RuNNERs.-A couple of tramps stop
ped Wednesday morning to get breakfast
at the boarding house over Ryan's car
riage factory, and while ostensibly wash

into a bedroom, stole coat, and de
camped. The boarding house man in
formed marshal Fleming and the latter
soon found the fellows walking up the
a, II. 81 S. +. road toward the West
street depot lie followed them, and
they began to run toward the fair
grounds, and by the time marshal Elem
ing had got horse they had nearly
reached the old frey farm. He got
them, however, near w. 5. jays farm,
and brought them to town. One, Ed.
Cunning CHAM, who had the coat, has been
lodged in Jail to await trial, the other es-
cortcd out of town and told to not come
back. The fun of the case was in the
running power the fellows displayed.
They ran at least six miles at n pace that

A Terrible Butchery.

A correspondent of the Abbeville Me-
d;um, writing from Millway, Abbeville
County, under date of July 10, gives the
following account of colored brute's
assault upon his wife:
Early last Friday morning cries Of
"My poor wife is dead, what shall | d."
we're heard for miles around Millway.
1t was soon ascertained that Abraham
Martin, colored, was making those cries
and his wife, Lucinda Martin, was lying
apparently dead, with her head badly
broken in, under dead tree, in the
corner of Abraham's yard. To those
who first come to his cries, he told that
on getting up, he saw something lying
in his yard, and went OUT and found it
was his poor wife, with limbs on and
around her, which he knew had fallen
from the tree and killed her. From the
first he was suspected of having commit.
ted the deed; for the limbs were not of
the same kind of wood, that would have
fallen from the tree. Trial Justice E.
w. Watson and his constable w. A
Harris were soon on the ground. MIR.
Harris arrested Abraham, and Esquire
Watson began to investigate the matter
at once. Abraham at first denied every
thing, but late in the evening he had so
completely wound himself up, by giving
contradictory testimony, that he con-
cluded to make confession, not, howev-
er, before it was discovered that his un.
der garments were covered with blood.
He denied using an axe, that was found
near with hair and blood on it, and said
he only used chair post. Esquire Wat
son had him committed to Jail, and on
his way up he acknowledged that he
used the axe. Lucinda was an honest, in
dustrious woman, having lived with
Abraham as his lawful wife for some
thirty.fve years, and is the mother of
fourteen children by him. Some years
ago, he concluded that he was entitled to
more than one wife, and consequently he
has had living with him for the past
twelve years another woman. Some Six
weeks ago this woman joined the church,
and refused to live any longer in adul.
terry with him. He thought all that was
necessary for him to do was to make
himself widower, and marry lawful
ly the woman he had been living with,
but in this he was mistaken. He is not
yet widower, although the attending
physician DR.. Neel, says there is little
hope for her recovery, though at this
writing (Monday morning. she is better
and has spoken for the first time since
the horrible attack was made on her.

CONGRESSIONAL NOMINATIONS.

AS no nominations for Congress have
yet been made in this State, we would
like to see the experiment of selecting
the candidate by primary election tried.
This mode of nomination possesses seve-
raj attractive features, which will, in our
opinion. amply repay for the slight in
convenience it will occasion. BY this
system the most popular, and hence the
most acceptable, man in the district will
be put forward for election. 1t gives
freer canvass of the merits and dement's
of any aspirant, and the question is de-
cided by greater number Of people
than by the Convention, and therefore
the decision is apt to be more impartial,
and is more sure TO condemn an improper
aspi7ant. The greatest advantage, how
ever, we think is to be derived from
bringing members of Congress face to
face once in every two years with their
immediate constituents, which will keep
them in harmony with their party, and
prevent the new departures which erratic
statesmen who feel over-secure in their
seats sometimes indulge. By this ne.
cessity to please the ordinary voters they
would study the wants and condition of
their constituents to better advantage by
personal observation and association du.
ring the canvass for the nomination, and
could render more efficient service after
election. We are willing to try this
plan in the Third Distric. with the three
gentlemen who. have been spoken of for
the nomination. It will be fair to all of
them, and we know that we fully express
the feeling of Col. Orr, who is the pre-
ference of this and at least two or three
other Counties for the position, when we
say that he does not desire the nomina-
ton unless he is the choice Of the ma
iority of the Democratic voters of the
District, and we presume it is also the
case of the other gentlemen named for
the nomination. It would give to Col.
Aiken the opportunity to face his con-
stituents and render an account of his
stewardship, thus giving to him the ad-
vantage of an intelligent review, and at
the same time affording the opportunity
for such open and fair criticism as is
healthful and proper. 1t will give an
equal chance to- all, and allow the people
to render their own verdict, after seeing
and hearing all of the candidates, their
opinions and the objections to them.
We are, therefore, highly in favor of
referring the Congressional nominations
generally, and in this District particu.
larly, to primary election. 1t will be
fair to all-unfair to none-and the re-
suit will be satisfactory to the friends Of
all parties.

ANOTHER. INDEPENDENT.

So Pickens County has All independent
candidate for the Legislature in the per-
son of Col. w. E. Welborn, who says he
is an old-line Democrat and in favor Of
the Hancock and Hagood National and
State tickets, but has never joined any
political party, and is in the hands Of
his friends, subject to the result of the
general election. Col. Welborn's card,
we think, proves too much for him. 1t
shows that the National and State Demo-
cratic parties are the best parties for the
respective governments, and that he
knows it, and also that he is anxious to
go to the Legislature without caring ex.
actly how he gets there, and hence as he
does not think the majority of the men,
bers of this party, which he admits is
the best party, will select him as repre-.
sentative, he will, for the sake of the
Office, try to gain from negroes and radi-
calls the votes necessary to elect him.
Col. Welborn is evidently trying to az.
grandize himself more than to serve his
people and his State. The citizens of
Pickens, no doubt, appreciate good gov.
ernment too much to allow any man to
shatter the organization which has alone
secured and maintained it. Col. We'll
born should either be required to submit
his claims to the primary election, or
content himself with defeat in Novem.
Der. lie is either Intentionally or igno-
rantly working in sympathy with the aims
and purposes of the Republican party,
and should receive no more considera-
ton, if he persists, than would be shown
the most bitter and pronounced Republi.
can. The permanent success of the
Democratic party is above all personal
considerations in importance, and that
success can only be attained by defeating
independentism, which is only another
and worse form of republicanism, wher.
ever it may be found. These indepen-
dents are seeking to destroy the Demo
cratic party to advance their own inter-
cst. The welfare Of the State demands
that they should be sternly rebuked by
overwhelming defeat. The State expects
old Pickens to do her duty in November,
and we have no fear that she will in any
wise be found lacking when the votes
are counted.

so, when, after some consultation between
Mr.. w. A. Courtenay, Mr.. VIM. Clyde,
Mr.. James Bryan and Mr.. T. NJ. Logan,
the Master was requested by one of them
to enter the name of w. A Courtenay as
the purchaser and to declare the same
publicly, and it was so done.
No compliance with the terms of sale
having been made by any party beyond
the payment of the forfeit of twenty
thousand dollars, and stay of proceed
ings as to the resale of the property hav-
ing been ordered in consequence of the
claim of Mr.. Clyde and his associates
that they purchased at the sum of $685.
600, with which purchase they offer to
comply, for the purpose of settling the
question Judge Hudson issued a rule
against Hon. w. A. Courtenay to show
cause why he should net comply with his
bid of s2,96S, 400, to which he returned
answer by Messrs. Bryan 4 Bryan and
Samuel Lord, his attorneys, that as the
agent of the Clyde syndicate he had pur-
chased the road at s2,393,eOO, and that
thereafter the bidding Lad been reopen.
ed, upon which he ceased to take any
further interest as such agent, and only
bid against one Cummings, who appeared
to be drunk, and was, as the respondent
believes, simply straw bidder, he hav-
ing during the sale proposed to cease
bidding for consideration, which re-
spondent rejected. That respondent
finally had the property knocked down
to him the second time at 50, 1868, 400, and
he again put up the twenty thousand
dollars as forfeit. He claims that the
first was the valid sale, and the second
wholly null aud void. The proper par
ties have been made, and Judge Hudson
passed an order requiring the Master to
take testimony as to the facts connected
with the sale, and report to him on the
18th of August next, at 10 o'clock a. M,
in Columbia. The principal parties who
will lose by the success of the Clyde
syndicate are the holders of second mort.
gage bonds, who will realize over forty
per cent. if the last sale stands, while
they will get nothing if the first prevails.
There will be strong fight made by this
class of bondholders either to have the
last sale stand or new sale ordered, in
which contingency it is claimed the road
will sell for over three million dollars.
