BOWEN AND THE COUNTY TREASURY.-In the Columbia Phoeuix o? yesterday we find, the following communication from Representative Bowan: In yonr issue of this morning there appears an article, cop'ed from THE CHARLESTON NEWS, which reads as follows: "Dividing the Spoils-A Lovely Row.-On Saturday lash, the county treasurer reported to the connty commissioners, as by law he ls required do, that be bad twenty thousand dol lars in the treasury subject to their disposition Whereupon, as THE NEWS has-beer informed by a prominent county official, the commis? sioners first .religiously made out their own accounts, and drew what they estimated was due them to the uttermost farthing. Their wives and other relatives in county offices were then also paid up In full, not to mention a check for seven hundred dollars to C. C. Bowen, for services, the nature of which is not stated." The facts of this transaction, Ur. Editor, are simply these: Some time ago, being In need of money, I applied to A. C. Richmond, E-q., clerk*!" the court for Gur?es ion County, for a loan. He not having the money wbicn I re? quired, assigned over to me a claim which he held against the couniy. for services readereii. This claim had been approved by'Judge Gra? ham. For this tbe'oquqty commissioners gave me a check, stating on its face that said check was for services rendered the county by A. C. Richmond, Esq. ; * And now to all those sOre-headed grumblers who hold fat offices. In Charl elton County and wleh to obtain trie wherew?r?i.from the county to lobby through a metropolitan police bili, by which they were tobe made police com? missioners, I will simply Bay, it they have failed' in their undertaking, "Let the galled Jade wince. Our withers are nnwrung." Axd when the time comes for ticir re-elec ion, they will need something more than an in? junction on the county treasurer to keep others out of the places which they now oc? cupy.

B- Fide*-Detalla of the Awful Scene-Uow Ran Balden Re? ceived the Tiding! of His Reprieve The Lust Meeting of the Two Crimi? nals, Sic., ?Sic. Samuel White, the negro man convicted at the last term of the Court of General Sessions of the murder of W. B. Fidea, depot agent at Oakley Station, on the Northeastern Railroad, yesterday paid the penalty of bis crime by for? feiting his life upon the gallows. The horrible spectacle,-as usual, seemed to have a ?trange fascination for the multitude, and the gatea of the jail yard were besieged at an early hour by crowds of men and boys anxious to see the execution. The hanging, however, was, In measure, private, hardly more than a hun? dred persons besides the officials being pres? ent. Admittance could be obtained only by a pass from the sheriff. The weather was dark, damp and cold, and masses of threatening clouds shrouded the face of the sun, throwiog a gloom over the fices of the shivering spec? tators. At the hour or eleven the sheriff ascended the tower, where the felons are confined, and found Sam White In the corridor preparing for his doom. His countenance was of an ashy, sickening hue ; but be listened with at? tention to the words of the Rev. D. J. Qulgley, of ihe Cathedral, who was his religious attend? ant In this terrible hour. Balden had not been informed of the commutation of his sen? tence by the Governor, and, under the impres? sion that he too was going out to be hanged, was brought to While's cell, where the two prisoners confronted each other. Balden here asseverated his Innocence, and repeated that he had nothing whatever to do with the mur? der. Upon bein!? Interrogated as to Balden, White confirmed this statement. As to him? self, White declared that he had not killed Mr. Fldea, bot that the man who committed the crime had escaped. Boing asked who this man was, he replied that he (White) was going to die for the deed, and there was no use in saying any more aboutit. He then asked to be left alone with the priest during his last momenta. The prisoners accordingly were left with the priest, and the sheriff and his officers de? scending to the yard, proceeded with the final preparations. Taere was little to be done. The heavy weight was on the spring, and a strong one*inch rope was passed through the lop piece, and tied securely to the weight. The other eod hung down in the middle, be? tween the posts. A small hempen rope, about a third of an inch in diameter, was quickly iashloned into a running noose, ind fastened to the longer rope. The weight was then let down once to iscertain whether lt would draw the noose io the required height, and having been again replaced, everything awaited the coming of ihe doomed man. In the meantime the neigh? boring piazzas and house tops had become crowded with curious, gazers. Among the spectators was the father-in-law of the mur? dered Fldea, who had come down and wanted .'to see ihe thing done." Those within the enclosure were now marshalled to the right ind lefc ol the gallows, and soon a subdued murmur told that the prisoner was coming. He was attended by the priesr, and was neatly freshed in a white shirt and pair of brown pants. He wore no hat or coat, and his shirt collar was thrown back, revealing his muscular aeck. - He walked with a firmness which belled :he pallor of his face. On arriving at the foot of the gallows he was confronted by Sheriff Mackey, who read the sen'lenee of the jourt, atftd telling him that he was about to je executed lor the crime, asked If he had inytbiog to Fay. White, who had a chew of tobacco In his mouth, cleared his throat, and, Kith a shake of bis head, said he had .nothing." The prisoner now knelt with the priest upon the damp ground, and prayed long ind with mush apparent fervor, the specta? tors standing hushed and with uncovered beads. At the end the wrclched man arose, ind taking another chew of tobacco, stood tyeing with apparent defiance the prepara? tions for his death. While doing this he con? tinually spoke with ihe priest, and at length broke forth into a hymn. He was now Hide to stand directly under the fatal noose, and while his bands and feet were being secured he addressed himself to various persons present, particularly one of the turnkeys, whom he exhorted Lo repent and meet him in heaven, and to whom he also* gave a chew of tobacco, and asked him to pray for the giver while u-ing if. Se then prayed aloud with the priest, and this being ended the sheriff stepped forward and io"j usted a white stockinet cap over the pris? oner's head and face. AB lt came over hts mouth, White asked them to stop until he :ould spit out his chew of tobacco, and having lone so the cap was fitted on. The noose was ;hen tightened gradually around the neck, and he knot adjusted wilh care beneath the left jar. He stool thus for. a moment wheo he sheriff gave the signal. The Jack Ketch give a quick pull to the rope ittached to the iron spring, and while the weight came down with a crash into the ieep hole, the body of White was Jerked vio ently upward, within:a few inches of the :ross-plece of the gallows, and then came lown wilh a heavy thud. The rope tightened md cut into the*h?ck as the body swayed Toin side to sid* in .muscular contortions. Por about three minutes, the strong life strug? gled within the body, and heavy sighs could >e beard. Then thu limbs grew still, and the vldely distended eyes cpufci. be seen beneath he stockinet cap as the? almost burst from he sockets. A small trace of blood was visi? le upon the cap, where the latest breath had eft the mouth, and the motionless 4>ody wung slowly around and faced the vast as? semblage on a neighboring piazza,' BB if in item rebuke of their Idle curiosity. It was Balden'a turn nextv and, all uncon? scious of his reprieve, he was brought out ipon the scene with the body of White dang? ing from the tree before his eyes. His ghast y pallor was terrible to look upon, and the sheriff hastened to read the Governor's pro )lamation. As he read, the prisoner for the drat time began to realize his escape, and the spasmodic movements of his body wer curiouse .0 behold. He began slowly at first to move rom side to side, rising a little; then he rose ilgber and higher by Btarts, as If each beat of bis heart sent him up to the air, until he was lurned away and led reeling back to hhs pris? on house. He will be conveyed to the peni? tentiary as soon aa possible. The body pl.wlfltelhung for thirty minutes^ ?nd was then cjjtSown. Dr. Robert Lebby md the physician ol the Jail, Dr. Bosemoa, then mad? an examination, and, finding life quite extinct, the body was turned over to the coroner to be burled at Potters' Field. The neck had been dislocated, but not broken, Joseph E. Johnson, a colored man, acted os Tack Ketch on the occasion. He was a spe? cial detective on the loree during the official term of Lieutenant Philippy. DETENTION OF STEAMSHIPS.-The steamships South Carolina, Captain Beckett, for New York, and Virginia, Captain Hinckley, lor Philadelphia, were detained yesterday by the heavy northeast blow, and expect to proceed this A. M. Both steamships carry out foll cargoes. ATdXrSEXESTS. The Second Thomas Concert. The weather waa not much better yesterday than on Thursday, but the Academy of Music was filled tact night by as enthusiastic an audi? ence as we have ever -seen In Charleston. Every number In the programme was heartily applauded, but the demands of the audience were only complied with in two instances the concert) for violin by Mr. Llatemann, and Rubensteln's famous caprice, by Miss Krebs. The chorus and march from Lohengrin, which closed the first parr, was a new revela? tion to Charleston. It was listened to with breathless attention, and cheered vociferous [ ly. Schubert's theme and variations appeared to move the audience proloundly, and Mr. Listemann's rondo was received in a way that induced him to gratify the audience a second time. How long ls lt since so accom? plished a.violinist ha9 played In Charleston ! Strauss's valse, delivered with indescribable grace and fire, caused eyes to spark le and heads to wave a'l over the house. Gounod's ealtarello, grandly played, concluded the per? formance. The allegro from Beethoven's eighth symphony was the gem of the eve? ning. Miss Krebs was more successful, if that be possible, than in the first concert. She bas taken the city by storm. At the request of a number of amateurs, who appreciate fine classical music, we beg Mr. Thomas to aid to his programme for the concert to-ni?ht the Nacht Gesang of Jean Vogt. This, by courtesy of Mr. Thoma?, might be given as an encore. The Matinee This Afternoon. There will be a Thomas matin?e at two o'clock this afternoon, when the price of ad? mission is reduced to one dollar. The pro- j gramme ls as follows: PART FIRST. Overture-"Martha," Flotow ; Andante First Symphony, Beethoven ; Invitation ? la Danse, Weber, (Instrumentalion by Hector Berlioz ;) Capriccio, B. Minor, op. 22, Mendels? sohn ; Miss Marie Krebs and Orchestra ; Intro? duction-Chorus and March, Wagner, 3d Ac Lohengrin. PART SECOND. Overture-"Zampa," Herold ; Traeumerle. (by request) Schumann ; Waltz-Thousand and One Night, Strauss ; Prayer-"Moses in Egypt,'' BjtBlnl; Polka Mazurka, Devil's Darning Needle, and Polka Schnell, Thunder and Lightning, Strauss ; March-"Dueppler Storm," Piefke. "Anything more attractive than this could hardly be found. We shall be disappointed if | the Academy is not crowded to suffocation. The Concert To-Night. The last concert of the Thomas Company takes place to-night. This, after the matin?e, is the only remaining opportunity of hearing the finest orchestra in America. We need say no more. Blind Tom. The blind negro pianist bad a much larger audience last evening than at the two previ? ous concerts. Tom, as usual, seemed In the best of spirits, and played delightfully. His Binging wa*, also, much applauded; and his spelling brought down the house. One of his most amusing acts ls spelling out the name ol Borne article by the notes on the plano. One of the audience holds up a handkerchief, for instance, and the manager strikes a few notes from which Tom spells the name of ihe arti? cle with astonishing gusto. His lost concert In this city takes place this evening.
