N. 11. Nar din, the oahdidate on the dry i icket for In, C'1v Vrks 111u1 1 in e pendent wet ticket rutn in two of the wards agains9t the re~gularly lininiated Demnocratic ticket which succeeded, beating Col.loyt and Dr. Dorrohi, the "ldry" candidates on the reg ular ticket., This result was brought abot by the comnbinat ion of white voters, who fa vored granting licenses, and the negroes, a majority of whom always vote against any man or measure favored by the Democratic party. Those white Demnocrats who voted the regularly nominated a icket andi assisted the negroes to elect the two Independent, Al, dermen should be read out of the party. The wet p)arty in Greenville before the nomhina, tions were made, feeling certinm that they could capture the primaries and nominate a wet ticket, dlenounced the dr'y party in un measured terms beccause of an intenation, at one time, to run a struaight ticket. They were denounced as Mahonites and bolters and threatened with ex-coamunication from 'e part~y if they dared go outside of the regular organization for cand idlt es. They finally concluded to make the fight inside the organ ization, went. into the primaries and were beat en, but h lke t rnelDomocrats, acce'pted the sit ation and vot ed tihe ticket straight. It t he Democratic org: iizatioun ini Greenville is in-. jured by the result, upon the heads of the whiskey men he the blame. Now would be a good,timc to reorganize the Democratic clubs in Greenville upon that liberal platform, which proposed to give the negroes a share of ihe offices. The Georgetownu Enquirer and Revenue Murderers. Our esteemed contemporary, the George i own Enquirer, acknowledges that it is not able to answer Ite question propounded by us as to what. it pr.o'sedI to (10 with the lie venue oflicers whou killed Davis and Ladd, after McDowy hiad been disposed of. The article ini reply is very cleverly writ ten, and we regret that we have not space to repro duice it entire. But we desire to notice two points presented by the Enquirer. In speak. ing of the great injustice done by the general gover'u~nient in taking the eases of the mur. derers of D)avis and Ladd out. of the custody of the State Courts and( slihilg them from a jutst punishment for their crimes, the En.. quirer says: 'lbit. thle Sltte has nothing to (10 with the (despot ism which han marked the course of the Fedral Government in the past." If this be true, why not abolish our Stat e Government and turn every'thing over to t he Federal Governent. If the State authorities can not punish Federal otlicials for the mur. dcer of her citizens, why demand of her the punishment of citizens who murder Federal otheias? If she 1has not power to punish all persons who may commit murdler on her soil, why require her to punish only such as may be designated by the Federal aiuthorities? Would it not be better to abolish our State GIoserumzent and turn the whole thing over to the Federal authorities? We think this would be the most sensible course, then our citizens would know what to expect. It is a poor rule that wi'- not work both ways. Again the Enquirer asks: "Will the dSN E g pretnd that because integrity as a~ State, had resctuet onoy an subjects while awaiting trial fo ofrder South Carolina, this would justify murnde. clining to arrest and prosecute oneu of our own citizens who had killed a British -sujc here?" suec There is no analogy between this supposed cas and that under consideration- In the one case it would be the act of a foreign pow,. er, whose form~ of government is quite dif.. ferent from ours. In the other case it is the act 'of the Government towards its own cii.. sens, whose constitution and laws Were Once supposed'to apply equally to all its citizens, and to guaranteo to eaoh the same protect Ion in their rights of person and prop erty. But Sf the instumed called i he Constitution of the United State. has become enth'ely obsolete, da cse may be analogoug, Mhe Pickens Sentinel and time Now South. "TaU PcKuZs SUNTINL considers that the t New South has done them an injustice in an editorial which appeared in our issue of July 29th. The editorial from which it quotes was a in type and read as follows: "The murder of MV. Brayton by the moonshiner bloDow has, so far as we have observed, met with univer sal cotidernbat ion on the part of the press of South Carolina, and an earnest demand that the murderer be Promptly arrested by the State authorities.' Engaged In reading proof just bofit'o going to press Tun PICKENs SNTINEL was brought in from the post office, and hurriedly looking over it we found that while condemning the murder, it protested against any action by the State authorities. The words'"with but. one exception, the PICK. ENS SENTINEL." were written on the proof margin and should have been added to the close of the sentence instead of after the words "the press of South Carolina." We did not intend to charge the SENTINEL with not con. demning the murder of Brayton, but as pro testing against action on the part of the State authorities. We would not willingly misrepresent the position of any journal, and as the article appeared it did do the SENTINEL injustice, we make the above explanation. In the editocial which charges us with in justice the SENTINEL Says; There is not an instance within our knowl edge where the New South, who seems to be the organ of the revenue department in this State, or uny officer of the government, has condemned the illeg'il conduct of a revenue officer, or made an effort to have him punish. e contrary, they have invariably it . it~.r conduct and condemned and itizens. tablishmient of the New South been but two "revenue outrages" e which we remember. Both of J rred in Pickens County, which ye a monopoly in that line of bus ',3 first was the shooting of Gary lhe second the shooting of Alexan per. In both those cases the New the details and facts of the case -ould be ascertained without *note t. it neither defended the conduct ienue officers or condemned the rs, Kelley and Alexander. It Ldid l)) citizens, and in making $the %t the New South has at any he SENTINEL does us a gross in the SENTIN MYL have the manh ood n ugh to withdraw its unjust ac e shall see.-New South." We did not intend to do the New South "a gross injustice," and hai e yAt to be convinced that we Iid so in the article complained of. The New South acknowledges that in the Gary-Kelley, and the Looper-Alexander af fairs, it "gave the details and facts of the case as near as could be ascertained without note or coinment." (The italic's are ours.) There was no condemnation of the Revenue officers in its comments. Tihe killing of liray ton has opened out anew the discussion of the conduct of' Revenue officers in the Stat e generally, and in this County p)articularly. The presa4 of the State, while strongly con demining the murder of Brayton, hias, with few exceptions, in equally strong termas, con dlemned the killing of Davis and Ladd, by Revenue officers. In all this discussion the New South has not had a word to say, nor has it, reproduced a word of commen. by an'y of the papers of the State. Because these outrages were comfmittedl before the estah. liWRhment of the New South, is no reason why that paper should withhold its condemnation, if it believes the crimes were of such a char acter as to deserve condJemnationl and punish, mtent. It tacitly ackniowledlges t hat it has not at any t ime condemnedl any of the out rages commit ted by the Revenue oflicials, and only asks that we withdraw the accusation that it has abused the citizens This it. would afford us pleasure to do it the facts were not exactly on the other side. If the editor of the New South will go to his file and turn to the first issue of his paper after the killing of Brayton, he will there tinad that he saidl: "We can hardly find words of condemnation too strong to be applied to the citizens of Cenitral in their action in regard t~o the murder of Brayton." The entire article, following the above quotation, was according t~o our judgment, very abusive of the citizens of Central, andl entirely misre presented them, in regard to the murder of Birayton. The cittzens of Central, feeling that the~y had been misrepresented and abus ed, r'eplied to the article through the Green ville News, and denounced it as false and slanderous. The New South has not yet withdrawn its accusations, and until it does so, or convinces us that its article was not abusive, we shall dlecline to withdraw our ac cusations against the New South. A Stranige Cataistrophec. C vrnnss, 8. C., August 6.--On T hursday last, the 4th inst.., the hands were at work on the public highway in Stoke's Bridge Township, in this county, in the vicinity of Lynch's River. Late in the afternoon miany of them stopped undler an oak tree to rest and shelter themselves from the scorching beanms of the sun Clouds were visible at a distance and rain was falling some miles away, but in that immiediaite locality the sun was shining the sky was clear and nothing indicated the presence of electricity. One of their number 1 ad steppedl off a few yards for water whzen suddenly a terriffic crash startled him and re vealed to his astonished and horrified vision the appalling sight of his companions, some dead, some completely parayized and othersa woundled and struggling in the throes of death. Ini his language, "the shrieks and groans and struggling can only be pictured by those who ihave witnessed the bloody In.. t cidents of a battle field.' Miessrs. J. Ml. Mazinigo, Rufus Mazingo, Willie Waters and John B. Gatlin were killed outright. These were all young men, recently married and in the bloom of manhood. T welve others were struck and more or less stunned t and mutilated, some of them seriously if not fatally injured. One of the~ victims bears up on the side of his body a complete picture of the tree photographed on his skin by the lightning. Three dogs were apparently kill,. ed, but one of them subsequently revived. This phenomenon, under the circumstances, is very remarkable, and affords a fruitful theme for speculation. It would be difficult to exaggerate the disasa trous effects of the drou ght n this locality., The copious showers of the resent week ma revive and benefit some of t~e cotton as well as the peas and potatoes, but the corn Is goneI berond redemption. L. -. ATIO amevenue Troubles. The Winusbdro News and Herald in an ar. 1010, under the above head, after quoting rom the Sentinel, concludes a very sensible rtiole in the following language: Read the list of the extra force selected in bediend to Commissioner Raum's order, as 'men of good standing and good habits." L'hree of them are charged, on what many ionsider conclusive evidence, with the murder if Amos Ladd. Stolbrand is one of the filthy ire* of carpet-bag politicians who stole from he State for eight years. Fine is also a rad cal politician and a notorious blacklog. Ladd s an itinterant commissioner of the United tates Court, and figured largely last fall in aking the testimony of perjured negro wit aesses to implicate gentlemen in crimes ag xinst the election laws. These are specimens )f the "men of good standing and good hab ts" chosen by the government, in a serious anlergency, to bring law breakers to justice rhese are the men who are, by their person il character, to induce the co- operation of the good people of the State in enforcing the ex )ise laws of Congress. These are the chosen lew. The party that went to McDow's house ieem to have belonged but to the common herd Who is to say that they acted strictly within he law, and honestly within the line of their luty? Who dare say that they had the right o arrest McDow and destroy his property? lio knows but that they unlawfully invaded is house, insulted the women and pilfered iis effects? Who can assert that. McDow, bad nan as he is represented to be, was not goad d to his act by the outrageous conduct of the inderlings that went upon his premises 'bese are questions proper to be determined efore we go too much into "gush" over the illing of Brayton. Let McDow be 'caught airly tried, and, if found guilty, punished ,8 he deserves. And let the alleged murder rs of Amos Ladd be also tried before arelean ury, and let them abide the result. Give fth sides a hearing-give both sides a chance. The renedy for all these revenue troubles ies in the improvement of the personnel of lie officials and the*oo-operation of the bet er class of citizens. Displace the crewl of )olitical hirelangs, suspected felons and un >rincipled carpet, baggers that now "run" the ervice in South Carolina, and put in "men of ood standing and good habits," and we hink there will be soon a much better state if things. I u'. as long as the government :ountenanceb outrage, murder, oppression and petty theft, under the guise of enforcing' its regulations,[so long will it be left to take care f itself when it, gets into trouble. Well does rilE l1'ICKI-s SENTINEL suggest; "Turn over to the State courts Hugh 1). Kane and the Dther murderers of Amos Ladd in Pickens couuty, and lat tison, the murderer of Davis in Anderson county, for trial in the State courts. Then Mc Dow and every.otier person wliohas killed or assaulted a revenue officer shall be arrested ind brought to trial it' it takes every man in the State to do it.'' In le*meantime let the newspapers have done with 'gushing'' over the reecut revenue out raige. Senator Hlampton andi the Reve nlue Latws. In commenting on the letter of Senator [itampton's to Mr. Raumn, (wihich wa3 putb lishe'l in the SexrINEL, last week) the Anider son Intelligenter says: This reported letter of Senitor Hampujtoni's is au somewhait remairkabile doeinent, if it ex ists, anid we suppose the publli.shed version is about correct. Our Senau or says that lie now hase no t oleratmion for initract ions of t'ie reve nue laws, from which the int'erence that he did once tolerate t hemi is clear Thel reason why lhe cannot now do so is because t'resident hlayes gave amnesty some years ago Oin ouri Setntor's applicationi; and here again our Sen am or leaves m lhe in 'erenice t hat if lihe am nest y hal been grantedi on the~ recommendat ion of any ot her person his toleration for lhe infrac (ion of thle laiw.- might contitiue to exist, thou;;h the crime would be as great an.l hei nous then as it is tunder presenit circuamst ances. Again Senator hlampi on volunteers to state whaut the governor of this St ate will do as certainly as if he himself was yet the govern o.'. It.1is not a matter of opinion that out Senator expresses, but it is ma mat ter of fact, as if by authority. The people elected Governor llagood to discharge the dut ies ofihe Executive D~epairtmenit of this State. and when they did so it was generally suppo. sed thatur he could discharge those duties. though Senator Hampton may be authorized to matiage the Executive office of this State ss well as represent her in the Senate. I such is not the case, the letter of our Senator exegotistic and in bad taste. This, however is not the objection we have to the letter. It is written in a manner to give color to the is aggerated condemnation that is being heap ed upon us by the Northern press, and con tains not one syllable, as far as we can see, tc show the infamous manner in which the government has attempted to execute the revenue laws in this State. It is in bad taste for our Senatotr to give aid and credence to the partisan abuse that is heaped upon us by the newspapers and politicians of thc north on account of the violation of the revenue lays. The great, bulk of our people condemn these violations, and they c-uli easily be suppressedl if the revenue officers were not themselves more lawless and oppressive than the moonshiners. Senator Haim pton shoul niot have written the letter lie didl to General Rauim without, also urging the improvement f the character of the revenue men in this State. rte Prohibition Movement.-Im-i portant Call. The State Coni ention which is to moot in solumbia on Tuesday, Sept. 2'7th. will need 'eliable information as to the real strength of lie prohibition sentiment in thme State. This nill be Indicated somewhat by thie number of >ersons who will leave their business and at-, end Its sessions. But, besides, It will be tightly desirable to know the number of peti loners for a prohibitory law. I therefore earnestly request all persons rho are circulating petitions to push the can ass vigorously during the present month, nd mail the papers to me by the first, of Sep. ember, that I may have time to count the ames according to counties, and report the esult to the Convention. Let us have a full epresentation from every County, as well as rom every church and temperance organ iza Ion In the 8Saie.

Greene refused. at which Lece took offence, and offered Greene some insult. At length bo0th parties went out into the street to settle the dispute, and afer sonic words repairedl to a neighboring in-. closure. Arriving there Lee took off his cont andi drew a knife. Greene walked up to him, and Lee struck him several times in thle face, whereupon Greene drew his p stol andi shot Lee in the r'ighit breast, the ball sever. ing the artery which feeds the heart. Lee then clutched~ Greene and stabbed him three times about the face andl throat, andi in five minutes both beel and expired.

WAsriHn'oTO, August 6.--The tenor of the verdict in the Whitaker case has beeni the subject of a good deal of speculation. It has been generally understood that it was averse to Whitnker, but this was not positively known until now. Thie report of the court martial arrived at the office of Ihe- judge advocate general some time ago, but, owing to Gen. Swan'so attendance upon the patient at the White flouse. it was not examined. It is now being revised andi wvill be ready for submission to the President for h's final ac tion just as soon as lie is able to give his at tention to it. The essence of the verdict Is the finding of Whitaker guilty ot committing the alleged outrage on himself. This verdict is unanimous, and~ is coupled with the unan Imous recommendation that he be dismissed the service. The judge advocate general will approve this verdict, there is not the slight-. est. doubt about that, and thus will end the most remarkable whI'tary trial on record. It has cost the government nearly $25,000 to decide who mutilated Whitaker's eare, General Hancock doolies all entertaio. ments while his commander-in-.chief be Prsidet is slok and pan..
