B| Slate constables Newell and Price have - been spending several days with ihe '"boys" around town, and have succeeded In demonI stralint: to a low of our citizens that "the way of the transgressor is hard." ]t was all ac" compllshed in this way : Some ten days ago Newell brothers and Price came to our city purporting to he brick masons, each having t his trowel, plumb line, etc.. and ostensibly expecting to work on the new court house when the brick-laying began. One of them seemed to be a little hard pressed for money, and to relieve his wants laid brick for a day at the Grendel ColtoD Mills. While these gentlemen were walking around town they uaturally became acquainted with some of the boys, and when it Wiis learned that they , were of a "thirsty"' disposition, naturally they were Introduced to some of the gentlemen who could minister to their wants. It all weut along well until Saturdav evening ' when these erst while patrons ot the "tieors" 1 appeared in a different girb, wearing state I constable badges, aud accompanied by Policei men McMillan and Illley. Then there was tumult In the camp of the Philistines, and - the leaders began with one accord to devise means by w hich to escape the penalties which " they knew were sure to follow. There was a ': 1 " * n/\MnnM lutuiAltfii* at\H I ha it'll 11 Ill'l uu onj WIUCl, 1<<<TC01, CUU work went merrily on until all the liquors, i etc., bad been gathered in.

Some twelve or more of them went before Judge Austin, save bond for their appearance this morning, when it will be learned exactly bow the vile stuff managed to get into ttie business houses of each of those brought forward. It will no doubt beau In; terestlng gathering, and all will certainly , have a respectful hearing. GREENWOOD VS. COLUMBIA.

Butler passed through the city last week on his way home after attending the funeral of Gen. McGowan. Gen. Dutler , expressed himself freely on the Senatorial race.raying that McLaurin was the only man in the race who was at all worthy to represent the State in the Senate. Irby he said was telling that Hampton and ;I5utler lost as much time from the Senate as he, when the truth was that Irby lost more time iu one session than he did in the whole eighteen years which he (Butlei) spent there.
