"Respectable'' Murder. The killing of Col. Alston by Mr. Cox,an influential citizen, of Georgia is freah iu tho minds of our readers. A few days ago Col. Buford of Ken tucky, a highly esteemed citizen, shot down Judgo Elliott in cold blood, because a case was decided against him. Alluding to the anticipated lynching the "New York Times'' fays: "Col. Buford is not tho sort of mail to be in any danger of lynching in Kentucky. He is too "high tuned*' to be executed by mob law or regular law." The "News and Courier" says: "These are bitter words, but there is more truth in thorn than we like to acknowledge. Thero is not exactly one law for the rich and another for the poor in the .South, but iu the South, as in the North, the criminal of gjod family and large means baa ten chances of escaping punishment where the humble citizen lias one." This is a crying injustice to which the whole world must plead guilty. We don't expect the railleuiuni, but. we must raiso our voice for justice between the rich and poor. It is wrong that so-called respectable murderers should get clear, while the unknown and moneyless criminal ia compelled to expiate his guilt on the gallows. The increase oi' this species of crime i.s fearful, and unless a check is put to it by the hanging of a few of these "respectable ' murderers there will be little safety to life. It ia the duty of all iu authority to cor rect the evil. The Democrats Stand their Ground. The debate in Congress over the appropriation bill wi .h the appended legislation ngair tho military and supervisors at the polls, has been long Bad bitter, but we are glad to be able to record that the Democrats have stood fjrni, and..that.. t.h?.fi-?*t- L*.t?i? has been' won, the bill having passed the House, and being favorably re ported in the Senate The result of the debate ia en courngeing to tho 1 democrats showing that they are at la-t over matching their opponents in ability. The speeches of Mr. liluckburnc of Kentucky, and Mr. Tin ker oi Virgi nia were the most brilliant of the session. ? The next matter of public interest will be the position of the President. Will he veto or not ? If he does, mho will be the revolutionist'? Tho Improvement of the Sanfee. Through the efforts of Hon. M. C. Butler, Congress has appropriated a a large amount of money for tho purvey nnd improvementof our rivers. "We are glad to ace by the letter of Mr. T. K. Legare, ?f Fort Motto, in the Heirs and Couri that our people arc not altogether blind to the ad vantages of the scheme. The river bottoms of the San tec are the best and most valuable hinds in the State, nnd if utilized would be an immense addition to (he public wealth. If the money appropriated is not squandered or diverted, tin re i-^u. job promise for us in this mutter. We hope that Congressman O'Con nor will look after the matter and see that justice is done us. Murder Near ?t. Stephens. The murder of Mr. C. G. McCoy, rear St. Stephens Pc| ot, ou the 1st, bus created considerable feeling in that community. Mr. McCoy was a wealthy citizen and it is supposed that he was killed for his money. At the time ol the atrocious deed he was repairing the Palmer bridges, and was returning to the house of a friend when the murderer concealed !> hind a tree fired upon him und killed him. His horse came home riderless, which csusced bis friends to go iu search of him until they found his dead b<>dy in the road. No clue bus bcjn found to the murderer. Significant, Poring the debate in Congress on the appropriation bill a very impor tant test of public sentiment as to who are the revolutionists, the Demo crats or the Republicans, took place in Chicago, a notorious Republican city. C. H. Carter, tho Democratic nominee for Mayor, was elected over his Republican opponent by a hand ion.? majority. This ib a siguiiicaut victory. j The Fraud Goes On. Hayes has appointed D. T. Gor bin Judge of the Supreme Court of Utah. Tho studious zeal with whieh tho fraudulent President has provided for tho Bcoundrels who helped him into tho Presidential ehuir is a dis grace to the country. The trial of Willis Dent charged with tho niuidcr of John J. Harris in Columbia on the 7th of October last, concluded last week iu his ac quittal. Both were young men, and tho tragedy was the lcsult of too much whiskey and tho carrying of concealed weapons. Never nod to an acquaintance at uuctiou. We did so i nee, and when the sale closed we found tho follow ing articles knocked down to us: one broken baby ciadic, one broken ciib, one tin pan with holes in tho bottom, one co?'ce p ?t with no bottom, six chairs, thiie of which had no backs, and the other three had no legs, one pair ofstocki ngs with holes iu the heels and toes, one ladies hat, and a lot of empty bandboxes. What we intended as a nod to several younp lady friends whom we happened to glancoat the time of our unfortunate nod, was tau en by the auctioneer as bids for the worthless articles. ? ??mo- ? - ? ? A Dutch salooniat, when asked why be hung a beer mug in front of his place, roplied : "Don't dot constitu- j tion ol the United ?States say 'Dung | out your banners on doso outside | walls?' So I puts mine flag on do front wall of mine sbtora." "That settles it,'1 as the egg sb.pl 1 said to the coffer. NOTICE OFFICE COUNTY COMMISSIONER'S, Obanokbuho County. Orangeburg, S.
