The Whole Legislature To Bo MurderedSUOt'Ll)
MACK** UK SLATttl?
Columbia, 8. C? May 6.?I hare just been
placed iu possession of information which uuiy
be interesting to the House Joint Committee,
who are considering the claims of the members
of Mackey's bogus House to seats in the House
of HepreseutatiTee. It will be remembered.
? that while the 8tatebouse was occupied by the
members of the House and by theMackcy crew,
supported by the Federal troops and Chamberlain's
constabulary, there was considerable talk,
sbont the use of force to expel the legal membent
from Hit budding, And that under these
threats Qepenkl Wallace and the members of t InHouse
actually left the place ift order to avoid a
collision. The true inwardness of tto plot lias
just been disclosed to me by a member of the
House, who bore a prominent part in the Mackey
farce,-, and from him I have learned of the
1-. ? ?l a.wt ,linKsili?n|
OJLOICUVC VI IIIO IUVOV 1UUIU?| vuo ?>I\* Miwwt?vw?
conspiracy that bos ever existed in the l'almetto
State. My informant, whose name I am compelled
to withhold for the present, states that
an agreement was entered into between Mackey
and Chamberlain te secure the murder of all, or
nt least of moat, of th*>motnbers of the House,
end at the same time to secure their own precious
hides, and those of their ignorant followers,
from harm.
TUB PL A 31 Of THE MUBDKB.
Mackey was to write a formal communication
to Chamberlain, stating that the business of the
House of Representatives was being delayed by
the presence of u number of turbulent persons,
and requesting him to liare them removed. Of
course he referred to the tnembqfpof the legal
House. Chamberlain, upon the rcoeipt of this
communication, was to organize a constabulary
force ef about otfb hundred
and fift? men, well armed, and these
were to be entrusted with the duty of removing
the legal members by killing them. The conspiracy
was carried out to the extent of the writing of
the letter by Mackey and the organization of the
constabulary. One hundred and fifty of thoso
cut-threats wore collected together, armed with
Winchester rifles, and were secreted in the ways
and means committee room on the first floor of
the siatc House.
TUB HINOI.KADKRS.
These wero commanded by Jolin B. Dennis
and the notorious negro, Whipppr, who were intrusted
with the duty of superintending the job
of murdering tho members of tho House. The
plnn was arranged as follows : Mackcy and his
crowd, in order to save their carcasses, wero to
retire from tho .hall and seek shelter in tho Adjutant
and Inspector-General's office, which hud
been barricaded and prepared for the purpose.
As soon as they had got out of tho way, Dennis
T and Wliippcr, with their fellow cutthroats, were
to go into tho hall and bring on a difficulty
with the members by attempting to oust them.
Tlicy would bo resisted, of course, and wouldat,.
once epen firo and kill tho whole crowd.' Trffntf'
meantime, the Federal troops were (0 bo in readiness
to come to their assistance, (as of course
they would have to interfere in case of disturbance)
but things was so arranged that tho job
would bo completed before they arrived, and the
Statchouse had been put in a position to be defended
against an outside attack. Mackcy hoped,
by this plan, to get rid of the legal House of
Representatives and t?f hatra himself recognized
as Speaker and Chnmberlain as Governor.
My informant adds that the only reason the
members escaped was through tho foresight of
Speaker Wallace, who, on the day upon which
the murder was to have takeu place, instructed
the members of the House to withdraw. Had
t'icy not douo so, not a man of them would have
been left to tell the tale. I am not at liberty
as yet to reveal the name of my informant, but
when the proper steps arc taken to ferret out
the matter, I think I can produce witnesses who
were cognizant of the entire plot.?Viukttk, in
Journal of Commerce.
Speakan Wat.back.?It was a happy inspiration
that led to tho selection of General W. II.
H:\liacc ns II1C presiding oinccr ui niv nuinu ui
Kefresent atives. A more, accomplished gentleman
or more impartial officer could not linvc
been selected, General Wallace was liorn in
Laurens County in 1820, and was t lie son of
Major-General Daniel Wallaco, who represented
the Fourth Congressional District of the 8tate
in Congress foi throe terms, having been fust
elected in 1818. The Klder Wallace was a cotemporary
of General Quitman, and was one of
the most prominent Southern tucu in Washington.
11c was noted for his firmness of character
and integrity of purpose, and wielded nil inllucncc
in the councils of the nation which made
itself felt in the administration, ami which was
always exercised for the honor and welfare of
his uativo State.
Speaker Wallaco is a graduate of the South
Carolina College, of the class of 1849. After
leaving College he spent several years of liis life
in agricultural pursuits; hut in 18ti0, after a
c urse of careful study, applied and was admitted
to the bar. In 18G0f ho was elected to represent
Union District in the Legislature, hut
upon the breaking out of the war, entered the
army atyl served throughout the four longyears
of the deadly struggle, lie was sent to the
Legislature from Union County in 1872, and ln$
served in that body ever since. He brings to
the chair all the culture and grace of a refuted
gentleman, and the experience and knowledge
acquired by his long service in the lower House.
In his rulings lie knows no party, no politics;
he docs his duly simply and earnestly, hut firm- j
ly, fearing no man and favoring no friend.?

County Auditors and Treasurers.
Among the important hills acted upon in the
House of Representatives yesterday was one to
regulate the compensation of County Treasurers
and Auditors, which was passed to a third read
ing. This bill allows commissions to County
Treasurers as follows : Three per cent, upon
the first $10,000, two per cent, upon the next
$10,(MX); and one-half of one per cent, on all
amounts over $20,000, provided the same shall
not exceed $800 or less than $500 per annum,
except Charleston, where commissions shall not
.exceed $2,000. The salaries of the County
Auditors are as follows :
Charleston, $2,000; Abbeville nnd Richland.
$800 each; Aiken, Anderson, Barnwell, HcauChester,
Colleton, Darlington, Kdgefield,
Fait field, Greenville, Laurens, Marion, 'Newberry,
Orangeburg, Spartanburg, Sumter and York,
$700 each; Chesterfield, Clarendon, Georgetown,
.Horry, Kershaw, Lancaster, Lexington, Marlboro,
Oconee, Pickens, Union and Williamsburg,
$100 each. The compensation allowed by this
bill gives evidence that the era of retrenchment
has arrived. It is in striking contrast with the
extravagant salaries allowed under Radical rule.

^ 2.?The Rochester Chronicle, the leading Republican
organ in Western New York, says : "We
arc in receipt of numerous letters from Republicans
in regard to the Southern policy of the
President, and we arc frank to sny that neither
in conversation nor in correspondence have we
iourul, throughout (his section of ilic State, any
universal commendation of that policy. It is
acquiesced in?it is accepted as an experiment
? it is taken on trial?it is received with tremulous
hope at the best. Often it is bitterly denounced,
being estecjned a surrender of principle."

The Hollitnoro Sun, in referring to the resto,
ration to the people of South Carolina and Louisiana
of their right to govern themselves, aptly
remarks that lliero is "no occasion for the indulgence
of any sentimental expression of gratitude
upon the subject. Thoso wli > talk about
the duly of the Southern people to show themselves
worthy of this groat I oon conferred upon
them this mark of executive clemency and

War Gossip.
LoJtuox, May 7.?Thrf Porte accepts the'Germnu
protectors! of Russian subject*. The Czar,
addressing the estates at Moscow, concluded:
"1 nni happy to bo able to thank iny people for
their patriotism, which has been proved by deeds.
TUcir readiness to undergo sacrifice exceeds our
expectations. May God assist us to fulfil our
task and bless our troops, who are about to engage
in combat for faith, empire and fatherland."
12,000 Russians attempting to force Sagnuale
pass east of Kara were rypul%ed. Two Russian
usfpma otvKam o Ar^ppulsed with heavy $**.
: AJWuHaTTlja fatuous RffroBhieT is about starting
for the Russian frontier, with 10,000Kurds.
Muliktie Pasha telegraphs that in consequence of
Thursday's repulse, the Russiaus were compelled
to move back their camp. The Roumanian
Senate, answering the i ddrcssof the l'rince, declares
that the Senate will never counsel any
hazardous or dangerous policy, less any attack
on Turkey which would be an unpardonable act
of thoughtlessness, and concludes: "Nevertheless,
we will defend our hearth if attacksd."
The Dervishes' auswer to the Russian circular
coucludes; "It is impossible to foresee the con
sequence of such an net. ller Majesty's government
would willingly have refrained from
any observation in regard to the fact, but as
Prince GotschakofF seems to assume in his declaration
addressed to nil the governments of
Europe, that Russia is acting in the interests of
Great Britain and of the other Powers, they feel
bound in a manner cqunlly formal and public, to
say that the decision of the ltussinu government
is not one which can have their concurrence or
approval."
The rumors that Kars has been captured and
Erzerouni in danger need confirmation.
Advices show that the Kussinus arc approaching
the Danube slowly but formidably. ~
London, May 7?.2.30 P. 'I.?Business on
the Stock Exchange is flat. Consols opened at
93, and were subsequently better. Lord Derby's
reply to Prince Gortschnkoff's circular had
a bad effect
Mr. Thomas Carlisle, in a letter fo flic London
Times, on tho Eastern question says, a "rumor
prevails that M. Disraeli, despite the Queen's
neutrality proclamation, intends to send the
English fleet to the Baltic, or do some other feat
which shall compel Russia to declare war against
Emrland. I.attorlv the runinr has shifted from
the Baltic, ami become still more sinister on the
Eastern side of the scene, when a feat is contemplated
that will force not Russia only, but
all Eurogc, to declare war ogainstus." This latter,
ho says, lie has come to know as an umlisnutable
fact. He advises taking charge of inc
route to India, steering clear of copartnery with
the Turks. England should feel it an ignominy
to be connected with such a trick. Mr. Carlisle
.protests against the newspaper outcry against
Russia, which he says proceeds from ignorance
and jealousy, ,11c calls the attention of friends
S^thcir country t<*4||^BtQ4cincnt3,- lest in a few
in war. , , _
There was a sensational article in the Figaro
yesterday, purporting to be a confidential address
of Count Von Moltkc to the German staff,
explaining tho necessity for his recent spdecli in
the Reichstag, saying it was intended as a cold
shower bath for France. France is peaceful
now, because she knows that she is not able to
fight Germany, but if she had a fair chance her
bitter hatred against Germany would inevitably
break forth. Such a chance would be an alliance
which she now has a prospect of effecting
with Austria. The latter has never forgotten
Sadowa, and Russia is not now, as in 1871), nhlc
to enforce her neutrality. Mollko snid it might
be necessary for Germany, in the event of such
an alliance, to act with like swiftness as in her
former campaigns. The officers would shortly
receive detailed instructions for measures to bo
taken with a view to the complications which
the Count hoped might not arise but which he
deemed it his duty to provide against. Until
such instructions wero received, the staff would
continue to he guided by instructions of 1870.
Nkw Vokk, May 7?-;D?apatclies received
irom Constantinople authorize the Turkish legation
to declare that O0ws of persecution having
boon lately practiced upon certain Christian villages
on the light bank of the Danube is without
foundation.
In so far as regards the bad treatment to which
the Israelites are said to have been subjected in
(Jiurgevo, the Turkish legation is authorized to
st .te that there arc no Turkish inhabitants or
; troops occupying that town, which is situated
on tlie left bank of the Danube, and which is
under the government of Bucharest. Consequently
the Ottoman administration declines all
responsibility for any events which may have
taken place in Giurgevo. The Israelites having
equal rights in Turkey with all other Otterman
subjects, of whatever religion, the sublime l'ortc
is determined that they shnll be respected,
and, as a new proof of his high impartiality,
his Majesty the Sultan has been pleased to nominate
a Davidchan Effendi Israelite Senator of
the Empire.
TitnKK or tiik Lownoksvii.i.e Murderers
IIu.\<i.?Abbeville, May 4.?Three of the Lowndcsvillc
murderers, Wightman Allen, John Allen
and Jink # Whitner, paidtho penalty of their
crime helm to-day, in fTwfPNfe'ence ofubAtit l,ft(X)
people. The men ascended the scaffold, accompanied
by the Sheriff and a guard," at' 11.30
o'clock, this morning. They showed some signs
of'nervousness but this passed off, and they met
their doom stolidly.
Whitner and Whitman Allen mudc short
speeches, in which they asserted their inuoccnce,
saying that thank God there was no blood on
their hands. John Allen frankly acknowledged
that he had fired at th? murdered man, saying
that he was in the hnnds of God, an<l would tell
(he truth. Ho appeared to appreciate his situation
ami its necessities more deeply than tlie
others. He called the Saviour to witness that to
this day he did not know whether ho had done
wrong or .not. lie concluded l>y thanking
Sheriff Jones for his kindness. The drop fell at
1*2 o'clock.
W'hitner Allen breathed for twenty minutes,
ami evidently died of suffocation. The others
died almost instantly, their necks being broken.
The remaining seven murderers, whose sentence
had been commuted by Governor Hampton to
imprisonment for life, left here for the penitentiary
yesterday, The Governor's action is generally
approved. There was little or no excite
incut, and tlie crowd quietly dispersed.
v
Unitko Status Sknator M. ('. Hutlkr. ?'The
suggestion that the General Assembly should
proceed to elect a United States Senator at its
present session springs frfna tho base souls of
malignant Itadicnls and a few disgruntled Democrats
who are in "the gall of bitterness" because
of the defeat of their own personal aspirations.
We are glad to observe that this scheme
mens Willi no nivor mini 111c vtuiiuunuiu un?jorily
in I lie General Assembly. General Hull or
in (lie United Stales Senate will recall, by his
intellectual power, anil his lofty personal and
public virtues, the better days of the republic
when the gentlemen who fitly represented South
Carolina in that august deliberative body were
worthy to have been Senators qf Koine, while
Home yet survived.
The attempt to link Senator Ktitler's unsullied
name with the "Hamburg horror" was due directly
to the fact that he was the firfit to urge
publicly the nomination of Wade Hampton for
the Governorship. This he did in a letter pub
lished .Juiy>mi, 1X7t>, and the Hamburg affair
occurring on tho Sib of the month, he at once
became tlic objective print of tbe consyfrnTy
formed by t"bamberlain, t'orbin & Co., ami they
