Return 30 the Radical Hogpen.

In connection with the pending politi-
Cal trials in Charleston, the accomplished
Columbia correspondent Of the Augusta
Chronicle and Constitutionazist, "Rich-
land" draws this admirable pen picture
of Willard:
Willard is a genuine, thoroughbred,
unadulterated carpet-bagger. Being gifted
with an unusual share OF what is vulgarly
termed "brass," and "by ways that are
dark and tricks that are vain" he sue
ceeded in having himself elected an Asso.
ciate Justice of South Carolina by the
vultures who fed upon the State in the
days of Radicalism The other Associate
Justice at the time was an imbecie ne
gro. The Supreme Court. as then consti-
tuted. was proper judicial tribunal for
the corrupt days in which it existed.
Upon the death of Chief Justice Moses
and the accession of the Democrats to
power, Willard, for supposed services
rendered the party at critical time. was
rewarded by being elected for Moses un-
expired term. He has, since his retirement
from the Supreme Bench, returned 10 the
Radical hogpen and is one Of The vilest
and bitterest OF the crew in the State.
He is an old man now, his hair is frosted
with age.

the authority of Deputy Marshals or Su-
pervisors, and they notice and "in their

remark made by any Democrat during an
election, and afterwards, by horrible dis
tortion and downright lying, make il the
basis of political prosecutions. These
craven towards go to the election, and,

perhaps some rash youth, provoked be-

graded white men in the community, or

possibly Mr.. Crowley may be one of

Mr.. Dallas Sanders, of Pennsylvania,

A correspondent of the Cleveland
Lcader, writing to his paper of the
drinking methods of Congressmen,
makes bar-keeper say:
I'VE have some curious drinkers
among the members of the present
House. A member from South Caro-
lima takes on an average abont forty
drinks day. He fills his glass to
the brim every time, and tells the
bartender his sight ia bad and he can't
tell how much there is in the glass
until it gets too full. Like all the
Southern members, he always drinks
whiskey, and he takes it straight"
Who is it? Certainly not Col.
Evins. If he ever drinks he does it
so infrequently that it has never told
on him IN the memory Of man. 1t
certainly is net Col. Aiken. There is
not red enough in his face to hang a
suspicion on. Col. Richardson is
true blue copper riveted Presbyterian.
Uncle George Tillman never touches
a drop ofanything stronger than milk.
Mr.. Dibble carries certificate Of ab.
solute sobriety on his countenance.

happens nobody can ever again abuse
whiskey or deny that it haa its good |
uses.-Greenril{e Ne,os.

TESTIMONY AND PACKED
JURlES.
Trials Investigated in Malice and

Purposes.
Edgefeld Uninvolved as Yet.

The Chief Justice of the United States
-Waite-is expected to hold the April
term Of the United States Court in Char
lesion. And on this occasion, South Car
olina is to be subjected to another reign
Of perjufsd testimony and packed jurles.
The United States Government, through
its Agents in this State-the principal of
whom is District Attorney Melton-Sam-
uel Melton-is busily preparing for the
prosecution, for political effect, Of citizens
OF South Carolina, for alleged violations
of the election laws, the intimidation OF
voters, and similar charges. In these
trumped up cases, the Government will
represented by District Attorney Mel
ton, ex-Chief Justice Willard, VIM, P.
Snyder. g lawyer Of Allentown, Penn,
and Congressman Richard Crowley, Of
Buffalo, New York. Snyder and Crow
lsy are sent to our State on this unholy
erand by Attorney General Brewster.
The first dash in thus pitiful business
was made some three weeks ago, when

swore out warrant against Her
}ron for assaulting him at the polls.
At a preliminary hearing accorded these
gentlemen in Columbia. few days after
their arrest, the witnesses of the Govern
ment, not being well up in their lessons,
and not swearing to enough to justify
taking the cases into Court, Melton and
Willard deliberately continued them, to
give the Government time to look up new
and swifter witnesses. Large numbers OF
arrests are being made over the State
and in certain subsequent preliminary ex-
sminations, the same farce of postpone
ment or continuation has been resorted
to-gaining time to hunt up creatures
ready TO perure themselves for few
dollars.
In thus arraigning our people, it is very
Gear that the Republican party are not
, seeking for the purity of elections, but for
political capital to go before the country

GOOD RADIANCE.
Two Of New York's Most Noted Crooks Shot
to Death in a Saloon Row.


NEW YORK, Oct. 16.
John Irving and John Walsh, widely.
known burglars, shot and killed each other
in Shang Draper's saloon, 466 Sixth avenue,
early this morning. They were in Draper's
saloon shortly before two O'Clock this
morning, both filed with liquor. They
quarreled about some rascality in which
they were mutually interested, and both
whipped out revolvers and fired at close
quarters. Every one in the saloon sought
cover as the double report rang out. The
shots were fired at the same instant, and
with like effect. Irving fell dead, with
Johnny the Mick's bullet in his brain, and
the Mick fell, shot through the heart.
Neither lived long enough to breathe twice
after the shots. Billy Porter and the gang
ran out to the streets, but the reports of
the pistols were heard by the police, and
Porter was arrested. Every person
suspected of being in the saloon at
the time of the shooting was arrested.
John Irving was one of the Patchen
avenue, Brooklyn, burglars, and Jack
Walsh, alias "John the Nick" was one of
the accomplices in the robbery of Jacob
Ruppert's bank messengers two years ago.
"Billy" Porter was Irving's pal in his
crimes, and in their escape from Raymond
Street Jail, Brooklyn, where they were
confined for the Patchen avenue burglary.
Bank officers and the police re joice that two
of the oldest of the bank burglars so read
bly, removed each other.
Glorious, glorious news" said Superin-
tendent Walling, and he rubbed his hands
i'll high glee when informed of the affair
upon reaching his Office this morning. In
spector Byrne added that the only regret
was that Porter was not counted among
the victims.
An autopsy was held this evening on the
bodies of the burglars. Irving was killed
by 40-caliber bullet, corresponding with
those remaining in Walsh's revolver.
Walsh, however, was killed by 32-caliber
bullet, while Irving's revolver carried one
So. The revolver taken from the pocket of
"Billy" Porter, who was arrested, con-
tanned three recently exploded cartridges
and carried a 32-caliber bullet. The police
are convinced that they can prove that
Walsh was killed by Porter, and that the
murder had been planned bv him and Ir-
wing,

The Death Ride of a Locomotive Fireman.
PITTSBURGH, Oct. Is.
While John Bley and James Maloney,
two switchmen, were repairing damage to
freight car attached to a train standing
at Derry Station, on the Pennsylvania
Railroad, yesterday, the engineer of a push
ing engine at the rear of the train started
up, not being aware of their presence un-
der the car. Bley was crushed and man.
gled beyond recognition and died instantly.
Maloney was crushed against the tender,
his scalp almost torn from his head and
one arm and leg broken. The train was
quickly stopped and Maloney carried to the
engine and laid upon the floor. Train men
then started for Bley's remains and were
carrying them toward the engine, which
was detached, when they were horror.
stricken to see Maloney, crazed with pain,
suddenly jump up and throw the throttle
valve wide open. The engine started with
fearful rapidity down grade. When La.
trobe was reached, six miles from the scene
of the accident, it came to stop and Ma,
loney was found lying unconscious. He
was picked up and taken to the hospital.
His injuries are mortal.
