THE MURDER OF SAMUEL S. LAW.
Sajtoel S. . Law, a youth of some twenty-
four years of age, a son of one of our most
revered citizens, the Hon. Wai. Law, was
murdered in cold, blood, and without provo
cation, on Monday night last, by a gang of
negro ruffians.
Young Law was, at the time of his cruel
deqto, performing his duty as an’ honorable
and gallant gentleman and a law-abiding citi
zen, under authority from the proper civil
officers, to prevent an outrage upon the laws
ahd upon the peace of- the community:
. - His murderers weieja mob -ocf black.Bav-
ages, who, fully armed and intent upon the
commission of any outrage which their brutal
instinct might suggest, and which they might
frnd themselves able to perpetrate, were
marching in the darkness of the night upon
‘ the city of Savannah, where the women and
children, and, in truth, the greater part of
the population, had retired to rest.
This is the picture presented by the facts
of this most wanton assassination.
There is nothing to palliate explain or ex
cuse the hideousness of the crime. There
is nothing more atrocious recorded in Baker’s
or Speke’s narratives of the bloody cruelties
of the wild" and barbarous riegro-cfiietBon
the bank6 of the Nile—where the real negro
nature is disclosed in its uncontrolled, and
untamed ferocity.
This painful tragedy contains more than
- the elements of sorrow and grief, of which it
• is so full. It is fraught with solemn and
awful lessons which the white people, not
only of the South, but of the whole country-
are compelled to regard^ or else be blind to
their duties and to their fete.
No one desires to see a war of races inau
gurated in this country, yet no sensible man
can doubt what must be the issue of such a
contest.
No humane man wishes the extermination
of the negro race, but if the negro race will
rush upon his own doom; or be instigated by
unprincipled whites to do so, and thus pre
cipitate the catastrophe of his own annihila
tion, the blood be upon his own head and
upon the heads of those who mislead him.
The white people of the South will not
submit to have the lives and the honor of
their sons and their daughters, and the secu
rity of their honest possessions subjected to
the lustful, murderous and rapacions propen
sities of a barbarous and inferior race.
This is no time to avoid, by dubious speech,
the issues which are plainly presented to us
by the events of the times. Let every man
ponder them well, and be prepared to act in
such a manner as shall become his own honor
and dignity; and his responsibility to his
country, his family and his race.
We have unconsciously made ' the deplor
able death of our young friend the theme of
remarks more general than is nsnal upon
each occasions; but we do not think them in
appropriate or ill-timed. We cannot hot re
gard him as a victim and a martyr to the
scheme of producing a hostility of races which
has, with such devilish subtlety, been inau
gurated for party purposes in the South.
To return, however, to the more immediate
purpose of this notice, Samuel S. Law, the
son of the Hon. Wm. Law and of Alethia
Stabk Law was bom in Savannah, in
January, , A U. 1845, rand was consequent
ly in the 24th year of his age at the time of
his death. At the banning of the war of
Secession, in 1861, he was a member of the
Savannah Volunteer Guards, and served with
them for some time. After the first victory
of the Confederates at Manassas, in July, ,
1861, he proceeded with several others to
Virginia, for the purpose of recruiting the
ranks of the Oglethorpe Light Infantry, which
had suffered severely from casualties. With
the Company he served for a considerable
period of trine. Afterwards' he became , a
memb'er of"the Chatham Artillery,' and con-
tinned in the Confederate, service in various
positions until the final surrender of the Con-
federateTarpiies.'T I O TT/ T J ^C

ilurrin, but we
allude to theriubject here forthe purpose of
denouncing tho conduct of well known evil
i^jp.ftdu^l^rity, who,
for' their own ambitious arid corrupt pur
poses, have sought to imytrol the negro popu
lation by imposing on their ignorance, ex
citing their worst passions against the whites
and inciting them to deeds of violence and
blood. It is known to our citizens that some
of these men have had nightly councils with
the negroes, that theyhave distributed among
them infamonsly false and inflammatory docu
ments, thatithey have inculcated in them feel
ings of distrust, resentment and hatred to
wards the whites, advising them to come to
the polls in solid phalanx, knowing them to
be armed and prepared for bloodshed.
While we denounce these miscreants as
enemies to both races, we would warn our
citizens against them as dangerous members
of the community. Self-protection is a univer
sally recognized rigid and duly, and -if there is
fro law that can reach these:-enemies of toe
public peace, our citizens owe it to com
munity, to their own security and that of
their families, homes and property, to take
measnres to protect themselves against the
evil machinations of such cowardly incen
diaries.
The blood that was shed on Tuesday is
j - upon the hands of the white wretches, who>
it is-said, advised the negroes to the course
which led to the collision.
THE ELECTION.
We give this morning all the additional re
turns that have reached us by telegraph and
the mails. Whilethey do not vary the result
they are still of interest, showing as they do
a more gratifying array of Democratic strength,
a greater devotion to the principles of the
Constitution than we.were led to expect by
the reports wMch reached us on Tuesday
night, when it was even doubful whether the
Democracy would cany a single Northern
State.
The returns which we publish this morn
ing give assurances'that Seymour and Blair
have carried trie States of New York, New
Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky, Ore
gon, Alabama, Louisiana, Georgia, and- per
haps North Carolina. Above all it is gratify
ing to know that our ownnoble old Common
wealth is triumphantly redeemed from Negro
Radicalism, by a majority of at least twenty-
five thousand.
The Approaching Earthquake.—The N^w
York Atlas has some misgivings concerning
the California earthquake. It thinks it will
be the turn of New York or the whole Atlan
tic coast next.. . The editor, as if with fear and
trembling, asks’! -L-i-- -
“Have we riot been warned of approaching
misfortune of trie character to winch we are
referring? Undoubtedly. Not longer than
two weeks ago two “smart” earthquake shocks
were felt in Virginia, and the chivalry be
came veritable quakers. If the Atlantic sea
board ever catches a blow of the kind, it will
be an earnest one; and what if such a blow
really impends? Vvliat if the vague hints
and predictions of geologists and other men
of science as to marvellous changes about to
take place on the globe be true ? What if the
theologists who rest from inspired prophecy
the promise of a speedy destruction of sub
lunary goods and chattels have aimed at one
target and Mt another ? What if chaos is
to coins again, and render, all our plans, and
hopes, and fame, and wealth, arid onr strag
gles for aggrandizement nugatory and of no
earthly account ? The idea is pregnant with
suggestive reflection. Let us take another
week to it.”
Had the editor given expression to Ms ap
prehensions since the recent election, we
might have supposed his gloomy forebodings
were suggested by the despondency which a
good, Constitutional Democrat very naturally
experiences after a political disaster so crush
ing to his patriotic hopes. Doubtless, many
good men are of opinion that after the ex
perience of the past few years", with the grand
climax of the triumph of the revolutionary
Jacobins in the election, the country is pre
pared fbr almost any calamity, und that any
thing short of an earthquake would sink into
insignificance in comparison with what we
have already suffered. We confess for one
that between the triumph of the Radical ma-
lignants and a moderate earthquake there is
very little choice.

Mb. Editor: Talking with a friend, I
used the words “ Colonel Stone,” referring to
the wMte Radical adviser of the black Radi
cals of this city. “Why,” replied he, “do
you use that title; where did ha serve; why
should he he called Colonel ? You know he
is not Judge, as Bnllock could not carry him
to that position, and he is in the same pre
dicament as to judicial honors as the camel

Now I appeal to you for information. Was
he a subordinate to “ Captain Jenks, of the

that famous brigade where the horses were

There is another notorious white leader of

suppressed By the Cortes in .1820, and again
restored in 1825. In 1835, under revoln-

in Spain by Royal Decree, hut its provisions

ATANNAH THEATRE !
Pastoral Address of Bisliop Smith, of
Kentucky.
On Thursday evening last, Bishop Smith,
of Kentucky, the senior Bishop of toe Pro
testant Episcopal * Church in the United
States, addressed an immense congregation
at Calvary Church, New York, reading a pas
toral letter wMch touched with decided em
phasis on some of the questions concerning
wMob the General Convention refused to take
action. The substance of toe pastoral letter
is as follows:
The toll representation wMch attended toe
Convention is referred to as a matter for
praise and thanksgiving, being without a
precedent in nine years. During that period
tho Church has had to deplore the loss of
sixteen of its foremost champions, two of
them being presiding bishops. Grateful
mention is made of the abundant spiritual
increase and growth and progress of evan
gelical principles, while regret is expressed at
many examples of “unprofitable services.”
Thanks are given for toe reunion as a na
tional church, and for toe harmony of pur
pose and action thereby secured. The labors
of-the missionaries are characterized as noble
and faithful; while it is lamented that toe
offerings of the Churches have not been
commensurate with their endeavors, although
it is mentioned as qualifying this report that
there is a great deal done that does not ap
pear in any reports. Tho work of benevo
lence, it is said, has been the subject of grave
considerations, while the subject of Christian
education has received a large measure
of practical attention. The Christian
family “ being more and more re
garded as a divine institution,” and in sup
port of toe church, satisfaction is expressed
that the legislation of the Convention has
done not a little to strengthen the households
of the communion. The work of the church,
the necessity of labor on toe part of toe min
istry and of corresponding efforts on the part
of toe laity are next referred to, with the
growing need of candidates for holy orders
and toe scriptural teaching quoted that,
“those who preached the Gospel should live
by the Gospel.” The necessity of enlarged
associated eff ort in works of mercy and edu
cation is pointed out, as there' is much that
cannot otherwise be done, and a wish put
forth that men and women may be found,
who will devote themselves to this effort.
Such associations, it says, however, must be
free from entangling vows and enforced con
fession, and be in strict submission to dio
cesan authority. It is spoken of as a matter
of painful 'observation, especially in large
cities, that the churches are too little used,
and are sometimes, in summer, even entirely
closed on the Sabbath day; and as there can
be no private ownersMp in consecrated places,
it is urged that more frequent services be
held, as in England, and the chnrches be
thrown open as mission" houses. Family
prayer and daily reading of the Word of God,
now too much neglected, are enjoined. The
welfare of toe church is next,refereed to, its
mostiRingefbns' assailants being pointed tint
as toe growing evil of infidelity, Unitarian-
ism, that extreme individualism which in
matters of salvation shuts up the soul from
of our Lord; which allows. any adoration,
other than that of our Blessed Lord himself,

the latter being cited as the great bar to toe
union of Christendom. The letter continues:
“Before we leave this topic, wa must also
warn you against confounding medimral be
lief or usages with those of earlier and. purer
ages, and against their practical substitution
forthe beliefs and usages of onr own Reformed
Church. Especially do we condemn any doc
trine of the Holy Eucharist, wMch implies that
after consecration the proper nature of the
elements of bread and wine does not return;
wMch localizes in them toe bodily presence

pertaining to the perfection of man’s nature,
wherewith He ascended into Heaven, and
there sitteth nntil He returns to judge oU men.

that His sacrifice on toe cross was not “a fnll,
perfect? and sufficient sacrifice; ' oblation and
satisfaction for the sins of the whole world;”
and which would add to onr liturgy cere
monies and rites designed to teach, all or any
of those things. We would at the samp time
deprecate most earnestly those extravagances
,in Ritualism recently introduced, which tend
to assimilate pnr worship £o that of a Church,
not sectarian but. hostile'to onr own. - And
we must .also urge you to remember that the
reverent obedience to their, bishop hiid other
cfeief'iniffiisteis, promised by the clergy at
their ordination, would if faithfully rendered,
prevent these evils. The cleigy are exhorted
to be diligent in their duties - in view of the
vicious times in wMch we live. Amnsementa
similarly referred to in former pastorals are
again painted ont asJnaMeis requiring atten-
of the Royal tion, it being further said that, “In onr. day

•were stationed at the various polls doing the
duty assigned them, when about half-past two
the quiet was broken. .
From the best information we can obtain
toe facts of the difficulty are as follows:.
While one of our oldest and most highly
respectable” citizens was in ‘the performance
of his duty, "as manager of one of the polla,
administering and explaining the oath to a
colored‘chaHenged voter, toe military Mayor
of the city, in a wanton and unprovoked man
ner, objected to his act and used towards him
some very opprobrious and abusive language.
The report of toe trouble was home tortile
City Hall' front gate, where the crowd was
waiting-its tom to enter, and.caused consid
erable excitement among: both wMte and
blacks, culminating in a negro cursing an
Irishman; The negro ' was 'instantly shot—
by whom it is not known, The row then, of
course, became general, pistols being drawn
and fired by both parties; toe negroes, how
ever, running away in large numbers. In toe
light, toe Irishman who received the cursing,
we understand, was mortally wounded and
three* or, four negroes wounded slightly.
Most Of: the pistols of. toe wMte men
were fired in the air, which accounts for
accounts for toe small number of casual-
ties from forty to fifty shots. In a few mo
ments, however, the efforts of the Radical
sheriff; A, O. Ruffin, to rally toe negroes hav
ing failed, quiet was restored, and toe com
pany of Federal soldiers, under command of a
gallant and Mgh toned officer, took controlof
the City Hall yard, not, however, interferi |
with toe balloting. About this time toe shei
advanced towards toe front gate of the yard,
in‘company with a Federal soldier, and di
rected him to arrest a young man whom he
(Rnffin) pointed ont. The young man said
he had done nothing to be arrested for, when
toe soldier turned to Rnffin and said: “If
you wish me to arrest- him, you must get
orders from iny superior officer;”. whereupon
there was considerable hissing and jeering of
Ruffin by the crowd wMch surrounded him,
and in the midst of it a dull sound was heard,
and Rnffin said to toe man to whom he was
speaking at toe time, “I am shot.” The man
told him no, that he was frightened; and even
when he fell, no one supposed it anything but
a feint, until they picked Mm up and found
that he was dead. The ball entered toe back,
and must have passed near the heart, if not
through it.
No one' knew whence toe shot came, nor
who fired it, as no weapon was exposed and
every one supposed the difficulty ended.
The military held the control of toe polls
until their close, and while we go to press toe
city is under command of toe Major, who is
the ranking officer of toe Federal troops at
this point, and the citizens, by Ms directions,
are patroling the streots and reporting to him.
We have heard of no disturbance, however,
since too one at half-past- two, and believe
that had toe negroes been free from Radical
inflnenco, that would not have occurred to
mar the day with its blood.
We are siaeely rejoiced that the day is past,
and think that the Democratic party has not
only done its duty by being moderate, for
bearing and temperate, but it has risen nobly
to a man, and cast a largely increased vote
for right, truth and liberty.
