E. B. MURRAY, Editor. THURSDAY MORNING, SEPT. 18,1879. THE SHOOTING OF BRYCE. Even bo respectable jl paper as the New York Herald thus distorts the assas? sination of Alexander Bryce, Jr., in Oconee into a political crime: The results of the shooting of Captain I>i*con in Yazoo county, Mississippi, seetai to be considered by tho South as on tho Whole favorable, for South Carolina has adopted the Yasoo plan and thereby suc? ceeded in ridding the State of a native born Union man. The victim was AlOXander Bryco, of Walhalia, a good citizen and a man of character and reputation, but one Who had long been guilty of the crime of active Republicanism. Carpet-bagger influ? ence South Carolina can afford to laugh at, hut a native Republican is altogether dif? ferent from the insane theorist from the North. The people know him, trust his judgment in other matters, and a fair share of them are likely to accept his political ad? vice. Mr. Bryce was undoubtedly a thorn in the Bourbcn side; bnt the trouble is all over now, for he was assassinated near his own home a week ago. Verdict 6f the jury, "Death at the hands of persons nnkown." Arrests, none; press comments, ditto. Whether tho South Carolina Congressmen will be as reticent as those of Mississippi remains to be seen, but so far the afiair bears very distinctly the Yazoo stamp. The fact is that every right thinking man in the State condemns the killing of Bryce. He was a bad man, it is true, but the manner of bis killing was both mean and cowardly. It was the act of some personal enemy unconnected with politics, and probably of Bryce's political party. The most vigorous efforts are being made to convict and punish the perpetrators of this outrage, and tho family of Bryce themselves have ho idea that politics had any connection with the offense in any way whatever. The Eerald owes it to its reputation for fairness to correct the impression it has created through wrong information. The Democrats of Charleston are get? ting up serious difficulties among them? selves over the simplest questions re? lating to the approaching municipal can? vass, about which a difference of opinion is to be expected, bat over which an ex? hibition of feeling is not justifiable. The trouble grows oat of the discussion as to whether a convention shall be called to decide upon the propriety of a primary election, or whether the executive com? mittee shall order it and prescribe rules for conducting it According to all precedent the convention should be called, bnt if it is not done, and fair rules are prescribed, there is no justification for any lack of harmony in the party, and the people of South Carolina will unqualifiedly condemn the city Democ? racy if they set the precedent of splitting over any such trivial matters. The State expects Charleston in this contest to nominate her ticket fairly, and then to elect it by a handsome majority. Per? sonal questions should not be allowed to enter into the election, and the men who are poshing themselves forward at all hazards should be sternly laid aside to make room for some better and more ac? ceptable candidate. We cannot afford to encourage the independent idea in this State. Wherever it has obtained a foot? ing a Republican triumph has followed, and men who are unwilling to abide the action of the Democratic party, whether it suits their personal choice or not, ought lo be classed as Republicans,'for they are the most dangerous enemies of Democracy in South Carolina, and the most powerful and efficient allies of Re? publicanism. They are usually office hunters or their strikers, and are as unfit for public confidence as they are selfish and unpatriotic. The campaign in Ohio is not progress? ing very promisingly for the Democrats. The force of rings, backed by all the money which is needed to carry their object, is too great for the real party of the people and of the country to make much headway against them by an hon? est canvass. The result next month may prove a surprise by the election of General Ewing, but from present ap? pearances it looks like the Republicans would elect Foster. Senator Thurman has been taking part in the canvass recently, and has been dealing some heavy and well directed blows at the party of greed and ring plunder. In a speech at Co? lumbus a few nights ago, the senator thus defined the issues between the par? ties: It is not fear of secession or of the re establishment of slavery that prompts the Radical leaders to degrade and de? base the States. The cause lies far deep? er than that. It grows out of the long and never-ending efforts of consolidated capital, seeking special privileges by meaus of legislation, privileges that tho mass of people do not enjoy. The hold? er of government bonds desires a strong national government, in the belief that such a government would give greater secniity and value to his bonds. Tho mammoth railroad corporation, running through many States, feels restive under what it considers the annoyances of Stato legislation. It would greatly prefer to State charters or State licenses, a Nation? al charter rendering it independent of the States. The national bank interest, with its two thousand and odd banks, des? tined, if the system continue to be tri? pled or quadrupled in number iu no long period of time, looks with complacency on the legislation of Congress that has destroyed the banking institutions of the States, and given to the national system a monopoly of the issue and profits of bank paper money. The high tariff pro? tectionists and the seekers of subsidies alike desire a government of almost un? limited power to gratify their wishes and foster their scheir.cn. In a word, almost or quite every fcrm of concentrated wealth, except real estate, desires by construction or otherwise to add new powers to the already tremendous pow? ers possessed by the national govern? ment. These words are worthy of considera? tion all over the country, and will show to all who will reflect upon them and are not politically blind, the dangers which menace our country at this time. They may not be able to save the State of Ohio to as, bat they should at least be sufficient to convince the Democratic party throughout the Union that we are engaged in a heroic struggle, and that if we fail of success it is worthy of our high? est manhood that we shall only yield to the inevitable after the most persistent and determined struggle. The issue is now squarely presented, and we are be? ginning the fight which is to terminate in the triumph of the principles of free government or to centralize this repub? lic. It is only the Democrats who are fall? ing oat among themselves all over the country, and trying the independent plan. The Republicans have too much discretion to be guilty of any such folly. The split in the Democratic party of New York is a most serious and, we fear, fatal step for us, so far as the prospect for a Democratic President in 1880 is concerned. The State in the last elec? tion went Republican by a clear ma? jority, and everything pointed to a very close and doubtful contest between the two parties this year, had the Democracy remained in tact. There was, however, too much selfishness and greed for office among its leaders for this happy condi? tion of affairs to occur. On the one hand was Ex-Gov. Tilden aspiring to control the State of New York in order to pro? mote his prospects for re-nomination for the Presidency in 1880, by showing that he is the candidate who can carry the State, to demonstrate which he conceived it necessary that his choice, Gov. Robin? son, should be re-nominated. On the other hand, John Kelly, the leader of the Tammany societies, hates Tilden, and desires his own promotion, so that he was unwilling to submit to the nomination of Robinson or any man Tilden might name. With this spirit of rivalry be? tween these two men, who were de? termined to rule or ruin, the convention met In addition to this there was very bitter antagonism towards Governor Rob? inson personally on the part of the Tam? many leaders, because he had repeatedly vetoed their measures and thwarted their plans for the government of New York, and as soon as it was ascertained that Robinson would certainly receive the nomination, the Tammany delegation, headed by John Kelly, bolted and formed a separate convention, whose action has to all appearances destroyed all hope of Democratic success in New York, which will also seal our hopes of victory in the Presidential contest nest year. The re? sult of this convention shows that, with the exception of the Tammany delegates, Gov. Tilden controls the Democratic party of New York, and can count with certainty upon receiving the vote of that State in the convention to nominate the President next year. It has also joined the issue between Tilden and Conkling, and the contest will decide who is master of the political situation in New York. Upon success in this canvass depends the future of these two prominent politi? cians. Success in all probability means promotion to either one of them, while failure means to Gov. Tilden, at least, political death. This being the case, it will induce ilr. Tilden to assume a most active part in the campaign, and may crown the party with success in spite of the adverse appearances. Gov. Robin? son has made a most excellent executive, and the defection of Tammany will only strengthen him in the State of New York, outside of the city, instead of weakening him. The only question is can he gain enough to make up the loss he will sustain in the city. We do not believe he can, and if not, his defeat is certain. If defeated, the country can ascribe to Messrs. Samuel J. Tilden and John Kelly the distinction of being champion marplots, though they may not be able to achieve recognition as distin? guished statesmen and patriots after their exhibition at the Syracuse convention. A SENSATION IN NEW YORK. Tammany BolU tbo Democratic Conven? tion. Syracuse, September 11. The platform of the Democratic State Convention adopted to-day reasserts the principled of popular liberty laid down by the founders of the Republic, holds to the Constitution and the rights of the States under the Constitution, and op? poses the tendency of the Republican farty to centralization and consolidation, t declares that this Republic is a nation to the extent and for the purposes do fined in the Constitution, but that tho Democrats will resist all attempts to transform it into an Empire. It depre? cates the efforts of the Republican man? agers to revive sectional feuds, demands honest elections and an honest count, and says: "Never again by fraud or force shall tho popular will bo set aside to gratify unscrupulous partisans." It condemns tho use of Federal patronage to influence el actions, and expresses shame and sorrow at the disgraceful re? pudiation of all the professions of civil service reform by the Executive and its supporters. It favors gold and silver as the constitutional money of the country, but condemns the speculative methods of the present secretary of the treasury, the favoritism shown by him to partic? ular banks and syndicates, and the ex? travagance permitted in connection with bis refunding schemes. It condemns tho action of the President and the Republi? cans in Congress with regard to the ques? tions debated in the extra session, and declares that the Democrats will continuo to uphold the system of untrammelled suffrage absolutely free from Federal force or supervision. After tho adoption of the platform tho Convention proceeded to make nomina? tions. Samuel .Hand, of Albany, pre? sented the name of Lucius Bobinson, which was greeted with cheers, hooting and hisses. C. W. Brooks, of New York, put in nomination Gen. Henry W. Slo cum. [Great applause.] After speeches against the nomination of Robinson by F. Grady, of New York, and J. McGuire, which were frequently interrupted by hisses and applause, Mr. Cowan, of Al? bany, presented tho name of John C. Ja? cobs, the chairman of the Convention, and asked the secretary to put tho ques? tion of his nomination by acclamation. There was an almost unanimous response of ayes, and long continued cheering, af? ter which the secretary declared Mr. Ja? cobs nominated. Tho latter, however, declined to accept, and decided that tho nomination was informal and irregular. Great confusion and excitement ensued, but at four o'clock, when quiet was res? tored, the roll was called for a vote. Af? ter twenty had voted for Robinson the Tammany delegation withdrew, and the remainder of the Convention nomina? ted Robinson by 243 to 58. the best of the ticket. Syracuse, Septembor 11.?After tho withdrawal of the Tammany delegation, and the nomination took a recess until 7.30 P. M., and upon reassembling com? pleted the ticket as follows: For liouten ant governor, Clarkson N. Potter, of Westchcster; for secretary of State, Al? len C. Beach; for comptroller, Thos. W. Olcott; for State treasurer, James Mack in; for attorney general, A. Shoonmaker, Jr. A resolution was offered to unseat tho Tammany delegates who had bolted, and admit the contesting delegations as the regular representatves of Now York city, but it was tabled. what the bolters did. Syracuse, September 11.?Tbo Tain many delegation hold an Independent meeting at Shakespearo Hall this even? ing. S. G. Courtenay called tho dele? gates to order by nayinu that seventy thousand voters in New York and twen? ty thousand in King's County bad met there to vindicate their manhood, lie spoke vory bitterly of Governor Robin? son, referring to him as tho man "owned by the Great Trickster of Cipher alley." lie said that Robinson had thrown down the gage of battle and tho delegates pres? ent had accepted it. Tho Hon. David Dudley Field was then eloctod president, and made a brief speech, Baying that the Regular Conven? tion had tried to force tho nomination of Governor Robinson down their throats, but it could not bo done. Mr. Dorsbci rner then presonted tho namo of John Kelley as the Tammany candidate for Governor, and recommended tho ap? pointment by the chair of a committee of fifteou with power to take such stops with regard to the remainder of tho tick? et as they should think proper.

"Bequeathed to the Soldiers of the South.? On Tuesday wo learned that General J. B. Hood had his lifo insured for $50,000, and that this amount would coino to his children at onco. Desiring to be perfect? ly assured upon this point, and feeling that if tho report wore true thcro wero no use in collecting funds for tho children, we telegraphed to tho New Oilcans Pica? yune for precise information as their con? dition. Tho following dispatch was re? ceived in answer: Nkw Orleans, September 2.?Gen< ral Hood left absolutely nothing. The bo novolent association, tho army <>f North? ern Virginia and other parties here arc at work preparing to raise a fund for the support of tho children. With his dying breath be bequeathed his children to' tho soldiers of the South. "And with his dying breath ho be? queathed his children to the soldiers of tho South !" The strong man turned in the agonies of dcatli towards his helpless little ones, his groat heart almost broken over their bereavement. His life was spent, and they woro to bo left penniless and alone. There was not even a mother, to whose tender care he could consign them. Their bereavement was absolute There was no strong and helpful govern? ment to which ho could appeal, for his sword had been drawn and his blood spilled in a failing cause. When death had chilled his poor shattered frame, the littlo ones would be helpless indeed. IIow his father's heart must have ached as he thought of their drearj' and deso lato future. But at last, with one of thoso glimpses of hopo that come to lighten death, his face brightened, and he said: "I bequeath my children to the soldiers of tho South !" And consoled at last in having found fathers for his little ones, he died. And shall this precious legacy be dis? regarded ? Poor man I llo gave bis sword to his country. Ho gave tho llower of his lifo to its service. He gave a leg to Georgia. He gave an arm to Virginia. And now, dying in honorable poverty, he gives to his old soldiers all that ho had left?his children ! Will not his sol diors be proud of this trust? Will not their hearts grow tender over tho caro of their littlo ones ? Shall the old hero who died, trusting his darlings to his bestand only friends, have his trust betrayed? Never! These children aro tho children of the soldiers of the South, and the old soldiers will take caro of them. Now there will be five thousand sol? diers, or tho sons of soldiers, who will read this article to-day. Let overy man who reads it sit down and send some? thing to the fund. One dollar from each man will be enough! That will mako a liberal fund. Then let every man who was a soldier?let every man whoso heart went out to tho soldiers?let every man who loves the bravo or pities the helpless ?send at least one dollar to tho fund for General Hood's children ?

Mormomsm in Chester.?One John Pagott, a well digger, lately of North Carolina, but recently of this county, has been practicing polygamy on an exten? sive scale Ajccounts and lottors reach? ing here show him to be altogether a too much marriod man. A few days ago tho sheriff of this county received a letter from W. C. Crain, of Shelby, North Car? olina, giving tho facts in the case. The text of the letter cited that tho said Pagott had about two months ago taken an unlawful fancy to Crain's wifo, and without the fear of society before his eyes, had persuaded her, in violation of tho law and the decaloguo, to leave her lawful husband, and cast her lot with him. Tho naughty couple eloped, and bringing up in York County, wero mar? ried by the Rev. Mr. Douglass, tho man giving his name as Gibson, and the wo? man hers as tho widow Hopper. After entoring into connubial vows tho parties came to Chester County, and have been living horo in immunity until tho receipt of tho letter from Crain caused a warrant to bo issued for the apprehension of tho pair. Trial Justice Lloyd's constable was sent out to make tho arrest, bnt the bird had flown, and taken with him his ill-gotten wife.

A Harvest of Death.?A special dispatch to tho Atlanta Constitution, dated September 7, from Yorkville, Ga., says : For tho past month thoro has been a fear? ful disease raging in Polk, Paulding and Haralson Counties. The physicians aro baffled, and tho peoplo aro dying with unusual rapidity in this famously healthy soction. I have asked several physicians what this disease is, and they all say they do not know. Ono thing is certain?it is fearfully fatal, and seems to continue to spread. Ono very strango circumstance is that it attacks young men alone; but ono old man has yet died. Over fifty young men, in tho full flush of manhood and strength, havo fallen victims to tho tcrriblo disease It appears to be a sort of epidemic typhoid fever, out has several symptoms'differ? ent from thoso of regular typhoid fever. As I write Clarke White is being buried, and I saw his corpse. Ho suffered torri bly, and just before ho died tho blood oozed out of his mouth and ears; his tongue turned very black and swolled terribly. Tho disease is fearfully fatal. I know one prominent physician who had twenty-nine cases, and not ono ro coverod, though all received tho most careful treatment. Tho people hero arc justly terrified at tho ravages of this fear? ful malady. God knows what it is, but it is causing sorrow in many a household and spreading fear throughout the neigh? borhood from which 1 write. Physicians hopo that tho approaching cool weather will check it. Another Suicide in Edme field.? Wo havo another suicido to record this? week?three in a littlo moro than threo weeks, in Hdgefield county. Tho unfor? tunate subjoct this time was Mrs. Char? lotte Haviard wifo of Mr. Z. C.

A MORDKR in Lancaster.?Tho Rock Hill Herald, of tho 11th, says : "It is our painful duty to ehroniclo tho death of Dr. J. J. Horton, of Lancaster County. Ho was killed on last Monday morning by .lames Bennett, a tenant on his planta? tion. This deplorable occurrence, of which wo havo not heard tho particulars, resulted from a disagreement in regard to tho division of somo fodder. Bennett surrendered himself to the sheriff of Lan? caster County and is now in jail. Dr. Horton is said to have been an estiinablo gontlcman, and highly reapoctod in tho community in which ho lived." Particulars of tile Killing of Brjce. Tho following is tlic evidence of Josso F. Cox, concerning tho killing of Alt'*. Bricc, Jr., taken before the Coroner's in? quest, hold on tho 20ili August.' Jesso. P. Cox, being sworn, says! That on lust nigiit (the 2'ith of August, 387!),) deceased was at my house I live about fifty yards from deceased. About one hour" in the night l?o started back homo. I camo to the door with him, when I saw some person In tho road out toward the creek. Could not tell wheth? er thoro was on" or two or more, I called his attention to It. He said we would step down that way and see who it was. As wo started lie said he thought it was his mule that had gotten loose. Wo then started toKothor in that direc? tion to sco If it was tho iniilc. Tito object passed out of our sight behind the hill towards the creek. I got ahead of hitn about fifteen or twenty steps. Deceased was still coming on. As I advanced nocirer tho creek saw two men sta.iding in tho cotton. I went towards tliciri to I see who it was. Deceased wao still coni ! ing on behind me. I advanced to within ten stops of them and asked them who tboy were. They made no reply at that time; thoy both presented their "guns. I asked them what thoy meant. Asked thorn tho second time. They asked mo who I was. I told them who I was. Tho larger ono of the two wanted to know I who that other man was, and pointed in tho direction of the deceased. Told him it was Alex. Bryee. iio then stepped to the other one and handed him a pistol. Seemed to bo a navy size; then returned to his former position. 1 then asked them what was the matter that thoy would not talk. Just as I aiked them that Alex. Bryce started to? wards the lionso in a run, when tho taller one fired his gun at tho deceased, as I took it. Tho other ono then says I will speak and speak now, at the same time ho fired on deceased and started in pur? suit of him. He had to make a circle to get round me and ran up near to de? ceased, I think within six or seven steps, and tired a second time. Think ho was using a doublo barrel shotgun. When bo had fired tho last timo deceased called to mo and says "Como here, Jesso." At that timo he fell on his face and died right away. Both tho men then turned and ran off out of sight. 1 saw no more of them. I don't know that I.know who thoy wero. Thoy wero dressed in dark clothing, with their coats buttoned up to tho chin. Had on dark hats. They had on, as I think, frock coats, and one of them was a rather tall man. Tho otbor was a low, heavy set man. Saw their tracks. Measured tho tracks. Think I would know tho samo tracks again if I were to see them. The tracks camo from the di? rection of Massiah Cobb's and wont back the same way. Deceased never spoko to either of the parties. Distressing Accident.?Last Mon? day a hasty messenger brought to town the sad news that Mr. D. U. Addy, son of Dr. Wm. L. Addy, who lives about six milos from hero, had been terribly cut and mangled by bis cotton gin. Mr. Addy stooped down and reached under the gin to pull away the seed, and bis left arm was caught by tho saws and cut to pieces. Instantly a negro man jerked up tho cap of the gin and this allowed Mr. Addy's head to be pulled into it. One of the saws split his nose, mouth and chin, others his faco and by his be? ing whirled over camo very near cutting his throat. Drs. Seay and Fox amputa? ted tho arm last evening. But before the mangled and suffering man would al? low tho surgeons to tako off bis arm he requestod Rev. J. K. Efird, who was present, to confirm him to the Evangeli? cal Lutheran Church, which was done. Ho bore his sufferings well, and it is confidently hopod that he will got well. Ho has a wife and two littlo children, and was ono of our best and most thor? ough-going famors.?Summit Courier, Sep? tember 11. Gold in Edoefield.?Tho Edgcfield Advertiser of tho 11th says : "Tho eclat which Abbovillehas been enjoj-ing lately is about to bo overshadowed by tlio yel? low glory of Edgefield. Tho old Hollow Hill mine, worked on a small scale somo twonty-fivo years ago by Capt. James Dorn and Dr. M. W. Abney, has again revealed deposits of incalculable rich noss. Messrs. Rufus and Wm. Dorn have boon lately throwing a pick therein, and tho specimens they havo gained far exceed any wo have over seen in tho rough. Thoy visited us on Monday last, and gavo us an interesting account of their woik. The Hollow Hill mine is on tho plantation of Martin Ouzts, Esq., about three miles west of tho Quattle baum-Loud mine, and about four miles south of McKendree'8 Chapol. Tho Messrs. Dorn havo leased this mine from Mr. Ouzts, and will very soon begin reg? ularly organized and practical work. Thoy are confident that tho vein or pocket thoy havo struck is one of unexampled richness. Their specimens are great glit? tering lumps of almost puro gold." ? A dispatch from Havana, dated Sep? tember 14, says that reports havo been received from Santigo do Cuba that tho slaves on tho plantations have demand? ed libertv, and that their masters havo promised to give them freedom if thoy will engage to work three years for wa? ges. Many slaves aro running away, and the local authorities have asked Captain-General Blanco what they shall do. A dispatch from Madrid an? nounces that tho Government will pro? pose to the Cortes that all slaves be given their liberty on July 1st, 1880, on condi? tion of sevon years' obligatory labor with wages paid. ? AJcorrespondcnt of tho Newt and Cou? rier, writing from Black ville, Barn well County, under date of September 13, says that "breadstufls sulliciont for our homo consumption havo been harvested, and with tho present prices for cotton our planters will be in bettor condition than they havo been for years. Tho upland rico and tho pea crop aro both now suf? fering from the present dry spell, but I believe that the planters would prefer to lose a littlo from rico and peas, rathor than havo bad weather set in on their cotton, fields, now white with tho fleecy staple." ? "General, do you think Grant has any dosito to bo President again?" asked a Cincinnati Enquirer reporter of General Sherman. "I am ?uro ho lias not," ro plicd Gen. W. T. "He would like to havo employment, but ho does not want to bo tho President of tho United States. I know him well. Wo correspond, and I know ho wants to get into business so as to bo able to make money. Iio would like to have tho presidency of a railroad I company or something of that sort." ? Wado Hampton tho younger and his brido aro staying at tlio White Sulphur Springs, and are described as tho hand? somest young pair who havo been thero this summer. OBITUARY.
