menaced him until he was forced to de-
sist. He subsequently made affidavit Of
this fact, together with some circumstances
connected with tho first meeting, and four
Of those who had interfered with him were
arrested by the United States marshal. The
names Of the witnesses were given to the
law officers of the Government, and then
the trial justice of the place set himself to
work TO have CoGHLAN and DISGLE, two Of
the witnesses, arrested on peace bonds, and,
in default of bail, they were lodged in jail
Mr.. CoGnLAS was subsequently arrested on
q charge first of having assaulted one Of
his assailants, who had been arrested, and
lie is now, ten o'clock at night, about
fifteen miles in the country, where he
was taken 10 answer the charge. There
are five other warrants known to be
ready in the hands Of constables
to take Mr.. CooHLAN to various remote Sec
tions OF the country to annoy him and in
duce him to withdraw his complaints against
the bull-dozers of that county. Three other
witnesses who were to be summoned were
arrested and lodged in Jail on peace bonds.
It Is expected that Mr.. NoRTnRoP will test
the question of getting tho witnesses before
the Commissioner. The cases are to be ex-
amined before W. II. MARSHALL as Com
missioner. They ought to have Northern
reporter there for the Northern press.

RARE FEAT OF MESDACIry.

No one, not even the author himself,
could have read the double loaded editorial
in the Democratic organ known as the Post.
erior, of Saturday, on the condition of af-
fairs in South Caroline, without u feeling of
disgust, ii not of alarm, that journalism
should have found so low an estate in this
era of our history. That effort may, as a
work of pure fiction, be regarded as a sue
cess, while as a chapter of truthful history
it was miserable failure, The paper pro-
ducing ii must have been Conceived in sin
" and brought forth in iniquity," to have
achieved such eminenCe in brief career
of foolish and shameless peryersion OF the
truth. The article to which we allude,
relating to the political situation at Sum
ter, for brazen impudence and uublushing
lllsehoOd challenges the best efforts OF
MEPHIsTOPHELEs himself, who, in common
acceptatiOn Is counted the father of lies and
the prince of liars. That article specifically
charges that the Republican Congressional
Committee, that has been in session in
this city for several months, furnished
the means to purchase three thousand
rifles, with which to arm the COlOred Re-
publicans, who were 10 meet at Sumter, s.
C., on the 10Th instant, when ii would have
been quite as truthful had it stated the
number at three hundred thousand. 1t
stated also that the Republicans oi
Sumter had given public notice that
GRANT SHERMAN, and HAYES wcuid
be present and address the i,eople at
that time, and that such EOtice was given
for the purpose of attracting large num-
Der Of Republicans to be present upon that
occasion, aud with view to provoking q
collision with the red shirt rifle clubs who
are now managing and controlling the
political canvass in South Carolina.
Other equally silly and mendacious asser-
tions were woven into the article 10 which
we allude for tho purpose either of de-
ceiving the public or of gratifying the ambi-
tion of the writer to become the cham
pion falsiicr in America Then, we
suppose, double leading was resorted to in
the belief that filsehood well spread out
and displayed would be more impressive
