zens.
The Unionville Times contains a full ac?
count of the murder of Mr. Slavens by a baud
of armed negroes, and confirms the state?
ments already made in these columns. The
scenes at Unionville, after the discovery of the
murder and subsequent events, are described
a8:t0ll0WS: - ;
During Sunday, a number of colored men
were arrested, and intense excitement pre-,
vailed among the people. Towards night re
5ort s came in that an attempt would be made
7 the members of the militia companies, to
take the prisoners Irom the jail, and the con?
duct ol many of the colored men gave reason
to believe there was some cause for the report;
consequently a strong guard was placed at tue
jail. About eight o'clock lt was discovered
that a number ol men with guns were congre?
gating at the house of Silas Hawkins, and a
Sossewas sent there to disperse 'them. Oa
nocking at Hawkins's door ihe posse was an?
swered by a volley of musketry lrom within,
severely wounding Mr. Daniel Smith. This
act/sb exasperated the men that they returned
the fire, and wounded two of toe militia inside
ol the house. They then lelt for reinlorce
ments, and our worthy Intendant, Mr. H. L.
Goss, and Colonel I. G. McKisslck, returned
to the house with them, and after much per?
suasion were admitted. Most of the former
inmates had lett, but those remaining were ar?
rested.
The excitement during Monday was as
high as the day before, and the suspicion
that au attack would be made upon the-Jail
grew stronger. About 12 o'clock at night,
Colonel J. L. Yonug's stable, situated abeu!
two squares from tm? jail, and near the heart
ol the town, was set on fire and destroyed,
with a horse and cow anda quantity of
hay. The wind was blowing hard, but for?
tunately towards the only quarter where the
flames could not reach other buildings. Cir?
cumstances occurred during the fire, going lar
to convince every one In town that the fire
was caused for a purpose.' '
On Tuesday morning 'sufficient proot leaked
out to suspect that Alexander Walker, a cap?
tain of a militia, company, was in some way
implicated in the murder of Stevens, and a
warrant was taken out lor his arrest. A depu?
ty constable was placed on the cars to serve lt
upon h'm. ?v?i t was suspected that he and his
friendMobley would moke tren* way to Co?
lumbia. The suspicion was correct, and they
got into the car* at Hill's" Plattorm. The war?
rant W?A.served on Walker just below Fish
Dam. Mobley cpnnselled Walker to resist,,
but the officer warned them against such a
course, and assured Walker that he cam?
there to arrest bim antnre certainly intended
tc do his ditty. Walker wisely surrendered, and
was placed on a"hand-car to be brought to Union.
On their return, on arriving at Hill's Plat?
form. negroei--with their militia' guns, were
seen in every direction, running towards the
railroad, and the party on the hand-ear had to
threaten Walker that If they were attacked,
hi#life was in danger. Walker then told the
negroes not to Ure, as be wished to go to
Union under arresr/but would be with them
the jie"U day^ The negroes (uot less than
thirty) replied that lt he was not out the next
day they would come up after him. Upon be?
ing arrested, Walker asked the Juicer upon
what grounds he was suspected- The oflleqF
told Him that if was Known that he had or?
dered out tlie squad that killed Mr. Stevens.
To which Walker replied, "I did; what of it ?"
Proof can also be produced that June Mebley,
(member of the Legislature^ promised to
meet the murderers at or near where the mur?
der was committed, and bring cartridges!. ~>
In every part of the county armed squads
of militia;are lo be seen, day and night, and it
is dangerous. to traver. In such a state ot
affairs, is It-surprising, nay, is lt not natural, i
that the white peopl - should be excited * '
Up to Wednesday night, no harsh or unkind
trent mer I had been practiced towards the ne?
groes, and every arrest bad; been made by the
authority ot a proper official, and in strict ac?
cordance -wit h law. ?he people are only anx?
ious that the guilty'parlies shall be punish*^
and they have determined to push the matter .
to tim t end. ia. a law ?ul manner. But 60 long
as the mfllria'oostruct th? officers of the law lu
the performance of their duty, by armed resist?
ance, the danger of violence and bloodshed
grows stronger. We see but one hope for the
restoration of peace now, and security for it in
the fa tn re. and that ls, In the State authorities
calling in the militia guns. Ii that is done, all
the disturbances in this section will cease.
There is not Hie least occasion for an armed mi?
litia, particularly when composed of such cow?
ardly, Indiscreet and brutal materials as those
in this Siate. The people are becoming tired
of geeing their laborers strutting around their
premises with guns, and cartridge belts buckl?
ed around their bodies. Scarcely ti week passes
that we do not hear of one of those guns be
injpBrawn upon some citizen, upon the slight?
est provocation, and often without any cause
at all. This state of affairs must be stopped,
or bloody work will ensue; and the people
look to Governor Scott to stop it. Let Gover?
nor Scott counsel with the oldest and most in?
telligent citizens of the State, Instead of listen?
ing to and acting upon the excited and anre>
llable statements ot such iguoramuses as Mbs
ley and a host of others, who have not the
senso to trace an effect back to its true cause,
but, blinded by ignorance and prejudice can
see no wrong to the State in any act that he
and his party may commit against law and
order. . - ? . q
We forbear extending our remarks upon th'is .
infernal deed, but think lt our duty to state I
that the militia in tb? lower part of ihe county
Sarticulacy, are in a very excited condition, .
ut the white people are prepared and deter- I
mined to,.defend themselves, and we hope
more peaceful counsel will prevent the negroes :
from committing any more acts of violence. Jn :
our statement of this horrid murder, we'hnve
been careful not to say anything that would be
likely toincreas? the excitement of the people; ?
but we caunot refrain lrom stating that the
evidence given before the coroner disclosed lt
to be one ot the most merciless, unprovoked
and fiendish murders ever perpetrated. Mr.
Stevens leaves a wife and one child in very ;
riestituta^scum?rances. His kindness o? heart
had, unfortunately, led him to bestow a great
portion of his hard earnings upon many poor
around him. leaving ins own household, by his
sudden death, unprovided for.
THE LYNCHING BUSINESS.
On Wednesday nigltt,iabout twelve..o'clock,
about fifty disguised armed men suddenly ;
came Into.our town aud,demaodadtbe keys of
the jail rrciri* fine 'sheriff, '\vmch was refusel
They then arrested the sheriff and put him
under guard, ana with axes and other .weap?
ons broke into the Jail and took out five of the
prisoners who had been placed there under
Suspicion of being connected with the murder
ol Mr. Stevens. They departed as noiselessly
as they arrived, up the Spartanburg road.
Early the next morning two of the prisoners
were found dead about a mlle from town. For
some time nothing could he beard-of the other
three, but during ihe day they were reported
alive but badly wounded. Two of them were
rearrested after their wounds : had been
dressed. Various reports au afloat as to the
tate of the other, but there ls no doubt that he
is very severely wounded, aud in the hands of
lriends.
As we have often before stated, such acts
meet our most hearty condemnation. They :
are subversive of all law, order and peace, and
every effort should be made to put a stop to
them. We earnestly call on those mysterious
persons who commit such unlawful acts to .
stop. You may suppose you are doing good
to society by ridding it of those who disturb
its peace, oin we can assure you you are en?
dangering the peace, comfori und liberties of
the good and true men, women and children
of the conniy. Not uutil the law fails to pro?

WASHINGTON, January 10.
The vexed question of the St. Domingo an?
nexation was the topic of a long and excited
debate in the House of Represen tat i ves to-day.
The argument -turned on Ambler's amend?
ment, which was, lo effect, that the appoint?
ment of commissioners should not commit
Congress to annexation. The argument turn?
ed upon the point that the amendment was
unnecessary, and that it would cause delay by
sending it back to the Senate, and also give
additional virulence lo the bad blood existing
there. The debate was quite bitter, Butler
and Bingham both opposing rand pleading
against the amendment. Some sharp pas?
sages occurred between Republicans, the most
angry of which was between Garflt-ld and But?
ler. The vote was yeas 106; nays 76.
The joint resolution, ?is amended, was then
passed-yeas 123; nays 63. The Democrats
voted solidly la the negative.
The resolution os amended goes back toVhe?
Senate.
The bill reported by the judiciary committee
fixes the number o? representatives alter the

In the Senate several petitions were present?
ed against the sale of stamped envelopes by
the government, os coming Into injurious com?
petition with private citizens,^ and showing
that thc government supplied these envelopes
at a loss of $135,000 annually.
The judiciary committee presented a bill
authorizing the President to accept the resig?
nation of any federal .Judge, owing to age or
disability, the said judge to receive a iuU sal?
ary during his natural life.
Air. Wilson introduced a bill lor the removal
of political disabilities, which was referred .to

[SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE NI!WS.]
COLUMBIA, Tuesday, January 10.
The General Assembly has been worked up
into quite a ferment on the subject of the up?
country disturbances. Whipper will Introduce
a bill to-morrow to declare martial law in
Union and Sparta burg; also to tax counties
for the expenses of militia Bent to enforce th.?
laws. These bills will certainly pass the
House. The Governor has .taken no action as
yet.
The House met last night in committee of
the whole. Speaker Moses made one of hl>
characteristic harangues. The House meets
again to-night.

[FROM OCR OWN CORRESPONDENT]
COLOMBIA, January 9.
Fire and brimstone seems to have been the
Bpecial order for to-day. Nothing has been
done in the lower house, but to rant about
troops, protection, &c. Nothing definite,
however, has been done. By the end of the
week, I think, some legislation will be accom?
plished in regard to the troubles in Union and'
other counties. Judging from to-day's debate,
It won't be of a conciliatory style at all.
SUBSISTENCE OF PRISONERS.
Mr. Andell, (rom Charleston, ?tas introduced
H?-bili In the House which will worn a change
n the matter of dieting of prisoners in county
jails. Prisoners are dieted in the State peni?
tentiary at 26 cents per capita. By. the pro?
visions o? an act to amend an act defining the
jurisdiction pf county commissioners approved,
March 27tb, 1S70, titty cents per day is allowed
lor Chis -puroo.se. Mr. Andell's bill provides
lor a rate of 35 cents.
GRANTING OF LIQUOR LICENSES.
.Among the numerous bills of Mr. Whitte
more's, which seems to bc in the main cor?
rect, is one, Introduced to-day, which provides
for the granting*of liquor licenses to retailers
of spirituous liquors, and keepers of billiard
tables. The right of granting licenses ls vest?
ed in the county commissioners lu all coses
outside ol chartered cites and villages. 3ip
person can obtain a license unless he tirst pro?
duces a certificate, signed by three responsible
persons, that he bears a good character. Not
less than fifty dollars is to be charged for any
? license, and no license be eranted tor less than
six months. The bill Is "wry similar to the
law. as it how stands, in many of the .States
North. As State licenses have been of late
very rarely collected, If at ari, this bill will add
greatly to the State revenue.
EXAMINATION OP THE. RECORDS OF THE STATE
TREASURER ANO COMPTROLLER-GENERAL.
At the last session of the-General Assembly,
in a sudden freak of honesty," some one intro?
duced a resolution that a ,committee be aft.
pointed to Investigate the affairs of the offices
ul" the comptroller-general and Slat? treasurer.
The resolution was passed, and Hayne, tram
Marion, appointed chairman. The committee
reported to-daya and their report, alt hough not
exhaustive, was somewhat extended as to
time. They reported that they found the re?
cords In the offices well kept, proper vouch?
ers on hand, and the mitutiic of the offices
well attended to, especially complimenting
the comptroller-general's office, <fcc, ?tc, ? lu
whitewash. The-report- iaoLodod-u-suttement
ol the receipts and expenditures of the office
of the treasurer up to October 3,1870. For all
of which no one ls thankful.
APPROPRIATION FOR SCUOOLS IN CUARI.ESTON
COUNTY.
The>ppropriatlon for schools in Charleston
County is sadly deficient, being not nearly suf?
ficient to carry on the schools there. Mr. Cor?
bin to-day Introduced a bill to supply, the defi?
ciency for the year 1870, which is about $21,000.
This will pay the expenses of the schools up to
January 1st, 1871.
FORMATION OF INCORPORATIONS.
Mr. Whittemore amends the oot regulating
the formation of Incorporations Increasing the
capital allowed by section 14, to three millions;
also increasing the amount bf indebtedness
allowed, making It double thu capital stock;
abso repealing section 41, which empowers tiie
General Assembly to amend or repeal the act,
so aa to effect existing corporations, and by.
special acts to amend or dissolve such corpo?
rations.
TENURE OF OFFICE. .
The bill to regulate the confirmation of all
offioers appointed by- the Governor, .was intro?
duced to-day, by Whittemore, under the title
of a bill "to regulate the tenure of certain civil
offices." By its provisions every person hold?
ing any civil office to which he has been, or
inav be appointed, the Senate confirming,
shall be entitled to hold office for the ttme ap?
pointed unless sooner removed by or with the
consent of the Senate, or by the appointment
by and with the consent ot the Senate of a
successor, except os. provides in following
sections:
By section two, during any recess of the
I Senate, the Governor IB empowered, ia his
discretion, to suspend until the next session
ot the Senate, arid to designate some suitable
person subject to be removed at his discretion,
and replaced by another.
It ls made thc duty of thc Governor within
thirty days after the commencement of each
session of the Senate to nominate persons to
?111 all vacancies in office which existed al the
meeting of the Senate! whether temporarily,
tilled or not. If the Senate shall refuse to
confirm the nomination, then the Governor is
to make another. The person whose nomina?
tion the Senate refuses to confirm ls deemed
ineligible until the next meeting ol the Senate.
j DECISIONS OF THE SUPREME COURT.
By an act approved March 23,1869, there
I was" constituted the office of State reporter of
1 the decisions of; the Supreme Court, A salary
of fifteen hundred dollars was attached to thia
office. It was, in tact, aq old office renewed,
Mn. Richardson having filled the position for
many years. .His reports ore well known to
all members of the bar. Mr. William H. Wigu
was appointed to thc position by the judges of
tim Supreme Court. Mr. Wigg has regularly
drawn ?ns salary for two years, but has not
done one iota ol' .work that can oe of benefit
to the lawyers o?-the State. 8erlous incon?
venience has resulted from this lack, of duty,
lawyers being compelled to pay for copies of
decisions, Ac, from the clerk of the court
more, in some cases, than would pay for
dozens of copies of the reports, If properly
compiled and printed. Mr. Wigg has been re?
moved from his office, and the old reporter.
Mr. Richardson, reinstated.
Mr. Corbin, to-day, Introduced a resolution,
which was ut once adopted, instruct i nz the ju?
diciary committee of the senate to "inquire
why these decisions have not been published
as required by law; also, to ascertain what
legislation is necessary to secure their i
prompt publication. Mr. Wigg stales, that suffi- ,
clent-matter to complete a volume of five hun?
dred pages, as required by law, has not been
placed jn his hands, whilst the chief justice ls I
certain that mor? than that amount hus been
handed him. The Legislature shouid, by all
means, see that the matter ls attended to.
A DISCREPANCY.
Mr. Arnim Has been examining the printed
reports of the comptroller-general and Slate
treasurer, and finds thal in the tables printed
in both lhere are certain discrepancies. He
introduced a resolution to-day that a commit?
tee be appointed to compare them with the
manuscript copies, and to ascertain If the mis- .
takes arose from typographical blunders.
THAT SAME "OLD LAND COMMISSION.
When shall wehave an end of it ? Mr. Corbin
proposes to kick the whole thing out of exist?
ence, and if the usual prominence which at?
taches to hlB bills follows the one of which he
?uve notice to-day4 the swindle may go up
at last. He proposes to repeal the act creating
the- land commissioner .and defining his du?
ties. Among the many bills relating to this
subject this is the first that has struck at
root of the .evil.
If the biil becomes a law, the lands will I
come as other >tate lands, and their dispo
will fail into the hands of the State audit
Many and varied will be the ways of windi
up the affairs of the land commission ; bul
has to be done some time, and better D
than never.
AFFAIRS IN UNION*.
But little has been said in the Senate In
Sird to the listurbances In the up-eount
r. Kayne today unsuccessfully endeavoi
to 6tac ; a discussion, and guve notice of a i
oiuUCE authorizing the State auditor to lev
tax o;i Unlon.County for the rapport of tn?
while there. He said that this course was p
vlded for by an act passed at the special e
sion. He did not favor the sending of Uni
Slates, troops there, because the people Uh
to see them come for the i reason that lt
made money out of them. More dlscnssl
will doubtless occur when the resolution is
tmduced.
SUSPENSION OF PROCEEDINGS BY STATE AUDIT
The joint resolution authorizing the Sn
auditor to suspend proceedings In the easel
the State against certain railroads of the Sn
for non-payment of taxes, (they claiming tl
their charters exempted thern from such p
ment,) came up to-day in the Senate, ont
favorable report of the finance committee, a
passed its second reading. Mr. Corbin stat
that lt was very necessary that this r?solut!
should pass, as by the tax law the auditor vi
compelled to levy taxes each year and in:
tute new proceedings. There were cases ni
before the United States Courts which wh
decided would ?ettie the whole maller.
ENFORCEMENT OF THE COLLECTION OF TAXI
There came up belore the Senate, to-day,
Joint resolution ordering the State auditor
enforce the collection of State taxes. Tne i
port of the committee was unfavorable, ns t
resolution Itself amounts to nothing. Sot
talk was had, however, as to the necessity
an efficient move in this direction. Mr. C<
I bin said that something must be done to coi
pel county officers to properly execute th<
duties. At least from $150,000 to $200,000 lt
been lost to the Stale during the last ye
through their neglect Tho result is that t
collection of taxes ls put off some three mont
and thrown way into the middle ol summ
when no money can be collected. He thou?
some penalty should bc attached for neglect
duty.
Swall8 did not see the use of such a resol
tion as this. The law, as lt now stood, (s?
tion 142 of the tax law) provided for a penal
fur remission of duty. The report of the cor
mlttee (unfavorable) was adopted.
REPORT OF THE SINKING FUND COMMISSION.
The sinking fund commission have as y
made no report ot their transactions for ii
past year. A r?solution was introduced to-da
in the House, appointing a joint committee
obtain one. The resolution was opposed I
Smith, O'Connell and Mobley, and its conslde
allon postponed. Smith said the law alreat
provided for such a report, and O'Connell ac
Mobley said a similar resolution had alreat
passed the House.
INSTRUCTING. THE MILITIA.
The House seems to haye gotten into afev<
these last few days! The affairs in Union, tl
Increasing unpopularity of the Governor, au
the chronic desire of the House, to spnnt, tua
.'culminated in discussions of Hie affairs of th
State, ol the nation, and of almost anythih
wild. Byas, to-day, introduced a resolutio
requesting the Governor to ask the Presider
ol'the United Slatefrto send to South Carolin
drill-masters for the militia. As the discus
sion of the resolution occupied by far th
larger portion of the time ot the House, w
may be pardoned in giving it some spac<

but that was not the man who was now Gov
ernor. He had appointed Tom, Dick- ?ni
Harry in order lhat he might be re-elected..
Hurley wanted the officers of the militii
sustained. He wanted to see the first In
stance where the State had been benefited" *bj
United Stales troops. The men who had com
mined outrages in the up-ceunty were jusl
such men as cotiid be lound lu New York anti
Boston to-day.
Whipper followed, and favored tho sendinj
of three thousand militia lrom thc seaboard tc
the upper counties-those who had seen ac?
tual service. He did not favor special officers,
and thought that the gentleman who intro?
duced th? resolution (Byas) sadly needed ac
ofHcer to instruct him, and he thought the
officer would have hard work to lead him tc
the front.
RESOURCES OF THE UP-COUNTRY.
Jones lol lo wed In. an incendiary, speech,
staling that two thousand men, with Winches?
ters, could be pul on horses at any moment in
Spartanburg County, which was as promptly
denied by Smith, the representative lrom that
county.- Jones grew poetical, .and said that
he would dig up the graves of the murdered
men, stand their bodies side by side, and ask
the Governor to view them-he would place
their widows beside them, and see what effect
that would have upon lils Excellency. 1 :
The resolution was postponed until Friday,
when we muy look oui for mure hell-broth,
COMMUTEE OF TU? WHOLE.
Tile House met to-night at seven, ns io com?
mit tee of the whole, lo consider the political
stale of affuirs in Soulh Carolina. The same
old ground was gone over, Whipper aud
Jones, from Georgetown, taking the lime and
making, irrational speeches. From the lan?
guage used, no one could fail to conclude that
they desired a war of races. The committee
sat until a very late hour and theu adjourned.
NEW COMMITTEES.
The speaker to-day announced two new
standing committees. That on religious and
charitable Institutions has for ita chairman
Mr. llagood. from Pickens. He also announc?

J?T DEFENSIVE MEDICATION. -IN?
VESTIGATION is as necessary for the protection
of- the human body against disease when- un?
healthy influences are abroad AS iron armor and
granite casements are for thc protection of chips
and fortresses when assailed by shot and shell.
Hence, it is desirable, wheo those potent enemies
of vitality-damp and cold-pervade the air we
breathe, ta put the system in the- best possible
condition to encounter them. The stomach is thc
organ by which every other organ is nourished
and sustained, and therefore upon Its vigorous
and regular action d?pends, In a great measure,
the capacity of the system to resist the assaults
or the Invisible enemies or health and life; by
which, at this inclement season, lt is surrounded.
HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS, an admirable
tonic and regulating medicine for all seasons^ is
never more needed than in winter, when the tor
pifyiag influence ora chilly atmosphere affects all
the vital functions and renders the body extreme?
ly susceptible. By toning the digestive organs
and the liver and the bowels with this unequalled
vegetable apeclflc, a physical condition is attained
which seems to be proof against all vari?tles or
temperature, and that 13 inlmlcablein the air of
winter. Defensive medication ls a precaution
which should never be neglected whea danger is
present, and therefore a course of the Bitters at
this season, :1s particulariy.deslr.ibic, especially for
the feeble and sickly. As a remedy for bilious?
