Passing to the Ned Tennant difficulty,
he asBonred tbat it all proceeded from
hatred of that patriot, because he was
elected to the State Radical Conven?
tion. It had been said that he pro?
cured persoea of his own party to
shoot into his boose, and give him an
exouee for'?"disturbance, bnt Senator]
Cain was finally convinced it was three]
white men who did it. In confirma?
tion of thie impression, as well as of
his account of the Bidge Spring mat?
ter, he clii^cJ luni ei. Gov. iSuubam
agreed with him. The next event in
order upon which be expatiated was
what ha called a peace policy between
himself and Mr. Paris Simkios on one
aide, and certain Oonaarvative repre?
sentative gentlemen on the other. Its
terms bad not been carried out. Ten?
nant bad delivered up the arme opob
bis adrioe, and in pursuance of agree?
ment that hie and bis followers' right*
would be rsapeoted. But the next
step' was a eerie* of attempts to intimi?
date voters by firing off gens, riding
through the OouTSty/^af The ooose
qoeaee was-' itnat in Curryton, the Ra?
dical j^oriry fell from about 400 to
lo. ^e?Wo dwelt<upon ether enormi?
ties/# "this aort, as he considered
them; at the polls.
Coming down to more recent events,
hefonud .?raat laoit witb Dr. Barker,
one of the ltepresentatives from Edge
field, and ft Republican, lor saying, as
be bad done, that be knew nothing of
any considerable trouble in the County
arising from proscription. He was in?
dignant at aaoh a statement. Colored
Republicans?be did not say bow many
or who?are refused all employment
and stripped besides of ell their
means. As the necessity of his theme
demanded, be wss compelled, appa?
rently with reluctance, to admit that
he. the Senator/ bad lately returned
the arms, of whioh he bud been de?
prived, to Tennant. For this renewal
of the strife, or incentive to its re
newel* be gave no reason save that
other companies in the County had
arme! Hefe be mentioned what be re?
garded as a propbetio warning on the
part of Tennant. He had said that
when be delivered theae arms up, he
and bis company would all be in dan?
ger of being mnrderad. The circum?
stances now occurring in Edgefleld,
Mr. Cain interpreted to be the fulfill?
ment of this propbeoy. At this stage
of bia speech, Ibe motives of tbo 8ena
tor in making U befia to dewn kpa 11?.
He isjl tbatjthe f oWa Of tie Go?
vern ur," in retiring the arnee to be
surrendered ojjibld dot be jkeli^d, al?
though bis motives were, 00 doubt,
good end in tbe iotereate of peace.
The Governor was, evidently, his ob?
jective point.
Senator - Donaldson, of Greenville,
objected to the preamble to the resolu?
tions, because it took fur granted tbe
very ooodition of things wbioh tbe
oommittee to bo appointed under them
were to investigate and report upon.
He wonld favor the inquiry, but did
not regard it proper to forestall tbe
busineaa of this committee, or to ac?
cept ex parte statements as the baBia of
its action. Senator Dunn, of Harry,
while favoring, tbe appeiutment of tbe
committee, felt the same difficulty and
=orei to strike est tbe preamble.
Senator Whittemore thought it en?
tirely proper, end delivered e regular
political harangue, in which, among
other things, he pictured tbe conse?
quences from proscription, should it
become general, to be the Iosb of the
popular minstrelsy. Patriots would
forget how so sing, aa be already ap?
peared to have forgotten how to quote,
"My oountry, 'tis of thee,
Sweet land or liberty," Ac. Ao.
Tbe opsbot of the matter wua that
Senator Dunn's motion to striko oat
tho preamble wae lost by a atriot party
vole, there being sevcu for to twenty
one against it. Upon the adoption of
tbe joint resolution, tbe vote was the
Hanau?twenty-one for. smvau i.gajnat.
lu the House, tbe resolution wbb
adopted without debate, one-half of
tbo members apparently not roting.
We bave thought it proper to give a
detailed account of tbia Senatorial
apirt. We arc willing to believe that
fldr. Cain ia sincere in some of tbe
feuliug bo expressed. We hope, even,
that ho means well. Bat the diffi?
culties which have col mi oat ed in
Edgefield, if we ere to credit the state?
ments wo get, cannot be remedied by
any euch proc^&oa as bo and Mr.
Paria SixesltusV whoa* ^teoerity we
woald not questiou,'either, have de
viaed. ' Tbe causes were not beyond
their control at one time, and had
they, and other Co? oty leaders of tbeir
party been mpru ro-pderaio, . jusler and
larger minded, they might bave pre?
vented muob of what all must now
seriously regret. Having been mixed
np in events there, being implicated,
more or lees in sowing tbe wind which
haa bred a whirlwind, it will be more
appropriate for tbem to leave it to
some one else to pilot tBe ship in this
storm. Tho Governor, whose good
pnrposea Mr. Gain profeasedly com?
mends, while in the interest of a olique
in bis party, be oondemns his policy,
we submit, is more competent to take
tbe helm. He is folly alive to tho
seriousness of tbe situation and fully
capable of dealing w?lb i* ?rissly, dis
creei ly and firmly. He can embrace
all the population and all the perilous
circumstances in bis view, while Mr.
Cain can see only one class, one race
and one sort of politics, and only
those considerations which go to bob
tain a preconceived, narrow party und
race view. To the Governor let all
good citizens look io this critical
emergency. We want peace, not
strife; <juiet, not continued turbu?
lence.

fiud them among the merchants und

benefit, in every way, a city like

Tbe case of tbe Staters. ex-Uovernor

surer J. Li. Humbert, for breach of
treat, with frandolent intent, was
called Monday in the Oraogeburg
Court of General Sessions.
Black Baudits?Nam Tm&R to
tb? FBoirr.^Some months sinoe, tt
will b? recollected, * negro mUliia
aeptaln, n*med Ned Tennant, gave the
people of EMgefleld CooTrty oonaidera
ble trouble, * bloody oouf?ot bsioe at
one time imminent. Fortunately the
threatened war was averted by the enb
mission of Tennant and tbe snrrender
of the arms in possession of his com?
pany to tbe Stute authorities. The
Oounty then subsided into its wonted
state of qaiet, and tbe good citizens
hoped that there would be no further
trouble. Tennant was known to be a
desperate and evil obaruoter, but no?
thing was apprehended from hi tu while
bis adhereuts remained disarmed. Un?
fortunately this contiuued but a short
time. One bright day, not many
weeks sloce, Tenuaut marched bis eu
tiro oompany iuto the village of Edge
field, where the arm**, which bad been
deposited with the proper authorities
to insure peace and tranquillity, were
distributed to the men by Ool. Cain
without warrant or authority. The
[ negroes then mmui home, and tbe for?
mer nightly drills which had caused
the previous outbreak were resumed.
It was clear to every one that tbe
blacks meant mischief. It is tbe right
of every free people to protest against
I wrong, and the citizens of Edgefield
availed themselves of the privilege.
\ meeting was held, and a oommittee
?onsistibg of Qen. M C. Butler, ami
Messrs. Mealiug. Sbaw, Butler, Porter
and McKie, appointed to wait on Oov.
Chamberlain, in order to endeavor to
induce bim to take action in the inte?
rest of peace and good order in Edg~
field County. Ou tbe 5th of tbe pre?
sent mouth this committee called ou
Gov. Chamberlain, at Columbia, the
capital of the State of Sooth Carolina.
Tbey represented that Tennant, the
military captain, bad recently marched
his oompany to E Igefield Court Uouho
and recovered the arms, with many
rounds of ammunition, which they had
been made to give up borne time ago.
Ho had iuetituted drill* and was march?
ing about tbe country, mostly at night,
and all night in the Currytown neigh?
borhood. Alarm bad upread in nil di?
rections. A public meeting had been
held, and this committee appointed to
vepresBot the dauger to th?? Governor,
aud to request that ho issue an order
to have the arms withdrawn und placed
in safe keeping. Judge Carponter wus
present at tbe interview, and pro
noonoed the retention of the arms be
longing, to tbe State by tbe milttiameu
oh nut Warranted by law and a viola?
tion of the public ptMtce. Governor
Chamberlain thanked the committee
for tbe good> judgment and discretion
of their aotfbn, and promised to issue
an order to Tenuaut and his oompany
to return tbe arms without delay. The
whole proceeding bad been entirely
without bis knowledge or consent.
The oommittee retired satisfied with
what tbe Governor said, and gratified
at tbe success of their mission. Mark
the resolt. Tennaut determined to be
revenged, and accordingly devised an
atrooiooa plot, of which Gen. Butler,
the chairman of the oommittee, was to
be the victim. On tbe night of the
13th instant, while Geu. Butler waR in
Augusta, bis residenoe iu Edgefield
County, about sixteen miles from this
city, was destroyed by fire. Tbo Gene?
ral's wife and children, who were
asleep at tbe time, barely escaped
with their lives.' Everything in the
house was oonsumed. Circumstances
pointed unerringly to tbe faot that an
incendiary bad been at work. A pile
of li&htwnod abeviogs und etiler com?
bustible materials found under one
corner of tbe burning building, showed
how the fire bad been communicated.
A negro man bad been seen larking
about tbe premises during tbe day
aud suspicion was at once directed to
bim. On tbe oigbt of the 15th a
party of gentlemen oalled at tbe bouse
of the suspected negro, who, however,
fled at tbair approach. Several shots
were fired at him. but apparently with
ont effect. He was afterwards arrested
and confessed that he bad set fire to
Gen. Butler's bouse, having been
hired to do so by Ned Tennant. Upon
this information Gen. Butler bad a war?
rant issued Monday for Tonnant's ar?
rest. Tbe warrant was placed in the
hands of oocstables, all colored, who
proceeded in quest of Tennant. Tbe
latter, boWever, resisted, he and bis
partisans drew their weapons on the of?
ficers and declared tbeir determination
not to be arrested, either by white or
blaok. Tbe constables appealed to Gen.
Butler for aid. The General in response
to the appeal went with eight or ten of
bis neighbors. Tuesday, to asaiat tbe
officers in making tbe arrest. Tboy
searobed some time for Tennant, and
were finally fired upon by that despe?
rado uud bis adherents, who were iu
ambush at the roadside. Gen. Butler
and his party returned tho fire, and
the negroes fled, succeeding in making
tbeir escape. Ouo of tbe shots fired
by tho negroes struck a tree over Geu.
Butler's head. Tenuaut was seen
among tbo party in ambush. Tuesday
night, oh Mr. Josopb Merriwetber was
leaving Dr. McKte's house, too or fif
teeu shots were tired at him. Dr. Ma
Kie himself was called tosomo negroes
who were wounded in tbo skirmish re?
ported above. On bis return be re?
ported that he bud seen three wounded
negroes, two of whom were mortally
hurt. As he was returning along tbe
highway, be was fired opon twice. One
of the balls went through bis pants
near tbe hip, and tbe other struck his
horse back of the saddle, seriously
woonding the animal. When it is re?
membered that Dr McKie bad gone
to see the negroes at tbeir own request,
and that it was on his retnrn from this
errand of mercy, that bis life was put
in anoh danger by tbe friends of tbe
woaoded men, tbe savage oharaoter of

Theae deservedly oeiebrated and popu?
lar medicines have effected a revolu?
tion in the healing art, and proved
the fallacy of several maxims which'
bave for many years obstructed the
progress of medical science. The
false supposition that "Consumption
is ioourable," deterred physicans from
attempting to find remedies for that
disease, aud patients afflicted with it
reconciled themselves to death without
making an effort to escape from a
doom whiob they supposed to be una?
voidable. It ia now proved, however,
that Consumption can be cured, and that
it has been cured in a very great num?
ber of oases (some of them apparently
desperate ones) by Sehenok'e Pulmo?
uio Syrup alone; and in other cases by
the same medicine in connection with
Sehenck's Sea Weed Tonio and Mao
drake Pills, one or both, according to
the requirement* of the case.
Dr. Soheuok, himself, who enjoyed
uninterrupted good health for more
than forty years, was supposed, st one
time to be at the very gate of death,
bis physicians having pronounoed bis
case hopeless, aud abandoned him to
his fate. He was eured by the afore?
said medicines, and, since bis recovery,
many thousands similarly affecte^A
have used Dr. Sobenck's preparation***
with the same remarkable success.
Full directions accompany each,
making it not absolutely necessary to
personally see Dr. Schenok, unless pa?
tients wish their inngs examined, and
for this purpose be is professionally at
