Many witnesses and jurors did nut get enough to pay l^their fare 011 the car*. ^ We shall hear no mure very soon < f dry weather alter the heavy and contin' tied rain that foil all day Sunday and until Tuesday morning. The rice planters will now have fresh water for which they were begtuning to suffer, and from what we leant they anticipate a large and profitable crop. In the Senate, oa Juac 2, Mr. Patterson introduced a hill for the relief of Robert Smalls. What the relief prayed for is we are not informed but it is 110 doubt a claim for services as pilot of the steamer Planter at the time of her escape. The verdict of the cornoner's jury in the case of Mrs. Smith having been given to the grand jury, that hody gave the caso a very through investigation, but elicited no evidence to show that the deccused lady had been unfaithful to her Iiusblnd. The graud jury report'(1 that "After careful examination of all the circumstances connected with this case the grand jury can see no cause to suspect that this unfortunate lady came to her death by any other hand out her own." The following is a copy ol ttie papji found in lier room and identifind by hei maid as Mrs. Smith's handwriting: June 4th 1S70 Caroline Susan Smith I die with perfectly sanr mind agd I wish and will that if my pnperty is ever settled aud divided or if even -evu so small a share is divided at any time before my Husband Fred R.

The treasure reported $780.54 on hand to the credit of the poor fund. The grand jury of Wil'iambur? following tbc example of the grand jury in this county, have appointed a committee to examine into the affairs of the county officers. We hope should they discover any mnl-administration that their researches will not be denounced na "partisan" and "instigated by the devil." Mr. Editor. We sug"cst that some m^asur s be taken to stay the incoming tide of vice among us. There seems to he no obstacle in the way of an easy establishment of whatever form of iniquity onechooses to introduce. Willing landlords arc found to rent their buildings at a high price to whoever may ?PP'y, ?? matter for what ' purpose required. Vice is contagious and these plague spots will consume the vitals of our moral and pecuniary prosperity. Let fidelity to right and conscience on the part of those who dep'ore the evil among us decide the term of its existence. * Ekteukd St. IIkleka 8otr?n>.
