To show with what fairness the Ellenton cases are to be tried we append the i following list of additional jurors who j have been summoned from Abbeville i county to appear in Charleston to sit on j their cases. A more extreme set ofI partisans were never asked to act as jurors than the following well-known radicals" none of whom, as far as we know, except James McCravy, set up the least claim to respectability. W. Y? Davis, Mitchell Gogglns, James McCravy, L. L. Guffin, Ellas Tolbert, | J. A. Spencer, C. B. Reynolds, J. R. McKellar, Nelson Brooks, Iverson Reynolds, Alfred Butler, That our friends abroad may know how the United States Court administers justice iti South Carolina, we give the following information as to these extremely b'itter partisans who aro to pass upon the guilt or innoconce of respectable Democrats. \V. Y. Davis, is an illiterate white man, who it is reported here, was ] ouce indicted for forging an order for a small amount. He was appointed Trial j J ustice by Moses and afterwards rcmov J ed for cause. Mitchell Goggins is a mulatto man, who hxs always been a Radical office seeker, and was a candidate at the last election, for Representative. He went to Columbia and took a seat in the Maekey House, and participated iu the bitter work of that illegal body. James McCravy is a white man of small caliber, but of immense preten >..nc hwn on the lookout for ofllce from the radicals for tho pa-st several 3'ears. lie would not be caught in such company, except for his inordinate desire for oilice of some sort. He Is not a bad man at heart. L. L. Guffin has affiliated with the negroes ever since reconstruction, and probably no man living lias a greater hatred of respectable white men than he has. He was tried for robbing the county j Treasurer's office a few years ago and al-! though ho was acquitted many believed ! him guilty. He was a member of the! Legislature and voted for Moses and I "Whipper for the office of Judge. Elias Tolbert is another sweet-scented ; geranium of the white faced variety. He, j we believe, like his brothers, has been ar-' rayed against the respectable whito peo-! pie of this county since reconstruction. I He has been less successful with the Kads j than his brothers, John and Tom. He was a member of the negro nominating convention wnicn met nereiast iaii. J. A. Spencer, is a mulatto who came from Charleston to this county to get position. He has more of the manners of a gentleman than any of them. He was a delegate to the Radical County Convention. C. B. Reynolds, is a dingy little fellow, the son of Elder Reynolds, of Wis-j cousin, and was one of the half dozen white men who disgraced the negro convention at Abbeville last Fall. J. R. McKellar. May tho good Lord deliver us from testifying as to this most \ bitter specimen of a.white man who affiliates with the negroes. Nelson Brooks is an unprincipled negro, who is Radical and Democrat by turns, as he may think it to his interest. Iverson Reynolds has figured extensively in politics since reconstruction and has managed to make more disturbances probably than any other negro here. It is said that it was principally through his instrumentality that a riot was caused and one of his race killed at White Hall at the election in 1868. He also marched to the same polling precinct last year at the head of fifty or sixty armed negroes and came near raising a serious difficulty. Alfred Butler is the embodiment of hatred t<> the white race and never fails to make himself conspicuous whenever an opportunity presents itself. He lives by his wits. If it is pot prying too much into the business of the United States Court we I should like to know how the names ofl 1 eleven such men were obtained. They I were certainly selected for their well j known ignorance and hatred of the res- j pectable white men of this county. I There can be no doubt as to the verdict! of these eleven men, not one of whom i can be classed except as a bitter partisan ; office seeker. There are not eleven such : men left in this county. An affidavit numerously signed by our ; bost citizens, went forward to-day as to the character and bitter partisan aud race feeling of these jurors, who have been selected by the officer of the United States Court, whose duty it is to select jurors. More Work for Our Lesislators. As some of tbo members of our Legislature are getting so bloodthirsty that| they want to mako nearly all the crimes j punishable with death, as well as thej making tne Killing 01 tne oaianco 01 tne offenders excusable homicide, wo think it nothing but fair to make it excusable or justifiable homicide to kill a Judge or Juryman who shall be late at Court, i The same act might bo so extended as to embrace the shooting of delinquent subscribers of the county papers, if the nuinbor were not so great. We think that the crime of hitching a horse to a shade tree might be made punisliablo with j death, if some e'i*orprising member of! the legislature would take tho matter in j hand. Ho could, at least, introduce a bill > to that effect at the extra session. Such j an important matter should not be nog-1 lected. Somebody else might get credit1 for proposing the law if the matter is de6.1 many days. % fi?i f 11rii ~it- i ri m n?n ?r raa The Chief Justiceship. Tlie Augusta Chronicle ami Const it ittionalixt, of the 11th instant, has some well-timed remarks on the election of a Chief Justice. We fully agree with that level-headed paper on this subject. It seems to it1? like goin*j back on our principles to elect a Radical to this important otlice after we have so persistently advocated "JIainpton and llome Rule." To have Hampton for Governor and Willard fin* Cliii'f .Instii-i! looks like ''Hamilton" with the "Home Rule" left out. The C. it C. says: Tub South Carolina Chikf Justices nil*.?The allowed effort ol' Gov. Hampton to make Judge Willard Chief Justiee of South Carolina is a puzzle not only to the Senator from Edgefield, but has caused some surprise iu Louisiana. The New Orleans Democrat, which did more to rescue the Pelican State than any other agency, referring to and copying in full Gen. Gary's letter, says: "What Gov. Hampton's reasons for urging Willard's election are, wo do not know. But it would seem that, if there is any necessity for a Democratic Governor or Legislature to bestow oflice, honors and emoluments upon Radicals, some other oflice than that of Chief or Associate Justico should be chosen to give them. The purification of our political system depends more upon the men whom we make Judges than upon any others, and only men whose lives during the past ten years have been a bold, constant and vigorous protest against, or rather warfare upon, Radicalism, should be appointed to the uencn. Governor Hampton errs, we think, in pushing Willarus "claim" on two grounds: First, because of the suspicion of a "dicker and bargain" attached thereto ; and, secondly, because he seems to be under the impression that such favoritism would appease Northern sentiment, as illustrated by lien Wade, Wendell Phillips et id omne genus. The truth ol the matter is that the only way to deal with the Northern doctrinaires of the Jacobin school is to intrepidly defy them. This was the "Georgia plan,'* and it has worked like a charm, if Gov. Hampton felt under any obligation, for some leason j other, to simply suggest Willard, let him [ stop with that intimation. But the people of South Carolina cannot too promptly redeem and purge their Judiciary, and we are not entirely hopeless that some stainless native South Carolinian, will be elected to the Chief Justiceship of the State. Immense Loss by the Credit System. The merchants of this town have losl two hundred and twenty-two thousand dollars rflnce the war. This amount would buy all the goods now in town, as well as every building on tho Public Square. This is some evidence of the | impoverished condition of the country, and the reckless manner in which our I planters and other* go in debt on specuj lution. This course if pursued would J bankrupt tho whole country. Tno lien law has been repealed and tho farmer will be made by the force of circumstances, to learn to be more independant, by raising his own produce. The luw may work temporary hardships to some, but there is no doubt that the repeal of this law will be the salvation of the country. No farmer who leaves his field to go to town to buy corn, on a credit, at the rate of from ten to twenty por cont. a month can sustain himself, unless legitimate farming is the most profitable business in the world. We say well done, Legislators, stick to it and the farmers will be obliged to bo more prosperous than heretofore, and the merchant will maka money by selling for cash. The Death Penalty. By reference to an article in another column it will be seen that an effort is being made to increase the number ol crimes to which the death penalty should attach. This is a step backwards and we hope that it will not be taken. We believe the death penalty should be erased entirely from our statutes. The Christianity and civilization of the age is working iu that direction. In some of the despotic countries even, the death penalty is unknown in times of peace. Russia, for fnstance, never puts a man to death. The vilest and most venomous reptile that crawls the earth should be allowed to live, if it was put beyond its power to injure anybody. Would it not be cow? rlnafk ai? airon noin <WU1J IV HIUHl uium ?l CIUI J'BUl such a creature ? Men guilty of murder and other grave offenccs should bo imprisoned for life and the Governor should not be allowed the privilege of pardoning sucli. Already seven cf the States of the Union have done away with capital punishment and w^ hope South Carolina may soon follow suit. This is the direction of the Christian sentiment of the world. + Mr. A. Bequest, contractor, lias done some excellent work on the streets. He deserves the thanks of everybody for his more than faithful performance of his contract. Richmond, Va? April 10, 1877. To the Editor of the Anicricun Jsraclitc: Ou last Sabbath, April 7th, the community was delighted to witness one of those interesting (and *now-a-davs rare treats) viz.. o regular orthodox Bar Mltzvah, at the ancient Portuguese Synagogue, Beth Snalome, a congregation organized In 1783, where the popular and eloquent Kev. Isaac P. Mendes. Is the minister, and the young gentlemen who was admitted In the Congregation of Jacob la Master Melvln Wlnstoek, a very bright and promising boy, the sou ot S. A. Wlnstoek, Esq., one of the most popular and respected Jewish citizens of this city, who is also the President of the Congregation. The minister readSliachrltli and Tbrah.and we never heard the prayers read more beautifully. His voice Is well cultivated and very sweet. The Bar Mltzvah was called up to Maphtire and read the portion very correctly, he also intoned the Haphtorah in a manner which delighted all who were present. After the scrolls were returned to the ark then came an agreeable surprise; Master Winstock came upon tbc Tabah and commenced to rejid Moosaph in a loud, strong and verysweet voice; during the whole of his reading the entire congregation were kept spell-bound. After the Moosaph he offered up a most beautiful and impressive prayer in English, then readOlanu and retired to his accustomed seat. Rev. Mr. Mends then delivered an eloquent and Instructive discourse on the importance of educating ihe Jewish children, taking as his text. "Train up a child in the way he should go, so that when he Is old he mav not depart from it," which was replete wit h sound logic and spoken in his happy style, and was highly appreciated by one o( the largest and most intelligent assembly^ that ever attended divine worship in that synagogue. There were not only members ot that Congregation present, but many belonging to other synagogues, and likewise a largo number of Christians. All went away delighted with what they saw and heard, expressing their admiration for the Reverend geutlemen and his pupil. A reception was held at the residence of Mr, Wlnstoek, where his numerous friends vied with each other In paylug their lespects and offering congratulations. "OLD FASHIONED." The Associate Justice. Amongall the candidates who are seekers for. or mentioned in connection with this position, there is no man who stands higher In his professional character, or who is more universally respected and admired for the many virtues which mark him as a gentleman and patriot of the highest order, than General Samuel McGowan, of Abbeville. No man has led a more gallant and unselfish career than he has In every public trial, whether it be in military or civic life. His rare and brilliant attainments atthe bar eminentW* ..n..llf.r Uim fr.r- t 1. ^ ImlUU! kA.w>r. una there is no man in thiB Slate in whose elevation the people would feel morejust pride. He whs decidedly the popular candidate of this section for the United suites Senate, and nothing but the force of extraordinary and unusual circumstances could at this time have prevented his election as Chief Justice. From the very moment that he withdrew as a candidate for Chief Justice, there should have been no hesitation, no doubt, no halting by the members of the General Assembly In reaching a conclusion to elect him to the Associate position. No man In the State deserves more of the Democratic party, and no man has so many friends among all parties. We do not believe that we exaggerate in saying that General McGowan could carry three votes to where any other man mentioned for tire position would get one before the people of South Carolina. Tie is a large-hearted, noble and Intellectual giant, upon whoin the highest honors of his state or nation woujd sit with grace and honor. We sincerely hope he may be added to the Supreme Court, where he would do himself hiRh honor and our people lasting good.?Anderson Int-.lligenccr. Augusta and Knoxville Rnilrond.

For Secretaries?w. ?J. 1 la mage, 01 1 Knoxville; J. L. Maxwell, of Augusta. On motion, the report was received and 1 adopted. 1 The Chairman introduced to the| convention Mr. R. I. Wilson, the permanent 1 President. Mr. M. J. Verderv moved that Col. Charlton, of Knoxville, bo called upon to give his views. 1 Col. Charlton said he felt veiy highly complimented by the call. Ho would ! only say a few words. Ho had had the opportunity for several months of feeling i the pulse of this beautiful city of Augus . ta. Ho recollected a vear ago that they held a convention in the city of Charleston, whose people they ail loved, ne ' meant to cast no reflections upon Charleston and her people, but it was well known 1 that they did not rneot with success. So1 cially they were treated all right, but lit1 tie was done for the railroad. When they 1 went home they decided to hold the next convention in Augusta, He wrote to Augusta about the matter, and received I an invitation, numerously signed, for the > convention to meet in Augusta. Promi( nont business men of Augusta took the ' work in hand with a vim, and secured the passage of a charter for the Augusta and Knoxville Railroad. Tiie Tennessee delegates came here pledged heart and ' soul to the people of Augusta and the ; section along the river for the completion of the trunk line. South Carolina had her opportunity, and she lost it. He : thought the pathway before them was . nln.iv TTn uaw nntliini? ill the wav of , linking together Knoxville and Auguata. They wore going home in the very l>est 1 possible humor. They were going back to tell their people that Augusta was all right, and would do her duty. Ho would say to the people of Augusta that the people of Marystille and Knoxville intended to show their faith by their works. In less than ninety days, if the people ot' Augusta and North Carolina gave substantial evidenco of what they intended to do, they would have their portion of the road under control. General Bradley ottered the following resolutions, which were adopted: Jt'-xolved, 1*1. That the Railroad heretofore known as the Greenwood and Augusta Railroad shall be Incorporated into and become a branch of the Atffeustu, Knoxville and Greenwood Railroad. Resolved, 2d. That all moneys heretofore 1 paid on the Block of the Greenwood and Augusta Rallroud shall be acknowledged as so much stock paid into the Augusta, Knoxville and Greenwood Railroad Company. Resolved, 'id. That a business committee, to consist of fifteen members, shall be appointed by the President of the Augusta, Knoxville and Greenwood Railroad, whose duty it shall be to canvass the entire line running through tiie .State of South Carolina, from Walton's Island In the Savannah river, to Greenwood, the upper termluus of the old road. Jicxolved, 4th. That a commission, to consist of tlve members, shall be appointed by the President of the Augusta, Knoxville and Greenwood Railroad, with full authority to secure the right of way by deed ana title from parties through whose land said road will run. f Resolved, 5(h. That a committee of three members shall be appointed by the President of said Augusta, Knoxville and Greenwood , Railroad to examine carefully the charter of the Greenwood aud Augusta Railroad and see If there is anything in it that will bo Incompatible with the surrender of said -i 4 - ? ...UK nil c nrwl nrivlloirnc tn I'lllll Id , nun Oil ? ? j.. ? the Augusta, Km,:..iilea.>d Greenwood Railroad. and if so to petition *.he Legislature of South Carollha to remove any such liiipcdl: meats.

Col. Charlton moved the appointment of an Executive Committee ol' five to decide upon the time and place of the next Convention. Adopted. Mr. Calvin moved that the Chairman appoint the committee at liia leisure. Adopted. The President read the following letter: Fkanklin, N. C., May 1877.

Sibley said the gentlemen " who wore expected to address the con. vention to-day were uanavoidably de, tained by a case in the Superior Court, i He could only say that Augusta was in . earnest. This was not idle tulk but it ' meant business. Mr. Wheless said that Augusta would (' do her part in the enterprise. The peoi J pie of Georgia would build the road to i the North Carolina line and if necessary I they would penetrate North Carolina and ; j there expected Tennessee to meet them, j Mayor Carpenter, of Knoxvillo, offered i the following resolution which was j adopted: Itcnolved, That the Chairman of this Con| vention appoint a commlttce^ composed of 1 tllieen, iroin iuc ?uues 01 ucorgia, i>orm i Carolina, Kouth Carolina and Tennessee, I whose duty it shall be to memorialize Coni Kress in the name of their respective States, In favor of establishing a navy yard and?tatlon at Port Iloyal, K.

The Piedmont Factory?A 8plendid Success.?In conversation yesterday with Col. Hammett, President of the Piedmont Factory Company, wo learned besides the I late subscription of 8100,000 from Northern ! capitalists, reported In these columns, that the capitalists of Charleston propose to take from $50,000 to 375.000 more of stock. The two amounts are suQlclent to till the entire building with the most modern machinery, but I there will bo a cash working capital of JH0.000 : held in reverse. This places tho Piedmont i Factory head andsliouldersabove any factory in the country, and we can safely assert that j It Is now the best stock In the State. The stockholders now desire that all the stock yet to bo taken, should go Into the hands of the present stockholders, as they feel they are entitled to the benefit of tho prosperity vouchsafed for the Piedmont. Col. Hammett has demonstrated immense ability In Its erection and management, and his services have boen recognized by the stockolders in his re-election as President. We wish thePlcdmont Company continued success.?Greenville Xeift. * The Criminul Law. In the ITouso Wednesday a bill to amend the erimnal law, being the unfin- t ished business of yesterday, was taken \ up. The pending motion was to strike [ out the enacting clause. S Mr. Hamilton moved that the House go c into secret session. Kcjected. 1 Mr. J. J. Hemphill?There was a time -i in tlie history of South Carolina when j t people were punished for crimes, when ; 1 this chicken-hearted humanity that now ? seems to prevail did not prevent their ( punishment. It is right that a man who < ravishes a woman or burns up the hard ( earnings of a lite-time should be punish- | ed severely. Can we say now that arson < and rape are so severely punished as to i deter men l'rom committing them ? What is the punishment for such crimes ? Why the felon is sent to the penitentiary and stripes are put upon his clothes instead of ! his back ; he stays there a few years and 1 then is turned out unon the community 1 to commit the same crime again. It is very sickly humanity that looks only to 1 the care of the criminals, and leaves the 1 innocent unprotected. Mr. Blue?The only question members ] should ask themselves is whether it is necessary at this time to make the law 1 more strmgent than it has lately been. I 1 would be the last man to increase the 1 number of offences to bo punished by death if it were not absolutely necessary. Convicts urc now treated so well in the penitentiary that many of them when tiiey conic out express a desire to do some act so that the courts may send them back again. I am in favor of punishing burglary, arson and rape with death; and as to the theft of livo stock, I think the punishment for that is ertirely too light. Why, pigs are getting to be natural curiosities in South Carolina, and if something is not done soon they will entirely disappear, and circuses will make more money exhibiting them than any other 1 animals. Mr. Gray?I have searched the criminal codes of the different States, and of the world, and especially that of England and I have found no such provisions in any of them as are contained in this bill. I would bo in favor of putting a man in the penitentiary for life for arson or rape, for I think the* present punishment for thowo crimes is too light. But I am not in favor of punishing them with deatli. We know that the most of these eriines are eommitted by colored men. We know that they are at heart a kind race and apt to follow the examples of those above them. The reason why these ! crimes are now so frequent is that the law is corrupt at its source, because it is not enforced, and because the chief executive of the State and his agents have bp en encourainng the colored people to burn and rob ana ruin for political ends. Js it true that the people of youth Carolina cannot civilize the colored people without passing this bill ? The passage of any measure that will be considered as directed against a particular race would be most impolitic. Mr. Youmans?Within the last ninety daysmen have barely escaped with their lives out ol buildings set on tire by incendiaries, and, while before the war wo j raised our own bacon and had plenty of 1 milk and butter, now wo have todo with- ! out them or send oif to other parts of the world to pet them. Mr. Hamilton?I know that the major- 1 itv of crimes committed in this State are committed by colored men. But they were encouraged not only by the chief i executive of tho State, but by the Presi- i dent of the United States, to commit them or to do anything in order to accomplish i their political purposes. But those men are now out ot office, and there is no ne- : cessity for this bill. It is just such a law j as the radical Republicans want you to i pass, because it would look like you wore jeopardizing the rights of the laboring classes. Mr. Aldricb?All the ltill docs now un-, der the amendments recommended by, the committee is to make burglary, arson j and rape capital felonies. And I think; that men who commit those crimes arc j, unfit to live. The vote on the striking out tho enact- j ing clause was 45 ayes, -18 noes. Mr. Sheppard moved to continue tho! bill till next session. Adopted by 5-1 yeas I tr? SO nuv? *v J The Blue Danube. As the Eastern war is by far the most absorbing question of the world at the present time'it is important to gain an I idea where the theatre of the conlliet is most likely to open. It is evident that! the European nations regard the Danube as the place where tho opposing forces of Russia and Turkey will contend the most stubbornly. It is to thoso nations what the Mississippi Kiver is to the States lying on either side. It is tho great highway for tho exportation of commissaries and troops, anil thus far the Russians have made a very wise step in completely blockading that river at the mouth of the l'ruth. To know exactly where the Pruth empties iuto tho Danube, it is necessary to take a map and study it, so as to bocome familiar with tho country and the names of all its stragetic points. It is to be regretted that tho blue and beautiful waters of the Danube aro to be crimsoned with human blood, but great pow ci.i Aiavu ? iiiui-i it, uiiu aw jt uu, An exchange gives the following interesting description of the historic river, which is destined soon to witness the horrors of a cruel conflict and a stubborn war. It nays: Tho river Danube has figured largely in history for two hundred years, and it again'becomes tho object to which the eyes of the world are now turned. It furnished a highway for tho Turks in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries to penetrate Europe as far as Viena, and in the days of the crusades it becanio an outlet for the religious enthusiasm of Europe to iiow to the Holy Land. The Danube, l'rom its sources in Baden to the Black Sea, is 1,820 miles long, and it drains with its tributaries an area of over 300 square miles. It passes through Bavaria, Austria, Hungary and Servia to the Capathean mountains, where it separates Iiouinania and Bulgaria, and passes into the Black Sea through several mouths, tho principal one being that of Sullna. The Danube is navigable for steamers as far as UJm, in Bavaria. At Nicopolis, in the fourteenth century, 100,000 Christians were drjven by the Turks into the Danube, and in the fifteenth century 40,000 Turks were slain on its shores at the seige of Belgrade. From (he Lancaster Ledger. Tlie No Fencc Law?IIow it Operates in This County. The no fence seems to be attracting con- 1 sidorablo attention in some portions of the State, and in the Legislature. The experience in the northern section ol' this and adjoining counties is favorable to the enterprise. In February of last year the bull was put in motion, and a number of land owners signed a written agreement to test the merits of no fence by actual experience. The line which we now have was constructed by a committee appointed for the purpose?this lino extends from | Doby's Bridge on Sugar creek westward to tlie North Carolina line. To pay the expenses of constructing tho fence on this line an assessment was made upon ; all the real estate owners in the boundary, according to amount owned and benefit received. Bofore this plan was adopted ' persons who had poor fences, were annoyed continually with stock roaming at large over the country, and not unl'requently wero stock mutilated lor their depredations upon the growing crops. Whether a man nas a lawful fence or not, he will not stand bv and see cattle destroy his hard labor?and whether shooting or dogging stock .was lawful or not, 110 per- ] son could reasonably blame him. , There was some objections to testing the 110 fence plan when first inaugurated, , but after giving it a short trial every per- ! son within tho bounds was highly pleased with it. We now have no trouble with f our neighbors; no shooting of cows and ' no hard feelings as before. The present 1 system saves us of a great amount of la- i bor 011 fences, and which, we can profitably devoto to the making of manure, etc. Those who once try the no fence plan will never go back to old fogy ideas. W. Pleasant Valley, May 3,1877. Planting is progressing. There is considerably less area planted in cotton than in previous years, and a great falling oil' in the use of commercial fertilizers. The truth is, Pickens is not a cotton growing region, and the sooner our infatuated farmers realize this fact the better. Pickens should never attempt its culture, except for her own consumption. It would take no elaborate argument to prove that our farmers can realize more clear profit from " raising corn, wheat, <fce., and stock of all kinds; yet they blindly continue to attempt ti>o cultivation of cotton from year to year, when thoy see themselves getting j nooror from thn Tirnrtipp?Virbfin.v ? \ Comparative Cotton Statement.

The Fence Law.?It is well that this subject is being agitated and brough prominently before the people. It is j matter of great interest to the farmers Proper lagi.sla.tion will doubtless prove i ijrciit blessing for the country. 01 cours< there are some who will oppose or try t< oppose such a law, but it is a hard matte to please everybody. Some people an born with a talent specially adopted t croaking and opposing everything tha tends toward improvement. It looks lik n carricature on common sense to sec tin poor Southern farmers building and re pairing long fences around poor .'and t Keep out their poorer herds of cuttle tha forcibly remind ono of a famine. It i almost a uscless^astc of time, labor am money. As for the poor stock whosi only luxury in this country seems to 1) broom-straw, wind and water, it woul< be a mercy to kill the greater portion o them.
