Murder in Pickens.

The Pickens Sentinel contains an account of
the brutal and outrageous murder of Mr. M.
Frank Mitchell, Deputy United States Mar
shal, who was killed by band Of unknown
men about nine miles from Pickeus G. H., On
Tuesday evening, 18th inst. Mr.. Mitchell was
returning from the neighborhood of Table
Rock, where he had captured contraband
still, and arrested the colored man in charge,
whose name is VIM. Sutherland. The parties
who perpetrated this hellish deed were lying
in ambush near the roadside, and as MIR.
Mitchell and his deputies approached, they
were fred upon, one ball striking Mitchell in
the upper part of the stomach, under thepoiut
of the breast bone, which caused his death.
He fingered, however, until three o'clock on
Wednesday morning, but was unconscious du-
ring that time. Before the bushwhaekers fired
upon Mr. Mitchell and his party, they called
to the negro by name to get out of the way,
and after he had made his escape, the firing
commenced and continued until fifteen shots
we're discharged. One of the deputies, Mr..
]. A. Mckee, received slight flesh wound
in the calf Of his leg. BE states that there
were FIVE white men in the assaulting party.
We have understood, from private source,
that the firing upon Mitchsll's party did not
cease until Mckee and another deputy return
ed the fire, when their assei'ants left. Mckee
remained with Mr.. Mitchell, ana the other
deputy went to Pickens G. H. for assistance.
We knew Mr.. Mitchell as quiet and inoAen-
sive citizen, and in the discharge Of his duties
as Deputy Marshal, there has been no COM
plant against him from any class of people.
AS he was not prepared to carry off the still
and other apparatus, the duties of his Office
required him to break up the illicit business,
which incensed parties interested, we presume.
Although the perpetrators Of this horrible
crime are as yet unknown, we are assured that
no stone will be left nnturned to identify and
bring them to justice.

Early Cotton Blooms.

eSome.of oHr friends may have been disap-
pointed last week that there was No aeknowl-
edgrent of cotton blooms received at this
office, as several persons brought blooms on the
18th, 18th, 18th and 10th. We confess to
little singnlarity on this subject, as we cannot
believe that it is to the interest Of the farming
community to parade the appearance of early
squares, blooms and bolIs to the world, as it
gives a false impression most generally in re-
gard to the forward condition of the cotton
crop, and spectators take advantage of these
reports to the injury Of the producer. This IS
especially true the present season. Where
cotton was planted early, we find that the dry
weather has forced squares and blooms at least
ten days sooner than might have been expected
ordinarily, and yet the general condition of the
CROP up TO the recent rains, was not so favora-
bic, in consequence of the drouth. Hence, to
boast of early cotton blooms this season, as an
Indication of the crop and its forward state, is
10 falsify the facts, and tends to create the
opinion among spectators that the coming
crop will be early in the market, and they at
once conclude that the increased acreage, to-
gether with the extensive use of fertilizers and
the probable yield based upon its advanced
condition, is sufficient to warrant depression
in prices, which they seek to accomplish by
every means in their power. The truth of this
proposatio1 is sustained already in the steady
decline Of prices for future delivery, and which
we expect will continue, as favorable news is
received from, the cotton region. We are we'll
aware that our disinclination to give currency
TO false ideas concerning the cotton crop will
not accomplish much, since it is the custom
among newspapers to note the appearance OF
early blooms and bolls in their respective com
munities, but we think this is one of those
customs temore honoreti in the breach than the
observance" and for this reason we throw out
the hint to our contemporaries, who are equally
anxious to subserve the true interests of their
frmiug friends, which can best be done by
statements from time to time of the actual con-
dition Of the growing crops.

Bratton, who is also charged with having COM
mitted murder in that State. Our government
will send him back to Canada without delay
and indemnify him for the false arrest"
- One of Grants most remarkable appoint
ments has been made in the person OF e1-car-
pet-bag Congressman Clarke, OF Texas. to be
Postmaster at Galveston, at salary OF 81 900
q wear. 1t is but little more than q month
since Clarke was unanimously expelled from
his seat in the House on unanimous report of
a committee that he held it by the grossest
fraud. Yet in the face OF this most unprece-
dented action of the House Unprecedented
because it was unanimous and in violation of
Grants boasted civil-service reform-the pres
ent Postmaster at Galveston is removed on no
charge whatever and Clarke installed merely
to give the latter place.
DR.. ]. R. Bratton, Of York, was recently
kidnapped in Canada by two persons claiming
to act as U. S. Marshals. He was put under
the influence of chIoroform, and by these pre-
tended officials brought to Detroit, and from
thence to South Carolina. After preliminary
examination, he has been released on bail in
the sum of $4,000 to answer at the special
term of the L. S. Court in Columbia on the
first Monday in August. DIR. Bratton has been
charged with being the head of ku klux
organization, and when the arrests began last
fall he made his escape to Canada, where he
has been living under the name of James
Simpson His footsteps were dogged, however,
with the result above stated. The authorities
of Canada are indignant at this proceeding, rs
it is a violation of the extradition laws, and it
is stated that demand has been made by the
British minister at Washington for the rcsto-
ration Of Or. Erattou to Canadian soil.

Latest News.

In the House of the Legislature on
last Wednesday, the Lock aud Canal
Bill was taken up and referred to the
former Committee to report an amend
ment securing TO the State the imme-
diate use of the water power. In a
snort time this amendment was re-
ported lelck and adopted. An effort
was made to reduce the amount Of the
rent to $a5.OOO per year; then $780,
900: hut both efforts failed. 1t was
agreed, however. to reduce the rent
to 100000 per year, thus diminishing
the annual rent $4,000. The bill has
not yet passed the House, but in case
1t passes the two HOlIst.s and becomes
u law, the opponents Of the measure
have succeeded In saving to the State
the sum Of 100000 u year for twelve
years, by this amendment. and also
secured to the State the right to the
water power, at once.
The bill repeating the Litigant Act
Of last session passed the Senate on
Wednesday, and now only awaits the
signature Of the Governor.
The following bills were passed by
the State Senate OH last Wednesday:
