It is presumed another election will be ordered at once, and it is hoped that the law abidii g people will see to it this time, that a to h r, reliable) and responsible man is elected to fill this important of fice. They have the conso'ation of knowing, at least, that they aai not do worse than they did befon —if there is any consolation iu it The people of Rome are not unacquainted with the character of Sheriff Bryan, of Chattoga Ou more than one occasion ho ha* been arrested for drunkness while in this city. His action, iu the recent outra ges in bis county, when Mr. Adams was killed by three wondering ne groes, is believed to have had much to do with the feeling which pr mpted good men to take two of the negroes from jail and 1 nc them. It is claimed that good citizens feared that thi drunken officials wSuld allow the negroes a chance to escape and they therefore tool, the matter in their own hands. A gentleman from Chattooga said today, that when Sheriff Bry an’s last escapade was reported to Judge Henry that Official look ed up the drunken sheriff and Jail or who were being supported by the murderer prisoneis and ‘“just ripped him up the bask.” The citizens of Summerville are highly indignant and many of them hope the sheriffs resignation will not be accepted—thinking that common decency demands that he publicly impeached. Editor Cain's scathing remarks, as published in the News, are re . gar Jed as none too strong, and his courageous denouncment has hit the popular chord. RETRUN. With the new receiver ship of the C.

The letter does not state wheth er his money had been taken from his person or not. but says that he walked into his ho'id, the Victoria, uid said that he was deathly aick and requested to be sent to a hos p tai, A short time after his arrival at he hospital he breathed his last. Whether he threw any light on he cause of his death is n t mown. However, the letter states that two large blue spots were found >n his body just over his heart, immediately after his death. Mrs. Mitchell, the s.ep mother if the unfortunate young man, is ■xpected to arrive iu the city t - morrow afternoon, A Hustler of Rome renorteT 1 isked the opinion of a Roma f hy •ician this forenoon as to the prob able cause of death, t.king the bluespots over the heart into cou- Gderaf ion. He said the blue s; o‘s would never have cccured nad death re sulted from heart failure alone and he was inclined to the theory, uivi uced by tbe Hustler of Rgmk and adopted by the Rome Tribune viz: that death resulted from a blow from a ‘‘slung shot“ Said he, “a blow deli vered, from a nurderous weapon of that sort, over the heart could produce un c meciousness from which the vic una might rally for a little whi'e > die a most painful death a little W le afterwards,“ The mystery of the death’ if aueiiig much discussion in the city and public opinion is dt cideck iy inclined to a verdict of foul play. Mrs. Turrentine, the dead man‘s widowed sister, returned to her home in Gadsden today- Miss Lil lie, another of his sister is deeply grieved his untimely end, Mitchel], his brother is also very much dLtr.st.ed over the tragic occurrence.
