U The Eu JQuz Trials. . ji Tho Importance of the questions involved in the decision, and tbe ability of the counsel employed, have given more than ordinary interest to the trials of the j^u Klux prisoners, whioli are no? pro- i greasing before Judges Bond and Bryan | ( of the United States Circuit Court, which1 ] Ja holding its sessions in Columbia. < The Government is ropresontcd by j i Messrs. Corbin and Chamberlain and the j urisonersby Messrs. Johnson of Mary land and Stanberry 0/ Ohio, ana counsel 1 frcun o,ar owu State., The various pre- < liminary questions presented have been ] argued with great ability on both sides, 1 and the masterly force and eloquence s with which especially Messrs. Johnson ( and Stanberry have sustained the Con- { atitutloual rights of the citizens, well jus- c tify the wisdom of their seletion. 1 On the ealliug of the first case, that of 1 the United States, against Allen Crosby, j and others, instated under the Aota of 1 May 30,1870, and April 21 1871, Mr, Stan- t berry moved to quash the indictment, for 1 various imperfections and informalities'jc which he minutely set forth and elabor-f ately argued. \ To the first of the oleven counts of the c indictment, Mr. Stanberry urged the c foliating abjections: 1 i U'rvho annsniracv charged is to violate J 4' * "v v"*i" i 1-? w the ftr&t section of tlm Act of May 31, t 1870, which section defines no crimc or t offence, and forbids nothing. 2. The names of persons hindered, or ? prevented, or not allowed to vote, nre I< not set forth; nor is it alleged that their )l&mes were unknown to the grand jury. T 3. Yhe means by whioh tl\o unlawful prevention was effected are not set forth, e 4. The specific election at which they tl were not allowed to vote, whether for 5 State, County or municipal or United r States officers or members of Congrcus. 5. The date of the election, as stated : third Wednesday of October, 1S72. ^ 6. That the qualifications of snid male citizens to vote are not set forth." To the third count he objected, "That the burglary and battery charged in this 11 oaunt&Pe Wot alleged as an overt act of p the conspiracy, but as a distinct 'offence ft against the State of South Carolina, as ^ is cognizable by or within the jurisdic- * tion of this court, but is exclusively cognizabJe by the State courts having juris- F Uictiou of such offenc^a in the said Conn- tl ?y of York." As to the eleventh count: * -1? v 1. That it Is uncertain, uecnusr u unw appear that the conspiracy and injury o were beforo or after the election. " t. 2. That the particular election, or j-( when or where it occurred, is not set forth, and no day is given, except the ' <l#te Qf the conspiracy?that is to say, the j I s Mist of April, 1871, the next day after the1 a Act was passed. I / 2, That it ia not alleged that said, . Jtainey was qualified to vote at that elec- j ^ tion, or that lie was acitizen of the State, i e or resident of Congressional District1! when the election was held. e 4. That it is not alleged that said Wallace was a citif-en of the United States, or oiti^cn of the Stale or District in c which the said clectiad was held; nor 11 that he was a candidate for elcetion, or: that said Rainey voted or intended to ^ vote for hira. a To the other counts various objections 11 were urged which were sustained. As|a to tUp first count, the Court overruled j f the objeetions, holding that the offence 1 ^ was sufficiently stated in the words of 1 the st^tyte, d,u(\ that it was not necessary j * that each section should contain the penalty for its infraction, The eleventh j s pount was also sustained on the ground ;s 1 hut it sufficiently charged a conspiracy 1 to violate t^ie right of voting for a mem-j1 l>er of Congress?a right which Congress < has the power to protect apart from the;f recent amendments, The Court was di- jf vided in opinion as to tjie validity of the [ third count, and it was withdrawn. v>' * Mr. Stanberry so thoroughly and ably ^ argued all the techncial questions iuvolv- 1 ed in his objections, that Mr. Johnson { devo{p4 himself exclusively to the Con-ji ^tltutioiial questions growing out of tliejJ ftttpmpt of Congress tq take away tlie j * Jast vestige of State rights, in regulating j1 the right? of suffrage, pud transferring;' to the United States a jurisdiction overi! primes which were clearly within the exr ' plusive province of the State Courts. If there was one thing, said Mr. John- ( spn, which the frq-iner^ of tjje Federal Constitution did not do. it was to attenipt to place In the harnjs of the Qeueral Gov- prnment the power to regulate or control j the elective franchise. Even in Federal I plectjons the time, place and manner of,< folding theso elections were alone pre-! j scribed, vybilst the qualifications of the!' voter were left to the States. The three Amendments havp wade.no change in i * the nowers of Congress in this particular* j1 TiioT Thirteenth Amendment merely!1 emaqplpatcd the blocks?the Fourteeth j conferred the rights of citizenship mere-,1 ]y?and the Fifteenth itself ponfers no 1 right to vote, hut provides merely thftt the existing right shall not be abridged I?y the United States qr a Statp "oil account of race, color or previous condition pf servitude," It confers no power j ( oq Congrts^s to interfere in State elec- j tions in any ijoanner whatsoever, and no ( ixjwef to regulate ( he suffrage in any par- ( ticular. If Congress cau pass any such ^ law as this, it can ipgulate suffrago in t uny respect?prescribe ti:e age and other qualiticatioos of the voters, ?nd oven ex-: z tend to women the right of suiT'age. j Again he urged the unconstitutionality i j of the Aetof Congress which (Ulempted to I ponferupon the United States Court, jujj#}ictlon to punish burglary, murder Ac, offences which were exclusively punishable by the State Courts. , 'Thecounsel say that the ascertain-' meiit of the felouy is not for trial but to ' ^ pprye as the measure of punishment. I1' Tl.iey Hay that the United States has no s jurisdiction over offences against tlie s jaws of a State hut will punish for it. n "NVhat did they think when they framed the indictment, and concluded against P the peace and dignity of the State ot ic South Carolina? < They argue, may it!C] please your Honors, that If me prisoners t lire convicted it will not divert the Statej| of the right to prosccute. But, supple the additional lelony be murder, as it is I in a number of ca3es, and theprisoneris, by i-entenee of this court, hung, can the Courts of South Carolina try and Jiang 1 JIJ1?JTM iim too? Men hare not the lives of eats.! L'here it 110. definition, your Honors of he offences to be committed In 00nnee ion wit'i conspiracy, except me general orm felony. There arc, in some of the ndictmcnis, a ch^rpe of murder. ff the. >ris<>ners are tried in this court for"raurler, and escape,- could they not evade he State courts, under protection of that undamental principle of criminal law, hat a man shall not be put in jeopardy ?f his life more than once for the sqme iflence.". The next question raised waa, as to he right of peremptory challenge in the :aso of misdemeanors, and after much liscusfion the right to challege ten permptorily was yielded. The prisoners, Childers, Porter, Montgomery and Murphy, pleaded guilty. Mr. Stanberry claimed for the prison:rs that in putting in the plea of guilty, hey surrendered no right of exemption rom punishment, from the fact that tho )'ll'iice confessed was committed prior to lie passage of the Act of Congressot the JOtn April, 1ST], uuder which they wero adicteu. THE LATE MRS."DR. BRANCH. Jn our last issue we inadvertantly lcglected to chronicle the decease of an estimable lady of our fown, Mrs. branch, tlie wife of our respectcd fellow :itizen, Dr. Isaac Branch, wh.Q died at l'er residence here on "Wednesday, the Jflth ult., aftera long and painful illness. Doctor and ^ra. Branch were both cared in New England, but for more ban fifty years, they had mado their liome in our community, and identified tvitli us in interest and feeling, had ihared our varied fortunes. Here are he gravea of a numerous household md nil the sympathies and associations )f long and useful lives. The deceased iVas a lady of more than ordinary intel-. igenoe and discretion, and of devoted )icty. For nearly fifty years she had jeen.a member of theChurcli, had illus:rated and adorned her profession,. and \ad secured the respect and esteem of lur community. Our sympathies arc with the bereaved, vlu has been called to mourn, in the ourse of a few months, first the lovely laughter and now uie uioiizeu wiie, Jut the?o Divine judgments are tempered with mercy, and afflictions like Itese bring their own consolations* To he righteous death brings the promise f a blissful and eternal re-union with >vcd ones above. TUc funeral services were held in. the 'resbyterian Church here in the presnce of a large audience, by the Pastor, tic Rev, J. L. Martin ; after which the ody was conveyed to the Upper Long 'ane cemetery. ?? ?<o? HE LATE BISHOP THOS. F. DAVIS. In our last we announced the death of lis distinguished prelate which took lace in Camden on the 2d inst. The ineral services were conducted on the londay following, at Grace Church, by j ic Assistant uisnop nowe, anu ine lev. John Johnson, theformer pastor of lie Church. The Bishop at the time of his death ,*as sixty-seven years of age?a native f Wilmington, N. C.?a graduate of be University of North Carolina, and jr&ome years a practising lawyer of hit State. In 1846 lie was called to the leCWrship of Grace Cliuroh, Camden, rid in lSo.">, was elected Bishop of South Carolina, as the successor, of Bishop Jad.iden. For ten years he had been entirely blind, but though feeble in icalth preserved his mental faculties in iill vigor to the last. The Bishop was a man of no ordinary ndowmcnts?an able thcologion, a clear hiriker, a devout Christian, an indefati<1ble minister of the Sacred Word. His dministration of the Diocese was emi? icntly conciliatory and harmonizing, nd was most acceptable to all. In the terson of Bishop Howe he leaves a ?uccssor Worthy to boar his honored manlej and to meet the responsibilities of lis high position. Fkanck.?'The Assembly is now in session at Versailles, ami is considering he question of its removal to Paris. A j?ill has been introduced for the purpose >f annulling the decree of confiscation >f the Orleans princes, and the justice of tbrogatlng tho law of banishment, is t!so under consideration. Thiers, it is (jtfd, will resign in favor of the Duke ^Lumale; and that two thirds of the \ssembly will support his claims. Thifs lowever is not decisive, astl.o Assembly s thought by no moans to represent the public sentiment of France. A plebiscite may be necessary, and the people may restore the Bonapartes. There is certainly a strong party in their favor, iiul iu the army espeqally their power is increasing. SoDfereice of the Officers of tne Fvesbyterian Chnrcli in Abbeville County.
