pa^ttrt on Saturday, having left New York on
^\Vednesday afternoon last-thus making the
trip in the rapid time of about seventy-two
hours. The Virginia brings a valuable gene?
ral cargo to our city merchants.
DISOROERLT.-Jennie Toomer and Fannie
Faker, two colored girls, were arrested on
Saturday night, charged with keeping a riot?
ous and disorderly bouse in Church street. An
officer was passing along the street, and the
two women, to gratify an old leud. poked '
their heads out of their window and abused
bim in the most unqualified term?. They are
held for trial this morning before the Mayor.
THE SUDDEN TUMBLE OF NEW STATE BONDS
The New York Herald, ol Friday last, tn its re?
view of the stock market on the preceding day,
says :
The Southern State bonds were heavy and
lower under the depressing Influence ol a sharp
decline In the new South Carolina sixes, which
Iel! from 54* to 50, rallying to 52. Ihe cause
oi this decline was the peremptory sale ot a
lai?e amount of the bonds which had been hy
p .iiiecated for borrowed money, which the
uorrowcT could not return on demand.
USING HIS KNIFE.-Ned Russell and John
Brown, two colored youth?, quarrelled about
some trivial matters on Friday night, in Co?
lumbus street, near the railroad track. They
soon came to blow.?, and daring the fight Rus?
sell drew his pocket-knife and stabbed Brown
la trie right cheek, giving bin a severe gash.
Brown yelled for the police, who quickly
came to the rescue, and carried the two com?
batants to the Guardhouse. They were brought
before tbe Mayor next morning, and Russell
was sent to the House of Correction-for twen
J^y days. Brown got off with ten days and the
cat la his cheek.
SAILING OF THE GEORGIA.-This capacious
Iron steamship sailed on Saturday for New
York with a full cargo o? cotton, rice, nava,
stores, Ac. The steamships oi this line mark
the progress of the. colton movement. Begin?
ning early in the mon:h with OM thousand
bales, lt shows weekly ngaree of twelve hun?
dred, fourteen hundred and now sixteen hun?
dred bajes; so that at the same steady ratio ot
increase we expect to see a repetition of last
year's twenty-five hundred bale cargoes, which
made the Iron Line lamons in the coastwise
trade. Ia spite ol prejudicial rumors, this pott
shows favorable shipping figures, being noted
last week, as on several previous weekly cot?
ton bulletins, as second only to New Orleans in
colton receipts.
THE COLUMBIA RING.-From the Columbia
Phoenix we gather that :
1. The committee of the Board of Trade have
been allowed to have access to the pians and
specifications of the City Hall and the new
market. In the case of the City Hall, the con?
dition is annexed that Mr. Parkins be present,
and that the committee of the Board of Trade
pay his expet ses io Columbia. The committee
ol the Board of Trade accepted the offer. Cap?
tain J. C. Bell and Messrs. Fry and Troy-all
experienced builders-have been requested lo
assist the committee In making an estimate of j
the new marker.
2. Mr. James M. Allen offers to sell out his
contract lor $25,000. The Phoenix adds :
We, at least, have no desire to buy Mr. Allen
our. We hope to make his shoes HO bot that
no other man would like to put his feet in
them.
3. Cornpi roller-General J. L. Nengle has now
with him iu New York $250,000 worth of new
bonds of Columbia City, 'ssued to him lor the
loan ol $75,000 to the city council. These
bonds have been surreptitiously issued, and.
thus far, no announcement of the fact has been
made by thc authorities.
TUE CHRIST CHCRCU MORDER-ANOTHER IX
QUEST.-Owing to certain informalities In the
oroceedlogs, and the want of authority on the
l^rtof Trial Justice Kinloch to hold the in?
quest, Coroner A. M. Maskey repaired on Fri?
day to the Bermuda Plantation, in Christ
Church Parish, the scene of the murder, lor
the purpose ol holding an Inquest over the
body of Peter Johnson, the murdered ireed
man. The body, which had been buried since
Tuesday, was exhumed, and a post-mortem
examination held by Dr J. E Dawson, of I
Mount Pleasant. The wound was, as belore
stated, a round hole in the lea side, between
the hip and lower rib, which must have caused
his death in a short time. The grudge spoken
of as existing between the two men
was owing to the fact that Johnson bad
formerly been Mr. Heath's foreman, but
was recently superseded by Davenport.
About three weeks since the two men had
quarrelled in reference to cotton-picking, and
on examination it was found, as usual, that a
woman was at the bottom ol the affair, and
jealousy had doubtless a good deal to do with
the consequent crime. Susan Vanderhorst
testified also, that OB tbe night of tbe murder
she had heard the deceased and Davenport
quarrelling again, a lew minutes before the
gun was dlschaiged. No other evidence of
importance was elicited. The Jury rendered
a verdict that the deceased came to his death,
oa the night of the 24th Instant, from the ef?
fects of a gunshot wound produced by a gun
in the bands of James Davenport. AU search
for Davenport has hitherto proved futile, and
he is still at large.
At the Inquest previously held in the case,
by Trial Justice Kinloch, the Jury returned ..
similar verdict, and the reason why this lc
?best was not held legal, was that Mr. Kin?
loch had not been deputized by the coroner,
and the law only empowers a trial justice to
bold an Inquest on pressing occasions, and
when the coroner Is more thoo fifteen miles
distant lrom the phv:e of tbe death.

Howard Association.
The executive board met on Saturday last,
and the lollowlng report of a special commit?
tee was offered:
The committee appointed to consider the
expediency ot opening a ward in the Hoper
Hospital for the reception and treatment of
patients under the care of the Howard Asso?
ciation, and to confer with the trustees ol the
Roper Hospital upon the feasibility of doing
so, report that oo Friday afternoon, the 29lh or
September, ultimo, they met the trusteed of
the hospital. The trustees generously offered
the use ot a ward In the hospital, with bede,
bedding and 'urniture sufficient for about
twenty-five patients, should lt ba deemed ex?
pedient by the association to open Btioh ward,
and at the same time expressed a regret that
under certain legal proceedings the trustees
were enjoined lrom using the funds, aud
hence they could not offer to bear any part ot
the expenses.
The committee, after such conference, met
and considered the question ol the expediency
of opening such a ward, and are unanimously
ol opinion that, at present, such course ls not
<. vedient. Many reasons could be assigned
lo: ?he conclusion at which the committee lias
arri.sd; but the fact ihat, in the opinion of
**- committee, there ls no need for it, will
suffice.
The committee recommend the adoption ol
the appended resolutions.
Respectfully submitted,
S. A. NELSON,
BENJAMIN F. EVANS,
THOMAS M. HANCKEL,
WILLIAM 0. WUILDBN.
Resolved, That In the opinion of the execu?
tive committee there is no present necessity
lor opening a ward in the Roper Hospital for
the reception and altendance upon patients
under care of Ihe Howard Association.
Resolved, That the lhatiks of the executive
committee are gratefully returned to the trus?
tees ol the Roper Hospital for their generous
tender of the use of a ward In said hospital.
Hie reportantl resolutions were then unani?
mously adopted.
DEATH OF THE REV. T. WILLARD LEWIS.
This gentleman died on Saturday last, on Sul?
livan's Island, where he had been temporarily
sojourning, and was buried yesterday. His re?
mains, which had been brought over from ihe
island in a small boat, were met at Moreland's
wharf and escorted to Hie Centenary Church in
Wentworth street, where the funeral took
place. The services were conducted by the
Rev. W. Weston and were attended by an im?
mense crowd. The church was heavily draped
in mourning, and much feeling was manifested
by the congregation as the Impressive cere?
mony proceede.3. At the conclusion the re?
mains were escorted up to the Magnolia Ceme?
tery and there Interred iu a lot bought for ibe
purpose by the congregation ol his church.
The procession was one of the largest ever
seen in the city, and the Immense numbers
who followed the remains lo the cemetery, to?
gether with the numerous vehicles of all de?
scriptions, showed in what high esteem the
deceased was held among the colored portion
ol our community.
Mr. Lewis was a minister ol the Methodist
Eplscor al Church (North,) a native of Massa?
chusetts, and a member of the New England
Conference. He had been here ever since the
war, laboring among the colored people. In
politics he was an extreme Republican, and
came to the South fully imbued with all the
prejudices of an original Abolitionist; and, to
do him justice, he retained most of these prej?
udices to the day ol his death. From the very
nature of his position, he was thrown into an?
tagonism with existing ecclesiastical organiza?
tions here, and it was chiefly owing to this
that he formed but few social ties during his
six or seven years' residence in South Caro?
lina. Those who knew him best, how?
ever, speak of him ia terms of the nigh?
est praise-believing him to have been
a true man, a pi ou* Christian, and a
zealous minister of the Gospel. He enjoyed
1836. 1858. 1871.

unbounded confidence among the colored peo?
ple, and founded a number of churches both In
this city and in other parts of the State. Both
'.Centennary Church," in Wentworth street,
and "Claflin University,"' in Oracgebur.'. owe
their origin largely to his individual efforts.
To all intents and purposes he was a mission?
ary in partibus, for In his eyes, and in the eyes
of those who 6ent him, we were all heathens.
He had generally spent his summers hereto
lore at the North, but this year he would not
go, because he deemed it his duty to remain at
his post. Although we could not agree with
him in many ot his one-sided views, we can
honor bia manhood, and his Christian courage
and fidelity, and chronicle with real regret his
untimely IOSB.
TUE FORT JOHNSON TRAGEDY-DEATH OF THE
VICTIM AND INQUEST.-Simon Grant, the col?
ored man who was found with his bead broken
in, lying beside a flat on the beach at Fort
Johnson, last Sunday morning, died on Fri?
day night, at a quarter-past 7 o'clock, at the
City Hospital. Since he was brought to the
hospital, on Monday last, the unfortunate
man has lain in a state of stupor, and died at
length without having once been conscious or
able to speak and clear up the mystery attend?
ing the affair. A jury of Inquest was impan?
elled by Coroner Mackey next morning for the
investigation of the case. Grant had been
living on the plantation of Mr. John B. Bee,
on Goosecreek, which place he left on the 19th
Instant, with a flat load of wood for
this city, managing the flit himself. He
nrrived safely, landed at Gadsden's wharf,
sold his wood, and started on bis return home
on Saturday night in company with Moses
Washington. The finding of his body next
morning on the beach has been already de?
scribed. What occurred In the interval ol'
their leaving tl e Spanish vessel and the find?
ing of the body has not been explained, and
there ls nothing to account for it but the
evidence ot the prisoner, Moses Washington,
Hftr companion of the deceased in the flat, who
ls now held lor examination on the cha^e 0r
murder. It being necessary to summon seve?
ral witnesses from James Island, the further
examination before the inquest was postponed
until 10 o'ciock this morning. A post-mortem
examination of the deceased has been held,
and the result will also be given beiore the
jury of Inquest this morning.

TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.
At a meeting of Washington Lodge. No. 1,
I. 0. G. T., held on WedLesday, September
27lh, the following preamble and resolutions
were adopted :
When death strikes down a member of a
society and removes from amongst his col?
leagues one whom long and familiar associa?
tion has endeared to them, the broken lies of
individual lriendship awaken sorrow and grief
in the hearts of the survivors ; but when one is
taken away from us whom we knew but as a
stranger in a strange lund, until that portal
was passed which brought him within the pale
of our order, only a few momba ago, and ere
we had opportunity ol' knowing him well, we
are necessarily most Impressed with the mel?
ancholy circumstance of his dying lar from his
home and those to whom he was bound by
lieB of kindred, while we cannot but feel
gratelul that we, as Good Templars, have been
permitted to extend to him, In bis last days,
the friendly hand and hearty sympathy of
brothers. Therefore, be it
Resolved, That in the death of Brother
George Killson, who died of j ello w fever on
the 23d of September, 1871, Washington Lodge,
No. 1,1. 0. of G. T., has been deprived of a
brother whom we shall hold in remembrance,
because In his connection with the lodge and
early death iherealter has exemplified Hie
highest beneficence ot' our Institution.
Resolved, That we are reminded by his re?
moval of the Insecure tenure of life, and that
we should, therefore, the more carefully show
ourselves to be true Good Templars, lhat death
?r-.ay not come upon us while our work is un?
finished, and that we may meet in "good
standing'' in the Grand Lodge on High, there
to dweliforever In ialth, hope and charity.
Resolved, That we deeply sympathize with
his bereaved parents, sisters and brothers in
their great affliction, and tender to them as a
