This Company metal their Hall on
Monday night lust, i?ud elected offi
cers for the ensuing your. This ended
they were joined by the Elliotts, with
whom tli e)Vin arched to Slater's Hotel*
where n supper, equal to a feast of
the gods, awaited them. It has nil
along been known that Mr. Edward
Slater kept the finest horses in the
county, but no one knew until Mon
day night last that he intended to lay
claim to the distinction of also run
ning the best hotel that was ever
thrown open to the public in this
Burg. The tables fairly groaned
under the weight of the innumerable
gcods things upon them. They were
not filled with candies and paper
flowers, but were loaded with the
choicest of edibles. The universal
expression now is that Slater is the
man.
After the Young Americas and
their guests had finished supper,
President Dibble announced the fol
lowing as the first regular toast of the
evening:

Tho Troubles in St. Matthews.
Lewisvili.e, S. C.
Feb. 24th, 187G.
Editor Netes and Times :
It has always been a pleasure to
me, since I have arrived at the years
of discretion, to comply with the
wishes of my friends, and more e*
pccially when I can uudorstan 1 that
a fulfillment of the request is appreci
ated^ And at ihe present I feel it
my duty to stale through your
columns a few facts that have created
much excitement, and naturally great
fear. There are certainly acts that
deserve the bitterest condemnation of
every honest imin. It is lo the re
cent robberies and frequent attempts
to murder that I allude. Within the
last three weeks no less thau six or
seven, to my certain knowledge, have
occurred. The cowardly nnd infam
ous deed upon Shirlock is fresh; the
bold and dastardly net upon Mr. Rnst,
make us shudder; the unprecedented
forgetfulncss of law upon the public
highway in the mid-day against A.
>1. Fuir, still lives in uur breast; and
tho utter inhumanity of those that so
regardless of cither sex a short time
ago broke in upon Mrs. M. Reed and
not only robbed but choked and trea
ted her iu the most disgraceful man
ner, can never cease to enrage'nil hon
orable men, a:ul bring them to their
succor. Yes, it is enough to arouse
iu our hearts a patriotic cry fur
vengeance!
These recent commissions of some
of tho most aggravated crimes have
caused tho people in favor of order
and good government to call meetings
to ndopt some mcnaurcs to prevunt
similinr nets, or at least to detect.
Accordingly tho citizens of this
neighborhood, white nnd colored,
met at Lewisvillc on the 19th inst., to
tnke some action in the premisses.
It was deemed expedient that the two
races should meet separately. Accord
ingly Dr. "NY. L. Pou wns eleeted to
pi eside over the whites and Mr. G.
\V. Caldwell over the colored. The
former to-dny appointed a committee
of three consisting of Messrs. W. T. C.
Bates, W. T. Rives and W. W. Wari
namnkcr nnd the Inttcr a committee
of three consisting of Messrs; F. B.
Johnson, R. Jellerson and H. "Wal
lace. The two committees were to
unite and go to Columbia to see the
Governor in reference to the outrages
that have been perpetrated.
The committees, feeling the necessi
ty of some immediate steps, proceeded
to Columbia at once, nnd on the 21st
inst. had an interview with his Excel
lency, Gov. Chamberlain. That chief
of the state government,who is al
ways ready and willing to give satis
faction when not repugnant or un
coiisistcnt with his powers, gave them
much solace, by appointing two gentle
men ns spccinl detectives lo hunt tip
all such offenders. Tho two genllo
men arc KJ. J. Michell and F. M.
Pricket. We have no doubt hut
what they will do their duly with
credit to thcmsolvcs nnd entire sutis
fr.ction to tho comunity. They are to
act under the instructions of the com
mittees, tho two consenting a vigi
lance committee.
The citizens of the town of Bewis
ville have had one or two meetings for
tiic purpose of preparing to meet shell
criminals.
Politics had been the topic at
every meeting theretofore with two or
three persons; but that tiling has
pretty well played out, and ns lovers
of property and life, men have made
the robberies the subject of discussion
during the past two w^scks.
The great ense of John Bel ton
O'Neal Betterson, agaiust Walker IT.
Ilcnnon, et ux'ihnl has been continued
so many times, and in the mean time
keeping up much excitement, came lo
a final hearing oil the 23rd irst., bc
foro Trial Justice II P. Cookc. Messrs
Browning <fc Browning Jfpr Plaintiff,
and Messrs. Izlar & Dibble for the
Defendants. The jury returned a
verdict for $1") for Plaintiff. Piaiii
tiff having sued for ?00, I suppose
both tides will appeal.
Thero are several new buildings
going up iu our town,one of which I
am informed is designed to be a rest

[Corrcspondcndenee uf the News mid Coufifr.']
St. Matthew's, S. C., February
19.?Outrages h ve been of such fre
quent occurrence in this section for the
past two weeks ilitit a meeting of the
citizens was called some days ago, for
the purpose of adopting some meas
ures tending to a prevention of crimes
in the future. The meeting was bald
nt Lcwisvilln to-day, and the follow
ing preamble and resolutions, intro
duced by Dr. Bates, were adopted :
Whereas acts of housebreakiug and
daring robbery, accompa ieil iu ninny
instances by the most violent ill-trcnt>
nicht of the victims, arc becoming So
frequent in the country ns (o excite
just apprehension with regard to the
safely of our persons and property;
and whereas, the parties committing
these crimes have thus far escaped
detection and punishment.
Resolved, That we proceed nt, once
to organize a vigilance committee id'
twenty active ami cllicicnt white men,
with a ehuinnnn, vice chairman and
secretary.
/.VW,///, That we call upon the
belter classes of colored men to
organize si similar committee to co
operate with the whiles in cases of
necossity.
Ik'rso/vid, Tint the objects of this
organization be confined to the mak
ing of law til, close and searching in
quiry into the nature nnd circum
I stances of any crime that may be
committed, and to the timely adoption
of any ami every authorized means
and effort whereby die perpetrators
of crime may be brought to speedy
arrest ami punishment.
The organization of the committeo
of whites was immediately effected,
with Dr. W. D. Pou ns chairman; J.
E. Wannamaker, vice chairman, and
Dr. Bates, secretary. It was also
licsolcutl, That a committee of three
white nion be chosen by the white
people, end three colored men bo
chosen by the colored people, to go to
Columbia and inform the Governor of
the number and character of the out
rages committed, and request him to
appoint n detective force at this place.
The whites appointed on the com
inUtccarc Dr. William Hates, Dr. W.
W. Wnunamnkcr and W. T. Riven.
The colored committcexieu arc F. B.
Johnson, Henry Wallace and Rich
ard JcU'erson. Alternates were also
appointed. The committee will go to
Columbia on Monday next.
The colored citizens held a separate
meeting, with C. W. Caldwell as
chairman and Wesley Whittemoro
secretary, and publicly denounced all
robbers and murderers, expressed their
readiness and willingness to co-oper
ate with the whiles in an effort to pre
vent further acts of crime, and do all
in their power to bring offenders
against the laws to justice.
Thn house of a Airs. Reed was en
tered a few nights ago, and the lady
was choked by negroes and made to
give up her money and silverware.
Oil Thursday lust Mr. Ab. Snell, of
Orangeb?rg, while returning in his
buggy from Lcwisvillc, was attacked
by six highwaymen, (one white in dis
guise and five colored,) all having
double-barrelled guns, and wasetrip
jud of all the mo..ey on his person
and his valuables. One of the rob
bers was in a tree on the lookout; the
rest on the ground. This follows soon
after the shooting of Mr. ?Shirlock,
near the same place. Five qysix acts
of this kind have occurred quile re
cently, and no arrests have- been
made.
B.
Judge Montgomery Moses, of the
7th circuit, was on the loth instant,
by a unanimous vote of the House,
impeached of high crimes and misde
meanors in the conduct of his office.
The principal charfffi against him is
that he has converted to his own use
trust funds in the custody of his court.
The effect of the action of the House is
to at once suspend him from his office
until the Senate has acted upon his
care. _
