Until the people of the Agricultura TVntes of the South and North West Unite in the Matter of cheap .vater trans pdrtation as an indispensable mensur to free us from the tariff, railway nn< financial steals imposed by the monopol ists ot the East, just so long will tin Agricultural States of the Union Ian gnisli, and the cities of the East b Iraijt up into greater commercial propor tions at their expense. The South ant West have it in their power to releas themselves from the extortionate tri'out, levied upon their industries by tbes monopolists by establishing a commei ?enil supremacy at a port within thci own borders, of such depth of water a to ensure cheap transportation for thei products. Big ships that might requir such depth of water as only to be foun at Port Royal enn be freighted at ha! the expense of those that now can onl enter the harbor of New York, an would aggregate the enormous saving r liftv r>cr cent, to th? oi-n.iif ? ? ...w V4VU1U \JL IUC [iit ducer. A case is just cited of a Spanish stcnmf c f three thousand tons cupacity, subjects to a detention of four days at $500 a daj to comp'ete her cargo, and coaling fa below New Orleans by lighters costini the people who grew the cotton $2.00( and six cents additional oc each bushc of coal which is as much as it coasts t carry it from Pittsburg to New Orlcam ITed there been as much water at Nev Orleans as at Port Koyal instead of Reamer of three thousand tons, they migh have freighted a steamer of six tliousam tons, which would have carried the cot ton at $3 per bale, instead of $6 a bale thu3 placing $33,000 more to the credi ot the planter, or in all, $38,500. I laden with 120.000 bushels of corn, in st(ad of 80 cts. a bushel freight, a vcss? of G.000 tons would carry 240.000 bushe at 12 1-2 cents a bushel as is often don from Now York, at a clear saving to th corn growers of the West, on th one cargo, ol fully $30,000. The recuperation and building up c the South and West, lies not so much i greater production, as in deriving all th profits and benefits ol* their industcit and in saving all their resources amon; ilscinselves,-the'brokerage upon whic alone has heretofore gone to enrich th carrying trade of the East at thei expense. CLAFLIM UNIVERSITY. 1 be failure of C'laflin University, whic as been the pride of the colored peopl til* this state, is, it seems, to be anotb< illustration of the results of the gree unci recklessness of those who contn nfTuirsin South Carolina. This institi tion was purchased by Dr. Webster fc $9,000, one-third cash, and the balanc in two annual instalments. It was aftei wards transferred to the Trustees of th State Agricultural College and Mccbac ic's Institute, on the original terms. D Webstor borrowed $3,000 from Mi / Claflin, which he paid Mr. Legare, th original owner, receiving a deed i escrow and giving a bond for the balance Dr. Webster subsequently repaid Mi Claflin, and had tbl mortgage asaignci to himself. On this mortgage $2 000 o interest hns accured, and Dr. Webste threatens to forclose the mortgngo. lb institntion has received during the pat three years $11,830, of which $0,000 wer paid to Dr. WeLster for ralary as Seen retsry, $8,408 for the purchase of a farrr if and tV balance for salaries.

Howard was the most diabolical crime that has been r committed in our county since the 3 murder of Mr. Behn. It is a satisfacr tion that the murderers have been * arrested and lodged in jail, although it would have been much better, in our If opinion, bad they been carried to the y scene of the criuio and Bitot to pieces ^ without going through the formality of ,f atrial. . The story of John Snipe, the pritt r cipal in the murder, is that some ten davs hefnro the dpod finnmn n!.,.i?? w- ?v.. Mvuigg > uivnucy came to him and told liirn he must shoot " Gen. Howard, and that on the Sa'urdav r 7 . before the cilino was committed thev ^ # j both watched for their victim to go to Grnhamvillc, as Pinckney said tliut the 0 General was to receive some money, but t for some reason he did not go on that r day, thus prolonging'his life one week. Several times during the week following f Pincknej went to Snipe and urged him ^ to kill Howard and on the day before the murdcr-Friday-9nipe consented to , do so. The next morning they both | went to Grahamvillc after seeing General f Howard pass where tliey lived, and Pinckney purchased at Wall's store powder and Bhot and gave it to Snipe who had lg a gun but no ammunition. Afterwards e Pinckney told Sn;pe that he hud just e seen Gen. Howard receivj some money e atBassler's store and that he-Snipo-must goat once to the place agreed upon and ^ shoot their 4victiiu on his wuy home. Afler Snipe reached the place, which was behind the breastworks at Honey Hill, >s Fred Bright came along and seeing ^ Snipe inquired what he was doing there, to which Snipe replied that "I have come e here tg shoot General Howard." He a'so said that Pinckney had furnished the Ir powder and shot and had seen the Gen. receive some money which was to be divided between them. Bright thin jj inquired if Snipe was fool enough to kill le a man for money and Snipe said that ,r Pinckney had ordered him to do it and j I he intended in n-!-' - " u _ . ... v... oki. origin, men }j started off down the road and after goinga few steps looked back and saw ir Gen. Iloward coming over the hill in his t buggy, and, he says, he raised his hands .. to warn him of his danger but was afraid e to cry out to him for fear of being shot by Snipe. Just then Snip? jumped out T from his hiding place behind the cmr bankment and runup close behind the e buggy and fired, killing his victim Q instantly. The horse then started to run , w hen Suipe caught bold of the body and r dragged it from the buggy to the ^ ground and searching the pockets secured a pockctbook. Bright then said to 8nipe "Well now you have killed Gcucr p eral Howard what have you got for it,' (t to which Snipe answered "I have only got fifty centf, but there are a lot of , papers." Bright then went home and ( Snipe went to Grahamville leaving the y body in the middle of the road, and ? taking a roundabout way to the bakery, " i ?i ? vruere nia Dloort money was Bpeni. I Snipe also says that the fifty cents was ' divided with Pinckney who was con' coaled in the woods near the scene of p e the murder, and that they together spent 0 the money, after which they quietly % returned home no doubt well satisfied with their days work. A short time after the murder Dr. Dupont discovered the body and went j to Grahamville toSe, committed suicide at his home precisely in tba way in which, as it appAr*, the woman who died on the tSth of November on board the Cuba cajno to her end.-N.
