Although politically opposed to tho
present Town Council we greeted their
accession to offico with as much cordial

Hut- we owe it to our fellow citizens to
say r>ght here that the municipal ad
ministration which nt first promised so
well haft boon rapidly growing weaker
aud weaker until it seems now toamouut
to an absolute nort entity. There doesn't
seem to bean iuchof bttok bone in tho

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. We ore
sorry to hare to write as we do, und in

desire for tho good of our beautiful and j
prosperous Town, for whoso interosts we
shall evor speak out boldly, without fear

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

The Illegal Jury ut K.iiig*tree.
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. Tho only romedy is
