THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 24, 1870.
Hbo', Henry liartzog, ono of the most
practical nod inlluential of tb ) represen
tatives from Barnwell Cour ty, died at
ii is residence, two miles from Hamberg,
on 1 isi Saturday morning, after an Hines*
of tww days. Mr. Hartzog wns a most
excellent gentleman, and bis death will
bc regretted wherever he was known.
Since our last issue about fifty new
cases of yellow fever have been rc|K?rted
in Memphis, and tho disease is now ad
mitted to havo become epidemic there.
Tho citizens ave flocking from the place
in vast numbers, and the prospect is very
gloomy for its future. Death stares
I hose who remain in the fare, while ut
ter financial ruin is .?head for n Ir-rgo
portion of those who flee. There is from
present appearance nothing but gloom
and depopulation uhcad of th's once fair
aud prosperous metropolis.
Tho Gainesville Eagle very pertinently
propounds the question: "Can a mnn
with money nnd friends be hung in
Georgia ?" Our contemporary answers
this in tho negative, and we fear the
samo answer would be correct if tho ter
ritory was extended to embraco this
whole country. It is becoming frightful
to sec how crime can bc committed with
immunity hy those who aro willing to
spend a little money in securing an ac
quittal. Scarcely ft day passes that we
do not meet with instances of fearful
murders in different parts of tho United
States, and yet hangings aro^very rare
occurrences. It is time for tho officers
of the btw, from Judges down, to do
their duty. Juries should convict where
guilt is proven, and then a certain bang
ing should follow tho verdict.
Judgo David C. Humphreys, if thc
Supremo C?tii t of the District of Co
lumbia, died at his residence in Fairfax
County, Virginia, on Saturday, the 12th
inst. Ho was tho Judgo who ruled in
tho Patterson caso that a United States
Senator wns free from arrest during tho
session of Congress upon charges of
bribery and corruption. This decision
was purely partisan, and tho memory of
tho departed Judge will pa? lo oblivion
beneath thc cloud of contempt which ho
raised for himself Lhroughout tho whole
country. It- is not thought that Mr.
Hayes, with all of his acquaintance with
the corrupt politicians of the day, will
be ablo to nominate n worse man os his
successor, and if ho docs Congress will
most certainly not confirm him.
A dispatch to tho Neuis and Courier,
of tho 17th instant, says that important
changes aro to bc made in tho Greenville
and Columbia Railroad very soon, nnd,
upon inquiry, we l4ear that tho chango
will consist in the appointment of a now
Superintendent to tako the placo of Col.
Dodamcad, who has resigned and leaves
tho road tho first of August. We hope
this report is incorrect, for Col. Dodamcad
has proven, in every respect, eminently
qualified for tho post he has held for tho
past five or six yeors, and we would dis
like to seo him retire. Wo may, how
ever, rest assured that a good man will
be substituted in his placo if he should
retiro, for General Connor will havo the
selection of the new Superintendent.
Whether any other changes aro to be
mudo, report dot not answer.
A telegram from Albany, New York,
on last Saturday, says : " An explosion
took placo on tho steamer Drew last
night while on tho way from Now York
to this city. Several cans of powder had
been placed in tho state-room, and a fuse
attached to each. Tho state-room was
shattered, and the wood work in tho
vicinity of the explosion was badly dam
aged, but fortunately no person was in
jured. Tho lighti? wero all extinguished
nnd thero was the wildest excitement for
a few moments. A man who gavo his
name as Henry Evans was arrested on
board this morning on suspicion of being
tho person who caused tho explosion."
It really docs look like all of tho law
lessness of tho country does not resido
South of Mason and Dixon's line. The
Times or Tribune either might preach a
sermon over this attempt to destroy sev
eral hundred persons, simply for the fun
of an explosion, which would be as In- j
icrcstjng and powerful as any of their j
discourse? on tho "bloody shirt" horrors
of tho South. Tho only trouble, wo
presumo, is that tho crimes committed in
their midst are frequently so heinous that
it -..ould bo impossible to do tho subject
justice, and therefore they do not under
take the hopeless task, but ply thoir lec
tures to the South over cases which they
feel equal to the task of properly com
menting upon.
The Washington Post shows how much
it knows of ?lie agricultural problem in
the following paragraph, which it offers
in tho way of a consolatory prophecy :
It should reconcile the average reader
to tho intense heat which we aro now
enduring to rencct that, wimont it there
could bo no torn. A bot Summer means
nu abundant torn crop, and plenty of
that cereal will give tbe cocotry cheap
whisky. This should be satisfying to tho
natural man.
Our contemporary should romcuber
that heat is only one of tho essen
tials for a good crop year, and that a
sufficient quantity of moisture is equally
necessary. Therefore, as there have
bees very long *ud widespread drnnght*
throughout the core-growing section, it
is likely to result in a short crop, and
tho fact that heat is one of the elements
of production, does not mako us rejoice
at its presence when the other necessary
clcmeuts aro absept. Our contemporary
bad as well go to a hungry man who has
plenty of fire but no dough, and con
. grat?late hint upon the fine bread ho will
have. Heat is ono of the necessary cl?
monts in making good bread, but it does
not amount to mnch without the dough
to bake ; so it is that heat will not make
much corn without it is accompanied by
a good amount of moisture.

from lion. J. C. Robertson, brother of

Tho Southern vote in the National Ito*
publican Nominating Convention is still
a source of discord among the ?talw?rts.
Thia vot- ia thc balance of power in tlie
party, and, if admitted into thc Conven
tion, will control tlie nomination. There
is a proportion to refuse admission to
the Southern delegations, and this pro
gramme ls favored by tunny prominent
men in the party, hut is opposed hy the
leaders who expect to utilize this vote to
assist in their nomination. Daine ob
tained thc bulk of the (Southern vote in
1870, and calculates that he will be able
to ho!d it in 1880. John Sherman thinks
that he will be able to carry thc South
ern vote in the Convention of 1880, by
giving his Treasury appointments to the
most disreputable elementa of tho South
ern Republican parly. Tho friends nf
Grant nre of the opinion that he will be
able lo carry the Southern delegations,
because the negroes look upon him as the
embodiment of thc party which Ret them
free. Thus the elemente of the national
Republican party areuot altogether har
monious, Thc ped ty in favor of admit
ting Hie Southern delegations, in our
opinion, will prove strongest, and after
the nomination is made the members of
the pnrty in the North and West will be
very much disgusted to ceo that the nom
ination has boon dictated by the repr?
sentatives of the Ignorant and corrupt
portion of tho pnrty. and that loo the
portion which will hot give a single vote
in the idoctoral collego. The Radicals
have been making a great deal of noise
against thc solid South, and well may
they give expression to their alarm. Thc
solid South presents thc handwriting upon
tho wnll lo Republicanism. It announces
thc death of thc party of bato and usurp
ation. Henceforth the Democracy will
. bc gainers hy thc solid South. It will
gain votes on the positive side of the
problem, and on thc negativo ?ide will
injure thc Republicans by producing dis
affection Within their ranks.
A special dispatch to tho New York
Sun from Washington, under dato ol
July 18, makes thc following statement
which interests the people of South Car
olina, for we have- ho doubt that there
is sumo foundation for tho Information
given:
Thero is to be a sweeping change ii
thc Federal officers in >S<>uth Carolina
This change will soon be announced
Certain South Carol mn Republicans hav<
been in this city within thu last few days
representing that South Carolina coule
bc carried for tho Republicans in 1880 ii
caso the right kind ot Federal oflicehold
era aro placed in authority. Those nov
in place aro men who nre timid and luke
wnrtn in their Republicanism, mid havi
not tho requisite backbone to stand u|
against tho tissue-ballot frauds and in
timidntiug processes of tho chivalry
What is needed, these Republicana say
is a class ot men bravo enough to enforci
tho national election in the lace of death
intimidation and personal insult. It i
claimed that tho present Federal office
holders in that State aro either overawct
by tho Democrats who are now in power
or else have formed affiliations with then
thnt destroy their party usefulness.
There ls no doubt that tho Republicai
leaders havo been seriously contempl?t
ing a movement for tho resuscitation o
tho party in this State, but tho abovo nu
nounccinenl ?B no doubt premature, fo
if attempted now it will fail. Tho nev
officers appointed to enrry out the prc
gramme would be rejected by tho Demo
eratic Senate, which would restoro th
present incumbents. Thc ndministrntioi
will most probably not begin this chang
until after tho adjournment of the nex
session.of Congress, when il could calli;
and effectively be carried out, so far a
the changes would go. This contingenc
will iu ul! probability bo avoided by
long session of Congress. This is on
fir?'; consolation. Tho next is that, if i
should tako place, we would t'.il! be nhl
completely to demolish tho remnant c
Republicanism in South Carolina.
Chastine Cox, thc colored man wh
killed Mrs. Hull in New York recently
boa already been tried, convicted of mm
dor, and sentenced tobo hung on the 29t
day of August uext. He is a negro, nu
therefore tho New Yorkers do not hes
tate to have a hanging in hi case. Il
richly deserves it, but then t io point w
want to make is, that tho No'''' .n pct
plo do not mind enforcing tho law who
it is only necessary to hang n negro i
order to do so, but in tho cases of whil
murderers they Beera to be more Bcrtipi
lom?, or at least hangings have abot
"played out" there in the cases of ric
murderers. We would not point out th
peculiarities of thia caso oxcept for th
fact that thc New York Radical pape
placo no limit to tho lies mid abuse thc
heap upon tho South, in consequence i
which wo occasionally like to ?ive ot
contemporaries of that city a li '?nes-*, <
tim way thoy appear to outsiders lil tl
administration of justice. If they wi
attend to their own section and let ou
alone, they will havo a very good ham
full of work. In sentencing the pri
onor Judgo Cowing, amid tho most pr
found silence, said :
Chastine Cox, I would fain belier
that your heart goes not with thc Inuii
depicted upon your countenance dum
tho progress of this trial ; that your coi
duct has in no way indicated your rig!
feeling. Tho jury baa been of your ow
aolection, and they have carefully co
ordered yo'?r ??.???, result of which
that they find you guilty of a horrib
offence which will inflict upon you
most ignominious death. I believe th
von have had a fair and impartial trh
Let me urge upon you not to rest yoi
hopes of escape from tho penalty
death byg,rust in any of tho devices
tho law, but let your time bo apent
preparing for that momentous chnnj
which must inevitably como os the rcsti
of thia trial. You have broken mo
than one law-you ha70 committed bu
glary, you have committed grand larc
ny ana you have committed murder, ai
you are now to pay the penalty of the
crimea. The sentence of the Court
that you bo taken from thia place to tl
prison from whence you came, and thei
on the 29th of August, between t!
hours of y a. m. and 4 p. m., bc taken
thc prison yard, and thero bo hanged 1
the' neck until you are dead, and m
God have mercy upon your soul.
The jury was out sixty-seven minot
which was thought to be a long tin
In explanation of this ono of tho ju
said to a reporter of the Herald that t:
of thc jurymen were at the firat dispos
to bring in a verdict of murder in i
second degree, but after a general oe
vernation which tho jury had aa to t
effect of-the evidence, they voluntar
joined their colleagues in returning
verdict of murder ia tho first degree

How A THIEF WAS KILLED HY J
CONSTABLE.-Fbrkof Edisto, Joly 15.
j Tho wonted serenity of the Fork was i
little disturbed on Friday last by report
current that Cudjoo Huggins, colored
who lived on Mr. A. S. Jennings's plan
talion, was shot and instantly killed bi
Constable William Evans, white.
Tho facts ns established by tho cvi
dence at the coroner's inquest are abou
as follows :
Mr. John Hutton, a white citizen, win
lives in pretty close proximity to ling
gins, some timo ago nail removed fron
or near bis premises a ?dough nud plougl
stock. With an eye ever on tuc alert lo
the stolon property, he finally traced i
to Huggins. Ho nt once instituted pro
ceodings fur the recovery of his propcrt;
and thc arrest of the guilty parties. Oi
last Friday about 10 o'clock a. m., Con
stable Evans accompanied by Mr. Hutt
and Mr. Wash Kcttrell, thc manufactur
cr of the plough, as identifiers, repaire?
on horseback to tho hut of Scipio am
Cudjoo Huggins. The two men wer
found in tho field near thc house at work
Mr. Evans stated thc object of this vis!
and thc char-? ? a^ainr.t them ?*I-?Q '"'sid
joe Huggins became highly incensed, ant!
abusing Mr. Hutto in obsceno and bars
terms, mndo for him and endeavored t
draw him from his saddle. Mr. Hutt
dre . his revolver, but, thinking discre
t?on tho better part of valor, returned i
to its case. At this stage of tho difficul
ty Mr. Evans (constable) commande
tho peaco, but Huggins ignored '.hocon
marni altogether. Mr. Evans th? r. dh
mounted from his horse, and npproachin
Huggins in the rear, touched mm on th
shoulder, saying: "I arrest you in th
name of the State." Huggins then, bv
knock with tho left hand, torced Mr. Li
ans from him, and relinquishing his gras
upon Mr. Hutto, faced about anti coi:
fronted Mr. Evana. Just aa ho faced M
Evana discharged hia pistol, the ball en

lt is known throughout thc State that
owing to th.- great difficulty of collecting <
the t '?downtent subscribed within the last
Ave or aix years, or even the interest on
the liomin given for current expenses, the
Faculty of the University resigned their
several chairs at the clo*'' of the bet ses
sion to enable thc trustees to effect, if
possible, a more substantial organization.
At the annual meeting of the trustees in
Greenville, during the recent Commence
ment week, the "stti lion " wa? thorough
ly discussed, but only initiative steps could
be taken. The board, after holding many
anxious scssioiiH, adjourned to meet again
in Columbia, ou the l?th Instant. The
members in attendance were Messrs. G.
li. Wells, J. C. Smith, W. C. Lindsay,
J. A W. Thomas J. Stout, Win. Thayer,
T. 1*. "lilith ?Hid J. fl . ChC.mbliss; < liber
gentlemen who could not be present gav*
very important counsel in writing. It is
gratifying to be able to stale t?nit tho
measures approved were adopted with
entire unanimity, und afford a prospect
of continued, perhaps of enlarged, use
fulness for this venerable institution.
Thc next session w ill open at thc usual
time, the 15th of September. The facul
ty will consist of three professors and two
tutors. The Itev. Dr. J, C. Furman Was
elected to the chair of English, including
metaphysics and belle lettres; l'rof. C.
H. Judson to thc chair of Mathematics
and general physics, and Prof. D. Town
send Smith to the ci.air of Ancient Lan
guages. Tho tutors ere to bc nominated
by the faculty and appointed by thc ex
ecutive board of the trustees. There will
not be a preparatory department, btu in
connection with each school of the Uni
versity a course of study will be provided
adapte J to the wants of those students
who may not be sufficiently advanced to
luke up strictly collegiate studies. Thus
thc ?tudies of the school of mathematica
may begin willi hitrhor arithmetic and
elementary algebra ; the schcol of Eng
lish with English grammar, history, etc.;
the school ol' languagues with thc Latin
or Greek grammar. Lach professor will
have exclusive control of his own school,
and conduct its studies with tho assist
ance of one or both of the tutors. The
completion of th?' course in any school
will bo rewarded with a diploma and the
degree of graduate in that school.
Free tuition will still be offered to nil
who come, not in tho manner or sense of
a charity, but simply as u return for the
endowment given to the University by
the friends of higher education in thc
Stato. This endowment has been niven,
although so little of it has yet been actu
ally delivered. It was thought by thc
trustees hot long ago that it would bc
nceesary to ask of tfie obligators tho Jc
linguishment of the obligation on me
part of the University to furnish free tui
tion, because the collection of interest
and principal on the bomb; was too slow
to meet current expensen. Hut it wita
finally decided to go on without a change
in this respect, in the hope that all who
have given bonds and who are yet in ar
rears will now more than ever feel tho
importance nf paying up ni rapidly as
possible.
Surely no man who can by any honor
able means obtain the money to pay even
a small part of bis indebtedness to thc
University wi'l neglect longer to do so,
when be sees the determination of tho
trustees of the noble faculty to fulfil at
whatever ?aerifico the contract by which
free iuitiou was pledged. This contract
on the part of each obligator was certain
lv not less binding than on the part of
thc University trustees. What then?
Will any obligator say that the trustees
were deceived when they accepted hi*
bond as good and reliable? Or will he
not rather prove that they did well to
trust him, by immediate payment of somo
portion of his debt ?
Thc number of students next session
will doubless be increased hythe new or
ganization of schools in tho University,
and especially by the opportunity now
afforded for those lo enter who aro not
prepared to begin tho regular collegiate
course. Also, it is expected that an ar
rangement will bo made to furnish any
number of students with excellent board
at a cost not exceeding ten dollars a month.

Attempted Murder in Greenville.
A most brutal attempt waa mado on
night before last by Homo unknown vil
lain to take the life of our esteemed young
townsman, John M. Timmotis, step-son
of Dr. J. W. Norwood. The report of
the cowardly outrage which circulated
yesterday with tho wind, caused much
excitement, and eager inquiry was mado
on every hand for the particulars of tho
adair, and after the welfare of the woun
ded man.
Seeking the most reliable source of in
formation to gather the fccls of tho caso,
wo sought Dr. Norwood, and from him we
gathered the following particulars : Mr.
Thunums is a member of the Greenville
Guards, and was in line with tho Compa
ny to meet and receive tho Sumter Guards
from Charleston on day before ytstorday
afternoon. After the reception, and after
the Companies had dispersed, Mr. Tim*
nions went homo about ll o'clock, to pre
pare for a trip to the mountains yesterday,
spending sonic limo in packing his bud
get, and making necessary preparations
tor the trip. About 1 o'clock nc retired to
bed in his room on tho secoud floor. Ho
had been in bcd but a few minutes when
ho beard the tin roof crack on tho up
stairs portico when he took the pains to
see what it meant, and seeing nothing be
retired, leaving the lamp burning. The
tracking on the tin roof was again indis
tinctly heard, but this time Mr. Tim*
mons paid no nttcntion to lt, and was
soon fast asleep. From this timo Mr.
Timmons has no clear recollection of
what happened. At nj?or 2 o'clock Di.
and Mrs. Norwood were aroused by Mr.
Tim mons' appearance down stairs call
ing "Father, Father, como here." Dr.
Norwood sprang from bis bed to find
young Thunums laboring under consider
able mental excitement, ulmost insensi
ble, with a great gash in tho right side
of bis neck and his right arin paralyz
ed. During the excitement that en
sued the would-be murderer mado his
escape down the back steps and through
nu open window.
Mr. Timmons was taken into his
mother's bed room and medical aid sum
moned. Tho servants were hastened up
stairs to Mr. Timmons' room when
Maxcy Timmons, a younger brother
and Barrett Rowland" uko slept. Or
Mr. Timmons' bed was found an axe
with which tho almost fatal blow wal
struck. Mr. Timmons, who was moreoi
less rational yesterday, has vague recol
lections of a 8trugglo with some one lr
tho room, bot nothing is clear to hil
mind. Tho most plaUnahle theory is
that the assassin was secreted, probably
outside of the baluster ' of tho portico
and awaited hin opportunity to destro*
tho lifo of his victim at one fell blow, ir
which he failed, and failing in the firs
at t nm pt, commotion ensued, and in h ii
precarious situation, made a hasty es
cape. Mr. Tiuimons had monoy HDOU
his person, which.was afterwards fount
concealed inside the bosom of his shirt
The object of the thief was doubtle?
robbery, and to make sure of his game
thought with one stroke to accomplis!
his purpoao noiselessly. Near the win
low where tho villain is supposed to have
iiailo lil?! escapC fresh tracks ?vere seen,
nit AA yet no clue lo the perpetrator of
lu* foul deed lias been found.
Mr. Timnions1 condition last night ivas
improved, and his wound is not consider
d dnngcrou.*.-Greenville News July \tith.
