THE INTELLIGENCER. LOCAL MATTERS. THE LOWHDESVILLE MUEDES. A negro named Osborne Rhodes, living upon the plantation of Dr. J. C. Spear near Lowndesville, in Abbeville County, on Sat? urday the 2nd inst., openly boasted in that village that he could martial men enough at any time to kill all the whites in that country. His conduct was violent and his manner threatening. On Monday more ing following he went to the house of Dr. Spear and cursed, abused and villified him in the presence of lib family, and -threatened him and the wbite-peoplegenerally with violence. When Dr. Spear heard Of it he proceeded to Lowndesville and procured a peace warrant for Rhodes, issued by Trial Justice Beck ham, under which he was ai rested, and in default of giving security to keep the peace was committed to the Lowndesville cala? boose by the Trial Justice to keep him in custody until the next morning, at which time he was to be committed to the Abbe? ville jail some twenty-four miles distant. Rhodes' boasts were not empty, as will be seen from what followed. At 8 or 9 o'clock on that night, the 4th inst., an armed band of forty or fifty negroes * broke open the calaboose and liberated Rhodes without any formidable opposition, as no such thing had been expected, and the officers of the law were unprepared to retain their charge against such an attacking party. The negro mob then retired about a quarter of a mile in the direction of the Presby terian church and occupied an open piece of woods. The citizens of Lowndesville thought they had dispersed, and gave themselves no further uneasiness about the matter. They were, however, mistaken. At 11 o'clock p. m.Messrs.'C^avtpn1 Allen aud Theadore G. Baker were returning upon, horseback to Lowndesville from a prayer meeting held at the residence of a neighboring citizen, and upon'reaching" the open woods were fired into by the negro mob. Two vollies were fired, and Allen, who rode upon the side next to the woods, fell instantly dead, hav? ing been literally riddled by the balls from his assassins. Two balls pierced his head and seven or eight went into his body. Baker was shot in the neck and thrown by his horse, whereupon he ran towards the village and was pursued and shot at by the assassins. As soon as the news was heard, a large posse of citizens gathered and went in quest of Rhodes and the leaders of the militia company to which he belonged, but were not successful in finding them that night. On the following day, warrants were issued by Trial Justice Beckham for a number of suspected parties, and about forty negroes, including Rhodes, were arrested. The whole matter was fully investigated, and all but sixteen of the negroes were released by the Trial Justice. Those held for trial were all implicated by their own confessions, or by the testimony of members of the mob, in having taken a part in the shooting, which was done with arms issued to them by the State Government. The captain of the ina litia company fled, and has not been ar? rested. The first lieutenant and two others were arrested three miles above Anderson on last Friday, and carried by Deputy Sheriff Jas. H. McConnell, of this County, to Trial Justice Beckham on that night. On Friday morning thirteen prisoners, all retained by the Trial Justice except the three from Anderson who had not ar? rived at that time, were started to Abbeville jail, under commitments from the Trial Justice in the custody of citizens from Lowndesville, some of whom were relatives of the murdered man. They had not pro? ceeded far, when .they were informed that a large party of negroes were way-laying the road to Abbeville to rescue the prisoners. Thereupon they turned and brought them to Anderson^ where they .were received by Sheriff Wm. McGukin at about 8 o'clock p. m. One prisoner named Samuel Burton was dead, and his two brothers, John and Gilbert, were at the point of death. Doctors Sharpe, Symnies and McFall were imme? diately summoned, and perceiving that they were affected by Laudanum, gave them an? tidotes which restored them in a few honrs. Trial Justice Whitfield, acting Coroner, summoned a jury, composed of both colors, and of both political parties, and held an inquest over the dead man. Several mem? bers of the guard were sworn, and testified that Samuel Burton and his brothers ap? peared sick soon after leaving Lowndes? ville, but would not tell what was the mat? ter wjth themselves. A wagon was pro? cured, and they were put into it. Sam soon was too sick to travel, and was left at a house with a part of the guard, where he very soon died, aud his body was brought to Anderson. The Burton prisoners testi? fied that they got some laudanum at Lowndesville,, and at a bridge on the road, which was given them by a tall white man they did not know; that they drank it to kill themselves; that they knew their brother Sam died from laudanum which he got from John, and that the guard had pro? tected them from danger. The citizens be? lieve the laudanum was carried to the pris? oners by their wives, who were allowed to visit them in the Lowndesville Calaboose before they were started off for jail. The jury, after investigating the matter, unani? mously reudered the following verdict: "We, the jurors, upon our oaths do say that Sam Burton came to his death by the vol? untary nse of laudanum taken by himself, and taken from the hands of his brother, John Burton. Given under our hands and seals, this 9th day of December, 1876." Three of the prisoners were wounded. One broke his arm by a fall in attempting to make his escape at the time he was cap? tured, and the other two were shot?not dangerously?while attempting to escape from the officers of the law. As soon asfthe citizens of the country around Lowndesville learned that a party of negroes had formed to release the prison-* era, some of them formed a party, and de? termined to capture and lynch the murder? ers to prevent the danger of their liberation. Learning of the double danger of attack from both sides, the Sheriff and Jailor, Mr. Daniels, gathered a strong }>ot$e of citizens in the Jail to defend the prisoners against a rescue by either party. The party of whites, about forty strong, came into, this town late on Friday night to take the prisoners out. but were met by citizens, who assured them that the prisoners should not be liberated, and that they sh-Mild be kept in the hands of the law for trial, whereupon they retired, after expressing themselves as satisfied. On Saturday the Sheriff communicated with Judge Cooke, and after consultation carried the prisoners to Wallialla jail, where they are now safely lodged, with a skilled physi cianjn"attendance upon tho wounded. At last accounts great excitement prevailed at Lowndesville, but no excesses were antici? pated. The whites will act upon the defen? sive, and will defer to the proper officers of the law. All the circumstances show that it wis a deliberate plot on the part of a company of colored malitia, armed with State arms, to perpetrate a general and indiscriminate mas? sacre of the white people of that community, which was prevented by the fortunate escape of Baker. Many newly cut clubs and blud? geons were found in the woods which had been occupied by the assassins, and many rumors-are afloat about what they meant to do, and the.sptirce ftftm which the negroes tfeVe pfihtfpiwl ili co^niniifc villainous crime, but us we have found no positive substantiation to them we will not relate them, further than to say that this case calls imperatively for the disarming of the negro mobs in our State familiarly known as mili? tia companies, which are armed with guns belonging to the State, and are organized with the sanction of the Governor of South Carolina. The people of Lowndesville have exercised a self-control throughout, which is indeed wonderful, and they deserve the highest commendation as a law-abiding community. SUICIDE. A colored woman by the nr.me of Daily Thompson hung herself on last Friday morning. She was at times insane, and had threatened to take her own life several times. Trial Justice G. W. Hammond, act? ing Coroner, held an inquest, at which the testimony established these facts, aad the jury found a verdict accordingly. She lived about seven miles below Anderson. A BOLD B0BBEB7. Some thieves ?n last Monday night pulled off the weatberboarding and ceiling of Mr. Gaines' store, in Townville, until they ware able to reach in and open a window, through which they entered, and helped themselves to about fifty dollars' worth of goods. They also got some money from the book-keeper's desk, and an imitation five dollar bill from the show case. They took the patent cash drawer out and carried it to Mr. Gantt's gin house, where they broke it open, hoping to find money. They tried to break open the iron safe, but failed. No clue as yet has been obtaining as to who were the robbers, but a sharp look-out will be kept for them. Our citizens should look out forany attempt to pass an imitation five dollar bill, and promptty inform Mr. Gaines. We hope these rascals will be caught and receive the full penalty of their crime at the hands of the law. BBIEF MENTION. The streets of Anderson have been crow? ded with wagons for the past day or two. loaded with cotton. Middling, 8i to llh We are indebted to Hon. J. S. Murray for the conduct of the editorial department of the Intelligencer during our absence last week. Senator Cochran has been voting with the Democrats of the Senate since the com? mencement of the session. His course is creditable to him. The conduct of Messrs. McGukin, the Sheriff, and F. A. Daniels, the Jailor, on last Friday night in preparing to retain charge of the Lowndesville prisoners de? serves the commendation of our citizens. We are indebted to our friend, the Cor? oner, for a handsome Bramah cock, which he has presented us to crow around the premises over Tilden and Hampton's elec? tion. Mr. Herrick has been very successful in the poultry business, and has a very fine variety of fowls. The President has pardoned Win. S. Gentry, who was convicted of retailing spirituous liquors without license, in this County, and sent by the United States Court to the Albany Penitentiary for the term of two years. The pardon was granted upon the application of E. B. Murray, his attor? ney, on account of the age of the prisoner and the circumstances of his conviction. We would call attention to the advertise? ment of Messrs. Arnstein & Rose, and the offer of premiuuis which they make. The public know from the liberality with which they advertise that they are live, progressive men, and wish to impress upon our readers that the men who advertise, most generally have most" to advertise. These gentlemen have a fine stock of goods, and are in con? stant communication with New York to supply the varying demands of trade. Their politeness and energy merit for them the patronage they receive. Mr. G. W. Fant is now receiving a large lot of elegant books, writing desks, Albums &c., suitable for Christmas presents for gen? tlemen, ladies or children, at the Post Office. He also has a lot of excellent pocket memo? randum books, conveniently arranged, and containing much practical information. We have received a copy, and can say from examination that every business man ought to have one. While our people are prepar? ing to make presents for the holidays, they would do well to examine Mr. Fants' stock at the Post Office. If he has not got what you want, he can order promptly for you. BLOADAWAY CLUE. We are requested to announce that the Broadaway Democratic Club meets on next Saturday at 2 o'clock p. m., and every voter of the township is requested to attend. We are also requested to publish the following preamble and resolution, which were adop? ted by this Club at its meeting on last Satur? day : WnEREAS, at a primary election in this County the merits and demerits of those persons who were desired by the Democratic party were passed upon by the clubs at pri? mary elections?the system adopted in this Couiitv for nominating candidates for office; 1 and whereas all persons thus nominated be? came the candidate for the party and re? ceived the entire vote; And whereas, Wm. McGukin was run for the office of County Treasurer with others, and received a majority vote of the Democ? racy of about six hundred. Therefore be it Resolved, That it is the unanimous request* of this Club, under said arrangement iu our County affairs that Wm. McGukin, a disa? bled soldier, shall receive the appointment of Treasurer for the County of Anderson. Resolved, That any other appointment made in this County would defeat the wis? dom and desire of the Democracy thereof. They therefore respectfully ask that the Gov? ernor elect, Wade Hampton, appoint Wm. McGukin to said office, and this Club vouches for his ability, fidelity and capacity. A BEQUEST. We, the Baptist Church of Christ at Enon, have appointed a meeting to convene here on Friday before the fifth Lord's Day in this month, for the purpose of organizing a Union Meeting, which -we trust will be for tiic glory of God. We request all the Churches in Anderson County that belong to the Third Union Division of the Twelve Mile River Baptist Association, viz?Bea verdam. Mount Pisgah, Mountain Spring, Six and Twenty and Siloam?to meet with us at the appointed time by delegation. D. W.' HI ATT, Pastor. S. II. Gauy, Clerk. Address of Ggner?l Nichols to the People of Louisiana.?General Fr ancis T. Nichols has issued an address to the people of Louisiana counselling them to pursue a policy of peace for the vindication of their rights. Speaking as the duly-elected Governor, lie says: "In the midst of events vitally and injurious? ly affecting your highest and most sacred rights you have been calm, prudent, and law-abiding. The sole moving consider? ation with every citizen should be the good of the State and the perpetuation of Republican institutions. All action based upon any other idea is unworthy of the o icasion. Need I remind you there are moment in the history of every people where the highest courage and most ex? alted devotion are best exemplified by noble self-control ? The final triumph of right and justice rest and depend upon allowing results to be worked out by quiet, legal methods." ? Beverly Nash and Chloroform Car? penter had a set to in Columbia on Tues dav. Carpenter came out of it with a A Card to the Public. Columbia, S. C, Dec. 7,187G. The following paragraph appears in an address of D. H. Chamberlain delivered at the capitol to-day: "The gentleman who was my opponent for this office in the late election has re? cently declared, as I am credibly inform? ed, that he holds not only the peace of this city and State but my life in his hand. I do not doubt the truth of his statement. Neither the public peace nor the life of any man who now opposes the consummation of this policy of fraud and violence is safe from the assaults of those who have enforced that policy." I pronounce this statement infamously false. By my unwearied exertions I have endeavored to preserve the peace of the State, and I have thus contributed to shield from popular indignation one who has proved himself "a disgrace to his rank and a traitor to his trust." His conscience may make him tremble, but neither I nor the men with whom I act countenance the hand of the assassin. (Signed) Wade Hampton. Death of an Old Citizen.?John A. Crawford, Esq., an old citizen of Co? lumbia, but a native of the county of Antrim, Ireland, departed this life at noon, on Sunday, in the 82d year of his age, after an illness of a few days, of pneumonia.

His death will be universally regretted, as he was an active, go-ahead, business man. He has been in bad health for many months. His age was 70.?Phcmix.
