Yankees in a Charleston Court,

One of our subscribers, who hap
pened to be over in Charleston the
other day, tells the following:
A fellow representing a Boston
bucket factory came ashore from a
steamer, carrying about dozen
diminntive specimens of his merchaD-
ulse, ana taking up the first street he
came 20, offered them right and left.
lie had not progressed far before a
negro policeman arrested and carried
him before coal-blaciS justice, charged
with peddling without license, The
sable magistrate not only fined him
the cool sum Of Sl00, but roundly
lectured the man for his conduct. He
paid the fine and left the court and
city in thorough disgust.
On the same day another drummer
from New York was arraigned before
his sable honor for the same offence.
The drummer insisted that he had
sold nothing, only being offering, but
had made no sale. Whereupon the
black dignitary told him TO prove
that, but while hunting up his proof
he must leave $50 by way of bail
The drummer handed over the money
went out and brought in three or -four
merchants, who stated that he had
sold nothing to them. After the wit
nesses got through, the following
decision was delivered:
"Dis Court hab heard de prefxe'
and de conclusion in dis case, and
decides dat de Yankee hab left the
case in donbt; and it bein' de law to
glib dc State de benefit of de doubt
dis court will keep de fifty dollars"
These are facts.-Mdcoa Telegraph

REVOLVING SCENE AT AN. ExEcU-
TIoY.--Louis Hines, a negro, was
hanged at Tarboro, N. c., on Friday
last. The hour having arrived, the
Sheriff asked the condemned man il
be had any confession to make, TO
which he replied that he had not.
The cap was then placed over his
head, forever darkening bis vision to
all earthly things, the moose was
adjusted by the sherifi's deputy, and
at II NJ. tho drop fell. A scene OF
fearful excitement here ensued. The
knot on the rope was not properly
placed, and when the body fell il slip
ped round under the chin. The legs
had not been pinioned either, and the
suspended wretch struggled in a ter
rible manner. He had fallen about
three feet and u half, and the neck
was not broken. With a convulsive
effort he succeeded in getting his hand
up to the rope, at his throat, and hold
ing this ho got his feet again on The
platform. All this time there was the
greatest excitement and commotior
in the small crowd within the onclo
sure, while those without were igno
rant of the exciting scene. A gurglinl
noise IN the throat as Of difficult
respiration, could be disbeard by th,
entire crowd in the yard. The Sher
iff ran and pushed the feet of th,
scaffold, and the condemned was agar
swinging in mid air, but struggling
violently. In seventeen minutes
however, he was pronounced dead by
Drs. j. II. Baker and Stanton, an,
The body was cut down and placed il
coffin. Thus ended the execution o
Hines, a bungled and horrible affair
but Tarboro had its annual hanging.
