The editor sat in his sanctum, his counte I nance furrowed with care, His mind at the bottom of his business, his feet at the top of his chair; His chair arm an elbow supporting, his right - hand upholding his head, His eyes on the dusty old table, with differ - cut documents spread. There were thirty long pages from Howler, with underlined capital stopped, And a short disquisition from Growler, re questing his newspaper dropped; There were lyrics from Gusher, 'the poet, coicerning sweet flow'rets and zephyrs, And a stray gem from Plodder, the farmer, describing a couple of heifers; There were billets from beautiful maidens, and bills from a grocer or two, And his best leader hitched to a letter, which inquired if he wrote it, or who? There were raptures of praises from writers, of the smooth and mellifluous school, And one of his rival's last papers, which in formed him that he was a fool. There were several long resolutions, with names telling who they were by, Canonizing some harmless old brother, who had done nothing worse than to die; a * * - * *~ There were long staring "ads" from the city, and money with never a one, - Which added : "Please give this insertion and send in your bill when you're done;" There were letters from organizations-their meetings, their wants, and their laws Which said: "Can you print this announce ment for-the good of our cause ?" There were tickets inviting his presence to festivals, parties, and shows, Wrapped in notes, with "Please give us a notice," demurely slipped in at the close; In short, as his eyes took the table, and ran o'er its ink-spattered trash, - There was nothing it did not encounter, ex - cepting perhaps it was cash. . [From the News and Courier.] THE TRIAL OF CARDOZO. The Argument of CounseL COLUMBIA, S. C., November 5. The Court of General Sessions con vened at 10 o'clock. A large crowd of spectators were present, and surged into the hail the mo Smernt the doors were opened. SMr. Miles arose and addressed Sthe jury. He said the case had Staken such a. wide range that it Swould be his aim to bring it back 2 to the point. He restated the D charge, and the law in relation to Sthe offcnce. The object in this > case was to defraud the State and -. rob the treasury. The means Sused were simple ; it was by means of a fraudulent pay certificate. o The indictment in this case sets Sforth the overt acts, the making and paying of the fraudulent cer tificate. Thbe proof of a conspira Scy is sometimes a matter of much nicety, as it must be inferred from the actions of the parties. In this .case it has been proved on the -threshot.d of the case as a fact. The case was simply this, that at an extra session of the Legislature in 1873 there was an appropria tion of $75,000, whbich could only be drawn through the regular channel. When all the certificates had been drawn, it was found that n four thousand dollars remained , undrawn. At the invitation of the treasurer the officers of the two houses met the treasurer in his office, and there it was arrang - ed that a certificate should be - drawn for that amount and ex changed for a certificate of' indebt edness to the Republican Printing SCompany. The fraud commenced just here. It is not necessary to grove that any of the conspirators got the money, or that the pay certificate wvas actually made out and signed. In the contemplation of the law the agreement to de fraud constitutes the conspiracy. It is not necessary for the State to prove any overt acts, but the State has proved that each one did what be agreed to do. Gleaves and Lee signed as presiding officers, Wood ruff and Jones attested as clerks, and Cardozo paid as treasurer. r-Thbe conspiracy charged is to de fraud by means of "false tokens." FThere are five defendants. One . has fled, and thus virtually ac - knowledged his guilt; three have confessed on the witness stand, G and it remains for you to say whether the remaining one on trial is guilty. Lee and Woodruff have testified - so absolutely to thbe facts that there is no way of escape except through breaking down their testimony. * This may be done on several e grounds: 1st. They were accom s, plices, and the evidence of an ac L complice must always be taken lwith allowance. Tfhe opposing c counsel will probably present this t view to you. You will have to consider which is the baser, the criminal or the accomplice, the de fiant or the repentant criminal. T is sometimes impossible to convict without the evidence of accomplices. The jury are to de termine their credibility. Such evidence being corroborated in some material issue, the jury may infer that all is true. The rule in South Carolina is that corrobora tion is a matter for the jury to consider, though the judge may advise them. The whole case is summed up in Lee's testimony, against which the defence has op posed nothing except the defend ant's unsupported denial. Lee is confirmed by Woodruff in the matter of the exchange he made with Cardozo for the pay certifi cate for $4,000 belonging to the Republican Printing Company. The manner of the exchange was very simple. Woodruff held the certificate for $4,000. Cardozo held certificates of the Republican Printing Company to a large amount. Woodruff gave Cardozo a receipt for $2,400 which he did not take from him, which $2,400 was divided between - Cardozo, Gleaves and Lee ; the remaining $1,600 being divided between Woodruff and Jones. Cardozo tes tified that on December 11th he issued $105,800 certificates of in debtedness to the Republican Printing Company. That was where the $1,600 came in. Lee's testimony is also confirmed by Woodruff's diary, which was a private record duly posted from day to day, and at a time when Woodruff could not anticipate the use now made of it in a court of law. The counsel on the other side have frequently and faceti ously alluded to it as the "whirl igigv book ;" possibly like the whirligig of Time, it will be found to have brought about its re venges! At the time this diary was written Woodruff and Cardozo were friends, and Woodruff is con firmed by the books of the Re publican Printing Company. Lee's testimony is further confirmed by the books of the treasury. A cer tificate for $4,000 is among the drafts on the $75;000 appropria tion, and without it the books would not balance. The defence has tried to show that Cardozo could not have known there was an unexpended balance of $4,000, as he did not know what warrants had been drawn by the Speaker or clerk. But the president of the Senate, the Speak er and treasurer had the books, and they knew how much had been drawn, and had it in their power to issue warrants of any kind. Whether Cardozo knew it first or whether Gleaves told him afterwards makes no difference ; it is just as much a conspiracy. Lee is further confirmed b)y the test set by tbe defence. The defence said Cardozo did not pay that certificate or any fraudu lent certificates, and that denial enabled the State to bring the certificate in. When going to Washington it was agreed by the committee to borrow the money and give Gov ernor Scott a pay certificate as se curity. That certificate was drawn just as the Frankfort certificate was, viz: in the name of a ficti tious person, so arranged that by inversed initial they would know which person was intended. Mr. Scott did discount and pay it, and wrote that Mr. Cardozo promised to pay this out of the first money collected for taxes. This clearly shows Cardozo must have known and participated in conspiracy. The defence rests entirely upon te evidence of Cardozo himself, as his only other witness was simn ply corroborative, except so far as one of them attempts to contra dit Woodruff. The practice of allowing defendants to testify is recent in this State. Woodruff said he offered a Cardoza a bribc, and that Cardozo did take it he proves by the Merriam certificate. Cardozo said Woodruff brought the Merriam certificate to him for a present, and ho (Cardozo) r fused it with burningx indignation, and made him sit down and w rite upon it, "cancelled, unused," and sign his name. Cardozo kept the certificate without any effort to punish Woodruff, but kept it to prove his own good character ! Tfhe introduction ofthbat certificate in favor of Merriam by the defence opens the door for the State to in troduce other certificates showing, beyond doubt, that the entire batcb., from No. 149, were those intended to cover the fraudulent use of the $20,000 which was di vided among the conspirators, drawn in fictitious names, so that, in putting the Merriam certificate in as evidence of his good charac ter, he opened the door to the overwhelming proof against him self, by the fact that all of those certificates were of the same char acter, same issue. and divided among themselves! In defending himself lie makes the statement that it was no part of his duty to know whether the endorsement was genuine or fictitious-but that it was the duty of the presiding officers of the two houses-which is perfectl asd fr- the endorse mont is made after the warrant has passed out of the possession of the person whose duty it is to draw it. How could it be possi ble for the .presiding officers to know the endorsement? It was the treasurer's duty, clearly, and when he asked who is C. L. Frank fort ? and the answer was "I don't know," he said "there is trouble in this. I will have nothing to do with it," thus showing that he did think it part of his official duty. Not only does he prove that he did think it his duty, by asking the question, but places himself on record in his report. Hardy Solomon overwhelmingly contra dicts Cardozo. You must believe either that Hardy Solomon or Cardozo has perjured himself. Cardozo, while in his high posi tion, so hedged and defended him self against the possibility of ex posure by bringing up the very law itself, but, thank God, it is not so here now. He has dis graced his State-has brought his race into shame and reproach. He has brought the morality and religion, of which he was so pro fessed a supporter, into contempt, and' he stands here before you to day charged to answer for his shameless betrayal of his sacred trust. And I charge you, gentle men of the jury, in the name of law, in the name of morality and justice, in the name of the prjde you feel in your fair State, that you defend her from such disgrace and reproach, and true deliverance make, in the fear of the God that is above you, that your State, your race and your name be not longer tarnished with such stinging dis grace. Judge Melton for the defence followed. He began with the usual appeal to the feelinge of the jury, with a flowery and pathetic description of how history repeats itself, and that when one party goes up another goes down, and the rising party ever inscribe upon their banners "Retribution and Revenge." He alluded in amus ing terms to the "whirligig book of poor shivering Joe Woodruff," which was like the conjurer's trick, "now you see it and now you don't see it." The learned counsel hoped to live to see the day when the host of thieves who were interested in the downfall of the leader of his party should be marshalled here and be placed where this innocent man is placed and let him become the witness against them. Nothing is so str ong in p)roof of his (Cardozo's) entire innocence as the indisputable fact that when out of the jurisdiction of the Court, beyond the reach of the St ate's officers, he, this brave man, conscious of his innocence, comes willingly of his own accord, and bravely says: "May it please the Court, here am I! I demand to meet my accusers face to face, and am ready to make answer to the State for any charge she may have against me." Tbe eloquent counsel fired a parting shot at the reputa..ion of the witnesses against the defendant, who were already protected from the retribution so justly due them by the nolle pros equi and now, feeling free,. were scattered around here and there, (pointing suggestively in the di rection of persons among the au dience.) Ho next attacked in a purely technical way the phrase ology of the indictment, and gave a learned and technically correct defnition of an indictment, point ing~ out some of what he was pleas ed to cali its defects, and compli menting the prosecution by de scribing it as a "most beautifully and artistioally drawn paper;" which description raised quite a smile upon the usually sedate face of thbe Attorney-General (Conner,) who quietly made a memorandum with his pencil, and the general impression was that it bodes no good to the accused. He contin ued with the general charge that the remainder of the angelic host of witnesses are three thousand times as guilty as the accused. le admitted that the defendant "may have stolen thousands upon thousands of dollars from the State," he "may even have gone and put his iron grasp upon a red hot stove and gone away with it I" but that was nothing to do with tbe case. The jury were to decide whether Cardozo had conspired to rob the State by means of a cer tan false and fraudulent pay cer tificate described in this indict ment. He admitted believing the witnesses in so far at least as their testimony against themselves is concerned. He asked if any one had heard him say that there was never a fraudulent certificate paid by Cardozo ? lie never said it, that was not the issue. He had said again and again that these raudulent certificates were issued and paid ; but Cardozo did not know that they were fraudulent, and he was compelled to pay them upon the issue of Lee, Woodrufi and Jones. and while p)rotesting against them he paid them because he could not help it, and "I tell you, gentlemen of the jury, upon my repuntation as a lawyer, that1i6 the law." It was impossible for him to know whether the endorse ments were true. He could find out only by common rumor, for the instant Cardozo began making inquiries everybody bushed, but when there wassomething to show -him that they were fraudulent then he promptly refused. They had never brought it home to him that he ever paid a fraudulent cer tificate, knowing it to be fraudu lent. He has acquired the enmi ty of every man, both honest and thief, who had a certificate, fraud ulent or not, for not paying claims when the appropriation was ex haueted. The eloquent counsel read from the printed reports to the effect that Cardozo had been compelled, in pursuance of law, to pay these claims, and read a tabulated state ment containing hundreds of fig ures, sufficient in themselves to bewilder a jury composed of pro fessors of mathematics in a Ger man university, the general char acter of which was to show that Cardozo had paid such claims, and was completely disgusted with being compelled to do so. As an alternative he must either begin a wholesale prosecution against the perpetrators or resign his office. If he refused, then the result was that Moses, Lee, Woodruff and Jones would instantly cut off his official head and.put a worse man in his'place. The counsel admit ted that Cardozo voted for Moses, and acknowledged that be would do it again in the same contin gency, saying that our little Gov ernor had many little pleasantries about him, and was above making money out of a little matter. Judge Melton then attacked the testimony of the principal wit nesses upon the general ground of their personal character, and upon the specific.ground that it was in admissible, as being the unsup ported testimony of accomplices. There was abundant evidence of a conspiracy, but the prosecution had utterly failed to connect Car dozo with it. The defendant had powerfully supported a former attorney-general (Melton himself) in an attack on these very frauds. The defendant alone broke down the Solomon's Bank. He had re fused large-bribes and could not be guilty now. The counsel's ar gument, which lasted five hours, was powerful and brilliant, and surrounded his client with every barrier of defence known to the lcaw. Attorney-General Conner follow ed for the State. He began by saying that he had hoped to close this case without any allusion to politics or sympathetic influences. Taking up the career of Governor Moses, he dissected it thoroughly, and showed the shameless frauds that characterized his political ad ministration. He reminded the jury that Cardozo was on trial for con spiring to defraud the State by the "C. L~. Franfort" certificates only, and warned them that if not guilty of that Cardozo must be acquitted. He commented upon the argument that Cardozo would not stoop to so small a bribe, and showed up the brilliant prospects and career of Vice-President Schuyler Colfax,who passed from honor to oblivion for the insignificant sum of one thous and dollars. Colfax fell before the little black book of Ames, and Car dozo fell before the little book of Woodruff, whose little "curlicues" may squeal when thieves quarrel among themselves. The production of "C. L. Frankfort" would have cleared Cardozo instantly, but no one ever saw or heard of him. The attorney general then disposed of the charge that the evidence in this ase was manufactured by Wood ruff and Jones for this occasion as going too far, inasmuch as it in cluded the honorable members of the investigating committee. He next attacked Cardozo's evidence, the only evidence in his favor, and contradicted in every essential par ticular by the testimony of Zealy and others and by his own letters. He compared Cardozo's way of pay ing checks, without inquiry into their genuineness, with the prac tice of banks. He quoted from the treasurer's report for '73-'74 a long list of statements, from which it appeared that, while hundreds of just claims of laborers and others were scaled from 50 to 75 per cent., all the fraudulent ones were paid in full. He instanced the Christo pher and Frankfort matters, L. Cass Carpenter's claims, one of "M. F. Foreman," who Woodruff swears was F. J. Moses. He reviewed the testimony relative to the anti-Tax payers' committee, and the certifi cate which was devised to pay their expenses to Washington. The state of affairs the Taxpayers' com mittee complained was fitly exem plified, the public having been fraud ulently charged with the private expenses of the thieves' committee. He closed with a most eloquent warning to the jury to do their whole duty. Happiness is neither within us nor without us; it is the union of norseves with God. ADVERTISIIG RATES.

MASONRY DN INDIA.NA.-A Masonic Lodge in Indiana was presided over by a Master who had an exagger ated notion of discipline. One night he met his lodge in called meeting (not a member absent) to instruct them in the work. Teaching them the use of the gavel, he had just called them up with three knocks, when he leaned too far back, fell through a window to the ground -four stories-and broke his neck. Picked up, next morning, he was buried decently, but not a Ma son came to the funeral. More strange still, not a Mason appeared any more in that village. It was inexplicable. Forty women were left widows, two hundred and ten children left orphans, eighty-four merchants left in the lurch with unpaid bills. Twenty years after that somebody went into the fourth story, broke open the door, and beheld the lodge, a lodge of skele tons ! Strange, but true, they had strictly obeyed the orders of the W. M., and, waiting for knocks to seat them, starved to death. Each was standing in an attitude of re spectful attention, "'looking to the East;" and had no pitying citizens taken them down, they would have bentandinga there still.
