The sensational finale of the outlaw's life, tho ringing down of tho curtain, is now nn event of yesterday, however, and will soon lie tradition merely. Yesterday. all Dcmopolia quit bugteqn tP thwtm?R!'i,vuiit^-'trjuRy"Tnoy are up ana about as usual and discussing yesterday's occurrence only casually. Amidst the turmoil and confusion yesterday, much gnrbling was done in giving out the accounts, and necessarily some of this disjointed work Is more or less visible in every paper. The story of tho capture of Burrows on xursciny evening, you are an iamiunr with. On tlic arrival of McDullic hnd BUrrows at Linden, the former. ACTED IN A STRANOK MANNER. Instead of delivering his prisoner to the shrill' af Marengo county, McDuflie with the assistance ofhis two negroes, rcta'ned custody of the prisoner. MoDuflic's courao is explained by the fact that Tie was ndt inclined to turn Burrows over to the sheriff because the iatcrmight claim the reward or a portion of it for tl c delivery of Burrows to tho Express company. And *so on account of this idea ot'MeDufBe's, Burrows was left in a room of the jail building, McDuflie 1 ll.n i..... ~ ?11 UAA..tl.. 3 tuiu UiU IIC^IUUO nil I1CUYJIV tlllllUU kept guartl over the prisoner until midnight, w ncn one of tlio negroes went to sleep.

Ilia feet were chained together, but by a piece of inexcusable carelessness his hands were left free. The outlaw was silent for a long time after lie cnterd the room, but dually this sullenuass woro away and ho had^julte n conversation with McDuffie ou the cIirbo after him. Burrows waB especially bitter against Detcctlvo Thos. Jaokson. .He satd he was glad Jacksoa had missed him. lie had over a hundred opportunitiesof killing Jackson, but MAY BE HE DID and may be he didn't. The people would hear more of it later. It must have been along about 3 o'clock, says McDuffie, when his prisoner asked hh.i for something to eat, saying he was hungry and had uot tasted food since the morning. McDuffio replied Mint, be war iii a similar condition, but iherewas no help for 't, and they must flick it oul togethcrr Burrows then said ho had soino candy nud corn bread and bacon in his saddle-bags, and bo desired to get the food. Almost before bo wnsawcre of it, says McDuftic, the negro got up. walked to the door, picked up the leather cavalry sandle-bags and tossed them over to Burrows. The latter reached bis band down into one ot the partitions, and produced some candy, giving somo to McDuffle and some to tho negro, who had given him the saddlebags. They all sal there eating and talking for some foui or five minutes, Burrows seeming to b< in unusually good spirts. Suddenly, without a word of warninj or a pielinimarv^iuotion indicative u ^vhat was 1;K( ,,,;,Tn] S *Troin the saddlebags, aud covering cnel of his guards he ordered the chains stricken from his legs. Tho negro com menced the work while McDufllo move< slowly nearer to Burrows, with the intcn tlon, lie says, of overpowering him witl the assistance of the other negro guard who had by this lime awakeded. Whei he had approached very near to the out law the latter said: "That will do. Yoi had bette" keep your distance or some thing mightliappun." McDufllc obeyed saying: "Rube, the cake is yours." Bur rows was soon unchained. Then, witl his pistols still drawn, he made one c the negroes chain MeDuffle, and tied th other negro to him. Ha then locked tl door, saying: "I'm Rnbo Burrows, au I'm dOING TO PAINT TIII8 TOWN 11 ED. "I Ti'?ut to knew where the fellow i that's got my monev. I am going to kl! k him." Bidding McDufhe goodbye. Bui ' -.rows, with the negro in frount of hire Started out to find Mr. J. It. Carter, wit whom tha money found on him the eve ning before had been deposited.

When ho opened the door a stepped out, Burrows Instantly cover Jiim with two pistols, saying: "Givo i ^fey money; o*i*ll kill you, yoo- Carter looked bis opponr .it and his expression was rene, He looked at Rum possibly, a a ond, and then two pistol snotp rang c the one seeming but an eoho shot of Other.

He got the chains loose, secured a gar and prized opki. the door JgJSuuCMKfvJ'Aa vtWrArg mo pmce, a" ireO man once more, ho heard tho p'stol shots ring out and hurried in the direction from which they camc. Arriving ut the sccno of tho desperate duel, McDufflc stumbled upon tho body of Burrows, from which the ijIFK was ka8t leaving. It wns now almost lieht enough to see, and McDuflle had uo trouble in distinguishing who it wns. A little pool oi blood had formed on the grouud beside tho body,. His next thought was of Carter, and to bim McDufllo turned his attention, It was found that Carter had beeu painfully, but not daugcrously, wounded in tho lelt shoulder, from which he will recover in a few days. Another examination developed that in the interim. Burrows' life with ita black cloud of horror and sin* had vanished'wlth the inkv skies or night.

The lifo of our party is threatened. White supremacy In South Carolina is endangered. "What was predicted, hut hardly expected, has happened. An Independent movement has been inaugurated; an Independent ticket has been nominated, and for its success in the impending electt^^ruiition has been effected babvjr TuV'"ut *?paUTtCHf>'*rti.ty and tho deser<,.?Wn itom tho ranks of the Democracy. A small gathering of citizens calling t.hftmijfilvad Stmiffhtunk Hornnnrnta rnn. resenting at best only a defeated minority of a defeated minority of the Democrats of the Stato, have held a conference in Columbia, in defiance of tho regularly constituted authorities of our party, have set at naught the action of tho regular Democratic conventions held in August and September, have proclaimed war against our Democratic leaders and nominees, and, to lead them in this internecine strife, they have nominated a full State ticket, with Judge Haskell at its head, as their nominee for Governor. By this action on their part, in opposition to the action of an overwhelming majority of the Democrats of South Carolina, they have read themselves out of the ranks of tho Democracy. By calling upon the negro voters to aid .them in their fratricidal war against ftheir white brethren, they havodeclared |keadyand willing to See South Carolina again under the neel of the alien tyrant They are*, a few olfthem, men of high social standing and of great political influence and experience; some of them men whom this Stato has delighted to honor, and who have filled high positions in reward for their distinguished service as patriots and Democrats. It is therefore with-feelings of regret and disappointment that we see tliem voluntarily departing from our Democratic ranks and subjecting themselves to the censure so well expressed by Governor Hampton when he said that an Independent is worse than a Radical. But our duty is clear. The Democratic party of South Carolina must defeat this Independent movement. No loyal Democrat can conscientiously vote for the Independent ticket. And we call upon you, tho white men of the whole State, as patriots and as Democrats, to be true to your country, true to your party and true to your race. By all that VOll hold rlAar hv vmir livon nml lU*erties, by your homes and families, by your white civilization and pride of race, we appeal to you to quit you, like men, like Democrats, liko Carolinians. If you would prevent the restoration o/ the ruinous rule under which our State lay helpless and prostrate from 18G8 to 1876. ii you would spare your wives and children the re-enactment of the scenes of those dark and terrible days, if you would enjoy prosperous days and peaceful nights, you will not cast your ballots for the Independent ticket. Much though you may admire and 1 esteem Judge Haskell and his co-nomi ! nees, you will, as faithful Democrats and patriotic South Carolinians, vot* i for the regular Democratic ticket whicl was nominated by the Democratic Con i vention on the 10th day of September , A solid, unbroken Democracy is of fai . greater importance to this State thai , the success of any man or any sot o h men. lie not deceived by the address to thi people, not the Democrats of Soutl Carolina, which was adopted by the In ? dependent Conference. Among othe | specious argumentation it is sough * tnorein to induce good Democrats to b< > disloyal to their party by telling then t that it i3 vain to say that the action o a political party exempts the voter fron responsibility. This is ft trap for th unwary, a prop for tho unsteady. Sue! - action is utterly undemocratic. Ni t party could exist if each member sliouli o be a law unto himself. Party fealt; n compels each true Democrat to suppor li the regular party nomination, ft i . undemocratic in any man, or any miri 0 ority of men, to rebel against the actio y of the majority of their party. 1 Democrats of South Carolina: Th _ 4th of November is near at hand.

In an editorial this afternoon the Record says': "Perfect freedom of thought has come and come to stay, though it may be the ruin of the State.

IS IT A FRAUD1 IDENCE THAT THE CENSUS RETURNS HAVE BEEN FALSIFIED. nu to Hob Now York of ConBreuloml Heprcaontotlon?The Nrcro Population Ii;noro?t In the Southern States?"Down wflP With Them All Sixteen Per Cent." Washington, D. C., Oct. 13.?Abundcd as Iho people of New York ust bo at the revelations of the police . at thero is a method in the errors that ^ ivo been proven to exist in tho cenv ports. investigations sot on foot by the forld more than a month ago confirm 10 most startling suspicions. The web of entangling evldcneo h^.8 ready enmeshed a Congressman from rooklyn, a brace of political managers i that city and half a dozen clerks In arious departments of the census of:e, Clues leading to very much higher ame are iu the World's possession, but , is deemed wise and proper to put the coplo of the country on their guard rithout further delay, that an official lvcstigatioumay be prosecuted at ouce. The evidence so far adduced appears ) show? First?That there is a deliberate pur oso on ihc part ot the leaders of the ominant party to retain the Cougressmal majority now in its grasp. Second?That to serve this end a gaug f unscrupulous men, withoat the saneion of the leaders of their party, have ounived auu conspired together to deraud niauy of the States of this Union ut of their legitimate Congressional rcpescntalion. Third?That a secret office was titled ip In Washington at No. 200 D street, W., where a gang of trusted clerks vere detailod to alter the true census eturns?by scaling down tho totals or ncrcasing the same?that the growth of Democ-atlc States should not be honestly e ported.

Sixth?That the State ot New Hampshire, which has lust population, was to be scaled up so that its present quota of Congressional representation should not be changed. Seventh?That Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Maine and Minnesota were to be "very liberally counted;" and that the blunders at Minneapolis and St. Paul arose from a stupid misinterpretation of instructions. Eighth?That tho Southern State were to be "juna icd upon." States that have shown greatest growtli were to suffer to the extent of 14 to 10 per cent. Ninth?That this infamous job has to u large e"ient, boon carried out; and that when the researches of the World frightened the conspirators they moved the secret ofl'ce'from No. 20G I) street, Washington, to Cathedral street, Baltimore, near the Monument, where for the past s'x weeks the dastardly work has . been iu pi ogress. Tentli?That enough evidence exists to discredit the whole census, independent ot the exposures in New York city. The World has in its possession the names of the men who have been nctivo in this work, and ot nearly all the clerks \\ ho were detailed to engege in the monstrous undertaking. TUB STORY OF TllU FRAUD. Early in June last it was apparently decided to uudcrtake this dangerous and, up to this time, new step in "practical politics" A certain Mr. Morgan organized the work. The second story x of a three-lloored house on J) street (No. 9k 20G) was rented at $20 per month, and cartloads of material from the census i ofllce were removed thereto. Twelve clerks who could bo relied upon to hold their tongues were engaged in Ju'y and put to work. HOUSBOF THK CONSPIRACY. Tho duties of these men were continuous, they toiled day and night. Tho tally cards of certain States were brought to tho D street house at night, retained a few days and then returned to tho census ofllce. The landlady of tho house, Mrs. Doling, a matronly and comely woman ot thirty-five, grew curious to know what work was being prosecuted in her apartments. She asked Stephen W. Norton an nppoiutcc in the census ofllce from Wiulield. Kau., what lie knew about tho matter, but gained 110 information. Sho likewise importuned Census Clerks Sarvis-, Church, Wibon and Octavius, who were employed on the work, for information. Sho did not got any. Shortly after this incident a groat muss oi cuiisus iikuuhui was uuiuuu m the second story frout room of the D street house. A man giving the natuo of Nelson then appearednpon the scene. JI is authority with the clerks was respected by all. Ho was chiefly instrumental in tho Qua! removal of tho office to Baltimore, ho tak, ing up his abode at tho Carrolton Hotel. , His name is probably an assumed t one. 1 Five Men Illnwn to Atoms.
