BELIEVED TO BE THE WORK OP AN INCENDIARY. Scarcely has the lurid light cf the de vouring flames died out of our own horizon than it illumines, with horrid glare, that o? | Johnston-where so few years back the ?Ire fiend wrought a mighty devastation. Indeed incendiary conflagrations have be come the prime curse of our broad countv; so much so indeed that very soon we must necessarily become an outcast ft om all Sie] insurance and all business protection. It is high time for stricter vigilance and .(ronger measure*. And truth to say, until we publicly fry some miscreant, thereby giving wholesome warning, this arson and destruction will not be apt- to ??se. The late fire at Johnston seemsvfryj *'%arly to have been incendiary, though* on Tuesday afternoon, when we visited the j ?cene, suspicion .?temed to be directed against no particular individual. The' lames were discovered between 3 and 4 o'clock on Tuesday morning, leaping high a*er?ereery~rrgainst the rear side of the slcre building occupied by Holland ? Gib son, but owned by Mr. John D. Eidsor. Mr. Eidson's private residence, on a side, street, stands in rear of this store and very narrowly escaped destruction. The burn ing store stood 5th from the corner at th* further or eastern end of the long business street. One door westward of it, 9tocd a a'.ore-bnilding owned by Dr. Cowies, and occupied by Mr. Johnnie Strother. On? door eastward stood the. store-building cf j Dr. Rushton, occupied by himself. Next came the unfinished store of Mr. P. N. Lott. Next an unfinished store of Mr. L. B. Whatley. And next, at the corner ol the street leading up totheBaptist Church, stood the large two story store-building of Mr. L. B. Whatley occupied by himself. These were the six buildings burned. Next eastward of Dr. Cowies' building, occupied by Mr. Johnnie Strother, stand* the store of Mr. W. L. Coleman jr. Bo tween the two stood a small wooden thop which was promptly tom away. Bul even with the tearing away of this little shop, the saving of Mr. Coleman's build ing was almost a miracle, inasmuch as it stood abreast of the Cowies building, and Y-ry few feet from it. The work perform 9 i in saving ibis building must have brm j equally valiant and persistent The east wall of the said building is almost reduc ed to charcoal. Next eastward of Cole man's stands the establishment of R. A. Turner & Brother; and next the tin store j ef Mr. Austin. The goods and effect i were dragged ont of these stores,'also out-] of Mr. Coleman's, entailing considerable ^^^?SMBB; ; o r.*. Mrjfchatley, Angosta at the time of the fire, and re turned on the morning train, only to iee the brave work of his early years totally destroyed by the anni tying llames. From Mr. John Zimmerman, the intel ligent and courteous agent of several fire insurance companies, we gained the fol lowing information concerning the amounts .f insurance upon the burned buildings ?nd stocks. Mr. L. B. Whatley upon his two buildings, $1,000 insurance; upon bis large steck, not a cent. He saved about one-third of his stock. His loss is said to be fully $7,000. Mr. P. N. Lott, upon hi? unfinished building, no insurance. Dr. Rushton, upon his building and immense stock of goods, $4,000. Mr. J. D. Eidsor, npon bis building, $2,C0O. Holland <fc Gibson, upon their stock, ?5,000. Dr Cowies, upon his two buildings-one them the smallshop that was tom away ?MOO. Mr. Johnnie Strother, upon his stock, {500. Total $12.000. Mr. Zimmeiman, whose office was in the upper story of I he Whatley building, saved the books of his companies, but lost his own books and furniture. The south side of Mr. Eidson's dwelling ?9 much de faced, and his furniture and household effects were seriously injured. One of his outbuildings was also burned. Holland ?fc Gibson, Dr. Rushton and Mr. Johnnic Strother saved extremely little of their ?tockB, in fact almcst nothing. Mr. What ley has already moved what little was rescued from bis establishment, to the new store of Herrin ? Clark, next door to Kempton & Hardy's, where, for the pres ent, he will continue the mercantile busi ness. g No one was sleeping in the budding in which the fire broke out; and no one had been sleeping there. The flames whm fust discovered were leaping up the out side of the rear wall. Death of Hon. R. H. Keroaghao. The Augusta Eveniug News makes this announcement of the death of a gentleman whose relatives and friends in Edgefield were numbered by the thousand. His honored mother, still living, was Martha Hammond-of j one of the oldest and best ntocka in this broad land. He was a brother of Mr. William Kernaghan, of John ston, and Mr. Thomas Kernaghan, o? Batesburg. Bob Kernaghan was a very fine fellow, and we are proud to claim him as having been an orig inal Edgefield man : Mr. R. H. Kernaghan died latt evening In Langley, S. C., from a se vere hemorrhage of the bowels. He was only thirty two year* old at the time of hie death, but was aheady s*rong in the confidence of his friends aid the earnest support of admiring constituante, Mr. Kernaghan was a member of the South Carolina Houte of Representatives, and was highly esteemed foi his ability and fine qualities. He was a brother of our worthy fellow citizen, Mr. George H. Kernaghan, and, like him, was ES thoroughly honest, candid and gen erous as men are ever made. The funeral tabes place this afternoon the old iamily residence of tl e )ther of the Messrs. Kernaghan, lburg, and the remains will be ifter the service about 4 o'clock mata cemelery. 55 RESPONSE SENTENCE, (ii the Court Room--fudge fr's Address.-.The Assassin's Poise and Manner-A Flighty Harangue abd a Ceol Conclusion-He ls"not Afraid to^Die. Telegram Jo the J gusta Chronicle. . WA&HIHGTO* , Februry 4.-After [ the - " ior a new trish had been overruled, Guiteau, whs had been pei mi ti ed to resume hid sett at the counsel table, called out : "If your Honor pleases, I desire t? ask if there i* any motion thatlougkt to make to I rescue my rights ?" Scoville tried to prevent hit speak I in?, but he retorted : "Well, I don't : want any advantage taken of me. I.want to know how .mar-M time I shall have to prepare my appeal to the Court in bane." Scoville-"Please keep quiet ; we haven't reached that yet." Guiteau (with much excitement) ,!I won't keep quiet. I'm here ?nd I [ ropo?e to do my own talking." Judge Cox then informed Scoville ol I bc? rule?) ol practice applicable to filing of hie exceptions, ?md after thia matter had been a/ranged, Col. Corkhill renewed his motion, saying : "It is now my duty te atk for a sen tence ot the Court." Judge Cox (to r.p? IT:.,-.,,*,-! "Stand up 1 Have you ??jrt&f?? to say why sentence ?hould not now le passed upon you ?" Guiteau (still sitting)-"I ask your Honor to postpone sentence as long as possible.'' Judge Cox-"Stand up ! Have you anything to say why sentence should not now be pronounced upon you f The prisoner then arose, pale,'but with lips compressed, and desperate determination stamped upon his fea tures, in a low and deliberate tone began, but soon hie manner became wild and violent,and, pounding upon the table, he delivered himself of the following harangue : "I am not guilty of the charge set forth in the indict ment. It was God's act, not mine, and God will take care of it, and don't let the American people forget. He will take care of it, and every of fleer ot this Government, from the Executive down to th?t M amita I, taking iu every man on that jury and eveiy member of this bench, will pay fdr it ; and the American Nation will roll iu blood ii my body goes into the ground and J am hung?

' ' iiT8^ TASS SENTENCE, iddTTfseing the"prisoner as follows 'You have bwen convicted of crime io terrible in its circumstances and io far reaching [thd it hat drawn apon you the horror of the whole world, and the execrations oi your country tue ii. The excitemonr pro inced by such an ol?anse made it ri? easy task to secure fer you a fair ?ind impartial trial, but you have had the power of the United States Treasury aud the Government. in your service to protect your person from violence, and to procure evidence from ail parts o.1 the country. You have Iud RS lair and impartial a jurj^ as ever assem bled in * court o' justice. You have been deteuded by eoun?ici with /.ea! and devotion th;tt^meiits the highest encomium, and I certainly luve done my best to secu:e a fair presentation of your defense. Notwithstanding all this, you ha^e been lound guil^ . It would have been a comfort to in?ny people if the verdict ot the jury had established the fact that your act vvaB that of an irresponsible man. It would have left the people the sat isfying belief that tue crime of po litical assassination was something entirely foreign to the institutions and civilization of our country, but the result has denied them the com fort. The country will accept it as s fact that, that crime can be com nutted, and the Court will have to deal with it with the highest peualty known to the- criminal code, tu'aerve eu au example to others. Your ca.? r^er han been so extraordinary that people might well., at times, ha; <. doubted your canity. Bul om-can not but believe'that wheo the crime WHS committed you thoroughly un derstood the nature of the crime and it? consequences." (Guiteau-"I was neting an God's man,") ,;Ht?d that you had the rubial sense and con science enough ^recognize the monti equity of such an act." (The prise ner-' That's a matter of opinion.") "Your own testimony ehows that you recoiled with horror from tue iden. You say that you prayed against it. You say that you thought it might bs prevented. Tnis shows that yt ur conscience warned you ag-unst it, bat by the ?retched sophistiy of y .ur own mind, you worked yours*If no against the protest ot your own e inscience. WI at motive could have induced you to this ad must be a matter of conjecture. Probably tuen will think that the ?am? political f inaticism or morbid desire ior self exultation was tke real inspiration f?rthe act. Your own testimony 13 ms ti controvert the theories of y .ur counsel. They hate maintain el ?nd thought honestly, I believe, tuat you were driven against your will by an insane impulse to commit the act; but your testimony chowed that you deliberately resolved to do it, and that a deliberate and mis guided will was the sol? impulse. This may seem insanity to some per Twillful crime.' ?rou will..have opportunity of laving any errors I may bave j'committed daring the course ?.! the trial fpassed upon by the Court in bane; but, meanwhile, it is necessary for molo pronounce the sentence of law-that you be taken hence to the common jail of the Dis trict, from whence you came, and there be kept in confinement, and that on Friday, the 30th day of June, 18S2, you-be taken to a place of exe cution, within the walls of said jail, and.there, between the boura of 12, m., and 2 p. m., you be haDged by the neck until you are dead, and may God have mercy on your soul." During the leading Guiteau stood apparently unmoved and with his gaze riveted upon the Judge, but when the fiual words v/ere spoken, !he Etruck the table violently aud shouted : "And may the Lord have mercy on yoursoul. I'd rather stand where I do than where the jury does aud where your Honordoes. I'm not afraid to die. I stand here as God's man, and God Almighty will curse every man who^has had a part iu pro-juiing this unrighteous verdict. Nothing but. good has come from Garfield'a removal (and that will be the verdict" of posterity) on my in? spiiation. I don't card a snap for the verdict of this corrupt genera tion. I would rather a thousand times be ia my position than that of those who h.-tV? . hbundoTf inTto'd.-nfh. f^KAii i.??-?rion* nsgtii to glory, butr4tert^|^^lblesaoiin?hel Cornhill will haveTBErman-.-nt job down be low, v.'h^knhe devil is preparing for him." j After apparently talking himself Out, the prisoner turned to hi's brother, aud without the slightest .trace ol excitement, conversed for some minutes before being taken from the Court room. DISPOSING OF Tnr: BODY. Scoville eays "that the brain would have to be taken out/or post mortem examination. I think thal the rela tions favored th? proposition. I have nothing to do with] it. li rests with his brother .'.nd sister. Besides, the body is not, for sal? now, for there is a motion foi a new trial pending. 1 don't object to having the body em balmed. The proceeds, if there "were any, would be devoted lo paying Guiteaua debi.s. The surplus 1 would propose io nse i;; ameliorating the condition of the insane,"or to estab lishing a fund for the promotion of the b.nli-capita1 punishment doctrine. The body would have- to be cremated or timk in tho deepen', p .rt of the sea to save it from body snatch*, s. It would be taken like Stewarts b:>dy, and perhaps exhibited about the country, strung on wires, by some quack. I understand this apparatus preserves meats and vegetables so that at the end of two years tl oy are just as fresh aft when new I would rather have my body exhibited pre lasived in u-natmv.l -state tthan vWw. t eaten by twonns. His relatives ifould rather know thathis body was n tho hands ci some person who ivould take care oi it, than ubandon it to the body snatchers.*' The impression prevailu thal the Bxecution will take plac? no! later than June oO, and in view ot the re cent proposition to make a. public spectacle ot the th tu devers body it is thought that Judge Cox will exer? eise the discr?tion given him by ti e Revised. Statutes, and indujo in the sentence the disposition also ol the body. Section "5,8-iO of the Revised Statutes provides that "the Court be lore which any person is convicted of murder may, in its discietion, add to the judgment of death t hat the body ol the olfeader be delivered io a surgeon lor dissection, and tba! the Marshal who executes such judg ment shall deliver the body, alter execution, to .such surgeons as the Court may direct, and such surgeon, or some person by 1dm appointed, sbaii receive and takeaway Ihu body at the time of execution." As both the Bisters and the brother ot the as sassin have expressed fl strong deidre for a post mortem examination, and have der ounced any speculative dis position of the l ody, the Court may feel disposed to gratify their wishes in this: respect. In an interview last (-veiling the ac?aesin, who became much excited as he talked, sometimes stamping his feet with rage, said : "I want good iawyera to argue this easy.. Scoville U a poor man and I am sorry lor it. i! I had $5,000 I would give it lo my sister. When I get out. of this and ont lo lecturing I will have plen ty of money. I don't want Scoville to have any thing tod.) with tiie case." Guiteau a attention being called to the reported arrangement made by Mr. Scoville with a Philadelphia iii m to exhibit his body, hqfaid : ,-l won't have anybody meddling with my body. This thing Las been done without my consent, I don't want, my relatives lo make any money ont of it. Scoville had no business lo do it. I intend to will my body io tome in stitution, but I will have usa for it myself for a long time." Eiilargemeiw of Hie Pickens M II liiiel.
