Necessity of Sapplemeotiog the; Si? te School Tai. In announcing the opening of our j free common schools, we are remind ed that the late legislature, unfor tunately, did not pass a general law allowing the voters of school districts j to levy a local school tax to supple, ment th? proceeds of the State tax. It is very necessary that thia power should be given in order to perfect the public school system; and the amount of the tax could be so re stricted as to prevent any abuse cf the privilege. Such a law, in behalf of particular localities-the city of Columbia for instance-has been suc cessfully tried in thia State, and we hope that it will be extended next year. ing down the leaves ?ike- an autumn wind.

They sent in heavy col umns against us in front and flank, and we were, compelled to fall back. This waa about 10 o'clock. We mount ed our horses and were led by Gen. Hampton in a charge, capturing some wagonp and a few Yankees. We were then halted near a house where we were exposed for sevt ral minutes to" a'heavy'cannonade, then with drawn, which ended our fighting for this day. About IC o'clock Gen.

Miss Kinard's Tragic Deatb. Clrcnmstauces Which Point to Foul Play. [Special to the Register. i~? 1 '"' PROSPERITY, S. C., January 14: After much delay and inquiry, I have been enabled to learn the following particulars in the case of Miss Laura Kinard, who was found dead in her father's house January 8th. She.had apparently been sitting in front ot the fireplace (or at least it appeared so to any one entering the room) and had fallen forward on her face into the fire. Her arms were burned nearly off and her face was burned beyond recognition. As soon as it was known in the community, her friends and relatives went to perform the last sad rite?, .bot the father refused them admission to the room, and would allow no one to enter. The coroner was driven off by him on^ Saturday, but afterwards returned and forced his way into the room and held the inquest. Her father had not buried her, as stated in my former communication, and he still refuses to allow her remains to be interred. At the inquest, Kinard admitted that he had given his daughter some medicine the day before, but refused to tell the jury what it was in the presence of the physicians who had been attending at the inquest After j the physicians retired he said it was an infusion of bayberry, skull cap, alder and-the fourth herb I have been unable to learn the name. This created a suspicion in the minds ot the jury, and they had the stomach taken out and sent to Charleston for analysis. Drs. McIntosh and Gilder j made the examination. The father bears a rather bad repu tation in the community, as a root doctor and, among the negroes, a Ile now permits negroes many gall men in this day's battle would e too much time.

The Jury-Room Conspiracy. Proo?Stroug: as Holy Writ of Speet'i Nefarious Plot. ' C. 0. Turnor, of SparUnburg, pm of the perjured United States juron %no agreed witir others td convict Ithe defendants ia. the election trials at Columbia last month --before he?^i ing the' evidence, and, after being sworn as a juror to find a verdict upon (he evidence alone, has publish ed a statement in the Carolina Spar tan which is as villainous in language aa it in absolutely, false in fact. . The statements maoV by it? Nwsfan? Courier, alleging that caucuses 'had i cai jurors ?md au agreement intered into tb" convict the^.aefendants, with or without evide"nce,; for political pur poses, ^ "were baaed " uppn . affid avi ts made by certain jurors who were present at the caucuses, but who could not consent to enter into'the damna ble conspiracy. These affidavits were held by the counsel for the defence; and would have been submitted to the Court if Judge Bond had not wisely determined to put an end to the shameful prosecutions. ~ If the statements made by the cor respondent of the IVews and Courier needed any corroboration, Mr. Long very emphatically and satisfactorily nails Turner's lies,' and showB fur therm?r? that the Government prose cuting officers were in league with Turner and his miserable allies to se cure convictions at any cost. Mr. Long's statement is as follows : To the Editor of the Carolina Spar lan: Sir-The letter which you pub lished from Claude C. Turner, of the 31st.of December, 1883, in which he uses my name, and . denies certain charge- against bim and others, pub lished in the News and Courier of the l4thof December last, calls for a short notice from me. I will try and give you some plain, bimple facts in reference to the matter. . Mr. Turner, on Saturday evening, after the jurors had been empanelled to try the Marion cases, and were locked up in the Court house, pro posed that we suould organize a de bating club, which we did, and elect ed juryman Julius Littlejohn, (color ed,), as chairman. Turner also re duced the subject to writing, which was as follows: "Whether pr not.l there was a juror .on the . panel with he intention of ^defeating the Gov ernment iu convicting the defendants ? And if so, what wuiild be the result, as there were the eyes of fifty mi li ions of people watching and waiting the verdict of this jury ?" Turner Jed off in the debate, and made a long speech, io which he stated tha? in order to establish a precedent we must necessarily find a verdict of guilty. It was the intention of the Govern ment officials to secure such a verdict as we all know. The other eight, whose names I will give vou, all ex pressed the same opinion. They are ?ts follows : Middleton Ray, ol Spar enburg; Fuller Pricket, ol Orange burg; J. H. Johnson, of Clarendon ; D. C. Wolf, of Lancaster ; E L. Ar thur, of Oran ge burg ; Julius Little john, colored, of Greenville; Joseph Bush, colorea, of Georgetown ; G. W. Childs, colored, of Eigefield. I stated, a? juryman, that I intended to give the defendants a lair and impartial trial, and that if it was the intention of the Government to pack the jury and convict innocent men I was the wrong man ; so also did Mr. Grant of Chesterfinld^^^^J^HSmley, color .
