The friends of Governor llill,of New York, are booming him for the presidential nomination, notwith¬ standing they have been from Washington tjiet Mr. ( leve- la'nd has his lieart set on another term. Before he was ejected he declared himself in favor ot one t 3 r*n only.

I'he engineers of Charleston have made the discovery that some of ihe public buildings in that city were built of material wholly unfit for ihe purpose.

We did not hettntll the arguments, but, judg¬ ing from what we heard, tiie attor- n ys or both sides did their whole dGty. * It will he remembered that Blackman was ihe stayer of Stone- wall Tondee a little over a year 4g»- He was tried soon after be committed tiie deed and convicted. His counsel carried his case to the supreme court and it came back for another trial upon the ground that his attorneys never had time enough to prepare the defense. No fault was found with the evidence. Some think the prosecution made out a better ease this time than be¬ fore. Judge Fort is a terror to evil doers and the citizens of Schley county are determined to pur a stop to such heinous crimes. FFUSONAIL.
