INA IRIS in Charleston.

New YORK, June ia letter to the Times
from Charleston, says: from the official re-
cords of the prosecuting attorneys of the
different circuits in South Carolina, it will
lie seen that one third of the number of per-
sons holding minor positions have been in
dicted for some offcnse committed during
their term of Office, and much larger pro-
portion Is charged with crimes of various
kinds prior to their election or appointment
Charleston county is perhaps worse in
this particular than any other portion of
the State. From the highest to the lowest
State officers in the District nearly all have
been charged with and many of them con-
vlcted of one or more otfenses. Among the
cases cited by the Times is that of Richard
II. C;In, Congressman at Large, who is
charged with fraudulent transactions, but
had not been prosecuted because he was

About half-past O'Clock yesterday after
noon there occurred one of those bloody diff
ticulties between colored men. whicii of Late
have become SO frequent that a record OF
the same would be almost a matter of i'm
possibility.
After interviewing all parties, the follow
ing statement carries with ii the sembance
of truth In the house of Lucy Johnson
on Dryades, between Julia and Delord
streets, there resides a festive dam ell bear
ing the cognonen of Emily Hamilton.
Now, it seems that John Perry, who lays
special claims to Emilys affections, did not
like the intrusion of Stanley Thomas either
in her room or in the house, notwithstand-
ing the fact that Thomas is a son of Lucy
johnson.
Discovering Thomas yesterday afternoon,
when he called as usual to pay his devoirs,
Perry requested him in 70 mild manner to
leave, accompanying the request with the
end OF his boot. Thomas made good his es-
cape into the aileyway, but Perry, now en-
ragged to madness, followed him, and as he
thought. discovered him at the hy,lrant
drawing water.
However,, he was mistaken, for the man
who got taste of about three good inches
of steel turned out to be enc Henry Wright.
Not content with the damage already

having been handed him by his mother,
Lucy johnson. New followed fearful
hacking of one another and after a lapse of
! abelt fifteen minutes, had it not been for
the timely arrival of the officers. Judging
from the condition of the men, the atfray
would certainly have terminated fatally to
enc or both parties. With the exception of
Emily Hamilton, the whole party, that is,
Lucy Johnson John, Perry, Stanley Thomas
and Henry Wright were arrested by the
officers. and marched off to the First Pre-
chct Station. As the party reached Ram
part and Julia streets,
Officer Keeling,
who has been on the force since 1865, silently
and without ejecting one word, fell to the
ground, and i'll a few minutes expired. His
body, Nith the balance Of the party, was
conveyed to the Central Station, and after
an examination it was found that his death
was caused from disease of the heart, and
there is no doubt that his life was thus sud
denly brought to close from excitement.
He was good and efficient officer. His
loss will be keenly felt.
DIR. Ames then made an examination of
tke prisoner and it was found that, with

more Southern belt, replanting was general,
both on bottoms and uplands. From the
first week of May to its close, the d:outh

The soil was packed, afterwards baked
