NEW YORK DAILY TRIBUNE TUESDAY, JULY 49, 1876

"cannot be justified; but the negroes sowed
"the wind and reaped the whirlwind;" but
the Acknowledgement says that the original de-
mand for arms was unlawful; that the attack
on the militia to compel a compliance with
the demand was without legal excuse or justiii-
cation. He declares that to the crime OF MUIR
der the whites added that of robbery, and
that they were only kept from committing ar
son by the efforts of their own leaders.
Comment on transaction like this Is
hardly necessary. The worst crime OF the
negroes seems to have been insolcnce, and this
il what Gen. Butler refers to when he says
that "they sowed the wind and reaped the
"whirlwind' The point mainly demonstrated
is that in the present condition OF certain
parts of the South any trifling event may
provoke a collision, and any collision be fol-
lowed by a massacre. Both whites ana
blacks are always ready for battle; but If
there he superior intelligence upon either side,
upon that side the burden of blame must fall.
at the same time nothing will be gained by
snch attempts as that of Mr.. Cox in the House
of REPRESENTATIVES on Saturday to excuse the
murder of these negro prisoners. We have no
hone of peace, ORDER and good government
in South Carolina, or in any Southern State
similarly situated, until both political parties
abandon the bad habit of making every dis
turbanoe the occasion of cheap electioneerlng

B1NE.S IND BUSINESS.

The bank statement for last week indicates
no important changes, unless the small IN
crease of deposits, cOntrasted with the decrease
of 81, 600, 200 in loans is interpreted as eyl-
dence OF a considerable sale of bonds by the
banks. Naturally the specie average falls,
after the large increase following July pay
mcnts of interest, but the decline, amounting
TO %1,210,JOO, is balanced by gain OF
81 10000 in legal tenders, so that
there is scarcely any change III the agsre-
gate reserve. The lega-tendcr average
remains unusually low for this season.
and some apprehension is now expressed that
the weaker banks may not sufficiently foitliy
themselves for The drain incident to opera
| tons III tie Fall.
Business in all parts of the country is de-
cidcdly limited in volume. Reports OF the
grlin movement do not show that the rapid
increase in receipts OF corn at Phliddclphla
has been maintained, and, while Baltimore
has gained little this city secures better
share Of the traffic than it did month
ago Tho coal traffic is decidedly dull, the
q,lantiy sent from Pennsylvania regions last
week being only 243,3s5 tons, against 3ll,O7O
tons for the corresponding week last year
Shipments fog the year thus far, however, are
considerably in advance of those i'll 1910
duIiu. the same months, The excess at the
close ci las, week being J19,Ss6 tons. Rail
way earnings are reported less promptly than
they were earlier in the season, and the tar
dircss ~ many rerorts is naturally attributed
10 diminished earnings. Those reporting for
the whole ur n part of June, however,
are twrn'y-ouc in number, and their earnings
during the month, or the weeks reported were
$C,li7Slg, against %5.7l5,75O during the
same weeks last year, gain of seven per
cent. \ large part Of this gam. however, Is
due lo the Chicago, Milwaukee and ST. Paul,
which !, row relieved from the oppressive
Granger Law, and gains in june $4,000,
aud the A.chison, Topeka and Santa Fr, which
hl4 recently completed its western extension,
ana gain, about $4,000. Few of the other
roads gain materially, and several lose.
Trade in this city is not expected TO bc
active at this season, but in some branches 1t,
d..lucs, is remarkable. On the Stock Exchange
the transactions have been exceedingly light,
sales of stocks since July ! amounting TO only
500, rs shares, against l,152,Ol9 shares dur
ing the corresponding weeks last year. Ia
some Other branches, however, business Is
quite ~ large ~ is usual AT this season and
1t is worthy Of notc that the aggregate clear
ings thus far i'm July have been over SOIL
Gee, OOO against f76l,OOO,OOO during the
same .cLs last year; a change which, IN view
of the decline Of prices and of stock trans
actions. Indicates that the volume of other
business, measured in quantities exchanged,
has hot materially declined.

THE B1uBrRG Is. c. MASSACRE.

We have waited before discussing the recent
TRAGEDY at Hamburg, 5. c., until all the facts
sboun be in our possession We have now the
statement of Gen. VI. c. Butler, who was &C
tive in the trouble; the report OF the At
torncy-Gencral OF South Carolina, Mr.. Stone;
IN elaborate statement Of the circumstances
BIZ Gov. Chamberlain; and a suggestive letter
,howinc the underlying causes of the riot, from
our Washington correspondent. Succinctly
given, the f.cts are as follows: On the
Fourth of July, at Hamburg, two young
men who were riding through the streets
on their way home were detained by
military cOlored company, the soldiers
threatening to keep them all night APP
plicatiOn was made the next day to JUS
tee, Prince Rivers, for an investigation of the
right of the militia to block up the highway. The
nature of thc Judicial proceedings is somewhat
indefinitely given, for the Justice being asked
by Gen. Butler whether he was sitting as Il
civil or military officer replied that II depended
upon the facts as they should be developed;
that he was then acting IA "A peace officer.
The coorcd captain, Adams, was 50 violent
that the Justice committed him for contempt.
His trial was TO take place the next day, but
he failed TO appear In fact, he was at large,
and with his company upon the street Gen.
Butler had n conference with negro man
named Gardner and suggested rs the best so
luton Of the matter that the blacks should
give up their arms but they absolutely re-
fused to do this when il was suggested to
them. Nor does the demand seem To have been
backed by any particular authority diSarm-
ing was only proposed as citizen by Gen. Butler
The whites began 10 assemble. The negroes
announced their determination of fighting, and
speedily the fight cnsued The blacks posted
themselves in their drill-rOoms in a brick
building. They fred from the windows ;
the whites responded; and the iusillade be-
came general. Mr. Meniweather, an cStimablc
young white man, was killed. This Infatuated
the white crowd, which Gen. Butler says was
under the special command of nobody. A
piccO of artillery was brought from Augusta,
which sicnccd the negroes, fifteen of whom
were captured. OF these five were muir
dorcd after they had been taken into
custody; and three negroes fell III the
fight. One white man was killed and
one wounded. For the killing of the prison.
crs there seems TO have been no excuse Gen.
Butler says rather unsatisfactory: Many
"thipgs were done on that eventual day which

LIGHTNING ITTRlCTORS.

The numerous casualties by lightning strokes
this season have attracted popular attention.
The total number for the year may not exceed
the average, but it seems larger than usual
because chiefly concentrated within few days.
Long spells of hot weather are apt to be di-
vcrsihed by thunder showers, and there have
been i'll other years frequent instances where
for week or two each day of oppressive heat
would close with brief, sharp rainfall and
considerable electric display. But the three
weeks of hot weather we recently experienced
were singulaTly free from thunder showers till
toward their close and then there was light
ming enough, all at once, to have served for
several ordinary occasions. Exactly why hot
weather is apt to be followed by showers with
lightning has never been fully explained. A
scientific theory was long ago preached, and
ably supported, that attributed the disturbance
of electrical equipoise to the same cause "a
that which brings the Summer showcr-the pro-
cess of evaporation from the land and sea.
But more careful. research aftegward told
