IMPORTANT RAILROAD CASES

During the recent term of the Court OF
Common Pleas in Abbeviile, the cases OF
Dr. e. NJ. Brown and wife and Claudius
Brown vs.. the Greenville & Columbia Rail-
road Company; William II. Redwood ys.
the same, and William Cummings W.. the
same, were the cases OF greatest interest and
magnitude. The counsel for the various
Plaintiffs were Gen. s. MCGOWAN. Can't.
A. I. Broyles, Mai. John B. Moore, Col.
). q. g. Featheston and Mr.. w. C. Benet.
Gov. w. d. Simpson and Col. J. 8. Cotbran
represented the Railroad Company. The
subject of the action was damages claimed
by the Plaintiffs for injuries done them in
the accident which occurred near Rrcyies'
crossing in this County, two or three years
ago. The cases occupied two days of the
Court, and resulted in favor of the Plain.

A CARD.

Mr.. EDITOR: AS tho diminishing hos be-
gun for the fight for Senator and some
long-range guns at that are anticipated 10
belch forth their claims for that position,
we want TO find the man who raised, or
helped to raise, the Democracy from its In.
fancy after the close Of the late war, when
1t was almost out Of sight. Now, sir we
claim that Maj. John B. Moore was in the
number that helped to raise it, as it were,
from the dead. He has neye- backed ca.
as we call 1t, from meeting those Radical
ring-leaders at any place where he was
called on to meet them. He not only
stumped this County against them, and
condemned their thievishness, but you
will remember that he met then, ct our
State Capital in the legislative halls, and
tncFe stood firm. When Clay nor Calhoun
could have pleased the County his record
stands firm ard his character unspottcd.
Now, we claim that we want to work out
your motto, give honor to whom honor Is
due;" and in our judgment there ia no man
In Anderson that this honor could be more
justly conferred on than Mai. Moore, and
we hope the Democrats of Anderson will
unite with u.s. at our primary election and
help to confer this honor on him.

me-" In Democrats" communication
many other things were sai6, oil 20 the
point; and we all remember what deep
and abiding impression 1t had upon the
public mind. Township after township
responded to the call of Democrat" and
organized their clubs, and sent up their del
egates, elected County chat rman and an
executive committee, and from this the ball
continued to roll and the State was re-
deemed.
Now, Mr.. Editor, the advice then given
and urged by Democrat" is as valuable to-
day as 1t was then, and must now, as then,
Go adhered to, or defeat mus. attend our
efforts. The Radicals are not dead, neither
arc they asleep, but they are watchful and
wide awake, and IL by any chance on earth
they can control the State, they mean to do
It.
The position taken by VIM. d. Evins Is
indeed painful, and il adhered to will, with
out doubt, defeat the Democratic party in
the County at the next election. Let us
inlbibe the principles Of Democrat egain.
and all will be well, and we express desire
to hear from Democrat" onco more.

Mr.. EDITOR: If you will refer back to the

cember soth, 1875, you will find commu-

Are we to have one in the Slater" "Dem-
ocrat" urges that these questions should at
once engage the serious attention of every
Democrat in the County and State, and said
"a perfect understanding should be had at
an early day" Democrat" urges earnest
and thorough organization for the County
and State, which he declares would accom-
plish reform by dethroning the negro par
ty Of ,uth Carolina and their white allies
who were the direct cause and instruments
OF oil the oppression OF our peopie-by
asealing, robbery and plunder-and de-
clarcs his determination, If the party would

disasters by allowing the Republicans to
control Its actions, as IL did two years be-
fore, by preventing the party from nomina.

templated he advised against reorganization
but he earnestly advised and appealed to all

Tweed and Another.
From the New York SUM

From the New York Sun.
The voice of condemnation against
William Nj. Tweed is not huslied even
in the presence of death. All agree
that it should not he. His bier is
strewn, not with flowers, but with
shame. He breathed his last within
prison walls; no wire nor child
smoothed his dying pillow. Mercy
was not shown him living, and CON-
miseratiOn is withheld from him dead
For what reason is all this? Mr.. Tweed
was a man Of amiable and generous
parts, u man Of peace and not Of VIC,
lence.
1t is because he was a public robber.
or what did he rob the people2 OF
their money. Great was his offence,
and terribly did he expiate it-even
with his life, for it was his Imprison-
ment that killed him.
1t is known that MI. Tweed's rob-
berries amounted to millions Of dollars.
Is there anything belonging to the
hIlCllChh ptopiC h'oIC SaiuaoIc tIai
these millions of dollars2 There is
something held in higher estimation
something for the preservation Of which
we spent. between 1860 and 1865, an
amount Of money in comparison with
which the sum taken by Mr.. Tweed is
hardly worth thinking OF, and spent in
addition the more valuable treasure OF
hundreds Of thousands Of lives.
The precious possession is the RICH.
to govern ourselves, to have rulers OF
our choice, the choice of the
whole nation, and thus to preserve the
liberties of the people.
Now, there Is a man living who has
robbed the American people of this in
valuable right. He has prevented them
from having a Presiden, of their choice.
II you look in Ludlow street Jail you
will not find him there; and yet his
crime is greater than Tweed's. You
will not find him in any PRISON. You
will find him in the Executive Mansion,
more popularity known as the White
House, in Washington. His name is
Rutherford b, Hayes. II is q name
which deserves to be surrounded by
blacker lines than those hich enclose
the name Of William NJ. Tweed.

about 40 Of the number being negroes,
marched into town and surrounded the
jaiI. No masks, no boys, no liquor
They were all quiet, well armed and
determined, many Of them being well
known to the citizens Of Huntsville,
and standing high in their respective
communities. They dismounted and
went diligently TO work with sledge
hammers aud crowbars at forcing the
doors Of the Jail, and in half an houI
Mike White and two OF the negroes
(Eph, Hall aud Ben, Evans) were hand
cuHcd, marched through the town t.
the spring canal, about half n mile dis

they were dead. Before banging, tn
negroes reiterated their guilt at White
