Tho Kuling or Davis at Bolton.

Tho killing OF Davis Mt Bolton.
We have read the account of the
fatal shooting of John Davis at Belton,
by Deputy United States Revenue Col.
lector Mattison, with much pain. In
the apologetic statements of the mat.
ter, We observe two which seem to be
made upon conjecture-one is that the
whiskey in charge of Davis and his
companions was of illicit distillation
the other that Davis is said to belong
to gang which conducted themselves
in some way illegally some time ago.
Both statements may be true, or they
may not. Il will not do to arrest
them in this way, before they are le.
gally proved, In vindication of an act
which, in our judgment, cannot be de-.
Tended. The lives Of men and of oiti.
zens OF this country are too precious
to be taken from them upon such
slight provocation by Government Of
ficials. In the discharge of such duties
as Darling and Mattison were engaged
in. they should have been guided By
discretion and humanity. Granting,
even, that Davis was guilty of viola
tion OF law-admittiug that be was
reckless and desperate he sdid
mot stop when ordered be was
not an outlaw; he was man, with the
rights OF man not forfeited, and dear
il may be to some poor lone wife and
destitute children or aged and de.
pendent parents. It would have been
better to let him escape than to take
the God.giyen life in this harsh and
violent fashion, making a desolate
home, blackening name that for
anght we know may once, or even
then, have been fair, and filing the
heartsof those who survive him with
lite*&ong bitterness and despair. We
.Yrotest, with all our might, against
such rash cruelty, such hasty killing,
and we call upon the Government to
institute the strictest search into the
whole affair, to declare the men con-
cerned in it innocent. if they are inno-
cent, or to punish them, if they vio-
lated its laws and regulations, as they
appear to have those Of O discreet
judgment and q common humanity.

EDITOR PHGNIx: The comet, visible
these nights from its different posi-
tions in the early and latter parts Of
the night, may produce the impression
and belief with some that there are
two different comets; but it is ono and
tho same, aud it seems to move in IL
circle around the North star, like the
Seven Pointers, or Great Dipper, as
aometimes called. It does not set, as
some suppose, but moves some dis
tance in advance of the Pointers and
more inward - that is, making a
smaller circuit, with the tail inclined
inwards. Being night watch at the
Asylum, can have good open view
of it from the third story of the build
ing. On observing it for some nights,
owing to dense atmosphere or hazi-
ness near the horizon, it would dsap-
pear, and 1 could not see it's course
But few nights ago, the sky re-
mained clear and bright. l have
noticed it throughout the night and
could see it oil the time. It moved
Eastward and quite low, and then
gradually began to rise, seemingly
keeping relative distance from the
North or Polar star. The last few
nights have been cloudy, SO I could
not observe any more, but Judge by
thnt night its course and movements
other nights.

THE VICTORY IN ARKANSAS. Tho re-.
scl: OF the recent election in Arkansas
cannot but be gratifying to the De-
mocraey of the country. For years
past, since reconstruction laws and

Arkansas has been giving heavy ma
jorities to the Radicals. She seemed

Deepening tho Bar OF Charleston.

Deepening tho Bar OF Charleston.
The people of Charleston have re-
solved to deepen the bar by dredging
the Pumpkin Hill Channel to the
depth of twenty feet at mean high
water. In conformity with the sug.
geshon of the Chamber of Commerce,
the City Council. at recent meeting,
agreed to enter at once into contract
with Professor Maillefert to execute
The work. He is to re6t and fully
furnish the steam dredge Josephine
and employ it in dredging the channel
to the required depth, and for keeping
open hereafter this aud the other chan
nels across the bar. He is to be ready
to begin in sixty days. The amount
OF $l2, 600 is to be paid, in monthly
instalments of $4,000, to defray the
expenses at the outset; and when,
within twelve months, the dredging
has been completed 30 that there shall
% created permanent passage from
the harbor to the ocean. nowhere less
than $50 feet wide, and nowhere less
than twenty feet deep at mean high
water. upon turning over to the City
Council the steam dredge Josephine in
good order, the contractor is to receive
the remainder due, namely, S38, 900.
1t was unfortunate that the Congress.
sional appropriation for the bar and
harbor of Charleston was 80 small and
inadequate. In a national point oi
view, it is desirable that all obstruc
tions and difficulties in the way of the
business and success of this historica
city should be permanently removed
1t is all she needs to spring forward te
grasp the sceptre OF enlarged CONNER
c!al power. It is thought by Senate,
Robertson that Congress will reimburse
10 the city the money it has so wisely
expended. It should do it, certainly
and appropriate as much moro il
other harbor Improvements.

County Court.

The entire time of this tribunal last week was
taken up in the trial of two cases. One was That
If d +. Murphy VS.. Ed. Drew. The cause of the
conflict was somewhat as follows: Mr.. Murphy
lad mn execution against one White, farmer
living few miles northwcs: of town. This he
attempted to satisfy by Selling some cattle sup
pssed to be the property of White, but it APP
nearod that Mr.. Drew held chattc mortgage
uuon the cattle. Drew replcvied. Murphy at
tempted to show :hat the mortgage was fraud
The Jury failed TO see 1t in that light and Drew
won. The amount in controversy if Drew had
lost would have been about $500. As 1t is MI
Murphy loses the debt and costs. Z. 7. Bull,
Esd, was attorney for Drew, and Rice war
bridge for Murphy.
The next case was that of Frank Fisher, ESD
against Martin A. Howell, Jr, OF Marseiiieb
PAPER stainery fame. Mr.. Fisher sued Howeii
for the recovery OF $500 attorneys fees earned
