Keoeat events admonish us. and I hope baa prepared the publio mind for a serious 0 oonaideration of the matter. Whenever a lynching baa occurred the a press has denounced it ; but the editors hare been regarded by the publio at hypo- j crftos, truckling to Northern hypocrites, who would themselves joiu a lynching party . hutilit the crime come home to one of tbeir , family or fricaJi. r And bow in Columbin has be?n bold an ' indignation mooting which is worse limn 4 lynching itself. 1 have no doubt (hot msnjr j ., wool to that meeting simply to express their disapprobation of mob law, but politicians controlled it virtually ints sn incendiary neb. It certainly did no good. It will not prevent the Northorn people from making what capital out of it they can far the purpose of slandering the Hutch and to continue their domination of us. ' A hundred such meetings would not , prevent another lynching for the same crime, while it tends to general inwlessnesi instead of specific lawlessness?to endanger propeity and the lives ef thousands instead of a life here and theie of some worthless character. The more thoughtful, sensible negroes realise tbe importance of improving the morals of their own race, especially of their t women, as a neorssarv step to their progress i . In oivllisation, but the worvt of them are , evidently chafing under the moral restraints thrown around them. The people of llarnwell would have lynched n while mm f r the same crime. White men sltcot each ether without scruple for sucli ofienve*, oad < the neero therefore has no race irriernncc. The filed, unalterable determination of the whites to protect their wonrn against assaults of ao hideous u Mature is right?is an honor to them, and therefore unless the courts can giro scout ily to them, lynching will continue without regard to Northern hypocrisy, native hypocrisy, political inceudiuri-un, race war or any other censequeucor. The courts have failed to givu such security and therefore a change is dictated by common sense ami hy indica'ions that n 1 much longer continuance in our present I course may lead to worse e?ils. I Hut lynching lias alss failed to | revent ( this horrible crime anil it is to this fact that 1 desire to call special tltrntifii. Not only in South Carolina, hut elsewhere ilie.se brutes hove been cmlittualy lynched; otic | was even skinned and otic burnt, yel the crime is repeated nil the same. The fuel is that thu cla?s wliicli commits tills crime is not swayed by feir of death ' any more tlinn an aniiuul. The idea that if I caught they will be put itiitiieJiatoty out of | the way of rcptonch is a relief to them. It is a well-known fact that these criminals, ' negroes especially, have met death upon the ' - scaffold singing and exulting?the great t 11 l~*-. single actors in* a heroic tragedy?the , envied of the other criminals to be.

On every jury are men who give the criminal?when death is the penalty?the benefit of the slightest doubt, and not being a'lle to detect the sophisms of lawyers or . sift great musses of testimony, turn loose c iuunuls who ought te he punished, while singular enough, perhaps, a far larger nuin tier of people iu ?tciy coiiiiniiiiy do not h ive a suthcient realization of the stored11 ess of human life.

Deab Sir : I desire to call jour a-.tontion 1 the recent ljncbing at Denmark in collection with the following a ateroenl: So far no warrant has been swora out bj ?y one against any pereoa supposed to be >unected with tlie affair ; and the proceedigi and the verdict of ttie jury of inquest ire no information upon wich the prvaejtion can be begun. Under these circumances, if the ciao ia ever to receive that ivestigation that ita gravity aeon.a to reuire, it becomes the dulv of the executive Seer to institute proceedings in the premies. Inasmuch as the violation of the lew was >mmiticd in a community in which I have any relatives and connections, it is not opropablo that some of them were impliited, especial y as it is stated that the Hire community was engaged in the enterrise. Such being the case, any effort on my irt to bring the perpetrators to justice ould be embarrassing to me and probably y me open to the charge of partiallity an 1 isincerity. 1 would therefore requeit that your Kxt'lcney would charge the Solicitor of one ' the adjoioiug circuits to take charge of le case, and would suggest Solicitor Jerty, whose circuit adjoins this county and bo probab'y best understands the situnion id could give the matter satisfactory otintion. Assuring you that I shall be ready a', any me to render such service as the case and y office requires, 1 am, respectfully, G. l)?r.scan Bbi.linokk, Solicitor of the Second Circuit.
