ Ey Ra ung cotton at the present I prices, to tho exclusion of other crops is not remunerative-but the Wheat, Ryo and Oat? crop is always .remunerative, regardless of the price obtained for Cot ton. .
