iEE NEWS AND HERALD. j; AVDvN'SBORO, S. C. "WEDNESDAY, January 11. : : : 18S2. ! R. XTEAXS DAVIS, Editor. e iiyO. S. REJlSOL-DS, ASaOtiAia tvuur e ' < : = A lard factory blew np last week ; in St. Louis. What will happen next? j The Atlanta Exposition is over. It J was a great success, aud has done , much lor the future welfare of the South. Attorney-General Brewster announces the determination to prosecute the Star Route thieves in person, r.nd to enter civil suits on their bonds for thousands of dollars. This looks j like business. Tallage says there are two kinds of communism to be resisted?namelv, tue communism that, with knife and bludgeon, seizes your property because yon arc rich; and the communism that organizes and takes your property because you are poor. Grant now thinks that Fifz John j Porter v as unjustly dismissed from; the army. Truth crushed to earth ! an :!i rise again, and a candid public is learning that Porter, as a Democrat, j was made the scapegoatot thestupidi-; ty and mendacity of other?. Since the government's experts got: in their work Guiteau's chances have iMMventiblv declined, and the odds are largely iu favor of his hanging. Ar-j ?utnents have begun. Judge Cox; offered to let the jury go out and take j jt recess while leg$l points were (lis- j cussed, but thev preferred to remain, i It is thought a verdict will be obtaiued j ^ I this week. ? Jj i 7l w Sexatou Fishburne's bull has not; gathered much in volume, and as yet j appears to propelled by a very few individuals. Advices from Colleton are ' that the Democratic party there take ; jio stock in his proposed movement, j Many persons object to the fence law, i bat they see no iniquity in the scheme j of registration. "\\'e believe Senator j Kishburne will be all right before the next election. The 2fews and Courier has passed into the hands of the Xews and Courier I Company, a corporation recently chartered by the Legislature. "We pre eume the former proprietors will retain a controlling interest in this paper i which has grown and prospered so ; -wonderfully under their management. The jYews and Courier is the best i paper in the Cotton States, and we ! vrish it continued prosperity. Mr. "William Beattie, of Green- j ville, is a wide-awake and progressive i merchant. He advertises in the Green-! rille A'eics that as he wishes bis adver- i tiscments to be still more generally! read than now, he will give a year's j subscription of the weekly Xeics to : any one who purchases twenty dollars j x worth of merchandise, for cash, be- j tween now and the first of March. His j success in business is partly explained ; by his appreciation of the value of printer's ink. TVhex "Arthur grasped the reins" of1' government, he received the hearty en- 1 dorsement of the leading New York papers. IN'ow he can count only on the capricious Herald and the thickand-thin Commercial Advertiser. Leaving out the Democratic papers, ' the Times, the Tribune, the livening \ Post, the Sun and Harper's Weekly I . . sound all the notes in the gamut from decided disapproval to contemptuous : comment aud downright abuse. The Legislature meets again this ; ; morning, and will remain some 1 : time in session. The reading of the i I GLeneral Statutes in the Senate wiil require several weeks, besides which the i election law, the constitutional con- | vention and constitutional amend- i ments must all be considered at length. The members have enjoyed the advan- I tages of personal discussion and of i deliberate reflection, and should be i prepared to act dispassionately and j with wisdom. The present year is ] fraught with momentous issues, and ] -in v i. r c | . auiiougii i:u ltxu in ;uiy e>un- ] oils peril to Democratic supremacy, it < . is best, as far as possible, to avoid all i . _ . mistakes, and to pass 110 legislation j that Is not necessary. < ' * The Xew York Herald's Washing- 1 i ton correspondent says there are seven ^ applicants for the Charleston Custom r House, and they are waging a most . exciting campaign. Each of the seven has entered wholesale charges of corruption against the others, and each charge has been succeeded bv a writT ten defence and renewed charges. Half a dozen clerks are kept working ^ night and day to furnish copies of s these papers to the parties interested. T The true inwardness of South Carolina ^ Radicalism is fast becoming apparent. , A 1IU duiu t\J UKZ A. u. r Johnson, R. M. Wallace, Ilarry Noah, C. H. Baldwin, Senator Collins and one or two more. It is reported that Johnson will be the successful applicant. Tammaxt still shows the cloven foot. By a combination with the Republicans a Taminany alderman has been made president of the board in the city of New York; while the three m oJ: i J xiiiuiimuy oeujiwr) 2wiu m-v iuuiuisiiv j. assemblymen have bolted the Demo- a era tic nominating caucus at Albany ? because John J^elly was not promised r the lion's share of the patronage. As 1 the Democrats, including Tammany, would have a majority in both branch- i e$ of the Legislature, of which they p are now deprived, the extent of Kelly's c treachery is clearly shown. He has defeated the party in the. three last flections by bolting and swappiug g votes, and as long as he has a corpor- j n al's guard around him the Republicans ! c will rule the State and the Union. The ! ? ?- - . - 0.3 ? i _ i'emocrars are 10 oe cooioiuuuuu iui , $ their boldness iu going on without j-4him. The only safe course is to kick s him entirely over to the Republicans. ^ At the recent term of court in Or- a fcngebarg, Judge Fraser specially i a charged the grand jnrv that as the j & common schools were invariably under the control of State and county j <* officers, it was their dutv to investi-j ft ?S>'* 'IS gate the conduct of these officers and : gi see that the education of the people of. ?! the county is not neglected, but is j guarded with that jealousy that its irn- ! portance demands. <4if," said the j fl Judge,the education of our people jiu ' ir' SafK. -th. '*' ! - - 'v 'v ? > / ssaggp?ama sns^om mm ? iBBoa?Hacrcg? and the character of our people in the ! future depends upon that education, i A and if that education is thrown ?nto 1 ( the hands of public officers, then it is j -J important that every man connected i 1 ** _.i ^ v, i with the system ot puunc wiuuuiwn j s* erform his duty intelligently j cj, 'hfu'ly, and it is important that | O . and jury shall have the same .u'ol over those officers as over the j other officers of the county." Judge I ta Fraser is correct. Xo part of the gov-i pi ernment is more important than the ; ^ School system, and it should he man-' aged for the best interests of the peo-1 m pie. ! tii Senator Fishburne, of Colleton, i d: will make a grave mistake if in his i I ac cooler moments he adheres to the re- j nunciation of Democratic affiliation* rn made by him at a public meeting called i pi bv him in Colleton. "We have all alonir | - O] held that the Legislature should not , ^ act with precipitancy in the matter of j forcing the stock law upon the lower i e* counties; hutiftlievdo make a gen- j \v * tr era I sweeping bill, that is not. sufficient j ground for secession from the party. I T] The mcetinir is reported to have acted j judiciously. While presenting a strong Ilii protest against the enactment of the ; stock law and the registration law, tiic ' w citizens almost unanimously rejected j Ti resolutions dissolving connection with j ? the Democratic partv. The majoritv j J - i >c in the Legislature can now listen to fu the petitiojj, as the petitioners have iu shown that their devotion to the- party is unswerving. Senator Fishbarne has done noble w work in behalf of the Democracy, and el we should sincere!v regret to sec him ul u taking seriously any such step as (r: should lead to a severing of Jus pas: c> politics-.l affiliations. Ho is too much to of a patriot for that. j T_:r. Society of Political Education j1* has entered upon its second year. 1: jn numbers among its chief spirits sncli \\ leading political economists as Profes- th sor Sumner. David A. Wells, Horace White. Charles XordhoiT". Edward Atkinson and Henry (ieorge, beside? (>i many other distinguished men. The an Societv is non-partisan, its creed beinir a' * ('j] so broad that Democrats and Kepubli- CN cans can stand alike upon it. Its sole | sa purpose is to educate the people uj on j is the economic questions of the day, J ^ such as banking systems, the usury j law. tariff reform, metallic currency j tr and similar topics. It is certain that F h;i " - ?- i i in sectional issues are iasi avu^ mu, auu ; ,, w OI the issues of the future will be those j above named. It is essential then that j 0Ii not only every politician but every ! v( voter and taxpayer be instructed in'1'1 the fundamental principles of theques-: e]] tions that arc llkelv to prove of inter-1 ?h * j est to him. The Society therefore j ?offers peculiar advantages to the rising11 lu generation, in enabling them to go to 1 j" the fountain-head for information, in-1 Ti stead of dabbling in the muddy waters j dr that are agitated by demagogues and j ^ charlatans. Any person on payment j ^ of fifty cents can become a member, by | fr pledging himself to read the books j m and pamphlets recommended by the j ^ Societv. Last year the books were j t four iu number, sold at the reduced e price of three dollars, while four pamphlets in addition were gratuitous- w' ly issued. There are already two or three members in "Winnsboro, and il is its desired to extend the list. Any per- is son wishing information may apply to tK the editor of The News and Herald ^ or to Mr. J. E. McDonald, to whom a ci, number of circulars of information to; have been sent. Capt. F. W. Dawson, of Charleston, is the secretary for this section of the Union. We hope soon annivmcp that: a fionsidorable mem-I bershiplias been secured in Wiunsboro. David A. Mills, the great freetrader, in a recent article entitled the $c "The Story of the Cotton Ties", gives tic a striking instance of the rapacity of the protectionists and the injury done or to Southern farmers by high tariff, bii He shows that in the tariff revision Ca made by Congress during the war at ^ least four thousand articles were prac- [j. ticallv "protected" by enormous rates. Ui Among the articles specially protected Sc by the government was iron. In all its (^. forms. After enumerating all- iron manufactures then existing, they put in a clause laying a duty of thirty-five ot per cent, on all articles "not otherwise ^ provided for." "When cotton ties catne ?a into use, the officials levied a duly of So seventy per cent, on them as ;'hoopron", thus choking off British com- ^ petition. After argument it was de:ided that tics, being not simple hoop- ron, came under the general clause. Er md thus the duty was reduced one- a [ lalf, still being thirty-five per cent. t|1( Hie manufacturers fought this bitter- tio y; but ^fler a rehearing the Secretary So >f the Treasury confirmed the first v?' iecision. During the proceedings it : vas shown that this duty of thirty-five phi >er cent, is a tax of ten or twelve cents au< >n every bale of cotton, or over $600,>00on the whole; while uuder the t?nf seventy per cent, clau.se th? tax was j the ust double that. Thus Southern farm- j ne< srs pav nearlv a million dollars into * Km he pockets of a few manufacturers, ^.0 tnd they have uo way of getting this tal noney back, for the price of cotton is wh ixed in Liverpool, where our product en' las to compete with Brazilian and pjfl ndian cotton, baled with ties on which a h 16 such duty is paid. This is one of on* he manv enormities of a protective i res 1161 ariff. The whole Union is made to j >ay tribute to a few manufacturers in Crc he North and East, who, rolling in lan vealth plundered from other sections, ^atl mil doze and buy up their employes -nd thus cam* elections in doubtful the itates, and perpetuate the Republican f cti tarty which is pledged to perpetuate j bet he iniquitous burden. The tariff cjti [uestion is looming- up into import- f]ie" .nee, and it should be carefbllv studied ^ lot only by tl*e politicians but by the I jm] eople themselves, in order that a heck may be put to the rapacity of tha he manufacturing- harpies. lj,e - eru A Small Pox Cure.?Mr. Bernard !

Iii jrivi:i^ a ruiihitijr history of tlio ; tcrnationa! Cotton Exposition. which )-cd on list Saturday, the Atlanta tMVC To l>c?r! 11 with, it is the first world's j ir ever held vrithin one year from the i:e it was suggested? the usual time 1 ken being tivc vears. In the second i ace, it is the first time that a world's : ir was ever held in a city of less than i.MO people?the smallest city ever j tempting such a thing before having ! ore than a half a million people. In j e third place, it was the finest and \ >mpletest exposition of American in- [ istries ever held anywhere. ihc imposition covered twenty-one ; :res of floor space; around the build- i gs and through the aisles were eleven ! iles. There wore six miles of steam j pe and six miles of sewerage. The i he power was supplied by three en-; nes in the main building and one in j e agricultural machinery annex. There were over eighteen hundred :hibits made, comprising everything ithin the range or'American industry oin an anvil to a piano, anil from a life sharpener to the automatic mule, tie first entry made was that of J. j nith Barnwell, of Darien, Ga., who j splayed imitation asphaltum. The j eond, the Biiiiihamton Oii Refining! >mpany, of New York, and the third j as J. T. Wilder, of Chattanooga. jn:i. Probably the largest exhibit as that of the AYiilimantic Tiiread Hnpany, which, however, comprised veral exhibits under one entry. The Host line of exhibits was in agricul-. ral implements, carriages and huir-. e>. cotton gins and presses?agricul- . rul implements leading I hem all. The three points that tlie iixposition i ;is expected to develop In cotton rnalinery were these: Fir?I, the pro-' iction of a ifi:i that working under roller principle would equal t!:e saw n. Second, i lit- production of a nialine that wov.Ui thoroughly clean colli and send it to (he bale without any tst or dirt: and, third, a press ci;e:;p iou:rh and simple enough for farming ;e and yet with enough power to come-> a bale-so that :lte lint would he i ipervious to dust, rain or dirt, j kether or not the Kxnosition settled e*e three points. it certainly went a cat way towards it. Outside of tlic-e three points, bower, t!?e Exposition did a vast amount 'good in the direction of improved! xiculture throughout t!ic: South. The I nount of sales made of improved nsaiinery was simply marvelous. The ; ihibilors all agree that they never w a better selling exposition. There J scarcely a neighborhood in the i mthern State? into which an improvI stump puller, post hole borer, ough, cotton planter, manure disibutor. sulky plough, cultivator or' Iimo not <i-r?in> -iii.t wltiiOi \v?if?n " * V .? . ?. *? >" > , ...... J troduced, will induce 1 lie purchase ! others. The benefits which will! me from the side of improved ma-1 inory may be accounted amom^ the ry best benefits to bo derived from \ e Exposition. In giving the financial result, of the iterprise, to summarize it may be said at I lie cost of the Exposition was 150.000, of which $150,000 in roundj rures was put in buildings and im ovements and the balance paid out r running expenses, printing, &<:. lat the receipts were from two bulled and twenty to two hundred and ry thousand dollars, of which $115,0 came from stock, 15,000 from priviges, $15,000 from entry fees, $' '0,000 om gate receipts and $5,000 from iscellaneous resources. Add to these i ceipts whatever the buildings will :ng and we will have about the to- i 1 receipts of the International Cotton ^position. As to the attendance it is safe to say, 3 think, that a quo i ter of a million ople witnessed tiw Cotton Exposi>n. The s:?* of th;s crowd is really j ; smallest elcraei.t of importance. It i doubtful if ever so large a propor- i >n of distinguished men?of practical rnest men seeking for information? d of representative men from all isses and all sections were jrathercd ^cther in a crowd five times as large "this. A recapitulation of some of e most distinguished delegations and id people will show what we mean. 1. The Legislatures of three States? entucky, Tennessee and South Carola?adjourned by resolution and me iu a body to visit the exposition. 2. The Press Conventions of six uthern States adjourned by resolu>n and met at Atlanta. 3. The Govei nors who attended the cposition were follows: Governs Bigelow, of Connecticut, Blackirn of Kentucky, Hagood, of South irolina, Bloxharn, of Florida, Hoyt. Pennsylvania, Weston, of Massausetts, Jarvis, of North Carolina and iwkins of Tennessee. Among the j nators Morrill, of Vermont, Ramsey, Wisconsin, Pugh and Morgan, of labama, Slater, of Oregon, Vance, of ;>rth Carolina, Voorhecs, of Indiana, .11, of Florida, and Brown and Hill, Georgia. Among other prominent ople present were ex-Governors well, of Connecticut, Bishop, of Ohio rlisle, of Kentucky, and Bon ham of uth Carolina, and ex-Minister Mayril, ex-Minister Milliard. Pirectormeral Goshorn of the Centennial, >mmissioner Loring, Mr. Edward kinson and others. 1. Several delegation from the New ' igland manufacturers' associations, 1 neeting of the Southern Manufacters' Convention, and a meeting of ] i National Cotton Planters' Associan, a convention of the mayors of { uthern cities, and many other con- ' utions of special representative peoj. A large crowd of representative ' nitore oftnitaHfits * [i merchants from the North and 1 uth, came to the Exposition ta in- 1 m themselves as to the resources of ! South, the temper of its people and ; chances for investment and the ?d of capital. It was notable that quently parties would come in a gle special car who represented m ten to a hundred millions of capi?that one delegation of spinners 10 came represented one-fifth of the :ire spindles of the United States? that one distinguished delegation of nters would cover the cultivation of alf million bales of cotton, or that j occasion would bring together repentatives of nearly every leading ' kvspaper in America. ] u short, it is the character of the 1 iwds rather than their size that At- ! ita and the South should congratn- i e themselves on, although in point of < rubers the crowd was much larger 1 .u expected. It is a notable fact that i re was a less attendance from the i ier cities of Georgia than has ever i :n given to an Exposition in any \ y before by its ne^vhbors. Whereas f Centennial got 80 per cent, of its ( eipts from within a radius of one j udred miles, it is questionable if the 1 tton Exposition did not get more j n half its receipts from outside of ] State of Georgia, as every South- i 1 State showed more interest in the j position than did the State of Geor- ? 1 .'he Exposition opened on the 5th of \ tober. The crowd was large, but f many complimentary tickets had c n issued that the receipts only [ ounted to about two thousand dol- 1 >. After this the receipts fell off, i the Exposition was not vet complet- I and for a week the receipts were 1 c ninal. The lowest day receipts I re, we believe, about three hundred j f lars. The highest day's receipts I t re a little over four thousand dollars. I no day was five thousand dollars j en in at the gates. There were scv- j j 1 days tlmt run above three thous-! I dollars, and, we believe, the re- j jts of one week will touch about! ,000, The largest single day was | ^ nters' Day, and the week in which ; j: i occurred was the largest week,; i weather was excellent,"with a day j ' wo's exception, until the last two : . KS, \VJ11M1 U1U1UM f \ f 1} UUICl US* V ; a bud one. This awte a falling j ( ? JJ I . .v inj-Pi oi\ in the receipts. It was expected that thirty thousand dollars would be taken in during the last two weeks, hut the actual receipts did not reach twenty thousand. Freedtnan's day was a complete failure as far as receipts ** n%l I. J 1*5 ?? f l.O were concerned. iiie aiiiyiw m w?v Exposition were hardly in working order beiore ti:e loth of November, at aboru which time tlie raildroads reduced their rales to one cent a mile. From this point the crowds began to grow, and h om November 20i.ii to December loth the bulk of the money was taken in at the gates. Cincinnati contributed more visitors than any city outside of the State, and from the first to the last took great interest in the Exposition. The Exposition closed on December 31st, as advertised, the receipts for the last day not being as large as were expected." The effect of the Exposition can hardly be summed up as yet. That it has brought a great amount of money llllK* JL^ I X 44111(4 taiiiawv %?w?ww mating that there have been 200,000 visitors, they have brought, perhaps, two million dollars into the city. The greatest benefit, however, that our merchants have had is in the shopping that has been done by the visitors. The retail dealers of Atlanta have been literally overwhelmed wilh trade for the past two months, and have made money at a rapid rate. The hotels and restaurants have had their hands full and most of them have made large amounts of money. TIIE yiCAKAGUA CASAL SCHE5IE. Who Are Interested in It and What They Intend to Do. [Wr slilncTon Conrsponrtcnt^ Boston Post.] Another busi):c>s afiair is interested in Mr. JJlaino's diplomatic correspondence, although there is no more evi licijcc tliat Mr. JL>I:ti;ic is connected with ihe Nicaragua Canal Company tii.ii: there was of his connection with the I'eniviau Company. It is a fart, nevertheless, that a projected corporation, of which, strangely enough, exPresident Crani is a charter member, i- deeply concerned in the propo>ed i;io;tiiic..t:?'ii of the Ci.iyton-lSalwer treaty. Little more than a year ago Engineer ilenoca', of the United plates navy, obtained a concession from the Xicarajruan Government by which certain citizens of the United States were .'riven the privilege of building1 an in'cruceaiiic ship canal over Menoc.d's and Amtueifs surveyed route. Last year and this year bills were introduced in Congress incorporating theXicaragua ('anal Cornpan v. I'. will he necessary, the projectors of she enterprise think, to scenic the abrogation or modification of the treaty in question as a condition precedent to the "i'uarantee hv this '? ? " - T V 1 "* government 01 mree per cent. utvmeiui on the cost of the canal sought for in the charter. A number of prominent public men are inierested in the proposed canal. Besides General Grant, there are his friends General Beal, Congressman Crapo. of Massachusetts. Admiral Amine;:. Commissioner Lorimr, ex-District (Commissioner rhelps am! Congressman Kasson, who will lake care of the canal's intercuts in the Home. All of these men are enthusiastic believers in the feasibility and i nponanee of the subject. So far as can be learned Mr. Blaine has no interest \vhatever]in the affair. It, is the intention of the projectors to mak6 a vigorous effort to secure the passage of the charter recently introduced in the Senate by Senator Miller, of California. The incorporators say that they n?mWl of the noressjirv capital as soon as tiic charier shall become a law, and they further say that the government will never he called upon for a dollar under the guarantee. They are convinced of tiie impracticability of the scheme both of the De Lesscps and Captain Eads. Recently, however, General Grant, who, last spring', published an article in the Xorth American Review in favor of the project, has been inciincd to withdraw from it and lend a friendly aid to Captain Eads. lie has, however, int yet formally withdrawn, and it is the hope of the projectors of the canal that he will continue to be associated with them. ARTHUR ASD BL A ?>'E. Circumstances Cndrr Which the Secretary of State Resigned. To corrcct certain misstatements which have been made iii regard to Mr. Blaine's withdrawal from the Cabinet, the following statement has been furnished for publication: ' On the 22d day of September, immediately after President Arthur had taken the oath of office administered by the Chief Justice of the United States, a full meeting of the Cabinet was held in the Vice-President's room in the Capitol. At this meeting every member of the Cabinet tendered hi* resignation in writing. On receiving the several letters President Arthur said it would be agreeable to him to have the Cabinet remain in position until after the regular meeting of Congress in December. Three weeks afterwards Mr. Blaine addressed the following letter to the President: "Washington, October 13, 1881.? My Dear Mr. President: "When I put -- ? ?* "All n Kah/1^ All 4 l.A inv resijiiiiitiuii xii >uuj iiatiu.c9 uu mir 22nd September you intimated your wish that all the members ofi;he Cabinet should retain their places until the meeting of Congress in December. As Secretary Window's expected return to the Senate may precipitate a vacancy in the treasury department in a few days, I have thought it might also render au earlier reconstruction of your Cabinet desirable to you. In that event 1 trust you will not he embarrassed, at least so far as I ain concerned, by a previous assignment of a late for withdrawal. It will be entirely agreeable to me to turn over the department to my successor on any rl.%*. ntill A;?f I UUV IUUI Will luvoi u^oiiauiu sonvenient to yourself. I intended to ?ay this to you yesterday, but from pressure of other things forgot it. Very respectfully, Jamks G. Blaine." "In a personal interview* following this letter the President repeated the request that Mr. Blaine should remain jntil December. There was never at my time the slightest misunderstanding between the President and Mr. Blaine about the lattcr's retirement, uid their personal relations continue, is they have always beeu, entirely "riendiy and cordial." Mysterious Disappearance.?J. S. Wilson left Abbeville on Monday, December 26, ostensibly to go to Atanta.

We have just l> i been inforpied of the death of a young 1' ; negro man which took place recently u ; in Hallock's Creek Township, in this ^ jcounty, the occurrenre being under i I( ; very singular, not to fay distressing, | u i circumstances. Our informant is the j h j Kev. W. W. lvatc.hford, who knew the | h , deceased, but could only remember his | name as "Jim':, his surname having escupecl bis memory. Jle was missing from home nearly .' even weeks ago. \ but his absence did not attract special G attention, his father having concluded tl that he had gone off somewhere to u work, notwithstanding it was known e that when he left home he took his gun w ostensibly to go hunting; but on Satur- ti day last, six weeks after he disappear- 1: ed, some consternation ensued by the o the accidental discovery, in a lonely i? place in the woods, about a mile from 'i the residence of Mr. Elias Inman, of s: * "* ' ? "? i I the ooay 01 a man apparently suspend- u ed to a tree. The negro who ina.ie I he J discovery gave the alarm at once, and o investigation proved that it was the i (1 body of the missiug negro. Ilis coat I a and gun were lying at the foot of the g tree. The theory of his death is that u he had chased game of some kind to this tree, which was hollow, and in his pursuit of it had climbed the tree, in- q tending to support himself by a pro- (] jecting limb with his right hand while g reaching into the hollow with his left, g But it is evident that while thus swing- ~ ing by his right hand to the limb, and s his left inserted in the tree, the limb j broke, and his left hand was so caught in the arpertarc that extrication was ^ impossible, and to add to his torture it ^ was found that his left shoulder was j: dislocated. In this condition he died j( from slow starvation almost in sight of f( habitations, but unfortunately in a lo- ,, cality seldom frequented, while if he ('j made cries of distress they did not at- ^ tract attention. An inquest was held v on Saturday by Trial Justice David- c son, and the verdict of the jury was in accordance with the facts above stated: but, as the papers have not been filed in the Clerk's office, we were unable to learn the unfortunate negro's name.?
