master general, dated September Goth,
that he applied to the town authorities
for assistance and was refused, absolute
ly false. He did not apply for assistance,
(tbe marshal at that time being at home
on side street,) but assumed, pistol III
hand in the streets, to fight his way re-
gardless of the lives of the citizens. On
the other hand the town marshal was
sent for to make arrests, but Williams
had left, or was leaving, on horseback,
and Nix had become quiet.
Tho parties will be summoned the first
opportunity to appear before Council for

rosTNAsrER-aENERA KEYS OPINION.
Washington Special 10 the Nc'r York World.
called this evening upon Postmaster
General Key. His views should have at
least as much weight as those of the Rad
ical papers. 1--WE have but one-sided
story" he said, and intend to know the
case fully. From what have heard I
should Judge that, under similar circum-
stances, tho same thing might happen in
any Northern town. Nix is negro and
the whites don't want him in office. Had
the community been an ordinary one,
probably he would not have been ap-
pointed, but the population of Blackvillc
is largely colored, and it seemed impos-
sible to avoid appointing negro to some
office. There was special reason for it in
this case, because the agent recommend
ed him. No sooner had be taken the
place, however, than Senator Butler
wrote that he was vulgar, rude aud in
competent. / regard Senator Butler as
an honorable man, and have no doubt
that he wrote what he believed to be
true. Ifit was true, of course Nix was
unpopular for other reasons than his col
or, and although the method by which
an attempt was made to eject him was
decidedly reprehensible, it is evident that
q white person alone can fill the Office ac-
ceptably."
fit is any ones interest to sustain Nix
it would certainly seem to be the post
master-General for in so doing he
would sustain also his special agent upon
whose recommendation Nix was appoin-
ted. Yet, however partisan may be his
inclinations, he sees that the full story
has not yet been told.

AN OUTLAw.-We regret to have to
chronicle base outrage, which occurred
near this place on Saturday night last.
AS the wife and daughter of Jasper Price,
colorcd, were returning from neigh
boris they were assaulted by white man
who fired several shots ut tho daughter.
He then beat both of them numerically
with a rail. On Tuesday evening last the
same person fired on two colored females
near town, but they succeeded in max
ing their escape. We learn that this man
has been lettering around town for somo
time. He is charged with having COM
mitted crimes in Georgia and left that
State to prevent arrest. Wo hope the
people will turn out AMI arrest this 1iend

ATRoc1oUs MURDER.--On Saturday last
n young negro woman, named Margaret
Simkins, living on the plantation OF Cap
tain James Brooks five miles northward
Of US, was shot through the neck with
single-barrel shotgun and instantly
killed. She was lying at the time across
the foot OF her bed, and lergthwise in
tho bed lay her husband, John Simkins,
sick of intermittent fever. This man re-
ports that he was startled by the sudden
report of the gun, &c. But, to make the
story short, the jury of inquest, which has
met twice, have rendered verdict that
the woman came to-. her death at the
hands of her husband, and consequently
the man, John Simkins, has been lodged
in our Jail. The woman was about %
years old; the man is about 80. Jeal-
ousy is supposed to be the cause Of the
foul deed. We get these facts from Coro-
ner Cartledge.-Ed5gfeld Advertiser.

Gen. Grant snubbed Dennis Kearney

Gen. Grant snubbed Dennis Kearney
twice by refusing to see him while in
San Francisco, and YET the Republicans
owe all of their success in California to
the split caused by the labor party, of
which Kearney is the leader. 1t was base
ingratitude in Gen. Grant to refuse an
iaterview with the one who had done
such valiant service for his party. If
Kearney is not an idiot he will take in
the situation, and govern himself accor-
dinghy in the future.

The case involving the validity Of the
subscription of York County in. bonds to
the Chester and I.enoir Railroad, which
was argued some months ago before the
Supreme Court, has recently been
brought into prominence by an order
from the Court for re-argument upon
the right of the Legislature to incorpo-
rate counties and townships for the pur
pose of making subscriptions, and as to
the right of counties and townships to
create debt and issue bonds. While
these questions are applicable to the
York County bonds only, so far as this
litigation is concerned, the same prin-
ciple applies to the Chester, Spartanburg,
Union, Greenville and Pickens County
bonds, and also perhaps TO the taxes
voted for the Greenwood and Augusta
and the Savannah Valley Railroads in
Abbeville, Edgefeld and Anderson Coun-
ties. These securities are for the most
part held by capitalists in the State of
South Carolina, and a decision adverse
to the boLds would work very many and
great hardships upon the innocent and
bona fde holders of this class of securi-
ties. The right to issue such bonds has
been before the Supreme Court of the
United States repeatedly, and has been
expressly affirmed under the constitution
of several States which seem to have no
stronger authority under their constita-
tions than that which exists in the Con-
stitution of South Carolina. 1t is, how
ever, impossible to surmise what will be
the result of the case before our Supreme
Court.

Representative Neal, of Ohio, q staunch
Republican, who is the latest arrival from
that State, expresses the belief that the cleo
ton will be close, and if Foster is elected at
all it will not be by any very big majority.
Gen. Ewing, hc says, has shown renarka-
BILE skill as leader and an organizer. One
circumstance, according to all accounts, has
had the tendency to help the Ohio Demo-
Gratis very much during this campaign, the
impossibility of raising any war issues
against them. Both their candidates for
Governor and Lieutenant Governor were
gallant Union officers. Washington Letter.
