THE CALDWELL HOMICIDE CASE.
[ From the HejniUican, May lfi. ]
Cajtt. Tuppcrliswheen brought in guil
ty oi manslaughter lor the killing of
Caldwell in Columbia last summer. lie
has appealed for a new trial. The man
who is luorally accountable for the death
i'" 'I- "I ! - ?..l ..C
<?l tHI'lWl'U IN now iiiiurnt;^ ctm i.n ...
the Stat' . Had Ik; refrained from a mf/
iaitily and cowardly attack upon Mont
gouituy, Caldwell would have Ikcii alive
to day and Tapper would be free from
the memory of a dreadful deed. We
do not poo how an unbiased jury
could find a verdict other than justifiable
homicide in Tup per case We
tliiok he would have been lawfully jio>tifiod
in killing all three of the Melton
party, and are oidy sorry that the most
culpable man of the whole lot of lawbreakers
not only escapes Scott free, but
lives to occupy one of the highest law
offices of the State.
Because of the publication of the
above the attorney general of this
state has sent word by his chosen
* friend Robert Small, Senator from
Beaufort county, that he intends, to
use his own words?to take the editor
of the Republican by the head,
open his mouth aud spit down his
throat.
The man may be recognized in
the matter of this threat aud in the
mode of its communication. The
great success which attended the
last "little difficulty" in which he
was en<?a"cd emboldens him to try
o o
another. The results of that affair
may be intemized as follows: One
inan, of inferior physical size and
strength, attacked from behind and
cruelly beaten; another man
killed ; a third wounded ; a fourth
sentenced to hard labor for five
years; while the prime cause of all
is electod to be attorney goneral.
This is a marked success. Now, can
this bo repeated. lie probably
thinks so. lie commences as usual
by selecting an opponent of the
proper relative size and strength,
lie arranges tho succeeding steps
as follows: Tho Hero will be
steamed up with an extra quantity
of "old rye," orsomo othor form of
"Dutch courago." lie will then
call to his aid two stalwart friends.
The three will promenade the street
in full view of tho victim, but will
not wink a^u unfriendly eyo at him.
Having thus lulled him into unsuspicious
security, they will sneak behind
him as he sits at dinner, or
perhaps dozes after it. Tho
Hero will fall upon him, hurl
him to tho floor, take a seat upon
his bowels and beat him until satisfied.
If the victihi has a prompt
friend one comrade of the Ilero
may bo killed and another wounded.
We hoDO that the attorney general
and exjudgo will vary the monotony
of the transaction in his contemplated
assault on the Editor of the
lturuDLlCAN. Let him leavo his
friends at home, lie is certainly
big enough to attend to this business
by himself. We will assure
him at any rate, that the* editor
will do all in hi3 power to change
the result in two particulars: If
any one is killed it will bo one of
the principals, and when he dines
in Columbia he will take his scat
facing the door.

Enough has been said ill preceding
lumbers to shew that the people of
South Carolina were ever watchful over
heir rights, and punctiliously jealous of
my invasion of them. In this laudable
rigilanco the citizens of Beaufort were
,'xcellcd hv none. Though quick to j>roest
against any encroachment on the
>art of the general government,?nay,
o meet it with armed resistance, the
Lrolinian was equally prompt in espousng
the cause of that government,
whether against outside foes or the
itcalthy lurkere of the forest. Upon the*
jreaking out of the Seminole war in
Honda, our citizens were among the
larlicst to the front: A company of Volinteers
was organized on St. Helena
sland under Captaiu [afterwards Col. |
L'lios. Fripp, an uncle of our fellow
ownsman Clarence Chaplin Ksq. This
ouipany rendered very cflWont services
a mounted riflemen, and were anioug
he Grst troops of the [J. S. thus cqu ppd.
Two of those from Beaufort were
rounded in that war. Messrs. MrKoc
nd Black; but noue lost their lives,
n the Mexican war too, tho sous of
fcaufort were to be found, voluntarily
mgaged: The two brothers, John and
ifcorgo Bold, James Stuart, who feli
ubscquently in Oregon, and whoso
iionument in the cemetery of our Parish
Church records his deeds of nublcdaring,
V. If. Talbird and Meade Vordicr.
fot one of these survives. John Bold
cceived a commission in the regular
,rmy for gallant conduct in Mexico; but
lied soon after in Texas. His brother
eturned to Beaufort alter tho war. shatercd
in health from hardships and cx osurc
for which he was too young, and
urvived but a few months. Talbird was
pared to enter tho Confederate service in
801 and died soon after the close of the
rar. Vtrdier settled in Florida, and
here fell a victim to fever. The Southin
States sent to Mexico many of their
erv best men. The Palmetto regiment
as officered by citizens of the .highest
osition, its colonel being an ex-governor
if our State. It will he well rcmcuiberil
how the London Times ridiculed the
all of our President for Volunteers'., yet
lie number offering far exceeded the
iniitsoftho call. The results ol that
rar, the part borne by the Southern
roops, and especially the gallantry of
lie South Carolina regiment are matters
f history.
In 1850 the question of secession from
lie Union was openly discussed in S. ('.
t large and respectable number of her
itizens boldly advocated it. The people
f the low country largely favored its
doption as a constitutional remedy, and
i this opinion Bcauihrt gave a very denied
majority. The ballot box, however,
cvcaled tlio fact that the people at large
rerc not yet ready for so decided a step,
'he majority judged it inexpedient to
tteuipt redress by ''separate state aeon,''
and, advocating the united resisincc
of the whole South, or?at least,?
f the Cotton states, under the name of
the Co-operation Party," succeeded in
rrcstiug, for the time, the purposes, and
v ?.i .t i
lid Willi mem, me uupcs ui u?i ic.-isinee
party. Many believe that the
[Tort would have resulted; at that time,
tvorably to the South. It is a question,
owever, whether the Democratic party
ould have proved any more true to the
rJhcipIcs which tliey professed than they
lbscqucutly did. State sovereignty,
icluding necessarily the right to secede,
as more than a broad plunk in their
latibrm ; it was indeed a corner-post,
ubsequcnt events demonstrated the inability,
the rottenness of the prop,
ut I forbear, and proceed, at once, to
ic events transpiring in our immediate
icinity upon the announced result of
ic presidential election in IS6O1 Allough
that election was conducted withit
suspicion of fraud, yet the choice of
ic people resulted in the elevation to
See of a candidate avowedly opposed
1 the institution oJ slavery. Such an
I
?
event had l?ccn declared b/ tliu legislatures
of more than one Slate, sufficient
cause, for sebession. Thus South Caroli
na, ever restive under aggression, was
assured of the joint action of her sister?,
and the large and influential party of
co-operationists was committed to resistance.
A constitutional convention
assembled; and, on the 2l)tli of Hoc. an
ordinance was passed declaring her connection
with the Union forever severed.
A similar step was taken, in turn, by
each of those slates which felt themselves
sufficiently aggrieved to warrant so grave
a proceeding. What was done in Ilcaufort?
Here, upon receipt of intelligence
that the ordinance had passed 111 the
convention, the excitement was wild,
bonfires were kindled, night procession
were made with transparencies revealing
select political maxims, and numerous
other demonstrations of satisfaction and
joy. Many believed that tho separation
would he peaceful; those who differed
from them as to the probable course of
the government, saw success and a
mighty future for the South at no very
great distance. The' IJcaufort Artillery
ton 'crcd their services to tho (jovcrnor
of the State, and began, at once, to prepare
for tho exigencies which might
arise. The planters sent forward genrous
contributions of labor, and defences were

Much time was spent in drill and practice,
and this company, always expert in
the service of its light battery, became
even more efficient, and inured itself to
some of ilie privations, duties and ex
posurcs incident to camp life. Major J,
(J. JJarnwell, who hail held the office of
captain for the unprecedented term of
twenty-one years, hud, some time previously
resigned his commission; and
the late, lamented General Elliott, afterwards
the heroic defender of Fort Sumter,
had been chosen bis successor.
The services of the compauy having
been accepted, and notice given to hold
itself ill readiness, it was not until the
12th, the memorable 12lli of April that
orders were received to occupy the fort.
Lieut. Johnson had been sent to Charleston
two days previously, with a requisition
for sponge-staves and other equipments.
-The order for the articles required,
was accompanied by one for the
Artillery to occupy the fort without
delay. The shipment detained him in
Charleston only long enough to witness
the attack on Eort Sumter, without
learning its result. Leaving on the
morning of the 12th, during the cannonade,
he was the first to bring to Hoaufort
the tidings of that bombardment, the incipicncy
of a future, big with great,
events. Arriving at sun set, and conveying
the intelligence to the citizens of our

arscmil opened 'accoutrcnicntns distributed
&c. And,' .at 10. 0 I', M. of the saute
day, this portion of the battery was on
its way to Fort Lyllluloo, about to enter
upon a campaign whoso-termination was
to bo as disastrous as its incipicucy and
course would bo full of glory.
Tho number was doubled in a day or
two, the equipments arrived, followed by
a supply of tents; hut, uioro than all,
news reached us on the evening of 13th,
of the fall of the fort, and that without,
loss of blood ou either part. I This was
viewed as a favorable omen, and a clear
indication that the dispute would he settled
without resort to farther hostilities.
Was the wish "farther to the thought?"
It will be 'remember d that negotiations
as well as preparations wore continued
for some time before another conflict
of arms occurred. Meanwhile our little
garrison wis Strengthened by daily
accessions, and our defences were put in
more complete condition by the labor of
our own hands : Officers and men were
eager to seize shovel, axe or hammer;
and very soon was every thing about us

I sco in your paper of 24th iast. rc 1
marks respecting the above disease- :
(live me space to say what 1 have seen ,
of it, that is, symptoms, attacks, and
treatment. llut firct I will explain what '
tho above words mean'. "Meningitis" is '
inclination of the membranes of the t
brain and spinal marrow. "Cerebrospinal"
tho arachnoid membrane of the (
brain and spinal cord. "The arachnoid
membrane' h the fine, cobweb-like '
membrane situated between the "dura'' 1
and "pia-mater." It. is thoserous mom- ?i
branc (i. e., lining cavities which are not |
externally open. They are divided into
"splanchnic serous membranes" and the
synorial membranes'') of tho cerebrospinal
centers.
'I bis definition I give so that it may i
be of use to some who would like to j
study tho disease. There are various i
kinds of meningitis, but yet they all are J
ni Sn nnn n>?ii..cf- tiint is tluii; nri'M.
natc and have their violent symptoms on
the hrain, and where the spinal cord '
commences?delirium tremens, typhoid .
fever, rheumatism, and others too nu- 1
morons to mention now.
This disease has been well known anions
the English physicians, and has been so
much allied to the typhus fever that a
porient. suffering from cerebrospinal
meningitis lias to he treated in the same
manner. It is brought on very often
throngn injudicious habits, that is, al- J
colmlic drinks, late hours, over-study or
over-working of the system in any way.
A person suffering from delirium tremens
is suffering from meningitis.
This mode of treatment, as 1 have said
previously, is like what would ho done
for typhus fever, (live a hot hath, and
then let the patient ho rubbed down the
hack by some strong liniment. Apply
counter-irritants to the back ofneck and
head. Where the pains are felt worst,
morphine should he injected, but only '
by sonic physician. No noise or any pitiful
talk, or any nctmn so as to alarm the
sufferer or rausc him to start suddenly.
There should he perfect quietness at all
times, and ever} thing done in order and
with regularity. The patient must he
made to take food to sustain the body
ami keep the interior organs in action, ~
even if surgical means have to be adopted#
Cutaneous spots?rnitut'ilrlirtmnx (
?generally attend this disease, and often ,
patients ask for what is injurious for
them. They must not ho left alone, nor
any alcoholic drinks, however mild, he
given. Acid drinks# are best, hut not
much at once.
The resources oi Egypt, especially its
production of cotton, have been generally i
but little understood, ami consequently r
the natural wealth of the country has not
been appreciated. The crop for the past
year is estimated at 200,0<)0,000 pounds.
The Egyptian fJovcrn merit, fully impressed
with the importance^ of tlio cotton
crop to Egypt's prosperity, is turning its
attention to the improvement of the cotton
lands, every year opening new channels
to facilitate irrigation, employing
steam-pumps for that purpose, and do- i
ing all in its power to make the cotton crop
a source of continual pipspcrity.
According to the American ManufActur
cr, it is claimed that coke can bo shipped
from PittBburg to Sheffield, England, at a
profit of one dollar per ton. Even the sug> j
gestion shows a remarkable revolution in
the fool question in the past few months, y
" IIAPPY HEATH."
Au interesting discussion is going on iu
le English papers, apropos of an.articlo
i a recent number of the Fortnightly Reiew
oiv justifiable suicide. The writer
Ivanced the startling proposition that
ilf-destruction, in certain cases, is not
ily rightful, but a positive act of duty,
[i corroboration of this view Prof. Frans
Newman, brother of the famous Cathoc
convert, and one of the most coiiucut
f English controversialists, writes to the
pcctator, earnestly mainfaming'the proriety
of euthanasia in certain tlileinuiav,
nd illustrating his position by forcible
samples. He instances the case of a
arty travelling rapidly through a remote
jrest or desert, in which one of them
ccouuaL suddenly exhausted. If the
est reiMiu with liiui, all hands are ccraiu
to he lost; if they leave him, he is
rpinlly certain to perish. In such .a
uandary, Prof. Newman asserts that
uicide would be not only a praisworthy
ct, hut one forced upon him as the only
K ,.? oAArifininu flin rnst. of tllfl
llUiliatlVU U? nuvnuviu^ v..v
arty as well as himself. Another ilistmtion
is that of an aged person sufTerig
froui an incurable disease, of the
ital termination of which there is no
ossibility of a douht. As ho lingers
long, he subjects tender relatives to the
anger of catching the disease, and to the
?in of their healths. Were it not botcr,
asks the Professor, that lie should
ut short his agonies, and at the same
inie relieve those about him of the eon*
ententes of their solicitude? But he
lose not projiosc that men should com*
nit suicide at their own caprice; the
ightfulness of suicide in certain extreme
ascs being once conceded, he would have
he whole thing regulated and system*
.tized by law.
As in acts of marriage, will, and additions,
a system of legal registration
hould bo instituted, with a registrar
vhosc duty it should be to inteiTogate
he would lie suicide, and ascertain berond
donht his consent to the sclf-snciliec,
as well as the onu^on of competent
ihysicians as to the hopelessness of his
naladv. Professor Newman would also
lave the principle applied to the insane,
it least those who are incurable, hut who,
n lucid intervals might he able to oomirehend
the subject, nnd give a rational
issent to a voluntary taking-off.

STRONG SOUTHERN COMPANY.
The only southern life insurance company
doing business in New York is the
Piedmont and Arlington, of Virgi in. IV
lcrthc management of Col. W. C. Carringtwn,
it is having a most successful career.
Pew companies north or south can show
?> good n business, relative, of* last year,
rhe increase of now business in 1872 over
1S71 was 412 policies, $121,824 amount
it risk, and $40,907, premiums. Its total
income receipts were $1,250,901, and
it distributed among the widows and
children of policyholders the large sum of
$336,025. Since the beginning of the
new year the rush of business has been
greater than ever, the number of policies
taken out in February alone being 435
unl the risks on theui being 81,000,000.
All this is evidence of the high estimation
in which this company is held in the
'outli, and that indorsement is sufficient
to satisfactorily eoinmend it to the patronage
of the people of other sections of
the Union.
