HAULING DOWN THE FLAG,

After talking with them for over an hour
and coming no nearer to conclusion of the
difficulty, and with no prospect of convinc-
ing them that he had right to either en-
force or even demand their departure, Capt
Brown called his frs officer and quietly di-
rected him to take a trustworthy man, thor
orghly arm himself and his assistant, get
from below large American flag secrete
it under his coat, slip up to the poop, aud at
the same time haul down the japanese flag
and substitute the other for it. He was also
directed to shoot any one interfering with
the execution of the order The flag was in
this way changed without single japanese
officer on board noticing the change and
they were then informed that as they were
on the deck of an American man-o wal
they must leave Immediately, and if one OF
them remained on board at sunset he would
be thrown overheard. They were also in
formed that, if necessary, the two Amari-
can men -of-war then in the same harbor
would be summoned to the assistance of the
| Stonewall. When they were pointed out the
American flag at the peak, guarded by two
resolute men on either side, with drawn re-
volvers, their astonishment and surprise
were unbounded

The Lynching Condemned.
A Strong Letter from a Citizen Of
Ridge Spring, Edgetieid County.

Correspondence Ne'0s and Courier.
RIDGE srRING, September 23.-The
shocking news of the lynching Of O.
T. Culbreath, at Edge6eld O. II, has
Just reached us here, and is condemn
ed beyond measure, without regard to
circumstances. We are not sufficient
ly informed as to the whole affair to
form an idea as to the guilt or iDno-
cence of MIR. Culbreath; but whether
guilty or not, there is no excuse for
such an inhuman butchery in our
county. The crime is the more re-
voting, iuasmuch as it appears to
have been deliberately planned and
defantly executed by community OF
citizens, without mercy and in the
lace Of the law, and more serious in
it's effect on account OF the high stand
ing of the people said to be in sympa-
thy with it, if not actually engaged
in it. The provocation might have
been the worst go far as we know, but
no provocation should be allowed to
result in a crime which casts an eter-
nal stigma upon people and dis
graces theft citizenship. A wore Ca
famity could hardly have befallen us.
Poor Edge6eld has suffered in the
past by blots Of this nature, but nev.
er before in her history has crime
been perpetrated upon her soil SO ca
lamitous to her, interests and danger
ous in its consequences to her welfare.

At it's shirty.ffth meeting in the
spring of 1884. the American aedi-
esI Association deservedly conferred
apoa DR.. Henry Fraser Campbell, OF
Augusta, the honor of electing him
It's President. This was both prac.
sical anu graceful recognition Of the
South, and of one Of the greatest OF
Southern States. To all who know
DR.. Campbell-his profound science,
his splendid experience. his chival,
reas pride in his profession, his e1
allied christian benevolence, his ire
sistible personal geniality-this eleo
ton was matter of high pleasure
and eongratulation. And among those
regions where love and admiration
Of this great doctor reign strongly.
we unEesitatihgly write down Edge
field County, 8. O.
We are moved TO make these re-
marks by having read very lately DR..
Campell's Presidential address before
She American Medical Association at
its annual meeting in New Orleans
in April last-an address SO out of
our common routine Of reading as to
make it really a delightful and In
ssruetivs novelty to US. The Doctors
subject mainly, was 1.-THE Physician
as Related to the Tribunals Of Law, "
or, more briefly summarized" s" The
Doctor in the Courts" And in hand
ling il, Dr. Campbell not only reveals
much study, thought and experience,
but evinces most noble and fatherly
pride for the true dignity of his pro-
fession. If.Dr. Campbelfs warnings
be needed, and his advice followed,
the day will soon come when the
position Of the medical witness, and,
to certain extent, all professional
and expert testimony before the courts
of law, will no longer be 80 anoms-
lous, 90 often one Of false relation to

The c., G.. &. g. q. Railway.
The Petition Granted and the Election
Ordered for the 22d Of Gctuber.

From The aiken Journal & ReuieD.
On Monday morning the County
Commissioners met to consider the
application Of sthe.majority OF the tax-
payers of Aiken township for an cleo
ton to be held to determine whether
or not this township shall subscribe
$47, ,409to aid the building of the c.,
c. G. & G. Railway. Those persons
in opposition othe enterprise used
every effort to defeat the order for
the election, but failed to do SO. Both
parties were represented before the
Uommissionersby attorneys, and every
name on the application was closely
scrutinized. Three hundred and TWEEN.
ty.two tax payers aigned the applica-
ton, of whom Al we're induced after
wards to have their names stricken
off. There still remained, however,
275 in favor of the election, being
mere than half Of the Taxpayers OF
the township, and parties who repre-
sent IS per. cent. of the real estate.
Thus it will be seen that the frat step
in this enterprise has beau successful,
and, in accordance with the law, the
County Commissioners will order the
election to be held.
This election is ordered for the 22d
of October proximo; and doubtless
will result in good majority in To-
vor of the subscription. 1t has been
falsely circulated that the election
would not be called until after the
new assessment had been made next
January. In some articles on this
subject written some time ago by Mr..
Ford, he exposed the fallacy Of this
report, and explained the wording Of
the act under which the election will
be called. Those who have been mis-
led into opposing this en- nterprise will
now see that only open, fair dealing
has been the course of the advocates
OF the measure. And as stated the
subscription will be per cent. upon
the assessed value of property as it
nOw stands upon the County books,
making SAT .409, and when there is
another appraisement made in Janua.
ry next, there will lie greater value
OF property upon which to raise this
specific amount-cne fifth each year
for FIVE years. To raise this sum not
over three fourths OF one per cent.
additional tax will be needed.

The EIgeieid Tragedy.
From the AUGUSTA Chronicle.


The people of EdgeGe!d are justl
indignant ct the murder Of Culbreat
by mob OF lynchers. Their indy
nation should take a practical forr
and sternly vindicate the law tbs
has been insulted and outraged. Som
OF the perpetrators of this lalsm s!!,s
q lssaa! < 4 - Sssscte1, and, II so, let them
be arrested and tried. The good name
Of Edge6eld is at stake. and theover.
majority of virtnoud and
peace. loving citizens should unite to
punish as we'll as denounce crime
that cries not alone 10 heaven but TO
earth for vengeance.
1t ia tue that this atrocity is no
worse than occasionally happens in
Eastern or Western cnmmunlsles; but
one wrong does not, as is we'll known,
excuse another or Justify it. 1t is:
true that, IN Michigan, the other day,
a family existed who had for years
defied the officers of the law with
guns and rifles. They have lived in
a fortified house, provided with port
holes. They tsrrorized the neighbor-
hood and paralyzed the law. On
Saturday an armed posse went out
aeainst them and were held at bay
for hours, and were even obliged 10
carry their wounded from the field.
The family was at last lodged in Jail,
and it remains to be seen whether the
community has pluck enough to sc
cure them and send them to States 8
priaon. In the same State on Sun
day three members of church in
dulged in free fight in the edifce
itself, two brothers attacking an edit.
or, throwing him out of the building
and pounding hia head. This was
the result OF a long church quarrel.
We presume that Michigan will
vindicate her lawa, thus held at def
auce. We trust that Edgefold will
not be behind Michigan in such vim
dication.
This mob law, unpuniehed, will
blight or seriously obstruct any CON
munity. It is more necessary for
EdgeGeld to be aseertive Of her law 8
majesty than to subscribe to a rail
road. We feel assured that oul old
and new friends across the river will
be true to themselves and 10 civiliz.-
lion. We have ever been swift to aid
and comfort them, and rejoice to De.
lieve that public opinion there issound
and healthy, and that wickedneas will
not be allowed to triumph over JUS,
