MORE A8OG'E TEsE AUSTIN
MURDER.
FURTHER PARTICULARS.
The Accused Adnifted 10 Bail in
Sac sum OF $4,000.
Memphis Apneal ]

Memphis Appeal
This case, which has created 50 much
excitement in Austin, Mississippi, was
determined on the 2Sth ultimo by the
admission to bail Of Captain NJ. J.
Manning and the 0-lcr parties accused
of the murder of James Is Harvey The
whole case was thoroughly investigated
before J. G.. Gallagher, Esq, on the
committing trial of NJ. J. Manning, and
it was shown that the deceased was an
old lover Of Mrs Manuing's; that they
weree Dgaged before her first marrige, and
that she did NOT marry him because they
were both poor She went to the Cen
tennial, and while on her trip sought out
Harvey at Chicago, and brought him TO
Memphis. They went together from
Memphis to Austin on the steamer White,
where unmistakable evidence Cfintimacy
was established. They arranged that he
should write her letter, claiming 10 be
her step brother, addressed to her by her
first husbands name, and inquiring after
her as If they had met since the war
This letter was sent under cover to the
postmaster at Austin, with the request
that it be delivered to Mrs. DunaWay il
living there still. 1t was delivered by
the postmaster to an old negro, Wash
Christian, who at once delivered It to
Mrs. Manning. Captain Manning was
not then at home, and she gave the letter
back to Wash, with instructions 10 bring
it to heragain when the Captain returned
and deliver it to her in ms presence
This was done, and the Captain thus be-
guiled into permitting Harvey % be in
vited TO his house. The declaration OF
Mrs. Manning that she loved Harvey's
little finger better than Manning whole
body, and declarations going to show
that there was precOnccrtcd plot 10 kill
Manning was testified to by Miss Rea-
gan, the niece of Mrs. Manning, who
had accompanied her on the Centennial
trip, and who divulged everything to
Captain Manning on the night that
Harvey was expected down on the boat,
Manning met Harvey and killed him ~
soon as he was pointed Out to him. 1t
also appeared ia the evidence that Man
ming started to arouse the Mayor of the
town and surrender himself, but was
prevented from doing so by DR.. Chap
man, whose wife is the niece Of Mrs.
Manning, and who begged that he would
not bring out the disgrace Of the family
until he was compelled to DO 50. Man
ming was told, both BY DIR. Chapman
and 1. NJ Reagan, that Harvey was a
dangerous man, who would kill him.
The justice granted bail to Captain
Manning in the sum Of ten thousand
dollars, and Judge Powell sustained the
judgment Of the justice and granted bail
on haoeas corpus TO Chapman and others,
who had been committed to Jail without
bail as accessories before and after the
facts The defendants were represented
by General Chalmers, who was assisted
by Hon. S. b. Morgan, of DeSoto.

The views of our Senator elect on III,
absorbing question Of the hour is detineC
as follows in late Washington DIES
patch;
- The houses will be bound, under the
conviction. to meet in the same chamber
and perform the duties and to exercise
the powers which the constitution de-
wolves upon them, to examine and ascer.
tain the result OF the election OF Presi
dent and NieePresident. Neither house
can refuse 10 perform these duties with
out abnegating its constitutional power
and violating its constitutional duty. In
this august assemblage il is the minimum
condition Of our national life that the
duties imposed shall be discharged in the
spirit of truth and patriotism regardless
OF consequences 10 party but profoundly
anxious for those that concern the whole
country. If, however, rs the constitI.
ton contemplates in this, Is well as i'm
other cases, requiring the cooperative
action OF the two houses, they are unable
to agree upon decision whether either
candidate has been elected, it must fol-
low that there can be no constitutional
entertainment and Judgment put upon
record that any one has received a ma
jority of the electors appointed. II is in
effect a failure to elect. In such q ease
the constitution is clear. 1t deyolvcs
upon each. The houses Immediately
proceed in their respective duties-oue
to elect the President and the other the
Nice-President. Let the constitution be |
maintained inviolate and there need be /
no disorganizing collisions and no neces-
sity of reSorting 10 force.

Of the owner whose flock he devours We
reply that the fact that some men, in

not invalidate the argument in favor OF

Because some of the corn sowu by the
planter does not germinate, does net
prove that the greater quantity will not,

NORTH CAROLINA SPEAKS!
Gov. Vance Strikes the Ilcy Note

RALEIGH, n. C.-The Inauguration
Of Gov. Vance passed off quietly. \
large crowd was in attendance. His
address was applauded to the echo.
Abiding to national affairs he said
| conceive our situation to be critical i'm
the extreme. Our only reliance now is
upon the moderation and patriotism OF
Congress. If the representatives. Of the
people and Of the States shall not be
able TO make a penceable and coustitu-
tional solution OF the difficulty in which
the country now finds itself and there
should be attempts, rs threatened, TO
prevent the inauguration Of the candi-
dates fairly elected, one of two things
will happen. Either the majority Of the
American people will quietly submit TO
great wrong, involving the destruction
of the constitution, or there will be a
resort to violence. Let Us look things
in the face The circumstances Of North
Carolina Is well as the Southern States
generally imperatively demand that she
should not be forward in this matter
More than all things else, except good
government, we need peace. In com
mon with the constitutional party in the
North, we think we have fairly elected
our candidate for president Upon that
party and not upon ourselves devolves
the propriety and the duty Of taking the
needed steps towards securing the rights
of the majority, bit let Il not be supposed
that 2ce are indifferent 10 their action, or
decline to came 10 the front because less
entitled to do 80 than ofIers
Blasted as we have been by the desc
lation Of war, purged Of rashness by The
fires of revolution, and sobered both by
public calamity and private sorrow as we
have been, we yet cherish the love Of lib.
erty in our hearts AS the mouth piece
of more than million of people, / be
Here / can 1oih propriety saytor them that
North Carolina may confidently Be reiied
upon to sustaiH that portion Of the people
ofHe United States 5clict shall couciHce as
that it is struggling for the constitution, tie

An Indian by the name of Istamola,
but known by the name of John Won,
died in Kemper county, in this State, on
the 18th day of July, 1876. Having
been born in 1744, he was, at the time
of his death, 1872 years of age, and no
doubt participated in the early cam
paigns against the Indians. This is per
haps the most remarkable case of long
evity on modern record.--Meridian Mer-

Is this system, as State measure,
wise or unwise? Is il the duty of the
State TO take charge Of the educational
interests of its children The latter is
no doubt the most direct and important
question to be considered in bringing the
subject to the attention of the reading
public. If it is a duty, it should have
the generous support which its impor-
lance merits, and such legislation by
which this noble object which it proposes
to accomplish, may be attained. Thus
far, all the legislative enactments govern
ing the system, have been fanciful, i'll
considered extravaganza. AT any rate,
wisdom and justice are not the marked
characteristics of our school laws.
The tree bears little fruit. The effect
of this upon the people can easily be
imagined in these trying times. Some
are disguised, others talk of the burden of
the school tax, however light that may be,
and far greater number are Indifferent,
caring little whether the system succeeds
or not. This state Of things, to say the
least, is deplorable. The writer proposes
to discuss some of its features with the
hope of directing attention to its merits.
