The Independent Democrat published at Charleston,
Jefferson county, in this State spreads before its read
ers the "maorty platform recommended by seventeen
States to the adoption of the Charleston Convention aud
adds
There IS nothing in this platform that requires more
than What the South is entitled to under the Constitu-
ton, and we would be- recresnt 70 our rights-nay we
would make ourselves the objects Of the and con-
tempt Of our enemies We TO put up with anything
less than their ful, recognition.
In the event therefore, Of the aforesaid majority
platform no, being adopted at Baltimore next week,
the editor Of the Democrat cannot support the candi
dates OF the Baltimore Convention. Should he, hoSev-
e support the candidates of that body, under the cir
cumstances alluded TO- he will make himself he him
self admits "the object of the scOrn and contempt Of his
enemies" We shall watch his course after the Baltimore
nomination is over.

interesting exercises in small degree The address of

his wide reputation as orator.
The oratorcal contest for the Robertson Prize Medal

eddy. All the compositions were Of a high Order and

Thomas N Fowler of Texas, bore of the PALM and re.

Latin medal; Mr.. James f. Vawter, of Va, the Greek

The well deserved reputation of this institution OF

and particularly to those the Southwest among whom
it is located. The location, amid the mountains OF
Virginia. in heathful climate with an able Faculty at
its head, should commend it to the people of the
South and elsewhere.-Marion IiSiior

MORE OF THE MYSTERIOUS MIDNIGHT MURDER
ASSASSINATION OF PROF HENRY T. CRAWLEY
ln our issue OF yesterday We gave brief statement
of Il shocking murder which had been perpetrated on
Main street, above the canal hour or two before
paper went to press 1t appears that the murdered
man was none other than Henry T. Crawley Professor
Of Mathematics in the Young Ladies Seminary OF Mount
Auburn.
From the testimony elected before the Coroners jury
yesterday afternoon we learn that Professor Cawey,
in company with Misses Sllie Vallete and Carrie Meu
zies pupils of the Mount Auburn Female Seminary at
tended the concert at the 0pera-hOGse Wednesday
ming and at the conclusion of the entertainment visited
the Commercial office to witness the printing facilities of
that establishment This Delayed them till midnight
when the party started home all in excellent spirits pre-
errng to walk, the distance was not great and the
night more than usually pleasant.
Professor Crawey having lighted cigar and not wish
ug to offend the ladies with the smoke permitted them
to walk in advance, he keeping few PAGES in their
and in conyersng distance. As the party crossed the
Main street canal bridge they observed knot of three
or four men standing the Northeast corner Of Main
street and the canal. The Professor, who was large
powerful man. confident OF Lis ability to defend himself
and those under his protection from any danger that
would likely beal them closed the gap between himself
and the girls by few strides, and almost by their
side they passed the ruians, who made insulting
remark vulgar noise to the girls Mr. Crawey quietly
observing to them to be afraid. The trio then adj.
yauced short distance toward Hunt street. when Craw-
lev returned 10 where the men were standing. slight
scune ensued and Immediately after he ran toward the
girls who by this time had passed Hunt street. and had
no over!aken them than he fell and few minutes
later expired without having spoken.
a post mortem examination, made by Dr. Muzzlc
showed small incised wound in the right breast ante
ror the nipple about FIVE inches deep which passed
into the cavity OF the chest between the fourth and fifth
ribs and through the superior lobe Of the right lung in
to the percardium cutting the arch of the aorta The
wound evidently made with sharp-pointed iusiru-
ment and necessarily fatal. Nothing has yet been eci
ted that will give any clue to the assassin.
Professor Crawley was i man of fine attanments spen.
did physical development and commanding in personal
appearance lie a native OF Nova Scotia, about 81
years Of age, and unmarried. His untmely end is uni
versally lamented.
