Of the 18th inst, says:
Shortly after ten o'clock yesterday morning, our
community were startled by the intelligence that
horrible murder had been committed, and that
afterwards the murderer had immediately taken
his own life.
The melancholy affair took place in the kitchen
attached to the "Our House" dining saloon, and
the principal actor was Frenchman named Alfred
Meuillot who the chief cook IN that establish
ment His victim was young man named Fhllp p
in a short time since, had been employed there as
: The Coroner, Dr.. Robt. P. Myers, was summon
ed, and at about eleven o'clock, having procured
jury, proceeded to an examination, from which 1t
lppeared that Judge had been dismissed from the
establishment short time since, and that the pro-
prietor had given orders not to allow him in the
kitchen.
Fatally for him, he went there yesterday morn
ing, and, taking a cup, asked the pantryman for
coffee urn. when Meuillot told him that the proprie
tor did not allow him to come there, whereupon
he told the Frenckman to 'go to hell. The latter,
who held knife in his hand at the time, said II
Judge repeated that expression he would put the
knife into him. The boy made use Of the express
sion again, when, true to his threat, the enraged
Meuilot plunged the knife into the body OF Judge,
inflicting an instantly mortal wound. The knife
used was q long carving knife, which vas very
sharp, and entered the right side, penetrating to
Of ooh. God! am killed." Judge fell to the
ground and expired almost instantly.
When the murderer saw what he DONE cleaned
his head and appeared aota e. tthGngh praghg
his own breast, he plunged it in some six Or seven
times in the region Of the heart: Laying the knife
on the table, he fell dead upon the floor.
After the inquest, friends took charge Of the
bodies and had them inferred. That Of Judge was
taken in charge by Messrs. Philip Callahan and
James Kerrigan, in whose employ he had been,
and by whom q handsome metallic coffin WAS OBJ
tanned in which they deposited the remaino in the
receiving vault at the Cathedral Cemetery, to await
the order Of his friends in New York, where he
has an uncle living, aud, we believe, one sister.

with the requisite energy md industry future o'
contentment is sure, where the results of honest
labor are considered not derogatory to character,
and the fortune made by the hands Of toll will con-
fer credit upon it's possessor
The present is o dark hour, bat we have much
to be thankful for and, although our progress has
not been as rapid as in the oden time, yet We have
been steadily emerging from our desolate condi-
ton into the fuINess Of former days. On every
side are to be seen marks Of progress that would
shame the yeriest croaker in the land The street
railway, now an undoubted success; the new
buildings, the well filed stores, and the brisk
trade done in some localities all exhibit signs OF
progress that are most cheering.
The Spring trade promises well; our merchants
have all laid in extensive Stocks and the few buy
pleased with the prospect, and think that old
Charleston will soon regain erformer supremacy,
and he able once more to compete favorably with
Northern cities. The different sections of country
that formerly bought from Charleston are fast re-
turning to their old allegiance-one trip North has
satisfied the merchants that more money can be
spent than can be saved and by dealing with
Cha1lestonians. they not only obtain their goods
at the lowest prices but they are enabled to lessen
their expenditures.
Charleston merchants have always been re-
nowned for their liberaity, and their customers
will find it to be to their interest to return TO thelr
old haunts. It is true the credit system has 1or
tunately become played out, but they can OBTAIN
as good terms, and can buy as cheap goods IN TINS
market as in the larger cities at the North. Ihe
facilities for communication with the city are now
far superior to those of the past season. and cor
respondingly large trade is expected by those VINO
are posted. Everything denotes the fulhllment OF
this phrophecy. The hotels are gradually beng
filed, and the strange faces seen along the streets
bring "reminiscences Of the happy days when
Charleston was the great business centre Of the
cotton States. Already the wholesale stores have
commenced their night work, and the lights
cleaning brightly from the different doorWays,
prove that there is life in the old land yet, and
that trade is by no means 80 defunct as the croak-
ers plc claim. In former days merchants from this
State, North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee and the
Gulf States focked to this market, and an extern
sive business was done by our large merchants.
This trade is now being gradually revived, and every
successive season brings some Of the wanderers
back to their fod and the time is not far distant
when Charleston will resume her place as the
Queen City of the South.
