ANOTHER MURDER.

| B. F. Randolph, colore1 Senator from Orange
Third Congressional District, was killed at Hodges
Depot, in Abbeville District, on Friday last under
the following circumstances He had been to Alb
beville C. H. the day before, and left there on
| Friday afternoon for this place, where he was to
deliver speech at light. The Abbeville train and
the up train for Grcenville arrived at the same
moment at Hodges, and Randolph changed cars
Immediately on thoir arrival Taking seat in
the rstclass car, he was called out by two colored
men, who asked him. when they might expect him
to return; he stepped on the front platform OF the
passenger car to answer this question, when he
was fired upon by three or four men who were
standing upon the depot PLATFORM and within
| few feet of their victim Three or four shots took
effect, and he fell upon the ground, instantly
killed The men who committed this terrible deed
were, entirely unknown to the citizens and imme-
diately effected their escape by mounting their
horses, kitched only short distance from the
train, and riding rapidly away. Few were near
the scene, as The majority of passengers and rail-
road men had gone to the dinner house, on the op-
ispOSlte SQe OF the LraCk WHere otsItiouSo
themselves to commit this deed, and therefore
they were not seen by many persons. We were
returning from Columbia on that day, aud when
the shots we're fired, Immediately hastencd with
our fellow passengers from the dining room to in
quire the cause, ard there lay Randolph wetering
in his blood. From all we could learn, he uttered
no cry nor seemed conscious that death had over
taken him. We made inquiry of the citizens pres
ent if they knew the men, but none had been re-
cognized and in fact so sudden was their appear
auce and disappearance that they were actually
seen by only q few individuals. The train leaving
shortly after the murder was committed. we did
not ascertain the disposition made Of the body but
presume that M inquest was held without delay.
This is another act of violence greatly to be de-
plored, particularly on account of the political
capital manufactured Mt the North from every such
occurrence to the prejudice aud oppression of the
Southern people generally. The deceased un-
doubtedly exercised bad Influence upon the ne
groes, and stimulated their passions and preiudices
against their former masters. And We candidy
believe that his speeches and advice have done
more to ALLEVIATE the two races than any other in
:Auence within our borders. But, ut the same
time, the desperate remedy resortedto IS neither
corrective nor wholesome, and serves to, engender
bitter feeling throughout the nation

never better The present plan of organization for

gy had boen displayed, and will reap their reward
at the ballot box. Those sections not represented
at this meeting urged to press forward the
plan adopted, aud work with unceasng effort until
the polls ore closed on the 3rd day of November.
Besides the reception of these interesting re-
ports, little business was transacted. The Presi-
dent made an informal report from. the State Cen
