A Washington letter of Tuesday to the Bal.
timore Sun says: .,lq 80, a. !,
The second bigamy case of &C. Bowen was
tried to-day before Judge 'Olin," holding the
Criminal Court. A jury was promptly OBJ
Merrick, A. G.. Riddle and Judge Moore, of
this district, appeared for Bowen, and Judge
Fisher and Mr.. Harrington for the United
States. The prosecution proved Bowen's mar
riage to Miss Frances Hicks, in October, 1852,
OF Augusta, Ca, and that she was living when
he married In August, 1870, in Washington.
Mrs. Hicks-Bowen was present, and was
identified by one OF the Witnesses as the per-
SON Bowen had married. She is q shsrp.fea-
tured lady, was dressed in gray, and wore
glasses. Some of the witnesses had not seen
Bowen for fifteen years, but identified him..
Among the witnesses were the brother
of Mrs. Hicks-Bowen, her aunt, the ordi-
nary of Richmond County, Ga. who pro-
duced his documents, &c. The defence inn
Bowen nee Hicks. obtained in New York. The
prosecution offered to show that at the date
of that divorce Bowen. was In the Confederate
army or in prison, and exhibited q divorce
gotten by him from Mrs. Hicks Bowen, In
New Haven. Connecticut, two weeks after MS
last marriage. They also commended that un-
der recent decisions OF the Supreme Court 9

Gliding this question the court adjourned unit!

the defendant was not a citizen OF New York,
and ran away from this woman when the war
was going on and obtained the decree, that
the publication was void. BE wished TO be
satisfied on the points whether such pubica-
ton was void. and whether or not there was
fraud. A nolle pros. was entered In the Parks
Bowen case, which has been once tried.
[By Telegraph
WASHINGTON, Thursday, June /.
In the Bowen case, to-day, Judge DIN de.
cided that the New YORK record could be at
tackled, first, for fraud, second, for want of
Jurisdiction. David N. Cooper, an expert,
swore there were erasures under Chris. c. and
Frances, and 8. B. Cushing, the witness, found
several other erasures, but no attempt to con-
ceal. Arson Herriek produced files Of his
paper, but found no such advertisement as q
notice of C. G. Bowen to Frances Bowen. The
referee of the court swore no such case had
been referred to him in 1855, nor was there
any such case on Judge Barrett's docket.

SOUTH CAROLINA,
Amodexate TrIbune Special.

NEW YORK, March 21-The following
IN special Washington dispatch to the
Tribune: romiDent Republicans arrived
within a day or two from South Carolina,
and letters received here from the capital
of that State to-day, report that Gov.
Scott at the advice of many leading men
of both parties, held conference last
Tuesday with representative Democrats,
from about twenty-five counties of the
State, for the purpose of consulting as to
the best means of restoring order. The only
Republicans present were Attorney
General Chamberlain and L. G. CaTpen-
ter, editor of the Columbia Daily Union.
Many very fair speeches were made by
the Democrats present. The only COM
plant which they made was the insolence
of the colored militia. This was admit
ted to come extent and means will be ia
ken to remedy the evil. Gen. Kersbaw,
however, made q very bitter speech, in
which he announced that, in his opinion,
ard that of many Of his friends,
the only way to restore peace, and pre-
vent, what the Governor termed Outrages,
but which he (Kershrw) regarded as but
the just indignation of a plundered
people, was for the scoundrel-
ly carpet-baggers from the North
and Athe rsscslly scallawags of the
South to resign the offices they had
usurped and leave those States in the
hands of Southern gentlemen. The day
after this conference, a notice was posted
on the bulletin board of the courthouse in
Union county, warning the Sheriff,
County Commissioners and School Com.
missioners to resign at once, threatening
severe penalties if they failed to obey.
Feeling their lives were in danger, they
have all resigned, and the county is with
out officers. Dispatches announcing other
outrages are received. The latest news
from the capital of South Carolina is that
Gov. Scott, State Treasurer Parker and
Comptroller Gen. Nesgle, received notices
from the Ku Klux Friday to quit The
State. Attorney General Chamberlain, of
South Carolina, will meet the President
Tomorrow ard ask that troops be sent to
the State.

CARNIVAL OF BLOOD.
stirring Times in Benton County

From parties resident in Camden, Ben
ton county, and others who are just from
that section, we learn that there has pre-
vailed quite stirring time, not unmixed
with shooting, cutting, slashing, etc, gen.
orally, resulting IN considerable blOodshed
and the severe wOupding Of several parties.
1t appears that there prevails ii that Sec
ton old tends and grudges that have to a
greater or a lesser extent afflicted most
neighbo1hoods since the war, each party
of the malcontents having their friends and
adherents. During the latter part Of last
week, two quite animated sllirmishas oc-
Cured in the county, not far from Camden.
In the first place a melee eroee between a
Mr.. Rushing and man named Collins in
which the former shot the latter, infiicting
a severe and painful wodGd Afterward
he shot at another Inan named Davis. In
the latter instance, Davis had a wooden
leg, which the murjerous ball shattered
into splinters, leaving the poor man with
out his artificial means of pedal locomo5
ton.
Collins is very badly wounded, and his
recovery is considered extremely doubtful.
Rushings, the man who did the shooting,
escaped without being arrested.
About the same time two young men
named Bowles and Arnold went INTO Cam
den and engaged in a general row. The
day after, on the 18th, two OF the Messrs.
Bowles met the father Of Hancey Arnold
in a store, and general skirmish ensued.
Arnold was struck with scale weight on
the head and on the left arm with on axe
handle, both blows infictingsevere bruises
and Commissions. Arnold in turn opened
fire upon the aggressors and shot one Ct
them through the thigh, the ball tearing
the flesh to the bone, leaving very ugly
wound. The other Bowles seized a double
barreled shot gun ard fired at Arnold with
out effect. The latter retreated across the
street, and for the time the conflict ended.
The greatest excitement prevails, and it is
apparent that the feud wall lot I've settled
until three or four persons are killed.
As if to add to the exciting Interest Of
the week, United States Msrshsl arrived
in Camden from Memphis with squad OF
soldiers to arrest John Farmer and Lewis
Lashler and others on writ of quo soGr-
rGatO, issued under the provisions of the
Fourteenth Amendment. After diligent
search, inquiry, ETC., instituted by The
Marshal and his squad, they failed to make
any arrests, and the soldiers returned to
Memphis, leaving the Marshal with his
writ to prosecute the object of his mission.
So all things considered, the last week has
been quite an exciting and turbulent one
in the iowa Of Camden, aid among the
good people of Benton County, aid we
shall await further developments from thai
region with more thsn an ordinary degree
of interest.
