The After-Dinner Session.

1t was o'clock when President Adams
called the convention to order, and the
number in the hall had increased to 200.
DOnnelly was not in the hall but the ma
jOrity of his followers were there and par
ticipated in the proceedings. r. c. Libby.
who came into the morning session firm
friend of DOnnelly, deserted him after his
speech and remained In the convention.
When asked why he turned on Donnelly he
said that he had done wrong in attacking
the saloon element. and in his opinion he
had made an ass OF himself, and he couldn't
afford to go out of the convention with
him. He said he had worked for Donneliy
and done all he could for him, but he
couldn't approve of his action in the con-
vention. He hated to see it for it would
result in splitting the party, as D0nnelly
was power among the farmers, and he
would tight the action of the convention.
MI. Libby says he will go to the senate
from the Fourth senatorial dis
trict if the people ask him. The
first business in order was the report
of the committee on credentials. Mendoza
sent two delegations and as contest was
raised and 10 compromise could 0e az
ranged both delegations were thrown out.

Judge of tho Eight Circuit

Is the most absorbing election be.
fore the Legislature. The candidates
have, until last Saturday, been in
Columbia the greater portion of the
time, and most Of them all Of the
time, since the Legislature met. The
friends of Col. Norton claim that he
is considerably in the lead, while the
friends Of Maj. Whitncr and Col.
Parker do not concedc this claim.
The fact is, we think that each Of
these gentlemen have number of
strong friends, and the contest is
close and uncertain enough to make
it decidedly Interesting. We think
Maj. Whitncr has gained steadily on
the Legislature, and would as soon,
or perhaps sooner, take his chances
than that OF any other candidate.
Mr.. Graydon, Of Abbcvillc, will also
make a very ere liable race for q
young man, and Col. Donaldson will
get some votes. Judge Cothran will
not resign before the fifteenth or
twentieth Of this month, and hence
the election is at least ten days Of.
In that period very many changes
may occur, and hence the friends of
each candidate will be required to
give no little time to keeping up
their fences as we'll as to securing
acquisitions. - Senator Mu,7uu in

read the cxtracts--publishcd in an

help thinking seriously, almost pain
fully, OF this matter. And simulta.
neously the newspapers from almost
all parts OF our State bring ominous
news Of the inability Of the people to
pay their taxes. Is not the first cost
of the agricultural college estimated
at from one hundred thousand to
three hundred thousand dollars?
When VIC calculate the interest upon
this first cost, whether it be 100000,
or $i200,000, or $300,000, and add Il
yearly appropriation Of some $44 900,
we cannot help asking ourselves what

junction that q man should provide
for those Of his own household. The
State pays its six per cent. interest

but just it that should be compounded

matter Of taxation, let us think well
OF our childr in the coming years :;

n Revolving Murder.

About sundown, on Tuesday of
last week, on the plantation Of MIR.
Wm. E. Good, who lives within q
fourth mile Of Broad River, in the
western part Of this county, was com.
mitted one of the most brutal mur.
ders, and tol the least apparent cause
that has ever been our lot to record.
Almost i'll broad day light and not
more than two hundred and fifty
yards from his parents house, little
John Lee Good, q lad of only about
twelve years Of age, was cruelty mur.
dcrcd. His father was absent from
home at tho time Of this occurrence,
having gone to the mill, but his cry
for help was heard at the house, and
Immediately his mother aud little
negro boy hastcncd to the scene, in
an open field, where II shocking sight
was presented. In narrow ditch
or gully, lay the manglrd body Of
the poor wounded boy. His skull
had been crushed, his mouth was
mashed in, and every evidence show.
ed that he had been most cruelty
beaten. The ground Was tramplcd,
and well defined tracks were noted,
and lying around were stones smcarcd
and spattered with blood.
The dreadful news spread rapidly
through the ncighborhood and an in
vestigation was begun almost immc-
diatcly by Trial Justice J. =. Blair,
1rtlnO oS cOronor
The theory upon which the invcs.
tigation is being conducted, a plau.
sible clue having been obtained, is
that some Of the negroes working for
Mr.. Good, or other negroes in the
ncighborhood, having plotted to steal
some baskets Of cotton to be Dur
posely left in the field, approached
for the purpose Of taking the cotton,
when unexpectedly they met the lit.
tie boy and as means Of preventing
exposure killed him, probably in.
tending to conceal the body hy
throwing it into the river, only two
hundred yards distant; bnt from
some cause were prevented from thus
completing their bloody work.
Evidence as to the motive seems
to he satisfactory to all, though there
arc otacr theories advanced, crimi-
mating only the suspected persons.
which in the present light Of the in
vcstigation, we do not deem it ad.
visablc now to print.
On "Wednesday, Trial Justice
Blair committed to Jail Nose Lip
scomb, Dan Roberts and Bailey
Dowdlc, all colorcd, charged "with
the murder Of John l.. Good or being
accessory thcrcto,' and they were
received by the Sheriff and locked
up on Wednesday night; and on Sat
urday, another negro named prcsi
dcnt-of-thc-Unitcd Scott Thompson
alias Print Thompson, was committed
by Trial Justice Blair on the same
charge,
Up to Friday night, the Trial JUS
tice, in conducting the inquest, had
examined about twenty witnesses,
when he adjourned the Investigation
until next Friday.
Since the above was written and
put in type we have received letter,
from Bullock's Creek, giving some
additional particulars of the atrocty,
