Arrest and Conviction of Female
Vagrants. —For months past, on Bridge
Row. between Broad and Reynolds streets,
there lias been kept in full blast a den of
the most vicious character which depraved
and bestial negro men and women could
originate in their disgusting and abandoned
inodes of life. It has been the centre of
vice around which revolved all the ele
ments of moral depraivty contingent upon
the abandoned life of the negro women who
have given it attraction for the sensual and
libidinous purposes of a gang of negro men
wlio rioted in the perpetration of every
conceivable wickedness. • This establish
ment Jiad spread its cancerous blight
throughout the community, and was exer
cising"a most debasing influence in prmnot
i„g every grade of theft among the negro
men who were induced to visit the infa
inous house. Not unfre.'juently have sim
ple and unsuspecting country negroes been
duped into visiting this den, but to dis
cover themselves turned loose without a
cent in pocket, and no means at their com
mand to trace the crime of the robbery to
the guilty party, so thoroughly practiced
lit Ihe art were those who maintained the
■establishment. In tills den the negroes
were thrown together as so many cattle,
and with more regard to public
decency than hi observed by wild beasts in
the jungles of the forest, and that, too, on a
public thoroughfare, within a stone’s throw
of Broad street. Night after night they h ave
sought to partially cover the iniquity of their
den by giving public balls, at which under
city regulations, policemen were required
to attend. But the evil influences growing
out of these comminglings were fast crop
ping out in I lie still more abandoned be
havior of the wretched females who made
it their rendezvous and who were periodi
cally coursing the streets in the defiant
prosecution of their infamous purposes,
offending the ears of citizens with their
coarse, rude and vulgar language. .So
glaring and apparent, became this evil, that,
yesterday morning, Lieutenant Walsh, of
the police force, made a descent upon the
house alluded to and arrested three of the
dusky denizens, Dicey Jefferson, Flora
Adams and Alice Scott. They were carried
before Justice Ells and arraigned for trial
on a charge of vagrancy and profligate
conduct. After a full examination, each of
the colored damsels was found guilty of
the charge, and fined S3O each, or four
months’ imprisonment of the two first
named and six months of the latter.
Now that the police.have moved in this
matter and succeeded in overhauling a few
of the profligate and abandoned negro
women who have heretofore made night
hideous with their unblushing vice, we
trust that others who are iu the same lewd
practices, both on Bridge Row and in
other public quarters of the city, will be
ferret ted out and held to the punishment
they likewise deserve. The evil has be
come too palpable and offensive to the pub
lic eye aud ear to be longer tolerated, and
its abatement can in no way be so certainly
and easily effected as through the efforts oi
our police force. Let these custodians of
the good order of the city, then, continue
in the good work which they have com
menced, assured that in its prosecution
they are sustained by the hearty approval
of all good citizens.
Severely Kicked by a Mule.—Yes
terday morning, at the hill at Butler’s
creek, a negro man, in the employ of Mr.
John Keener, who was ou his way to the
city with a wagon, in which was seated
the wife And child of Mr. Keener, received
a severe kicking from the mule which he
was driving. In coming down the hill, a
portion of the harness became disarranged,
which excited the mule, ftiid caused its
heels to come iu repeated contact with the
sliius of the driver, from which the flesh
was badly torn. On his right leg a place
as large as a man’s hand was exposed to
the bone. After reaching the city, his
wounds were dressed by a physician, and

ner and her child received no injury.

vannah river bridge is already building,
and that ere long the hands will be work

A WRONG IMPRESSION CORRECTED.
Many persons believe that- there is no
value in anything that does not from “the
North.” How humiliating I However, this
impression is being gradually corrected—
It. is now admitted that no remedial agent
has ever been discovered, North or South,
that posesses, in so eminent a degree, the
power of eradicating from the system all
foul distem tier, as DR. TUTT’S SARSA
PARILLA AND QUEEN’S DELIGHT—
The secret is,' it assists nature to do this
through its own channels. It is composed of
vegetable substances alone, every one of
which grows on Southern soil. It is the
BLOOD PURIFIER OF THE AGE.

Ex-Chief Detective Wood on the Tur
ner Case. —Colonel W. P. Wood, who was
recently dismissed from his position as
Chief of the Secret Service Division of the
Treasury Department, has published in
pamphlet form several letters addressed to
Secretary Boutwell and Solicitor Bantield.
From these we make the following extract:
THE CASE OF TURNER, THE NEGRO POST-
„ • . MASTER.
“ I believe you are aware that I have
written a communication (.July i28,1869) to
Mr. Boutwell, which has lieen published in
pamphlet form, in which allusion is made
to the case of Turner, the Georgia Post
master. It might, be inferred from said
communication that I desired to convey
*tlie idea that Turner is innocent in con
nection with said notes. Such is not the
fact, as Turner was a resident of Washing
on, and for some time previous to liis ap
pointment was a coustant visitor at the
house of Schureman, and in my opinion
Turner obtained from Schureman, the
stolen money alluded to, whjch bore the
signatures forged by the messenger Schure
man, and Turner received the money,
knowing the character thereof, with the
intention to put it upon the public.
“ The tenor of Turner’s correspondence
with Rev. S. B. Jones (another American
preacher of African descent), a copy of
which I send you (w’hich is unfit for publi
cation), in connection with the other sur
roundings of .the man Turner, warrants
me in asserting that a more unfit, person
for the appointment of postmaster at Ma
con, Ga., could not have been selected. I
believe the operative of the Division who
made the arrest did not proceed in the case
as he would have done had he possessed
the information that was on file in the Di
vision. This should have been promptly
furnished him by your Chief of Division,
instead of permitting Mr. Neil to blunder
in supposing that the money was either
counterfeit or that it had been forged by
this man Turner, the American preacher
postmaster of African descent. By these
remarks I am not to be understood as one
who believes there are no honest, faithful
and reliable Americans of African descent;
but I allude to this specific case to show
the political mismanagement of the powers
that be in the appointment of Turner as
postmaster at Macon, Ga.—an outrage to
an intelligent people who, misguided by
politicians and accursed with the pollution
of slavery, were led into the horrors and
devastations of a civil war. To these—
our people, our brethren—we should of
fer, on the altar of conciliation, every
fair and honorable concession calcu
lated to draw them to us, with a
guarantee that their reasonable require
‘ments for self-government, in conformity
with the Constitution of our country, shall
be fully awarded to them, instead of put
ting such unworthy and objectionable char
acters as Turner in responsible positions in
their commumiy, thus outrageously insult
ing a people by forcing upon them the
theoretical teachings of Massachusetts
politicians, when the masses of the citizens
of Massachusetts take especial good care
that Boutwell and others of his kind are
not allowed to place the negro in office in
Massachusetts. But to return to my sub
ject. As I before stated, the money was
stolen from the Treasury Department by
Schureman, and the signatures of the bank
officers forged thereto by hiiq ; and I arn
satisfied from Turner’s Surroundings in
Washington that the money was obtained
by him with criminal intent, lie knowing
the same to have been stolen and the sig
natures to have been forged by his friend
Schureman. 1 cut from a Republican pa
per published at Macon, Ga., the following
paragraph:
“ ‘Captain C. C. Niel, the wide awake
Treasury Agent, who has done more ser
vice for the Government than any officer
that ever came to Macon, has been relieved
from duty because he tried to bring Turner
to justice. Tip) powers that be, it seems,
wish to shield eriipe, aqd therefore have no
use for an honest and actiye officer.’
“ Thus it appears that Ml’. Neil was dis
missed. The arrest was an important one,
and hail your subordinates or yourself pos
sessed sufficient intelligence to comprehend
the subject, and have given Mr. Neil the
support necessary to enable a successful
and proper prosecution of the ease, the re
sult would have been beneficial to the Gov
ernment. This you failed to do, and Mr.
Neil is dismissed tor daring to institute
proceedings against the negro postmaster.’’
[ From the-Mae >n Journal an l Measenger.
Horrible Outrage by Negroes.
We learq from a gentleman who is en
gaged it) laying oijt the railroad track on
the new Brunswick Road, that on Thursday
last two respectable young girls residing
near Station 14, upon the Central Road, were
ou thalr way home from school, when they
were overtaken by two stout negroes, who
immediately seized them, and despite tlieir
screams for aid, committed a diabolical
outrage. Having effected this brutal deed
of violence, ppe of the negroes, who had
but one arm, shook the mutilated stump
of the other in the face of the oldest of the
two girls, and exclaimed : “ 1 wants my re
venge, and I’m bound to have it. When I
belonged to your father I ran away, he fol
lowed me to the woods and shot me, and I
iiatl to lose this arm ;do you see it ? Now
I’m bound to get even with him,” and
drawing his pocket knife, he severed her
arm entirely from her body, between tiie
wrist and elbow joint- r pi:e two scoundrels
then broke away and rail for the woods.
Very fortunately the girls had presence of
mind enough to tie the mutilated arm
tightly above the elbow, until medical aid
could be procured, and it is barely possible
that the young sufferer’s life may be spared.
The news of this deed of violence ran
like wild-fire all through the neighbor
hood, and in a short time a mounted patrol
was organized, who volunteered to go in
pursuit of the scoundrels. They soon
found one of them, whom they questioned
right sharply, but some how or other the
negro got lost somewhere in the swamp,
and the party returned home without him.
The other, and by far ti;e worst of the
two, succeeded. In escaping from that
neighborhood, and made hit? way toward
Macon. We are informed that a negro an
swering his description was seen at a place
known as Sandy Bottom on Sunday nigfet
last, and yesterday the police were in hot
search after him, a reward of five hundred
dollars having been offered for his capture.
The following is a pen and ink portrait
of the villian, as he has been described to
us by those acquainted with his person:
The man goes by the name of “Bob.” He
is about lire feet ten inches or six feet
high, of a ginger cake complexion, solid
and compact in his build, and very quick
spoken when addressed. His right arm
has been cut off at the shoulder joint, and
he lost his left eye. He has also a well de
fined scar upon his left cheek.
It, is to be hoped that the Governor of
the State will offer the customary reward
for bis apprehension, ftjr he is too danger
ous a negro to be permitted to be at large.
If captured In this city the negro will
probably be brought before a jury of twelve
men to answer for his crimes.
New Louisiana Rice.— The New Or
leans Picayune of Saturday, the 14lh inst.,
says : We have received from Mr. M. Bar
rois a sample of new hulled rice, which was
grown on Mr. Seraphin Soultant’s planta
tion in the parish of Plaquemines. This
rice is of the species called “bearded,” and
the grains are large, full, unbroken and
beautifully white. Thisia the first of the
new crop that has been received, and we
learn there is a certainty of an immense
yield in this State. Hitherto too little at
tention has been paid to rice culture in
Louisiana, but henceforth we imagine the
productions of this valuable grain will
rapidly increase.
A Beau Killed.— A large bear was kill
ed on Sunday, the Bth inst., about six miles
from Conwayboro’, S. 0., by Jackson Fow
ler, Everett Watts and others. The Horry
News says he had been killing hogs in the
neighborhood, and was routed up, and all
the dogs in the vicinity put after him.—
The chase is reported as a fine one. The
bear weighed oue hundred and sixteen
pounds net weight.
