A FOUL MURDER!
Mick Ltvis, a Colored Hacknm, Brutally
Murdered.
| LEFT OKAH 131 THE PTHUI MOAU.
kiu.su nv usk notes paktiks.
Wo have never been called on to chron
icle a inure shocking aDd cold-blooded
murder than that committed on Mack
Lewis, a colored hackman, by some un
known parties, on Saturday nlglit last.
His body was found In the road, near Coo
leyvllle, some mile and a half below the
city, on the Jamestown road—cold and
stiff in death, with a pistol shot In his
head, entering behind his right ear, and
with his
THBOAT OCT FROM UAH TO UAH.
The horrible deed was done betwoon
dark and ten o’clock on Saturday night
as ho. was seen driving across the east
commons about dark, and was found dead
as slated about ten o'clock.
Coroner Lloyd hold an Inquest on Sun
da)’, and from evidence given there wo
collect the following facts:
Messrs. John McLeod, J. J. Whittle
and W. A. Redd wero returning from a
hunt, and when near Cooleyvillo met a
negro who Informed them that a man
either drunk unload was lying In the
road; they wont to tho spot and found a
body, which proved to bo that of Muck
Lewis. Blood was on the ground, In
streams, and wounds on body indicated
that death must (havo been Instantane
ous.
W ash Whittle, the employee of the de
ceased, said that about four or llvo
o’clock on Saturday afternoon, a young
man, a stranger, called at Ills house for
Mack—did not say what he wanted with
him, had not known of Mack’s having a
difficulty with any one. Deceased never
drank, and had boon several years in his
employ.
Mr. Joel Bush saw a man talking to
Mock In tho afternoon of Saturday, hut
did not notice whether ho got into the
hack. He had never known deceased to
be In any difficulty. Later in the after
noon Jim Saunders saw Mack driving by
the printing office, but did not see any
one In his hack.
Mary Cooper saw deceased after sunset,
driving across the commons; was some
hundred yards distant; saw someone was
In the rockaway, hut could not tell
whether It was a black or white person or
persons.
Tho above meagre facts are all the
i Coronor could glean, and they throw no
light on the probable perpetrntton of the
black deed.
The hack and horse wero found on Kun
du4 morning on the common near what
Is knowa as Burton’s corner. Tho horse
was taken out of the shafts and tied to
the hack. On the hack was found blood
but no sign of violence beyond the break
ing of one of the doors.
The verdict of the Jury is, that they
“find his throat was cut from right to left
with a sharp-edgo Instrument, In the hand
of some unknown person or persons; also
a gun-shot wound, two and a half Inches
behind right ear, and running diagonally
across the brain.”

Altogether this strike* us ns being one
of the most brutal murdorg that lias oc
curred in this county for years. Money
was not tho object of the deed, ns the de
ceased la said to have had four dollars on
his person when found; ‘and lie hnd the
reputation of being a peaceable man—
never drinking, or having difficulties with
any one.
We trust the peplo of tho county will
see that such crimes cannot be committed
within our borders and go unpunished.
Let a reward largo enough to engage the
talent of shrewd detectives, be offered
by our County Commissioners, or Ordi
nary, and it will not be long before we
shall know something of tho guilty
party.

A "REALLY ALARHINU" MITLATION.
An Interview with the Fre.ldent *,f the
Union Lpitguc Club.
Mr. Wui. M. F.varta was In Waelj
iiiutu yesterday. A reporter!)! tf>e
IVtrrld called on his partner, Mr. Jos.
H. Choate, tho President of the
Union League Club, and submitted
tho news or the afternoon, with the
following question:
‘‘ls there any authority in law for
the interfereneo of the troops in the
organization of tho South Oatotiua
Legislature ?” asked tho reporter.
"I do not know,” was the reply,
where the troops get their authority,
and I do not see how we can have
much State legislation if the army of
the United States is to be In charge
of the Legislatures.”
‘‘The army of the United States
being in fact in charge of the,South
Carolina'Legislature, were they justi
fied In law in excluding the members
elect holding certificates of the Su
preme Court?” asked the reporter.
“As to that,"answered Mr. Choate,
“I do not know what tho laws of the
State recognize us legal certificates
of election; tho point, is that the
United States army is in possession
of tho hulls of tho Legislature. We
certainly cannot go ou very long on
that system.”
As to the presence of troops in
Columbia, Mr. Choate said; ‘‘Before
the election they certainly made out
u pretty good case to show the neces
sity for tho presence of t.roop3, but
this state of affairs is something cer
tainly not contemplated by the Con
stitution. The Returning Board hus
given tho electors their cer
tificates, and the present contest is
about the Htato officers and does not
affect the electors. There is, there
fore, none of the justification which
might be claimed if the election of
United States officers was involved.
I wonld like to knew what business
it is of the United Suites Army who
is Governor of South Carolina, or
who constitute its Legialature.”
“Had Judge Bond any authority to
review the action of tho Supreme
Court of the State in the first place?”
was the next inquiry.
‘‘l do not know that he had.” Mr.
Choate replied; "he piobably acted
on the supposition that the electors
were United States officers, and that
the States hnd nothing to do with
them."
Mr. Choate then spoke of the sirni-,
larity of the South Carolina business
to the Louisiana outrage, when Gen.
DeTrobrlawl broke up the Legisla
ture, and said : “In Louisiana they
turned the members out of t he House,
and herethoy prevent them from go
iug in. It,is, no doubt, wise to concen
trate troops where there is (lunger of
trouble; but to put them in posses
sion of u State House! I really don’t
know how a Government is going to
be run on that principle. It is a mel
ancholy state of affairs.”
“Js it. not melancholy enough to
justify the House of Representatives
in impeaching Mr. Grant?” asked
the reporter.
“It would be useless,” said Mr.
Choate; “the Senate would support
him.”
“But the House could at least rec
ord its sentiments on the subject.”
Said Mr. Choate, afterapause, “It
really does not seem possible that
Grant Ims ordered this. I do not
think lie has. There is not the
slightest warrantor authority for it.”
Ho then inquired if it is likely that
(here is any truth in the report that
thq riile clubs have attacked the
United States troops, and, being an
swered ill tho negative, added bitter
ly enough: “I suppose our New' York
Legislature will be allowed to assem
ble without tho interference of the
Un i ted States troops,-; ’ ’
“I do not know; it is difficult to
say,” said the iVurld reporter.
“Yes, indeed,” responded Mr.
Choate, ‘‘it is getting to boa close
thing now; it is really alarming.”

The Health nf the Pope.
New York Tribune Correspondent from Rome.]
At the reception of the Spaniards to
day, it was remarked that the Pope looked
wondeii'ully well and strong. Hia gener
al health is beyond doubt good, al
though, as he recently said of himself,
“One can not be an octogenarian with
impunity.” When I first saw him, at the
audience I have described above, I found
in his face and figure as lie entered the
room marks of infirmity for which I was
not prepared. He looks much older than
any of his pictures, if I except a single
recent photograph, which I believe is
not known in America. Ilis lower lip
droops a little, his eye has lost much of
its luster, liis head hangs over and his
step is uncertain. His voice too, at first
; was tremulous and broken. But in a few
minutes my impressions of his condition
were greatly changed. jn conversation
iiis whole face lighted tip, his speech was
firm, his manner was vivacious, he looked
no longer a feeble old mail of 84, but a
hale and well-preserved gentleman of 70.
When he raised his voice to address the
whole assemblage the tones were strong
and musical, the articulation beautifully
clear. He made gestures freely with hot h
arms, and I noticed that his hand was as
steady as if he had nerves of iron.
Alarming reports of his impending dis
solution often reach the papal court —
from America and elsewhere- but the
Pope’s friends laugh at them. "When I
look over certain of tlio Italian journals
without finding the news of my last ill
ness and death,” said Pious IX lately, “it
always seems to me as if they had forgot
ten something.” So far as anybody can
sec, his chances of living several years
longer are very fair, lie has a sturdy
constitution and a serene temper, and he
has always led a regular and simple life.
