The woman's suffrage movement is
certainly obtaining foothold at least.
Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Minnesota,
Michigan and New Hampshire, allow
women to vote in all matters relating to
education, and to hold school offices.
A similar proposition was defeated by
only two votes in Massachusetts, and
hence the agitators have reason to be
hopeful. The fact is, that the step to
general rights of suffrage is not long
one, for if women are qualified to vote
on matters of education, and if It is
proper that they should do so, then we
can see no reason why they should not
also vote in reference to any other matter
of public business.

Murder of lIr. Mccoy mt PaImcr,s
Bridge.

MCCLELLANvILI.E, April ..
This usually quiet and w-abiding
parish was horrificd and shocked this
morning by a most atrocous murder.
Mr. Z. u. Mccoy was repairing the Pal
mer bridges on Tuesday, had number
of hands employed, dismissed that even
ing about sundown, and started with
them to the house of q friend where he
was staying, but just then a neighbor
drove up in his buggy. He turned. rode
back short distance with him, and on
his return across the bridge the fatal shot
was fired. Our Trial Justice, Mr.. j. IL.
Leland. being summoned, repaired to the
spo: on Wednesday and found Mr..
Mccoy just as he had fallen from his
horse the evening before. lie was rid
died with buckshot from his neck to his
abdomen, two shot taking effect in the
heart. The shot was fired Just Mt a bend
OF the road where the murderer could
command both approaches.
MIR. Leland empanellcd a iury. and
they rendered verdict in accordance
with the above mentioned facts. The
assassin LETT no clue at all that NAV lead
to his capture. Only his tracks behind
the pine and bush broken to give his
S.oO" AOO'f n thC SDOt WUCTc the
black deed was committed. 1t was evil
IDENTIFY done for robbery, as Mr.. Mccoy
generally carried some money with him,
and there was not cent found on his
person; even his pocket knife and chew
ing tobacco were taken.
The murderer is evidently an old hand
at the business, as he only had about ten
minutes between the departure of the
hands and Mr.. McCoy's leaving to run
up, to the pine from the adjoining swamp.
Mr. Mccoy was quite wealthy man !;
the number of his cattle running up into
the thousands, and he is represented rs
paying taxes on sixty thousand acres of
land. He was from the adjoining parish,
st. Stephens.
What is wanted now is good detec-
tive to work up this matter / hear that
his sons are going to offer large reward
for the capture of the murderer, and n
good many of the citizens will also CON
tribute Correspondence Ne,cs and C5u-
rier.

AN OLD DEED.-We saw Monday M
old land grant from Governor Wm.
Moultrie to VIM. Burton, made in 1886
The land granted is 200 acres in "Nne-
ty-Six District" That district at that
cine included Laurens, Abbcville, New
House at Old Cambridge. The land in
question lies in what is now Newberry
County, on Beavcrdam Creek. The seal
to the deed is curiosity: it is made of
wax is six inches in diameter and half
an inch thick, and is tied to the deed
with linen cord. On one side of the
seal Is palmetto tree, and on the other is
an individual. somewhat blurred and dis
figured, which has the appearance of
the Goddess of Liberty with an olive
branch in her hand. The deed was
found among Major Fed Boozer's papers,
and is now in possession of Sheriff
Wheeler. Ne,cberry Herald.

The April term of the United States
Circuit Court for South Carolina began
in Charleston on last Tuesday with
Judges Bond and Bryan presiding. 1t
was expected to have had Chief Justice
Waite present at this term, hut from
some unassigned CAUSE his arrival has
been deferred to the 18th day of May.
In the meantime the political cases will
be taken up and disposed of. The prose
cutions will be bitter and relentless and
every possible means resorted to to pro-
cure convictions. Nine counties in this
State furnish the territory which has
been selected to afford cases for the out
rage mill. They are Barnwell, Williams
burg, Georgetown, Sumter, Orangeburg,
Richland, Charleston, Aiken and Hamp.
ton. There arc about thirty i've cases
and at least one hundred and fifty de.
PENDANTS. The course of the government
is very outrageous in these cases. The
juries have been packed, witnesses whose
characters are infamous will constitute
the bulk of the testimony, while the
balance ill be entirely partisan and un-
/ worthy of belief; and, in addition to these
things, the cases are to be prosecuted by
the vindictive and malignant +. w. If.
Mackey as Assistant District Attorney,
whose political disappointments will in
duce him to prosecute without Judgment
or reason. Thus the whole of the matter
is, that in order TO crafty MaCkey's re-
venge end TO give political capital TO the
Radicals. the government will be run to
immense expense and scores of innocent
mon put 20 great inconvenience and ex-
pense. The jurics will be of such unfair

The army bill with its riders, as the

troops and United States Marshals at the

this question ten Greenbackers voted

Hon. Montgomery Blair says that
Hon. Thos. a. Hendricks favors Demo-
cratic ticket for 1880 to read just AZ that
of 1876 did. If this he correct, it must
be admitted that a great many persons
arc in favor Of the same proposition, as
Gov. Tildcn is evidently gaining strength
before the country. We prefer Mr.. Bay
ard because he is a younger rlan, Of
broader views Of our system of govern
mcnt, and with record which by its
spotless purity would be n tower of
of strength TO the party, as well as n
gratifying assurance to the country that
the Dem, cracy intends to put forward for
public Office its best and purest men, If,
however, Mr.. Tilden should rcvcivc the
nomination, there is no doubt that, hav-
ing been cheated before, he would start
with sympathy and admission on the
part of the masses that he has been
wronged which might ripcn into very
great enthusiasm. The Democratic par
ty, prudent, can elect either Bayard,
Tilden, Thurman, Hancock or Hen
bricks in 1880, and the triumph of either
OF these statesmen would be gratifying to
the masses Of the citizens of our country.

The Legislature Of New Hampshire
failed to elect United States Senator
from that State to begin the term March
the 4tl Of the present year, under the
expectation Of clccting before the fall
session of Congress. The extra session
has therefore found this State minus one
Senator, which deficiency the Governor
has cndeavorcd to remedy by appointing
Hon. Charles ii. Bell, but the Senate is
now considering the question of admit
ting him, in view Of the fact that the
Governor is only authorized to fill vncan
cies which happen in the recess Of the
Legislature, and where there has never
been an incumbent there can be no han.
pcning of vacancy, for it must have
been forcsccn. The committee of the
Senate has reported against his admis.
sion, but the Republicans are fighting
hard to secure it. The report of the
committee is sustained by prcccdcnts go.
ing back TO 1923, and beginning with a
case from Connecticut, where the Coy
crnor appointed Mr.. Launan to succeed
himself, and fill vacancy occasioncd by
a failure to elect by the Legislature, in
which, case the Senate fixed the precc-
dent by refusing to seat Mr.. Launan, the
vote sanding 10 for and % against seat
ing Mr.. Bell will no doubt fare the
same fate, and Legislatures will probably
be more particular hereafter to elect Sen
ators ut least short time before the term
of the Congress OF which they are to be
begins.

The Cimcim,ini Gn-eHc says: "Maior
Buford's friends, if they ever entertained
fears that his cowardly crime would be
punished be death. will be rcassurcd by
the news that comes from Richmond, Nv.
The trials of four mur,!crcrs ut that place
have just been concluded. Their crimes
were in almost every case of peculiar
ntrocity. What is the result? Two ac-
quittals, one hung jury, and one convic-
ton, without the death penalty attached
The hanging Of white murdcrcrs in Ken
tucky, of the dominant persuasion Of pol
itics, is played out" Unfortunately
murdercrs do escape too easily all over
the country, but Kentucky has not Il
monopoly Of this evil. If the Ga-cNe
tells the truth, her ncighbor Ohio is
equally cursed with the escape of muir
dcrcrs from the deserts of their crimes.
The assertion ofthc Gn-citc that politics
influences these decisions is entirely un-
sustainablc, and our contemporary is
manitesting its usual disregard for facts
in making such sweeping assertions.
From the reported cases, it appears that
fewer persons are hung for crime in
Ohio than in Kentucky, and Yet it would
be unjust 70 accuse the Buckeye State Of
any moral arrangement in its courts of
Justice. The only difference between
Kentucky and Onio is, that criminals
are occasionally punished in the former
State; but in Ohio, as soon rs man is
shown to be firstclass criminal, some
lucrative federal position is Immediately
rendered him.

"A German doctor, after years Of profound

cided benefit being gained from getting up
early, it rather tends to exhaust physical en-
crgy and shorten life. So far from the early

no BONDS WANTED.
Four to Five Hundred Majority Against
the Measure.

The vote on the bond proposition
Tuesday WAS generally light throughout
the county, except IN two or three towns,
which rolled up nearly their usual vote,
and against the bonds. The city Of Aus
tin did not poll much more than half a
vote, but every vote cast was in favor of
the bonds. Below we give the vote Of
the most of the towns, which shows
416 majority against bonds. The towns
to hear from will probably increase the
majority TO 500 or over. The opposition
on the west side Of the county was not
because the people were opposed to the
building Of court house, but because
they were opposed to the issuing Of bonds
for that purpose. They want 1t built by
direct taxation. Here is the record:
