ning a year back, Xdgefield county, South
Carolina, has been the MWtf various con
flicts between the whites and biasks. A had
and bitter feeling las existed between the
races; threats on the one side and incendiar-
«■ on the other, have been the order of the
day.
Lent week the citizen* of the county held a
meeting, the report of which we condense
from the Augusta Chroncle and Sentinel. We

On niolion, all colored people, of whom

SEPOBT.
To Uu Public—Tbe condition of affairs in
Edgefield county st the present time deserves
tbe serious consideration of all who have a
due regard for tbe good order, good govern
ment and welfare of the community in which
we live, and it behooves those who have a
proper appreciation of the reputation which
tbe people of our county have established in
tbe exercise and enjoyment of those privileges
which the Constitution has oonferreo, and in
the faithful and patriotic discharge of those
duties whiob tbe law have imposed, and who
are emulous to perpetuate the law-abiding
and consei vabve spirit which baa character
ized the whito citizens of the county in the
regulation of their political conduct, to con
tribute to the full extent of their abilities and
influence towards the enforcement and pro
tection of private rights, the redress and pre
vention of private wrongs, and towards the
restoration of the public peace.
THE ‘HXDTXXNANT" ATT AIR.
Tbe (sets briefly were that several men, said
to have been white, rode by his boose at night
and discharged several pistol shots at his door,
and rode away, with great speed. Whatever
may be the character of Ned Tennant, 01
whatever may navejbeen tbe nature of tbe acts
which may have rendered him odious in the
estimation of the gentlemen of the community
in which he lived, we hold such conduct
as shooting into his bouse (under cover of
night a* unfair, unjustifiable under any eir-
oum-tances, and as an outrage npon the peace
•nd dignity of the oommunTty, and all good
citizens should participate actively; within the
pale of the law, to visit the wholesome And
vigorous penalties prescribed by statue upon
the heads of all such offenders. But it was
a private’wroug for which the,Jaw provides an
ample and adequate remedy—whioh only
should have been enforced. It was tbe duty
of Ned Tennant to apply to the officers of the
law, or, if the guilty parties were unknown, it
was only what frequently happens that tbe
guilty parties escape unpunished, and he
should have borne in silence what be could
not amend, but only aggravate by bis clamor.
Bather than pnrjne that course Ned Tennant
(Mo was a captain in tbe militia) called to
gether his company.
By the morning of the next day the whole
country was in an uproar. Militiamen com
ing in lrom all quarters armed with guns be
longing to tbe State, and ammunition; threat
ening! of destruction to property, and ven
geance upon the whites were uttered. The
white citizens applied in baste to their friends
for assistance, to which there was immediate
and efficient response. Tbe whites greatly
outnumbered the blacks, bad them surround
ed, and completely cat off from supplies, and
conld have destroyed tbe entire body. Bnt
nothing of the kind was derired ; it was sim
ply intended to protect the community from
tbe violence of tbe seemingly mlnriated
blacks.
As soon as it was agreed that the arms of
tbs militia company should be delivered into
the custody of tbe United stales troops, where
they would be useless for unlawful purposes,
pease was reetoved awl the whites went th
their respective homes ; all of which shows
that nothing save the set of shooting into the
house would have transpired had the militia
company, with all the paraphernalia of war,
not been called into requisition.
Whilst tbe said several scenes were being
enacted, the Bspubiican leaders in tha coun
ty «m actively engaged in widening the
breach between the whites and blacks, and
thereby blighting sverv prospect of a politi
cal leconciliation and uuion. It ia notorious
that the Conservative citizens of our county,
daring the canvass of 1870, endeavored to
harmonize in politics with the Republican*,
and tbe same policy was adopt'd in 1872-
all without avail; and it wa* known that aim-

Usury
that it was made for the protection of life,
liberty and property. Tbe Stale and the
United States protected the two former, but
did toey the latter ? Tbe numerous fires on
all sides showed that they did not. Like his
friend Mr. Shepherd, be did not think people
should wait for tha slow process of the law
where Incendiaries who were setting
fire to houses were caught in tbe act Let tbe
netghberbnori gather together and bang tbe
lacenduwy. Let it be the act .of the entire
community, Lynch law was made use of in
Missouri and other Western States where the
law was inadequate. True a man could shoot
an incendiary who waa setting fire to his
house, but be could not always do so,
Gen. Donovan thought they should not set
hastily in this matter. It was best, he
thought to refer the resolution to tbe com
mittee already appointed, to be held at anoth-
Qt ti*f*
Mr. K. B. Watson thought it would be
wrong to pass tbe resolution. It would be ex
hibiting a state oi lawlessness which they
should deplon. Hs believed that the ltadical
leaders could stop these outrages it they chose
to do so. They were responsible for every
thing.
OoL Bacon said he was as inwaMding a
man as conld be found in South Carolina.
Bnt wbat was the nse of biinging an incendi
ary to the Court House for trial. He would be
turned bow again to barn other houses.
Capt. Lewis Jones thought tbe resolution
was an unfortunate one. It was an unfortu
nate thing that it had been proposed. He was
onwilling that old Edgefield should put her
name upon record as being in favor of lynch
law. If a man caught an incendiary setting
fire to his house he would be justified in
shooting him, but, for Heaven’s sake, do not
adopt lynch law. Another thing, there would
be oatohiug before banging, and innocent
:ht suffer.
en. Gary said didn't the people of Chica
go hang incendiaries to lamp posts during the
great fire. Did any disgrace attach to tbe
people of that oity for the sot ? They did not
propose to punish any one for what had been
done in the past, bat to give warning for tbe
future. If they waited for next sale day to
aot on this matter it might be too late. Half
the gin bouses in the county might toe burned
in that time. He was in favor of banging
man who set fire to a bouse to tbe first tree.
Every man now bad to keep a sentinel over bis
gin house. Pass tbe resolution, and bis word
for it there would be no more gin houses
burned.
Mr. Shepherd said they owed it to them
selves and to posterity to denounce snch vio
lence and lawlessness. Snch action would be
too unlike tbe high character which the peo
ple of Edgefield had always borne. No snch
sentiment had ever been published by any
civilized community in tbe history of tbe
world. Bncb action would be disgraceful in
the extreme.
Gov. Bonham believed with Gen. Donavan
that tbe resolution should be retsrred to tbe
committee.
Judge B. B. Carpenter said be was not a
citizen of Edgefield county and therefore did
not tike to speak without tbe permission of
tbe meeting.
On motion, Jndge Carpenter was requested
to address tbe meeting.
Jndge Carpenter said he wonld say that as
Judge of tbe Circuit Court be bad always met
with the greatest kindness from the citizens
of Edgefield county.
Every citizen had a right under the com
mon law to arrest any man committing a fel
ony. Under tbe statute law of South Caro
lina, where a man was committing a felony
and would not be arrested be conld be snot.
Was not shooting as good as hanging ? Was
there any luxury in banging V The law was
high and broad enough to reach all
offenders, no matter what the crime.
The danger in tbe resolution was that some
man might be hung on suspicion. He knew
that there was not a man in Edgefield who
wonld not be horror-stricken at tne idea of
hanging an innocent man. Edgefield bore a
reputation, whether daserved or not, for ttu-
bnlenoe. Would they add to that reputation
by passing this resolution aDd publishing it
to tbe world- Abide by the law, bring offen
ders to tbe bar of justice. and let them be
punished. He had spoken because be be
lieved that the coarse enggesfed by himself
and others was the best for tbe people.
Gen. Gary said he was not surprised at tbe
course of Judge Carpenter. He was a repre
sentative of the law, and an honorable repre
sentaiive of it He conld not have spoken
other than be did. But it was patent that
during Moses' administration jastice could
not be done. All criminals were pardoned.
Would Chamberlain be any better? Some of
bis appointments sinee he has been in office
shows that he is not This was not a question
of race. Alt they wanted was protection. He
claimed that there was no adequnate punish
meat for incendiarism.
Maj. W. T. Gary thought there was no oc
oasion for tbe resolution. But since it bad
been brought up vote npon and adopt it.
Gen. Duuovan's motion to refer tbe reaolu
tionto tbe committee was put and lost

Mr. Shepherd said the committee had also

Berlin, Nov. 14.—Tbe European -women,
thengh far behind their trans-Atlantic sisters
in advancement, are not wilting to work
slowly np to a free, independent position. Tbe
msjoritj retain willingly tbeir life of depend
ence, while a few dartog spirits, by one great
stride, emulate their masters and step boldly
ont on the platform as adepts in every species
of roenery. Adela Spitzeder has not her
equal in America, the land of free women and
enslaved husbands. The skillful intriguante
carried on a banking business whose success
blinded her financial compeers, bnt deluded
her victims into believing to the last moment
that she was wronged and perseonted. Tbe
inexorable law did not deal leniently with
ber, and she is now paying tbe penalty “of
trying to be a man, and with men 10 cope.”
Whether it be tbe result of the age, defec
tive education, or naturally low moral status,
it is difficult to determine; but is is very cer
tain that here women who strive to burst the
bonds and be self-snstaining are nnwilling to
follow the slow paths of honest dealing, and
thus far have not proven creditable examples
of tbe result to be accomplished in tbe femi-
nine.struggle for freedom. A severe examina
tion is going on now in Potsdam with a Frau
Kirst, who has swindled tbe merchants in
that city to the sum of 200,000 thalers. Tbe
role, this time, is not played with the smaller
shop-keepers, or, if they too are snfleiers, they
have not yet come forward with their claims.
But the influential merchants, deceived by the
outward fine appeaiance of Fran Kirst, deliv
ered to her unhesitatingly their richest goods.
The mystery connected with tbe matter is that
she drove to the stores in a court carriage,
in which sat another lady known to belong
to the court.
Of coarse the ‘ ‘Hoflieferauts” or purveyors
to the crown conld not do otherwise than tor-
rush the goods for which she called. These
same goods Fran Kirst, with the aid of ao-
cemplices, disposed of to different people at
ridiculously low prices, and then to prove
herself more thoroughly the rogue she is,
cheated her accomplices out of their sbars of
their proceeds, ods ot them to the amount of
17,000 thalers. The difficulty in sifting tbe
matter lies in the natural hesitanoy ot the
purchasers to annouoce themselves as the
persona who liought the rich wares at a price
they kcew to be tar below tbe intrinsic value,
thereby closing tbeir eyes to a species of dis-
bocestv, if not actually encouraging it. Tbe
court has published a call lor all of Frau
Kirst's customers to present themselves be
fore tbe expiration of fourteen days. Thus
tbe case is in abeyance, tbe examination of
which is looked forward to with the eager in
terest that always attends derelictions iu high
life.
A BAD WOMAN OP MOSCOW.
A still more remarkable case, some reports
of which tbe papers mast already have carri
ed you, transpired in Bnssia. The swind
ling was carried on to an nnheard of extent,
and by an abbess of an old and celebrated
monastery. Her trial took place lately in
Moscow, in which we have all bad a deep in
terest Tbe coart-room had been conetantly
filled with all classes. Advocates and officers,
monks and nans in cowls and robes, high
born ladies in mourning garments, clergy
men and liveried servants, the corpulent rep
resentatives of mercantile class have all press
ed their way into the over-heated room, and
suffered patiently tbe crowding, and pushing,
and squeezing, in order to hear the verdict
pronounced by Jthe judge, or watch tbe
prond bearing of the beautiful woman. Tbe
Abbeas Metorfanie is the daughter of tbe
governor of Kankasus Baron Bosen. She re
ceived an excellent education, w.vs coart lady
to the empress and then took the veil that
was chosen tor her. She did net willing ac
cept tbe brilliant position in which she is now
playing so onenviable a part, but it
was the wish of many distinguished
persons with whom she was intimste, and
also of the Moscow Metropolitan philaret, who,
as a saint, universally honored. Metofanie is
held by tbe majority of spectators in the great
est respect, and sympathy for her is deeply
and openly expressed. Her friends hoped
that her high position as abbess would save
her, as the jury belonged to the mercantile
class who are the most bigoted zealots. There
are a half-dozen other persons of different
standing implicated, wno have allowed them
selves to be used in the swindle by tbe abbess.
Two hundred witnesses have been summoned
for end againet the accused. Tbe reading of
the indictment occupied three hours. At the
close all eyes were turned with tbe moat in
tense excitement to the great Don door
tnrough which the prisoner was to enter. Fi
nally it swung heavily back on its creaking
hmges, and two policemen,with drawn swords,
entered bringing with them the nobie lady’s
accomplices. A few minutes later, through an
other door cam - the abbess, accompanied by,
instead of a gendarme, as every one expeoted,
a perfectly beautiful young girl, a novice in
r dirision“ro the* house I «L oi »ter, wb ° had insisted upon sharing
1 the hardships of the prison with her beloved
abbess. An arm-chair had been provided
for the noble prisoner, so she sat off from tbe
side of the others accused. Bbe has a noble
figure, fine feature 1, and intelligent oounten
ance, that betray tbe energy she has shewn in
her work. Her whole sppearsnee is very im
posing, snd heightened, also, by the peculiar
religious dress which she wears. Upou her
breast were three heavy gold crosses that
sparkled with precious stones, the gift of
coble persons, one from the empress of Bnssia.
Her manner before the coart w»s very clever ;
she understood thoroughly how to extricate
herself from all cross-questioning and showed
through all tbe examination that she had been
aocasiomed to move in the very host society.
In answer to tbe questions of tbe judge, she
related circumstantially the history of her
past life, and with an eloquenoe that betrayed
talent for oratory. Her remarks were
listened to with an intensity that bordered on
frenzy, titanding at the bead of a celebrated
cloister which was financir lly completely
bankrupt, she threw all the energy and execu
tive ability ot ber active nature into ber wark,
and the great need ot money was, she said, Ihe
cause ot her deviation from tbe path of recti
tude. The severe examination proved, nnfortn-
nstely for the plausible story of Mother Mato-
fanie, that she had for a series of years carried on
a systematic, well-laid scheme of swindling
Bbe had.in ber employ a cla-s of people whom
she controlled by assuring them she had pow
erful influeDoe, uudoould obtain for them let
ters and orders in rotnrn for tbeir servioes.
Tbe crafty and ambitious merchants of Mos
cow were willing tools in tbe hands of tbe ab
bess, and many large sums were given in tbs
good cause in the bope of honors in return.
From those, however, who wonld not give,
she obtained it in a fraudulent manner by
man and servants, paying for the same 300,-
000 roubles. A blank petition on the em
press was given her to sign hy the abbess,
which was afterwards filled out by tbe latter?
and used as a money draft, bnt wisely dated
back by the abbess previous to tbe time the
widow hae placed under guardianship.
The widow, who appeared personally in
court, wishing to defend herself in public de
clared she only took a glass now and then.
Mother Metofanie, who showed herself not en
tirely devoid of s feeling of revenge, insisted
that she drank so much that sbe was often ta
ken np senseless. Tbe noble abbess was
found guilty on every point, loses her posi
tion and personal freedom, and is banished
tor three and a half years to the Yeniseisk
government in Siberia. At the expiration of
1 his time, she must remain eleven years lon
ger in Siberia, but has tbe privilege of choos
ing her location. “Verily the way of the trans
gressor is hard."
The United Statee, with all her emancipa
ted women, can scarce priduce three such
notable examples of roguery as those men
tioned above A brother of Frau Kirst, one
of the mounted policemen of Berlin, has been
arrested as one of ber accomplices, and the
trial bids fair to be as exciting as that of Moth
Metofanie's.
A NOBLE AMERICAN WOMAN.
In the meantime, a true American woman is
showing the Berliners what an educated,
self reliant woman may do. Miss Dr. Sarah
E. Fainas is about to deliver a course of med-
ioal lectures here. The prospect at first was
rather discouragiog. One of the physicians
assured Miss Furnas, who until her health
tailed had entire charge ot one of the wards
for obstetrics in a hospital in New York, that
such a thing was unheard of in Berlin; she
laid herself liable to arrest, imprisonment,
eta, bat thanks to the untiring efforts ol Dr.
Hirsbfleld, who is a very tower of strength,
Miss Furnas was greet'd by a very fair audi
enoe for tha first lecture, and her pleasant
manner of Bpeaking and instructive lessons
will doubtless fill the honse in fnture. Miss
Fnraas has lectnred in Paris and in Italy,
with marked Buccess, and in Florence was
pressed to repeat her lectures.
WOMEN IN ITALY AND GERMANY.
In Italy, during the clerical rule, it was
found impossible to have women or girls em
ployed in the telegraph offices on account of
the priests working against it in the confes
sional. This trouble now done away with
the diffioully is to find those who are capable,
and though the demand is that the applicants
Shall only understand French and Italian, at
the last examination bnt six stood the test
ont of twenty-seven who presented themselves
—two Homans, two ont of Piedmont and two
ont of Lombardy. In Berlin several girls are
employed in tbe telegraph offices. I notice
one ot tbe published restrictions in regard to
dress is that the employees shall neither paint
nor wear their hair loose on their back.
From this one might infer that the German
ladies did sometimes venture to touch up
Faded complexions, though I ha 1
assured by “Germans who know” that
the German women are entirely ig
norant of the use of cosmetics,
and that if a woman with her cheeks paint
ed is Been on the streets here, there are ten
chances to one she is an American. Headers
of the Gegenwart will remember a rather sav
age controversy on the subject in that paper
last summer between a certain Albert Boebme,
who wrote from Detroit, and Capt. J. Snow
den Hamblin, an American, then in B rlin,
This lioehme says ; “In general, one does not
notice the unhealthy white tint of the Ameri
cans, because painting and all other means of
beautifyiDg the complexion is carried to sd
excess that I never have seen elsewere, owing
to the vanity and fondness for dress, which is
the prominent trait of both sexes.” Col.
Hamblin, with trne American gallantry, de
fends his countrywomen from this unjust as
persion, and refutes his slander with a few
truths which it would be well enough for tbe
gentleman to ponder well, or he might at
least discover he had not gained entrance into
the best socieiy, and foiled to perceive tbe dif
ference, owing to tbe resemblance it bore to
that of his earlier associations.

in regard to it.
Mr. W. W. Adams moved that the resolu

The resolution was then put and adopted.
On motion, the meeting adjourned.
Mr. Oswtll Livingstone, son of the late Dr.
Livingstone writes to tbe London Daily News
to state that the recent sale of artioles belong
ing to the doctor, which took place in London,
was entirely unknown to the members of his
family- He complains that on the arrival of the
body of his father at Unayanyembe,a consider
able amount of his belongings were appropria
ted for Dm hi of Lieutenant Cameron and his
00mfades. Among the articles sold in Lon
don, Mr. Livingetone doubts whether any
thing exoept the air cushions were actually
with Dr. Livingstone from I860 to 1873.
Mr. Livingstone oomplains somewhat bitterly
of the course taken ty tbose into whose

that had Lieutenant Murphy disrensed with

Baimio Sunken Vessels. —A piper was re
cently read before one of tbe soientifio socie
ties of London, on an improved method of
raising snnken veeeti, also for the prevention
of foanderiDg. The main features of this
method consists m first etoeing hermetically
by the hatches, port boles, and all other open
ings in the dock or upper or side-ports ot the
snnkan vessel, and, after having tbns elosed
the opening, to pomp down sir to the bottom
of the ship’s hail or tbe deok, each tube being
pawed down close to Urn bottom of the ship.
The air whioh is thus introduced into tbe bot
tom 01 Urn vessel, rises by itself, inside of the
ship, towards tbe underside of the deck, and,
not being able to escape, presses the water
contained in the reseel down and out through
the hole wbieb earns bv accident, or tbrongh
kolas made ia the vessel's bottom to allow ot
each escape of water. The vessel is by this
meant made boayant, causing it to rise to the
smfkce, to prevent the foundering ot vessels,
or lo greatly reduce the risk of snch disaster,
is proposed to provide them with air-tight cov
en, w .loh, when Axed over the openings in
tfis vassal, will, it ia assumed, confine the air
therein, and keep tha vessel boayant by pre
venting the ea trance of water.

TERRIBLE ACCIDENTS AND MCRDEB8
seem to be the order of the day in Berlin.
On Wednesday night a cafe caught fire and
tbe wise men thoDgbt to extinguish it with
out giving the alarm, but finding, too late, it
had grown beyond their power, they be
came bewildered with irigbt, and instead of
Bounding the fire alarm, ran np stairs wbere
the servants were sleeping snd screamed so
violently that the frightened sleepers sprang
from their beds, and finding the staircase on
ffre, five sprang through the windows. One
breaking her back aied instantly; another
broke her knee, and with four others more or
less wounded was carried to the hospital; five
were bnrned and suffocated, and the remaind
er re'ened. No alarm was given until tbo
night watchman heard the screams of the
affrighted servants. He gave the signal, and
in less than five minutes tbe engines were at
work, bat too late to save the poor sufferers.
The Are department ia certainly under the
most perfeot oontrol of any I ever seen. This
morning appears in the papers a pressing ap
peal to tbe people to remain in the honse, tor
in every instanoe have they been rescued by
the firemeD, aDd seldom have any lives been
lost, except by reckless jumping.
Tbe two murders I only mention to show
that America stands not alone in acts of bra-
tality, though a friend asked me if it were
possible a man could murder hie five com
rades snd hide their dead bodies. It is not
only possible but too true, that there are
fiends in every nation, in all classes of society.
A child going into a village with some gros-
chens in her hand, was met by a party of men
who took her money from her. Bhe said, “ I
know you, and will tell on you.” “ Will you?”
they answered, and then held her aod cut out
her eyes and sent her home. A poor old fran,
who was earning a few groschens carrying a
heavy basket on her back into a village, was
taken by a party of men and ont into quarters
and ber few groeebens taken from her. It is
hard to say which shows the most brutality,
one man to murder five persons, or a party of
men to kill one woman, and worse than kill
an innocent child I have strayed into a
very disagreeable subject, and will close, ieet
I be lee to drawing unfavorable comparisons
between the “greatest military nation of the
world ” and her more peaceful neighbors.

For the Lawyers.
Extraot lrom a speech of Hon. Matt Car
penter before Columbia Ltw School, Wash
ington, D. O., June 8, 1870 :
“The first, and a very important matter to
be determined, in'locatiou. This question, in
general, is\ery easy to be decided ; for I as
sume that every one of you who has sufficient
enterprise to sucoeed at all, will immediately
bend bis steps to tbe West or South. If you
are poor—and I hope you are, for I regard
that aa an almost indispensable condition oi
your success—tbe expenses of living in tbe
large cities of tbe E«Nt will drive you into the
ourrent ot Empire westward or to the south,
which now released from tbe incubus of
slavery is destined to unparalleled prosperity
in the next quarter of a century. • ’ '
Select some town which will grow, and grow
with it; some town where tbe saw and the
hammer are constantly heard ; and the har
mony of various industries will cheer you on.
If you find the right plaoe, it is no objection
that many lawyers .are already there. That
fact merely attests tbe existence of tnsiness,
and it ia a business plaoe you desire to find.
There may be a thousand lawyers in a city,
but a score of the best of them will do all
that basinees which tbe real lawyer loves to
do ; the next hundred will be engaged in pre
paring business ; the balance will be the
raiders and bummers of the profession,
skirmishing for subsistence, aa opportunity
offers, within or without the lines.
preparing blank papers aa petitions to persona

then filled tbem ont to suit her wants. Three
of these papers, tbe one the cause of ber ar
rest, represented the united snm of 1,200,000
roubles. A merchant, who haa ainoe died,
aoaghther assistance with tbe authorities,
who punished him for belonging to a certain
sect “the Ikopkgen." Another fell into ber net
throngh his desire to obtain an order on ac
count of his great wealth and to be raised to
a higher station. The third, s widow sought
bar help to free hereelf from a guardianship

on account of extravagant living ana dissipa

in the convent, whiob sbe did with her ooaoh-
The Imparoial says that crime, aocordiog to
the official statistics, has considerably deoroaa
ed in Bpain this year in comparison with for
mer years, and that this ia owing to the fact
that all the criminals have gone over to the
Oarilsts, because, as snob, they can rob and
assassinate with impunity. This means,
feet, (one of our Bpanisb correspondents
writes), that crime haa decreased on paper,
bnt inoreaeed in reality, snd that the power
of the law has decreased In pro
portion to the increase of orime.
