Taft, the wall known Repsb- Hena pelitieian of Chnrlantea, died aenr Te on Frldny. He held many hij in the Stele daring tka DARLINGTON GREATLY HONORED Aa we go to press the intelligence is received that Gove.'uor Richard* sou has appointed Col E. R Me Iver to the office of State Treasurer, recently made vacant by tbe death of Hon. 1. 8. Bamberg. No better man could have been selected for tbe position, aud Darlington feels honored at this just tribute to tbe worth of one of her most dieting nisbed sons. A REMARKABLE COINCIDENCE- Tbe trial of Dr. T. B. McDow for the killii.g of Capt. F. W. Dawson waa begun on Monday morning last, and will probably consume tbe en tire week. Tbe State closed its case on Tuesday night, snd the defence began yesterday morning. Tbe circumstances of tbe case go to make this trial the most interesting which has occurred in South Caro lina since the war, and everyday tbe court room is packed to suffo cation, Tbe principal point relied upon by the State to convict tbe defendant of morder is tbe alleged faotef hia having attempted to bury tbe body under tbe flooring of a closet in his office shortly after tbe homicide was committed, and considerable testimony leading to tbe confirmation of that theory has been adduced. Tue composition of tbe jnry is most remarkable, in that seven of its twelve members are eolored. The original ventre of 36 which was drawn for service at this term of tbe Court was also composed to a large extent of colored men. 8ncb a state of things has not occurred before in thin State since 1876. As there are 34 comities in tbe State, in each of which Court is held at least three times a year, and as thirteen y ears have elapsed since 1876, this ia tbe first time in 1326 terms of Court that tbe ventre con. taiued so large a proportion of col ored men. That tbe particular jury which is trying Dr. McDow sbonld also have be jo so selected a 4 to contain a majotity of the former race, ia certainly a remarkable co incidence when cousidered in con nection with tbe fact that for sev eral mouths prior to Capt. Dawson’s death the colored people of Charles ton had been conducting a most bitter and systematic boycott against him aud bis paper, on ac count of a statement he had made editorially reflecting upon tbe mor al condition of the females of their race. ANOTHER WISE SELECTION. The President, on Friday, ap pointed George 1. Cunningham Marshal for the District of South Carolina. This is, in view of the fact that only a Republican would be chosen, a good appointment and, in making it, Mr. Harrison has followed tbe same tenor aa he did io tbe selection of Mr. ^atbrop, to be District Attorney, namely, in again ignoring tbe old ,( deep in tbe dye” negro Republicans with tbei r palavering, cringing while asso dales, of whom Bray ton ia a fair type, and in relegating to the back- woods, from whence it came, the hungry, office seeking Independent horde. Mr. Cunningham, in spite of the fact that he ia “an out and out” Republican and that he held more over the position of Mayor of Char, leston during negro rule, is said to be personally an honest man. Though be figured in politics when tbe whole of the political atmos phere was charged with corruption, fraud aud briUry, y et no one ever laid at hia door a suspicion of per sonal participation iu crime of any sort. For that reason, and because he did cot seek the Marahalabip, we accept him as the beat to be had from the Republican ranks. In the appointment of Messrs. Latbrop and Cunningham the Pres ideot has exhibited remarkable as tuteness, and hia action will un doubtedly redound to hit credit. But these appointments do not suit either wing of onr office neck ing ootertfc The appointees are far nol .-ecuiing ihcDivtnct Atluruey ship.

Hav iug iHtablished lhia premise, as they think satisfactorily, the com. mittee next claim that jute bagging is tbe kind needed for this purpose, because it has tbe necessary weight aud at the same time is the cheap est bagging to be obtained. All this is very nice snd clever but fortunately tbe farmer does not look upon this matter through the same colored glasses as do the com mittee. He sees the fallacies tbiough the thinly guised argu ment and recognizes in ibis appeal the selfish cry of the jute interests. A PLEASING OUTLOOK From almost ev< ry section of tbe County the report has come daring tbe past week that the crops, are looking unusual y well. This is a cause for general congratulation, and we all mute in tbe hope that the propitions outlook may con tinue during the entire season ; so that at its close, the faithful, iudus trious farmer will not meet tbe diss couragements which he has enconn tered for several years past, bat may at last reap some portion of tbe reward which ia an rely reserved some whete us a compensation for tbe trials and exasperating hard ships he has undergone.
