He was a son of Mr. i Calvin Buchanan, formerly a native of ! this place, and his father was a brother 1 of Dr. Buchanan, who resides here. < He was about twenty-eight years of age and was representing his county J in the State Senate when he died. He leaves a wife and several children. i LDEConra.?The State vs. John Bolick, colored, charged with disor derly conduct and going armed offen sively, came up before Trial Justice ^ Cathcart on Tuesdav. He was found . Ijgmlty as charged in the information, 1 Mfind as the evidence showed his behavior to have been considerably less . tihan decent, he was given thirty days ^ ijn which to reflect npon the valne of , good manners. - i ... e.

This mav hr? rlemom.]?zinor. but it is bnsi ness all the same. A Merited Compliment.?Our esteemed fellow-citizen Amos E. Davis, Esq., lias been elected a director of the State penitentiary. The trnst is an important one. The internal arrangement of this institution is a matter of serious concern to the whole State.The Legislature, therefore, in selecting Mr. Davis deserves the congratulations of the entire public. "We know of no better man to succeed Major "Woodward. Christmas.?Christmas has come and it has gone, and everybody seems to have been for the time being perfectly happy. The little boy has shot off his pop-gun, and he has called upon the entire community, the willing as well as the unwilling, to bear witn^s to hffs prodigious glee.

The troupe is . composed, of course, entirely of ama- > tears; but no fears need be entertained ( for the success of the thing on that , account. The play is gotten up under the auspices of the Little Kiver Bap- , tist church, and "the net proceeds of j the occasion will be given to the canse , of Home'Missions. A Negro Shot.?We have heard of 1 no fights in this county during the excitement of the season that have re- { suited in anv serious bodilv harm. ' But at Peak Station, Lexington county, on last Friday, it Is said that one ! Henry Simms, a negro, was shot by 1 the town marshal. The darkey was ' disorderly and the marshal commanded him to be quiet, whereupon he became ] insulting. The marshal clubbed him, 1 and the darkey threw the marshal ' down and took his turn at the club; 1 when the officer arose he shot him ! three times, but as he was not struck ( in rital parts, it is thought that the pills will not have a fatal effect. Jury Duty.?A bill was introduced ; into the Legislature at the beginning of the recent session "to exempt cer tain persons from jury service." "What IIIOJJVOJWIUU UiU iil&UC VA It >V ^ liO.? ^ ( not been able to learn. "We hope that it has not become a law. The Legislature has already gone entirely too \ far in this direction, and it is now, at ] least with us, difficult to draw an un- j exceptionable jury. To serve on the ( jury is one of the most important ; duties of the American citizen, and ] men who have a proper regard for the i general welfare certainly ought to , have no desire to divest themselves of this obligation. Rather than whole- i sale exemption let us have no exemp- , tion at all. ] m 1 c The Trial Justice System.?We bave before us a pamphlet' entitled ( "The Trial Jostice System of South ' Carolina; Answer to Some of the Criticisms Passed upon Officers of this Class." By Thomas M. Cathcart. ( Mr. Cathcart, to begin-with, points out, in the last report of the grand j jury, a possible source whence might arise misapprehensions unfavorable to ^ himself, and then proceeds to consider at length various objections that have been urged against the trial justice system. To apprehend fally his conclusions it will be necessary to read his ( pamphlet, which is a very carefully ( prepared and altogether temperate t l yayci . ^ ] A Mexican Newspapes.?We have ] received a copy of The Two Bepub- j lies, a newspaper published in the i City of Mexico. It is printed in Eng- i lish, and the nnmber before us gives ( in account of the reception by Presi- 1 Sent Diaz of the United States Com- I mission appointed to establish trade s between this country and Mexico, Cen- ? tral America and South America. The ? address on behalf of the Commission i was made by Ex-Governor Thos. C. 1 Reynolds, of Missouri; and President ' Diaz responded in suitable terms, i Ex-Governor Reynolds is a native of 1 soutn Carolina, out went to Missouri 1 before the war. Daring the war he spent some months in "Winnsboro, and made many acquaintances here. . The Rev. Fkank Ha'lla3i.?The < Rev. Frank Hallam left on Monday * last for Richmond, Indiana, to assume the rectorate of St. Paul's Church. 1 For the past two years Mr. Hallam j has had charge of the Episcopal churches at Chester, Lancaster, Ridgeway and Winnsboro. The arduous labors incident* to this extended field / he has discharged with credit to himself and for the advancement of all the , interests committed to his keeoiiisr. l Mr. Hallam is a talented man, a finished scholar and a fine preacher, and . his loss will be felt not only in the congregations he has served, but in the councils of the Episcopal church in this diocese. In addition t? bis ? .storal duties, > ilr. Hallam has for several months < conducted the Church Herald.
