a The Trial^of Mr. Davis. It is very generally admitted (sara tbc Constitutionalist) tba: the trial of Mr. Davis, if it ever take place, will be one of the ghast liest forces of this farcical ape-an age which has bee? fertile enough in m "ckeries to pro duce a Lincoln, und impish enough ;o garlar? ?.is grave willi a wife's old clothe* und ?e'rib utive follies. The practical value of Mr. Davis' trial is not apparent to any souud thinker. Xo one dre uns, at this late day, that he is ia any danger of execution, even if convicted. If acfl lilted, the North will suib-r the humilia Ito? ol a judicial defeat, and ail the laureis won in actual combat must consent to infamy. Just as ?tis a most unlikely matter that Jef 1 rson Davis ?rill i-xptrience the death or any ..ther severe pea-ilty, if found guilty of *. trea HIII ;". H ; it \< vq'iaUy absurd, to suppose that a ll ?die il judg ; ur packed jury could decide impartially, and, in granting liiai exact jus ticlTaccVirdtug to evidence, admit the shame a.id vandalism of the vanishing..section. To Wove the di$gitocufirt giiniu of hide ai,d s ek now being performed l ew. en Chief Justice Chase and the vile Judge Underwood, regarding this contemplated arraignment c f Mr. li .vis. we extract the following para g?Mp*?s ?rom the New York World. The World .-ays: " Chief Justice Chase of course knows per fitclly well that the proposed trial of Jefferson Dav's is a Solenn humbug. Ile has fought shy ol' it aa long as he could, and he would k ; p ah'?f fi >m it altogether if he were nota < audidivte for President- lt is the cant o' the so called Conservative Republicans that drives him tod [?be tip of his judicial lingers in this l'..reicu! busbies-,. He is'understood to belong, ii:;e hts admirer Mr. Greeley-, ta the " univ er in! amnesty, universa! suffrage" wing of the pirty. Their opponents pelt them with cam about tho awful crime of treason which they i?w unwilling to have punished; and either from moral <o..nrdtcoor political expediency, air. Chase permits himself to bc canted into p'lriieipition in a judicial farce. The choiu of howls rais.-d against Mr. Greeley when h. fl?g??d thc bai! bond. Rains the Chief Justice t'^at he must not seem slack; ind h? consents to pn side it Richmond from the s iu:e motives (hat led him to make stump speeches to the So .th? rn negroes two years ?go. But he is planning to r-hirk the trial while professing a willingness to conduct it. He consents to bi present at its ope ning, but declines to remain t:ll its close. The offer to be present on the 13th of November is a deceitful dodge, f rhe kuows that the trial cannot be brief. Many days, perhaps many weeks, will be spent iii getting a ju-y. Much time ?rill bc consumed in examining and cross-examining witnesses. Before the trial is concluded, the Supreme Court will sit at Washington, and the Chiel Justice declares that he cannot be absent. Tbr consequence will be that the charge to thc j-iry, thc chief thing for which be is -.van'.ed, will devolve on Judge Underwood, and Chief Justice Chase will escape the re sponsibility of giving any opinion except on rafters merely preliminary or incidental. The pretence that ho cannot be absent fr.'m the opening of tho Supreme Court is a sub terfuge. A mij 'rity ot the judges would su (Boc to hold thu Supreme Court, which hus more than once opened and advanced far into its term without the presence of a Chief Jus tice. Notouly is thc proposed trial itself a tiumhug and a (arce, bot the maiigementol the Chit! Justice to evince a stimulated wil lingness to prest lc at it, and t ? slip out .on a feigned necessity at the critical-stage of sub mit.ng the c&se to a jar)-, is a more pit;fu; because a smaller and mo?%: Icky humbug lim the rost."' HONOURABLE A. P. ALDRICH.-The Hon ourable Judge A. P. Aldrich, o? South Caro lina, is at present on a visit to this city. We are glad to sec the Judge looking well, and in his accustomed vigour. He abates no jot of heart or hop."; because ol' bis suspension, hythe military nulhoritie-1, irom the exer cise of judicial functions. Ile still holds himself io boa constitutional judge of South Caroliua, under the Constitution ol' the State : and is no doubt we!' gratified to believe that he has lost nothirr >f the love, respect and confiden?o of his opie, in refusing to violai*: his oath of ollie nd in his resolution not to suff-.r thc ermin? of the judiciary to be dis honoured while on bis person. \\*e welcome thc Judge to Charleston, his native city, and Congratulate the District of Barnwell, on the possession of a citizen who has thc patriotism to do his duty under the laws of the land.

WHAT THE NEGROES DEMAND-NOT EQUAL ITY HUT SUPREMACY.-Very few whites and a great many negroes attended the Republi can Nominating Convention at Richmond, Virginia, Monday night. After his nomina tioa, Hu?.-jicutt made a speech for universa! manhood suffrage, regardless of caste, class or colour; and for a free school system, the money to build up and perpetuate which was to ba raised by taxation of ibo real and per 8 mai property of every man in the State. If rebels cont choose to send their children, lie will say to them, u You shall pay for free schools." He also advised thc disfranchise ment of pretty nearly all the whites, and the other candidates not only indorsed hi; pro scriptive ideas-, but went still further. This is from a white man. How the negro reasons is shown in a speech made by " Uncle Dick," lu behalf of the squatters on tho farms of ex rebels near Norf.Ik, who now refuse to re move, and threaten resistance to the officers of the government. " Uncle Dick," a vener able negro leader, said : " The Indians were the first owners of this land. The whites took it lrom them by force ; and we blacks took it from the whites by force. They have no right to it, and they shall not have it. We fought for it, and we are going to keep it. We don't care for the President nor Freedmen's Bureau. We have suffered long enough-let the whites suffer now. The time was when the white man said 'John black my boots,' and John had to do it. But the times have changed, aud I hope I can . see the day when 1 can say to the white man, 'John, black my boots!' and he will have to do it. I will never he satisfied until the white mau is forced to serve the black man, as we once were forced to serve them. 1 f they do not Jifcc that, let them go away\ We do not tn lend Lo allow sec* sh or Yankees to drive us oft" this land, because it is our.*. We fought /or it, and we will light now to defend it." CorxThY TRADE.-It is not often that we have seen td many wagons and country peo j.!c in town as on yesterday. Broad street presented a lively appearance with the wag ons and teams and driver?, extending up and down, unloading and loading Judging from appearances wc should suppose that quite a lively business was done during the ?ay, Our merchants will not object to brisk business.

The New York Times has the ndiowtijg Washington special : Previo-is tr the su'pen sion of Secretary Stanton he fixed November l<t as the time when certain of the railroad^, to which thc President' had granted exten sion on their indebtedness, should expire; T.:e Nashville and Chattanooga Road a short time since made application to Gen. Grant fjr a further extension beyond this date- j He has decided that-no more extensions will be given to Southern railroads. General Howard has made his annual re pm to General Grant. He says the amount of abandoned land in possession Of the Bureau is 215.021 acres, and ;he number of pieces of town property is 950". Thomas Ewing, Sr., the veteran and honest Whig politician ol Ohio, has conic before th? public in an appeal to the Conservative lt; publicans of the North la arrest the progress of Radical misrule. He advises that Con gress immediately retrae their foolish and revolutionary steps. Ile proposes that they instantly, at their meeting next month, re peal their Reconstruction Acts, and withdraw from the South their military force and all their pat tv machinery. He warns them that this will be done, if not by them, then by their immediate successors. This is coming to thc point. There is no middle ground be tween despotism on the one baud, and con stitutional liberty oi the other. Relief. A State Convention will be held in South Carolina. No matter what its political com plexion may be, t-.cre is one question which must, and wc have no doubt will, claim its attention-and that is, that some measures of relief from the pressure of indebtedness should bj extended to our impoverished p opie. The Convention is the only body that can do this -the S'.ipremo Court of the State having de c ded that stay laws, and indeed any other law giving relief to tue debtor, are unconstb tutional. We arc as much opposed lo repudiation, either of public or private debts, as any one could be. We have always held that laws in any way impairing the obligation of contracts were wrong ; but still we are passing through a crisis unparalleled almost in the history of any people. Thc necessity, al this tittie, for telit-f is greater tann at any time since thc close of Ibo war. Th" heavy ded:ne in cot ton, taking into consideration the extraordi nary expenses in making the crop, imposes upon the planters au indebtedness that they r-ouid not foresee. Instead of lessening their obligations, they must, as Jar as we can learn, iucrc-ase them, to enable them to prosecute, operations for the coming year. Time must be given to enable them to do so, and not on ly time to them, but time to every honest and industrious debtor, who manifests ari}' disp- sit ion to pay his debts ancLwork through the difficulties that surround and press bim now. Tho columns cf our State exchanges show lar<;e advertisements of sheriffs' sales. We regret to see this dispesition among our peo ple-to press to exeCut:on and sale the prop erly of their suffering fcllbw-citizcus. We have, ou more taao one occasion, declared that creditors had rights as well as debtors ; but we do believe that the forcing into mar ket generally of the property of planters in this Sta^e would be most disastrous, it it would not lead to universal bankruptcy. It is true, that the .order of Gen. Sickles-amounting nearly to a stay law in this State and North Carolina-is still in force ; yet an order sigu rd by Gen. Canny VAdjdtaut to m >rrow mi^ht repeal it, and before forty-tight hours crowds of harpies would throng our lawyers' offices to institute suits against debtors. This state of things does no credit to the boasted huuianr ty and benevolence of the age ; but that such :s the case, we k- ow. To the Convention, the members of which are yet to be elected, we must look for rel i? Cf The subject is of sufficient importauce l? make it a test question on'selecting candi dates. We verily believe, lrotn the expres sion of opinion in some of our State exchange.', that if the question of entire " repudiation' was put before t he people, they would chooHc its advocates. We do iijt want this:..but " relie'" in some shape must come.-Colum bia Phoenix. A Terrible Hurricane. NEW ORLEANS, October 28. The Picayune hu thc following later ad vices f) conltrm the destructive c??ecis of the late storm upon thc Rio Grande : El Correi/, of l'.'lh inst., says there was a hurricane, the'most terrible iu the memory of mau, on this frontier. A. perpetual bom bardment, tor a year, could hardly have done as much damage as happened from this one night's storm. Twenty-six persons were kill ed in Matamoros: 10 killed and 21 wounded at Brownsville ? at Bravos, so far as know:;, 12 persons perished. The schooners Etta and Cadosa aro blown high ashore. Only .two houses are left at Clarksville-none at Bagdad. The loss ot life at the latter place is not known. Ninety of the inhabitants escaped by going on board a vessel which rode out the storm ; the rest must have perished. Thc negro soldiers and their officers at Brazos are said to have acted infamously not only refusing all assistance to the strug gling and suffering families, but retired to a sheltered part of the island ; and ihe soldiers returned next day to rob the wrecked goods uuder the remains of warehouses and dwell ings. One of them shot and killed a citizen who detected bim robbing; Their officers, it is said, do nothing to check their brig?n dism. From a long list of damages at Browns ville, we extract the following: King k Ken nedy's warehouse roof blown off and build ing very badly damaged ; the county court h^use and jail completely destroyed, ar.d the I prisoners set at large. The entire rquare between Fort Brown, ! 14th levee and Elizabeth street has been de stroyed, including the Ranchero office and Masonic Hall. The office of bc Courier has the roof off. The residence of W. J. Stark, correspondent of the New York IfcraU. is completely destroyed. The Custom House wall is down, the Presbyterian Church is de stroyed, the post office building roof is off, the hotel and elegant billiard saloon of Miller is almost a ruiu, tLe ?rou buiidiug of Wilkin?, Heye & Co., is totally destroyed, thc Episco pal Church is destroyed, and between lOth and 1st streets seven brick and four frame houses are either totally destroyed or so badly injured as to be uninhabitable. In Matamoros, filteou hundred houses and huts were blown down.

THE PRINTERS: -A PARABLE ron MERCHANTS OK ALL CLASSES. Not exactly original, but eminently upropo*. There was once upon a timo a man and his brother who kept a store, and sold goods (Cloths, Cassimores, Roady-Made Clothing, and G cn tie rneys' Furnishing Goods) wholesale and retail. And they becamo melancholy, because custom mers were shy and limos hard. And they said: Lo! Wo are ruined, and the sonsation is disagreeable. And it is better to bo ruined quickly than to enduro ?low torture. Wc will givo our money away to^ the poor man -even to the poorost and most despised, which is ho who printoth newspapers, or hath anything to do with tho same; and will shut up our shop and wrap ourselves in sackcloth of desolation, and pass our days in cursing the hardness of the times, and rending our garments. And, lo ! they did as thoy had sai-!. And tho printer-ever Lo who publishoth news papers-was made glad by thc bounty of tho man and his brother who sold wholesale and re tail; and bc did sound their praises and print thom moreover: and did blow his trumpet of fame respecting thoso mens' dealings, from tho rising of thc sun even to tho going down of tho same. And bc-even tho wretched and despised prin ter of papers-did magnify and enlarge upon the stock of goods which tho said man and big brother bad in their store: and did publish tho Variety, and tho Excellence, and tho Newness, and the Beauty, and the Cheapness thereof, till the people-yes !-all ?/ them; far und near, wore amazed. 'Ar.rt'fhc people flacked to the store of this man and his brother, fr ?m. tho Nort\ and from tho S'.iilb, and from thc East, a:d from tho West. ." And thc printer rejoiced, and his "phut" did abound. f But thc man and his brptber conl-1 not ie^xe poor, and their melancholy ceased, and the smiles of happiness were upon thoir faces. And they became Mighty .Merchants in the land, by reason of tho dollars which many of tho people who read their advertisements, poured into their money bags. And ibis man and bis brother are still there, at ITT. and 2H, Broad Street, Augusta, Ga. And their natno is Sniox. And their firm is known os I. Sixos k Bno. And ono of their liberal Advertisements, the. secret of their success, is to be found in this pa per. And if nil merchants would follow tho wiso example of this man and his broker, their " phat," as well as thc printer's, would abound, and over flow, and run down in grateful streams upon friends, i.cigbbors, and servants.

All claims ogaintt a bankrupf who applies after next March, will, as a matter of course, bc proven. Section 33 of | thc law, in relation to tho fifty per cent, is a? follows : " And in all proceedings in bankruptcy, commenced after one year from the time this Act shall go Into operation, no discharge shall be granted to a debtor whose assets do not pay fifiy per cent, of thc claims against his estate, unless thc asront, in writing, of a majority in number and value of bis creditors, who.have proved their i?ainiF, ls filed in the case, at or before the time of application for discharge." ^ET- It is said that Mr. Seward, Secretary of Statestill keops up tho ridiculous parado of a ' military gu II rd boforo thc door of bis private residences.

J. Elford. The following correspondence..,!* published by equest of tho Edgcfiold Baptist^j?nday School; EncKKiKLn, S. C., Juno 4tb, 1S59," To thc Greenville R-iptiit Sunday!Schorf : '', : We have been appointed a Cdmmftij?B by.rte Sdgeficld Baptist Sunday School lo communicate o you their doop sense of your-accent toss in thc loath of your devoted Superintendent. They lifer you their sincerest sympathy. ;tfiey claim be privilege of mingling their tears with yours it tho grave of one, who during ibo last twenty poars, labored most successfully in the cause of sunday Schools. Although the loss is directly ind peculiarly yours, it is not youri alono. Tho Baptist Denomination (may we not say all thc Denominations?) of tho South sharo it wish you. If tboro was one man to whom, moro than to my jotter, the many Sunday Schools of our land )we their present prosperity, that man was C. J. ELFORD. Down to his .day, some of these bad ?listed for twenty-?vo years, and somo of them br even ?fty years; but they hod barely existed. 411 their exercises bad been conducted in a dull, monotonous, uninteresting, nnd uninspiring way. Tbo teachers, with few exceptions, felt no lively ?oncern, no warm zeal in their Sunday work; ind tho children manifested but littlo interest, still loss anxioty, and not tho least enthusiasm in reference to their religious instruction. Kow, all ?j changed, and changed for the better. Every Church feels tba importance of gathering togoth >r tho cbildron on tho Sabbath, to teach thom 'tho way of life and'salvation ;" tho members uro "z lalously affected towards this good work ;" md tho cbildron themselves are perfectly cntbu itastic with regard to the Sunday School. Kow ;hey say to their follow-pupils : " Como, let us lasto to the Sabbath School ;" and to tho young irbo have never joined them : " Will you come to our Sunday School ? I really wish you would ; 0 como .'o? juin our Bible class, And leam how to be good !" And who is there that does not catch somo in spiration when bo hears them sing, with all their toni, " Yes, I'm glad I'm in this army, And I'll battle for the School." This glori':. . -bango bas been wrought in a jreat meagre, by tho agency of o single indi vidual, your lato Superintendent. He deter mined, if possible, to make the Sabbath School ittraotive to the young. It was a noble dctcrmi lation. That ho might accomplish it, ho gave nn .cst to the powers of bis vigorous and practical nind. Succoss, at last, crowned bis pc-sever ince, and thousands of children now truly regard ;hat "School as a blessod place," and really 'love to meet their teachers there." What great :r reward could bo havo wished ? In conclusion, we would say, that, although .here was a time whon the servant of God conld uitly complain that when " the righteous died, io man laid it to heart," yot this is not true in )ur day, and In our land. When a valiant Chris tan soldier falls upon the field, a sigh escapes rom the lips of all who aro fignting undor the lame conquering banner of tho cross. When wo see a skillful and zealous laborer called from thc iccncof bis useful toils, just when those toils are nost needed, we arc sad, wo weep, and we pray hat thc "Lord of tho ilarvost would send forth noro laborers of thc same kind into his vineyard."

Baptist Sunday Sehool, Greenville, S. C. NKGHO TYRANNY.-We learn that a few of the would-be leaders among the negroes of this city, doubtless acting under instructions from the Military Mayor, were active yester day in calling on thc few conservative colored men who had not. voted and who declared [heir indifference to mixing in thc contest, ind gave them notice, that unless they voted, I bey should not remain in the city. Great exasperation was exhibited toward these peaceable and law-abiding colored min, and lht-y openly proclaimed their determination to force every registered negro in thc city to go to thc poll?. Thc exhibition of such relentless and in - tolerable tyranny over their own race show* clearly what we must expect in their conduct toward the whites, should they, through th? Convention swindle, get into power. These leading negroes are as bitter and vindictive against the whites now as their progenitors were to each other in the tangled thickets and deep jungles of their native Africa.-Au gusta Chronicle. WnAT THEY WANT.-Thc Radica's want negro suffrage as a means of helping their party. That ii all. They do not, as a party, demand it as a right legitimately belouging to the cok red people. Tho key to th? whole thing is given in this one sentence from the New York Tribune : " If thc blacks are not i-nfranchised, Yallandigham could beat Gen. Grant fur President." That is the rub. The white people-tho intelligent masses-ure against them. They must have an element which they can control, and which is sulli ciently powerful lo put down the opposition rf thc people. That clement is to bo found in thc ignorant freedmen of the South, who rote from prejudice and without any knowl edge of the influence of party politics upon ihe country.-Detroit Free Press. RF.GIN OK TERROR-Tho following para graph, from the Wilmington Post, is su2ges lire of much that is terrible. If men aro to 5C dragged from their homes, and carried to i dislance, to bo tried by military commis sion on charges of crimes committed two rears ago, in times of general lawlessness, who is safe ? " Two white men, named Humphreys and Townsend, were arrested in Robeson County ast Thursday, charged with the murder, in [8G3, of a colored man named Hector Oxen line, who, it was said, had p?otted the Fcde al troops on their way through that County. They wcretnken through this place on Thurs lay night, cn route fur Charleston, there to tndergo trial before a military commission." A young woman, last week, blew out tho ;u in her room in a Chicago hotel and went tn leep. lier funeral took piace :he day after. ??t~ California yarnists tell of a lake in which aw bides mr.y bo tanned in six days, and a dirty hirt made snowy wh?to by wotting and twice ringing out. ?3T* On Sunday, tho 13tb, in tho German Rc jrincd Church, Canton, Ohio, a man rccenllj ischarged from tho penitentiary approached hit ifo, divorcod sinco bis incarceration, and de mnded a kiss, which, tho young woman was in ie act of giving him when ho plunged a butebe-* nifo into ber eleven times, sud Hod.

DeFontaine, Esq., for the particulars concern hag the important murder trial last week : The trial of Alexander Bryce and nine negroes, ou the charge of the murder of Miles M. N. Hunnicult, took placo at Pickcns C. II. on Thursday, before his Honor Judge Hawkin?. The Stale was represented by ?le Solicitor, Hon. J. P. Reed ; thc prisoners by Generals McGowan and Easley, Messrs, Nor ton and Adams. The evidence and argu ments occupied two days, and the jury, after an absence of half au hour, brought in a ver dict of Guilty with reference-lo December Gadsden, Nat. Frazier, John Keith, Jack Walker, Green Cleveland, Jr., and Jackson lienderson-all colored. Not Guilty with reference to Alex. Bryce, (white,) and Cap taiu Deane, Bob. Breckenridge and Mark Adams, colored. The testimony of the President of the Un ion League proved that all of the parties nam ed constituted the guard sent out to arrest Bob Smith, the white man who bad fired a pistol in the neighborhood of the League; that n portion of ibis guard were armed with guns and pistols, and under the direction of Jackson lienderson as Sergeant ; that De cember Gadsden, the vice-President of the League, from the description of bis size and !aia bearing on the occasiou, was the one who fired the fatal shot which took tho life cf 70ung Huunicutt, the others being accessory to the crime. It also appeared in evidence ?iven by both white and black, that the ne jroes used the most violent threats and lan guage, imprisoned the white men present, in the Academy, and evinced a desire to prolong the disturbance and resort to arms. The case was ably presented to thc jury on the part of tho State, and Generals Easley and McGowan defended the prisoners with more than usual eloquence and power. The Judge charged the jury on the law clearly, and both law and fact was then submitted to their consideration, wilh the result above ?tated. Thc sentence of thc Court was that the parlies convicted should bo executed at Pick ens on thc 6th of December next.-Aadcrson Intelligencer 30lh. IMPORTANT DKC/STON.-His Honor Judge Moses made an important decision last week, in the case of Summers vs. Lyles. Messrs. G arlington & Saber for the Plaintiff, and Mr. C. Carlington for the Defend int. The facts proved were, that Lyles erv ployed ti servant (freedman) who bad c mtracted with the plaintiff for the year 1SI?7. as a farm la borer, arid left his employment ; and when the plaintiff demanded the servant, tue defen dant refused to send him back or discharge bim. There was no pioof that the defendant had enticed the serrant away from his em ployer. The case was within the Summary Process jurisdiction of ihe Court, and His Hocor de cried fur the plaintiff damages for the injury. The qncs'ion involvedls occ of general in tercst, and it is supposed that it will bc taken up on appeal_.Newberry Herald. 63?? The Middletown, Ct., Conttiiulwu tells tho story of a JIaddam youth, who stole SI00 from his grandmother, and eloped with a woman forty years of ago to New York. His father fol lowed him, found his whereabouts, and was pr eceding to thrash tho woman when she called iu thc police and had him arrested. Sometimes one gets along without adver tising. Instances arc given of pilgrims reaching Mecca on their knees. It is easier, pleasanter, swifter, to travel in tho enr3.
