THE MUNICIPAL ELECTION.
The election for Intendant and Wardens
of Yorkville, passed off quietly and without
the least excitement On Monday last. Two
tickets were voted, one unequivocally repre-
senting the anti.lcense party, and the other
bearing the legend "Straitrout ticket-No
licence," but being somewhat vague as to
what was implied by the latter clause. Two
hundred and thirty-seven ballots were cast,
and the vote was as follows:

missioner for the State of South Carolina, has
been in correspondence with Superintendent
Jackson, of Castle Garden, for some time
past, with view of securing desirable settlers
for South Carolina from among the throngs
of immigrants who are now arriving at this
port by every steamer. The offer which
Mr.. Boykin was authorized to make OIL be.
half of his State was liberal one. German
or Swedish people were preferred, he said,
and large families, with girls and boys of
from 10 to 18 years, were especially wanted.
The travelling expenses Of the immigrants
will be paid to South Carolina. They will
be given houses and garden plots free, fair
wages in the cotton mills and other manu-.
factories will be guaranteed, and for those
who are farmers, a certainty Of work at good
pay is promised. Superintendent Jackson
was asked to make the selections, the choice
being left to his judgment. He has picked
out seventeen families, mostly Germans, who
will be sent to South Carolina to-day.-Ne,o

The big bridge, between New York and
Brooklyn, has been for over ten years in
course of construction and is not yet done.
Another bridge, which was long ago planned
to connect the two cities, has now been begun
and will be finished, if all goes we'll, in three
years. This is to be a comparatively mex
pensive structure, because instead of re-
quiring sixteen-hundred.foot span, as is
the case with the big bridge, it will use the
rock foundation of Blackwell's Island as a
resting place for two piers. The bridge will
cross from Seventy-6rst street to Ravens
wood, suburb which was formerly occupied
by the mansions of the wealthy, but which
was sadly damaged by chills and fever and by
the bad smells Of the oil re6neries and other
manufacturing industries of Hunters Point.
The floor of the new bridge will be about
one hundred and eighty feet above high

Judge Thomas Thomson, after an illness
of few hours, died at Abbeville G. H., on
Thursday last, of heart disease. Judge
Thomson was about 81 years old. He was
of Scotch descent, and a native of Long
Cane, Abbeville county. The Greenville
Meas says "He studied law in Mr.. Burt's
office, and subsequently became his partner.
Judge Thomson was one of the lawyers who
ennoble their profession by their sincere re.
spect for, and devotion to it. He was always
a hard student and commanded practice
that yielded him a handsome return, he accu-
mulating considerable property, principally
in real estate. In war, as in peace, he was

manding a regiment from this State, and

a brave, patriotic and earnest soldier. He
was the possessor of that strength of charac

his way upward in the world by force of hard
steady work, directed by an indomitable WILL
and supported by perseverance that never
called halt until the end determined upon
was attained. He was thoroughly strong
man with we'll, clearly defined ideas, and
steadily pursuing straight, upright course,
honestly and fairly beating down obstacles by
his own resolute strength. The people of the
entire State acquiesced most heartily in his

arrested him at the stable as he was preparing
to depart in buggy. When first approached
he attempted to pass for his twin brother, but
soon after his arrest acknowledged himself to
be William Henry Priester. He was confined
in the city guardhouse all the morning, and
was this afternoon delivered to Sheriff Gil
reath, who removed him to the county Jail,
and telegraphed the news Of his arrest to the
sheriff Of Barnwell.
"Priester asked about his father, and re.
ceiving the reply that he was dead and
buried, he completely broke down and wept
bitterly. His wife, who has returned to her
parents, was sent for by Priester's earnest re.
quest, and was permitted to see him in the Jail
this afternoon. Priester wears a wild and
haggard expression and declines to converse,
except briefly with intimate friends and former
schoolmates.
"His wife, who speaks of him in the kind
est terms, expresses herself convinced of Priest
ers insanity, tho first symptoms Of which, she
says, developed themselves about three months
ago. Mrs. Prester also states that the state
ment to which publicity had been given, that
Captain Priester had requested that his son be
hung, is not true that the old gentleman, be-
fore he died, forgave the deed, but asked that
if his son should be captured, he be dealt with
in manner to protect his fellow:men, hint
ing, doubtless, to bis confinement in the asy-
lum.
"Mrs. Priesters statement has, to very
great extent, assuaged public sentiment against
the prisoner in this community, where she and
her father and family enjoy the highest es'
teem."
In this connection, the following particulars
of the murder, given in letter from Allen
dale, under date of the End instant, will be
