Such are the blessings of colored matrimony. COLUMBIA ITEMS.-Bight RUT. Bishop P?rsi? co is to deliver a lecture for tho benefit of the Columbi* Ladies' Industrial Association. W. J.

P SHOCXXNO MURDER IN WILLIAMSBURG.-S. t] L M., of Kingstreo, kindly sends us the fol- * owing particulars of a recent murder: 1 "On Thursday last a most brutal murder was ^ > er pe crated in Williamsburg District, on San- 0 ;ee, a few miles north of Lenud's Ferry. It seems l* hat a man named James D. Thomas, a poor *c mt hov ust and hard working white citizen, had b >een for some time' in the habit of hauling ^ rom the woods lo the river small lots of tur- u ?entine for the freedmen in the neighborhood. E Ie had hauled some on several occasions for ^ he freedmen named respectively Wallace .Topps olio? Evans; and Thomas Graham, and ct hey having failed to pay him he had succeed- \ d iii stopping the amount due bim in the C lands of Captain Foster of the steamer which noir away the turpentine on the river. Ou O 'h art day last these freedmen and Mr. Thomas appened to meet at the steamer, where they emained till just before night, when the for- I.o 1er induced the latter to take passage with * hem in their canoe up a small creek, which uns out from the river in the direction of hoir respective homes.. After getting np the teek a short distance they turned upon Mr. ; - "bomas and brutally murdered him, and then, g? i order tu hide the awful deed they had com- L^ litte i, they 6uuk tho body in the creek and is toned it down to the bottom with a chain.

Several of those who joined have heretofore been among the most prominent and active members of the Union League. Eliphas Mulligan, who was a candidate for the Legislature at the last elec? tion, on the Radical ticket, not only joined the Club, but made a speech, avowing his dissatis? faction and disgust with tbe Radical party, and his determination to use all his efforts tor the SUCCSBS of the Democratic party. The meeting uas also addressed by Colonel Stobo Farrow and Wm. K. Blake, Esq., as well as by three colored speakers, Minor and Lee, of Columbia, and Anderson, cf Union. The meeting will be followed by similar ones throughout the dis? trict. A LIVELY TEKE LS THE MAYOB'S GOUBT. Quite a stir was occasioned upon the streets yesterday morning by the tidings that a promi? nent member o? tie bar had been arrested and 3onfined in the Guardhouse. The facts, as gathered by our reporter, are briefly these : On Monday morning an offender, charged with being drunk and disorderly, was sentenced by Mayor Clark to be fined ten dollars. Yesterday morning Colonel A- H. Brown, the attorney for the hapless individual alluded to, appeared it the Mayor's Court and asked a remission of the fine. This was refused, and the refusalled to some sharp words on the part of Colonel Brown, who declared in substance that Mayor [Hark had no rightful title to the position which he held or legal authority to impose Ines. Thereupon the Mayor, declining to du? mas the new question thus raised, requested Ooh Brown to leave the Courtroom; and, upon ii s refusal to obey, ordered his arres t. Sevev ral of the officers in attendance upon the Court forthwith seised Col. Brown, who, as it may be Imagined, was not in the most amiable mood, ind hustled him into one of the interior apart? ments of ^he Guardhouse, where he was de? tained until after the adjournment of the Court. Subsequently he re-entered the Court? room acd ar plied some harsh epithets to the police concern ed in his arrest. A complaint aas. been entered against him for abusive lan? guage towards a policeman in the discharge of | j io du ty. Tho case will be heard this morning >efore the Mayor's Court. MOSES DOES SOME GROUND AMS LORT TUMU j^i?.-A correspondent informs us that at inc Republican caucus, 'held in Columbia on Saturday niffht, for tho purpose of nominating Circuit Judges, J. J. Wright, the colored iona tor from Beaufort, was nominatod by Ban lolph, colored. The nomination was seconded n a set speech by Speaker F. J. Moses, who laid that the time had come when the colored nan should hold office, that he was prepared j ?br the issue and ready at all times to make t, and that if such a platform would cause be defeat of Grant and Colfax, he for one was ready to meet defeat. This caused some sur? prise, as when at the beginning of be.. session Whipper (colored,) nomi lated Elliott" (colored,) for Speaker, Moses riolently opposed the nomination, and said bat such measures would cost the party half a xiillion votes. The difference is that-Moees, if ter his election as Speaker, ran off to Ch arica? ron to avoid voting on the social equality bill, md then, to curry favor, cries out' in secret saucus for office for the black man, while Whip >er was open and above board, and declared in ipen session that the negroes ought to bare of loe because they had the majority and the ;reater intelligence. It is said that Moses wants to go to Congress | ?cause greenbacks are better than billa rc eiv?ble, and that DeLarge (colored) longs for f he uneasy honors of the Speaker's chair. The , ambling of Moses was agreed on by the pre- j ious pair, but will produce no effect, unless ( he doors of the circus are open when harle juin makes his appearance. THE BICE CHOP OF TRI CAB?LES AB AND : rEOBOiA. -This valuable grain, which supplies 0 important an item of food to the human 1 ace, and which is among the oldest agricultu- t al products of the State, promises, according ? D the reports received up to this time, to show j more promising yield than it has heretofore .one. since the war1. By this we do not wish it < 9 be supposed that we axe about having an j nte-war crop. It will take much time to pro- < [ace that result, and a large expenditure of api tal and labor; but we mean that the growth ; f the season will exhibit, if the weather con- < innes favorable, a very handsome increase over 1 hat of the year before. The rice estates lying f inmediately near the coast were neglected in < nany cases during the war, and the want of | aoney facilities, and the difficulties attending he management of labor since, have prevent- \ d the plantations, which bad their banks 1 nd ditches dilapidated, from being cultivated, ? nd the consequence has been that the plani? ng of the gram h is been necessarily res troted, [here is also an indisposition on the part of ? nany to incur large expenditures in the culti- E atiou of this article, fur tho reason that, ? hould Congress remove the duty, the grain t rould fall to so low a figure in the taco i if the competition of East India and other I orcign rice, that the business wjuld be ) inremunerative and would have to be largely t bandoned. With the price at present 1 iaid for labor, and the limited results ob- ? ained from it in roany cases, this argu- , sent undoubtedly has force, and it will be i ecessary for our planters to overcome the * bstacles by the use of machinery, if possible, nd the employment of only such labor as will I 1: th fully perform its work. The product of *. outh Carolina and Georgia, with the amount c rown in Louisiana, being ample for home con- a umption, the yield in this last State being re- I orted fine and abundant, there Li every pros ect that imported rice will be forced out of lie market during the coming year; and may .e not hope that thc time is not distant when u i will be found of advantage to the planter to ^ lace the large pearly grain grown on the soil f Carolina in the markets ot" the world, to ike its p!a^o ahead of all competitors ? The >llowing estimate of the growing crop has sen carefully made up, and will bo found to e as nearly reliable as such estimates usually re: r stimote of the R:u Crop of SoutK Carolina ad Oeor- C giaf.r IMS. aecamaw.
