The Milwaukee News is out with a
terrible philippe against Harpers Weeks
ly. The otfense of the Weekly seems to
be the singing pictorial satires of Mast
upon the Tammany Democracy, and the
POLITICAL editorials of George VIM. Ours
It's. We have failed to discover any.
thing unmerited in the satires of the
former, or anything out of the ordinary
track of political writing in the latter,
Nasts pictures are at times terribly se-
we're, we admit; but they are directed
against notorious persons, and against
rascality in high places generally. Hon.
est men and parties can afford to laugh
at satires and caricatures upon them; it
is only when satire and caricature are
pointed with truth, that they become ter.
rible.

To the Editor Of the Columbia Is. CO.
On last Thursday night, May 4, large
band of masked men, estimated at from
forty to fifty persons, visited the plants-
ton of Rev DR.. Jones. in Glen Springs
Township, Spartanburg County. They
assaulted the door of Wallace Fowler, a
man of unbemished reputation and much
moral worth. He asked them not to
break down the door, that he would open
it. He did so; they at once seized him,
dragged him few feet from the door,
and shot him. Not satisfied with inflict-
ing mortal wound, they went into the
house and took u shovel of hot Goals and
put them upon his breast They threa,s
ened his aged wife with instant death if
she made an alarm or come out of the
house. He never spoke so far as his
wife knew, but lived until about 5 O. clock
on Friday, tortured by burning Goals,
until they expired. He was about Is
years Of age. His remains were kept
until Saturday afternoon but no Coroner
or Trial Justice appeared to hold an in.

men were whipped on the Air Line Rail

Since last October, no week has passed
during which some outrage of the kind
has not been pepetrated in this county,
and yet, according to the Democrat pa
per there all has been peacible. The
protein. editor of the Spsrtanburg Re-
p"btican a few weeks since, spoke of
this county as remarkable for quiet The
shooting of thirty or forty persons, and
whipping of hundreds, does not disturb
