The Kentucky jury which tried Buford
for the murder of Judge Elliott con-
cluded its labors last week by bringing
in verdict of guilty of murder, and
fixing the punishment at imprisonment
for life. The circumstances of this case
were as heinous as can be imagined, for
it will be remembered that Buford de-
liberately murdered the Chief Justice Of
the State because he rendered q judg-
ment against him. In consequences Of
this, the verdict of the jury in not i'm
posing the death penaltyis is to be regret
ted, for it does not sufficiently punish the
murderer for his crime, to make his case
strong warning to all other felons who
may be tempted to wreak vengeance
upon some conscientious Judge who may
be in duty bound to decide some question
of law against them. It is said that
Buford will kill himself rather than un-
dergo the punishment which is degra-
ding; and if this be true, he will be
more exact in the justice of the penalty
he will place upon himself than the
Jury which tried him has been.

FATAL Acc1DENr.-On Saturday, at
about quarter past u o'clock p. M, COL
ored woman, q servant in the residence
of Mr.. T. o. Lowndes, II Legare street,
was attracted to q room in the third story
by a sound which she describes as re-
sembling that of a heavy fall. Upon
entering the apartment she found Mr..
Martin L. Wilkins, a nephew of Mr..
Lowndes, who resided with him, stretched
on the floor, with q Colts navy revolver
by his side. Assistance was Immediately
summoned and obtained, but it was una
vailing, Mr.. wilkins having evidently
died almost instantaneously. A gun-shot
wound was found on his left side near
the region of the heart the ball having
ranged upwards, touching the lung: The
fatal shot had evidently been fred from
the pistol near him, one chamber of
which was found to have been discharged.
Trial Justice Burnet held an inquest dur
ing the afternoon, the jury bringing in a
verdict of death from the accidental dis.
charge of pistol in the hands of the
deceased. Mr.. Wilkins was very young
man, just entering upon life, and had a
large circle of warm friends, by whom
his untimely death will be sincerely
mourned. His father and mother are
absent, but have been notified of the sad
cyent.-Ne,Us and Courier.

A SUMTER MURDERER CAPTURED
A letter from Hendersonville, to the Co.
lumbia Register, says that Rodgers, who
shot and killed McCutchen in Sumter
some time ago, was arrested in Brevard,
Pennsylvania County, N. c., on the 24th
instant. Rodgers assumed the name OF
Stokes, and had completely covered his
proper name, but long season of success
iessened his vigilance, and letter writ
ten him by relation in Sumter, advising
a change Of base, fell into the hands OF
some companions, who proposed to read
it and "see what bis sweetheart had to
say" These gentlemen were startled at
the contents, and at once acquainted the
proper officer, who, upon interrogating
the prisoner and satisfying himself that
there was something wrong, made the
arrest. Mr.. Rodgers confessed every
thing, and expressed perfect willing
ness to return and stand his trial. He
is now in Jail at Brevard.

Whatever other charges may be raked
up against Secretary Sherman in the
coming Presidential canvass, one re-
deeming quality at least must be con-
ceded, which is that he is always CRATE
full to his friends. As. convincing
proof of this, a correspondent of the
Washington Post, writing over the sigma
ture of "a Republican" says that Agnes
jerks, the champion Radical female
witness who beguiled the monotony of
the Potter Committee with many ingeni-
GUS falsehoodsy now 'holds a sinecure
position in the Treasury department
building which hspays sl,sOO a, year, and
that she can be seen Haunting up and
down the corridors of the Treasury de-
partment on any day." 1t will be re-.
membered she was one of Mr.. Sherman's'
friends when he was in New Orleans
helping to have the vote of that State
tcounted for Hayes. 1t is kind of him to
remunerate her so handsomely now-but,
then, what does the country think about

tice2 The bond question has been held
up as a formidable factor, the up-country
and low-country wrangle has been hint
ed at, and now the Beaufort Crescent
proposes to make the appointment of
Mr.. Roche one of the subjects, and de-
clares war to the hilt against the Cover
nor, because it says he has arrayed him
self against the anti-monopolists. Did
it ever occur to the papers which are
looking for all these outside matters of
opinion from which to make Chief
Justice, that the Legislature might de-
eide to pass them over, and without
attempting to regulate them simply end
the whole question by electing some per-
SON because he is "clever and capable

Ex-Congressman Haralson, of Ala
bama, himself negro, furnishes some
interesting evidence about the negro exo-
dus. He says that the movement is
going to set in this fall with sweep that
nobody now dreams Of From his own
district, he thinks as many as fifteen
thousand will go, which would be at the
rate of hundred thousand for the whole
State. He reports the darkies simply in
fatuated with the idea, and says it is as
useless 10 argue with them about it as to
debate with the east wind. Mr.. Haral-
son proposes not to be much of an exor-
dus man himself, but if his race are bound
to emigrate, he opposes any more of them
going to Kansas, and favors their scatter
ing through the southern parts of Hi
nois, Indiana, and Ohio.

The Medium thus criticises Governor
Simpson for appointing Mr.. Roche Phos-
phate Agent:
Governor Simpson should be more
careful in his appointments. He can
argue case in court, and he can make a
good speech on the stump, and he can run
the State government with far less news
paper putting than his illustrious prede-
cessor, but he can't make appointments.
If he would only free himself from the
unwise counsels of those who have
crowded around him and do what the
people tell him, he would make much
better Governor and do more to merit the
gratitude of his countrymen.
Z, Governor Simpson has no doubt been
very remiss. The sooner he corrects his
oversight and secures the wise and pru-
dent advice of the Medium, and acts upon
it, the better it will be for his success in
life, and his reputation after death. The
Governor ought to have known this from
the beginning, but if he goes on much
longer appointing "clever and capable
gentlemen" to Office, without the consent
of the Medium, he will ruin himself.

Both were cut in the neck with an axe,

Different theories are expressed. The

A deputy sheriff of Union passed
through Greenville yesterday morning

negro boy about 16 years old, who had
outraged little two-year-old daughter
of respectable gentleman in that coun-
ty. The deputy was fleeing with the
green-eyed monster to save him from the
wrath of an enraged community, and
from what We can gather, he made a
narrow escape if he reached Columbia
in safety. The villains tender victim is

most diabolical outrages that was ever
perpetrated in this country. The circum-
stances are these:
Mr.. A. B. Humphries and his wife,
living four miles from town, near Sardis
Church, on Wednesday evening left their
infant daughter, aged about 2 years and
months, in the care of negro boy,
named Ed. Holmes, aged about l6 years,
while they went to church. On their re-
turn the mother discovered that the child
was very bloody and her screams brought
neighbors to the house. DIR. Beatty was
Immediately sent for, and upon examina-
ton discovered that the little creature
had been outraged in a most horrible
manner. AS the parents went into the
house the negro boy passed them, going
out, and at last report was at large; but
we think he cannot long escape the
vigilant search of the excited citizens
who are after him. 1t is supposed to be
impossible for the child to live. The
simple recital of this most revolving out
rage makes the blood curdle in our veins.
