VOLUME XI.-NUMBER 1883. CHARLESTON, THURSDAY MORNING, JANUARY 18, 1872. EIGHT DOLLARS A THE K?-KLP CASES. ONE MORE EFFORT TO BRING VF TOE CASES ON THEIR MERITS. The Motion for Writs of Habeas Cor. pas and Certiorari-What the Deci? sion of the Court ls Expected to Be-A Carious Slip on thc Part of the De? fence-The Glee In Administration Circles. [SPECIAL TKLBGRAM TO THE KBVS.] WASHINGTON, Friday, March 22. The United States Supreme Court was oc? cupied to-day lu hearing the argument of Messrs. Johnson and S tan bery in favor of a mo: Ion cf writs of habeas coi pus and cer? tiorari in the case of E. Jefferson Greer, one of the Ku-Klux prisoners, whom the United States Circuit Court at Columbia had refused to discharge upon a writ of habeas corpus. In this way the counsel for the prisoners, having failed in their appeal from the deci? sion of the Circuit Court In the matter ot quashing the Indictment, hoped still to bring the enforcement or Eu-Eluz law before the Supreme Court upon its merits. liie motion was opposed by Attorney-Gene: rarWilllams and Solicitor-General Bristow on grounds similar to those taken by the Govern? ment in the case o? the United States vs/ Avery. It may be predicted in this case, as in that, of Avery, that the motion will be . denied. The decision of the court will be delivered on Monday, to which day the court adjourned. It is stated bj gentlemen who are entirely conversant with the whole subject that these cases have not been skilfully handled on the side ol the defendants. As an evidence of bad management the fact ls cited that Messrs. Johnson and S tanberry relied mainly, for car? rying their point with the court, upon the provisions of the statute of 1867, which statute waa repealed by Congress pending the de? cision of the McArdle case. C urious as this fact may appear, lt ls undoubtedly as stated; ?nd ls, as may bo supposed, the subject ol much sarcastic comment in administrative circles. PALMETTO. THE ABBEST8 IN CHESTER COUNTY. The Chester Reporter furnishes the following details of the recent arrests in Chester Coun? ty, already briefly reported io TETE NEWS : We announced last week that at the time of going to press the troop ot cavalry were on the western Bide of the county making arrests. The first exploit of the command was the cap? ture of Mr. T. M. Sanders, whom they found at the bouse of his father-in-law, Mr. A. T. Waiker. Mr. Sanders had been in town every day for a week previous to his arrest, and could bave been captured at any time. The effect, though, would not b?ve'been so dra? matic as dragging him out at one o'clock In the"1''morning and laklDg bim along BB a pris? oner of war. The company returned lrom this raid on Thursday morning bringing with them, besides Mr. Sanders. Mr. T. T. Castles, Richard Woods, Wm. McCollum, Martin Wade, Thomas A. Anderdon, James Darby and Joseph Sims. Mr. Sims was released alter a few hours In jail, it appearing that be bad been arrested by mls'ake. Messrs. Woods, McCollum and Wade were kept at headquar? ters under guard all day, but were Anally dis? charged on their parol-*, after having been subjected to the accustomed inquisition. Mr. Winiam Leckie was arrested on Wednesdey of last week and kept In Jail till Saturday, when be was released on ball. On Thursday night another raid was made by the cavalry In the Turkey Creek neighborhood, and the lo Ho wi og persons captured: J. D. Sui arr. S. Howell, M. Good, John Jones. John McCarley, J. T. Love, Lee Gaston and Ames Seal fe, colored. About the same time a detachment from York arrested and curried to Jail at that place Mr. J. M. Kirkpatrick and his brother, John Kirkpatrick. During the week Mr Baxter Crosby was arrested near La od sf o rd and lodged in the jail at this place. Mr. J. T. Walker was arrested in Columbia on Friday last, and released on ball. On Tues? day of this week Mr. T. M. Sanders was allow? ed to give bail, and was discharged. All the rest ot the unfortunate prisoners are still In jail. It ls proper to state tbat all the arrests were made by the m HDary authorities'without any pretence of acting aa an auxiliary to the Unl . ted States marsha). There was neither com? missioner nor-marshal here. The arrests, how? ever, were made on warrants issued by Com? missioner Porteous when here lan December. These are times when we are all at the mercy of arbitrary power, aud it, probably, therefore would be wise for us to speak with tated breath. 1 bat every feeling ot our heart is In .deepest sympathy with these unfortunate vic? tims of political persecution, lt ls hardly nec? essary for us- to Bay. THE KNOTTY PROBLEM SOLVED. How to Live on Twelve Hundred Dol? lars a Tear. * Under the heading of household expenses,' the New Tork Times has called out a long list of communications showing bow a middle class family may be maintained in good homes :an'd have every comfort on twelve hundred dollars. The following letter strikes us as by long odds the most feasible and commonly practiced: Your Inquiries are by far more numerous than the replies as to the mode of making both ends meet when keeping bouse or living on a small salary or Income. I have for the past two years kept house with a wife, three children and two servants, on an income ot less than twelve hundred dollars per annum, .and from present appearances shall do it again this year. My pian is'.Ms: I spend what I -need to live well, keeping a monthly account with the grocer, butcner, dec; I let the bills accumulate lor a period of, say two months, and at inls Ihne the treasury is empty and the bills considerable. Then (and this ls the grand Idea) my wife collects ibe bills and goes with tears in ber eyes to her father, pleads poverty, ?ta1 ks tbe old gentleman out of a check, and the crisis ls met. Tbe next time, to give him a rest, one of the two inevitable well-off broth? ers-in-law ls called into requisition. Tbis you will see only happens twice a year to each, and it don't hurt them much, so we swing -along. Tue above ls the only feasible plan I see, and ls I know the most common way. No young man in my opinion has a right to cet married unless his father-in-law keeps a bank account, and unless the marriage brings him a couple at least of moneyed brothers-in-law." POLITICAL NOTES.

Arrest of Fug lt ive* from Justice-A Confession of Oaf lt-Sadden Death Causea by Hard Drinking-A Snow Storm at the Capital. [SPECIAL TRLKGRAM TO THE NEWS.] COLUMBIA, Friday, March 22. George Black, who was charged with shoot log and killing Henry Thompson, a colored manager at the elections in Abbeville County, in 1869, was arrested in Cleveland, Kentucky, and brought here to-day. He confesses the murder and bas been committed to jail. Black was hunted out by D. K. Moore, who was was stimulated by a reward ol one thousand dollars offered by Governor Scott for the ar? rest of Hie murderer. An Inquest was held to-day upon Mrs. Mary Johnson, who had died suddenly. It was shown that she and her husband had been .beastly drunk for several days, and the Jury ' found that the immediate cause of ber death was congestion of che brain. Money is tight, and times are dull. A snow-storm set lu. at three o'clock this afternoon. _SALUDA. THE AIKEN PEACHES. What la Said About Them-The Fruit Prospect. [F80M CUB OWN CORRESPONDE ST. J AIKEN, March 20. A gentleman remarked In my hearing re? cently "that he had never eaten a peach-in a pie, canned, preserved or In any way, ex? cepting as he plucked it from the tree. That he had eaten them in Delaware, Jersey, Long Island and the We3t, but that he must admit that the Aiken peach was far superior in flavor to any that he had before tasted," and I be? lieve that it ls generally conceded by all Im? partial judges that lt is the most delicately flavored fruit sent to market. Mr. Furguson, of Furguson & Lott, New Tork, who handle a greater portion of the fruit shipped from this section, says: "Aiken peaches always com? mand the very best price In this market." Mr. James Purvis, who has. been shipping fruit for twenty years, and who owns the largest orchard but one in the South, is quite san? guine of a good crop. He thinks, if we can Eass Easter without a killing frost, it ls safe, ast year the bearing was immense, but the Incessant rains in the spring seriously affected the irult, causing lt to be Juicy to the exclu? sion of sacc nari ne matter, consequently lt was almost an Impossibility to place the fruit at the North In perfect condition, lt lacking the eleme .t ot preservation in so great a degree. The trees are not yet in bloom, with the ex? ception of the honey peach, which ls of no value for exportation, and which is in blos ?som, usually, two weeks before any other .variety. So that lt is very probable that we shall nave not only a fair crop, but one that will prove remunerative to the grower?. NAV. THE OLD WORLD'S NEWS.

A SKETCH OF HENRY BERRY LOWERY, THE HALF-BREED OUTLAW. Physique anet Personal Appearance A Walking Arsenal-Characteristics Thc Outlaw's Wife. The following detaliB in regard to the famous North Carolina outlaw, from the Lum berton correspondence of the New York Her? ald, although, doubtless, somewhat over? drawn and sensational, will be read with In? terest at tbls time: DESCRIPTION OP HENRY BERRY LOWERY. Henry Berry Lowery, the leader of the most formidable band ot outk rs, considering the smallness of .it numbers, that bas been known in thlB country, ls of mixed Tuscarora, mulat? to and wblte blood, twenty-six years of age, five feet nine locheB blgb, and weighing about one hundred and fl fry pounds. He has straight black bair, like an Indian; a dark goatee, and a beard graceful lu shape, but too thin to look very black. His face slopes from the cheek bones to the tip of bis goatee, so as to give him the Southern american contour of physiognomy; but lt ls lighted with eyes of a different color-eyes of a grayish hazel-at times appearing light blue, with a drop of brown In them; but In agitation dilating, dark? ening, and, although never quite losing the appearance ol a smile, yet In action it ls a smile of devilish nature. His forehead Is good and his face and expression refined-remark? ably so, considering his mixed race, want of > education and long career of lawlessness. A scar of crescent shape and black color Hes in tbe skin below bis left eye, Eald to have been made by an Iron pot falling upon him when a child. His voice ls sweet and plea' ant, and in nts manner there ls nothing self-important or swaggering. He is not talkative, listens quietly, and searches out whoever is speak? ing to him like a man Illiterate In all books. The color ot his skin ls of a whitish yellow sort, with an admixture of copper-such a skin a?, for the nature ot Its components, ls in color indescribable, there being no negro blood in lt except that of a far remote genera? tion of mulatto, and the Indian still apparent. It Is enough to say of his skin that lt seems to suffer little change by heat or cold, expo? sure or sickness, good bousing or wild weath? er. The vely rf latives of white men killed by Henry Berrfr Lowery admit? ed to me that "He ls one of tho handsomest mulattoes you ever saw." LOWERY PHYSICALLY. To match this face, the outlaw's body ls of mixed Btrength and beauty. It is well-knit, wiry, straight in the shoulders and limbs, without a physical flaw In lt, and, as one said to me who had known bim well since child? hood, "He ls like a trap ball, elastic all over." He has feet which would be noticeable any? where, pointed and with arching Instep, so that he can wear a very shapely boot, and his extremities, like his features, Indicate nothing of the negro. A good chest, long bones, sup? pleness, proportion, make his walk and form pleading to see. He is negligent about his dress, but bis clothes become him, and never disparage bim. People have told me that be wore floe clothes, but, when questioned to the point of re-examinatlon, admitted that he had nothing on but ? woollen blouse and trousers, and a black wide-brimmed, stiff, woollen hat. HIS ARKS. To see this trim youth as he appears when? ever seen on the highroads or the piney forest bypath, or as often at the railway stations of Moss Neck, Eureka, Bute's Store or Red Banks, ls to see young Mars bearing about an arsenal. His equipment might appear prepos? terous, if we do not consider the peculiar cir? cumstances of his warfare-outlawed by the State of North Carolina, without a reliable base of supplies, and compelled to carry arms and charges in them enough to encounter a large body of men or stand a long campaign. A belt around his waist accommodates live six-barrelled revolvers-long shooters. From thirberraTMoulder strap passes trp and sup? p?t ts behind, slinging fashion, a Spencer rifle, wbtcb carries eight cartridges, and lt ls now generally alleged that be bas replaced this with a Henry rifle, carrying double the former number of cartridges,while, successively, man after man of the band, by some mysterious agency, becomes possessed of a Spencer rifle. In addition to these forty or forty-eight charges Lowery oarrles a long-bladed knife and a large flask of whiskey-tbe latter because he fears to be poisoned by promiscuous neighbor? hood drinking. He can run like a deer, swim, stand weeks of exposure In the swamps and forest, walk day and night, and take sleep by little snatches, which, lo a few days, would tire out white or negro. Although a tippler, he was never known to be drunk-a fact not to be justly asserted of his confederates. Brought suddenly at bay he Is observed lo wear that light, fiendish, enjoying smile, which shows a nature at Its depths savage, predatory and fond ot blood. The war he bas waged tor the past nine years, within a region of twelve or fifteen miles square, asalnst county. State, Confederate and United Slates authorities, alternately or unitedly, ls justifi? cation for the terror apparent lo the faces of all the white people within those limits. Low? ery's band gives more concern to Ufe Caro? linas than did Tarleton's Legion ninety , years ago. HW . LOWERY AS A BRIGAND LEADER. "What ls the meaning of inls ?" said I to "Parson" Sinclair, the fighting parson of Lumberton, "How can this fellow, with a hand? ful of boys and Illiterate men, put to flight a society only recently used to warfare and full of accomplished soldiers? Explain lt." "Lowery," answered Blnclalr, "ls really one of those re mar kan! e executive spirits that arises now and then in a raw community, without advantages other than nature gave him. He has passions, but no weaknesses, and his eye ls on every point at once. He has impressed that whole negro society with his power and Influence They lear and ad? mire him. He asserts h1 j superiority over all these whites just as well. No man who stands face to face with him can resist his quiet will and assurance and his searching eye. Without lear, without hope, defying so? ciety, he ls the only mao we have any know? ledge of down here who can play his part. Upon my word, I believe if he had lived ages ago he would have been a William the Con? quer. He reminds me of nobody but Rob Roy." HIS BLOOD AND INCLINATIONS. The three natures of white, Indian and negro are, however, seen at Intervals to come tor ward In this outlaw's nature. The negro trace ls in his love of rude music. He Is a banjo player, and when the periodical bunt for bim ls done, he repairs to some one of the buts In Scuffletown and plays to the dancing of the mulatto girls and his companions by the hour, his belt of arms unslung and thrown at bis feet, the peaceable part 01 the audience taking Eart with mixed wonder, delight and appre ension. Several times this banjo hus nearly betrayed him to his pursuers. Sh. riff MucMil? lan described himself and pos-e once lying out all night in Ihe swamp and timber around Lowery's cabin to wait for him io come forth at daylight. "And," said he, "that banjo was Just everlastingly thrumming, and we could hear the laugnter and Juba-beating nearly the whole night long." THE MULATTO SARDANAPALUS. The licentiousness of Lowery ls sufficient to be noticeable, but while lt never engages him to the exclusion of vigilance and activity, lt also shows what may be traced to his Indian nature-the using of women as nn auxiliary to war and plunder. He has debauched a num? ber of his prisoners with the mulatto girls of Scuffletown, and the charms ol these yellow tinted sjreus broke up the morale of the late campaign in force against the outlaws, while as some allege, the discovery ol the Detective Landers's plan to capture Lowery was made by a girl in Lowery's Interest with whom Lan? ders spent his <fcne. Lowery has said, and laughed over lt, that he devised at a critical point in the truce between the contending p irties that a bevy of the prettiest and frailest beauties in Scuffletown should come up and be Introduced to one of the officers high in com? mand. After that the Marc Antony in ques? tion laid down his sword, and gave practical evidence that the hostility of races is not so great as the slavery statesmen alleged. The Indifference of the Indian to the loan of his squaws findB some parallel tn Lowery's tactics. He himself ls the Don Juan of Scuffletown; but he sleeps on his arms, and will go into ihe swamps for weeks without repining. Women have been employed to give him up; but they either repent or he discovers their purpose by intuitive sagacity. THE OUTLAW'S WIFE. The white society around him gave Henry Berry Lowery a lesson in Belf-ecnoollog and sacrifice so far as women were concerned. After the murders of Barnes and Harris offences which some think ought to have been Included in the proclamation of oblivion ior offences committed by both sides before the close of the war-Lowery stood np by the side of Rhody Strong, the most beautiful mulatto of Fcuffletown, to be married. Aware of the engagement and the occasion, the sheriff's posse, with cruel deliberation, sur? rounded the house till thaceremony was over, and then rushed In and I took the outlawed husband from the side of. his wife. He was removed to Lumberton Jail, and then sent still lurtber away to Columbus County Jail; but he broke through the bars, escaped to the woods with the Irons on his wrists, and made bis way to his bride. They have three chil? dren. A GLIMPSE AT MADAME LO WE RT. As I rode down on 4be train from Shoe Heel to Lumberton, on the 28th of February, the conductor. Colonel Morrison, came to me and said: "If you want to se?|Henry Berry Lowe? ry's wife, you can find her in the forward second-class car." She had taken the train at Red Banks for Moss Neck-points between which the whole band of outlaws ireqnently ride on the freight trains-and at the latter I notable station I saw her descend with her baby and walk off down the road in ?se woods, and stop there among the tall pitch pines, as If wailing for somebody. The baby-the last heir of outlawry-began to cry as she left the train, and she said, mother-fashion: "No, no, no, I wouldn't cry, when I had been so good all day !" This woman 1st the sister of two of | the five remaining outlaws, and wife ot the third. The whites call her, satirically, "the Q nee ti of Scuffle town;'' but she appeared to be a meek, pretty-eyed rather shrinking girl, of,a very light color, poorly dressed. She wore many small brass rings, with cheap red stones in them, on her hands, and a dark green plaid dress of muslin delaine, which Just revealed her new black morocco "store" shoes. A yellowish muslin or calico hood, with a long cape, covered her head, and lhere was nothing beside that I re? member except a shaw] of bright colors, much worn. It was sad enough and prosalo enough to see this small woman with ber baby In her arms, carrying lt along, while tbe husband and father, covered with the blood of fifteen murders, roamed the woods and swamps like a Seminole. A RAILROAD HOLOCAUST. Two Passengers Killed and Thlrty-ilx Injured. PHILADELPHIA, March 22-. The Southern Expresss train was thrown from the track to-day. by a broken rall, near Johnstown.

A column of three thousand men, which Rocha Bent In pursuit of Guerra's army, were re? pulsed and twenty pieces of artillery taken from them on i he Ulb, which result enabled the revolutionists to again take the defensive, and they now confront Rocha with a force equal to that of the government.

Where, however, a disposition to Pulmonary disease exists, a Cough, if left to it? self, strains and racks the Lungs, and wastes the general strength, and soon establishes an incura? ble complaint. In all cases, then, it ls the safer plan to get rid of s Congh, Cold or Hoarseness without delay, and for this purpose no remedy acts more promptly or surely, or with more bene? fit to the orgaus or the chest than Dr. D.
