The Largest Bona eide Circulation.
The Charleston Contest.

The municipal contest in Charleston
has been hotter than any experienced
there for years. So far the excitement
has been equally great In the two politi-
cal parties. In the preliminary fight for
the nominations Gurney and Mackey on
the republican side and Boag and Wage
ner on the conservative, have put forth
every effort to secure the favor of their
respective conventions. Gurney has has
been the candidate of the Columbia
powers and seems to have carried a
majority of the republican delegates, but
Mackey played game on him by spring
ing third man upon the convention,
Dir. G. 1. Cunningham who was nom-
mated on the first ballot. He is carpet
bagger from Tennessee but as he arrived
in Charleston before the war, his offence
of not being born in the city is condoned.
The ward meetings Of the conservative
party have been very turbulent. Boag
wasa candidate against Wagner, the
present incumbent. He, too, withdrew
when beaten and the course is left free
to Cunningham and Wagner, with the
chances very slightly in favor of the
former.

THE KING.GREEN MURDER.
Another Story.

HARDEEvILLE, s. c., Sept. 10th, 1873.
Mr.. EDIToR:-Your issue of the llth
inst, contains an account Of row be-
tween William King, and Gilbert Green,
in which tn, former inflicted a death
wound on the latter with an axe. Your
author does not say who started the row,
but says King advanced on Green with
the axe. From the evidence given iu at
che coroner's inquestitappears that King
was running, being pursued by Green
and two others. King succeeded in get
ting in yard, iu rear Of the store, and
was going towards house, when he saw
the axe and picked it up. Just then he
turned and found Green up to him, with
a board raised in the act of striking him
King then struck at him with the axe,
splitting the board and inficting the
wound on Green's head from which he
died, on the Monday following. King
reported, to the coroner, the next morn
ing, that he had inflicted q wound on
Green, whereupon the coroner told him
to go and remain at home in case Green
should die from the effects of the wound.
King did as directed. On Monday even
ing, between sun down and dark, Mr.. Q.
F. Pritchard, procured warrant from
Mr.. Muckenfuss, tthe coroner)' and ac-
companied by King father, and another
colored man, proceeded to the house Of
King, which was about mile from Mr..
MucKcnfuss, where they found King.
When Mr.. T. told King he had come to
arrest him, Kings reply was: "all right,
sir, have been expecting it; please let
me get my coat and shoes, and l will 60
with you. - After he got his shoes and
coat and came out of the house, MIR. P.
mounted his horse, and King with the
other colored man walked together.
Kings father states that NO resistance was
made on Kings part, and that King ,oas
not tied when he left the house. The
coroner also states that he was not tied
when brought to him. l have written
this at the request ofthe prisoners faith
er, who is known through this part Of the
country, by black and white, as being an
honest, truthful and hard working man.
1t is to be hoped that the public mind
will not be unfavorably impressed, or
prejudiced, until the trial comes of. Then
the evidence taken at the inquest, will
show if King is to blame for trying to
defend himself. The poor colored man
is often unjustly cepsured on account Of
misrepresentation made by men, whose
malicious hearts would prompt them to
sacrifice even the life of au ignorant
man, who had no way Of proving his in
nocence, for their personal aggrandize-
ment.

was broken for two more. 1t is mystery
where the money comes from.
Railroads engross fair share of public

would seem that while the subjects of aid

Georgia is hard at work finding an outlet
for the Great West. Trade here already
feels the effect of the lethargy, and con-
tention; large proportion of the freight
that used to pass through this city to the
interior, now goes by the way of Char
lotte and the Air Line. The monotony
of the times has been broken, an over
abundance of rows, either arising from
too liberal use of whiskey, or from jeal-
ousy. Somehow or other the State
House has been favored resort for these
encounters, no less than two having oc-
Cured there. within the past week. A
fellow from Charleston tried to walk into
the governors reception room without
knocking at the secrctary's Office, by
knocking the door keeper out of time.
He brought up in magistrates office and
the next day said he was sorry, and the
matter dropped. A fair damsel, almost
as white as they make 'em, anla gradu-
ate of Oberlin (Ohio) College, also
sought the halls of justice, pistol in
hand, to put out the vital spark Of Mr.
Joseph d. Boston, representative from
Newberry, who she said had talked about
her. The latter has made public his
reasons for saying his say, and peace
reigns in the capital.

THE BALLOON BURST!
Ignlorlous end of the Great Graphic Air
Ship.

New YORK, Sept. u, 4.3O. 2. NJ.
An immense crowd of people went to
Drooklyp to-day to see the balloon inflated
MANY roofs of high buildings in this city
were covered with people with glasses to
view it's promised ascension. They pro-
cess of imitation commenced this morning
and continued steadily during the day
and afternoon. Many people believed
there would be bona fde ascension,
iut others were sceptical. At ten min
utes past four p. NJ, the balloon sudden
L. swayed to the north, ripped half way
around with a great tearing sound, and
FeIl flat upon the ground. The immense
volume Of gas which had been pumped
into it, nearly four hundred thousand
feet, escaped nearly sufocating those
who stood on the lee side Inspector
Falk. MIR. Goodsell and Police Commits
sioner Briggs, lad but an instant before
shifted their position to the eastward,
and both escaped being buried IN the
netting and canvass. The crowd made
a general rush over the ropes with the
intention of tearing the balloon into
small pieces and carrying them of as
mementoes, but the strong force Of police
on the ground charged and drove them
back, but not before many had succeeded
The person who had contracted to till the
balloon said that it would be all folly to
attempt another initiation, as the bag was
not made of the proper material. So the
enterprise is abandoned tor the present.

THE OCEAN.

When hear the wild winds moaning,
AID the surgfng Of the deep,
Ny spirit shudders coldly,
And unconsciously weep.
When my eyes are shut in slumber,
At the dismal sound start,
For that ceaseless wall and signing,
Are so very like my heart.
Ever moaning, ever signing,
For the things that cannot be,
Like the cryings Of the night winds,
And the sobbings Of the sea.
Yet the dreary winds can slumber,
And the sea can be at peace,
But theturmoil of my spirit ah!
Shall never, neuer cease.

The Cotton Press.

The cotton press company have
commenced work on the location chosen
at Port Royal for their press, which is
unloading there. Mr.. McCrea is build
ing an Office for them and enclosing
thei. lots with substantial fence. The
press will be put up immediately in the

the cotton directly to the side of the YES
sci. As the uncompressed bales will be
delivered to the press right from the car
and the compressed cotton will pass
directly from the press to the side ofthe

ted that the machine will be ready for
business by November 18th.

In New York there is some betting
on the balloon in the sporting circles
about town, but it is evident that the
betting men don't believe in it. The
odds are overwhelmingly against it, and
it is hard 10 find anybody who will risk
anything on it. That the Balloon will
neither cross the ocean nor get half way
across, bets are offered nineteen TO- one |;
that it will never 60 a hundred miles
away from land, nine to one ): that the
balloonists will not stay up single day,
five to one that Wise will never find
the westerly current, three to one; that
the whole thing will be fzzlc, two to
one: that the balloon will burst, bets
are even.

AT LoGGERHEADs.
Every indication now is, that there is
some pretty warm work preparing. The
leading members of the general assembly
do not intend that the supreme court
shall settle the debt question, or take
any step that way that they may consid-
er an Infringement upon their rights to
settle that question themselves. 1t is al
most too early yet to form any definite
idea as to what turn affairs may take,
but it is quite certain the fight between
the law makers and law expounders is
being thoroughly organized. 1t is not
impossible that serious results may fol-
low; perhaps an impeachment or two.
IF the legislature marks out the dead
line, the "ringsters" in New York will
better know who to deal with.
TYING DOWN THE COURTS
A decision has been filed, with which
the chiefjustice refused to concur, pro-
nouncing the act which takes away the
power of circuit courts to issue writs of
prohibition to restrain the collection Of
taxes, constitutional. This may or may
not have bearing upon the plans of the
Ring" 1t will be curious to watch,
