TIE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS on THE Down
GRADE.--The Springfield (Mass) Le-
publican, (Rad.) adds its kicks to
that oi Greeley against the,carpet-
baggers. There is pith, point and
sense in what it has to. say: :They
1.-THE arret-baggers] are doing more
harm to the country to-day than the
locust or caterpillar, or any other
kindred pest. they are teaching the
less intelligent and discriminating
Southerners to despise and haze the
Northern people more heartily than
ever; they are debauchiug the freed
men they are bringing disgrace upon
the great Republican party and upon
the National Government. That their
rapacity is Unsuitable, and that they
steal every penny they can lay their
hands on, are comparatively trivial
countsin the indictment against them.
Yet this constant plundering isa ae-
rious matter to the communities which
are plundered. 1t means increased
indebtedness and heavier taxation.
1t is just such rascality that is ma
king the name of Republican a stencil
in the Southern States, and bringing
suspicion and enmity upon honest
immigrants. And matters will not
mend much so long as needy and
greedy adventures are appointed to
responsible Federal Offices, and fel-
lowshiped by Northern Republicans
ON the floor of Congress. ie

-KuKlux eutrages and Nesre MebS
..al = gi:in. the South.

The very virtuons radicals Of the
Congressional Committee who are
pretending to investigate the alleged
/ Ku Klux outrages in the South, are
ready, it appears to report.a stupen,
dous budget of horrors. They are
already issuing semi-odicial state
ments toithat effect. True, they have
not had1much time to investigate the
matter ;lhut party and political ne
cessity urges an early, thrilling re-,
port against those villanous. iincura-
bic white "secesh" Of the South and.
in favor Of the poor negroes. This
is evident from the hasty action Of
the republican party in Washington,
which has already put in circulation.
a campaign document, which is 9 di-
gest Of the pretended facts brought
to light by the Congressional Inves-
tigating Gommittee, and has request
ed the republican newspapers to serve
their cause BY publishing the docu-
ment in full. We see, then, what q
farce, and, at the. same time, what a
gross imposition upon the country,
this radical Ku Klux report of the
Congressional Committee is likely to
be. But is it not playing with hre2
Is not such a one-sided inhammatory
report made for party purposes calcu-
lated to do much harm? +? Will it not
make the negroes, who are already in
the ascendant in some parts Of the
South, and who are committing most
diabolical acts, more presumptuous
and disorderly? who has not heard
Of the atrocities of d band Of negroes
in Chatham county and adjoining
counties, in North Carolina? And
yesterday we reported fearful, |
bloody aud drunken riot by body
of fye thousand blacks at the Repub-
lican Convention In Goldsboro, in the
same State. OF course these horrors
will scarcely be noticed ey any radi-
cal Congressional committee, because
they are perpetrated by the "poor
negroes"-by the allies and support
ers of tAe, radical party. 1t is. the
pretended white Ku Klux that Is
made the bugbear to alarm Northern
voters and to give the administration
a chance to exercise a.. military des-
potism in the South. The radical
carpet-bag and acalawag public men
and among them was a Congress,
man by the name of Thomas-and
Stanley; the President of a railroad,
seem to have been the abettors OF the
riotous acts at Goldsboro. Wellmay we

Shooting Affair.

We learn from a passenger on the
Greenville train, that shooting af-
fair occurred on Monday night, about
9 o'clock, at camp meeting, which
was being held about two miles from
Greenwood, by which a colored man
was severely wounded-heipg shot
through the feshly part o; both
thighs. The circumstances OF the
case, as reported to us, are asfollows;
A camp meeting of colored people
began at the above place ON last Fri
day, and had been continued Up to
the night of the shooting. Monday
night, two men rode up to within a
short distance Of the congregation,
when colored man, who seemed to
be acting as a kind of guard to the
road, hailed them with "Who are
you 7" The mounted men replied
with the same question. when the
colored man again asked, Who are
you2" The party on horseback,
evidently thinking that their pas
sage was to be interrupted, fired
upon their interrogator, woundlng
him in the thigh; whereupon, the
colored man attempted to run, when
he was fired upon the second time,
and wounded in the oth"r thigh.
Some twelve or fourteen ahots were
fred, but with no other damage,
nearly all the balls passing high
over the heads of the congregation.
A spent ball struck a. woman on the
neck, but did not hurt her. Our in
formlant says that the parties who ,.l did d
the shooting were not disguised, and
that it was evident, from the effect Of
the shots, that they did not intend to
kill any one, but merely to frighten
the man who had questioned their
passage. ;. They rode off in the direc-
ton Of Cokesbury. Great.exoitament
prevailed at Greenwood for 9 short
time, on account of the affair, but it
was believed that itwoud quiet. down
as soon as the matter. was properly
understood. -Itwas no Ku- Klu1 raid.

Although its men of high renown
Be numbered with the dead.
Well grieye not O. er what earth has lost !;

All that Is good and true;

And time rolls ever by; Il
And the wrong Is ever rooted up,

PaospER1rY.-We are always glad
to see among cur citizens the fruits
of honesty, intelligence and enter
prise. Last week we quoted from the
Georgetown Times the information
that Representative Bowley, Of that
place, is building a splendid dwell
ipg, which will be an ornament to
the town. We are glad to be able to
chronicle a corresponding instance OF
growing prosperity in our midst.
Our highly esteemed colored fellow
citizen, Senator Hayne, has purchas-
ed the Wayne plantation at this
place, and is building upon it an ele-
caat mansion, with marble mantle,
piieces, &c., &c. Mr.. Haynes admi-
rable talents are evineed not only in
the fact of his prosperity, but in the
rapidity with which he. acquired it.
he came here after the close Of the
war very p:or man, and for good
long time was occupied as the teach
er Of a negro school in the woods be-
yond Catfish swamp. But turning
his attention to politics, he has ID the
space Of about three years got upon
the righ road to wealth and fame.

sudden violent effort, he flung the
bed-clothee of, and sprung from the
bed upon the floor. For an instant
he stood there swaying to and fro,
and then sank into his brothers arms
in 9 swopn, and was gently replaced
on a bed, stilltunconscions.
When he re-opened his eyes two
hours afterwards, his fever and deli
rum had left him, his gaze was clear
and strangely softened, but his pulse
was very feeble, and his voice had
gone from him forever. Looking
earnestly into the face Of his brother
and sister, signed fesbly to them to
come nearer. They bent over him,
and he tried to whisper something,
but in vain; they heard nothing but
low rattle. he then made other
faint signs, and they understood
him, and brought paper and pencil.
With the greatest difficulty; and after
many vain efforts. he at length
scrawled the following words in an
indistinct and wandering hand:
Y "Forgive-prsy for--rae-the will
all for Lizaiea--prayl" ''i'g =,
AS they deciphered it the eyes of
the dying man grew prematurely
bright, with look Of entreaty that
was terrible. They saw it, and
bending over him. took each one of
his hands, aud together said, 1--WE
forgive, even as we pray Heaven TO-
forgive. Then kneeling down, they
prayed earnestly for the soul of the
parricide, and rising in q little while,
saw that the soul was already before
its Final Judge.
The will was never found, but
what matter of it? Were not ttwo,
loving hearts reunited, never more
to part? And besides, was not Cap
tain Lester Henshard the eldest and
only surviving son of the late miser?
and did not the wealth of right be-
long to him and his? He took it,
then; and is making a noble use of it.
Drake was tried for manslaughter,
and acquitted. He is now working
out a new and better life among the
grassy plains of California-for, read
.er. this is o true story.

An Episode at Leng Branch.

A correspondent, writing from
Long Branch, says. The wife Of a
gentleman at our hotel tells good
story at her husbands 3 expense. It is
we'll understood that they did not
live pleasantly together, blt evidence
of this is rarely seen in PUBLIC, The
other evening, when taking their 'usu-
al driye-they are both high-spirited
and hard to curb, and when their
tempers are aroused there is no con-
trolling them-one word brought on
another, when the husband said: ::
!" You will drive me mad
II should call that admirable driv-
ing" retorted the wife.
"By-! exclaimed the husband,
"if you say another word will drive
down into thesea." They were then
near one of the roads, in the vicinity
of Gen. Grants cottage, that leads
down to the Beach.
Another word !" screamed the
lady. Drive where son please, = she
added, :" into the sea. can 60 as
deep as you dare to go, any day.
he became furious, took her at her
word, and drove the horses and vehi-
Gle into the ocean. They began to
swim. He held in, looked into her
face, and she laughed in his.
"Why do you stop?" she demand
ed exultingly, exhibiting not the
slightest alarm.
SYou are a devil u he exclaimed,
turning the horses about, making for
the shore with all expedition.
"Pooh ! pooh!" laughed the tor
mentor. Learn from this that there
is no place where you dare to go
where dare not accompany you.
Even to --?"
1.-the only exc ption," she answer
ed, with a chuckle. "There, my
dear, I leave you.
She had conquered. The pair re-
turned to the house, and the only
evidence of anything extraordinary
having occurred was the appearance
of the poor horses. The lady repeat
ed tho story to one or two female
friends, and, Of course, such things
are too good to keep.
