ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE NEws.l
Congress.

COLUMBIA. 8. c., July rs.
The Radical State Convention assemblies in
the Senate Chamber in the capitol at noon to-
morrow. At this moment R. B. Elliott tcol-
ored,) the Assistant AdlutantGeneral, and o
member of the lower House, is the most proml-
nent candidate for president Of the conven-
ton. Ex-Congressman Whittemore, the seller
of cadetships, is next in favor.
The city Is alive with delegates, and the can
yass between the rival delegations from
Charleston is very active. Congressman
Bowen has his headquarters at the Colum bia
Hotel. DeLarge, the leader Of the left wing
has his headquarters at his rooms in Main
street. The friends Of DeLarge are jubilant,
claiming that large majority of the delegates
are In favor OF admitting the DeLarge
delegation, and will reject all COM
promises proposed by the Bowenites. These
last, it is said, proposed that both delegations
should be admitted, and that each delegation
should cast nine votes-one-haf the vote of
Charleston County Another proposition was
that all the DeLarge delegation be. admitted
excepting T. ]. Mackey, in whose place one Of
the Bowen delegates should be taken. Fail
ing in this, the Bowen delegates offered to
withdraw from the convention, provided that
DeLsrge's friends agreed to hold another
county convention for the nomination of a
candidate for Congress from Bowen's district.
This was also declined.
It isl BELIEVED that r. X. Scott will be unani-
mousy nominated for reelection as Governor,
and that A. j. RansIer, colored, will be noml-
mated for Leutenant-G Governor.
A caucus of the delegates to the State Con-
vention will be held this evening.

addressed the presiding magistrate and ex-
planned that since 1867 the law had dispensed
with an examining court; that Its duties had
been devolVed upon the examining magistrate;
that 1t was In his power to send the prisoner
on with or without ball, or to discharge him
at once. He recommended the latter course;
There was no jury which c. ild be empanelled
on Gods earth, white or black, savage or CIV
iized, which would find the accused guilty of
murder. The feelings of father rise In every
mans bosom against the commission OF such
foul crimes and proclaim that "the way OF tne
transgressor is hard indeed" He did not
think this was case In which either the pub
lie morals or public safety required the accused
to be sent on. He should be discharged. Then
when they do these deeds they do them not
only at the risk Of an ayenglng father, but Of
an avenging public also.
Captain Clopton, counsel for the prisoner,
said that he did not think It necessary, after
what had been 80 well and properly Bald BY
the attorney for the Commonwealth, to make
any remarks.
The magistrate then said, "Captain Ha, ward,
.'Under these circumstances cannot ex-
press my feelings think 1t my duty to an
nounce your discharge"
There was every evidence of approval at the
termination of the case on the part OF the
SpeCCaCOTS, put uO uolsy ucLnousttouoA Woo

The killing Of B. F. Lindsey at Chester, Viz

tain w. II. Hayward, for the seduction ofa
daughter, and the dismissal of Hayward from
custody after examination before magistrate,
have been announced by telegraph. Both
Hayward and Lindsey are well known in Rich
mond and Petersburg and vicinity. sThe fol-
lowing facts were elected before the coroners
jury:
BENJAMIN F. Lindsey, the deceased, arrived
at Chester, on Wednesday afternoon, on the
800 P. NJ. train from Richmond. He went TO
the store and took drink. Captain Hayward
met him there, and told him that gentleman
in the hotel wished TO see him. He LOOK MN

and the victim Of your villany." With this ne
turned the bed-clothing down and showed him
o newborn infant. Turning to his daughter,
who vas living in the bed, he asked her II this
was not Lindsey's child. She replied that l5
was. He then remarked: You have heara
what my daughter says, MIR: LINDSEY. WEI
have you to say?' He replied, ~ am eah1r .hat
so much by surprise that do not know oos,aa Thas

~ sbn seys sou Upon this Captain Hayward
drew @ small Smith i Wesson four shooter
and commenced firing. Lindsey, who was
sitting upon the bed at this time, arose, put
made no resistance. Captain Hayward DIS
CHARGED the four barrels, two OF the shots
taking effect, one in The fleshy part of the leg,
and the other in the abdomen. The wounded
man fell, and was taken to his room, where he
fingered through the night, and died at half
past 9 o'clock the next morning.
The prompt discharge Of the slayer in this
instance, on the ground Of justifable homicide,
indicates perhaps more striklngly than any
similar case, the spirit Of public sentiment in
regard to the crime Of which Lindsey was
guilty. The following were the remarks made
by the Commonwealth's attorney at the exam
ination OF Captain Hayward, and the proceed
ings consequent thereupon:

then, as have thought since, that the rebellion

effect of 1t would be to injure and curtail slave
