Republican newspapers have taken

DR.. Mellow was not punished for the
murder of Capt. Dawson. The fact is
that he was acquitted by a republican

more accurate that portion OF society in
South Carolina which respects Itself and

of the state has passed resolutions ex-
pelling him from the body, which is a
