He is the most inoffonsive one of the family, and it is not thought that he will be molested especially as young Miller, the wounded man there, in such a critical conditioni that the excitement of an on Tolbert might kill him. Miller is now sulffering from pnoumonia and his father, who is with him, says his right lung is badly affected.

Stockman was accused today of selling ammun4ition to negroes anid loaning themi a wagon and there was a cry for vengeance against him, but the accusation was denounced as a fake by several members of the mob. When I saw him and his wife at 3 o'cloek at, their place they wore apprehensive and were asking for prot- tion and the wife and children were with fear. ANoT jX MAN BUTcHERID. Essex another negro, was killed today. He was shot at noon by a party of who said they picked himi up miles east of the church.

Hoe was kilkd under the oak at Rehobeth among "the four corpses left there from the before. August Kohn, of the News and, Conrier, and myself, going to Pho'cnix, happened upon the party just kg they arrived. They said the negro had being a member of the crowd of 200 that fired on Watson's store when Etheredge was killed, saying that he had been summoned to go by Tolbert. The party was not disposed to talk much. Halting with the negro fifteen paces from the tree, they ordered him up to take a stand among the corpses.

WVhen he was ini three paces of the first corpse, walking with his back to them, they cursed him and sent a volley of shot into him from shotguns arnd Winches. ters. -He fell forwanrd over the other corpses. After firing a fuv more times into his body the party ro. moiunted and turnedl Qt toward Phoe.

Just before we arrived at Phoenix we met a party of about fifty horsemen and a dozen teams saying they were going to meet several parties from Greenwcod and join rforces and go on to Smithville after the Tolberts and a large party of negroes understood to be at Smithville. It is reported tonight that Miller cannot -live till morning London McKinney, an old Democratic negro who wore a red shirt and carried a Hampton lbanner in '78, today- viewed the remains of his son, Wade Hampton McKinney.

He said! his son was contrary, and would not heed his father's counsel not to mix with the Republicanr)s. A party from other counties wanted to kill the old man when they first saw him under the tree where his son's body lay, but his white friends saved his life with difficulty. MORE TOLDERTS WANTED. A small party arriving here tonight frim Mc(lormiek reports that at a representative meeting of citizens thore last night resolutions were adopted demanding that Jim Tolbert, who runs a store there where his wife is postmistress, leave the town in thirty-six hours. A member of the committee who served the on him at 10 o'clock this morning at his house said that Jim confessed to distributing Tolbert election tickets to nsgroes and said he expected to be killed and made only the one request that the committee give him a copy of the resolutions.

TIhis was ref used. Tolbert wss told that his family would be protected. He missed the train today but will go east tomorrow. A telephone message from Phoenix tonight says Bon Collins, the seventh negro, was shot on the Stallworth place, near Phoenix. Will White, the alleged slayer of Etheredge, was seen last night.

He has not been caught. JOHN R. AND JOE TOLBERT IN JAIL AT coLUMBIIA. Columbia, S. Nov.

They came this morning angook rooms at Wright's hotel. Liezt. Wyatt Aikren, of Abbeville, swore iput a warrant charging them with riot." It is alleged that a party of soldie.s intended to lynch the two men tonight.

What has been done lacks the sanction of thoso best acquainted with the situatioT). The greatest injury to innocent negroes came, no doubt, from fright and hunger, but the danger line has been readied. There was room for grave apprehensions that the armed force Ihat had gone to Phoenix to defend the weak, protect the inmocent and punish the guilty would degenerate into a ruthless mob and commit murder indiscriminately.

This is why the cool-headed citizens of this place advised the release of the Tolberts in Columbia. While that dispatch was signed by only one leading citizen it was endorsed by overy one of the many to whom it was submitted, and I have yet to boar the first dissent. It was the only wise course to pursue in the intorest of law and order. This much is said by men who Ytro no more apologists for the conduct of the Tolberts, past and present, than those who were so clamorous for their heads. No, Groonwood made no deal with the Tolberts.

We did not spirit them away, or even assist in their escape, but once awvay we are willing for them to remain away rather than jeopardise the lives of innocent men and prolong a riotous condition by their return at this time. A. J. IiEPUILIUANs WIN. INouae to Thomi ny TwOunty Ma Washington, Nov.

House of Representatives is nowv con ceded to be Republican. Chairman Babcock says he has twvent majority. The Republicans cairied five districts West of the Missonri which they hardly hoped for but these were offset by the loss of four districts in New York and one in Massachusetts, so that Babcock's original calculation as to the result proved to be approxim ately correct. In California the Republicans two congressmen and probably three, control the legislature and elect, heir State ticket by 20,000 majority. In Washington the RIepubllicans have overcome the fusion majority o1 12,000 of two years ago, elect both congressmen and make a clean sweep.

The women suffrage and local optior on mrunicipal taxation armendmenti to the constitution are beaten. The Democrats gain two congress men in Maryland and one in West Virginia and claim the West Virginji legislature by four majority on join ballot. The Republicans carry Nobraska by a small majority. They gain ii Ohio and carry Illinois by a majority. The Republhcans carry Indian with a ruah holdingr their own.

Iary Thoraldoma-The Mn Olad to (Special to News and Courier.) Columbia, S. Novewber 11.Columbia had two shows today, both of which wore interesting to citizens. One was the unusual sight of seeing a whole regiment go through the process of being paid and mustered out. The other was Pawnee Bill's Wild West aggregation. By 9.30 this morning six compan.

ies of the Virst Regiment wore marched up from camp to the front of Agricultural Hi1, whoro the paymaster had establishod temporary headquarters. It was a cold day, a brisk north wind chilling the men to the bone as they waited the final act which would make them ordinary citizens once more. Capt. Fuller of the United States Army, mustered them out, and iv oeh man's name was called he step. pod forward from the company ranks.

This was done in order to ascertain that all sola iers on the pay roll were present. There were no absentees, of course. Majors Carr and May were the paymasters, and they arrived promptly at their office. They brought with them two heavy iron boxes, containing about $95,000 in crisp, new greenbacks. Almost a whole com-.

pany was detailed to guard the precious boxes. It took but a comparatively short time to adjust matters. The officors were first served with their cash.

A telegrain. was sent to Washington about the matter, but no reply was received.

Each privato drew on an averagt about $05, and by 4.30 all had reeeived their money. Many of thenr left for their homes during the morn ing. Others had to remain here un til tomorrow.
