Tlu witnesses were promptly on hand,an.1 Imr.. dredsol dusky eltizensleft their p'ows for tin j>ur:we of attending the investigation, hut General Stoihrand failed to arrive on time. 11 was known, however, that lie would be here on the six o'clock train,and so they waited for the coming ot the man whom they had never seen, but whom they worship with that devotion which is nl:in to idolatry. They sought him early next morning, but owlmr to the fa { that it. was t!ie tnrin uay <n >\ aMon^i"", and that it was a leira! holiday, lio p <;!j?? taking testimony until Wednesday. was a sort- disappointment t ; zealous and impecunious witnesses, but they remained over, some of them until Friday moraine. The Bordeaux, L >n? Cane and other witnesses noxious to testify were then sen: home disappointed, but with the promise that they hiiould yet have an opportunity to testify. Asa whole the testimony is remarkable f- ?r more reasons than one. The witnesses it seems were remarkably Intelligent or. questions which they thought would be damaging to their white neighbors, but never an extenuating circumstaticc did not know. And it Is no less patent that when actual facts did not exist to their liking they could easy enough distort the least cireuin Manee Into an onormi< A n/vllini- v l/.n I',1 i-V f:ipt. Ol'Ctll'S I !1 tile tCS timouyof h number of witn " sses who swear thatavnry small number of white men scared into His from ten to twenty times their minibcrof negroes. A? every box it seems that the neimios were told in tlie identical words, that they should not vote, but never a one remembers the name of a man who said this or interfered with their right to vote. From this latter fact, it is clear that some of them either swore falsely as to the facts or as to their knowledge of the offending party. Without exception tlie negroes denied the reason for t heir organizing into companies on the day of election, when It is a well known fact, and one which we have never heard denied, that t icy do so for the purpose of intimidating the inoretimid of their own race. The r a lerhas > - . - - - .11..i,# o i.ti-inii nr rhiwi* al Kilty U> liiil-ti; n im 11,1.1. ? leged to liuvc been run o'l from the polls without voting, to learn that thy population of J he county has fully doubled since the census oi July, 1S80. Another fact will appear to cltl. zens wh-i know anything of the recent election, that the negroes ?re now disposed to charge the wiiitc people with hull -dozing in c order to excuse themselves lo their masters i>r their own apathy and u--gleet of interest In the election. For their apathy the negroes may bo excused, from the fact that no liepublii-ane er came among them during the campaign ; no speech was ever made to them, nor did Stolbruud or any other ItcpubMcan seek their votes. It it is quite likely, if the lVatocratic nominee had shown th'isainc Indifference to his clcction that the Republican nom. liu'O did, ho would have been superseded by unotiicr. A man who aspires to congressional honors o\vc> It to his constituents to if ' among them and rally them to the party standard*. In our opinion General Stolbrand coiner with poor grace among his neglected constituents to ask them at this lato hoar to )>utliim in an oflieo to which lie made no etf ?rt to he elected, and to which his constituents tailed to els'-'t huu.

Appeals from Trial Justice Courts. Whoever witnessed the vc.intlous delays ami waste of time at the lnt?* '"ourt, incident to the hoarin ' of appeals from Trial Justices, will recognize the necessity of providing some , other mode of hearing such appeal*. Whole days were coit>umcd in the trial of p.'tly cades often not involving flfty doil.trs. While the parlies to cases involving thousands were 0:1 l.aad with their witnesses at heavy expense, and had frequently to see their cases continued to the next term. As the law >lands, it can't be helped and the Court is not responsible for It. But it is respectfully suggested to the codiilcrs that they rem.dy tiieevd l>y ap1 lying to it the same act j .as^ed at the lastses* b'ou of the Legislature, whereby appeals JTOtn 1 I lai .MISIIC'V, U1 u l uminal .... rindj to bo heard upon tl;o record us sent tip, and not Uc novo.
