As I was oing to remark, I have invented and Official from South Carolina. The following official report of R. M. Wallace, TJuited States marshal for South Carolina, addressed to Attorney General Taft, was read at the cabinet meeting, Oct. 30th. CHARLESTON, Oct. 16. Sin:—I have delayed giving you a re- port of the unfortunate political riot at a place near the town of Cainhoy, in this county, until I could get a correct state- ment of facts. It is one of the legitimate results of the intimidation policy, or Mississippi plan, adopted by the demo- cratic party in opening their campaign, for the purpose of breaking down the re- publican majority in this state. The first meeting in this county, at which the democrats put their gun policy in prac tice, took place over a month ago on Croper liver, ten miles from the scene of thq • late riot. The republicans had called a meeting, and tho democrats in the city chartered a steamboat and took about one hundred and fifty well armed men to the meeting. They formed their men in a line near the stand, and de- manded that they should have half the time for their speakers. The republi- cans did not relish this kind of \peace- ful political discussion,\ but the request was hacked up by one hundred and fifty Winchester repeating lilies in the hands of men who knew how to use them, and they consented to a division of time. Other meetings followed this with a sim- ilar display of arms, and in. order to avoid collision, which was imminent at each meeting, the executive committees of each party arranged to have a series of joint discussions, and agreed that their people should not come armed to tht' meeting. The discussions in the county htid been going on with more or less of bitterness and animosity, mainly grow- ing out of the fact the democrats earned a large force of men from the city to ev- ery meeting, who irritated the republi- cans by their denunciation of their lead- ers and their party. The meeting at the brick church near Cainhoy, was called by republicans, and was largely attended by the men who were present at the first meeting, at which the democrats had en- forced their demand to speak; but had not attended any of the joint discussions, and many of them,being suspicious of the democrats, carried such guns as each man had at his house, consisting of old muskets, shot-guns and fowling pieces; but no militiamen -went there with state arms and ammunition, as the democrats claim, and the best evidence of the fact is that all the dead were shot with buck shot,and not with rifle balls. When these coloreclropublicans arrived at the place of meeting, their leading men told them that they were violating their agreement by carrying arms, and that they must de- posit their arms at Some place away from the grounds. The colored men complied with the request, and some guns, say fif- teen, were placed in an old dilapidated building, some fifty yards from the stand, .and the others across the ravine in the woods. About one hundred democrats accompanied the speakers from the city on the steamboat and appeared at the meeting. The first speaker, was a demo- cratic candidate for prosecuting attorney of the circuit. He was followed by W. J. McKinley, (colored,) who was a dele- gate to the Cincinnati convention from this state. Soon after ?IeKinley com- it^ll A\. UU11H.- U >T t I'll WiJl-Jl.

The Mormon assassin Lee, convicted in Salt Lake City, was on Tuesday given the agreeable choice of throe methods of undergoing tho death sentence. He was required t ) select whether he would he hanged, or shot, or\ beheaded—and ha preferred to be shot. Shot he will be, accordingly, on tho 36th of January, And so \retribution follows, not swiftly but surely, after tho crime of the Moun- tain Meadow massacre, committed so, many years ago that the memory of it almost faded from men's minds until tins man Lee was brought to trial. It. was a terrible atrocity in which Lee took the leading part—-tho cold blooded rob- bery and murder of immigrants oy a band of Brigham \Young's followers dis- guised as Indians. There are indicationa that others who wore implicated in tl\(j crime will now be brought to justice* AKOl'ND THE COUNTY* Among the Brigands. M. Domenico di Bernardo, a rich pro- prietor of Sicily, was recently captured by brigands. For eleven days and nights they kept him marching through a thick forest at a rapid pace. Except that his companions never stopped be fore any obstacle, whether a preoipice or a torrent, M. di Bernardo had nothing to'oomplain of in respect of the treat- ment,which he received at their hands. The food with which they provided him was of the most exquisite kind, and such as could not be found in an ordi- nary hotel in Italy. No luxury, even to the finest ices, was wanting at then- table. The leader of the band, the ter- rible Leone, distinguished himself by his politeness. He showed himself to be a gentleman transformed into a bri- gand from a mere love of the art. An easy good humor prevailed in the socie- ty of the robbers, and when, on the pay ment of the ransom, he was released, his guardians expressed their deep regret at losing so pleasant a companion.

It was finally granted, with many expressions of kindly regard from his co-presbyters for the work he had donehere.for the church with which he has been connected and for his future, wherever he may be call- ed to labor. It is hoped that his health will yet become him and his eminent use- fulness long remain to the church. The pastoral relation will be formally dissolv- ed on the first Sabbath in December. The church at Wilna was declared ex- tinct it having made no effort for several years. What little property remains there thus falls into the hands of the trustees of the Presbytery. Topics were assign- ed to Mr. Arthur Waugh, upon which he is to pass an examination for licensure at the next regular meeting. A resolution was paused in tho afternoon of Tuesday that the St. Lawrence Presbytery should raise §200, over and above its other be- nevolent moneys, in aid of the Presbyte- rian church at DcK/>lb and in aid of ser- vices to be held at DeKalb Junction.

Deceased was born in Virginia. but removed early in life to Kentucky. He was educated for the bar, but owing to ill health never entered upon the prac- of his profession. Engaging early in politics he was an ardent supporter of Clay for president in 182'1. But becom- ing estranged from him during the ad- ministration of John Quincy Adams, lie. joined the democrats during Jackson's administration and edited the Globe, a democratic paper in Washington, from 1830 to 1833, at which time he retired to his fami at Silver a Springs. lie withdrew from the democratic party in 1843, and after the repeal of the Missouri comprom- ises he became a republican. He was present at the first national republican 'convention, held in Pittsburg Feb. 23, 1856, and took a leading part in its pro- teediiigs. Dying at the ripe old age of eighty-seven it was given to the deceas- ed statesman to be a witness of more stirrirg events in the history of his coun- try than often falls to the lot of man.
