Destruction Of q Whole Family y

Destruction OF a " hoIe Family.
On Wednesday last colored man came
to Woodville with the information that
Mr.. William sturdivant, and wife and
three children the Oldest three years and
the youngest three weeks old) were burn
ed up in their house. Parties Immediate
II proceeded to the spot, near Perrytown,
about twenty-four miles northeast Of
Woodville. Just before arriving, however,
other parties were met coming from the
scene, who gave information that two men,
negroes, had confessed to the murder Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Sturdivant and firing the
house, and that the said negroes had already
expiated their crime-one by being shot
and the other hanged. The negroes who
did this diabolical act were Charles Grigg'
and Willis Reed. The motive is thought
by some to have been for money. At any
rate the manner Of its preparation sur
passes anything in the annals Of crime thai
ever happened in Wilkinson county. Il
is supposed that there are some Others
implicated, and that already two womer
have been arrested as associates.

We indicated in another editorial that
the action Of the State Supreme Court in
South Carolina and the admission of out
side parties, would have its salutary effect
in securing protection to the Count. The
State has been returned according to the
last count for Hayes, but the Democrats
have promptly filed exceptions, and upon
grounds that will effect an honest inter-
ference from the tribunal before which the
complaints are laid.

The action of the State Supreme Court
in South Carolina, in making the functions
Of the Canvassing Board, ministerial only,
and not judicial together with the fact
that outside parties will be allowed to wit
ness the count, gives the Democratic ticket
more reason for hope than in Louisiana
where the whole Board is made up of venal
dishonest men, that the Republican party
in 1872 and 1874 denounced as unprinci-
pied scoundrels.
