-JAR*A PARALLEL CASE." In last letter addressed to the his Governors of Georgia and South Carolina, concerning the "mob" entering Augusta from this State, Judge Henry Hammod states that there never wa's ? a "parallel case." We -wonder it tlie indignant: Georgia (?) Judge ever heard of Henry Rufin the negro whom the Georgia mob sought for the killing of two constables in Georgia? Well, the people of Aiken heard of him, and, to let a little secret go adrift, he was their guest and the County of Aiken housed and fed him in the. Aiken jail safe from the howling mob of Georgia for over two weeks! There are, now, the Gospel truth. Ruffin was brought over to Aiken by the officials: of Augusta away from the seething, mad mob of Georgia and protected in: South Carolina from the mob and its rule. And many of. the mob came over to Aiken, too; in search of Ruffin; but instead of "running' the prisoner Sheriff: Howard placed him in jail under, the name of "Williams" and told "nobody nothing" about it. Tho van guard of the Georgia tub numbered •30 and scattered all through the streets of Aiken, senda halt dozen to Jailor John Vernon, who denied the negro's preseuce in the Aiken jail. There's your parallel| case for you, Judge.
