Hayward and Lmcbey, an well known
in Bidunond and Petenborg and 'vi
cinity. The following facta wore elici
ted before the eoraner’a jury:
Benjamin P. Lindsey, the deceased,
arrived at Chester on Wednesday af
ternoon, on the 3.20, j). m., train from
Richmond. He went to the store and
took a drink. Captain Hayward met
him there, and told him that a gentle
man in the hotel wished to see him.
He took him np stairs very coolly,
and, approaching the bed, said: “Let
me introduce yon to yoor son and the
victim of yonr villainy." With this,
he turned the bed clothing down and
showing him a new-born infant Tam
ing to his daughter, who was lying in
the bed, he asked her if this was not
Lindsey’s child. She replied that it
was. He then remarked: “Yon have
beard what my daughter says, Mr.
Lindsey. What have yon to say?”
He replied: “I am taken so mnch by
surprise, that Ido not know what to
say." Captain Hayward put the ques
tion again, and Lindsey replied: “That
is my child if she says so. Upon this,
CapUiu Hayward drew a small Smith
A Wesson four-shooter and commenc
ed firing. Lindsey, who was sitting
upon the bed at this time, arose, bnt
made no resistance. Capt. Hayward
discharged the four barrels, two of the
shots taking effect, one in the fleshy
part of the leg, and the other in the
abdomen. The wounded man foil, and
was taken to his room, where he lin
gered through the night, and died at
half-past nine o’clock the next morn
ing.
The prompt discharge of the slayer,
in this instance, on the ground of jus
tifiable homicide, indicate perhaps
more strikingly than any similar case,
the spirit of public sentiment in regard
to the crime of which Lindsey was
guilty. The following wore the re
marks made by the Commonwealth’s
attorney at the examination of Captain
Hayward, and the proceedings conse
quent thereupon:
Colonel Ambers, Commonwealth’s
attorney, addressed the presiding mag
istrate and explained that since 18(>7
the law had dispensed with an exam
ining coart; that its dntics had boon
devolved upon the examining magis
trate; that it was in his power to send
the prisoner on with or without hail,
or to discharge him at onco. He rec
ommeuded the latter course. There
was no jury which could be cmpannell
ed on God’s earth, white or black, sav
age or civilized, which wonld find the
accused guilty of murder. The feelings
of a father rise in every man’s bosom
agninst the commission of such foul
crimes, and proclaim that “tho way of
the transgressor is hard indoed." Ho
did not think this was a case in which
either the public morals or public safe
ty required tho accused to bo sent on.
He should be discharged. Then it
would warn men of libidmotiß appetites
that when they do these deeds they do
them not ouly at the risk of an aveng
ing father, but of an avenging public
aim.
Capt Clopton, counsel for the pris
oner, said that he did not think it ncc
< ssary, after what had been so well nnri
properly said by the attorney for the
Commonwealth, to make any remarks.
The magistrate then said, “Capt.
Hayward, stand lip.”
“Under these ciroumstances I can
not express my feelings. I think in
my duty to announce your discharge.’’
There was every evidence of appro
val at the termination of tho ease on
the part of tho spectators, but no noisv
demonstration was made.
The following was endorsed on the
warrant of arrest:
“Tho evidence heard this day and
the party discharge, on the ground of
justifiable homicide.
“Johh 0. Perdue, J. P.”
The Richmond Dispatch says:
Miss Hayward, the young lady so
foully wronged, is about eighteen years
of ago, of pleasing manners and retir
ing disposition. She resided in this
city since her father moved here. Her
condition was not suspected up to the
time of her delivery.
Captain Hayward is a wall known
citizen of Richmond. He commanded
a cavalry company during the wnr, and
has been for some time proprietor of
the Dime Saloon. Recently he took
charge, with the deceased, of the Ches
ter Hotel. He is a gentleman of groat
popularity, of quiet and unassuming
demeanor, and conld only be brought
to such a deed nudor the greatest pro
vocation. Ho conducted himself calm
ly during his examination, but it was
evipent he was laboring under great
distress.
Benjamin F. Linsey, tho disceosed,
was a man of great local prominence
in Chesterfield. He has occupied va
rious positions of trust in that county,
such a presiding justioe, registrar, Ac.
He was the Conservative candidate for
the Legislature at the last election,
and was also a candidate for the nom
ination to the Constitutional Conven
tion in 1867. He lived for some years
in this city. He was a man widely
known and generally much liked. He
was married to Captain Hayward’s eld
est daughter last December.
Tax Bwt-Kxown Mah.—A Western
editor overheard a conversation be
tween two travelers which illustrates
the power of printer’s ink. He says,
“Daring a few minutes halt at a way
side station, I overheard, for they were
tAlhing freely, the American ask, 'Who
do yon think is the best known man of
the day, the world over ?’ ‘Well,' said
the Englishman, reflectively, ‘lt’s
either the Emperor Napoleon or P. H
Drake.’ ”

No right of old polley holders will bo affected; they
will rontloue to (sty the aame rate aa before; to hold
tlie same polic-iea aa before; to have the same rights,
benefit* and privileges aa before, and have equal pres
ent security with greater future benoflt than before
AU renewals of old policies will be In the name of the
how Company, under special authority from the re
spective Directors of tho old Companies.
Anew Charter was obtained with the rights of poli
cy holder* guaranteed, and we call special attention to
the following doalrable features In said Charter:
••Section 1. The business es the Company shall be to
make inaurance on the Uvos of individuals In all the
branches of Life Insurance; to grant, purchase or dis
pose of annuities or ro-lnsure rlaka.'’
“Section t, The bnainees of the Company shall be
conducted on the plan of distributing to the policy
holders the PROFITS OF THE BUSINESS, aa herein
after provided, nulsaa by the consent of the assured
the policy selected la non-participating."
".Section IS. This Company may Issue policies on
the Uvea of huahanda and parents, or others, for the
beneßt of wive# and families, or other beneficiaries In
teracted in their lives—aa anoeatora, descendants, cred
itors or dependents, and the same shall not bo liable
for tho debts or contracts of the assured, except aa
provided in the policies Issued."
“Sectiou IS. The Company may Issue policies paya
ble is oold: provided, premiums are paid in the same."
"Section 18. The permanent Investment of funds
■hall be in mortgages or leins on unencumbered Real
Estate worth double the amount loaned.”
We wonld also call attention to the rights secured in
policy as pari of the contract.
Bigbta of party to non-forfeiture in oB its policies.
Righto of party to reinstatement—paid up policy,
and surrender nine where “intervention of armies"
or any other cause cuts the insured off from horns of
fice. This feature, omitted In policies Os Northorn
Companies, cost the Southern people very heavily in
the last war, and should make them seek the only
Company that provides against such contingency In
future. Some Companies now have is their policies,
that parties who “take up arms against" certain nam
ed States, "or the United States." render their policy
null end void. This to making certain what was be
fora uncertain, and to too great a mingling of pelitioa,
star and life Insurance.
"THE PIEDMONT AND ARLINGhON” has a model
charier and mold policy, plainly stating riyhu of part ice,
and guarding tkoee rightt against sacrifice.
This Company has folly complied with the require
mean of the State law, with regard to the deposits
with Comptroller Oeoeral, 830,000.
It gtvos dividends at the end of the first yaar, when
all cash to pafd. and of second year, when part loan to
taken. The all cash plan to unreservedly recommend
ed as In every way moat mtiafkctory.
Ws sow confidently appeal to every ooe interested
in Southern prosperity to look to their interests, by
euatnining their own Institutions, and thereby estab
lishing that self cooßdanm without which there can
be no permanent prosperity. Bear In mind that al
ready over 810.MO.MS are an—ally sent North for
life Insurance, taking so much Rum our strength,
aud thereby givtng additional power to our oppressors.

DISEASES OF THE KIDNEYS AND BLADDER.
Persona unacquainted with the structure and tano
tiona of the Kidneys cannot estimate the importance of
their healthy action.
Regular and sufficient action of the Kidneys Isas im
portant, nay, even more so, than regularity of the
bowels. The Kidneys remove bom the Blood those
effete matters which, If permitted to remain, wonld
speedily destroy life, it total suspension of the urina

forty-eight hours.
When the Urine la voided tn small quantities at the

diseases of the Bladder originate from thorn of tile
Kidneys, the Urine being Imperfectly accreted In the
