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.” [Signed] W. L. Tillman, Foreman. J. MV Barbee, It. R. Hines, John Brady, J. W. Patrick, A. M. Patrick, J. M. N. Rees, J. A. Calhoun, R. W. Milford, 8. H.-Brooks, P. 11. Madden, J. A. Minor. 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.

Yesterday about 1 o’clock f. m., a lire oc curred on the Western Railroad of Ala., at Cowlo's Station, some 80 miles east of Montgomery. It broke out in an old sedge field, and communicated to the cord wood bclongingto the road and piled up along the track; and burnt a large quantity of that, and some 300 feet or road track. This will cause delay of several hours In the move ments of four or llvo trains that would arrive at that point before tho damage couuld be repaired. Maj.

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.” If you want good Blankets for little money, call on , J.

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. lave ,V Wilson m celebrated Beuts will cure chills, correct deranged nervous systems, strengthen the appetite, and actively aid in restoring mpaired health.
