fyvfotm ?nttlli$mtx. JS?: A- MO VT. )_ E. B. Ml'BlAY, J THURSDAY ?0HMIH?, MARCH 22,1877. Tba United States Senate concluded its labors in extra session on Saturday last and adjourned tine die. Tho confir minion of Fred. Douglass fe? Marshal of the District of Columbia excited somo interest in the closing proceedings. Sen ator Morgan, of Alabama, urged thc con firmation on the ground that it was a recommendation of tVo Chief Executive as a recognition of the claims of the col ored race through their most popular representative man. Senators Hill, Beck and Garland also voted to confirm the nomination. The nomination of Wm. Stone as District Attorney for South Carolina, on motion of Senator Cordon, went over until the next session, when it is hoped Mr. Hayes will withdraw the nomination, and send in the mun o of a man? more acceptable to the people of South Carolina. Earle, of Greenville, was the chief competitor with Stone for the position, but his nomination would be equally distasteful. It is noteworthy that tho extremo Rad icals aro greatly disappointed in their expectations from tho new occupant of thc White House. Soon after the inau guration, when Hayes' inaugural address was quite fresh, it was Don Cameron who said, "It would have been better to have had Tilden." This remark seems to have inspired others, for Blaire said to a friend in Washington, only a few days after wards, that ho "bad no more influence with Hayes tban a pago on tho floor of the Senate." Col. Bob Ingersoll, the great orator of the Weat, whose labors in behalf of the Republicans were hercu lean, asks thia question : "What party do I belong to now, I should like to know ?" And Ben Butler is reported as saying, "We have taken a great deal of trouble, and won a defeat." Thcso shining Ik ts of former days seem to think that, with the "counting in" of Mr. Hayes, "Othel lo's occupation's gone." Tho country can stand it, if they cannot. '' Vor ways that are dark and tricks that are vain," tho average South Caro lina Republican was always peculiar. Washington dispatches state that Borne of Chamberlain's friends, who woro pushing his cause with tho President, got themselves into quite a predicament not long ago by being among the partie panta in a faro game at the "Club," ono of the most notorious gaming houses in Washington. The police mode a raid after midnight upon the salton, and cap tured among others quite a delegation from South Carolina. Among the num ber were Ex-Senator F. A. Sawyer, who was assistant secretary of tho treasury under Secretary Richardson ; Judgo Car penter, the political acrobat of South Carolina ; one Congressman and two Ex Congressmen from the samo State. The police were oven harder than usual on these distinguished (?) captives, for they were kept all night in the station house. Chamberlain was quite forgotten by these worthies for a time, and ho will doubtless attribute the failure of his causo to their fondness for "fighting the tiger.". Governor Hampton is now engaged in organising a strong and effective constab ulary force, and has recently appointed Co). William Butler, of Edgefield, as tho Chief Constable of the State, under the provisions of the law authorizing this orgatiizatiou. Coi. Datier was in com mand of the First Regiment of South Carolina Regulars during the war, and at the battle of Averyeboro, after tho cap ture >f Col. Alfred Rhett, commanded the brigade of regulars. He vras an offi cer in the old United States Army, and only recently bad his disabilities re moved. He is a son of tho late Dr. William Butler, who represented this section in Congress many years ago, and is a brother of Gen. M. C. Butler. His appointment is regarded as an excellent ejection, for this responsible position. Gov. Hampton evidently means business ic the right direction, and 1 when the proper timo arriv?e, the "eviction of Chamberlain" will speedily follow. The President and bis advisers may attempt to dally with the question of a dual gov ernment in South Carolin?, but the right ful Governor cannoi wait always on their slow and tardy movements. STEW HAMPSHIRE ELECTION. The annual election in Now Hampshire occurred on Tuesday, loth inst. Very little popular interest waa manifested in the ?<8v\*, iud there waa absolutely no excitement connected with the campaign. lt was' conceded by the Democrats that small gains would be made by their op ponents, and tiic result has been in ac cordance with this expectation. B. F. Prescott, the Republican nominee for Governor, waa chosen by a majority of thirty-five hundred. The Republicans elected two Congressmen-James F. Briggs, Second District, and Henry W. Blair, Third District. The Democrats re-elected Frank Jenes by a small ma jority in tho First District.

PATTERSON'S PROJECTED PLAN. The plan proposed for a new election tn ?ll it gt??-. cAaniu ?A lioyn ?rr. ?nu I Ail from the fertilo hrr.in of Honest John Patterson, who was hacked by the im maculate Corbin in its preseuta?fau to President Hayes last week. The plan embraced nine propositions, involving tho recognition of Chamberlain under his cid title, and graciously permitting Governor Hampton to take part in the arrangement of thc election machinery. Indeed, it is stated that tho cwpeUbuggor from Pennsylvania, who pretends to rep resent this people in the United States Senate, declared his intention of sup porting Hampton in thu new election. We are not aware that Governor Hamp ton has done anything to merit such dis tinguished consideration from Honest John, and must conclude that these o flem aro among the lotest gratuities of that benevolent individual. Aside from the sou-ce begetting this new proposition, however, the plan for a new election was destined to prove a failure, and it ls not surprising that it was promptly condemn ed and repudiated on all sides. Governor Hampton properly regarded the proposi t?nn - an ?..? - ?- .-?.> In?til anrtna i-f,a MO nu ? '..-.? ti; jv. Ultu SUOMI ?, uiiu o|?.jtj? ing from such a detestable source, it was intensely disgusting. Even President Hayes did no! squire much deliberation to make up hi. mind that thc scheme was impracticable and mischievous, although Patterson industriously circulated the falsehood that the President favored this plan for a settlement of thc difficnHies in South Carolina. A sober second thought would convinco any mau of average intellect that such n acheme ia worse than ueelcss. In addition to the untold mischief to bo inflicted upon tho industrial and material interests of tho State, the authority to order a new elec tion does not exist, and the title of a Governor chosen under such nn election would be less tangible and more doubtful even than the pretended authority of Mr. Chamberlain at this time. No power is authorized to order a new election in this State, and it is frivolous and useless for any ono to expect a solution of tho pres ent troubles other than by the ultimate recognition of thc lawful Governor. This fresh proposal on the p.->rt of the Radicals indicates that their confidence in sustaining Chamberlain ia fast waning and weakening. Thc shallow mockery kept up under the surveillance and pro tection of an armed aoldiery docs not gather strength or importance as tho days aro lengthened, nnd the inevitable result stares them squarely in tho "ice. The whirligig of time docs not bring them consolation, nor docs tho atmosphere around Washington improve their politi cal hygiene. Honest John scents the coming storm, and the fatuitous Corbin perceives the wreck boforo him. It has been a hard task to make these fellows understand that thc honest and oppressed people of South Carolina wcro determined never again to submit themselves to the artful manipulations of their robbor band. But the light is breaking upon their be clouded visions, and new devices aro re lied upon to beguilo thc people. It would ba a blessing that Chamberlain and the rest of them might rcniizo for one singlo moment the attitude of nfiairs in this* State. Tho patience and endurance of the people cannot much tonger maintain this extremo tension, and it would bo well with such characters aa Chamber lain, Patterson and Corbin that distanco shall interposa between them and tho righteous indignation of an outraged populace. We do not believe that tho restraining influences of public men, even the powerful asevidency of Gover nor Hampton over the popular mind,'can possibly keep tho present posture of af fairs much longer without a serious out break. Hence, it ia not only tho suprem est folly, bnt a monsircis crimo against the peace of the State to longer delny the pnly settlement consistent with fight, ?ustice and tho consent of the governed. Ex-Governor Scott Favors the Recog nition of Wade Hampton to Secure Peace and Prosperity. In the National Republican of tho 12th inst we find tho following letter, which sxplains itself: WASHIKQTOK, March 10,1877.. i 7b the Editor of the National Republican : Bm-My attention has been directed to articles in the press placing mo in the position whereby it may bo inferred that t sanction criticisms made upon promi nent Republicans at homo. I desire to date that my recent call upon the Preai lent, in company with other South Caro lina gentlemen, had no reference to the private character or public acts of any Republican In that State, but was im Glied by tho hope that something could done to settle the voxed question of MU dual governments ; nor dla I have a j <j thought of acting in the premises until a 11 majority of tho Circuit Judges bad do- J8 lided in favor of General Hampton's ? ?laira, and all of Ute Supremo Judges had c lad me to infer that they would so decide J by having frequently declared that he waa * elected Governor ; indeed, there was no * apparent remedy for alleged frauda that t were charged in the election, aa it had * passed beyond the power of the politi- r ciaos, and had become purely a judicial i question. c I waa satisfied that the prolongation " of tho contest against tho inevitable re . ' siut would be to bring financial ruin 1 upon the whole State, and as a Rcpubli- 1 can, co man in South Carolina was more * anxious for tho success of Republican 1 principles than myself, and yat X am not willing to sacrifice everything in an ex- \ p?riment that must reoult disastrously/ J If the party bas met with reverses there, j it would hardly be justifiable, I appro- 1 heno, to enennce the material interests ' ?? a commmweaUh in tho vain effort to - retrieve what was lost in a campaign that I cannot be recalled. The Chief Justico \ of the State having recently deceased, it J may bo regarded doubtful as to what his decision would have been, but by ovory lair deduction we have the right to as sume that when be made hia requisition J upon General Hampton for '..? salary, 1 which be accepted on tho order of his < Treasurer, Countersigned by Wade Hamp- f ton aa Governor, he intended tn rraur. nize him as Governor of tho State. I may add that Associate Justices Wil lard and Wright also drew their salaries in like manner. It is only too obvious that the decline of the Republican party lu the Southern States since 1870 bas rendered its extinction almost certain under oxhiting-organizations, and what Muyt*M tum hoon Attained in the pas* vi?, unfortunately, achieved by many ?a&i?ces to th oso who were forced Into the leadership. J fully appreciate the rY'j multics encountered in the vexed question of bur State, which .presenta itself os itt threshold of wont bid*, fair to bo a wiso and most beneficent admin istration of our national government. Very respectfully, ?e., RoBEitT IC. SCOTT, - An extra session of Congress will. probably be belt) about the first day of June, IiETTER FROM NEW YORK. Fro? an Occcsloual Correspondent.. j NEW YOUR, March 17th, 1877. i have not written you for tonio time, at M I ?ww have a leisure moment I snnot spend my time more profitable ban to give you tho latest news, which I iavo gathered from trustworthy sources, 'ho snow fell on Friday to thc depth of even iuches, and the changes of tho reathcr in thin metr?poli? may be well aid to be very uncertain. Clear nt early lawn on Friday, il succeeded in gluing :loudy toward midday, und at one o'clock he suow began to fall, continuing all the iftcrnoon and eli night, which for March, lowever, is considered fair weather. To day is "St. Patrick's" day, and very oon we shall hear the rollin? of tho 'ruin and tho shrill notes of the fife, eali ng together our Irish brethren, who, of :ouree, expect to exercise every right of rVmcricau citizenship on thin "St. Put rick's day in the morn." lt is amusing Ai see the servaut girls wearing the favo rite "green" about their necks in the Torin of a bow; however, it is not thc first '.imo, I suppose, that a bow (beau) en circled their necks. They ?re a good md brave set of citizens, nevertheless, ind seem happy to bc able to enjoy tho privilege of celebrating their much be loved Saint's day on American soil. The latest seusution, und a novel one, too, is the great excitement caused by tho reported "cures" effected by the means of "blue glow." It has become a mania. It is particular adapted to the cure of all nervous diseases, and is a per fect cure for "baldheadness." I am ex pecting to take out a patent for "blue glass" hats, that is blue glass ventilators, which will find a ready sale, no doubt, as thc cure for baidheadneu? will stand out as tho most prominent feature of the patent. Tho action of the "blue ray," penetrating thc ventilator, upon ono's "cranium" will, it is believed, (if it does not furnish a superabundance of brains,) be highly productive of some good, be ?ides a sure means of keeping the wearer of this peculiar hat in a healthful and happy condition. Enclosed you will find a "blue glass journal" printed in blue, the contents of which are interesting, as it oxplains, to somo extent, the theory of tho effects of tho "bluo ray." It is said to have a wonderful effect upon vegetable life, and heneo invaluable to tho hus bandman. Ii business is dull in your quiet little tillage-and I understand that you have bad some failures recently, which I re gret to learn-only try tho euro of blue glass; it will create some excitement and, perhaps, as ea? of Sankoy'a songs runs, 'Revive us again." In many places in ,he city, and particularly in Fifth Ave lue, tho glass is suspended before the vindows. Wo would not suppose that his peculiar mania had reached the Capital, yet it appears that it has. There ia? been a proportion made, we leam, by ?entradora from New York, to cover the lomo of the Capitol with blue glass, vhich would bc a good idea, if through ts influenco it would supply the members >f Congress with a little more wisdom, n order that when another Electoral Kommission ?B appointed, some of its nembers will have tho wisdom to eco hat tho number of Democrats is equal he number of Republicans. This bring us now to the play, "Seven ind Eight," which is boing enacted at Tony Pastor's, and which is a complete mrlesque of tho far famed "Eight to ievon." Now, in conclusion, let us ndd bat the sentiment of the people hero is ruly ono of sympathy fo? thc people cf louisiana and South Carolina, and dc nand, with the rest of the country, that dr. Hayes remove tho troops from there l?ate J, thereby giving the most popular iud strongest government thc chance to ustain itself. We all acknowledge the nagnaiiimous Hampton as the legitimate Governor of tho State, and anticipate a peedy recognition by tho general gov rnment of the only man who can con rol the State at this present critical rials, at the same time restoring tho redit of the State snd establishing a irospcrous government. EIGHT TO SEVEN. HALTING JUSTICE.-It is a puzzling ucstion whether Judge Reed, of the /hurlcston Circuit, expects any one to be ?'cased with the snuffling course ho has .limned in the coses brought before him 0 decide tho gubernatorial question. Ll! the other judges except Wiggin. (hom Chamberlain himself pronounced 1 mere leaf on the current, have (grappled iith tho problem, and decided It in ac ordance with their ideas of law. Those rho had not originally entertained it benaelves, promptly accepted tho dc ?sion of tho Supremo Court in the Tilda ionia case. But Judge Reed has pcr IstenUy evaded the issue, until bis wrig ;ling and squirming have mada him an ibiect of general notice, ir as is sur Bawd. Jodee Recd really incliner, towards Chamberlain, for whom, in 1874, Le urned his back upon tho white people of he State, let him evince his preference it once. The people wish to know who ire tho epomiesor law and order; and hoy have less contempt for those who iponly espouse tho wrong than those who ecrctly abet it, yet fear to take a decided tcp, fest it be towards the losing aide. I [f Judge Reed intends to act ss becomes 1 i citizen and a Judge, let him no longer -3sort to evasions, but at onco chock the whisper of suspicion. The decency of tho oity of Charleston ind of the State prevented Whipper from easing Judge Reed out of one of the 3ourtHouso windows last year. It is his reparative duty now to screen tho decen .JT Vt vll.llutWU IIUUI IUD 1IJ3U1U3 ul Bowen and his rabble. If he fears to perform bis dnty, let him resign. He has jxhnusted the patience of the people. Let him define his position at once. W?wAoro Jtewtu -.The New York World, referring to President Hayes' duty in regard to Lou isiana and South Carolina, says: "Gov ernor Hampton, of South Carolina, has told President Hayes plainly at last what ?louth Carolina needs ai nie hands to Moore mats within her borders and to liberate her fettered industries. It is taxing the patience of reasonable people i little too far for a President who holds als seat by virtue of a decision that Con gress cannot go behind the returns of an Electoral board in a Southern State, to tas?me that the Executive has a nght to KO behind tho declarations of a Governor Tn a Southern State. President Hayes bas no moro right or authority to keep troops in tho Statehouse of a sovereign State when the Governor of that State has requested him to withdraw them than he has against or without the request of the Governor of that State to send troops there. Ho is openly and flagrantly, breaking thc laws which he has sworn to support, and it is not croditablo co tho good sense or the spirit of the American people that ho is permitted to do this aa composedly as if he were a Turkish Sul tan or a Russian Emperor."

COLUMBIA, March 21,1877. There is no change in situaion at Co lumbia. Hon. 8. S. Cox (Hun wt) patted through on his way to Aiken on Monday lost. It was reported that he came as Mr. Hoyes' metweuger to Hampton and Chamberlain, but thu pre ved untrue as h< i vitdt was purely personal. Nothing elco of interest for the week past. All attention is now fixed upon Cabi net pi? Goodings. It was tn sesaiou five hours yesterday. There was a prelimi nary examination of amass of documents relating to Louisiana and South Carolina, aud it is believed the * -,o cases will be disposed of together, i nt noiuiug what ever is known as to what was done in the session. Leading Northern popers give each their own speculations and rumors os to the ultimate settlement of the matter in South Carolina and Louisiana, but all differ, and presumably all of their opin ions are worthless. The President and Cabinet are utterly reticent. A New Orleans dispatch yesterday suys that upwards of three hundred ne groes enrolled in Packard's militia yes terday, making a total of five hundred. Tho President has received information of an intention on thu part of Packard to make an aggressive movement. The President is quoted as saying that Pack j ard must have a poor opinio; of the judgment and a worse one cf the firm ness of tho administration if ho contem plates anything of the kind. Two o'clock dispatches says the Rad ! icsls will endeavor to have mattera left to e compromise communion. Nothing I whatever was done in the Cabinet session yesterday to indicate viaws of individual members. It is feared sorao device will be found for breaking the promise of an carly settlement and consequent quiet in tho two disturbed States. Hayes' South ern policy seems to have been a sen timent rather than an active purpose. All speculation is completely baffled. Tho situation in New Orleans is more peaceful to-day. Nicholls* police have arrested a number of Packard's recruit ing officers on -'he charge of treason. It is thought a bloody ccllis?oo, which li ?Vj been feared for two days past, is not now probable. Rumors that the State House in Co lumbia has been lately re-inforced and barricaded are without foundation. '"--.'s unsatisfactory account of affairs fnitn:'.?ly reflects tho situation up to latest advices. C. McK. SOUTH CAROLINA IN WASHINGTON. -Cant. F. W. PawHon. of tho Charles ton News and Courier, lias been Branding some timo in Washington, and makes tho following statement in regard to the rep resentation of the Hampton administra tion at tho capital : " South Carolina is represented in | Washington by Senator Gordon, of Qeor- i gio, Senator M. C. Butler, of South Car- I olina and Judgo T. J. Mackey. Through I these gentlemen, and chiefly through the 1 last named. Governor Hampton commu* I nicates with tho National officials. Judge I Mackey says that he waa spe-c-ially raquea? i ted by Governor Hampton to go tb Wash ington, and that w'ien Gen. Kershaw and Col. Rion left the Capital, Gen. Kershaw | placed him in charge of our affairs. It - is due to Judge Mackey to say that he is j indefatigable and zealous. No man, po- j litically spooking, is so high or so low os j to bo beyond Judge Mackey's notice, and , tho papers ho has prepared aud tho j thousands of epigramatic addresses he ' has delivered have undoubtedly had thoir , effect. I "Senator Gordon, a man of very differ- | ent mould, has modo it the business of \ bis political life to sccuro justice and < peace for South Carolina. We all re- j member that he hastened to Columbia : last fall when the Legislature was about , lo meet, and stood shoulder to shoulder with Hampton and Conner throughout thc whole of tho scries of intellectual combats which followed the exclusion of 1 the Democratic members from the State 1 House. Sinco hin return to Washington ' he has labored just as hard as he labored ? in Columbia, and to bim is largely due the strength of our position. Nearly ' every day no has had interviews with the 1 President or the members of his Cabinet, ' and in the Senate chamber he has been aa efficient as in moro private confer ences. "Senator M. C. Butler bas necessarily been embanastad by the fact that hts seat in the Senate is contested, and could not do as much as if his hands were free. But he has won a host of friends for him self and the State, and has sade an ex cellent impression upon tho President. The apprehension was that Senator But ler would be handicapped by wildly sen sational stories circulated by his oppo nent, Mr. D. T. Corbin ; but the Outrage Mill is apparently out of order, and we do not know any Democrat whom the South Carolina Legislature could have elected who would stand better In Wash ington than Cen.

Tiie four ncgroci-Adam Johnson, Nelson Brown, Lucius Thomas and John Henry Dennis-who murdered Rudolph Hnusman and Frits Portman near this {dace in November last, wem hanged 1?re to-day in tho. yard common to tho Court House and jail, in presence of a crowd of about four tiiousand people of, both races, both sexes and all ages. Tho fifth .criminal, Steve Anderson, waa respi ted for thirty daya by Governor Hamp ton, upon representations made to him that evidence ex.stcd which tended to ?lodify his crime. Tho prisoners havo devoted themselves entirely to religious affaira since their last attempt to escape was frustrated, and their last hou;^ yes terday and to-day were spent in commun ion willi two faithful clergymen of their own race. All having lately professed conversion tho rite of baptism was ad ministered in tho jail yesterday under very peculiar conditions as to Johnson ana Brown, both of whom being fathers of large families born out of wedlock, were required by the attendant ministers to solemnize th .ir marriage with tho mothnr* nf their children prior to bap tism, which ceremony waa duly performed yesterday in tho ceils of tho condemned. Quiet protracted religious services were held in the jail this morning, during which the Sheriff and his deputies per fected the details for the execution upon a fourfold gallows of novel and ingenious construction, to the entertainment and instruction of a somewhat impatient crowd. At eleven o'clock the four pris oners appeared, clad in long white cotton garments, their shreuds in effect, unshod, end preceded by the officers of the law, with th? two ministers, and escorted by six wei', armed militiamen, pert of the battalion of 125 laen drawn up in lino to keep hack the tht 5ng and repel any at tcmp. at a rescue, which waa threatened and feared. TUE DEAD MAItCU. The cortege advanced to the scaffold. The prisoners were chained two and two, and sang a funeral hymn as they marched, which was dismally echoed by tho hys terical cries of many colored women in the crowd. Having ascended the scaffold their manacles were loosened, and each maa was placed in position on the trap, and under the fatal loops, which swayed to and fro about their heads. The huge engine of death was twenty-four feet long and sixteen feet high, and upon this grim platform tho ghastly figures of the doomed men and tinao of the Sheriff, his assist ants and the two preachers stood ont in sharp relief against the cloudless sky. The crowd was hushed to silence in che awful presence of death, and then was heard again the trembling tones of the miserable men as thoy sang the hymn, "Come ye that love the Lord !" as lined out by one of the preachers. Following this was the reading of an impressive religious services. Then the pri8onora woro permitted to address the vast throng. WHISKEY, BAD COMPANY AND THE SCAF ? FOLD. Their remarks were brief, but of solemn import. All were to the same general Eurport, that whiskey and bad company ad brought them to their dreadful end. All professed the firmest belief in theil salvation through Jesus Christ Johnson, the ringleader of the gang, betrayed no emotion. Nelson Brown denied participation io the church or house burning, but con fessed as ti the murder of the two Ger mans. He did not, he said, dread death but he hated to die as a murderer. Dennis said he was present at tho mar der, but claimed his hands were clear ol blood. He waa persuaded by Johnson and must suffer this anguish with him. Thomas said he bad been called to thc gospel ministry, and attributed his crime: and shameful death to having neglecter! the call. He confessed, for thc first time that he.had dealt one of the murdoroui blows. This man was most affected o rho four, and laughed and played witl the rope in painful affectation of iudiffer ance. THE LAST SCENE. At tho conclusion of their remark: their arniB and feet were pinioned, al preserving the most stolidity of demean :>r. Johnson then bado farewell to dif feront spectators whom he recognized, thi black caps were adjusted, the Sheri! moak hands with them all, and the at tendants descended from the platform Tho Sheriff followed, and on the last ste] mickly and unexpectedly touched th trigger with his foot Precisely at nooi the thud of falling timbers fell dully oi the ear, and the four ghastly figure dropped suddenly and simultaneously tb length Of their ropes-four feet nrmore md death claimed its prize at the band af justified law. DEAD. Brown and Thomas died instantly their necks o.oken by the fall, Johnso ind Dennis struggled slightly for a fe' moments, tho knots having slipped i each instance, and then ail were stil Ton minutes later the a tte rein jr, phys clan pronounced life extinct Thirl minutes later the bodies were cut don and delivered to their friends for burin McEvoy, the white murderer, was, ? his own request, unchained and permitir, to view the execution from the winde of his cell. qvr.ru THEOLOGY, There ia a touch of horrible humor : the fact that one of the colored ministe seriously objected to Anderson's repricv on the ground that having been converti in his extremity he was now sure heaven and ohonld be executed before 1 could possibly chango his mind. THEIR CRDtE. A long Hat of capital crimes was e plated by the death of these four cnlpr to-day at the hands of that law they h so fearlessly defied. Ita story, aa d?riv from their own confessions, shows wi what remorseless deliberation tho mi dorera planned their deeds of horror, pt ticularly that for which they were length convicted and executed. Of tl tragic occurrence the following is t record. On the morning of Novcml 3rd of lost year the community, ot Ala v?s shocked at the tidings that a tri] murder had been committed the pr?vit night at a spot about five miles fn town. Two estimable German dita had been murdered, their money, vail bles and other property stolen and th home, with the bodies left lying in burned down for tho purpc e of cooee lng the crime.

John Henry Dennis, Lucius Thomas and Solomon (tanti were present, aiding and abetting, and ?bitt Cupid Holmes was an accessory before the fact. THE CULPBtTS. It is worthy of notice that tbe ring leader, i*dam Johnson, had al one timo been a minister of thc aoepel. It is still more notable that four jf the murderers, at tho time of tho m?rier, were members of the militia company at this place und that one was an officer of the company. They carried their fjtate rifles with them on tie midnight foj ays in which thoy wore engaged, and vith these arms their deeds of blood were committed in every instance. From their confession it appears that Adam Johnson on the night of the crime mustered together four of his men-to-wit : Steve Anderson, Ne' sou Brown, John Heury Dennis and Lu cius Thomas, all negroes and all thor oughly armed. On ^their way to the house of their intended victims lucy fre quently stopped to inflame themselves with drink, with which they had amply provided themselves, and Johnson at one or two such stoppages, compelled them to mingle guupowuer with the liquor for the purpose of "making men of them." Just before arriving at their stination the dose of gunpowder and w<. key was again administered in large quantities, and the party disguised themselves by smearing chalk plentifully over their faces. Arrived at the house, they crept with stealthy steps to the door and saw through a crock that the young man was sitting up alone and was reading. They hailed at once, aud t' bis inquiry, "Who's there?" they rcpucd by saying, "Io Palmer herc?" [Palmer is the notorious politician, now resident here, who recently occupied Mr. Beecher's pulpit iu Brooklyn for ouo service.] The young man said "No," and came to the door in obedience to an imperative command to open it, in order to allow bis visitors to satisfy their pretended doubts by a personal inspection of the premises. With singular want of prudenco the ?ou og man opened the door, and tho and at once crowded in and demanded a light to be brought. The young man complied, adding a request that they "would not disturb the old man" (Haus mann). Having thus ascertained tho fact of his presence also, they forced the young man into the room occupied by his partner, and, closing the door, kept both locked in and guarded while they proceeded to plunder the house of every article of value they could find. This work completed they were brought i t at the point of the bayonet and ordered to give up their money. They at once sur rendered all they had, amounting to a few dollars only, together with a check for a largo amount, which their captors had the cunning to destroy on the spot. Adara Johnson then sent one of his men into the yard for an axe which had been left outside. The younger prisoner in quired what they intended to do with it, and was met with the cool reply : "YOU WILL SEE 1" As soon as the messenger returned with the axe. Adnm directed two of his men to hold Portmann between them, with his face turned from him (Adam). Portmann resisted and undertook to loos behind him. when Adam struck him heavily on the back of the head, felling him to tho floor. The old man, then foi tho il rat tiir.c apparently understanding the character ol the scoundrels with whom he had to do, began to straggle violently, when he, too, was strickeri from behind, and fell bleeding across the body of his hapless companion. The five then set fire to tho bed, and to different portions of the dwelling, and went oui together, laughing, >>.s ono of thora de clares. Hearing groans proceeding from the now burning room, one or two of the men returned, and finding the old mac still alive, they repented their murderout blows upon tho heads ol both victims un til assured that life was utterly extinct The assassins' booty aggregated some ar ticles of clothing, and, in tho words ol one of the gang, about thirty-five 01 forty cents apiece ! Finding the country "too hot to hole them" after this affair tho whole gang fled. One or .two were captured be fon they could leave the county, arid other: were tracked to different portions of thc State, where they were soon apprehend ed, to tho number of five, and re Mini cd tc the jail at this place ta await trial. A jury of their own choosing, consisting o one white man and eleven negroes, con victed them upon their own contesaioi and they were sentenced to death, whicl sentence was carried into effect to-day os stated above. WHILE IN PRISON and awaiting their doom your corrcspon dent visited them for tho purposo ot as certaining the state of their minds ii view of approaching death. After om or two unsuccessful attempts to escap they had settled down into that state o apathetic resignation which is n strikini feature in the case of all negroes in thci woful condition. All professed to hav "made their peace with their Josus," am declared themselves ready tv go. One o two spoke feelingly of their families, am expressed some concern as to the dispc sition of their bodies after the law ha worked its.wUL- They had been ker separated from each other and heavii ironed during the latter part.qf their im prlsonment, and this treatment, togcthe with the rough and scanty fore wit which alone they wero supplied, wei very for, indeed, toward breaking ?i wild, fierce spirits which for so long time kept an entire county in terror bot by day and night.

Chamberlain and Packard will yield to thc suggestions of those who claim to be the heat friends of the Republican party of tho country, and of the persons direct ly in qncBtinn. The pressuro )* very strong to givo thom a few day?' grace, aud it is now possible that Federal sup port will not bo withdrawn until after Friday's Cabinet.

Grummett's son and a negro were killed by the flying timber. The two ladies and a number of children in the house were caught under the roof, but all wero rescued. Houses on several other plan tations were demolished, but there was no other loss of lifo.
