o'clock. to commit suicide, at No. l16
Dauphine street, by taking laudanum; but
failed. having received immediate attention
from medical practitioner near by. Even
after the first he made another attempt to
Quit the world by this road, but failed, as

The object of the unfortunate man in
suicide was to get rid of his wife, whom he
married some time ago when Ia federal sol

that she is woman of the town, and has
been for years, and that her indisposltlon

CREDENTIALS OF DELEGATES

TO THE REPUBLICAN PARTY CONVENTION.
We are satisfied that the convention which will
assemble August will not approve the action OF
the State Central Committee in assuming to receive
the credentials of the delegates. 1t is principle
grounded in the common law of republican institu
TONS that all deiberative bodies shall judge of
the qualifications of their members. Therefore we
can not understand by what authority the com.
mittee has ordered the credentials to be sent
to them. s|1
The State Committee has no power TO say who
are the properly accredited members of the con-
vention, which will become, Immediately upon its
assembling, the official head of the party.
We recognize the state Committee. We recon-
mend that all of its orders be obeyed, but we
parishes to transmit of credentials to the con-
yention itself, by the hands OF the delegates. And
when the delegates assemble, let them proceed to
organize, and determine who the properly
qualified members of the convention. E,,I.

THE LATE EXPLOSION Creagh
yesterday held an inquest on the bodies Of
Alexander j. Phillips and Jean Faussat,
who died from burns and scalds of hot oil
thrown from the watts by the steam fiue ex.
piosion in Maginnis' new cotton seed oil
factory, corner of Commerce and Julia
streets. BY the report of the Coroner, A..
A. Maginnis proprietor, is guilty of gross
neglect in not providing himself with
proper and safe boilers. tia .rt -
The following evidence, upon which the
verdict was based, was ELECTED:
James Hagan testified that there was no
extra steam ON the engine as she was carry
ing but one hundred and ten,pounds at the
time. He saw the steam when the expio-
sion burst, and started to pump up the
water. He had noticed no flaw in any of
the boilers. which had showed no indication
of leak. Had been working in the factory
about six weeks. -.If
A. j. Phillips, Jr, testified that he had
seen one of the boilers split, and saw it
patched The engine.was competent one.
The same boilers now in use were at the old
factory burned down. on Magazine street,
and had to be repaired before they were
put UP anew. .s...t
Messrs. j. A. Moffitt, Thomas H. Nugent,
Oliver Rout and w. H. Smith, machinists
and engineers, gave certificate that the
cause of the explosion was from flaw in
the fiCe, which could not be seen; further
there was plenty of water in the boiler at
the time of the explosion, and no blame can
be attached to the engineer.
From all accounts, the inundation from
the river did no harm to the plantations.
