together erroneous. The latitude oil Hud-

NEw YoRE, June 19.-A special to the
Tribune, from Columbia, S. O., says: The
reports are renewed Of the barbarioua
treatment Of the colored conyicts at work
on the Savannah Valley railroad in This
State. Nine of these uniortunates have
died recently, It is alleged, from the effects
Of cruel treatment by contractors employ
ed by the railroad company. A few days
ago a squad Of eight convicts were return
ing from work to their camp when one OF
the number escaped. The next morning
the remaining seven were stripped and
beaten numerically and in short time
one Of them died from the effects Of his
whipping. On another occasion a convict
who saw fellow prisoner attempt.
ing TO file Of his shackles, and did not In.
form on him, was so ffighttully whipped
that he has not been able to do any work
since. Another convict was bound up
with wires and beaten until his back was
left raw from his neck down, and he is
now lying in the camp in very critical
Its said that the conyicts are
called up at three o'clock in the morning
in order to reach their place Of work,
which is Aye or ak miles away; that they
are worked until alter dark, and that they
do not get back to camp until about nine
o'clock at night. Only one hourfor rest
Is allowed in the day, aud that at dinner
time. Seven disabled convicts from the
railroad camp arrived at the Penitenttary
in this city last night. They were in a
condition, and were placed in
The hospital.
BY order Of the Governor Of the State,
Lepscomb and Surgeon
Pope, OF the Penitentiary, have gone to
The convict camp in Abbevillo county, to
make an. official investigation into the
matter. There is little doubt that this in
yestigation will show that sufficient cause
sxtata to justify the. demand which was
made SO elnphatically several months ago,
upon the report OF similar brutalities, that

lefenseiess creatures shall henceforth be
made impossible by abelishing the system
