Oh Q negro boy and his old mother in
Colleton county, December last cul-
minated in the trial and acquittal of
the accused, four white mon, for the
murder of the woman The verdict was
rendered on Tuesday night last. 1t is
q disgraceful verdict, rejecting on the
civilization of that sectioA OF the State.
The indictment is still pending against
the parties for the murder of the man.
But it will be a blunder il the Solicitor
does not enter O nolle prosequi in
the case. One crime is enough
at q time-even the small matter
of murder-let no temptation. to
perjury be thrown in the way of
twelve christian gentlemen of the best
people in that county, to blacken the
reputation of the State. The evidence
adduced OF the trial last week was
strong as proofs OF holy writ, so far as
may be judged from reports. The
Solicitor did his duty manfully and
ably in the teeth of a distardly public
sentiment. The character of the popu-
lace may be judged by the fact that it
undertook to overawe the witnesses
and allowed the Solicitor and Judge to
escape outrage and insult. In 1879
