four other citizens of Orangeburg, on yester-

more incumbent upon mo from tho fact that I
have tho honor to be the Intendant of this
Town under military appointment, by Special

Twill relate she circumstances. Some timo
since, q disturbance occurred near this place,
in tho course Of which ono Earle McCord, a
colorcd man, was shot, it is said, by Mr.. W.
v. Izlar. A friend Of Mr.. Izlar asked mo to
be one of his Bail for his appearance to an
swer the charge, mud consented Mr.. Izlar
was arrested, taken before Judge OH huJca$
corpus, and bailed in tho sum of three thou
sand dollars to appear before tho noxt session
of the Court
This was somo time ago. and Lieut. O'Con-
nor was prosent, when Mr.. Izlar was released
on Bail, in duo form of law. On the 9TH
! inst9 Lieut.. O'Connor returned to this place,
and because he was unable to obtain Mr.. Izlar
by extending q request to his Counsel for his
appearance in Orangeburg, Lieut.. O'Connor
adopted the arbitrary alternative of arrestipg
