THE DEAD SWAMP ANGEL.
Further Particulars Of the Killing
OF Tom Lowry.

OF Tom Lowry.
Further particulars OF the killing OF
Tom Lowry, of the Robson county
gang of Swamp Angels" received at
Wilmington, N. c., show that it was
effected by S. Wishart and Robert E.
Wishart brothers Of Colonel Wishart,
and James Mckay and James Camp
bell-all resolute and daring young
men-who started out for Scuffletown,
the capital of the outlaws, on Thursday
night last, for the purpose Of avenglng
the death of the lamented Colonel
Wishart, who was so basely murdered
by the gang. They arrived near Souf'
fetown and secreted themselvers along
the road travelled by the outlaws and
inhabitants. None OF the gang were
seen until Saturday morning, about
8 o'clock, when Tom Lowery appeared
in sight on his way to Union Chapel,
where political speaking was to take
place that day. He was walking
along the road in company with a
white man named Prevatt. Lowery
was armed with a Spencer rifle and
three revolvers. He came without sus
picion until he got opposite where the
Young men were concealed, when he
noticed the tracks they had made in
crossing the road. He now seemed
suddenly to become alarmed, and COM
menced cursing furiously. At a given
signal the band in ambush discharged
their pieces at him simultaneously.
Each OF the four shots took effect, and,
utteriug a yell of terror and pain,
Lowery plunged into the swamp and
ran about fifty yards, when be fell in
the agony OF death. But he did not die
without trying to avenge himself. The
struggle was prolonged while life lasted.
As the young inen approached him
he attempted to draw pistol, but was
too weak to do 80. One hand was
clutched 80 firmly about his gun that it
was with difficulty his fingers could be
uuclasped. On his body was found
gold watch. the property Of Mr.. John
McNair. The body was Immediately
seized and carried on the shoulders Of
the party to the public road, about q
half mile distant, where passing wag'
on was pressed into service and the body
was carried to Lumberton and delivered
to the sheriff. Itwas fully identified as
that Of Tom Lowery, and was delivered
to his wife, who was sent for by the
sheriff. 1t was inferred bv his friends
at two o'clock on Saturday somewhere
in the classic precincts Of Scuffletown
The same day the sheriff paid over to
the Wisharts and their companions the
reward offered by the county, which is
$1,000. There is also a State reward o
$4,000, whcih they will probably soon
receive. Stephen Lowery and Andrew
Strong are the only two OF the gang
now remaining, and it is thought they
will soon meet with similar fate.

Special Telegram to the Commercial
New YORK, July 24.-There has
been no regular session Of the National
Executiv. Democratic Committee since
the Baltimore Convention, but this
morning its headquarters for the cam
paign was opened at the Speugler House.
The rooms used by the Committee are
four parlors on the first floor, forming
the most extensive and luxurious Of all
the campaign headquarters in New
York. The Erprsss says of this Dem"
ocratio move: at is proposed to keep
up q distinct organization and to en-.
gineer a distinct campaign, although
at all times cheerfully cooperating
with the National Liberal Republican
Committee. This is out Of Difference to
three million Democratic voters of the
United States, who neither wish nor
will permit the old organization and
name to lapse. 1t is proposed in State
tickets to bring about q fusion OF the
elements OF opposition as will be salts

IT was nobody but Henry Wilson,
Radical candidate for the Vice Presi-
dency, who, some years ago, declared
that "the time has come when the uni
form of the State militia should NO
longer be seen on the back of Catho.
lie Irishmau or an Inidel Dutchman."
This sentiment pasted in the hat Of q
Catholic Irishmsn," or an "Infdel
Dutchman," with the autograph OF Hen
ry Wilson attached, would be quite an
ornament.

A RESIDENT OF Philadelphia received
in due course of mail, the following
letter:
LIE MANS, January l3. 1871.
M Dear Friend Il was very much
panied to-day to find that many Of my
men and comrades were killed by Amer
lean bullets shot from Springfield rifles.
We found thousands Of these muskets
stamped U. S. on the field Of battle,
and / heard curses deep and loud.
What treacherous people those Amer
lean people must be.
The German soldiers whose brothers
in-arms were killed by balls from United
States rihed muskets, were too basty in
cursing the American people; it was the
wicked men at the head Of the Govern
ment who sold the arms in violation Of
law, and used the Government machin.
cry to furnish ammunition, by means
Of which the fields oil France were fer
tilized with the blood of German sol.
diers. And yet the friends and kinsm en-
OF the dead are called upon to vote in
support OF the Administration by means
OF whose misdeeds their brothers died.
