She was brought on Friday bv her counsel, O. W. Bachanan, Esq., before bis Honor Judge Wallace on a ;yrit of habeas corpus. C. A. Douglass, Esq., represented the Solicitor. She was admitted to bail in the sum of five hundred dolars. Breach of Trust.?George Staggers was brought before Trial Justice Cathcart on Saturday last, charged with breach of trust with fraudulent intent. He had given a bill of sale of some cotton seed, it would seem, and subsequently made away with the seed. The writing was offered in evidence-; counsel for the defendant demanded strict groof of the same, which could not be given, and the defendant was discharged 011 his own recognizance. Ereatum.?In our last issue we say, "in the case of A. Willifon} & Sons vs. E. P. Moblev, Sr., and Marian R. I Moblev. Messrs. McDonalds & Donglass appeared for the plaintiffs and' \Y. C. Rion, Esq., for the defendants. On motion of defendants' counsel a nonsnit was ordered/' This was an error. The nonsuit was ordered only as to the defendant Marian R. Moblev. The plaintiffs took judgment against the other defendants by consent. Jbr "Tbiajl Justice Court.?While the Court of. Common Plea's is proceeding to dispose of questions between litigants, the trial justice courts have occasional, though it is said not frequent sessions. In one of these on Wadnesday a defendant was on trial for malicious mischief to live stock. It appeared from the evidence that the defendant had strack a.shoat belonging* to the prosecasing witness a tolerably hard lick with a piece of timber when nobody was present, except the hog and the defendant. . The accused said that he threw the timber at a dog and struck the shoat accidentally. *The court reserved its decision. - t Duty Well Dischaged-The prompt and efficient- manner in which the jurors at the receiit term of Court discharged the duties devolving upon them is perhaps worthy of special mention. In the Court of Sessions uot eve^ao approach tuvraras a mistrial ^a^ raade- W|ierft>t|u5 evidence guilty cime quick srad certain; on the otHeiih^^^whtere it. was of doubtful impo^t^^Bttdanfrreceived the beijefiu>f.ih? ssme^nd ViiasSy aa??iiI-con4des^coiHwrtions;^no flagrant dlsrer+.-ifA 1 i>nf- o*ir?

Jost^Ms* Bey^hat. He recdlec?(*fra seedy-looking^ boy who "bad bttf' recently, enjoyed the same seat with himself^ and concluded at once that , it was he who had decamped witfr- iis property. He -pursued the "amateur congressman,7 and overtaking him on the streets accused him of the theft,- which* the latter stoutly denied. -A warrant was, how-ever, issued at once, but the child o? promise "had given leg bail. We presume he concluded that it was not necessary that he should give any further attendance on the Court. Thk Comedy.?The comedy, "Our rsacneiors," was piaveu ou xuesuay night at Boag's Hall to a large and appreciative audience. The characters on the whole were well conceited and admirably rendered, .aritHhetiBanimous Tanrsts'of applause which ocesio*^y "interrupted the proceedings evinced the satisfaction of the audience. The young ladies were looking their prettiest, saidfo look beautiful is the chief part Which an actress mast' plav in the modern drama, and whether this be right or wrong it will probably remain so as long as men are the oracles of criticism. At the close of the coihedy the audience were favored with a farce entitled, "Box and Cox/' which afforded no little amusement. We hope the "Thespians" will let us j hear from them soon again. J - ^ . r The Inauguration.?The .time for the inauguration of the President-elect is at hand, and in fact there itre several causes for congratulation, prominent among which may be instanced the fact that political gossips will have to find something else to talk about than the probable policy of the new administration, tK&-'personhd of the Cabinet, etc. Such stuff as this has filled the columns of the metropolitan dailies long enough. ;A ?few- days ago we noticed a ?half column of stuff in a great journal headed, "Gov. Hoadly pvni-peciie hid fvmfiriAnpf* in nipvplandl" ? : The average country gentleman 111 these _ parts who has been trying_ jn vain .for the past three weeks toget "a lien opened" doesn't care much whether Hoadly has any confidence in Cleveland or not. Guaxo.?This is the season wheu farmers are purchasing guano and in this connection we may say that too great caution cannot be taken against swindlers. That -iaonstrons frauds have befeu perpetrated in the -sale of tins-commodity there is- ]ittle:rbfijn for doubting. That these "frauds "almost defv detection is another point-upon which' few will disagree. "Fanners.are no^as a. rule,-yereed in the [science of chemistry, and usually purchase upon the faith of representations and then ixncautiously waive these in the written contract.* The one precaution which should be taken is to purchase only from reliable companies and hold them to a warranty of practical results. Above all things beware of the companies who come at you with a warranty of chcmical constituents and who seek to tie you up in a contract that waives everything and binds you to pay "attorney fees," etc. The :,erms ot encfr a contract are suggestive 01 fraud. If our farmers must buy commercial fertilizers let them see to it that they get the value of their money. The country is too poor to pay oat millions of dollars annually in exchange for {he powdered rocks of a desert. An Important Ruling on the Law of Married Women.?The Act of 1870 commonly called the Married Womanrs Act provided, among other things, that a married woman should have the right to purchase and hold duly fcpeuics ui prupui L>, ami K\J WHtract and be contracted with as though she were unmarried. This Act was all-comprehensive in its provisions; it swept away at once all the commonlaw disabilities of married women which pertained to the primary right of property. This was the text of the law until 1SS0, when the Code Commissioners inserted after the words, "be contracted with," the words, "as to her separate property," and Judge "Wallace has held that under the law as it stands a married woman can bind herself by contract only when such contract pertains to her separate estate, and this ruling is borne out by the decisions of courts of New York upon au Act of the Legislature of that State identical in terms with ours. The wisdom of the amendment inserted by the Code Commissioners is perhaps a question upon which lawyers and legislators will differ. The position taken by Judge Wallace was urged, in two cases, by Willie C. Rion, Esp., in a very strong argument. + Frank Leslif/s Popular Moxtiilt. lor March is an nnnsnally interesting number., combining as it docs articles of present interest with those of permanent value.

The eminent traveler and author, David Ker, is represented by two articles, the one "A Meeting1 with Afghan Robbers," and the other, "From Sebastopol to Kief," both thrilling and interesting.

The miscellany is well selected and entertaining. Published by Mrs. Frank Leslie, oC, 55 and 57 Park Place, New York. The Rev. John* W. Kelly.?The News and Courier announces that the Rev. John W. Kelly died at Ornngeburg on Wednesday last. He was one of the most prominent and influential members of the South Carolina Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, and was connected with some of the most prominent families in Charleston. His death was entirely unexpected, and will be a sad surprise to a wide circles of friends. Mr. Kelly was about sixty years of age, and had been csnnected with the ministry of his Church for more than thirty years. He was a well-educated man, and thoroughly equipped for the important clerical duties to which he was frequently called. The first years of his ministry were spent iu the mining camps of California, where he labored with great zeal and efficiency. He filled the office of presiding elder in several of the districts of the South Carolina Conference, and was noted throughout jhe ;?horch for his great powers of organization and his|wouderful command of men.. As a pulpit orator he was one of the strongest and most eloquent ministers of the Metho dist Churchf "Hjs preaching was plain, but as it'waiS filFecTVith" practical religion it was "always effective. He had & fine voice -and a ready flow of language. His sermons were distinguished; by sound logic, and in all of the important station's to which he was assigned iiiis labors were crowned with cmineut success. At the last annnal -meeting of the Conference Mr. Kelly was" assigned to the Providence Circuit in Orangeburg District and was acnVely engaged in the duties of his pastorate *wnen"le was called to his :reward. The news of his departure will be heard with regret throughout the State.. He left a large family upon -whom his death will fall with crushing weight. Mr. Kelly was well known in Fairfield^ .and he .was held in universal esteem. He was without doubt one of the best and strongest men in the Methodist Church in South Carolina. About Going West. . "Messrs. Editors: 1. Is not Horace Greeley's advice to young men, 'Go West,' still good? 2. Are not the naturalTbsburces of the West superior .to those of the South? 3. Are not the >hances of a young man who has his . rtune to make better in the West ihan in the South? Subscriber." r Onr ffrst answer to our friend is that we haven't been there, and our second is that the popular nption that an editor i& a walking encyclopedia does not pertain to the average man of the .comitry press. Hut we think, however, we. can afford somewhat of assistance to our friend iu the solution of his difficulties. We are not among those who would decry the great natural advantages of the West. For agricultural purposes her advantages are equal to those of the South; for graz-; ing superior undoubtedly. But the West has serious drawbacks. It can never become a manufacturing coun tryY It has no mighty streams to turn the tireless wheels of factories, or bear on their bosoms the sails of an internal commerce. The South, on the other hand, has all the undeveloped elements of a great country. Her commercial and manufacturing facilities are rmsurpassed. "We speak with special refer ence to South Carolina when we say that we have a country that is anything that our people will make it. To say nothing of other resources, in the granite beds of Fairfield aione we have dormant wealth enough to make half our paupers millionaires. Again, in point of health, the South is to be preferred. There is something overpowering, too, in the continental breadth of the treeless plains of the West. These wil! never wash away, it is true. They will laugh to scorn the rainfall of ages. But we prefer variety in nature; we prefer the rugged hills, the rocky cliffs, the sloping valleys and the noisesome brooks of the Sunny South. If we do not give a negative answer to each of the questions propounded by our friend, we at least say to him sec the West before you cast your with hers. THE CIRCUIT COURT. The Court made very slow progress cm Tuesday, being occupied with the consideration of one case nearly all day. The jury cases have been about all tried and the jurors will in all probability be pischarged to-day. The following cases have been disposed of since our last report. A. Williford vs. Edward P. Mobley, Sr., and Edward P. Mobley, Jr. Messrs. McDonalds & Douglass for the plaintiff and TV. C. Ition, Esq., for the defendants. Verdict was given for the plaintiff by consent.

The jury found for the plaintiff. R. M. A.uderson vs. B. E. Lyles which was also an action on a guano note. Messrs. Lvles & Buchanan for the plaintiff and J. W. Hanahan, Esq., for the defendant. The jury found for the plaintiff. T. G. Patrick vs. Marian R. Mobley, Edward P. Mobley, Sr., and Moses II. Mobley. This was an action upon a sealed note and as to the defendant, Marian R. Mobley, the plea of coverture was interposed and at the close of the evidence, council for the defense moved for a non-suit, as to the defendant, Marian R. Mobley on the ground that it did not appear that the obligation was contracted with reference to her separate estate. The motion for a non-suit was granted as to Marian R. Mobley. Messrs. McNeel & Henry appeared for. the plaintiff and W. C. Rion, Esq., for the defendants. Tm-dict for plaintiff by consent as to the : iher parties. Elizabeth Harper vs. John S. Swygert. Messrs. McDonalds & Douglass for the plaintiff and Messrs. Ragsdale & Ragsdale for the defendant. The , jury found for plaintiff the recovery of the property described in the complaint or thirty-five dollars, the value thereof in case a delivery cannot be had. On Fridav morning the inrors were discharged and the Court resnmed the consideration of equity causes. The following cases have been disposed of since our last report: Patrick & Co. vs. Jno. D. McCarley, as Sheriff?Messrs. McNeel & Henry for the plaintiffs, and Messrs. Gaillard & Reynolds and Col. Rion for the defendant. The jury found a verdict fc.-^he defendant. A motion for a new trial was made bv connsel for the plaintiffs, on the ground that the verdict was contrary to the law and the evidence. The motion was granted and a new atrial was ordered. /W. R. Doty & Co. vs. Champion Giles. Messrs. Douglass & McCants for the plaintiffs, and Capt. T. H. Clarke for the defendant. The case was brought up by defendant on exceptions taken to the report of the referee. The report was confirnted. Levi Bell vs. Thomas P. Smith, McIver & Co. and John D. McCarley, as Sheriff. Messrs. McDonalds & Douglass for the plaintiff, and Messrs. Douglass & McCants for the defendants, j The question was one of priority be tween liens. The Court decided that the lien of the plaintiff was superior to that of the defendants, but dismissed the complaint on the ground that the plaintiff could not recover the specific property involved. R. T. Mockbee and T. G. Patrick vs. Edward P. Moblev, Jr., Marian R. Mobley and Moses H. Mobley. This case was heard on exceptions to the assignment of homesteads to the defendants. Messrs. McDonalds & Douglass and McNeel & Henry for the plaintiffs, and Col. J. H. Rion for the | defendants. The plaintiffs relied upon the proposition that a tenant in com- JL mon has no right to a homestead in his undivided interest in such estate. This was controverted by the defendants. ^ The Court held that such an estate would support a homestead, and the report of the commissioners was confirmed. Mattie L. Elkin vs. Bolin Gregory. The chief issue in this case was as to priority of liens. Col. J. II. Rion for C the plaintiff, and Messrs. Gaillrrd & Reynolds and Col. George Johnstone for the defendants. By agreement of counsel all the issues of both law and fact were tried by the Court. The decision of the Court was reserved. ^ Court adjourned sine die on Satur- ^ day morning. L L ITEMS FROM WHITE OAK. L L ?There are some excellent spellers ? in our school, and one deserves special l mention. Miss Gcnette Patrick, a little daughter of Mr. R. A. Patrick, has A stood at the heard of a large class in ^ dictionary since the 17th day of last A September. ^ ?Cur distinguished citizen, General A Bratton, has sent several Congressional reports on interesting subjects a to the Literary Society. He has the thanks of the entire Society for his ll valuable gift. By-the-way, we are sorry that the General's term of office ~ expires on the 4th of March. lie is C eminently qualified in every respect for the position he now occupies, and ? we would like to see this brave and ktrue man rise still higher in political life. * L ?White Oak has no professional ^ ionsorial artists, but wc venture the l assertion that two of our citizens can L T cut hair better and neater than the ? majority of professional barbers, and, L moreover, they do their work gratui- ^ tously. We withhold their names for L fear their patronage may increase so as ? to interfere seriously with their regu- l lar business, and they may blame us ? for it and furnish us with an argument- ^ turn ad baculinum, which being inter- L r preted meaneth what the small school- ^ boy calls a "touching up." A ?Monday, the lGth inst., was ob- ^ served as St. Valentine's Day at this place. On that night in spite of the ? bitter cold weather quite a crowd of L young people and a few old ones as- A sembled in the school-house and deposited valentines of every description L in a temporary postoffice. Messrs. l Robert Simonton and S. E. Johnston f acted as postmasters and publicly read ? every letter in the office. Those who L received comic valentines didn't appre- ? ciatc them very highly, but they had L to grin and bear the mirth of the others. ? However, no one got angry like the L North Carolina lawyer, who offered a ? reward of twenty-five dollars for the l arrest and conviction of the guilty ? wretch who sent him a comic valen- ^ tine. L ?At the suggestion of a philan- ^ thropic and progressive citizen the farmers in this neighborhood organ- ^ ized an agricultural club about the middle of last October. For some L reason unknown to us very little inter- L est was manifested in the "organization ^ at first, and many predicted that it wonld die an untimely death; but on last Monday night the members held a rousing and enthusiastic meeting in the Grange Hall and put all fears of its ~ future success 10 nignt. 3ir. o. it. i Johnston was elected president; Mr. J T. G. Patrick, vice-president, and Mr. i J. M. Galloway, secretary and treasurer. The object of the organization is to promote social intercourse and as free interchange of opinions on agricultural subjects. A meeting will be held on the first Thursday night of each month, and a member appointed at the preceding meeting will read an essay on some subject connected with j farming; after which every member present will be called on to express his opinion on that particular subject. No doubt these meetings will be very interesting and of great practical use to the members. Piiilo. f TEACKEES' ASSOCIATION.
