ComjMwa, July 24, 187-1. —1 hardly have
patience to etate the tnuumetione of the
block and white ecotiodrels who are rob
biug the oppreDHCd |xi<qil<-of South Caroli
na. The condition of thin State in without
parallel to tho history of America. It is
governed by thieves, pickpockets, and!
penitentiary convicts from top to bottom.
Until some measure of relief is adopted,
the star on our flag representing South
Carolina may as well have a black patch !
■over its face, or else bo entirely punched
out. The problem here cannot be dodged I
forever by the American people. It will
lmvo to be met some time, uud the longer
put off the more difficult of solution it will
become. Either the Government hero—
organized and administered by thieves who
are kept in position by the most densely
ignorant class of men who ever saw a bal
lot—must he disowned and overthrown by
the American people, or supported. The
issue forces itself upon us and cannot be
forever dodged.
Moms lately had occasion to raise $6,000
to help one of his newspaper organs, which
von in financial distress. The .State Treas
ury was empty, ns usual, so Hoses hud to
look to other sources. He hit upon the
plan of Appointing uu ignorant negro Tax
Collector for Orangeburg county. After
this youthful Tax Collector hud gathered ;
up about the requisite urnonnt, Hose# gave j
one Hambright an order for it. The j
young, black, and altogether ignorant Tax;
Collector thought, of course, that an order!
from the Governor was us good us the mon
ey, and so cashed the order, and returned
It to the State Treasurer as a voucher. The
Treasurer would not take it, and the boy
was turned out of office, having accom
plished his mission. His bond, of course,
is worthless, like most of the bonds execu
ted in this Htnte, and
TrtE Taxpayers lost; the money.
This is the transaction for which ths
Governor was indicted in Oruugcbnrg
county, And was the occasion of his calling
out the negro militia to prevent arrest.
He had tho Indictment quashed in dee
time, the Judge holding that the Govern
or could not bo arrested for any crime un
til after he had been impeached by the
Legislature!
In talking with a State official yester
day, connected with tho Exooutivo De
partment, I oxpivtwK'd surprise that a Gov
ernor should deliberately take 86,009 in a
lump of the people's money to support one
of his orgies.
The official was equally Swrprhwd that I
should be surprised. “Why," said he,
•‘we have to support our party papers or
i: boy could not live. That has been the
asti-m since the war. Oue year the pa
pers-got over a quarter of a million of dol
>rs. We aro obliged to do that to sup
port them.”
The coolness of this observation was re
ireahing, but it is iu strict keening with
the policy of She Government. Suppose
Gov. Alien slamld draw upon the tax
collector of Hamilton county for $(1,000 of
State funds, to be paid to "liie editor of a
Democratic “organ" for supporting the
party ? And yet Moses who has done this,
not to speak of a Hundred things that aro
worse, is a candidate for re-clectiou, with
every prospect of endorsement by his party.
AS OtUNOKlllinu OFFICIAL.
At HcocapiUl yesterday I met a Trial
Justice from Orangeburg, an officer who
pe*frms the samojdutios as a Justice of!
the Peace in other States. 110 is ns black as
a tar bin -t, flat nose, thick lips, and with
about as much intelligence in his faco as
one would observe iu a dead mackerel.
This being a specimen of South Carolina!
offieude, a man who daily adjudioub s pro- 1
perty rights among the people, and t trus ;
criminals loose, or sends them to jail, as he!
likes, 5 tried to sound him as to the depth i
of his information. It was a hard task.
“Tell me," I said, “who the eolorod peo
ple, of your section will support for Gov
ernor f”
“Dey is 'bout all for Hoses, sail."
“Why are they for Hoses ?”
“ ’Cause we regard him as a straight-out.
'Publican, au' do friend oi do colored
inau."
“Wasu'Aheiu SOWN trouble in your
cmiuty a short time ago V"
•Yes, salt. Tho Democrats tried to
strio- o. game or* him, but the Judge he
| H/jiuuhtd the paperes again him. 1 tell
l you I I browed up my hat when do Gobbler
! come loss of this here matter, for l kaowed
| 'twaa all did to injure do T’ubhoaUuu
! party. ”
•‘You think the Governor did nothing
wrong TANARUS”
“No, sah; de whole tiling were filed
up to hurt him in de party. Hut, Lor’,
he’s stonger’en ever."
“Where are the sit thousand dollars f”
“I do’uo, sah; Goh’ncr got it, ’1
reckon."
FAITH Or THU (KitEBWOR.
These fellows think that “de Ooli’uer"
has as good a right to draw money from
the treasury and distribute it around as a
private citizen Ims to draw upon his own
bank account. If Moses should draw
from the treasury, for his private uses,
half the money paid in by the taxpayers,
the negroes would Udtik H all right and
support him as usual. 1 said In a previ
ous letter that the negroes of South Caro
lina, as a mass, had no more idea of the
principle* of oflr Government than the
cuttle which fed Upon tho hills of Ohio.
Tho more 1 hark into matters here, tho
more I am convinced of the truth of that
observation although it may look a trifle
wild to aotue.
From this official I tried to get some
information of a llepublicoti meeting to
be held in Louisville to-day. Hut although
he hud just come from there anil was an
interested party, he did not have sense
enough to give even tolerable expression
to his ideas, if lie had any. The most that
I could get out of him was that “do meet
in’ was for de interest of de ’Publican pur
tj.”
“Who will speak 7" I asked.
“Sob’rel geuimen, I s’posc.”
“1 do’ know, sah; I s’pose do 'Publican
party.”
Aud this man, ignorant and stupid al
most beyond tho power of language to fitly
describe, sits in judgment over the rights
of tho white property-holders, hears testi
mony and intricate points of law discussed,
aud gives decisions and pronounces sen
tences upon transgressors.
Tho judiciary here, from top to bottom,
is a shame and a scandal. The Supreme
Court is composed of three “Judges,” one
a stupid negro, one a carpet-bagger from
Maine, and tho other is none other than
Meses, the father of the disgraced Govern
or. When tho South Carolinians compare
their court now with what it used to be
they arc ready to cry aloud with anguish.
HE I*OOK El) GUILTY.
A lawyer from Chester, a heavy negro
county, gives mo many incidents illustrat
ing tho African's judicial capacity. Not
long since a negro offender was brought
before u nogro Trial Justice. The. prison
er’s offence was, iu fact, no offence at all,
uud it was only out of malice that lie was
arrested. A white man—a most respecta
ble farmer -had given him at Rue cotton
seed, and he had taken it without
thought but what tho title was good. Hut
another negro claimed tire cotton seed,
ami had darkey No. I arrested for Stealing.
The Trial Justice heard the testimony and
sentenced tho poor negro to ten days’ im
prisonment and twenty dollars fine, al
though there was not a particle of testimo
ny upon which lie could reasonably base a
conviction. It happened tho Circuit
Court was in session, nud tho Judge was
informed that au innocent man was in jail.
He had tho Justioe before him iu tiiiurt,
and inquired for tho testimony, which tho
law declares shall be reduced to writing.
“I hain’t got any,” said tho blnek Jus
tico. “I don’t do no wrintin’ iu my court.
I keeps it all iu my head.”
"What testimony did you hate against
this man ?” demanded tho Judge.
Ho could not gite any.
“Then Why did ytfu convict him ?” tho
Judge asked.
“ 'Cause, sah, I noticed him close,- and
he looked guilty.”
“Yoti Convicted hfitf, then, off his looks
and not on the evidence ?"
“Yes, sah, he looked guilty and I found
him guilty"
The black judicial officer w-as thereupon
given some advice as to how to conduct
his “court," and departed with a bow and
a “Yes,- sah.'*
nice orffriAi*.
t asked tho lawyer ns to tho other Ches
ter oouuty officials. Iff informed two that
tho comity was represented in the Legis
laturo by three members, all negroes. One
! of them wns a preacher, whose peculiarity
was that, ho would never take more for his
vote than Alt). Ho did not think it was
wrotsjr to sell his vote, provided lie did not.
exact an exorbitant price. Ten dollars lie
conceived to be tho fair f, me. “This
thing of get tin a hundred dollars for a
vote,” ho says, “is all wrong? ten dollars is
as much ius it is wof."
The County Commissioners of Chester,
T was told, where two ignorant negroes
and one dr inketr Wxfumui. Tho juries iu
tho courts aro usually composed of four or
fivo white men and seven or eight negroes.
As jurymen, the negroes all seem desirous
to ilo right, but the trouble is their ignor
ance. In matters of account involving
written doomm nts and figures, how is a
negro 1 to bo of s 'rviee as a juryman when
In* does not know a figm*c from an excla
mation point ? Another difficult* experi
enced with them as jurymen is the constant
effort required to keep them awake. In
hot wi other, under tho southing influences
of testimony and argument, of which they
tinderstau 1 nothing, or at brat but tittle,
the African disposition to relapse into n
doze is almost irresistible. In tho courts
here the testimony and argument are fre
quently interrupted by the Judge piiic.ritig
the Shoiiff to'“vftdco up tliosb jurymen."'
If tho Judgo has not had his dinner, or if,
i having it, it- sits heavily on his stomach
j and he feels generally annoyed, In' some
times breaks out. after a short stock of pa
tience is exhausted: “Mr. Sheriff, wake up
them niggers !■’
To us outsiders nH this may be very
amusing, but to the people if South Caro
lina it is a sad reality, amfthe humor is lost
iu the gravity of tho situation. They look
iat each other blankly, and say: “When
and how is this joint migu of ignonuice

Mr. Ferrier is a member of the legal
fraternity, so to speak. He practices lie
fore the Police Court and at the bur of
the African saloon adjoining the Post
Office. Mr. Ferrier is an Englishman by
birth, an American by adoption, and an
African by a direct line of descent. Mr.
Ferrier is also an orator, as it were. He
blends most beautifully aud harmoniously
in his speech the African accent with the
English pronunciation, aud at the same
time haa the inexpressibly charming and
delightful drawl of the Fifth avenue swell.
We do not know Mr. Ferrier’s front name
but we should take it to be Charles Augus
tas WiUiain Henry. When Mr. Ferrier
concluded to honor the historic city with
his presence and did locate among the
heutkeus, as it wuie, the negro population
congratulated themselves upon the acces
sion to the oity aud to their ranks. Mr.
Ferrier was a great man. Words rolled
from his mouth like hot battercukos from
a griddle. When he opened his lips to
breutho Vicksburg darkies of shallow ac
complishments separated their lips and
permitted their under jaws to drop half
way down to their knees. They attended
tho seances at the Police Court to hear
the gushing eloquence of the Englishman
who could say “good guftcioils,” “caun’t,”
etc., aud while he spoke they listened in
mute admirution but—alas 1
There is not ulwuvs that nnnnimity in
this world that one might desire, and
though one may lie great with the many,
he may yet be small with the few. Human
was a great man. He revealed in great
ness, but ho told a liepubliuan friend of
his one day confidentially that all his
greatness availed him nothing So long as
Mordeeai sat at tho King’s gate. There
lived in Vicksburg a man named Bowman
a colored man, with the prefix of mallory
aud with an oflicial designation of consta
ble. When ho met Mr. Ferrier he did
not bow down and worship him, just as
Tell wouldn't bow down to Gussier’s cap.
Ho merely said to him, “How are you,
Ferrier ?" The English gentleman of
African decent and American adoption
was indignant at being thus addressed by
a common "nigger,” and with lofty toss
of his bead and a contemptuous curl of his
scornful lip lie answered: "Mr. Ferrier,
sir, if you please. ” That settled it. Con
stable Bowman, the common nigger was
red hot. lie wasn't going to call any nig
ger mister unless he wanted to, lie wasn’t.
So he went away and armed himself with
u cow-hide, and w hen he met Ferrier again
he demanded “satisfaction." By way of
emphasis he threw in a few licks on Fer
rier s buck, and kept up tile excitement
until friends interfered and separated
them. Ferrier will probably reappear in
the Police Court this morning in conse
quence. Tills is the first ease of collision
between a nutivc darkey and a carpet-bug
darkey. •

From Our Fir- side Friend.
T like fat folks. There's something !
jolly right in tho fm-t of one’s being a
great big porpoise, and you never saw n
fat man or woman but wlmt wn# good na
tured, unless disappointed in love, lofteu
wislu-d I stood in Baker's shoes. He j
weighs 280, mid when seen coming down
the street resemble a sloop under full sail, j
When he enters a street car everybody
shoves along nt once, and if its crowded
two and three men will get up ut once to
offer him a seat. Ho is of importance
wherever he goes. Jf he sits OB au in
quest he influences the jury, and if ho >
predicts this weather, people put faith in i
aim. If there’s crowd around a sick
horse, Baker elbows liis way right in where j
I couldn’t got, and they are always sure to 1
make him cashier at Sunday school ex- j
(minions, Metal him invitations to deliver
Fourth of July orations, ami ho is tho man J
always selected to present tho firo com
pany with new hats and a speech.
Anil there’s Mrs. Scott, who weighs
nearly as much as Baker. When it's a
ljot dnv everybody asks after her comfort,
and when it's a cold day everybody con
gratulates heron being fat. She was made
the prosideut of a benevolent society, the
treasurer of au art association, and tho
“head-man” in a monuments! enterprise,
just because she was fat Mid could “fill the
Chair” better than any loan woman. If
site Went aboard tho ferry boat they al
ways placed her iu the centre of the cabin
iff the best arm chair aboard, so that she
would not careen the craft over, and if
forty lean women hung over the railing to

about it. Shu liad the biggest tent at
camp-meeting, the best place to see the
Fourth of July fireworks, and grocers were
always Mending her early strawberries and
first vegetables.
I fell in love with a fat girl oaeo. 1
loved madly, because I was loving 207
pounds of girl. She was amiable, tender
hearted, good natured and true, and I
think she loved me. We wore to be mar
ried in the fall, and should probably have
been one of the happiest of husbands,
when au accident dashed my prospects.
She fell overboard just as we were leaving
tile wharf cm a steamboat excursion. !
Three or four sailors plunged after, and]
they got a gang plank under her, a cable
round her waist and towed her to the!
wharf. Thou they rigged a derrick and i
lifted her out by sections, but they were
so long about it that sho took a severe
cold, and the result was death. Then- j
were months and months after that that 1 i
h'eVcr Could pass a lend of hay without
thinking of my lost Amanda and shedding
tears, even to this day, I never see au
elephant or rhinoceros without her dear
visaage rising up lefore mo.
Tattle Johnny !>., of 14th St., wanted to
go to Dr. Butler’s church yesterday. His
mother was afraid he would make a noise;
but liis father said “Johnny knows better
than to make a noise in church.” So lie
went. He kept very still till the last prayer.
By that time he had grown tired sitting
still, and was standing on the pew cushion
with his back to the pulpit. When the
lady in the next sent bowed her head for

THE INDIANS.
Vi akhinutun, August 1, 1874.—The
Wur department has received a report of
the expedition, under the command of
Captain A. E. Bates, which left Camp
Bruwu, Wyoming Territory, July 1, for
the purpose of punishing the Indians who
had been committing depredations in that
and the neighboring valley. After several
days’ marching he reached the Indian vil
lage at Owl Creek Mountains, which con
sisted of 112 lodges, placed in a deep ra
vine. The Indians opened a sharp Are
on the troops as they approached, but
without damage, and the troops quickly
drove them down through a gulley, where
they were crowded to closely together near
the lower end that the troops had a splen
did chuncu at them, and counted, after
the fight seventeen dead bodies almost iu
one heap. In about twenty minutes or
half an honr at farthest, there was not
an Indian in the excepting the
dead and numbers of.eliilaren, who were
left iu tho lodges. The Indians who
escaped had reached the rocks above,
where they ojiened a very telling fire ou
the troops, killing two men uud wounding
three in a very few minutes.
THK KKHtTOT OF THE FIGHT
was twenty-five Indians known to be killed
aud with the usual proportion of four
wounded to oneikillod, 100 wouDded. Of i
the killed, seventeen were counted in part!
of tho village. The othem were left, part j
in the village and part on the side of the
bluff. Had the Shoshones, who accompa
nied the expedition, kept quiet in the
first instance and given the commander an
opportunity to reconnoitre the ground
thoroughly so os to take possession of the
commanding points, or had they follow
ed Lientcnant Yonug, who received the
orders correctly uud attempted to lead
them to the attack Captain Bates would
have been able to report the most com
plete victory one company—lt, Second
cavalry—ever achieved, for the ’Captain
thinks not half it dozen would have es
caped. But owing to the bad conduct of
his Indian allies first, and cowardice after
wards, lie thinks the troops achieved only
about half as much us was intended. To
sum up the actions of these Shoshone
Indians they betrayed the troops first and
deserted them in the fight. Somo of them
however, behaved wclL
