a TRAGEDY IN HAMBURG.-On
Thursday afternoon at + o'clock, while
William Damn, a young man living
in Hamburg, was talking to his wife
and sister in his store, a negro named
Harry Hackctt came up and stood lis
tening to the conversation. Damn
ordered him away, whereupon the
negro put his hand behind him rs if to
draw a pistol. Damn went towards
him, but was held by his wife and sis
ter. Hackett then fired Mt Damn, but
missed him and struck his wife in the
head, intlicting fatal wound. Damn
pursued tlackett who fired three times
more at him. one Of tie balls striking
him in tho shoulder, causing q flesh
wound. Another was fired so close
that the powder burned Damm's face.
Hackett escaped. Search is being
made for him: There is ,pqeh, excite;
caught He viii DC lynched. .N''' IL
a special to the Neps and Courier,
dated January 10, from Beaufort, gives
the particulars OF a fatal shooting,
which took place at Bnll river to-day,
resulting in the death Of one man and
the serious wounding of two others.
William j. Sweeny, keeper of sail
ors' boarding house in Charleston,
undertook to furnish four sailors to
the British barkentine Sunbeam, living
at Bull river, and delivered the sailors
on board that morning. AS Sweeney
was showing off from the ship three of
the sailors jumped back into his boat,
when the captain OF the vessel opened
fire on them, killing one of the sailors
and seriously wounding Sweeney and
another sailor. The sheriff has gone
to Bull river to arrest the captain.
General Grants satire upon the
press comes rather ill-naturcdiv from
man who owes more to ncWspopcr
putting than any person alive or dead.
AS the good Deacon Smith observes,
1.-THE press is mightier than the sword,
but its creatures have little gratitude
to their creator"

The Revised Work TO be Issued May 20,
In BOth EugIRnd and America.

New YORK, May 1O.-Rev, DR.. Philip
sChaf, Of the American Commission for
the Revision Of the New Testament, said
to-day to Tribune reporter that the books
would be issued May 20, simultaneously
in this country and in England.
As soon as issued 1t is expected that 1t
will be extensively reprinted, q number OF
houses having already announced cheap
editions, The American Bible Society
cannot reprint II until there has been Q
change In its constitution,
DR.. SChaf thinks the new edition OF
the Testament will, in time, entirely re-
place King James version, The Ameri.
can Committee recommended some minor
alterations, which were not accepted by
the English Committee, but will be issued
in the form OF an apendix to each volume,
DR.. schatf says these alterations are in
tended merely TO secure greater accuracy,
and do not embrace anything that can be
regarded AZ touching doCtrinal points.
For intauce, the Americans recommend
the use Of the word grain" for "Corn,"
the latter term being generally accepted
now Rs meaning Indian corn, Of which
there was none raised In Palestine.The En-.
gllsh committee, however, adhered to the
term "corn," and also to the old ways OF

WASHINGTON, May TO- Ex.Secretary
Thompson hss returned from New York.

falCation with the Canal Company g funds

He says that the complaints about poor
provisions came from the French en-.
gineerg, who could not put up with the
native diet. Thompson says they are pro.
greseiDg faster than was expected with the
preliminary work Of clsarlng of tees and
laying out the course OF the canal. He
expects 10 be able to have excavation

United States bonds were very

which attend oil great bull movements.
a report was circulated at the Stock Ex.

bulls yesterday, set in and the loss oi
to-day was recovered on the combined
buying OF shorts and longs for the rise.
The French and German shippers, who
were such free buyers oi refined lard at
the top, and just before the break, were
free sellers yesterday on 4 three, quarter

said to be buying again en- the reaction.
