ATTEMPT TO Observation-Disclosures Register.
9th says: IN Friday evening last about !.
Q clock, and before the stores had been
closed IL tile town Of Lexington, a party OF
ABOUT htty or seyenty-fve mounted men
rooe mp 70 the jail It that place. called for
The sheriff and demanded the surrender Of
the coIored man who had been imprisoned
there CT the charge Of being the murderer
Of Mr. Hook. They were not masked. and
their demcaaor was very quiet and deter
named. The sheriff Informed them tina.
the man they sought was not there. but
they insisted on proof Of that fact. Their
committee were then taken into the Jail
nnd shown the receipt Of the superintcn-
lent OF the penitentiary for the body Of the
negro. The party then quietly withdrew
and rode out Of town, making no demon
s%tratlon, except the firing OF one or two
pistols They had come through Main
street from the upper part Of the village.
ana their approach was very sudden and
quiet. The residents expressed great in
dlgnatlon at this demonstration and saw
that the prisoner shall and will have a fair
trial according to law. 1t is believed that
a jury will do exact justice in the case when
it comes before them.
Young Hook it was whose dead body
was found about three weeks ago on the
track Of the Charlotte, Columbia 4 Angus
ta Railroad, between Lexington and Gil
bert Hollow. 1t had been sought to create
the impression that ne had been killed by
q train, but there was good evidence that he
had been killed and his body afterwards
placed on the track to ward off supicion.
and this negro was suspected, arrested and
jailed.

Senator Vance was at Cheraw, S. c., on
Thursday, in attendance upon the Agricul-
tural and Mechanical Fair. He was most
enthusiastically received and entertained.
We copy from a letter in the Charleston
Ns,rs and Courier:
AT | o'clock Senator Vance addressed
the anxious crowd. His subject was that of
agriculture, its power and influence upon
the prosperity and happiness of the nation.
The address was replete with philosophical
thought and practical advice to those who
till the soil.
Tonight the Senator lectured on the po-
itical situation, reviewing the history of the
country and the tendency of the Republican
party to centralize the government and form
a despotism. He believed that this would
never be consummated, that General Grant
might be the nominee of the Republican
party, but would never be President again.
He said a desperate effort would be made in
1880 TO wrest this State from the control of
the Democrats, and that South Carolina
should be the last State IN the South to
break the Democratic column, but should re-
main solid and inyincible. He was hopeful
that in 1880 a Democratic President would
be elected, and gave convincing reasons for
the faith that was in him. He expressed
no preference for any man as the nominee
OF the Democratic party"

CREMATED ALIyE-A HORRIBLE DEATH.
A Richmond, Va. special telegram says
Yesterday James L. Nash, q well-to-do far
mer living in Henrico county. came to
Richmond and got on a spree. He return
ed home last night pretty full of liquor,
and went to the stable and put his horse
away. He then went to the fodder house,
a small log building, to get some fodder for
his horse. He carried a candle with him.
The fodder house was entered by means of a
very small door. By some means, after
the unfortunate farmer had opened the
door, he dropped the candle in the fodder,
igniting it at once. In his drunken stupid
ity he overturned a heavy bale Of hay,
which rolled against the small doer, shut
ting it and closing it completely.
The fodder blazed at once. and the man
in the midst of a blazing furnace slowly
roasting alive. His screams brought his
agonized wife and children to the scene but
they could not force open the small door
which had a mass of bales of hay jammed
against it. The house being built
of log. they could not effect al en-
trance by knocking down the sides.
Through the large cracks between the logs
they could see the man burning alive, and
his contortions were horrible to look upon.
Surrounded by fire. with his clothes blaz-
inc. he was soon sobered by his Intense sui
fering, lifting bales CT the burning stuff IN
his hands in his endeayors to clear the Way
to the door. At first lis hair blazcd; then
they saw his eye-balls burst open from the
intense heat, and he fell to the floor.
In his screams Of agony before he fell be
cried for stwater, water.' and he saw the
small crowd outside and screamed: ."What
are YOU all standing there for when | am
burning: Help me, for God sake?" Very
soon after he tell his sufferings ended in
death. but not before both his arms had
been completely burned off. This morning
all that was taken from the ruins Of the
fodder-house was the headless trunk of what
had been a man.

Charlotte OJserrcr: Mrs. Robt. A. Ram
say, of Iredell county, met with a ~tearfully
horrible death day before yesterday. She
and a young man were driving home from
Davidson College in a jersey wagon. Just
after turning the hill near John Reeds mill,
the horses began to run. The road is very
rough just at this point, and the vehicle had
only proceeded a short distance before Mrs.
Ramsay was thrown forward out of the wa
CON. By a singular fatality, Just as her
body was underneath tbs front axle of the
hicle was thrown down upon her. The ac-
cident did not stop or even check the flight
of the horses, and the unfortunate woman
was dragged over a quarter of a mile and
across a stream with her face downward.
Il saw her a few moments after the acci-
dent said our informant, land never wit
messed a more horrible and slckening sight
since l left Lees army" The poor woman
lived three or four hours after the accident,
in the most acute suffering, finally succumb-
ing about 9 o'clock at night. The deceased
woman was a sister-in-law of Mr.. +. A. Nc
Ninch, of this city.

Well, for nearly fifteen years, we have
vainly stTivcn to conciliate; we have tried
this thing and tried the other thing; we
have taken this counsel and followed that
advice; we have done ali hat we could and
all that we should, and still the dagger
points to our hearts, while the harmonious
cry Of ''let Us have peace still rings in the
ear what shall we do!-We say ''edt no
more dirt, " though the hea7ens fall. Let
Us mind our own business. Let Us attend
to our own resources. Let Us make our own
cotton, and manufacture Our own cotton.
Let us become materially Independent. If
the North Will not make peace, let us make
peace. Let them rave their conventions
and make their Presidents. Let them de-
post their ballots and elect their Con
crosses. Let them onact Their laws and
levy their taxes. Let them create their Of
