: Inquest

On Sunday last, Trial Justice suther-
land held an inquest upon the body of
on oldecolored woman, From the
evidence it appeared that the old
woman went to church on Sunday
week, below Camden, about four or
five miles, ON Boykin's place; that shs
was not again heard Of until Friday,
when eolored man by the name of
George Peary:told some:of her friends
that hehad heard: some one groan
ing in aa,,old coal-pit by; the side Of
the road leading from the church to
the Deas place, and upon approaching
the spot found the old woman in the pit,
unablsto get out. The savage did not
attempt 10 help her. out bnt left her
there, and went about his business :
that On Friday, they went to this

The CoMTNe CITY.-The town .oi
Manning, our readers need know, is the
county seatof Clarendon; and is situated
near the swamps that form the hea9wa:
ters Of Black River. Il has about
thirty houses in it, aud hopes soon to
have Court House and jail. Manning
is an enterprisins place, and has
vaulting ambition to eclipse Charleston
and Columbia, ara the other cities OF
ihe State. 1t has a county paper--the
Clarendon Pess-which is out in its
last issue in leading article in which
its contemporaries are informed, "that
whilst we admit that theft respective
cities are retWhales, yet, that Manning
is mo sardine.'
It's readers are further informed
that 'the womb of time will eliminate
the fact that our little city, now quietly
nesting on the banks iof Black River,
where the tDabinda, the bull>frog sobs
and sinksabeneaththe surface, will one
day be the proud rival Of such mighty
cities of Columbia, Charleston and
Sumter"
Then asks this enterprisiug editor:-
"W.here will ye be ip that day when
the sails of the merchant ships shall flap
idly along the wharves at Charleston,
when Sprague's Canal shall be like
the road to Heaven, with only there a
traveller, and our little friend Sumter
shall not have enough commerce to
frighten the catfish from the quiet wa
ters Of Turkey Creek, while our vessels
press under a full head of canvass up
the noble Black River to discharge their
rich Merchandise at the docks of the
coming city. 'When VIC think Of what
has ALREADY been accomplished in that
direction, and Of what will yet be accom-
plishcdI we can't help exclaiming, there
are more things in heaven and earth,
Horatio, than we're ever dreamed of in
your philosophy" !"
In view of the coming change in
the prospects Of the "Comiug City, we
respectfully suggest to our countrymen
in that phoe. tho necessity of taking
immediate steps to provide for the "Da>
binda, tha bull frogs" that now furnish
tAssrtown husic. For frogs, you know,
cannot stahd ships and commerce, md
''such." let a committee be appointed
at once tosetire the frogs.

The Greenville Mountaineer is of
opinion that the State taxes for the pres
ent year can never be paid. Many
have not paid for last year, and cannot
do it. 1t says: awe have seen deli
cate women and decrepit old men sell
ing the provisions which were absolutely
needed to keep their children from
"starvation, in order to obtain money to
pay their taxes, whilst others were 60
ing from friend to friend to borrow
money" And we doubt whether
Greenville is in worse plight than the
rest of the State.

Judge Bowling, of New York, has

Observation-Disclosures called the "saw-

has fourished SO long in New York
that citizens began to doubt whether
they ever would be suppressed, and it

Another Tax.

The Sheriff of our County has re-
ceived a judgment against'the County
for nearly sl45O,oo, amount due him
for services rendered. We understand
that he will press his judgment as
soon as possible, and sell the. Court
house, Jail and poelhOuse, to satisfy it.
If he does SO, then the County will
be taxed for the amount necessary to
redeem the property sold. So much
for the splendid financial management
of the County affairs.

hosts of tax gatherers and incompetent
officials /?

white men, Whp seek 10 pefpsF Fuaiej their
power BY fomenting discefd ,btween
the races. Under these corrpuainz ir-
fueueos, the negroes, in mani places,
have become siole1t, Threatening and
dangerous. MWder, arson and pillage
have stalked through the lardalmost
unrebaked1 ofiustice, while every de-
fensiye, act 81 the white vicims, has
been magnifed into natiosal crime.
A,t these are facts known to Jou. That
in consequence, there should be q dis
turbed condition Of affairs 10 sume To-
calities, deplorable though ilbe, is not
to be admired. Let us rathcsbe thank
full that it has boen confied to the
counties of Laurens, Union, Spartan
burg, York and Chester. We will con-
slider these disturbances fora moment.
In Laurens and Chester, there were
collisions between the armed militia, or
national guards, (negroes andsthe
whites, in open daylight, theejrcumstan-
ces of which arc we'll known to you.
In the other counties disguised parties
have, from time to time, within the
last three months, administered Lynch
law in certain cases. Willie these oc-
curreuccs are greatly tobe deplorcd,
| and some of them merit and have re-
ceiyed almost universal condemnation;
the collisions in Eaurens ind Chester,
by far the most serious ofthem all, are
regarded by the best men who know
the facts, as necessary ind justifable
acts of self.deferce on the part Of tho
whites. It is very generally believed
that their prompt action prevented that
general war of races, Which thoughtful
men have regarded imminent for some
years past. e,
While these things hive occurred 10
the counties mentioned which areall now
auieted by the -.d;surasiag Of the militia
in other counties, profound peace has
prevailed. Here, for instance, We have
enjoyed an unbroken reign of quiet and
order. There was, at the last Court Of
Sessions, not one act of violence de-
manding Investigation, a circumstance
which elected the congratulations Of
the presiding Judge.
Here there has been no organized
and threatening demonstration OF ths
militia, who though armed, have not, ]
am informed, been furnished wltACbaN,
cartridges. On the other hand, | am
satisfied there has never been in this
county, any organization corresponding
in any way, to what is termed the "k!',
Klux~Klan," or any other unlawful
association. take it that the condf
ton of things exists in by far the larg
er portion of this State. But, likt
causes produce like results, and thers
fore, any demonstration on the part q
the negroes, and especially the armed
militia, which would render our people
! apprehensive of an attack, would very
probably induce organizations fol
defensive or preventive operations, and
possibly lead to similar disastrous con-
ficts as ensued at Lairens and Ches,

(Of the Prairie BELIEF

Wall, no l can't tell whar he lives,
Because he don't live, you see; I
Lea stways, he's got out of the habit
OF livin' like you and me.
Whar have you been for the last three year
That you haven't heard folks tell
How Jimmy Bludso passed in his checks,
The night of the Prairie Belle?
He weren't no saint-them engineers,
Is all pretty much alike
One wife in Nxtchez- under the-Hill
And another one here, in Pike,
A keerless man in his talk was jim.
And an awkward man in . row
But he never hunked, and he never lied,
reckon he never knowed bow.
And this was all the religion be had
To treat his engine well;
Never lie passed on the river;
To mind the pilots bell;
And if ever the Prairie Belle took fire
A3housand times he swore,
He hold her nozzle sgin the bank
ii the last soul got ashore.
All bosts has their day on the Mississip,
And her day come at last =
The Moyastar was better boat.
But the Belle she icouidnt be passed,
And SO she come tearin' along that night
The Oldest craft on the line,
W lth nigger squat on her saIety Valve
And her furnace crammed, resin and pine.
The fire burst out as she cleared the bar,
And burnt hole in the night,
And quick as fash she turned and made
For the willer-bank on the right,
There was running and cussing, but Jim yell
ed out
Over all the Internal roar,
srll hold her nozzle agin the bank
Till the last galoot's ashore"
Through the hot, black breath of the burning
boat
Jim Bludso's voice was heard,
And they had trust in his cussedness,
And knowed he would keep his word.
And, sure's you're born, they all got on
Afore the smokestacks fell
And Bludso's ghost went up alone
In tho smoke of the Praire Belle.
He weren't no saint-bLt at judgment
I'd run my chance with Jim.
| 'Longside Of some pious gentlemen
That wouldn't shook hands with him.
He seen his duty, a dead sure thing
And went for it thar and then;
And Christ aint agoin' to be too hard
