Gen. Edgerton, the new Senator from
Minnesota, is man of very varied po-
litical experience and antecedents. He
is a native of New York, but removed
many years since to Minnesota, where he
has acquired some distinction as law
yer. He was at first Democrat, and,
as representative of that party, came
in 1860 as o delegate to the famous
Charleston Convention of the Demo
cratic party, which resulted in the split
which was the immediate forerunner of
secession. As a member of that Con-
vention, Gen. Edgerton was remarkable
as one of the three Minnesota delegates
who voted steadily for Jefferson Davis
for the nomination for President. After
the split.up he went as delegate to Bal
timore and helped to nominate Brecken-
ridge against Douglas, the Northern
Democratic candidate. When the war
resulted, however, he went into the Fed
eral service and commanded, before its
close, a brigade. At the conclusion Of
the war he espoused the Republican side,
and has since served several terms in the
State Legislature of Minnesota. BE has
never been an extreme Republican, and
he is expected to be one of the moderate
Republicans of the Senate.
The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1881-03-24

opinion, he was bound by every principle
of honor and self-respect to resign the
trust he had assumed and run the race
over. If he had done this and then been
elected to the Senate, we could have re.
spected him, though differing with him.
He has not chosen to do SO, but by deceit
and duplicity has obtained the position
he now disgraces. His admirers may
plead that he was gallant soldier in the
war, but that cannot efface his present
infamy any more than an ordinary horse
thief could justify his larceny by the
same course of reason. If he had come
out and avowed his Radicalism like
Longstreet or Mosby, his past record
might and would go far to prove the sim
cerity of his conduct, but when he cajoles
the people of Virginia into electing him
to the Senate, believing him to be a
Democrat in National politics, he was
a fraud which ak honest
men must condemn. That he may have
seen better days and been a better man
in the past may induce us to regret, but
it cannot excuse his present conduct.
The traitor has always been held in con.
tempt. and no man has ever risen to
greatness by treachery. Nations and
parties may profit by the treason of one
of their foes, but they always despise the
traitor, for they know the meanness Of
his soul and the utter lack of honorable
faith that characterizes him. Thus let it
be With Malone. y

BLACKS VERSUS WHITES.
The Relative Increase of the Colored Pop
ulation Of tho United States.

WASHINGTON, March 1S.-The census
bureau has issued bulletin giving in
detail the white and colored population
of the United States. 1t shows total
white population of 43, ,404,876 and a
colored population of 6,577, ISL. The
greatest proportion of colored to white is
in South Carolina, where three-ffths of
the whole population is colored. In
Louisiana and Mississippi from one-half
to three.ffths is colored; in Alabama
Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Vir-
ginia and the District of Columbia, one
third to one-half is colored, and in
Arkansas and Tennessee from one
quarter to one.third is colored. Outside
of the former slave States the proportion
of negroes is very small.
The relative changes in the negro
population during the decade between
1870 and 1880 are also given in the
United States as g whole. There has
been gain of 625 on an assumed basis
of 100000 whites. Great relative gains
have apparently been made in the former
slayeholding States. Eight of these
States have made gains ranging from
944 to nearly 1000. 1t is believed,
however, by the census Office that these
apparent gains are due in great meas.
ure to the imperfections of the census of
1870, and that under the conditions
which prevailed at that time it is proba-
BILE that a much larger proportion Of
negroes were omitted than of whites.
South Carolina, Mississippi, Louisiana,
Georgia, North Carolina, Arkansas, Ten.
nessee and the District of Columbia
show relative increase; Texas, Florida,
Alabama and Virginia show a relative
decrease. Texas and Florida take the
lead Of the States which have lost. Both
of these States have received heavy
white immigration from other parts Of
the country, which has more than over
balanced whatever gain in the colored
population may have been made. They
have been the scene of rapid develop
ment, and thus the relative decrease OF
the blacks is to be accounted for not by
exodus or dying out, but by the infusion
of whites. The movement of the blacks
in the Northern and Western States has
apparently been of little comparative
account, and the migration of negroes
has not attained to such dimensions as to
be perceptible there. Mississippi, Louis
lana and North Carolina, States from
which the exodus principally took place,
have all apparently gained heavily in
the relative proportion of blacks, while
Kansas, to which the major part went,
has lost in proportion to its increase in
population, and Indiana has gained but
SLIGHTLY. J.

Hanged, and Hanged Again.

James Black, colored, was hanged on
last Friday, 18th instant, at Marion, for
the murder of Eli Wilcox, colored. He
appeared cheerful, but it could be plainly
seen that his smiles were forced and that
he began to realize his situation. At
11.30 he went around to all the prisoners
in Jail and bade them goodbye. In the
meantime q large crowd had collected in
front of the Jail to catch a glimpse of the
execution. The jailer told Black that he
could address the crowd from the win.
dow, and he took drink of water to
clear his throat for q talk, but when he
faced the crowd his words failed him and
he turned away. without saying word.
He sent for his relatives and younger
brother to come to bid him goodbye.
While he was attending religious services
at 1926 the sheriff told him his time had
come, and he was conducted to the scat
fold, where the death warrant was read,
to which Black listened with close atten.
tion. After the reading his sister and
her two children came to bid him fare.
we'll, and, though they cried piteously,
Black did not appear at all affected.
at o'clock the prop was pulled from
under the scaffold and the spectators were
Mortified to see the rope break and Black
fall to the floor below. He was immedi-
ately picked up and brought back in q
strangling condition and the rope again
prepared. Black appeared to suffer ter
ribly, splitting blood from his mouth.
He called for water several times, which
was given to him. -
Eighteen minutes after the first fall the
trap was sprung the second time. nis
neck was not broken aud he died of
strangulation. After hanging nine min
utes his pulse beat only ct slow intervals,
and at 1.30 p. M, twelve minutes after he
fell, the doctors pronounced him dead.
At LAT p. m. he was taken down and de-
livered for burial, his mother having ex.
pressed her desire not to have him
brought to her after execution.
Sheriff johnson is entirely blameless
for the breaking of the rope, it having
been considered frst-class in every re.
spect. His predecessor bought it from
John j. Tower, of New York, at cost
of S25. It broke just at the end of the
knot, and was completely rotten. Black
weighed $50 pounds.-Cor. Neps and

What Nihilists Seek-InteryieW With
One Of the Organization.

There are probably very few, if any,
living in this country who are more
familiar with the deep laid schemes Of
the Nihilists to overthrow the Govern
ment of Russia, and the preliminary
plottings for the accomplishment of this
end against the life of the late Gear, than
"W. C-ky," the Nihilist correspondent
of the Springfield Republican, otherwise
known as John Baker A reporter of
the Herald had an interview with him
yesterday. He said in reply to o ques-
ton: "There are two factions in Russia
seeking change in the Government
the extreme Radicals, who are justly
termed Nihilists, and the others, who
suffer the odium of the name but who
are simply revolutionists. Personally
I object to being called Nihilist, but
there seems to be no escape from the
name. About three weeks ago three
agents of the Supreme Secret Revolu-
tionary Government, the chiefs of which
i mean the Revolutionary Government
hold doctrines entirely different from
the extreme Radicals, sent by the under
ground railway, which is peculiar to
Russia at the present time, a request for
an audience with the Gar, promising
his personal safety and asking in return
their own safety. The object of the pro-
posed interview was to lay before the
Car the true condition of the country
and to request him to come and mix for
a few hours incognito with the people
and see for himself. The Car, who was
really good at heart, although weak in
mind, granted, strange as it may seem,
the interview"
"Did he grant the request and 60 with
them on the tour of inspection as sug-
gested 2"
: "He did so promptly"
"Did he require any other than verbal
vouchers for his safety?"
"None; he took their word, they

which, however, he did not ask. l
should state that these agents were rep
resentatives of the highest families in the
Empire.
"What was the extent of the joint tour
of liz ,ection
"They went, for instance, to police
man and told him that in house which
they designated at random lived prom
inent Nihilist. A body of gcndarmes at
once made their appearance upon the
signal of the policeman, and the master
of the house was arrested without war
rant, he only being told that he was
wanted. Afterward one of the agents in
another street accused one of his COM
panions of having robbed him. The
money and iewelry of the accuser were
found upon the person of the accused,
and yet, in half an hour afterward, the
latter joined the party, stating, as was
afterward proven that he had given the
largest share of the fictitious theft to the
chief of the police district. To cut this

urged at present is said to be to do every
thing for the agricultural interest repre-.

All other sections, such as capitalists,
manufactures, scientists and literatuers

more or less disafected. The following
proposals are said to be under considera-

Emperor's sole initiative, thus giving

- The trial of Richard, Ben and Louis
James, the negroes charged with the
murder of D. NJ. Howell on the 9th day
Of August last, was held in Marion last
week, and the jury, consisting of nine
whites and three colored, brought in a
verdict of guilty as to Richard and Ben
James, and not guilty as to Louis James,
agreeing on the verdict within few
minutes after they went into the jury
room. The evidence, though circum-
stantial, points conclusively to the guilt
of the convicted men. They were sem
fenced by Judge Presley to be hanged
on Friday, June the Sd. Howell, the
murdered man, was waylaid on his way
home from his store in the evening and
beat to death in the streets of Marion.
