COLUMBIA, S. C. Tuesday Morning. Angntt 18,1874^ That Dibtx Business.?It really I seems high time that the wires should be relieved somewhat of the load press? ing upon them eaoh day by the reports of the disgusting Brooklyn soandal. The details of the proceedings before the/ committee have been dragging a very slow length along, but are now, probably, on the eve of completion. The publio mind in the South, which has long had but little faith in either the morality or saootity of some of the notables, is already prepared to hear, without a murmur of distrust, a ver? dick in favor of either., Silenoe seemed to Mr. Beeober prudonce, when Mrs. Tilton first told her husband that he had improperly behaved to her?p?u denoe, because of the evil to theohuroh which speech might have wrought. In this frame of mind, he signed the confession which Moulton wrote from bis conversation. Too late, he now finds that silenoe was the worst folly he oould have committed. Besides, no innocent man should suffer himself to- be black-mailed in any shape, and even a guilty man is likely to find resistance better in the end than sur? render. Beecher udmits that he do oided the removal of Tilton from the Independent and that ho precipitated his final overthrow. This helps to ex? plain Tilton's enmity, but does it ex? plain Beeoher's letters? The Spanish Bepoblic. ?The recog? nition of the Spanish republio by England, Germany and France, as an? nounced by cable, is the most notable event in reoent European affairs. That an imperial government and a consti? tutional monarohy should unite with France, a ohaotio sort of republio, to foster the growth of a veritable repub? lic, is one of those unacoountable events concerning the design ol which conjeoare is useless. It appears that Russia hesitates to join the alliance, fearing that the result will be to for? ward the growth of republicanism throughout Earope, while Austria and Italy have joined hands in the matter with the three first named powers. Having endeavored to firmly seat Amadeas upon the Spanish throne and failed, it would seem to bavo been more logical to experiment with Don Oarlos in his monarchical aspirations. At all eventB, the result has produced great rejoicing in Spain, and yesterday at Madrid was a day of mutual felici? tation, but how long the joy will lust remains to be developed in the sha? dowy future. -.-??-> SPARTANBUltO and AsHGWLIjE RaIIj boad.?A meeting of the Directors of this company was held at Spartanburg, S. C, ou Wednesday evening, 12th instant, the Hon. O. G. Memmioger being in the chair and Mr. A. O. Kauf? man, Secretary. The President read the articles of agreement upon which the consolidation with the French Broad Riilroad Company was to be effected, when, on motion of Colonel John H. Evina, it wub Resolved, That a meeting of the stockholders, for the purpose of con? sidering the measure of consolidation, beheld in Spartanburg, at the hall of the National Bank, on Wednesday evening, September 9, at 8 o'clock. Resolutions looking to the immedi? ate location of the entire line from Spartanburg to Asheville by the en? gineer corps, and requesting the Presi? dent to advertise for proposals from eontraotors to do the grading, bridging and masonry of the first or South Carolina suction of the road to the point near the Blook House, twenty three miles long, were read and adopted. Colonel Tbad. Ooleman was elected chief engineer of the company. A grand barbecue, to which the people of Charleston, Columbia, Spur taubu^g, Uuion and North Carolina are to be invited, will be given at Spar? tanburg Court House, on Thursday, September 10. Speeches will be made, and ad address delivered by the Hon. 0. G. Memminger. The first spade? ful of earth ou the new road will be ) thrown np on that day. Much onthu i Biasm prevails. murdebinq a democratic NeORO.? In Lexington, Ky., ou the 13th, a ne? gro man, named George Speurs, was shot and severely wounded, by a cou? ple of men concealed in an open lot on the opposite side of the street. The firing was done partly with a rifle and partly with a pistol; the wound in? flicted with a pistol shot. Spears hud been quite prominent on the Demo? cratic side in the late election, and his life had been threatened in conse quenoe of it. It is supposed that the parties who fired upon bim intended to assassinate him in pursuanoe of those threats. Both his assailants es? caped without identification. Nair, the Eu Ktuxed man from Midway, it is reported, has gone to Lexington for safety.

To the Editob of tub "Semi WkekliY Union:" Eoowiog your ex? cessive lovo ol fair dealing, amounting even to a weakness so great as to die? qualify you sometimes from the ability to tell the whole truth, and being witbal a great admirer of the fearless manner in which you deolare what little of the truth you are able to write out for the benefit of tho public, I write these lines for tho purpose of helping you ont a little iu your ''labor of love." I see, iu looking over the lest two num? bers, of yuur paper, that you have heard of tho outrugo perpetrated in Texus ou the 14th of June, upon the person of one Rev. Mr. Honey, whose great love for the colored population impelled him to leave his dear native home and "go to Texus," iu order to onlighten thut olaes of the population. Aud you have also heard of two casus of wrong and outrugu perpetrated in Alabama last mouth; and also, "iu addition" to those two cases, you havo heard of tho "assassination, for opi? nion's sake and in cold blood," of "Walter R. Billings, a quiet oitizen and good Republican of Sninter County," Alabama. And last of all, yon have heard of the brutul murder of Oapt. A. F. Butler, iu Augusta, on Saturday last, and still later, of the lynching of one of the parties engaged in that murdar. But 1 urn unable to learn from your paper that you hava yet beard of the outrage perpetrated by Hon. (?) Richard Bnsteed, (Dick Busthead, more properly,) Uuited States District Judge, ou the oars be? tween Montgomery und Sei ma, Ala., when he drew a pistol aud marched into the ladies'car ut the heud of about twenty of the sweet-scented eons of Africa, called negroes, for short, aud made them take and bold, for some time, possession of thut coach, in whioh wus three ladies und only one White man. I know you have uot heard of this conduct of nu official representative of "the best govern? ment the world ever saw," or your in? herent and overpowering sense of jus? tice would have driven you to publish it, and comment in proper terms on this oonduot of Riohard, notwithstand? ing he is doubtless "a quiet oitizeu and a good Republican." I cannot doubt that as soon as yon hear of it you will hasten to publish it with proper com? ments. Iam, dear sir, your quondam friend, AUG US. Brutal Murder and Swift Retri .bution.?The Augustu papers oontuiu lengthy accounts of the brutal murder of Capt. A. F. Bntler, agent of the South Carolina Railroad in that city, on Saturday evening last, by a negro named Murrel, and the subsequent lynching of the murderer. It appeurs that Capt. Butler, his wife and a niece were returning from the cemetery in a oar, and on arriving opposite their re? sidence, the car wus stopped, aud Capt. B. walked to the rear platform with his family, and found a mulutto, named Gabriel Murrel, sitting on the steps, on the side where he expected to get out. Capt. Butler requested the man to movo, aud pushed him slightly with his bund. The mulatto got up uud stood ou the platform, while Capt. Butler descended to the ground and put out his hand to bis wife to help her dov;u. As he did this, Michael Murrel, u brother of Gabriel, violently pushed Mrs. Butler down, while Ga? briel himself drew a pistol, pointed it at Cupt. Butler and drew the trigger. The weapon was discharged, und the ball struck (Japt. Butler immediately over the left temple aud peuetruted to tho bruin. He staggerud back aud fell heavily to the earth, the blood pouring iu torreuts from the wound. Mrs. Butler screamed and culled for help. Several gentlemen und u num? ber of colored people rushed to the spot, picked up Cupt. Butler, who was in oonvulsions, and couveyed him to bis residence, ut the corner of Qreeno and Marbury streets, where he was soon waited upou by several physi? cians. The assassin attempted to es? cape, but was arrested by a policeman, who was forced to use bis pistol be? fore the villain stopped. Miohuel Mur? rel wus then arrested, after slight re? sistance, and carried to tho guurd house. As there was a rumor of at? tempted iyching, the prisoners were removed to the jail, for safe-keeping. About 11 o'clock. Capt. Butler died. Shortly afterwards, u largo body of men marobed to the jail, demanded the gates to be opened, und the jailor, deeming resistance to such a force use? less, complied. A portion of the crowd entered, secured the Mnrrels aud carried tbem to the outskirts of the city, whero, after ou investigation, Miohuel Murrel, being considered the guilty party, wus shot to death, oud Gabriel wus returned to tho guard house. Cupt. Butler was a gentleman highly respected aud esteemed by all classes. The excitement in tho city was intense. Six weeks ago last Tuosduy, as tho day was drawing to \t? close, Horace Witherspoou, a wealthy farmer, of Anderson County, Kentucky, shot and killed, without tbo slightest provoca? tion and seemingly without previous malice towards his victim, Dr. L. W. Chambers, one of tho oldest, best and most respected physicians of Central Kentucky. Last Tuesday, at about the same hour of the day, aud almost ut the same spot, Horuou WithoiBpoon was shot and killed by a young lawyor of the town, whose life he himself was about to take. Witherspoon hud pre? viously killed two men, for which crimes he bad escaped punishment. A young Lenudur swam across tho Ohio from a lower Kentucky town the other night, to iutcrview his lovely Hero on the Indium?, side; but the old man stood on tbo bank with a revolver iu his hand, und Leander swam back again. Riotinq im Georgetown.?Advices from Georgetown are to the effect that the town is entirely at the mercy of a mob of riotous colored men, and that piBtols and bludgeons hays been osed freely, with threats of arson. T?o difficulty is with the colored support ers of the rival ohioftains?Jones, the Senator, and Bowloy, the member of the House. Eroh cluims to be work? ing for "reform," but what that pe? culiar reform is, cannot be discovered. Ever since the campaign opened, these shining lights of Republicanism have boon making it unpleasantly warm for tho whites iu tbut section; but tho oc? currences of tho paBt fow days go be? yond anything ever kuowu there be? fore. Oo Wednesday last, a conven? tion whs culled to nomiuuto delegates to the State Repiildiciii Nominating Convention. The Georgetown Tims explains tbut "two culls woro undo (or this convention?ono by tho Bowley ites at 12 o'clock, tbo other by the JoncsitCB at 2 o'clock. Tbo Court House was tho place. Tho 2 o'clocks woro determined to break up the 12 o'clocks, and the 12 o'clock**, if defeat? ed, to completely, annihilate the 2 o'clocks. So, at tho roll of tho drum and toot of the fife, both purlieu as? sembled at the ancient sent of justice, and entered into a meeting, or a mise? rable apology for a drunken broil or brutal row, the public peace invaded and decency violated." The bullets of the Bowley reformers proved to be too strong for the Jones reformers, and the latter incontinently fled, aftor .several of them hud beuu wounded1] Iu the melee, an unfortunate negro who was a by-stunder was mortally wounded by a pistol shot. Tho Bow ley reformers being now wnsiersoi the. situation, re-organized tho military and elected the delegates It may bu stated here that the population of tire town of Georgetown consists of 748 whites aud 2,772 oolored. Tnu popula? tion of the County is 2,773 whites and 13.3S8 colored persons. On Thursday, tho Bowloy crowd surrounded Jones' house, und fared ut it all night, wounding four meu und kicking up a muss generally. Not ouly the whole house, but tho whole fence, was completely riddled with bul? lets and slugs. The Sheriff, aided by the militia, arrested every one con? nected with this riotous proceeding. Bowley has money, hut Joues has tho militia, so it is hard to say which will win. Bowley is now in jail, together with several others. Woodbury, ouo of the colored wardens, who was also iu the row, ran oil to North Inland. The town is in a great excitement. Everybody is on tho go. It is said that they fired four shots at the United States mail; also, declared their inten? tion to kill Congressman Raiuey, he being expected to arrivo by tho mail stage. TIsa most furious porsons iu the mob wero the negro women, who were armed with rice hooks, rcythes und hoes, aud whoso laoguago was terri? ble. Joues was wounded iu the thumb. Gu Friday morning, Jones paraded through the streets, oryiug aud curs? ing, followed by a few negroes. Later iu the day, ho gathered a company of the militia, of which he is the Colonel, aud persuaded the Sheriff to take com? mand of them. Bowloy's house, which is one of tho ?ues-t iu the town, was at thin time surrounded by uu angry and excited crowd of Junesites, consisting of men aud women, who threatened death to any one who approached, swore vengeance uguinst Bowley, and that they intended to burn his house down. The Sheriff, with tho militia, then murcbed to the house, und, while the latter kept the crowd buck, the Sheriff persuaded Bowloy, us a means of saving bis life, to surrender himself and go to jail. He did so, accompa? nied by his satellites, Georgo Puwley, Antony Jaudon uud Ned Lawrence, (three oolored custom bouse officers,) and followed by a mob of Jones' ne? groes, hooting, yelling, cursing uud swearing. Tho slogan was: "Do Bow leyites hah offended our nod, on' we gwiuo to hah vengeance" By their (jod, they meant Jones, who is so re? garded by them. On Friday evening, tho women brickbattcd Bowley's house. Rmn?diiDg all the windows in and wounding a colored man who tried to stop them. A colored Methodist preacher came up soon afterward and succeeded in quell? ing the disturbance in the immediate neighborhood. Before this the Joues mob was loudly swearing that, if it could not bnrn Bowley's house in any other way, it would do it by burning the whole town. At tho meeting of tho Agricultural und Mechanical Society in Spartan borg, essays wero read, ons on immi? gration, by Muj. Melchers, of Charles? ton, und another on tho occupation und prospects of tho agricultural la? borer und propriotor, by Col. W. M. Shannon, of Kershaw. Tho committee appointed to consider the financial dif? ficulties of the society reported, re? commending that the President issue u circular, setting forth dearly tho financial condition of tho society, which circular shall bo sent to three in? fluential grangers in each Conuty, with the request that they do what they can to procure subscriptions to tho permanent stock of tbo Auxiliary Joiut Stock Company, and report to the so? ciety at its next meeting in Columbia, next fall. This report was adopted. A resolution was adopted appointing u committee, consisting of Gen. Ha good, Dr. Boso and Dr. Thompson, to inquire into and report upon the expe? diency of tho society employing a che? mist to mako qoantilavo and qualita? tive analyses of different kinds of soil. The thanks of tho society were re? turned to the citizens of Spartanburg for the oordiat reception and generous hospitality which had been extended to the members in their visit there. The Water Spout?A Baue Phe? nomenon.?We gave a brief ucoouut, yesterday morning, of a water spout which appeared at Langley, S. C, last Wednesday afternoou. We copy the following particulars of this strauge phenomenon from tho Augusta Chro? nicle and Sentinel: A dense cloud was first seen ap? proaching the pond, being apparently considerable distance up. Nothing particular was thought of it, the citi? zens of Langley being at the time occupied iu tryiug to keep cool?a hard thing to do with tbo thermometer at 100 degrees iu tho sbudo. But pre? sently a startling circumstuuee oc? curred. Tho cloud bud halted over the pond and established connection with tho latter. A genuine water pout bud iu feet been evolved, aud au immense quantity of water was rush? ing skyward through the liquid con? ductor. When first seen, tho water pout wus near the dam, and traveled slowly across the pond until it reached the railroad trestle-work, u distance of ruiie und u quarter from its starting point, when it disappeared, und the oloud moved majestically off, currying with it thousands of gullons of wuter which bud been drawn from tbo pond. The latter, covering an urea ot 000 acres, was, in fact, lowered fully two inches. The huge columu which joined the upper region to the expuuso of water below resembled a cone iu form, aud rotated horizontally with exceeding rapidity. Tbo marvelous Hpccd with which the column turned impressed tho beholder immediately with tho idea that it was associated with a whirlwind. This was must probably tbo case, ua u tremendous wind passed over Augusta from the directiou of Langloy some hours after wards. Science bus demonstrated that in almost every instance the pheno? mena deuomina'.ed water spouts are dependent upon borne form of whirl? ing wind, goueruted by some disturb? ance of the elements. Electricity, thut great force with which man bus become so intimately acquainted dur? ing the lust quarter of a century, aud yet knows so little of, doubtless hua much to do with the phenomena of water spouts. The heavens were bril? liant with iucessuut flashes of light? ning after the spout described above bad disappeared. There wus no rush? ing noise connected with it, us is tho case in some instances. The water underneath tho clouds just before tbo spout formed wus iu a statu of great agitation. Waves rolled angrily and a perceptible bulge was seen. As the cloud butted, a sort of funnel pro? truded from it und dropped slowly down, becoming larger as it length? ened, the broader portion or buse being at the surface of the cloud. When it reached u point about one fourth the distance betwi en the cloud and the pond, the bulge on the surface of tho latter rose to meet it, and the two ut length joiued, when tho water from the pond commenced usceuding iuto the cloud, which moved slowly to wurds the trestle-work. The waves iu tho water?all leaping aud tending to? wards the spoilt?aud the spout itself continued the vortical motion referred to above. The outside of tbo wutery funnel was daik and not well deliued, wbilo the centre was much lighter, boing rather of a bluish cast. This would &eem to indicate that thu co? lumn wus partly hollow, the dark por? tions representing the sides. There can be no doubt but that thu immense qtiuntity of water which was trans? ferred from the pond to the cloud was literally sucked up. Tbo spout tinully disappeared, us if it had been drawn up bodily into the cloud, while the latter quietly moved off to parts un? known. Not n drop of raiu full dur? ing tho occurrence or afterwards. The formation und subsequent motions of the spout arc described as having made up a Rpeotacle giand iu the ex? treme. Nothing of the kind was ever before seen iu that seotion. Tbo strangest part of the phenomena wus tho fact that tho cloud, so burdened with water, moved off without dis? pensing any of it iu tho form of raiu in tho neighborhood. Fatal Accident to a Bridal Party. A young ludy aud gentleman, recently married, lie at the point of death in Dover, N. J., in consequeuoe of having been thrown over a precipice.QThey had boen married at Dover, aud, with three frieuds, started ou a trip to Budd's Like, Wbild climbing tbo titauhopu Mountain, near the railroad bridge, tho polo of tho carriage broke, aud tbo vehicle rolled rapidly down the steep grade.
