Rome Courier : We regret to learn
that there has been more serious
trouble in Chattooga county. We have
to rely upon conflicting reports for the
facts, but the following seems to be
tolerably well autheutieoted: Last
Sunday after church at Walnut Grove,
while John Millican and Frank Weaver
were going homo, iu company with
others, they saw ahead of them the
three Johnson brothers armed. They
avoided them by leaving the road, but
after getting arms returned and found
the Johnsons where they first saw them.
A quarrel ensued,and finally Abda John
son was shot, inflicting a slight wound.
Afterwards all parties threw down
their arms and they had a friendly
conference. It was agreed that the
Johnson boys should all submit to an
arrest the next day and give bonds to
keep the peace. The next day a bailiff,
with some assistance, went to arrest
them and they fled, but Gus Johnson
was overtaken and arrested. The other
two brothers escaped to the woods, and
these were shot by some parties, un
known to our informant, Abda in the
head and thigh, and Jeff in the arm—
ail slight wounds. After Gus Johnson
was arrested the mother gave a satis
factory bond. The other two brothers
passed through Rome Tuesday morn
ing.
Gainesville Southron : On Thursday
afternoon, about sunset, while Deputy
United States Marshal J. A. Findley
was returning to this place, on the
Cooper's Gap Road, about nine miles
above Dahlonega, with a prisoner whom
he had caught in the act of making
whiskey, he was fired upon by some
part ies secreted in the bushes by the
roadside. Several shots were flred at
Findley, two of which took effect, one
bail passing through the leg just above
the knee, and the other entering the
leg below the knee and lodging in the
muscles of the leg, and still remains,
the physicians being unable to find it.
Mr. Findley was taken out of the cart
which he was driving, and in which
he had a sack of meal, a barrel of
whiskey, and the still which he had
captured, and was put on Joseph Pra
ter’s horse, and the party moved on in
the direction of home. A halt was
made by the party for some purpose,
when Findley was again flred upon,
and the horse upon which he was sit
ting was killed. The prisoners name
is Sein, and it is supposed that his sons
did tbe shooting. They are desperate
characters, and have frequently threat
ened the lives of United States officers.
Notwithstanding the terrible fire to
which Findley and his comrades—Joe
Prater and Ike V. Clements—were sub
jected, they brought out their prisoner,
though they had to abandon the cart
and oxen. Mr. F. came to his home
Friday night, and is getting along quite
comfortably.
SOUTH CAROLINA.
LETTER FROM CHARLESTON.
Topics of Discussion—The Bank Fail
ure a Mystery—Republican Rations
Cut Off and a New Steal Probable—
The Carolina Centennial —The Par
ker Trial—Chamberlain not Guilty.
[From our Regular Correspondent.]
Charleston, July 10, 1875.
What with the Parker trial, the fail
ure of Hardy Solomon’s Bank, the Au
gusta excursion and the advent of the
dies caniculorum, the Charleston folk
have very little breathing time. All of
these great events coming together
have engrossed their attention, and
even the bulls and bears in the Cotton
Exchange have for a moment lost sight
of the terrible decline in cotton, and
are caucusing these topics.
The Bank Failure
is a much more serious matter than
those outside the State can realize.
Two hundred thousand dollars of the
money wrung from the tax payers have
“gone where the woodbine twineth,”
that being the amount of State funds
on deposit iu the broken bank. The
institution was known as the Republi
can Bank of South Carolina, from the
fact that its President and principal
stockholder, Hardy Solomon, always
advanced the needful to run the State
campaigns, in return for which he has
always been entrusted with the custody
of the State funds. The immediate
cause of the suspension is shrouded in
mystery. It is only known that the
State loses $200,000, which will inter
fere very seriously with the process of
the funding scheme, as that money was
set apart to pay the interest on the
consolidated bonds of the State. So
that muchly swindled class of State
creditors will be compelled once more
to whistle for the interest on their in
vestments.
The Carolina Centennial.
The military clubs of Charleston have
already commenced preparations for
an elaborate celebration of the one
hundreth anniversary of the battle of
Fort Moultrie which occurs on the 28th
of June, 1875. The celebration will oc
cur under the immediate auspices of
the Palmetto Guard, one of the veteran
organizations of this city, and it is
hoped by that time that we will be in
a condition to give a cordial reception
to tbe Augusta Volunteers and to com
pete with them in drill and dress. The
centennial oration will be delivered by
that distinguished soldier and states
man, Gen. J. B. Kershaw, of South
Carolina. If we can persuade our
Northern brethren to come down and
join Georgia and Carolina on that oc
casion, we will undertake to perform
some additional funeral ceremonies
over the grave of the traditional
hatchet.
The Parker Trial
To-day assumed anew phase, and pro
mises to result in exceedingly interest
ing developments. One Captain Ladd,
who was a clerk in' the Treasury De
partmeut during Parker’s administra*
tion, had beeu summoned as a witness
for the State, but when called yester
day was not to be found. Steps were
taken to find the gentlemen, and he
was accordingly captured by a tipstaff
just as he was about to leave the city
for parts unknown. The importance of
his testimony may be judged of by the
following summary;
The important poiuts, as sworn to,
are that, during a conversation with
Treasurer Parker, Parker had shown
him one hundred and fifty thousand
dollars of coupons; which he had in his
safe, and told him that he had original
ly had four hundred and fifty thousand
dollars, which had been given him by
the final settlement by the State with
Financial Agent Kimpton. One hun
dred and titty thousand dollars had
been given to Governor Scott, fifty
thousand to Comptroller-General Na
gle, one hundred and fifty thousaud to
Kimpton, and fifty thousand had been
set aside for Attorney-General Cham
berlain. Didn’t know whether Cham
berlain ever got his share. Parker
asked Ladd to try and fund some of
those hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars of coupons for him. Witness af
terwards learned that State Senator
Owens had funded the coupons for
Parker last winter. Ladd exhibited a
memorandum given him by Parker
designating the classes of coupons he
wanted funded, which memorandum
corresponds with the coupons fuiided
by Owens.”
It will be remembered that Owens,
who is a Senator from Laurens county,
is the patriot who funded so many de
tached coupons under the consolida
tion act, and that it was the funding of
these coupons which led to the attempt
to impeach Cardozo, the pie crust
colored Treasurer of the State. Two
other witnesses were examined and
much additional light thrown upon
this dark subject.
Your correspondent deems it due to
Governor Chamberlain to state that
Parker’s statement, as detailed to the
witness Ladd in the testimony above,
is evidently untrue. The Governor
emphatically denies that he ever re
ceived one dollar of the coupons and
asserts his ability to prove the fact. It
was apparently a game of addition,
division and silence, and an attempt on
Parker’s part to ring in the other
officials with him. At all events the
trial promises to bring out the whole
truth of the stealing, and there is a re
mote possibility that the real culprits
will get their deserts. Qui Vive.
THE PARKER TRIAL.
Ladd's Testimony a Bomb-Shell —It
Demolishes the Columbia Tweed
and Implicates High Officials—Sop
for the Washington Chronicle— How
Radical Journals are Conducted—
The Curse of Reconstruction.
[Reported for the Constitutionalist. 1
Columbia, S. C., July 10, 1875.
The testimony of Ladd sent you in
part by mail and telegraph yesterday
produced an immense sensation in
court. It was given frankly it seemed,
but with evident reluctance. It almost
settled the question of Parker’s guilt,
and implicated several high State offi
cials and ex-officials as his accompli
ces in the fraud. Ladd had been on
the most intimate and confidential
terms with Parker, having beeu a long
time a clerk in his office, and subse
quently his manager iu the conduct
and control of the Washington Chroni
cle, a great part of which Parker
owned at that time. He remained
through Parker’s interest sometime on
the Chronicle after Harlan, ex-Secre
tary of the Interior, succeeded him injits
ownership. They had schemes of pursu
ing business together iu Chicago, Parker
to furnish $20,000. He has a letter from
Parker offering $50,000 to be used iu a
joint patent business. Ladd came on
to Columbia and was for a timo the
guest of Parker. Re set him up in the
grocery business in 1873, but it failed
with some loss to the creditors through
want of the capital to conduct it, prom
ised by Parker. Ladd next went to
Charleston as clerk to Puffer, the third
or fourth appointed receiver of the
Bank of the State. This place he left
a year ago to take part in the political
campaign in tbe interests of D. H.
Chamberlain, and as manager of this
re-re-constructed daily Union-Herald,
which then became the property of
D. H. Chamberlain, candidate for
Governor, Treasurer Cardozo and At
torney General Melton, and so con
tinues as to the two former till this
day. I do not know certainly about
the interest of Melton. Ladd is on the
Unwn-llerald now as book-keeper and
paymaster. His reluctance to testify
was shown in his absenting himself
from Court on Thursday, which caused
it to adjourn. The Judge sent an at
tachment for him, and had him taken
into custody. The sheriff was almost
too late. Puffer had sent for him to
come out. They took a drink together
and adjourned to Parker’s Hall, where
Ladd has rooms, to talk the matter
over. Puffer made an earnest appeal
to him not to testify, and he was willing
and desirous not to do it, and, as said,
was about to get away. He had inter
views the same day, and took drinks
with Maurice Parker, son of N. G. P., and
Puffer. The situation was such as to
require frequent wetting of his whistle.
Considering his relations to Parker
and the other parties referred to in his
testimony, his opportunities of know
ing things behind the scenes, and the
circumstances under which he at last
gave his testimony, it may be regarded
as highly important, if not wholly con
clusive. Amongst other things he pro
duced a letter from Parker, bearing
date July 2d, 1874, full of earnestness
and anxiousness about the funding of
his coupons, which read as follows:
Dear Captain —Gulick will advertise
in New York at once. I have seen a copy
of the advertisement. It will go on im
mediately, and I think he will advertise
here, but he has not done so. You will
please write him and ask him if he is
prepared to attend to such business,
saying that you have heard so, and
that you have some to fund, or that
you have had some correspondence
with parties who have. You must not
say who for, under any circumstances,
becauso I have fought the whole
scheme from beginning to end. It is an
outrage, but I am forced to take ad
vantage of it, or I would not. Of course
you understand me. You need not keep
this letter, but destroy it.
I Signed] N. G. Parker.
To Capt. J. O. Ladd.
To-day Comptroller-General Dunn’s
examination was completed. It was
mostly in reference to his search into
the condition of the bonded debt, the
number of bonds hypothecated by him
in the summer of 1874 in New York
city, as chaiiman of a joint Legislative
committee. Amongst other things he
stated that the process of conversion
commenced June 39, 1869. The first
bonds returned for conversion were of
the class known as State capital and
the amount SIO,OOO. He knew of an
unfortunate person who bought conver
sion bonds at 72. Three million bonds
are held in New York as collateral.
Walter R. Jones, now private secre
tary of Governor Chamberlain, and
who was employed in the Secretary of
State’s office during Parker’s term as
Treasurer, and who made special ex
amination of the Treasurer’s books in
aid of the committee appointed to as
certain the amount of the public debt,
was next examined. •
When he returned he said, in answer
to a question, that the coupons which
he saw, and one or some of which he
took in his hands iu Parker’s house,
amounted to $150,000. It was part of a
fund of $450,000 which had been divid
ed out at the final settlement with
Kimpton, the Financial Agent, between
himself and others. He and Kimpton
were to receive each $150,000, ex-Gov.
Scott, ex-Comptroller Nagle each $50,-
000, and $50,000 was set aside for the
then Attorney-General, D. H. Chamber
lain, now Governor. In reference to
him the witness explained that Parker
said he did not know whether Chambei -
: ain had ever got a dollar of it or not,
and in answer to the Judge’s pointed
question said that the parties who di
vided out this fund made arrange
ments for $50,000 for D. H. Chamber
lain, but he (Parker) did not say that
Chamberlain knew anything of it.
Home.
General Sherman and Geueial Lee.
[Char eston News and Courier.]
What Sherman practiced in his
march through Georgia and South
Carolina in 1864-’65 he preached as
early as 1863. Iu a letter to General
Halleck, dated September 17, 1863, he
says that “we (the army) will, it need
be, take every life, every acre of land,
every particle of property, everything
that to us seems proper,” and that he
would keep up war, pure and
simple, and make the Southern
people “so sick of war that gen
erations would pass away before
they would again appeal to it.” This
is iu the same vein as the declaration, a
year later, that he would “make Geor
gia howl,” and that tbe Fifteenth
Corps does its work well. A simple pe
rusal of the letters of Sherman, pub
lished by himself, will show that such
crimes as the burning of Columbia
were, in his view, legitimate and proper
acts of war. But against this we can
set the opinion of a better soldier and
a better man than Sherman, whose
judgment was as cool and dispassion
ate in things which came home to him
and his people as in things with which
he and his had no personal concern.
When Gen. Lee visited this State, not
long before his death, a geutlemau who
knew him well asked his opinion of
Sherman’s conduct. This, it must be
remembered, was several years after
the war, when there were the same
means that there are now of forming a
true judgment. What passed is given
as follows:
D. H.—“ Gen. Lee, I desire to ask a
question, which you will please not re
ply to if there is any impropriety in it.”
Gen Lee—“ Ask it sir.”
D. H. —“Was Gen. Sherman, in his
inarch through the country, justified,
under the usages of war, in burning our
homes over the heads of our women
and children while we were in the
field?”
Gen. Lee arose from his chair with
his eyes brightened, and said: “JVo,
sir! no, sir! it was the act of a savage.
He was not justified under the usages
of war.”
This we have from the lips of the
gentleman to whom Gen. Lee said
these words. They are worthy of note,
and the phrase that Gen. Lee used in
speaking of Sherman will be remem
bered to Sherman’s shame when every
other bitterness of the war is forgot
ten: “It was the act of a savage!”
Cabolina Ladies in New York.—By
a recent New York steamship a large
crockery crate went forward, packed
full of palmettoes, maguolia and oak
leaves, moss, etc. Ils consignees were
ladies, and no freight was fixed on
this unusual shipment, for it was evi
dently for some public and worthy pur
pose. On Saturday afternoon, the 3d
of July, the contents had been trans
ferred to the armory qf the Old Guard,
(Maj. McLean,) Fourth avenue and
nimble fingers were at work decorating
with these emblems of South Caroliua
the quarters of the corps for the Fourth
of July—a delicate compliment from
some Carolina ladies to tfie distin
guished command who captured the
W. R. 1., on their arrival in New York
and escorted them to Boston and back.
“Old Charleston’s loyal sons” will be
touched at this thoughtful attention,
which is characteristic of the public
spirited ladies, who have often before
this volunteered in their behalf.—

Dr, Lyte’s Hymn.
A few years ago, on a Sunday afternoon,
at the close of Autumn, Rev. Dr. Lyte, an
English clergyman, preached his farewell
sermon to his flock, whom declining health
compelled him to leave. He was a victim
of consumption, and was about to pass the
Winter in Italy, with the faint hope of some
relief from his sufferings. The last farewell
was uttered to his beloved people, and taint
and weary he went back to his quiet, rural
parsonage. In the evening, surrounded by
his family, he sat down and composed the
following touching and precious hymn:
Abide with me! Fast falls the eventide;
The darkness deepens; Lord with me abide!
When other helpers fail, and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, Oh, abide with me!
Swift to its clo c e ebbs out life’s little day;
Earth’s joys grow dim—its glories pass
away;
Change and decay in all around I see;
Oh, Thou who chaugest not, abide with me!
Not a brief glance I beg, a passing word;
But as Thou dweli’st with Thy disciples,
Lord-
Familiar. condescending, patient, free—
Come, not to sojourn, but abide with me!
Come not in terrors, as the King of Kings,
But kind and good, with healing in thy
wings;
Tears for all woes, a heart for every plea:
Come, Friend of Sinners, thus abide with
me!
Thou on my head in early youth didst
smile.
And, though rebellious and perverse mean
while,
Thou hast not left me oft as I left Thee;
On to the close, O Lord, abide with me!
I need Thy presence every passing hour;
What but I'hy grace can stay the tempter’s
power?
Who like Thyself my guard and stay can
be?
Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with
me!
I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless;
Ills have no weight, and tears no bitter
ness ;
Where is death’s sting? where, grave, thy
victory?
I triumph still, if Thou abide with me!
Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing
eyes!
Shine through the gloom, and point me to
the skies;
Heaven’s morning breaks, and earth’s vain
shadows flee;
In life and death. O Lord, abide with me!
