Double Execution in sumter.
SUMTER. S. C.. March 9

SUMTER, S. c., March 81.
EDITOR PHOENIX: This usually quiet
town was the scene Of an extraordinary
event, to. .day-n double execution. Two
coiored men, named Aaron Furmnn and
Samuel Vincent, in February last, early
in the evening, deliberately murdered
young German. named Wldekiud, in The
public street, in this town. 1t was
proven Oh the trial that they had laid in
wait for him once or twice-tho suppo-
sition being that he carried goodly
amount CT money on his person. There
wcro three men connected with the dia-
bolical alfair-thc third, brother Of
Furman, who turned States evidence.
After fair and impartial trial, Vincent
and A. Fnrman were convicted Of MUIR
der in the first degree, and Judge
Mackey sentenced thom to death. There
wos an immense concourse OF culored
persons from Sumter and the adjacent
Counties, to witness the horrible exhibi-
ton, tue number being estimated ut six
or seven thousand. Sheriff j. Nj. Tin
dali superintended the execution. Vim
cent was completely overcome, shed
tears profusL-J, and maintained to the
last that he was innocent. Furman wus
moro composed, but asserted his inno-
cence OF the crime; declaring that his
brother was the guilty party. The con
demncd were conveyed to field about n
milo from the town, where the gp,iows
had been erected; and about l O'clock,
tho ropes having been adjusted nnd
prayers said, they were swung of. The
rope slipped and Vincent slowly stran.
gled to death; while Furman died a.
most instantly-his neck having been
broken by the fall. After hanging q suf-
iioient length OF time, the bodies were
cut down and delivered to the relatives
and friends.
It is to be hoped that these executions
will prove salutary, as murder is becom-
ing fearfully prevalent in this section-
| almost as common as thieving. s.

company, organized this spring, aud
the old company. The mill owners have
refused. to open their dams aud let the
logs he run through. The different
companies took the law in their own
hands, and opened the gates, and two
dams are reported destroyed. There is
much excitement among the lumber
men, and there have been several colh.

Our Great aiver.

At banquet given to the chief gineers
of the st. Louis fire department, by the
Underwriters, Senator Carl Schurz made
one of his happy off-hand responses to the
toast "The Mississippi Valley and her
Commerce" We give his closing remarks
which, although clothed in the Senator's
habitual eloquence, do in no particlar
swerve from the simple truth:
Gentlemen, we are all feeling that, great
as is the wealth, vast as are the resources
and the products and the commerce of the
Mississippi Valley, we are only standing on
the threshold of greater things yet to come
Not only will our people multiply-not
only will the pillow subdue more millions of
acres of virgin soil; not only will our
miners uncover more treasures of mineral
wealth not only will many more factory
chimneys darken the land, but trust the
time is not far distant when our commerce
will receive new impulse and develos-
mept by the opening of the mouth of the
Mississippi to the great commerce of the
world. have long held it to be- one of
the scandals of American history that the
outlet of the most magnificent artery of
commerce possessed by the world should
Sd long have been permitted to be closed
against the great vessels, now carrying
the commerce of nations, by few miser-
able sand bare and mud banks. Gentle.
men, impossibility itself has disappeared
before the engineering skill of this century.
Look at the great bridge which so proudly
leaps across the broad Mississippi here.
with its tremendous arch spans, the very
picture of strength and beauty, and one of
the greatest triumpbs of art and scientific
courage. Look at our railroads running
up to mountain tops at the tunnels that
pierce mountains; at the viaducts that
span our swamps and marshes and shall
that genius and daring falter now before
the mud bank of the deltaf Surely no.
If the people of che Mississippi Valley only
will it with strong, united, determined
will, then the time cannot be far off whom
the opened river mouth will swarm with
the great vessels that swim the seas. 1t
will be done and it must be done. |
The Mississippi River mast fulfill it's
great destiny, and that is to be the |
Atlantic Ocean ramifed thousands of miles |
in the heart of the North American CONT
nent. That great contamination will sure
ly be reached, aud when il ia, then, more
than ever, will the Mis4i..rpln valley ue
the grandest theatre ~ human enterprise
and industry aud linked to tue whotB
world by that magnificent channel of com
merce, it will be the home of teemiug mil
ions, glorying in their thrift aud progress
sive improvement, aud united forever in q
e-cemented brotherhood.
