Tor the Times. j Le. us Have Peaoa. 6 vs. 6 ALIUNDE BOND. The great assize is over and Bond & Corbin, are not happy. After all the buying up of affidavits, drilling witnesses, packing Juries and free use of money, the whole affair ended in 6 to 6, a strict color line from the beginning to end. Neither law or evidence, argument or charge of the learned Chief Justice had any thing to do with the opinions ef the sable Jurors. They wore not to be oonvinced?"a man convinced against his will, maintains the same opinion still."? Curtis the Benauda Juror was "fheile prlnceps" of the dusky clan. He spoke by the card? and all followed suit. A Jury composed of C colored, 6 white,?10 pronounced radicals to 2 demoorats?looked like a safe game. Old Bond and Corbin chuckled at it. They wore happy, "but a * the schemes of mice and men gang aft agley." When the white Radicalt saw the animus of the negro, they became solid for the defence. The negroes openly declared that they were content to hold on for any length of liuio at $3 per diem and better rations at Govern mom expense man mej couiu expect ouisiae the Court, and Judge Waite very wisely recognized the strength of the position and dismissed 'the Jury. It was Corbin's last bltw at the "chivalry," and he spread himself with a gusto ; while littie Stone and Scalawag Earle backed him to tho utmost of their mean ability. These fellows have the nssurance to talk of social ostracism for a man's political opitaions. Their political opinions are trifles, when weighed against their spite and venum and unblushing prostitution of their talents to.base purposes. Judge Bond had the impertinence to say that "these people were making fools of themselves about Hampton, and as much parade as if he was the Messiah?that Chamberlain was a far better man, and would have made a better Governor," and yet he complains that he is not invited into polite circles? the old sinner ! I notice that the Cincinnati Enquirer is hard down upon Chief Justice Waite for his rulings in the EUenton trial. If it seensed hard that a man should be held unfit for a Juror because ho had been a Confederate soldier, how does it look when this man Curtis, the head of the negro element en the Jury, belonged to the Union army, and was among the first to enlist in the sorvice in Massachusetts, under a command organized to enter Virginia at Norfolk, then passing through Virginia, North Carolina and 8outh Carolina, rallying the negroes under their banner to carry fire and sword on their inarch ? And Mr. Curtis is proud of it. The Excursion Beason is in fkll blast and we hare excursions to and from Columbia, Augusta W and other points every, day or so, to say nothing of pio nics, lilts and Seutxens. 13y the way, did you notice how savagely one of the Western excursion party pitched into the Charlestonians, for lack of courtesy ? lie was not introduood to the ladies ! The presence of Charleston's fair daughters was not ssfficient compliment?inspiration?to the party. They wanted a personal introduction?a shake hands all round. They might or might not We agreea, . blc?a good deal depends always upon one's ' standpoint. The complainant says if the Charleston gentlemen will send an excursion to Cincinnati, they will show them what true politeness and hospitality is. This is something new for Porkopolis. But to talk plainly about this matter: It is no easy matter to impart a social inspiration to a mixed crewd among our own people, but when it contains individuals from differeut sections of the States, holding very different opinions of propriety and disposed to find fault, the difficulty seems almost insurmountable. On all such occasions a good deal depends upon a few leading spirits among the ladies and gentlemen, who give the proper tone. When this is wanting everything 'drags on stiff aud formal. We have seen the whole temper of a large party changed in a few moments by the efforts of one or two individuals who, like a flr.,.,1 o..nol.:n? ,1......... ......... -.1 1 It is the gilt of woman to instinctively know u gentleman, and no gentleman need over fear a rude repulse from a lady In all excursions the object of every body should be to make every one pass their time pleasantly. While the parties are together all should appear as pleasant acquaintances, when they separate the acquaintance ends, That is the way they do in Franco, and who are more renowned for their Bocial attractiveness ? But my pen has been unusually discursive on excursions. Let ns give up fault-finding and have peace. * BOURBON. In the Legislative proceedings of Tuesday the 6th, we find that Mr. l'eake introduced a bill "to authorize the town of Union to raise money for certain purposes." What those certain purposes are the report does not say, and ns we%tve never beaq^CjUNMBove being made among the citizens of the town to apply to the Legislature for "authority to raise mouey," wo can suppose it is a secret move of some benevolent individuals to tax the people to raise money for the purchase or support ef the" Union Timet." If that is the truo "inwardness" of the bill, tho people of tho town can rest easy, for we assure tlieu we will not sell for money raised from them in that way, nor will wo accept one dollar so raised, for the support of the paper. We thank the patriotic gentlemen who interested themselves in behalf of the paper, but we could have saved them a little trouble if they had called on us and our frieuds before applying to j?the Legislature for authority to raise money to buy properly of and for privato individuals, particularly such property as may be removed out of the town and County when tho owners find another location that will be more advantageous ( A I liom When we advocated the taxing of the people to build the Spartanburg and Asheville railroad, twe were assured by those who appeared to have the manngemoinent of tho whole matter that a solemrt agreement had been entered into with the ownors of the Spartanburg and Union Railroad ?to be ratified by bond, as soon as the people voted the cubscription?that only pro rata charges would be made on freight along the line of the latter road; but we now learn that no such agreement, was ever made, much less consummated, and the people of Union are charged three times as much as Spartanburg for freight over that line. With that experience beforo us we shall hereafter be careful how we advocate the taxing of the>people for the building up ofpubW lie Institutions run mainly for ? benefit of private individuals. We must know all about ^ them, first, at any rate. ? BedT As n specimen of how the Radical members of the I.ogislaturo have delayed the work of that body, badgered and annoyed the democratic majority, we refer our readers to an article on our first pnge, headed "Fillibustering in the ,, Senate," tnkon from the Charleston Journal of Cuornerer. And it lifts been the same upon almost every !...povi;i.u measure s'.oie the ex: n A session commenced. 1 1--1 - 'J-l. . ? - -?! - -1??- =3?T For tlrj Tliuos. Mx. Zj..'oa : 1 wish you wou'.cl cull the attention of all lovers of Tropical Plants to a very handsome Hot House Plant which Mr. Foster Simpson, of Laureus C. II., S. C., offers te any one who can appreciate the Beautiful. He says of the plant: "The Bloom is a beauti- | ful straw color, conter surrounded by pure white petals?it is a very rare plant. The soil suitable for growing it in perfection is a mixtarO of' , rich loam and a small quantity- if u?I^JiwtflT: < mixed together. It is a very delicate plant, requires shade until well established. It will not 1 grow from cuttings. Only a few plants to be given away. i 1 have been appointed agent for distributing 1 this handsome plant, but as I expect to be absent from homo the balance of the year I thought it would be best to call attention to the plant and where it can bo obtained, gratis. HYACINTH E. Albany News : A young farmer of Lee, Mr. J. T. Whitsett, has twenty-two acres in wheat, his "brag crop.'* A north Georgia man alleges it will make twenty bushels to the acre, on an average, which will give him four hundred and forty bushels. Carried to the mill and ground, this will givo him about eighty barrels of flour. Allowing for the reaction to como in the present high price of flour, we will sav it is worth ten dollars per barrel. Tbis will give him eight hundred dollars on twenty two acres, which is a ifiitc better than if cotton ruled on that land. This needs uo anagraph ; we need say nothing else. It is a right good index linger and you may point it as you please. The New York Express pithily observed that the difference between the friends of Tilden and Hendricks in the United States and the friends of Governor Nicholls is very properly settled by styiug that Governor Tilden and his friend preferred a commission to the consequences which might follow Republican rcsistauce to right, while the people of Louisiana undertook to face the consequences, and were successful. The result teaches a lesson the fruits of which come too late for present use. To Oontraotorn. BIDS for Putting a new Heart-Pine Shingle Roof on Jail, Repairing to Sheeting and Rafters, will be received until the 2d Tuesday in July.
