THE DAILY 'Let our Jutt Censure Attend tho True Event." BY J. A. SELBY. COLUMBIA, S. C.. SUNDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 9, 1870. VOL. VI-NO. 174. LABT OJ? THB BHANTLSTH MUBDERBD. We learn by a pasaonger that, on ttuudav or Monday evening last, Dr. Brantley, brothel- ol :tbe 'Winona victims; "was sitting by tho stove in tho station li on KU at Shuqualak, waiting for tho np-train. While warming himself, a negro man, employed about the depot, walked into tho roora attd remarked to tho doomed man that there was a stranger prowling about the platform with a donble-barrel gan on his shoulder, whose looks he did not like. The doctor fu?t enough inte? rest in the matter to remnrk probably that ho had better abut tho door and lower the curtain; . In a few moments, the murderer, whoever ho was, ap? proached the window, and having, it is supposed, a partial view of his victim nt the aide of the onrtain, fired through the glass and killed the object .of his hate and malice. Within a few months, this is the third brother' murdered in this way. First, the Mayor of Winona, who wns shot while Bitting in a concert room amid a crowd of men. and women. Then, the General,.who was waylaid near Winona and murdered. And lust, tho doctor whose bloodshed closes tho awful serial tragedy.--Columbus (Miss.) Index. A gentleman residing nt Bangor, Me., has had a very singular experienco in chooolate-makicg. Tho other morning be (built a fire in bis cooking stove, placed a pot of chocolate upon it, and went into the cellar to attend to tho fur? nace. After an absence of a few mo? ments he returned to find that the cho? colate had boiled over; that the "grounds" hud dried and ignited; that the ?ames therefrom had Bet tiro to thc wall-paper, and that the clothing hang? ing across the room on a wire rope had been almost entirely consumed. A MAN'S HEAD SPLIT OPEN.-A man by the name of Wesley Coppedgo was killed near the barracks, by a woman named Bernetta Helton. It seems, from her statement, that Coppedge had for some time past been making undue ad? vances toward ber, and last night, under the influenco of liquor, ho weut to whore she was stopping, and rcuowed his famil? iarities, when she seized nu ase and split his bead open, killing him instantly. [Atlanta ?Sun. CLOSE OF HUDSON RIVER NAVIGATION. The navigation of the Hudson Uiver is practically closed. The extremo cold weather of the past few days in tho Northern Biver Counties of New York has filled the river with floating ice, and navigation has become a matter of consij derable danger and difficulty. The Albany steamboats ceased running on Saturday. The Galveston Bulletin is "red hot" for Mexioan annexation, because "ne? cessity's wailing voice" calls upon us moro loudly than when wo took in Cali? fornia, and "the silver mines of three States in Mexioo will pay off our debt and leave us the richest nation on earth." The State of Pennsylvania ordered n $30,000 picture of the shooting-match at Gettysburg, and tho artists put PO much doth and fresco work into it that there isn't a room big enough belonging to thc State to stable it. They are going to build a shed for it. Tho Ku Klux aro making it lively in Sandersville, Georgia. Of 300 healthy negroes who once flourished in that com? munity, nothing is left but ono birrcl of haui-hash and a hat full of horn buttons. Now let tho Radicals como on with their sensations. Treasurer Spinner says that if the evil is not corrected by tho Government of compensating insufficiently, the time will Boon come, if not already upon us, when noue but rich men or thieves will be able to bold any public office. A frightful explosion occurred ut n cartridge factory in Birmingham, Eng? land, on the Otb. All bauds wero nt work at the time. Twenty are reported killed and thirty or forty wounded. Tho Chicago Republican, in noticing the fact that Forney offers his Washing? ton paper for sale, remarks that "there never was a time in its history that it and its editor was not for sale." A terribly destructive incendiary fire ooourred in Thomasvillc, Ga., lust week. The loss is estimated ut over $103,000. Among the buildings destroyed was the Southern Express office. When last heard from, the Chiof Jus tico of tho Supremo Court was shooting wild geese in tho ponds near Narragan? sett, thus exhibiting the living embodi? ment of a wild goose Chose. OYSTERS !
