!as re-elected with Mr. Haines. He has
thus served six years, and been bonorsid by

New South Caroitua,
The tidings from "the capital of South
Carolina, says the New York Tribune, is
calculated to astonish the Rip Van Wink
les of the North. A-great meeting of the
People has been held preliminary to a re'
construction of the State under the recent
act of Congres . s, and such eminent chiefs of
the late Gligarehy as Gen, Wade lJainpton
have fraternizhd heartily with. the most
capable and trusted negroes; tti9 leading
whites and blacks vying With each othe'r in ,
expnesions of- mutual confidence and good
will. The Whites concede to the blacks
every right Which they claim for them
selves; while the blacks take the lead in
a=king yz eongress to repeal all disabling and
di: franchising acts, so as to alow the State
to command; the services of her ablest and
most trusted, citizens. In' abort, South
Carolina has; already • taken her stand on,
the true, broad, generous Nationnl Plat
form of Universal Amnesty with jimpar-
I
tial Suffrage; and will goon be in Congress
shaming the! obstiote owls of:the jMMSiddle
and Western States out 'of their lingering
prejudices and affectations 'of prejudicc
against a recognition of the. inalienable
Rights of Man.
Such is the natural, beneficent Operation
of the Reconstruction act of Congress, so
ff,rcely denouacei by the Pri.sident and
,by the Copperhead Congressmen and Jour
oats, as an act "to organize Ihell" in the
South, to: destroy Liberty, md to whelm
the whole land in anarchy and military des
potism. SO far as we can not w see, every

and cordially reorganize on the basis pro_
posed by Congref,s, and have its delega

ger The Republicans of Pennsylvania
will rejoice that the apostate Cowan has
been squarely rejected !by the Senate as
Minister to Russia. He not only betrayed
the faithful men of the "State who bad hon
ored hint quite beyond his deserts, but he
was the chief, of the corruptionists who bar
tered JohnsOnla offices from place to place,.
to seduce - Republicans from their :convic
tion; for a priCe. It was fi ting. therefore,
that one so debauched and so conspicuous
in the qFort to debauch others, should be
the first United States Senator ever reject

Wyoming ieterans were detailed for .the
the occipt. Hewashanged at preciiely
2o'clock:and fide minutes. When asked
by Sheriff 'Leer if he had an} thing to
,
sriy, he reitin l eStid - -.,Father. Pitisimmons
say for hit* that he was sorry'-for'4il that
he. had dole, not particularly in refer'Siiee
to the pressnt, the immediate past, or the
futhre, but 'for all of his sins; that he - was
thankful for all the favors from the Sheriff
.and his officers during his` confinement;
that he did not mean' to take the life of
Alice McElwee; that .1(3 forgave all, especi
allyi his prosecutors, and that he had noth 7
ing rnoreto say. The ,body was eat down
after remaining suspended for 20 minutes,
and was delivered to the undertaker. It
was conveyed to the datholic.cemetery and
interred.. Wiley jmnintained throughout
the execntion the'same stoical indifference
which bad characterized him during his
trial and confinement.
The prisoner made the following confess
ion prior to his execution:
I am 2G 'eats of age, and was born at
Plymotith, in this county; I folloWed canal
businels until 4e beginning of the war; I
had no oppertunities for school edudatiou or
religirius instruction;' enlisted in the army;
deserted eight times, and was sentenced to
be shot; at Gettysburg: I deserted again;
then came home: I robbed Robert Abbots,
who lives on the plains, of $700; I then
robbed a shoe store at Blindtown. After
Mentioning a number of other robberies he
continued:, On the 14th - of April last t
went with two others to the house of Mr.
Ilungerford, opened the dour ity a secret
latch, and waled to the bed, but I had no
pistcl; I told the old man I wanted his
money; I demanded the key of his trunk;
the three with me in the mean time built
a fire, and cooked supper, we only made
;450 on that 'operation. (The prisoner
here laughed.) After that, we went. to
Wyoming County and entered the house
of-Heury Ellsworth:and opened the door.'
and went in, but only got s2—oh, yes, and
managed to get an Overcoat; went into an
other house with a pistol; there were three
of us; we went into . the bedroom; there,
was a man and his Wife there; I told them
to keep quiet; we only got a watch and
chain there. (The prisonerpgain laughed)
We then went to the house of Abraham,
Ityman ; his clieughterwas in bed; we search-1
ed the bureau, but found nothing and left:
(The priSoner then Made a statement about
the murder, saving about this affair:) Thisl
girl, five or six years ago, .worked in a
machine-shop; I went into the army; wheal
I returned I found her destitute, and I paid
her board and kept her at a place called
Blindtown; what she wanted I provided
her with until six or eight months ago; she
was in the habit of seeing other men; 1 1 1
was not sparking her; I rltd not care inuen i
for tier; on the morning of the,shooting I
went there before daylight;: opened the
badk door and went to sleep; slept there
until Miller got up, when he pushed rm.
and said, "You devil; you are again here;"
I then gut up and went into Miller's bad;
at 8 o'clock Mary Fraee came to the house
and I got up; I jumped up with a knife in
this hand,. which I wag playing with; I
stuck the knife in the table, and then put
it in my pocket; I tore my coat doing so;
Mrs: Miller then offered to mend my coat;
in doing so she foUnd my revolver; I told
her to let it alone; .I did not want to injure
this woman,j' McElwee ; my revolver had
only three loads in; pointedit at Miss Frace
in . fun; I did the Same to Mrs. McElwee ;T.
thought the pistol was only half-cocked I
(lid not intend to mur4er her, thinking that
the barrel of the pistol t. snapped - %!,,s.
et4ty; Ciis is all I know of the affair.
-D OTT' OF 'TOWNSHIP AUDITORS Tt
may not he generally knoWn that a gener
al law of the last session of the .Legislat l ure
approved April 11, 1806, requires the .
bounty aceounts, of every district to be cam
(thy. audited by the ToWnship Auditors,
who shall "prepare a,' condensed statement
of the condition! of these finances, and pub- .
fish the same, at, tp6 cost of the district, for
three successiTei weeks, in two papers." It
not only requires this duty to be performed
by the Township Auditors, but imposes a
penalty of fifty; dollars upon each Auditor
who refuses to ;comply, one-half ;of which
fine gees to the prosecutor, and the other
halt to the school fund of the district. 'II
provide's, also, that the Auditors shall no
tify the School Directors or other parties
having the dlsbursement of the bounty
funds, to appear before them at such time
as the Auditor, shall fix, for the purpose of
enabling the.l.A.uditors to close up the
bounty necourits of the township for the
likal year.

Hut Am WOODRUFF, well known among

He gained an extensive reputation by
