[SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE NEWS ] COLUMBIA, August 30. The loveis of tbe horrible la sod about Colombia were gratified to-day with the fearful spectacle of two mortals Bwuog Into swift eternity upon the hangman's rope. Two murderers. Bill Lucas and Ned Harris, have gone to their long account. It was a sad and revolting sight, rellev&ble only by the | certain conviction which every sensible man in the commnnity feels, that they richly de? served their late, and that lt was necessary In order to check: the nu hi eas disregard of | haman Hie which has been so frequently ex? hibited In Richland County. There have been eight or ten bloody and atrocious murders committed In this commu? nity within the past eighteen months, and until now, strange to say. not one of the brutal criminals has paid the penalty of | offended law. " " !?~?TJ A BBDTAL MURDER. Bill Lucas was tried and convicted at the May term ot the Court of Sessions of the mur? der of John-Simpson, a white man, andan employee o? the. Charlotte, Columbia and - Augusta Railroad. The murder was commit? ted In the early part of . e spring, on a Sat? urday night. Simpson, the poor victim, was an Inoffensive man; buC moon addicted to bard drink. He was very much intoxicated on the nigutln question, and first met with Bill Lu? cas at the grocery store and groggery o? C. Hamburg, which is located Just by the plat? form Of the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta j Railroad. It appears that Simpson owed or had promised Lucas some powder and shot, which LUCAS demanded should be paid him at once. Sla?s?? wa? either unprepared or j ' unwilling to make the payment at that time, and Lucas became furious, cursing Simpson savagely, and threatening to take bis Ufe. | < Simpson thep left Hamburg's, and went to another store about a hundred yards up the j I street. He had not been there long until Bill j f Lnoas came In and again commenced cursing, abusing and-threatening him. Th? proprietors 11 of the store called In the police, and had | < Lucas and his party of negroes put out. Shortly afterwards 'Simpson followed, and ? Just as he got well cut on the pavement t Lucas, who was lying In walt, sprung upon 1 him, and a fierce struggle ensued. Lucas ls a i negro di powerful build and brawny muscle, ? arni Simpson when sober even and In a f/alr I fight would have been an unequal opponent to biro.' Simpson cried for help, and some of his friends who were in the.-store rushed out to ? his rescue, bnt too late to stay ibe fatal deed. < Jost as his friends reached Simpson, Lucas j drew a murderous knife and plunged lt Into his groin. He waa taken luto the store, where, j t ina Bhcrrt while, he bled to death. Lucas eu- j u dsavored lo escape, but was soon arrested by the bystanders. He was brought into the c store where Simpson lay bleeding to death, 1 and gloated with demoniac exultation over c his dreadful, deed. On the trial he behaved with great Insolence; cursed Judge Melton when his sentence was announced, and swore t ne would as soon die tbe next day as on the t sixteenth of August, the day first fixed for the c execution. THE COMPANION CRIMINAL. Ned Harris was one of the murderers ol i Pat Murphy, an old Irishman, who Tor some t time previous to his death In Decembewfast, I was a pump-minder at Hampton Statical-just J alz miles below Columbia, on the South Caro? lina Railroad. A more cold-blooded and z brutal murder was never perpetrated. The g evidence la the case, which was mostly cir- c cumstanttal, but none the less strong on that i account, showed that Harris, with bis two ac? complices, Bill Jenkins and Buller Johnson, t all negroes, had formed a plot to murder and i rob poor Murphy, who was somewhat of a I nilser, and goner ally believed to have a saug t sam of money boarded away la his quiet little t cottage, where he lived, alone. There were [ no actual witnesses to the deed, bu: ono Sun? day morning, Just before Christmas last, some 11 ot the hands of the South Carolina Railroad | c passing by the pump and not seeing the old maa at his pest to which his fidelity was proverbial, they went to his cottage to see if he was flick, or what was g the matter. As they opened the gate of \ his enclosure a sickening Bight st arrested a their gaze. There, a few paces from his door, l lay the bloody corpse of the old man lull length t upon the ground. His skull was mashed in, i and-he was beaten and bruised all over his ( body. There were appearances of a fierce t contest, and that the old nm had fought hard ] for his life. The ground was broken and tramped upon iront his door to where he lay, ? ? as if by mea struggling together; patches of [ his gray hair were found lying around, one piece up m the steps of the cottage, left there doubtless as they drudged him out; his hatchet lay near him, red with blood, and inside the cottage there were SIGNS OP A DESPERATE BTRUGULE. Suspicion was at once directed lo the three negroes named, and the event proved that lt was well grouuded. Jenkins and John? son, who .were in the employ of Mr. J. C. P. tfims, hauling wood to the railroad, were seen late ia the evening, before the murder, by two other negroes engaged lor Mr. Sims iu the -Same-work, in close consul tallon with Ned Harris, whose home was in Columbia. Harris came up about five o'clock in the afternoon to Where Jenkins und Johnson were at work, and took them to one side In the woods and they had quite a long, low and earnest, conversation together. Harris then went orr | on that night about ten or eleven o'clock. Jenkins and Johnson left the premises of Mr. Sims, where they lived, together. In the morning, about a half hour before daylight, Johnson returned, and Ned Harris came with him. Jenkins did not. A negro boy who was living la the same cabla with Johnson testi? fied that he was awake lying on his pallet when-the murderers came In; that they made up afire and sat down and had a long talk to? gether, detached words of which he heard and which led strongly to their conviction. He also noticed blood on the clothes ot Ned Harris, who, when lie was questioned about lt, gave a very unsatisfactory explaaatlon aud appeared greatly embarrassed. Jenkins has | j never appeared Ia the community since the murder. Johnson and Harris were arrested, and on their trial endeavored to establish an alibi, la which they totally failed, and which fallare added great weight to the already con- j j vlndog evidence against them. They were both convicted and sentenced to be haag, as 11 I was also Bill Lue -n the 16th of August j last. Scott commuted the sentence of John I son from that of death to imprisonment for life in the penitentiary The sentences of Lucas and Harrie he sus? pended lrom the 16th to this day. The county nominating convention met cn that day, and lt 18 generally believed here tbat Scott put off | the hanging purely for political reasons. Bheriff Fraz*e was a candidate for re-election, ana lt is said that he Interceded with Scott to spare him from the necessity of having the hanging on that day, as he was afraid It wonld torn the negroes against him. THS DOUBLE EXECUTION. The time fixed by the sentence for the exe? cution was between the hours of ten and three o'clock. The scaffold was erected In the en? closure or the jail, which la In the south? western part of the city, on the corner ot Plain add Lincoln streets. When ymir correspondent reached the grounds, about eleven o'clock A. M., there were already assembled in the adjoining lots, and OB the streets, several thousand persons, nine-tenth? of whom were colored. About one o'clock a detachment of negro military, numbeting probably one hundred, with Captain Gus Cooper at their head, were marched in, and the word was given that the hanging would soon take place. Upon this the crowd In the streets made a surge at the gate and tried to push their way In. The militia, however, with their bayonets and the police with their clubs, finally succeeded in pressing them back, AT ONE,TIME A BOW SEEMED IMMINENT, and some of the hot-headed militia appeared strongly inclined to use their bayonets. When order was restored the militia were drawn up in the form of a hollow square with une gal? lows in the centre, and an outer line of sen? tries was thrown out to keep the crowd back. The gates were then opened, and such of the crowd as had tickets were allowed to come In? side the enclosure, which they soon filled to suffocation, except immediately around the scaffold, within the line of soldiery, where the members of the press were invited to stand. There wan about a half-hour Iben of walting n the broiling suu, until finally the door of j ;he jail was opened and JHEBIFF FilAZEE APPEARED W.TH TUE TWO PRISONERS . j Jghtly bound with ropes, on> on each side of j lim, holding to his aro. The ii? v. Hr. Berke- s y, oblored, their spiritual comforter, walked | iolemly by their aide with a hymn book and Bible in bis bands. The four pro _e ed ed slow? ly to the scaffold and ascended the steps to ;he platform, from which the two doomed wretches were to take their long leap Into i terni ty. Tho sheriff then read lo them their leniences, which being finished, the Rev. Mr. berkeley read out a hymn, versa by verse, ind lt was sung by the negroes around in a Bournful tone, the prisoners themselves joln ng in the strain. A feeling prayer was.dnllv ired, the prisoners kneeling on the scaffold. Their las: act of worship being ended, the iberia" bade them take their flu al farewell of )f their lellow-belBgs. THE SCENE WAS VEBr?MPBESSIVE. Lucas spoke first. He ls (or was) a large, all, black negro, of pur?) blood, with strongly narked features and not e bad countenance at i ll. People say that he appeared greatly shanked for the better In this respect tlnce his j mprlsonment. It was thought, lrom his con luci on the trial, that he would prove fierce ind defiant to the end. On the-contrary, he eemed very much agitated, and the whole of j he few remarks he made were directed to an expression of tb9 great comlort he had re iel ved from religion, HIS FAITH IN CHRIST, ind the firm hope he had of a blessed life ?ereafter. Ned Harris was a low, thick-set, mulsh-looking fellow, with retreating fore ?ead, fiat, nose aud thick lips; a genuine Urican of the lowest type. HE APPEALED STOLID AND INDIFFERENT, ind utterly Incapable of realizing his terrible illuuliou. He would gaze around upon the :rowd In a stupid, bewildered sort of way, as I lie Imagined he had already reached another md a strange worlds-He professed religion, oo; but stoutly dJBbd his crime, avowing hat he was as irftrocent as Christ himself. >cas-made no allusion to his crime. When hey finished the few word? they had to Bay, lie sheriff proceeded to make lils final pre orations. THE NOOSE WAS FASTENED .round their neoks, and black cowls drawn iver their faces, lt was an ugly thing to see, is the sheriff came down from the platform ind lett these two figures standing there, ires led all In black, with their teet bound to ;ether and their' hands lied in front, walting, vii li but u low seconds more between them md eternity. The crowd gazed with breath ess Interest, until, as a signal was given by he sheriff PHBtCOBD WAS PULLED, Tfcf'J PLATFORM FELL, md there swung poor Ltt?M and Harrli langling In the air. Lucas died easily, bal ?arris, who was a lighter nan, was not im? mediately killed, and was kicking and wrig? gling In a horrible manner for five orten min?tes. When Dr. A. N. Tally, who was In atten lance, pronounced them dead, THEY WEBE COT DOWN md carried off for Interment, a great part of | ,he crowd following the bodies. Qui VIVE. TUE POLITICAL RACE.

The Answer of the Exec a tor-Not Harry Byrne's Widow, bat the Divorced "Wife of Robert Stoepel-"Ob, My God I Will Nobody Protect Me 3" [Prom the San Francisco Chronicle, AngosttO.] If, as the Spiritualists say, the disembodied souls of the dead are hovering around us, the spirit ol the late Harry Byrne must have been edified at the spectacle presented in the Pro? bate Court yesterday, when the stern hand of the law was invoked to adjust the evil results of his great act ol folly of twenty years ago. It would scarcely have recognized In the hu? man wreck that Bat there battling for a "con? sequential'' award based upon that foolish act, the person of the grand actress who at that time held him captive at her feet. The youth of the syren was gone; the beauty by which the young lawyer was ensnared, and his better judgment overpowered, was no longer there, and the gigantic Intellect by which the in? fatuation was fed, and which finally led to the consummation of a life's mistake, DO longer held her sway. Poor Matilda Heron ! ?he Bat there listening with a morbid Interest, but Incapable ol appreciating right from wrong. Grand, magnificent, even In her insanity but no longer anything but a human wreck. '"'SE HEROINE OF A LAWYER'S FOLLY. Yesterday she made the first official efTjrt to recov-r a maintenance irom the Byrne es? tate. The poor woman was present?a court, but lt was feared at one time that she would have to be removed because of her Interrup? tion of counsel and general disregard of the dignity of the court. Hall McAllister appear? ed for ber. while Judge Campbell appeared for Mr. Carpenter, the administrator and legatee of Mr. Byrne. Miss Heron was accom? panied to tbe room by her brother-In law, Mr. Bellly, and her counsel. She showed symp? toms of great excitement, and lt WBS with the utmost difficulty she could be kept quiet during the reading of the papers In the case. 9he was dressed In a black grenadine, trim? med with while silk pining, and a black shawl thrown over her shoulders like a scarf. Her nair, which ls quite gray, was neatly arranged under a black hat and veil. GOING FOR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGE8.] Shortly after two o'clock Mr. McAllister ?rose and read the petition for relief aa ful? tons: In the probate Coori of the City and County if San Francisco, State ol' California. In the natter of the estate of Henry H. Byrne de? based. The petition of Matilda Heron Bj rue respectfully chows : That she ls tbe widow of i ?aid Henrv H..

And for a further answer this respondent 1 ays, on Information and belief, that If the said 1 ?eililoner ever was married to the said fiyroe, 1 hey never lived together as huBband and wife, I md that the sall petitioner Immediately ubao- ' loned the Bald Byrne, and ever afterward j Ived separate and apart Irom bim, and out of beSCate of California, In which the said Byrne < ontlnuously resided to the lime ii hts death, I ,nd the said petitioner always refused, failed.

Bown. B. CARPENTER. THE ACTRESS MAKES A SCENE. Judge Campbell . allowed up the reading by i statement that the administrator fully ex? pected to prove the truth or every portion of ala answer to the plaintiff's allegation. They lld not dispute that a marriage with Mr. Byrne bad been contracted years ago, but .hey did deny that Miss Heron now had any rights under that ceremony. [Miss Heron 1?re interrupted with a cry of anguish.] She iad abandoned this mau only a short time liier her marriage; had always alter Ignored Lbe marriage, and bad married another man jy whom Bhe had bad a child. Il in therefore reasonable to suppose that the B.trne mar? riage had been dissolved. Indeed, we are abie to prove that she considered lt so, for in jertaln proceedings begun In New York lor a iivorce from Mr. Stoepel MISB Heron (excitedly coming forward.) I never was divorced from Stoepel. I left bim because of his religion. I will have justice ! To the ~fflcer who tried to quiet her.] Go iway, slr; I will have justice. I can get lt.

As I was saying, your Honor, in the proceedings of the Stoepel divorce, of ?vblch we have a copy, Miss Heron distinctly ?wears that the marriage with Mr. Byrne was ilssolved years ago. But we require time to prove all this, and to that ead lt will be neces? sary to procure a commission to take testl nony In New York. Mr. McAllister. It makes no manner of dif erence about the Stoepel marriage In thia case. This lady was the wife of Bei Byrne, as I can prove by the marriage cate wnich I hold in my hand. It in alt known that there never was a divorce MiB3 Heron (excitedly.) Never 1 neve Mr. McAllister (not noticing the lol tlon.)

Last year, and for many years preceding was the celebration of Orange anniversui that made it necessary fur. the British G ernment to Bend military and constabularj the Nona of Ireland. This year lhe Orai annlverraries were allowed to DOES compa lively unheeded, but the Roman Caine holiday ol thu 15th of August excited mt attention. For several days bodies ol pol had been on the move northward. On i 13th about eighty of the Sligo force w< cirai ted to Londonderry, and on the follow! day one hundred of the first Royal Dragu Guards and nearly eight hundred ot the cc Habulary left Dublin, chiefly for the nelgnbi hood ot Gallford, County Down, where one the largest demonstrations was expected. Belfast, on August 16, lhere was great exclt ment and more ihan one severe collision t tween the contending parties, and eevei persons were hurt more or less serious The sblp-carpeoters, who are mostly Oraiif. men, io the number-of several hundred, ii their work and endeavored to lnterrrupt'tl progress of the processionists, who sharp resented the interference. Ihr demonstran was held ai Hannahstowo, aoout four mri [rom Beifa?t. The -majirliy of the proct jlonlst bodies assembled, in Hercules ?tre ibout niue o'clock, with their bands and ba ?era, and In their green regalia.

The processionists then lurnc down Donegal street Into Corporation stree through Victoria street, up High street, HQ Into Castle street, en rout? to Hunnahatiwr When the procession arrived ai the Modi School, ihe centre of lt was attacked by stone-throwing mob that had assembled t the corner ot Townsend street. A fierce au most deiermlued utrugde ensued. Brid hats and lui ge stones al m nat darkened th air. Persons who witnessed the riots of lac declared that the scene of that morning wu unexampled even in those boisterous tlmej The processionists doubled on their oppouentf ind tore down a portion ol a railing that enclosed a piece of ground at the come af Townsend Btreet and Davis street. Tnl plot ol ground was filled with the debris which provided lots of the ammunition mei n use. Then occurred the fiercest scenes The brickbats were hurled io every direction ?nd boards were torn off and used as wea pons. Or the five detached houses m Towu tend street not one had a window that wm lot sinaBhed, especially lhat owned by Mr Fohn Ginifer; several panes of glass were alst }roken in Mr. Hugues's bakery establishment iud other buildings adjacent.

The remainder shortly afterword dispersed, ma the processionists proceeded on their wav ?vithout further annoyance limn that, ol having i drum broken by a stone flung by three yoting ads, who, we believe, are at present in cus? tody.

He, lt ls reported, was jne of the crowd who endeavored to stop the processionists. The meeting at Flanoahstown was held In a large field. It was presided over by Joseph G. Rigger, Esq., Belfast, and lt ls supposed thal lhere were thirty thousand people pres ant. The chairman dwelt at some leugth on the necessity of home rule for Ireland, aud de? clared his belief tnat lt was the aristocratic members of the government, and not Mr. Gladstone, who xelused the demands ol Ire? land. Resolutions were unanimously passed in favor of releasing the political prisoners, and of home rule for Ireland. The proceed? ings at Hannabstown were perfectly quiet und orderly, except that several pistols were fired, and lt ls said thal one mau was seriously wounded, but it is supposed to have been ac? cidental. The large proportion of those at? tending the meeting wore green Bcarfs, and there wera numerotwgreen banners displayed bearing mottoes, as "Erlo-go-Bragn," and "God Save Ireland." The processlou ?tarted on the return to Beliast between three and four o'clock, and although many roughs who joined the procession carried sticks, there was no interference with ihe march, und conse? quently no disturbances. Three or lour bands accompanied the processionals. In the atter uoon a large body-several hundreds-of Hie Bhlp-carpenters assembled, lt ls supposed, for the purpose of interfering with the returning procession, but the police, airer a slight skir? mish, succeeded in dispersing them. -John Chinaman has occasioned some curi? ous religious complications In San Francisco. Some members of the Third Congregational Church had formed a class of intelligent Chinese, taught them the rudiments or the English language, and also Instructed them lo matters of religion; and alter awhile ihe leaders of the movement thought their pupils sufficiently advanced to be permitted to wor? ship in the church every Sunday. This was bitterly opposed by some of the congregation, and when a vote wai taken lhere wer? flity two in lavor and eighteen against admirion. The minority made things so lively that the ad? mission of the Chinese converts was postponed six months, and in the meantime the pastor, having got mixed OD in the dispute, wus com? pelled to resign. Tne opposing factions are now left to fight lt out among themselveH,while the poor converts, who bid been temporarily abandoned by both aides, are left exposed to the enemy of souls.

[From the Yoikville Enquirer.] The "chasm" between the two wlbgs of the party ls wide, and the indications are thal If there ls no Interference lu the fight by the white Conservatives of the State, there will be oo "clasping of hands" by' ihe factions. The ticket headed by P. J. Moses represents, In the main, the tnieving which bas Drought che State to the verge of ruin. The other ticket ls claimed by Its friends to represent the honesty ol' the Bepiiblican party: Whether ibis is true or not, the progress or ihe campaign will fully I . develop. 1 -'A Plague on Both Your Honses."

We- do not, propose to take any siock in the fight. They I ' may abuse and vllllfy each other to their 11 heart's content; we wlH: eudorne anything 11 that ellher pariy can accuse the oiher of, and will do all our cheering lor the side that can hit the hardest licks. A Shameless Threat. [From the Greenville Enterprise,] Twenty or thirty bolters; under the lead of | Judge Orr, left the convention after the nomina? tion ol the petty rogue, and organized a sepa? rate convention. They said, however, that If ihe Dem?crata attempted to take advantage ol the spilt lu the Radical ranks, they would In s anny unite with the thieves and rogues, and bid defiance to the white folks! Was anything ever so shameless and audacious as this threat f It showed that there was not the semblance of honesty in those who made the threat.

[From tho Oraogeburg Nears;] We canuot say what bitter pills we may yet be called upou lo swallow upon the dubious poll'j.v of a choice between evils, btu our opin? ion of the Bolters' Convention Is not very ex? alted. Il Is mostly composed ol men who are now forced io admit thai nie Reform party was right In 1870, aud yet they worked against lt. The members of this convention show verv p alo'y that they want the sixty thous? and De in ocrat Ic votes to elect their candi? dates, and yet they treat this party wlih the utmost Indifference. Bepub leans have yet to learn that a minority ol slXiy thousand, com? posed as tais ls la booth Carolina, ls not to be cajoled or bullied Into anythlug which does not give some guarantee ot honesty, decency and Justice._ _ STANLEY AND THE DOUBTERS. He Defends the Authenticity of Ills .'Luttera from Livingstone." Mr. Stanley, the discoverer of Dr. Living stone, read a paper belora the Royal Geogra? phical Society at Brighton, August l?th, In which he used the lollowing language in re? ference to some of the doubts expressed of his having really found the Ai rican traveller : "There are some such questions as the fol? lowing propounded: Why uld nut Dr. Living? stone return wlih Mr. Siauley ? Why was the grear, traveller so uncommunicative to all but the Ne? York Herald? Wu y did not i ne relief | exp?dition go on aud relieve him ? What has Dr. Kirk been doing all this Mme at Ztuzlbar ? Here are four questions which admit of easy solution. To tue first I would answer, because he did not want to c>>me with Mr. Stuniej; and, may I ask. was Mr. Stanley Dr. Laving stone's keeper, that, as soon as be had found him, he should box him up, with the super? scription, 'Tnts side up wu h care?' To the second I would answer ihui Dr. Livingstone was not aware thai there was another corres? pondent present at Ihe Interview when he Imparted his lulorinattou io the cor? respondent of the Niiw Y..rk Herald. To the third question, 'Why did not the relief expe? dition ?o on aud relieve him ?' I would an? swer Lime Livingstone was already relieved, und needed no stores. To the fourth ques ilun,'What ha* Dr. Kirk been doing all ihls lime at Zinzibar?' I would reply that Dr. Kirk's relations In England may probably know what he hus been doing better than I do. Also, in answer io iliac article In the London Standard, and to similar articles in oiher news? papers, I muotconfesB that I cannot see where? in those letters of Dr. Livingstone to Mr. James Gordon Bennett are disturbing, grotesque or unexpected, unless the edliors believea that Dr. Livingstone was dead and that his ghost now hauuts them and disturbs their dreams. We are also told that 'Dr. Iiivlii"Btone'8 reports are strangely Incohe? rent;'^ i hat Slr Henry Rxwllnson's letter is 'most discouraging;' that the only theory to be gleaned from Dr. Livingstone's letters is 'simply impossible;' that ihe Standard, echo? ing the opinion ot geographers, 1B 'more In the dark lhan ever.' Here ls a field for expia-1 md ion, had one only time or space in such a paper us this to explain. Let us hope tbat geographers who are in tbe.dark.wi 1 come forward tq demand to be admitted into the light." The New York Herald publishes in full this paper of Mr. Stanleys, which fills several col? umns."
