THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
SUNDAY, May >:s, 1875.
GEORGIA GENERAL NEWS.
The Valdosta Times is informed
**y a gentleman from Florida that
on Saturday, tlio first day of May,
“ a party of Civil Bighters as
sembled and celebrated the occasion by
crowuiug Mr. Peter Gildersleve King of
May. The King, after asking to know
his rights as King—what was cus
tomary on such occasions—and being
informed that ho had the authority to
do as he plejised, His Royal Highness
proceeded to levy a tax of 25 cents
each on all of his subjects present. This
worked very well except in the case of
one William Sutton, he being unable
to respond. A committee of six was
appointed to reason the case with him,
aud said committee, tiuding all other
arguments of no avail, took him out
and gave him 150 across a log.”

Columbus San: Under the laws of
Georgia it is made the same as cattle
stealing— not less than two nor more
than four years in the penitentiary,
unless the jury trying the case shall
recommend the prisoner to mercy. In
the latter case the punishment is a fine
not to exceed SI,OOO, imprisonment in
the common jail not exceeding six
months, or labor on the chain gang
not exceeding twelve months—one or
more of these punishments in the dis
cretion of the Court. If such laws as
these were enforced it would be idle to
say that hogs cannot be raised in this
State as well as cotton. The fleecy
staple can be stolen us well as bacon.
Columbus Sun: “Opelika was thrown
into a good deal of excitement Tuesday
afternoon by a horse running from
over by the bank up Tallapoosa street,
through the store house of Mr. F. M.
Sutton, and then to the back of the es
tablishment of Messrs. Dawson &
Grifliu, going in and climbing on flour
barrels, and finally out, in the street,
was captured, and in a few moments
dropped dead.
Sparta T.mes and Planter: “Mon
tour Cotton Factory 7, at this place, has
suspended operations, and the stock,
etc., are offered for sale. We do not
know the cause of suspension, and
hope it wifi not continue long. It can
doubtless be made one of the best pay
ing pieces of property 7 in the State.
Aud that paper has the following:
Those of our citizens who took obser
vations about two o’clock last Sunday
morning, report a strange, and for the
time frightful phenomenon. Avery
strong east wind prevailed for some
time before, aud about the hour men
tioned an exceedingly dense, dark
cloud came rolling up, in such away 7
as to indicate the approach of another
dreadful tornado. Suddenly, while the
cloud was very dense, there was an
opening in it immediately overhead,
when the sky above became so red as
to present the idea of a sea of blood.
When the lowness of the cloud and the
position of the sun at that hour is re
membered, this is, we think, a strange
phenomenon.
The sou of ex-Postmaster Bard has
been tried and sentenced at Atlanta in
Judge Hopkins’ Court for assault. The
punishment for an assault, as laid down
in section 4310 of the Code, makes the
penalty SI,OOO line, 12 months in the
chain gang, aud six months in the peni
tentiary, as the ultimatum, and a nomi
nal line, without any imprisonment, as
the minimum.

at the" time advertised.
A CORDIAL INVITATION.
Tlie Soptli and the Centennial.
The N. Y. Herald strongly urges upon
Southern States the necessity of being
well represented at the coming centen
nial, aud thinks that it will be suicidal
foi; them to refrain from exhibiting
their products. The editor says :
“The Southern States should come
to Philadelphia not alone with a feel
ing of fraternity, hut with emulation.
Let them show what the South really
possesses—its strength, its hidden
weal tii, its capacity for invention ana
discovery for the arts aud scieuces.—
The Southern people made a record be
fore the war in polities aud statesman
sliip, and during the war in valor and
devotion, that they need never
neglect. The country of Calhoun and
Lowndes and Clay and Jefferson, of
Lee and Johnston and Stonewall Jack
sou, may have no fear as to its lame
among nations which respect valor and
political wisdom. Let them now
achieve auother trophy—that of ex
cellence in art and sciences. Let the
Southern States show the entire world
that sn emancipating the slave, in de
stroying negro labor, the war has not
destroyed their genius and discipline.
There are no nobler commonwealths on
tlie earth than Texas and Virginia,
North Carolina and Kentucky. Why
should they not appear at the Centen
nial e.ide by side with Massachusetts
aud New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio?
They have within themselves elements
of imperial wealth to reconstruct the
commonwealths upon a sounder basis
than even what existed under the
proudest days of the old Southern do
minion.”
A heroic cat rescued two of her
kittens from a burning barn, during
the recent Montpelier fire, and leaped
through the flames for auother. After
the fire, she was found, very badly
burned, but still living.
it is stated that of about 1000 horses
which have died in New York eity dur
ing the past winter, 300 had died from
rot aud other diseases of the hoof,
caused by walking in salted slosh, aud
127 from nails caught, in their feet.
about the ladies fashions,
it is worthy of remark that there has
been this year a revival of calicoes. It
is said that Madame Thiers, who now
sets the Paris fashions, instead of the
Empress Eugenie, is responsible for
their restored favor in the fashionable
world.

LETTER FROM CHARLESTON.
The Charleston Regatta—Savannah
Against Charleston—The Victors—
The Diamond Stolen from an Au
gusta Gentleman—Escape of Shar
key, the New York Murderer —A
Possible Hanging—News About the
State.
[From our Regular Correspondent.]
Charleston, May 22.
Oars aud spoons, aud shells and gigs,
and sculls and wherries, constitute the
topic of talk in the City by the Sea for
the present. As your readers have
already beeu informed, the great row
ing race for the Association champion
flag and S2OO came off to-day. The
Savannah oarsmen came, saw, have
been conquered and are about to go
home wiser, sadder and poorer men.
And this is how it happened : There
can be no manner of doubt that the
Schley crew, of Savannah, and the Pal
metto crew, of Charleston, are tire
strongest boating teams south of the
Potomac; and there exists between
them that generous rivalry which can
only exist between Georgians and Car
olinians. Hence, when it was announced
that the Schleys were coming over from
Savannah the interest in the shell race
which came off to-day spread like wild
fire. Savannah sent over a whole
train load of moueyed men to back her
aquatic pets and there were not a few
in Charleston who did likewise. The
Palmetto boys, the pride of Charles
ton, had their backers also, and in the
pools which were sold before the race
both crews were tho favorites and
both crews brought faucy prices. The
other four boats which entered sold
low down. They were the Coupers, of
Savannah, the Electrics, Careltuas, aud
Queen Cities of Charleston. As you
have been advised and as is generally
the case, the favoiites were beaten
and the amount of money that changed
hands ou the result is more than I
dare to think of. It is due to the
favorites to say, however, that their
defeat was probably due to accidental
causes. Both the Vernons and the
Palmettos rowed in the centre of the
course, and as the Ashley river is at
best not very comfortable for shell
boats, and w r as yesterday decidedly
lumpy, these frail shells shipped water.
The Vernons who led the race
handsomely for the first mile
and a half lost their advantage by
reason of their boat tilling with
water, but like all true Georgians
stuck to their work and pulled
through to the finish in the face of cer
tain defeat. The Palmettos met a sim
ilar fate, but their boat sank with them
before they could reach the terminal
point, and so the race was won by the
Caroliuas. The only thing that saved
our Georgia fiiends from baukruptcy
was their bets on their crew against the
Palmettos, for although the latter were
in the lead when their boat sunk, they
failed to pass the line and were conse
quently distanced. The following is a
summary of the race. Four oared shells,
distance 2 miles, straight away, slack
water, G entries:

2. Electric “ “ 13:24
3. Vernon “ “ 13:30
4. Queen City “ “ distanced

6. Palmetto, cedar “ “
What the Savannah Oarsmen failed
to do, however, the Savannah Yacht
men promise to accomplish, aud in the
sailing race which takes place to-day,
the Savannah yachts stand to vviu by
long odds.
Tlie Diamond Steal.
The policemen who lord it over the
people of Columbia, and who stole a
diamond pin from a robber who stole
it from a gentleman living in your city,
have been indicted by the grand juiy.
Of all the thievish and knavish prac
tices that have marked tho career of
tho rascally officials in this State since
reconstruction, this is tho most 11a
grant robbery that has ever been
brought to light. The action of the
City Council of Columbia, who should
have made a prompt investigation into
the matter, clearly implicates some of
its members in the transaction, aud it is
not at ail improbable that tho dia
monds stolen from the original thief,
by a licensed thief, will figure in future
days in the family of some of the pluu
dexing shoddy who have grown rich
upon the public fuuds in South Caro
lina.
Escape of Sharkey, the New York
Murderer.
Quite a commotion was caused here
on Thursday last by the arrival at
quarantine station of the steamer
Crescent City from Havana. It
was generally believed and in
fact had been officially telegraphed
to the Government that Sharkey, the
New York murderer, about whose ex
tradition from Cuba there were numer
ous and vexatious official complications
aud circumlocutions, had left Havana
on the steamer. A few hours after her
arrival here it, began to be whispered
around that a State prisoner had
escaped from the Crescent City, and in
a shoit time came messages from
Washington enquiring about it. There
was a hurried private conference be
tween the captain of the vessel and the
collector of the port, after which the
Crescent City immediately hurried to
sea and has not since been heard from.
Your correspondent was informed by
the captain that Shaxkey was not ou
board bis vessel, and the question now
arises whether he was put on board at
Havana or whether the wily officials
had spirited him off before the vessel
left poit. If so wo may confidently ex
pect another blustering demand on the
part of the Washington authorities
and another inglorious back down
like that which followed the Yirginius
butchery.
A Possible Hanging.
At the last term of tho court for
Charleston county, four negro murder
ers were tried and convicted of murder
and sentenced to be hanged. Two of
them had their sentences commuted to
imprisonment and the other two have
been twice respited. One of them, a
mulatto policeman, named Bunch, was
sentenced for murdering a white man
some time in December last. He was
to have been hung last month, but the
Governor being absent, the Lieutenant-
Governor of the State, a mulatto, as
sumed the executive functions and
granted him a respite until the 28th of
this month. I mention the circum
stance because a good deal of feeling
has been exhibited by the negroes here
in reference to Bunch’s case, and the
whites are naturally anxious to see
whether Governor Chamberlain will
let the law of the land be executed or
truckle to the negroes. Every black
and white Radical politician in the
county has signed the petition for his
pardon, and the murderer is publicly
prayed for every Sunday in all the ne
gro' churches, among whom he has
come to be regarded as a sainted
martyr rather than as a condemned
felon.
News about the State-
Instead of horrid war and lyneli law
they are having May parties on the
bloody ground of Ridge Spring, in
Edgefield county. This is since Gov.
Chamberlain disarmed the negro mi

THE BARNWELL-BLACK VILLE
CIVIL WAR.
The Causes That Led to the Second
Election for County Seat in Barn
well-Corrupt Men at the Helm. &c.
[Special Correspondence Constitutionalist ]
Barnwell County, S. C., May 21,1875.
As some advocate of the chief
seat of Leslieism, Blackville, has ren
dered his version of the recent election
and its results to the people at large
through the Chronicle and Sentinel, of
your eity, I beg you to allow me a
small place in your paper to give the
proceedings up to the present time.
Before the town of Blackville was
known, Barnwell was designated as the
county seat, and remained so until the
tidal wave of corruption hurled among
us a poor, tainted Brooklynite in the
shape of Charles P. Leslie, who took
up his quarters at a station on the S.
C. R. R. known as Ninety-six, now Elko,
where he engaged in a' small business
of trafficking with the negroes of that
section, and would tell them to bring
him seed cotton at any and all hours.
Here he remained for some time, and
after closing out, or about that time,
he came to Barnwell, where a warrant
was issued by a Justice of the Peace
for his arrest for some offense. Upon
failing to give bond he was marched to
jail. After his examination he took up
his lodgings in Blackville, and com
menced pouring his vile incendiarisms
into the ears of the ignorant negroes.
Being a very sliek-tongued fellow,
he knew from observation what
was suited to slide down the palate of
the belligerent and ignorant, so out he
comes on what they call the Union Re
publican ticket for the Senate, to which
he was elected. It was about this time
his animosity toward Barnwell had
kindled to such a burning blaze he
sought to rob her of the past old land
mark, the Court House. He introduced
his bill to provide for the location of
the same at Blackville, and, of course,
ran it through without any opposition.
It is a known fact, from tiiat lime up
to now, that he has been loved, hon
ored and adored by the few men in
Blackville who constitute the riug.
About this time he received the ap
pointment of Land Commissioner for
South Carolina, which office he abused
with all his skill, and dually sold out
aud left for New York. Some time
after that he met a prominent gentle
man of this State, wdxo was visiting
New York, and remarked to him that
“ he was now done with South Caro
lina ; he had made money enough out
of her to do him.” During tins ab
sence ou his part a colored man hei’e
by the name of Nix was elected by the
negroes to the Legislature. Upon his
arriv il in Columbia he went to work to
re-establish the Court House at. Barn
well, where it was conveniently
situated to all the people of
the county, both white aud col
ored, which he succeeded in doing.
His bill provided that the new Court
House building should be sold within
GO days after the election which was
decided in favor of Barnwell by a small
majority, and no money used in said
election. The building was advertised by
the then acting Commissioners as those
elected were in the Penitentiary, and
sold according to the requirements of
the bill. Promptly ou the morning of
the sale the merchants of Blackville
were here and bought the building for
$4,200 cash. This was more than those
composing the ring could stand. They
met, held a consultation and determin
ed to send for the champion and god,
Chas. P. Leslie, who, when he received
the telegram inviting hiru back replied,
that there was something else of more
importance to him in returning than the
Court House scheme. Nevertheless the
bargain was closed, and in due time, to
gull the darkey, Leslie arrived. And
you are no doubt acquainted with the
style of his speeches to them, if you
remumber the Grays x Roads affair in
the lower part of this county. He was
elected by the negroes t • the Senate,
running far ahead of his ticket,
and then drew up his bill provid
ing for the permanent location of
the County Seat at Blackville, but
found it too warm in the House
for it to go through. Seeing it was
liable to melt on its way, he effected a
compromise by leaning for a second
time to the voters of the county. This
passed, and in duo time the election
came off—though beforehand every
darkey of influence was bought up, and
the machine had a one-sided Leslie
twang until some parties decamped
with all the boxes, ballots and poll
lists, which was done no doubt by some
one advocating Barnwell as the proper
place. But T can assure you, Mr. Ed
itor, that the staunchest Barnwell men,
even those of the town, condemn the
action. Qh, Ring of Leslieites, blush
for tlxe cause of honesty and humanity,
as you did thrust upon us old Bo
nanza, C. H. E irthworm Leslie !

[From St. Paul’s.
“ Until the Day Break.”
Will it pain me there forever,
Will it leave me happy never.
This weary, weary gnawing or the old,
dull pain ?
Will the sweet yet bitter yearning,
That at my heart is burning,
Throb on and on forever, and forever be in
vain ?
O weary, weary longing!
O sad, sweet memories thronging
From the sunset-lighted woodlands of the
dear and holy past!
O hope and faith undying !
Shall I never cease from sighing ?
Must my lot among the shadows forever
more be cast ?
Shall 1 never see the glory
That the Christ knight of old story
Sir Galahad, my hero, saw folded round
his sleep ?
The full ana complete beauty
With which God gilds all duty
For hearts that burn toward heaven from
the everlasting deep—
From that conflict ceasing never,
From the toil increasing ever!
From the hard and bitter battle with the
cold and callous world ?
Will the sky grow never clearer ?
Will the hills draw never nearer
Where the golden city glitters in its rain
bow mists impearled ?
Ah, me, that golden city 1
Can God then have no pity!
I have sought it with such yearning for so
many bitter years?
And yet the hills' blue glimmer,
And the portal’s golden shimmer
Fade ever with tho evening, and the dis
tance never nears!
O weary, weary living!
O foemen unforgiving!
O enemies that meet me in the earth and in
the air!
O flesh that clogs my yearning!
O weakness aye returning!
Will ye never cease to trouble? Wifi ye
never, never spare?
Will my soul grow never purer?
Will my hope be never surer!
Will the mist wreaihs and the cleft-gates
from my path be never rolled?
Shall I never, never win it,
That last ecstatic minute,
When the journey’s guerdon waits me be
hind those hills of gold?
Alas! tho clouds grow darker,
And the hills loom ever starker,
Across the leaden mist-screen of the heav
ens dull and gray.
Thou must learn to bear thy burden,
Thou must wait to win thy guerdon,
Until thy daybreak cometh and the shad
ows floe away.
A Library of Universal In
formation.
The American Cyclopaedia,
Entirely Revised and Fully Illustrated.
With Maps and Engravings.
Complete in Sixteen Valumee.
Edited by GEO. RIPLEY and CHARLES
A. DANA.
THE NECESSITY FOR A CYCLOPEDIA :
Every one that reads, every one that min
gles in society, is constantly meeting with
allusions to subjects on which lxc needs
and desires further information. In conver
sation, in trade, in professional life, on tho
farm, in the family, questions are contin
ually arising, which no man, well-read or
not, can always satisfactorily answer. If
the facilities for reference are at hand,t hey
are consulted, and not only is the curiosity
gratified and the stock of knowledge in
creased, but perhaps information is gained
and ideas are suggested that will directly
contribute to the business success of the
party concerned.
But; how are these facilities for reference
to be had ? How are the million to pro
cure a Library ? How are they to obtain
the means of informing themselves on
every point in which they may be interest
ed; of satisfying themselves with respect
to persons and places, questions of art and
science, religion and polities, literature and
philosophy, agriculture, commerce, aud
manufactures? How can the working
man hope to bring within Lis reach the
whole circle of sciences, and every point of
human knowledge as developed up to the
present moment? Wo answer, bv sub
scribing to the AMERICAN CYCLOPAEDIA
A Cyclopaedia is pre-eminently the work
for our country and generation. No one
has t ime to grope among a hundred differ
ent works for ever.s fact required, without
tho certainty of finding it at last. When a
Cyclopaedia, embracing every important
subject, and having its topics alphabetical
ly arranged, not a moment is lost. The
matter in question is found at once, di
gested, condensed, stripped of all that is
irrelevant and unnecessary, aud verified
by a comparison of the best authorities.
Moreover, while only men of fortune can
collect a library complete in all the depart
ments of knowledge, a Cyclopeecia, worth
inlitseif, for purposes of reference, at least,
a thousand volumes, is within the reach of
all—the clerk, the merchant, the profes
sional man, the farmer, the mechanic. In
a country like ours, where tho humblest
may be called to responsible positions re
quiring intelligence and general informa
tion, tiie value of such a work cannot be
over-estimated.
HOW TO GET A LIBRARY.
The “ American Cyclopaedia” is in fact a
library in itself. It Is a knowledge of the
centuries boiled down; the essence of all
books crystalized. It stands on the shelves
ready to answer briefly every conceivable
question in physics, history, politics, art,
philosophy, and what not; to furnish pre
cisely the information wanted on almost
every possible subject; to turn your child
ren’s wide eyed wondering into the best of
schoolmasters; to make of every question
sprung in the family ciiole an Instructive
lesson; to convert your guesses into posi
tive knowledge; to give you in brief para
graphs the result of other men’s years of
toilsome investigation. It is everything in
little, and no skill is necessary to the find
ing of the particular thing its owner may
happen to want. It is far more truly one
of the necessaries of life than are many of
the things which we commonly mean by
that phrase.
The work has been enlirely rewritten by
the ablest writers on every subject, printed
Irom new type, and illustrated with seve
ral thousand engravings and colored lith
graphlc maps. It is issued every two
months, beginning July, 1873, and will be
completed in sixleen volumes -ten volumes
now ready—which are payable only upon
the delivery of each volume, so that the
cost, whicn prevents most people from
buying a Cyclopaedia, is thus divided into
small instalments, which will be scarcely
noticed. It is not obligatory to take all
the volumes now published upon the first
deliverery; a volume may be delivered
once a month, or once in two months, at
the option of the subscriber. The question
is only, how much can be spared each
month ? Three dollars a month, which is
only ten cents a day, the price of a segar,
will pay for a complete set of the Cyclo
paedia by the time of its completion. Then
there will be something substantial saved,
and a storehouse of knowledge, indeed a
Universal Library in itself, secured, with
but little effort or sacrifice.
