The most unparalleled outrage eve per
petrated or attempted upon 8 community
Is the appointment of Poss White postmas-
ter at this plnce. AS utterly incompetent,
mentally and morally, as q person could
be, bearing the worst character OF any
negro probably in the country, and GER
tainly the most disgusting specimen Of hui
manity ever inflicted upon any community,
this negro has received at the hands OF the
Post Office Department of the United States
the appointment of postmaster at one of
the most important country offices in this
State. To cap the climax, the penalty OF
the bond has been reduced from four thou
sand to fifteen hundred dollars, in order
that he might furnish a bond with security.
On this bond Joe Davis and Scotch
man Cobbs, birds Of the same feather,
have undertaken to enter as security,
and if sold out on the most favorable
cumbrances on their property, the proceeds
In the aggregate OF both Of these gentlemen
would hardly exceed $500, every dollar of
which is exempt from levy or distress by
the laws Of this Commonwealth. But Poss,
we learn, has as yet been unable to perfect
his bond. We doubt If he ever will do 30,
certainly not by giving good and legal secu-
rlty. Until this Is done, Mr.. Opossum will
not be commissioned, and when the bond
is given, as it possibly may be, it will be a
matter Of duty to haul such men as Joe Da-
Wis and Scotchman Cobbs before the grand
jury for perjury. We learn that this out
rage upon the community is due to
the wonderful influence Of u (God for
bid) Congressman elect, W. 81. H. Stowell,
who, having no other means wherewith to
pay the Opossum for his services in the late
canvass. secured him this appointment.
This is Mr. Stowe1Ps first effort in behalf of
his constituents. What next? Poss may
be commissioned postmaster, but we very
much doubt it. In the event he should be
so commissioned, it will be the duty Of
every man who is interested in mail matter
at this office to direct the same to be sent to
Danville or C~artersburg, and the citizens of
this community can well afford to employ q
special messenger to visit the Office designa-
ted, to mail letters and bring them their
mail. This will undoubtedly be done, cost
what it may. 1t is certain that this people
will never submit to Opossum Whites SER
vices as an officer of any kind.-Ch Chatham
Tribune.

ANOTHER BRUTAL MURDER Il SPARTAN
BuRG.-To the Editor of the Charleston Re-
publican: Sir,-Gn Thursday night last, at
about midnight, three armed assassins de-
manded admittance to the residence Of An
thony johnson, Esq, Trial Justice for Paco-
let township, Spartanburg county. Being
refused admittance, they broke open the
door and went In. They demanded a rope,
and his mother went out to look for one.
During the delay johnson ran out. Tho
assassins pursued and fired at him, and he
fell dead, pierced by several bullets. From
words heard by a ~neighbor during the pur-
suit, it is inferred that johnson recognized
his murderers. His wife and mother saw
them, but did not know them. No person
is able to assign any cause for this foul MUIR
der other than johnson was q Trial Justice
for tue county, and q contestant for a seat
ln the Legislature now held by one Of his
democratic opponents.
The facts above stated I have from one
of our Trial Justices, who held the inquest
over Johnson's body. Outside of Spartan
burg town there Is probably not one Re-
publican In the county who retires to rest
free from fear OF some brutal treatment be-
fore morning. Many of them have slept
out In the open air nearly every night since
the election. The Whippings and other
outrages committed here since the October
election would disgrace the most barbarous
people, and yet this Is claimed to be one Of
the most refined and Christian counties In
the State, AoHIA.

RADICAL PROJECTS FOR ADDITIONAL Re-
CONSTRUCTION. Washington correspond
ence New York Herdld.]-The leading men,
bers OF the Republican party have for some
time past manifested considerable anxiety
as to the part the Southern States will play
in the next Presidential election. 1t is
generally conceded that in the present con-
dition of affairs there the Democrats are
certain to carry every State south of the
ancient Mason and Dixon's line, except,
perhaps, South Carolina. This is disap-
pointment to those who have been engaged
in reconstructing the Southern States In the
interest of the Republican party, and the
question now Is how to bring them back
and keep them under the Republican ban
ner. just before the holiday recess Senator
Morton introduced a resolution calling upon
the President for information concerning
the recent disturbances in North Carolina
and other States, where it is alleged the laws
Of the United States have been defied
and resisted. This resolution was so word
ed as to allow the answer to embrace
all the Southern States. II is understood
that some time this week the answer to the
resolution will be sent to the Senate: This
is the special message on the condition of
the Southern States which it has been stated
the President would send to Congress.
This answer from the Executive will show
that the Southern people are far from being
in a condition to deserve or appreciate
amnesty. 1t will further show that q feeling
of opposition to the Government exists
which has not been equalled since the close
of the rebellion. This information will
probably be made to serve two purposes
first, to silence those who are demanding
general amnesty, and second, to afford an
excuse for something like a fresh recon-
Struction of the Southern States. The Pres
ident's reply will likely be referred to aspe-
cial committee, which will be instructed to
investigate the facts and report what legis-
latiOn is necessary to secure the enforce
ment of the laws and the protection Of life
and property. In the meantime several
prominent Republicans from the South are
here and others are expected to cooperate
with the reconstructionists in Congress.
