rhe rTnrder Of Abrnm PerLIn..

The murder of Abram Perkins, on Thu. day,
was one OF the most unprovohed and inexousa.
bic crimes ever committed in our city. The
victim was a quiet, orderly, aud respectable
man, who at the time of his death was in not
the slightest degree offending against the man
who took his life. He was not even concerned
in the riot which had been going on, near by,
and the attack made upon him was wantou and
outrageous, for the fatal result OF which the
murderer deserves condign punishment 1t ap
pears indeed, that not even the drunken men in
the riot had offended against him personally.
Let tile murderer of Abram Perkins not go
free. We ask Governor Ponder, and the State
officials, as well at those of the city to see that
he be captured The wretch, Dennis, was
caught, and will be punished This other Grim
ina deserves to be, and they must see that he
does not escape

The City Ordinances and The COmmerci u
We sre notified by Mr. e. L Taylor, Clerk OF
the City Council, that the ordinances passed by
that body, commencing with those of June 9th,
are to he published in the COMMERCIAL. Ac-
cordiugly, they appear elsewhere to-day.
We think it due to the public to say that
this official advertising has been in no way what
ever. sought or asked for, by the proprietors Of
the COMMERCIAL, and that it's position as an in
dependent advocate of the public interests has
NOT been compromised, in any degree. 1t is
h ghy proper that the ordinances, and other
official announcements Of the city should appear
in the COMMERCIAL. for the information of the
people, and on this account We are very willing
to print them, but whether we do so, or are or
dpred not to do 30, the discharge OF our duty to
tho public shall not be affected, thereby. We
hope to see the Republican organization prove
itself the best friend of Reform, and believe it
will do so, but if it becomes the enemy of good
government, official patronage will not buy our

The Perkins Murder.
VERDICT OF raE ooRoNER's JURY

Coroner " oodward held an inquest, yesterday
afternoon, on the body of Abram Perkins, who
was killed on Thursday. The jury returned
verdict that the deceased came to his death by
being struck blow or blows on the head by a
club in the hands of Patrick Mullady, on the 4th
of July. The result of post norton examna-
ton, showed that the skull of the deceased was
severely fractured causing congestion of the
brain.
The testimony showed that Perkins had moth
ing TO do with the riot but was peaceably stand
ing ON the side walk south of Water street, when
Mallady came along and felled him with his
bludgeon, and afterwards repeated the blow
when Perkins was insensible.
Perkins will be buried tomorrow afternoon.
