TUE DARGAS MURDER. WHO FIRED THE "FATAL SHOT. THE ORIGIS OF THE DIFFICULTY. An Authentic Account of thc Dastardly Affair. /' ARREST OF THE MURD F/R E R On Friday raovning Mr. William E. McMi chael, deputy Sheriff of Orangcburg Coun? ty, was informed that Chavcrs, thc man who killed Mr. Dargan at Graham's Cross Roads, on thc Northeastern Railroad, du? ring a disturbance while Reyuohl's Menage? rie was exhibiting at that place on Tues? day night, 18th instant, was in town. Mr. McMichael was at the courthouse when he received the intormation, anti immediately started in pursuit, summoning a posse comi tatus as he hurried on. At the corner,near Tread? well's Hotel, he got the first sight of Cha vers, who was then half a mile from him, near the old graveyard. An exciting race now en Bued, Chavers running towards the river swamp, hotly pursued by the sheriffs party,. who fired seven shots at him. He was at last caught in the swamp up to his neck in water and brought to the courthouse, and thence committed to jail. This information we obtain from the Orangcburg News. The following full and accurate statement of the facts of the murder will be read with great interest : TO TUE EDITOR OT THE NEWS. As so many different accounts are in circu? lation as to thc manner in which Mr. T. J. K. Dargan was murdered at Graham's Cross Roads, on the 18th Instant, I feel it to be my duty, as one present, and as the magistrate who held the inquest over the body, to make a brief statement of the real facts ol'the case: I happened to be in Mr. Holliman's store on that evening, on business. Not many minutes after entering the store, a gentleman present called my attention to the fact that Mr. Dargan was getting into a difficulty on the outside. I immediately stepped out, and found him curs? ing and threatening to shoot some one, it be? ing then about 10 o clock at night. I then pur suaded him back into the store, and he went in with me very quietly. I now gave my at? tention to some other- business, and not many minutes elapsed when I found Mr. Dargan and a gentleman named Hammond, belonging to the menagerie, both being inside the store, were in a dispute, and the former threatening to shoot the latter. I begged them to desist and be quiet, but they, nevertheless, approach? ed the door, as though going out to tight, when Mr. Dargan attempted to push Mr. Ham? mond out, telling him at the same time to go and get his pistol. Mr. Hammond now said he would not be shoved out, and that if he went he would go as a gentleman, and came back into the store. At this moment a color? ed man, attached to the menagerie company, on the outside, called Mr. Hammond and re? quested him to go to the camp. Mr. H. opened the door, and told him to go along and he would come when he got ready. Then, imme? diately afterwards. I heard a'voice, fiist out? side the door, say, "What's thc matter P two or three times; and then, "Let that man put his head out here and I'll kill him." Mr. Dar? gan immediately opened the door and stepped out, saying, "Here I am," and without any weapon, so far a6 could be seen, though he had acted all the evening as If he had been well armed. He had not more than uttered the words, when a pistol, or some other firearm, was fired, and Mr. Dargan came back quickly into the store, and with his handover his heart said to me, "Oh, c: ptain, I am shot." I took immediate hold ol' him, really believing at the time that he was jesting, and that he had fired off a pistol himself, until I saw the signs of blood upon his shirt bosom. I now saw death depicted in his countenance, and he be? gan to fail. Mr. Hammond took hold of him on one side and I upon the other, and we laid him down, and he expired in about two min? utes. I now issued a warrant to a special consta? ble to summon a jury of Inquest. Thejury-as sr m bled in about an hour, and I was careful to select as jurymen those xyno" were not present, leaying-fc?oSB present to be examined as wit? nesses. The examination was concluded about half-past four o'clock in thc morning, and the following was the conclusion of the verdict: "The jury aforesaid, upon then oaths aforesaid, do say that the saul T. J. K Dargan came to his death by a pistol shot, or the shot of some other firearm, in the hands of some person or persons unknown to the jury." This verdict, of course, ended my duties in the matter. If the Jury Had found against any particular party, I should have forthwith issued a warrant for his arrest. The circumstances all pointed directly, and as it seemed to me, incontrovertibly, to a man named Chavers, with whom Mr. Dargan had the first difficulty. These circumstances are too numerous to relate here, but suffice it to sav that several of the showmen who testified, said the voice was like his. Other witnesses said just before firing he remarked, "You are the man that cursed me this evening," and the colored man who came to the door to call Mr. Hammond testified that he saw Chavcrs standing near the door, and that he was thc only man he saw.. The whole affair was certainly most melan? choly and unfortunate; but I will state here, that so far as I know no man connected with the menagane is at all to blame except Cha? vers. He acted most dastardly and cowardly, If he was in fact the man who fired the fatal shot, and that he was the man, I myself have not the least doubt. Mr. Hammond acted through ought the affair as a perfect gentleman. The foreman of the jury examined the body, and Mr. Dargan had no sort of weapon about his person. Eeepictfully, SAM. W. MAURICE. Kingstrce, S. C., January 21. 1870. GEORGIA. The Poland of thc South. A correspondent of the Chronicle and Senti? nel gives a gloomy account of mattere in War? ren County since the return of the Radical sher? iff, Norris, with Federal soldiers to back ii i m. He has arrested two citizens already, and at? tempted lo arrest Captain Hartley, one ol' the editors of the Warrenton Clipper, who made his escape. The citizens arrested are lu iall at Warrenton. Norris is said to te getting warrants ready for the ar? rest of one hundred and fifty other citi? zens charged with complicity in tito killing ot that old leachre, Adkins, and of thc murder of Darden. Norris has a guard around his office all da}', goes to his meals guarded by soldiers and has a guard around his house ail uight. He has asked for cavalry to make arrests, and the Federal officer In command having no cav? alry is Impressing horses to mount his infan? try. A great many people are leaving the county, leaving their famille and property entirely unprotected. The Chronicle says: From accounts received here yesterday front Warrenton. affairs in tnat portion of the sub-district seem to have improved a little since the arrival of Major Kline, thc com? mandant, in thc village on Thursday. Chap Norris, the little tyrant of the countv, has been made to give tip the office in thc courthouse belonging to Colonel E. H. Pottle, from which the latter was forcibly ejected on thc first day ol' the arrival of the military sheriff. The two men. Hill and Ivy, who were ar? rested by Norris' orders on last Sunday night, will, we understand, be released from bonum. - meutby Maj. Kline, either to-day or to-morrow. No proof seems to exist ot' their guilt, and tiley will be allowed to give bail for their ap? pearance lo answer the charge which may be made against them. The citizeus of the county will hold a meet? ing in the courthouse at Warrenton on next Tuesday, the 25th instant, for thc purpose ol' appointing a committee to proceed to Atlanta, wait on General Terry and explain the condi? tion of affairs in the county. TUB MILITARY FARCE. The Military Coard of inquiry appointed by General Terry to investigate the charge of in? eligibility preferred by Bullock against thu fif? teen members of the House ot' Representa? tives, met again in Atlanta on Friday. The Attorney-General read the written charge and specifications against the Hon. W. V. Price, of Lum pk i u County. Tile charge was ineligibility to a seat in the House, and the specifications were that he had been a member of the South Carolina Legisla? ture in 1350 ; had been one of the wardens of the town ot' Greenville, South Carolina, in ls?.S ; and alter the war commenced he again held office in that State, having been a member of the South Carolina Legislature in 1863. Alter hearing Hie testimony, the Attorney General said he would admit that the charge made against Colouel Price, with regard lu his having been a member of the South Carolina Legislature before the war, had not been sus? tained by the testimony, and tue case was herc announced closed. The case against thc Hon. John B. Sorrells, of Walton, was taken up, and he was ex? amined. On Saturday thc commission again met. A relegram in the Constitutionalist, ot Sunday. SAYS* Sorrell's case was called, and thc charge read, that he had held the office of tax collec? tor previous to tho war. The board declared all the cases closed, ex? cept that of Wilcher, who is absent on account of sickness. At 4 o'clock P. M. thc argument of counsel was heard, after which the" board adjourned stiie die. Thc situation ls hopeful, though nothing cer? tain. ORGANIZING. The opinion was expressed in Atlanta on Fri? day by a large majority of thc members of thc Legislature, that when the House of Repre? sentatives meets again on Monday (to-day) it will bo allowed lo "organize at once, without meeting with any further obstruction or inter lerence from Bullock. THE STATE. All thc News in Brief. SERIOUS ACCIDENT. .' / The OrantreburgNews says: "On Saturday last, the pupils of the school of Charles Hullo, Esq., near Beaver Pond P. 0., Lexington Coun? ty, were assembled at their schoolhouse for thc examination at the close of their term. While the merry ?arty were enjoyiag them? selves, tho wind* rose and blew so violently that dancing was suspended. Scarcely had the dancers taken their Beats when a sudden burst of wind swept over the building, and it fell crashing to the earth, crushing beneath the falling timbers its entire occupants, and piling thenfin confusion and dismay, in a promiscu? ous heap. We learn that about thirty persons were injured, some severely, but none fatal 1 y." STABBING AFKAIK. On Monday, two freedmen, named respect? ively Blunt and Dallas, had an altercation in the * Georgetown market, which resulted in Blunt stabbing Dallas, and iullicting rather a serious wound. Blunt has been lodged in jaii to await his trial. We have uot heard of Hie fate of Dallas. BLCE RIDGE RAILROAD. The Oconcc Courier says: "It is now well understood that a better route can bc lound for this road than the old one. The new route commences near thc depot, at this place, and intersects with the original linc eighteen miles west of this point. By this arrangement, the Sturaphousc tunnel and thc two intermediate ones can be avoided. Two miles in distance can be saved by the change, and the cost til" the new route over the completion of the old one is about the same. Wu rejoice in being able to make this statement by authority. It will destroy the prejudice engendered against this enterprise on account ol the assumed imprac? ticability of boring through the Stumphousc tunnel. Besides, we have assurances from more quarters than one, that the road will be completed at an early day. Locally, the pro? posed change of route will throw the track iu or near town, and with it a chang? ol' depot.' SHREDS OF STATE NEWS. Mr. W. W. Shepherd, of Barnwell, is dead. R. P.

E T IWAN GUANOS, SOLUBLE MANURES, AND SULPHURIC A. C IB * Manufactured at Charleston, S. C.,.under the direction of Dr. N. A. PRATT, Chemist, for the Sulphu? ric Acid and Superphosphate Comprfny. SOLUBLE PHOSPHORIC ACID, In the form of SOLUBLE: PHOSPHATE OF LIME, or DISSOLVED BONE PHOSPHATE, Is the basis of all good Fertilizers, and these arc valuable In the ratio of Soluble Phosphoric Acid which is lu them. The Immeuse deposits of Phosphatlc Guanos which were discovered ia 1SC7 lu South Carolina, by Dr. PRATT, consists mainly of Insoluble Phosphate of Lime, which ls made available as a Fertilizer by being ground to powder, and reduced by Sulphuric Acid to such aconditionljas to make its Insolo ble phosphate soluble In water, and thus made capable of being taken up by growing plants. The Insoluble Phosphate found In aDy commercial Fertilizer ls of no more value to thc plant than the original Phosphate rock. The greater the proportion of this Soluble Phosphate which any Fertilizer contains, the less the quantity required per acre, and consequently thc cheapest Fertilizer is that containing thc highest percentage of Soluble Phosphate. Impressed with these truths, the Sulphuric Acid and Superphosphate Company have erected at Charleston tbc first extensive Acid Chambers south of Baltimore, and are able to offer to planters the highest percentage of Soluble Phosphate of Lime known In any market. Their Fertilizers are offered under two forms : 1. ET nv AN No. 1.-Pure Soluble Phosphate, guaranteed to contain twenty-four per cent, of Dis? solved Bone Phosphate of Lime.- $60 per ton; ten per cent, discount for cash.. 2. ETIWAN No. 2.-Peruvian Superphosphate, guaranteed to contain twenty per cent, of Dissolved Bone Phosphate, and one and a half to three per cent, of Ammonia, with a sufficient addition of Pe? ruvian Guano to adapt lt to all Crops. $70 per ton; ten per cent, discount for cash. Wo also offer DISSOLVED BONE,, of high grade, for planters or manufacturers who may desire to? mix into any other compost, and we suggest that this is the best and cheapest method for manufac? turers to transport the Sulphuric Acid contained in the mixture. Will be sold at a fixed rate for eaclfc percentage. WM. C. BEE A CO., Agents, janio mw2mos * No. 14 Adger's Wharf. Shipping. -poR NEW YORK-MERCHANTS' LINE.
