ANOTHER HOMICIDE IN BLADEN.
Ga Saturday night the 9TH inst, James
Mote, aged about eighty. went to the
house of William Rich, and the company,
consisting Of Rich, his vile, Mote and
lad Of sixteen named Allen Cain the son
Of Mrs Rich, all got drunk. Mote COM
meneed abusing young Cain and soon
struck him. and repeated the blaa several
times until he knocke him dowH saoo1t
the door. Cain arose and ran, Mote
after him, and as Mote got nearly up to
him, Cain struck him with piece Of
ground. Cain kept on running until he
found he was no farther persned. The
old man got fall while in the race after
Cain. and it is not certain from which
blow he died; at any rate he died on Tues
day following. Cain was arrested and
tried before Justices Atkinson and Lucas;
and not being able to g i've bail was COM
mittetl. This makes four cases that are
alleged to have been committed in this
county within three months.
The first was the case of Joshua Bryan,
who was shot by Thomas McLelland,
McLelland was admitted to bail by Justi
ces Gillespie and Jessup.-1he second
was one Of Hugh Simpsons negroes who
was killed with clubs BY wo other negroes
Of Simpsons. They were admitted to
bail by Judge Bailey. The third was a
negro boy hired by Rev. Colin Shaw as
Guardian Of Miss Ellen J. Andres. to
George Russ, who by whipping and i'll
treatment caused the death Of the boy.
according to the return Of the Jury Of
Inquest. Russ was admitted to bail bv
Justice Dixon. The fourth is the case of
Cain.
Four other cases have been reported to
have occurred within the same time in
BIaden, tn wit: that Gen. J ]. Mckay
had shot a negro who had forced his way
into his dwelling house. That Col. W..
J. Mckay had caught one of his own, and
one Of J. Il Kemp. Esqr's.. negroes with
hog, and that he killed them both al one
fire. And that Capt. John w. Smith bad
killed David J. Smith with an iron wedge.
All these last mentioned cases have never
occurred. and would Tot have been aliud-
ell to but that the rumors in MANY places
are still rife. The negroes that the first
gentlemen were said to have killed are as
wide awake with their plated horns a.
any cuffies. And as for David J Smith
he is in good health and has no idea ol
being killed by an iron wedge. And our
Capt. John w. Smith, altho' brave sol
der in Mexico, is still living on Coll
with his young wife, and beiCg clevel
fellow is entirely incapable Of such deed

ENGLAND AND THE DEsPoTIc POWERS o.
EuRoPx.-A large and influential meet
ing Of the Inhabitants Of the Tower Ham
let's, England. was recently held to give
an expression to public feeling in regard
to the French coup d'efnt and the threaten
ing aspect assumed by the despotic pow
ers of Europe asains: the independence Of
England. After several strong speeches,
the following resolution was adopted:
'''rhat an iniquitous system Of lawIess
military despotism now reigns supreme in
Europe; that its last triumph. in the per-
son Of the unscrupulous and perjured
would be Emperor Of France. brings the
question Of European liberty home to the
immediate interests Of all Englishmen ;
and that England is now bound, more
than ever, both for the sake Of suffering
humanity and her own welfare. to main
tain firm attitude towards all despotic
powers, and to assert the right of every
ma ton to the liberties which have been
6lched from them by fraud. by brute force.

From the Washington Union.
THE WHlG GAME.

The northern wings, having fixed upon
their candidate. are now giving their
southern allies to understand that they
expect him to keep quiet upon the cou,-
promise measures aud the issues involved
in them. The Kennebec (Me.) Journal
sums the matter up in plain terms. as fol-
lows:
We ask no more Of them (southern whigs) in
this case than we conceded to them in the elec-
tion of 1913. We then accepted Gen. Taylor AZ
the whg candidate. without requiring any pledge
upon the subject Of the Wilmot proviso. and we
now ask them to accept Gen. Scott without re-
qeirinx any pledge touching the compromise
nessuf<s -.-----a@ \ -s-asssss 4 -ssss
The four principal northern States. in
which whig State conventions have nOminat-
ed General Scott, are. as we recoIIect,
Ohio. Pennsylvania. Indiana, and Maine.
In Ohio, the same convention which
nominated him declared that the Compro-
mise vas an open qucstiOn-that it was
not whig measure. and that the whig
party was in no way committed to its
maintenance. In Pennsy ylvaria, the con-
vention which nominated General Scott
did SO under the lead Of Gov. Johnston,
who, being nominated for governor by
the same body, declared that ''the fugitive
law was as open to repeal or modification
as the tariff of 1885, In Indiana. the
State Journal-thc central organ of the
whig party proclaimed. in the most ex-
plicit terms. that General Scott must he
taken without pledges by the South AS
General Taylor was taken in the same
way by the wings of the North; and now
the leading whig organs Of Maine. the last
State which las followed suit in the
nomination. are all singing the same tuue.
Such is plainly at the North the popular
understanding Of the terms upon which
General Scott is to be taken as the whix
candidate. When the expected letter
about the Compromise appears. we shall
learn how the politicians have determined
to phrase the matter-we shall see how
General Scott will dispose of difficulty
which has SO sadly damaged Mr. Fillmore
and Mr. Webster at the North. SuppOs-
ing, as we must. that Gen. Scott will, at
all events. avoid the position and conse-
quent predicament Of these gentlemen, it
remains to be seen what middle ground
there is in regard to the COmpromi Sc
which will suit at once the Seward wings
and the wings OF the South. One thing is
certain-tbe whiS conventions OF the North
have got the start in this matter. Their
''no pledges" platform is first on the track.
and is backed up by the force Of the Tay-
ior precedent. For them to take new
ground now will give their whole party
| organization a fearful wrench. 1t looks
as if the southern wings must succumb.
and take the northern candidate on the
terms offered, or else be voted down by
northern sectional force in their National
Convention-that is. If they venture t."
hold National Convention. In this state
Of facts, it is not surprising that the wings
Of Tennessee have nominated President
Fillmore.
