Witness: and company took seats on the opposite side of the table. Montgomery asked them to take dinner with him; witness declined, saying they had ordered dinner. Montgomery ordered drinks, and witness thinks the waiter went out to get them. Just then the dining room door was opened by Judge Melton. He pulled the door open, stepped back and closed the door; he opened the door again ; think he had an umbrella in his hand; he leaned the umbrella in the corner and walked up to the table on the same side Montgomery was on. He walked up to Montgomery, who was sitting in his chair, and caught Montgomery around the neck with his left arm; he struck Montgomery two blows in the mouth and they went to the floor; j about this time the deceased and Major Mor-1 gan came in the door that Judge Melton had entered at; did not see Tupper when he got l J .1 T up; saw aeceaseu aim jmppei gia^pic caii-.i other; Morgan was behind deceased; in the scuffle between deceased and Tupper, heard two pistol shots fired in quick succession ; saw deceased turn around and stagger toward the ; table, and he fell over Melton and Montgom-: ery, who were still on the floor. Morgan I and Tupper then grappled; whilst they were j grappling, saw a pistol in the hand of one of them ; cannot say which ; they went out of the side door together whilst fighting. Witness then left the room. MAJOR THEODORE STARK SWORX. Heard two pistol shots while he was outside, and one after he got into the front door; when he entered the room saw Caldwell lying dead ; Montgomery and Melton were fighting when witness went in ; pulled them apart ; there were three shots fired. THE VERDICT. The jury rendered the following verdict : "The aforesaid George E. Tupper, in manner and form aforesaid, John D. Caldwell then and there feloniously did kill against nM/w onrl flinn!^ ftf thn Stilffl." bUO WUU VliguiHj V* THE PARTIES. Captain John Caldwell was a native of this city, about thirty-one years of age, and served gallantly through the late war. He was a son of the late John Caldwell, Esq., and brother-in-law of United States Senator Robertson. He leaves a wife, two children, mother, sisters, brother, and a host of other relatives. The wife has the undivided sympathy of every one, in this, her tripple affliction, having, within the past year, and while the husband was beyond the reach of communication by mail or telegraph, lost two lovely children within a few days' time. Her grief when the news was broken to her by friends, was overwhelming. The genial disposition of the deceased had won him hosts of friends who were, in this trying ordeal, friends indeed. Major James M. Morgan, who, with Mr. Caldwell entered the dining hall to prevent the difficulty, and who was severely wounded in the shoulder, we believe, was also an officer in the Confederate array, and is a citizen of good repute everywhere. George Tupper was ?' owmtr n nrl aigu UU ULUUCI 1U llic vuuicuciatc anujr, auu moved to this city from Charleston about two years ago, since which time he has been engaged in the insurance business to some extent. Mr. Charles W. Montgomery is a native of Charleston and a resident of Newberry county, and for several years president pro tern of the State Senate. The Phoenix, of Tuesday, in relation to the arrest of the parties, says: "A short time after the sad termination of the recontre, Capt. Geo. Tupper, Major Morgan and Mr. Montgomery were arrested and confined. Maj. Morgan was released after a short detention. Mr. Montgomery was released the next morning. Judge Melton was arrested, but was almost immediately released by Sheriff Frazee. And here we would inquire into the justice of a proceeding whereby Mr. Monteromerv. the party assailed, was con fined, and Judge Melton, the assailant, was released by the Sheriff. A high judicial officer is as amenable to the law as the humblest citizen; and the same form of procedure that would govern an arrest for a violation of the peace by the latter should also apply to the former. "We learn from Coroner Coleman that Judge Melton addressed him a note, stating that he (the Judge) was the aggressor, and that Mr. Montgomery was illegally under arrest." From the Cuarleston News. THE PHOSPHATE BILL. judge melton's reply to mr. tomlinson's letter. Spartanburg, C. H., Sept. 14,1872. A severe illness of several days since my return from the low-country has prevented a prompt reply to the communication in your issue of the 9th instant, over the signature of Reuben Tomlinson. I have to regret, too, that in the absence from Columbia of several parties engaged in the campaign, ray response cannot be made as complete as the facts will warrant. The supplement must appear hereafter. In the communication reference is made to me in these words: "Mr. Melton is represented as saying at Yorkville that he had been told (and would give his authority if Mr. Tomlinson asked for it) that he (Tomlinson) had borrowed the money, or endorsed a note at the bank to get the money, which was used for the purpose of passing the phosphate bill through. In reply I have to say that there is absolutely not the shadow of truth in the statement." It is sufficient to say, as I do, that I have not, at Yorkville or elsewhere, made any such statement; nor had I heard of such charge against Mr. Tomlinson until it was stated in his card. Possibly his actual knowledge of the transaction mav have suceested it. It is probable, however, that he has found it necessary to resort to that weakest of all lines of defence, and has "put up a man of straw, to knock it down." He might as well have represented me as charging that he had "stolen a horse or robbed a bank," and then proceeded to deny it. What I did say at Yorkville and repeat in Charleston is this: IVhen the phosphate bill, was unexpectedly vetoed by the Governor, the lobby-agent whom the friends of the measure had employed to secure its passage by bribery, found himself without sufficient funds to carry the bill over the veto, and resorted to empty promises. This form of bribery certain Senators refused to accept; and Mr. Tomlinson, in order to procure their votes, pledged to them his personal faith that the bribes would be promptly paid. That he borrowed money, or endorsed paper to this end, let me repeal, I have not been informed, and I have never so charged. It was distinctly announced that the statement was not made upon my personal responsibility, and that if Mr. Tomlinson should deny it, I would cheerfully give the authority upon which it was based. At the Yorkville meeting Mr. Corbin was present, and in behalf of his candidate undertook to deny the charge; whereupon Mr. F. L. Cardozo, from whom the information came to me, assumed the responsibility, and represented to the meeting that he had it from Mr. Tomlinson himself. ! >v nen tne statement snail be denied by Mr.; Tomlinson, if at all, he will have the advan- j tage of knowing whence it came. But I have ; every reason to believe that, when his card | was written, he knew the authority and the j exact purport of the charge against him. Apart from this direct testimony, the charge derives probability from his connection with the scheme. I take it, Mr. Tomlinson will not deny that he strenuously advocated the ! bill, and used his position on the floor to pro-1 mote it; that he was the mouthpiece of Gov. i Scott's administration in the House ; and be-1 cause the Governor dared to veto the bill, he i at once discontinued this relation ; that he I knew the measure was secured by means of direct and shameless bribery, thereby debauch-! ing the representatives of the people, and ; bringing reproach upon the Republican party and upon the State ; that coming into this State a poor young man, he nevertheless became the owner of about two hundred shares, at fifty dollars cash per share, and that he found abundant comfort, besides, in the office { of treasurer and manager of the company, at ! a salary of four thousand dollars per annum ! Between this and the charge Mr. Cardozo has made, there is not, I submit, a far remove. ' That "some of the most honorable business j men in Charleston" own stock in the company, and that under his management the dividends ! have not been remunerative, does not affect I the morality of the transaction. I It was due to you, gentlemen, as well as to i myself to make this reply, notwithstanding the gratuitous allusions to myself personally, | contained in Mr. Toralinson's card. It is one of the evils which now beset us that we are forced into contact with men bred and trained i i i i*i *j in that peculiar creed, wnicn, wnue it permits the most waDton attack, furnishes a shield behind which to shriuk from the responsibility of a gentleman. Very respectfully yours, Sam'l w. Melton. ? ? ? Eight at a Birth.?The Cincinnati Lancet and Observer gives publicity to the following, which is the most remarkable event that ever transpired in this or any other country, in the way of births : "On the 21st of August, Mrs. Timothy Bradlee, of Trumbull county gave birth to eight children?three boys and five girls. They are all living and are healthy, but are quite small. Mrs. Bradlee was married six years ago to Eunice Mowery, who weighed 272 pounds on the day of her marriage. She has given birth to two pairs of twins, and now eight more, making twelve children in six years. Mrs. Bradlee was a triplet, her mother and father both being twins, and her grandmother the mother of five pairs of twins. 4 ? Bottles Full of Beauty.?Ladies, if yo would have beauty by the bottle-full, all you have to do is to purchase H-Acan's Magnolia Balm. That peerless beajtifier of the complexion not only heightens natural charms, but renders even the plainest countenance exceedingly attractive. It recalls to the pallid cheek the rosy tinge of health, removes pimples, blotches, roughness, sallowness and other blemishes, and imparts to the skin a most delicate fairness and softness. It smooths the furrows caused by time or care, and gives face, neck and arms the plump and engagingappearance of youthful beauty. All this is accomplished by the most natural means, viz: by gently and naturally stimulating the circulation in the capillary blood vessels. Besides being the most effectual aid to beauty known to modern science. PIMPLES, ERUPTIONS, ROUGH SKIN. The system being put under the influence of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery for a few weeks, the skin becomes smooth, clear, soft and velvety, and being illuminated with the glow of perfect health from within, true beauty stands forth in all its glory. Nothing * * ? Li? i v ever presented to tne puDiic as a ueuuuuei ua the complexion ever gave such satisfaction for this purpose as this Discovery. The effects of all medicine which operate upon the system through the medium of the blood are necessarily somewhat slow, no matter how good the remedy employed. While one to three bottles clear the skin of pimples, blotches, eruptions, yellow spots, comedones or "grubs," a dozen may possibly be required to cure some cases where the system is rotten with scrofulous or virulent blood poisons. The cure of all these diseases, however, from the common pimple to the worst scrofula, is with the use of this most potent agent, only matter of time. Sold by all druggists. Jfiromtial anb Communal.
