seconds and surgeon, twenty armed Missis-

passengers watching with deep interest the
scene. The plan of fight was to exchange
shots twice with pistols and to close with
knives, Bowie being armed with his own
terrible weapon. At the first fire both par

was too quick and took advantage of Bowie,
who waited the word. At this Bowic's Sec

CRIME DIMINISHING, AND THE RreHrs on
ANTHEMS SECURE. ~~

at the time that we addressed note To
the Circuit Judges, asking them whether.
80 Tar as their knowledge extends there
has been, "since the iastallation of Cover.
ncr Hampton, diminution in the number
and degree OF crimes committed in Soutb
Carolina, especially of crimes committed bv
whites againis colored persons" We sent
similar noto to the Circuit Solicitors. While
the Judges have cognizance of onlv Tho
cases that come to trial, the Circuit Sol;c;tors

eignty Of the State and WELD, as it were, the
sword Of the Law, while the Judge on the
bench holds evenly the scales. Their re-
ports, therefore, are of the highest value. In
most of them will be found some interesting
special fact or suggestive comment. Brief.
ly ststed, with especial reference to the
questions Immediately before us, the re-
ports are % follows:
l.. Solicitor Jervey, Of the First Circuit.
the Couaties of Charleston and Orangeburp
reports that the number of cases turned
over to him by his predecessor in june.
1877 was 172. At tho November term there
were ia new cases, at Nh, Nbruary tcrdlt
1873, only 81 cases, and at the juno term
60 cases. This is for Charleston alone, and
shows decided diminution in tho "nun
Der" of offences. There is also q very deci
ded diminution in the "degree" of crimes,
since. Hampton's installation. At the june
term 1877, eight murder cases were triad
AT the three ensuing terms there we're, in
oil, only four cases of this character. There.
is likewise marked decrease in the mum.
Der of burglaries. In only two cases have
white men been charged with Offering
violence to colored citizen, and in one Of
these cases both the parties were Radicals.
and the cause of tho affray was what is
politely called "a domestic difficulty" In
the other case the defendant was acquitted.
Orangeburg has had no Sessions Court for
some time, owing to defective juries, but
there is little crime in proportion to the popu-
lation, and tho offences committed arc con.
fined almost entirely % the, colored4 people,

R1DaEwAY, s. c., Feb. %, 1875
A we'll planned attempt at incen-
diarism was made here last night,
by which Mr.. Grigsby came near
losing his store-house with his
entire stock. Mr.. Grigsby had q
quantity of rich light-wood for
stove use piled under one end of
his counter. Some person, proba~
bly, noticing this, went under the
store and bored an auger hole
directly under the light-wood, and
through this aperture stuffed sever
al handfuls of cotton thoroughly
saturated with turpentine, to which
was applied the match. Peter
Pickens, whose shoe shop is next
door, happening to come out on the
street, discovered blaze under the
store, and Immediately raised the
alarm. Mr.. Ross Williams, who
sleeps in the store, rushing out
with pan of water, extinguished
the flames, which had not progressed
far. The probability is that had
the hole been larger, or less tightly
stuffed with cotton, the flames
would have reached the light~wood
and spread inside the store, and
would thus have become uncoh-
trollable. There is as yet no clue
to the would-be incendiary. 4
We are panied to announce the
death of Daniel, infant son bof Mr..
w. A. Ruff, after a ,bhort illness,
from diphtheria.
A drunken negro, resisting arrest
tonight, WAS knocked down by
acting Intendant Grigsby, and
carried to the guard-houss, there
t. await his deserts. But probably
finding it tiresome, he set fire to
the house and, partly burning the
door, made his escape. This is q
species of arson and should receive
it's punishment. sat
