RIOTING IN THE SOUTH.
Serious Affair at Gadsden, 3. C.-G0verno
scott's BayOnets Called Into Regulation.

Serious Ss Cs-GOVeruOr
SCOTS hay Onets Called into ReGuisition.
We learn, says the Columbia Ph9rsic, that
very serious difficulty, resulting in the death of
at least one person by a bayonet thrust, occurred
at Gadsden on Saturday. 1t seems that meet
ing was being held for the purpose of appoint
ing delegates to the Radical Nominating Con-
vention, which assemblies in this city on the 22d,
when the friends OF the different parties, not
satisfied with abusive language, came to blows.
From the mass of exciting reports in circulation
it would seem that Philip Epstein (white) called
Senator Nash liar, when the latter
knocked him off the platform. Some of Nash's
friends resented the insulting language and
assaulted Epstein, whereupon a colored man,
named Wash Bynum, drew his knife and used it
Unfortunately and effectively, wounding not
less than seven or eight persons.
Bynum was run through the body with a
bayonet and instantly killed. The fight now
became general bayonets and fence rails being
the weapons used. One of Governor Scott's
militia companies was on parade, which ac-
counts, our informants say, for the presence of
the death dealing implements. Probate Judge
Wigg, Senator Nash, Representative Thompson,
and other prominent Republican office-holders
and seekers were present, but succeeded by a
proper use of their legs, in reaching the railway
train. colored man, named Sye Davis, says
he thought he made the best time on record, but
found that the individuals mentioned above
were equally as good on run.
1t is impossible, owing to the excitement and
the contradictory statements, to learn how

seen of Mr. Epstein, he was making good time
down the road. pursued by several infuriated
colored men, with rails in their hands, and
serious fears are entertained for his safety The
crowd was so dense on the railroad that the
train was forced to move slowly for some time
to avoid crushing into the excited mass. Pas
sengers assure us that when the train left the
battle was being vigorously kept up, and doubt
less other lives were lost. One member of the
HRepublican Band" was wounded in the leg and
face. We learn by telegraph from KIngsvlle
that when the down train passed everything
was quiet. All the parties connected with the
affair are Republicans,

Business Falling OF.

Court of Quarter Sessions-Jtldge Parson.
The business of this court is now stacking OF
considerably as the week draws to a close.
John Griffin was found guilty OF stealing pocket
book containing S5 from German who was heavily
sleeping Off the potatons he had been indulging in
at a tavern on Columbia avenue. When arrested
Griffin returned 50 and said he had no more.
Two young men employed as day-workers In the
Rouse OF Refugee were tried for the larceny OF a
pair Of shoes. The only evidence against them was
that OF boy confined in the House, who said he
stole the shoes from the regular shop by agreement
with these young men, who were to take them out
and sell them to raise money for tobacco to chew
the ''galorious" Fourth. This fellows statement
being unsupported by any other witness, and being
denied positively by the defendants, the jury OF
course, rendered verdict of not guilty.

WHEELING IN DANGER.
Persfstent Attempts to Burn Down the City
AhOiehaIe Incendia rIsm.

The Wheeling ITlteLLlgencef OF yesterday says:
1t seems there are some desperate villains in
the city who, from some motive, are determined
to burn it up. Saturday night, at IL o'clock, in
broad moonlight, directly on frequented street,
with people passing about fire was kindled in
lumber shed beside Coen's carpenter shop,
nately it was discovered and extinguished before
it had gained headway, and thus was prevented
o conhagration that must have swept half or
three-quarters of that square. just before the
alarm was given man was seen emerging from
the alley upon Fifth street, who, seeing himself
discovered, ran off down street and disappeared.
Yesterday an inspection OF the premises showed
that an attempt had been made first to klndle
fire under Brodie's carpenter shop Immediately
adjoining.
Two hours after this, fire was discovered
three or four squares further east in a stable
where a fire was clearly impossible except by
the hand of an incendiary. This fire, as the
report shows, had made such progress that a
number of buildings were destroyed and much
valuable property endangered. A short time
before this fire was discovered couple of men
were heard in the alley near the stable talking
in low tones.
A few minutes before the fire was discovered
in the rear of Bulgers cigar store on Market
street. last Tuesday morning, two men were
heard to run up the adjoining alley to Fourth
and down that street. One of them was seen
running with his hat in his hand. Nobody
| doubts they were the villains who set that fire.
and they are probably the same who set the fires
| Saturday night and yesterday morning. The
| general belief that Collins brass foundry was
set by an incendiary has become conviction ir
| the light of these subsequent events.
If anything could be wanting to dispel
| every doubt that there was fre-bug in our
midst, it need only be added that just after dark
last night, before o'clock, fire was discovered
| in the rear of G. H. Berrys cordage store, on
Water street, a building filed with combustible
| and infammable materials, just in the rear of
| the Main street wholesale houses. The fire had

That this too was the work of some devil in

Some prompt and energetic measures of pro-

bic diligence is not equal to the occasion.
Since the foregoing was put in type an un-
successful attempt has been made to burn the

it is impossible, at this rate, to anticipate.
