Hancock viii be likely to need every
electoral vote that the Southern
States can give him. But, even if
Indiana and Ohio should vote in
November as they have voted In
October. there are other Northern
states whichmav have as unpleasant
a surprise in store for the RepubIi-
cans as Maine gavcthcn last month.
Senator ConkIing has told us only
within the last week that the result
in Ohio and Indiana, whatever il
may be. would not be decisive of the
November contest: that New York

we are willing TO accept him as a

The result Of the elections Of Tues

writer's, hbelcrs and slauderers OF
the Southern people, but are our
enemies. They would not allow the

neither allow Us TO he their equals

Union We are still enemies. We
offered in 1872 to elect the prince Of
Unionists and Abolitionists prcsi-
dent, and his own section repudiated
him In 1876 we elected a distin-
guished New Yorker president, and
he was not permitted to take his
seat. In 1880 we propose to elect
the most accomplished officer in the
Federal army TO the highest office,
and the people Of the North band
themselves together as his and our
deadly enemies. More in sorrow
than in anger do we say these things
Deeply do we regret it that we g..

confidence in Indiana entertained

being that both states would go the

said, Is evidence enough that

Aiessrs Riorlun &c Dawson-
SIRs: want to say to you that you have
my hearty endorsement in tho position you
have taken in reference to tho Casl~Shan-
non tragedy. 1t is no reflection upon the
momory of tue gallant gentlemen of the
past who resorted to tho duello to settle
their personal differences to usk that tho
law be yindicated in this case. In former
days tho most punotillious decorum and
ohivalric courtesy distinguished the conduct
of gentlemen in "affairs Of honour" aud
coarse rhaldry and gasconade in correspon-
dcnce was as odious as the brand of COW
ardice; but now the "swash-buckler stylo"
appears to be fashionable.
Tho issue is very sharply made between
those who trample law dcGantly under
foot aud those who execute it, aud I do
hope that courage enough may be found to
execute it.
It will be sad day for South Carolina
when gentleman, who feels it to be his
personal or professional duty to vindcato
private rights in our courts, is first to DO
insulted, pursued, vilificd aud goaded to
desperation, and then shot. If tha. :. to be
plane which our civilization is to occupy, We
shall all be sleeping on our arms. And
there must DO something rudically wrong
in q public sentiment which can force
man of Shannon's high character and ac-
knowledgcd courage to fight a duel under
the circumstances which surrounded him.

wo arc, aud ascertain whether "borJer
ruffianism" is to govern this country or
whether civilized institutions shall be main.

| express no opinion on the merits Of
this difficulty for | know nothing Of it, cx-
cept what havc seen in the public prints;
but do venture the opinion that it is the
first timo in the history of duclling in South
Carolina that man has been shot Tor doing
what he had, in morals aud law, clearly
the right to do, and for doing what it was
his sworn duty to do, to wit: faithfully
representing the interests of his clients in
the courts against parties who had them
selves gone into the courts. 1t is without
q parallel either in the issue mado or the
manner of its conduct.
You arc doing your share Of public duty
in proper manner-pardon mo for saying
so--and [ believe that nine tcnths of the
respectable people Of tho State will sustain
you.
You may count on my doing so in any
way that | properly may.
Very truly yours, &C.,

Greeley's Epigrams in Wrath.

The sharpest or the drollest things came out
of his mouth with wonderful readiness and
ease. For instance, woman had been send
ing to him verses, some of which he printed
and some of which he did not She employed a
friend to call upon Mr.. Greeley and to hint to
him that pecuniary remuneration would be en-
tirely acceptable. The plainest of plain speak
ers settled the matter at nce.-tHTen her.. he
said. ''that we would be willing to pay her
something for not sending us any more!'' 1t
seems hard, but really and at bottom it was
benevolent That phrase of his, go West,
young mani" which has been so often quoted
was after all the heighth of pitiful commisera-
ton, as it was also condensation of whole
volumes'of economical wisdom. To get Mr.
Greeley at his best expression it was necessary
to make him angry Then every word was
like the blow of trained pugilist He dan
died with facts and specialized with figures no
longer. He never needed then to employ the
space in the editorial columns which was his
as matter of course if he pleased to occupy
it. One! twol three! and the luckless object
of his wrath fell, metaphorically speaking, be-
fore him. Sometimes it was only one! two!

ANOTHER TRAGEDY
A Wealthy Bachelor Murdered in
Huntington, Mass.
HIS BUILDINGS FIRED TO CONCEAL
THE CRIME

NORTHAMPTON, Mass, April 13.-This morn
ing the medical examiner was called to Hunt
ington to view the body of Perley Hutchinson,
who was found dead in his turning mill with
his throat cut. The body was lying on its
back partly covered with old bagging, and his
hat was placed on his stomach under the bag
ging. On examination it was found that the
cut in his throat did not cause death. A
further examination disclosed small fracture
at the base of the skull evidently caused by a
blow from small hammer struck from be-
hind. He had been dead for some time and
the throat evidently cut after death to give the
impression of suicide At six O'Clock this
morning the house of the deceased was burned
to the ground, and while the neighbors were at
work on the house his mill was found to be on
fire, but the flames were promptly extinguish-
ed, and it was while looking about the mill
that the body was found. Deceased was 70
years old, bachelor and wealthy. The safe
in which the deceased kept his money and
valuables was found in the ruins Of the house,
but could not be opened as the keys were mis-
sing. 1t had probably been rifled before the
house was fired. A receipt belonging to the
old man was found mile from his house.
Bank books representing $4,000 were saved
from the house. No clue whatever to the per-
petrators.
