INFLUENCE.
Upon the three States of West Vix'-
ginia, Ohio and Indiana were enneeu
trated all the influence of the adminis
tration, all their efforts, and all the
vast sums of money forced from the
100.000 office-holders of the party in
power.
These were fearful odds, not again to
be contended against so concentrated,
for in the November elections the con
test will be in every one of thirty-eight
States upon the same day.
Nevertheless, against these odds the
Democrats and reformers of West Vir
ginia and Indiana have been victorious,
and in Ohio they have nli but rescued
a State hitherto deemed hopeless, and
ave created an assurance of victory in

of tbe most horrible facts of the murde
rous affair. The steamer Pocosin, which
left the city at 9 o’clock on Monday night
for Cainhoy, carried one of our most care
fu! and trustworthy reporters, who sends
in the following account.*
The white Democrats, to the number of
about, one hundred and fifty, left the city
at 9 o’clock on Monday .morning, on the
steamer Pocosin, for the purpose of at
tending the joint discussion which was
advertised to be held at the old Bnck
Church, near Cainhoy. They were gene
rally unarmed, by especial agreement
h.tween the Chairman of the Republican
ami Democratic County Committees,
tnough some of the men carried pocket
pistols. Bowen, McKinlay, Cyrus Gaill-
ard and other prominent speakers, escort
ed by about one hundred and fifty ne-
groes, were allowed to go on the boat,
which bad been chartered by the Demo
crats. Arrived at Cainhoy the party start
ed for the old Brick Church where the
meeting was appointed to be held. It will
be remembered, as was stated in yeste r
day’s paper, that it had been agreed that
neither part v should carry guns or rifles
to the place at' meetiug. The whites kept
their faith, and the negroes apparently
did likewise, but only apparently, as the
sequel showed.
THE IUOT BEGAN
While McKinlay was speaking. The ne
groes Imd not kept faith with the whites.
They had brought their muskets to the
meeting, and had secreted them in the
swamp and in an old out house near the
church, leaving .* guard over them The
marked the place, and a number of buck
shot in the door-sill showed that fie had
j been shot while lying on the ground.
After the fight commenced the whites
retreated towards the village. A stand
was made among the tombstones and
another about half way to the villu<'e
among piles of cut wood. When the
party arrived at the village about six men
were missing. Three of these were
brought in in the evening about eMit
o clock by a couple of colored Democrats
who visited the scene. The dead body of
-li. k immons was horribly mutilated. L
was placed in the residence of Mr. Lucas
and sent to the city on the steamer Poco- I

Mr. Wm. Daly, a young white Charlcs-

His words which were taken down by
the Rev. E. C. Logan, at whose residence
the unfortunate man breathed his last, are
as follows:
My i)i:au Mother—I am very serious

cursed me for a d -d Democrat, saying
that I came here to raise a row. I told
them I did no such tiling; that I only
came here to hear the speaking. I send
you my love. I wish I could come to

I am trying to put my trust in the Lord,
nd I hope to be* forgiven my sins and

A SAD SPECTACLE.
The reporter left the city at 9 o’clock
on Monday night for Cainhoy. There
were about one hundred white citizens on
the bout. A sudden fog caused tiie pilot
to miss the channel, and the boat was run
aground about two miles from the village.
A small boat was at once dispatched to
the village, and the steamer remained
aground until about 4 o’clock yesterday
morning, when she managed to climb
over the bank and reach the wharf. The
forty men who had been left to protect
the women and children at the village
were found encamped around the resi
denee of the Rev. E. C. Logan, where all
the ladies and children of the village had
beeD collected. The wounded were lying
in the chapel attached to the residence,
ONE DEAD NEGRO*
W as seen. He was an old man, appa
rently aged about seventy years, and was
lying in tiie road quite dead with a load
of buckshot iu his breast. His name is
John Laehicotte. Mr. J. W. Cannon,
who was present at tbe attack, states that
this was the fellow who shot Mr. Whita
ker, and that he was immediately shot
down, but whether by tbe whites or by
one oi his own color it was impossible to j uu ‘^ kist night and died,

feet from it is a small brick building, evi
dently intended for a vestry room or Sun

body of a dean imrter
About 3 o'clock a body of fifteen armed
negroes came up and asked permission to
remove the body and bury it. They wtra
allowed to do so. These fifteen negroes
were tbe only ones seen during tbe day.
The force ot white citizens, after reaching
the scene cf the attack, were divided into
squads and scattered through the parish
iu search of Mr. Pregnall, who was mi t
sing. The mission was a fruitless one.
They only learned from Coronor Logan
that it had been reported to him that Mr.
Pregnall, after being badly wounded, was
rescued from the mob by a colored man
and carried to tiie city in a small boat. It
was subsequently learned that Mr. Preg-
ual! bad reached the city.
A PREMEDITATED AFFAIR.
The affidavits and statements go very
far towards proving that the attack upon
tiie whites was deliberately planned. Mr.
James Jeffords, who lives at Cainhoy,
told the reporter that as far hack as ten
days ago a negro named George Brady
told him that he did not want to see any
of ids (Mr. Jefford’s) family hurt, aud that
there would be trouble when this meeting
took place. Mr. Jeffords further says
that he came to the city upon the receipt
of this information and endeavored o see
some of tiie Democratic Executive Com
mittee, but failed to find them.
Coronor Logan arrived at the village
yesterday afternoon, and at once proceed
ed to the church for the purpose of hold
ing an inquest over the body of the negro,
John Laehicotte.
