TVZr TltE TRIPI.E Execution of the I.or.klearw nud EaMterllnis: for the Murder of Frank Bryce—Four Thouannd Pcroono Preoent. ~, > ’ T C5e {New* and Oourier J. Bicw!crrrBYiLLJ5, August is.—The last act ia the drama of the Uvea of three great criminals dosed in the vibration of their bodies upon the gallows here to-day. Our cowity heaves a pigh of relief from the rasg suspense of their confinement In our Jail. For many nights a strong guard has been kept around the Jail by thempunted militia belonging to the regiment of Col. B. A. Rogers, of this county, and to-day the whole regiment was present as a guard and for police duty. A. vast gathering of people from the counties of Cum berland, RlrkdMond, Moore and Robe son, in North Carolina, and of Marl- boro’, Marlon, Chesterfield and Dar* Ungton counties, in South Carolina, filled every nook and corner of the »treets and public equare. The crimi nal fame of John Locklear alias Re- vols, Neiil Locklear alias Revels and Pompey Easterling, their brother-in- law, is not..confined to a small limit, but has become almost natioqal. Thic accounts for the 4,000 individuals con gregated to-day at the place of. their execution. It was confidently expect- ed by some that the details of their many crimes would be given from their own lips to the public to-day, but in this they were greatly disappointed. The gallows was erected between the court-houso and jail within the jail enclosure. About 10 o’clock the pris oners were brought from their cells in the Jail and made to ascend to the platform of tho gallows by Sheriff Wm. P. Emanuel, and his assistants, promi nent among whom was his faithful deputy, Me. Jasper T. Easterling, who has made the safekeeping of these criminals bis special caro ever since they were placed in his charge. They were ail seated upon the platform and the opportunity given them to say anything they deoired. John Locklear began first and occu pied about ono hour in a disconnected harangue about bis reasons for telling nothing of the crimes within his know ledge and of his religious prospects— occasionally- breaking forth into ex hortation, quoting.or rather mis-quo- tlng, fragments of Scripture, and rant ing and raving lu nonsensical language most of the time. He said he had no doubt he would go safely home to Heaven, and begged his relatives (who were permitted within the jail enclo sure) to meet him there. Neill Lock lear seemed tho most affected of any and could hardly say anything. He said he felt that ho was prepared to die. Pompey Easterling spoke after the same manner, and warned all who crowd dispersed without any disturb ance whatever. • Our little community has been muob shocked and saddened by the death of Mr. C. H. Huckabee, a promising young lawyer, who was admitted to the bar last February. He died of peritonitis at G o’clock p. m. yesterday. He assisted in the defense of the Lock lears In July ultimo, and while they were swinging upon the gallows bis corpse was lying at the hotel. Ton days ago he was in fine vigor. His parents deserve and have the sympa thy of this entire community in their sore bereavement. ' Pfjc-Dee. : Aconnm'hiitivn Train, Sundays ExtrpUd. Lcavc Charleston - Arrive at Augusta - . .

The ropes were 1 then tied to the baags, and the last effort was made to get them to give some information regarding the murder of Daniel and Nc!ll McLeod in Cumberland, N. C., in May, 1S70. But no word of revelation escaped their lips. Neill and Pompey would have told about It, it Is believed, had it not been for John. His influehco over them prevailed to the last. Ho would warn them against telling anything, and they seemed to fear him even upon the gallows, and obeyed. And, by the way, I would state that Mr. John McLeod, the son of Neill Mc Leod, was -hero and recognized John Locklear as the man who shot him when his father and uncle Daniel were killed at the time named in Cumber land, N.*C. Mr. John McLeod carries in his body thirty of the forty-one shot put In him by John Locklear on that occasion. Pompey Easterling ealled for Mr, Isaac E. Sheffield from Moore county, N.

Kemedle* for Hard Times. [New York San.] Messrs. Hewitt and Rice, of tho Con gressional Committee investigatingtho cause of the present business depres sion, held a four hours’ session on Mon day, August 26th, and heard sugges tions from Charles H. Marshall, Robt. F. Austin and George Walker. The following was read from a postal card sent to the committee : “ Mb. Hewitt : Cannot you use your talents to a better purpose than to ridicule the laboring man ? You have made it a point to gather up all the crazy men of New York and show them up as a sample of American mechanics, but we see through your contemptible game. You are a Traud, a bad coun terfeit^ and every Intelligent man can see your game. , John Petebe.” In reply Mr. Hewitt said that all who desired to speak were heard dur ing the first week of the committee’s session, and any American mechanic who desired to beJieard could send In his application and he would receive attem Ion. The committee had no bias, and, although they might differ from some of tho speakero, they merely de sired to get at the facts. The commit tee had no power to reform society, and the next Congress could not do it if It wished. The committee proposed to sit in New York until Wednesday, and would then go to Pittsburg and Chicago, where they worrid be happy to hear both employer end employed. Mr. Charles H, Marshall, one of the owners of Black Ball line, gav¥>the committee his views on the subject of the decline of American ship building Tbo main cause assigned was the su perior advantages of the English iron ships which have replaced tho-Ameri can wooden vessels, and which our ship owners are debarred from using by our navigation laws. He acknow ledged himself to be a *' bloated bond holder and a small ship ownqr,” say ing that his profit on shipping now was about one-half of one per cent,, so that Ida ships are kept afloat mainly for the benefit of those who are employed ns laborers in running them. The ship owner, he thought, is very much in the position of the man who had bold of the tiger’s tall—he would be killed if ho let go, and It was death to hold on. .Mr. Hewitt led him to express at length his views on the tariff, the labor question, and tho currency. He ex pressed himself to be a Free Trader, and he gave as his panacea for the present trouble the following : Reform the oufsrency and give stability to com mercial transactions; simplify taxa tion and adjust the load to the shoulr dera of the people - r reduce the tariff, and establish a tat iff for revenue; abolish the navigation laws ; give us an economical administration of gov ernment in city, State, and cation. He opposed Government employment of the people, and expressed the opinion that the main cause of our trouble is that we are now engaged in the uncom fortable duty of paying our debts, or, as tho workingmen express it, “We are working for a dead horse.’’ As an illustration of the difference in cost of work on ships In this country and in England, ho said that he had paid $2,800 for coppering a ship in flew York, and he had been obliged to pay only about $1,800 in England. -, Air. Robert I?. Austin wa» the next speaker. He denounced the railroad companies because they monopolize so many industries. He said : “ A man can’t buy a piece of pie between here and Chicago without paying tribute te a railroad company.” He thought that the railroad companies had ho busi ness to be engaged" in car building, hotel keeping, and coal mining. He drew a distinction between Mr, Van derbilt and Mr. A. T. Stewart by say- lag that the latter acquired bis wealth without getting the aid of, legislation. Mr. Hewitt referred Mr.. Austin to the Attorney-General of the State for his remedy. In conclusion, Mr. Austin expressed the opinion that food and clothing ore about aa cheap now as they were In I860, and that the laborer can buy about as much with a given sum now as he could then. Air. George Walker, Vice-President and Manager of the Gold and Stock Telegraph, w^o, Jim been writing and studying economic questions tor twen ty-five years, attributed the business depression to the o not be made available for business. He condemned the theories of green back inflation as being highly detri mental to the Interest of all classes. He quoted the present condition of things in the Argentine Republic as a sample of tho effects of Irredeemable paper money, fluctuating Id value eve ry hour. Mr. Walkor'k conclusions were that there should be a careful supervision of all corporations by the Government, a prompt resumption of specie payments, and a gradual reduc tion of the tariff. > The low rate of in terest now prevailing would gradually compel capitalists to invest their money and set the unemployed at work.

The en(H j by tho fai j uro ot guilt of tho Radical leaders was HIGH TIMES. t * • * V Am Ex-Governor Refnseo to Pay His Fare and I. Put OIF the Train. Conductor Nat Terrell, of tho Bluffs Road, well known In St. Joaeph, had a racy adventure Wedneiday morning with ex-Governof Scott and family, of South Carolina, & shott distance out from Council Bluks. Jdst after the train left that city, Conductor Nat. Terrell started through the train to collect fares. Among the passengers was a well-dressed, substantial look ing gentleman, with his wife and a son about 17 years of age. Tho conductor approached the gentleman and de manded his fare, whereupon the gen tleman pulled out and presented a scalper’s ticket of the kind known as contract tickets. Tho pass was not transferable, and the conductor know that the man presenting It was not tho one to whom it was Issued, whose name was written on it. He told the gentleman that he could not take it, and that he must pay his fare. This the passenger refused to do, and the conductor said that ho would have to put him off, although he regretted the necessity. Some hot words were pass ed between the parties, and the wife of the gentleman lost her temper, inform ed the conductor that she was from South Carolina, and dived down into her gripsack after a revolver. The conductor succeeded in allaying her chivalrous South Carolina wrath be fore she eould shoot him qn the spot, and the train just then refching n sta tion, he telegraphed to the superin tendent of the road at St. Joseph, sta ting the case and asking what he must da The superintendent replied, di recting that the combative South Caro lina family be put off unless they paid theix fare. When the train started, tho conductor again etated to the South CagDl ioa gentleman that be would have to put him .and his family off, unless the fare was paid. This so enraged young South Carolina, son of the eld erly one, that ho Jerked the revolver out of his mother’s gripsack, and might have done serious work then and there, but he was caught by a number of passengers and disarmed. The train soon reached Bartlett, and Mr. Terrell told the South Carolinians that they mu»t get off there or pay their fare. They refused to do either, but the head of the family said that they would get off if the conductor would take them by the arm and put them off forcibly, so to speak. This was laying the predicate for a lawsuit, but lawsuits can't delay mail trains, so the conductor took the father, mother and son and bundled them off on to the platform at the depot, where he l»ft them shaking their fists at the de parting train, and threatening nullifi cation, secession, Fort Sumter, States rights and Wade Hampton. They are said to be ex-Governor Scott and fami ly, of South Carolina, taking a Sum mer tour through the Northwest—St, Joseph Herald. ~ Too Mach Anaesty. Some time since the News and Herald remarked that there bad been too much amnesty. It was constrained to observe this when it saw the prose cution of leading Radicals coming to nought The present seems to be an opportune moment for repeating that remark. The spectacle of Smalls, a condemned criminal, receiving a rb- nomination to Congress; Swalls, a noted thief, running rampant over Wil liamsburg, and Elliott, a revealed crim inal, organizing a party u State chair man, is well calculated to disgust the average Carolinian with amnesty. The recent correspondence In the News and Courier between Col Maurice, of Williamsburg, and Mr. Dibble, of the Investigating Committee; of the last Legislature, has revealed a startling fact Swalls has received a promise of full and complete amnesty lor past crimes and ta now as free to run for office as Governor Hampton himself. Conscious of this, he openly defies- the Democrats, and boasts that he will known all along. Tho committee was put on their track to send them Into the penitentiary, not to give them free pardon. ** ,. To outsiders tho following appears to have been the course of tho Investi gation: First, Mosoe and Woodruff and Jones were pardoned for telling on the minor thieves. Then tho minor thieves were "amneeted” for telling on Patterson. Then Patterson was left off for voting to seat Senator Butler. It nqy benefits have accrued from the Investigation they have been kept marvelously close. ~ The people of South Carolina are lung suffering and kind, but they can not fofgtvo everything, pnd we are much mistaken it they do not raise a howl yet over these Inyestlgatlons.

This is what Mr. Mule calls a strike. He thought he could get all the corn ho wanted now. Presently he wanted water. He didn’t get It though. Ho wanted corn. He didn’t got that. He went to bed that night without his supper. Next day he didn’t have to work ; he didn’t have to oat, either* All he had to do was to stand and think. He couldn’t imagine why that master of hts didn’t come to feed him. Tho next day was tho some, and the next. Before that mule got anything to eat again he had grown so gaunt and gentle that he was willing' to keep his heels on the ground. The strike had ended.
