PRESIDENTIAL PRospECTs.-According
to the New York Herald, tho Prcsi'
dental prospects Of Mr.. Greeley have
lately frightened not little. No
ono competent to judge, had any
hopes Of carrying the strongholds OF
Rcpublicanism in the States Of Yer
mont and Maine the true strength
of the Liberal movement is in those
States which sent largo Republican
delegations to the Cincinnati Conven-
ton. These, it supposed, will be car
ried entirely for Greeley. They are
New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illi-
nois, Indiana, Missouri, aud New
Jersey, with their 146 electoral votes.
Add TO these 61 electoral votes of the
cmocratic States of Delaware, Mary
land, Virginia, Georgia, Kentucky,
Tennessee and West Virginia; IS
more than arc necessary for choice.
Besides, there arc good chances in the
doubtful States of New Hampshire,
Connecticut, North Carolina, Florida,
Texas. California and Oregon enough
to balance the loss Of Ohio and Illi-
nois, if by any possibility, Greeley
should lose those States.
AT any rate, the supporters of -Ar.
Greeley arc now very sanguinc, and
will prosecute an energetic campaign
in the confident hope of carrying the
October elections in tho three impor-
tant States of Pennsylvania, Indiana
and Ohio. Success in these will rem
der any further strenuous cxertions

SHOCKING HOMICIDE.
Death Of Capt. J. D. Caldwell, OF
Columbia.

Our Columbia exchanges contain
full details Of a shocking homicide
which occurred in that city on last
Saturday afternoon, and which
grew out of difficulty between
Judge S. W. Melton and G. w.
Montgomery. The victim was
Capt: j. D. Caldwell, a well-known
and higely esteemed citizen. The
facts as briefly stated by the Caro-
linian are as follows:
"Detwecn 4 and S o'clock yester-
day, all the parties seem to have
been at the same time at Pollock's
Exchange, on Main street. Judge
Melton, in company with Mr.. Cald-
well and Major James NJ. Morgan,
at dinner in the upper part of the
building, and Mr.. G. w. Montgom-
cry and Mr.. George Tupper in the
dining room on the first floor in
rear of the bar, in which were sew
cral other gentlemen at the time OF
the fatal occurrence. Judge Mel
ton and his friends having finished
dinner, came down stairs, and, pass
ing the room in which the other
party were, opened the door and
looked in, Immediately withdraw
ing and closing the door. In a
very short time after, he again en-
tered the room followed by Capt.
| Caldwell and commenced all as
sault upon Montgomery. who was
seated at the dinner table, During
the fight between these two, the pis-
tol shots were fred.
'Richard Washington testified
before the Coroner that the pistol
was in the hands of Captain Tup-
per. One ball took effect upon
Capt. Caldwell, passing through
the heart and producing death in
stantly. Another ball took effect
lin the left shoulder of Major
James NJ. Morgan, inficting a
painful but not dangerous wound. !"
A jury Of inquest was impannel-
ed on Saturday evening and con-
cIuded their investigation on the
next morning. They brought in a
verdict Of wilful homicide against
Mr.. Geo. Turper. Judge Melton
was arrested, but was subsequently
released; Messrs. Montgomery and
Tupper were lodged in Jail.
The funeral Of the deceased took
place in the presence of a large
concourse OH Sunday afternoon.
The Pheonir says:
Mr.. Caldwell was a native of
Columbia, about thirty-one years Of
age, and served gallantly through
the late war. He was a son Of the
late John Caldwell, Esq, and
brother-in-law of Senator Robert
son. Mr.. Caldwell leaves a wife,
two children, mother, sisters,
brother, and a host of other rela-
tives, besides a number OF devoted
friends. to lament his untimely
end. lie was honest and generous
to fault. Poor John! His sud-
den and ill-fated demise is deeply
deploped by the entire community.
He was universally known, and
was highly esteemed by all classes
rich and poor, white and colorcd:
All who knew him in lie admired
hin. for his many good qualities of
head and heart. lie was accom-
plished, charitable and sociable.
Ills companions will perceive a
void in their social circle that can
not readily be filled. This sad
event has cast gloom over our en-
tire city. and a feeling Of sympathy
for the family of the deceased per-
vadcs every heart. Repmescat IN
pace. The funeral services will be
held this afternoon at 4 o'clock

Nas We learn from our friend, Mr..
VIM. Wickliffe, of the "Centre of
Gravity" that the cotton crop cf the
Diamond Hill township will not ex-
ceed q half crop. Ho thinks that
after the guano bills, the corn bills,
the bacon bills, and the -four bills arc
paid, there will be little loft to pay
the printers bills. This, he thinks,
may apply equally to the County and
State. We trust that the printers
bill will not be postponed to the last.
AS it is small, would it not be advisa-
bic to pay this first? What say onr
friends?
