AN EXTRAORDINARY OcoURnENcE.-In
the case Of Merritt r. Newman, charged
with the murder OF Jonathan II. Lowery.
in 1870, which hos been on trial in the
Superior Court OF Richmond County,
Ga, the jury failed to reach verdict by
the difference OF single juror from the
convictions Of the other jurors. Under
these circumstances, Mr.. Crump, fore.
man, informed the Court that it was the
desire OF q large majority OF tho jurors
not to be discharged from the oonsidera.
tion Of the case.
Judge William MoLaws, counsel for
the defendant. as duty to his client,
respectfully protested against the dis.
charge OF the iury-espeoialIy in view Of
the fact that large majority Of the
Jurors protested against suoh disoharoe.
Ia all his practice he had nsver known a
case before where jurors had ssked NOT
Ito be disoharged-they were generally
anxious to be relieved.
Judge Gibson said the case was not go
olear to his mind as to justify him in
forcing any juror to a conclusion, and
discharged the jury.

PRESIDENTIAL AsP1RANTs. Whether
General Grant has definitely made up
his mind to keep the Presidency for q
third term has not yet been ascertained
from his own lips; but It is evident from
the way. the Kepuslioan papers are
shrusting the names Of prominent men
Of their party before the country in con-
neotion with the next nomination, that
there is great deal Of uneasiness in the
Republican camp over the subject. or
course, if Grant says he must be nomi-
mated. there will be no alternative on the
part of these journalists but to submit.
Rhe most notable candidates for the sue.
sion are Senator Morton, Minister
Waehburnes' Speaker Blaine. Senator
Conkiing, Woe President Wilson and the
inevitable Ben. Butler. The list will be
greatly extended by the end OF next
year, if, in the meantime, Grant does
not signify his intentiono OF staying at the
White House, in which case every aspir.
ing head will suddenly draw back into
its shell.

HORRIBLE Aco1DRNr.-The Winnsboro
Ners furnishes the following particulars
of the death Of Mr.. Maokerell. referred
to in yesterdays FHGNx:
On Sunday morning, at BIaokstook,,
in this County, tho body OF Mr.. James
Mackerell was discovered on the track of
the Charlotte, Oolumbip and Augusta
Railroad, badly crushed and bruised. A
post naortens Examination was held by
Trial Justice Maokey over the corpso.
DR.. O. II. Ladd conducted the examina-
Hon. No one Witnessed the accident.
bnt it appears the unfortunate man was
sleeping on tho track when the Northern
bound night train arrived. and was struck
and rolled over on the cross.ties for se.
veral yards. His fright arm was shivered
to the elbow. four ribs were fractured.
and the hip joint dis,ocated. There were
other contusions and gashes on different
portions OF the body. Dr.. Ladd thinks
the fracture OF the ribs and the oonse.
quent lacerasion TO the lungs and ab-
dominal organs caused DEATH. This ao.
cident is mysterious. The cars were
within few hundred yards Of the depot.
The engineer either did not know Of it,
G. else concealed it. He should be in4
terrogated about il. These roilwaylacoi-
dents ara too frequent, and it is due both
TO the engineer and the public to know
whether he is to blame. Mr.. Maokerell
was abont nineteen years OF age, and q
native OF Ireland, bnt had resided in
this County Tor two years. He was Ca.
teemed by all his aoquaintances, and his
death is universally regretted.
