Cotton Statement.—The following is the comparative cotton statement for the week ending March 23, 1883: Not receipts at all United States ports duHflg Bre frebk 99,285; to same time last year 61,832; total receipts to this Rate 5,232,857; to same date last year means. Section 6,4*0, under which tha warrant was issued, makes it a conspiracy for hny two or more persons to combi rte together with intent to violate any of the laws of the United States. The parties are charged under this section With com bining and conspiring to defeat the object of Section 5;511; In proving conspiracies thfe law does not require that the secret meeting which is supposed to have occurred shall be proven, but allows it to be judged by the overt acts of the parties so charged find by the combination together of parties doing these acts. ’ No direct proof of any meeting of these parties is shown to have taken place before they met at the polls, so that direct proof of the conspiracy charged is not before the Court. But certain overt acts are proved to have been comliiitted by certain of the defendants. Now, if these overt acts were committed by parties named in the war rant, and in the commission of thc(u they showed such combination as to satisfy the Court that they Were lifting in combina tion, not only must the Coilrt send up the cases for trial blit an indictment by the grand jury would lie. It would settle the fact of their secret agreement for this pur pose.' t find by the decisions of the United States Courts that any prevention of the free exercise of suffrage by a legal voter at the polls—no matter if it is at one moment that he is driven away and afterwards comes and votes—is in violation of Section 5,511. Such an offence is in evidence, given by numerous witnesses. Other wit nesses testified thjit they were frightened and intimidated by various means. The question is, were any of the defendants guilty of these acts, and if so, who? The Commissioner then called over the names tit Messrs. J. T. Dawkins, Amos E. Davis, Andrew Wallace and Nicholas Peay (colored), and stated as to each that there was no sufficient evidence to faold the accused to trial. . Sir, Bauskett then continued: Mr. Thomas McGill, Jr., is proved to have waved a board and ordered the crowd to stand back. There is no proof that lie struck any one. But it was an overt act, which Would bind Mr; McGill over if he were charged di3t‘.hctly with violating Sec tion 5,511 of the Revised Statute^. Mr. James Herron was active in pressing the crowd back; The testimony is that he waved a knife, pressed Voters off the box in front of the polls, and holding a knife; chased a wan through the crowd. Any force under the Statutes would be in violation of Section 5,511. Now, was there concert of action between the acts of Mr. McGill and Mr. Herron? Did there Npptenr to be a combination between these men? The only matter before me is Whether there was probable cause to connect the action between these two men in commit ting overt acts at the polls. I think there was, from the opening of the polls to two, p. m. / As to Messrs. Thomas Aiken, John W.tayleS and Hayne McMeekin, the Commissioner held that there was not B P3IXESS NOTICES. death with I’ve been so ADr*,faJ Tale.

Thom as McGill ttud James Herron be held to bail in the sum of $500 each, for their appearance at tliC April term of the United States Circuit Court, in Charleston. Tire bonds were imme diately given. The other defendants were discharged. - Colonel Haskell now submitted to tl(C Commissioner a question of juris diction—claiming that the accused should be recognized to appear at the Circuit Court for the Western District, to be held at DreenviHe. After a in’tef arJjiutfSnt by Colonel Haskell aurf it short reply from Judge Willard, the Commissioner held that he must fol low established practice and bind the parties over to appear in Charleston. It is expected tiiat this question of jurisdiction will be argued before the Circuit Court, in advance of the time of trial. The cases against the othei defend ants were dismissed—Commissioner Bauskett holding that the affidavits were not sufficient to establish any violation of law. The, warrante dis missed werS of the following charac ter: Tiiat against James Herron was for assaulting a United States marshall at Mmitieello. The only evidence in support tff this eiiarge is that which was bfought orfft in' the already men tioned case. The marshal had his lantfrrh kicked out of his hand before the polls opened, and one witness thought Mr. Herron was the nearest Democrat to tho marshal at the time. Nobody saw the lick. That was all the evidence, and Willard gave up the ignoble case because he saw that he could do nothiiig j with it. The other two cases dismissed were against four teen Democrats for conspiring to in terfere with and for interfering with deputy marshals at MonticcJJo jn the discharge of their duty. The Demd- crats charged under these warrants embraced’ a titimber of those just ex amined in the Dawkins case and dis'- charged in the failure of proof, to-’ 8 ether with several others. The evi- ence against the accused was totally insufficient to sustain any charge. [advertisement. ] TtlE I>A VIH BEIYING MACHINE. Certificates of Its Merits, from Different Purchasers in Fairfield.
