TUE CRIME, On the banks of the great Pedee River, which Tuns through this section of South Carolina, and not far from the store of & man named Manheim, near Efingburn depot, on the Wilmington and Manchester Railroad, a terrible tragedy occurrea im the month of August last. The principals in the fatal drama were beth of mewly-emancipated, newly-enfranchised and newly-made lawmakers of this State; and, to make murder still more foul, they bere the relation to each other of father-in- law and son-in-law. Sam Brown, the eupheneous name of the murderer, haa married the danghter of Ebb West, his victim, @ most unoffending and Tespected colored man, of this county, who bore es! n of both white and biack " On the tragic day in | party ef sable brethren, had question Sam, with a been TAKING HOLIDAY AT OR AUOUT THE STORE above named, and, unfortunutely tor him, he be- came greatly intoxicated and as 4 consequence noisy, disgusting and ofensive in his manners und his remarks.

Screening himself from the eyes of his tellow-creatures, he went to his own home thatmnight, and, his wife be- ing absent, he soon feli fast asieep from the com- bined effects of fatigue aud bad whiskey. On the following morning he was discovered by his wife— ‘whose father he had so foully murdered—and upon beige charged by her with the crime he PROFESSED THE PROFOUNDEST IGNORANCE OF THE WHOLE MATTER, and assured her by the mest sulemn protestations that be never heard of it before.

The Growl of the Senators Over the Governor's Appointments. ARE THE MAJORITY CREATE A BREACH? Bribery and Corruption—Railroad Companies to Clear the Snow from Streets—Reduction of Canal Tolls—To Prevent Disease and Cruelty. ALBANY, Jan, 29, 1873, ‘There is a growing feeling of uncasiness among the members of the majority that is unmistakable, and the action of the Senate in caucus last night in regard to the Governor’s appointments of Har- bor Masters and Port Wardens nas only added to the general anxiety. The leaders in both houses are by no means free from the infection. The fact is that they are a little afraid of Governor Dix, and are already half inclined to believe that he really means to be A REFORM GOVERNOR in its broadest sense, and therefore will be found during the session rather in the way than other- wise of many little schemes and plans for the dis- tribution of patronage they have in contemplation. They have already been checkmated toa certain degree by the stand Havemeyer has takenin the city, and they have an idea that if the Governor should be hampered in his appointments and wishes at this early stage of the session he might prove an ugly customer before the Legislature ad- journs, If he was pushed to the wali too roughly he mfght, for instance, LOOK AT THE NEW CHARTER THROUGH REFORM DEMOCRATIC SPECTACLES, and give out ina veto that the “marked policy” he told Governor Hoffman, on inauguration day, he intended to pursue, did not mean a partisan policy, but a policy that reformers of both parties could consider just. As matters now stand there is no likelihood of an immediate break between the Governor and the majority, but, judging frem the way they taik in public, and the Senators de- nounce him in secret for presuming to make appointments without having consulted them be- forehand, there must soon be a change of spirit ali around, or the crash will certainly come. 1 do not by any means wish to be understood as saying that. the Governor has the slightest intention to “act ugly,’’ to use the slang of the lobby; but that HE MEANS IN HIS EVERY ACT AND APPOINTMENT TO BE A THOROUGH REFORMER, regardless of partisan considerations, is an unde- nmiable fact. He will not in his non-partisan course g0 so far as to prefer reform democratic _doctrines or men to reform republicans, or measures urged by them, but he will not allow. the Majority to stand over him and dictate the names of men for appointment who may be republicans, but not in his opinion fit men to occupy official places honestly, or to command him to approve measures which, though urged by the majority, may not have the people’s welfare so much in view as the furtherance of the little schemes and MONEY MAKING TRICKERIES OF CLIQUES RINGS which flaunt the party flag. In this connection I may as well state a few facts about the new charter, which may serve to throw a little light upon the general darkness with which its exact prospects are now surrounded. ‘The information which I gave you in_yesterday’s letter as to the dropping of Green, Van Nort and Delafield Smith turns out to be correct, and as yet no determined effort has been made by their New York iriends, or even by the lobbyist, George Jones, who is “WORKING THE ROUTE” FOR GREEN, to save any one of the trio. Green once down can never, it is evident, be resurrected ; but if he should be, by some miracle or other, he will only be set up to be knocked down worse than ever. As | intimated yesterday, the dropping of Green necessarily caused the culling out of the other two, and that this left a queer question to be decided— HOW TO STEER ROUND HAVEMEYER in the appointment business. The question is rfther a puzzler, and it has leaked out that a plan is being matured by which the follow result will be obtained, if the worst comes to the worst, for the majority:—The charter will be reported ana hur- ried through under whip and spur, and those who have time to look at it carefully afterward will find that THE APPOINTING POWER INSTEAD OF BEING VESTED IN THE MAYOR IS CONFIDED TO THE BOARD OF AL- DERMEN ALONE. This plan is being seriously considered. It cer- tainly steers round Havemeyer nicely, but there is yet another matter connected with it which may give a little trouble. Will the Governor sign the charter if it is so amended and his triend Have- meyer is thus left out in the coldy He has, | under- stand, already agreed to sign the charter if the appointment of heads of departments 1s given to the Mayor and the Bourd of Aldermen. although he preters that the Mayor should have the sole power of appointment. This was a con- cession on his part—a_ sort of letting down from the stand he took in his message—and he doubtless considers it a very considerable concession. It 1s not, therefore, reasonable to suppose that ifthe appointing wer should be vested im the Board of Aldermen alone he would sign the bil. If rhis new idea is carried out finally by the leaders, which they can easily do, now that the question of Green’s being in the charter has been settled, THEIR ONLY CERTAINTY OF TRIUMPH WILL BE TO CARRY THE CHARTER over the Governor’s veto, it now remains to be seen whether they dare to carry out (uis new plan to “steer round Havemeyer.”’ BRIBERY AND CORRUPTION, The amendment to the constitution relative to bribery, which was passed by the Assemply to-day, amends section two of article two of the constitu: tion of the State, So that it Will read as tollows: Laws may be passed exelud e right of sufirage all persons who have b 5 ‘y or larceny, or of any infamous erin ¥ person who shall make or b interested in any wage: any election, or wlio shail ps % ise to pay ‘or give money property or valuable consideration, with intent te Huence any elector trom voting, or from the right to vote at such election, of from holding any office voted jor at such election: This amendment was passed by the Legis- ssembi) AND depriving ever reetly or indire the result q lature, and it now having passed the f and, a8 of course, itis certain to be passed by the George M. | Abul | PROVIDING FOR THE BALLOT BOXES AND now THE | t preachers who take | priiliant lawyer in « Pp chusion, that a greater power than that | pome in these days—the power tor spoke to a thousand hear- ers, the newspapers to a hundred thousand readers, the press would use its great power il, and not abuse tt, for in that discretion of tae press rested the safety of freedom, of free institu- v buring the prog: Sof the lecture Mr. Dougherly was most heartily d with applause, and at the qlose bis per- Senate, which adopted it jast year, it will be sub. mitted to the people at the next general election. | VOTE 18 TO BE COUNTED. was passed with the amendment to-day.

They have not only in the course they have taken stood by the interests of the party leaders, but have, as plainly as words can say it, toid the Governor what they think of his “unwarranted interference,” as one of the Senators puts it, with their desires, and what they will do in the future, ifhe attempts again to be independent of the powers that be, THE ACTION OF THE SENATE HAS CREATED A GREAT DEAL OF EXCITEMENT, and many of the members of the lower House who have heretofore been rather slow to take sides In the grand struggle for the spoils of office have since been exceedingly loud in their denunciation of the majority in the Senate.
