charged the jury that the evidence
convicted the prisoner of being pos
sesSed of seven devils, and Of being
a sorcerer, witch, felon and murder
er, with other grievous charges. She
was convicted. The last execution
for witchery in Great Britain was
that of an insane old woman in 1922.
The last execution in Germany was
in 1749, and the last in Switzerland
in 1880. 1t is estimated that between
one and two hundred thousand per-
sons persisted on the continent Of
Europe, on the charge of witchcraft,
between the beginning and the close
of the persecution. Over one hum
dred thousand are credited to Ger
many alone. The whole number of
those put to death in Great Britain
is estimated at thirty thousand. The
credit of abating the terrible mania
III England is due to Chief Justice
Sir John Holt, who, from 1894 to
l70l, charged the juries to acquit.
Yet, in l7l6, poor white woman
and her daughter, aged nine years,
were executed at Huntingdon, for
pulling off their shoes and stockings,
and raising storm at sea, by max
ing lather of soap.
An anecdote of Lord Chief Justice
Holt is as follows: A poor old wo-
man was arraigned for witchcraft.-
The witness deposed that she used
"spell." The "spell-produced in
line from one of the
classic poets, written on parchment.
The justice demanded to see it, and
it was handed to him. elbow came
you by this ?" he asked the prisoner.
"a young gentleman, my lord. gave
it to me to cure my daughters ague."
did it cure her ~ ooh, yes, my
lord, and many others" Il am glad
of it." said the justice. Gentlemen
of the jury, when | was young and
thoughtless, | went to this woman's
house with some companions, had
no money to pay the reckoning, and
pretended that by "speli'' I could
cure her daughters ague. She ac-
cepted the proposition and let US off
scott free. If any one is punishable
it is the Lord Chief Justice, and not
this poor woman" OF course she
was acquitted, out the credulous
multitude affirmed that judge and
jury were all bribed.

MONEY.

Money is queer institution. 1t
buys provender, satisfies justice, and
heals wounded honor. Everything
resolves itself into cash, from stock
! jobbing to building churches
Childhood Graves pennies, youth as
pires to dimes, manhood is swayed
by the mighty dollar. The black
smith swings his sledge, the lawyer
pleads for his client, and judge de.
cides the question Of life and death
for his salary. Money makes the
man, therefore the man must make
money if he would be respected by
fools for the eye Of the world looks
through golden sbectacles. 1t buys
the Brussels carpet, lace curtains;
gilded cornices and rich furniture,
and builds marble mansions. Il
drives us to church in grand rigs,
and pays the rent of the best pew
1t commands the respect of gaping
crowds, and secures obsequious at
tention. 1t enables US to be charit-
able, to send Bibles to the heather
and relieves domestic indulgence. 1t
gildes the rugged scenes of life, and
spreads over the rugged path of
existence a velvet carpet soft to our
tread; the rude scenes of turmoil
are incased in a guilt frame. 1t bids
care vanish; sooths the anguish of
the bed of sickness, stops short OF
nothing save grim destroyer, whose
relentless hands spares none, but
levels all moral distinctions, and
teaches poor humanity that it is but
dust. Thus wealth pauses on the
brink of eternity, and the beggar
and the millionaire rest side by side
beneath the sod, to rise in equality
to answer the final summons.

LEAVING HoME.-The generation
that is now rising to industrial pur-
suits in the rural districts Of the
United States, ought to be impress
cd with the idea that they cannot
better their condition by fastening
away from their homes, and trying
their fortunes in a great town. In
nine cases out of ten, as proved by
actual statistics, they are better Oh
as they are now, independence,
knowledge, culture, character, the
good opinion of others are all as ca
SLY acquired in the country as in a
majority of instances. is wealth, that
attainment which is priced above
all others. How many who have
made the change have regretted it
all their lives, and their children af-
ter them! There is nothing in our
social condition more to be deplored
than the haste to get rich that has
taken such hold of American peo-
pie, and now prompts this fondness
for cities. 1t has been wonderfully
stimulated by our inflated currency,
and it can now be controlled only by
moral agencies of the most etfectual
kind. There are many things more
desirable and respectable than
wealth.

Old Mr.. Vincent, who by all &C.

Judge Gene, who was considered
dangerously sick, and commenced
talking to him about his eternal in-
terests. "Well, Mr.. Vincent" said
the judge, rather FESTIVE, "these
are things that 1 don't know much
about, and I suppose that you don't
know any more about them than |
do" The old man took his leave
and was afterwards questioned as to
his success in awakening the Judge
to serious thoughts. "Ah," was the
answer, che amt sick enough get"

Riot and BlOodshed.

On Monday evening, between 9
and 10 o'clock, we were star led by
hearing the discharge Of firearms, as
if a skirmish was going on in Main
street, near the court house. Upon
proceeding to the spot, we learned
that aaparty of the United States
soldiers, stationed here, had opened
fire upon a crowd at the corner Of
Main and Liberty streets, and that
two negroes were wounded, one in
the arm and one in the thigh. We
saw both the wounded. The first
had a severe flesh wound in the fore
arm, which he received as he was
proceeding toward the place of con-
fict, some 100 yards distant. The
other, a quiet lad, received a ball in
the thigh, the result Of which may
yet prove fatal. The next day a
third negro was brought into town
with a flesh wound in the head, who
said that he had received the wound
from the firing of the soldiers the
night before, and that he had fed in
to the country. We learn also that
one Of the soldiers was. wounded by
a pistol shot in the leg. This, we
hear, was the first shot fired. An
investigation will be made, and the
truth, whatever it be, will, doubtless,
be ascertained. Some i'll feeding, it
appears, had existed between some Of
the soldiers and some negroes.
When we arrived upon the scene
of action, we found the acting Inten-
dant, Capt. G. Richardson, already
there, eadeavoring to allay the ex-
citement and to prevent further
bloodshed. Capt. Lloyed, commander
of the post, with detachment OF
his men, was also soon upon the spot.
We hear that threats had been made
before night against the soldiers.
But whatever may have caused the
riot, we trust that the investigation
to be held will bring it out-Sumter

CADET SMITH AGAIN IN Hot WA
TER.-The Washington correspon-
dent of the Baltimore Sun writes
as follows to that journal under date
of,the 22d instant:
The trouble is not entirely over
with the celebrated negro cadet Smith
yet. It seems that when the second
cadet of his color, who was appoint
ed early in the present summer, was
sent to West Point, he was placed
under the charge Of Smith, who was
to initiate the new conner into the
mysteries of his sposition. Charges are
now brought against Smith to the eff
feet that he is hard, tyrannical and
oyerbearing, and that he treats bis
protege with "a genuine savage cru
city" In several instances the Off
GERS of the institution have been
obliged to reprimand Smith for his
inexcusable conduct. The new me-
gre cadet is said to be very popular
with his white associates, end to be
extremely afable in his address.

FATAL ArFRAys.-An affay oc-
Cured four miles from Old Efingham,
in this County on Tuesday, the 18th
instant. which resulted in the death
of one Caroliaa Cusack, colored, at the
hands of Richard Osborn, colored.
Alexander Dewitt, colored, and
Vim. Warren, white, both living close
to the Chesterfield line, in this Coun-
ty, had little difficulty about one
month ago. during the same day the
dispute was settled and they became
friendly. In the afternoon, the ne
gro, Dewitt, invited Mr.. Warren in
his field to get fine watermelon.
While Mr.. Warren was in STOPPING
posture examining watermelon, the
treacherous villain dealt him a blow
on his head, which crushed in his
skull. Three OF hi ribs were also
broken. Mr.. W. was afterwards car
ried home, where he survived these
severe injuries three weeks, suffering
intensely. He died about one week
since. As yet Dewitt has not been
captured.-Darlington Index.

Another, Ku-KIux Scarce.
Especial Dispatch to the Char, News.
-. ORANGEBURG, August %.

/ 80 -.
A party of mounted men, various
ly estimated in numbers at from fifty
to one hundred, entered this town a
little after midnight yesterday morn
ing, and, after posting notices on the
postoffce in the lower part of the
town,.near the hotel, upon one of the
Office doors of the buildings allotted
to the officers of the court, and upon
a telegraph post near the railroad
avenue, withdrew quietly and SO
mysteriously that no one is able to
give any clue to their route.
The notices purport to emanate
from the headquarters of the Ku
Klux-Klan,. and contain warnings to
such as are engaged in buying seed
cotton "a practlce that is carried on
to a shameful extent, and which en-
courages unlimited thefts in the cot
ton fields and hints to the carpet
baggers and scalawage, who are STIR
rirg up strife between the races, to
desist under penalty Of being visited
with summary punishment. The
orders conclude with a friendly call
to the colored people to unite with
them as the friends of order and
good government, to root out the
enemies of both white and colored
men. On the whole, the document
was aimed at fragrant abuses, and
was full Of peaceful assurances, espe-I
cially to industrious and honest ne
groes. The movements Of the party
were quietly conducted with the
signal Of the whistle, and since their
departure not vestige of infor-
nation is known Of them. and not a
single threat or. act of violence has
been reported of them.

From the Missouri Republican,
C0rrnpti0n at Washington.

The Radical party is in bad luck
lately. Not long ago it blew its own
trumpet in special blast, announ-
cling to an appreciative public that it
was the party Of intelligence, morali-
ty and honesty. Ithad scarcely done
so before New York Tribune cor
respondent blurted out that it had
had placed the government of South
Carolina in the hands of semi-barba-
rians, Mr.. Greedy denounced its
Southern carpet-baggers as gangof
thieves, and It's President for politi-
cal reasons pardoned a convicted
bigamist. Its claim to honesty seems
10 be sharing the fate of the rest OF
it's pretensions. In the midst Of the
clamor it is making about the mil
lions alleged to nave been stolen by
the local Democratic officials in the
city Of New York, its Secretary of
the Treasury is accused of conniving
at an exorbitant contract for stamp
paper, so little fitted for the purpose
that il has facilitated frauds upon the
revenue to the amount of four Or FIVE
millions annually. -
Corruption in the city of New
York is, at the worst, matter affect
ing only the million Of people who
live there. Were all the charges
against its local government fully
established, they would only show
that the voters Of single city did
not know how to provide themselves
with an honest administration. The
other thirty-eight millions of people
in the Union are neither responsible
for the local governmental that city
nor able to reform it. But they, and
the million in New York: also, are
interested in the honest and economi-
cal administration of the Treasury
Department at Washington, and
when the fountain-head is poisoned,
the whole stream of national admin
lstratlon running from 1T Is tainted.
1t is significant also that while the
personal difference between Mr.. Bout
well1and Gen. .Pleasonton arose out
of the contract for stamp paper, the
main reason semi-oficially given for
the removal Of the latter from Office
is thatin Interpreting doubtful clauses
of therevenue laws, he decided against
aplethoric treasury and in favor Of
the over-burdened taxpayer. ARadi-
cal official may do many things; but
two seem to be forbidden him-stop-
ping stealing from the Treasury by
contractors, or stopping official robbie
ry of Taxpayers ito raise the money
for contractors to steal.
