friends will regret to hear of the death Of
Mr.. George Grow, of the firm of Worsham

dence in this city. He was possessed of
many excellent qualities, and generally es-
teemed by the community. The old Con-
federates will remember him as being the
sergeant in charge of the Soldiers Home, y
where they We're generally detained for
transportation to their respective corps

Poor Humanity.--Yes Yesterday, another Of
the ''unfortunates, residing in Locust al
ley, applied at the drug store of DR.. Camm
which was refused. She then asked for
chloroform. This was also refused her,
and while begging the doctor to furnish her
with poison, a friend, who missed her from
her home, came in, and informed DR.. Camm
that the girl intended killing herself. By
the refusal of the druggist, it is probable q
human life was saved, and our community
from witnessing another suicide.
DR.. Camm deserves the thanks of the
people for acting with that caution which
should govern all druggists in dispensing
poison.

"a fellow-feeling, &c., has induced the
news editor of the Standard and Sentinel
(the boss being absent) to accept our good
opinion of his paper, with the statement
that he is pleased to have the good opinion
Of even the wicked" In our good opinion
expressed, we did not include the entire
force Of the Sentinel, as it is impossible for
US to haze good opinion of the wicked.
Had we SO intended, our statement would
have been considered acild one.

The Effects. Of Steam.-Quite an excite
ment was created near the corner of Third
and Broad streets last night about s O'Clock,
caused by q colored female suffrageist
threatening to put head ON her leige lord
through the instrumentality of brick !;
while he in turn kept just out of range,
and done any amount of cnssiag. No ar
rests were made, and the crowd only dis
persed after the parties more directly in
terested had become exhausted, and hied to
a neighboring groggery for more steam.

We have lately heard of one of ouI
somewhat prominent Democrats, whose
pugilistic spirit has recently exhibited itself,
indulging himself in this very agreeable
pastime, much to the annoyance of some Of
the neighbors and the modification of his
wife. She still bears marks of his cruelty,
making less impression upon her body than
have the heart sorrows she now feels.

Dest,uctice Fne-B Bog Factory Consumed.
The boX-factory of Howard, Estes & Wells,
situated at the extreme northern end Of
Twentieth street, was set on fire this morn
ing between the hours of A aid 5 O'Clock
and its entire contents consumed, consisting
of improved valuable machinery, large
quantity of lumber and number of boxes
already. completed. There was an insur-
ance Of so 300 on the machinery and coz.
tents, considered a much less sum than will
cover cost. The building, very large one,
extended almost the entire length of the
square, was saved by the exertions of the
firemen with the loss of windows, doors,
floors and nearly the entire roof, leaving
the bare walls standing, grim sentinels Of
the work of destruction. fMtflsa8j
About two years ago. the same firm, then
situated on Cary street, had their shops de.
stroyed by an incendiary, which consumed
together with them, nearly the entire
square, entailing upon them heavy loss.
The well known energy and industry of the
firm will not permit them to remain idle,
They will soon be at work again, if we dc
not mistake their enterprise.

NO MARTIAL LAW.

Nearly all the newspapers have assert
ed thss the Presidents recent proclama-
tion was a declaration of martial law In
South Carolina. The President has not
declared martial law, and has no power
to do so under the act of Congress. COM
monty known as the Ku Klux Law
Martial law is the arbitrary abrogation of
all law except tue will of the military
commander. and if courts and civil officers
continue to perform their functions, it is
only by his permission. What the Pres
i6ent has done is to suspend the privil-
eyes of the Writ of Habcas Corpus in the
nine counties in South Carolina specified
in his proclamation, and this is all his au-
thority. The difference between this and
a declaration of martial law is very otvi-
Gus. The civil law is still in force in
those counties, and the authority Of the
State courts is not lesscned, except in one
uarticular-their process will not release
a man arrested by United States Officers
for an offensc against the United States
Statute: 1t should be borne In mind
further. that to prevent the possibility Of

The Sparta

One of the most terrible occurrences it
has ever been our duty to record transpir-
ed near the court house in this city last
Monday afternoon, it being ne less than
than the murder of Mr.. JEFF. Leftwick by
Richard Willhite.
Mr.. Leftwick and Willhite met during
the day, seemingly on good terms. In
the afternoon difficulty occurred be-
tween them, when the latter drew a knife
upon Mr.. L., who thereupon presented a
pistol and asked, "What do you want to
kill me for?' They were separated, but
in a short time met again and q quarrel
ensue6, without resulting, however, in
ANYTHING serious and the ~bystanders,
deeming all danger of a collision passed,
started to walk off. Wilhite had pro-
proceeded about fifteen yards when he
turned and ran up to Mr.. L., and before
he had time to defend himself inflicted
four wounds, one in the heart, one just
above the left hip, entering the cavity,
one on the breast bone and one through
the left wrist. Mr.. Leftwick fell and was
Immediately surrounded by his friends,
among whom were two of our physicians
We reached the spot about two minutes
after the infection of the wounds, and
found the victim lying on his back, appar-
emily ~lifeless, the blood gushing from the
wounds. In less than n moment thereaf-
ter his breast gave one convulsive heave,
and the physicians pronounced him dead.
Willhite was arrested, placed In a
room in the court house and a guard sta
toned over him to prevent his escape
He was afterwards committed to Jail
The next morning the grand jury found a
true bill against him for murder.
Both men were residents of this county,
and during the warfought under the same
command in the Confederate army.
The victim leaves a wife and two chill
dren to mourn his untimely end. He was
buried yesterday with Masonic honors.-
