1t is stated that Gen. Benjamin F.
Butler is preparing to enter the race
for Governor of Massachusetts, again this
Fall, and that in the meantime he is pre-
pared and will show that 10000 men
are disfranchised contrary to the provis-
ions of the fourteenth amendment to the
Constitution of the United States. This
disfranchisement was accomplished by
the Act of 1874, which required all voters
to be able to read and write before they
can exercise the right of suffrage in that
State. Gen. Butler is in no arliable
mood towards the present administration
in the Bay State, and afirms that the
Act of Massachusetts, which disqualifes
these 10000 voters shall either be re-
pealed or the congressional delegation of
the State be reduced from eleven to
eight, which would also cut off of that
States vote in the electoral college for
President to a corresponding extent.
Butler is certainly vigorous candidate,
for ne has already been beaten twice for
Governor, and yet he enters the third
race with as good chances of success as
he had in his first race-indeed, his
chances are perhaps better than they
have ever been. He can stand more
killing than any politician extant. 1t
looks now like the people of Massachu'
sets will be forced to elect him to gel
rid of him.

A Mr.. Spierman, residing half
mile from the village of Silver Street, IN
Newberry County, on the Greenville and
Columbia Railroad, on last Sunday
evening, without intimation of his pur-
pose of any hostile intent, attacked his
brother on coming from the supper table
and cut his throat, causing immediate
death. He then repaired to his wife's
room, cut her throat as he supposed IA
tally, and passing into another apartment
applied the knife to his own throat.
When assistance reached them one broth
er was found dead, the other mortally
wounded, and the wife dangerously, but
it is hoped not fatally injured. No
cause can be assigned for the rash and
fatal act of the aggressor. The parties
concerned were in good circumstances
and highly respected.
Ex-SherifF J. L. Southern commit
ted suicide at his home on Paris Noun
tain in Greenville County, on last Satur-
day night. in the presence of bis wife and
daughter, by shooting himself through
the head with pistol, the ball entering
above the right ear and passing through
the brain. Financial and domestic trou-
bles are the cause assigned for the act.
Scott Hopkins, colored, shot Mr.,
James Stroud with pistol at Chester on
last Monday afternoon in the store OF j.
Clubhouse & Co. Mr.. Stroud is in q
critical condition, and it is apprehended
that the wound will prove fatal. The
difficulty originated from dispute about
money.

ANOTHER CASE OF LYNCH LAVA

ANOTHER CASE OF LYNCH LAVA
one.armed negro, named Lewis Skinner,
visited the house of Mr.. Daniel Byrd,
living near Georges Station, s. c., about
9 o'clock on Saturday morning, and in
the absence of Mr.. Byrd, drew pistol
and threatening Mrs. Byrd with death,
committed a brutal outrage upon her
person. He then fed to the woods.
Upon the return of the husband Of the
unfortunate victim, he was informed of
what had occurred, when he at once or.
ganized posse OF fifty men and started
in pursuit of the negro. About o'clock
Sunday morning they came upon aud
captured him at Murray's Church Cross
Roads. He was taken to the scene OF
his crime, identified by Mrs. Byrd and
confessed his guilt. A large crowd COL
lected, and, for a time were bent on
lynching him, but it was finally decided
to let the law take its course. He was
taken before Trial Justice, who held a
preliminary examination and directed
that he be sent to Jail for trial. When
about two miles from Walterboro, the
party was overtaken by an armed party
of men, who took the prisoner from the
officers of the law and carried him to a
secluded spot, where crowd Joined them,
and his case was submitted to Judge
Lynch, in obedience to whose decision
be was summarily hanged. Both the
white and colored citizens of the commu-
nity Justify the hanging.

The United States Senate is having a

The United States Senate is having a
little fun over old Mr.. WINDOWS emigra-
ton scheme for the colored people. The
whole matter has been exposed, and
shown to be political from beginning to
end, and without single element of phi
lanthrophy about it. In debate in the
Senate upon the question, Senator Win
dom retorted upon those who were
showing his shallow pretenses, by saying
that the State of Indiana was also i'm
porting white voters to vote the Demo-
cratic ticket. This brought Senator Nc
Donald to his feet, and, fguratively
speaking, he completely scalped the
Senator from Minnesota by the following
reply:
"You can say that the Indiana
Democrats have been importing white
voters ever since the State was admitted
to the Union in 1916. We have made
Indiana the most desirable State in the
Union for them to locate in. AS for
colored voters, the Indiana Democrats
have not encouraged them to come. The
thirteenth amendment to our constitu
ton, adopted in 1850, prohibited the
bringing of negroes into the State, and
we would have maintained it only for
the thirteenth and fourteenth amend
ments to the United States Constitution.
The United States got number or two
ahead of us. But I'll say this: After
the next election the Republicans will
think we've been importing voters"

The Cincinnati Times has discovered a
traveller who "thinks he found that at
Charleston the old time people would
neither trade nor associate in any way
with Northerners; that at Savannah they
would trade with them, but not invite
them to their houses, but that at Atlanta
they traded and dined with Massachu-
sets people as readily as with a
Georgian" This is likely the opinion Of
some one whose opinion is not very val
liable, and whose statements are less re-
liable than his opinions are valuable, for
the above report is entirely too ultra. 1t
is not credible that the people of city
would refuse to trade with any class of
citizens from whom they could make
money, and yet if the traveller is to be
believed, Charleston will not trade with
Northern people. We know, and every
other person who will think for a mo-
meut knows, that this is not true, and
the statement being untrue as to one
charge is unworthy of belief in any par
ticular. Indeed, it is an imaginary state
of things from beginning to end. 1t does
not exist.

Mr.. H. G. Wright, one of the editors
and proprietors of the Augusta Chronicle
and Constitutionalist, died on Monday the
23rd of February last, after n short ILL
ness. He was one of the most talented
and popular newspaper men of the South,
and by his energy and genius contributed
largely to the interest and success of the
Chronicle and Constitutionalist, which is
one of the best and most reliable South
ern papers. Mr.. Wright had but touched
the prime of early manhood, and in his
twenty.ninth year was cut down in the
very triumph of his expanding mind and
in the moment Of growing success. His
life, though short, has not been a failure,
for he leaves behind him a record which
it is given to few men of his age to
achieve. That life which is numbered
by many years is not always greatest in
its accomplishments, and Mr.. Wright,
though called from earth at the youthful
age of twenty-nine, has done more and
risen higher than many men with his
opportunities would have done at fifty.

Gen. Sherman promises to retire from
active life when he is sixty-two years
old. That period will arrive to him in
1881, and if he carries out his promise
the country can at least point to one act
in his life for which it will be his debtor.
The promise, however, is not valuable,
coming from man of Sherman's veraci-
ty, and is probably only an intimation of
an expected change in his station under
what he no doubt believes to be an ap-
preaching empire. If Grant succeeds in
obtaining the White House on the 4th of
March, 1881, Gen. Sherman will very
probably be rewarded with most desi-
rable dignity under the consolidated en-
pire which the third term manipulators
are seeking to establish. The anticipa-
ton of something of this kind is possibly
the source of the Generals announce
meut.

Congress now has before it new tariff
bill which reduces the duty on all articles
by nearly fifty per cent. This is step
in the right direction, and, if accom-
plished, will very greatly cheaper the
principal articles which the American
people consume. The present protective
tariff is little better than a direct tax
upon the masses of the people for the
purpose of presenting large gratuities to
q few manufacturers. The present Bill
is said to be the shortest ever brought
before Congress on the tariff, and it is
sincerely to be hoped that it will become
a law. Ifit does our people will see the
prosperity which will follow high prices
for articles which we have to sell, and
low prices for those we have to buy.

BAYARD Nor A CANDIDATE.-W Wash
inqton, February 27.-The Star makes the
following editorial statement: "Last Sat
urday the members of the committee who
support Mr.. Bayard for the Presidential
nomination waited upon the Senator and
asked where he would like to have the
convention held. He replied that it was
a matter which ne felt he had no right to
interfere in; that he had no choice OF
location whatever. He wanted the con-
vention to consult the best interests OF
the party, but for himself he was not a
candidate for the Presidential nomina-
ton, and earnestly desired that his
friends would not seek to direct the con-
yention in his interest"

President Hayes has recently i'll

President Hayes has recently illus
trated his idea of civil service reform by
nominating Pinchback as Collector of
the Port of New Orleans. 1t will be re-
membered that Pinchback was said to
have received bribe of $4,000 for sign
ing Bill while President Of the Louis
lana Senate, and that he is said now to
be the proprietor of one or more gam
bling saloons in the city of New Orleans.
Of course the Senate will not confirm
such nomination, but then it serves to
illustrate the sincerity of the Presidents
professions. Mr.. Hayes has offered posi-
tions to all of the principal Radical ras-
Gals who were engaged in stealing the
Presidency in 1876.

At the recent session of the Legisla-
ture Joint Resolution to pay the claim
of Bennett Perry for work done as Audi
tor of Edge6eld County, and a Bill to
amend the fence law Act in relation to
Oconee County, so as to leave the adop-
ton of the law to majority vote of the
citizens living south of the Air Line
Railroad and voting in such election,
were passed by both Houses, but failed
to get ratified by some mischance. From
some cause or other neither was pre-
sented to the Speaker of the House nor
to the President of the Senate, and hence
they failed to become laws.

The deadlock in Maine has wound up
very much like that in South Carolina in
1S75-that is, the returning board candi-

to hold up. Indeed, all but FIVE of the
fusion Legislature have gone into the
Republican Legislature and taken their
seats. The contest was decided accord

people who refused to pay their honest
