The Orangeburg news. (Orangeburg, S.C.) 1867-1875, February 18, 1871, Image 4
mm\ -t
Information has reached us of an
other terrible tragedy in Union Couo
ty. Kight prisoners were taken from
the jail and brutally murdered on Sun
day night last, by a mob of disguised
men. A "speciul" to the Charleston
Daily News thus gives tho particulars of
the frightful havoc made of human life
by these fiends incarnate
"Tho facts of tho wholesale ruob-mur
ders in Union County seem to bo about
as follow;; A number of mounted men
?supposed to be about five hundred?
appeared at Union Courthouse ubout 12
o'clock Sunday night, and proceeded to
the jail. They demanded the keys from
Jailor Hughes and Deputy Sheriff Hill,
who refused to surrender* thorn. Mrs.
Hughes wus then catechised as to tho
whereabouts of the keys, but, being
greatly alarmed, did not answer?merely
pointing to a bureau, where they wore
deposited. The drawers wcro immedi
ately opened, ;ho keys obtained, tho jail
doors opeu?d, and ten colored prisoners
. (under indictment for the Stevens mur
der) were carried to tho hanging grouod
?about a mile and a half from tho
town?when six of tho party were shot,
two hung, and two "turned up missing."
The jailor and deputy sheriff were car
" ricd off from the jail about a mile, and
tied in front of tho sheriff's residence.
After the jailor had been bound, a letter
-_r..it- .-. ;??-.._.1_j :_ v;- . i .
et, signed K. K K., and contained these
words: 'Whtreus, it is douhtcd that
Thomas intended removing the prisoners
from a place of, fair trial, tho people
Were compelled to administer justico
themselves.' 'Lot not thy right hand
know what thy left hand doeth 1' 'Mo
loch will have his victims even if Mich
aol of justice mint have his martyrs !' "
Tho 1'tc.lcgrum" further states that,
"there is no eluo to the perpetraton."
Will not this bo Hufficicnt to move Gov
ernor Scott from a passivo irresolution
in regard to tho up count/y troubles, to
action t
\Ye ask : Ts human life te bo thus
frittered away, when the arm of tho law i
is strong enough to protect it? Are
Wicked atffl hellish scenes like thcao to
bo enacted upon the soil of our State
much longer ? Will Governor Scott re
niaia inert and inactive in this matter ?
Docs he place so little an estimate upon
human lifo and upon human souls, as to
reeeivo Jntcliigcnco of those outrages,
Without at once resolving to put a ?top
South Carolina will bo declared a nest
of assassins, and *thc very atmosphere
thronged with Ku-Kluxes; when the
fact of it is, tho whole thing is confined
to the vicinity of TJuion Court House,
and the outrages committed perhaps by
men who are not citizens of our State.
Gods! shall it bo said that South
Caroliua is unable to protect hcrselffrom
the outlawry of a few strolling frccboot
ers of Uniou County, and bordering
States.
We say no.
Let Governor Scott call upon the
Law-abiding citizens, and it will not be
suid. One hundred of tho right sort of
men, sent to tho up-country ri^bt now,
would do more towards arresting the
guilty parties, and restoring order, than
seventeen thousand constables.
They would even do better than Uni
ted States troor^. We admit these
would servo the purpose just now; but
wo want a lesson taught. As soon 0e
order was brought about, these troops
would bo taken away, and these outlaws
would feel themselves free agnin. But
send a determined Dumber of white na
tives up there, and it will teach these
villians two lesssous. 1. That their
work is not concurred in by everybody ; i
I 2. That tho best men of the State are
I over ready to assist in having thern ar
| rested and brought to justice, and hung
I if the magnitude of their crimes demand
I 1
No, wo say let us try and take care of
our own State. Let's uot give the North
! any more cause to believe that we arc
all cut-throats.
t
Tbc adoption of the course, or one
similar to the one indicted in this arti
cle, will, in our opinion, bsve a most
salutary ofFcct.
At all events, justice demands that
Gov. Scott shall take some step in re
gard to these troubles, and that quickly.
Action ! actUn t? ?eiien !!! is the es
sential remedy, and it must be opccdily
applied.
Tho World Almanac for 1870 is in
valuable. The statistical iuformation it
contains is worth a great deal to any |
man of business.
TSn^lmm^f^^mi?^TiW^^Todl^n^mtuc
other State! not un frequently-' Iiis
deluded constituents would go for rc-in
stating him, when his term was out.
What a commentary upon the igno
rance of many of the Republican party.
How eloquent an appeal it ought to he
to those who have the fpwer in their
bunds of educating tho masses ! Alas!
that we arc forced to say that in our
opiniou there are many who laugh and
chuckle over the ignorance that broods
over our land ; th \t some men are wick
ed enough to conspire to keep thousauda
of.human Eculs in darkness, iu order
that they may be the more easily duped.
G?d grant that in the next campaign
these evils may bo hunted down and up
rooted ; and honest men, citi/.cus of South
Corolinn, elected to fill the ofTieos which
many hold now but to tarnish and dis
grace !
When we say citizens of South Caro
lina, we mean it in this sense. Wo
mean nil those who shall live here at
that time, and whose purpose it is to
use what their office makes fur them, for
the good of tho State ; who will promise
to help lighten tho burden of taxation
thut now oppresses our people,
j This is plain.
And this will bo demanded of every
man who offers himself fur pos'tion in
1872.
We havo conferred with gentleman
high in position upon this ?ubjoot, and
were assured that this point should be
most strongly embodied iu the next
platform of tho Republic n party.
All cau aud will uritc, upon a princi
ple like this, and work for tho welfare
of the Stato. It must succeed, and we
but echo tho drifts of determined minds,
when wo write it down to-day. The
man who coincs here ono year hence,
just ou the eve of a cumpaign, aud puts
himself before the people for an office,
will not meet tho reception ho might
have received iu tho past, lie will be
renuestod to rn back home. And that,
I too, by tho Republican party.
