WINNSBORO,8. C. THURSDAY, JUNE 13,. 1878., E. MEANS DA TI8, EDiTOR. JAO i. I 1YXOLDb, AsMOCIAT EDITOR. TuE caoPs throughout the Union are said to be very promising. EvERY NOW AND eItn1 }alyes resur rects an old fossil and puts him on guard. Gan. John C. Fremont Lias just been appointed govern or of Arizona. THE WOMEN OF Virginia are going to pay off the State debt. They are already collecting butter, eggs, poultry and pin-cushions in furthi erance of their patriotic design. THE DEMocnvs in Washington are well pleased with the results of the Potter 'Investigation thus far, in spite of the howls of Radicals and the lugubrious predictions of Aleck Stephens and old Key. THE LATEST reports from Oregon give the State ticket to the Repuh licans, the Congressmen and the Legislatu,, and corsc(quently a United States Senator, to the Democrats. Pretty good. Every Democrat in Con.ress counts. THE TOWN OF Sulumervillo elected the Republican ticket in the muni cipal election on 'rTuesdlay, by seven teen majority. Two V Democrats were on the ticket. This is one of the straws showing how the Radical wind blows in the lower country. THE POWERS oF Eurol)o have agreed to hold a Con.ress for the settlement of the Eastern question, and war is therefore 'temporarily averted. As it is impossible, how ever, to please everybody', it is not unlikely that the Congress will break up in a row, and England and Russia will have a cha:le of knocking each other to pieces after all. ONE OF THE i.11port.tt losses incurred by the peoplo of Rock Hill, at the recent fire, was the destruction of the office of the lampton. herald. This was a sprightly and wide awako paper, and it could not but exert a good influence over the people, besides being a convenience as a in ediua of expressing their sen ti hen's. We would be most happy to see it again among our1 (exchangesI. The Indlians andl the Army. The Indiar,s are said to be on the war path again. HIIrrowing accounts come of t,he outrages they are expected to be guilty of. It is suggested that these sensa tional rumors always conmc aboul,t lhe t.imo the army bill is under consideration by Congress. And it is hinted that they are not wholly unconnected with politics. By the way, the Senate has refused to accept the House bill reduicing the army to twenty thousan d men. Senators Bayardl, Butler, Gordon and a few other Democrats voted with the majority. It seoms a pity that the Democrats in Congress cannob agree uipon something, They always have enough recalci trants to allow Radical measures to prevail in important matters. One prop)lo... sition4 intended to allay Indian (dis. turbances is to place the Indian Bureau under the WVar Department insteadl of the Interior. It is thought that if t,he thoft.s of Indian agentis and miissionarics can be stopped the Red Skins will become pacified. The army officers, it is contended, whlijl they may be some what harsh, will nevertheless be honest, and this is what the Indians want. This chango secured, the Democrats .may succeed in redu'cing the army and diminish ing the expenses of government. SOMETHING "Esm,"-"Anything riew or fresh this morning ?" a re portet' asked in a railroad office. "Yes," replied the lone occupant of the apartment. "What is it ?" queried the re norter, whipping out his note hok. Said the railroad man, edging toward the door: "That paint you are leaning against." Such are the loads a niews5ppr man must bear.-Keokuk Consti FI'V ASSASSINS LYNCIIID. A Diabolical Pict to Establt9h Negro Suprurneacy in Louisiana A special to the New Orleans Demo crat, dated 3.iyou Sara, June 6, tells that en Sunday night, June 2, as Dr. Wm. B. Archer was returning to his home from the house of hi,- neighbor, M-tjor Bur ton, about 10 p. in., about midway between the residenco of Capt. O. Lej-uno and his own, he was fired on by six negro ten, who were lying in ambush waiting for him. Five of the negroes had double b trrel:od guns and one a musket. Dr. Aicher was on horseback and riding on the tap of the levee. The assassins were concealed behind two very large cotton wood trees, stand ing within a few feet of the levee, aand all of the negroes fired as the doctor was passing these trees, his elothes being riddled with bullet holes and he was thrown from his horse, but fortunately not much injured. The assassins toolc to their heels, running in different directions, but it was ascertainodt who the parties were who had attempted the foul act, and on Tuesday morning a large number of citizens collected togeth er at .Raccourei, where the act was committe. A jury of twelve of our best citizens, the most of them gray h:ire. I men, was closen, who after a lengthy and thorough examination found the prisoners, five in number, onn having made his escape, guilty of having shot at Dr. Wm. B. Arch - er with intent to kill. Many witnesses were examinod, all colored, and two of the prisoners were allowed to make their state ments, havintg requested permission to do so. They stated that they in ten le.] to kiil Dr. Archer on Sunt.y night, and after making away with hit t hey were to kill Mr. 0. Le jeune. Mr. William Picquot and Mr. Frank Burton. They stated also that they belonged to an organized club, the object of which was to kill the leadig white men in tho county aid establish a nation of their own ; they gave the names of many mnenbers, the names of their presi. dent, vice-president, and a general expo cse of their plains. After the ex:aunination closed the prisoners were coiducteld to a shady grove, by all the citizens present, and after a mature deliberation it. was resolved to turn them over to the law. 'e prisoners were placed in charge of a party and started in the direction of the court house, but had not proc ceded far before they were intorruptod, taken by force and all five of thoe.n hung. .4 AWYE 'RS AS LE GISLATOIRS. It is quito fashionable in South Car.:liia, just now, to condemn Law yers as not adapted to become leg istoi,I. S"o11 go o far as to say that hawyer and liar are conver'tible termsi, whlile not a few believo the conien1ces of the members of the frat ernuit,y to be as conventional as "'female fashion" and as elastic as India rubber. It would be well for those who indulge in thiis wholesale denunciation, to remnember that though tricksters andi rascals are found att the ba:r, they don't all enter im prnofessi mn, nor is it made up of sneh . an A it is zaltogether priobable tha~mt a fair investigation into the imonda statuis of thle fatrmers' of the S tte would head to t he discovery of aL .ather shumthing proportion of knaves, evenI inl hi it honored calling. Not oine of our niany agricultural re der.s will have any difliculty in callinig to mind farmers living in his own county, who would provo a mautch in a gamie of "cheat" with any lawyer. In selecting candidates, less regard should be plaid to the calling andI more to the man himself, foir it is, t.rue of all callings as of all nations, "that tIe ro is good in all, and none alil gm.o 1." No one class can laiv h mecst claim to all the brains, any miore thani to all the honesty. The bucolic simplicity of the farmer is sometimes n' tended by a clearness of understanding that may be made ini valu able in a Gleneral Assembly, and the "sinmie so child-like and bland," ..f the lawyer, is not always a sure indi ('ation (If a lie Lrt insensible to justice, or~ of a mrind bont, on lunlfdor. If there are more knaves in the law, there are certainly more fools out of it, anmd it is well to have a goodly number of the fraternity to repre Be it us, in order that they may watch eachi other, if for no better reason. If it is true that it requires the com binattion of a lawyer and a politi ,oian to make the "wir'e puller," it is equ 'ally tm no that this same ad mixture is frequently knowvn to re-, sult in the produiction of a states man. Good men, in these days of de(1moralization. are not so plentiful that woe can afford to ignore any class, whet her it be the professional the mercantile, the mechanical or the agricultural-of course, the clerical is to be considered an ex ception,- as its functions, being spiritnal, should be devoted to the admtinistration of spiritnal affairs. Were it possible, it would be well to have each class duly represented hy its representati. -~n n order that the interests of each might be jealolsly watched and protected. 'traightout J)enocrat. FATAL wIIrKlY1 Arnr'a. A Citizen of Pickens 1Killed by a Revi. nue Ofacer--Thk, Whole PartIy in Jull [Special Dispach to tho lVems and C>urier. ] GREENVILLE, S. C., Juno 10.--On yesterday Special Deputy Marshals H. P. Kane, Win. Durham, G. W. Moose and R. P. Seruggs left Pickens Courthouse, proceeding in the direction of the upper part of the county in the search for L vi; i R. Rediiond, the outlaw. They went to the iiouso of Amos Ladd, twenty-two miles distant, where they understood he was staying. The two deputies first named up proached the house of Ladd, leaving the others somewh:t in the rear to keep a lookout. As Kane and Dur ham neared the house they observed Ladd standing in the door armed to the teeth and ready to shoot. In-. stantly, he pulled trigger at the revenue officer, but his gun only snapped. Kane simultaneously s'.ot Ladd, inflicting a wound from the effects of which, it is reported, he died. Immediately afterwarduKano and his associates left the place, and the former went to Easly and thence to Greenville, where he obtained a ve hicle, and proceeded to return to Pickens when he met Durham, Moose and Scruggs on the way. The four then camne to this city and surrendered to Sheriff Gilreath, who placed them in jail. 'They feel safer here than in Pickens jail. VVa.XED U' THE FOnT."-A month before the bombardment of Fort Fisher began, the celebrated powder explosion occurred, which 'was in.. tended to blow down this solia earthwork, a mile in extent, with forty..fet traverses every few yards. Its ridiculous failure is well remem bored. The night after the explo sion of the powder-ship some of our pickets on the beach were captured and carried on board the Admiral's ship. Among them was a very sole inn-looking fellow who sat si - lently and sai:f,i chewing tobacco. As there was intense curiosity among the officers of the fleet to know the result of the remarkable experiment, one of them asked the solemn-looking "Rob" if lie wais in the fort when the powder-ship ex ploded ; to which ho replied in the affirmative-but without exhibiting the least interest in the matter ; whereupon the officers gathered around him and began to ask ques t:ons: "You say you were inside the fort ?" '"Yes ; I was thar." "What was the effect of the explo sion ?" "Mighty bad, sir-powerful bad." "Well, what was it ? Did it kill mny rebels or throw down any of the works?" "No, tsir ; hit didn't do that." "Well, what did it do ? Speak out, damn your eyes." "Why, stranger, hit waked up pretty nigh every man in the fort !" The Glare county, Mich., .Press is to have a new editor, and that paper recites his eminent qualifica-. tions for' the literary position in the following editorial announcement: "T'he Press has secured the ser vie of J.
