BOSTON celebrated on the 18th, with
great show and many festivities, the two
hundred and fftieth anniversary of its set
Element. All public and many private build
fngs were handsomely decorated and nearly
all business was suspended. The pro-
cession was over five miles long and
occupied three and half hours in pass
ing a given point. The trades display
was probably the finest ever witnessed
in America. 1t was estimated that
at least 1OO, 600 visitors were present, among
the guests of honor being several Cabinet
officers, Governors, and other officials. The
exercises consisted of an GRAFTON by Mayor

COMMITTEES of the two Democratic
factions in Virginia met on the 18th to agree
upon some plan for the formation Of Q
mixed Electoral ticket. The Readjusters
proposed that special primary election be
held throughout the State on the
10th Of October, the ticket receiving the
minority of votes to be Withdrawn in favor
of the other. The Conservatives agreed to
this plan, with the modification that only
qualified voters should be permitted
to vote at the primaries. This proviso the
Readtusters refused to accept, but insisted
that all registered voters, whether they had
paid capitation tax or not, should be allowed
to vote, after pledging themselves to support
Hancock and English. This amendment the
Conservatives refused to accept, and the ne
g,fiations thereupon ended.

Worthington out for Hancock.

The New York Star of tho 24th instant,
speaking of matters ut tho headquarters
of the Democratic National Executive Com
mittcc, says:
Among tho callers last evening was
Colonel Henry G.. Worthiugton, lately
Collector Of tho Port of Charleston, South
Carolina, who was Representative from
Nevada in tho Thirty eighth and Thirty
niuth Congresses, and subsequently o
United States Judge. Colonel Worthington
declared his intention Of supporting Han
cock for the Presidency, and said that
no proposed to do this witho,e scvcring his
connection With the Republican party upon
other questions than that involved in the
approaching Presidential election.
II boIiovo," said Colonel Worthingtcn,
"that and large number Of other Re-
publicaps resident in the South can dis
charge our duty to our country, aud our
party also, better by accepting tho de-
claration of General llancoch's letter Of
ucccptoucc than by supporting Mr.. Garfield.
We feel Certain that General Hancock will
secure us in our elections, Us ho has prom
scd fair vote aud honest count, and that
his succcsa will tend to break up race di-
visions aud ring denominations of all kind,
and give Tho South as well as tho rest of
the country an opportunity TO prosper and
settle local questions fairly at our local cleo
tons, fico from both sectional prejudice
aud corruption. Wercgard Gen. Hancock 8
candidacy rather ns patriotic than 4
partisan ono, aud believe that he would give
| us an administration free from those evil
influences which havo caused such disas :
| trous results ID the South. 1'hv numbor Of
Southern Republicans who entertain these
views is larger than you would suppose.
They SEQ their best, and, might say, only
chance for future in an entire oblitcration
of all hostile feelings between tho North
and South which must follow Hancock 8
election. So long as one Of the great par
tics Of the country makes hostility to tho
South it's issue there is but Que little chauco
for Northern men in Southern States, con-
scqucntly and my friends intend to sup
port Hancock without coasing to bo Rcpub-

desirable reform in the civil service which
naturally comes from having IL pure, robust,

should have what is attaiuable Of civil
service reform, in substance, in place of so
much sentimental twaddle, without pcrfor-

His strength consists mainly in tho adroit

baaoly betrayed lis coniiding friend in the
Chicago Convention. If elected ho would

The Terrible Murder at Johnston
A FEARFUL. WARNING TO WnIsKEY
DRINKERS AND WnIsKEY SELLERS.

by this time most of our readers hayo
already heard tho particulars of the terrible
murder which occurred at Johnston on
Thursday last. Indeed the facts arc SO
few and bald that they can bc narrated in
ten lines. Mr.. Julian AloLlcy passed a
negro carpenter named Joe NIcGownp, Sit
tington the steps of shop, with his head
down, resting from his days Iabors. 10
srucH tie negro, who ruised his head,
and looked around and complained, where
upon his assaiunt drew II knife and stabbed
him to Tic heart. He died in a very short
timc, and Mr. NIobley mado good his escape,
aad is still at large.
This is cmphatically ono of tho most
horrible and attrocious deeds that has ever
disgraccd humanity or civilization. And
although we shall be accused Of trying
to manufacture sympathy for the. most
brutal Of murdercrs-stil NC must say
TINT it is astounding and inoxplicablc
as it is attrocious. Indeed it is hopeless
ly nexplicabic, except upon the ground
that whiskcy was at the bottom of it.
Julian Mobley is young, handsome, polished,
well born, wcll.brcad, and when free Of
liquor, kind.heartcd and genial. Perhaps
under tho circumstances wo should not say
all this, but we confess very openly that we
are strongly inclined to attribntc this in(a.
nous and unpardonable deed to whixkcy
drinking and whiskcy selling. Nor is it
the first tiuc by many that we bavo scon
tho human soul totally warped ont of its
original goodness and mercy by whisLcy.
The verdict of tho Coroncr's jury very
justly siigma,iscd this foul orimo as GWlru!
