robbed OF his watch and chain and shirt buttons,
but his money was still safe Ia his pants pockets.
When the officer came up TO the man he had
noticed short distance Oh three young men who
walked or rapidly up the avenue. He followed
them and they ran into a cellar in Twenty ninth
street, between Second and Third avenues where
he and another off1cer arrested them. In coal
bin, within two feet OF the prisoners, were found
set OF metal knuckles some worthless bank bills
and pawn ticket for q watch. John White,
one OF the prisoners, admitted the bills and
the pawn ticket to be his but the whole
three denied any knowledge OF the knuckes. The
other two gave their names as John Marks ana
court as an old offender. They denied all kn0wl-
edge or the robbery Of the unknown man, who, in
the excitement following the arrest OF the pris-
Oners disappeared and has not been heard from
since. The Court did not think there was sul-
ficient evidence against the prisoners to hold
them and they were discharged.

Abbeville Hotel, by 9 number Of cItl-
zens headed by the eolored Brass Band
and being called upon responded in an
earnest speech reviewing the political
situation, and urging the necessity of
electing honest men to office. Solicitor
Blythe followed in some wise counsel
to the men of the party not to inaugu-
rate the campaign before the crop was
laid by, as time enough would yet re-
main for it's necessary work, after the
crop had been Secured. w. D. Mars,
Esq, invoked union and cordial co-ope-
ration between the two races in the
work of the campaign, and urged that
as their interests were in common, they
should make common cause ia securing
good men. In behalf Of his race he
pledged to the coldfed men full equali'
ty before the law.

JUDGE MAcKEY has delivered a re-
cent address at Sumter in which he calls
loudly for refoem as necessary to the
salvation of the Republican party in the
State. He believed that his party was
now on its trial in this State. If it arose
in its might and threw off the load OF
corruption which now made South Car
olina the disgrace of American States,
he believed it would continue to prevail
here. If it did not, if the same corrup-
ton in the administration was again
attempted, he believed the Republican
party would never again hold conven-
ton in single County in the State.
He had full confidence in the rcgenera-
ton of the party, and thought the re-
form would be complete. He argued
that the party wonld last forever, because
it was founded in truth and justice,
while the bad men who ad betrayed
their trusts would pass away.

The s-Eumbert mbrogio'

The Grand Jury of Orangeburs have
brought in verdict of Indictment
it seems, against Humbert the County
Treasurer, and Governor Moses, char
ging a breach of trust and larceny,
in the application of some sixteen thou
sand dollars Of the public funds to the
payment Of the Governors private
debts. A warrant of arrest was issued
by Judge Graham and delivered ID the
acting Sheriff of the County, who pro-
ceeded to Columbia for the purpose o'
arresting the Governor. The latter re-
sisted, and calling to his aid the colored
militia defied the process of the Court.
The right of the Court to arrest in a
proper case, we suppose, is too clear FOL
discussion; and thst there is nothing III
tho office of the chief Executive Whict,
can relieve him from liability to the
law, or obedience to its process, we sup
pose, is generally conceded. Upon what
ground the Governor can justify his le-
sistance we srest a loss to conceive. we
see it stated that Friday the 2Sth inst.
has been fixed for the trial of the case.
The Charleston Ne,cs and Courier fur
nishes the following details:
"NIoses was not arrested last night, as
was supposed. Coroner Coleman was
sent for, yesterday afternoon, to receive
his submission, and was taken to the
Executive mansion in Moses carriage.
But, while expressing his doubts as to
his authority to arrest Moses, despatch
was received from lawyers in Orange
burg, advising Moses not to allow him
self to be taken, and not to give bail.
This statement will explain how the
impression got out that Moses had accept
ed service of the writ, and why the ne
gro militia continued OH guard at the
Executive mansion during the night.
Coroner Coleman, this morning, issued
warrant for the arrest Of the Sheriff of
Orangeburg County, on the charge OF
attcm pting to make an illegal arrest OF
the Governor. The Sheriff, however,
could not be found, and the officer ar
rested his deputy.
ORANGEBURG, May 20.
The Sheriff has returned from ColuEl-
bia. and this morning made the follow
ing return on his warrant of arrest:

his that said Nose refused to be arrested
under any circumstances. also learn
ed that Moses called out the militia tt
resist the execution of this warrant:
+. I. CAIN, Sheriff.
Upon the reading of the return, So
licitor Buttz asked the Court what steps
would be taken to force an arrest o
Moses. The court remarked that for tn
present it did not see its way to sue
cessful fight with the State militia, an,
| further action would be held under al
visement.
