HOMICIDE IN BARNwELL.-Wer regret
to say that homicide occurred in the
county on Wednesday, the 25th, on the
plantation of Mr.. 0. ID. II. Wilson, near
Beldoc. The deceased was Titus Eav, a.
colored man. who was killed hy Mr.. Will
son. The facts of the case. as we have
gathered them from reliae,e source, are
as follows: Titus Hay worked on Mr..
Wilson's place; Mr.. Wilson had bad
dogs, kept for the protection of his place
and property; these dogs seemed to be q
soirIs If constant annoyance to Titus
Hay. and the day before the homicide he
had attempted to kill one of the dogs.
Before this, Hay had carried pistol, and
being asked why he did so, said he in
tended to kill Wilson's dogs and him al
so if he resented it, On the next ;:sy,
after attempting to kill the dog, MIR.
Wilson met Hay in the field and asked
him about trying TO kill his dog. Titus
flew into q passion and said he would kill
his'dogs IL they interferred with him. Mr..
Wilson told him to leave his plantation,
and Hay replied that re would not unless
he was paid. Mr.. Wilson agreed to pay
him, but the negro said he would not
leave his house until January. Mr..
Wilson told him he would pay him and
that he must leave his place, when Titus
flew at him with pistol in one hand and
q hoe in the other, cursipg and swearing,
and Mr. Wilson shot Shim.-B Bdtn,ceW

Murders nre becoming entirely too
common in Eonth Carolina. Scarcely
week transpires without several of these
atrocious crimes in our little common
wealth, and humanity, rs we'll as the
peace and order of society, demands that
stop should be put to this shooting or
killing men. We need a number of
hangings distributed over the different
parts of the State to convince people
that it is wrong to kill their fellow.mcn,
and especially to show them if they do
so that Sheriff will in due season break
their guilty nccks for the crime. There
is no palliation for it, because it is very
grave ofiense, and very dangerous TO
peace and order The good citizens Of
the State who value the reputation of
our government, who desire peace and
order, and who love justice, should COM
| bine to produce such Il sentiment through.
out the State as will secure the convic-
ton and execution Of every murderer.
The scntimcntalily which frequently Sc
cures for them immunity because Il jury
is sorry for the family or pitics man,
should be dispcl!cd, and they should be
taught that when they so far transgrcss
the law Of God and the law Of men as to
Kill fcllow-man, the gallows is their
certain doom. 1t is time for the Press of
the State to sneak out aud use It's power
ful influence to stop the flow of human
blood and loss of life, which occurs en-
tirely too often for our good name or for
the welfare Of our citizens.

Before adjournina the United States
Sanate did itself the justice to reject the
nomination of the notorious Corbin to
be chief Justice. of Utah. Thus while
saving the people of Uta.. from !. most
villainous imposition, they have at the
same time given Mr. Hayes direct slap
in the face for his shameless violation by
this nomination of those principles of
civil earvice reform about which he so
profusely cante1 some two yeam ago.
Mr.. Corbin Is now st liberty to return to
South Carolina to p.actice law if he de-
sires, but if he dos, go 1t would be we'll
for him 20 take o course of study as to

Texas sentiment seems 70 be up to the
proper standard on the question of pun.
ishing men for murder An Indignation
meeting in one County has denounced,
and u Grand Jury in another has pre-
sented Governor Roberts of that State
as unfit for tho position Of Chief Magis-
tratc, and for countennncing crime by
his acts. The ground of this criticism
is that the Governor has pardoned two
men convicted of murder. If jures
would do their duties everywhere, and
grand juries would keep the Governor
straight, there would be numerous hang
ings for short time, and after that
there would be very few murders. The
Texas grand jury has branched Off in
the right direction.

Dear Sirs-The 60-Saw Pratt Gin bought
from you in the fall of 1877 has been thor
oughly tested since that time, and has given
entire satisfaction. 1 have no hesitation in
pronouncing the sample made by it to be
superior to that made by any Gin known 20
me. l fave ginned as much as $50 bales of
cotton-have had no repairing to do, and
the Gin is now III perfect order. It's great
improvement consists in its Revolving
Head. which prevents cotton roll from
breaking, and which completely destroys
the friction produced by cotton box, there
by increasing its speed, preventing injury
to saws, and the sample from being gin-cut.

General Ewing is preparing for Wig
orous canvass in Ohio. The first speech
Of the campaign was made a few nights
ago at Columbus, in which he clearly de-
fined the Issues of the coming contest,
and laid down his line of fight. The
main differences are upon the subject of
finance and national Capitalization. Up
on finance he advocates the unlimited
coinage Of silver, the abolition Of nation
al banks, and the substitution of green
backs for their circulation. On the
questioa of Capitalization he defined his
position in the following words: 'T
speak in no spirit of partisanship, but in
the candor of conviction, when say that
the obliteration Of the peseryed rights of
the States and people, and absorption in
the general government of all, regardless
Of the constitution, has become the con-
trolling tendency, if not the final aim, of
tho Republican party. These policies of
the Republican party, by which they are
impoyerishing the masses and absorbing
unlimited power In the general govern
mept, are only steps towards the ultimate
snhvaTsiop oS our popular liberty and the
establish shment Of slle rule of money aris-
tocFacy.n On these Issues it is believed
ne Democracy will achieve a brilliant
aAd satisfactory victory, through which
thc Hoosier State win In lafge fneas-
llfe sha ape Tie course Of events for 1880.

Speaking of the Democratic prospects
as affected by the extra session of Con-
gress, Senator Thurman recently said {:
II am of the impression, although /
may be self.dcceiving, that one of the
pleasantest things that shall recollcct
in after life as occurring in my public SER
vice will be the fact of this extra session.
l think this extra session has donc no
small service for American liberty. That
is my opinion about it."

POISONED BY CANNED VEGETA ',LEs.
: -Four OF the crew of the fishing sloop
Laconic, commanded by Captain Frank
lii. ~. Smith, while ut Coney Island, after
eating heartily of canned beans and corn,
cooked together, on the 26th ultimo, were
suddenly seized with violent cramps and
severe vomiting, which rendered them
completely unfit for duty. Captain Smith
without delay procured the services of n
doctor ct the island, who after hearing
tie statements of the men, pronounced it
q case of poisoning from eating canned
corn and beans. He immediately pre-
scribed the proper remedies, and advised
that II the men grew no better they should
be removed to their homes. On the Sec
ond day after the corn was eaten another
OF the crew was attacked in a similar
manner, and Captain Smith, not being
able to take the sick men to their homes
on his own vessel, chartered the small
sioop n. =. Sinclair, and after having the
men placed carefully in the cabin, and
providing them with mattresses and pil-
lows, brought them to Brookhayen, a viii
lage little south of Yophank, Long IS
land, being about twenty miles east of
Fire Island, where they reside. Immedi-
ately on arriving DR.. Baker, prominent
physician of this place, was called in, and
pronounced the condition of two of the
crew extremely critical.
In an interview with your correspond.
ent this afternoon the Captain stated that
he started with his vessel from Yaphank
last Monday, stopping first at Sayville,
l.. L., to purchase his stores, which were
obtained from Mr.. Perry, one of the own
ers. Among the stores were three cans
of corn. He also said that he had been
inlthe habit Of purchasing his stores there
weekly; that he had frequently bought
canned articles and never heard any COM
plant in regard to their being poisonous,
nor has any Of his men ever been attack
ed before. The doctor to-day gays the
condition of the two men remains un-
changed and their chances of recovery
are doubtful.
The affair is the common talk among
fishermen rs well as among others in the
vicinity of Brookhaven, and is creating
great excitement among persons who are
accustomed to using canned articles

Gals cannot mako much headwny in

The New York papers, from time TO
time, lecture the South upon It's lawless-
ness and lack of tee high standard Of
morality which they affect 10 possess, and
yet the example Of that metropolis is
not, 70 say the least of it, calculated to
show their alleged crring brothere of the
South any more commerdable habits Of
life than those which we now possess.
Murders, robberies and outragcs ere
constantly reported, and even on the
GLORIOUS fourth of July" tho people of
that law-abiding and patriotic city could
not be satisfied with the ancient manner
of celebrating the national birth day, so
that in four separate cases murders were
committed. and serious brawls we're in
dulged in. According to our opinion, if
the New York papers which make bus
iness of lecturing the South would lay
aside their Satanic Puritanism and look
IN their own midst at the crime, and
shame, and distress which prevails, they
would find an abundance of channels ut
at home for the consumption of all their
advice, and lectures, and disquisitions
generally. 1t may be, however, that
such advanced thinkers as the IferuM,
Tribune and Times realize the full force
of the situation, aud know that the ca
rcer of crime Is 80 firmly fixed III the
hearts of the roughs Of their own sec
ton that they have no hope of saving
them, and hence engage in their gcncr-
GUS missionary work Of remodcIling the
Southern people, in whose regeneration
they have more confidence. Unless they
are actuated by some such reasoning rs
this, we must be INDUCED in expressing
the opinion that the Northern editors
who arc continually bcrating the South
for its shortcomings, while they see
nothing but that which is commcndablc
in themselves, are consummatc set Of
hypocrites. Tho truth, however, is that
few hangings would improve socicty
both at the North and TT The South.

The Constitution of New York fixes
the term of the different officers of that
State, 90 that an election for all of them
comes in the same year only in every
sixth year. The campaign which comes
Off there this year will be unusually in
teresting, as al of these officers are to
be elected this time, and upon the resul,
will almost certainly depend the electora
vote of the State in 1880. Either party
that can now carry the State and get
control Of all of its offices will be more
than likely to succeed in carrying it for
The presidency next year. Spcculations
as to the nominations are therefore being
made as to who will be the respective
candidates for the gubernatorial chair,
and some very wild guessing is being
made. Some time ago Washington
correspondent predicted that Tilden
wonld he the Democrats candidate, and
Conkling the Republican, and that
whichever one of them was elected
would be the next President This is
scarcely correct, though it is by no means
impossible. There can be no doubt thas
each party will nominate the strongest
man it can produce, for the election will
be ono Of immense Importance, not only
20 the State of New York, but also to
the political parties of the United States.
On the Democratic side Governor Rob-
inson seems to be the most prominent
candidate, and his selection would give
the Democracy its strongest chance of
success. He is in favor of making the
fight on the question of Federal inter-
ence at the polls, and would unite the
different wings of the party as complete
" as any man in the State.
