The Trial and Sentence of Capt. C. v.
Hamilton.

The Trial and Sentence of Capt. C. v.
Hamilton.
Capt. G. v. Hamilton, whose name is
80 notorious in Edgefield, and who mar
ried into one Of the best families on Sa-
luda, was tried ten days ago, at Thomson,
Ga, found guilty, and sentenced to ten
years in the State Penitentiary. The pub
licwiir remeinbe his arrest, and that q
hisaccomptices, some two months back.
It seems he was the head Of regular
band of banditti. who robbed, and. pill
iage6, and murdered without mercy and
without restraint. His two leading ac-
completes, Wilhsand Long, pleafS Ted gull
~, and eacl. was sentenced TO five years
In the Penitentiary. Willis told the whole
tale straight ont from beginning to end.
And dark, stirring, and startling tale It
is. Hamilton, who is In appearance,
dress, manners, &C., an intelligent and
polished gentlemar;i is now in 3ailin Au-
gusta, preparatory to being taken to the
Penitsntiary: Thomson is the county
seat Of a new Count and has, as yet, no
jail: Remarkable man, oremarkable
crimes, remarkable easel !,

under the enforcement act (says the New
berry Herald, of the 1st) is beyond de-
scription. In this county there is scarce
" anything doing; in the town, business
is almost dead, with but little hope of re-
covery, whilo on the farm, in majority
of cases, there is little Or nothing doing
and the future prospects, indeed gloomy.
And while 1t is so with us here in New
berry, the situation Is much worse at
Laurens. A gentleman from there on
Thursday last says that during the whole
of one afternoon he saw but three per-
sons out shopping, one lady and two lit
tie girls, and not living soul in from
the country. So fearful are some mcn-oi
being arrested and imprisoned, however
innocent they may be-so widespread is
the fear or demotalization-th in some
instances it is said farmers plough their
fields with saddled horses, ready to flee
on the approach of an officer of the gov
ernment. Tho times could scarcely be
worse.

For the last three or four years the
country has heard perpetual dissertations
upon cumulative voting, and minority
representation. Ever since the Demo-
crats have been in the minority, their
Journals through the country have ad-
vocated this theory with great zeal.
We would suggest that u thcy arc sim
cerely anxious to put this principle IN
practice, they have an opportunity to do
so in Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee and
other States where they are in power.
Now, to tcst their sincerity, wo have only
to wait and see if they adopt the practice
they so strenuously urge :pon the Re-
publican party Us n much needed reform.
-Columbia Union.
And you may wait until doomsday,
and the Democratic party, If in the ma
iority, will never think of giving niinori-
ty representation to the Republican party.
Some Of the Democratic press in this
state have advocated this principle, now
that Democracy is in ahopeless minorityi
but we are very much of tho opinion that
were we in the majority, hiat the editors
of the papers who have written In favor
of the scheme of representation proposed
would not be able to see any good to re-
salt therefrom. Minority representation
may be good thing, but, as we have
| hitherto said, we are not willing to beg
! Of the Republican party IN this State the
granting of favor to us and our party
| that we would not, under like circum
stances, grant them.

Greenwood and Augusta Railroad.

Itis gratifying to know tsays tho Abs
beyiile Medium that the Greenwood and
Augusta Railroad is no longer myth
but that 1t is living reality. Onr peo-
pie have reason to be glad that, under all
their MANY financial and political emhar-
rassments, the "car of Progress" moves,
and that our travelling facilities are being
extended. A meeting of the corporators
of the G. It A. Railroad will take place
at Dorn's Mine on oath inst, at II o'clock
A. NJ. A large meeting is hooked for and
much enthusiasm will be manifested by
the people.
The advantages accruing to Abbeyilie
county, md to the State at large, from
this railroad are almost beyond compu-
tation. 1t will run through the richest
portion of our County, will reduce the
price of the necessaries and luxuries OF
life, and will be the means of improving
the condition and prospects Of the whole
people along its line. 1t will open up a
rich field to the miner, and treasures OF
gold, iron, &C., which have lain buried
for ages will be unc rthed, to goforth and
bless the world. Greenwood will rise to
name and place among the great basi-
ness marts of the land and Augusta Will
secure the traffic Of upper South Carolina.

Horace creeley and Crats Brown

Horace Greeley and Gratis Brown.
The great Liberal Republican Convan-
ton, at Cincinnati, has a,et, accomplished
its work, and adjourned. Tho result of
its deliberations In now known to the
country At large,
wesheuld have preferred either Charles
Francis Adams or Judge Dasm to Horace
Greeley, but at the same time that We do
not toss our hat IN the air over tho norni
nation Of thelatter, We are not displeased
with it. We hail the nomination Of Gov.
Gratx Brown with anislgned Sasisfaetion.
As regards Mr.. Greeley, tho South has
much to hate him for, but stiil mora, we
honestly believe, 10 love him for. While
he hss undouhtedly been the leader and
the strongest man In breaking down, the
Democratic party; still, on the other
hand, he has proved himself an honest
man, an independent man, q consistent
man; and, beyond all cavel, has proved.
himself ever since the close Of the war,
TO be-actuated ty a spi,-a Of eoaeitiafiom
and peqee. And he Is also sn able man
and working naan-beginning. life ss
practical printer. For this latter reason
though 1t may seem foreign to political
,matters-the press of the country should
be favorably disposed to him. As yet no
printer or newspaper man has filled the
Presidential Chair. To see one attain
this high position, would certainly both
please and dignity the Gran.
The Platform OF principles Is good. IT
is in fact extremely good. The very
best Democrat could object to bnt one
point in it, viz. the obligation. not to In
terfsre with the Thirteenth, Fourteenth
and fifteenth Amendments. These are
now parts of the Constitution of the land,
and no wise or far-soeing Democrat will
seek to interferewith thesr flnality. Such
an attempt would be but darting straws
against the wind.
This Platform promises peace 10 the
conntry through freedom to the citizen,
freedom to the States, and freedom to-
commerce, industry and interchange.
II promises us a reform of tho hightful
and formidable official abuses. which, as
it win be remembered, Republican
committee estimated, costs the country
one-fourth Its annual revenue. It prom:
ises Us an equitable tariff. Andit prom
ises, through a general Amnesty and
otherwise, a restoration Of good feeling
between the North and the South.
None of these things can the Grant
party give us-.nor would II they conld.
And therefore they must be defeated and
driven from power. To defeat them and
drive them out Is the meaning and pur-
pose Of this Liberal Republican move
ment. And since thu men And the meas
ures proposed at Cincinnati rr--cc::..::ss Us |
so much of good, Let US hope that the
when they meet IN National |
win bid these men and |
measures God-speed.
