SOLICITOR BUTTZ?ATTEMPT TO
TAKE HIS LIFE?
A considerable stir was created in the
neighborhood of the Charleston Court
house about half-past one o'clock on
M'Cndny afternoon ln^t by an affray, in
whjch -Solicitor .C W Buttz was shot iu
two places by. Detective Win ilord,
eolored. Hord, it seems, had threaten
ed Capt. Hcndricks iu King Street on
the previous Saturday night, and the
latter on Monday morutng obtained a
warrant for Hord's arrest from Justieo
Levy, who allowed the accused a few
hours in which to obtain ?1,000 bail.
During this interval Ilord, who wasi
somewhat under the influence oF liquo r.
approachcdPButtz, according to accounts
importuning htm to become his scour ity
Whatever passed between them. Solie.
tor Buttz gave him no encouragement,
and walked off into the court in tho
rcur of the Courthouse. He bad not
bet ii there many minutes when Ilord
again camo up, and drawing out bis
] istol fned squarely at Solicitor Buttz
tho ball passing through the left lappel
of tho coat, through tho ccat, wnistooat
and underclothing, and inflicting a
alight wound on the left breast, just
bilow the ? collar bone Buttz then
turned, ana Third fired again, the ba51
this time taking effect iu the Solicitor's
left bin, mid taming a slight flesh
wound. Hord firetf-^lff^ovhor idioTs1,
hoth of which missed (heir aim, and
before be Could lire the fifth he was
hurled to the ground by bystanders and
secured. The pistol was. a Colt's army
II ve-shooicr. Hord \\a> immediately
arrested uud .sent to jail. We trust
that the man who thus attempted to
deprive this Circuit of so faithful a t 1
efficient au officer, will receive tha
severest punishment of tho Uw.
ORANGERURG SINCE THE FIRE?
On the 5thof la<t month tha wliol
business portion of our Town was re
ducVd't'o ashesi There w? s nothing left
of the tiiany beautiful etores that lined
Bussel street, belbr? that latal morning,
except solitary chimneys hero and there,
which stood up as mute reminders of the
terrible conihi^atiou which had so com
pletely^ razed to,thc ground the beauty
ofOratigeburg. The savings of many
yearo* of?%nVd* work took wings, as it
were, with the lurid Hanns, aud bile
adieu to the placo that would know
them no more forever, in this manner
fund hopes were bligh'ed, strong eaer
gics paralyzed, and some of our best
citizens reduced to circumstances which
they bad never (bought were III
store fore them. Hut this sad eha pter
iu t?4frfilcsf u been written by the all
consuming breath of lire upon the tubllts
of sorrowing memories, and long will
it be before many of our people will leel
other than sorrowful on the anniversaries
to come of the 5tii day of January, 1870
A new Spring, it is true, is upou us, but
the verdancy, the flowers and the por
fumes which it will usher into new life,
will not obliterate the reiucmboranco of
the fire nor restore to Orangeburg her
original beauty.
But as man proposes, an I Cod di s
poses, aud as our old office was disposed
of in a very summary^way, we propose
to dispose of the dark side of 1 his pie
