From The Ne,0s auG Courier we
copy the following telegram, dated
COLUMBIA, Dec. 81, 1876 -
"Detectives Canton and Hubbard
to-day arrested four negroes con-
cerned in killing Mr.. Ried in Poma-
ria. Ono moro is still at large. Ono
of the negroes confessed everything.
The party went to the store under
tho pretenco of trading, got a fa-
vorablo opportunity, and shot Mr..
Ried. They robbed the safe and
went away. One Of the party was
then sent back to fro the store, and
his suspicious actions ut the fro led
to his arrest. Tho whereabouts Of
the stolen money has been divulged,
and it will probably be recovered"
We trust that the negroes arrest
cd are the guilty parties, and, if
thoy are not, that the perpetrators
OF this crime will be quickly appre-
hended. If ever the law, in all the
severity that remains to it since it's
unfortunate change in 1869, should
be speedily enforced, it should be in
{ is case.

ROBBERY, ARSON AND MURDER
We are informed of most diabol.
cal outrage that took place at
Pomaria, Ncwborry county, on
Christmas night. The store of
Messrs. Holloway g. Reid was en-
tered about nine o'clock and Mr..
Reid, who was sleeping in the build
ing was robbed of a large sum of mon
ey-estimated at $4,000 The build,
ing was then fired, and the citizcnn,
on going to the spot, found the
dead body of Alr. Reid, almost
totally consumed by fire. Altogoth
or this is one of the most outrage.
GUS docds that we have over known.
We have been informed that the
alleged perpetrators, four negroes,
were captured at Trapp's Store,
near Monticello, in this county, and
we trust our information is correct
When the guilty parties are found
and duly convicted, they should be
punished to the full extent of the
law. 1t is to DC regretted, however,
that tho criminal law, as amended
in 1869, does not mete out nm ad-
cquato penalty for either burglary
or arson. When these offences
were punishable with death, they
were OF much less frequent occur
ronce than they have been since the
amendment Of the law. The nan
who enters the dwelling or sleep
ing-apartment of another, in the
darkness of midnight, either to
kill CT to rob, or the one who
wilfully sets fire to house occupied
byhrman beings, is hardly entitled to
more consideration at tho hands of
the courts than he who murders
his victim in open day. Yet the
Inv makes distinction in favor
of the burglar and the house-burn

CHR1sTMAs R1oTs.-As has been
usual for many years past, there
were serious disturbances in differ
ent portions of the country, on or
about Christmas. At Augusta
there was n difficulty-of which we
have not learned the particulars
resulting in the death of one white
man and one negro. At Aiken
there was q shooting affray, in
which a white man received pain
full wound in tho foot, and negro
was shot in the shoulder. At
Blackstock on tho Oath inst. q diff
Guilty occurred between white man
named John Matthews and negro
named Lee Finney, in which
Matthews drew u pistol and fired
upon Finney. Tho wound in
hicted was very severe ono, and
the negro has since died from it's
effects. Matthews fed tho neigh
borhood, md has not yet boon ap,
pretended.
In tho Southern Home of the 9th
inst. we find the details of bloody
riot that occurred in Charlotte on
Christmas evening. We have not
space for full account of the dis
turbanco. Thore was much pistol
firing, between whites and blacks,
and there was ut ono time IL prohbi,=
bility of tho riot becoming very
general. "Shop" johnson, u negro
who was wildly drunk at the time,
was killed, and soven other negroes
were wounded--one badly.
In oil these disturbances the
moving cause was too much whis-
key.

of December quarrel started in
the bar-room of MI. William
McCrory, between one Jack Mathis,
a white painter, who has been in
the employ Of Mr.. Mackorell, and
Lee Phinney, negro. The former
drew a pistol on the latter, and
both were put out Of the bar-room
at once. Almost Immediately the
report of pistol was heard, and
Phinney, stepping back on tho
steps, said that Mathis had shot
him. The ball buried itself in tho
skull, above tho left eye" We were
mistaken in stating in our last issue,
that Lee Phinney had died of his
wound. Though dangerous, it is
not considered necessarily fatal.

ed, the several players acting their
parts finely. Tho extravaganza,
"Our Prima Donna" caused much
merriment, and the songs by "Little
Ollie" were we'll rendered. Altogeth-
or the exhibition was an unusually
good one. The performance on
Friday night was likewise fine.
The exhibition of this troupe
on Saturday night, was fully
RS good as the previous ones,
perhaps somewhat better. They
had very full houses during their
entire stay in Winnsboro, and those
who saw their performances will be
pleased to have them make our town
another visit.
One feature Of Friday's entertain
ment deserves special notice. It
WAS the personation of negroes by
Messrs. Mowry and Fletcher, two of
tho company. In most attempts to
reproduce negro sayings and repre-
sent negro character on tho stage,
any one acquainted with these sui.
jects, and closely observing tho ac-
tor, must be struck with tho differ
ence between the original and tho
imitation. Tho witty sayings, the
ready repartees, tho unnaturalness
of the language-being always either
exquisitely precise or absr,rdly in
corrcct--with the grinacos aud atti-
tudes OF the actor-all give an air of
unnaturalness to tho performance.
LII this part Of the Wildmans' enter
tainment tho observer could not
but be struck with the fidelity to
nature. The songs in imitation of
revival hymns, species of religious
exercises still very popular among
the colored poople, were perfect
imitation, in word, accent, and the
attitudes of the performers, of what
can at almost any time be heard in u
negro church. Altogether the rep
resentation was excellent, and while
it naturally provoked laugh, at the
same time excited admiration for
being quite truo to nature.

The CHRrsrMAs TREE.-The entor-
tainment given on Christmas Eve
by the ladies of the Methodist
Church, was in allrespocts crafty
ing success. Tho Christmas Tree
was loaded with gifts for the little
folks, and the distribution of these
was source of general diversion.
The tableaux and dialogues were
very creditable, both to the talent Of
the participants and the skill of the
ladies' under whose supervision
they wero prepared for the occasion.
Tho music, both vocal and instru-
mental, Was likewise excellent. The
audience was one Of the largest rs
sembled in Winnsboro in some time,
and We hope the entertainment was
financial success.
