SOUTH CAROLINA POLITICS.

District Attorney N0rthfOp N
Washington-What he says abOul
south Carolina POliaics.
District Attorney Northrup, Of South
Carolina, is In Washington. He says
that notw withstanning the two or three
cases Of political shooting OF which the
North has heard lately, matters are in
the main remarkably quiet for South
Carolina. ..
A singular condition Of affairs exists
there. The courts are wholly under
the control Of the Democrats, and Re-
publican has no chance whatever Of
0btaining justice when any political
question is involved. They are thus
entirely helpless, or would be II the
Democrats dared to carry ont their
wishes. 1t is openly remarked among
them, however, that Northern ssnti-
ment will no longer endure the out
RACES which have made South Carolina
solidly Democratic, and that swif,
retribution is in store for them II the
outrages Of the last Congressional can.
vass should bs repeated.
This fact alone serves TO protect Re
publicans in some OF their political
rights, and it has been sufficient, MIR.
Northrup declares, to inspire them with
great confidence in the future. They
are becoming thoroughly organized in
all parts of the State, and from present
appearances he believes they will poll
their full vote in at least three of the
Congressional Districts at the next elec.
ton. He believes that this will most
certainly secure the return Of Republi.
can congressman.
Another encouraging sign is seen in
the agitation over municipal affairs in
Charleston, and this, in fact, is the
thing that most engrosses public atten-
tion just now. There are two candi-
dates for the Msyoraity, both Demo
Gratis. The regular nomination, how
ever, has not yet been made in the
primaries, and the question now is
whether to allow the colored men to
vote in the primaries or not. This is,
in fact the whole question, although
the torn Of an election will be gone
through with later.
Mr.. Northrup describes Nix, the col
ored postmaster who was recently shot
at at Blackville, as most resolute and
plucky Republican, while Luther
White, who fired the shot, is desper-
ado and has been implicated in all the
0utrages which have occurred in Barn.
well County for years. Mr.. Northrup
believes that there is no other side to
the story than that already made pub
lie. As the State authorities are doing
nothing in regard to the matter, ar
rangements are being made by the
Federal authorities to arrest White and
bring him to trial.
Mr.. Northrup is native South Caro-
linian whose Republicanism has been
considered somewhat conservative in
character. He now declares himself
thoroughly in sympathy with the stall
wart members of the party, and be.
lieves that only by the triumph of
their views is the South to be reclaim
ed.

The two colored men who recently
arrived at Washington as agents Of ths
colored people Of the Second Congress.
sional District Of North Carolina, and
whose statements OF hardships that
prompt the colored people to smigrate
have been published, say that their
statements have somewhat stirred up
ths white people in their section Of the
country. w fr0
They have received letters from col
ored friend in North Carolina, telling
them that II would not BE- safe to return
home just yet, as the whites are highly
iucensed, and threaten to do violence
TO the two agents for having expressed
themselves so freely regarding the con-
dition of their people In the South. In
tslligence has also been received Of q
stratagem on the part Of the whites to
prevent the threatened exodus this fall.
They propose to keep back the money
due to the colored people, and to pur-
chase cotton and other crops upon cred
1t, or for scrip only. In cases where
eolored men rent farms, the landlords
will not consent to the sale Of the crops
until they receive their one-third rent,
and will decline to receive their por-
tions for several months to come, whlch,
under the Landlord and Tenant act,
passed for their special benefit, they
have a perfect right TO do. By thus
Withholding from the colored people
their just dues, they hope to keep
them penniless and defeat the emigra-
tion movement, the probability Of
which is causing undisguised alarm in
the South.

The New York Tribune" Of Mon
day, says: DR.. Simpson, physi.
clan, who resided for nearly forty years
in the South, but who has been driven
away by the Southern Democrats, ad'
dressed the members Of the Sloan (col'
ored) Presbyterian Church, Brooklyn
yesterday. He was until recently,
citizen Of Western Texas, where h
owned some property. The shooting
Of several colorsd Republicans near bis
home led to his writing to the Attorney
General to know If some protection
could be given that class Of citizens.-
A meeting was called, aud he read the
letter he had received from the Attor'
ney General. For this he was seized
the meeting was broken up, and sew.
eral oolorsd men were killed.
He was imprisoned in an iron cage,
stripped OF all his clothing, and
he escaped only through the in
tervention of a friend. He rode
and walked for several hundred
miles, most of the way without shoes,
to reach a point from which he could
safely embark for the North. When
he got to Washington he saw the Pres
ident, and told him Of his trials. The
President expressed his regrets thai
such things should be, but could ofel
him no help. He saw Mrs. Chisolm
there. He then came to New York
and was sick from his treatment and
exposure for long time, and says he
owes his life to the kindness of Dr.
Willard Parker and others. He hai
lost his home and everything, and il
now, in his old age, a penniless old
man.
While in Washington, DR.. Simpson
said he saw the records Of the Ku
Klux murders, between $4,000 and
IA, 900 in number. All the Ku Klux
ere ont of prison nos, what few were
left having been pardoned out, and
they have gone back, he said ,and are az
we'll organized as ever under the name
OF the Iuvincible Empire. The discip-
line is 50 thorough that they have on
ly to designate certain man to be
put out Of the way, as was Dixon, in
Mississippi, and his death is sure to
follow. The speaker said ne got along
very we'll in the South until the recon-
structioni came, and the failure of the
government to maintain the Fourteenth
and Fifteenth Amendments, and since
then in the greater part Of the South it
has been impossible for a Union man
or Republican to express his opinion.
1t is the direct result Of the teachings
Of the school of Jefferson Davis, the
man who claims that q Southern wo-
man was never reconstructed. The
position of the colored women in the
town, in Texas where he lived, he said
was simply unspeakable, and the half
had never been told. The manner in
which they were treated by white ruff
fans, with drawn revolvers, was:almost
incredible in its brutality. He advised
his audience to get the Tribune extra
and read Of the treatment Of Mrs. CHS
Olm.

New CASTLE COUNTY. D. D.
On this lst day Of October, 1879, per-
sonally appeared before me William Il.
Brady, Justice Of the Peace, in and for
New Castle county, Louis P. Lynch, Who
having been duly sworn according to
law deposes and says: That he is
Street Commissioner of the City OF Will
mington, and that the construction
placed on any conversation that occur
red between himself and Robert Brown
in reference TO the construction Of Stall
cup Run Sewer is a complete fabrica-
tion and false in every particular, and
further that he has repeatedly found
fault with the manner in which the
walls of said sewer were built, and that
the City surveyor in consequence never
approved Of the job, brt on the contrary
admitted that the work was an inferior
job and not In conformity with the
specifications. 30 far as the matter Of
having him to "post his men," in.
formed him II l caught his men laying
stone without cement, that would rot
approve Of his bills. And deponent
further says that nooonversation ever
occurred between him and Robert
Brown in relation to improve
ment at his private residence such
as stone steps or coping, as Mr.. Butcher
did the work for me as never knew
that Brown understood the business.
So far as making any proposition to
Mr.. Brown, l dc most emphatically pro-
nounce any such assertion on his part
to be falsehood and devoid Of truth.

A PECULIAR CASE.
Maksn Out . Case Any hOw--Sam
mel aulk's Hard kOw.

Samuel Caulk, colored, one of the
witnesses for the prosecution in the
Mitchell cutting case, was ordered into
the dock at the close of that case, and
given hearing upon the charge of dis.
orderly conduct.
Clara Jones, colored, who appeared
70 be the prosecutrix in the case made
arambling statement that had no point
Or evidence in it whatever. She stated
that the prisoner had refused to speak
to her when she met him on the street,
and she had told him she supposed he
was above speaking to "niggers." She
then went ON to say that Samuel had
"cussed' and had said something about
somebody being b-h. 1t was plainly
evident that Clara did not have very
strong foundation on which to build her
case.
Patrick McGarrity, Clara's employer,
then took the stand; he knew nothing
Of the case, had not heard Caulk talking
to Clara, but the latter had told him
that Samuel called her bad names. He
tu0u "6ub Ou w obdtO bhot SoniuCl Las
cursed him frequently and had bother
ed him in several ways.
Caulk then asked McGarrity, wheth-
or he had not owed him money for work
he had done for him, and also whether
he had been near him since he finally
paid him. To this McGarrity msde no
reply. Although Samuel Caulk was
being tried upon the charge of disorder
ly conduct, for using abusive language
towards Clara Jones, Mr.. Mccarthy
went on to state what he had done in
times gone by.
Samuel in his defence stated that as
far as Mr.. McGarrity was concerned he
had been compelled to go there fire.
quently to get some wages which Mr..
MoGarrity owed him, and which he had
some trouble in getting. Since he had
succeeded in getting his money he had
aot bothered Mccarthy in any way.
But the Squire who Of course was
Judge in the matter fined Caulk 81 and
SOsts.

son had q hearing before Recorder Lane
OF Philadelphia and was held In $2,5OO

sented at the hearing were that in S. D.

tisement for loan and partner. Rice
visited Richardson, secured a position
as an assistant for his son -in-law, Wal.

that the latter would eventually be-
come partner, and loaned the accused

was worth sl25, 900 in real estate, and

BY the production ofa real estate ex-
pert II was shown that the valuations
which were given by Richardson of his
properties were preposterously exces-
sive, although the acknowledgement
was made that a paper from the latter
In which these valuations were given,
was not prepared until after the loan
had been made, and that Rice had ex-
amined the properties mortgaged for
his security before paying over the mon
ey.
During a cross examination Of Rice he
saidthat he had never sued out the mort
cages, and that he loaned the money
more on the strength Of Richardson's
