Between seven and eight O'Clock on

named Francis lizard went down to the
steamer Pilot Boy, lying at Accommoda-

on board of the steamer he was struck on
the back of the head with a blunt instru-
ment, his ass4ilant eXclalming, Damn
you, l took you for the mate" He fell
senseless, and lay for some time bleeding,
with a fearful cash in his scalp. 4ester-

ESS- Hon. j. M. Smith the successor of
Bullock in Georgia was inaugurated on
Friday last. He is democrat, and that
party has now complete control of a State
which is as naturally republican as is
South Carolina, but which has passed in
to the hands of the opposition because re-
publican officials were untrue to the in
terests Of the State.

propose to weigh all umbrellas sticks, frames han

duty TO 100 per cent We have been led hope for
q reduction of duties, not such fearful advance.
We beg you to call the attention OF our Representa-
