rage, I have felt it my duty as a
representative to express in positive, forcible terms my utter
abhorrence and condemnation of this brutal outrage. The Governor
has faithfully performed his duty in furthering the arrest of the
guilty parties, and I hope the Court of justice will administer a
lesson that will not soon be forgotten by that community. The
laws are adequate; we simply require efficient and faithful
officers to execute them; and as a legislative body we have done
our duty in condemning this outrage, the punishment of which we
leave to another tribunal--the Nemesis of justice.

THE HIPPODROME

SECOND DAYS EXHIBITION!

_They go for a Reporter And Catch a Tartar!_

_Large Attendance but Poor Performance._

The exhibition at this place of amusement yesterday was of only
an indifferent character. Unless the managers improve the show in
some way, it will hardly draw for many more performances. True,
the tricks of the acrobats are worthy of mention; the riding
passable, and the performance of the numerous ring-masters
tolerably creditable; but the "dagger pitchers" and
"revolver-swallowers," and inferior parts assigned to the clowns
in the ring, were altogether too limited to please the
amusement-loving public. There must be more robber declarations
and full-blooded excited performances anxious for bloody fames,
or the thing will be a failure. This pretense of fight won't do;
there must be a regular shooting and dying for principle, or we
shall pronounce your cheap show a humbug; and some of you at
least know that no third rate "Punch and Judy" exhibition will be
tolerated by the party in power in South Carolina. With this
warning and introduction, we proceed to give an account of the
performance.

The mob was called to order precisely at 1 o'clock, temporary
President Swails in the chair. The proceedings of the previous
day were read from _The Union-Herald_ in his hand, and called the
attention of the assemblage to an article in that paper touching
upon the subject of the raising of a chair by some member for the
purpose of annihilating the present Governor of South Carolina.
Smalls succeeded in raising a turbulent discussion about nothing,
and a general discussion of the subject by the windy members of
the conv
