Saturday last has the following: "On
Monday night rs some raftmen were
coming down Black Creek, Lexington
County, they noticed tho body of a man
i'll the water just below Bambeau's
Bridge. On examination in the road
near the bridge they noticed where ve-
hicle had come over from the Edgefield
side and turEed around. just where it
turned pool of blood was found. The
tracks Of the vehicle were traced six or
eight miles up the Edgefeld road and
then lost. The mans throat was cut.
1t is to be hoped that the guilty party
may be arrested, and meted out the lust
punishment the foul deed demands. We

proud to know that they were thus un-
mistakably identified with the Democrat
ic party, that too in the presence of Gov.
Hampton himself. No such pride and
laudable enthusiasme ever actuated their
hearts before, no such freedom ever fill
ed their bosoms with an honorable-a
self-approving ambition in the days of
their savish Republicanism, Two of
their old political masters, Bowen and
Iaft, were among the passengers, and
witnessed this grand demonstration of
freedom and political hope on the part of
their recent slaves and tools without n
word Of comment-with bowed heads
and sad hearts. 1t was to them the fun
eral service of the stinking Republican
corpse.
