QnAmw gtntiWpmcit. E. 13. MURRAY, Editor. THURSDAY MORNING, DEC. 10. 1880. TERMS : ONE YEAR.?1.30. SIX MONTHS. 70. TKOVIHJ? IN I RICI,AN I). Ssa Ireland in again threatened with revo lution. The criftie is very grave, and a conflict between thc Land League and thc Imperial Government may occur nt any time. England has ordered three regimeuts of thc regular army to the country, and with tho excited and in flamed feelings of tho Irish tenants against the landed proprietors a conflict is not unlikely. A number of thc agents of the landowners have already been murdered, and the determination and boldness of thc leaders of thc Ix'uguc incienso with the thrents of the English government to use the army in their subjugation. Thc League lins its gov ernment nnd courts, and these arc very popular willi the people, and yet they cannot occupy the place of Ibo govern ment and courts established by the Brit ish government. Ireland evidently de sires home-rule, but England does not intend that it shall bc hud, and unless Ireland wan able, which ?he is not, to obtain it by the sword, it is not likely to be realized for years to come. That thc Irish people have buffered and arc now enduring great oppression from thc unjust and oppressive acts of the Imperial gov ernment is undeniable. Hut how id this oppression to bc removed ? It is the oppression of the ttrony of thc tocal; ?n? every effort at forcible resistance will only increase the heavy burdens already heaped upon the weaker party. How ever strong mey bo our sympathies with thc people of Ireland in their demand ul the English government for reformation, we do not sec any benefit to be derived by them from tho present attitude of their leader.-; towards the government. The English press admit that remedial legisla tion is necessary for Ireland, but thnt un der existing circumstances it is not to bc thought of, ns it would bo offering a bribe to the resistance of lawful author ity, and thc sentiment of thc government nt present is evidently that coercion should bc resorted to. Ireland has nothing for which to hope from n conflict with thc British government, and it is to be hoped that the leaders of tho League will eo moderate their course thnt a conflict of arms will not bc precipitated, and thnt the country will hot bo again subjected to thc dire calamities which similar at tempts in .tho pnst have brought upon the people. THE RAILROAD TAX. Below bel publish directions given by thc Comptroller-General to the County Auditor and Treasurer of Anderson County, directing the Treasurer to col lect tho tax ievicd for the Atlantic and French Brond Valley Railroad, inclut! ing thc penalty, without any rrgnrd to the card published by Col. Rowen, the President of thc Road, remitting under the direction of thc Board of Directors ol the road, tho penalty until thc 31st in stant. This direction applies with equal force to thc collection of the tax and pen alty for thc .Havannah Valley Railroad.

J Thoma* J. Webb, Esq., Auditor of Anderson Count]/, Anderson, ?j. C. : Sin-In response to your fuvor of Dib inst., I have tho honor to sny : that the Railroad tax alluded lo ls collected by the County Treasurer under tho direction and control of the Comptrollcr-Goneral, under thc same provisions (ind nt the snir.o time that the usnnl Stop mid County taxes arc collected. The time having bren extended to thc 15th of November, by Circular No. 20, Series 2, dated October 23rd, no further limo will be granted ; consequently defaulting payers of the ltailrond tux must bc dealt with in thc saino manner as oilier delimiters. The caril published by Mr. .Mowen does not control the tax officers of the State. You will, therefore, instruct tho County Treasurer to proceed as usual in tho matter of tho collection of said tax. Very respectfully, JAMES O. COIT, Comp. Gen'l 8. C., per Winthrop Williams. There aro very few persons in tho State but who will consent that the conduct of the citizens of Clarendon County in hangiug tho fiends who BO brutally murdered Mrs. Kennedy, a full account of which is published elsewhere, was altogether just.

Tb the Editor of Thc News and Courier : .Tho smoko of battle has passed away and we can ace now where we Bland. We can see the causes ?>hich ltd to our defeat. It is easy to find fault, and the unsuccessful aro too much given to looking for scapegoats. While this spirit is not to be fostered, still it ls tho part of wisdom to recognize mistakes io that their recurrence may ho avoided, and those who moke blunders nhould not 'ne offended if kindly reminded of their effect. The people of tho South have a more imme diate interest in a proper administration ol Federal affairs than wo of tho North. Tous Federal politics is something of a theory. Opon you the theory ls putin practice. The effect ol political heresy will no doubt be felt after while by the North, but not till you of the South have first suffered. These Consid erations should teach your politician-can ? ion.and your people should demand of them '.bat they bc cither silent or circumspect. Phe Northern peoplo have not yet been able 0 understand that, aside from any love you tiay have for the Union, your surroundings ?nake it an impartial and absolute necessity hat under alt circumstances you must be . 'oyal to tho Dillon and oppose civil strife nth all your power. If they could undcr tnnd this no more would ho beard of a 'Solid South." It never will be understood s long as your representativo men talk like .bombs and Hampton have lately done, una ere not rebuked hy the press., Perhaps the late terrible defeat of tho Jeniocratle party cannot bo properly attrib ted 'o any one cause.

Thin seeks to extend the provisions of the allowing thc funding <>f auch Consolidated l>omls ul before and uftcr thc war as have not yet been funded. Bill to extend thu provisions of thc Act lo provide arlifivi>d limbs fur Ibu Confede rate soldiers ol' the Statu and lo I bose maimed soldiers of tho State who fought with troops of other States. About a hulf-dozeti bills and joint reso lutions have been introduced ill the House during the present session looking to the prohibition of tb . sale of intoxicating drinks in thc State. Most of them have been too sweeping in their provisions, and they have from limo lo lime been reported i.(iou unfavorably and rejected, The ways and means committee to-day reported a substitute for these bills which bas met with general favor, an I which will proba bly pass. This hill provides that every dealer in intoxicating liquor in the Suite shall, in addition to the licenses now paid by bim to the eily, tow ri or county in W ll ich lu is located, [tay II license of $lo<) to the State, the proceeds of which are to defray the general expenses of the State govern ment. This bill applies equally to ail liquor dealers, and ii is thought will al Ic.isi have thu elfect of curtailing the num ber ol groggeries that are set nj? ut almost every crossroad in the conntiy. Mull li quors are not included in the provisions of thc bill. The message of the Governor relating to the salary of the railroad commissioner, which is referred lo in the Senate report, was received und referred to the wayo anil moans committee! The (irs?, matter nf interest considered on the Culendar was the grnrral appropriation hill, which bad been made I be special order for the day. Mr. Murray moved to amend thc first Section of the bill so as to mal ? the salaries of the State olticers and their clerks coin cide with the amounts named in the Act to lix the salary of certain otllcers adopted by the lir.st Democratic Legislature in 1877. Ile did not think that the committee of ways and means had it right >o depart Iront this statute which was, in bis opinion, still of force. Tho amount proj>osod#to be cut I off by Mr. Murray was $225 a year from thc salary of the Governor's private secretary, und amounts ranging from $100 t,, hom the salaries of all the State otllcers ami their clerks. Mr. Johnstone, the chairman ol the com mittee of ways and means, stated that tin committee bad carefully considered thin question. While the committee was ex tremely anxious for all reductions thal could be made, yet he tlid not think il comported with thc dignity of the Stale U keep brr public otllcers on niggardly sala ries. Tip'" should, in his opinion, be libe rally provided for. .Nlr. Murray's amendment was then actei upon and carried by a vote of (?1 to 45. Mr. Haskell moved fora reconsidornlioi of the vote just taken. He hoped that tin House would think carefully what it wa doing. To get clliciunt men living salarie must be paid. Millions of dollars pas yearly through the hands of these ulHcets and it was absolutely necessary to scour accuracy in tho work. Mr. Murray thought the amounts pro posed were abundantly sutlicicnt. ll thought it was good pay, and he knew thu these otllcers would not leave because thei salaries were reduced. The members ti the Legislature were the trustees of tb people, and it was their duty to make u gootl contracts with their publie servants u possible. Speeches pro and con were innilc by ?ev eral members, among them Mr. Simpsor who said that no one in the House hud trie harder than himself to economize in every thing, but be considered n reduction of th salaries below the ligures given for the Itu three years would be false economy. Then ollicers bad proved ellleieut and llieyshoul be paid fuir living salaries. .Mr. Crawford said il was a sad *i"ht t stand in tho midst ol' a deliberative body t men of intelligence lo see oueof tbebigbe: lights intellectually in the budy playing th trick ol' the demagogue and trying lo stn the poor government clerks of the miscrabl pittance which the Statu now gives then lt was a reflection upon the House and shanie on the mover ol' the umendmei when men caillO to the Legislature au sought popular notoriety by depriving pot and holiest men ol' the means of living. Mr. Murray replied to Mr. Crawford's n murks that lie would always continue t advocate such measures as he believed to I right, and lie would not lie frightened froi doing so by being called a demagogue II thought lt beneath the dignity ol' a rep; sentativo of the people to attempt to can measures by casting reflections upon tho who oppose them. Ho continued to spec in fuvor of Iiis amendment, and usked wi should not all the clerks receive the sam Why should the clerk of the Adjutant ai Inspector "encrai and|thc clerk of the Sta Superintendent of Education be paid lc than the others? The debate wits continued at length, which a number of gentlemen participate among them Mr. H?cker, who opposi cutting down the salaries ol' the clerks. The motion to reconsider was final adopted by a vote of 'Iii to 45, and thu in lion to reduce the salaries rejected. At the night session of the House t consideration of the appropriation bill w resumed. An appropriation of $18,000 w added to the bill for the extension oft building of the Lunatic Asylum. A motion by Mr. Murray to cut dov the Penitentiary appropriation was defeat* Previous to adjournment Mr. Cniwfo took occasion to withdraw thc Lingua used with reference to Mr. Murray in t morning debate. The legislative appropriation bill was i ported by the ways and means cominltl to night. Thc total appropriations um this bead amount to $11,990.50. Saturday, lilli December. SENATE.

THE APrnorniATio? BILI., which was undei discussion at th? journnientof tho House last night, taken up and sumo amendments ol nor importance woro made. .\n amendment was offered to cut t tho appropriation or fio.t 00 for tho port ortho military to $.1,(00. Mr. Murray, of Anderson, hoped the amendment would not naas. 1 Stato wanted n militia it most supp? If tlio militia was tn ho abolished it . would ho well for tho liouso to deter- i taino that point once for all. Tho people had Just elected an adjutant and inspec tor general who was U gentleman expe rience as a commander in two wars, and fully competent to determino tho necessi ties of the militia in time of peace or war, anil tho people could rest assured that if not hampered he would make the militia un honor to tho State. Wo expect this ollicor to improve tlie Sh.to militia, and it would ho false economy to cut down this appropriation ami deprive him of tho means of carrying out his plans. After several speeches both fur and aguinst tlio amOiiUUQcnt by other mem bers, it was laid on tho table. Tho only amendment udoptod of any importance was au appropriation of ?2,500 for tho Stato Agricultural Society. The bill thou passed iu second reading. Tho Legislativo appropriation hill was next considered ami passed its second reading with no changes of interest.

Several hills seeking to suppress the sale of cotton in the seed have been in troduced during the session, and three ot to ur ot them have boon killed. Tho com mute?! on agriculture hinting tho public so lient on having a law of this kimi, re ported a hill which they thought would give tho relief sought.

CorrfSjMmdence of the Newt mid Coorie,-. NEW ZION, December 0. In thc absence of a representativo of your paper, and nt the request of many citizens, both black and white, I .send you herewith a full and Into statement of the murder of Mrs. Kennedy, and tito punishment of lier assassins. On Sunday last, the 5th Instant, Mr. Titos. Kennedy, living near Salem, In tending to visit Charleston, went over to his father's houso a nub- after nonn, a abort distance from his own, to ask his mother to stay .with his wife dining Iiis absence. Mr. Kenne dy's wife was formerly Miss Ada Wright, of Darlington, lind only been married about a year and expected soon to pre sent to hor husband tho first pledge of itielr mutual love. She was a young lady only 1? or 20 years of age, intelli gent und iclinod and highly respected by all who knew her. When ber husband left she shut tho door of tho houso and sat by a window to write a letter to lier mother, little dreaming of tho terriblo futo that HO Hoon awaited her. As she sat thom she saw in tho yard Joe Harnes, a colored boy about ld years oh!, who had been om ploy ott by Mr. Kennedy tho previous week, and suspecting no harm she asked him to bring lier au armful of wood. This boy had been induced hy two negroes living near by, Vaneo Brandt anti Iiis Histor Julia, aged respec tively 18 anti 15, to hang urouttd tho premise", and when Mr. Kennedy left tho place glvo a signal to Yanco and Julia who kept themselves concealed in a thicket. This Roupie had heard of Mr. Kennedy's intention tu visit Charleston, nuil thinking thnt ho would have a good deal of money in tho house determined to break in and get it. When Joo turned to go for tho wood lie gave tho signal anti soon met Vance coming into tho yard. Vaneo asked him whore Mrs. Kennedy WUB and went immediately to tho win dow and three times tried to get in and thrco times ho was shoved out by Mrs. Kennedy. Finding ho was determined to gel in sho opened tho front door, ran through tho yard, and was just going through tho gato whoa Vance snatched up a hoe lying in tho yard, overtook her at tho gato and knocked her down. Sho implored mercy and told him sho would give him all tho money shu had if be would only sparc hor life. Ho cursed l.o ? and sr. d, "I'M been waiting to kill you z long limo," and nt that struck her iwo moro blows, in attempting to avert which, it is supposed, her hand was bro ken. Just then Julia carno up willi an other boo and sovered her henri. Whon Mr. Kennedy returned about thrco hours afterwards'he found Iiis wife lying outside thc front gato, mutilated, cold and stiff, her head almost Hovered tn twain. The entire cranium WAS cutoff from ear to car, leaving ibo brains scat tered around on tho ground. A jury of inquest being held, returned a verdict nf''murder in tho highest de gree by unknown hands." Several col ored persons woro arrcstod on Monday ; but no cluo to their guilt hoing obtained, wero promptly released. On Tuesday tho colored boy, Joo Marnes, was arrest ed. Ho showed BO much confusion on being questioned ivs to his whereabouts on Sunday that only a low questions served to bring out Iiis full confession from which tho above account ls taken. V.-.nce and Julia denied having anything to do with it, but tho clothes which they woro un Sunday woro very bloody, with small particles of brains upon them. The monoy and pistol of Mr. K. found in their possessions wero bloody, and on ticing questioned about tho blood upon their clothes, tho woman said sho hud killed a chicken and tho man said he had killed somo partridges. On closo exam ination tho bloody linger prints on tho hoe batidlo corresponded precisely with thoso on tho shawl worn by the woman on tho ill-fated day, which cireutnsUinco had as great weight to convict her us tho te timony of lim boy. As was natuiat tho community be came so on raged and infuriated that a crowd of citizens, numbering between two hundred mid fifty and throe nu* drctl, both v. Into and colored, arter duo d?lib?ration decided to hang tho murder ers to tho nearest treo in sight of tho place where tho murder was committed. After satisfactory examination, which fixod their guilt, ropes wore adjusted to thc nearest treo. a curt was pushed under the tree, and tho prisoners ordered to mount. Just thon Joo Biirnos begged to bo allowed to pray, and commenced by saying ho bud never prayed beforo und never expected to pray again. Nothing was said uy either of tho others, except a groan and ''Liord have mercy" from Vaneo. Handkerchiefs hoing tied over their faces, tho enrt was pushed away, and tho trio was soon dangling in tho air. II. Ir?. O T/'Ol'B ATLANTIC aud NTON4 JL any ?aunt I ty.
