SCENES ON THE SCAFFOLD. BEALS LESEESED Full Confession of the Fiendish Crime. EAUFORT, Feb. 3, 1871, Dumor Harget, a jet black negro, was executed here to-day for the murder of Absalom Fisher, a negro preacner, tn July last The circumstances which led to THIS MURDER, though not peculiar to’ the negro race, are of such frequent vccurreace among them since their emancipation ag to disclose un alarming state of immorality and depravity. All the parties to the crime are negroes of the most genuine African type, not even a white witness being examined at ‘the trial, From the best information now at band it @ppears that Avsaiom Fisher, with his wife, Ann Eleher, and their family, consisting of severa! chil- dren, the oldest being a voy of about fourteen, re- sld.d at Beaulort, in tuis county. Not far from this, on a neighboring piautauon, there worked a negro Known as Dumer Har;et, all being natives of the county, and nove of them bearing what might be termed bad characters. Soctability among them- Selves being one of the prevailing characteristics ef the negro disposition, Dumer Harget became a Visl- tor atthe heuse of Absalom Fisher, where he was constantly to be jound in the evenings alter work, This was the cuse even in the day time, when Fisher ‘Was absent. The visits were uuremitting, and soon the preacher discovered taat Damer was particu larly assiduous in iis attentions to his wife, and closer observation revea.ed the fact that AN IMPROPER INTIMACY had sprung up between them. Jeateusy, the green- eyed monste:, at once (vox possession of the sable preacher, who froin that moment Kept close watch upon his wife and allowed the guilty pair but little opportuaity for the giatification of their Melt de- sires, This course vn the part of the betrayed hus- pwnd aroused ali the venom and bitterness in Du- mef or whieh @seul-savaye nature 1s capable, and A corresponding aesree of hatred was manifested by the unsaiiital wie towards her liege lord, To Make matters sull worse jor te paramours, Fisher forbid Harget Lo enter lis House, but, notwiihstand- ing all this precaution, tue gulity pair managed at iniervais to lod clandestine meeungs and have stolen interviews. For a consideravie period the aiair remamed in this irksome predicament, until at length, as the theory of the Murder goes, tue gulity pur resolved to put the tying obsiacte to the grauicavion of their lust out ofthe way. It was suine Ume in June last that Har- got formed this Ge=peraie determination, and, once formed, he prosecuted it with vigor, One of his first and known operations was a visit to the aru, store of Mr. Marta, of Beautort, whom he ask fo sell bm SOME STRYOHNINE. That gentleman, now a member of the House of Representatives al Kuivigh, wud always exercised a proper discretion, Wick 18 commendable, in the Sale Of all deadly poisons, asked Harget what be wanted with sirychuine. He repiled, “I want it to ikl rata.” “Have you anv physictan’s or any responsible person’s certificate tiat you will not apply the poi- 802 to any improper use!” asked Mr. Martin, “No, sah,’ said arget; “bat i aint gwine to do no harm wid 1i."" “Yes, but I don’t know that, and I can't let you dave it.” “1 vel you, dey haint no danger, sah; I just want de medicine to bili deus Varuitiis.” “Can't Leip it, Duiucr; 1 won’t let you have tt.’? Thus the murderer was fouled im his first attempt to take the Lie of a w creature through tie caution of a drugsist. What a number of might be saved i all druggists couid overlook Avarice and Cxere.se -tutlar discretion! Finding all attempts ia this divection iruitless, turned bis attenuon to Dr, Jordon, a negro medical practiuoner tn tic neighborhood. He approached him somewhat duferenuy from Mr. Martin, and Segged him to procure THE POISON for him. The doctor tu turn interrogated Harget so closely a5 to tne use le intended to make of the atrychnine aud lis answers were so ambiguous and ontused tat luc suspicions of the sable sculaplus vecame aroused, and he also re- fused furnish the isstuuaung means of death, With = =muttered curses at hls: sr renewed disappoiutwent and i-luck, the murderer turned away from br. Jo:dan and next sought a negro by the awe of Gillet, whum he endeavored to per- suade to bring bim the strycnnine from Newbern, To tuls person he is said to have disclosed his ioul nd wuruerous purpose, the plan being that when pct Was procureo he (Harget) was to give it to Fisher’s wife, wuo was to aduinister it to their victim at his meals, in coffee or some other beve- Tage. For the third tune he was bafied. Gillet also Telased to beco.we a party to the crime of murder. All the ingenuity tuat tits feeble intellect was capa- ble of being now exhau-ted in nis frequent attempts to optaln some deediy poisonous drug, Harget then ved upon dei.berate murder. On the night of ursday, abou! the muidle of July, he Soi home, morose and sullen, refusing to go to bed, de- spite the entreaties of his negro maminy, or foster- mother, Who saw that souething terrible was preying upon his mind, She coutinued to beg and implore dim to retire with all tre afection of a mother, but tono ager and, becoming desperate, he then told er his terrible purpose. He said he would Kill Isher; that 10 mun suuuld stand between him and is plans— pl NOT EVEN JESUS CHRIST. After delivering bimseli of this blasphemous speeoh the murderer took his musket, which all megroes in this section have, aud left the house, On the foliowing day (>aturday) Fisher was missing, but there was no particular notice tuken of his ab- gence, ‘The same day target and Fisher's wife, at- tired in their hoiluay best, attended a large religious meeting, aud ov tue sunday following atvended di- vine service and partook of THE SACRAMENT even while their hands were red with the blood of the woman's murdered husband. After the service bly gully pair returned to Fisher’s resi- aud there Liarget remained for several days. of ine succeeding Week some fish- @rmen on the river discovere'l what upon inyestiga- tion turned Out to be the body of a man, They ulied it 1nco their boar, but Louud it was anchored yy wrope round Luc, neck Witch Was attached to a piece @1 ratlioad 1 ou at the bottom, This they also (pulled up.

Harget jeld in wait night of Tuursday; that Fisher left bis home early son the morning of Friday, aud that he was met in the road by Harget aud shot. The tragedy over, Harget went at once to Fisher's house and ac- quainted the woman wiih the fact that her husband ‘was killed, and 1\ 13 said that he then made Fish- er’s oldest boy go wiih him and assist in removing the body of his murdered father to the river, where he secured the piece of railroad iren to it and sunk it. Soon after the discovery of the body and its identification suspicion at once attached to Harget fas the murderer, aud both he and Ann Fisher were arrested and committed to jail. A true bill was found aainst them, and they were tried at the January term of the Superior Court, and Harget ‘was convicted of MURDER IN THE FIRST DEGREE, afer an absence of twe hours by the jury from the courtroom. An appeal was taken in the case of the woman, who was granied a new trial, Harget re- ceived his senteuce with the utmost composure. While in jail he made several attempts to escape and SWore that he would do something To BE BHO rather than be hanged. Once he succeeded in get- ting out of jail, but was recaptured before ke placed half a mile between himself and the place of his in- carceration.

The money market continued easy at five to six per cent among the stock brokers, the higher rato being almost rare enough to be called exceptional. On government bonds, as collaterals, the rate was from four to five percent, Commercial paper was in request at seven per cent for the strictly prime grades, Foreign exchange was nominally firm and un- changed, but sales out of second hands were made on the street at asixteenth to an eighth per cent below the asking rates of the leading bankers. GOLD LOWER—1114 A 111%. ‘The gold market was lowar, but, as far as might be judged from the character of dealings, rather through a pressure of speculative sales than through any realization on the purchases made before the rise commenced in the beginning of the week. The temptation to these sales was the improvement in five-twentics and British con- sois at London, as well as the removal for some time of the apprehension of active money in the English market, the Bank of Kngland showing @ gain in specie in its statement of yesterday. The lower rates in actual sales of bills of exchange also assisted this general result. The principal sellers were the German bankers, who were also buyors of govern- ment bonda.

The advance in London and the purchases of the German bankers led to an active and buoyant mar- ket for government bonds, particularly toward the close, when gold became steady in the vicinity of 111%.
