VOLUME XI.-NUMBER 1671. CHARLESTON, WEDNESDAY" MORNING, MAY 3, 1871. EIGHT DOLLARS A YEAR. * THE COMfflG HAN! MAKING UP THE SLATE FOE THE | STATE ELECTION. "WhoShall be Nominated-The Prospecta or Orr and Cardozo-The Conserva tlve Candidates-"War Between Scala? wag and Carpet-Bagger. ?FROM OCR OWN CORRBSPONDKKT.] ON THE WINO, August 21. Previous to the overwhelming defeat ortho Radicals in Charleston your correspondent, " who has had opportunities of hearing the Tlews ot South Carolinians o? all shades in po? litics, found that little or no thought was taken in regard to the State elections next year. The Democrats or Conservatives, depressed by the defeat of the Gubernatorial ticket at the last election, deemed it almost useless to make any further opposition, wnlle the Radi? cals, relying upon their "thirty thou? sand majority" to carry the day under any and all circumstances, appeared to be dis? posed to let matters rest until the last mo? ment, and then elect any persons who may be the .(favorites of the hour. But with the Charleston election a great change ls mani? fested. The Radicals, disheartened by a defeat so unexpected and so complete in their strong? hold, are casting about for the "coming man," or mon, who will unite their factions and In? sure a victory in the gubernatorial election. The Conservatives, elated In a ratio correspon? ding to the depression of their opponents, are talking hopefully, and recognize the lact that the same self-sacrifice, zeal and determination which the Charleston i a D? exhibited, will, ir ex? ercised by the citizens ot the State next year, place as glorious a victory in their grasp. ^^Republicans, one and all, whether of the (Many black, the DeLarge brown, or the Bowen white, call for a thorough reorganiza? tion ot "the party." But then arlseB the diffi? culty: The native white Republicans, with the j majority of the negroes at their backs, clamor for a native party, and a ceneral invitation for the carpet-baggers to take a "back seat,'' and if they "do not like that to leave" the State. This element speaks favorably of ex Governor Orr as their nominee for Governor, and P. L. Cardozo, (secretary of State,) as Lieu tenant-Governor, lt ls claimed by many that so ia-as Orr is concerned his views are known, and "Barkis ?S wlUin'." But lt ls urged by some, that while the ex-Governor bas control of the wires for Scott's seat, yet he has other wires In operation tor his election to the United States Senate, as soon as elected governor. His supporters for the office of gov? ernor urge that his aspirations are a serious objection to bis nomination, as If successful it will give the control of the State to Cardozo, whom they are willing to trust with the second but not with the first place In the State. The putting forth ot the above ticket will, lt ls be? lieved, unite all factions. Orr securing the sup? port ot the whites, while Cardozo ls a sop thrown to the blacks, who, despite the laws of | the land, Insist on making distinction regard? ing color, &e. Aa belora stated^hls ticket ls spoken of by the scalawags and blacks. The carpet-baggers, who speak of the election at all, have very little to say; but many express the opinion that the attorney-general's (Cham? berlain) chances for the nomination for Gover? nor are good, and all tfieak seriously of the growing breach between the native and foreign elements of the party. They say nothing defi? nite regarding the Lieutenant-Governor's place, but deem it essential that a colored man shall be placed In nomination, and that more of the State offices be given to that race. A j few think that Pillsbury should be given some? thing to console him for the loss ot the Mayor? alty, and I doobt not that he will get quite a I number of votes In convention for the office of Lieutenant-Governor. However, If "the par-| ty" be successful be will be cared for. There ls great anxiety among all Republicans to Mcertaln from the Conservatives what man will be run for Governor. They think that General M. C. Butler will bo supported for the place, andseem to dread his nomination. They consider their chances of success very uncer? tain, unless they can so mix up the State and United Slates politics as to contuse their be? nighted followers, and thereby, while making them vote the straight Presidential ticket, la sure their votes for the straight State ticket. The Conservatives talk little of men bot much of the platform fdr the coming cam? paign. While many are in favor of an out and-out Democratic platform, the majority believe that it la the best and only secure plan to make the issue not one of politics, but, like the people of Charleston, unite the honest and good men of all shades of color and opinion, and make a grand, soUc1 attack upon the banda of maraudera who, although laden with the substance ot the good people of South Carolina, are organizing anew to se? cure another lease of the privilege of .unre? stricted robbery. Generals J. B. Kershaw. M. C. Butler and James Conner are mentioned In connection with the Governorship, bot Gen? eral Butler ls generally regarded aa the man for the place, and the only one who can lead the people to victory.

Honors to Walter Scott-The Coroner's .Jory on the Westfield Explosion-Will the Murderers be Punished.?- \ Cem? etery ander the Hammer?-What it Costs to Die in Gotham-A. Street Car and Omnibus Police Established. [FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] NET TOBE, August 16. Tue Scott centenary celebration-had the effect not only of bringing all true Scotchmen living hereabouts to Central Park; to clo hom? age to their illustrious countryman, but it stimulated many accomplishes pens to write tributes to the genial master o? historic fiction. All the leading papers had elaborate articles on Sir Walter and his works-?bme of them being as pretentious as magazine essays, and one or two being marked with much beauty of style and thought. That In the Evening Post was written by Louis Gaylord Clark, the vete? ran litterateur, and that in the World by Wil? liam B. Reed, formerly our minister to China, who is the author ol that charming collection of essays, lately published, "Among mv Books." It would have been worth while tb Scott to have lived to Parr's age, if only to be? hold how warmly and how generally his wri? tings have evoked admiration and love for him in a country which to him was almost a terra incognita, and which he touched only once, and then ever so lightly, with his pen. The coroner's Jury in the Staten Island ferry? boat case, reached a verdict this morning; and now we-want to see "what will be done about lt." They find that the accident was the result of negligence and gross Ignorance on the part of the negro engineer. Robinson, the hero of the proposition that "a vacuum is foul air," and of the culpable recklessness of the mana? gers of the ferry line, who had the hiring of employees. On the strength of the verdict the coroner ordered the arrest of the presi? dent, superintendent and engineer. It ls greatly to be feared the prosecution of these wanton assassins-for no term is too strong to describe their crlminaWv-^will prove a mere farce. The Vanderbilt* have piles of money and can afford to fight ihe courts until doomsday. It would be some satisfaction to the friends of the two hundred and odd peo? ple who were killed and mutilated, and to the public too, whoee lives are continually in dan? ger. If Captain Jake Vanderbilt and his "foul air" engineer could be sent up to the SlDg Sing stont quarry for ten years each. But nothlog will be done. The prosecution will drag along until the massacre becomes an old story, and then it will bo quietly dropped. It 1? a satis? faction to think that, when the public have been sufficiently blown up, scalded and drown? ed by the repeated efforts of steamboat corpo? rations, they will begin to get mad, and bang persons to lamp-posts. One of the most curious auction sales on record took place the other day-nothing less than a cemetery filled with dead was dis ?osed of under the auctioneer's hammer, here bas been a long litigation about the Cemetery of the Evergreens on Long Island, and lt could only be em jd by the sale at pub? lic outcry. A rich man took it a: a cool hundred thousand. I den't know If ne bought on speculation, but it ls certain tl at there is no real estate around New York which appreciates in value so rapidly BJ cemeteries. In a facetious local f>lay, produced at the Filth avenue theatre ast winter, there is a character who comes to town with a plethoric pocketbook. He asks the advice of a Wall street friend about Invest? ments, aad ls told that the best things he can put his money into are Erle preferred and graveyards. The cemetery business his been somewhat overdone, lt Is true. I knew of the lots of a new burial place which were hawked about Wall street a few years ago, without finding purchasers, and finally were used in barter and trade against patent saw gummers and non-explosive illuminating oil. Graveyards were dull that season. The best paying ceme? tery in the United States ls Greenwood. Lots 20 by 30 leet, holding twelve graces, on the main avenues, anywhere In the ianhlonable part of the grounds, are worth from ?15,000 to $20,000 each. The cheapest lots In the ceme? tery are on the onUkivts, near the fence, and are sold lor $?00, halves and quarters In pro rtlon. As to? neighborhood ot these become proved, the.,- will a : vance In value. lt costs more to die in style than to live In atyle In New York, sa} lng nothing ot the doc? tor's bill, which ?rill certainly be as heavy as the sufferer can stand. The regulation funeral ls worth somewhere between $500 and $1000. If you are particular as to tbe character ot the neighborhood In which you are to rest, you . will hardly find an eligible spot under $10,000. Greenwood has its Fifth avenue and Gram mercy Park as well as the city of the living. Your monument. If of Italian marble, and repp-.- 'ntlng a weeping figure, ls worth $3000; If a plain granite shaft, $1000. Then there are the yearly expenses of keeping the lot In order and the litigation of the heirs over your will-which is something in the pockets of the lawyers. The chances are when you are down some corporation will get a charter from the Legislature to run a rail? road through the graveyard, and thus Involve your estate in the expenses of a fresh funeral. Let the grumblers say what they will about the pecuniary transactions of the "ring," lt cannot be denied that New York is having better government now than ever before. Per? haps, as has been suggested, Messrs. Sweeney, Tweed and Connolly are trying now to gltfe us the worth of our money. It ls without ques? tion that the departments ol oollce, health, education and public parks are being well ad? ministered. Tne efficiency of the police Is conspicuous. The newest idea for the protec? tion and comfort of the public has just been promulgated. The board bas ordered that a 3rectal squad of patrolmen shall be stationed ong the street car routes, whose duty shall be to eject and arrest all drunken and disor? derly persons who attempt to ride In the cars. The Broadway stages are to be subjected to the same surveillance. Habitual travellers In the New York cars and Omnibusses will know how to appreciate this Interference in their behalf by the police. The recent cases ot the Putnam, Deltour, and Owensfstreet car murders, show how lax the conductors are in enforcing the rules of the company about disorderly passengers. On some of the routes one can hardly ride with? out being- subjected to the abuse or at least the offensive presence of some drunken ruffian. Ladies are leered at or spoken to, and sometimes the fellows squeeze themselves Into seats beside ladies, so as to be abie to Eress against them. The stages are infested y another 'class-well-dressed scoundrels whose only occupation seems to be to annoy females by words or actions. AU such are to receive the attentions ot the police. A night in the cell, or. what ls better, a week on the island In stripes and short hair, will go a great ways towards curing them of their propensity to roam in the public conveyances. NTM. THE BLUE RIDGE ROAD. Ring Oat the New-Ring in the Old. A correspondent at Walhalla, writing on the 13th, Bays: I understand that the "new route" of the Blue Ridge Railroad, upon which the engi? neer spent much time, aad which was to save a large amount ot money In the construction ol the road, has been abandoned. They now run another line between the "old" and "new." but it ls quite probable that the "old" will prove the best and the cheapest route. But so long as the present administration continues no confidence is felt here that anything of moment will be done beyond the furtherance of individual speculations. THINGS IN NEW TORE. NEW YORK, August 21. A family of six persons have been poisoned tn eating fish caught near a wreck. It ls sup? posed the fish were impregnated with copper. The symptoms are similar to poisoning from strychnine. The Ward Hospital In Centre street, Newark, ls burner'.. Loss $80,000. The owner, captain and engineer of the ex? ploded tug Starbuck have disappeared. The boiler contains fifteen large patches and a seven Inch crack on the inside. The Fenians will Join the proposed Italian procession If other nationalities are allowed to participate. The City or Brussels arrived out In eight days and thirteen hours. AFFAIRS IN BEAUFORT. COURT WEEK-TWO AGGRAVATED MURDER CASES. How the Old Town Looks-Cantes of Its Dilapidation-Tile Saxton Ho mt-Port Royal Railroad-Phosphate* and Crops. [FROM OCR OWN CORRESPONDENT.j BEAUFORT, S. C., August 18. Court week is always a busy time in Beau? lort; but that which has Just gone was marked by more than usual interest-tbe occasion being a special term of the General Sessions. Judge Thomas (a son of your city treasurer) presided, and under his prompt administra? tion the docket was speedily cleared, and the Jail delivered of its multitude of prisoners. All of the latter were colored, and lt is a singular and eignincant fact that they were lound guilty in almost every in? stance by purely colored Juries, but one or two of whnm could read or write. Their verdicts gave general satisfaction because they were Just, in the main, aud the community breathe more freely at the prospect of being rid ot several first-class scoundrels. Two aggravated cases ot murder were tried. The first was that of Andrew Rhett, who withouL provocation beat an old man to death with a cudgel, aud since that time has been unques? tionably insane. It was shown that two or three days before the murder his lunacy de? veloped itself in various ways, and he was on the eve ol being confined by his irlends when he disappeared from Hilton Head, and crossed to one of the neighboring Islands where the deed was committed. He was found guilty and wili be sent to the Insane Asylum at Co? lumbia. The other case was that ol Simpson, a lad ot eighteen, who, after being badly oeaten, chop? ped a big hole In tire head of his antagonist with an axe, from the effect of which he died. The boy was sentenced to be bung on the first Friday in October, but, in view of several mitigating circumstances, it ls probable that the Governor will commute the sentence and order him to the penitentiary for life. A gang of burglars on St. Helena island, who lor seve? ral months have been plundering the stores ol Northeru men lo that neighborhood, were also summarily disposed ot tor a term of years with? in the stone walls at Columbia. The only white person tried was a pilot, charged with violat? ing the quarantine at St. Helena Sound, by leaving a vessel contrary to the orders of the port physician. The jury, found bim guilty of a misdemeanor, but the question was ingeniously raised by Mr. Vf. J. Whipper, bis counsel, tbat no authority ex? isted lo law for the establishment of quaran? tine at that point or any other save Charleston, Georgetown and Hilton Head. He therefore appealed, and the question, which ls a novel one, will be decided by the Supreme Court. Colonel Wm. Elliott, who, at ine request of the Judge, represented the State, admirably reviewed the statutes on the subject, and showed that, while there may be no direct authority tor the establishment of a quaran? tine at other than the points named, the whole spirit ot ibe legislation on the subject demon? strated conclusively that the Governor could, by proclamation, or by order to a port physi? cian, extend quarantine regulations to any point on the coast. Beaufort has undergone much change, but little Improvement. The vexed question of tax titles still being undetermined, the origi? nal owners of property are simply "trying their souls in pa tie u ce," while those who oc? cupy premises feel their hold upon them to be too insecure to warrant the expenditure of touch money tn repairs. Scores ot bouses which once were happy abodes are now mere skeletons tumbllug into ruins, or else are* filled with squalid squatters whose diet vibrates between fish and watermelons. Tue Northern residents are thrifty, and ap? parently well to do. The entire trade ot the iowa, wltb few exceptions, ls In their hands, and their dusky customers Hock hither, from many miles around, to find a market lor gar? den truck, aud purchase the cheap finery o? the stores. The Saxton House here ls one of the best In the Stale. It ls a large airy man? sion, (best known to the old citizens as the Hey ward House,) and under the admirable management of Mr. M. M. Ktngman. the pro? prietor, lt ls a decided success. Facing the sea, Its broad double piazzas command a view of the adjacent islands and the approaches to the town.. The table ls all that can be desired, and it id in truth as pleasant a caravansary as attracts the summer sojourner anywhere. The customhouse here Muds am pie employ? ment In looking after tai Interests of U. d. involved in the shipping of phosphates trom Bull Elver and neighborhood. On almost any trip ot the Pilot Boy-a charming way to reach Beaufort when Captain McNelty Is on board you may count lrom five to a dozen ships load? ing wita the crude rock, all bound for Great Britain. When the tide ls low you may also see half a thousand Ethiopians, waist deep in water, digging the phosphates and tilling fiats. It ls said that the business ls not as prod cable as formerly ja account 01 the competition. The famous Port Boyal Railroad now bids lair to be completed . " in early day. The Iron tor the track ls en ?oute, and len ml!es will finish the road from Beaufort to Yemas see, on the Savannah and Charleston Railroad. The bridges are ready for the rails, and the largest part of the route ls graded- Tue new company have $1,500,000 with wh len lo oper? ate, and what ls equally Important, the deter? mination to complete the undertaking In the shortest time possible. The Immense wharves erected at Battery Point, the terminus of ihe road, show that a large amount of shipping is expected, and it may prove true that tne next quarter of a cen? tury will add another to our dst of Carolina towns. The crop of the county does not promise favorable results, lt ls impracticable to go Into details, because so many hundreds of the colored people Have planted cotton In patches, the aggregate of whljb would swell the usual supply largely, If the weather were favorable. Corn has been abundantly planted, and with rice, constitutes, so tar, the only "friends In need'' that ene can really swear by. DAISY. TUE ROGUES FALLING OUT. New Developments In the New Orleans Maddie. WASHINGTON, August 21. Thomas W. Conway, signing himself State superintendent of publications for Louisiana, publishes a long letter to the President, where? in, alter alluding at length to his services to th? Republican party as an excuse tor his bold? ness, he proceeds to narrate that on his way from New Orleans as the bearer of dispatches from Casey, Packard and others, to the Presi? dent, he read the dispatches to the passengers. Conway Impeaches the truthfulness ot Casey, Packard, Lowell and the rest, and concludes as follows: "No act of your administration will give more satisfaction to the men who voted for you and made you President than would the removal of the officials who have perpe? trated the outrage in " question, and nothing short of their displacement will save the Re? publican party from defeat in the coming cam? paign.'* ATTEMPTED SUICIDE OF H EL ii H O LD. He Tries Twice to Blow his Brains Ont -Falls because he is too Short-A Les? son for Little Men. Loxa BRANCH, August 21. At about nine o'clock thia morning, Dr. H. T. Heimbold attempted to commit suicide by blowing his brains out. He borrowed a double barrelled shot gun, hired a carriage with a colored driver, and started out towards the sea to shoot on the meadowlands. Just be? low the Arlington House he got out of the carriage, placed the gun under his chin, and fired; but being a small man the effort to pull the trigger caused his hand to move the barrel of the gun forward, and his face was only in? jured. In his desoeration he repeated the ex? periment, but with the same result; and the driver, who in the meantime had rushed to him, caught him fainting and bleeding in his arms, and brought him to the Arcade Hotel, whence he was taken home. Dr. Helmbold himself, however, telegraphs to New York City, to-night, that while out gunning this mornlDg his fowling piece was accidentally discharged, but without Injuring him.
