The readers of the Democrat were informell two weeks ago that it was the purpo.se sf Ceo. Boliver lo bold the ofllce of clerk of the court, not withstanding the verdict of the peo ple, as declared in the late election, was overwhelmingly against his. In deed he had so long been accustomed to ride here that he began to think the ofllce, fixtures and profits were his by possession or some title which even the people could not annul. 'Hence to defend that right his hist drop of blood and cent of money ?stood pledged. From this bold posi tion assumed by Boliver and these de fiant threats the people expected war to the knife, and Mr. Robinson, the clerk elect, fortified himself behind the liest ofsuritiesand the Governor's ?Commission before making the de mand for the surrender of Bolivev's stronghold. Preparations being com pleted, the demand was made on Sat urday last for the unconditional sur render of ofllce and contents. This was refused, or a compliance, evaded by a request for time to consider as to his best action. Nothing more was heard of the matter until on Monday morning, about 11 o'clock, Mr. Robinson with his chief clerk Mr. L. H. Wannamaker, and a few friends, finding the door opened, walked into the clerk's ofllce,, told ?I. G. Boliver and Dr. Malone, who were writing at their desks,, that he had come to enter upon the duties of the oUicc and that he had no use for them or nccd>of their services. This was a bombshell in the camp, sud denly exploded and effective, and these gentlemen, taking in the situa tion, at once retreated, leaving Mr. Robinson master of the field. The work of making nn Inventory of every thing in the qfilce was immediately beg'un und finally completed. During Hie day a notice was served on Mr. Geo. Boliver personally that Mr. Robinson had assumed ? the-manage ment of the otllce and was ready to give a receipt for the property. This was answered b}* a long, point less aud aimless protest which served only to excite a pleasant smile upon Mr. Robinson's features, because he knew Boliver was out und he was in. Every thing necessary to conduct j the business of the ollice successfully was found except the soul which is j locked up in the safe, the key of which Boliver refuses to surrender. This,! however, does not materially matter as the general routine busiues can be performed without it. Mr. Robinson is now ready lo wait upon our citi zens who may have business in bis ollice. Lynching. Thice young colored demons, two hoys and a girl, aged respectively 15, 10 and 18, murdered Mrs. Ada Ken nedy of Claiendon County on the lib instant in a most brutal and horri ble manner. A sboit while after Mr. Kennedy left home to secure the pres ence of bis mother with his wile during a three days visit to Charles ton, these fiends appeared, demand ed money and, being refused, hiutally attacked Mrs. Kennedy wit.i hoes and finally killed her by cleaving her skull with a hoe. One ol the boys having been arrested, confesled the cr me and told who engaged with him in committing the deed. The ether boy and girl were forthwith arrested and by a vote of one hundred and fifty white men and fifty colotetl men aud women, the young murderers were lynched and hung to a tree until they were dead. We tue no advocates of extreme measures und ceituiuly not of any mode of piocedure which takes the life of a fellow being ; but liiere nie ei reu tu stances and occasions when the slow pioccsscs of I he law do not meet the emergency and, to save so ciety from panic, it becomes proper and necessary to deal summarily with ollendcrs against its peace and sully. This seems lo be a case, the circumstances' of which evidently justify the menus employed. The [same course would have been follow ed in any community of the North against the safo'y of which the same crime had been perpetrated. Wo de sire to sco our society free from even the apprehension, ol such outrages, but'this can never tie while contem ptible political leaders, such as we have, are suirered to poison the very elements of that society by exciting hatred and enmity between tho races. Kid our country of these political vi pers and wo will hear of no more such crimes as the Clarendon and Branclivilie outrages. The Legislature. This body continues at work and notwithstanding the purpose to ad journ before Christmas are cutting out new business every day according as each member thinks best for the intcr i est of his county and State. Among tho matters perfected and passed is the bill introduced by our Senator Gen. J. F. Isslar to lix the bond of County Commissioners at 82,000 instead of SoOO as beretolorc. We suppose the Commissioners lately elected will be required to give this bond. A special bill for certain counties, among which i is Orangeburg, bus passed to its sec ond reading prohibiting the buying of seed cotton, except for manufactur ing, in settlement between landlord and tenant and under process of law. It is likely now that this bill will be come a law unless it be killed on passing its third reading which is not usual. A bill has been inlrodeced to ?inend an act io prohibit persons from living together in adnllury. i We hope its previsions are sufficient ly defined and severe to put a stop to the evil und that lite bill will pass. The bill lo utilize the labor ol prison ers in jail was rejected. Two peti tions : one from 5000 ladies of Char leston and one from 3000 ladies of Audcrson, asking for a low pri hibi ting the sale of liquor in the Slate, were unrolled in Use House and meas ured respectively 30 and JO yards in lenght. These petitions were referred to a special committee of which our representative, Dr. Summers, is a member. The bill prohibiting the carrying of concealed weapons has occasion one or two hot discussion but has not yet assumed a form to allow cn opinion of ils finial result. The appropriation and supply bills ; arc being perfected rapidly and their provision indica'e about the same tax levy as last year. Our Legislators. Among the important matters in troduced and likely to become enact ed laws by our legislature are the following, measure. A bill by Gen. Isslar creating a public guardian to iull such minors as inherit property j not under a will and constituting the j Master as such officer; also a bill to make the ollice of Master genet a) throughout the counties o!' the Slate ; I also a bill by Dr. Summers lo limit j the sale of intoxicating liquors inclu ding bitters or other drinks with alco i hoi as the base ; also a bill to provide [public scales at all points of trade j where heavy products are weighed. These ate all iralters of general ;and local interest and look directly to I the benefit of the State. Some of them we heartily endorse and hope ! they may be pushed successfully ! through. We are glad lo sec our mem bers moveing forward in such mat ters making a history for our countv ? and a reputation for themselves. Judge Kershaw. The General Assembly has again j j elected Gen.,!. B. Kershaw to the po sition of circuit .Judge by an almost unanimous vote. Judge Kershaw is one of the purest men In South Caro lina and the General Assembly hon ors itself and the Statj by his clec I i j lion lo this position. An occasional Wushington Corres-1 Jpondent of the Louisville Courier j Journal writes thus: "It Iis not pro ! j liable that Kellogg will I e turned out.: J It is certain that he never should have been turned in. He was no more en titled ton seat mi the Senate, us an ' original proposition, Mian Hob Inger-1 s.dl is entitled loa seat beside the angel Gabriel." Somk one says that "memory is the . most valuable attribute with which divinity bus endowed man." Memc-j ry may do very well in some things, but when it comes to running a news paper on time we vole for hope every-! lime. We hope those owing us fori their paper will sec the point. ipVjGGlllSS : BUGGIES ! JUST RECEIVED WHICH AUE OFF ICH EL) FOR SALE AS FOLLOWS: OPEN.-#55.00 TOP.05.00 Call at once. B. Frank Slater.
