Not ono step havo they taken thai has been characterized by [la-i tasui ')i nJ i/Q> ''? ; ? ; . . ? anything likq energy or independence.

Tho News cfc Conner is severe on ?'Lieut. Col. Merrill, tho South Caro liua Ku Klux catcher," winding up its bilious diatribe with the assertion that "no other ;officer, of tho United States army who has been stationed iu South Carolina, Gen. Sickles not exocpted, enjoys the unenviable reputation which sticks to Col. Morrill." Well, perhaps it was not in tho best taste for an officer of the regular army to accept 'extra pay for servicos which under ordinary circumstances would have beon nioro properly performed by a United States Marshal and a liangman ?but if nny services cvor doservod pay, nud good pay at that, they were pre cisely those rendered by the "Ku Klux catcher,". Col. Merrill. And the less the New* tfc 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 uud a bud job for the News d; Courier to open their wounds afresh. We shall gladly weloonie all fair men who accept the Republican faith (even though some of them may prefer to work under another name) in the effort to bring about a better condition of things in South Carolina. But that detestable corpse Ku Kluxistn must be kept quiet. Better that the ship of State should bo wrecked in mid-ocean than that she should over be steered or manned by any of those who have even the faintest whisper to breathe in favor of tho Ku Klux. .Let tho dead bury their dead?and henceforth let Honesty against pishou eBty be tho only issuo. The Illegal Jury at K In gat roe. The legal po int. involved in there ceut jury question at Kings tree is so important and interesting to tho profes sion throughout tlo State, that t ap prehend it tvould be interesting to state tho facts more fully than has beon done. Tho jury law provides that "there shall bo appointed by the Gcva'rnor, and con firmed by the Senate, one officer*for each county in tho Stato, to be named nad designated a jury commissioner, who, with the couuty auditor and chair man of the board of county o-iuimiseioo. ers, shall constitute a board of jury commissioners for the county." Also that ?'the board of jury commissioners of each county shall onec 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 exceptions," &c. Iu tho County of Williainsburg, during the month of January last, when the jury li;-t was prepared, the officrs of jury commissioner and county, auditor were hold by one and the eamo individual, ho that thccQ wore but himself, holding these two offices, and the chairman of the county commissioners to prepare the li.it and draw tho jury for the lato tonn of court. After a motion and a learn ed nrgutnent thoreou 5y Mr. Dozier, of Georgetown, Jud^o Green held that the act of preparing tho list of such person as were qualified to servo as jurytneu, as contradistinguished from a ministerial act, was a judicial act and required not only a majority, but tho presence and concurring judgement of every designa te! member of ti e board; that if two could perform the required sorvica as a board, it would only bo necessary to go one step further and hold that tho Gov ernor might appoint the chairmai of the county oommisoiouor^ to bo the jury commissioner and county auditor, and thus this one man would bo the hoard, and perform all tho duties requir ed, He held that there was a consider able and {important diffierenco between the aot of preparing the list, which is judicial, aj stated, and tho ministerial act of drawing the jury aftor tho list is prepared. In the latter caso he intima ted that ho would hold that a majority of the boa id was sufficient, while in the former he did not hesitate to hold that a jury list, proparcd by any less than three soperatl?, distinct porsons, vf?s wholly | illegal* The TCBult was not a case civil or criminal, was4tricd, though the jail is prctty-^igh full of prisoiurs. And tho worst <if it is, uo other jury canbo drawn during the present year, for, aocordiug to thp existing low, the list must bo prepared in tho month of January; and that month m pint.

Another strong incen tive is the avoidance of possible poison ing, resulting fr^m deleterious dyes The Journal of Chemistry gives an in stanco of tho poisonous effects of ani line colors upon the skin in the expe rience of a gentleman of liayfield. Ho had a few days previous purchased some new undershirts of cotton', colofed with various tints, among which aniline red predominated. In a short time after putting on the garment a peculiar crup tion of an irritating nature appeared on the body covered by the cloth. Tho effects woro not merely local, but to a considerable extent constitutional, pain and uneasiness being experienced in the baok and lower extremities. In proof that tho eruption waa causod by tho dye colors, it may bo stated that a portien ol tho garment about tho upper part of the chest was lined with linen on the under side, and whenevor this e.amo iu contact with the skin no erup tion for redness oocurred. It is not proba ble, tho Journal remarks, that tho num ber of persons is large who possess such idiosynoraoies of constitution as to be easily poisoned by dye colors, but that there arc some does not admit of a doubt.
