the cost of reputation and honor
Reputation, were it practical, we
would regard as the worst evil which
could possibly befall community. If we
have any chance of recuperation and re-
newed prosperity, this doctrine, successfully
carried out, would destroy it. Without mu-
tual confidence, trade would languish, moth
ing would prosper, and untold misery would
result, and after reputation was lost in the
dishonorable attempt to save property, the
disreputable savings would be freely given
up to wipe out the damnable stain.
In speaking of the reputation, the Pc

Murder will Out-A Scene nt the Close of
the War.

the War
The Savannah Republican gives the de-
velopments of crime which is amongst
one of the most atrocious that occurred i'm
mediately at the close of the war. The
narration commences previous to the pas
sage of Sherman's army through South
Carolina
Upon the approach Of the Federal army,
Mr.. Jefferson Afford, with his family, in
Guiding one son, John Afford, sixteen years
cid, left his plantation in Beaufort District,
near Grahamville, and sought refuge in
Barnwell District, near Bufords bridge
Of course the place thus left in the exclu-
sive possession of negroes, was completely
destroyed, and Mr.. Afford, in his new loca,
ton, shared the fate of all those who hap
pened to live upon the line of Sherman's
march.
After the capitulation of the Confederate
armies, about the month of May, 1865, he
sent his young son to his plantation, with
the assistance Of "a faithful servant, to try
and make corn crop, With perseverance,,
the youth planted = crop and was doing
we'll. One night during the month of June,
1868, while he was asleep, party ofnegroes
approached the premises, seized and bound
! him and the servant, and carried them Off
The murderers permitted the negro to es-
cape, but hurried the boy away; and al
though the certainty of his death is known
to his parents, they have never been able
to discover where, how, or by whom the
bloody deed was committed.
Two days ago, however, an arrest was
made by the authorities which unravelled
the mystery connected with the fate of the
boy, which was briefly this
After being taken from his fathers place
he was carried across the Savannah river,
where the fiends, gloating over the If victim,
proceeded to their bloody work OF murder
He was marched back and forth before the
squad, some twenty-five in number, armed
to the teeth, and Notwithstanding his APP
peals for mercy, the whole party in detail
commenced firing at him, and he ran to-
wards the river crying, "Father, mother,
save me save me! but the inhuman
wretches soon overlook him and finished
the deed so hellishly begun. His body was
left unburied, and his bones now lie where
the last act in this bloody drama was COM
mitted.
The result of the investigation is such as
will secure some of the principals in this
horrid murder-the chief actor now safely
lodged in jail

Messrs. Gibbes & Co., of Charleston, S..

crisis If we are led astray by side issues
and attempt to rid ourselves of real
troubles that weigh heavily upon us by en-
bracing such chimerical remedies as is pre-
sented by the advocates of reputation, We
may add to our other misfortunes the loss
