OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. Laurens Crlca, Hitit! Nowa A fourier. Tho Straight forward declara tions of tito Bmtss|meeting of ci tisons ofLaurens County will assuredly liavo a wholesome effect. The course taken is a cheering and welcome sign of a healthy chango In public sentiment. Bhehan was acquitted in spite of Iiis own testimony. The excuse of the Jury probably was that Bishop had slandered members of Shea* bun's family, This, nevertheless, was not the Justification offerod by Sheahan himself. His plea at tho trial was that he slew Bishop in defense of his own lifo. Tills, how evcr, was glaringly inceuslstant with bis actual account of thu kill ing. The other excuse was of the flimsiest character, and woul I not have had a feathers weight with men who were resolved to maintain and enforce tho laws of the State. Whatever the pretext, the Jury found that Sheahan was not guilty; and that ends the tragedy, and should end it, so far sis lie ls con cerned. Mut the citizens of Laur ens, who defined their grievanses and announced their purposes OIL Monday, have, now called ii haltr There will be les weakness and willingness among jurors hereaft er. Laurcds, by the action of a body of its citizens, gives high and pa triotic example to nil South Caroli na. Huir?an life bas been held too cheap. Love of family-the will-j ingncss of tho falber, or bro'hoi, oi son, to sacrifice his life in upholding tho good nameoftho.se nour to him -ls traded upon by the murderer and his advocates. l oni advant age ts taken of a sacred sentiment, lio t ter ts it-according to the rn Hug practice-that ten murderers es than that one woman shall be sup pose?! to have been lightly spoken of wit h impunity. To such excess has tho evil run that it promises to work its own euro. There ure pseudo-Justifications of other kinds which aro equally shal law and unsubstantial.

Newbery ll< raid and X- i >. From the statement we llrst had of the killing,it looked very much to us like a case of wilful murder. We refrained from comment because this statement was but an ex part account. We have since seen thc account giving Mr Sheahan'* de fense, and our opinion in regard to the crime is -till that it was a cuse of murder, if it ls possible to make out a case of murder in this coun try. Mut the jury rendered a ver dict of not guilty, and thereby jus tify .Mr Sheahan in taking tho life of ?Mr Li-hop. jMr liishop was shot down hy Sheahan, who WHS armed with two pistols, and while lu-, Iiishop, was unarmed. W o not de-ire tho blood of any man, but human lite is getting to bo too cheap. It is gelling to that point that men w ho have money, and of course the Influonco winch it brings, do md mind shooting down their neighbors, for they feel that no jury will convict them of mut iler. Wo .sometimes wonder if our people are not becoming oppos* a I capital punishment any Way, We think that If our J lilies, In plain cases Of murder, would lot the peo ple know by their verdicts thal tho guilty would certainly moid the stern mandates of tho law , lhere would he few er homicides in (lu .-late.

If there is any fault to lind w ith the result of the Sheahan trial there will be no difficulty in locat ing it. The testimony was brought out very clearly; the Solicito? made ti hard tight for the State and was assisted by able counsel.
