Among fhs evidences recently gwen
before the Congressional CoTlIll:l.Se e1Ill-.. On

wrFE's SAD STORY.
Lucinda Morrow. simple colored To-
man, testified.
1ight- with DISCUSSES on, twenty-five or
thirty in number. They fired three 6uI-
lets through the house. They theA
knocked the door down and came IN.
They seized my husband ana put
rope around his neck and took Inn out
- f5oors Liciged him about awhile. Be
fore theV went out Of doors with him he
eaid y, fheu7. For the Lords S sake, let
ne tell my children goodbye - One Of
them said "--you. We tel you
goodbye, and they snatched him back.
Then he said: f'For the Lords sake let
me tell the baby good -byel'' and I
reached the baby over toward him. and
he told him goodbye. The children
were all screaming and hallaoing. /
said 10 the men, "Oh, gentlemen, oh,
ge men" please spare my husband
this timel" They said, Oh.--
You, wen spare him" Said /, "Oh.
gentlemenl are you going to kill my
husband7" One OF them said, "Oh,
-you. you'll see him again.
They got him out OF the door, and after
they got him out they kicked him and
put him over the fence and carried him
OIL. We were all out IN the yard,
screaming and hallaoing After they
got down apiece, / heard one Of them
say '.Go back and kill every
one Of them. We went and got our
clothes and pallet for our little baby,
and went cut into the field and stayed
all night. The next morning we found
my husbands body hanging to a tree
By the roadside about half mile away,
and my brothers body lay BY the side
Of il. They were dead.
The following IS a special Washing
ton dispatch 70 the 1SI6zNe.
Prominent Republicans who have
arrived here within day or two from
South Carolina, and letters received
here from the capitol Of that State to-
day, repcgt that Gov. Scott. At the ad.
vice Of many Leading men Of both par
ties held q conference last Tuesday with
representative Democrats, from about
Is counties of the State for the purpose
Of consulting as TO the best means OF
restoring order. The only Republicans
present were the Governor, Attorney
General Chamberlain, and l.. G. Car
penter, editor Of the Columbia Daf2J
Lszios. Many very fair speeches were
made by the Democrats present, and
the only complaint which they made
was Of the insolence Of the colored
militia. This was admitted, to some
extent, and means viii be taken to rem
edy the evil. General Kershaw, how
ever, made a very bitter speech, IN
which be announced that IN his opinion,
and thar Of many of his friends, the only
way to restore peace and prevent what
the Governor termed outrages. but which
he (Kershaw) regarded as but the Just
indignation Of a plundered people; was
for the scoundrelly carpet-baggers from
the North and the rascally scallawags
of the South to resign the Offices they
had usurped. and leave those States in
the hands Of Southern gentlemen.

out the stitches and sew the coat mp again, for
no one supposed for minute that either spirit
or mortal could remove the coat In that condi-
ton, light was struck, and the medium was
discovered in his shirt sleeves, with his chair
tipped back. and the coat in the midst of the
audience, whittier IL had been thrown by invisible
hands Qnvisible by reason of the darkness).
The light was again put down aud another
hymn suhg this time the camp meeting refrain
Just now" with the final chorus, "Holler-lu-
jeh, just now" and though the singing, which
by request was joined in by all the congrega-
tion,. was enough to frighten away any spirit,
yet the medium was found, when the darkness
was again dispeled, sitting calmly, clothed and
in bis right mind.
The committeeman were then called up to
examine the stitches. No. gave his decision
promptly. 'T find these stitches the same aud
in the same condition ss when they we're first
put in" But No. 2 differed. He swore that
the stitches were not the same and tried to con-
vince the exhibitor of tue fact, but in vain.
Pending the discussion the light was extiu-
guisbed suddenly. and the spirit asked If he
could do anything more tonight" An en-
phatic negative was the reply, and the audience
and spirit were dismissed, the latter with the
special and emphatic Injunction to send only
the Colonel in future, under penalty of for
fei ure of his engagement. So the audience
was dismissed. It must not be forgotten that
the spirit was not only incompetent on this oc-
casion, but positively insubordinate, having
refused point blank to do two of the perform
ances advertised, namely, the spirit lights and
the balancing of a chair on the head of the
medium.
Though the exhibition taken as whole was
a failure yet it must be allowed that in finan-
cial view that was far from being the case.
Where the running expenses include only the
keep of woman and young man, and the rent of
a very small hall with but little light, and for
unoccupied evenings only, an audience of only
