The Charleston daily news. [volume] (Charleston, S.C.) 1865-1873, 1870-09-23
Murder VIII Out!

The aRdavits which accompany the Con-
fidential Circular prove, at least, that the
paper, as printed, was actually picked up
in Unionville on the first OF September.
On the following day one Duncan, promi-
nent Radical, dismounted near the place
where the Circular was found and began to
hunt about among the dead leaves and rub
bish, which strewed the ground. Some col
ored children, at the bidding OF Duncan,
Joined in the search, and it was noticed that
they carried to Duncan, for his examination,
every scrap of paper which they found. A
colored servant was sent to ask what they
were looking for. and was told that some
thing of value had been lost This state
ment, with more details, is contained in the
letter OF MI. Stokes, OF Unionville, enclosing
the Circular and affidavits. This is the
plain truth. II the Circular be forgery,
the gentlemen who forwarded it to Colum-
bia, the Executive Committee of the Reform
party who furnished copy to the press,
and the papers which published it, had no
hand in the work. Besides, if the Circular
be hoax, it is, at least, curious coinci-
dence that colored men should have been
shot down in both Laurens and Barnwell on
the day, or the evening before the day, on
which, according to the Circular, the killing
was to begin.
The Charleston daily news. [volume] (Charleston, S.C.) 1865-1873, 1870-09-23

. It was to be expected, OF course; that the
Charleston City Railway, like other similar
enterprises, the country over, should be con-
Quoted mainly for the benefit ofthe pockets oil
the stockholders; and when we say that
the company is in thriving condition and
promises to become more proitaN..e STILL as
the city grows and prospers, we record
fact which which will be gratifying to every
right-thinking member Of the community
But company like this, which enjoys
charter exceptionally liberal in its provi-
sions, certainly owes something to the pub
lie, if not to the reputation of those entrust-
ed with its management; and when we ind
its schedule arbitrarily readjusted in disre-
gard of the convenience OF the citizens at
large and in direct conflict with the progress
sive spirit of the times, we feel constrained,
on behalf Of the people, to utter an earnest
protest.
We have always been among those who
consider the hour no o'clock P. NJ at
which, during the summer, the trips OF the
city cars ceased, as rather too early in the
night for the discontinuance OF conVe-
nience which has grown so indispensable
to large proportion Of our people 1t was,
therefore, with the utmost surprise and re-
gret that we saw, the other day, the an
nouncement that hereafter the lastca would
leave the lower terminus at mine instead OF
ten P NJ. Surely the company has chosen o
singular lime to take this backward step !
Just on the threshold Of the busy and the
gay season, when our own people are re-
turning and visitors from the interior and
from the North begin 10 appear in our
streets, when merchants and merchants
clerks find it necessary to keep late hours
at their Offices when the weather invites
social evening visits and the note OF pre-
paration is heard for the round OF pubic
amusements which are to enliven the foil
and winter-this certainly is not the juno
ture at which the CHEEKY red and yellow
