TVOOIXtt A KESTUCKT '(ilKL. Tlirowiug Dice-f 100,000 Against a Lady's Hands. A letter from Louisville to the San Fraucisco C.'ioniclc relates the following reniarkablu occurrence us Laving taken place in the former city. There lived on street, iu au unpretending estab lishment cut rounded by trees and flowers a young lady who was celebrated tor Ler beauty aud accomplishments. She l was a blonde Willi blue eyes, wuite I teeth and heavenly smile ; had the prettiest hand and foot that were ever seen ; and was tall, lithe and tlegaut. j iler wit was delicate, pointed and spark-! ling, and her mind as superior as her J I person was lovely. J he town was at I her feet, and her suitors were importu- nate, if not as many as Pennelope s like whom, she was continually wooed and i yet never won. In the midst ot her ' successes came the war the end of which .found her family impoverished, and her ; self reduced to want for the necessaries of , Me. lint she was still the same proud, , imperious mistress of hearts as before, and she refused iu quick succession the j many offers of marriage that were now made to her She had not thought of matrimony as a resource hut had other different prosppcts in view. She pro posed, iu fact, to teach school. A fellow townsman, a gentleman of wealth aud position, and a bachelor, had long been a worshipper at her shrine. He had houses and lauds estates iu the country and lots in the city stocks, in terests, and investments wherever they would pay ; aud his private establish ment ou street with her whom he i loved tvith his whole soul, he resolved j after many self commuuingi aud much j reflection, to ask her to be his wife. I "Sir," she said in answer to his propo- sal, "I do lujt love you, and I cannot; m Think tha matter over, ' ' ray dear," said he, "and in one week from to day give me Tour answer." Upon his return, on the day set she '. ' "ait! to him : "Sir you have wealth' and J Ru poor; you live in a palace, and I ' ' , . j as you see, in a coiiage : you are aesir- ous of having my hand, and I would like very much to be rich. I will throw the dice with you my hand against a hun dred thousand dollars ! Is it a bargain ?" "It is,' said he. And thereupon they pledged to each other their words to bide the hazard. It was arranged that but three persons should be let into the secret : that each sho uld select a frieud. and the two select ed friends were to choose the third. Miss named the Hon. Mr. , a prom inent member of tbe bar, as her friend : Mr. choose the Rev. Mr. , pas tor of the fashionable church on street, as his ! and these two made choice of Dr. , an eminent professor in the medical college, as the friend of both parties, liy these gentlemen the pre liminaries were arranged, aud the pro gramme was this : The doctor was to give a party at his house on a certain specified Friday even ing, at which were to be present all the best people in Louisville : the Hon. Mr. was to have a license in blank, ready to be filled at a moment's warning, and was to hold Mr. 's check for $100,- 000 : and the Rev. Mr. was to be iu waiting to perform the marriage ceremo ny's if called on to do so. The dice were to be thrown in the Hon. Mr 's study, whence the quintette were t pro ceed to the party, where, if Miss lost, they were to celebrate the wedding and if she won, they were to mingle with the guests without remark. . At precisely 9 o'clock on the event ful evening, the players and their friends met in the Hon. Mr.- .'s study. By agreement of the parties themselves, they were to throw pokerdice, and to cut cards for the first throw. The gentle man cut a queen and the lady a jack, and now came the tug of war. lie was cool, calm and pale : he was statuesque, imperious and collected. His lips were compressed : hers were formed into an extened are spanning the whole month and completing the bow. The twain sat ths cosstitbtios the oaios aid the ssroaosassr or JUNIATA COUNTY", PENH' A, JANUARY 13, 1871. J on the opposite sides of the green table, auu toe umpires aiuou ovcrmuanig. 1 he dice box being set between them, Mr. placed his finger over the top, and with the thumb clanping the side, he gave it a shake and threw two fours and two deuces. Putting aside the fours, he threw again, and threw another four. Then throwing the two remaining dice, lie threw two fives. He had thrown, therefore, a full three fourths and two fives. And now came 31iss 's turn. It was a thrilling moment, and the rustle of her silk dress in the stillness of that room Bounded like the tree tops in the wind. She began by drawing off her riirlit clove, exrnsiiie' a liandof exquisite beauty and delicacy, ou t lie forefinger of which sparkled a diamoud. Then taking up the box quickly, she gave it at long sh.ike in the air, turning it down upon the table, she threw nothing! A cloud thereupon passed over her face, and the arc of her lips assumed a still more how like curvature. But nothing daunted she at unco re took the box and threw again this ti-e turuing up four deuces and the fifth dire cocked ! Terrible mischance j Miserable luck ? agaiu she threw, and threw two deuces and two trays Putting all the dice back into the box, she had left but one other and last throw, upon which now rested her only chance- For the first time since she sat down she spoke, aakiug for a glass of water. Having drank a tumblerful, she sat for a moment pressing her cybrowa between her thumb and forefinger, and then, all of a sudden, she snatched up the dice box and shook it vehemently, aud threw three fours and two sixes, and won. And did she take the money! you ask me. most emphatically she did. I answer ! CONDITIO OF SOt'IETI IS THE SOUTH. The following letter appeared in the Daily 1'nivn, published, at Columbia, S. C, January 5, 1871 : To (it EJilur of the Daily Union : Dear Sib : The glorious work of re formation goes bravely on, iu Spartan burg Countv. There is published wetk- ,y ; t;,ig culntJf ft fihhy .iilnyi Uack. , plleet Ued The Carolina Sixtr- L wL; ,, u woul,j Le dil!!rra(se t0 any gentleman even to refer to iu public priut, were it not for the purpose of call ing the atteutiou of the public, and of the Legislature, especially to the baleful influence which is wielded by this organ of infamy, over that class of individuals who are nightly prowling through the country shooting, robhing. and murder ing the peaceful s.nd inoffensive citizens, and producing such a reign of terror as has not been known in Christendom since the bloody days of the French revolu tion Any one who has been a close ob- serverer of the inflammatory articles pub lished in this sheet, and has witnessed the fearful outrages and horrid tragedies that have succeeded, cannot fail to trace iu them the relatious of cause and effect. So surely is this the case, that we who live iu nightly dread of being murdered in our beds, grasp with eargerness this bloody sheet, to see who has been chos en as the next victim for its hellish rage. It is not esseutial to the accomplishment of its diabolical purpose, that this Bbeet should openly advocate the assasiuatiou of this, or that leading Republican, or that the wives, daughters and mothers of men should be out raged and driven from their homes. It is only necessary that in the exercise of the limitless latitude of the freedom of the press, the private or official career of a man be criticised ; that some real or imaginary defect in his course,- color or education, be pointed out, and he at onco becomes the object alike of "Reform" hate and Kuklustic rwje. A few days ago an article in this paper was devoted to a very acrimonious, un just and liberal criticism npon the quali fications of Mr. Anthony Johnson, the only colored Trial Justice in this county, aud the most intelligent and influcntal man of his race in this part of the state. As Mr. Johnson's official conduct stood untarnished, even the malignant preju dices of his bitterest political enemies could suggest no more plausible grounds for exictiug public indignation than to hold up to ridicule his literary attain ments ; and even this could not be affect ed only by publishing what pretained to be an exact copy of a summons from the pen of his officer, hut which was in point of fact a fabrication as destitue of truth as was its author of manliness and hon or. But weak and ridiculous as was this effort to heap contempt upon an officer of the law, it did not fail to produce the de sired effect. On last Friday morning, between the hours of 12 and 3 o'clock, the vicinity of Pacolet depot, was the scene of one of the most cold-blooded, unprovoked and atrocious murders that ever blackend the annals of crime. Mr Johnson was quietly reposing in his own humble cottage, surrounded by his little family, consisting of his wife and his aged mother, for whose mainten ance and contort he had spent the pre vious day, as was his custom, in patient, unremitting toil, when he was suddenly th law, j attacked by an armed band of ruffans, his door shot to pieces and broken down, and his poor, heart-broken mother order ed to procured a rope with which to hang her son. While she was affecting obedi ence to this imperious mandate, Mr Johnson escaped at the door, but was fired on and severely wounded. He was heard to say just at this time, "gentle man, I know you every one, and you will have to suffer for this." Being hotly pursued by the murderers, he was event ually overtaken and killed ; but not sat isfed with simply taking his life, they gratified their hellish instincts by placing their pistols against his head aud shoot ing it to peicee. The murderers were watched by some colored people near by and were seen to go to the store of a merchant a short way off. When this merchant was ex amined before the coroner's inquest, he stated that a party of men came to his house about the time specified : that he ' opcued the door aud let 'hem in ; that : he did not know any of them ; that they j were not disguised, aud that they told no ' business. - ! No effort whatever was made? to pursue I or trace the murderers, anil they still stalk abroad ready to obey the summons of their aristocratic masters-. The color ed people in tle vicinity are afraid to give testimony in the casr-. knowing that any information lending to the detection of the perpetrators f this horrible crime, would be given at the sacrifice oi their own lives. From this one instance, which I have hastily and briefly sketched, you May form some idea of the state of society iu this county. From the best information I cut gather, there is the smallest num ber Republicans in the county, out side tte village, wbo dare sleep in there own houees at nis:ht. During tbis nn- unually severe season, feeble old men have bei'U compelled to abandon their homes and lie out iu the woods, or seek protection ;rom the frost and snow in some barn or shuck-pen, and all simple because they declare themselves friends and supporters of law, order, and present administration. Judging from the number of men that are nightly seen parading; through the country iu disgnise, we would presume that no inconsiderable number of the cit izens actually engage in these txercises in person. Am nig those who we are in clined to believe do not prosecute them iu person, there are not a few who, by every word and action of their lives, give- encouragemt ut to such organiza tions. One of the oldest memUrs of the Spartanburg bar, said a few days ajro' as I am reliable informed, that the Democrats iroiild rule this country. And when asked how they would rule when there was so large a majority against them, he replied that tliey would "A7,7 out all the leading Rcpvblicnn." Need we wonder then that Anthony Johnson has been consigned to a bloody gntve I There is a man of property and stand ing in society in this county, who has been trying to raise a company to go to Columbia and whip out the Legislature. Would it be astonishing to find that he had succeeded sufficiently to be Able to "whip out'' a tinele member ? I am informed that one of the Democratic members of the Legislature, pro lent.. from this county, remarked a few day ago, that no Radical should have his seat iu the Legislature, without a fijlil. Surely the fight near Pacolet Depot, on ast Friday morning, could not have been the one referred to. In conclusion, let me ask is there no remedy for tbis state of affairs ? Can no means he devised by which these murders may be detected and arrested 7 No law enacted by which these aiders and abetters may be punished ? Are we to continue to lie in the woods and let our fields grow up in thorns and briers 1 Are we to be hunted down like the wild beasts of the forest, and our farniliea driven out in the woods to perish ! I can pledge for the Republican party, that all we want is peace. All we ask, is to be allowed the enjoyment of our civil and political rights. I defy any one to show a single instance in this country where a Democrat has been outraged, or his lib erties iu any way restricted by a Repub lican. Again, I repeat, is there no rem edy for us T In the name of justice, in the name of liberty, in tbe name of civi lization, in the name of the Constitution of these United States of America, which gua rautecs to every State protection against domestic violence, and in the uamo of high Heaven, Is There No Remedy for TJs ?
