The Suicide or o Thief.

AN adjourned inquest of the coroner's
JUICY was held in the Court House last week,
over the body of ono Brown, colored man, ,
who was drowned on the ODD ult.
1t appears that the celored man YVES
charged with stealing $50 from a passenger
coming down the Waccamaw; and, the
money being found in his possession, he
wns tied to the stanchicn by Capt. Fulton,
who intended to turn him over to the au-
thorities on reaching town. Brown man
aged to get Loose twice while the boat was
in motion; the first time he was caught just
after reaching the shore, but the second
time, before assistance could reach him, he
was drowned, his hands being tied. A jury
of inquest viewed the body, and adjourned
without final action.
At the tiIns Brown jur ped overheard the
Hampton" bad the steamer MARY Ellen"
in tow at the side, with not more than two
feet space between tho two boats. The en-
gineer and all the witnesses testified as to
the likelihood of the wheel striking him
and 5ruising him. But the colored Jury
think differently, and expect to hold the
Captain responsible.
When We went into the Court House on
Thursday we saw fourteen colored men
ranged on the bench, looking as solemn as
Harvey Jones ever did in his palmiest days.
The inquest was O complete farce; the jury
were prejudiced, and seemed to think that
SapC. fulVOn nau murdered uecetSeu. In6
jury had to be called to order several times
by the coroner, at the suggestion Of law
yer, w.,o was q witness to the proceedings.
Every witness detailed the above story, ex-
sctly as related by Us; yet the jury agreed
on verdict of murder, (which would have
consigned Capt. Fulton to q cell without
the benefit of bail y and was only prevented
from rendering their verdict by some one
proposing q post mortem examination of
the deceased, which was agreed to, and the
jury adjourned.
Since writing the above we learn from the
coroner that the jury of inquest have rem
dered verdict declaring that Brown, the
deceased, came to his death at the hands of
Capt. Fulton. Tho jury, as above stated,
was composed of q set of prejudiced and IL
literate negroes, and they seem to have
given their verdict independent entirely of
the evidence produced at tho coroner's in
quest. There was not one jot or little of
evidence to justify the crime of murder be-
ing laid to tho charge OF Capt. Fulton. be-
cause all the witnesses who were examined
were unanimous in testifying that Brown
jumped into the river and thereby drowned
himself or course, Capt Fulton will have
to yield to the inexorable decree of the law
and be put in jail TO await his trial, when it
will be shown that he hss been mada the
innocent victim of an ignorant and preju-
diced jury Georsetoivn Times.

The recent excursion to Charleston has
resulted very satisfactorily to the business
men Of that city, and will no doubt in
duce repetition of The ihducrment for
merchants from the country to visit
Charleston. If this course Is pursued,
wo think many of our business men can
be induced TO repieuish their stocks BY
visits to Charleston, where they can Sc
lect their own goods instead of buying
from drummers from other cities. If the
old fogy ideas Of few men who have
controlled business there can be gotten
rid of and the merchants will realize to
the full extent, as they arc beginning TO
do, that they must court trade instead of
trying to drive it to their city, We have
no doubt that Charleston will yet achieve
an enviable commercial activity. Speak
lug Of what has been done by the late
excursion the NetSs and Courier says:
1t Is generally conceded by tho NOR
chants that the excursion from the up.
country has tended to open the fall trade
III u manner which promises brisk busi
ness during tlie balance of tho season.
Meeting, Hnyne and East Bay streets,
which week ago Bave little or no evil
dence OF activity, havo sprung into life
so suddenly es almost TO take away the
breath from tho proprIotors and employ
eos, who have heon doing little moro than
keeping themselves cool during tho sum
E1er.. Boxes and bales Of goods, ready
for shipment, iie piled up on the sids-
walks. and yesterday the buyers were
busily engaged In running up other bills.
This rush OF business will probably last
for three or four days longer, and it is
hoped thnt the purchasers will be so we'll
pleased with their reception from the
merchants that they Will not only never
go TO any ether market themselves, but
Will do much good by advertising tho
advantages of this market among their
friends Tho hote.e hnve every reason to
be pleased by the results OF the excur-
sion, and IL is roughly estimated that
from, $4,000 to S5O,o06 will be left in
Charleston.

The New York Republican State Con-
ventica met at Saratoga on the 3rd inst,
and organized by electing Roscoe Conk.
ling President. The following persons
ware nominated for State officers: For
Governor, A. B. Cornell Lieutenant
Governor, George G. Hoskins, of Yyom-
ing; Comptroller, James w. Wads-
worth, of Livingston; Secretary of State,
General Joseph B. Cav, of Rcnsslcar
State Treasurer, Nathan d. Wendell, of
Albany. The platform attacks State
rights, arraigns the South aud condemns
anything except gold rs a currency. In
other words, the platform and the per-
sons nominated on il arc the dictation of
Conkling. Nr. Cornell, tho nominee for
Governor, is the individual who was
ousted from the New York Custom
House by President Hayes, after hard
struggle with Conkling, and his nomina-
ton at this time is cut at the President
by his party in New York. Mr.. Cor
nell's father was one of the originators
of the telegraph lines, and amasscd great
wealth theretrom, which has desccnded
to bis son, whose chief distinction Is due
to the fight made over his removal last
winter. This Convention shows, first,
that Mr.. Hayes is not in sympathy with
the Republicans of Ne~ ycrk, and iiaat,
that Mr.. Conkling is strong enough to
hold his grasp on public affair, there in
spite of the Sprague scandal and the de-.
velopments IL hnn made aa tn hia unorals.
Tho nomination is considered n strong
one, because 1t will compel Mr.. Conkling
to enter actively into the canvass, and
his personal influence, it is thought, will
amount TO thousands Of votes in the
State. This result means an opposition
70 the nomination of Sherman for Presi-
dent, and q preference for Grant or
Conkling on the part of New York Re-
publicans. II forebodes no good to the
country, and shows very great sympathy
towards RIGHTEOUSNESS on the part of the
party of 'great moral ideas" in New
York. aal

The Democratic party in the United
States Is the most completely bridled in
stitution we have ever seen. The great
masses of the party prefer tho success of
their principles to any personal advan-
tage, and IL left free would pursue such n
course as to ensure victory by nominating
q candidate who would aronse the fire
of patriotism and the enthusiasm of true
manhood from Maine to Texas in his
support. Instead of this, however, the
whole question of nominations is con.
ttolled by ~, of politicians who wish
their party to succeed, but ara willing to
imperil that success for the sake of hav-
ing some candidate placed before the
people who will be subservient to their
interests or personal aims. This has been
the bane Of our party for years, ahd now
threatens US with. another defeat. Ev-
esys person admits that Senator Bayard
cau be elected PRESIDENT II nominated,
and yet there are three or four others
WHO have superior prospects, because
they are more popular with the politicians
who think they can use them for anme
selfish purpose It is time for the people
who want change of administration
more than they they ;~Rsns ~Rsns. the elevation OF
sny particular man, to take control of
the nomination and give It to q man
who can be elected and will be the
President of the whole people, anu thus
restore tho government to its former glory
and purity. There are several men In
our pnrty who can do this, bus pre-emi-
nent among them is the Delaware Sena-
tor, whose high personal character and
long pubiic lifcMithout d spot or stain
has made him, perhaps, the most widely
known and respected of any statean,.n Of.
his time. That reputation does no. pro-
coed from mere paEty.seryice nor from
any personal display; It u the result Of a
pure life, o Christian character, exalted
attachments aud well.established patriot
Ism. With hia name ct the Democratic
masthead, success win psreh upon our
banner; without it, the future before us
is dark and unknown.
