OFFICIAL PROOFS OF MURDER,
Read the HOrrid story!

COLUMBIA, S. G., Sept. 20, 1876
Fearful reports Of the disturbances
have just reached here from the vicln-
ity of Ellenton, Barnweil county. A
gentleman who went down on the train
from Augusta, Georgia, has been to see
me this morning, and reports only what
be saw with bis own eyes. He says 5.
2. Coker, member of the General As
sembly, and delegate to the conven
ton from the county of Barnwell, who
left here for home on Monday, was on
Tuesday taken from his home, carried
to Ellenton and then shot to death. L
will tell the story as it was told to me,
and in the language of the relator, as
nearly as | can:
81 left Augusta for Beaufort on Tues
day morning at $50 o'clock. We pro-
ceeded as far as Ellenton, when Capt.
NJ. NJ. Hudson, conductor of the train,
refused to 20 further, as reports had
reached him Of proposed collision at
Roberts, few miles below. While
waiting at EllentOu, probably not more
than half an hour, l saw S. Z. Coker
walking with several white men with
guns on their shoulders. LIDO not think
he felt that he was in any danger. He
went over to a store near the station,
and in plain sight, but a few yards
away, and sat down en- a bench and
talked with the white men. After a
few minutes they all got up and walked
about thirty or forty yards into field,
under large oak tree, all talking to-
gether. The white men then left Coker
about thirty yards off and shot him.
Two men shot him after he fell. l saw
all this while sitting in the cars. ,
&c also saw two other men dead by
the side Of the railroad, one with his
head almost entirely off. A colored
man named Morrison was on the train.
| think he was ouce a member Of the
General Assembly from Beaufort. 4.
p. Butler, think is his name, brother
Of NJ. g. Butler, while on the train was
elected to command the company Of
white men then on the train. He went
up to Morrison, and drawing his pistol,
was going to shoot him at once, and
would have done SO if the conductor
had not told him that Morrison was in
his charge, and should not be hurt. He
1.-THE conductorl finally put Morrison in
the baggage car, and told him to lock
himself in and stay there until he told
lin to come out. Morrison weIt to
Augusta from there. Butler was very

The illumination Of the Centennial
Exhibition Grounds.
AL of the original thirteen States or
provinces that signed the Declaration
of Independence one hundred years
ago, have held State Jubilee on the
Centennial grounds at Philadelphia, or
those of that number that have not
done SO, will do SO before the EIhibi-
tions closes.
Last Thursday was Pennsylvania's
day, and of all the days at the E1hibi-
tion, that has been the greatest. The
multitude assembled exceeded BY far
that of any multitude ever assembled
for 4 civil purpose on this continent.
More than two hundred and f.ty thou
sand people passed through the gates to
honor the occasion. Modern times have
witnessed no such an outpouring of the
people. What ancient times witnessed
no one kno~eth, but amidst all of the
wonderful Developments of egotism of
this day ami gener alton, no one is found
to declare that olden times did not equal
the Exhibition at Philadelphia The
fact is, that the more of the glimpses
of the life of the people of the past
that 3 man becomes acquainted with,
the better be realizes that he knows
little Of their greatness. Indeed, If 1t
were not for scrap Of Jewish history,
in which If is told how Jewish maiden
-Esther-becape the wife of King
OF great country, to-day We would
not know that tweuty-three hundred
aud ninety years ago, great national
or international exhibition was held in
the kingdom of Ahasuerus, King Of
the Medes and Persians. Just what
VAS exhibited is not told. There being
but giimmering outline of the event,
the reader is left TO grope about amidst
the uncertainty of conjecture relative
thereto. But faint as the outline is,
all are impressed TO believe that it was
an exhibition of great magnitude and
spiendpr. One hundred and twenty
seven States or Provinces exhibited,
and the show lasted one hundred and
eighty days, six months, the same time
assigned to the CentepuIal Exhibition
OF the Republic. How many people
we're there will never be known, unless
discovery, which would have to bor-
der seil nigh on to the miraculous,
should unearth . library of the Medes
and Persians, in which doubtless all
would be found written, as they we're .
people acquainted with letters and care
fal Of record.

Editorial Notes on the Political
Situation, from Exchange Pa
perS. .

The latest accounts from South Caro-
liza prove rhe truth of cur assertion
that the negroes were not the aggres-
sors in the recent troubles. 1ntelli-
gence received at Washington states
that from thirty to one hundred ne
groes have been killed during the past
week in the vicinity of Aiken, and
shows that the whites are carrying out
their original determination to obtain
control of the State by killing off Re-
publican voters. At this rate their
success is assured if the strong arm of
the government is not interposed to put
an end to the iendish operations
North .Americdn.
TILDEN, it is promised, will reduce
taxation. At the same time his ad-
ministration is tacitiy pledged to pen
sion the confederate wounded, invalid
and bereaved. The only reduction in
taxation possible is by stimulating in-
dustry 20 greater production, while
watching against fraud and waste.
The Republican party has employed
both of these agencies, aud employed
them so wisely that industry increased
while all the interest of the debt was
promptly met; while portions of the
principal were lIquidatec, and the gross
charge was reduced By funding at low
er rates Any other method is impos-
sible and absurd. But startling prom
ises and flaring assertions mislead the
thoughtless with an idea that taxation
can be reduced BY bare legislation, and
that without injury. The whole thing
is an intended fraud-North .3mericaa.

Pennsylvania Day-The Ceremony
of the 28th,

A number of the thirteen States or
Provinces that entered the compact of
the Declaration of Independence in
l776, have already observed a jubilee
day in honor of their one hundredth
national birth year, and those of that
original number that have not yet done
so, will do so between this and Noyem-
| Der.
Last Thursday was Pennsylvanis's
Day. The occasion was observed by
the assembling of the largest collection
Of people in a civil capacity ever gath
cred at one place on this continent,
within the knowledge of man. 1t was
a fitting day for Pennsylvania 20 honor,
because it was the centennial day of
the adoption of the State Constitution
following the Declaration of lndepen-
dence. The number of people present
fuctuates somewhere between 250, 900
and 100000.
As each OF the States not only hon
ored special days by specially large
crowds, but by appropriate ceremony
also, so did Pennsylvania honor the oc-
casion by ceremony. The ceremony
began shortly before 10 o'clock, when
"the veteran corps of the First Regi-
ment of Infantry, National Guards Of
Pennsylvania, Col. Charles S. Smith
commanding, after waiting upon Cover
nor Hsrtrauft at the Globe Hotel, con-
Quoted him to the State structure, on
the Exhibition grounds. Upon enter
ing the building be was met By the
Centennial authorities with Director
General Goshorn at their head, who
escorted His Excellency TO the Judges
Hall, where the principal exercises of
the day took place. On their arrival,
about III o'clock, the ceremonies were
opened with the singing of an original
ode by the CorinthIan Quartette Of
Philadelphia. Upon reaching the in
terror of the Hall, and quietness being
restored, Governor Hartranft took the
chair and delivered short address, in
which he spoke Of the greatness of the
occasion, the gratifying attendance of
the citizens of this commonwealth, and
of the wonderful results achieved by
the exhibition. He paid fitting trib-
ute to the Centennial managers, to the
working of the Worlds Fair, and
to its Importance In history, and
concluded by presenting the Presi-
dent of the Centennial Commission,
Gen. Joseph X. Hawley. The latter
spoke in bis happiest manner, and at
the conclusion of his remarks. Mr.. John
Welsh, President os the Centennial
Board of Finance, directed attention to
the unlimited and pronounced success
of the show in its every detail. Then
followed the special features of the day,
the address by Benjamin Harris Brews-
ter, Esq, with the history, resources
and growth Of the State"
The Governors reception in the State
building was largely attended.
