HAVE THE LAWS BEEN ENFORCED.

The Review does not appear to relish
our exposition of what We conceived to
be the issue before the people in the
present Presidential contest. We would
remind the Review that calling its polt-
cal opponents "Harpers, saying that
they have no sense and concluding with
an explanatory Bah. is not argument.
1t may be the best that it can do under
the circumstances, but it certainly fails
to carry conviction. Besides our neigh
Dor assumes the point at issue, which is
whether Grant and his followers have
carried out and obeyed the laws of the
land. For our part we do not believe
that there are any enactments providing
for the wholesale robbery of the South
ern people. That they have been and
are now being plundered is undeniable
the fact is equally undeniable that the
most tnoroughgoing supporters of
Grant in the South are guilty of these
crimes. Look at Holden impeached and
disgraced; at Bullock of Georgia, a
refugee in a foreign country from the
justice of his own; at Scott of South
Carolina, who with his accomplices have
bankrupt the State; at Reed of Florida;
at Warmoth of louisiana; at Davis of
Texas. They are all staunch Grant men,
and all 60 unwhipped of justice. Is this
carrying out the laws? Is it legal to rob,
to murder, to make farce of the elect
i've franchise, to stuff ballot boxes, to
declare martial law for the purposes of
carrying an election, to use Z. S. vessels
to deport portion of State legislature,
TO terrify and overawe conventions by
Federal soldiers and artillery? All these
things have been done by Grants
friends, and yet we are told that the
to commit these enormites and to profit
by such successes, an era in American
jurisprudence has arrived that Kent,
Storey and Marshall never dreamed of.
But this is not the case. The American
Congress, however venal or partisan it
may have been, has dared to so outrage
the best teachings of civilization as to
legalize robbery and oppression, and to
declare that such outrages are no crime.
No matter what Congress in its legislat-
i've capacity may have done, there cannot
be found a syllable in its statutes which
will justify such an assertion. The
countless wrongs that have been heaped
upon the people of the South arise from
the fact that the laws have not been
justly administered, that offenders have
not been made to eXpiate their Offences
On the contrary they have been protect
ed and rewarded with place and power.
And it is because Grant has lent the
prestige of his name and power of the
government to screen these criminals
because he has prostituted the laws for
his own personal ends instead of enforc
ing them for the benefit of his country,
that we say he is not worthy of the great
Office he now holds.

DEATH OF Gov. SEwARD.--The tele-

death of Gov. Seward, who for a number
of years has occupied most prominent
position among the public men of the
country. The deceased gentleman filled
many positions of great Importance, and
however much many may have differed
from his views, his management of pub
lie affairs was marked by great ability.
In his profession as lawyer, he rose to
great eminence. His private character
was above reproach, and he leaves behind
very large circle of friends, to whom he
was endeared by long and kindly social
intercourse, and many acts Of kindness.

INDIAN DEPREDATIoNs IN UTAH.
Parowan, Iron county, U. T., Oct g.
A band of Navahoe Indians came to this
place last Monday, and loitered around
some time, evidently taking items in re-
gard to the general situation. Finding
everything quiet, they moved on as far
as the Summit range, and drove off about
% head of horses and mules, going south
on the old trail leading to Colorado.
Yesterday Albert Lameraux came to
this Office and said that night before last,
as he was coming from Cedar City with
the mail, when near Summit, he came
upon three Indians by the roadside with
band of range horses. VIM. Fuller
was with the mail carrier. One Indian
spoke to them and asked them where
they We're going. They made no reply,
but pushed ahead. When this side of
Summit they met man on horseback,
who turned off the road when within
about two hundred yards of them and
went for the mouth of Summit canyon
as hard as he could.

HorrihIe NInr,ier

At Hawkinsonis store, in Beech
Island, Edgefield county, on last Satur-
day night, horrible and altogether un-
provoked murder was committed, says
the Charleston Courier, by one Thomas
Williams, a cOlored man, who ruthlessly
took the life of fellowman, also col
ored, named John Minis. 1t appears
that Williams was beating another ne
gro in an unmerciful manner, when
Minis went to Williams and begged him
to cease beating the man, who was a
friend of Minis, whereUpon Williams
became very much offended with Minis,
accused him of taking up the fight of
his unfortunate friend, which Minis de-
MED, and after giving the latter the lie,
took up the dOor-bar and struck Minis a
severe blow across the temple, from the
effects of which blow he died almost in
stantly. An inquest was held ON the
body Of the deceased on the evening of
the twenty-sixth, J. F. Harling, Trial
Justice, acting as Coroner, and ver-
dict returned in accordance with the
above facts. Williams was arrested and
lodged in jail at Edgefield by Milledge
Cooper, Constable, on Tuesday last,
where he now awaits his trial.

uncor.nnate shooting Arrnr.

On Tuesday morning last, says the
Euiield Is. c. advertiser of the twenty
ninth of May, our young tOwnsman,
Mr.. Charlie Chase, shot and wounded,
fatally, negro man by the name Of
Jack Lindsay, better known, however,
as Jake Moss, who died on the next
day. Mr.. Chase lives with his widowed
grandmother, Mrs. Sam Brooks, con-
Quoting her farm interest and affairs
generally. Jake Lindsay was hired by
them, and was, under Mr.. Chase, sort
Of foreman of the crop. That the farm
ing operations were to be absolutely or
dered and guided by Mr.. Chase, was,
we are informed, part of the contract
or agreement. On the morning of the
difficulty, it seems that Mr.. Chase or.
dered the hands into o certain field, but
upon going to look after things, found
them, with Jake in another, and
this by Jake's direction. Mr.. Chase
commanded them into the other field.
The negro objected, refused, and exhibited
much wrath and obstinaey, We would
not really be, or appear, in the faiptest
degree prejudieed IN this account; but
from all we have been able to learn, and
from reliable sources, too, the colored
man behaved on this occasion with un-
hridled insolence, and blind and unrea-
sopipg obstinaey, The upshOt was, that
Lindsay quilted the Aeld, hurried to tho
house, returned with his loaded gun, and
resumed the alteration. Andupon this,
Mr.. Chase, much excited and exasper-
ated, shot him. As we go TO press, an
inquest is being held upon the body of
Lindsay. Mr., Chase having left his
home, has not been arrested. But he
will of his own accord, we are assured,
return after the present excitement has
somewhat subsidized, and surrender him.
self to the proper officers of the law.

courage and IrOmpt obedience to orders

ARRAY RetWeen n Mute aud n Woman.
The Norfolk Journal of Thursday
says: "AbOut half past eight o'clock on
Sunday night q difficulty occurred in
Marsden's lane between a negro mute,
named Kirk, and q negro woman,
named Fanny Vernon, in the course of
which the mute cut the woman across
the wrist with a pocket knife, and then
plunged the knife in her abdomen, in
flicting dangerous and probably fatal
wound. After committing the deed,
the mute ran up the lane until he found
an officer, whom he induced by signs to
accompany him to the scene of the
fight. The officer not knowing the ex-
tent of the wOman's injuries, conducted
both TO the stationhOuse. The woman
becoming faint, DIR. Nash was sum-
mOned. He rendered the necessary at
tention, and ordered the woman
TO be sent home. Kirk was
kept in the stationhouse all night
and brought before the Mayor
yesterday morning. He made signs
that the woman had struck him over
the head with pitcher, and he cut her
in seif-defense. He was committed to
await the result of the wOman's injuries.
A Journal reporter visited the wounded
woman yesterday morning. He found
her easy, but complaining of great pain
whenever she moved. She denied hav-
ing had any quarrel with Kirk, and
says he stabbed her because she pushed
him away from her, while she was talk
ing to another man. The wound is on
the left side of the navel, and ON a line
with it. If inflammation sets i'm, the
woman will die. Kirk is a stranger
here. 1t is said he came here about
three weeks ago from Boston.
