The RECENT MURDER IN NEW YoRK-The
Coroner of New York city held an inquest on
Tuesday afternoon on the body of the murdered
grocer, Townsend. The room was crowded
with spectators, as were also the various pas.
sages leading thereto. The wife and children
of the murdered man testified to the circum-
stances of the case, and at times were over
come with emotion that the inquest could not
proceed. The facts testified to were simply a
confederation of these heretofore reported.
When the prisoner was brought forward to be
examined he stolidly refused to answer any
questions put to him by the Coroner relative to
his name, age or nativity. Coroner Flynn be-
came indignant at his conduct, and remarked
that his silence would not save his life.
How many years will it be? inquired the
prisoner.
"There will be no years about il, ;" replied the
deputy coroner, DR.. Shine.
"NO," replied the coroner, 81 wouldn't give
yeu more than six weeks to live"
Reynolds, or Bream, If such is his NAME was
taken back to his cell, after first denying that
his name was Reynolds, and refusing to give HIS
right name. He was subsequently visited in his
cell by the coroner and his deputy, when he was
induced to confess that he committed the mur-
der. He had entered the grocery for the purpose
Of stealing, and after 9uarreling with the de-
ceased stabbed him. I" hope will get fair
show" said the prisoner.

what's to be Done with the NickeIs.

From the St. Louis DemOcrat.l
A great many postmasters have writ
ten here in relation to the disposition
that can be made of copper and nickel
coins received for postage, but which
people do not like to take for change.
Inquiry on this point was made to the
Secretary of the Treasury by the Post
master General. The Secretary also
received letters on the subject from own
ers Of ferryboats and others who come
into possession of these coins in the reg
ular way of business, A reply from his
department says that the nickel cent
coins, issued under the act of February
q, 1867, are not legal tender for any
amount, but are exchangeable at the
mint of the United States for three and
five cent nickel pieces. The one and
two cent pieces, authorized by the act
of April %, 1864, which comprise the
chief portion of the cent coinage in cir
culation, are q legal tender for any pay
ment not exceeding forty cents in
amonnt The three cent nickel pieces
are a legal tender for sixty cents, and
the five cent pieces for one dollar There
is no provision of law authorizing the
redemption Of the one and two cent
pieces but circular Issued by the
Secretary directs the redemption of
the FIVE cent pieces by the Trea-
surer and Assistant Treasurers when
presented in sums of not less than 800.
II is evident that Congress must soon
take some action on this matter, and
Mr.. RnoKs hili isE tbl rsyision Of tho
mint laws, now pending ~ tho senate,
makes proper provisions for the redemp-
ton os all the coins.

SOUTH CAROLINA ELECTION-Some of the
Radical papers are making great ado over
the result of the election in South Carolina
1t is claimed that the Republicans have carried
the State by 10000 majority, and have elected
three out of four Congressman. We hazard
the assertion that If the negro and carpct-bag.
ger vote was deducted from the total vote, the
Radical party would not have much over one
thousand votes in the State, if that much The
lowest and most degraded scum of white hu.
mainly In South Carolina, together with the
negro vote-their natural ally-will, of course,
control the State, as the negroes greatly ex-
coed the whites in number In 1860 the total
white population Of South Carolina was 291, =.
ooo, while the negro population numbered
4l2,32O--the colored element being over four
sevenths of the total population of the State.
In 1868 Scott (Radical). for Governor, had a
majority of 46,656 over Porter conservative
or Democracy, so that, admitting the State has
gone $4,000 for the Radicals, and then their
majority has been reduced over 26 900 in two
years. Where there are two or three negroes
to one white man, and the same ratio of car.
pet-baggers and "scalawags" to one gentleman,
we shall always expect the Radicals to have
telling majority. '"
