u;ted that his wituesses were not all
prCse.t, and he was not yet prepared
to go into an invTestigation. Ile was
willing. however, to waive a prelimi
niry examinatioD, and give-bail for
his appearance at court. Judge NJackey
decided. to go on with the examination,
with the understanding that the de
f&ndants should -have ample time to
get their witaesses, and that the exa
alination should be adjourued from
day to day for the purpose. The court
I room was densely packed with negroes,
aot more than a dozen whites being
present. Tennant was called, sworn
and preceeded to tell his story with
rariatious. Upon his cross-examina
tion by the court, he said that the
State arms, used by his men, when
the fired on the posse, belonged to
Capt. Bullock's company, ahd that he
had sent his men for them. His exa
mination and that of Charles Whitlow,
a member of his gang, lasted all the,
eveuing, and the case was then ad
journed over. Tennant is still in jail,
under the charge of arson, and the
negro lussy, who gave the informa
tion concerning the burming, is also
in custody.
The responsibility fur these troubles
can certainly not rest upod the white
people of Edgefield County. There
never was such an organized system of
public plunder in New York or Coluni
bia as there is in Edgefield. At the
last election every County officer elect
ed was a colored man, and the A
ministration of the finances rest entire
lv with the -favored race. Judge
lackey. who is investigating the con
dition of affairs, prouounces the entire
system "a huge grand larceny." The
Board of County Commissioners is
composed entirely of negroes-who I
are just able to write their own names.
Tennant, the outlaw, is a inember of
the board. On Friday Jdge Mackey
told me that he attempted to obtain
,acces to the rccords of the office, but
was unable to do so because the key
I of the office was iu Columbia, in posses
sion of the clerk of the board. who is
also a member of the State Senate. The
ProbAte Judge is a mulatto, named
Bowie, from Georgi:i, an utterly in
competent man, and one who, it is
said, is not unkuown to the police au
thorities in Augusta. The School
C?ommiissioner is an illiterate negro
boy. So is the Clerk of the Court. TheI
chief deputy of the clerk is a mulatto
from Ohio. who has been in the?Coun
tv only a few mjonths. The Coroner
is an incompetent negro. of whom
1Judge Mackey says : "The only ser
eie he could render-the County wouldj
be to make himself ithe subject of a
cjooner' inquest." The Sheriff, a
whit2 man. is described by Judg
Mackey in tefollowing"e~m : dHe
is an hionest and trustworthy man, but
has a disagreeable habit of appropria.
1ting the funds of judgment creditors
to his own use, on the ground that the
Cvuuty has not paid him for dieting
the prisoners under his charge." The
oinion of Judge Mackey upon the
Sadlministration of the jury law is emni
nent.ly suggestive. Said he : "Any
citizen who has had wrong done to
person or property, even the most vio
l2ist and ultra Democrat. can obtain
justice, provided he first makes satis
-factory financial arrangements with
the Jury Commissioner," "In short"
added the Judge, as I arose to depart.
"you may say that I assert that the
goveruntn i~n Edgefield County is a
ast system of lareeary." is
In the face of these facts, in tn
face of all this official rascality, misrule
and public pluridering, any unbiassed
I.IerSOn, who came here and lived awhile
ould be astonished to find the white
citzens peaceful and law-abiding.
Trhey are extremely sensitive, and oc
easionally ~quarrel and fight among
themselves; but the records prove that
for the past four years they have exhi
bited a degree of forbearance that enti
ties them to the respect of the country.
The lawlessness of Tennant and his
rascally militia has occasionally led to
disturbances between the blacks and
whites, but in every instance, these
were due to the threaitening attitude
of the negroes themselves. Ou the
19th of last September, when the
whites were alarmued by the action of
the militia at Ridge Springs, and the
centire County was under armis. a single
a.t of violence would have led '.o a
struggle, the result of which it is not
dtlicult to foresee. And yet the whites
r iained from attacking the negroes.
li you add to the rs;ttenness of the
(ounty government the injudicious
- and indiscriminate irming of tile ne
~roes by Governor MIoses, you will
hav'e the direct cause of these troubles.
Thavt the notorious Tennant should
hve been allowed to remain unmo
le t '1 in the County jail for three
nights protected by the very white
men who have been so bitterly de
- "ounced for their proscription of the
ne "gro, anid in the face of the proof
- awist him of being an incendliary
df an utlaw, is as strange as it is
true.
in any Northern or Western comn
muniy in the Unaited States lie would
have been at once taken fr m the jail
and promptly hung. I confess my
- elf unable to understand the forbear
ance of the white people of Edgefield
County. It has been published abroad
that th:re are hundreds of negroes
hiding in the swamps of the County
to save' their lives, ud that a negro is
not safe here who exhibits a tendency
to Republicanism in politics. This is
Ian unmitigated falsehood. The records
prove that there has rnot bee~n a single
Wease of a negro -being killed for his
political opinions in this County since
athe war. A good deal of stress has
been laid upon the fact that, at the
tlst elect ion. a negro man was killed

Complete Refutation.
Judge 3)ackey says that the white
people of Edgefield are the victims
of a "huge grand larceny." He has
been there, has made thorough in
vestization and he knows. Not one
of the thousand aboinable lies which
have been toll of this maligned coun
ty arc true. The account which we
give clsewhere of the condition of
Edgefield tells a different tale, which
should bring a blush to the face of
the bitterest radical in the country.
A comnplete refuta:ion is thus made by
the report of Judge Mackey.
. Pir%onal Reminiscences of*Gen.
Lee. '
The initial pages, with specimens of
the eleg_ant engravings which will

of Gen. Robt. E. Lee, now in course
of publication by the Memorial As

Capt. A. P. Pifer. who has been re
queste:i by the Association to present
the book for consideration and to re
ecive subscriptions. The opportunity
is thus ifforded not only to secure a
valuable book, but to contribute to a
. noble charity, an object which we cor
dially Wd e:rnes.tly commend to our
readers. The price of it ranges from
63.50O to kM.50, according to binding,t
andi it will contain 500 pages, beauti
fully embellished with steel engravings,
four of which are truthful pictures of
the great General-first, as a young
officer; seeond, as an officer in the
U. S. service; third, as a Confederata
States General, and fourth as Presi
dent of the Washington and Lee
IUniversity. It is needless for us to
add anything further, more than to
samy that any one desirous of obt:iidag~
-a copy, and we hope mony will :e
can be accommodated by the gena

Thc sub-committeeoftelus
Southern outrage committee on Louis
iana affairs in their report give a
comuplete vindication of the Conserva
-tives, and a rebuke to the aduinistra
tioni. Ninety-five witnesses were cx
- amined, and the evidence amouuts to
fifteen huridred pages.
"In Novemiber, 1874, the people of
the State of Louisiaua did fairly have
afree, peaceable and full registration
and election, in which a clean Conser
-vative majority was elected to the
lower house of the Legislature, of
Swhich majority the Conservatives were
deprived by the unjust, illegal and ar
tbitrary action of the returning board.
'1 t: is-conceded by all parties -that
the. Kellogg government is only upheld
by the Federal m'litary. Indeed, in.
the committee's judgment, the sub
stantial citizens of the State will sub
mit to any fair determination 'of the
(j uestion of the late election or to any
Sthing by which they can secure a firm
Sand good government. What th8v
seek is peace and an opportunity for
Eprosperity. To that end they will
Ssupport any form of government that
r will afford them just protection. In
e their distress they have got beyond
any mere question of political party."
- Sirant and the Third Term.
e Grant is bent on carrying out
the third term pioject. According to
the views of the Washington corres
4 pendent of the News & Co,urier, the
2 apathy of the people encourages him
)and his allies to pursue their plans.
e They profess to believe that there has
been a reaction since the people first
rose to protest against the Louisia
outrage, and further, that the indigna
-tion meetings held were composed en
tirly of Democrats, in the event of
e Gra'nt's failure to coerce the South, a
war with Spain is his next move. We
cannot believe, though. that after tihe
e many indignant expressions North and
South that the people will submit
d ta"mely to thia one-man power. It has
zone on suffieiently long alrcady. But
that the extremnest measures will be
tried by Grant there can be no question
of. Even now says this correspondent:
The placing of the whole South
Suder military rule, ti-e proclaiming
of niartial law, and the triatl of citizens
by drumuhead court-mairtial, are comn
monly- discussed here in Washiingtou,
in earnest and in jest; and almost
rwithout protest. The White House
organs urge and defend these extreme
measures, and the carpet-baggers have
already committed the Republican
majority in Congress to them. And
fyet men who should be prompt to
.resent even a hint of such things
y merely shrug their shoulders, and con
tent themselves with the thought,
"sufiient for the day is the evil
thereof."
