On Monday night last week ago Mr.
A. D. Strobhar, accompanied by two nc
groes, left the turpertinc distllery of Mr..
E. T. Roberts, about four miles from
Grahamville, (wherc he was keeping store
for Mr.. r. with the intention of proceed
ing to the dwelling of n man named
Mckenzie, about two miles distant
He lost his way, however, and concluded
to retracc his steps. The party started
homcward, and whilst walking along the
puohc road, near cane patch, Mr.
Strobhar was fred upon by Thaddeus
Orr, who was concealed in the field, the
load taking effect in fis head and face.
MIR. Strohar was conveyed to his home,
where he fingered in much pain until
Tuesday night about ten o'clock, when
death put an end to his suffcrings.
1t is said that Orr alleges he mistook
the party for robbers, and feared they in
tended to enter his field. and hence he fired.
This allegation, however, is not received
with much credence by persons in the
nelghborhooc, among whom there are
suspicious that there was plot, in which
the two negroes who accompanied young
Strobhar were concerned.
Orr has not yet pccn arrested, having
left the neighborhood shortly after the
shooting. AEcgro named Richard Black.
who was in the canc-feld with Orr, has
been apprehended, and 1t is thought will
oe induced to make confession.
Mr.. Strobhar was native of Savannah,
and was for some time assistant librarian
of the Georgia Historical Society, ard
was worthy young man, generally cs-
teemed.
Since the above was in type we are in
formed that Orr has been arrested for the
crime, and committed to await the ac-
ton OF the grand jury.

them; and it will be strange il this mis-
appropriation of names and sympathies
does not make itself heard in the conyen-
ton.
1t there is to be Southern Pacific
Railroad by Government intervention. it
should be such an one as will minister to
the ports Of the Gulf, Lower Mississippi
and Atlantic coast cities; there are corpor-
ations south of the Potomac and west of
the Mississippi whose ability and respon.
sibility for whatever they may undertake
in the way Of railroad building are quite
equal to thore OF the Texas and Pacific
and Atlantic and Pacific companies, with
whom the task of constructing South
ern Pacific road may be entrusted. A
part Of the Southern members favored
the Texas and Pacific scheme last year
feeling that it was the only alternative.
The fact that Mr.. Scott controls q few
hundred miles OF road in Texas, which
is now in default, and land grant char
tel across that State, which is lapscd and
forfeited, is by no means conclusive
reason why his corporation should be sell
ected to build to the. Pacific Ocean.
If this road Is intended to benefit us
we are unable ia see how it is to be done
and we hope our delegation will take
stand fer branch to the Sea ports of
our coast, especially as Port Royal is in
an almost direct line ard has the neccssa-
ry depth of water for large ships.
