From the date of his release in 1859, to that
of his arrest in BinghanoE in 1870 for the
murder of Frederick A. Mirrlck, he alternate
in the role of a professor OF languages, a lawyer.

district of PENNSYLVANIA, where his brother

Rjnghamton was entered, and quantity of
silks stolen from the shelves and bundled up
as for removal, by a party of men wearing
masks. Two of the party, there being three
in all, busted themselves in securing the goods
while the third stood guard at the bedside of
two clerks who slept in the building. The
clerks, awakened by these operations, arose
his companions to abandon their designs on the
goods and come to his rescue. In the ensuing
struggle two of the burglars received injuries.
and Frederick A. Mirrick, clerk, was killed
by a pistol shot in the head. at the hands of
one Of the gang. The surviving clerk, ran TO

The CHARLESTON MUNICIPAL ELECTION
It appears that this election, which re-
suited in favor Of Gen. WAgener MS
Mayor, is to be protested. The Charles

1t is proper in this place to say that,
so far az we know, not u respectable Re-
publican in Charleston, of my promi-
hence, is connected with the protest
which it is demanded that the City Coun-
Gil should consider. The fathers of the
scheme are Mayor Pillsbnry, Chief IF
Police Hendricks and Alderman Collins.
These worthless have unscrupulously
used the whole power of the city 60

officers, whom the oily pays, have been
detailed, for weeks at u time, to hunt up
witnesses and buy atlidavits. The officers

If these, now. be the chief ele-

Carolina and the South in general, is tho
need Of such truthful, sagacious and
courageous press as that we have de.
soribed. We desire to make this point
plain, for We feel that it is we'll taken by
US. In political point of view, in
South Carolina and in many other por-
tions Of the South, tho press is we'll nigh
all that is left to the intelligence of the
South. They in whose behalf We are
now more particularly speaking have no

seeking to get notice at our hands.
For long time we let it pass. At last,
however. We deemed it proper to turn
upon it. Now it is disposed to cry
"quits." In oil article in yesterdays

it crawls away in our issue with it, We
might retort and call it crab or crar fM.
But declining as we do to indulge in a
paltry war of epithets, we let it pass, in-
tending, however, to keep sharp eye
upon its movements, 80 far as they con-
cern the public interests. We didu't

of the gun, but abe replied that in the

reached down the gun himself, and sup
posing that it WINS NIL loaded, he went

B1ADlGON. .AdJCil OtE. 1CE
Last Monday evening as I was as
cending the stairway in the Capitol, to
60 to the Assembly Chamber, I was
greeted with pleasantly uttered
"Good evening"" and on looking up I
found that it came from Speaker
Smith, who, as we walked along to
gether, said, Nov for a long session,
for this is the last time that we receive
new business" After Mr.. Smitl. had
taken the chair, and called the Assem-
bly, to order, nothing unusual. occurred,
| until he announced that the intr0duc-
ton of bills would be in order, but
| when that announcement was made you
might have seen members In every
part Of the house rise to their feet
with bills in their hands, ready to send
| them up to the Clerks desk as fast as
the messenger boys could carry them
there, until nearly 100 bills bad been
piled up on Mr.. Young's desk to be
read a first and second time, and be
referred to the proper committees, but
it was pleasant to see how perfectly al
home the Speaker, and Chief Clerk
were during all the confusion that
would naturally be produced by the
intr oduction of so large a number of
bills at one time, for each Member
seemed to be anxious to introduce his
bill first, and the messenger boys, who
are always ready to enter into anything
that looks like sport to them, raced to
and fro, each one seemingly .determin-
ed not to be out-done by the other in
the number of bills that he brought to
tbelClerk's desk.
In the Assembly there have been
1853 bills; l20 memorials; 80 resolu
tons IA memorials to Congress. and
"a joint resolutions, intr oduced during
this session.
The Senate committee on Judiciary.
to whom the question of the cons titu
tionallty OF the ''Dells Improvement"
bill was referred, disagreed in their re-
port, majority of the committee are
OF the opinion that it is not constitu
tlonal, while the minority think that it
does not conflict with the constitution.
In the Assembly the bill has been made
the special order tor next Wednesday
evening. The committee on Lumber
and Manufactures to whom it was re
terred IN that house, has reported it
back without recommendation. A
livel y time may be expected during
the debate when the bill shall come for
action
The bill for the establishment of an
restitution for the education of feeble
minded and idiotic children, was re
committed to a select COMMITTEES of
three.
The Legislative Apportionment bill
has been made the special order for to-
morrow evening.
There was quite long debate in the
Assembly last Friday, when the SEN
ate bill to appropriate 5000 TO the
widow of the late Judge Paine came
up. i he bill was advocated by mem.
bers OF both parties on the ground of
justice, and recognition of valuable
public services, and the bill was order
ed to third reading by vote of 81
to 81.

Itseems not unlikely that the pres

loosed for some week, notwithstand-
ing the resolution passed by the House
on Saturday providing for immediate

have taken sectional turn on the Ap

New England, headed by Mr.. Dawes,
fearing curtailment of their relative
