THE MURDERS AT HAMBURG. s. CA.
foTney General Stones RepOrt.-The Column
bia IS. c. Union Herald prints the report
made by Hon. VIM. Stone, attorney general
OF South Carolina, to Governor Cham Der
lain, giving full statement of the murder
OF negroes by lawless white men st Ham
burg. The most noteworthy points in the
report are the statements that none of the
negroes captured had arms In their hands;
that the whites commenced the firing; that
John Swaripgen of Edgeneld, had charge of
the prisoners; that the primary object of the
whites was to disarm the militia, and that
he recognizes General NJ. G. Butler as hav-
Ing been In command throughout Toe same
origin of the difficulty is given. The report
concludes as follows: sit may be possible
that careful judicial Investigation may
show some slight errors in some of the minor
details stated In this report; but, making
due allowance for such errors, the facts
show the demand on the militia to give up
their arms was made by persons without
lawful authority to enforce such demand, or
to receive the arms had they been surren-
dered; that the attack on the militia to COM
pei a compliance with this demand was
without legal excuse or Justification; and
that after there had been some twenty or
twenty I'VE prisoners captured and COM
pletely In the power OF their captors, and
ance, five of them were deliberately shot to
death and three more severely wounded. 1t
further appears that, not content with thus
satisfying their vengeance, many Of the
crowd added to their guilt the crime OF rob-
berry OF defenceless people, and were only
prevented from arson by the efforts OF their
own leaders,"

boat on the Whitelock Spring level to get

heard or Alexander until hts body was found
at lock No. %, where it had drifted. The
body was brui:ed considerably, and 1t is not
known Ia what manner he met his death,
but IL Is supposed by drowning. The boat
was teles iaphed for, and when IL returned

O'Clock, Brengles ice cream saloon was en-
tered Dy unknown parties, who gained access
oy the rear way, and robbed the money

TRoU BILE IN A CoNGREGATIoN.-Se
months ago the corner stone of Mount Zion
church, colored frame building, located in

posing ceremonies, and the sum of $50 SUBJ
scribed toward the completion OF the build.
ing. AS the building remained in statu quo.
several of the subscribers instituted inoui.
ries as to what had become of the MONEY
and were told by the pastor, Rev. r. 8. Laws,
colored, that it had been put In the corner
stone. Several OF the inquirers proceeded q
Few days since to resurrect the stone, and
upon opening 1t found only a few specimens
OF fractional currency and some newspapers.
The question as TO what has become OF that
$50 remains an open one, and Will probably
lead to some complications and misunder-
standings in the fold.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
The District Apscfutments,

TREASURY DEPARTMENT, July Is, 'I6.
Editor So:-I suppose, OF course, in max.
Ing a reduction OF force In the several de-
partments those OF rs poor unfortunate dew
lis appointed FROM this District will be the
nrst 10 be removed, because of the large per-
eentage credited tunjustly) 70 the District OF
Columbia.
This question presents itself to my mind:
How did so many Of these ladies and gentle-
men get their appointments? Was It not
through these very members OF Congress who
are SO clarnorous for their removaR
am under the impression that IL only the
bona fde appointments made from the Dis
trict OF Columbia were counted, there would
not be one above our quota of bona f;fs resi-
dents now in the departments. 1t Is a well
known fact that many OF those who are cred.
tied TO the District OF Columbia are citizens
OF the states, who, while they may not vote
there, would In the event Of their removal
from Office leave Washington and 60 home.
In many cases appointments were made
through the influence OF members OF Con-
gress boarding In the house, These have all
been credited to our poor District. II these
transient citizens are counted. IL Is doing The
actual citizen great Injustice.
Alas! our poor unfortunate DISTRICT May
the Lord have mercy on 1t! / wish, Mr..
Editor, you would cali the attention OF the
powers that be to the above fact, aud oblige

A SIGNAL-SEvIcE RoNANcE.-l heard
couple of days ago hitherto unpublished ro-
nance connected with the life of one OF the
most prominent officials of the Signal-Ser-
vice Bureau. He was, NV informant states,
engaged to be married to a lovely, charming,
and wealthy girl. Tne eve of the wedding
had dawned-if an eve can dawn-and they
were occupying the same rocking-chair. and
talking as namely as only lovers can talk
when the fair one said
ALBERT, duckey, there's one thing wish
you to do when you are married"
Name it, lovely" he replied.
THAT is, pretty, to have no rain on Mon
days, because you know, darling, that Mon
day is washing-dsy. and If the things are
not washed and dried then, the weeks work
is so fearfuly put back. You will won't
you, my owny?'
This Young mans heart was torn, but he
replied "Maud. dearest my duty to my bleed
ing country demands that shall wnoop her
up the precise sort of weather that Heaven
will probably send impsriially during the
next twenty-four hours upon the just and
unjust, without regard to age, sex, or previ-
Gus condition of servitude. Ii an area OF
borometric disturbance exists in the Middle
States on Monday, how can consistently
with my duty declare that the probabilities
favor clear weather, with light winds from
the southeast? No, angel. ask me anything
| but that could not love thee, dea-, 80
| darn much, loved not honor more"
"Then do you not love me?" she sobbed,
bursting into tears.

they progressed to a quarrel and parted

The clothes he had on went 10 show that
he was from the far West, and his voice had
that springy, nasal twang which only the
pure climate Of Colorado can give. He halt
ed once or twice on his way up from the Cen
tral depot, looked at some machinery and
salt barrels. and he walked twice around the
postoihce without going in. The bOot-black
who wanted 10 shine him up was coldly re-
pulsed, and the fruit dealer who wanted to
sell him some cocoanuts at wholesale figures
was invited to step outside the city limits
and get licked. The boys thought they had
q character on the string until he shook one
out OF his coat, and then they quit follow
ing him around lie crossed over TO Wood
ward avenue, and on the wall Of store be
saw the poster published by church which
Is to give a festival on ST. Johns day. Ii
took him long time to make out tue bill,
and when he had finised he entered the store,
placed bis rusty old hat on a showcase, and
said to one Of the clerks
Il sec something out here about St.
John"
YES, on the poster" replied the clerk.
Does he live here ?" asked the stranger.
"Why, no-he lived many years ago

Mrs. ST. John or not %
NO, don't"
ia like to knov what his business was -
continued the old man as he placed bolt Of
calico on the stool to make softer seat.
I'm very busy this morning" replied the
clerk. land I'm not very well posted on him
anyhow"
'Sir :" exclaimed the old man, pointing
his finger over the counter, 81 am an old
man, seeking information. I'm talking
civil and trying to behave myself. I've got
a sudden streak on to find out all about him
or some ones heels viii break some one

One of the cash boys went out and secured
: an officer, who put the old man out, but
didn't discourage him at all. He walked
down to the next corner, collared street
car driver who had Just been discharged, and
inquired
Did YOU ever hear of St. John ?"
E."Yes, sir, and St. Joe. and ST. Thomas

"Was this St. John all right, did he pay
