COLUMBIA, S. C.
Friday Morning, Jane 18. lol 9.
Thc Greenville and Columbia Halli omi.
Wo aro gratified to bo able to state,
upon authority, that tho suit in the
Court of Equity, which has been pend?
ing for moro than two years past against
the Greenville and Columbia Railroad
Company, by certain holders of their
first mortgage bonds, Las been settled,
and that tho suit will bo withdrawn at
tho present term of tho Court.
Tho partios who have como forward
and settled with tho company, and con?
sented to the withdrawal of th?.* snit, arc,
as wo oro iuformcd, Thomas J. Robert
sou, John Caldwell, Robert N. Lewis,
Thomas C. Perrin, executor, and Charles
Smith, of tho original complainants in
the bill, besides others who entered tho
suit ns parties complainant after tho suit
bad been commenced.
This will bo gratifying intelligence to
both thc stockholders and bond-holders
of this corporation. It has certainly
struggled manfully, and with a r ;cess
almost unpnralled in the history of rail?
roads, sinco the war, to place its finances
in a satisfactory condition. Tho last
cloud that lins cast a shadow upon its
prosperity has now been dispersed, aud
Its futuro must be marked by eminent
success, and the road itself a general
blessing to the whole State.
We understand, also, that tho July in?
terest upon their first mortgago and
guaranteed bonds-will bo promptly paid
at maturity. This will also contribute to
increase the confidence of their credit?
ors, and in a very short time we expect
to see their bonds quoted iu tho market
as commanding os high a price as tho
best securities in the State, which posi?
tion they should, in our opinion, justly
occupy.
. The Board, with great sagacity and
acumen, arranged the terina o? settle?
ment, one -which was at once advan?
tageous and satisfactory lo all parties
concerned. The road is fortunate in
possessing a President, PO emiueuth
fitted foi tho complicated duties ?nd po
silion nf bis offiee. To his Inot and

In tho .Chicagoan WO find a long am
ably written letter from Mr.';. J. ll. Ii.
on the results of her late Southern es
perience. Mrs. R. is a sound lliiuke
and honest writer. Wo reglet tbutspnc
will permit ns only to make extract
froin the letter. Speaking of Samb
supremacy, the writer says:
"It does seem to us hard and out r
place that proud, puro-b'ooded, whoh
souled white men should bo ruled eve
in inauy instauce? by those of Africa
origin, who aro unfitted for the position
in point of education or ability, man
of whom, until a few years since, wer
ignorant field hands, who were not eve
fitted to cultivate the land without u
overseer to direct them. What do :mc
persons know about making laws, eve
for themselves? Wo would take tb
same ground iu this us we do in rogar
to 'woman .suffrage;' when they becom
educated to perform all those duties pei
taming to office, then, and not till thei
let them hold office. Preach 'negro su
frago' as much as wo will at tho Nortl
tee would not like the colored popnlntio
to become our rulers. Gladly would v
have had every citizen of tho North Inn
tho opportunity this excursion afibrdc
to seo tho exact position our brethren <
tho South are placed in."

He says tho people are fast recupcratil
from the effects of tho war, and, if pc

MB. EDITOR: Captain' Cheater, a c*p
taia iri.o negro regiment, in the volun?
teer sorvioo of tho United States, feted by
the Russian Czar; tho Emperor of "all
the Russios" dines with him, and the
negro reviews the historio regiments
Preobujensky, Ismailof, and Simeonof
sky, regiments which put Peter the
Great and Catharine II ou their imp??
rial thrones. - .
Tho roprosentativo of the United
Stntes at tho Court of St. Petersburg
communicates to his Government the
fact that, haviug ascertained that the
Czar would receive tho negro, he in his
representative churactor introduced
him.
Now, Chester cannot bo regarded in
any sense ns a representativo negro. He
is probnbly well educated, and has had
some of tho savage taken out of him, by
association with army officers. At all
events, it is no afluir of ours whether this
particular negro is introduced to the
palace of tho Emperor, or tho drawing
rooms of Her Majesty Queen Victoria,
or the Seraglio of the Sublime Porte.
It is difficult to please all tastes, and
there is no uso disputing about them.
But because Chester enjoyed this great
dignity, is his race here in the South,
illiterate and semi-civilized, to have the
complete control of a largo portion of
this republic? Massed into compact po?
litical organizations, aro they to shape the
policy and control tho destiny qf this
country? Because a negro dines with a
Russian Emperor, is his race to frame
the laws of this country? la the newly
emancipated bondsman to fetter tho
limbs of Anglo Saxons? What else is it?
Of whom are our juries composed? Here,
in Richland, niue of the twelve aro un?
educated negroes. In Williamsburg, the
entire panel is composed of negroes. Thc
lives and fortunes of white men com?
mitted to tho tender mercies of negrc
juries, the foreman even of whom cun?
no t write his na mo. Tho offices of thc
country ure filled with negroes, or their
white auxiliaries, who enjoy office by
sufferance of their black brethren "whouj

some timo since of the appointment i

shape, and in a few days tho appoin

It is probable that tho now appointmen
are to be made simply to satisfy tho i

Trjublo tit Spartn.
On yesterday morning an alarming re?
port was circulated on tho streets of this
city to the effect that there bad been a
serious difficulty between thc citizens of
Sparta, Hancock County, nnd the ne?
groes on Tuosdny evening; that a conflict
between tho rucea had ensued, caused by
a negro incendiary inciting au armed
body of his ruco to burn tho town; that
in tho fight, five negroes and one white
mnn lind beon killod; that upon the
Sheriff of tho County endeavoring to
arrest a party of tho white men, who
had been engaged in the affair, the hit?
ter had seized tho cotton factory in
Sparta, and, converting it into a fort,
had set the Sheriff and Iiis possecomilalus
at defiance; and that, a thousand other
terrible things had happened besides.
Tho nows created a good deni of excite?
ment and anxiety in this city; because it
was believed that if the report proved to
bo true, it would be seized upon by the
scalawags as fit material out of which to
manufacture political capital and arsist
them in their scheme to remand Georgia
to a military despotism. Fortunately,
however, wo have been enabled to obtain
a truo account of the whole affair, und
tho tdory of the morning proves to bo n
ridiculous canard, circulated by members
of Ames' New Oilcans Circus troupe,
who were in Sparta at the timo thu dis?
turbance occurred; but who immediately
left tho town for this city as soon as thc
shooting took place, unwilling to become
involved in any difficulty, and who were
either misinformed as to tho true history
of tho transaction, or exaggerated it very
much-unintentionally, we suppose-in
the telling.
Anxious to present to the many rend?
ers of tho Chronicle and Seritinel a correct
statement of all the facts connected with
this affair, we had nu interview with a
well known gentleman of this city, who
camodowu ou the Georgia Railroad yes?
terday evening, and from him obtained
full particulars of the occurrence. The
gentleman referred to was in tho town of
Spurts when the affray took place, and
may be considered the very best au- j
thority on tho subject. From our in
formant's statement it will bo seen that
politics hod nothing whatever to do with
tho matter, and if tho Bullock News
Ageuoy in Atlanta will telegraph thc facts
as they occurred, wo think that it will j
b..ffio even the Washington Chronicle or :
the Tribune to torture them into u po?
litical bearing.
it appears that, ou lust Tuesday ufler- '
noon. Ame;-' Circus was performing uoar j

who ii also reported lo be a bold, tm on
laut incendiary, and a constan! Btirrwr-np I
oe b*t ti le between tho while and colored
races.
Thu circus exhibition opened at 2
o'clock in tue a .'i-a noon, and the canvas
was soon filled \i itu ii largo crowd of both
white people und negroes. Two hours
lalor, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, a
crowd of uegroes, in whiou were both
Barnes and Pierson, assembled outside
of tho canvas, when the latter got iuto
an altercation with two while meu stand?
ing near. Some words passed bel ween
the parties, when Pierson pronounced
one of thc white meu to be a G-d d-d
liar. At this tho man drew his pistol
ond fired, tho ball penetrntiug tho heart
of Pierson, killing him instantly. Upon
seeing tho fall of their leader, the negroes
fired a volley into tho two whites, but
did no executiou. A ball, however, fruin
one of their pistols struck n negro named
Marshall, who happened to bo in the
way, ia the abdomen, inflicting a mor?
tal wound. The ball which struck Mar?
shall was supposed to have come from a
pistol held in tho hands of Eli Barnes,
the expelled negro representative.
The white men, as soon as Pierson fell,
fled from Sparta into the country, pur?
sued bj' tho negroes. Tho pursuit had
not been conducted a very great distance
wheu, it is said, the white men rallied,
and fired a volley into the pursuers, 1
which, though no one wos injured,
caused tho negroes, in turn, to take to
their heels.
Soon after the negroes were killod, Mr.
Rogers, tho Sherill'of the County, sum?
moned a posse cam ital ns of tho citizens,
and went out to arrest tho supposed
guilty parties. This posse vina still out
wheu our informant left Sparta yesterday
inorunie. Our informant also states
that "Kev." William Henry Harrison,
another expelled negro member of the
Legislature from Hancock County, left
Sparta yesterday for Atlanta. Of course,
ho wus tho bearer of despatches to
Bullock, and we may look out for another
despatch to the radical journals North
and West.-Chronicle and Sentinel, 11th.
Punn NKIOEU.-Ono of tho curious in?
cidents attending tho present campaign
in Virginia, is the passage of a resolution
by a meeting of colored men, members !
of a society styled tho "First Colored
Families ol Virgina," declaring that, they j
will not vote for tho colored candidate
for Register, nor for any man who is not
a pure black man, ora pure white man
tho candidato named beluga light m?
lutte-and, as theso "first fumilleV as- !
sert, was opposed to the admission ol tho

constantly Hocking to Washington during '
tho war. There has long existed a sph it '

worthless negroes iu the State can depo?
sit their votes in tho ballot box. In the
estimation of thc Rhode Island radicals,
a white man must own o house aud lot
in order to be equal in value to n negro
who hasn't a dime. Then why talk about
the "equality of races" in that State?
