It has been many years, If ever in the hlRtoryot South Carolina thata Judge has been . called upon to face so large and brilliant an f srray of legal talent as did Judge Gary, but a clear and wise head with a full understanding of law carried him tnrough this notable case with honor to himself and satisfaction to all parties interested, as well as the lull approval of the people at large. _ Would that South Carolina had many such Judges as the Hon.

JOHN HAKRfS CAPTURED NEAR ABHEVILLE. John Harris, the slayer or Policeman Dras bach of Atlanta, has been at large tor over two weeks outwitting the Atlanta police, but at last was "rounded up'' near Abbeville la?i Sunday, when he was captured and brought In by Sheriff Lyon, aldrtl by Policemen Johnoon and McLane, and Mr. \V. P. Ferguson, on whose plantation the negro was located. Sheriff .Lyon and his posse surrounded the ft boose and John Harris ran out expecting to make good his escape, but he was immddlate* ly covered by a double ba.rel shotgun in the hands of officer McLane, and seeing his danger be Jumped back Into the house shutting and biding himself In a closet; the officers rushed in and brought him irom his hiding place after a slight scuttle in wnlch Harris came out somewhat worsted. He was brought to Abbeville and lodged in Jail when a telegram was at once sent to Chlei Ball of Atlanta, who, wth officer Rosset t started immediately for Abbeville and upon r tbelr arrival the negro was identified aud taken off on the 4 o'clock train to Atlauta. He seemed unconcerned about his fate, even [ saying he was the man wanted, and showing 1 the knife with which he killed Policeman Drasbacb. We regret to say he was an Abbe) vllle county negro, and ol a rather notorious r character,?one who had departed from his raising, and in so doing at last meet* the fate he so rlobly deserves. Returning to his old haunts he was recog b nlzed, and on last Thursday came near being k captured by Mr. J. T. Hester Just below ^ Mount Carmel, about fifteen or twenty miles Southwest of Abbeville. Last, but not least, Ik the reward which will we presume be divided among the four, not however forgetting to give the informant his KB share as he was the first figure in the wheregQl^^abouts that lead to bis capture.

The Abbeville merchants are now having a fine trade?runny of their stores crowded a!i day long. This is owing first, to the elegant, large, and well assarted stocks kept by the Abbeville merchants, and, secondly, to the good price that has been paid this season lor cotton. ? We notice another "Richmond" In the field f ?that Is In the "cotton market." In tne person of that genial and atlable gentleman, Capt. Joe N. Nance, who Is rushing this mar . kfet In behalf of the farmers from a "Bullish" ' W standpoint, against tbe "Bears."

Views on the Verdict. -> Columbia Record. Todny we give the views ol two of contemoorarles in the neighboring state of Georgia. ?l The Atlanta Journal editorially says: "If any of those who have read and digest- P* ed the evidence are able to draw from it the bl logical conclusion that the slayer of the Co- ,n lumbla editor Bhould have gone scott free, f] they have some pe'culiar mental advantage over us. ctl "Kor the fact remains that the editorials, | ?n which it Is admitted Inspired Tillman to the shooting, were nrlnted months before the killing of their writer, and whatever reason Tillman may have had to suppose that Gonzales was bitter enough against him to kill him, there was nothing brought on the witness stand to show that Tillman had cause to J suppose that Gonzales was actually bent on {7* murder when the trugedy occurred. There 8 was no testimony elicited to lead to the 1 logical Inference that Tillman was forced to fll shoot Gonzales to preserve hid own life. do "There was nothing in the evidence to give the lie to the popular lmpre&reion that Till* men Irnfiro ho touh shnnMntr A man who ex peeled no bloody assault from him. TUlman wi goes free. The Jury ban failed to And him tn gulltv in any degree whatsoever. But the to people of the country, who have bad before he iheui the same evidence with which thejury It was possessed, have already passed their ver- lo diet upon TUlman. 01 "It is most unfortunate that these men who to saton the box at Lexington should not have A realized that they had in their hands the power to draw upon the state a great deal of criticism. In which a great deal of Injustice will be mixed." The Atlanta News, however, takes a different view of the verdict. It says: "The truth, however, is that the exonera* tion of the exlieatenaut governor is a remarkable triumph of passionless Justice. " Gonzales was Infinitely more popular than **' the man who killed hlra, and a character in- i* finitely more to be admired, and had the weight of popular sentiment on his side. 5 With rare and commendable fairness, though j, the South Carollnlnns disabused these ex- ^ traneous tacts from the case and debated the ? tragedy upon Its own merits. They consider ? ed not the respective records of the two men, nor their respective reputations, but the crime and the provocation therefor, and they rightfully decided that the better man had hounded the worser to a point that Justified tr the worser In his act, If any elements other it than blindfolded Justice bad been allowed to enter Into the verdict Tillman would have been found guilty. "If personal feelings of the average South Carolinian. If friendship or admiration had d been permitted to weigh In the case, the slay- i er of Gonzales would have been brought o bound to the gallows or sent shackled to the li penitentiary. The verdict, therefore, is Spar- n tan in Its courage and its self-denying Jus- s tlce, and upon It the Palmetto state deserves k congratulations. As for Colonel Tillman, let t him seek oblivion." li o DUE WEST. I Interesting Paragrapnii ay a WideAwake Correspondent. Due West, S. C..
