ALL ABOUT THE STATE.
DISTURBANCE IN ABBEvILE.
The Abbevile Press has the following notice
OF disturbance which took place in that vii
lage on i.onday last: "a Mr: E. 9. Newby,
under bond for his appearance at court. and and
had come up for that purpose, was quietly
seated in the barber chop waiting to be shaved,
hen he was set upon BY two Of The consSb
handled. Sustained and supported by crowd
OF excited blacks with raised clubs and meuac-
ing words, these constabes, with loaded pis-
tolls at his head: for time put him in immi-
nent tpevil Of his life, and were only forced to
desiBt by tue intervention OF mir. Penn Guffu.
As We have said, the blacks ''pitched in" to
aid the consta bulary; but the whites, with
commcndable forbearance and wise modera-
tion, preserved their temper-at least desisted
from interference. We trust that tho unseomly
and adverse lawlcss conduct Of Mcbride and
MCPHERSON is disayowcd by the constabulary."
