SIECIIETARY RAWLINS.
. , When General John A._Rawlins accepted the
portfolio of the'-War Office, last March, Death
had already set hiS unmistakablelseal upon
him. • Tfie hollow cough, 'and the hectic flush
upon his' pale cheek, told , ' the sad story that
consumption was working its fatal work upOn
him, in the very prime of
,his pure and noble
manhood. The President loved his intimate
companion-in-arms well, and althOugh he and
all 'who knew General Rawlins well, felt that
he could not wear his high hOnors long, the
seat in the Cabinet was tendered by the one
and accepted by the other as the substantial
token of a very near and warm friendship, con
tracted in the earliest days of the war, ce
mented under the pressure of aR that eventful
period, and continued until these faithful
friends have been set apart by the unrelenting
band of Death.
The death of Secretary Rawlins touches the
heart of the nation, Faithful to every duty,
- unflinching in his maintenance of principle,
vigorous in all iris. militaryand civil adminis
tration,his character was full of persOnal charm
and attractiveness:;. Very quiet and dignified,
in his nianner,,salr tiiiies,the forecast shadow
of the coming Messenger had set a grave gentle
ness upon the manly .beauty of his features,
which impressed all who came .in contact with
him. Still a young man, he had woven his
lime into the history of his country, as a
brave soldier, a devoted patriot, a high-minded,
pure and honorable citizen of the Republic.
Ire has died in his country's service, as truly as
if he had been smitten down on the battle-field.
His fatal disease was contracted during the
exposures of the eventful. campaigns of West
Tenneasee, and he adds one more to the long
roll of the victims of the Rebellion.
President Grant, in selecting Ins former
chief-ot-staff as the head of the War Depart
. went, did so, not only because he wished to
compose his Cabinet of his confidential and
personal friends, and not only because he
-wished to do honor to a faithful . and accom
plished soldier, but also because, in carrying
out his-general design of retrenchment - - and re
form in the military as well as in the civil ser
vice, he desired to place at the head of the War
Department' the manlvho, of all his army asso
ciates, was best acgdainted with his own views,
whose experiences were identical with his own,
and whose devotion to his former chief would
ensure his acting in perfect accord with the
principles and purposes of the Eiecutive. The
choice was the best that could liave been
Made, and President Grant sustains in the
death of Secretary Rawlins, a severe personal
and official loss, which cannot be fully repaired
by any successor who may be appointed to fill
the variant place.
The career of Secretary Rawlins is ahead,
amiliar to the American people.
born__in__Galena,_ Illinois, of ye:
being
aifiarcoal-burner.
Lilte many another — Siffelietan — Tad similarly
situated, he struggled upward from the very
start, snatching a simple education as best ho
might, under the hindrances of poverty and in
the intervals of daily labor. When the late
war broke out, young Rawlins had already
worked his Way up the social. ladder and
was enjoying a considerable practice as
a lawyer in_his native town. He.had already
formed the acquaintance of Ulysses S. Grant,
end both responded to the earliest call of their
country for help. Their after career was an
Inseparable one. As General Grant rose step
by step, through the grades of his brilliant pro
motion, Rawlins rose with him, always at
tached to the person of his beloved chief, as his
adjutant "or chief-of-staff, and finally sharing
with him- in the..civil honors which have
- crowned his illustrious services. Born the son
Ida lowly charcoal-burner in Illinois, he dies
,the faithful servant of the American nation, the
ISecretary of War, and the constitutional ad
'viser of the President of the United States. •
The character of General Rawlins was full
of force. With a great deal of the keen, in
tuitive sagacity which characterized Abraham
Lincoln, he brought much positive Strength to
the Cabinet of President Grant. His judgment
was • very clear, his unswerving honesty was
evident to all observers. . He was a • man of
firm will, of distinct opinions, of high physical
and moral courage, with• an earnestness of
spirit and purity of purpose which placed him
among the most valuable class of the public
servants of the American people. The careers
of such men furnish noble models to the youth
of our country. They point out the true means
by Which the %.triers of poverty and all adverse
circumstances , ' may be overcome, and how
those who will, may rise' from the lowest ob
scurity, to honor and national fame. Industry,
energy, perteverance, honesty, virtue, temper
ance, patrietism,—these were thesteps by which
the son . of the' unknown charcoal burner of
Illinois has ris& before the eyes of the Ameri
can people, until, dying in the prime of a noble
ho goes to his grav faOurned and-honorad,
by, a whole nation

•
moeracy
The nominations of Ahern, Stewart, Hurley
Sr,
Co , for Miportant offices of emoltunent and
trust, have done much to open the eyes of the
Public to the real drift of Democratic politics.
There is not glitter enough about the 'Golden
Calf *which bas been set up, in the person of
that " Pride of the Valley," ASa Packer, to
draw off popular attention from the ugly,
glaring fact, that it is deliberately proposed to
turn this city over into the hands of the rough
- est-of the—"-roughs
,-of-the Democratic-party.-
The indigenous element of Rascality over
pow •i • re - foreign element of Respectabilit ,
and Ahern and Stewart and McMullin are de
termined not to be overshadowed by Packer
and Fox and Sheppard.
Yesterday, the people of Philadelphia were
laid under fresh obligations by the unblushing
exhibition of Democratic principle made by
Alfieri ian 111cAluffinii, t meeting of ffe"
Board of Aldermen. The Age, this morning,
omits tozive its readers this interesting scene,
but it, is of too
,much significance not to receive
ha-widest'circulation, and we 'truSt that our
neighboi will repair his oversight to-morrow.
The Board of Aldermen. being engaged in
the appointment of election officers for the
Fourth :Wail,. ; the 'following dialogue :took
place : 1
" AldermanatcMullin—They can never
go there. I will-bet a hundred dollars on it.
" Aldernian.lones—LWe will have to move
the Ward ant, then.
"Alderman 310.31n1linhen the day of
election comes' we - will crowd the place with
men.
"The Chair—Alderman, you should be
ashamed of yourself. lam surprised that you
make threats.
" Alderman McMullin—On election day
don't let them go in. - There will be murder if
they do.
" Alderman Cloud moved that the resolution
as read. be adopted:
. _
" "Alderman Mc3fullin proposed as an
amendment a long list of names.
"Alderman Cloud moved to lay the amend
ment on the table.
"Aldernian McMullin characterized the
motion as being unfair.
"The Chair said the motion was not deba
table.
"Alderman McMullin—Well, there will be
trouble there then.
"The Chair—Thegentleman should be
ashamed of making threats.
"Aldernian Jones asked that the room be
cleared.
"Alderman McMullin—You had better at
tempt to nut them out ; you will see what yoU
will get. There will be three or four thousand
men let loose on the day of election.
"The motion to lay upon the table was
agreed to.
"Alderman Jones called the previous ques
tion, which was the adoption of the resolu
tion. Agreed to.
"The resolution, as read by the clerk,,was
then agreed to. The Chair declared the names
as the officers to conduct the election in Oc
tober.
"Alderman McMullin—You will have club
law, then on election day.
"The Chair—lt is beneath your dignity to
make any such -threats, or use such language."
"Forewarned, forearmed." Alderman Mc-
Mullin gives, public notice, sitting as 'an Alder
man, of riots and bloodshed to be resorted to
on election day. And we have no doubt that
he meant all that he said. It is well that De
mocracy thus makes no more disguise of its
laNyless designs. It is well that the peOple are
thus put on their guard. Such mob-law
preaching as that of. Alderman McMullin's,
yesterday, cannot but rouse every dormant
sense 'of the law-loving citizens of.. Philadel
phia to resist and crush out such anarchy as
thus openly proclaimed by an officer sworn
and commissioned to protect and enforce the
laws and to preserve the public peace.
The Packer and'Pershing party is the Ahern
and McMullin party. They are one and the
Same, and they must stand or fall together.
The open avowal that the fall election is to be
carried, if at all, by mob violence, is the best
preservative of the peace we could have had.
Alderman McMullin's threats have been made
• time to allow of such pr_eparations
made as will prevent their being carried into
-- . _effectwhileL-:_thelwilisollanmand,,A,diso: Ist_
every decent man who still linaers Italie ranks
of the sham Democracy, that they will con
tribute largely to the overwhelming defeat of
the Mob Law Party, and the triumph of the
Party of Law and Order.

TILE LAST OUTRAGE.
Revenue Detective Brooks was assassinated
in this city, yesterday, simply because he was
an officer who could not be corrupted,and who
was untiring in his efforts to bring to justice
the scoundrels who make a profession of vio
lating the law. He could not be intimidated,
he would not be bought, and.so he was mur
dered. The Democratic paper of this city, un
willing to lose an opportunity to traduce its op
ponents, pours out, over' the dying body of - this
poor victim, a series of slanders against the Re
-publican party, charging upon it that demorali
zation of the community which made this atro
cious deed possible. But we and all intelligent
men who are not blinded by political prejudice,
perceive in this crime the legitimate result of
that furious denunciation of the law, the law
making power and the Executive, which has
characterized the Democratic press for
years past. The Age and its Col
leagues have striven as iduously to bring
into contempt the acts of Congress
and their ministers, and to stir up to opposition
the most dangerous classe i s in this community.
We need no better illustration of this than the
scene which occurred yesterday at the meeting
of the Board of Alderman, where McMullin, a
Democratic officer of this city, a leader of the
Democratic party, and a personal friend of the
Democratic candidate for the Clerkship of the
qrfirter Sessions Court, openly declared that
he would organize a gang of three thousand
roughs who would maintain "club law,"
"make the city too hot to hold" honest voters;
keep Republicans away from the polls on elec
tion day, and murder any man who attempted
to interfere with his operations. The Ape care
fully omits hieMullib'e threats from Its report,
hut be threatened all this and more. This is
the lawless spirit of Democracy—the very same

In the Spring of 1863 a man named Henry
Drayton;gave. an entertainment in London
which , lie styled "Federals and Confederates."
It consisted of a panorama of American scenes,
and of songs and a lecture by the exhibitor.
During the entertainment, this 'Drayton took
occasion to abuse the loyal \ people of the
Northern States in the most infamous manner.
There 'was no' falsehood too great, no slander
too vile, no calumny too monstrous for this
.man to utter against our.people. • He traduced
American women by declaring, that they had
no respect whatever for the marriage tie ; he
attributed to the men habits which would be
disgusting if they belonged to sav
ages ; i he accused ' the Generals of the
Union ° army 'of ' diabolical crimes
and of habitual debauchery, and he •exhausted
the language of vituperation inpicting, what
he alleged to be the manners and toms and
morals of our Northern communi . This
was done while we were in the supremeagony
of that awful civil war, and when the Northern
people were sacrificing their dearest and best
blood, and lavishing their treasure to save their
c6untry from destruction. IV was poured into
the willing ears of English men and women
who were in hearty sympathy with our
enemies,
.and who found in ..: this man's
Vile slanders gratification ,of their
hatred of our loyal people. Because
Of the existence of these sentiments in English
hearts this entertainment was given. This
man Drayton was a panderer to their eager
desire for our humiliation, and whether he was
an American or a native of another land, he
earned for himself, for all time, the contempt
and scorn of every honest man. Last night a
. singer named Henry Drayton appeared upon
the stage of our Academy of Music. He came
from'England, and brought with him an Eng
lish reputation as an artist which was fully
sustained by his performance here. We
think it our duty to ask if this is the man who
gave the exhibition referred to above. It is
possible that these two persons have separate
identities, and that we wrong the present Mr.
Drayton by associating him, even in an article,
with the slanderer of our people. We shall be
glad to know that this is the case, and will be
quick to dO' hirn justice by declaring his inn°,
cence. And if he should, perchance, be the
identical individual, we will strive with equal
faithfulness to present to this community his
claims to consideration.

in state in general Shernian's room. }Fere it'
will remain until Thursday morning when
the funeral takes place.
• But few persons have, as yet, availed' them
selves of the privilege of looking 'at • the
remains, it not being ;known that the body is
lying In state. Alf the public bkildings are
being draped in black, and flags. are every

The President this morning gave orders that
the Departments shouldbe immediately closed,
and remain so until Friday next, and that no
public business be transacted.. An official:,
proclamation will be issued during the 'day,
announcing:the Secretary's death, and general
orders will also be issued by the Secrelary of
the Navy, and Geri. Sherman, Secretary of
War:ad interim, directing the navy and army
to observe in a proper manner the sad, event.
The public mind seems entirely occupied by
this subject alone and nothing else, is talked
of in or out of political eirclat.

The body of Secretary Rawlins was remoiied.

All the Departznents, including the Execu-•

Last night a telegram was received by Gen.
Williams, from Governor Walker,. of Virginia;
expressive of the univetbal sorrow with which
the announcement of the death of Secre

mond. Governor Walker, accompanied
by several prominent gentlemen of Virginia,
will reach Washington in time to participate
in the obsequies. No order has yet been

I Special Deoratch to the•Phila. Evening Bulletin"
Sens.yrox, Sept. 7; 10;30 A. 31.—A ,gentle
man who left the scene the- awful disaster
in the Avondale t;oal Mine this morning has
just arrived here. He states that. since the
fatal result of the attempt to explore the mine
last night, by which 'Williams and Jones were
fillfibeated, no further attempt has been made
to descend, as it is impossible for any human
being to live for 'any length of time twenty
feet down the shaft. . -
A steamfan is being Constructed, which will'
be put in operation this afternoon, and by the
use of which, It is hoped, the shaft can be
cleared of foul air, and investigations made
feasible. / .
The scene of woe around the dreadful chasm
bathes description. The families of those en-'
cased in 'thel earth have remained .on the,
ground all night; heartbroken and prostrate
with despair. It would be cruel ' to' give ex
pression to the fears entertained, for although
these- wails of wives, mothers and children
betoken the deepest agony, there is yet left
a faint ray, of hope that their, loved ones may,:
be saved. Thousands of people- are' here arid
thousands are continually coming. All within
human power is being done to facilitate
measures for the aid of those below, if t indeed,
there be any within the reach of succor.
SCRANTON, Pa.; Sept. 7, 9 A. 31.—1 t will be
an hour yet before entrance can be effected
into the A.vondale,Mine. All the mining ex
perts feel sure that very man fn. the mine is
dead, -
SCRANTON, Sept.7.—The lamentable mining
e-
thought an eeling. W uhilluT*Tfole—commu
--nity-is-thrilled the-eentre-with—sorrow;the-•
Inning population, as might be expected, are
more deeply and painfully touched than any
other class. All - work is suspended in the
mines in this •vicinity, and nearly the whole
force of miners, in milling suits,have igone to
Avondale,to remain there until their brethren
are brought out dead or aliN , e.
Special trains are run down from here and
no fare charged those going to Avondale.
Thousands have ' gone from this direction
alone, and the whole country is aroused and
• flocking to the scene of disaster. In "the
Fourth, Fifth and Sixth, or. Hyde Park
Wards of this city, the streets are thronged
with women, 'relatives and friends of the men
in the Avondale pit, eagerly beseeching every
person arriving from below for information.'
and their weeping arouses the sympathy of
all spectators.
Mining cannot be resumed at any of the
works of the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western Railroad Company probably , within.;
a week, or at least until all the funerals of the ,
Avondale dead are over. The fact of the long
and se,Vere strike, just ended, adds greatly to
the destitution which will follow the calamity.
The widows and orphans will number not less
than six hundred.:

BLOODY - MIFFRA - Y --- AT - A - CAMP=
MEETING.
A Negro ShOt Dead and a White Nan
Wounded.
TnEyrox, New Jersey, September 6, 1869.
During the progress of 9 a colored camp-Meet
ing which was being held on Sunday evening
at 3lorrisville, Pennsylvania, adjacent to this
city,a resident of Trenton,named Samuel Gas
ton, about twenty five years old, became in
volved in .a quarrel with a, negro in
consequenCe of some insult alleged to have
been' offiired to a female friend by Gaston. It
is stated that the colored man, named Charley
Brawn, a resident of Tyburn, Pa., attacked
him for the alleged insult offered to the wo
man, and in selt-defence, Gaston discharged a
revolver at him three times, one of the shots
proving fatal. In the course of the melee a
white man named . :Wm. Sheppard was.
wounded in the leg by a wandering shot from
Gaston's revolVer.
Gaston, to escape the revengeful fury of
the mob, immediately ratter the bloody occur
rence decamped through the woods and con
cealed himself till about eight o'clock, on Sun
day evening, when he appeared before the
Mayor of Trenton and surrendered himself.
Refusing to be locked up and offering .
bail, in the absence of any direct iproot
of ' the' man's guilt and for want of
jurisdiction, Mayor Napton refused to take
any cognizance of the affair, so Gaston re
mained at large till yesterday, when he re
paired to Doylestown,Pa., and consigned him
self to the, custody of the authorities. Yester
day afternoon an inquest was coral:tie/Iced on
the body of Brown "b it had - not concluded
at a late hour, and the evidence adduced was
corroborative of the foregoing facts.

The subject of the revision of the tariff,. as applied to
drugi, was introduced by my predecessor at the last an
nual meeting,and ably discussed in the - report of the
Committee on the "Drug Market," and a resolution was
adopted declaring that the present high tariff on the im
portation of drugs is detrimental to the interests of this
Associal lon ,w ithout yielding a corresponding revenuo,or
revenue at all: By a. recent letter from the Chairman of
that Committee, 1 learn that be hate as yet 'prepared no

cee,lings, us 1 am assured that the Chairman of the
committee is willing to compile and furnish such a re
port. The attention of practical men in the employ of goy,
ernment is now turned toward the revision of the tariff,
and 1 have been addressed by letter on the subject with
a Jew to co,operation in the work.. There can be little
doubt that 'u committee of this Association would not
( say obtain a respectful bearing, but, by their acquaint
ewe with the trade in its detnils_ovould be able to give
to the officers of government such inforniation as would
result in the removal of unnecessary burdena from our
busiaess.

duties on drum]; involve a large ,additional expense in
the collection of the revenue, and the yield to the .Gov--.

that some members of the'. medical Lprofession have been
unusually active in certain:places in what flaw be Justly,
considered an unwarranted interference in our , affairs.
The details of such interference would be,out of .place
this addressibid we may note the fact that the Mechottl .
Society of the State of Pennsylvania officially ainraleti
oche I.egislature ofie St f I law_
which would have sub je cted every drug=id phar
, macistin the state to the espionage .of .an irresponsible
political officer, appohited with authority to visit and
esainine his stock in ',pursuit of 'suspected , inferior or'
adulterated drugeand preparations.,.Defeated in:
the, passage of this; modified laws ere presented
scarcely less objectionable,some of which were prevented
from passing onlyby the personal intervention of a com-,
mittee of the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy. No.
one in the least acquainted with the subject could have
rip_provedAbelie_ laws.__Plairniacists_ aiming ,to correct_
the errors of our law-makers were publicly changed with
connivance at fraudulent adulteration.' fe, however,
due to the State Medical Society to say that at its last
annual . meeting a committee was appointed to confer in
a friendly emit with the representatives of other
, medical organizations and of our profession, and thus the
benefit' of a thorough interchange of sentiment upon the.
• .v.whole subject will yet be obtained. In the meantime
thecommittee of our asSociation. appointed' last: year
for this purpose 'has, under the lead ,of its, alb
dent , had • under • discussion
"a draft of a proposed law to regulate the Practice or
Pharmacy, end the pale of poisons. and to prevent the,,
adulteration of drugs and medicines." This will be'
presented for discussion and approval' at the present'
meeting.l cannot too highly commend this law to your
serious consideration. ' Originally opposed to any at
. temptlo. prevent by legislation the evils Which are se
perceptible under our preeent unrestrained system, ,I
have gradeally arrived at tlieconclutdou that the effort
should be made now to exhibit to the Itsgielatures of the.
!several States such a law as, if it could be carried out,
would be of immense advaptage to the public, and would
at once place Pharmacy in Its true position. The corn
mince are aware of some imperfections in this draft, al
though it is the result of much careful study. .1 confess
to grave doubts et its proving available in 'States in
which our profession id not well organized. -It Is, how
ever; duo to ourselves arid to the public that, tinder the
stimulus of the present excitement on, the subject. 'a
united effort be made to give , pharmaceutical legislation
a new trial. , • . •
Your. Committee will, no doubt, inform you that seve
' ral Legislatures besides that of, Pennsylvania have had
•this subject before them during the pasty ear, and have
postponed it in view of the proposed action of this Asso
ciation, so that the next session will be the occasion for
'pressing it on the nttention of them. In order to secure
this 1 would suggest that in the event of the Association -
. approving this draft, it should be intrusted to a, large
,committee, consisting of meridiem from all 'the 'States
represeuted in the . Association, who shall avail them
selv es of every merino within their reach to have it fairly
introducedand discussed. Among these means none
'would probably be more available than the action of the
leading medical organizations jointly' with our own.
,This we need not fail to solicit, since in thie matter our
interests are so sindlar. I would further 'Suggest that,
by resolution of the Association ,the reputable and well
disposed druggists and pharmacists of each State be sepa
rately called together at their several seats: of
government and the proposed law presented
to them for discussion and approval.
If a 'complete registration of rephtable druggists,
' chemists- and pharmacists and their qualified assistants,
should be thus effected, under the !function of law, net
only would all appreciate the immense strength awl ad
vantage gained by this thorough organization, but our
profession en Infuse would be soon elevated to a position
commanding the respect of the whole community.' Not.'
wit listandingthis law commends itself as expedient and
desirable, it could hardly be expected to meet with Im
mediate' favor; ignorance and quackery would be
strongly arrayed against it„ and it would only be ,by
steady per ieVerance that its public Utility could be made
to appear. same States it could probably never be
enacted, and in some would be inefficient if enacted, for
want of • previous organization aniong druggists and
pharteaciets. -Thorough organization, with orwithout
law, is the great desideratum of our, profession. This
organization should embrace all reputable pharmacists
and druggists, and should have for its objects, first,
mutual improvement and support; and secondly. • the
proper education . of those who aid In the present
and succeed us in the future discharge of the
delicate and responsible duties of our calling.. The
motives 'of such organization: if'it is to be successful,
roust be above these of individual self-interest. Each
member,in joining his energies with those of his fell o ws,
must do so with the full toriviction that in
a certain just
sense "Reit love, and social are the -siume.'?' The - bane of
some attempted local organizations has been that indi-'
viduals originating them have' attempted to rake them
eubeervieet primarily to their own interesta aft re puts-
Cation, and 'semi darily to that of the profession at large.
Lerthis rule be reversed, and every worthy member of
our profession will he drawn into the companionship of
his fellows, anti the best results will flow, not to the pro
fession only. but to every individual in i t. A well-organ
ized and well-maintained society 'of Pharmacisth tends
directly to raise the reputation of ail ,((remembers;iu the
community, while it increases the self-respect of
each. The "IdassachuSette .Collega of Phaimacy'l has -
made a decided step in advance le the introduction of.
an excellent (entree:of instruction for 'students during
the past year, and we note , witlijpleasure that some of
its veteran members, loug known among •us for their
knowledge, skill and integrity, have tot a worthy (x
-ample to their clerks and assistants by themselves sub
mitting to the ordeal of graduation in the college. Time
spirit of this New England institution, alweye native in
works of true pharmaceutical raugrese, yet thoroughly
conservative in all thataffecta the . honor of our proles
lieu, insures it a prominent place in the educational insti'-
Odious of our country. The latest ;Witten totem local
pharmaceutical organizations is the "Karma College of
Pharmacy.” which - deserves at our hands it cordial greet 7
ingewith hopes that It may grow to an importance, corn
: limp eureka with the public spirit of Its worthy, founders.
In aecordanco with the'.authority ' granted at the' last
annual meeting to appoint delegates to attend the An
nual International Congress of Pharmacists, on our be
half, I have,with the concurrence of the Executive Com
mittee, issued ererientials to our fellow member. John

A Negro Taken From Jail and Hanged.
The St. Louis Democrat says: •
"In the city of Fulton, on the _evening of
Friday, August 27, the wife of a Dr. Johnson,
in Fulton was suddenly surprisedin her home
by the uninvited presence of a negro, whose
movements indicated a purpose to com
mit outrage. The negro escaped be- '
fore he could be identified. The next ,
day,. as it was necessary for some one to
suffer the penalty, a colored man was hunted
up-by whom we have not been informed--
and duly arrested and subjected to an eiuuni.,
nation: before the city
_auftiorities. The evi
denim was of the slightest strength. The only
ground;of suspicion, as revealed -by the testi
mony, was that the arrested negro had, in, the
;early part *Yale evening, visited one of the,
servants in the house:
"The accused man was remanded to the
jail nr calabose. On Monday the: jailox. bad.
some business at a hotel some distance fro
the jail. Accordingly .he left the jar

prisoners. Soon after his advent at the hotel ,
loud screams were heard, which no, one could
account for, thoughapparentUroceeding
from the jail,which wassurround bY a num

jail door was beard,,to fall with a crash. Then
all was quiet. The body of /the negro was
afterwards found; and an examination by a
doctor revealed ' the • fact that the Skull had
been broken =
