Tbe f iws which underlie tbe Kel-o- SH';lord and Corbin-Butler con test in tbe National Senate are so sime, and should be so well under stood, that it is almost impossible to eone-ive ay tbe so-called non-parti S'id ana uiaepenaent gentlemen in that body i-bould find any difficulty in Foixig ii( m mem. i ne Kellogg case is tiuipitcity itself; and by any honest and unprejudiced noo political jury in tbe land would be decided in faroroftbo Lepublican claimant af ter a half hour's bearing. As to tbe legality of Mr. Keluhjg's election there can be ao doubt. He was chos en in conformity with every law which bears upon tbe subject. When be was elected there was only one Leg islature io Louisiana. Tbe Demo crats bad up to tbat tune made ao claim to either a Senate or Assembly TLe body by w hich be was chosen bad been declared legal by tbe only constitutional Board of Canrassers in the State. It was recognized by Ger. Pack A(, wbo was then in un disputed possession of the State-house and tbe seals and belongings cA tbe Executive cflice, so4 in tbe full en joyment of all tbe rigbta guranteed to him under tbe laws of Louisiana and tbe United Stater. Having been elected by tbe body so constituted and recognized by Republicans and Democrats al.k.

Uoon tbis certificate. noobraioed witboat oppoeiuon or dispute on tbe part of tbe leading Democrats in tbe State, tbe Republi can claimant comes to Washington asking fw the Feat to which, in com mon justice, be is entitled. On the other band, Judge Sror ronn demands admission on tbe plea mat be wa elected by a Legislaiure recognized as legal ly "the respecta ble citizens of Louisiana " Tbe claim is so trivial a one as to need but little attention. Long after Mr. Keixcmi's election, tbe White League of New Orleans, encouraged by reports trnns uiilted to tbem by gentlemen wLo were or wbo at least professed to be, in tbo confidence of the National Ad ministration, decided that they would jmake an effort to break up tbe legal I State Gorcrnment. By force of arms and the most barefaced bribery, tcey succeeded in doing so They set up a Legislature of tbeir own making, seated men who bad absolutely no claim, and then proceeded to ballot for United States Senator. By this mockery of a Senate and Assembly Judge Spoffoud was elected, and re eeired a ceniGeate eigned by Gen N'lCHOLLR, tbe defea'ed Democratic candidate, who at tbe time in ques tion was not even the de. rart G jr ernoroftbe Commonwealth. The facts in the Corbin-Butler con test are not more complicated than those already recited. Tbe only reg ular and official canrass of lat rear's election for members of tbe South Carolina Legislature revealed the fact that one hundred and sixteen members of ibe Assembly, and six teen members of tbe upper bouse had been duly elected. Because of abso lute proof of fraud murder, and vio lence in tbe counties of KdgeQeld aud Laurens, the returns from tbem were rejected by the Board of Canrasers, and nnder tbe law tbe candidates in tbem were refused ccrtiDcates. On Nor. 2S, one year ago, the Legisla ture came together, and tbe Senate, half the members of which heldorer, at once organized without trouble. Upon tbe roll were eighteen Repub licaus whose seats were not corner ed and thirteen Democrats. Tbeie were two racaocies from the Laurens and Edgefield districts. A full House of Assembly in South Carlioaa con sists of one hundred and tweuty-four members, but owing to tbe palpable frands and outrages to which we bare already referred, only one hun dred and sixteen certificates' f elec tion were issued. Of tbe members holding these necessary titles to peats, fii'ty-nino, an undoubted tniipritr. and. as is claimed by tbe beat loeal minds in tbe country a cnnstitutional quorum, came together in the Assem bly Chamber of tbe State-bouse, and was duly organized It then proceed ed to consider a number of contests, and seated fourteen Republican mem bers from tbe counties of Barnwell, Abberille. and Aiken, thereby in creasing its membership to 73 In the so constituted Assembly, tbe members of the Democratic tninoritr refused to take their eents, bat with out tbem, and acting in full aenrj with tbe only Senate which bad a le pal existence, it went on with tbe business of tbe Senate. Oa tbe 12 tb of December, tbe day legally set aoart for that purpose, the election for Unit ed States Senator occured All tbe Senators participated, the Democrats acting with tbe Republicans, and nf tbe whole number of rotes cast, Da vid T Colt nix receired seventeen majority. In tbo Assembly, sixtr- eiebt members participated, and Mr Connix receired Cfty-eitrbt votes The next day, in accordance witb the law, both bouses met in joint ses sion, compared tbeir journals, and declared that he bad been dolr elect ed to tbe United States Senate. Subsequently he receired bis certifi cate from Gor. Ciiambeblaix, who as that time and for some weeks af ter, was reoeoized as Gorernor, eren by Wade Hamptox.

On tbe 19th of December, after tbe day fixed by law, before Gor.

Tbe roll of membership of this bogus Assembly consisted of serenty nine names. Bitlek's total rote, bowerer, amounted to only sixty -four. It is upon this flimsy pretext mat tne nero oi Hamburg claims a seat in tbe nation's Senate, and iimor ingtbe fact, that tbe State Senate as such took no part in the so-called election, overlooking tbe fact that tbe Democrats nerer eveo claiiusd a Sea -ate nntil late in March, after tbe over throw of Chamkrrlaix, and w illfully refusing to admit the lurtber fact mat lit'TLEH certiucate was not signed by tbe Gorernor of Sonth Caro lina who was in undipnted p is-e-s ion of his office until January, 1877, J"Iaj Aan, the "honest, conscientions, and bigb-miuded B yaht," joins with Joiix J - Pattfrsox in rctinir for his admission.

Butler, of ;ogtb Carolina, wbo, through tbe treach ery ol a man seeking immunity from legal prosecution, is now endeavor ing to obuiu a eat in the United btales benate. Prior to the monib of July, 1876, he bad not be-o beard -f outside of his own State, and eren there be was known aa one of tbe worst "last ditchers" in "unrecon structed Edgefield." He was not satisGed with such obfcurity, bower er, and finding no legitimate way to ji&ke himself notorious, be asouuicd command of the Hamburg White Leagoe tbat bo'ebered a dozen or e, of unoffending black men, and at once becauie known all orer 'he na tion as "Ilanibarg Massacre Butler." Tbe details of the manner ju wbicb be obtained tbis proud distinction ought to be sufficienriy familiar to tie American people, but as it is possi ble tbat tbey bare been Joat aicbt of io tneee days of reconciliation and nnirersal good w ill," it will not be out of place at tbis time to briefly rerk-w inem. On tbe Four; h of July, 1S7G. a company of Uacfc Militia regularly organized under tbe laws of tbe State and nnder the command of oSeera duly ' commissioned by Daniel C.

A few nights sgo, site side of the river, were any signs of tbo national banner to be seen. While they were bu celebrating ibe binhday of their country, two of tbe unreconstructed gentlemen wbo are now supposed to be "reconciled," rode through the main street of Ham burg Ooeof tbem was nearly rela ted to (ien. Butler, and as has been sworn to by competent witnesses, they were boib drunk. Filled witn that courage which cornea from tnncb corn whiskey, they drore straight op to the Militia company, and, though there was ample roov for tbem to pass on either side, insolently de manded that it break ranks and let them go by. The Captain of the company rery properly refused to comply, and, seeing that discretion was ibe best part of ralor, tbe two wbitc men went their way without further trouble But they were not satirfied. They had been obliged to yield to a band of "niggers," aud wiih many a good "last ditch" oath ibey rowed tbey would be reroneed. To "this end tbey secured the srf ices cf Gen. M. C Butler, Wbo was com missioned to prosecute and secure the punishment of the leading men of the Mi'iiia company for obstruct ing tbe streets. He did the work as signed to bim, but not according to the generally -recognized mod? of le gal procedure. It is true that war rants were duly issued for all tbe prominent citizens wbo bad dared to parade on tbe Fourth, but the real object of the proceedings was not rerealed until some days after, when it was intimated to the black men that they could only escape punish ment by giving up tbeir arms, State arms, it will be remembered, duly is sued to regularly enlisted men, and disbanding tbeir organization. This tbe members of the company posi tively refused to do, and fearing for tbeir lives, as well tbey might, a number of them came together to consult as to what course it would be best for them to pursue. Heariog of Uieir meeting, Gen. Butler declar ed with quite as much profanity as be is reported to hare recently used in addressing Senator Patterson, tbat "the nigger M litia business bad gone far enough, and would bare to be stopped." Then, as bas been sworn to by a do.ea witnesses, re ported in the Democratic papers of both Georgia and South Carolina, aud nerer been denie 1, he rode over 1 1 Augusta and told a number of what are called in tbe South "the het young men" tbat be might need tbeir services and tbeir guns. . They were only too ready to aid buu, and soon a large ptrty of Georgians had joined the South Carolina ompany already assembled. Of course, tbey came together to defend tbeir homes, there never was a similar meeting held in the South which was not arowedly for that purpose. They were afraid of a ne- ero uprising at least tbey said they and to avert tbe threatened' were, danger tbey proceeded to a building in which ibe score or S3 of unfortua ate colored militiamen were tremb ling for their lives, and with rifle and field cannon began to fire ioto it. A few of tbe ncroes returned the fire, but most of tbem broke from tbe house and ran through a field behind it, hoping to escape. They were shot down as tbey went. According to tbe testimony of sereral Democratic witnesses, "two of them were riddled with bullets, and one bad bis bead almost entirely shot off." Tbe men in the bouse then surrendered and some of tbe fugitives were captured, until twenty-nine persons were ip tb" bands of Gen. Butler's command. To quote from the Augusta Chronic cle, one of tbe most pronounced Dem ocratic papers in the Sooth, "Seren of tbe prisoners were taken out and killed. Those who were considered ringleaders of tbe disturbing element in tbe county were carried to a corn field near tbe rirer and let loose. As tbey ran tbey were fired upon aod killed. Butchered, if we may bo al lowed to add, because they bad dared to celebrate tbe Fourth of July be cause tbey bad been so unfortunate as to oO'eod a relative of General Butler.

' On tbe strength of tbe reputation thus made, be was elected by a bo gus Legislature to a seat in the Uni ted Stales Senate, and if be can con tinue to control Messrs.

There is none in the mind of any honest and fair-tbinkiog Uwyer io or out of South Carolina. At tbe lime of tbat election the Democrats did not bave a legal quorum in tbe Houe, aod were entirely without a Senate Even counting the votes of the M bite League representatives from Laurens and Edgefield, where there were more Democratic rotes cist than there were male inhabitants, ibe beroof Hamburg was still with out ballots enough to eren gire him the appearance of baring been elected In spite of this, bowerer, he obtained a certificate from "ibe good aod pure" U'ade Hani!t n, and with thistraud uleut djcumeut io one band and a slare-drirera' wbip In the other, be is forcing bis way into' tbe highest' legislative body in the land.

After some time bad elapsed tbe mother of the murdered woman as tonished tbe community by charging that ber daughter bad been murder ed by bim (tbe daughter's) husband. Mr. Michael Shaw was a man of des perate character, and some hesitation was shown in arresting bim upon suspicion. The mother swore, how ever, that ber daughter bad frequent ly told ber that ebe was afraid Mr. Shaw would kill ber '.bat bo bad beaten ber frequently and bad threat ened to kill ber. It was discovered also that be bad once been arrested for beating bis wife The ru tber further testified that the little child bad told ber, after the excitement had left ber calm, tbat ber "father bad killed mother."

And now some strange derelop ments are nude A short time ago Mr. E U Murpbr, a professional de tectirn of great skill, with headquar ters at Atlanta, receired a letter from Colonel W S McComb, of Bildwin county, enclosing an anonym ms let ter, in which ame startliag state ments were made Tbe aaooym u- letter, written in a legible bat awk ward band evidently by 8me per son whose Boeers were more at home around the plou?h-bandle than tbe pen stated that Shaw, ihe wile-murderer, bad been for a long time the leader of a band of ruffians liring in the deep forests near him, and that he was the author of perhaps a dozen murders.

He further said tbat Sbaw aod bis crowd bad a regular organization and kept tbe section in which tbey operated to a tate of terrorism.

Upon receipt of tbia letter Mr. Mur phy went at once to Baldwin county and investigated tbe matter thor oughly. He reports upon bis return tbat affairs were much worse than be expected to find tbem. He found tbat Sbaw bad collected about himself a band of depperate men tbat be called "Tbe Georgia Tigers" They bad a secret organization, aod held the thin ly settled section around tbem in a complete state of terrorism. He found the corpses in the creek as described.

Lyarhiaft- f atrUhec. NAsnriLLK, Nov. 2S Oa Mon day moruiog a x-legrana aa receiv ed here from Athens, Ala , stating tbat Roper, alias McGhee, wbo c mi ni i tied ibe asault on Miss Templeion, bad been caught and would be brought back on ibe train clock the same evening, road authorities furnished train, and Roper, tinder at six o ' The rail a special a strong guard, reached Columbia at balf past Lur o'cljck. A large crowd bad as sembled at the depot, and Roper was Conducted to tbo bouse of Miss Tem pleion, in order thai tbe young lady might identify bim. Sbe immediate ly recognized him, but requested tbat be be taken to jail until morning, wben sbe hoped to be less excited, as she did not desire by any possible mis'.ako to fasten the crime upon tbe wroog person. In tbe aooflU with Miss Templeion R per dn oped bis pipe and lost several bilious from bis coat, all of which bad been secur ed to assist in identifying bim. Wben Rop r was arres.ed he did nut bave on me domes wbicn ibe young lady bad described; but upon eenrcb iog him it was discorered that be bad on a blu blouse coat under his shirt and had on an extra pair of pauta- loous, boib of which suiceu ibe de scription gmen of bim. Tbe bullous picked up on tbe scene corresponded wiib those on the coat concealed ua der tbe sbirt, and tbe pipe was iden tified by sereral uegroes as being tbe one Rjper wasseeum bare tbe ereu ing befo-e the assault. At the re request of Miss Templeion aud ber family Roper was taken to jail. Soon aftsr nightfall a large crowd assembled before tbe jail aod de manded ihe keys from the jailor. Tne negro was taken from bis cell, but at ibis momenta number of prom inent citizens ruabed in and entreat ed the crowd to await tbe comiug in rcstigaiion, au-l partly by entreat ies, partly by threats and partly by force, succeeded in carrying McGnee back to bis cell. Speeches were made aud tbe people were induced to disperse. Roper, while tbo angry crowd were dragging bim from bis cell, stoutly denied bis guilt, but said he kuew wbo bad perpetrated tbe deed, and if be were released be coulJ secure the arrest of the right man. At nine o'clock yesterday morning Rjper was taken from tne jiil by ibe Sheriff aud a posse of armed men aud taken to tbe borne of Miss Templeion to be identified. A largo concourse of people bad assembled upon tbe puclic square, and sereral cilizaus went up into ibe ibird story of ibe court bouse- and projected a Urge bjatn from one of tbe windows, To ibis beam ws at tached a block ana tackle, hive-i- ibiug was done quietly and orderly. N j one was disguised. L oJer ibe beam was written in large letters, "Tbe will of the people." Tbe guard coureyed lvper to Miss Templeion, wbo exclaimed : "Vou are tbe wertch ! Why did you treat me so: loumust die for t!." R -per said not a word; in fact, he bad beeu doggedly silent siuce he was taken from jail the last time. As tbe guard was returning to jail with their prisoner a crowd rub- ed up u tbem, seized Roper and car ried him to the spo: selected for his execution. The Mayor, the Crimin al Court Clerk aud some negroes then addressed tbe crowd aod asked tt)eu) not to mutilate tbe body of Ro per. A dry goods box was placed uuder ibe bean) and tbe uegro wa- made to stand upoa it. Mr. Cbiocb Truett, a policeman, tbeo asked him if be bad anything to say, to which be replied, "Notbiug at all " Trueit ibea placed ihe rope around his neck and drew bim up. Tbe fiend exhib ited no emotion and met his faie without pr.r.es: or eren a word of de nial. Talk of Deelarlaar Mr. Tilden Prcal drat If the Democrat Uel a Majority.

About fifteen minutes after six o'- (cluck last ereniug two individuals entered tbe jewelry store of William Wieman, at No. 13 Wylie arenue, and approached bis sou, wbo is about seven years of age, and asked it be would go and get a one dolUr bill changed for them, saying that ibey would giro bim fire cenia if be would do so. Tbo boy consented, and, ta king tbe bill, left tbe store and went across tbe street t-r ibe purpose of gelling tbe bill exebauged As quick as be left tbe store, bowerer, tbo parlies sprang over the counter aud opened the front ca-e in which there was a large lot of watches. And hastily caicbing a number of ibeni tbe thieves made for tbe door and escaped with their booty. A moment afier wards Mr. Weiman, wbo was in a room adj fining engaged ia eating bis supper, entered the siore, and noticing tna: bis son, whom he bad left in charge of tbe store was not there, be iusiautly suspected tbat something was wrung and walked rapidly toward tbe front of ibe store wbere be discovered ibe wholesale disappearance of the watches aud immediately rushed out iutoibesireel aud gave ibe alarm, but he a a mo ment too late. Word was then sent to ibe Mayor's office aud tbe detec tives started on tbe trail. But at miduigbt ibe thieves were still at liberty. Tbe son of Mr. Weiman staies that one of ibe parties was a siout beary set xau aud tbe other was a boy of about tilteeu or sixteen years of age. There were twenty oue gold watches aod tbirty-six sil ver watches taken, and Mr. Weiman estimates bis loss in ibe neighborhood of tweuty-fire hundred dollars.

Tbe ground of tbe defeuce was iueanity, and tbe jury acquitted bim on tbis plea. Tbe erideuce was to tbo ef fect tbat Wolfe had been drinking bearily for sereral days and that his father had notified several saloon keepers not to sell bim liquor, that tbis exasperated yoong Wolfe and be tb-eatened vengeance on bis father. On the Sunday of tbo murder, while Wolfe was still suffering from mania-a-potti, be walked to an outbuilding, where he procured a beary hickory club. With ibis club in band he re turned to the bou-te ana thence walk ed out into the orchard near the resi dence, wbere bis father was sitting on a chair. Approaching the gray haired old man be raised tbe club and wiib all the power be p)S-ieeetl brought it down on bis father's bead.
