OnSaturday, the 22nd ult., at Taylors
ville, in feampson county, a young
white man by the name of Beitty Mathis
was struck on the head with a elub by a
colored man named Charles Murphy, and
writJi nrrh fiirce as "to render him insensi

We learn that the Ortonj plantation, a
faw miles down the river, and which is
the property of Gapt. D. U. Murchisoa
which has been lying comparatively iidle
since the war, is to be redliiaied and put
under cultivation tho comin year. It is
a very fertile tract of jlaad and is one of
the test rice farms on the river, and we
have no doubt that the; encrgjn and good
judgment for which Capi. Murchison fg
noted will make it a profitable venture.

Another Serious Case Before the May
rot a Party Who Is Charged With
a Murderous Intent-
His Honor Mayor Fishblate held au
other Urge levee this morning.
The first called was Harry Vane, a
German sailor, who was charged with
disorderly conduct in a house near Pad
dy's Hoilow, from which he broke and
ran, when Officer E. S. Griffith pursued
and caught bim and escorted hira to the
Guard House. The prisoner was remacd'
ed until the Mayor had time to consider
the case and make some further inquiries
aeout the defendaat.
Edward McFarland, alias Put Hooks, a
little bow-legged boot black, well known
about these parts, was arraigned for dis
orderly conduct. Having been locked up
all night the Mayor allowed him to depart
without further punishment .
Julia Ford and Mary Eliza Lively, both
old acquaintances of the Mayor in his of
ficial capacity, were arraigned for an af
fray in the neighborhood of thac delecta
ble spot which our readers may have seen
some account of before in these columns,
known as Paddy's Hollow. The two dus
kyhued damsels were convicted of dis
orderly conduct and told to relieve them
selves of $5 apiece and deposit he 6ame
with the Clerk or go below for ten days.
The next case called was C. Z Costin,
charged with assault with a deadly wea
pon, with intent to kill J. II . Bolton, at
the Rock Spring Hotel, on the night of
the 1st of December,' 1879. I
J. R. Bolton, a young man about 30
years of age, with a gash upon his nose,
one upon his throat and still another
upon his left wrist, was called to the
witness stand, and testified "in effect, that
himself and Costin had been, together the
night previous, and had gone to a
barroom on Market street and taken
something to drink, and after walking
about a little while, repaired to the Rock
Spring Hotel where Bolton was stopping,
and both retired to the same room to
gether for the purpose of going to bed.
That after he had undressed and was in
bed, the light extinguished and the door
locked, Costin and himself commenced
discussing the merits of a horse trade
which witness had made with Costin's
brother some time ago, and that in a few
moments, while lying in bed, Costin
jumped on him aud commenced cutting
kim with a knife, inflicting the wounds,
on his wrist, nos3 and throat.
Mr. Robert Lee, the proprietor of the
hotsl, was then called and testified that
Bolton and Costin came into his hotel
last night together, both friendly and
agreed to take the same room and bed ,
but did not know anything 'about the
disturbance until the police came'in.
Officer Wadkins testified that about
12 o'clock last night he heard a noise in
the hotel from the street and cry of police,
that upon going into the hotel and in
forming the clerk, he was told that in all
probability Costin, who had been drink
ing, wanted to get out and get more
whiskey. Officer Wadkins then went
out and into an alley by the hotel from
whence he could distinctly hear a man
breathing hard as though he was strug
gling for breath. Went Immediataly
back into the hotel with officer Meyer.and
they, together with R.C. Johnson, broke
open the door and saw the defendant,
Coetia, astride of Bolton in the bed. Im
mediately arrested Costin and took him
out of the room when he remarked "If
my knife had not broken, I would have
killed bim ; If I hadn't, damn old Han
nah." Mr. R. O. Johnson, a guest of the ho
tel, testified that he wasl sleeping in the
adjoining room and heard the scuuli,
and the cry of Lee! Lee! for the propria
tor, but was not sufficiently awake to re
cognize the voice that, was callingf got up
and came out of his room just as the po
lice broke open the door; saw both the
Ben; Bolton was undressed while Costin
had all his clothes on; both parties were
very bloody. Heard Costin say, "if my
knife hadn't broke if I. hadn't killed him
damn old Hannah." -
Other witnesses were introduced, all of
whom corroborated the statements above
mentioned. Officer Wadkins also testi
fied that be asked' Costin for his knife and
was told that it was in the bed; looked
for It then and found it, the Ha 'e in one
place, broken off, and the bau Ac in an
other. It is but fair to state that the defendact
Coetin, asserted at the trial, that Bolton
commenced the difficulty by abusing his
z?.rd to a boite
that lie ,st;i' i
it C t u! of the
room, but that Boston h.ni kcko,! the dorr
