Cash, who so dastardly committed murder upon the body of Marshal Richards of Cheraw. A foul,wan ton murder, to be chronicled, not only in our own State but that of others. A murder offering perhaps capital to the North for the abuse of the South ; or a murder calcula ted to give the South a bad name, while so;many of Chesterfield's pri vate citizens, ally themselves with the Cashes, and sympathize with them in their baseness and iniqui ty. Too proud already of the op portunity, are the Norhern people of throwing shame in our faces, and this sneaking offense, will probably embolden them to renew their efforts at derision. There is a claimed panacea for the crime of murder, but too un frequently is the murderer's neck spared the noose-hole of the gal lows. The same mercy that the jurors and the officers of the law show to those guilty of murder, should be shown by the murderer himself before the committal of such an act. le never stops to show mercy to his victim, but is the recipient of it himself when brought in the courts of so called justice. Cash should be caught and tried, and if he with "malice and fore-thought" murdered Mar shal Richards of Cheraw, he should be hung "as high as Haman.'' Is the reputation of bravery, the act of dwelling in a "palatial man sion,'' the hospitality characteris tic of an old time family, or the close alliance with a multitude of good peCople to protect him from the punishment which he might dleserve. Let Justice take its course for another time. Shear Mr. Cash of all personal and fami ly recommendations, and place him on the plane of a murderer, and dleal out justice to him, the same as it should be dealt to any other murderer who might sustain very iriferior social relations. Gov. Thompson has 'left no stone uin turned' to secure the capture, of Cash, and we may rely upon him as doing all he can to bring the guilty parties to justice. Col. E. B. Cash, the father of Bogan Cash the murderer,has been arrested, and carried to Columbia, where he is now in jail. Mr. R. C. Watts, one of Cash's lawyers, pro. poses to "sue out a writ of habeas cor pus.'' Col. Cash has been guil ty of serious ihreats, stating.that the death of Richards saved him a Winchester rifle ball, and it is fur ther reported that there 'is a let ter extant' in which he says "that if Gov. Thompson offers a reward for the arrest of Bogan he will of fer a reward for the Goveruer's head.'' But Col. Cash is now lock ed up in the prison walls,as acces sory to the crime of murder, and who if proved guilty, will be hang ed if the letter of the law is car ried out. THE SENTINEL'S SUGMI STION. In last week's issue of "The Sentinel," it was suggested that the county be divided into three divisions, each to be represented on the Board of County Commiss, ioners. This suggestion we think an admirable one, and if adopted by the voters of Pickens County, will work well for its interest, and greatly to the convenience of the successful candidates. As it now is, one or more of the Commission ers is or are forced to travel over several miles in order to at tend to their business, and the interest of all sections cannot be watched as closely as they could be, if we had three divisons with a Commission er residing in each. The sugges tion regrardingy this arrangeineiit, meets our approbation, and so far as the method of voting is con cerned it may perhap' s he bet ter to allow the voters in each division to elect their own man. We ree ommend the suggestion of the 'Sen tinel' to our readers. -It was accident, coupled with nterp1rise, that brought Mr. Iallet to this place. Sheriff Blassingame me.t him on train while returning from his late trip to Baltimore af ter H-owardI Butler, under the Gov ernor's requisition. Th'le Sheriff, who lived out west for a number of years before the war', and who has since traveledi in Europe, b~e lieves that there is no place like Spartanburg, and takes pleasure in saying so, when occasion calls. Learning in the conversatior, that Mr. Hallet was on his way to South Carolina to select a site for his fac tory, lhe pointed him to Spartan burg. Tlo cut matters short, Mr. II., after examining several towns in the up-country, came to the cop clusion that the Sheriff was right, and has settled in our midst.
