PERUSER. C., Aug., 2018T4. 5E, UifsucKW MASAUSK astiug Oil Upon thc Waters, wo are almost -ready to go to press, Wednesday morning at ll o'clock, wrence C*in, our colored Senator, en ters our office and requests us to publish amunication just prepared by him. Ttr^? cow mon ication is -wise, ninety, coj?yf^ory, and apparently honest. In the .existing and constantly u^HsjSeiterncnt among both whites lacks-and in face of tho momenta probability of an outbroak in some ion of our County, Cain, as Colonel of Reg't. of Milkia, denies cin flly ttssi any of his.men havo am munition-andfsvers that they will not have it except in th^^uyiastextreinity. He also omphat^any denies any design of the militia I? influence the elections, and embodios an order which has al ready been given to his Regt. tlmt no company shall appear with arms at a political meeting. He solemnly asserts that the state ments of the incendiary character of late spoeehes by Mc Devitt, Paris Simkins and himself are very exaggerated-i n d almost groundless. He invites the white people to attend all future politi *cal meetings and hear for themselves. And lastly he avows the strongest desire to do anything on bis part to inlluenco tho people of his race to peace and order and professes a perfect willingness ta meet the white? half way* in any meas ures of conciliation. In the meantime, let us exhort our p3ople of all colors and parties to make ??very endeavor by word and deed to al lay tho pftsent alarming feeling of ex ciiement A Good Chance to Write Biography. The Governor has appointed Lawrence Cain, John H. McDevitt and F. A. Bel anger, as Commissioners of E'ectiou for Edge?eld County-all thorough Radicals. McDevitt, County Treasurer, and Belan ger, County Auditor, are appointees of Moses, holding their cilices at Iiis will :-n:id". pleasure.. And Cain, the colored ., is k? ?own a-, having always been an unwavering myrmidon of the Robber Governor. We need say no more ! The following aVticle from the Charleston 2?eios cfc Courier bogs for sketches of " the private history and public career*' of these Commissioners. Where is "Ho mer?" He is emphatically tho man for this task. If, however, tho Netas <0 Cou rier will receive the whole matter in three comprehensive vords, we will give iL Negro, carpet-bagger, scalawag. We pot "^ne^cr^Tirstbecause n?, raspee* him most: "It is generally believed that Gov. Moses expects the Commissioners of Elections, who are his appointees, to * count him in' if he secures the Repub lican nomination for the office of Gover nor, and to 4 count a Canservativo condi date out,'in any event. Some of thea], pointments have already been announced, and, that the public may know what to expect before the election, and what to do after the election, we beg the friends cf the cause of good government in every county to send to us, as rapidly as possi ble, abrief description of the private history and public career of the Com missioners of Elections for the county. We want such hard facts as will show whether the Commissioners are honest men or corrupt politicians, and these the Conservative citizens of the several c mnties can surely give us." - The white people of this County ought to watch our ballot boxes fearlessly and religiously from beginning to end.

It came to pass on one of thoso extraordinarily- hot days last week. The Langley pond is immense covering 600 acres. At a certain hour there came and rested over this pond a "?uTaTTbutdark cloud; and tho waters were troubled and ran in huge waves. Presently tho cloud shot downwards a conical column, and simultaneously the waters shot upwards a like column. The two met in mid air, and formed a gigan tic tube or tunnel, through which mill ions of gallons of water were sucked up from the pond into tho cloud. As the sucking process went on, thc column did not remain stationary, but moved slowly from near the dam to the Rail road trestle. It then disappeared, and the cloud moved rapidly off. On the same afternoon, soino hours after this, thero was a violent hail storm in the Aiken sx?tion--supposed to be tho outpouring of this remarkably laden cloud. Fresh Water from the Spring at any Moment. Our well-known fellow-citizens, Messrs William Spires, E. G. Whitaker and J. H. Gardner have applied for a patent for tho "Now Improved Water "Fetcher/' At Landrnm's Store, the other day, we saw one of these labor-saving machines in operation ; and really it performs re niarkablyw,well. When the weather is "Telement, oTaT night, you may stand '1er a shelter, or in your piazza, and .?iw up a bucket of water even from a distant spring in a few moments, and with very little exertion. The improvement consists of iron braces nearly upright, instead of wooden arms in a horizontal position. The New Water Fetcher is so cheap as to be within tho reach of almost every Farmer-in fact, any Farmer can do the most of the work about it himself. If we are not greatly mistaken, generations, yet un born, will rise up to call the Inventor, Mr. E. G. Whitaker, not only blessed, but of happy memory. May he and his coadjutors reap a rich reward for their labors in behalf of toiling humanity. So mote it be! South Carolina's Monument to Her Soldiers. The subjoined letter will explain itself. And Miss Wigfall begs ns to state that, in compliance with this request, and for the furtherance*of so noble-nay, holy an object, she will in the courso of the coining fall get xip an attractive public htertainment of some sort, appealing s early to the patriotic people of Ofield for their liberal co-operation patronage : ss CHAMOTTE WIOPALL,-I am di ""*~fjy the Board of Managers of the lonument Association to ask your in terest in its behalf. Will you not under take to make collections and raise fnnds for us ? The work on the Monument has progressed rapidly so far, but ?5000 are still needed for Its completion.

EDITORS,-The people of the State ol South Carolina remind me very much, in their management of the affairs of the State, of a medical man who in tho management, or treatment rather, of intermittent fever, waits until a par oxysm comes on before ho commences to administer his blue pills or calomel and quinine. Tho elections aro the par oxysms of the Suite. The disease I sh mid have staLed first is diagnosed to be Radicalism, negroism, misrule, and high-Taxes. We tho citizens are tho ".t tending medical gentleman. A paroxysm is at hand, and very littlo if anything to ward it off has been done during the in terval, the most opportune time for treatment in this disease. Tho disease is still making rapid progress to a fatal termination, and still no decided stand in tho treatment has been taken. Tho true friends of the State are growing anxious about her safety, mid aro heard to say relief must bo had if it costs us our all. If the united heads of the medi cal' profession of the State can't savo tho Statelet us invito about twenty or thirty thousand brother Mcdicoes from ?cross tho water and see what their reading and j skill can accomplish. I say, Messrs. . Editors, we have allowed an interya) of I two long years to pass1 by without our taking any decided stand in tho treat ment of thc disease which has been prey ing upon the vitals of thc Stato for the last seven or eight years. It is very true a few palliative pills have boen giv en, arda few complaints have beeurWJ?o1 through the papers^ pf/Tue unnatural God-nevcr-intende^T'state of affairs in which Said ourselves to-day. s*??\? humblest of us, intellectually, could see plainly several years since, that South Carolina had swallowed a deadly poison in the shape of Radicalism, misrule, negroism, high taxes <fcc. And yet wo havo dono comparatively nothing to relieve the State of these evils. Upon j whom does the blame rest? Why, upon the shoulders of the good, true and na tive born citizens of South Carolina, who havo all this while been in possession of j the proper remedy. Indeed the Materia | Medica has been lying wide open ever since tho last election, begging to be con sulted by tho good citizens of the State ; and at thc top of the first page and at thc head of the list of Antidotes might have been seen written in legible characters Immigration, Immigration. Wo Avant a house on the top of every hill in South Carolina and a white family in each house. Yes, 3Iessrs. Editors, let us see to it that before another election rolls around after the^pne in November next, that South Carolina takes a big dose of the AiUidota. . j\ J Let os do Ul ii-o "ein Tfjniio coim:;y* election in November next, to find relief j for our State, but if we fail let us, as one man, swear by all that is high and holy, that the Antidote to be found iii Immi gration shall be administered, in a big dose at that, in tho next two years after the next election, if ii costs us ono half j the land we possess and tho last dollar we may have. Let us spend no moro valuable tin.? in reasoniug with a people who aro perfect ly void of reasou ; in preaching high Taxes to people who pay no tases ; in I attempting to convince a race of people j of the necessity and importanco of re- ? form in our present Stato government, who are slaves to a set of thieves, and are not open to conviction, and who ex pect to be made rich by tho government. I repeat, let us spend no moro valuable time in spasmodic, futile ellbrts to ac complish impossibilities; but let us unite for the great work that is just ahead of us-decide as to tho means to bo used and let us, as one niau, act accordingly. HOPEFUL. COLD BLOODED MURDER AND SWIFT RETRIBUTION ! CAPT. A. F. BUTLER MURDERED IN THE PRESENCE OF HIS WIFE RY A NEGRO THE MURDERER LYNCHED IN SEVEN HOURS AFTERWARD. Capt. A. F. Butler, Agent of the South ; Carolina Kailroad Company in this city, j was shot in the head by a pistol in the j hands of a negro named Gabriel Murrell, about 7b o'clock yesterday evening. Capt. j Butler is now lying at death's door, and it is not thought that he will Uve through the night. The circumstances of the shoot ing were these : Capt. Butler and his wife, with a little niece, the daughter of Mr. Tarver, were returning home in a street car from the cemetery, whither they had been to care for thfc graves of som? loved and lost ones. At the crossing of Broad and Marbury streets the car stopped to let them off. Gabriel Murrell and his broth er, Michael, wer? at or near the rear of the car, either on the steps or near the back door. Mrs. Butler asked Gabriel Murrell to move out of the way so tuat ihe could pass. He did not comply with her request until she had slightly pushed him with her hand. Capt. Butler then, seeing the conduct of the negro, said to him : " Why don't you get out of the la dy's way; if you act in that manner again I shall hit you," and stepped from the car with his wife and the httle girl. He had hardly gotten ojf when Michael Mur rell, as we are informed, pushed Mrs. But ler to one side, and Gabriel Murrell drew pistol and ?hot Capt. B. as stated above. The ball entered just above thc left tem ple, per atrating his brain, and lodged in bia bc?d beyond the reach of tho surgeon's hand. He fell at once to the grouud, but was speedily lifted and carried to his home, on the corner of Gjee'ne and Mar bury streets, two blocks from where he 'as shot. Morrell, the negro assassin, fled as soon as he shot, but was pursued and captured ">y officer Tinley, who sent a pistoj ball after the flying, murderous black villain, which grazed his lip. After ho was hit by this ball, he stopped and placed his hand to his pocket as if he were going to draw a pistol, but when Officer linley levelled his pistol full at his breast he threw up his hands and gave up and was carried to the guard house. Michael Mur rell was captured by Constable Geo. Boll ier and Officer Sharp, not however with out having'to be clubbed. Both the ne groes were workmen under Wm. Finch, contractor, and are aged, apparently, from 30 to 35 years. CAPT. A. F. BUTLER, the victim of this most shocking tragedy, is ono of the most universally esteemed citizens of Augusta. Among all the rail road officials in Augusta-and as a class we believe they cannot be e??'Cllc-d for gentlemanly- bearing-wo do not supp?T? one could be found who.is a more general favorite. ..Brave aba, man shpuld .be, he r?as erer quiet .and. courteous-altogether inoffensive'aijd. unobtrusive. '' His resi dence on Greene street is ono of the pleas antest mi prettiest ia tao city, '?was mi but day before yesterday that we passed it, and, as we saw him standing in the yard, near the edge of tho portico, reach ing up his hands and coaxing his baby to leave tho arms of its mother, ?"who was holding theiaughing little one over the banister, wo' thought, "bereis a happy home" How littlo did we think that home would so soon be so desolate 1 But it is so now. In all human probability, be foro we shall have ' finished the mournful task of writing this article, the loving wife and mother will be without a hus baud, and the laughing, bright-eyed babe without a father ; for when we saw him he was completely paralyzed on the right side, and the brains were protruding from the wound. Capt. Butler ras an c?icer throughout the war in the Conicc'.crate army, and a gallant soldier. He fa about 35 years ol ago.' AT THE HOUSE. The scene at tho house of\hc wounded man was heartrending. There, in one chamber lay the bleeding, paralyzed form ot the husband and lather, with thc lite tide ebbing surely and swiftly out, sur rounded by skillfuLsurgeons and anxious friends, and in thc next was the agonizing wife who had just, seen the stay and prop of her life shot down by her side, without one note of warningand for r.o cause what ever. Andyet, notwithstanding the great shock from witnessing such a horrid trag edy, this devoted wbman assisted in car rying her husband to their home:-thal hume which but-an hour before was.se full of joy and hope- -now so filled with sorrow and the shadow of death. THE MOST IKTEXSE EXCITEMENT Prevails among the very best classes ot our citizens, and it is thought that they cannot be restrained from lynching the cold-blooded murderer, whose heart u blacker than his skin. LATER.-We have just learned thal Capt. Butler is dead, 'fia asi we expect ed. There was no hope from the begin ning. May Cod temper the blow to tho stricken wife. THE STREETS ?Are resounding with tho tramp of excited men. Augusta has never known anion horrible and unprovoked murder thar this. Her? is a black devil who, not con tent with the privilege accorded him by the reconstruction laws of riding in the street cars with refined gentlemen and delicate ladies, must needs shoot down, like a dog, the husband who ventures a remonstrance with him for not making room for .his wife to pass. It is liol enough tbiit be eau sit V/. the white citi zens imd their wives ac"! daughters-he must murder them -?dien they have tho temerity to insist upon his allowing theil wives and daughters to pass out of thc car. Men say, " who will bo tho next I victim ?" and women, trciiibJing Joy < thc 'lives of thoir^Jjji3i?rrl??s] their childrei ^md'?f?m"s*?lv?s, will be afraid' lo ente the car which, peradventure, must bi shared with Borne murderous black devi who may choose to enforce his " civi rights" at the pistol's mouth. Wha though the life.of a gallant gentleman, t respected citizen, a loved husband anc father is sacrificed ? Is he not the "na tion's ward," and do .not t jie amendment; and the Civil Eights' bill muke him equal to the knigbtliest gentleman and "thc loveliest lady in the land, aud is he then equal if he doesn't shoot on the spot any white man who dears to reprove him foi standing in the way of a lady ? The heart sickens at the thought of the woe and misery this land has already ex perienced from the baleful political leach ing.! of the last few years and thc untold [ suffering y?fc ?? ?eme from them. ItETP.Iil?'fiOl?, Just as we arc about to go to press, in telligence reaches us that a large body ol armed men has taken the murderer from [ jail and riddled him with balls and bul lets. Truly, the retribution has been as swift and bloody as was the deed which caused it; biit V.'??9 shall say it was not merited ? Gen. Kcrshaw's Letter. Gen. Kershaw has written the following letter concerning our political st-tns ann CAMPEN, JS, C..; Jul}' 27, lb"7? MY DEA?. SIB-Your valued favor o] the 11th instant is before nie for reply. I have arrived at certain conclusions in my own mind in regard to the matter up on which you desire thc expression of my opinions, and I give them for what they may 1 worth. uQ restoration of an honest, economical ,.nd competent government to ?South Caro I lina at this juncture i consider the para mount duty of her citizens. Such meant and such sacrifices, consistent "villi honor, must be resorted to as may be found neces sary, practicable and expedient to accom plish, that end. With us it is no longer a question pf Republicanism and Democracy The struggle js for au JiQiiest government under which we can lu-e and ?fopner. lr comparison with that, party distinct-ions should go for nothing. Seeking no politi cal triuxiph, but simply the substitution of an honest and responsible government for the horde of plunderers who have rob bed and degraded the State, and throwr her back at least twenty years in thc march of improvement, we are entitled tc the sympathy and support of every righi thinking man, whatever be his pol?tica opinions. A be|lb;r feeling pervades the whoh country, j.t js a gr#jt pleasure to nob the steady growth of inore' kindly senti ment and feeling towards theSuutJi on th* part of thc North. In act and utterance we should at all times cordially reciprocate thc generous and friendly overtures heit out to us so frequently of late by tin Northern people and press, without dis tinction of party,- and esj>ecially by thc officers'and soldiers of the Union armies whose magnanimous and soldierly conduct in honoring the memory cf their faller foemen, on many recent occasions, is th? best pledge yet ofield pf a restored, happy and united Americanism. ? am pure that in our effort to rescue1 the State we i'jl. have the cordial support of the public opinion and press of the North ; but more important, because more immediate than these, the aid of the Federal Executive. President Grant can do more for thc speedy restoration of the State than ali other influences from without, and al though I fraye no political information other than sijLck .aa i; common to all hav ing access to the papers of th# day, still from the perusal Of these, I .epterhii; strong hopes he will not withhold hisgreal influence from so good a work. There is no overt hostility to his administration ir any part of the South ; certainly none ol any sort in an organized form in this State On the contrary, the Conservative elemenl look to him as their chief, if not only hope of good government. Congress has beer appealed to, and is powerless to remedy the syds under which we suffer. Thc ju diciary can afford no relief, for it has nc jurisdiction. The ?jpaputive alone car constitutionally and legally assist us. Il would be the crowning glory of Gen Grant's administration to effect a recon struction, and restore to the plundered alic ruined States of the South the blessings o: good government, and thc opportunity tc I enjoy "and to contribute to the future pros perity of the country. I cannot think that "he will bo indifferent, and I know how gratefully his aid would be apprecia ted by our suffering South Carolinians, Could he be brought face to face with thc monstrous evils which degrade and op press qa, nothing could prevent him from employing every prerogative of his vast power to crush tliem pyt forever. After all, however, ou? rcjjef depends mostly upon our own people. Let tjjjein organize and consolidate all honest mer who can rise above unworthy prejudices and party slavery, to rescue the State from anarchv.'ruin, and, ia the end, bloody des pair. Respecting tho Republican princi ! pie? of the colored citizens, we should ear ne illy seek their ???Operation in the move rrent. > The S tito "has been plunged inte tais ruin by the rapacity and dishonesty ol heir trusted leaders, who have brought '.hatne and obloquy upon thc party, whom ?onor and interests were in their keeping md trampled upon eyery right and inter est of the whole people in their.-insatiate greed for plunder.

Iw many would be required, for the true majority of the Radicals has always been exsggerated. The whites have never been fully polled since the war, and the ballot has never been free from frauds. To se cure such co-operation tho honest colored people should be invited to a full share of all public offices. Power entrusted to us should be administered without favor or prejudice, so as to secure tho best interests of the whole people, protect equally in the enjoyment of his just rights eve ry citizen, however high or humble, and promote the welfare of all alike, so far as may come within the legitimate sphere of government. Upon such principles only can harmony ? and good government be secured in thc present state of society hero. Co-operation iu thisgood work would lend to mutual depen i dence, respect and good will, and tend moro to the elevation andilcvelopment of . I. , colored neople than all other possible expedients. 7- ' ' J 1 consider these views* worth pondering at this time with reference io the tuxpay ! ers' movement and the "promised reform in the Republican party. Of course the policy of the people can only be settled by conventions of their authorized represen tatives, but it is well to take counsel to gether and lo interchange views before hand, in order that the public mind may ! settle down upon such measures as may be approved after due consideration. I ? firmly believe the hour of deliverance is ? at hand, if we but. be true to ourselves. . Indeed, the crisis does not admit the ! thought of failure. Success is a necessity; . failure is death, and disgrace to the Com . inohwealth. I need not say to you that Ldo not presume to dictate a policy, and consider . my opinions of much less importance than , you seem to attribute to them; such as they are they are heartily at your service.
