out, and placing her in front ofthe murderer,
the crowd called for her confession. She
said that she had been trying for three months
to poison her husband that Williams struck
him on the head with an axe while he was
asleep on Wednesday night, and afterwards
cut his throat. She assisted in destroying the
evidences of the murder and in burying him.
She accused herself of being the cause OF the
murder, but begged pitifully for life. Though
the feeling was very strong against her, and
the crowd voted unanimously for her execu-
ton, no man could be found who would put
the rope around woman's neck, and she was
returned to Jail. Williams body was left
hanging until it was cut down by the authori-
ties the next morning.

arrest of the defendant, and was also present
at the time of his receiving pistol shot, which
was purely accidental. Charles Simmons, the
main witness for the State, made a, full con-
fession upon the stand. His evidence was
substantially as follows: At 2 o'clock on Fri
day morning, 2lst instant, John Lilly, Green
Lee and himself entered Nh. Hardin's store,
and began the work of carrying off goods to
Lilly's house. With arms filled, three trips
were made by each one. On the following
night the stolen articles were carried by them
in the wagon of the defendant to the Clubhouse
of the defendant There the goods were
found. Lilly's guilt was so clear that the
jury had no alternative but to render YER
dict to that effect After his conviction,
Green Lee pleaded guilty. With the court
room crowded to its utmost capacity, sentence
was then imposed by Judge T. j. Mackey.
To John Lilly was given nine years in the
penitentiary, and to Green Lee three years in
the same institution. The thanks of this COM
munity are eminenty due the presiding Judge
for his promptness in bringing these thieves
to justice and putting them where they right

EDITORIAL INKLINGS.

Chamberlain and the Federal Administration
IF the Republicans of South Carolins
are in any doubt regarding the attitude of the
Federal Government toward Governor Cham
berlain in the present emergency, perhaps the
following editorial from the Washington
Chronicle-an administration organ-will
serve to enlighten them:
Governor Chamberlain, of South Carolina,
has been charged with turning somersault
into the lap Of the Democratic party. He
publishes letter denying the charge. After
a careful examination Of the facts, we have
no hesitation in saying that the Governor is
justified in the course he has pursued The
Immediate cause of the present difficulty be-
tween himself and his accusers is this: In his
absence, the Legislature elected the six Cir
cult Judges of the State, among whom were
two men of notoriously bad reputation, Moses
and Whipper. Governor Chamberlain, in
his letter, pronounces Moses, "according to
popular belief" to be "as infamous charac-
ter as ever, in any age, disgraced and prosti-
tuted public position" and adds that he is
"prepared to prove it." He has, in his own
State, repeatedly been denounced as a second
Tweed. One act of his public career is cited
in the Governors letter, in which it is shown
that Moses, disappointed in not being nomi'
mated for Governor, entered into conspiracy
with some of the leaders of the Democracy
and Independents to elect Chamberlain's op'
ponent, and actually sold out the Commission
ers of Election, of which he had the sole ap-
pointment, to Chamberlain's opponents, for
not "thirty pieces of silver" but $50, ,OOO-ot
which SIS, 1000 was paid in cash, and the bal.
ance was made contingent on the defeat OF
Chamberlain. This was the man Moses. The
other party, w. ]. Whipper, is a gambler by
open practice, and an embezzler of public
funds. He is as ignorant of law as he is des'
titute of morals; but yet he was elected by
the Legislature to the Judge of the Circuit
Court, for the district which includes the city
of Charleston, and the most important Circuit
in the State, in point of population, business
and wealth.
Thisis the pair of rascals whom Chamber
lain refused to commission, and for which
refusal he is accused of yielding to the
opportunities of the Democracy, and Of play
ing into their hands. If ever the Governor
did more righteous act in his life than that
of depriving these characters Of new opportu'

mites for increased practice in plundering the
Public, we should be pleased to hear it named.
He has done good many excellent things in
bis official capacity of Governor, but this
eclipses them all, and yet he is censured for
refusing to grant them their commissions. If
bis accusers have not become utterly ashamed
of themselves, let them show to the public
upon what ground they can sustain Moses
and Whipper, and condemn the Governor.
Speak out, gentlemen !; the columns of the
public press are open to afford you an oppor.
tunity to vindicate yourselves. Your attitude
is an awkward and unenviable one, while
Chamberlain stands before the public justified
in his act, and the guardian of the public in
terests.

PROGRESS OF THE RAILROAD.

Last week Superintendent Thomas placed
a locomotive on the Chester and Lenoir Mar
row Gauge Railroad at the intersection of the
road with the Airline, at which point the
work of track-laying had been previously
commenced. Up to this time near three miles
of the track have been laid. We learn that
arrangements have been made for securing
nearly all the cross-ties required for laying
the track between this place and the Air
Line railroad, and without untoward delay
the work will be completed by the 1st Of
April next After the completion of the road
from the Airline 10 this place, it is the in
tention to Immediately extend the track from
the Airline to Dallas-a distance of three
m;les-for which the iron. has already heen
secured. The work of grading the road-bed
between Dallas and Lincolnton is progressing
as satisfactorily as could be expected, the
heaviest work between those points having
been completed.
