Judge Wiggin lias .riven unflagging
attcntion to the dispatch of l>usine.?>
through the tedious term of court which
has becu in session since the fourth iiii
st int.
In tins as well as in the other counties
of his circuit the Judge continues to receive
praise for the manner in which he
discharges his acinous duties.
That a greater number of those charg
cd with violating the law have not been
convicted is certainly no fault of the
Solicitor. Mr. Lee has conducted the cases ;
in liehalf of the State in a very credit-j
able manner and proves himself to be an
able prosecuting officer. .
Doings aud Mis-doings of the I.aiv
makers.
It was with a sigh of relief that the intelligence
was received of the adjourn
ment of the General Assembly.
Considering the lack of legislative ex
perience of the men of which it was composed
it would he uncharitable perhaps
to indulge in too harsh criticism in refer- !
once tcTthe short comiugs of its members. ;
No fact, it would seem, could be more
apparent than the failure of the bulk othe
legislators to grasp the importance of!
the duties which they were called upon ;
to discharge or to see their way clear to I
properly cany out the wishes of their |
f' constituents whom ihev were sent to
represent. But for the incessant thundering
of the press throughout the Stac
a greater salary grab would have been j
indulged in by the members of the General
Assembly than had been enjoyed in
the davs when plundering was rampant
tinder Scott and Moses. But we are ;
willing to believe that their errors were
mistakes that arose from lack of jadg-j
ment rather than. a deliberate attempt
to fritter away time and secure for
themselves'a huge per diem. Credit is
due the Legislature whose session has just
closed for the passage of such Acts as
those relating to the fence law, to the
prohibiting the sale of seed cotton after i
sun set. to the reduction of the 'pay of
county commissioners, to the abolishi ig
the pay of managers of election, and to
prohibit the same person from holding
the office of trustee and teach a public
school at the same time.
Bat after this enumeration we have nearly
exhausted the list of public acts which i
this expensive and long winded assembly f
r |
has to show as the result of its drain uptfn !
the pockets and patience of the ta^-pay
ers. It has manifested an inclination to i
be generous to itself before-being just to
the creditors of the State! Although the
constitution (Art,*). See. ;>.) declares
that the General Assembly shall provide j
for deficiencies in the expenses of the ;
State bp^evying a tax sufficient to pay
su^h deficiency, our late legislature was
^- "Snrh difficulty brought to discharge
^ a part of its duty in this respect, being i
thoroughly aware that official salaries|
remaiucd unpaid for nearly half of the j
ivist voar not because the tax levy of the I
i?w- previous
General Assembly was not care
fully drawn ami ample in its provisions,
but on'acccnnt of the mass of State 1 ank
bills that were per force received for tax- j
cs, a legacy of indebtedness from ante !
bellum days. Tlie deficiency tax now
levied, even if it was ail colleete !, would
i
not be sufficient to pay more than one
half of the unpaid salaries and leaves t he j
school and penitentiary deficiencies wholly
unprovided for.
The attempt to ignore the bills of the
Bank of the State in the coming tax
collection is as miserable an exhibition of
weakness as is the silence betokening;
fear, about past due coupons and the i
bonanza warrants. The commencement ;
of suits in the United States Court will :
soon dissipate the delusive anticipations
of being let alone which are indulged in
* by these financial procrastinate:* and j
political novices. I
Thcv have been .-o much in the habit ;
of telling their fond constituents that a
millennium, of low taxation would be the
' I
immediate rcsnlt of their cut nut ee into 1
I
the legislative halls, that they are now
afraid ?f being detected in their falsehood,
and dread the collect i ti of a tax,
sufficient to pay the honest debts of the
State quid maintain an efficient adminb
tratiou of the government.
After the years oi" plunder and misrule
through which we have passed it
was not unnatural to expect a too _
rcac^on would set in, as mis cecurreu,
aud the State is f'Curate in Laving Governor
Ilainptou at its head with con-or :
vativc instincts and sympathies! to hold in

retreating before the Russians, and J
Krzeroiun i< not expected to hold ont six '
weeks. Its occupation by the Russians
is a foregone conelusi >n.
Orders have been issued by the Russian
Government to accelerate as much
as possible a levy of 1218,000 men. Pes- 1
pite this, the opinion continues to prevail
that Russia wishes to settle with
Turkey on tiro basis of the nominal integrity
of Turkey i:i Europe, and that some
such settlement will be advocated by
powerful persons at Constantinople, if
the Russians succeed in crossing the ;
Panube and assuming an energetic o.fcn- i
sire in Bulgaria.
It is beginning to be generally under-1

si lize the press, and that she is evidently

Judge Wright's Fall.
Judge Wright was lclievel of any
further duties as Associate Judge last
Thursday by his impeachment ot liigh
crimes and misdemeanors. Tom Hamilton
has been active in securing this
action by the House and was one of a
committee to go to the bar of the Senate
to impeach the unfortunate Judge.
When the committee reached the Senate
chamber Mr. Vomer, one of'.ho committee
said: "Mr. I'resident and Senators:
In obedience to the order <f the'
House of UepreseiiiiUives, we appear be
fore you, anjki'n the name -of the House
of Representatives aiul of all the people
of t-ho State of South Carolina, we do
Impeach J. J. Wright, one of the Associate
Justices of the Supreme Court of
the State of South Carolina, of high
crimes and misdemeanors in oihcc; and
we further inform the Senate that in due
time we will exhibit articles of impeachment
against him, and wfll make ,
good the same; an 1 we demand that the j
Senate take order lor tlie appearance oi (
J. J. Wright to answer to said impeachment."
The trial lias hcen postponed until the
next session, Tut thh action of tiic House
prevents Wright from acting as Justice
and as lie will doubtless see that he i
gone he may wisely conclude to resicn ]
the office for which iie lias shown him- \
self so uufitted. <
The Stafford's >1 I loads Case.
There is at last an end to the Stafford's
X Roa Is ea so and the juries have deelar- i
cd that nobadv is to be blamed for the
murder of Shuman and wounding of Do- ' i
loach. 'J'he twenty-lour colored men an 1
wniwti wi re tried last Thursday the jury
being compose l of a< black and ignorant ,
material as it was possible to find. Kvery
white man was challenged and before the
case opened it was evident that a ver- ,
dict'of acquittal was certain. Mr. Tillingha>t
asd>ud the solicitor in the prosecution
which was ably conducted, and the
dcflii I tuNswero represented by .Messrs
Whippcr, Williams and Wlieeler. The
case assumed apolitical phase and the:
jarv after several hours deliberation returned
a verdict of not guilty.
On Saturday Mr. Johnson, the constable
an 1 Mr. Ellis, one of the posse, were
tried on an in lictnient for the nunder of
K Iward Cheney, the colored man that
wa> killed during the riot. T!ie evidence !

saw Cheney holding Puloaeh f rom behind
while the latter was trying to point lib

Mary Cheney said she saw Cheney holdin
it Peloaeh and told him to let go, saw
no colored men that day nor evening and
did not know till next day tiint the whiu
men had been shot; Cheney's gun \v;n
found next day near where ho was shot.
Mr. Mulligan was the fir>t witness lot
the defense, lie recognized the warrant
produced in court as the one given t(
Johnson on Nov. 10; authorized him tc
get a posse and go in seared) of the met
engaged iti whipping a colored man.
After the departure of the posse scvera
colored men came up armed with guii:
and rifles and created such a disturbance
that he tried to quiet them. The r.io!

warrant was given to him lie refused t<
serve it as he had other business to attorn
to; told Mulligan he was unarmed whci
Peter Johnson, a colored man. handet
him an old pistol which he tied to tin
pommel of his saddle. Went to the housi
of.Moses Perry, and read the warrant t<
him and sain he must go along; Perr

consented to go. Went then to Mosc

Cheney's. The posse then startei
for Cheney's and when they came'ncar, ;
crowd of twenty-five colored men came uj
yelling; told them he had a warrant am
held it up to them; they replied that In
had no warrant and that it was a damnc<
lie and damn the peace. ?Saw in tin
crowd eight or ten gunsi others had clubs
The first shot came froiu the crowd, the)
a few shots afterwards a volley from ai

did not fire a shot as ho conid not go

Several persons for whom lie had warrants
lived in the place.

Recurring to the presentment made b;
this Grand Jury, at the last term ofcour
it is reminded that your Honor was requested,

that owing to the extremely straightened

deemed it advisable to deflect a sural
portion of its revenue to lhis purpo.-e.
However, the committee, cha-ged with
the duty of visiting these offices and rc
porting upon the same, beg to state tin.

its labor to such features as in its opinio)
i f most is "est to the general public and
;\s is well known the Fast Indebtedness o!
this county reached the alarming figui\
of $40,000, at one time.
PAST INDEBTEDNESS.
The Legislature passed a law, approved
Feb. IS. 1873, authorizing the levy of r
special tax ot - mills which contemplate)
ilie final extinguishment of this debt.
Under its operation the debt lias been
reduce ! at thotcn 1 of the fi-. il year cn 1jng
Oct. 31, 1S7G to $22,309.33.
It might be expected that the 2 mil
tax would have more rapidly extinguished
the above debt, than the above fignicindicate,
but it is a notable fact thai
whereas the discount at first realized fron:
the purchase of these checks was vcr\
large, it is at present nearly nominal, and
the great disparity between the net and
gross proceeds of this tax can not be bet
ter shown than by the following?to wit:

EXPECTORANT.
This unrivaled preparation has performed
some of the most astonishing
cures that are recorded in the annals of
history. Patients suffering for years from
the various diseases of the Lungs, after
trying different remedies, spending thousands
of dollars in traveling and doctoring,
have, by the use of a few bottles,
entirely recovered their health.

D R. TUTT!
Dear SirWhen in Aiken, laat winter, I used your
Expectorant for my cough, and realized more benefit
from it than anything I ever took. I am so well thaf
I wiU not go to Florida next winter as I Intended.
Send me one dozen botUee. by express, for some
friends. ALFRED CUSHIN3,

Boston, January 11,1874.
This oertlfles that I have recommended the use of
Dr. Tutt'a Expectorant for diseases of the lungs
for the past two ye&s, and to my knowledge many
bottles have been used by my patients with the happiest
result3. In two cases where it was thought confirmed
consumption had taken place tho Expectoranteffected
a cure. ' , R. H. 8FRAOX7E, M.D. ^
