Tho State waa represented by' At torney-General You mans and Utrcuit^So licitor Dargan. Col. Cash's lawyers were .Col. B. C.*Watts, Gen. W. L. T. Prince .and Mojor Spam. The jury consisted of twelve white men. Nine witnesses wero put upon the stand by tho State, but tho defence declined to trouble the jury with : any evidence, thns obtaining the reply in"; the argument. Col. B. C.

Jodge Presaley's was strong and "necjuivocal, and .wound np by assuring the jury that, a.cording to the law, the offence with which tim prisoner was charged, was mur kier, and it waa nothing elf e. The jury weat out at halt' past tour on ..Friday af yerooon, and at ll o'clock at night, not having brought in their verdict, the Court ww; adjourned until Saturday.

' Blow the Whistle: 11?o contemplated Railroad from Ches ter, 8. C., by the way of Newberry and Edgefield, to Augusta. Ga., will soon bs built-if the ptople interests* will only wilt it to bo so. Thia road would shorten the distance between some of the most Important commercial centro* in Die Western hemisphere. The resources to be developed are immense. To say noth ing of tho farming interest and the tim ber along the proposed route, the Broad Riff*r and the Saluda may be used to turn mayhiuery enough to keep this Rail -way ii a flourishing condition Let a heavy lot of elbow grease ba applied to the whueh of progress without further tielay, or any more unnecessary talk ; .nd let the whistle blow in triumphant strains over the success of " The Chester <t Augusta Railroad." Sew Life for tbe Bine Ridge* The ar ide from the New York JTSmes. which we publish on anothtr page, givirg the skeleton of a scheme ?which is likely to be carried into exe cation for the completion of the Blue Ridge Rii-road, will be read with great interest bj nil of our readers as a movement ??Vcting the material development of our whole State in a mot vitsl manner. The Blue Ridge is inseparably connected with the past history of our State, and its. re vival ?3 like the return of a dear old friend. 11 was th? conception of Cal houn and Hayce, whose broad minds recognized the importance of linking ia commercial interest the*grand val leys-the grain growing region of the "Western world-^with the South At lantic rea coRst 8nd securing i's out Jet through our State. Lnder the wise influences which then actuated oar government, the systems of rotd planned for the development of the resources of our State wore all located . as subsidiary to the grand trunk which was to crots in a direct, line from our State to the granaries of the West. Our puerile railroad policy since the war, and the rauds connec ted with the Blue Ridge Railroad daring the rv construction period, have given to many an andae prejudice to this Road, bat when it is remembered that np to this period the Road was in the hands of competent and dis tinguished men of oar State, and. - a vast deal of very thorough and per manent work has been done upon the Road in this State and Georgia, and also in Tennessee, there is no reason for this prejudice. Tnirty-three miles has been built in South Carolina, and, to show the character of the work xjpon this Road, it is only necessary to examine the culfcertp, which will stand for centuries ; the bridges and trestles, the moat important of which were put there before the war and are now in good condition with tho original timber; and the iron, which, though ueed for oven twenty years ia fo-day of superior quality, though not up, of course, to the latter inven tions. From three.to four millions of dollars have been put into this Road io such substantial work that it is now eroding and in available condition. Although the work already done upon this line pf Road his been very extensive and thorough, even it is not the greatest advantage offered l?y the route, for it ia a central line, with out dependence upon any other links of combinations. By the Blue Ridge roots there will be bat three links in the connection to Knoxville, while in the Asheville routes there will be not less than fire or six. This is the most feasible and desirable of all the.rou tes across the mountains, not only for upper C*ro!ina, but for the whole State, for it will be independent of all other lines, and will control a large portion the Western freights in the interest of Sooth Carolina's commerce. -It will be to a*.?f greater value than .the Western and Atlantic Railroad is to Georgia. . We are inclined to think the road :T?jll now bs built, for it is a necessity --to the Colombia & Greenville, the Sooth Carolina and the Ouarlotte, Columbia & Augusta Railroads The Clyde svndic .te, who own tho Colom bia & Greenville and the Charlotte, Columbia & Augusta Railroads, also own a controlling interj in this end cf the Blue Ridge, and "Mr. Sib) ihe principal owner of the Air Li owns the Tennessee end of The Ra The Air Line has no interest ea3i Charlotte or weat of Atlanta, so il cozl? obtain friendly . rates at Sen City from the West, it could sup; the trade to Charlotte, ,and compi with t^ WosterooV Atlantic .in c WTJiogthese freights, for Atlanta ti "all pointa in Southern Georgia. ? i Sihjiey, therefoje, is interested in 1 j completion O&the Blue Ridge. 1 Clyde syndicate own, besides 1 [Roads.mantioued, lines oi. steam from the principal South n poi <ttad of course desire to compete this western trade.

In th however, they failed, as a Philad phis combination secured it, and. w run it in combination with the Lpn ville & Nashville Road, in a mann hostile to the Clyde interest. Ti event, in our. opinion; has cevelop the Blue Ridge enterprise, and t Clyde syndicate, with Mr. Sibley a those they can influen?a to a& them, are perfectly able to comp!? this new outlet, which will so great benefit it em an 1 thiewho'o section country. -.? ?<??>? ?-- ? Paris Simkins, Lawrence t'nln, Jct Jones and Others nu the ttitncs Stand oC Smalls and Tait. . Piiris Simkips said that, " oa the nij previous to the election, " therejtve-requ A number of .armed men ia the tovvn Ltlge?eld, who paraded up and dawn t streets, all mounted, 5ring oft" their piet arid-yelling in--tbs.most hideous mann .I-was on the etreet myself, and desired ^et'b?ck to my home; bnt waa afraid to hick on the front 'street, 'ss I cathe, tVar that 1 might be recognized and sh< not that I had done anything to be ni tor, bot knowing that I was regard?e leader of tho Republican party, was w J was apprehensive of danger. This tiri cmtinutrd five or ten minutes, lt occt red to me that tho object of the firing w to "flectually intimidate the republieai At any rate I was very much affect-d I ?t I should judge -th^re were betwe -'.'.W) and 400 men in the crowd. It w just after dark ; could not distingu eh the by their faces, but by the flashes of th< pistols could tell that some of them hi on red shirts. They were all strangers rae. I was present near the polls at Edg field C. H. on the day of electiou. I a rived near th? polls about 7 o'clock, thea understood the box was in the Cou House. The entrance to where the bc was, was densely pacsed by democrat who kept their position-?, which render? it impossible for me or any other republ o*n to go in and vote, without precipita ing a riot or row in trying to elbow m way through the crowd. I heard sue wjrds as these; 'Boys, hold your position \3tand firm.' I also saw some Democrats o "the gromid pitching rocks or brick bats rt to the other democrats on tho porch of th Court "louse. Of cosrse they eaugh them and held them. There appeared t bo an imaginary line drawn just in fror of the Court House, down on the grouse there were democrats who would walk u and down this lino, and as tho republican would come towards trie Court House the; were told just hero not to go any furthei I noticed this matter with peculiar inter eit. There appeared to be an officer ii chargo of thc line. Tho officer whom allude to WES dressed in a very peculia suit of ciot'i^s ; I tavo no recollection c over seeing such a suit before. As the re publicans came into town, it seemed ti eiuse quito a stir among the democrats n and around the polling place. I saw quit a number of democrats rendezvousing ii Masonic Hall. They carried their guns o rifles with them : did not go up in a body tnt went two or three at a time. .Severa times during the morning ibero ser-med ti be some excitement : then 1 could seo somi ol'the men in the Hall rush to the win dow? in a menacing attitude. 1 then lef the vicinity of tho box, and I urged ?the: republicans to leave also, as I was san they could not have a fair expression o their choice at the ballot box. As neara: l ean estimate,, ?here were between eigh teen and -twenty-five hundred repubiics.ni who cams to this box to vote, but lei without doing so, for the reasons I bav< given. I think thero wereabon' rfj seventy five democrats on the Court Honsi steps and upon the porch together; thesi places wero crowded to their utmost cr.' pacity. There wero a few democrats or tho ground just in front of the Courl House, who aeemed to be on picket duty There were also democrats at Masonic Hall; the number 1 don't know. Cor. etaptly, however, there would come inte town a company of mounted democratp I can't say how many came in during the day. At ono time I saw a young niau, democrat, draw out his pistol ??nd start in the direction of some republicans who were just in front of the Court House, as if he saw some ono that he intended to get inte a difficulty with, but just at this time he waa arrested in his progress by memboii? of hia own party laying hands upon him and saying, 'don't do that.' Thov nil re turned to the Court House steps.'' On his cross examination, Simkinr: ?id that he saw the republicans on the morning of the election come into the vi?lsgo : some of them had sticks and some of them had nothing. Some of the slicks were the size of ordinary walking sticks, and others un usually large, though they walked tvTth them as walking sticks. Harry Oliphant was at Cheatbam'a Store on the day of election. Did not voto; was run off by the democrats, who fired thMe times at him. No other republican waa driven off.. " 1 know these pistol shots were fired at roe, because there was not but one man after me in an open old field." Norman Youngblood was at EJgeficld C. H. on the day of election. Witness 8iw a double barrel shot gun on the Court House seps, a Jo-shooter under the porch_ four men with"pistols in their hands, and the best quantity had pistols on them ; t?aw two men on the street with shotguns and saw two or three dozen Remington rifles. About two or threo dozen men carno out of a store on Park Kow with guns and went into Masonic. Hall and Mr. Boh* Mirna's gallery. Lawrence Cain said ho was County Chairman of the Republican party during the political campaign previous to the re cent election. " I considered my party more thoroughly organized and moro do terminod to voto than it ever waa. Du ring the last campaign 1 deemed it inex pedient to hold masa meetings in the Coun ty. I held three or four meetings which were made np of Precinct Chairmen alone, and most of thean meetings were held in a soniewhat private way. I was afraid to hold public meetings, and was told by prominent republicans that they thought % mass meeting would bo treated by dem ocrats just as they were in 1876 It is trell known that our meeting on the 12th infjuot, wa* brok^c np ty th* d*m ocrats, -and that we held no other IL: meetings daring that campaign save o which was attended by a U. S. Com?a sioner and several ?. S. Marshal?. Wh the last meeting waa held there were s or seven Companies of ?. S. troops' town. I am aatisfied if the rep?blica had been allowedHo vote untraveled thc would have been a larger republican vc polled in Edgefield in 1SS? than was ov polled at any previous election. If a vc er was known to be a'democrat, he bad trouble whatever in voting ; but up to o'clock, not a republican vote had be polled. I saw quite a number of piste in the hands of red-ahirters, while the vc ing was going on ; and from the porcn ai -windows of Maaonic Hall, .the piazza the Printing Ole?, from the store do now occupied by the Joint Stock Comp ny, and on tho streets, were quite a nun b?r of white men with gun? and pistols their hands. I did riot vote, believing th f could not do so with safoty. The reasc we did not persist in our right to vot was that there waa an armed tbs in froi of us. and we felt satisfied it would eau a difficulty. I saw a number of rppubl cms marching into town with walkir sticke, not clubs. There were 2,000 cc . ored republican:; ia . jwn that day. Thei are no colored democrats in this Count Kot one. Almost every one of them wt claims to be a democrat have been to n and told me how they stood. Sotuo them have told me that I knew wke they got their bread and batter from. Lc untramtled, I wool 1 be willing to swei that cveiy one of the 2,000 colored vote present that day wocld have voted tl republican ticket." Seise JoneH, ?. S. Republican Bupervii or at Edgefield C. H., BR?CT: I arrived i the polls about half-past four in thc mon ingT. There were about 100 democrats i the Court'-iIon?c at that time. There wei three double barrel shot guns in the prii oner's box, about one fool from tho balle box, and remained there two or three hour I don't know to whom they belonged. < democratic Sopervieor took them away ? the time a row was rawed on the -.streel by a man drawing ? pistol, I did nc keep a poll list because I did not think i would be Fafe for me to do so, aa I wo told by. democrats if I attempted to mak a report I would not be allowed to act a Supervisor. The republicans did nothav free access to the poils, because on one sid the front door was barred, and the demo erat? stood on the porch with pistols an< said that ' no d-d negroes should vdt there.' This contiuued until about 4 o'dec] in the evening. About 2.000 republican were around the polia attemptirg to. ge -into the polls, but were not allowed to en ter.
