about mu way b*;wwea the residence
of Capt. O. Lajeune and bis own, he
*a* fired on fit six negro men, who
were lying In ambush Waiting for him.
Flee of the negroes had double-barrell
ed gubeand one a musket. Dr. Arch
er was o» horseback and riding on the
top of the levee. iThe assailants were
concealed behind two very large cot
ton wood trees, standing within a few
feet of the levee, and allot the negroes
fired aa the doctor was passing these
trees, his clothes being riddled with
bullets and ho was thrown from his
horse, but fortunately jiqt jauch ln-
.Jared.
Tbs assassins took to tbelr heels,
running In different directions, but It
was ascertained who the parties were
who had attempted the foul act, ancl
on Tuesday morning a large number
of citizens collected together at Itao-
oourol, where the act wap committed.
Ajury of twelve of our fieet citizens,
the most of them , gray haired men,
was chosen, who after a lengthy and
thorough examination found the pris
oners, five In number, one having
made his esca; n , guilty of having shot
at l>r. William B. Archer with Intent
toklF
Many witnesses were examined, ail
eolored, an‘] two of the prisoners were
allowed to make their statements,
having requested permission to do so.
They stated that they Intended to kill
Dr. Archer on Sunday night, and after
making sway with bfin they were to
kill Mr. O. Lejeune, Mr. William Pio-
quet and Mr, Prank Burton. Thoysta
ted also that they belonged to an or
ganized club, the object of which was
to kill the leading white men in the
country anttostablisb a nation of their
own; they gave the names of many
members, the names of their president,
vice-president and a general expose of
their plans.
After the examination closed the
prisoners wers conducted to a shady
grove, by all tbe citizens present, and
* ter mature deliberation It was resolv
ed to 4urn them over to the law.
Tbe prisoners were placed In charge
of a party an(f started In tbe direction
Ofthecourthouse, but bad not pro-
cesded far before they were interrupted,
taken by force and hung, all live of
them.
Fatal ^hUkey BaJAtag.
OzxmnriLLK, 8.0., June 10.—On yes
terday Special Deputy Harbais H. P.
Kane, Wm. Durham, O. W. Mooee and
X. P. Soruggs left Pickens courthouse,
proceeding In the direction of the up
per pert of the county In search for
Lewis R. Redmond, the outlaw. They
went to tbe house of Amos Ladd,
hweoty-two miles distant, where they
understood be was staying.
The two deputies first named ap
proached the house of Ladd, leaving
the others somewhat In the roar to
keep a lookout. As Kane and Dur
ham neared the house they observed
Ladd standing In tbe door armed to
the Ua:,h and ready to shoot. Instant
ly he pulled trigger at tbe revenue of
ficer, but his gun only snapped. Kane
simuiiaueouly shot Ladd, inflicting a
wound from the effects of which It Is
seportedhe died.
lounodlately afterwards Kane and
bis associates left the place, and the
former went to Easly and theqpe to
Greenvltfo, where he obtained a ve
hicle, abd proceeded to return to Pick
ens When he met. Durham, Moose and
Scruggs on the way. The four men
then came to the city and surrendered
to Sheriff Gilreath, who placed them
kt jail. They fuel safer here tha n n
Pickens jail. "

Bdwarde, the former clerk of the
court, was also examined at some
length and furnlsbed Important tes
timony with regard to what are known
as the ''Little Joker” tickets fraudu
lently stuffed In the ballot box at pre*
clnct IS, Leon county. Edwards mads
a clean breast of It, and confessed
that he pu(i the tickets in the box and
filled np the poll list with floticious
names to correspond to the number
of ballots In the box.
Judge Driggers, of Baker county,
was also examined, and made a com
plete confession concerning bis Impli
cation In tbe fraudulent return from
that county. About twenty witnesses
yere examined In an during the
seven days that the committee were
in Jacksonville, and the testimony ob-
rated Is reported as being highly cor
roborative of the facte secured con
cerning the electoral fraud In that
State test winter. It Is regretted that
the committee were not able to remain
longer in Charleston.—News and Cou
rier.
PouTEKsss.—Nothing readers a man
more popular than true politeness.
A man of very ordinary attainments,
where this element is largely in tbe
ascendant, will outshine great learn
log connected with clownish manners.
But what Is true politeness? This
question we think Is often miscompre
hended. It is not to ape tbe gentle
man in low bowe and unmeaning
scrapes. Boms animals far excel man
In this respect without any attempt at
thisvirtue t True politeness In our
opinion consists In rendering oneself
agreeable by making everyone In the
company happy. The art cannot be
artificially acquired. It must flow
spontaneously from a truly benevu*
lent mind.
