Although politically opposed to the

Hut- we owe it to our fellow citizens to
say right here that the municipal ad
ministration which at first promised so
well has been rapidly growing weaker
and weaker until it seems now to amount
to nn ubeoluto mm entity. There doesn't
seem to bean inch of buok bono iu tho
Whole Council. Not ono stop havo they

anything liko cnorpy or independence.
Important enterprises havo been
neglected, the streets are in a condition
that is positively disgraceful, and, in
faot, there is hardly anything in the
Town to show that we have a Council,
save the record of their occassional

of small fines against' petty offenders

Tho News tfc Courier is severe ou
"Lieut. Col. Merrill, the Suuth Caro
liua Ku Klux catcher," winding up its
bilious diatribe with the assertion that
"no other officer of tho United Stales
army who has been stationed in South
Carolina, Gen. Sickles not excepted,
eujoys the unenviable reputation which
scicks to Col. Merrill."
Well, perhaps it was not iu the best
taste for an officer of the regular army
to accept [extra pny for services which
under ordinary circumstances would
have boon more properly performed by
a United States Marshal and a hangman
?but if any services ever doservod pay.
and good pay at that, they were pre
cisely those rendered by tho "Ku Klux
catcher," Col. Merrill.
And the loss the News iD Courier or
any other Democratic paper says about
the Ku Klux, In the way of apology or
excuse for that band of murderers, or of
condemnation of those who caught
them, the better it will be for the honest,
men in this State of both partieB. That
same damnable KuKluxism has stood in
the way of reform long enough, nnd if
the Republicans can afford to forget
their sufferings it is a dirty nnd a bad
job for the News ? Courier to open
their wouuds afresh.
We shall gladly wcloome all fair men
who accept the Republican faith (even
though some of them may prefer t ?
work under another name) in the ofTort
to bring about a belter condition of
things iu South Carolina. But th.it
detestable corpse Ku Kluxism must bo
kept rjuiet.
Better that the ship of State should
be wrecked in mid-ocean than that sho
should ever be steerod or manned by
any of those who have even the faintest
whisper to breatho in favor of tho Ku

The Illegal ,lfury at Kings* roe.
The legal point involved iu the re
ceut jury question at Kingstrco is so
important and interesting to tho profes
Bton throughout tl o State, that I ap
prebend it would be interesting to state
the facts more fully than ha* been done.
The jury law provides that "there shall
be appointed by the Governor, and con
firmed by the Senate, one officer*for
each county in tho State, to be named
oad designated a jury commissioner,
who, with the county auditor and chair
man of the board of county commission
ers, shall constitute a board of jury
commissioners for tho county." Also
that "the board of jury commissioners of
each county shall oneo in every year,
during tho month of January, prepare a
list of such inhabitants of their re
spective counties, n.?t absolutely exempt
as they may think well qualified to servs
as jurors, being persons of good moral
characer, of sound judgement, and free
from all legal oxecpti >ns," &c. In tho
County of W illiatnsburg, during the
month of January last, when the jury
li.-t was prepared, the officrs of jury
commissioner and county auditor were
held by one and tho came individual,
so that thcto were but himself, holding
these two offices, and the chairman of
the county commissioners to prepare tho
list and draw the jury for the late tonn
of court. After a motion and a learn
ed argument thoreou by Mr. Dozier, of
Georgetown, Judge Green heidthat the
act of preparing the list of such person
as were qualified to serve as jurymou,
as contradistinguished from a ministerial
act, was a judicial act and required uot
only a majority, but the presenco and
concurring judgement of every designa
te! member of ti e board; that if two
could perform the required service as a
board, it would only bo necessary to go
one step further and hold that the Gov
ernor might appoint tho chairmai
of the county commissioner? to be the
jury commissioner and county auditor,
and thus this ono mau would bo the
board, and perform all the duties roquir
ed, He held that thcro was a consider
able and Jmportr. nt difference between
the act of preparing the list, which is
judicial, a? stated, and tho ministerial
act of drawing the jury after tho list is
prepared. In tho latter case he intima
ted that ho would hold that a mnjority
of the boaid was sufficient, whilo in the
] former he did not hesitate to hold that a
'jury list, proparcd by any less than three
separatio, distinct persons, w is wholly
illegalX Tho result was not a case civil
or criminal, wn*ttricd, though the jail is
prcttymigh full of-prisoners. And tho
worst <|f it is, no othor jury can be drawn
during tho prescut yoar, for, according
to thjp existing luw, the list must bo
I prepared in the month of January; and
that month is past. The only romcdy is
odditi?nal legislation As tho Legisla
ture isstill in session, it is to bo hoped
they wjill seo tho importance of at once

Ho w;iB engaged to be married to a

ardor of bis affections, bad motu a
number of presents. Two or throe weeks
since the young lady died, after a lew
days' ullne?s, and the grief of the sadly
Bt rick en suitor wub very sad to contem
plate. Everything that "had belonged
to her was very dear to him, rendered
doubly so by her untimely taking off.
He prized t?h* few .tributes he had given
her to such a degree that he couldn't
think for a moment of leaving them
with her family. He catnc with a b >x
before the funeral occurre 1, oollo JteU
them carefully, nailed them up and
forwarded them by express to his h ?tue.
The sister of the deceased "expresse! a
desire that sho might bo allowed to re
tain some small souvenir, and the dis
consolate lover suggested tint perhaps
sho would like a muff. If ho, he was
read}* to soil it. Ho wouldn't be mean ;
it tost him $15, hud; "seeing it was
her," she might have it for $10. She
produced the money, took the muff, and
the lover, aftur the fun-rai ocremouy,
departed, doubtlc-s to bettov the pre

object of affection, providing, of course,
that they are to revert to htm in case
