COLUMBIA, S. C. -:-!-1 Thrjraday Morning, September 22,1870 Thc nisturl?Q?ito lat til? Vp Country. In nnothor column our readers will find the statement of the Newberry Herald with respect to the disturbances in that part of the State. It appears that the whites have assembled in con? siderable force, and are doubtless mas? ters of tbe situation. We nope that these troubles may be allayed without further violence. In these disorders we see the fruits of radical teachings and the results of Governor Scott's unneces? sary and uncalled-for arming of tho colored militia. A passenger who came down the Greenville Hoad on Tuesday saw ubout 100 armed men at Pomuria. DlurUcr Ia Barnwell, S. C.-Negro Ku Klux on the Rampage-.V Colored Man Shot to Piece* at Illa Own Door-An Aged White Man Shot-Another C olor? ed Man Pot ni ly Wounded. From Mr. J. A. Bonnett, of Barnwell County, S. G., we learn tho following particulars of an inhuman and barbar? ous murder committed in that County on Monday night by two negroes-ono a mulatto and the other black-upon the person of a colored man at his own house, together with the shooting and mortal wounding of another colored man in his own yard, and the shooting of an aged white man called to his door by the fiends on their murderous ram? page. Near Williston, about thirty miles from Augusta, on Monday eve? ning, about 7 o'clock, two colored meu, names not given, rode up to tho house of a colored man named Moses Bonnett, and asked him to supply them with a chew of tobacco, which he furnished. They then asked him if he did not havo a good gun, to which he responded in the affirmative, and at their instance produced the weapon. As soon as with? in reaoh one of the mounted negroes seized the gun, while tho othor drew his pistol and fired at Bonnett, who fell, both of the negroes then oontinuing firing upon him until life was extinct, and the face, arms and neck of the dead man were shot to pieces. With their appetite for blood seemingly only whetted by this inhuman outrage, they rode off in quest of other victims of their hellish vengeance. Proceeding about a mile and a half, the fiends ar? rived at the residenco of Mr. Josiah Kendle, an aged white man, whom they called out. Keadlo went to his door, torch ia hand, when tho negroes fired a volley of four or five shots, ono of which took effect in one of his legs. He, too, in all probability, would have been mur? dered, bat for the valor of a savage dog, which compelled the murderers to movo on. From this point, the negroes rode to the farm of Mr. John Rodd, about five milos distant, and culled out a colored man named July Owens, asking him for a chew of tobacco. Receiving tho to? bacco, they proceeded to interrogate Owens as to whether Mr. Redd was ut home, and how many others resided on the placo. They also desired to know whether times were peaceublc, aud re? ceiving assurance that everything was quiet, they replied that "times should no longer be peaceable," upon which they simultaneously drew their pistols and fired, shooting Owens down in his tracks, and continued firing until four or fivo shots were expended, only ono of which took effect. Owens was shot through and through tho breast, und survived through tho night, but no hopes were entertained of his lifo at day? light yesterday morning, tho hour ut which our informant saw him. Great excitement prevailed in tho neighbor? hood, and parties were organized to pursue the murderers, who were tracked iu the direction of this city. Tho murderous rampage of those ne? gro savages seems to confirm tho plan proposed by the confidential circular picked np at Union Court House, which we published yesterday, proposing that the leagues, ia order tu establish the supremacy of the radicals in tho ensuing State election, should, on 20th instant, commence the slaughter of colored men, charging their crimes to tho Reform Party. It is to be hoped that speedy justice will overtake these fiendish no groes, one at least of whom is known to those in pursuit. The names of tho ne? groes guilty of the revolting crimes above recited, aro given as Juba John? son and Lewis McCreary-the former positively known as one of the murder? ers, while the latter is strongly .suspi? cioned.-Augusta Constitutionalist. A SOUTHEE >f LADY TAKES TO THE STAOE.-Miss Lina Edwin, who has just opened her new theatre in New York, has a romantic history, according to the Brooklyn Union. "She isa Southerner, well born, aud highly educated. She lived on her paternal estatos noar Rich? mond, Virginia, and was brought up in the mollesse of the old Southern aristo? cracy. Daring the war the paternal estates were melted in tho orucible of the Confederacy, and Miss Edwin turned pluckily to self-support. First she tried literature, and became well known in the internal newspaper world as a song writer. Then she set about writing music for her songs, and tho orchestral world began to know hor. She wrote waltzes and fantasias, and ia all acquit? ted herself well. Next she took to the stage, and in two years or BO from a brilliant beginning, reached tho degree of manageress in her own right. An opportune legacy bas set her right pecu? niarily, bat it did not arrive until she had got well into the expense list of her ledger on behalf of tho publio amuse? ment, and now she will appear in her new oapacity as manager." High rout-tearing a lady's dross at the shoulders. Tb? Massacre at Tientsin-Valle?' De? tails of trie Horrible Barbarlttco of th? Chinese Mob. Wo have- already published tho prin? cipal facto connected with tho inhuman niaoaaore on th? 21st Of Juno by ft Chi? nese mob, at Tient-fliu, of the Frenoh Consol, a number of other Froooh sub - j'octfl, including several priests, and the Sisters of Charity attached to the Frenoh hospital of the city. The Lon? don Standard publishes a private letter, written from Cheeloo, June 30, in which the barbarities praoticod on the fatal day of tho massacre are fully de? picted. After telling bow the Frenoh Consul, M. Fontanier, M. Thommasain, an attache of the consulate and his wife, and two Catholic priests, were murder? ed, the letter proceeds to give details of the sanguinary sequel to these crimes. Tho mob, led ou by soldiers, set uro to the consulate and the church of the Catholic mission, and burnt all tho other inmates who could not escape. Simul? taneously with tho assault on thoFruuch cousulate, the mob and soldiers sur? rounded tho hospitul of the French twis? ters of Charity. Having set tire to a portion of tho building, they entered the gates and dragged all tho Sisters uf Charity out into tho street. There they stripped thom naked, exposed them to tho publio guzo, plucked out their oyes, cut oil their breasts, ripped them opon, dragged out their hoarts, and deliberate? ly cut them to pieces and divided por? tions of their llesh amongst the infuri? ated mob. No European witnessed these outruges on humanity save the poor vic? tims, who, in presence of euch other, passed through tho terrible ordeul, and petishod without hope uf release, and without any support in that extreme hour of misery and torment save their confidence iu a merciful God, whose be? hests they have endeavored to fulfill amongst a barbarous people, at the peril of their lives. Chinese spectators of tho bloody scene relate other horrors perpe? trated on tho innocent ladies that cunnot ho mentioned. Tho lady superioress of the hospital, it is related, was cut in twain while yet alive. God uloue and tho Sisters know cwhat they endured of agony and bodily sufferings. Their modesty outraged, their purity defiled, their poor, frail frames torn asunder, their blood scattered, and their lives de? stroyed by savage? whose murderous rage inflicted all those and other out? rages amidst a scone of horror thut alone would be terrible to encounter. Oue short hour sufficed to extinguish those noble martyrs of charity, Their labor of love amongst the poor of Tient-sin for six years was thus crowned in bitter? ness and earthly shame by the very peo? ple whom they had succored, and fed, and clothed, aud tended in the hour of sickness nod pestilence. No sooner had the mob and the sol? diers glutted their thirst for Luman blood on tho unfortunate Sisters than they burnt tho entire hospital. Nearly 100 children who had been received into the orphanage, attached lo tho hospital, perished in tho flames. The mutilated members of the dead Sisters wero thrown into the burning ruins, and thup, togeth? er with tho little childrcu they wero charitably nurturing, was tho holocaust completed. Such a tulo of horrors would suffice, but more still remains to be told. Mr. N. Protopopoff, il Russian tncrchuut, with his wife, to whom ho had only been married two days, wero met in tho town of Tient-siti by thu same infuriated mob and soldiery, uud attacked with .spears and swords. Mr. Protopopoff fell ni tuest immediately, and was cruelly murdered. lits wife, w no was on a spirited horse, fled for her life, but being repulsed from the road, turned huck und attempt? ed to leap an open sewer in thu town. She fell with her horse, but extricated herself, hill for a few minutes in the sewer, until she was dragged ont mid killed by tho mob. Tho bodies of these two Russians were thro wu into the sewer, and afterwards recovered bj their friends. They had beeu stripped naked, and had been .subjected to most barbarous usage. A French merchant, M. Chalniuison, heming that tho Sisters of Charity were being attacked, tried to get near thu hospitul to defend them, but. ho w;:s caught in thu street aud bucked to pieces. His wife, ou hearing of her husband's death, fled to thc house of a native Christian, and remained there till night, when, disguised in a Chinese dress, she ventured to her house, thinking to see tho body of her dead husband. Af I er a fruitless search she endeavored to get back to the Chinese house, but being discovered by some of Chung How's trained troops (tho Chung How rifles), she was killed by them in tho street. About fifty Cantonese- men, who were suspucted of being on intimate terms with tho Europeans, were mutdered during thu excitement; nud even to? wards tho end of tho duy some miscre? ants were prowling about tho foreign settlement. One of them was taken with a loaded pistol, and h 3 confessed thut he had boen sent to kill some of thc Europeans in tho custom service. What tho French authorities will do it wrapped in tho future. Tho Count, dc Rocbechouard, tho French Charge d'Af? faires at Pekin, by last accounts, is de? tained at tho Imperial capital. Some roport that tho Chinese Emperor wil not allow him to louvo Pekin, as the} declare they havo no power to proteel him from being murdered, either ou the road or at Tiont-siu, by tho samo assus sins who have already killed so many o! his compatriots. Whether tho Froncl Charge d'Affaires is detained for othoi motives it is difficult to state. Possiblj his departure is feared lest ho shoult take immediate steps for u retributioi for tho fearful blow inflicted on Frencl Erestige in China, and that by keepinf im at Pekin, time may be gained t( soften down the painful impression caused by tho late massaore. A shor time will bring the French Admiral t< tho soene of the catastrophe, and unies the most summary and completo humili ation be imposed on tho Chinese Go vern ment, French influence will bare ceased in China from the 81st c! Juno, when so much ol her innocent blood wee shed bj her triomphant enemies. There was no available force at Tien?* sin for the defence of British property or. life. Chong How had been requested four consecutivo days previously by the British Consol to take precautionary measures to avert the outbreak, or afford protection, and he never even vouch safed to answer to these important official requisitions made to him as the chief authority of Tient-sin. Upon Chung How doubtless rests tho responsibility and blame of the whole of thin murder? ous insurrection, and it is to be hoped that condign punishment will be inflict? ed on him for his connivance nt tho slaughter of so many iunocent persons. Tho horror of tho outrage is only equaled by tho treachery of tho Chinese Government, and sooner or later, the Emperor himself will have to answer the iudignant forces of France, nod it is to bo hoped of England, also, for the gross breach of humanity that has no parallel in modern times. From Newberry. Tho Herald says : "Coming cveuts east their shadows before," und wo may well be prepared for what seems inevitably to come. Sunday afternoon a report reach? ed town that a large armed baud of co? lored men wero in tho neighborhood of Belmont, sweuriug to burn out and kill Mr. James Chappell, who had a difficul? ty some days before with a negro who he was desirous of diivingolT tho plantation of Mr. Moses Anderson, at tho latter's request. Tho difficulty, wo learn, bud becu settled, however, afterwards. Mr. Pay singer, sheriff, proceeded to the spot and there learned that a party of sixty colored mon had gone to the bouse of Mr. Anderson, where Chappell was, and Mr. Wm. Suttcrwhito went out and asked what was wanted. He was told they wanted Mr. Chappell; that they were going to hang him. Mr. S. said it could not bo. They then threatened to kill him. The party in the house then came out, five in number, armed, wheu tho negroes went off and were joined by others, altogether amountiug to a largo force. Tho citizens in thc meantime turned out, aud both parties, as night had como on, remained in position about two miles apart till morniug-Mr. Paystnger with the company of citizens. Next morning, having business in town, Mr. P. started back, taking Mr. Chappell along under arrest to carry out tho law iu his case, Mr. Jack Henderson iu company. On thc road, near Longshore's Store, they were stopped by a company of armed negroes formed iu Hue. This party threatened to kill the sheriff, but finally consented to let him and tho two others pass. Ou being ordered to disperso, and, if not peaceably, they should bo forced, they replied there were not men enough iu Newberry to disperse them. Beturning to tho scene of action near Belmont, in company with two young men, Mr. P. overtook a fotce of con? stabulary und colored men from town going in the same direction. These be directed to go on and meet tho hostile negroes, und tell them that peace had to be preserved; that ho would meet them and see what was to bo done or what wanted. He wonted them to disperse, but if they wanted war und would have it they should be gratified. Arriving on the ground he found a largo force, per? haps six or eight hundred in number, of white men mounted and armed, who had gathered in his absence, having heard beside that Crews with a force, from Laurens were eu the way to reinforce the Belmont outlaws. Mr. P., then, with three or four leading men of tho neigh? borhood, advanced tn the hostile party and demanded to know what they want? ed. Tho answer was justice. They were told they should have if, but they must disperse and also <?i\o up tho sixty who bad threatened Mr. C's life, and to burn bis premises. After considerable ?l?mur the demand was wisely agreed to, but only twenty-three of tho offenders .-owKl be found; these were given up and placed nuder arrest. Tho armed party of white mounted men, who bad thus far hoon kept in the background, were nww ordered up, aud tiled past in review, when tho negroes quietly dispersed, pro? mising to go to their homes. The town party then started on their return home with thc prisoners. lu thu meautime, u negro came iuto town shot in tho arm, and reported the wound inflicted by Mr. Geo. Johnstone, who was with Mr. Paysiuger. A howl was at once raised, and a party of infu? riated colored boys and mon started to take Mr. J. These self-appointed judges and would-be executioners met tho returning sheriff's party, and were very violent in demonstration against Mr. J., in fact fired one shot nt him. Tho insulting language and threats were hard to boar, but they were borne pa? tiently. It was ascertained, finally, that tho party suspected wns not tho ono, and tho company of pence-makers reached town safely. Here, tho scene bailies de? scription. Tho town was in an nproar that is, the colored portion-and nothing but the quiet determination of tho white citizens, and their great forbearance, kept off a collision. Tho prisoners were placed under guard, and finally gave bond for appearance at court, which is now sitting. At night a force was put on guard as a necessary precaution against tho threats and violeuoo of the afternoon. Nothing transpired during the night to disturb the quiet, and in the morning no sign of tho disturbance could be seen. It may be mentioned that the mounted oitizons, instead ot coming towards town, moved in the direction of Edgeficd, as it was reported that a largo force of ne? groes were near tho Saluda Hiver, and about to cross to join issue with the Belmonters, but the result of this we have not asjertained. This is a plain, unvarnished account of tho whole affair, so far an we can learn. The negroes were wholly in the WTO o g. It Mr. Chappell committed an offense against the law, in striking a man who grappled with him, to the law re* course should haye been bad? But tbi? seems not the advice- of patty radical leaden. The purpose evidently is to brio g on m collision, and the colored people arefooliBh enough to be led into tho trap. We don't want thia, fight, we.de {ireoate it, and will go to all reasonable engths to prevent it, but patience will soon cease to be a virtue, and if these blinded colored peoplo are determined to preoipitato it, they will get it, wo fear, before long. We do not wish to make a great sen? sation article of this, or stir up any more feeling than has boen shown; on the contrary, our desire is, as is tho pur? pose and wish of overy honest citizen, and among this number not a few color? ed men, to maintain tho peace at all hazards, but wo would perhaps bo doing wrong did wo not mention that ono of tho whito constabulary force, aud the chief of them all, after promising tho sheriff to aid him in quelling the riot, was teen to titko hold of a negro, aud heard to tell him, "to go in and defend his rights." Wo have this on unques? tioned authority. It is well that the peo? plo kuow how tho constabulary force .stand. Wc still ask our citizens to bear as much ns can be borne in reason. How To Kinni e a PalrElcctluu. The State elections of October 19, will be hold under tho gencrul election law, approved March 1, 1870. That law au? thorizes tho Governor to appoint three commissioners of elections for each County, which commissioners designate tho precincts, and appoint three mana? gers of elections for each precinct in the County for which they aro appointed. The managers are required to deliver thc poll lists, and tho boxes containing the ballots, to tho respective commissioners of elections within thrco days after the day of election. These remain in tho keeping of tho commissioners until tho Tuesday following tho election, whou tho commissioners count tho voto of each pro cinct. Within ten dayB from this time thc commissioners must make a state? ment of the result. For ten daj-s, therefore, the ballot boxes, and tho poll lists, are in the ex? clusive enstody of the commissioners of elections. These commissioners can, if they choose, so manipulate the ballots as to elect, or defeat, whom they pleaso. Their opportunity for fraud and trickery is as complete ns tho most venal politi tician can desire. Nor has any pains boon taken to appoint, as commissioners, those men only who enjoy tho confidence of both political parties. Governor Scott, to the best of our knowledge, has picked up his commissioners without regard to their intelligence or their trust-worthi? ness. The fruits of months of labor, tho destinies of South Carolina, are in the keeping of a body of men whose chief, if not only, qualification is a blind devo? tion to tho interests of Scott and his ring. This is the position of affairs, and it is one which causes gravo uneasiness to all who desiro, as wo do, a peaceful and fair election. The Reform Party are pre? pared to abide by tho verdict of tho grand jury of tho people. If tho re? formers aro fait ly and squarely beaton, they will stand it like men, but they do not mean to bo cheated out of their victory, by election commissioners or any other of Scott's officiais. This feel? ing is doubtless entertained by many of the moro docent members of tho Scott party. Rut whether it is or not, wo have the right to demand, in behalf of the Union Reform Party, that all rersouable security be giveu that the election shall bo fair, and that the volo shall bo fairly counted ?nd reported. Governor Scott flatly declined to appoint one commis? sioner in each County from the ranks of the Reform Party. L'his, iu itself, sug? gests an intention to tamper with the vote. From Scott, however, wo expect no redress. Whatever consideration and fair dealing we receive must come from men who have moro liberality and more sagacity than are possessed by Governor Scott.-Charleston Netts. The Cologne (Josette soys: "Make for gtdd! As tho Times suggests, re? deem with a thousand millions tho blood of tho children of Germany. Away with tho thought! Franco must bo hu? miliated-she must bo so brought down that iu tho future sho will be unablo to cause us any disquietude. Conclusion -To Paris!" Tho Voss Zeitung, usually calm in its statements, exclaims: "Wo will not give up Alsace and Lorraine, whioh n proud conquerer formerly stole from the Fatherland;" whilst tho official organ of Bismarck, the Allgemeine Nord Deutsche Zeitung, ropeats: "From com? bat to combat-from victory to victory until wo plant tho German dag upon tho Imperial Palace of the Tuileries Thus, then, tho consoling idea of seeing tho waters of tho Mosello again blue, Paris resumo its gayety, and Berlin its indus? try, of seeiug peaco and commercial in? tercourse onco more established, is de nicd us. Not a maa in Germany, in this Germany, so peaceful, humane and intelligent, iu tho oountry of Goethe, Schiller, Kent and Lessing, cries 'hold, enough!" -.-?-?-? A German journal rather savagely says that tho "first Napoleon was a lion sovago sud blood-thirsty, but still a lion-and the jackal, in possession of tho remnants of his repast, has believed himself his equal; tho first Napoleon was a devouring flame, and tho third of that name a flaring meteor, the product of unwholesome decomposition." It will bo interesting to naturalists and geologists to learn that two enormous skeletons of antediluvian animals have been discovored on the bank of tho River Fray Bentos, in Chili. They are so large that it will be necessary to do vise some special means of removing them.
