TO TIE PUBLTC.

Having become sole owner ofthc pro-
pcrty known rs the. Meroney's Hotel, I
desire to state to the public that the Fl ,tel
will not be discontinued, but will, on tho
contrary, be kept up, if possible, better
than ever heretofore
It was advertised for sale for the paltry
sum of two hundred dollars, which was no:
my debt but one against Mr.. Mcroney, as
security on a note for party who failed TO
meet it when due. And as suit for the
money was brought against Mr.: AIcroney
and not the makers of the httc, we thought
it best to let the property be sold and that
should buy it in; which did and now
have titles for it. No more debts of a, like
nature can ever come against it; SO my
friends may console themselves With the
assurance that Mcroncy's Hotel will cor.
tinuc to be In the future what 1t has been III
the past the only first clas, Iutise of tho
kind ever kept in Orangeburg. ask my
friends throughout the County and State to
continue their patronage with me, and
guarantee that they will always be well
cared for, and ever leave the hospitahle
roof Of my Hotel perfectly satisfied. E

The Hamburg Row.

There was q fatally dcsasterous
collision between the whites and
blacks at Hamburg in this State on
Saturday last, in which several lives
were lost, one white and six colored.
Several were also wounded. There
are two versions of the affair. In
order to be fair wo give them both,
with the hope that the guilty parties
whssoever they may be, will be duly
punished! when caught.
We give first the official report and
secondly the account published by
General Butler, who claims to have
been misrcpresentcd by tic Ncrs and
Courier in its statement Of the un-
fortunate an,entc:
OFFICIAL ACCOUNT.
The difficulty grew out of dispute
which originated between two white
men and some miitiamcn willie par-
adlng on the Eth OF July, the later
refusing to break ranks for the former
to pass. The. Captain WAS arrested
for obstructing the highway and was
summoned before General Price
Rivers for trial, with General NJ. e.
Butler as prosecuting attorney. On
the day Of trial crowds Of white mon
camo into Hamburg from Edgofeld
and elsewhere armed to the teeth.
This frightened the militiamen, who
with their Captain betook themselves
to their drill room where they cxpcc.
ted to defend themselves rs best they
could. Hero General Butler sent
him word that he would give him
half hour to surrender his arms md
waited about this length Of time.

NJ. Mackcy was introduced and made
n general 4th Of July Speech. He
was followed by Solicitcr Buttz, who
reviewed his course, and showed up
his boiling prociviltics to the great
disgust Of the few colored men who
had cheercd him, not knowing who
he was. Buttz carried tho crowd
with him to the utter annihilatioa of
our (?) Congressman.
Hon. w. J. Whippcr was tho last
speaker, and Grated at considerable
length on the Day. He was finally
asked whether he designed to take
his aeat. Hc replied that he ala, aid
hoped to do SO peaccaby. His speech
however was mainly Of the day and
what it commemorated.
A recess was here taken tor dinner,
