WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 26. The Sumter Watchman waa founded ' m 1850 aod the Trzse Southron in 1866. . The Watchman and Southron now has the combined circulation and influence - of both of the old papers, and is mani festly tbe beai advertising medium io Samter. A SIN AND SHAME. ~ Close apon the perpetration of tbe outrage in the recent e' ection at Rafting Creek precinct comes the news from . Coi ambia that the retarne from the Boara o* County Canvassers, from p8 ?*-*- *d been altered since bein? Kg? .^^ la tbe office. of the Secretary of State s required by law. 4 ;;. We coa id scarcely credit the report? >; we could not bring ourselves to the belief that law, order and decency had ? been so trampled upon that in the Cap itol of the State?in the Capitol build ing itself?almost within tbe sacred precincts of the Court, in the high office of the Secretary of State, a crime of so strions a catare woald be attempted, ? Three, out of the five (5) scratched -ballot?, upon which Frank Mellett's ejection to the House depended were altered. When sent by the County Board, to the Secretary of State and re ceived by him they were pinned to tbe original return and showed Straightout names erased and the names of Tillman candidates written on them.. They were deposited by the. Secretary of State in >, the office safe and to his certain knowl edge he swears that the papers were bandied by no one except himself, ~Mr. You m au s Jno. R Keels, D. B. Keels, Frank Mellett, E. C Haynsworth (son of Maj. W. F. B. Haynsworth) and Mr. Shand. The solemn judgment of the State Board of Can vassers is "that the record in the case has been changed since it was - filed in the office of the Secretary of V State.** * * * * * We prefer, as did the counsel in the case, cot to make any further comments, but call the attention of our readers to the proceedings before the State Board . of Canvassers, which we publish in full in this issue, and upon the sworn testi mony of the witnesses form their con clusions. The Board farther decided to give - Mr. Mellett ibe seat ia the House. Mr. Shand, in bis argument referred to the revelation in the testimony of the Chairman of the Tillman faction in Sumter County that scratched tickets "had been arranged and put out for the purpose of deceiving voters and defraud ' icg them of their suffrages.7' Mr. Keels further testified "That ballots like these were used by both sides in the election * * Not thinking they could be eouoted, we distributed tickets like them in every precinct in the aounty." We are informed by Dr. John S. Hughson, Chairman of the Straightout Executive Committee, that so far as he, and the Straightoat Executive Commit tee know, no such tickets were prepared and that tbe first Tillman County tickets be saw and the only place be saw them, was in tbe room where the election was held, to wit, the Court House. That it was the distinct understanding and instructions of the Conn tv Chairman that everything was to be conducted in the fairest and most honest manner? strictly io accordance with tbe law. We greatly deplore the circumstances which have brought these issues again before the public. It is our earnest bope that the wing of time will soon brush them away,"and that they may be forever fotgotten, bat we bave not con sidered H consonant with our duty to " let the facts go by unnoticed. MASONIC TEMPLE COMPANY. This is the name of one of our city's new enterprises. Many months ago iu oaf editorial columns we called, atten tion to the fact that the societies and orders that existed here should make some arrangement and secure a hall for themselves. The oldest cf the many orders here, is Claremoct Lodge, No. 64, of Ancient Free Masons, which, realizing- the necessity of having a proper and suitable place for the different societies to meet in, a mooth ago appointed a special committee with fall powers to act in the premises. The committee at once weut to work and secured the option on several desirable lots. They then got a com mission from the Secretary of State authorizing them to open books of subscription for said enterprise, fixing the -number of shares at 1,000 at $10 00 a ?har?, to be paid in 5 monthly install ments of $2.00. The corporators are Messre Altamont Moses, R. M. Wallace, J. A. Mood, M. G. Ryttenberg, R A. Brand, A. C. Phelps, and A. N. Freeland Tbe boolr ?. of subscription will be opened at tbe Sinonds National Bank on Monday the 1st day of December. Tbe Masonic Lodge has already authorized the subscription for 100 shares, and we have no doubt the other societies will do the game. The books of subscription will cot be confined to the different organiza tions, but are open to all, the old and young, male and female, and as tbe shares are in tbe reach of everyone, we urge upon our citizens to assist in this laudable undertaking. As soon as the cumber of shares requisite are subscrib ed, a meeting of tbe stockholders will be called, and an organization perfected, and a charter applied for. Col. W all a ce, one of tbe corporators, or any other of tbe gentlemen named above vjili be glad to furnish any infor matioj as to tbe object and pian of the j compaoy. As contemplated, the building to be. erected will be an ornament to oar city, and will greatly enhance the value of other property in its neighborhood. Look into this matter, and on next Monday step into tbe National Bank, and pat your name down' for as many shares as your financial condition will warrant. THE YOBKV1XLE ENQUIRER r BUBNT, We sinoerely regret to notice the loss by fire of this sterling paper's office and outfit, on Sunday, morning last. The office was probably the best equip pod country newspaper office in the Soath, and tbe loss amounts to not less ih? fifteen thousand dollars, with no insurance. Bro. G riet has our hearty sympathy in bis loss. With indefatigable energy ho intends going on . with bis paper as soon as possible. - GONZALES RESIGNS. The announcement of the resignation of this distinguished journalist of his position at the head of tbe News and Courier Burean, Colombia, S. C , will be'received with the deepest regret not only by the press, but by bis numerous friends and admirers throughout the State. Upon none will his loss fail more heavily than the great journal, for whom he has worked so long and so faithfully. For the last ten years tbe familiar initials of **N. G. G." have appeared almost daily appended to those inter esting and charmingly written letters that were always given a prominent place in the Neics and Courier. They will be sadly missed by those who de light in pare English, a graceful style, and correct and accurate reports. It was doe to Mr. Gonzales' influence and persistent effort that a branch office of the News and Courier was establish ed in Colombia. Referring to his work as a writer while in Colombia, the Record says : Mr. Goozales first took charge of the Neics and Courier bureau in this city in August, 1880. Here be remained until October, 1881, when he went to Washington as the Courier's special correspondent and contioued there until August, 1882. During this time Mr. Gonzales reported the famous extra ses sion of Congress and the Guiteao trial. It was here that he first made bis repu tation as a journalist. In August, 1882, he went to Charleston and did editorial work ootil January, 1883, when he came back Wr Colombia, and here he has been ever since Since 1880 Mr. Gonzales reported every campaign in this State bot the last, in which he reported a few meet ings. He was the compiler of Colom bia's trade review last year in the Neics and Courier, than which no more com plete and well written account has ever been done. Mr. Gonzales, plans for the future have not yet been decided. We trost that they will not necessitate bis re moval from Colombia or bis native State, bat should each be inevitable, whenever and wherever he goes, he will always have the best wishes of tbe W. and S. in all his undertakings, and our unqualified praise of his great talents as a writer. THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY. The Legislatore convened in Colom bia yesterday at high noon. Col. J. L. M. Ir by was elected to the Speakership of the House without opposition. A clean sweep was made in respect to tbe minor officers. Most of the members are new men unexperienced in parliamentary law. It is to be argued from this that they will in all probability be a conservative body ; that they will exercise forbear ance and common sense in their deli beration, and burying all partisan feel ing, and banishing all suspicion and distrust, learn to rely in some measure opon the jodgment and advice of those experienced in State-craft. If all other counties are as well rep sen ted asSumter in the General Assem bly, we may look forward to such law making as even Lycurgus could not excel. (From oar Regular Correspondent.) WASHINGTON LETTER, Washington, D. C, Nov. 24,1890. Mr. Harrison and Mr. Btaioe cannot continue their present relations much longer, unless there is a radical change of mind on tbe part of one of them. That becomes plainer aod plainer every day to those familiar with the inside workings of the administration. Mr. Harrison has finished his message, aod it has been shown to every member of the cabinet, except Mr. Blaine. The reason for this action on the part of Mr. Harrison is that be ha? gone directly contrary to the views of Mr. Blaine on at least two important matters dealt with by the message, and he has delay ed showing the message to Mr. Blaine, fearing that it roijjht cause an open row between them. Of course it will have to be shown to the Secretary of State before Congress meets but there will be do trouble, so far as Mr.'Blaine is con cerned. He made up his mind when the McKinley bill became a law that the republican party was doomed, and eioce that time he has Dot bothered his head with matters outride of his hobby, reciproci^. The leaders of his party have nearly all turned to him as the Moses to lead them out of the wilderness, aod that is wbat is so galling to Mr. Flarisson, who wants vindication in the shape of a re-nomination ; but one of Mr. j?laioe's warmest aod closest personal friends told me that unless there should come a great change io the prospects of the Republican ' party before 1892, Mr. Blaine would under no circumstances accept the nomination. One defeat being quite enough for him. Unless a prominent Government offi ciai is of in his predictions, there will be a vacancy in the office of Commis- j sioner of Pensions between this and ' January, Mr. Harrison having fully j decided that Raum shall go. I The Congressional lame docks among the Republicans are all trying to pick oat something ander the Government that will enable them to keep hold of the public teat after the 4th of luext March, but it will be a difficult matter to provide for even a small number of them. One of the principal occupations of the republican leaders just now is stif fening up the political backbones of the small-fry Congressmen as they get in. About three out of four want to revise the McKinley tariff law at tbe coming session. That, the leaders are deter mined to prevent if possible. Several of the candidates for Speaker of tbe next House have opened head quarters here, but there are not enough of the members-elect of the Fifty second Congress yet here to make any thing like a lively contest. But they will all be bere a little later, as an extra session is believed to be almost certain, which will make it necessary to elect tbe Speaker about nine months earlier than if there was no meeting until December next. The Farmers Alliance and its future movements is much discussed by return ing Congressmen, and many of them believe that a consolidation of it and the labor organizations will take place before the next Presidential campaign. The Republicans fear the orgaoization most, because it antagonizes tbe princi ples of that party most. With two or three exceptions any good democrat could support the platform of the al liaoce. Tbe 6ght for free and unlimited sil ver coinage is to be renewed as soon as Congress meets, and a powerful weapon, in tbe appointment; of a successor to Chairman Conger, of tbe House com mittee on Coinage, Weights and meas ures who resigned to go to Brazil as U. S. minister, is in the hands of Speaker Reed. Mr* Reed is ooe of the bitterest opponent of free coinage, in the House, but for all that it is not certain, although it is probable, that he will put an anti-silver man at tbe bead of that committee. The committee is said to be now evenly divided on tbe question, so tbat in deciding upon tbe new member of the committee, Speaker Reed will really decide whether the committee shall report a free coinage bill. Speaking of Mr. Reed, the republi cans arc very much worried because certain democrats have determined that a democratic committee of the next House sball investigate the methods by which he was elected. There is no con test, nor is there to be, but it is be lieved tbat an investigation in that dis trict will show op a great deal of repub lican crookedness, and the democrats propose doing it. Many democrats think the republican Congressional apportionment bill should be opposed on the ground that tbe cen sus has not beeu correctly taken. Of course, if the republicans can keep a : quorum of their own men on the floor of the House no amount of opposition can prevent its passage but it may not be amiss to show up certain things about the census. Riot at Bishopville. On Sunday morning last Sheriff Carson received a telegram stating that tbe negroes at Bishop vilie were under arms and a serious riot was impending. Tbe insurrection was caused by arrests made under orders of the town authorities. Capt. Ti. A. Brand also received a telegram from Intendant Scarborough calling for tbe Sumter Light Infantry at once as they vrere unable to protect themselves. It was neces sary for Capt. Brand to get orders from the Governor before he cou d move his company. He immediately telegraphed for tbem and received a reply at 7 o'clock Sunday evening. It was no easy matter to get the boys to gether at that hour, many of them baving gooe to evening services with their "best girls." An hour later Capt Brand wired Gov. Richardson, "I leave here at 8.30 with thirty-five men for Bishop ville.' ' Tbe Com pany very soon reached Atkins, oo tbe A. C. Line, but lost half an hour there shifting a coach on to tbe Atkins & Bishopville R. R., and preparing another engine. Bishopville was reached about 10 oclock, and they were met at the train by a few anxious men and boys armed with such rude weapons as could be secured. They marched up town and formed in front of Scarborough & Bramlett's store Tbe negroes had all vanished at the first taps of the drum, and none o? the riotors were to j be seen except tbe one arrested by sheriff Car son and confined in the vacant store next door. The boys being on guard all night lost a great deal of sieep. They were hospitably entertained by Mr. O. C. Scarborough Intendant, and Messrs. Bramlett & Scar borough, their store being thrown open to them, and can goods, crackers, etc., were vigorouley attacked. Tbey speak in tbe highest terms of the kind attention of Messrs. Scarborough & Bramlett, and tbeir clerk, Mr. R. E. Fraser. Everything being quiet the next morning, and the Sheriff stating tbat he could get along without them, the officers and rat boarded the train at 7 30 o'clock, and with twelve prisoners in charge returned to Sumter. We clip the following from tbe Charleston j World whose correspondent went with the Company, and reported tbe facts from tbe seat of the disturbance : The negroes held a church festival in the empty store owned by Dr. McLeod on Satur day night. There seemed to be a good deal of liquor in the crowd, and early in the evening there seemed to be trouble brewing. There was a great deal of cursing and swearing, and Mayor Scarborough appointed two leading negroes of the place to act as marshals to quiet things, and empowered tbem to make arrests if necessary. The marshals made one arrest and got the offender as far as the guard house door, when he succeeded in getting away. This seemed to get their dander up, and a grand general row ensued, through all of which could be heard abuse of, and threats against, the whites. The mayor then went down and tried to quiet tbem, but without much effect. He then appointed Messrs. S. H. Kilgore and G. A. Rodgers special deputies, and ordered them to arrest a negro named Capers Mack, who was particularly noisy and threat- j ening. They succeeded in lodging him in the guardhouse without much trouble and return ed to the street. Here they found one John Rerabert raising a row and making threats, and declared ?h>:t nobody could put him up. The mayor commanded him to he silent, and threatened him with arrest. He would not obey, so .Mr. Kilgore went up to arredi him, when Rerabert drew a pistol, and the negro men and women, about 300 in all, closed around him. He got into the door of E Brown & Go's store, still cursing the whit; s, and here the firing b<?gan. It is hard to say who fired first, but the I first few shots on both sides were almost 5?mu?taneous. There were aliout thirty shots fired in all. There were only about six white men present at ibis time. The mayor ordered the shooting stopped, and he kept it down for the balance of the night, though the-uegroes still cursed the whitte. It -was afterwards nerpTtained that six negroes had been ir ou need (four men nnd two j women.) though m<i?t of them only slightly. \ I No white man was hit. ! While this shooting was going on, a party \ of negroes went aroaud to the guardhouse ? and tore down the building and released the prisoner, who bad been confined there. The whites did not bear the noise of the tearing down of the house on account of the general row. The whites were soon joined bj a few aore armed with such weapons as they could j suatch a . and they held ihe negroes, who were mostly unarmed, at bay for three hours, when the latter gradually withdrew, making threats, however, of sticking fire to the town, and of killing Mr. S. H. Kilgore, Mr. Hugh Carnes and Mr Rodgers. Early next morning (Sunday) the negroes were seen coming into town bringing their guns and. concealing them in a negro restau rant, a few doors abore the store of Messrs. Scarborough k Bramlett. During tbe day they hovered in squad3 around this bouse, and in the afternoc-a took their gune and formed in line across the street and bade defiance to tbe white?. Tbe whites had organized and stood in readiness before them but remained perfectly quiet waiting for the negroes to take tbe initiative. This rosse was in charge of Dr. Dennis, one of the town wardens. Tbe mayor was in charge of another further up tbe street in front of the hotel. Both ordered no shoe .ing to be done till the negroes should begin. Sheriff Carson arrived with his constable, Mr. J. H. Watson, at 4 . p. m., and be took command. His arrival seemed to alarm tbe negroes, and they began to disperse and withdraw to tbe negro-store before mentioned as being a short distance out of town. About suudown forty men arrived from Stoke's Bridge, Darlington county, and proffered assistance to tbe whites. The prisoners taken ! were: ). John Rembert (shot in the arm and ankle.) 2. Sam Canty (bis wife shot in tbe throat and will probably die.) 3. Colclougb Williams. 4. Sam Harris. 5. Calvin Lucky. 6 Edward London. 7. W. M. Mack. 8. Henry Albert. 9. Sam Davis. 10. Fraser Mclntosh (hit in breast bat ball glanced off.) 11. Capers Rembert. 12. Edward Green. Tbe Sheriff continued to search on Monday tor tbe parties concerned in tbe riot, and suc ceeded ia arresting three, viz : Wash George, Mansos Mack, Jr., and a woman named Anarchy James, who were brought to Sumter and committed to jail on Tuesday. The rest escaped. Kate Brown was hit in the back but not dangerously hurt: Bill White in tbe knee and breast. Willis Stuckey, bit in tbe leg. The New Webster ? Webster's Interna tional Dictionary is the book which is destined to go into every library, every public school, every household where American literature is received and where the English language is studied. The publishers have spent more than a quarter of a million dollars in bringing tbis work oat io its unabridged, revised, enlarged and authentic form. It now takes the name "International," and this is intended to emphasize tbe fact that the language of tbe mother country now encircles the globe. Every page has been treated as if tbe book were now published for the first time. Tbe claim of the publishers is that it retains that excellence in definition which bas made Webster the safe and familiar authority to which judges, journalist, scholar, artisan and men of business refer, and that in etymology, prononciation, citations and pictorial illus trations it carries to greater perfection the merits of its predecessors. We believe that it abundantly justifies these modest claims, and that, as a compre hensive popular dictionary, it is likely to retain tbe pre-eminence which has long been held by "Webster's Unabridged. No diction can be final, but for the next 25 years tbe "International Dictionary" must be accepted as the best work of its kind in the English language?Boston Herald, September 28, 1890.

C, on Thursday, Nov. 13. 1890, Susan Emma, the wife of James Henry Colclougb, and daughter of William Guignard and Emma Buford Richardson, in the 64th year of her age. She was born at Bloom Hill, Sumter Coun ty, Aug. 29, 1827, and was married April 30, 1848. Fourteen children w*re the fruits of this union, ten of whom, seven sons and three daughters, survire her, together with ber husband, and two brothers, Dr. S. C. C. Richardson of Manning, S. C, and Maj. John M. Richardson of Daingerfield, Texas. Mrs. Colclougb was an invalid for many years, but she bore her infirmities with a Christian submission and fortitude that is rare as it is beautiful and inspiring. Perhaps her chief characteristic washer unselfishness. Moved by this, but a few days preceeding her decease, she made a visit to ber sick brother, that she might minister to him in his time of need, but the journey was too great a tax on ber strength, and she "fell asleep" under the strain. This final act was in keeping with her entire life, and the spirit in which it was done crowns the end with a halo of heavenly light. For her, "The storm is o'er?and hark ! a still small voice Steals on the ear, to say, Jehovah's choice Is ever with the soft, meek, tender soul." J. K. A CARD. I take this method of returning thanks to my friends of Sumter, and to the commercial travelers, stopping with me at the time, for their kind assistance in saving ray furniture, &c, from threatened destruction by fire on the 25th, and also to the fire department for their prompt response and action. Very truly, J. E. Jbrvsy. ~ FOR SALE. Desiring to remove from Sumter, I offer for sale? My Dwelling and grounds of about three acres on Main Street, in City of Sumter.
