THE REP?BLICAW ??HDEC?E~
An Immense Crowd?Resolutions,
Ac?Speeches by Honk. E. W.
M. Magkey, C. W. Ruit/, and
W. J. WllIPPER.
Notwithstanding llic opposition
that was manifested towards the idea
of Republicans haviijg a Barbecue on
tho 4th of July, the affair turned out
to bo a grander success than its
stnunchest friends hoped for it- Re
publicans flocked into town from all
portions of the county, and we do not
think ihnt we would ho far from che
truth in asserting that with but one or
two exceptions the entire force: of the
leaders were out. From every Town
ship we greeted men who controlled
their section. So it cannot be said
that tha Barbecue was a pnrtisan or
one-sided affair. The crowd here
could elect any ticket put into tho
field.
All of the speakers who were to
have been present were not here but
those csscniblcd were not permitted to
go homo without hearing anything.
About 10 o'clock iu the morning
the procession assembicd oi\ Russell
Street and marched down to the
beautiful pino grove near Mr. Riggs'
Fprirg, where a stand had been
erected for "i-peechifying" purposes,
and which was kindly tendered to
the Republicans by that gentleman.
The Hon. E. I. Cain acted as
Chairman, and air. B. G. Frederick
ss Secretary. Before the regular
programme wns taken up a motion
was made by A. F. Browning Esq.,
that a committee of one from each
m Township be appoirj^ad on resolu
tions. This motion "was carried with
an amendment that five from the
County at large should be added.
The chair appointed tho following
as the committee : Avinger's, Jan
uary McNeol; Bookhard's, A J E

Mr. Browning acted as chairman
of the committee:
The celebration was then opened
with prayer by the Rev. Thos. Phil
lips, who uttered many eloquent and
feeling sentences.
The Rev. Dr. Webster then follow
ed with the reading of the Declara
tion of Independence, a duty which
he performed admirably. la /act
so well did he emphasize the most
eloquent passages in that splendidly
written paper that frequently burst
after burst of applause interrupted
him. ' We heard one man >ny "Well,
it was woith coining here to hear that
speech,"
The committee' on resolutions,
which had relumed in the merntime,
reported through Mr. T. K. Sasportas,
the following preamble and resolu
tions which were unanimously adopted:
Whereas, we have assembled to
g< liter lor ihc purpose of celebrating
this the or e hundredth birth day of
Oie Declaration of the American In
dependence, out of which grew tho
Proclamation of Freedom; and
whereas, we enter fully into the
spirit and scntiracbt of Freedom which
today pervades thi?t Govern mint,
and believe that wc, as Republicans,
have as much light to glorify it as
any other party, therefore, be it
Ucsairal, Tnttt we rejoice in the
fact that America has reached this
the Centennial 1 irth day of her
National Indcppnttenct; tiiat no one
will watch closer I.or honor and
" integrity in ihe future than ourselves;
jtnd that WC congratulate her upon
her prosperity hud power as a Nation.
?esolccd^That Republican par
ty is tho party of Freedom, and tba|
we:pledge..ohreelves to stnnd stead
fastly by its principles.
Itesolu tf, That tboso who opposo

Freedom and should bo looked upon
with distrust everywhere.
Jiesolvcd, That wo heartily endorso

throwu iu his way as a blow at the
d nrcst of our rights and liberties
and that wo request our Republican
friends throughout the Stato to aid
him to the utmost extent of their
ability in obtaining his scat, a posi
tion to which he was elected by a
majority of legal votes of the General
Assembly.
Hesolved, That we endorse and rati

As we said already tho above ro
port from the committee was adop
ted unanimously.
After which Congressman E. W.
M. Mackcy was introduced and made
n general 4th of July Speech. He
was followed by Solicitor Buttz, who
reviewed his course, and showed up
his bolting prociviltics to the great
disgust of the few colored men who
bad cheered him, not knowing who
he was. Buttz carried tho crowd
with him to the utter annihilation of
our (?) Congi'cssinau.
Hon. "W. J. Whipper was tho last
speaker, and orated at considerable
length on the Day. He was finally
asked whether he designed to lake
bis sent' Ho roplicd that ho did, uiUl
hoped to do so peaccab'y. His speech
however was mainly of the day nnd
what it commemorated.
A recess was here taken lor dinner,
while partaking which a severe cloud
came up and the crowd quietly dis
persed.
The Barbecue was a complete suc
cess. Not a single difficulty happened
to mar the serenity of the occasion,
and ovorybody seemed to go away
satisfied. Thorc were about twenty
fivo hundred present.
Sheriff Cain, Benj. Bins, F. Mel
lettc, A. F. Browning, B. G. Fredrick
J. H. Fordbam and others deserve
much credit for the success they
made of the affair.

The Hamburg Row.
Tbcro was a fatally dcrasterous
collision between the whites ,and
blacks at Hamburg in this State on
Saturday last, in which several lives
were lost, one white and six colored.
Several were also wounded. There
are two versions of the affair. In
order to bo fair wo give them both,
with the hope that the guilty parties
wh(?.=5oever they may be, will bo duly
punished when caught.
We give first the official report and
secondly the account published by
General Butler, who claims to have
beon misrepresented by the Anns and
Courier in its statement t>f the un
fortunate (imeule :
official account,
Tho difficulty grew out of a dispute
which originated between two white
men nnd some militiamen while par
ading on tho <hh of July, the later
refusing to break ranks for tho former
to pass. The# Captain1 was arrested
for obstructing the highway nud was
summoned before General1 Price
Rivers for trial, with General M. C.
Butler as prosecuting attornoy. On
the day of trial crowds of white men
camo into Hamburg from Edgofield
nnd elsewhere armed to the teeth.
This frightened tho militiamen, who
with their Captain betook themselves
to their drill room where they expec
ted to defend themselves as best they
could. Hero General Butler sent
him word that he would give him
half hour to surrender his arms and
waited about this length of time.
No sign of yielding having appear
cd, fire was opened (I know not
whether by General Butler's order or
not) upon tho building, anjl was re
turned by the besieged. ,
At the end of a half hour, Mervir
wether, whos was firing fr?m behind
the bridge pier, was killed by a shot
from the windows as already- describ
ed. His death exasperated his fricuds
16 the highest degree, and, tlieir fire
making no impression upon tho house,
they scut to Augusta for an old can
non, six-peunder, placing it in an ex
posed position within fifty yards of
tho house. ? 'They fired fo?r r?urids of
canister, which drove tho negroes from
their stronghold, and ended all ap
pearance of fight.
The ehief of ! police (Cook)*and
Moses Park were killed about this
time in attempting to escape. The
remainder of tho party Bccreted them
selves under several houses in the
blocks, which was now entirely sur
rounded, and in a little while all
vcrc captured, some with arms in
theiu hands. The prisoners were
marched off a hundreds yards and
compelled to lie down, surroundcr by
their gunrds. They were kept in this
manner for some time, when Atta way,
Dan Phillips, Albert Minion and
Hemp Stevens were called out singly
and shot to death on tho abutment of
tho wagon bridge, and iu full view of
a largo number of spectators. Pompey
Curry, when his name was called,
rose suddenly and dashed otT through
the high road, escaping with a bullet
through his leg,
Gen. Butler had left several hours
before this began, and had restrained
the crowd while he remained. Some
men from Augusta also protested in
the name of humanity, and were
threatened and told to attcud to their
own business. Two or three negroes
who had been cnptuied in tho street
were vouched for aud rescued by
gentlemen fro.u Augusta who had
been attracted to the spot by the
firing. One negro (John Thomas)
was shot in the backwhilo iu their
charge and died yesterday. I can
find no evidence of citizens of Augusta
haying been implicated iu the killing,
though a large number were present
in the early part of the evening and
all armed. It is affirmed and denied
with equal . positiveness that they
participated in the early firing.
The-bodies of the slain i?iS^^fi
were left lying where they fell7j?a?T
spot is marked with blood to-day.
One or two of the bodies were mutila
ted with hatchets of bayonets, Atta
way V being one of these. One of the
four negroes lived until next morn
ing, and died from loss of blood.
The feeling in Augusta among the
better class is one of unqualified con
demmation. All are agreed that the
aflnir cannot bo justified on any
grounds. It was the work of some of
tho band who had inflamed them
selves with liquor duriug the fight.
The negroes of Hamburg fled by
scores t? Augusta for protection, but
all aro 'returning to-day. A number
j of their houses were broken into and
! robbed, and tho furniture destroyed.
[ Prince Rivers' house was sacked. His
??
loss is several hundred 'dollars. The
baud hunted for him to kill him nlso,
but ho had escaped,
The feeling among the negroes in
Hamburg is that of terrifiod submis
sion. All tho killed had families,
ouc exception,'(Moscs Park,) and the
grief and distress .of tho women and
children was violent and heartrend
ing.
Total killed : Negroes, 7; whites,
1; wounded, negroes, 4; whites, 1.

[Special to the Journal of Commerce.]
Columbia, July 11.? Tho follow-,
I ing is General Butler's account of the
Hamburg militia rift:
Certain newspaper editors and re
porters hnve done me so much in
justice by false reports in reference to
tlie recent disturbance in Hamburg, I
that it is due to myself to make to
the public a statement of my connec
tion with .it. On Friday evening,
July 7th, Colonel Charles Shaw with
his brother, tho Rev. Wm. Shaw, was
at Edgcficld, C. H.,to see Mr. H. W.
Addison aud Mr. A. J. Norris and
myself, on business. After transact
ing it, Colonel Shaw said to me that
Mr. Robert J. Butlor, who lives near
Hamburg in Aiken County, desired1
me to bo at Hamburg on tho follow
ing evening (Saturday) at 4 o'clock
to represent professionally his son,
Thomas Butler, and son-in-law, Henry
Gol.son, in a trial to bo held before
Trial Justice Prince Rivers.
Mr. Butler has boon n lucrative '
client of mine for many years. I in
quired of Col. Shaw if ho knew" the
nature : of the caso to b?tried; and he
said ho knew nothing except what ho
had heard, that these two young men
had had an "altercation with a com
pany of negro militia in the streets of
Hamburg, on the A: h of July, and
that Mr. Robert Butler had complain
ed to' Rivers, the major-general of
militia nnd trial justice, and that he
supposed the trial referred.. to that
matter.' I accordingly left Edgcfiold
at 9 o'clock the next morning in a
buggy." When I had gone about
seveu miles on the old stage road, I
met Dr. Qeo. "Wise, who enquired if
I had heard tho news from Ham
burg? I replied that I had heard
nothing special, but was on my way
to Hamburg to attend atrial before
Rivers. Ho said the information had
reached his neighborhood that the
negro militia had threatened to lynch
Thomas Butler and Henry Gelson if
they were not convicted, and that
several young men had gone in that
direction.
When neaping the town, I sent
word to Mr. Robert Butler to meet
me in Hamburg, nnd give me the
facts of tba ense in which he wnnted I
me to appear. Mr. Butler did meet
me in a short time, and I there, for
the first time, ascertained the charac
ter of the trouble. I had nothing
whatever to do with tho matter up to
that time. Knew nothing but what I
have stated. My business there was
simply professional. I had nothing
about me but one law book, and had
no more idea of there being a colli
sion thau an utter stranger. I learn
ed after reaching Hamburg that Mr.
Henry Sparuick, of Aiken, was iu
town, as- tho attorney oi the colored
militia, nnd Bent for him with a view
of arranging for tho trial, or effecting
some arrangement between the par
ties. Mr. Spainick met me, and I
think will do me the justice to say
that *roy earnest effort was to provent
any further trouble, if possible, nnd
ho appeared equally anxious.
Mr. Robert Butler then interposed
and said to Mr. Sparnick that if these
men would make acknowledgments
for their abuse and maltreatment of
his son nnd son-in-law he Would be
satisfied, I said nothing about any
apology myself. It was then pro
lapsed that we hold a. conference wi*A?
tue ?hfecTs 'of ' the militia company"
and Prince Rivers, and sec if we could
not adjust matters; I made this pro
position to Mr. Sparnick, and he as
sented, saying he had influence with
the negroes, nnd he thought we could
arrange it. Ho went off, ns I sup
posed, to bring his clients; but did
not leturn. Snm Spencer, n negro
man came to Mr. Dam's store, where
I was with Mr. Robert Butler, his
son and son-in-law, and said that he
desired to see me privately.
I at once went into Mr. Davis' back
room. He said he was sorry to see so
much excitement, and I expressed re
grets at it. When he said that ho
thought, inasmuch as Trial Justice
Rivers was to hear the case, he would
profer not to be in the conference, I
agreed with tho propriety of that
position, and ho then said that the
officers of Doc Adams' militia com
pauy would meet me, but did not like
to como to meat Davis' store, as there
wero armed men there, but would
meet mo at his (Spencer's) office if
I agreeable to me. I said certainly; I
would meet them at his office, and
alone, if they perferred. Ho then
went off, and did not return. The
time appointed for the trial having
arrived, I proceeded with my clients
to the trial justice's office. Rivers
was not in, nnd after a time his clerk
went fur him, and he opened his court.
I inquired, as a preliminary question,
whether be was sitting as a civil or a
military officer. He replied that that
depended upon the facts as they would
bo doveloped; that ho was then acting
I as a peace officer. I remarked that I
j was indifferent ns to thp character of
the court, as wo only desired to arrive
! at the facts, and inquired if tho accus
ed parties would be presont.. He said
that ho did not know, but would have
them called, which his constable pro
ceeded to do from tho door. About
thi timo Sam Sportccr came in, and
said to me that ho thought if tho trial
could bo suspended the matter could
bo settled. I replied that ho must see
the trial justice, and, if he would sus
pend, I had no objections: whereupon
Rivers announced the caso suspended
for ten minutes, and I was invitodhy
the intendent of the town, a negro
man named Gardner, to the council
chamber, for the purpose of meeting
tho militia officers of Adams' com
pany. I repaired at onco to that
place, nnd remained thero about a
quarter of an hour, nobody appear
ing but Gardner, with whom I had
sorao talk as to tho necessity of some
thing being speedily done, and that I
thought the best solution of the mat
ter was that these people should de
liver up their arms as a means of set
tling the present difficulty, and a
guarantco ngaiust a future recur
rencc. He said ho knew nothing
about if, and waiting, as I thought,
long enough, I got in my buggy and
wont over to Augusta on-business,
having no relation to the Hamburg
matter; and while there was question
cd by a number of people as to the
status of affairs in Hamburg, to whom
I replied that I thought a collision
between the whites and blacks im
miuent and likely to lake place.
After dispatching my business, I was
returning through Hamburg on my
way to spend the night at Mr. Hobert
Butler's, Cwo miles iu the country,
aud leave for home early next morn
ing. When about half way across
the biidgo I met a delegation of four
negroes, Pixley, Edwards, Spencer
and Sims, who stopped mo and said
that if I would go to Spcucer's office,
the officers of tho militia would meet
me and endeavor to stop the impend
ing trouble. I agreed, went directly
to the appointed place and waited
thero some twenty or thirty minutes,
but one of the officers, Cartledgo ap
penriug. Ho said he would do all in
his power to induce the militia to dis
band nnd give up their guns, and I
believe he did. Whilst I was in
Augusta a body of men rode into the
town cf Hamburg mounted. I went
around tho street to look for Butler
and had not been gone long before I
received a messago from Prince
Rivers asking me to meet him. I
declined to do so, saying that we had
made about four appointments which
were observed by myself only, and
that he must come to me. I, however,
did go to meet bim and he asked me
if the men would give up their arms
would I guarantee the safety of the
town. I said I had nothing what
ever to do with the town, and could
give no guarantee of any sort, as I had
no command or authority; but would
say as a citizien, that, in my judgment,
if they would do that there would not
bo the slightest trouble; and he said
that hfl thought that rjght, and Would
go hnd advise them to that course!
In about ten minutes the report was
circulated that the negroes refused to
give up their ft fins, and intended to
fight, and a few minutes thereafter
the fight did ensue The negroes
were fortified in their drill room in a
brick building, known as Sibley's
corner, aud they taiscd a yell and
fired from the windows which was re
sponded to by the whites, and a ganer/
al firing took place. J?ot a very grertt
1 while after the firing began, Mr. Mc
| Kie Merriwether, a rapst estimable
t young man, was shot through the
1 head and killed.
I Not a negro had then becfi tottched,
and Merriwether's death naturally
infuriated the already excited crowd,
and they were under the leadership
of no one. ""During the firing, settle
parties, unknown to me, brought over |
a piece of artillery, and fired four or
five times at tho building, and return
ed. The firing of the negroes from
their position then ceased. I left the
crowd arresting tho negroes. How
many wcro killed I do not know.
This collision was the culmination
of tho system of insulting and out
raging of whito people, which tho
negroes had adopted there for several
years. Many things were done on this
terrible night which of courso cannot
be justified, but tho negroes sowed tho
wind and reaped tho whirlwind.
I did not attempt to accomplish by
force what I could not accomplish by
peaceful means. 1 was not the leador
of this body of infuriated men. I was
thero in the lino of my profession.
The collision was a sort of spontan
eous combustion. I thought I saw it
approaching, and did all that any hu
man being could to prevent it.
I have no objection to being saddled
with whntovcr responsibility fairly at
taches to my conduct, but I have no
idea of permitting n owspopcr repor
ters, for the sake of a sensation or any
other purpose, presenting mo as tho
lender of a mob, when I was no more
the leader and no moro responsible
than any othor porson who might
have boon thero in tho line of his
duty. Signed, M. C. Butler.

TO THfi PUBLIC,
Having become eolc owner of tho pro
perty known aa tho. Meroncy's Hotel, I
desire to .Mate to the public that the II jtel
will not be discontinued, but will, t>n tho
contrary, be kept up, if possible, better
than ever heretofore.
It was advertIncd for sale for the paltry
sum of two hundred dollars, which was not
my debt but one against Mr. Mcroney, as
security on a note for a party who failed to
meet it when due. And as suit for the
money was brought ngainst'Mr. Mcroney
and not the makers of the b?te, we thought "
it best to let the property be sold and that tu
I should buy it in; which I did and now
have titles for it. No more debts of a like
natuie can ever come against it; so my
friends may console themselves with the
assurance that Meroncy's Hotel will con
tinue to 1?; In the fettur? what it has been in'
the past the only first class house of tho- :
kind ever kept in Orangeburg. I ask my
friends throughout the County and State-.to
continue their patronage with me, and I
guarantee that they \ri II always bo woll ?
cared for, and ever leave the hospitable
