There doesn't seem to bean iuchof bttok bone in tho whole Counoil. Not ono step havo they taken that has been characterized by anything like enorpy or independence. Important enterprises havo been neglected, the streets are in a condition that is positively disgraceful, nnd, in faot, there ' is hardly anything in the Town to show that we have a Council, save the record of their occasional meetings and the entries in thoir books of small fines against' potty offenders ?gainst tho pesce sad dignity of the W?rg. We have nothing extenuated and naught set down in malice.

Tho Actes it Courier is severe on "Lieut. Col. Merrill, tho South Caro liua Ku-Klux catcher," winding up its bilious diatribe with the assertion that "ne other officer of tho United States army who has been stationed in South Carolina, Gcu. Sickles not excepted, enjoys tho unenviable reputation which sticks to Col. Merrill." Well, perhaps it was not in tho best taste for an officer of the regular urmy to accept ]e>:tra pay for scrvicoB which under ordinary circumstances would have been more properly performed by a United Slates Marshal aud a hangman ?but if any services over 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 <0 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, tho better it will be for the honest. men in this State of both parties. That same damnablo KuKluxism has stood in the way of reform long enough, and if the Republicans can afford to forgot their sufferings it is a dirty nud a bad job for the News it* Courier to open their wouuds afresh. Wc shall gladly welcome all fair men who accept the Republican faith (even though some of them may prefer to work uuder another name) in the effort to bring about a better condition of things in South Carolina. But thai detestable corpse Ku Kluxism must bo kept quiet.

The legal point involved in the re ceut jurj* question at Kingstrce is so important and interesting to tho profes eion throughout the State, that I ap prehend it Would be interesting to state the facts more fully than has been done. The jury law provides that "thcra shall be appointed by the Governor, and con firmed by the Senate, one officer*for each county iu tho State, to be named and 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 the county." Also that "the board of jury commissioners of each county shall once in every year, during tho month of .January, prepare a lilt 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 except! ms," ?fco. In tho County of Williamsburg, during the month of January last, when the jury list was prepared, the officrs of jury commissioner and county auditor were hold by one and tho eamo individual, so that theco were but himself, holding these two offices, aud the chairman of the county commissioners to prepare the list and draw tho jury for the late term of court. After a motion and a learn ed argument thoreou by Mr. Dozier, of Georgetown, Judge (Ireen heidthat the act of preparing the list of such person as were qualified to serve as jurymen, as contradistinguished from a ministerial act, was a judicial act and required uot only a majority, but tho presence and concurring judgement of every designa te! member of tie 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 tho Gov ernor might appoint the chnirmnt of the county commissioner^ to be the jury commissioner and county auditor, and thus this one man would bo the board, and perform all the duties requir ed, He held that there was a consider able and {important diffierence between tho act of preparing the list, which is judicial, as stated, und tho ministerial act of drawing the jury after tho list is prepnrcd. In the latter ease ho intima ted that ho would hold that a majority of the boaid was sufficient, while in tho former he did not hesitate to hold that a jury list, prepared by auv loss than three protty^jigh full of prisonjm. Ami tho worst <4f it is, Qo other jury can be drawn during] the preseut yoar, for, aocordiug to thjp existing low, the list must bo prepared in tho month of January; and that nwnth in past.

In a short time after putting on the garment a peculinr erup tiou of on irritating nature appeared on the body covered by the cloth. Tho effects wore not merely local, but ton considerable extent constitutional, pain and tineasiuess being experienced in tho back and lower extremities. In proof that tho eruption was causod by the dye colors, it may bo stated that a portion ot the. garment about tho upper part of the chest was lined with linen on the under side, and whenever this came in contnot with the skin no erup j tion for redness oceurrod. It is uot proba ble, the Journal remarks, that the num ber of persous is large who possess such idiosynoracies of constitution as to bo easily poisoned by dye colors, but that there arc some does not admit of a doubt.
