On Wednesday night Mr.. Avery ID Put
nam, well-known and highly respected
merchant, of New Y ork, entered Seventh
avenue car to ride home. His attention
was attracted by an intoxicated man stand
ing on the front platform and behaving in
a rude manner to two ladies sitting near
the front end of the car. He shut the
| door and the drunken man opened it.
| Again he shut it and again the door was
| opened. After this process had been re-
peated several times, Mr.. Putnam went
outside, shut the door behind him and
held it with his hand The conductor
came out soon after and asked the drunk
en- man why he wished to have the door
open. He replied that he wished TO go
into the car. The conductor told him to
do so, and Foster. for that was his name,
entered and sat down opposite the ladies
he had been annoying. MIR. Putnam also
returned and took seat by the side OF
Foster When the car reached Forty
sixth street, Mr. Putnam and the two la
dies, went to the rear platform to alight.
| The gentleman was already in the street
and had helped out one of the ladies, when
Foster rushed round side of the the car and
struck heavy blow upon the head of Mr..
Putnam with club or slung-shot. The
ladies screamed, crowd collected, the
ruffian escaped and the conductor started
up the car. Mr.. Putnam was taken to
hospital, where he died early on Saturday
morning. Foster was arrested the same
night at his fathers house, and after the
usual conflict of authority between the po-
lice justice and the coroner, was lodged in
jail, where he now lies. He is the son of
wealthy parents, who long since cast him
off for his dissolute habits. He had been en-
ployed as conductor by the Seventh Av-
enue Company for the past month, but
had been off duty tor several days before
the murder.

Gen. Hampton on the situation.

General Wade Hampton has written
a letter to Gen. d. III. Hill, which is
published, giving the reasons that con-
vince him the true policy of the South is
to abstain altogether from all partlcipa-
ton in the next National Democratic
Convention. They are
lst. The Southern delegates IN ma
tional convention could exercise no in
fluence in shaping the policy, making
up the issues, or selecting the candidates
for the next contest without seriousl.
iniuring the prospect of a democratic
triumph. That this would inevitably
be the case is proved by the result OF
the last democratic convention, where
the very presence of Southerners was
used to prejudice the action and to de-
feat the candidates of our party
I'd. Iftbe southern delegates could
not with propriety exert any influence
in the convention, while there mere at
tendance in it might result in Infinite
mischief to the democratic party, it is
surely the part ofwisdom to retraintrom
participating in the deliberations Of the
convention.
sd The northern democracy will
have to bear the burden of the fight in
the next presidential contest, and 1t Is
only right that they should choose the
field and select the standard bearers.
The letter concludes:
OF course, in pursuing this policy, we
should take care to have our conduct
and motives fully understood by our
northern friends. We should say to
them that we are actuated solely by the
desire to promote the success of demo
cratic principles and democratic candl-
dates: that we wish to leave them free
to act as the best interests Of our party
demand and that we pledge them IN
the contest all the aid we can give, on
" asking them to give us q good plat
form and as acceptable candidates as
they can When the platform IS an
nounccd and the candidates selectedthc
democracy of the South can ratlty the
action Of the national convention, and
they can use every effort to secure the
success the party, for on. its success
depends the existence Of the southern
States.

DcAru OF A REMARKABLE Man.
Died, September l6, 1871, at Sandy
Hook, Md, Mr. James O'Ncil, at the
patliarchal age Of nincty-three years.
In many respects Mr. O'Neil was re-
markable man. Although far beyond
the allotted age of mankind, he retained
to singular degree and almost to the
hour of his death the mental and physi-
cal yigor for which he was noted I'm
assuming and retiring to fault, he yet
had in his veins the blood of the proud
est chivalry Of christendom, the O'Neils'
of Tyrone the victors of Benburb and
The Yellow Ford and the bravcst
and most persistent enemies Of Saxon
domination i'll Ireland.
His great age enabled him to recall
from memory that glorious though sad
period in the history Of his native coun-
try which is illumined by the genius OF
Curran and Grattan and the heroism Of
Emmett and Fitz Gerald. Many
thrilling narrative could the old man re
late of the memorable Summer of 1873
when at New Ross, Oulard, Arklow,
Vinegar Hill and Tara of the Kings
the pcasantry of Wexford armed with
pixies and shot-guns encountered one
hundred and thirty-four thousand Brit
lsh soldiers, many Of them Veterans OF
Burger Hill and Brandywine-a strug-
ole which though it ended disastrously
for the patriots is one Of the most glorl-
Gus in the annals of any people.
For many years Mr.. O'Neil had his
coffin prepared, and painted by his own
hands with the national colors and en-
blem of his native land In this coffin
he was buried and there is some
thing very touching in this display OF
the old mans ruling passlon-strong in
death-an all-absorbing love for the
country rendered illuStrious by the deeds
of his chivalrous ancestors. lie sleeps
in the romantic cemetery of Harper
Ferry, enshrouded with the flag which
his fore-fathcrs so often carried through
the crash of battle to victory on the
shores of Tough Erne, and 1t may not
be too much to hope that his spirit re-
ioices in the foreknowledge it nom pos
sesses of the day of deliyerance for the
land which he loved so well.-Free

The Order of Industry, a colored or
ganization OF our community, celebrated
the anniversary of Mr. Lincoln'S Emanci-
patton Proclamation, by a Procession
and other exercises on Thursday last.
Smiths Band (colored) from Cumber-
land was in attendance, and the column
consisting ofthe Sabbath School Schol-
ars, appropriately dressed, marched
through the principal streets of our town,
marshalled by Jasper Thompson, Henry
Houke, James Williams, Lucien Tyler
and Thomas Dodson, all mounted. The
day was spent in neighboring grove,
and upon their return to town, cheers
were given for the Court House, and
very lively music discoursed in their
march through the streets. All partici-
pating seemed to enjoy themselves, and
it gives us pleasure to add that as
general rule, good order prevailed, and
the day passed quietly.-SpirH.

Ge4y" COMMITTED SUICIpE.-On W ed
nesday night of last week, Mr.. David
III. Protzman. Of HagerStown, Md, and
well known in this community, commit
ted suicide in that place, by shooting
himself through the body with a gun
at the extremity Of West Church street,
near the residence ofMrs. Cordell. AT
ter shooting himself he ran to the house
of Mrs. c., where he was attended 10y
Dr. c. b. Boyle, but the shot was Ia
tai ore, having passed through the en-
tire lung and body, and he expired in
about two hours after the decd was com
mitted The Noi' says:
"The theory Of the manner of his
death is this About sixty or seventy
feet from the house is, among others,
slight depression in the ground caused
by the quarrying of rocks. Seating him
self on one side, he placed the butt OF
the gun against the other, with the
muzzle to his breast, and through the
instrumentality of the ram-rod reached
the trigger and caused the fatal eXplo-
sion. He then rushed to the door, bleed
inc fearfully and falling against 1t,
aroused the inmates who opened it,
whereupon he fell upon the floor ex-
hausted, where he remained still bleed
ing profusely, until surgical aid could
be procured.
He was about % years of age, and his
remains were inferred in Rose hill
Cemetery on Friday afternoon last.

Ak ADVOCATE OF REPUDATIoN.-The
Richmond (Na) State Journal, organ OF
the republican party, in its issue OF the
23d inst. comes out square in favor Of
repudiating the interest on the State
debt for the two years now next cnsu-
inc. 1t says that the revenues will not
suffice to pay the $2,000000 ofinterest
due and also maintain the school system;
that the people cannot bear any further
taxation, and that the schools should be
preferred to the public creditors.
Some question will naturally present
itself as to the value OF a teaching whose
first lesson is to be one of diShonor. But
the State authorities claim that the pub
lie revenue will be found sufficient for
the public needs.

That tidal wave, to the height of ff-
ty feet or more, which, Prof Agassiz
says ''on the evening Of the fifth or on
the morning of the sixth Of next month,
would sweep over the whole ocean coast
from Cape Hatteras to Bahia, and sub
merge all parts of the surface along the
coast that are not more than forty feet
above the ocean level as flood tide, is
creating considerable sensation among
some credulous Carolinians on the coast,
and frightening tirhid people in that di-
rection who are noe prepared to GO
The Carolina Messenger advises its
friends in Newbern and Beaufort to
build Noah's ark and be on the "look
out" for the predicted tidal wave.
