KpeculntiotiN as to tlie ('ninpHi^n. mid (tie CircuniMtauceM that Bronchi About the Krsult. The second primary election in South C'aro Una came ofl' yesterday, but we are now " * * ? A L in & hho, speaitlDg particularly me ciauuii m ville county. Considerable Interest wan felt In the elec tlon of United States Senator, while the election of county officers was overshadowed by the contest between Evans and Earle. Th? day was a beautiful one, and except for the demands of the cotton field, there was little to prevent a lull vote. The partial returns which we publish Is all that 1b certain, but aside from the actual op . come, it might not be amiss to speculate on lUCtaUSCS Ultliaic (JltOUmvu iu u?.v to bring about the result, and what we say is, of course, matters of opinion, and subject to correction by those who takea different view. The fact that of Governor Evans stopped with Hon. Josh ABheley on his way to this ' place on the evening before the public meeting was no advantage to htm, while the fact that claquers are presumed to have come Irom Anderson county possibly at hissuggastioD. to give tone and expression to the meeting itself did htm harm. 'Tills, taken with his act In not resenting'fie assault of Duncan, cost fc him many votes' $ ' . The total vo?e In the first elections for United States Senator was a surprise to every? votes which the opponents ol ||L /i2van? received were given to them In many instances simply as a protest against his elec> Nobody, however, had any other Idea HKan that Evans would distance both of bis '~y_ Effi?mpet>tors ln the flr8t race" Th'8 statement, ,m!i'Wwe believe, Is true not only in Abbeville county, but is conformable to tbe facts in every part of the State. While we believe that there were not many very enthusiastic Earle men, in this county, yet it is true that, in a normal condition, a large per cent, of the voters preferred Earle to Evans. It is also true that inany voters were thoroughly opposed to Evans. Earle's election is therefore is due.as much to Evans' unpopularity, 6S to his own popularity. It was estimated last night that Earle's majority in the State would be 10,000. One great advantage which Earle had over Evans lay in tbe fact that Evans had a record which bad been assailed, whether Justly or not, we leave for others to say. For Instance, his friendship for the dispensary law, his enforcement of the same in recalcitrant cities, and especially ln Charleston, made several classes of outspoken enemies, namely: All saloon keepers; all men who favor open bars : and all Conservatives were either op posed to him or favored Earle. Tbe town of Abbeville, with only a few exceptions, which might be counted on one's fingers, Is outspoken for Earle, and various citizens were actively at work for bim all day. Evans seemed to be almost without friends, so far as tbe outspoken workers were concerned. The election at Abbeville was absolutely lair, and as far as we have beard no ground for complaint was given and no fault has been found with the integrity of tbe managers. This' newspaper has never taken any stock In the insinuations that have appeared againBt managers of election In any part 01 the State, and, as far as our knowledge goes, such imputations against the managers ol election in Abbeville county have been with?. r....,i.Knn In r??i VUHUUUU...VU ? ? In the county Hon. D. H. Magi 11 was elected to the House of Representatives. Col. W. R. Bullock was re-elected Clerk ol the Court. Capt. John Lyon was re-elected to the office of County Supervisor. It will require the official count to determine who Is elected Sheriff. With Lou3 Cane Bellvlew, and Phoenix to hear from there it tr . only a difference of four votes, which are In favor of Capt. F. W. R. Nance. A Brave (iorernor. Governor Atkinson, of Georgia, has won the respect of law-abiding people everywhere He discharged his duty as Governor, regard less of the 6trong appeals ln behalf of Arthur Hayne, who bad slain a comrade, and had been seutenced to death. The courts had 1 ? ' nn o voH nnrf t hp uceu npyciwcu i.u mm uv. Governor of Georgia did his duty. Past observations of the workings of tbe South Carolina Governors lead us to believe tbat if Ar thur Hayne had been tried in this State, he would have been promptly acquitted, or 11 convicted he would have been pardoned, aDd as a result he would now be a citizen. Juries in this Judicial Circuit have not convicted more than two or three white men out of perhaps a hundred murderers, and in these exceptional cases, the courts have been kind enough to order the necessary number ot uew trials to secure acquittals. Georgia white men who contemplate murder ought to move to South Carolina, where they may plead self-delense, or use the hip-pocket argument This advise to white Georgians does not apply to negroes. A negro who commits murder in South Carolina is likely to fare no better than a white murderer in Georgia. The Election.

A BULLET IN HIS BRAIN, The Body I'll row ii in Hockey BivcrIt KlHeft-h Buried?The Murder Cio Free. The Savannah side, where once resided tlii culture, refinement and wealtti of Abbevllli County, has been the scene of another in excusable murder. Without either whiskey anger, Jealousy, or resentment, a foul murde was plotted and carried into ellect on Satui day night, Auuust'iSth, on the estate ol th late James Edward Calhoun In this Couuty. - v similar uccurreuce im^fcuiu > iuv. neighborhood several years ago. A whit 1 man and some negroes, it Is thought, killei and burled a negro In the "Hominy Pot" 01 the Savannah, and now another deed of blocx 1 has been enacted by a white man and twi t uegroes. This last victim, like the first, wa a negro?both unfortunates were burled li the water, with roelts attached to thfl ' bodies, r In the neighborhood of Calhoun Falls llvei . a bright mulatto, about twenty-two years c age. He was born near Mount Carmel. IHn ing Komclline in the past he was a menibe ol the bridge building gang ou the C. & N - railway, and being a capable and Industrlou man lie bad saved some money. During hi - rest from labor, he run with "the boys," am , when he was in Rome, he did as the IiQthan do. The "boys" about Calhouu^Fafls do a ! the "boys" do in a fej? oilyy; communities > namelv: euEaa?~taj--irjttpkewor chance, or, ti put in piaVnTanguage, they gamble a litue 01 cards. It Is presumed that this negro Coleman, (wfc did not learn his fuli name)?had boaslei of his ready cash. Son e of bis associate counted the money, which they thought h< bad. aud which they needed in their business Three of them plotted or planned a scheim by which they might become the owners o 1 Coleman's wealth. The particulars of tbl plot or scheme in best revealed by the state ment of what followed. On the Saturday above mentioned a man bought a rope fron .Mr. liranville Bealle, merchant, and buslnes manager of the Calhoun estate. Of course si innocent a purchase as thai of a plowline created no suspicion, and the merchan thought no more of the rope transactioi until after the bloody occurrence becorm known. The purchaser of the rope, Coleman am two others arranged for a game on Saturda: uigbt. One of the party had the rope wrap ped in a loop over his shoulder, but Colemai thought no more of the circumstance than t< remark on the foolishness of a man in carry lng around with him a rope ou Saturda: night. <Y>lem?n wftR phpArfol and llerht hearted badgering the boys as to how he and hi partner would beat them in the game an< pocket the odd change of his adversaries All Joked and everything was merry. Thej proceeded to a secluded place in tbe wood where it was agreed that tbe game should b played. Suddenly and without a word of warning oue of the party, which was couiposed of tw< negroes and a white man, drew his pistol am sent a bull through tbe centre of Colemau' forehead. This shot, in carrying out tb former agreement between tbe parties, wa tired by one of the negroes, who did not lies! tute to undertake to be chlel executioner ii the performance of the bloody plot. 1 Kxcept bis undershirt, the body of the deai mau was stripped of everything. The cloth ing being carried away for examination c the pocket and for dlvislou of the spoils, i small amount of ready cash, and a check 01 the G, C. & S. Railway lor thirty dollars wa found. It was then to be seen that they had mad but little by their deed, and then the fear c detection was discussed. The body, It lei where the mau was slain would soon be din covered. The fatal shot being fired prematurelj the difficulty in carrying out tbe fire intention of throwing tbe body into th low Iti tho fa/?t thai If. wnu fhrPft nil If to the stream. Tbe body was taken to the bend in Rocke; Klver, wbicb is about balf-mlie from tb mouth that empties into tbe Savannah Hestlng there from their fatiguing task they secured two rocks, weighing each abou forty pounds. They were tied?one to th legs and the other to the body?and as tb suu rose and cast its light on that holy Sat bath morning they sought to bury loreve from the sight of mun tbe evidence of thel misdeed. It was plUDged into the eddy wa tor where it was something like ten feet deet and immediately It sank irom view. On the fourth day after this occurrcuce hi body was seen floating on top of ine watei The fact was reported. Hail dozen men ai sembledontbe scene. The oody was take out of the water and the rope was identitle as that which Mr. Utale sold on Saturday A shallow hole near the edge of the wate was dug. c.od the slain man was cast therelt when the earth will hold him. And thus it was a man was slain In col [ blood. The perpetrators of the deed coul not have hoped tor more than from 815 to & ' apiece. As far as we have heard no eflor ' has been made, or will be made, to bring th murderers to the bar of Justice. The dead body was simply burled outc sight and it seemed that nobody desires t punish anybody. The negroes seem not ti have sufficient civilization to demand th r punishment or euner meir own r:ice, or member of tlie other race who had done s badly. It Is said that the white people o > that section are afraid or unwilling to d anything to bring the a deserved punishmen Jt Is a learlul condition of morals whe men will murder for so small a sum, and it! , lamentable.that auy community should b willing to tolerate such lowlessness.
