'l'm; Ti.'amiuii of tiif. Mate Road
and his Bondsmen.— a few days since
the Atlanta Constitution stated that it was
reported in that city that Bullock wouid
shortly appoint Foster Blodgett Treasurer
of tlm Western and Atlantic Railroad rice
Hon. W. W. Clayton, who had for so long
a time filled that position with so much
credit to himself and so much profit to the
htatc. A day after this announcement
the same journal stated tiiat Buiiock,
forsutnc cau.-c or Either, had determined
to alter the previous arrangement by al
lowing Mr. Clayton to retain his position
a- Tn -up r and w u! 1 provide for Biod-
P'ett by dccapitatir • Major K. B. Walker,
the Master of Transportation of the
Western arid A hintic Railroad, and giving
to his ally the comfortable berth of the lat
ter. Again another rumor with regard to
the matter came to this city—the last re
port was not i u dished—to the effect that
Ben. Conley, the President of the State
Senate, and other prominent scalawags in
Augusta and Atlanta, had so earnestly
remonstrated against these two officer* be
ing removed that, influenced by their so
licitations, Bullock had determined to con
fer a stiff lower office on bis tavorite and
would give him a chief clerkship in tne
Atlanta office of the Western and Atlantic
Railroad. On last Wednesday, however,
all speculation on the subject war, ended by
the publication, in two of the Atlanta pa
pers, of the Governor’s official order that
“Hon, Foster Blodgett, of the county of
R i hmond, bo, and lie in hereby, appoint
ed Treasurer of the Western and Atlantic
Railroad, upon his giving bond and se
eurity in the stun of one hundred thousand
dollars, and taking aid subscribing th®
necessary oath required by the laws of the
State.” In am. uncing the appointment
it i. tafed by tie <'‘institution that Blod
gett Lad filed the necessary bond and that
lii bondsmen or-counties were three men
—one, named Hoyt, of Atlanta, and R. C.
Easterling and Thimia- R. Rhodes, of this
city.
It i a well known fact to the intelligent
people of this State that 'he office from
which Mr. Clayton has been removed, and
to which Blodgett ha* been appointed, is
one of the most responsible—if not the
riio.-t responsible -positions that a person
can b ■ appointed to in Georgia. It-i oc
cupant lias within his control the entire
receipt; of the most valuable piece of rail
road property 1 in the Southern States.
Built from Atlanta to Chattanooga at an
enormous expense, it is the most import
ant link in the great railroad chain which
eonin els the Southern with the Northern
arid Western States. The shortest and
most direct route between its two termini
that the best railroad engineer found it
possible toconstruef, if. is to-day, and will
ever l.e, without a rival line to cripple and
divide its immense business. In order
that our readers may form some idea of
the large amount of business which has
been done by this railroad since its com
pletion, we need only state that the rev
enue derived from it prior to the war, was
an amount almost sufficient to meet the
whole expenses of our State Government,
and that, in consequence, the State taxes
Were i educed to one-twenty-fifth of our per
i ill. Since the war this road has been
the | r c pal leeder of the Georgia, the
Central and the Macon & Western Rail
roads, and wo know what a heavy
carrying business has been transacted dur
ing the past twelve months by each of
three corporations. In fact, it is almost
impossible to estimate the value of this
linc;but a few days since we heard a gentle
man —formerly a Stato Senator, and one
who had examined the matter carefully—
remark that lie considered it the most
valuable piece of railroad property in the
United States
Our State Rcgiilalure, in order to pro
tect. this properly as much as possible from
the peculations of dishonest officials, have
enacted that the principal officers of the
Western A Atlantic Railroad should give
a lie ivy bond for the honest anil faithful
performance of their duties. Recognizing
the fact that the Treasurer of the Road
would have its entire funds within his con
trol ami at his disposal; knowing that, by
the employment of a dishonest person to
fill this position the Road could be almost
ruined by her dishonesty, to the end that
come check might be put upon such a per
son the law provides that the Treasurer of
the Road shall give bond in the sum of one
hundred thousand dollars. Now, though
we believe the amount fixed is too small,
gtifl it a solvent bond of that size be given
it protects tljo State to some extent from
robberies of a dishonest Treasurer. All
former Treasurer! ,we know,have given the
required bond and the State has not, as
yet, lost anything from that quarter. As-_
suming, then, the statement of the Consti
tution to bo tiue, has the new Treasurer
complied with the law on this subject?
'l’he law requires that the Treasurer shall
take the oaths required of all civil officers,
a special oath as Treasurer, and shall give
bond and security in the sum of one hun
dred thousand dollars, which shall be ap
proved by the Governor and filed. That
Blodgett has taken the necessary oath we
have no doubt—a Grand Jury, of Chatham
county h s already testified with regard to
his sw- aring capacity—but we do say that
lie has not given the bond which the law
requires. The law requires that each sure
ty on a botul shall be worth the amount of
the bond over and above the property which
may ho exempt by the provisions of the
homestead and other relief statutes. Who
are Blodgett’s bondsmen? According to
the Constitution Hoyt, ot Atlanta, R. C.
Easterling, and T. 11. Rhodes, ol Au
gusta. What Hoyt’s circumstances are
we are not positively informed (we call
upon the Constitution for information
un the subject), but we have examined the |
tax b iks ot ibis county to learn something |
~l tin- financial condition of Messrs. Rhodes !
ted Easterling, and the examination has!
r , -uli, 1 a-follows: T. R. Rhodes returns
,-i. v propi rty valued at $20,000; money and
. Mvent debts $5,000; household and kitch
en furniture $S00; a few other items swell
• iis returns to a total of $25,300 scvcuty
tive thousand dollars less than the amount
oY the bond. R C. Easterling appears
upon the books only to the amount of
$1 00— poll tax. It IS thus made perfect
ly plain that neither Blodgett nor Bullock
fins complied withllie law in this instance,
thx't the former lias given and the latter
appr vod an official bond, two of the securi
tj,,s ,m -a Inch are proved by the tax-books
of their county not to be properly such—
one of these paying taxes only on $25,000,
the other on no property at all, while the
Kurd given was for one hundred thousand
dollars. The Code retires that the Gov
ernor shall not approve an official bond un
til satisfied of its solvency; yet here we are
told that Bullock, in order to put a politi-
,-al pimp »" office, a man notoriously bank
rupt in purse and character, has accepted
»s securities, on the bond of the latter, j
two men who are worth but a fourth of the j
required amount. We state tuese tacts i
for the beue'd ol the a'readv overburdened
tatt L-rs o! the State, and beg. most re
, to call the attention of our State
t\ t t the subject, that some ac-
j on , .j nin the matter to protect

Death of as Aged Lady.—On the
Isth of this month there died at her resi
,l,-uee, in Warren county in this State, one
ot the' oldest inhabitants of Georgia. The
name of the lady was Mrs. riiizabtth
Wynne, and she was the wife of Mr.
Benjamin Wynne. She was born on the
tilth day of May, seventeen hundred and
seventy-three, and at the lime ot her ueath
was ninety-six years, two months and thir
teen days old.
Grant anu Jiihjk Dent,— A Wash
ington dispatch says: “Before Judge Dent
accepted the nomination for Governor of
Sissiasippi, he had a lengthy interview
wth the President, who advised him to
aoept the nomination, and expressed the
hoe that he would be elected. The Presi
ded, at the same time, said that it was
deired to have a lairelectiouin Mississippi

Iron for the Knoxville and Ken
tucky Railroad.—A large quantity ot
iron, purchased for the Knoxville A Ken
tucky Railroad, passed through this city
yesterday. A good deal of iron for the
same Railroad has been passing through
Augusta during the past week.
The Ku-klux in Glascock County.—
The Warren ton Clipper says that a man
named Brazzcl and his son, living in
Glascock county, were tied to a tree and
whipped, on the 16th instant, for stealing
a trunk, pistol, S9O in greenbacks, etc.,
from a negro named Warren Kitchens.
Brazzcl and family came from South
Carolina, and have been roaming around
"the country ince Christmas. They bear
a bad and disreputable character.
The Atlanta Slander Mill would grind a
■‘horrible outrage on a Union man and hi s
family” out of this, bat unfortunately for
the mil!, Kitchens is a negro and the Braz
zels are white Democrats.
A Strange Case.—The little son of
Mr. John Fincher, of Thoinaston, Up
son county, is added very strangely. He
is able to respire only about four times in
one minute ; otherwise, he is apparently
sound and cheerful, and he is able to walk
about the streets. He is about twelve
years old, and his breathing has been af
fected about three months. His case is a
puzzle to all the medical profession who
have examined him.
Business at tiie South.—A Washing
ton telegram to the New York Times
says; “The business and commercial re
ports from the South are of the most en
couraging character. A gentleman who
has travelled over nearly all of the South
ern States says that the people generally
have not only recovered from the effects
of the war and the general depression of
a year ago, caused by political complica
tions, but that they arc now on a fair road
to riches, and that the entire section of
country will shortly be as flourishing as it
was before the war.”
Wear of Railroads.—The average
wear of the tracks of the railroads of the
United States is estimated at 7 per cent,
per annum, 'faking the length of the
roads at 42,250 miles, the annual wear
consumes sufficient iron to lay 2,957 miles
of track, enough to lay a road from hero to
San Francisco. Ninety tons are required
for a mile of single tracK, so that 260,175
tons of iron arc used up uunually by the
locomotives and cars.
Richmond and Ohio River Rail
road. —It i» understood that twelve emi
nent New York capitalists have under
taken to complete the work begun by the
State of Virginia before the war, of build
ing a railroad from Richmond and Wash
ington to the Ohio River. A party of en
gineers and railroad men have juht passed
over the route, and say that it is a favor
able one, the distance between common
points at the West and the seaboard b, ing
less, and the grades twenty-live percent,
less than any of the other tr ink lines. Two
millions of money lias already been raised
for the project.
A man who lias worked for yoars in the
Brooklyn Navy Yard as a machinist, ha,s
learned, in his leisure hours, to speak, read
and write Hebrew, French, German and
Italian, and obtained a thorough knowledge
of geology and botany. Out of his savings
he has purchased a library of 1,200 vol
umes.
A Healthy Decision in North Caro
lina. —The Supreme Court of North Caro
lina, in the case of the University Railroad
Company vs. W. W. Holden, Governor,
and the Public Treasurer, decides against
the Company. The question raised in
volved the constitutionality of large ap
propriations for all the new works charter
ed by the profligate Radical Legislature of
that State. The decision, pronounced by
Reconstructed Judges, must have a good
effect on North Carolina bonds. Some
thing similar is needed in Georgia.
An Oppressive Law.—The internal
revenue law pertaining to the sale of to
bacco, in the form of segars, chewing,
snuff, etc., is very severe, and if strictly en
forced must annihilate the retai’ trade in
those articles. If a retailer sells a segar,
except taken at the time of sale from the
original box, he is liable to two years’ im
prisonment and a fine of $1,000! So in
regard to chewing tobacco and snuff—they
must be retailed from the original package
or a like penalty is incurred. A retailer
cannot take a handful of segars from a box
in his show-case, place them upon the out
side glass and sell one or more from the
lot without the risk of fine and imprison
ment; he must let his customers select
from the box—from the original package
—himself. Tlio unnecessary obstructions
to the trade thus presented are calculated
to destroy it and oppress a large and iu
dustiious class of citizens. Snuff cannot
bo sold from ajar, but must be taken from
the bladder—the original package—by the
cent’s worth.
The Cuban Ir surrection.—A dis
patch from Havana says that sickness is
increasing in the ranks of the Spanish and
rebel forces. The mortality is frightful.
It is estimated that the deaths amount to
fifteen per cent, monthly of the men in
the field on both sides. The Spanish
troops are afflicted most with vomito,
while the insurgents suffer from cholera
and diarrhoea, caused especially by want
and exposure. When the hot and rainy!
seasons are past the volunteers will go into !
active service in the field, and reinforce- j
ments will arrive from Spain. It is said |
that Secretary Fish approves the scheme j
for the purchase of (Juba by the Cubans,
the United States indorsing their bonds,
or otherwise helping them. President
Grant, it is likewise asserted, will not al
low the Spanish iron-clad, in course of
building at the North, to sail. Mr. Cas
sanova has tiled at the State Department
anew protest as an American citizen
against the violent search of his planta
tion in Cuba by the Spaniards. He asks
indemnity for the ruin lie lias suffered, and
claims bis rights as an American. The
1 Cuban agents in Washington are quiet,
! and witbiu the past two days have failed
ito develop anything of interest. They
profess, however, to have assurances of
something favorable to them which is to
transpire very soon.

POLITICIL MOT IN BABSWELL!
| TWO MEN KILLED IN TH3 FRAY !
ANOTHER MORTALLY WOUNDED!
Four or Five Stabbed Seriously !
What it Costs to Call a Alan a Scalawag.
Since the surrender of General Lee’s
army in 1865 riots and bloodshed seem to
have become the order of the day in this
unhappy country. Never has party spirit
raged so high, political animosities
and quarrels been conducted with such
bitterness, or have borne such bloody fruits
as has been the case in the Southern States
since the plan of Congressional reconstruc
tion was first inaugurated. It might truth
fully be said that the work of reconstruc
tion has, in every State, been literally ce
mented with blood. Every convention cr
political gathering is the scene of strife;
every election day is a day of battle, and
every election precinct becomes a battle
field on which these contests arc decided,
and which is too often stained with the
blood of our best and most useful citizens.
The last scene of carnage we have been
called upon to publish has occurred in the
thoroughly loyal and thoroughly recon
structed State of South Carolina—a State
which, for the pa3t year, has been com
pletely under the control of the carpet
baggers and negroes, and whose govern
ment is such as to satisfy even the de
mands of Congress, and call forth the
most extravagant encomiums on the land
of Laurens and of Rutledge from the
blue-nosed miscegenators of Massachu
setts.
THE SCENE OF THE DIFFICULTY.
Owing to the distance from .the city of
the place where the difficulty occurred; its
complete isolation, being off the line of
steam or telegraphic communication, it has
been lound almost impossible to get posses
sion pf the particulars of the fatal affair.
Still, by bard work, enough has been ob
tained from different sources to warrant
our reporter in believing that hchas gotten
an account "of the affray which will be
found substantially correct.? j lt is, wc pre
sume, well known to our readers that, at
the last session of the negro Legislature of
South Carolina, an act was passed divid
ing all the counties of the State (which
had been changed into counties from dis
tricts by the Constitutional Convention)in~
to a number of townships—in close
imitation of the political divisions of New
England. Within the past few months the
people have been busy completing the or
ganization of these townships by the elec
tion of officers, etc. One of the townships
created by the Legislature is situated near
the hanks of the Savannah river,in Barnwell
county, at a place known as the Upper
Three Runs—distant about twenty-five
miles from Augusta. In this township
an election for officers was ordered
to be held on last Thursday—the
day on which the difficulty occurred.
THE ELECTION.
The township was of course inhabited by
two parties, Radicals and Democrats, and
each faction bad its candidates in the field.
The principal officer to bo elected was a
Township Clerk, and for this position the
Democrats were running a very respect
able gentleman named John S. Green;
while the candidate of the negroes was a
man named Pickers Woodward, the son
of a will-to-<!" cl' -chant, who, we under
stand, had aiwayo stood well in the coun
ty, but who, being very popular with the
negroes, suffered his name to be used on
the Radical ticket. The cleonon took place
on Thursday morning, and was held at
Nat. Greene’s store. Os course, as the
negroes had a large numerical majority,
they carried the township and elected their
candidate, while Greene was defeated.
There were present at the election, besides
other white men, the Democratic candi
date, John Greene, his son, Frank Greene,
his son-in-law, John Holland, James
Tyler, Wyatt Tyler, and throe or four
others of the same name, Pickens Wood
ward, the Radical candidate, A. P. Wood
ward, hislbrother, and W. J. Woodward,
his father.
HOW THE RIOT COMMENCED.
After the election was over, and it was
known what party had been successful, a
crowd of the white men wore standing
around the store discussing it; in whicii
crowd were the parties above mentioned.
At length one of the Tylers, an ardent
Democrat, remarked, that while he hated
very badly his party’s being defeated by
the negroes, still he attached no blame to
the latter for what they.had done, but the
men he did blame were the “and and white
scalawags who ran on the negro ticket.”
At this remark A. P. Woodward stepped
up to the speaker and said that his
brother’s name was on that ticket; that he
was no scalawag and Tyler must withdraw
the offensive epithet. The latter declined
to make the required retraction and an
altercation between the parties ensued,
while their respective friends gathered
around.
THE MELEE COMMENCES.
While the quarrel was progressing be
tween Tyler and A. P. Woodward, but
before blows had passed, the Radical can
didate stepped into the crowd with a drawn
revolver in his hand to take his brother’s
part. As soon as this was observed, John
Greene, the Democratic candidate, fell
upon Woodward and knocked the pistol
from his hand. Almost at the same in
staut A. P. Woodward turned from Tyler,
drew his revolver and shot John Greene,
killing him almost instantly. Here John
Holland drew his pistol to defend his
father-in-law, but before he could fire,
Woodward shot him, inflicting a mortal
wound.
A SCENE OF CARNAGE.
The melee here became general, and of it
it is impossible to give any detailed de
scription. The negroes retreated from
the precinct as soon as the firing com
menced, and the field was left to the Tylers,
Hollands, Greenes and Woodwards. As
fast as the combatants emptied their pis
tols, the useless weapons were thrown
aside and the knife was drawn and freely
used by both parties. We learn that as
Jno. Holland lay dying on the ground,witb
the balls whistling around him, and the
parties dealing murderous stabs over him,
he managed to cock and aim his revolver
and shot A. P. Woodward twice, one of
the balls penetrating his back, the other
taking effect in his kidneys—the latter
wound, it is believed, being mortal. Frank
Green was also shot and severely wound
ed and stabbed with a knife. -James
Tyler, Wyatt Tyler, and two or three
others were badly stabbed, but none of
their wounds will prove mortal. Thus
closed this terrible combat, in which one
man was killed outright; two others mor
tally wounded (one of whom has since
died); in which every man engaged was,
we believe, more or less seriously wound
ed, and which will carry mourning and
desolation into so many families.
CONCLUSION.
On yesterday morning at an early hour
a messenger came up from the scene of
slaughter to this city for the purpose ol
procuring a coffin for Mr. Greene. Later
in the day another messenger came for
another coffin —this one tor Mr. Holland.
We suppose the next one ordered will be
for Mr. A. P. Woodward, who, ire learn,
was not expected to live. Allot the parties
in this tragic occurrence were, we under
stand. men highly honorable and_ of un
doubted social position. A. P. Woodward
is well known in this city, having been
living here for two or three years, clerking
for the house of W. S. Royal, corner of
Broad and Centre streets, and had gone
home for a few days on a visit to his family.
He is a man of good character and a capital
shot with a pistol, having frequently, iu
his employer's store, shot off the head of a
rat at twenty paces with a Colt's revolver.
The Barnwell Butchery.—No fur
ther trouble is reported as having occurred
in Barnwell county, South Carolina, sicoe
the bloody election affray which took place
on last Thursday, a full account of which
was given in the columns of the Chroni
cle A Sentinel on yesterday morning.
On yesterday morning a letter was re
ceived by a gentleman of tcis city from W .
J. Woodward, the father of the Radical
candidate for clerk, and of A. P- W ood
ward, he whose pistol did such execution
onThursday, stating that the wound of the
•alter, he was afraid, would prove mortal,
TTiOIBLE IS SOTTU CAROLINA.
NEGRO MILITIA CALLED OUT!
They Occupy Edgefield Conit-nouse.
On yesterday morning while the Barn
well butchery was the universal topic of
conversati >n on the streets of our city, an
other report of trouble in another county
of the same unfortunate State, South
Carolina, was freely circulated. Ihe
rumors were of the mo.-t terrible character,
and stated that a fierce -conflict between
the whites and blacks bad taken place on
the day before, at the Courthouse town ot
Edgefield county; that Governor Scott had
called out the n;gro militia, and had
placed the county under martial law; that
the militia, after a bloody c*wte:. with the
whites, had taken the town and still held
it in their possession, etc. After a good
deal of troable oar reporter managed to
find a gentleman just from Edgefield Court
house, who gave to him full particulars cl
the whole affair; but stated that there had
been no fighting up to the time of his leav
ing the village, though much trouble wa =
anticipated. Reports from the passengers
on the evening train of the Charlotte, Co
lumbia & Augusta Railroad confirm our
informant’s story, aai we believe that our
readers will find it entirely correct.
THE PEOTLE OF EDGEFIELD COUNTY.
Since the reconstruction of South Caro
lina and the establishment of negro gov
ernment, the white people of Edgefield
county, though all of them ardent Dem
ocrats, and, as such, bitterly opposed to the
possession of the State being turned ova
to a race of ignorant nhgroes and a few in
famous carpet-baggers and scalawags,
have been among the most quiet auu law
abiding citizens of the State. Though
nearly all of the younger men of the county
were in the Confederate army—wo ere
many of their number were slain—and
were not disposed to look very kindly up
on the new order of things, yet, restrained
by the example and advice of such men as
Bonham, Gary and Butler, who were their
Generals during the war, they have care
fully refrained from doing anything which
would giye to their enemies a pretext to
oppress them. But it appears that their
good conduct has been of no avail and that
the miserable tyrant, Scott, and his un
derlings have determined to drive them to
desperation.
HOW THE TROUBLE ORIGINATED.
Some weeks since there was a murder
committed in the county, and two negroes
ere the victims. Though no proof was
obtained as to who wCrfl the murderers,
still three white men were arrested by the
county authorities upon suspicion and
lodged in the jail at Edgefield Court
House—one of these meu an one-armed
Confederate soldier named Lanier. Despite
the prompt arrest and incarceration of
these parties, the negroes living around
the Court House were very much dissat
isfied, and were loud in their murmurs
that Union men were shot down like dogs
by rebel bushwhackers, and the criminals
were allowed to go unpunished. A white
scalawag named Eisenberger, the Coroner
of the county, took the part of the negroes,
aad is said to have labored assiduously to
cause trouble between the races. Through
the representations of this man, it is al
leged, that four detectives were sent to
the county from Columbia to work up the
case.
THE K. K. IC. BURN THE CORONER.
Some time after ail this had happened,
a few thoughtless lads of the village as
sembled one night, and, after making a
figure of straw into some faint resemblance
of “old Eisenberger,” took the effigy out
a short distance from town and made of it
a jolly good bonfire. When the Coroner
was informed of this act of a parcel of
boys, he pretended to be very much alarm
ed, and to fear that his loyal lite was en
dangered by the machinations of the Ku
klux- Hastily packing up his traps, he
repaired, by private conveyance, to Colum
bia, and poured forth, his grievances into
the willing ear of the State Executive,
Gov. R. K. Scott, beseeching that the lat
ter would grant him protection. It was
then decided, we are told, by the Govern
or to order out the safeguard of the State,
ye loyal (colored) militia. Arms wore or
dered to be furnished, and the Coroner
once more returned to his home in Edge
field county. Citizens of the town state
that a few nights after his return he enter
ed the village one night at a very late hour,
surrounded by a large body-guard of negro
militia, and marched through the deserted
streets; but no encounter with the Ku-klux
took place. Like . the famous King of
Brentford, who,
“with full ten thousand meu,
Marched up the hill and theD marched
down again,”
Eisenberger, after this parade 6f his sable
veterans, left the town, without having an
opportunity offered for testing the mettle
of the “Melish.”
ARMS SENT FROM COLUMBIA.
On last Thursday morning a large
quantity—four hundred stands—of arms
were shipped from Columbia to Edgefield
county on the Charlotte, Columbia & Au
gusta Railroad, under the charge of the
State Constable, Hubbard. When the
train arrived at Pine House Station, dis
tant five or six miles from the Court House,
the arms were unloaded at the depot and
the boxes broken open. A large crowd of
negroes assembled at the depot after the
departure of the train and the distribution
of the arms commenced. Our informant
was not positive as to the mat e of the
guns, but believed theur to be sixteen
shooting rifles. After the negroes had as
sembled, arms were distributed to 73 of
them and the party marched off in the
direction of Edgefield Court House. All
along the line of march negro recruits
joined the sable column until upon its
reaching the town it numbered severa,
hundred men, headed by Eisenberger and
Hubbard as commanding officers.
THE TOWN SEIZED.
Arrived in the town no resistance was
offered by the unoffending and astonished
ciiizens, and the negroes took peaceable
possession of the village. Their first
movement was to take charge of the jail,
after discharging the jailor, place a heavy
guard around it, while Hubbard went in the
building and tried to force a confession
from Lanier with regard to the bush
whackers who killed the negroes and
whipped Eisenberger (for Eisenberger says
the K. Iv. K. have whipped him). Since
that time a force of one hundred negroes
have remained in the town and a guard of
fifteen men around the jail, and all the
arms have been brought from Pine-
House to the town in Eisenberger’s
wagon.Eisenberger declares that they shall
remain there until the bushwhackers wkG
lynched him are all discovered. He has
authority from the Governor to raise a
company of one hundred men ior his own
protection. The citizens are behaving very
quietly and doing all in their power to
avoid a ecliision. They intend, however,
holding a meeting and sending a protest
against this military occupation to Colum
bia and to Washington City. Togive seme
idea of the injustice of the laws of the
State, the white people are taxed one hun
dred and fifty dollars per day for the sup
| port of these black rascals, though there is
no necessity whatever for their presence.
The only excuse given by Hubbard Lx -m.
| high handed outrage,being the lynching oi
■ Eisenberger by unknown parties and the
killing a>f two negroes long since, also by
unknown parties. Their guarding the jail
is simply all pretense, as no attempt to
rescue the prisoners has ever been made,
nor has a rescue been threatened. The
whole affair is simply a movement by
Eisenberger to get himself made Sheriff oi
the county, which office he has long since
desired. Our informant seemed to think,
that though everything is quiet now, it
will require but slight provocation to
i bring on a contest, in which, when it does
come, the negro troops will be exterminat
ed. The citizens feel that they have been
outraged to tout point Le3oQdwhic-i iur
iher endurance ceases to be a virtue anu
would become criminal. We await fur
ther developments with muc , anximv.

A Fearful Tragedy.
A MAN KILLED BY A DOG!
On yesterday we came into possession of
the particulars of a most singular and fear
ful tragedy, which recently occurred in one
of th i ; counties of this State.
The gen, Lilian from whom we received
our information has requested us to give
neither the name of vhe county in which
the horrible scene took place, nor the
names of the actors in it: in the first place,
because the families of the parties are
among the best and most respectable in the
county, and should ntt be subjected to this
additional mortification for an act which
they can, in no manner, be held responsi
ble; and, in the second vi .ee, because pub
licity would now, in no way, subserve the
ends.- of justice, as the guilty party has
already expiated h:s crime by so fearful a
punishment. Vv e will only preface our
account of the matter by stating that our
information was derived from a well-known
and highly esteemed gentleman of this
city, and may be safely relied upon as per
fectly correct in every particular.
In one of the mountain counties of
Georgia there lives two families, each be
fore the war noted for its wealth and re
sin ament. Since the - war the families
(whom wc shall call respectively R and L)
though th y had, like nearly every one
else, lost everything by the conflict, still
retained the high position in society which
they had for some long a time filled. One
of them, the L's, lost several of its mem
bers, as, well as its fortune, by the war,
and at the commencement of our story
consisted of Mr. L, a genleman fifty-five
years of age, his wife, nearly the same
age, and an unmarried daughter of about
twenty-five. In about a quarter of a mile
of their house, lived one of the R’s, a
young man who had recently married a
very beautiful young lady ol the county,
and having left the paternal mansion, was
farming by himself on a small tract of
ground. The two families lived some dis
tance from the county town, in a sparsely
inhabited section of country, and, being
each the nearest neighbor of the other,
were, of course, on terms of great intima
cy. Between the young wife and the
daughter of Mr. L.— a fast friendship was
soon formed—both being nearly the same
age and oi similar tastes and disposition,
and relying upon each other for company
in the daily absence of the two gentlemen,
who were engaged in superintending the
business of their farms.
A few days since Mr. II informed
his wife that he had received a letter,
which would compel immediate attendance
in Atlanta, where lie would have to re
main for several days, and as it would be
inconvenient for him to take her with him
to that city, advised that she should ask'
her young neighbor to stay with her dur
ing his absence. The next morning he set
out in his buggy for Atlanta, and his wife
during the morning went over toL ’s
bouse for the purpose of inviting her
young friend to stay with her. \V hen she
arrived there she told the young lady of
the absence of her husband; representing
how lonely she would find her house at
night from the fact tiiat she employed no
house-servant, and her cook, together with
the few laborers employed on the \farm,
slept at the “negro quarter,” nearly lialfa
mile from the dwelling house, and ended
by asking Miss L to spend the
n : ght,s with her until her husband returned.
The young lady, after consultation with
her mother, rc&ddy assented to the
proposition and promised to come
over during the afternoon. Having
accomplished her purpose and feeling
very much relieved in mind, Mrs.
R returned home and spent the day
performing the usual household duties.
When the liiorning had passed away and
the afternoon came and then the sun set
without bringing her friend, she felt no
alarm, but thought that the latter had de
cided not to co no until after tea, when her
father, across the field, which separated
the two house, would escort her. Accord
ingly the evening meal was eaten, house
hold affairs arranged and the cook dis
missed for the night to her distant cabin
at the “quarter.” About nine o’clock
Mrs. 11. began to feel a little uneasy, as
Miss L. had not yet come, when a servant
came up to the house and brought a note
from her expected friend, stating that she
would be unable to spend the night with
her, as she had promised, for her father,
from some cause or other, had positively
refused to give his consent to the arrange
ment. After delivering the note the ser
vant took his departure arid the brave
woman prepared to spend the night by her
self. Feeling that she had a protector in
a large and very fierce yard-dog belonging
to her husband, she took him into her bed
room and, after securing the house, lay
down and resigned herself to sleep.
About twelve o’clock she was awakened,
from her slumbers by a noise in the house
and the angry growling of the dog and dis
covered that the hall door had been forced
and that someone was standing at her
room door seeking an entrance. Speaking
as loudly as her flight would let her Mrs.
R asked, “Wh® is there?” A man’s
voice which she did not recognize, replied
by telling her to “open the door.” Again
she asked the same question and again re
ceived the same reply, the stranger adding
that if she refused he would “break the
d —n door down.” During this dialogue
the dog, still growling, crouched upon the
floor as if ready to spring. Thinking to
intimidate this man, who sought her ruin,
Mrs. R cried to him that if he forced
the4oor she wouid shoot him. Laughing
scornfully, the ruffian threw his weight
against the light door, burst it open and
entered the room —when, quick as thought,
the savage dog sprang forward and fasten
ed onhisneck. The man, astonished at this
sudden attack, attempted to kill the dog
with a knife which he held iu his hand, but
unsuccessfully, and the powerful animal
dragged him to the ground, still retaining
his hold upon his throat. Stunned at first
by this unlooked-for deliverance,the woiiun,
in a few seconds, regained her presence of
mind somewhat, ran screaming from the
house, never stopping until she arrived at
the place of theL.’s. where her cries soon
aroused the family. Her tale was "rapidly
told, and the servants were preparing to go
to the scene of danger, when suddenly
Mr. L .was missed, and his wile, almost on
the instant, as it struck by a sudden pre
sentiment, screamed “Merciful God! it
must be my husband!” With a cry of
horror, the party set forth, and ran as fast
to the house of Mrs. R. as the latter had
run away from it a few minutes before.
Arrived there they found the man still on
the floor, and the dog still grasping his
throat. Beating him.away from his prey
they found the suspicions of Mrs. L. but
too correct; it was her husband—but the
teeth of the dog had done their work, and
he was dead.
It appears that lie had returned to his
home at five o’clock on the previous even
ing, and hearing of the departure of R.,
and the intention of his daughter to spend
the night with the young wife, he positive
ly refused to allow her io_do so, assigning
some frivolous cause for the refusal. That
night he left home, saying that he was
; going to setup all night with a sick neigh
it. It is
ilf iri the
woods until midnight, and theD, influenced
i bv unholy lust, forc’d an entranc? into the
h ii-j <: .u., to no ate the person of the i
wifi f the latter. When the case became
known the mow intense excitement pre
vailed in the c-ounty, and had not Provi
dence punished the criminal he would
probably have been hung to the nearest
tree by the enraged populace.
Half wav up Lookout Mountain, the
place where memory is stirred by a thou
sand thrilling association-, and where the
brave boys ot both armies met and fought
hand to hand, where the blood of both
friend and foe was mingled together and
ran down the mountain side in rivulets, is
a smooth-faced rock, upon which a poor,
wounded soldier inscribed the following :
i\—B60 —X.— Early iu the battle 1
| was wounded and carried to this spot by
two clever ‘Yanks.’ They bade me fare
well, aud as they- supposed, to die, for I
was 'so weak from loss o: blood that I
; could but faintly thank them for their
: kindness. They left in my canteen a part
i bottle of Plantation Bitters, to which
I owe my life, for it strengthened me, and
kept life” within me until help came and
ray wound was dressed. God bless them
for their kindness, and ; ,r the Planta

From Charleston.
Charleston, July 2-1, noon.—Much ex
citement prevails among the two wings of
the Republican parly here. Dr. Mackey,
thelat ' Collector, leads the native wing,
which includes the mass of the colored
voters, while Senator Sawyer, Congress
man Bowen and George W. Clark, the
newly appoint 1 Collector in place of
Mackey, head the Northern element. The
removal of Mackey has intensified the
bitterness between the two factions. On
Thursday Clark called on Mackey and
presenting his commission, demanded
instant possession of the Coliectot’s otlice
Mackey refused to vacate uutil he had
taken inventories of public property and
received receipts from Clark, but promised
to make the transfer on the 31st instant.
Clark insisted on immediate surrender,
which being refused, he entered Mackey’s 1
otlice and attempted to act as Collector,
whereupon he was forcibly ejected by'
Mackey's subordinates. Yesterday after- !
noon Mackey and other Custom House j
officers were arrested at the instance of
Clark on a charge of assault and obstruct
ing an afflear of Revenue and were bound
over to answer before the United States
Commissioner on Monday. During the
hearing of the ease Ciark, with a posse of
thirty.men, forced his way into the Cus
tom House and took possession, which he
still retains. The partisans of Clark at
tempted to serenade Sawyer and Bowen
last night, but the colored Republicans
rallied iu large numbers, charging the
procession and capturing its flag, which
they carried in triumph to Mackey at his
residence. The colored Republicans bit
terly denounce the action ol the adminis
tration iu removing Mackey, and declare
that Clark, the new Collector, is a traitor
to the Republican party.

Collector Casey, of New Orleans, writes.
Boutwell enclosing a letter from William
McCreery regarding Coolie importations,
and asks instructions. Boutwell replies
McCreery is in error in stating that the
act of February, ’O2, forbidding American
citizens from engaging in the Cooiie
trade was abrogated ; on the sixteenth ■
January, ’67, passed unanimously both
Houses of Congress expressing its abhor
ence to the people of the United States
for the Coolie trade. Iu conformity there
with Secretary McCulloch addressed a let
ter to the Collector of i ustoms at New
Orleans,a copy of which Boutwell enclosed
to Casey. Additional article live to treaty
concluded 28th July last, and now only
waiting Chinese raliiicatiou, reprobates
any other than voluntary emigration,
and makes it a penal offence to take
Chinese subjects from China without their
free consent. The Department of (State,
bv circular January seventeenth, ’67, ad
dressed to tiie Ministers and Consuls of
the United States, directs that Consuls at
every oort where Colies may embark be
required to certify, after full examination,
that such embarkation is not forced or
procured by fraud, and requires that such
Ministers a'ud Consuls.use qll their power
and influence to prevent and discourage
the Coolie trade. Sueh being the facts
Boutwell instructs ahd directs Casey to
use all vigilance to suppress this, as Bout
well terms it, “now modification of the
slave trade.”. ‘
