From the Sweet Suuny South.

A Letter From K. S. Dwiggins. Friend Marshall:— l send you two papers, containing the confessions of some of the parties charged with the murder of Mr. Abbe, in this county. Lt Was not a political murder iu any sense whatever. k The people here arose enmasse, and after the most desperate chase, lasting more than two weeks, they succeeded in apprehending the murderers. The citzons could not do more than they have, and are doing, to bring the guilty parties to justice; and they will succeed in breaking up one of the worst organizations that ever existed in this state. lam well pleased with this country, and with the people. 1 never met kinder, better disposed people. Last week was the coldest week we have had, the mercury was 49 degrees above zero at G a. m., Tuesday, which was the coldest morning. There are no saloons in this county. Under the “Lccal Option’' law, in force in tuis state, the people vote *‘ao I’cense'l have not seen a drunken man since I have been in the state. r.'ly t this county is Democratic; but political matters arc discussed very iiltle; people do not seem to be interested iu political matters.

R. S DWIGGINS.
