MWtSM ?J? ' -LJf^M^PSSg V 11. -I 1_LI II? I Tor ibo Times. La. us Have Poaoo. 0 vs. 6 ALIUNDE BOND. The great assize is over and Bond & Corbin, ore 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 thelearned Chief Justice had any tbingto do with the opinions ef the sable Jurors. They wore not to be convinced?"a man convinced against his will, maintains the same opinion still."? Curtis the Benauda Juror was "fholle princeps" ef the dusky clan. lie spoke by the card? and all followed suit. A Jury composed of 6 colored, 0 white,?10 pronounced radicals to 2 democrats?looked like a safe game. Old Bond and Corbin ohuokled at it. They were happy, "bat a" the schemes of mice and men gang aft agley." When the white Radical* saw the animus of the negro, they became solid for the defence. The negroes openly declared that they were oontent to hold on for any length of lime at $8 per diem and better rations at Govern meat expense then they oeuld expect outside the Ceurt, end Judge Weite very wisely recog' nixed the strength of the position end dismissed ?the Jnry. It was Corbin's lest blow at the "chiT&Iry," end he spread himself with e gusto ; while lit tle Stone end Scalawag Eerie becked him to the utmost of their mean ability. These fellows bare the assurance to talk of social ostracism foramen's political opinions. Their political opinions are trifles, when weighed against their spile and renum and unblushing prostitution of their talents to.bese 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 net invited into polite circles? the old sinner 1 I notice that the Cincinnati Enquirer is hard down upon Chief Justice Waite for his rulings in the Ellenton trial. If it seemed hard that a man should be held unfit for a Juror because ho had beea a Confederate soldier, how does it look when this man Curtis, the head of the negro element on the Jury, belonged to the Union army, and was among the first to enlist in the service in Massachusetts, under a command organised to enter Virginia at Norfolk, then passing through Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina, rallying the negroes under their banner to carry fire and sword on their march f And Mr. Curtis is proud of it. The Excursion season is in fall blast and we i ( _ have exclusions to and from Columbia, Augusta 1 and othw'peints every, day or so, to say nothing of pio nice, (ilts and Seutsens. i?y me way, aid jau notice now savagely one of the Western excursion party pitched into the Charleetonians, for lack of courtesy f lie was not introduoed to the ladies ! The presenoe of , Charleston's fair daughters was not saffioient , compliment?inspiration?to the party. They wanted a personal introduction?a shake hands all round. They might or might not he agrees- 1 "V ble?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 intpiraiion to a mixed crowd among our own people, but when it contains individuals from I different sections of the States, holding very different opinions of propriety and disposed to < find fault, the difficulty seems almost insur- 1 inountable. On all such occasions a good deal < depends upon a few leading spirits among the 1 and 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 flood of sunshine, drove away every cloud. It is the gift of woman to instinctively know a gentleman, and no gentleman need over fear a rude repulse from a lady. In all exoursions the object of every body should bo 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 France, and who are mere renowned for their social attractiveness T Out xny pen has been unusually discursive on excursions. Let as give up fault-finding and have peace. " BOURBON. . m ? 19* In the Legislative proceedings of Tuesday the 6th, we find that Mr. Peake introduced a bill "to authorise the town of Union to raise money for certain purposes." What those certain purposes sre the report does not say, and M "dBl^s nam b#iB* "MuU ' among the citizens of the town to apply to the Legislature for "authority to raise money," we 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 Timt*." If that is the true "inwardness" of the bill, the people of the town can rest easy, for we assure them we will not sell for money raised from them in that way, nor will we accept one dollar so raised, fefr 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 friends before applying to jEthe Legislature fer authority to raise money to buy property of and for private individuals, parti*?lwljr ?neh property as may be removed out of the town and County when the, owners find another location that will be more advantageous .to them. When we advocated the taxing of the people to build the Spartanburg and Asheville railroad, we were assured by those who appeared to have . the managemement of the whole matter that a solemn agreement had been entered into with the / owners of the Spartanburg and Uslon Railroad ?to be ratified by bond, as soon as the people voted the subscription?that only fro rata charJ V - JL * m i<? wvum m uun on irw|Bi aiong me line 01 the latter road; bat we new learn that ne each agreement, waa Over made, tnooh leee consummated, and the people of Unlea are charged three Umee ee muoh ae Spartanharg for freight ever thai line. With that experience before ne w4 hall heritor be careful hew we advocate the taxtl^ 4*4^feople for the bulkUmgap of public IoetHIMf m mala 17 forwEt benefit ef private individuals. We meet had* dft about them, first, tSL rate. " | i? tt/T Am a specimen of hew the Badloal mem* here of the Legislators hare delayed the work ef that body, badgered and annoyed the democratic majority, we refor oar readers to an article on our first page, headed "Pilllbnetering in the I Senate," taken from the Charleston Jornnal of Commtrcf. And it baa been the same upon aiuiont every Important measure since the extra session commenced. For the Tlcies. Ms.. Z.J..OJL: 1 wish you wou'.d cs.Il the attention of all lovers of Tropical Plants to a very handsome Hot House Plant which Mr. Foster Simpson, of Laurens C. H., S. C., offers to any one who can appreciate the Beautiful. He says of the plant: "The Bloom is a beautiful straw color, center surrounded by pure white petals?it is a very rare plant. The soil suitable for growing it in perfection is a mixtwre Of' rich loam^&d a small quantity^ if ?>11 i mixed together. It is a very delicate plant, requires shade until well established. It will not grow from cuttings. Only a few plants to be given away. I have l>eeu appointed agent for distributing this handsome plant, but as I expect to be absent from homo the balanee of the year I thought it would be best to call attention to the plant and where it can bo obtained, gratis. HYACINTH E. m Albany News : A young farmer of Lee, Mr. J. T. Whit sett, has twenty-two acres in wheat, his urag crop.'' A north Georgia tnan 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 giro him about eighty barrels of flour. Allowing for the reaction to como in the present high price of flour, we will say it is worth ten dollars per barrel. This will give hint eight hundred dollars on twenty two acres, which is a ifllte better than if cotton ruled on that land. This needs uo anagraph ; we need suy nothing else. It is a right good index finger and you may point it ns 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 saying that Governor Tilden and his friend preferreda commission to the consequences which might follow Republican resistance 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 OontraotorH.
