action,sas the planting interests Of South Car
DINA IRE in absolute danger OF destruction by
the present unsettled state Of affairs, the labor
system now being in process OF disinteg ration,
and although the season tor planting is at
hand already, planters are unable, as hereto
fore, to obtain advances OF money from nler-
chants and factors, and this disastrous con-
ditlon Of affairs; they said would continue un-
til some stable system OF government shall
have been established. In short, business is
paralyzed, and credit almost entirely destroy
ed througout the State in consequence of it's
present unsettled condition. Another reason
tor speedy action urged by those gentlemen
was that carpet-b aggers and others interested
in the perpetuation of the Chamberlain- rule
were constantly melting riots and disafection,
and the most assidious care and forbearance
had to be exercised to prevent open breaches
Of the public peace, the ever-present danger
being that they might become general through
out the State. Instances aud illustrations Of
this precarious condition of affairs were pre-
scented to the President with some particulari-
ty and detail.

two years ago, Mrs. Jane Gilbert, a widow

evening, with no one present except her son,
twelve years old, when the murderer ap-
preached within about eighteen feet of the
window and discharged at her a gun heavily
loaded. She was instantly killed. Suspicion
at once fell upon one Andrew A. Weston, a
neighbor who had been sued by Mrs. g., for

was arrested and indicted. and his.trial COM
