NEAGL.E'.S NEW AND IMPROVED Foial
OF "sUlM1ARY PROCESS."
We copy the following spicy re
port from the News and Courier.
CoLUMIA, S. 0., January 2.
The Ion. J. L. Noaglo, ox. comp
troller of the treasury, nocompanied
by his idus Achates, .Dr. Moore,
(brother-jn'daiwof flonest John Pat
terson,) went up on Tueaday last to
the Preston Mansion, now occupied
by his Exoollency, the younger
Moses., on 4 collecting tour. While
the nicrehants'clerks wore on their
rounds presenting their little bills
as the year drew near its lo3e, (he
ex-comptroller thought it a good time
to look after that little balance re
naining unpaid at the last settlement
had with his Excellency. Arming
himself with his well known and
effective collecoting implement, one
of ColL's, or Smith & Wessop's shoot
ing irons, he appeaxed at the gaeo
and
SUIMONED THE CASTLE TO SURRENDER,
or stand and deliver. A sleek serv
ing man, Stewart by name, promptly
ansiwered the bell, but stood aghast
before the extraordinary and un.
welcome* demand made upon his
Excellency to shell out. He vontur
ed to remonstrate, and was bold
enough to characterize the purpose
of the visit in such language as it
deserved from a flunkey's point of
view. But Neagle had the article
and the nerve for tho occasion.
Whipping out his collecting irons
he let fly, once, twice, or may be
thrice, and Africa incontinently boat
a retreat., taking refuge bohind the
G(ubernatorial robes. Such a scene
was never enacted in o'ur one.
horse town before, and there was
imininent danger lost the castle it
self should be stormed. But
Till: FORC ES AT .AST DREW OFF,
and his Excellency quieted .Ibis
nerves with a fresh Havana. Still
as the bellicose ox-comptroller's I
wrath was not ap;peased and his pur
pose to jcollect not Iolinguished, it
was thought advisable, atter a hasty
consult a t ion, to have him arrestcd I
and bound over to keep the - peace.
He was taken before Trial Justice
Stratton that evening on chargos
profered by Stewart, but was releas
ed on his own recognizance in the
sum of fifteen hundred dollars. So
eudeth fytte the first. Upon a calin
review Qf the whole matter. suggosted
by the sheriff or his deputy, and
standiog
IN TnI SMALL TFMPILE Or JU-rw,
where Ilonehst John was recently so
triumphantly vindicated by the
oat.hs of Worthington, Windsor, Gunn
and others, Neagle felt disgusted
and dissatisfied. Ie0 had not re
(eeived- his . money ; he had not
brought down his man ; lie was not
admitted into the august presence of
the royalty wijthin ; he had been
arrested ;he was held to bail. His
rights were clearly not vindicated,
and his feelings broke out in ex.
pjetives and. threate of the most stun
ning sort. Inforpiation of this. hav
ing been conveyed to Moses,"and ho
being due inl Charleston on Wednes,.
day afternoon, lie was in a quandary
about how to reach the depot in
safety the next morning. Thme last
geen of him here wans on the wvav
down, guarded by the sheriff, D~oni,,
and his son. Dent is a plucky man,
and Moses is on his biond. Uc coni
ducted tile ..head of the Stato in
safety, and thme City by the Sea, no
dlot.,. enjoyed thlp favor of hia
sophomorical addresses (luring the
holidays. Dent's son made dis slos -
ures and an ailldavit, touching
NICAGLE'8 o ONTINUal) vioLHNT PUR
uphoni which he was again arrested,
and this time held to bail in the
sum of $5,000. Still he was not
"happy," and when your correspond
ent saw him on New Year's Eve lie
was breathing out throatninig and
slaughter. 110 started to take the
night train for Charleston, but
whether he g ained it or not we have
not hear:1. Alosos was still alive at
6 o'clock on New Year's day. Thlus
endeth fytto the second. A story is
current that the .e-omptroller,
reaching the depot, and not flndong
the object of his wrath, comnpromised
the situation, and cooled his exoited
feelings by kissing one of Africa's
dusky daughters who happened to be
standing opportunely in the way oif
receiving the embrace, thus yerifying
the old connection as sung by poets
between love and war. But for this
L cannot vonch. onsitavitn.
TiF, SECQU EL IN CIIA lSJToNI.,
Thle vengefnl ex-comptrollor fol
lowed the Governor to Charleston,
arriving hero on thme mfornting of thme
let, in tinme to witnesses the review
and inspection of the eplored troops.
Goyernor Moses recoivod a telegram
from one of his friends on. Wednes
day night informing him that Neagle
bad taken the traIn for. Charleston,
and that the air was filled gith~ his
dire threats of vengeance., This in
telligence, it may readily be inmagined,
did not serve to soothe the eommand
er-in-ohiot- and his slumbers that
iight were anything hut tranquil. I
the morning cttmo the droad iotelli
gen1e that the bloodthirsty Neagl
fiad actually arrivcd in the city, ali
Anid that ho was aceompanied by
A FIRST-C.A88 I.ACK InI1 AND
whom Neagle had hired to assassinat
Moses. Hero was a dileuina for th
doughty chief. The colored troop
were anxious to be inspected and re
viewed, and unlos the G overn oi
showed limsief at tht liead of' hh
aidcs, there would be trouble among
the faithful. On the other hand it
was stated that the ex-conptrollei
was determined to follow the proces.
8ion and shoot down the Governor or
the public streetv. The hero of Fort
Sumter became utterly demoralizod,
and a hasty consultation was called,
at which all the military celebrities
and several of the imunicipal and
county police were present. It was
olded by this council that
NICAOI.r BIoT n AtRE.wrE)
rnd put in jail-kept ont of the way.
But how was this to be done without
an affidavit from the Governor, stating
that he was afraid that Neaglo would
attempt to take his life ? The solici
tor was urged to undertake the job,
but doelined unless the proper aflidia
vitS were made. Neagle was aiready
inuder bonds to keop the polic, and
the law could not touch him nnies,
some overt hostilo dem1onstration
were by him. This consultation de
layed the parade, which was to have
saken place a tell o'clock in tlt' m11or
ig. Time was pressing, but the dif
ioulties of the sittuatioi rmCiaiied.
l'hie colored troops were already
t8ssem1 bling ; aides were gil lop ing
ither and thither, and the rank and

I'he trouble was tlus tepllorarily
