Fer vor th, (a citizen,) charged with Larce ny—Xegro Testimony. The Superior Provost Court of the 3rd Sub-Dietrict, Er stern South Carolina, so ably patiently and efficiently presided over by th« Honorable K. R. Clerk, of Lowell, Massachusetts, has recently been the forum in which one of .the must re markable cases has been tried, that has ever been recorded in tbo anmiLrof crim inal jurisprudence. To give some idea of the developments that were produced up on the trial, it is necessary to premise, that •otne two weeks previous to the considera tion of the case aud circumstance under •discussion, the same defendant, James A. Foxwotth, was indicted, arra'm^ed and tried,'before Judge (lark, upon a charge of stealing a bale of cotton from the plan- tatMto of one Willis Spann, of Sumter Dirtriet. The defendant was prosecuted by Mr. T- B. Fraser, on tbo purt of the goverqmeut t and defetidedby F. J. Moses and T. W r . Dinkins, Esquires. The pros ecution developed a train of circumstan tial evidence to implicate th»> defendant, add produced one witness of high charac ter, who swore positively that be was satis- fieif that the bale of Cotton in question, and identified by the witnesses, was the cotton alledged to have been stolen by the defendant. The witness could go qo fur ther than to express his entire satisfaction that the cotton was the same. Much evi- deoce was also produced in reference to the character and quality of the cotton, the baawing, rope, siie and measurement. The defence produced five witnesses, who testifiei mg tive’y aud positively to a contrary state of facts. After argument, the court, with the sound judicial discre tion that characterizes the decisions of dodge Olark, acquitted the defendant, as important doubts were raised by the cop- flicting statements of the witnesses, and the defendant was entitled to the benefits of said doubts. This trial, and the fact that the testimony of fVeodmen Was Ad mitted, gave ground for wide and extend ed speculation A large and respectable audience attended, and lew doubted but that the defendant was guilty, but admit ted t)ut the testimony raised a doubt It is thui perceived that there is always a gilen* prejudice at work against any man, however innocent, who incurs thermisfor tune to labor under a charge tVom any quarter. The cunning of the negfro is proverbial, aud this accusation against Mr. Fox worth constituted the basis of the jwiamcwtion, y, which we arfabout to make reference. Mv, Foxworth is a man of hi^h natural intdli<|miceand great shrewd ness, and is most respectably connected, but these charge* and the first trial, raised great «Mpiciao» as to bis honesty and in- tegrky—m fact, he haA a bad name, aud when a man has a downward path to go, everybody ia armed against him Great X iantlties of cotton bad bec« stolen, and e teal ef public condemnation had bfeen fastened upon the defendant. On Tuesday hist, then, James A. Fpx- wortn was arraiguci before fkuUge cWk on \ three several indictments—for the ataaiiBg of sundry bales of cotton. Iu all the oases Mr. E. Y\ . Moise appeared for the government as prosecutor, aud the defendant was defended by James 8. 0. Richardson and T. Vf. Dinkins, Esquirea. The first indictment Contained three counts. 1st That the said defendant did, on or ubont the 10th day of September. 1865, purchase four bales of cotton from the frecdpicu Adt/oand /.rue/,and others, in the employ of F. H. Kennedy, which wtton was stolen, and which the defend ant knew to have been stolen by the said negroes, aud without the necessary permit Rwm the comnmndaut of the post aa re quired by law. The second count, char- gwHirm directly with stealing said cotton property of F. ft. Kennedy, and the fhird count charged them with Veceinng the said cotton, kqowtug-it to have been stolen, and so forth. * . ; *~ Tfie second iiidittiiwiit charged that two months pre ipully, the fiefendrint procu- red the'said wegmes to steal the said cot- to«. *nd tout fifty dollar* as an inducement and so forth.

The witness was then subjected to a rig id cross ‘exajnination - by the defenjiu&t> counsels, all that could be elicited was a straight forward tale, and that Mr. James Foxworth.utw the man. - Witness knew hint—and" the re isMuas.Jeems Foxworth” (pointing to him.) ’ibe defendant's.eouo- s.*l pressed the witness so vigorously that tbo counsel for the government internosed and asked the protection of the court for the wituese. The court suggested to the counsel that lie must take into considera tion the condition of the witness, as he had just been made tVce, and was uneducated. *5nd that this was his first experience in a court of justice. '1 he witness further said “so help me God, Mass Jeems is the man —me aud Israel gave the cotton to him,” and looked slily at Mr. F. and aaid "don't I know Mass JeemsT’ All this time, not a man in the court room, saving the de fendant and-, bis counsel, believed in bis innocence. Next Israel the ftewlmun, was exumiuciF—when sworn to tell the truth, he says, raising his hand aud calling, in a theatrical manner, God to witness, said, "Yes Bos*, the truth from here to Heav en.” Tjiis witness has, as a slave, borne an irreproachable character, and enjoyed the confidence of his former master, and present employer, Col. F. II. Kennedy.— Witness said be had been concerned iu it, aud repeated the same story, and corrobo rated the testimony of Adda iu every par ticular, with not the slightest deviation, said the matter had been on his mind all the time, sleeping and waking—that while driving his master he could uut rest, but that the truth had to come out. *'So help him, Lord, Mare Jeems Foxworth is the man that got the cotton. Here he is,” |(pointiugto him) and so forth. Every body was confident, aud uo reasonable man could doubt the certain conviction of the defendant But the Goverumeut intro duced other testmiony—Mr. Kennedy as to the loss of the cotton—and also other fteedmen who testified to detached por tions of the facts, and circumstances as .narrated by Adda acd Israel, f'uloin, a troadman, sworn that the $50 was sent by him, from Mr. Foxworth, and so forth, and so on. The proof as high as Peleon on Ossa, was piled pq the head of the de fendant. Many interesting side-bar argu- meuts were had between the counsel, and then ctnnc the defence. the counsel for the defence made seve ral points to rebut the testimony of the prosecution. , First, to prove an 'alii, and to impeach the credit of the witnesses, all of which were brought forward as well as the circumstances of a very had case would admit of. To save time, the government admitted the previous bad character of A'tit&, W,»fc /»>•«»«/ mwLfcllan is»4 xwl unimpeached. The alibi could only be (MB-ually made out by the testimony—os fbr instance, the mother of the defendant slept in an adioining room—saw defend ant retire to Bed, was herself sick, and heard defendant, who has a cough .cough ing in the night, also the father of the de fendant.' Thecontradietory statements of the first witnesses, Addo and Isra.fl, were nexthrotrght up. but could not be sustain ed, for the defendant's own witnesses turn ed against hifls, and there he stood, in the solitary disgrace of a condemned villain. The interest of the crowd had somewhat subsided, as the ease was too clear; Seme came and went, and some tarried, to hear the speaking of the emrasel; hqt iu this instance they were disappointed, aa... the judge said it wa* unnecessary to consume time in argtuobnti as the cas* was made out beyond any question.

He replied “No,” aud* seemeir ti) place himself upon he gunrd,aqd^hung his head. Mr. Moist watched the movement very closely, uml intently evoj the witness. Immediately after the examination of the witnesses for the prosecution, Mr. Moise sought outthe Provost Marshall, and said to him that Addo may'have told the truth, no doubt, but not all the truth, add that we must find out where all Mr. Kennedy's cotton iSl The trial being closed, the Pro. Mar shal began his investigations, and conduct ed them as will ho afterwards seen with most astonishing results. He first ap proached the defendant, Foxworth, aud after an interview with him, stated to Foxworth's counsel, that he doubted the guilt of the convicted man, fVom the sol emnity of his asseverations of innocenee. He next toot AtA/o into the country, in a carriage. The counsel for the government suggested to the Assistant Provost Mar shall, Cupt. Burgess, that he knew some thing of the negro character, and that some fifty or a hundred .lashes upon his hack would bring the truth. This, of course to a Northern man appeared strange; hut, at all events, the parties proceeded into the country, the scene of the commis sion of felony. They reached the place aud hbgnu to question Addo, and pointing out places as to where the wagon went, detected that it was impossible for the wagon to go through the way pointed out by AHifo. Addo still persisted in the truth of his former statement. But at last the dernier remedy was resorted to. Un der eompulskui, Addo said he had lied, and that some other parties, and not Mr. Foxworth, got the cytton. Mirabilu Die- tin ! The Assistant Provost Marshall was astonished and did not know what course to pursue, lie had heard the testimony the day previous, and as the proper officer of tho government assisted iu the conduct of the prosecution and the change in the statement of the witness completely non plussed him. However, the Provost Mar shall proceeded to do justice to the grave mutter entrusted to his supervisiou and charge. He took the witness, Addo, and eventually traced up the cotton, and im plicated some eight or ten othef parties, and Mr. James A. Foxworth was an inno cent and persecuted man. Mr. Moise ex amined a great many freedmeu and peo ple, and the following facts were elicited : A Mr. Daniel Kenney went in compa ny with a soldier of the garrison by name of YY cleb, to a Mr. T. S. YY'ehb’s planta tion, 1 j miles distant from the town, and hired his wagon, as they said, to haul some government cotton. He hired it to them. Some freedmen. Sam, Well, Joe BVuVe (Barber,) and others, accompanied the wagon, Kenney and the soldier YVcIeh. They alt went to Mr. Kennedy’s planta tion, at night, and saw the negroes Addo and Israel, took the cotton and returned through the town to Mr. YVebb’s, planta tion. The latter has & screw, at which he generally repacks cotton for the public.—> On the following morning, Kenney and the Soldier applied to him, (Mr. T. 8. Webb,) tp record and repack it for them He agreed to record it. as his Screw wa- out, *>t order, mid eou.d not repack it.— They then offered him one third of it, if ho wnaltl- sell it for them. To tl^a he. Mi*. Webb, agreed ; and having other cot ton for sale, he brought these four bales info market and two others, which he sold as his own. He first obtained, according to the general orders upon the subject, a permit, which is done by making affidavit that the cotton is the property of the ven dor. Upon this affidavit Sir. T. S. Webb, was arraigned before Judge Clark, on a oharge of perjury. He put in a special plea, stating the facts, and that he consid ered the affidavit as a formality,and threw himself upon the mercy of the court.— Fined 8100 and to refund the money re ceived for the cotton. Keonoy. a shop- keeper, and YVelch made their etMp* from the guard, having alreadv received a part of the purchase money or the stolen cotton. : : / Mr. Moise then moved before the Court, that the two convictions against James A. Foxworth be re-op*oed, and ordered for a new trials A long U*t of witnesses were HtreiuMd, s*i rievdLlto yond all doubt, the facts as last stated Thai mw trW wa* < crime he had committed against ad man, but Addo looked slyly from under the whites of bis eyes and said he “hoted Mass Jeems would not think hard The cates were opened seriatim, and Mr. Foxworth was discharged. Thn* the innocent has escaped. He has been relieved from that heavy stigma, that hung, a lew days ago, like a pall upon him and his family.: lie was proreu innocent by t bum me witnesses who called heaven to witness their former statements, convicting him. 7 if!" ‘ ' Judge Clark was as prompt to do the innocent accused justice aa he was prompt and dertenntned in the first instance, to do hls duty to the government which he represented. YY’hile referring to him, the Bar have to thank him, for great patience, great Amiability and courtesy, in the or deal; iw a Judge, be has to pass through nearly every day, while his decisions arc characterized by great clearness, itnpar- tiality, and promptness. rnnnpjy ordered the perjured wit nesses, Adao and Ire el before a military coumiissioo, there to he indicted and tried for Larceny and Perjury. So ends the second and last Chapter of this eventful and extraordinary case. The simple, instructive lesson it inculcates, is to take, with caution and circumspection, the evidence of negroes, against white men. The negro m.ty be, in the future, educated, to a degree, to understand the solemnities and obligations of an oath, and become worthy of the freedom which civilization and the march of events have cast upon him. but God forbid that GRO TESTEEfr "CO. ijfrr any people should he subjected, tried and con- acmned by negro testimony, if Addo and Israel arc specimens of veracity. 4 Piano-Forte Manufacturers, 41)9 BROADWAY.

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN PEKBY; Provisional Governor of the Stale of South Carolina, do proclaim, ordir and de clare, that there shall be formed and organized in each Judicial District one or more militia companies for a home police, to act under and be auxilary to the military garrison of such District in preventing crimes and preserving the peace of the District. The companies will consist of af'aptain and three Lieutenants and eighty men’, scattered over the District so as to be easily accessible from all points where any disturbance may occur. When the com panies are formed, they will report, th'ouph their Captains, to the respective Brigadier Generals commanding in South CatoMna. and to the Provost Marshals at tho respective Court Houses, and from them receive orders. When arrests have been made, they will turn the of fenders over to the civil authorities or bring them before the Provost Court Marshal for trial and punishment, according to the terms of agreement between Generals MEADE and OILLMORE and myself as to the respective jurisdiction of the civil and military authori ties of South Carolina. This police guard will be voluntary in its organization, and should be composed of none but discreet persons of standing and character in the comtauTt^j, who are willing to render their services promptly when the oeevieu re quires. It is thought that the bare organiza tion of such forces throughout the State, will have a most salutary influence in preserving peace and order and in preventing crime — The evil doers will know that there is a power, ready at hand, to arrest them and bring them to justice. It is to be honed that all good cit izens will cheerfully render this service. It should be a post of honor, as it is, to guard and protect the country, Done at Columbia, the day and year above stated. 'B. F.'PERRY. By order of the Provisional Governor. W. II.
