The Virginia Legislature lias ad- i'
pjC journed sine-die. And Mahone didn't |
get his gerrymander through after all. :
The game evidently is to convict
managers only. Iutimidators are left;
to the mercy of Warren K. Marshall j
and a Democratic jury.
Gliteac's appeal will be heard on
the 10th of May, lieed appearing as his j
counsel. Scovillc has officially withdrawn
from the case.

and adds that 5>hipherd is a crank who
ought to go before the grand jury. Is :
B* It another case of Mulligan?
All that Mr Melton desires is to j
jg~> hack the Democrats, and he will gladly
promise to suspend judgment in- j
definitely provided he ran induce them !
to ask for mercy. The Democrats have j
I Mr. Melton, and they will nut gratify i
liim now.
Attorney General Brewster wears i
? velvet coat, ruffled shirt front ami i
sleeves and patent leather boots; rides !
in a gorgeous yellow carriage with a |
eoat of arn>s on it as big as a soup ;
plate, and keeps people waiting fori
dinner. Besides this, his face is hide- j
ously scarred from a burn. May 'lis i'
soul never be scarred in a similar way.
That was a terrible misfortune
which befel Mr. Samuel G. Henry, of
Richland, on Friday. His four daughters,
in the bloom of youth, while on
a picnic excursion are suddenly stricken
to death by the explosion of the
steamboat boiler. Such a bereavement j
U most appalling' in its nature, and
calls for the deepest sympathy.
When Mr. Warren II. Marshall was
^?ent to Colleton and Barnwell to sift I
the election cases, he evidently used an j
Jfe; exceeding fine sieve, as he caught j
about seventy Democrats and no Re
fpjitf- publicans. Yet his first case was an j
ignominious failure, and the seconc1 i
W& trial now in progress appears equally i
ridiculous. Mr. Marshall is not a sue- j
ifc'-. iii! a trinnowpr ofthfi wheat from
the chaff.
Some sacrilegious wretch has stolen
the Senate Bible, which for fifty-three
years had been kissed by Senators
great and Senators small in taking
their oaths of office. It was bought in
the vice-presideucv of Mr. Calhoun,
who first handed it to John M. Clay*
ton, of Delaware. 0:1 which to swear i
_S|? his fealty. Among the others who;
kissed it that vear were Forsvth, J
X; Livingston, Webster, Benton, Freling- j
Iruysen, nayne ana jonu iyier. lr is
uot known whether Bob Ingersoll or
the Star Route thieves are responsible
for the theft.
We don't understand the true inwardness
of the Snmter compromise.
It is said that Messrs. Earle and Blanding
wouJd have no part in it, and left
(tie conduct of the negotiations to
?. JC ?- We do no.L..
who partly confessed to wrong, but
Uiat thev played into the hand of Mr.
Melton is evident by the love-feast that
took place in the court-room. Mr.
Moise expressed much greater reverence
for the Federal government than
he showed for the Democratic party
several weeks ago in his Samter
speech. It is hardly probable after (
this that Sumter will be a very desirable
factor ia a Congressional district. 1
\ While the government is engaged
in making ^var upon its citizens in '
South Carolina, it suffers whole villages
and mining camps to be destroy^
ed by Indians in Arizona. Over a
C hand red settlers have been massacred 1
by the Apaches in the past few weeks, !
and the troops are solving the problem
^how not to catch them" with great J
success. "The only good Indian is a '
dead one," and it would certainly be
more consonant with the dignity of
f gp * the government to catch or slay the
IP- rascally redskins than to organize a
similar raid itself upon civilized human
beings in the South in behalf of perV
K j tired and besotted office-seekers, who
R : are not good even after they are dead.
-Mr. Dallas Sanders hag been 1
<>rought into prominent notice during J
the past few weeks, through his con- J
jg Kef;? ncction with the political trials: and
owing to the excited condition of (
F M affairs down here inach has been said 1
L of an uncomplimentary nature abont (
him. "VVe formed Mr. Sanders' ac- s
quaintance during his visit to Winns- 5
ix>ro, and found him a well bred, nn
assuming, pleasant young gentleman. >
That he possesses ability is evident 1
from the high stand he has already '
taken. One who represented the *

tion, who has recently !>een elected a c
councilman on the reform ticket in
Philadelphia, aud baa been assistant to

ArroRXEr General Youmans made | *
jast such a speech m the Mayesville { c
; ? case as causes one's flesh to titigle and [ y
his hair to stand on end. Some of his i periods
and apostrophes are not to be t

cause and felt it, and he possessed the j a
uatnval gifts and t he burning eloquence j h
to cover himself with glory. Mr. Mel- ; f

high treason. The issue is f*st reach- i

was an upright judge. A court- of j
justice may be subject to another sort j
of bias, more important and pernicious, j
as it reaches beyond the interest of in j
dividuais and affects the whole com- j <
nmnity. A judge under the influence!'
of government may be honest enough !,
in the decision of private causes, yet a j j
traitor to the public. When u victim
is marked out by the ministry, this

The case of the Barnwell defendants
for obstructing the polls consum- J
ed the whole of the week, and was
given to the jury on Saturday after- '
noon. A nol pros, was entered in the :
case of several of the parties indicted. ,
The jury contains ten Democrats and J
two Republicans. Major James I
Pagan, of this county, is foreman. No '
striking incidents transpired during j
oi thepro^hitimr^fiMAH^f^eie^: No
verdict up to Monday.
Tiie Defence Fond.
Major Woodward, county chairman. J
has called on the Democrats of Fairfield ,
to contribute to the fund for the de- <
fence of the persecuted Democrats in <
Charleston. The State Executive
Committee has issned a stirring ad- j
dress, showing the necessity of stand- <
ing squarely by the parties that are s
indicted for the crime of being Demo- 1
crats. We canuot add anything to ;
what has been said. If any man needs j
arguments to convince him of his duty i
he is not alive to his own interests. ^
Good government means peace and j
safety. It means liberty to pursue
business operations with confidence.
In all financial operations, good aud t
honest government is a large portion
of the capital invested. To destroy ,
this good government, to foist upon us j
the rule of aliens, thieves and fools is <
the end and aim of the Federal prose
lutious. The Democrats now on trial *
3id no more and 110 less than their |
3ntv; no more and no less than was i
lone by all good Democrats from every ^
section of South Carolina. An attempt s
is made to swear away their charac- ^
ters and their liberty by suborned pernrers.
liars hired at so much a day.
ro undergo this is enough without injurring
pecuniary loss. We who are j
lot molested in our persons must bear r
>ur share in the expenses of our rcpre- *

;elfishness. c
YV e trust that the response will be 1

will allow. No time should be lost. ?

The Coming Crop. I
- S'
The Register has published a care- n
ully prepared article showing the crop c
>utlook for the present year. The data h
ire taken chiefly from the ^
March report of the State Asrricnltural c
Department, and the deduction-* are i A
nade by the Register. According to ! <*his
rrticle the cereal crop for South 111
Carolina will surpass that of any pre- ! ['
ious year. "We give some of the cal- j fi
ulations. There will be an increased j p
ield of 685,000 bushels of wheat and j 1}
',500,200 bushels of oats. Estimating ! "
he yield at 10 bushels for wheat and j <r
2? bushels of oats per acre, the aver- j it
ge is hardly too great, as the report for ; *(
:ist year showed an average of 8 bushels j ^
i>r wheat and IS for oats. The saving ; j(
n fertilizers amounts to 8,000 tons, or | li
?60,000. The repairs of fences last | sl
car <-ost $9(X',0u0. This year only i '
:io'),f>00 will be required, a saving of; p
S1O.O00 for these two ilems. Adding j t!
gain of $2,700,000 for wheat and ' |l
ats. the Register ciphers out a coin-> 1
>rtable little balance of $3,500,00 over
ist year in these items. ' n
Taking into consider, tion the favora- j
le start made in farming operations, j
ie Register predicts a crop of 1.300,- j
00 acres of corn at ten or eleven . fp
nshels per acre, or a yield of 13.500,- &
DO bushels of corn. This average we j fit
jar is too hiifh, but we defer to the !
? i
legister in such matters. i
The acreage in cotton will be pay | ai
,500,000 acres. TIjc average yield fjr 1 tf
he past five years is 187 pounds per j
icre, or of South Carolina for 1*7'J j
.*2 pounds, or a total of 600,000 bales ! t
A' 4'jO pounds each. Adding i i other i .1

This is a most cheering' prediction. '
tiid we trust it will t>e more than i 1
eali/.cd. We fear though the lley inter ' t
?as not taken into con>iderati<?n the ;
ieeliue in prices incident to a largely
ucreased yield. Hut it matters not j
whether the money total equals the j I
estimate, provided we secure the t\v<> i '
million bushels of wheat, the seven j

million bushels ot* corn promised. A i

Columbia, ?S. C., April 29.?Tlio ! '
errible loss of life which followed the 1
xplosion of the boilers of the steamer
Mill ion yesterday has cast a pall of '
madness and gloom over this entire
community. The steamer Marion be- '
longs to M?* srs. Coles & Cordes ami '
vva> chartered to the United States <
Liovernment for the purpose of reniov- 1
in^r obstructions from the Wateive 1
River. She was commanded by (.'apt. ;
Thomas E. Rhodes, and had a crew of '
about ten persons. TiiC people in the '
section of Richland countv, in the 1
neighborhood of Hates* landing, had
>ome time ago asked the captain to '
take out an excursion party for a trip 1
riown the river, and the fated 28th was
^elected as the day for the maroon. On 1
that in> ruing the Marion, which was <
nt Red lilufl'got ui) steam and proceed- j '
i'd to l>;,tes' Landing, arriving there 1
nbout 8 a. in. About 11 o'clock the '
i-xriirsion party, numbering about '<
thirty-live ladies and gentlemen from :
the surrounding country, came on <
?iui ;i fVw moments Inter tlie
I
vessel swung out into the stream with ]
ihe merry party, and started to drift <
down ihe river stern foremost. The '
captain was standing in the stern directing
the movements of the boat, and
the engineer was at his post, there being
eighty pounds of steam on the
boilers. The explosion occurred without
any warning sound, and within
less than twenty minutes after the
start had been made the ill-fated vessel 1
was lying wrecked upon the muddy 1
current of the swift river, with a uum- '
her of her passengers dead and wound- j *
sd. The explosion occurred on the 11
port boiler, which was blown almost j '

were two large piles of wood in the 1
fire room wliii-h acted as a support for '
the deck and thus saved many persons '
who escaped the scalding steam from
being crushed to death. The explosion,
of course, caused the greatest
consternation. Many of the passengers
were thrown overboard and others t
jumped into thj stream, some to save <

lady who was reported yesterday as 1
having been killed, was picked up [ i

scene of the disaster is about twelve or <

Extract from Attorney General You man's

On Friday tlic 21st inst., Attorney j
ieneral Youinans. in liis defense of the j
tfayesville managers, made an arjru- j
nent of several hours, of which the i
ollowiujr is a portion:
Mr. Youmans then reverting to the !
piestion of standing aside jurors by!
he Government said that there were!

led by Franklin #J. Moses, Jr. He was
x prodigy. He reminds ns of the disjoins
Emperorsof the decline and fall
aft he Roman Empire. A pro-consul
if the Verres type. But when the
. lash came between them on which side
lid the district attorney array himself?
Side bv side with Moses. It was on
his arm that Moses leaned, and it was
;>n his tongue that Moses relied as he
made that campaign through the Stale
iv hi oh resulted in temporary success,
but which ultimately terminated in the
low nihil of the Republican party.
Jud<reBond (interrupting:,) I don't
;oe. Mr. Youtnans, what that has to do
with the case. ^Mr. Melton is not on
[.rial here.
Mr. Melton: Let him go on, may it
please your Honor. Let him go to the
?nd of his tether. He has already gon<>
'oo far. I would prefer that tic nonilnde
and th?t I be allowed to answer
tiiin.
Mr Yonmans, continuing: When
Melton and Moses spoke in Charleston
St. Michael's bells, which had rejoiced
with the joys and grieved with the sorrows
of Charleston for centuries, were
<o shocked by their harangues that
,hey refused to chime the quarters or
sound the hour. The local poet of the
Jay says:
'SC. Mlcnnel's chimes were mute when Melton
spoke.
Mid Moses paralj-z-d their brazen stroke;
such shameless utterances 'neath the spire's
dark shade, '?
Wade the tower shudder and the clocic a'rald."
vv iiuu ine cusu'iui iiuunicv a iu
;peak for the people of South Carolina
:ie puts in a claim which we and all
>l her people in South Carolina deny.
Says a distinguished son of South
Carolina, now minister to the South !
American Republics, "To love South
Carolina was the creed of South Carolinians?a
creed which a statesman
might call nai row and a philosopher
might call weak, but broad enough it
was to cover them in life, and strong
enough to support them in death." I
And remembering that in her soil,
ivhi(?h to ns is sacred?that in her bos
Jin are reposing the ashes of the venerated
men and pure women whose lips
tind lives .Lave taught us^to love South
Carolina?that bosom into which we
will, when life's fitful fever is over, all
creep gladly as after a long day's sport
to sleep ttt her arms. 'I, the humblest
of her citizens, commissioned to stand
here in their defence to-day against
[his unjust persecution, speak the prayer
jf her sour and daughters when 1 say:
Withered be the arm tha* strikes her.
Uursed be the tongue that maligns her.
Hated be the foe that invades her. Bnt
withered! thrice withered? cure, d!

jf hers, native and to the manner born
who would raise his slanderous tongue
:o defatne her or his matricidal arm to
strike her. We read in profane history
that Coriolanus, who yielded to the
ears of his mother, halted his victories
legions beyond the yellow Tiber,
jut that Nero slew his mother and then
idtnired her beauty after she was a
corpse, and fiddled a goodly tune when
[tome was burning. We read that the
>ld Patriarch who floated in the ark on
he topmost wave that encircled the
jlobe, after the waters subsided, be ame
intoxicated, and lay uncovered
vithin in his tent, and that his sons

ire the talents of the district attorney,

Mr. Melton'i Reply.
At the conclusion of Col. Youman's
iddress, Mr. Melton closed for the
>rosecution. In the course of which
te spoke as follows:
And so I do not :ppeak for South
Carolina!. I thought i did. But I acept
the sentence. Then there are two J

tamrnering tongue to .speak, it shall be j
poken. 1 know that my distinguished !
iend in these cases worthily bears
Mill him (he commission of the Stale,
t. i* so "nominated in the bond." The
(formation which you try, gentlemen, i
i it< three counts charges upon the
iiizens of South Carolina the violation !
f the law of the State. It so occurs j
Kit by the Statute of the United State* j
Kit, too, is a violation of the law of |
le United States. Nevertheless the i
flc'iiee charged is a violation, in each j
ud every count, of the law of South j
aroiina. The attorney-general ap- j
ears here, geutlemen, bearing the '
gn manual ot the authority of the j
ie State for what, gentlemen? To j
2lVnd citizens of South Carolina who i
tve defied and violated the law of the : i
tate. (iod save the mark! I do not!
now whether these defendants be t'
uilty or not; that is for you. I do ; i

the Stare, us she now stands. culled j these
people to a reckoning? Whv j I
does not the State make inquest of it?!;
Why in his own court does not the at- j s
torney-jreneral in his zeal appear arid ;'

1 wiis the candidate for attorney-'t
ijeiieral of South Carolina on the rejru- ' <

tliat there is some otiier pl:n*e than

I thank my friend, hitler as he is now j
that he attache* to me nothing of mora! i
wrong, although on ordinary occasions j
to pronounce a man virtuous is noth-j
ing. i
Mr. Melton then went over the history
of his conheetion with the Slate
government, and claimed that under
his administration of the laws attorneyireneral
lie had made war upon cor
ruption in :iM the courts of this Stare I
and the Supreme Court of :he United j
States. He also claimed that while
attorney-genera: he reduced the St.itc \
deot from twenty-six millions to six j
millions, at which latter figures the!
debt stood at the time of his resignation
in 1876. Continuing, he said: in
tiie lifting of that terrible burden I
claim to have done it, Moses or no
Moses. Sir months after I resigned 1 !
had one Joscphus Woodruff as a client j
Sorrowful it is that I was 'bunted,*!
srrapped,' 'broken,' 'gone up/ For
this the press of the country has abnsed
me. I simplv desired Josephus to

could fool him with the idea lliat I j

a way that we nil have. 1 thank thcin
tor the remini.-ccnee. Oh, now, is not
that a pitiful and more hitter and disgraceful
mistake which they make
when they purpose that I will do violence
to tiie instructions I have, and
neglect to perform my duty, no matter
what mar be the public excitement
surrounding me. I defy it. I bow to
righteous public opinion, for that is the
voice of God. To nothing else will Ij
bow, so help me God, save to God liimc.l
F
Mr. Melton, referring to what he
called the present mode of conducting
elections in South Carolina, said: They
(the managers) go to the ballot box
I wilh eves closed and conscience dead.
Oh, that God with the electric fire that
he sends, would touch the conscience
of my people and awaken them to their
j duty and to their ( a iger! And, get
Clemen, it is to the loundation of outpolitical
life, the political individual
sense to which to which the attorneygeneral
of the United Suites refers.
What is the use of voting? What is
the use of public opinion? What is
the use of freedom of thought and action?
What is the use of political discussion
? Why send tor representatives |
of a party, and brimr them to the Cap?- j
tol to nominate their candidate? Why j
invite discussion upon me nnsungs m
every communitv? Why teach your
children the historv of tiie doctrines of
selves, and walk henceforth and forever
slaves, as you are, if these things are
to continue? You are slaves, and
every tuan who submits to it is a coward.
It is to restore the political integrity
of the community that we go back
to the homes of our forefathers, searc h
their teachings, and bring thein hen,
and have a Republic, a land of the free I
and a home of the brave, one which is
a real freeman's home, and not a delusion
and a snare.

duced to the herd of elephants among

; Bailey fo Hutchinson show. Eighteen
elephants, male and female, were
ranged in a line on the hippodrome
track, under control of Mr. Arstingstall,
their heads fronting the rings.
Jumbo was then brought out of his (
room by his keepers, Newman and
Scott, and marched slowly alonjr the
line. As he passed, each of the other
elephants threw out its trunk and ;
touched him, at the same time emitting
a little grunting or puffing sound,
while their little eyes were fixed upon 1
him sharply as he was within sight. '
Jumbo walked steadily, without oncc .
turning his head aside, but his long :
proboscis was kept 011 a roving commission
of inquiry all the way long, '
touching each animal, as if exchang- '
ing salutations.
Near the further end of the line i
stood Chief, the largest heretofore in !
Itanium's herd. When he saw Jumbo's I
huge rorm jooimng up ociore mm no :
put down his head in attitude for a '
charge at him, an<l it was with diffioul- i
ty thai, his hostile purpose was re- 'i
strained bv the stern commands of ]
Mr. Arstiiurstall and the sharp enforce- <
ments of his pointed steel persuaders. 1
A second time Jumbo was marched j
along1 the line and the former demon- i
strations were repeated, but without <
any further manifestation of ill-feeling ?
on the part of Chief. Then Jumbo
was allowed to stand before the middle

which time the probosces of all tlic '
others were pointed toward him and
he waved his trunk at thera all, as if
they were exchanging some sort of
pantomimic discourse upon the situation.
Hebe, the mother of the first baby elephant
ever born in captivity, seemed I
to attract his fancy, and for some time .
thev carried on together a little iuno- '
cent flirtation, exchanging kisses by
placing the ends of their probosces
to each other's mouths, and lrom time
to time caressing each other with their
trunks by a series of light taps and
touches. Then Jumbo \v:is without <
any difficulty driven back to his room,
