GOOD FOR FIVE YEARS.
Another Radical Congressman Prob
ably en- Route to the Penitentiary.


Columbia (s. c. Special to Cincinnati En-
quirer.
The sensation in Columbia to-da,
has been the arrival of Smalls, the
nero Congressman from the Fiftl
(or Bedford) District, this State, il
custody of a Constable, to answer
the charge of having received 6
bribe of $4,000 from Woodruff, the
head devil of the Republican Print
ing Company, for voting while a
State Senator for the stealing bill OF
that company, whereby the State
was robbed of half a million dol
lars. Smalls appeared in the custo
dy of a Constable before Justice
Marshall, and waived an examina-
ton until Monday. He says he ex-
poets to spend five years in the pen
itentiary, and does not even intend
to deny his guilt. When the war
broke out Smalls was the trusted
Captain of steamboat belonging to
a Southern gentleman, who was the
owner of the present Congressman.
He professed to be a great believer
in Southern institutions, and daily
denounced the people of the North
for waging a war upon the South.
He was believed by his owner, who
trusted him as implicitly as he
would a white man, and no citizen
of South Carolina was freer or pos
sessed of more liberties than
Smalls. But one bright day in
1862, with the fondest expressions
of love for the cause of the South,
he was intrusted with an important
and allowed to 60 with his
boat to the enemy's lines. Once
there, he turned over his boat and
contents to the Federal authorities,
and after the war returned to South
Carolina and waged a bitter war
against the white people of the
State. He has been mixed up with
all the rascality of the thieves who
have ruled this province so long.
Congress will hardly be annoyed by
him much longer, as the evidence
against him for taking hundreds of
Dribes during his career as a politi-
cian cannot be disputed.
A negro Senator from Marlboro
one Maxwell, who is known
as the "Duke of Marlboro" arrived |
n town tonight in the custody of
IN officer. He is charged by the
with downright stealing,
md the proof is said to be clear
against him, his own pals turning
States evidence against him. The
Mills of the gods are grinding.
