dressed to the Columbia Register, Governor
Hampton says:
"Do announce that my physician prescribes
entire rest for me for short time in the
mountains hope that this prescription will
enable ME to take the field with my usual
health and strength. But to do 80 [ must
give up few Of the pending meetings, and 1

Death of Judge Inglts.
-- Judge John A. Inglis, Chief Judge Of
the Orphans Court of Baltimore, died in
that city last Monday morning, aged 65 years.
Judge Ingls was native of Baltimore, but
at an early age removed to South Carolina,
where he became a very prominent citizen.
He served the State in the Legislature and
on the bench with distinguished fidelity. At
the close of the late war he, with Chief Jus.
tice A. H. Dunkin and Judge Wardlaw, con-
stituted the Court of Appeals, which was su-
perseded by the Supreme Court, constituted
by the Reconstruction Constitution. Soon
after that he returned to Baltimore and re.
sunaed the practice of his profession. He was
subsequently chosen Judge of the Orphans
Court, which position he held to the time of
his death.
Tho Edgefield ARRAY.
-- The Edge6eld correspondent of the
News and Courier says the coroners jury,
after tedious investigation and the exam
ination of number Of witnesses, and ad-
journing from day to day, returned verdict
on the 23rd instant, that James and Thomas
Booth came to their death from pistol.shot
wounds by pistols in the hands of parties to
the jury unknown. So ends the first act in
this bloody drama.
The jury was composed OF nine white and
three colored men, and all Of them men of
intelligence, the foreman being Capt. E. Il.
Youngblood, retired member of the Edge
field bar.
Marion Booth and David Kissick were ar
rested on Saturday by the deputy sheriff of
Edgefeld county and committed to Jail,
charged with the killing of w. B. Toney.
Sampson Booth and Benjamin Booth, who
were also charged with the killing Of Toney,
were not in condition to be removed. Benz.
Booth is still lying very low with little if any
chance for his recovery. The rest of the
wounded are nearly recovered.
The whole affair will undergo judicial in
vestigation at the October term of the Court
of Sessions. Able counsel have been retain
ed on both sides.
Synod of the A. r. Church.
-- The Associate Reformed Presbyterian
Synod of the South met in annual session at
New Lebanon, Monroe Co., Va, on the 10Th
instant, and was opened with sermon by
Rev. w. L. Pressly, of Due West, S. c.
Rev. w. S. Mofet, of Ohio was elected
moderator, and Rev. j. L. Hemphil, assistant
clerk.
Few. j. E. Pressly, D. D., preached the
missionary sermon.
The report of the delegate from this synod
to the United Presbyterian Assembly was
heard with much satisfaction. Owing to some
unknown cause the delegate of the United
Presbyterian Assembly was not present at
this meeting.
1t was resolved to originate new mission
in Mexico, and Rev. Neill E. Pressly, son Of
Rev DR.. John E. Pressy, of Iredell, offered
himself for the foreign mission work.
Rev. w. T. Waller, of Alabama, was as
signed to the pastorate of the Associate Re-
formed Presbyterian church in Charlotte,

appointed delegate to the United Presby-
terian Assembly, with Rev. j. A. Myers, Of
Ohio, as alternate.

Gen. Gary's Nonsense.
-- Our Blacks Station correspondent, who
heard Gen. Gary's speech at Greenville, makes
allusion to the fippant manner in which the
General spoke of the negro, asserting also
that in Edge6eld the negroes were not asked
to join Democratic clubs, but were made to
vote as the Democrats wished at the election.
Such enunciations by men claiming 10 be the
exponents of South Carolina Democracy un-
der Hampton rule, deserve to meet the con-
dennation of the entire people; and it is
with pleasure we note that the Democracy of
Greenville repudiate such sentiments. Re-
viewing Gen. Gary's Greenville speech, Gen.
J. Walter Gray, in letter to the Greenville
News, says:
"We respectfully submit to the verdict of
those present if Gen. Gary's address did not
