SHAMEFUL BREACH OF THE PEACE

the public peace, yesterday, between: 10

The parties to 1t were Trial Justice T.

reporter Of the NeWs Considering tile
number of shots exchanged, it is won
derful that no injury resulted to the an
tsgoniats, The circumstances OF the
case are these, as far ns we are able to
gather them:
Trinl Justice Afackey was standing
under the porch of the guard house,
when Alr. Whalcy wns on his way to get
bis usual morning report of the Mayors
Court. As he was crossing towards the
guard house, Mr.. Macl1ey confronted
him, and warmed him to defend himself.

volver loaded in five barrels, the other
being found empty, an6 firing at him
MIR. Whaley halted midway in the otreet
and quickly returned his fire, until his
five-barreled Colts revolver wns dis
charged. when he raised his weapon in
token of having exhausted his means OF
defence. Mr.. Mnckey's attention was
called to ths fact that he was firing on on
unarmed man, and he ceased, having ex-
ploded the FIVE barrels of the army re-.
volver and one loaded barrel OF nm extra
pistol, which he drew from his pocket
when his first gave ont. At this juno

Nlr. Humilton, OF the Pavilion Hotel,
who was passing up Meeting street at
tho tlme OF the encounter, said to our
reporter, last evening, that he heard the
first shot fred distinctly, and that the
bull came In close proximity to him,
chipping off piece of brick from tho
tire-proof building, which struck him on
the chin. Mr.. Mackey was firing in
that direction. We hive no other OBJ

"a Word TO tho WISE.

|
| s'A Word 10 tho WISE.
As our readers have no doubt observed
for themselves. the hope of our enemies
is that the arbitrary measures inaugu.
rated in certain parts OF South Carolina
may provoke the citizens to some mea.
sure Of resistance. This hope is in.
du'ged, to the end that an excuse may be
furnished for still further Tightening the
'coil of the empire around the South.
President Grants wants this excuse, and
they who in South Caroliua have secured
Federal Intervention and military law
for purposes of their own, nlso want this
excuse. AS to the South Carolina fac
ton, headed by a. s. Wallace, the utter
ance of Mr.. Hoge discloses their animus.
Their motto is. "Cry havoc! and let
slip the dogs Of war" upon this Suite,
or. ut least, upon certain parties thereof
In view Of this, as we have before said,
it is incumbent upon us to not circum-
specify, to take no untenab!e ground. to
keep ever-even technically right. We
arc certainly in a deplorable condition.
Whilst tho prospect is dark indeed we
Gee no occasion for nervous fears or uu-
mauly misgivings. We see no occasion
for inactivity or despondepcy. AS well
rs we may, lot US. with heads erect and
''level" aud spirits undau nte;l. pursue

business of the State be prosecuted to

called for neglect. We have this faith
before expressed these waves that
dave rolled over us must ore long recede
We have this faith, that what there ia
of Justice in our cause will surely tri-
nmph.
We feel that these words, addressed to
our fellow citizens, in sober earnestness
and deep sympathy, will be received in
the spirit wherewith We send them forth
on this Sabbath morning. The press,
thus far. is unshaclsled. It ought to

discreet, firm. just public sentiment to
encourage and build up. For one, as n
journalist of Carolina, we intend to
do what in US lies, to mitigate the blow
and 10 temper the great calamity that
has fallen upon our stricken State.
Whilst we have no apology to make for
Grimes committed, and no disposition to
shield those fairly proved to have vio-
lated the law, yet we do raise our voice
against the causeless measure which puts
large portion of the State under the
law of the bayonet and the sword Some
there are. We know, who cannot nppreci-
ate the deep feelings with which We re-.
fleet upon the oindiscriminatc arrests ard

behalf is agreeablo-it is sweet and

daughters. Let us now staud by her
broken altars, and even in our poverty
and weakness, pour upon them the rich
libations OF an ardent patriotism.

The Work or Disbursement

j . u ID 3 q
Hns begun ia New York. We observe
that civil suit has been Instituted
against Mr. Tweed and several othe7s
for several millions of dollars. The suit
IL brought upon the affidavit OF Samuel
J. Tilden. The exhibit and tabula,
statements are startling and make up q
strong prina facie case against ". Nj.
Tweed. The charge is. that he has de.
fraudsd the County of New York oi
large sums. The blood-hounds of the
law ara upon the trucks OF the Ne York
swindlers! We hope that the work will
begin in this State. Had we a Governor
of the Hoffman stamp. and State At.
torney-Ganeral like Champlain, of the
State Of New York. we would have IN
investigation ordered for Tomorrow.
The work for South Carolina cannot
begin too early. Already one O. P.
Leslie has left the Stnte and is investing
lurgely in New York. Who can tell how
soon his associates in crime and corrup-
tion may follow suit? We fear that
when the period rolls on for the ao-
conntability, which we expect to be ex-
acted of mango our State officials, they
will be found to have gone hence. carry
ing with them their ,'ill-gotten gains.
The inquisition should begin at once.
But "where is the once strong arm Of
South Carolina?" Echo answers ,chere3
Whilst truth replies: Weak, trembling
qangrened. Alasl for the cause of justice
and of South Carolina!

| CITT MEAL AND STATE. MEAL. The
Union asks, els there cat in the meal p
and wakes mp to the questions some
time since raised by us in respect to the
City3Hall and new market. OF course
there is ''a cat in the meal" We have
already showed it's head. it's eyes, and it's
tail. We have showed its tracks, and,
We think. made its "fur fly" OF course,
there is very big cat in the meal, and
we hope the Union may catch it. Better
is it for the Union to look after the oats
in our meal than to trouble itself too
much with the Tam many cats.
And. whilst at this business Of invcs-
tigation, we desire to put this question
categorioally: Is there not, Union, some
larger cats in the STATE meal? Do not
confine your attention to the municipal
cats. Tho genuine wild cats" are to
be fouud in the State House. and You
can help to catch them. Will you help2
Dare you?
Another point is this. and it shows to
the community that beautiful jewel of
consistency which is set in the Unioa's
head, and shines 80 bright. When the
committee of the Taxpayers Conven-
ton, headed by Mr.. E. J. Scott, asked
OF Treasurer Parker an examination of
his books in the public behalf, the
Union, we remember. warmly sustained
Treasurer Parker in his refusal to per-
nit the examination asked for. It sns.
tanned this corrupt official fully. Now,
it says that statement is due to the
public from the Mayor and Council, and
adds: "No man holding a public Office
has tho right to stand upon his dignity,
and refuse to give Information which the
public have right to know" Now. this
is sound doctrine: but how, o. Union,
how does the stand you take, now, com
paro with your defence of Parker's i'm
pudent clnim2
