The Thieyei' Trials Commenced. j Cardoso, the wiorl honest man among (he Kadi ^ cal Thieves, has been on trial for his great hon esty, in Columbia the past week, and the follow is a small spcciinon of his peculinr transaction while Treasurer of this State. If such evidenc can be brought againt the "most honest' ma; of the party, what may we not expect when th transactions of Chamberlain, Patterson, Carps? x ttt, Corbin and other notorftus ^bTitftacf^ft af investigated before a Court of Justice? Columbia, S. -C., Nov. 8.?The testimony ii the Cardozo trial was finished late this eveniug The defendant was rigidly cross examined thi morning, and among other things testified tha Hardy Solomon had offered him a bribe of fiv thousand dollars, when visiting his private el fico, about the fraudulent claims, amounting t pzO.OUO dollars. Solomon contradicted tin statement and nllcdged that he had given Car dozo three or four thousand dollars, as part o the fraudulent ?lau*s,? substituted in the trans action. Solomon's casTiior, *Zcaly, testified, tha v when he presented the claims, Cardozo's, to clerl and demanded pay, Cardozo told the clerk t K,->> T pay the demand, it was none of his business. Zealy is a respectable Democrat, and his evi dence on this point is damaging to the^iefen > <dant. ?Cou1isel for defendant subsequet^jr ad snitted tjie substitution of fraudulent ctaims.Argument of counsel will be given Monday. * -' , The jury is kept together and guarded ever ^ night.
