Nothing succeeds like success; and now that the failure of hist year, which was duo solely to the exciting canvass in which our people were enpiiirixl, l?is )>eon wiped out, we can conceive of no Teason why the Abbeville District Agricultural and Mechanical Association should not be regarded as a permanent and prosperous institution, working out its destiny for the good of all our people.

Elsowhore we publish a very considerable portion of the evidence in the trial of ex-State Treasurer t'ardoza. We regret tiur inability to give it entire, as it is all readable at this time, and contains facts which an intelligent public are anxious 10 learn. We now begin to know certainly of the unblushing frauds that were committed by foreigners and alions against the property holders of the Suite. The evidence on Saturday was much in the same tenor as that of the two days previous?'Woodruff and Hardy Solomon being tbe chief'witnesses?whose testimony was of a very damaging nature. The evidenco in this case will go into history as something unprecedented in uie uiiikiii m cnmt? in r>uuiu vunmuit. The crimes seem to have been committed with such a boldness as indicates the utter depravity of all the officials, and without fear of retribution. ISut that time is coming?yea, it is now upou them.

A fie* urging U*e necessity of the road and showing Lke benefits that will certainly accrue to lhe-coun:ry when the enterprise incompleted, he closed his eloquent and convincing address by saying that%he road -would be a lasting monument tothe energy and enterprise of our people, and that when "Gabriel's trumpet" should sound nur children and children's children would still be enjoving the benefits of the j-Mad. The railroad excitement runs high all .til011g the line, and the people express a unanimous determination to build it. We attended two very interesting and enthusiastic meetings in the lower part of Anderson county Hits week.. The tirst was at Carswell Institute on Thursday. The attendance was good. In that section even the ladies tako a deep interest in the enterprise, aud attend the meetings en mewse, and vou(?) know that the angels always accomplish what they undertake. .Speeches were made by lion. J. O. C. Feathers ton, J. P. l'ritchard. Col. E. M. JHucker, lion. W. C. Brown, and Rev. Mr. Carswell. Alter the speeches a resolution was unanimously adopted pledging Hall township to vote a tux of twentv thousand dollars (S'JO.tXKU To-day wo attended another enthusiastic meeting at Sherrard's store, Corner township, Anderson county. The day ?was very unfavorable, but the people turned out well. Speeches were made by the above named gentlemen and Capt. J. T.

The friends of the enterprise have just ?iuse to rejoice in anticipation of soon putting the grand undertaking on a Arm looting. The people along the whole route are doing their duty, and doing it nobly, and we feel safe in*contidently ax>.erting that the road will be mcilt and that too at no distant day. Dr. 0.

Miles Youmans and l,e(V>nte rep- kn resenting the State, and Mr. S. W. Melton 1 representing "the accused," a generaliza-; ( j tion which in this instance means nearly j nx i every Republican ex-oflicial of the State. ' coi | Several of these were present in the' * court-room, but occupied seats among | ! the spectators. . j ( j Uen. Conner addressed tho Court, sta-; pa I ting that he had intended to submit scv-1 ' era! new indictments to the grand jurv, ,hl but owing to the absence of several wftnesses he would ask that the grand jur\ < be held over until Monday next. slti The Court then announced that the ( j next case to be tried wa-? that of the State j PJJ against Cardozo, Gleaves, Woodruff and [ ' ( Leo, and askcu if counsel were ready to to j proceed. * ed I Counsel being ready?that is to say, M r.

The Court stated that the jury in this gi I case would bo jury No, 1, as No. 'J had na ! been used in the last wise. He asked if ?< any of tbojurors wereobjeoted to. Mr. Aliney challenged Shiver and; Cl; Hunter, and a discussion at once arose as j c to the true inwardness of tho jury laws.! t This was amicably adjusted by thedecis- jj11 ion of tlie Judge* tluit when the Suite objeotod to. two jurors of the twelve first presented, and their places were filled by ev two supernumeraries, theso last two tal could not be objected to by tho defendant. | Messrs. John si Wiley and John Field i were drawn and placed on the jury iu- on j stead of the two above rejected. * ( Mr. Melton asked if lio was to under- ?'e stand that under the decision Just made, '"} the prisoner would not be allowed to ob- ,jj | jeet to Mr. Wily or Mr. Field. [At this t [ |>o>nt Cardoxo came into the court-room W I iv a back wav. aud took a seat near his *'{ ! counsel.] jjJ | Tho Court said that Avas certainly the < ; meaning of its decision. < Mr. Molton asked that an exception be t<* | noted, which was done. Mr. Melton 111 It ken stated that he should require Mr. ^ . Halcott Ureen to be put upon his vuir v? ,dirc. ( 'I Gen. Conner objected that this was not ?? in order at this stago, nor until tlie panel j was exhausted. He quoted a decision of |,a 1 Judge Heed to the effect that the premp- kh ! torv challenges must be exhahsted before W I the voir dire was resorted to. j l,j Mr. Molton argued agaiust this view, i ' i lie did not think this Court slould he < ! governed in its practice bv that of Judge ?ir | Reed. < Judge Townsend decided that chid- v* I lenges fbr cause should precede prenipto* v ry challenges, such having been his prac- ilr tfee heretofore and there appearing no It good reason Ibra change in this instance. < Mr. Green was theu subjected to thejd* I usual ordeal of questions as to whether j ^ he was a relative of the tho prisoner, was; < biased in his favor, or prejudiced against j wi him, all of which questions being satis- h" factorily answered, the Judge, who had himself reserved the right to ask tbo < questions, annouueed that the juror was r? acceptable to the Court. ' jit Mr. Melton said he would challenge the i *'! same inror "for cause," and proceed to; ,)r read the jury laws at length from a vol- | unie of the Statutes at Large. He argued ' ] that the new law requiring a third com- i gr< partment in the jury box does not apply I ioi : in those oounties where the jury lists were properly prepared and drown in | pa tho tirst instance. lie concluded by say- w? ing. "I submit that all the jurors who Se havo been drawn at this term of the court W by tho jury commissioners are not prop- ^ j or and legal jurors, and that ttie cause dj. " which I allege is sufficient cause to take do I the juror from the panel and from the Jo | list of Juaors in court, {j* A long argument followed on this point. tll( the attorney-general contending that thin pr Jury, which has tried all other canes at |pa this term, was a legal one; that the State j pv had accepted it as it stands Instead of try- j * | ing to have it changed by throwing outjbe [and substituting jurors, a proceeding|Ik* ! which, if the State had attempted it, | elf i would certainly have been hailed as an : *n j effort to pack the jury to secure convic- j ! tlon. j tb< I Mr. Melton replied, and, at the conclu- < ?ui slon of his argument, the Court ruled j |>? ! that, as the act 1877 repeals all other acts I r I providing for the mode of drawing juries, I tio there is wo other mode except that which { wu I the act of 1877 provides, and under which | ha ! this jury was drawn. | j Mr. Melton again excepted totheruling. Mr. Melton then challenged Mr. *UI Green peremptorily, and he was directed to< to stand aside, ^our other white men hit of the jury were subjected to the same process and ordered to stand aside. rej These were Messrs. Crowley, English, j wa i Marti nclale and Bynuin?all good men j un land true. The live cases thus vacated jhe j were tilled by three negroes aud two | J.1^ whites. let Mr. Melton then proposed to question; one of the jurora for cause, as having ex- j pressed an opinion, but objection being lpe] made to this as irregular. He argued at | wl: some length that counsel for dofendent | fm ; has the right to interogate the juror utter; J,,s I the Court has done so. j J" Gen. Conner replied that if it could |n be proved that the juror had expressed I ult an opinion, well enough?"bring on the jit cloud of witnesses#"?but that it would | no be irregular for the counsel to examine the Jjnror himself. How could a juror'we I be made to criminate himself? j ml On this point the Court ruled that ooun sel had no right to cross-examine a ju- j rur, but that he has the right to intro- ! ^ duct* any evidence showing him to be I ws disqualified. j do The jury was then sworn. It is com-ij*'1 posed of live white and seveu colored men. ; l. The Judge directed the indictment to!\V be read. j Attorney-General Conner, in opening) j the case for the State, announced that he j s<> had entered a nul pro*., as to this indict-1 ment, against Woodruff, Lee and Jones, I and tiiat, as Gleaves had not been urrest- t|C ed, the only party now on trial would be' dl F.

Conner: In an entry made by the merchant lie tells the bookkeeper what todo.and it is presumed that every head of a firm TT knows what his bookkeeper does. The book- pny keeper is only the agent, not the principal. I Mer put it in a simple shape: Suppose, for In- In v stance, the bookkeeper makes an entry and Qshow* It to the principal, could he, on an ex- had Mutilation like the present, say "yo, the en- whl try Id there, but I did uot authorize it to be cste lone." would suchjau excuse ns that hold I de ivater? Q. Mr. Melton : No. com Uen. Conner: Of course not. There Is the hou record of the transaction. I risked the witness rem ivhat It means, and tie, as the principal, lias ij. given all explanation. A.! Judge Melton: There isnoproposition more Q. ilistlnctly lined out than thut the entry inndc cert In a merchant's books by hie clerk in protum- who ?bly his own, and can be Introduced in evl- cert: lence against theparty hlmselt. Thecontents Co jf a merchant's book under the statute nmy ?ppi be introduced against the party charged in a wlti <ult, by the merchant against the party In the Q., same suit, or in any action where the mer- wrll jliant is a party. especially where there are Q. .ni.i..cnmiina Inn liitfrmi 1:nt the law of inn' evidence draws a very broad line between the ^ Admissibility of the merchantV book against coin himself and against the stranger, ko that the >' books of a merchant are very often evidence r? ignlnst the merchant when they would not be tolerated against the stranger. Why the ?*<?"' simple answer may be made at once that that lrlr i?rt of evidence can be manufactured to any Ban extent. If Woodruif und Jones' books are to i'1'*' be put lu evidence against everybody, you thoi put everybody In this community at the mcr- to \i ey of Woodruff and Jones' clerk, and you the put in here as truth whatever Woodruff's ' i-lerk pleases to put down. If Woodruff were will the defendant we hold that the books would wltl bo evidence against Woodruff, and that they J " raipnotbe evidence against Cardoso. There "Itt is nb evidence of verifying it. It seem* Ionic S}K' that the proposition Is utterly wild. Tho at- the torncy-geneial is carrying this matter too far. I am sure that your Honor cannot allow it to pr * go so far. lull Gen. Conner: The learned counsel, in ltiy- hen ing down the principle of law which should Put exclude this evidence, has given the reason at t why It should be admitted. Ills point is, that r*E! theentry would be as good against Woodruff, and inadmissible only as against the stranger. It is Just here that his whole argument breaks '*ss down ; fur it Is not Introduced as against a stronger, hut as part of the history of the ! the transaction, a conspiracy which lias been ** proved already. It is, therefore, not evidence Q. ugalnsi the strnmrer, but against a co-con- s,n< splrator, Counsel has said that, in a quarrel between conspirators, the hooks would be admittce, Can anything be more clear than Q that those books are the roeord of the conurtr wl11 tiers In this conspiracy, and as the records of lno a conspiracy they fell entirely within the line of the excision laid down I y Cocnsel. Judge Melton: In no s^nse is Clirdotui a eo- Jt partner. The charge is not against him on the books, and furthermore I ask the attention of the Court to the further jKiint that I w apprehend the Court has not carefully consld- clu, cred, and thutjt Is the P.ict that, taking these to be declarations of Woodruff or Jones, they "e 1 are not declaration* in furtherance of the consplraey, but are the declarations of parties made after the conspiracy Is consummated, y and t herefore entirely out of the rule, i Judge P"'' Melton here read a paragraph from "Wharton ln j on Evidence" in support of this point.) If P"* such evidence is to be admitted, continued M", Judge Melton, It is directly in the teeth of the P,!! authorities I have quoted, and my friend has cited none on his side of the question."
