the thieves had committed another and holder

discovered three negro men, one Q: whom

manded him to put it down, when ne struck
her a blow knocking her down, and then drew

The Disappointment of the Militia

UpholstcrknG Bill.
FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT

IRON OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT
COLUMBIA, April G.
Radical authorities announce the fact that
| the county treasurer of Abbeville has been
robbed OF $4,000 or sl2,O 600. The robbers
| opened the door of the Office and unlocked the
| safe. Who Is the county treasurer? And
who could have done the job in that style ?
| We have not forgotten the young-Rose job of
Yo-k County yet.
The negroes Of Columbia yesterday set their
hearts upon having a jubilation over the
fifteenth amendment. The militia companies
assembled at Neagle's Hall, all bedight in true
blues, their black plumes on hats cooked up at
the side, plush edgings, brass mountlngs and
soldier filings generally; and'were signing for
the hour of parade TO come, meaning to do The
imposing in prlde-pomp. and-circumstance
style, without regard to expense. But. alas
for the .brilliancy of those expectations and
buttons General Anderson, late 'major-gene-
raj commanding" now adjutant and inspector
general, sent in his veto. Ordered that there
be no parade. Merciless autocrat Not let
them parade? Not let them toot horns, faunt
banners, dangle swords and glitter their shiny
guns in the faces Of this community The
late ''major-genera commanding did not
think so; and he is boss. The parade must be
abandoned. 1t was. The rest of the show
could not be stopped. At night they danced
of thete indignation in Neagle's Hall; and
| dusky damsels did their possible to make
amends tor the rebuke that ebony Mars had
| received during the day.
1t is rumored that, in consequence Of this
militia order, the Governor will probably be
impeachea of high crimes and misdemeanors,
whenever the General Assembly gets together
again.
Mr.. Berry's bill for furnishing the tables,
chairs, desks, &C., for the Dennis Statehouse
outfit is about sl2,O 900. This, added to The
s45, 600 purchases In Brooklyn anal New York,
makes $4,000, more or less. There yet re-
| mains over s35. 600 not accounted for, and the
enormous prices charged in the Northern bills
are not to be forgotten. CoRsA1R.
