p Press and Banner. fednesday, May 30,1877. [ Adjournment of Court. 1st Wednesday evening the business le Court having been completed the licts were brought into the Court p to receive their several sentences, le tirst prisoners tliat were disposed [ere the Winbushcs who had been |d guilty of assault and battery in ling an officer. This case had exciconsiderable interest and the able sel on both sides acquitted them38 up to their usual high standard in conduct of their legal cases. The s was represented by Solicitor Cothmd the defence by ".Messrs. Burt A' r.lrm nml 10 Vnhlo .1 r Mis ffnil IIluigu J. I'. Hoo<l was respectfully rested by defendants' counsel to charge Bury as follows: [rst?That lleiuy M. Young was not pal Justice, and had no authority to le a warrant because lie did not "subbe and tile with the Clerk of the Court >re entering upon the duties of hisj e, the oath required to be taken on s 194, section 6, of the Revised Stats, which is a pro-requisite to his ex sing the duties of such office. ?cond?That, assuming Young to be a 1 Trial Justice, the acting Constable not a legal officer, because he was her a regularly elected bonded Con ile, nor specially appointed 111 writing hat case, as required by section '2, 205, of the Revised Statutes. iird?That, assuming Young to be a I Trial J ustice, and Bell to be a legal itable, there was 110 certain definite matiou on which to issue a search ant. -urth?'That the warrant is a general ;h warrant, and is therefore prohibi>y the Bill of Rights. Search warcan only issuo upon information on that certain specific property has stolen, and that it is concealed in a ^^^vucular place nauied in the affidavit; nffBl the affidavit must set forth reason for SBmH suspicion that the property is in that HBWh'-''. CujS^vif'Ui?That in order to constitute a HffiHt three or more persons must have HH^ftembled to commit an unlawful act, I^^Bd must have actually committed some I^^Hlawful act. ra^Vfhis His Honor refused to do except wH to No. 5. The defendant's counsel exSj^Hpted to the Judge's charge on the ^^H-ound that His Honor said in his fflHarge; H^B'The validity of the commission and W?Hc legality of the proceedings are only ks^HIlaterally involved, and in the interests the public justice and the public ^^Hace I shall overrule them all. HM" Whether the process was void or not, jwfle defendants did not know it and thcreBBe could not avail themselves of it." gj^HWe omit any synopsis of his charge. jury after an absence of a few minIes, returned a verdict against Jesse, i'rus and Callie Winbush, which conuded the business of this Term. The (fence gave notice of appeal. ^^ Thc Judge in his remarks to the prisojKHcrs said : Jestsey and Cyrus Winbush, j^fou have been found guilty of assault jSMul battery in resisting an "officer, and BS^wdlie, you have been found guilty of asIt and battery. You no doubt think n^Hou have been hardly dealt with, and I fgHu equally certain tliat others think that |HHou have been lightly* dealt with. There fl^Has probably been error on both sides. S^^'hile you have been guilty of a breach In the peace, there has been lrregulan[es in the legal proceedings against you. fhese irregularities which have been so loarly shown by your council will teach tfioers to be more careful as to the propration of their papers, while the punishment which I shall iuttie.t, I hope, will leach you a wholesome lesson as to tho najesty of the law. You have already >cen in jail a month. This of itself is a ievcre punishment on an honest man. i'ou were also indicted for riot, but the ury have very properly acquitted you in that charge. I can't send you to the eniteutiarv, and wouldn't if I could. 1 .on ^,11cmwl WM, try ; 1 T I lain not pay a hue. [Mr. Burt here said? [they have some property?a small tract pf land.] Then I shad put the sentence in the alternative. You must take j [warning. We are going to hav?* good government in South Carolina, and shall punish lawlessness with rigor, but 1 excuse you in this case very much on account of the excitement, and uncertainty as to who-was really the Uovefnor at that time. The sentence of the Court is, that Jesse and Cyrus Winbush each pay $100, into the County Treasury, or go to jail for three months. Caroline, the sentence of the Court is, that you pay a tine of ?J(> or go to jail lor one month." The money in Caroline's case was paid immediately Rnd she was set at liberty. Pending the appeal, the Court ordered that Jessy and Cyrus be allowed to give bond in the sum of $'S00, for their appearance at the October Court. Isaiah McCoppin next came forward to receive his share of justice. Isaiah for auuiu uu&ut; a uiuuiri lauwin j h target for pistol practice, and it was shown to the satisfaction of the Court and Jury that he was a pretty good marksman. Isaiah and his target were oat plowing in the tields, w'hen he concluded to unlitnbcr his battery and lire upon the enemy. The ball went through the body of the man and brother, but oy isoine mysterious dispensation of Providence the shot did not prove fatal. Isaiah looks like he had a good opinion of himself and has his long kinkly hair twisted and tied up in cotton strings, lie is as black as the hinges of Hades, but suc-j ceedod in finding a white woman low j enough to tnarry him. She hung aboutj the Court room with the negroes to learn the fate of her leige Lord. Mr. Thomson I uskod tho "Court to be as light with him as was consistent with justice. Tho prisoner is a poor man and will lose his crop if sent to jail." His Honor in his remarks to the prisoner, lectured him soundly upon tho practice of carrying! pistols, and regretted that he could* not send him to the penitentiary, as it was dear that he had intended to kill his vietim. TliP Hf?ntnnpt? thft r'ant-f \vic tli-it! ho bo sent,to tho county jail for twelve j months, with the privilege of paying $100 j at the end of six months, and then of! being released from further imprisonment. He will likely be a guest of the county until the moon shall have waxed and waned thirteen times. Harry Hampton, the ban joist was found guilty of betting ten dollars with another gentlemen of African descent. It appears th:it Ilarry slipped the other fellow's pistol, then grabbed the "stakes" and run, regardless of any entreaty to stop. The J udge delivered to this prisoner an original lecture on the subject of honesty and the necessity of earn-1 ing his bread by the sweat of his! brow. [Here Harry, spoke up, ami I said that he was scrolfulous and could not work.] The Judge then admonished hi in to commence getting ready at once to meet the. Judge of a higher (,'ourt than this and whose punishment were much j greater and much more certain than any he could inflict. The sentence of the Court was two years for Harry in the penitentiary at hard labor. He will in oil nrnKuliilitxf tol*a t? /iftntroof fnf grading a portion of tlio Greenwood and Augusta Railroad. Barney Fcnteroy had pleaded guilty of stealing bacon. Ho urged in extenuation of his offence that he had been "subscribed," and^couldn't get work ; he was hungry and was obliged to have something to eat; Mr. Bennett Reynold's meat bouse being convenient he sampled his neigbor's provisions in store. The Court being touched by this appeal, ordered Col. Parmele to furnish him rations and lodgings for the next twelve months, and to give him a job of work every day for the same length of time. The case of Sam Clardy, a tall, black negro, wearing a white hankerchief around his neck and on his shoulders, and immense ruflled white shirt front, charged with vagrancy, was called. His Honor east a glance at the bench upon vkieh the prisoners sat, and not being able to mxke out the vagrant, asked him to SWU1U up. 1X45 Willi U 10 HIS IUUU 1 IIU Jnrlm? lnnui?v<r At him thmifrht. tliprA wn? ' some mistake, said, "Mr. Sherilf, that is not the vagrant?" Upon being assured that it was, he expressed some surprise ' at so finely dressed a man being here for that offence. The Solicitor read the papers prepared by Trial Justice Gravdon, of Cokcsbury, in whose Court a Jury had pronounced the prisoner a vagrant, a man without visible means of support. As the prisoner had no work to do just now, the Court ordennl the Sheriff to give him lodging and rations until the fourth of July, and requested the Town Council to authorize the Marshal of the town togire him a free job, working on the streets during the day, for the samo length of time.

Serenade to Judge Reed. j The Abbeville Silver Cornet Band i serenaded Judge Reed at the Central IIoJ tel Wednesday night. After playing sevj 1 eral pieces of excellent music the Judge | was loudly called for. lie promptly responded in a short and beautiful speech in | which he referred to "days of aula svne," : when he was solicitor of this Circuit. lie j never missed attending a Court at Abbeville from ltsill to ISoS?eighteen years. In that time and during his visits he had formed a high opinion of the place and a j strong attachment for tile peoplo of Abbeville county, who have always been 'distinguished for their intelligence, ' * I.S?K etuuauon. cuuui-i>, vhmowvi ;:tnd manly virtues. They were once the ! richest people in the State and he was lead j to believe lroin the looks of this beautiful town that the sons of those who had ?passed oil' tho stage of action possessed ' much of their fathers' public spirit ami | enterprise. After paying a deserved tribute to tlit! Judges of the old regime lie [said that he should take tlietn for his I guide and would, to the extent of his i humble ability, seek to emulate their virj tues. He appreciated this mark of atten [tionand kindness which was given, he | supposed, more on account of the performance of his duties in former years, than for anyhing he had done at this session of the' Court. After again assuring them of his thanks he withdrew. Thanksgiving Day iu Abbeville. Although the business houses of the i town were closed, there were religious ! scrvice in the morning only in tho EnisI copal church, where there was hut a slim attendance of devout hearers. The Methodist church was opened at night. When religious services were conducted by the pastor and Rev. R. X. Pratt, of the Baptist church. Mr. Pratt being invited to do so, delivered the sermon on this occasion. Mr. Pratt, the pastor of the Baptist church, was absent until it was too lute j for him to give notice of services in his church and hcnc<* the doors of that sanctuary were not opened. Rev. Mr. Martin, had made arrangements to goon a I journey, in the afternoon of that day, and so he "prayed to bo excused. His church was not opened. We have not learned of any reason assigned for the not opening of the Methodist church in the morning. We were sorry to see so | little attention paid to the observance of the day by the religious part of tho comI niunity, Wc think wo might at the re! quest of the Chief Executive of the State unite in returning thanks to the Lord for ,4his goodness and loving kindness to us, I ?11 rant* " Whrm tho n?Pn Cif thfi j.UlU iw ,111 ...v.. ? world closed their doors, and ceased their daily pursuits it seems to us that the ministers of the gosj>el might have opened their churches. .<? Tnrc R.ids about here, we arc told, are making big calculations as to the feats they will accomplish at the election next year. We trust that the white disturbers of th < peace may not provoke violence. As long as a white man is allowed to stir up strife there will be contention And dissatisfaction. Whenever they''retiro their pretentions," we will have peace. Will they do so peaceably or do thfty intend to force violence? Violence is sure to follow whenever they malign the whites and attempt to alienate the no gro >s from us. \v nenever a neau 01 uus sort shows itself it will be only service to one's country to cut it off." Since the death of Jo Crews in Laurens there.has been no trouble in that county, and there would be none here either, if it were not for a few fomenters of strife, and if they do not desist hereafter they will be dealt severely with.

Fi'xxv.?For a newspaper to call it "tripping tho fantastic toe," when the dance is made up of "gents" wearing No. 10 brogans, and whose heels come down 011 the lloor, like so many "Fifty-sixes." We will give a year's subscription to the l*rcxx and Banner to see the first account of n dance in which the original remark about "the fantastic, tfce., does not appear. It may lie excentric in us, but wo have a desire to see just one such account. The teachers and children of the A. M. E. church had a picnic in the slwde on the Blue Hill branch last Friday. They marched through the public square, at the tap of tlic drum. They were nicely dressed and marched in pood order. As they returned all had green leaves in their hats and bonnets and the colored band tooted a tune which sounded to us something like "Dixie." Stand From Under.?It is understood that Legislative committees are going to work energetically on the examination into the debt of the State, the fraudulent Land Commission and other disreputable affairs, and will "go for" the parties implicated to the fullest extent of the law.?Phoenix. Two little sons of Mr. G. C. Tennent at Willington, were at the wood pile a few days ago cutting wood.

Tu k Laurensville Herald goes for the Newberry Herald because the former : says the stores of Laurens "look dilapidated," and "the place can never pros- : per" without a railroad. The Laurens ; editor claims to have "lots" of stores?all i well tilled. We should judge from the advertisements in the LuurcnsviLlc Her- i aid, that a majority of them wele well tilled and will remain so, for all time, as i nobody will ever tind out that they are i in town. If the Laurens editor would have the public believe his town is a prosperous one he should refer to more ! local advertisements. i The locul of tho Keowee Courier wont ' to a pic nic last week. He saw a snake with feet and legs on this occasion. He ( however, very wisely was en route for . home soon after the snakes put in u?i hp- ' pcarance. Ho had lmd enough. Wo , hope he got home without help. Strange , how a pie nic will allect some people, and : then the editor had such a modest way of telling it. The Christian Neighbor edited by tho Rev. Sidi Browne, so well known in the community, takes as the motto of his paper?"Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself" This injuuetion we'have in one particular instance, faithfully observed for a long time, but we think the Reverend brother's paper has very little upon her. The Kcrxhnw Gazette is a good paper, but it would be a better one if the inside were printed in minion or nonpariel. Long primer and small pica should be entirely discarded from the newspaper. In our opinion brevier is the largest size that should be used in a country paper. Subscribers do not read by the square inch. Now let j*oung men and maidens gather ' under umbrageous oaks, on level grounds, and engage in that most fascinating of all games, Croquet.

Some one drove a bu^gy to Laurens ! last week. It was such a curiosity that some of the boys stole the nuts olf the axles, to keep as trophies. The Herald thinks the boys should have behaved better.

Rather a doubtful compliment, in our opinion. The Spartanburg Herald savs that the bar-keepers have been ordered to close their shops by nine o'clock at night. This is bad on the Good Templars.

The disease seems to effect the cows as t{ cholera does hogs. They lirst appear p dull and sleepy; their cars drop; they j> refuse to eat; live some ten or fourteen ? days. n Mr. Neeves who gives us this information, says he cut open two that died of this disease, and found that the fat and intestines are splotched and bloodshot, and have the same appearance of hogs that die of what is called hog _ Tf ?nv r\f mir rtiin fur- ^ nish any useful information of this disease, and of the remedy, ho will confer a favor by sending it to us for publication. Greenville News. A writer in the New York Times says the failure of most men to make money j* by farfning is because of their land fl owners instead of tenants. There may tl be far more truth in this idea than we are ti nt lirst willing to admit. A farmer sets c? out by buying a farm, and cultivating J* frequently not one-tilth bis purclniseu ? area, thus requiring one-lifth to pay the n interest incurred and taxes imposed upon I? the other four-tilths, and these two items 11 will annually amount to enough to pre- j,1 vent any net gain. Whereas if the far- n mer only rented just the area ho cultivated, it would be but a little greater out- s< lay than the taxes and interest on that same area, and that other drain of taxes iind interest on the remaining acres of y the farm would bo no concern of his. if Whatever not earnings were then realized <' L'ould be applied to the purchase of irn- ? proved machinery, better stock, and fer- (J tilizers for each successive crop. Is there it not common sense in this'argumeni ? r< Are not a majority of our farmers' land " poor? Not long since we heard a large Arkansas planter say lie paid ?*,000 taxes I p ,uid it was about ail tic got as the earnings I el of his crop. jrl 1 V A new cotton plant has been discover- r< ed in some far-oil" country?Egypt, or 11 somewhere among Afric's sable sons? which will eclipse anything of the kind ever grown 111 the world. This novelty qi grows to an unusual height l'or the cot- ti Ion plant, and has neither limbs nor leaves, but projects its bokls directly from the wood or stalk, like the fig, and bears an unusual number of bolls to each tr plant. Well, this is not quite the thing, II tor, as long as there is a boll, the cotton " will have to bo "picked." If some one would only discover a cotton that grew si right on tlio stock without the bolls, we re would thon only ask for a further improvement of a plant that grew the lint ^ without the seeel, after the lashion of the ^ moss on our Southern seacosts. We do ti not know what revolutionary effect our si Egyptian discovery may make in the cotton-planting world, but wo confess to lit- " tie faith in such wonders. oi Sale ok the Pendleton Factory.? cc On Wednesday the 23rd inst., the val- ~ uable property known as the Pendleton Factory was sold at public outcry in An- _ derson. The property was divided into three tracts. The one upon which the la factory buildings stand was bid oil' by t< I ;<>! .1 X.Jirim n for the landholders at I* ten thousand dollars; the Keasler Mill ? Tract tvas bid oil" at ?1,600 by"('apt. John p< McUrath, and the bottom land tract of a, thirty-one acres was purchased by the bondholders at ?H00. Several pieces of machinery were sold at much less than their cost. The aggregate amount of the m sale is about one-eighth of the cost of the p< property. We hope the purchasers will at once have the factory put into opera- jjjj tion in such manner as to the benelit themselves and afford employment to a o.i number of operatives. ?
