An Appeal to Judge Lynch. Speedy J=tioes eted to the George's Vimain. Special Dispatch to the News and Courier. BRAwwnvILL, March 1.-As you have been already advised, an out rageous assault was perpetrated upon Mrs. Byrd six miles from George's, on Saturday morning, by a one-armed negro. From the description he was believed to be the same man who committed a brutal assault and robbery on an old lady, also named Byrd, a mile and.* half from this place, on the 4th of February, and who has been prowling about this section, keeping the women, both white and colored, in constant terror. His evil reputation extended through this section of coun try fot twenty miles in Colleton and Orangeburg, and the fear of him was widespread. He pursued two colored women only last week. On Saturday a regular hunt was or ganit!d-the entire male population participating. Every road was pick eted and-the roads thoroughly searched. At 4 o'clock ytsterday (Sunday) morning he was captured in the road, three ailes from the scene of the pre vious day's outrage, and taken to Byrd's house, where he was identified by Mrs. Byrd, and confessed. Some seventy men were present, and a vote was taken as to the disposition of the prisoner. The olored men were in the majority, and they voted solidly, with two exceptions, to let the law take its course. In obedience to this decision the man, who gave the name of Louis Kinder, having been va riouniy known as Moses, Fulton, Gaillard and Skinner, was taken to George's and turned over to Trial Justice ]eid, who piaed him in the towa. ga dhouse, under a strong guard. An unsuccessful effort was made daring the night to take him out, the attacking party being re pulsed. The prisooe- was sent toXalter bor' .this orning in charga of two special ooastables, with a commitment issunedon the affidavit of Mrs. Byrd. Whe a ile and a half from George's, he mt -by- a party of seven or eight-mea .whw forcibly too'Y Kinder from the office and rode off towards Walkerboro'. This party was said to consi largely of the relatives of the Byr. The constables returned to Gecrsg ad reported, and a posse was sent in pursuit. From a hint received there I took the Branchiville road, and after fourteea mniles hard ridl&g overtook the party three miles from here. They had the negro chained by the neck, walking behind a b,gy, whish, was driven slowly, and the7 allowed him to ride occasionally. The party was composed of five men in tw -buggies and two or three oni hoenk "h prisoner wa& taken to e. eaed spot in the woods and kept until night, a number of men coming here and idling about. Kin der had stated that the assault and robbery on Mrs. Byrd a month ago was done by his partner, Isaac Jen kinglving near Williston, and the party sent after hin. Abieut 9 o'clock to-night Kinder wat%re@htiu-quietly and confronted with Mrs Byrd, who reeognized him as her anailan~t. Be still denied this crime,. hewever. It had been in tended to bring Jenkins from Willis ton and conlront himn with Kinder, but a telegram was received here stating that the search for him was unqucessal.Kinder then was taken by a dark and circuitous route through the woods to a lonely spot a mile and a quirter from here, near an old cem etery, and on the very spot where a man was hung some fifty years ago. A meo9f some seventy-five or one hundred gradually gathered in the darkness, guided to the scene by the A stout rope wft'h a noose was throws o'er a convenient limb and a bgydrawn under, on the seat of wbh Kinder stood bound, his one arm bigstrapped to his side. He was given ten minutes, during which he prayed fast and fervently in a mut tening ten His answers to interro gations,were raspectful, but made in a fir:4 voice, although he trembled vio lenly.. From his confession it ap pears that he was a native of Green ville, but had been living about King stree for a number of years, and for some months had been continually prowling about the country at night, sleeping in the woods by day and ex isting solely by theft, disposing of therproceeds of his robberies at various places. He acknowledgesthe commission of an ostrage on a colored woman in Newberry six years ago, the killing of a colored girl near Kingston last April, although he insisted that this was ac cidental; four burglaries and innum erable thefts and robberies. At the last moment he acknowledged that he had assaulted the elder Mrs. Byrd, having denied it previously, but claimed that he deserved death, and hoped that he had made his peace with God. At a signal four men seized the shafts of the buggy and drew it from under him, giving a drop of two or three feet, which seemed to break his neck instantly. He hardly struggled at all. As well as could be seen in the darkness he was swung off at half past @, and after he had been hang ing- twenty minutes the crowd dis persed, leaving the body suspended, after firing a volley into it from their pistols. Kinder, alias Fulton, alias Skinner, alias Gaillard, was a man apparently not more than twenty-seven years old, five feet nine inches in height, slen derly built, poorly dressed, being ragged and barefooted, and with a rather bad expression of countenance. He seemed to be a man of some edu cation, speaking correctly and being able to read and write. Several col. derisive remarks from the crowd and some firing off of pistols and cheering while returning to town were the only symptoms of disorder. Kinder attributed his capture to the loss of a black cat, which he stated, he had purchased from Gyp sies, and would have insured him against being caught or losing at gam bling. On his ' body was found a charm consisting of bones and roots sewed up in buckskin. He was armed with an immense revolver when taken. A. B W. State and Federal Courts. The Supremacy of the Latter Maintained. Four important cases were decided in the United States Supreme Court at Washington on Monday, each of which involved a conflict of jurisdic. tion between State and Federal Courts. 1. Ex parte the Commonwealth of Virginia, petitioner. This was a peti tion for mandamus to compel the res toration of two negroes to the custody of the State Court from which they were tried, they had been deprived of a right secured to them by the Four teenth Amendment. The Court held that negroes not being excluded from juries by the laws of Virginia, the mere -empaneling of a jury without any negroes, even for the trial of a negro, was no cause of complaint. 2. Taylor Strander, plaintiff in error, versus the State of West Virginia. This case involved the question of the constitutionality of the law of West Virginia excluding negroes from the jury. - The Court decided that the law was unconstitutional. 3. State of South Carolina vs. Lem uel S. Davis. This involved the ques tion whether a United States officer indicted in a State Court for murder while in the alleged diseharge of his duty was entitled to have his case re moved to a Federal Court. It was decided that he had. 4. The Commonwealth of Virginia and J. D. Coles, petitioners. This case involved the liability to arrest and trial in the Federal Courts of a judge of a State Court, who in the discharge of his duties as judge was alleged to have violated the provisions of the Fourteenth Amendment and the laws made in pursuance thereof. The Supreme Court decided that he was so liable to arreet. The first three cases were reported yestsrday, and the fourth is reported below. By.Telegraph to the News and Courier. WAsHINGToN, March 2.-The fa meus case ex parte the Commonwealth of'f Virginia and J. D. Coles, petition ers, has been decided adversely to the petitioners. This was a petition for a writ of habeas corpus to bring before this court the case of Judge Coles, of Virginia, indicted in the Federal Court for the western district of that Statie for violation of the Act of March 4, 1879, in excluding colored citizens from jury lists on account of race and color. This case grows out of the follow ing facts: Judge Rives, the United States District Judge for the Western District of Virginia, directed his grand jury, some time since, to find indictments against, all judges of the State of Virginia within their district wherever it should appear that suieb judges had never at any time placed negroes upon the lists of jurors made out by them. In the absence of evi dence as to the motive of the judge thus failing to place negroes on the lists, he thought it proper to assume in- such case that there had been a purpose to discriminate on account of race and color. Pursuant to this charge of. Judge Rives indictments were found in the Federal Court against certain State judges of Vir ginia, and various judges, including Judge Coles, have been arrested and held for trial. Judge Coles, not jd mitting that the United States Court has any jurisdiction of the matter charged in the indictment, or that he is amenable to Judge Rives for the proper performance of his judicial functions, by advice of counsel, refused to give bail. This case, by common consent, was made a test case. -This Court holds that the act under which Judge Coles was indicted is fully authorized by the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments to the Constitution, and that it was Judge Cole's duty to obey that act, and if he failed to do so he was properly liable to indictment in the Federal Court. The petition for a writ of habeas cor pus is therefore denied. Justice Strong delivered the opinion. Justice Field, in a dissenting opin ion, which was concurred in by Justice Clifford, holds that the act under which the petitioner was indicted, so far as it relates to jurors in the State Courts, is unconstitution~al and void, and, even if it were not, the indict ment describes no offence under it, but is void on its face. He holds that nothing can be found in the Constitu tion or its amendments which autho rizes any interference by Congress with the States in the administration of their government and the enforce ment of their laws with raspect to any matter over which jurisdiction was not surrendered to the United States. Nothing, in his judgment, could have a greater tendency to de stroy the independence and autonomy of the States and reduce them to a humiliating and degrading dependence upon the central government, engen der constant irritation and destroy that domestic tranquility which it was one of the objects of the Constitution to insure, than the doctrine asserted in this case-that Congress can exer cise coercive authority over the judi ial officers of the States in the dis charge of their duties under State laws. It will be only another step in the same direction toward consolida tion, when it assumes to exercise sim tice Fields says that those who regard the independence of the States in all their res, rved powers as .sse:1ti.d1 to the successful maintenance of our form: of government, cannot. fail to view with the gravest apprehension for the future any indictment in a court of the Unittd States of a judicial officer of a State for the man ner in which he has discharged his duties under her laws, and of which she makes no complaint. The proceeding is a gross offence to the State. It is an attack upon her sovereiguity in a matter over which she has never surrendered her juris diction. The doctrine which sustains it, car ried to its logical results, would de grade and sink her to the level of a mere municipal corporation. For if Congress can punish an officer of a State for the wanner in which he dis charges his duties under her laws, it can fix the nature and extent of the punishment. It may imprison fur life or punish by removal from office. To these results Justice Field thinks that the doctrines held by the majority of the Court necessarily lead. The Last Legislature. The last legislature has passed into history as the weakest and most ex travagant body that has assembled in Columbia for many years. Its crown ing distinction was that it got through its session (not its work) quick. From the first day it assembled to the final adjournment, through both regular and extra sessions, there was a cou tinual howl all along the line for a short session. The time was con sumed in devising and furthering new schemes for the impoverishment of the people. In addition to the cur rent expenses of the government, $191,000 was voted to the agricultu ral college, $200,000 in work and $10.000,000 in water power to the Columbia Canal; $15,000 to the Charleston Canal; $3,000 on the Blair estate in York county was given up ; thousands of dollars of hack taxes on the Blue Ridge Road were re. mitted ; the Catawba Canal was given away; the tax bill improperly passed at an expense to the State of twenty thousand dollars in round numbers and so from the opening to the close of its career the legislature of 1879-'80 so stumbled along. Compared with such a body, the Wallatce House stands out like a star of the first mag nitude. If any single measure passed by the late legislhture has added a fraction to the sum of human happi ness or in any way alleviated the con dition of the State we do not know what it was. The legislation has not only been ill-advised but it has been so crude that it will take years to cor rect the error made in many of the acts passed. The act under which the railroad tax case at the late term of the court in this county was found upon legal investigation to be contra dictory in almost every one of its sec tions and so with a number of other acts that are now the law of the hand. In the new fee bill regulating the costs of public officers there has been a marked increase of costs in some cases and a reduction in others below a living limi.it. .All of these errors have bee.i the result of a desire to make fair weather with the voting masses and to gain the applause of an unthinking press.

Do not conside'r your case ineurable until you have made a thorough trial of Dr. Pieree's Family Medicines. They are chem ically pure, of uniform strength, and have come into general use by reason of superior merit. In cases of general and nervous debility, consumption, bronchitis, dyspepsia, "liver comn plaint," s.rofulous bunches, ulcers, and eruptions, the Golden Medical Discovery is a speedy and positive cure; while thousands of women, who had for years been bed-iidden, have, by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, been restored to perfect health. The introduction of these two remedies has revolutionized the treatnient of chronic diseases. Pa tients are no longer depleted and sal ivated, as the tonic and alterative properties of the Discovery long since demonstrated a better way. Ladies need no longer submit to the use of the caustic and knife, as the Favorite Prescription is guaranteed to cure the diseases and weaknesses pculiar to women. Mrs. Samuel M.

GREENVILLE AND CoLUMBuIA RAIL ROAD BONiss.-There has been a rapid advance in the class of bonds on this road knowni as "State Guaranteed." On Thursday .. parcel of about $50, 000 changed hands, bought for New York account, at 90 cents. Yester day 93 cents was paid for $5,000, the only parcel offering. 'These figures are flat-that is. with four unpaid coupons on, equal to 14 per cent. The only other parcel for s:dle yesterday was held at par, interest throw: . The early sale of the road, and the knowledge that it will be actively comn peted for by rival lines, explains the market. The class known as "Second Mortgage" are quoted at 15 cents, but several parcels are being offeied at public auction, and in a few days their real value will be fixed. ([News and ourier, 6th.

It circulates extensively. aiea as an Advertising medium offers unrivalled ad vantages. For Terms, see first page. Time the Avenger. The Southern States since the war have been treated by the gen eral government as conquered pro vinces. After expending millions of money and thousands of lives to force them back in the Union, the Northern States, Democratic as well as Republican, do all in their power to keep them in subjection. Any attempt by Southern states men to control national sentiment, any attempt to take a leading or prominent part in nationsi legisla tion, is looked upon by the North with extreme jealousy. - For the South to express her preference for any man is to injure his prospects in the eyes of the North. Our Congressmen are expected to sit quietly in their seats like figure heads, and let the "North" run the government. Our . position is a truly humiliating and galling one. But it need not be always thus. The South has it in her power to reverse- the order of things;. she can do it without any revolution, and so quietly that she will scarcely know when the change comes. She has only to use "those means which God and Nature have placed in her hands." These means are her ex tensive, ancultivated fields, and her natural resources. She has played second fiddle to the North for years and years. She has furnished their factories with cotton at a low price and has bought their goods at a high price,. diminishing her own wealth and adding to that of her rival in both transactions. This will all b3e changed, and will be changedia - -ew- years. - She has every facility for manufacturing her own cotton ; and she can break down every cotton factory in every Northern State if she chooses to do so. Every factory that she estab lishes increases her population and her wealth, and diminishes corres pondingly the wealth and popula tion of the North. This change is bound to come ; the laws of trade and business will bring it about. Another great advantage the North has maintained over the South is her shipping interests. She has lines of trading vessels running to all parts of the world from Boston, New York and Phila delphia. In the course of time the South will have her seaport towns, with lines running direct to the mercantile centers. The produc tions of the South and West will seek Southern ports of exit, and her imports will come in the same way. Every new enterprise and every internal improvement will draw im migration. We have the teirritory, the cli mate, and the resources; we need an increased population, new enter prises and the development of our dormant resources ;-and these will come. Then the South shall cease to be the "hewer of wood and draw er of water", and become the domi nant and controlling section of this country. It may be after the pres ent generation has passed away ; but the time will come, as sure as fate. The Late Legislature. - The Abbeville Medium gives some pretty strong licks in its last issue at the late Legislature. The Me dium's criticisms are bold and clear, and are well founded. We agree entirely with our contemporary, and heartily endorse the editorial, which we transfer to our c'olumns. The Legislature unquestionably contain ed many men of ability ; but as a whole it was a most lame and impo tent body. Weil might they ex claim with Paul, "When I would do good evil is ever present with me. The good that I would do I can not." Some excellent bills were introduced, and several were on the point of passing, but were killed Ifor some unaccountable reason. The bill to prevent carrying con cealed weapons and the bill to pun ih personsenticing- away laboers Merchants Excursion to Char leston. The leading wholesale merchants of Charleston have arranged for an excursion to their city for the bene fit of their customers throughout the State. They have secured cheap railroad fare and reduced hotel rates. Tickets can be obtained any time between the 10th and 20th, good to return within one week from day of purchase. The fare going and returning from stations in this County is as follows: Po maria, $3.55 ; Prosperity, $3.80; Newberry, $4.00; Helena, $4.05; Chappell's, $4.60. The hotel rates per day are: Charleston, $2.50; Pavilion, $2.00; Waverly, $1.60; Victoria, $1.40. Cheap Printing Paper. A large number of petitions have been sent to Congress asking a re peal of the tariff on white printing paper and printing materials. A bill has been introduced to that effect, which ought certainly to pass. Printers are only a small fraction of those who would be benefitted by cheap paper. Every family that takes a newspaper is interested ; for at the present prices of printing paper, the publishers will either have to raise their prices of subscription, or "bust." Cheaper Rates. We see it stated that the passen ger fare on the Air Line R. R., will be reduced from 5 to 3 cents a mile the first of April. We believe that cheap rates of travel would pay all the roads. People would take more pleasure trips if it didn't cost so much. See how many go on ex cursions to Charleston and the mountains. It is not because of the crowd, for a majority that go would prefer no crowd ; but it is because of the cheap rates. The Laurensville Herald Has come out in an enlarged form and much improved in appear ance. Thbe Herald is one of our best exchanges--reliable, straight forward and manly in its course, it deserves all the success and pros perity that can fall to its lot. We congratulate Messrs. Crews & Watts, its able editors and proprietors. B4 W. M. Mackey, of Charleston, the head of the bogus "Mackey House" in 1876-7, has been in Washington recently. He is re ported. as saying at headquarters that the colored republicans of South Carolina are almost unani mous for Grant, bhat that the white republicans prefer Blaine. He says that he -thinks either Grant or Blaine can carry the State. The capital for building the Clif ton Manufacturing Company in Spartanburg County has been rais ed, and work has commenced- The location is six miles from the Court House, on the site of the old Roll ing Mills. The capital stock, $150, 000, was raised without difficulty. Charleston subscribed $37,000. "Brick" Pomeroy's Naticnal Green back Convention met in St. Louis on the 5th insant, and nominated Stephen B. Dillay,. of New Hamp shire, for President, and V. J. Chambers, of Texas, for Vice Presi dent. This ticket will scarcely be elect ed. The last issue of the Edgefield Advertiser contains nominations of two candidates for the office of Sheriff-that of Capt. Lewis Jones and D. A. J. Bell. "The early bird catches the worm." Virginia soon got enough of the famous Moffett Bell Punch law. Her Legislature has repealed the law, and she collects her liquor tax now in the usual way-by li cense. The indications are that "Uncle Sammy Tilden" is going to be a candidate for the nomination, and he will probably get it: We believe it will be Grant and Tilden. A Nihilist named Mordelsky fired at Gen. Melikoff, a Russian Gene. ral, the 3d at St. Petersburg. He was tried and sentenced the 4th, and was executed the 5th.

FOR THE HERALD. Our Washington Letter. WASHINGTON, D. C., March 3, 1880. It was a substantial Democratic victory in the competent opinion of Speaker Randall, when the new House rules were adopted yesterday. The rules, however, are fair, and able Rad icals hke Frye, of Maine, favor them, with the exception of the 21st rule, which allows political legislation on appropriation bills. There was a hard con test.on. this rule, but the Democra cy triumphed. The River and Har bor matter, it was decided should re main with the Commerce Committee, and not go to the Appropriations Comn mnittee. This indicates a disposition to spend a great deal of money on riv ers and streams, &c., during the next year. An attempt is being made in the Senate to stir up a political discussion by getting the Louisiana question, ir a new form, before that body. The country has known no otiher such dis grace in its history as that which at taebes.to it from the Louisiana frauds in 1876, the subsequent forgeries and perjuries of its Radical voters, and the appointments made in Louisiana by Messrs. Hayes and Sherman. One would think Radical Senators would be the last to disturb the situation. But- this present movement may be made in the~iuterest of Kellogg. and offset by new falsehoods and inven tions, the farce of the Committee re port in the Spofford-Kdlosgg case. The House Ways and Means Com mittee yesterday decided, substantial ly, to let the tariff alone during this session. Either a Committee of Con gtress or a Commission of private citi zens will doubtless be authorized to investigate matters connected with the subject, with authority to report in one year. General Fitz John Porter's case will occupy the week in the Senate. It was called up by Senator Randolph, of New Jersey, on Monday, and Sena-' tor Logan spoke on legal points in the case yesterday and, I suppose, will to day and to-morrow. It takes a man a great deal longer to tell something he don't know than it does to tell ten times as much about a subject he is familiar with. Logan may speak on legal points for thirty days for all I know. DE M. Shrew dner,s and A bility.
