The McDow Jurors Bring in Another
Verdict in q Murder Case.


CHARLESTON, s. c., July 3-The jury in
the case of John H. Weir, on trial for the
murder Of William Muuzemair, to-day full
filed public expectation by returning a
verdict of not guilty. Tho case excited a
good deal Of interest at the time of the
tragedy, March 9, but was entirely swal-
lowed up by the Mellow trial, which pre-
ceded it. 1t was admitted by all who
heard the evidence, that the state, at
best, had only made out case of man
slaughter, but as six Of the Mellow jury
men were on the jury, public anxiety was
directed to these men who had acquitted
Mellow, and we're to set in Judgment on a
man who, at least, had good plea of self
defense.
DIDN'T TAKE LONG.
The jurymen were equal to the occasion.
Their lines were softened for them by the
powerful and skilltul plea of one of the
greatest and most eloquent orators and
skilled counselors of the Georgia bar
Judge Twiggs The state attorney seemed
to realize the utter futility of making
hight before such jury, and contented
nlmSeIr with simple analysis OF the evil
dence and comments on the law. The jury
was out about two hours, and then re-
turned a verdict of acquittal, as in the
Mellow case. 1t is said that they arrived
at their conclusion within fifteen or twenty
minutes after getting to their room
The remainder of the two hours they re-
mained out was spent in discussing the mar
row phases of the case.
THE M'DOw VERDICT.
The Mellow verdict is still the subject of
comment. The negroes are openly rejoicing
at 1t, and the white people are silent. The
sentiment of the whole country is gradually
making itself felt. Some white men and
women here, who at first openly rejoiced at
the murderer's escape, are beginning to re-
alize that there is something more in volved
than their personal hatred TO the murdered
editor

THE LINCOLN HISTORY.
The Closing Chapters In 1.-THE Century"
TLo Great Success of the Serial.

Following upon the July chapters OF the
Iife OF Iincoln"-whioh, as already an
nounced, describe the Presidents renomi,
nation and Mr. Greeley's self-suggested
neoee trip 10 Nlagara-there will probably
he only six more installments Of this ro-
morkoble history In The Century series,
II IL said that these concluding chapters
deal with the most important and absorbing
personal and political topics, to which Mes.
srs. Nicoay and Hay bring vast fund OF
specal information. Lincoln's sagncity in
dealing with men and measures (and &C.
casionally his humor) come ont IN strong re-
lief in the chapters that give tho inside view
of the attempt of the radicals to deieat tue
denomination Of the president, OF the disa.
greements resulting in Cabinet changes, OF
Chase's appointment to the chiot-Justiceship,
md Of the exclusive dealings with the cop
psrhead" conspirators Mt the North. NO
part of tho work will attract wider attention
than the account of the measures adopted
by the religious denominations in support
of Administration and OF the sympathy ana
wisdom with which the President met the
suggestions of the churches, Or the IN
terest of the last three installments 1t is
only necessary to say that they cover the
period from the second inaugural to the
death OF Lincoln and the collapse of the re-
bellion.
The publishers announce that the back
numbers of The Century from November,
1886, containing the instailments OF the
Lincoln History are now all in print and can
be supplied to those who wish to complete
their sets. Of several of these numbers
two hundred and fifty thousand copies have

4 Memorial 70 uornee GreeIey.

Horace Greeley, the founder OF
the New York Tribune, has been
dead nearly seventeen years. There
arc few Americans who better de-
serve to have their memory perpetu-
ated in granite and marble than the
great editor who did more than any
other to make American journalism
Industrious, and whose services to his
country and to humanity were un-
surpassed by any man OF his time.
Shortly after tho death OF MIR. Gree
10y large and influential committee
was formed in New York for tho col
lection of money to erect n monu-
ment to his memory. An appeal
made by this committee for contribu-
tons brought responses to the
amount of several thousand dollars,
but public interest in the matter was
allowed to die out. and the fund was
put on investment. Subsequently
the typographical union of New York
city and the Grand Army of the Re
public post that bears the name OF
the dead editor, organized q special
movement to raise funds for fitting
statue. Recently the two funds have
been consolidated, amounting to
$4,000, and the well known sculptor
Alexander Doyle, awarded the con-
tract for the fSposed memorial,
which it is intended to erect in the
city hall square in New York.
But the sum in hand is insufficient
for carrying out the plan of the pro
posed statue, and an organized effort
is to be made to increase it to 3d.
900. For this purpose an appeal
will be made to the printers and edi-
torial fraternity of the United States,
IN order that the monument may
have more the character of nation
al than local tribute. Such an APP
peal ought to meet with m immedi-
ate and general response. Every
member of the editorial fraternity in
the United States should feel it to be
proud privilege and grateful duty
to contribute to memorial to the
foremost of American editors.
Among all the great men who con-
tributed to make the press OF the
United States potential and res
pected force, Horace Greeley is uni
versally conceded to have held the
first place. and the great work he did
was not less valuable than that &C
complished by the soldier or the
statesman. American journalism
owes him q great debt Of gratitude
and honor, and it can in no other
way 80 well attest its sense of the
obligation rs in generally contribut-
ing to the erection of q memorial
that will be worthy of the most dis
tinguished of American editors.-

Loss OF Life by Liquor.

Tho loss of life at Johnston, Pa,
by tho recent flood is estimated at
10000. In connection with this
awful calamity, Mr.. Hatch, superin-
tendent OF the electric light works,
who, with his wife had a thrilling
escape, makes the startling announce
ment that not les than 5000 persons
persisted beneath the raging waters
through the use of liquor, The low
err portion of the city was flooded
before the bursting OF the dam, and
people were driven into the second
stories OF their houses. "When this
occurred" Mr.. Hatch said, "large
numbers OF men left their housas
and plundered the saloons. When
the dam broke in the evening and the
maddened waters rushed upon the
doomed city, there--ere, certainly a
thousand men drunk, sailing in the
streets on RATS, and were dazed and
helpless. Unable to help themselves,
they caught and dragged Others
down. Besides. their families were
alone and powerless to save them
selves when the flood camo. Had
the men been sober and at home
many families might have been
saved"

A COLONIZATION SCHEME.
Texas Negroes Who Will Emigrate TO
Mexico,

III eXlcO.
Special Dispatch to the Globe Democrat.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, June 19,-Hen-
ry Ferguson, ex- County Inspector of
Fort Bend County, and Henry Ellis,
of San Antonio, both colored, have
in progress tremendous colonization
scheme. Ferguson is one of the
men who were run out of Richmond,
the county seat of Fort Bend, by the
whites. His brother, who was Dis
trict Clerk, was forced to depart at
the same time. Ferguson is Worth
1876, 900, and is determined every cent
of it shall go in the endeuvor, as he
considers it, to benefit his race. For
some days past he has been in cor.
respondence with the Mexican Min
lister of the Interior and Minister for
Foreign Affairs, and by both these
high officials has been assured of q
hearty welcome.
He leaves in company with Ellis
for Mexico tomorrow, and will return
in about ten days, when the work of
colonization will be actually begun.
He has been offered three tracts of
land in Nuel Leon, one OF 100000
acres, and one of 100000, Concern
ing the third he refuses to speak, and
it is suppoaed that this one will be
selected. He will carry to Mexico
letters of introduction and recon-
mendation to the most influential
officers of the Government given him
by DR.. p. Ornelas, Mexican Consul
at San Antonio.
Ferguson says that in the counties
of Fort Bend, Wharton, and in other
sections of the "Black belt" there are
thousands of honest, hard working
negroes who are anxious to live IN a
country where politics are not SO dis
turbed, and where no chance of a
race war exists. He will take to
Mexico 1000 farming families, and
has agreed with the Mexican Govern
ment to plant cotton. He will, he
says, have in his party no "town mig
gers or politicians, only practical
workingmen of recognized sobriety
and industry. He knows every negro
in that section, and will take his pick
OF them. The final exodus can not take
place before autumn, as the intend
ing colonists all have growing crops,
but when the time arrives they will
pack up and move out bag and bag
gage.
The affair is not altogether the re-
suit Of politics, although politics has
had O great deal to do with it. Fer
guson SAYS, independent Of the bitter
contest in progress between the blacks
and whites Of tho Brazos, his people
will be able to do much better in
Mexico than in the United States.
Each father Of a family viii be given
from 100 to $50 acres Of land, and
Will be furnished with supplies until
be gets fairly on bis feet. They are
guaranteed thorough protection in the

Concerning the elect upon the labor
question in the black belt Ferguson
declines to speak, in fact be has kept
the entire matter as quiet as possible.
