NEW YOBK, May 31.-A free trade
meeting WON held in Steinway Hall, lost
night; 2.000 persons present. Wm.
Gullen Bryant presided. The feeling
of the meeting was inconsistent, aa was
evidenced by equal cheers and hisses
when names were mentioned or proposi?
tions made. The following, among other
resolutions, wore adopted:
Resolved, That with the general relax
ation of old parties, and with the grow?
ing distrust felt toward professional po?
litical leaders, the country turns for
counsel to independent thinkers ?n the
ranks of either party'; and, therefore, the
late convention at Cincinnati was re?
garded hopefully, in the trust that it
woald lay down a sound and adequate
platform of principles, and would, like
wise, nominate a candidate whose free
dom from all associations with odious
political rings, and whose able record on
questions present and future, should
give assurance that hie election would
bring with it radical changes for the
better.
Resolved, That both platform and can
didate of the Oinoinnati Oonvention
have caused deep disappointment in the
mind of tho community, and rendered
impossible that co-operation of all re
forming influenc?s, without tho uuion of
. which aucoeas is impossible.

Probabilities-Falling barometer, with
Easterly to Southerly winds, cloudy
weather and very probably rain, will pro
rail, on Saturday from the Ohio Valley
Northward and Westward; cloudy and
threatening weather over the Booth At?
lantic and Golf States; clear and plea
Bant weather over the New England and
Middle States; the wind baokiug to
Southerly and Easterly, with increased
cloudiness over the lower lake region;
dangerous winds are not anticipated.
WHOLESALE ARRESTS.-We are in?
formed that the arrests in this County
under*tho Ku Klux and Enforcement1
Aots have been upon the wholesale and
indiscriminate order since our last issue.
It is reported that about sixty fell under
tho mandate in about three days. Most
of them have been released on bail. We j
have not attempted to obtain the names,
but we have not heard that any promi?
nent citizen is among them. A marshal
and squad of soldiers, were camped for
two days in the neighborhood of Mr.
Asa Smith's plantation, watching for
Mr. Smith and* others, but returned
without making tho arrests they wished.
Many have "come io" and confessed to
belonging to the Ku Klux. We learn
that a general "puking" has been going
on in the Commissioner's office the past
week. Nearly every young man in th?
upper part of the County has either
been arrested or driven from the County,
and the "nitfht riders" are now paying
their nightly visits to the lower and
other portions. Before the job is com?
pleted, we think it will cost the Govern?
ment about 8100,000 to arrest, convict
and punish the Ku Klux of this County
alone. If it does not leave a worse
disease behind, we shall be very greatly
mistaken. We, however, don't think the
same doctors will be found here to cure

On last Sunday afternoon, about 4
o'clock, on the plantatiou of Mr. J. H.
David, four miles from this plaoe, Vioey
Buchanan was Bhot by Aleck Williams,
with a double-barrelled shot-gun-the
Bhot, almost in a mass, entering her
bead just above the left eye, and tearing
away a portion of the brain, killing her
instantly. Both the parties were colored.
Vicey, the girl who was shot, was only
eight years of age. The boy, Aleck,
who did the shooting, is nine. These
children, with others still younger than
themselves, were playing and frolicking
together, when the boy told the girl that
if sha did not do something whioh he
had told her to do, he would shoot her.
Upon ber refusing to obey him, he took
down the gun, put some powder in ont
of the tubes, put a oap on it, and firec
at her, with the above result, lt is bc
lieved that the boy thought the gun wai
not loaded, and only intended to frightei
her.-Marlboro Times.
A WOMAN WAS THE CAUSE OF HIS OVER
THROW.-On Monday morning last, oi
the plantation of Mr. M. ?. Glover, ot
Horn's Creek, Verge Ford, a person o
color, nuder the influence of a ragin
casu of red-h<?t jealousy-of the veno
moos green-eyed type-stealthily ad
vauoed upon one Dick Williams, anothe
o., who was laboring diligently in hi
cotton patch, and without one word c
warning, deliberately ?bot William
down in his trackB and then fled. A
last accounts Williams was not dead, bi
it was thought his wound would prov
fatal. A warrant bas been issued b
Trial Justice Ramsay for the arrest <
Ford, but he has not yet been appn
hended.-Edgefield Advertiser.
ONE OF THE THIEVES CAUGHT.-Bi
Sartor, one of the leaders of the gang <
colored men who have committed f
many burglaries in this County, was a
rested by two of their own race, Grec
Nioholas and Levi Keenan, on Saturdi
last. It BeemB that the story he to
some time ago, that he was "let out
the penitentiary by the authorities," w
false. He now acknowledges that 1
and a negro from North Carolina <
Caped from the penitentiary, by foroii
the bolts of their cells with a piece
wire, and that a reward of 825 has be
offered by the authorities for his arrei

COLUMBIA, S.O., May 22, 1872.
Hon. John Alexander, Mayor-DEAR
9IB: I desire to osll your atteution to thc
burial of the dead in the cemetery OD
Upper Boundary street. From those
who are conversant with the faot, I learu
that the lowest depths of the graves is
but five feet, and in many cases but four
and three feet; this bringa the bodies o
the dead within four, three and two feet
of the surface. Such a depth of eoi
offers but slight resistance to the passage
of putrid gases emanating from bodies
ia a state of decay.
The soil of this oemetery is a stiff red
clay, and it allows of the immediate
escape of the gases through the soft
covering of the soil just above the body
and if there be no large deciduous trees
to arrest their progress, they aro boru
by the wind, in whichever direction it
may bo blowing, and as we have the
wind the greater part of the year from
the West, the consequence is that these
deadly exhalations are lodged amongst
the homes of Columbia, und tuud to
breed fevers and other diseases.
The remedy for all this lies in the en
acting of a law corni oiling thu digging
of the graves to the depth of not less
than seven feet for adults, and six feet
for children, and the plauting this fall
in and around the cemetery large nam
burs of trees of the hard wood species,
such as oak, walnut, hickory, etc. Those,
aa thoy grow up, will absorb by their
roots and leaves all the gases that arise
from matter in a state of decay.
I have but recently moved into the
"Walker House," on Upper Boundary
street. Oue by one, my children are
taken down sick with a low fever of a
typhoid form, and at this present writ?
ing, two of them are Bick. I wus some?
what at a loss as to what to attribute
this sickness, but am now positive that
the cause HOB ia the cemetery, for on
yesterday morning early, and also tine
morning, the atmosphere lu my viciuity
was charged with the fetid smell that it
peculiar to grave-yards.
The welfare of the citizens of this city
demands that au early action be taken in
reference to the subject matter of tbii
communication, as "un ounce of preven
tion is worth a pound of cur?." Verj
respectfully, JOHN McQUEEN.
J^u motion of Alderman H?ge, com
munication was referred to the Board o
Health.
The following communication wm
road:
COLUMBIA, S. C.. May 28.
To Hon. John Alexander, Mayor-SIR
The respectful undersigned cibizeuso
Columbia, residing in the imm?diat
vioinity of Elmwood Cemetery, have
with great astonishment, read the severn
articles in the Daily Union regarding th
fetid odors alleged to rise from tim
placo, and fool constrained to say thu
they have not known, nor do they know
of Buoh.
Some of us have resided within
square of Elmwood Cemetery fora uua
ber of years, and now, for the first tim*
hear it alleged that odors of u fetid m
lure arising from there are eudaugeriu
the neighborhood. We ouly will sn;
further, that the party or parties wb
are spreading this report must surely 1
laboring under a mistake, or else wilful
misrepresent matters. Very respectful!.
