Last M?i k the management of the
Tribute admitted another ecuriilous
article to lis wltimu aliit la ed
itor of tbe Sentinel and Republican.
The object of this article is not to
write of the management, and at
tache of that concern, or cabal ; that
we leave for a more convenient Ben
son, and we simply men tic n it as a
preface to a brief notice of a libelous
article that appeared in the issue of
that paper of the 23d inst
The writer of the article in question
first devotes himself to the where
abouts of the publication of the Sen
tinel and Republican, which would be
well enough nut to notice, were it
not for the fact that every other
malicious man, or fool repeats it,
and those not acquainted with mat
ters of publication, and journalism,
are thereby misled.
The article allepes that in part the
Sentinel and Republican is not pub
lished in this plucc, that it is publish
ed in New York. That is a mistake
only so far as to phu-e ; instead of
New York it is Philadelphia ; but the
fact that it is in part printed in Phil
adelphia Joes not detract from it as a
newspaper. We have known South
Carolina papers to have been printed
and edited in Pennsylvania, and it is
a common thing to employ editors,
or writers who seldom get into the
inside of a printing house, or cilice
of publication. If necessary, we
rvuld mention a most valuable church
paper that circulates in this county,
that is published in Lancaster, and
its editors, or chief editor has his
office and subscription list, and books
in his office in Philadelphia. The
tame can be Eaid of many secular
papers that are edited and managed
in the same way. The editing of a
paper, or the writing of an article
may be done on a store-bos. in a rail
road car, or in an otuee. The only
fixed thing about it is the office of
publication, and that is an iiumate
rial point But the idea tliut the
ignoramus of the Tribune wishes to
create, is that there is something
wrong about a publication that is not
all printed and edited at one place.
Intelligent men pity the ignorance,
or maliciousness of such people.
There is nothing tenable in the posi
tion that such people take on the
question, and the editing and pub
lishing cf newspapers, tud other
works throughout the world prove
the falsity of it, and stamps the man
who assumes such a position as ignor
ant or malicious.
The general and individual busi
ness of tiie world also proves that'
faithful to no men or n ensures. Un
cover the fellow or eet of ftlloWn,
and lvt ns see who he, or they, afe.
If ve had not btea for either WUson
or 2icM..n, there would have been
no concealment about it; that is not
mr way of treating public mill and
public measures.
As to the Republicanism of the
Stnlinel end Repuliican, its utterances
dnrin the cawpaiira are a matter of
! recor. end its hies are open to alL
As a journalist, we bold that it is not
the province of an editor to abuse
political opponents. We did not
write disparagingly of Mc Williams
and Yan-Onner. We did not issue a
paper that would cause McMeen and
Wilson to feel ashamed when they
meet their neigh hor opponents,
and we feel confident that had the
campaign been conducted in such a
spirit, the Republican party would
not now have the pleasure of real
izing that two of their most worth v
citizens have been elected as Gun-
mihsioners, for abuse and unfair dis
purcgeiaent lias a natural tendency
to unite people, and would have
united the Democracy in this county,
in which it is in a considerable ma
jority. There is one truthful statement
that the Tribune man made, and that
is in regnrd to a bill that we sent to
Mr. Xourse, Chairman of the Itepub
lican County Committee. He says it
was 10 dollars, and that is true. We
prononnce the bill an exceedingly
low one for the kind of work it was
rendered for. It whs work tliat re
quired 9 different forms, each of
which had to be u set np separately,
and worked off separately." We be
lieve that if the bill were passed into
any printing office, the management
of which pays all honest obligations,
it would be pronounced an exceed
ingly moderate bill.
Again, the libelous charge is made
that we luade false denials to a cliris
tian minister. In that statement, as
in all preceding cues, excepting the
1G do'iar bill, the Tribune mpn fails
of a correct statement We had been
"billed" for the Mexico meeting, but
some time before it tok place, the
question of the meetings came up in
L)r. Atkinson's office, when the Doc
tor remarked that he hail been J
"billed" for the Waterfcrd meeting.

Work of the Bed-Shirted White

Hampton county, S. C, has been
written by an eye-witness to and par
ticipant in many of the scenes re
corded, and is given herewith. The
name of the writer is withheld ; but
both the narrative and its writer are
vouched for by Congressman Smalls,
who has just arrived from South Car
olina: " This county, the "baby" county as
our Democratic friends call it, has
been dragooned by the red riders of
Hampdon' for months, in prepara
tion for the farce of a free election on
the 5th ; and extraordinary exertions
were made to carry it for the Dem
ocracy. Even Hampton himself
spent a week in our midst in settling
a feud in the ranks of his party ; and
the county has been frequently raid
ed npon by the red-shirted white
liners of Barnwell county, and even
Georgia has furnished her quota of
armed persuaders. It is therefore no
surprise that a county that in 1876
gave a Republican majority of 503
should now be carried by the Dem
ocracy by 2,500 majority.

THE MISSING STATE BONDS.
MuUB OF Til KM COME TO LIGHT.
Within the past three month, or
ince tbe exeiteioeot attendant upon the
discovery tbat tbere bad been an over
issue of tbe State loan coupon bonds of
April 19, 1853, tbere bave been pres
ented at tbe State Treasury in this city
between Clteen and twenty of these
bonds for redemption. Tbe Sinking
Fund Commissioner! bad already re
deemed tbe fall amount of tbs loan,
$'.8,000, and bad no authority given
them to redeem tbe over issue, altLongh
tbs Utter are all right on tbe face and
appear geouiue. Tbe lact tbat these
bonds bave been presented for redemp
tion and a uniform refusal to redeem
been made reopens the case. - Under
tbe act of April 19, 1853, the Legisla
ture authorised a loan to take up tbe
bonds of tbe Slate falling due 1853 and
1851. Bonds to tbe amount of $500,
000 were prepared, numbered and sign
ea, but only $4UU,UOU of tbs amount
appears on tbe books as having been le
gally issued. What became of tbe
whole of tbe reniaioiog $100,000 has
never teen satisfactorily explained;
S.9.000 of them were subsequently, in
1803, sent to the .treasury Department
With thm InlnMi.hAn V. . t I 1 t
county by a division of 'the county of j been lef, in cw of .
Beaufort for purely political reasons.
As a part of Bennfort county it was
hopelessly Republican, and early in
the preseut campaign the leaders of
that party in Beaufort were warned
not to interfere with, or canvass, or
assist the Republicans of Hampton
county at their peril ; and tbe only
two meetings that prominent Repub
licans from Beaufort attended showed
that the threats of the leaders of the
Democracy of Hampton were not
idle words. At Lawtonville, at one
of these meetings, two prominent
Republicans from Beaufort attempt
ed to address the meeting, but only
one succeeded in doing so ; and a
scene of bloodshed was only prevent
ed by the other gentleman making a
retreat and all this while Governor
Hampton was but eight miles away
on a hunt The other instance was
the attempt at Gillisonville of Con
gressman Smalls to canvass the coun
ty in his interest The place was
thronged by armed men, otScered by
aids on the Governor's staff ; and one
tai" place on the evening of the officer, Colonel Kiikland, of Barn-
meetu'g nnaer consideration, that he
felt like attending the wedding, and
that he whed we would go to
Waterford in Li'' place. We agreed
to do so, if the day would not turn
out to be a rainy one, a.il if he would
go tj Mexico in our place; and that
is how we came to be at AYaJerford
and not at Mexico.
After tbe meeting at Waterford,
and before the audience had dis
persed, Rev. Mr. Ross arose and
stated in substance that he had read

It would be just as intelligent to sav I Proclamation, as printed, would cost
th-it a printing establishment or an j d'rs, and he trusted tliat if
editor bhou'd
iisument, or an
manufacture his own
type, make his owu paper, and every
thing else that pertains to the issue
of a printed paper or book. The
first European printer did make his
own type, but now it is a rare thing
to find a type foundry connected with
a printing office, or editorial place.
On the same principle every 6tore
should be a manufactory. On the
some principle every wagon-maker
should take out all his wood work,
east and forge the iron he uses. On
the bo me principle every harness
maker should tan his own feather and
make his own buckles.
Another silly observation is that
the Sentinel and Republican is issued
from an office in Fermanagh town
ship, which, if correct, could not de
tract in the least from the paper, but
the Ux-list of this town proves the
contrary.
From the two silly observations
just considered the Tribune man
passes to a charge which is as unten
able as the past ones, and in addition
to that, is highly libelous. He

auy person present could sfty whether
tliat was true or not true, that uC
would do so. We srosc and told the
Revert-nd gentleman that we believed
that what he had read was not cor
rect that we believed that the charge
couid not be nir 400 dollars, that if
the bill would be squared by our bill
it could not near reach that amount
Such is the substance of the inquiry,
and such is the substance of the an
swer. Citizens from this place were
present, and a large audience of Wa
terford people, and lteople living in
the vicinity were present tnd heard
the inquiry, and the answer.
The . orlk .American says : The con
tributions of the North for the re
lief of the sufferers by yellow fever
have been the most munificent ever
given in the world for any relief
movement. This is saying a great
deal, but the figures will readily prove
it To say nothing of the scores of
brave and noble men and women who
have ribked their lives in the cause of
humanity, the amount given publicly
through the recognized channels

meaning lue editor of tbe Senlinel
and Republican, and such is his prac
tice. e do not know who the au
thor of the article is, but we are cer
tain thfrt he is not among our friends,
and never has been ; for no one who
has ever been in our confidence will
charge that we are openly, to the face,
for men, aid covertly against them.
We spurn with scorn the assumed
ffsmiliarity of the Tribune man. He
has never been among our confiden
tial friends, and never can become
sn.-h ; but since he claims such close
fellowship, and familiarity- as to know
us so well, we demand that he come
forward and make Ids charge good.
If he is acquainted with such facts,
let him specify, let him come forward,
and tell with whom we bargained
and tell of those whom we should
have approached by insinuation, or
fllreotiy asked not to support Mc
Meen or Wilson for the office of
County Commissioner.
Privately, when their names were
mentioned we always Rpokc favorably
cf them, and recommended them as
worthy the support or tbe tpzftrzz 2 of
te people of Juniata county, and
e very publie nientk n that we" made
that bore on the affairs of the coun
ty contained an indirect if not a di
rect recommendation in their favor,
and we defy the ignorant writer, and
with Lin the whole Tribune manage
ment, to produce one single man,
whose word is good, who will say
tnat we, by insinuation or by request
direct or indirect expression, opposed
ine election of AlcMeen and i!son.
The man who makes such a charge,
if he were in New York, or other
p.ace, where he could, he would work
to his level, tad his class would be
the kind of men who stole away
me putrid remains of A- T, Stewart
for gain, and Lis picture would find
a place in the rogues' gallery.
The man who makes such a charge,
and makes it doubly emphatic, by
declaring that he " knows the man
veil" against whom he makes it
should lo willing to come forward
end make his charge good when asked
to do so. The man who makes such
a charge, and does not produce his
proof, has neither mind or character,
that is above those who are treach
erous t pd villainous, a class that are
would be more than twice as much,
or about 200 for each death, and
nearly fifty dollars for each case re

her contributions, and her gifts were
greater by one-third than those of the
next city on the Lst This is some
thing for the South to remember, for
it is not the first time that she has
appealed to us, and never in vain.
They say that when one man at
tempts to take the life of another,
that he is insane. Within the past
few months attempts were made to
take the life of three Kings, that of
the King of Germany, the King of
spam, and, but a few days ago, the
King of Italy. It is a bad kind of
insanity to have in a country, smd can
only be successfully met by execu
tion. A dispatch from Pottsviile, dated
last Thursday, relative to the reading
of the death warrant to Jack Kehoe,
aiys that the chief of the Mollies re

the death warraul cbvfriiuuy. it
comes from an honest man." What
have the men who have been abusing
Hartranft to say to that ?

welL with his men had been riihn
three days under orders, so he said,
to be present at the taking off of
Smalls. When trouble seemed inev
itable Mr. Smalls retired to the house
of Z. T. Morrison, and with a few
colored men was penned np in the
house during the entire day, while
the red-shirts kept up a continuous
fire on the buildin'r from the sixteen
shooters, State arms, with which they
were armed. The house was riddled
with bullets, tut as darkness came
on, about a thousand negroes who
had heard of the sffair came to the
rescue, and in their nilv?st Mr. Smalls
made his way into Beaufort county
and took the cars for home.
"It was impossible for the Repub
licans to make a canvass of this
county, and during the entire night
preceding the election the roads were
patroled by the armed Democracy,
who visited the quarters of the col
ored voters, fLed into their houses,
and by every means conceivable
sought to terrify them into remain
ing away from the polls.
"On the day of the election ar
rangements had leen made among
the Republicans for massing their
strength at certain polls, so that their
numbers might be a means of pro
tection. Matthews Bluff was one of
the places decided npon, and some
four hundred colored men arrived
there 60on after daybreak. In the
election of 1676 this poll gave 178
Republican to 43 Democratic votes.
They found no managers there, but
about 10 o'clock A. M. the managers
put in an appearance ; but finding a
larger number of Republican voters
present than they had anticipated,
they refused to open the poll, and a
prominent white Democrat of the
vicinity broke up the ballot-box, and
now makes a boast of the exploit
The colored men, many of them, de
cided to go to the next poll, Beech
Branch, a distance of ten miles. They
went in squads. The first to arrive
was a party of six. who were imme
diately surrounded by the red-shirts,
who drew revolvers upon them and
compelled them at their muzzles to
vote the Democratic ticket " This de
terred the others from making the
attempt to vote at this polL
" At Black Creek over 300 Repub
licans voted ; but on closing the polls
to count the votes they refused to
admit any one but a few red-shirts to
see the ballots counted, and the re
turn only gives the Republicans one
hundred and fifty votes. At Xixville
a white man named Upchurch, who
was running for sheriff, was compel
led to hide in the house of his brother-in-law
to escape the violence of the
reu shirts, who threatened his bfe for
allowing the negroes to put him on
their ticket
" At Lawtonville the poll was held
in a room over a store, with a narrow
pair of stairs lending up to it outside
tho building. These steps were oc
cupied all day by armed red-shirted
Democrats, who scrutinized every
vote that passed them, and turned
uacit large numbers of colored men
"bo had Republican ballots in tiieir
hands. Many of thepe went to Staf
ford s Cross Roads and tned to vote,
but were refused because thev had
come from Lawtonville, and a favor
ite device of the Democratic man
agers at Lawtonville was to refuse to
receive the ballots of colored men
unless they would brirg a certificate
from the managers at Stafford Cross
Roads, which is eight miles away.
that they had not voted there that
day. At Stafford's some colored
men desired to 6ee the ballots count
ed, but they were surrounded and
fired into, and one of them had his
ear cut off, and votes were counted
without a Bingle Republican witness.
"At the last election, in 1876, only
3.000 votes were cast in this county,
all told, and the heavy vote this year
and the refusal to allow Republicans
to witness the count confirm the sus
picion that the boxes were stuffed.
" The poll at Yarnsville was abol
ished by the Legislature ; but not
withstanding this fact, the Demo
cratic managers appeared and open
ed a poll and 350 Democratic votes
were) polled."

The comniireioners consented to re
ceive this $28,000 and place it with
tbe $100,000, making in all $129,000
as legally imued by tba Sinking Fund
Commissioners. Tbe other bond,
amounting to 572,000, were stilt out,
never legally iesued, it is true, but
nevertheless in tba market, as subse
quent developements showed. Daring
tbe past summer a number of bonds of
this overissue were presented to tbe
cashier of the State Treasury for re
demption but they were refused pay
ment for tbi reasons given above
that $128,000 tbe authorised loan, bad
been redeemed and tbe redemption of
one of tbe over-i6sue would be a vir
tual acknowledgment of tbeir validity,
and this responsibility tbe Sinkiug Fund
Como.iioners did not wih to assume.
Holders were also informed tbat tbe
question of tba redemption of tbe over
issued bonds will be submitted to the
Legislature aod tbe Commissioners will
be guided in tbeir course by whatever
acion tbe Assembly may see wiae to
order And tbat brings the matter
down to the present. As stated above
since the excitement of August 7th,
when the transactions of tbe over issue
first came to light, tbere bave ben
between fifteen and twenty of these
bonds sent to tbs Treasury for redemp
tion. All of them are of tbe denomin
ation of $1,000. The greater portion
of these bonds came from New York
and Philadelphia, and proves very con
clusively that tbey were negotiated in
those cities by some person familiar
with bond operation. On tbe 7th of
November one of these bonds was pres
ented from Philadelphia tod redemp
tion refused. Yesterday tbe same
bond was sent from tbe Central Nation
al Bank, of Philadelphia, and through
its Ilarrisburg agent again presented
and again refused payment. Tbe Cen
tral National bad given notice tbat if
tbe State Treasury refused pament of
tbe bond, tbe same course should be
taken as is pursued in tbe case of a
protested note, and accordingly tbe
bond was protested before a llarrisburg
notary. Tbe protesting of a State
bond is a rat ber novel transaction in
financiering, and what course can be
Uken to obtain the value therof is not
quite clear. But it is probably made
as a test case by holders of other $72,
000 bonds, although tbe final issue can
not be satisfactory to either party un
til the Legislature passes judgment.
It bas been said tbat these bonus
were never overissued. That they
were a myth, but tbs feet tbat almost
$20,000 worth bave been presented at
the Stats Treasury effectually exjdodes
this story.

out a contusion of traius by telegraph
with greater promptness and skill than
his most experienced train dispatcher ;
he could dictate tbe terms of a pool by
tbe rapidity of bis calculations, and tbe
comprehensive informStion always at

tne longest railroad in tbe world hav
ing 4700 miles of road nnder bis im.
uifrdiate personal supervision. It was
under bis direction tbat tbe Pennsyl

however, never bad tba aid bf great

tbat be was always able to vanquish the
cliques and over-ride tbe embarrass
