The Armed Force Fund,

In another column we publish the

ment about impeachment. It will be
seen that Moses got Sll, l,G0J; Elliott,

Amoung the latter comes Senator SmallS
He is put down for $50: We would be
glad to be able to, state what service he
rendered the State for this $500. He
must, if he values the good opinion of
4he community, show with. exactness
what this money covers. Mr.. Whipper

There are three ficticious names in the
list for large sums. j. Mooney gets
$25, 54j; d. II. Wilson gets Sl2, 500;,J.
Leggett gets $4,000. 1t is said that

C0RONER'S INQUEST.

On Thursday last Coroner Carleton
held an inquest on the body Of Carrie
A. Hamlin, at the Courthouse, Beau
fort. She died as reported in our last
issue On. Wednesday at the old Club
House, and was buried the same day
by the county authorities, but was dis
Inferred on Thursday and a post NOR
tenn examination held by DR.. II. NJ.
Stuart the county physician, assisted
by DR.. S. B. Thompson.
The witnesses examined at the in
quest were the nurse, the doctor who
attended her, and others who visited
her during her illness. we give below
the principal facts clicited duringthein'
quiry, together with the Verdicts OF the
jury.
Sophia Graham, the MUSE in the
course of her evidence described the
condition of the deceased, during the
time she waited on her:-She was sur
fering from fever and diarrEGa, and
gave her instructions about her medi-
cine. which consisted Of Qu'nine pow
ders, to he taken in twenty drops OF a
liouid contained in a small vial. The
deceased was apparently becoming
convalescent on Tuesday when the
nurse washed her, and put her on clean
clothes. when she went TO bed dcsnln9
the nurse to 60 for the doctor. The
doctor visited the deceased in the ab-
sence of the nurse, who when she re-
turned found The deceased unable to
speak, and apparently Supplied, in
which condition she remained until she
died.
Dr. II. NJ. Stuart dcposed TO having
held a post mortem examination. and

five months advanced i'll pregnancy;
but he found no evidence otan attempt
to urOduce abortion, but it was utterly
impos ssible TO tell whether any such
attempt had been made.
lie had attended the deceased, but
The last time he had seen her was the
first of June. She had complained TO
him. and had done so for two months,
of the suppression of the menstrual
flow He gave her tonic medicine, and
she complained that the medicine was
not strong enough. ljc had examined
her stomach and there was 40 inllama-
ton. There was an enlargement OF
the liver but nothing special. lniiama-
ton of the stomach is produced by
diarrhra, and medicine that would be
given to produce a menstrual ho|

NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN.

The mis- government Of the Southern
states since reconstruction has resulted IN
q general dcnunciation Of cappet-baggcrS
meaning northern men recently settled IN
the south. We have heard the same
outcry in our own county during the
present senatorial canvas. But the fact
is that in this and other states the north :
crn man has been no more TO blame, II as
much, than the southern republicans: In
this state we find the democratic repre-
scntatiYes ir the legislature Of no Moral
force. Though few in numbers they
might have accomplished much if they
had been men Of high character and cor
rect principles. But a reference to the
journals of the house and senate Will
show them to have voted for Some Of the
worst bills passed during the four years
since 1865. Ofthe republican southern

The Disturbances In Ireland.
LONDON, August Is.

Dispatches from Belfast to noon to-
day state that the disturbances there con-
tinued through Saturday night and on
Sunday, and were not yet ended. The
populace are divided into hostile Catho-
lie and Protestant mobs. Whenever
they come in contact there is a fight.
The police were using every effort to stop
the rioting. They had been obliged to
fire on the rioters on both sides, 'and
many of the latter were wounde ;. Troops
with fixed bayonets now occupy the prin-
cipal streets and keep the mobs apart.
The dragons of the 4th regiment have
arrived at Belfast from Dublin, and con-
stabulary were pouring into the city from
all parts. No persons are reported killed,
but the excitement is so great that it is
impossible to get definite particulars.

but person does not loose his senses
except in the latter stages of poisoning
from yellow iassamine. 1t has been
given in cases Of fever, but is not
general remedy, nor is there any Off
cinal preparation oft.
DR.. Henry Jones gave similar evil
dence as to the symptoms stated to DR..
Stuart, but said that she had denied to
him that she was pregnant. lie treat
ed her periodically for dis. minerrhoea,
with aloes, and the gleseminum was
given as fever remedy. lie gave di-
rections for thirty or forty drops to be
taken and the authorities allowed<a
maximum of fifty. When he saw the
deceased on Tuesday morning she was
perfectly intelligent ard he was sur
prised at the sudden change. On
Tuesday night he did not think she
was dangerous, altough she laid in a
stupor, completely relaxed. He ap-
piled electricity to her for three quar-
ters of an hour and it had some effect.
She moved her limbs, and he expected
on Wednesday morning to find her
restored and out of danger. He had
only supplied one vial of yellow jassa-
mine and about one fourth had been
used. He thought about one hundred
drops.
DIR. Stuart was recalled, he thought
that one hundred and fifty drops had
gone out of the vial. He had no
knowledge whether that amount if TAX
en- at one dose would produce death as
he never used it in his practice, there
were other fever remedies, Of not so
dam srous character. Medical works
were produced containing a description
of the gelseminum, from which it ap-
peared that besides being fever rem
edy it was used in cases Of suppressed
menstruation. -
Mr.. Collins gave evidence as to a
conversation he had with the deceased
on the Thursday previous when the
deceased; had told him that she had
been sick and expected to be sick
again, aud that she might die.
The jury disagreed and the following
vcrdlcts were given:

MR. DAWES AND OUR FINANCES.

Mr.. Henry L. Dawes is chairman OF
the Committee of Ways and Means in
the House Of Representatives, and a
Repr, sentative from the tenth district
of Massachusetts. We make a few
extracts from a speech OF his delivered
iu the House OF Representatives about
Is months ago when there was no po-
litical contest and when mens' opinions
are not apt to be biased by political
considerations. The speech discussed
the finances of the government and the
question of appropriations. Regard
ing the general estimates he said: Now
sir, Andrew johnson in the last year
of his administration said be could
carry on the government for one year
for S3O3, 100000. The people thought
that extravagant and prohigate; We
cut it down so, 100000.
Now sir, what does our own admin
istration estimate that it will carry on
the government for, for the next Year,
The sum estimated for is 1881 ;O97 ia.
G2: an increase over the last es1lnate
of the administration OF Andrew John
son for 1S69-70 Of SIS .097, ia G2. But
we cut down his estimates S20, ,OUO,OOJ,
so that the exact difference between
this book Of estimates for the present
administration and the appropriations
made the last year Of Andrew John
sons administration is $40 ,GS2, ,53' Vi.
Having fastened the charge Of waste
fulncss and extravaganza upon the adj
ministration, Mr.. Dawes draws some
infercnces touching the relations or
this expenditure to the conservation 1t
political power in the hands OF the adj
ministration:
There is not one Of these depart
mcnts that does not estimate TO- day,

increase of expenditure over the APP
preparations Of last Year, save only one,
and that is the poor, unpopular Attor-

of this remarkable trait in his charac'
ter that it is contemplated at the other

further public service, and to drive
him into private life.
