[Prom The News aid Cotur'zier.] A "Most Danable Conspiraey." COLUMIA, December 14.-Now that thc coisp)i racy to conviet Democratic citizons in the United States COirt by means of juries packed with Republicans and (Greenbackers has failed, it is a iatter of justice to those who stood l) for right against oppres sion that the public should be given their names, and on the other hand it is a matter of justice to the public to know the iames of the miserable gang who, under oath to well and truly try and true deliverance make, voted ev ery time in the jury-room to con vict ihniocent imell oil al)SolutelyN, nto proof, and who w ould have done so equally as speedily if the Gov ernment had not even gone through the farce of' a trial. The three men to whom the people of South, Carolina owe the deliverance of the defendants in the cases are AMessrs. Cullen Lark of Laurens, J. C. Long of Union, andl Ileze kiah Ellis ot Kershaw. These gentlemen were as umed by Mel lon and Speer, because of their Greenback and llepihlican sym ptathics, to be like the rest of their cringing millions of the panel, but they were mistaken. And to prove that the ef1ort was to con viet, 'estimlonly, MNeltonl eliminatedi t hese gentlemten from his select crowd just as fast as lie fouid they were niot, like the others, his slaves, willing and ready to (10 his dir-ty Work. Theli nams f, thle white jurors whlo in every cae in~ which they were usedl voted for convict ion, were iMidldlton Ray of~ Si artanhl urg, Ful11er Priekett of~ (O rangebu rg, C. C.

Arther of Oranigeburg, anid John) Agniew~ of (Cohlumbia. Tlhe negroes are not mfenltioneJid. iNothuingr better (could( be exp ected from them, but the niames abi ove giveni are whiiteC men. Thley have east their lot with the lowest elements of the 1Had ical party. ILt lhe people compesing the (commulnities in which they live see to it that they henceforth find (t1heir associates there and1 for'eever shut out as un ele'an thing2s fromn the threshioldl of' dlecent andi( respectale society. There can be no claim from these juror1s that they acted fromeconsci enltious~ reasons and founded their action upon the testimony. It is p)ositively known, and1 it dare not be deniedl, that these jurors, with the Republican neg-oes on the panle1, actuanly held caucuses and bound each other to vote for conviction before the cases were brought to trial. Was there ever such a travesty of justice in a free country ? Mr. Long, by whose manly ad herience to his oath as a juror the Marion defenIldants weIre saved 0rom conviction, is from a green hack famil v, and attended these Caucuses al'hough having no Qym pathy in their nefarious object. Melton thought lie luid Long all right, ) helause his henchmen re por-ted that Long had attended the caucuses(I'l was Ira<.'(-hIot for con Vict ion. But Long was play ing a gane that. \Ielton didn't under stand, and Melton got left.
