Phe Salem Trials We have received further ac-
counts from Salem relation to the trial On Fri
DAY last, the jury came into Court, and stating
through their foreman that they could never agree,
requested final discharge. The Court sssented and
the papers which were before them were Sithdrawn,
and preparations made for new trial. 1t appears
that two including the foreman Of the jury, dissent
ed from the opinion Of the other ten. The circum.
stance in which this result had its origin, arose from
tn insu6ciency of the testimony in proving the iden
ty ut Frank Knapp with the person at the of
the square when the murder was committed-or if it
was Knapp, whether he there only of curios-
ty to know the result, but not from disposition to
aid or obet in the decd
The result of thus trial has produced great excite.
ment in Salem. Ne one who has not been present
during these trials and observed the tone and cur
rent OF conversation in that town, can imagine the
feelings with which the people of Salem have viewed
every event connected with the singuary atrocous
murder OF Captain White. Before any discovery
was made tenthng to fix the murder upon its perpe-
traitors. such wus the exctablhty OF the public mind
in Salem, that many individuals of standing in society
talked OF einlgratng from the place altogethcr-of
removing from community containing characters SO
dangerous and fearful as the murderers of Captain
White. The house in which the murder. com
United is situated IN the heart of Salem-the most
popuious neighbourhood-n the immediate vicinity Of
the court house. public square, and insurance Offices.
II is large brick house Of ample and spacious d.
mansions, with double rooms, and three stories in
height II is now deserted and untenanied and
would not sell for one third Of its real value From
other and accurate sources we have also learned that
the general effect of this murder, and of the excite
msnt and terror produced, has created depression in
real estate
The result of the trial in the case of Frank will no
doubt increase the predominant feelings There are
however, several other indictments on which he will
be tried, but The of the jury is cacula-
ted to produce perfect explosion.
THE TARIFF.-Tho following article is from
late Charleston Courier. Such reasoning from
plain matters of fact must be very annoying the
political economists Of the school to which Mr.
M'Dufiie has OF late attached himself In such
| cases, defamation gees for no. hing Bait Pat
a ND UFFIE PUZZLE.
"The grower paws the duties on the imported
rtice."-MDUFFIE
A man in our district raised ten bales Of Cot.
ton, which he sold :" store keeper here for $40
bal. making $500. They tel me thar these
thirty bales when they nave been manufactured by
British Mechanics will make goods worth three times
as much as my neighbour got for his Cation; thai
is 5000, If the cloth is the commonest. Yhe du
ties Mr. MDUFEIE says, equa to As per cent
on such goods that the duties on the goods mad.
GU Of my neighbours ten bales of Cotton are, 1875
and these are paid by the Planter. Now. know
for fact that nov neighbour paid his STORE account
SIS, his taxes, SIS: and bought a wench and ,wt
children for $500; and paid $50 cash. and slwsy.
kept some small change about him, and calculates
TO pay as much more next year on his negroes. Now
| where did he get the money to pay out Of 5000
the price of his Cotton, his 1915 duties. and hav We
