examination and full trial in the Circuit
Court. The mother of the little girl was
committed to the Lunatic Asylum in conse.
quence of the distress of mind occasioned by
the occurrence.
Mr.. Jno. G. Clark, who was appointed
to the position of superintendent of the Char
lotte, Columbia & Augusta Railroad several
months ago, has resigned his position, the
resignation having taken place April LIST.
Mr.. Clark is professional bridge builder,
and it is understood that he has been led to
take this step because he finds bridge build
ing more profitable and pleasant occupa-
ton.
The Beaufort Neps, the only Republican
paper in the State, says: ave are satisfied,
from the best sources, that no State ticket will
be put in the field by the Republicans, and if
the nominee of the Democratic party is one
against whom Republicans have no bitter re-
membranes and in whose courage and truth
tulness they can rely, every effort will be made
by the leaders to bring out full vote Of the
colored people. We are told that in some
counties county ticket will be run, and in
all one for the Electors for President"
- Attorney General Youmans has served
upon the parties interested in the sale Of the
Greenville and Columbia Railroad, notice of
motion which he has made before Judge
Kershaw, to increase the minimum bid fixed
upon in the approaching sale Of the road, from
one milliY to two million three hundred
thousand dollars. A day has not yet been
fixed for the hearing Of argument on the mo-
ton. If the order is granted, it will protect
the interest of the State in its guarantee of
the bonds of the road, that being the figure
for which the State is liable. 1t is not deem
ed probable that the sale will be postponed.
- In regard to the recent meeting of the
County Republican convention at Walhalla,
the Courier says: "The tone of the meeting
showed disposition to organize the party
anew and press for success at the coming elec-
ton. This is Presidential year, and ofcourse
every effort will Le made to carry the State
for the Republican candidate. To accomplish
this the party may put in the field full State
ticket as we'll as county tickets, as such a
course would add strength to the party. Be-
sides, the greatest effort will be made to carry
few close Southern States and eminent
speakers, may, with this view, canvass this
State. 1t may be that many of the leading
lights of the party have left the State still
enough are left to give us close race, unless
we exert ourselves"

"A Columbia correspondent Of the Charles.
ton Ners and Courier, says: "The Repub'
lcan State Convention to nominate delegates
to the National Convention, will meet here
in four weeks. From interviews with the
leaders of the party and officers of the execu-
tive committee it seems that there are dis
sensions in the council The Presidential
question has been discussed in the executive
committee Elliott, the chairman, says he
knows nothing of what the convention will
do and has no preference, but one of the COM
mittee assures me that Grant is the first choice
and Blaine second, and that the sentiment
of South Carolina Republicans is that Sher-
man has no following in the State at all,
Notwithstanding his efforts made to capture
the State by official means. From the same
sources learn that it is the purpose of the
Republicans to nominate full State ticket
from Governor down through all the minor
offices and make straightout fight. They
say that the State is Republican and can be
carried for the Republican nominees for
President and Governor if Chamberlain's and
Eliott's influence can be removed. The Re-
publican State Convention will be called in
July, after it is seen what the Democrats will
do in June"
