Scraps and Jacts. Two highwaymen were hanged at Pittaburg, Penn., last Thursday. A bill haa been introduced in the Ohio Legislature taxing church property. Plum and peach trees were blooming in Butts county, Georgia, last week. The value of cotton lost last year for want of picking is estimated to be over $5,000. Richard Coke has been nominated for Governor and R. B. Hubbard LieutenantGovernor of Texas. The Agricultural Fair of the colored population, held in Wilmington, N.

If there is a past in which men have done ill, let them have hope, for there is a future in which they may do well. The Legislature of Mississippi is in session and bids fair to meet all promises of reform made in the last canvass. Lamar will probably be elected U. S. Senator. The general amnesty bill now before Congress, is opposed by several Republican members because it makes Jefferson Davis eligible to a seat in Congress. Ex-Governer Brownlow, of Tennessee, says Governor Ames, of Mississippi, "knows about as little of the temper and wants of his constituents as a mule does of mathematics." ? Mr. W. C.

Trying to do business without advertising, is like winking at a pretty girl in the dark; you may know what you are doing, but nobody else does. The Hon. A. H. Stephens continues in very feeble state of health from disease in one of his lungs. It is thought he will not be able to take his seat in Congress during the present session. The desertions from the United States army during the years 1867 and 1868 exceeded 10,000 men a year, or on the average, two out of every seven enlisted. An Indiana gentleman buried one wife on Tuesday, married another on Thursday, was divorced on Saturday, and wants to know if a bigger week's work was ever performed by one man before the panic. The Republican State Convention of Missouri has nominated P. C. Cheney for Governor and W. A Pierce for .railroad commissioner, and has re-affirmed an unyielding opposition to the third term. The happiest moments in a woman's life are when she is makine her weddine ear nients; the saddest when her husband comes home late at night and yells to her from the front step to throw him out some key-holes, assorted sizes. Among the bills recently introduced into the Ohio Legislature, is one making forcible entry into corn cribs and poultry yards burglary; and one requesting Gen. Grant to dismiss his relations and appoint Union soldiers in their places. Chili leads off among the nations for woman suffrage, the question of the registration of women for voting at the coming Presidental election having been decided favorably, and a large number of the gentler sex, it is said, will avail themselves of the opportunity to exercise their right.

Young Joe is described as broad shouldered, good looking, and forty-three. He is opposed to polygamy, but says the Mormoos of Utah will not give it up without a fight. The farmers in the cotton-growing section of the State of North Carolina are contracting with laborers for the year. The price generally adopted is $8 per month for the first three months; then $10 per month until the crop is laid by, which is about the first of August, when the hands will have the privilege of picking by the hundred. The annual statement of the business of Richmond, Va., for the year 1875, shows an increase in the products of its manufactures of $6,042,514 as compared with 1874. Its commerce has also increased, and it boasts of both a larger number of vessels and of greater amount of tonnage?the latter by about thirty per cent. This is what the Pittsburg Presbyterian thinks about it: "If the Republican party, under the leadership of Grant, or any other man, proposes to enter a campaign on the platform of taxing Christian churches out of existence, and heathenizing our public schools, it will be buried under an avalanche hotter and heavier than ever rolled into the Alpine valleys." The Washington corrrespondent of the New York Herald says that among the Dem x_ .i*4L.

A New York letter says the feeling among the Republican leaders there, so far as can be gathered from conversations at the clubs, is decidedly in favor of having the National Nominating Convention assemble in Philadelphia this year; and there is reason to believe a strong pressure has already been brought to bear upon the executive committee to that end. The Democratic National Executive Committee, there is hardly a doubt, will be led to make the same choice. The Delaware and Bound Brook railroad, last week, claimed the right to cross the track of the Pennsylvania railroad near Hopewell, N. J., and took possession of the crossing, which act brought on a small railroad war. The Governor of New Jersey sent four companies of State troops, under command of a colonel, to prevent violence pending the chancellor's decision, which was rendered last Friday, giving both roads equal rights to the s?i*rkaci nor Tbe army of the United States consists, on paper, of 25,000 men. The estimate of the Secretary of War calls for 833,000,000 to maintain them. Germany spends for its army of 800,000 men, furnished with everything in the most complete manner, 887,500,000. If the German army were as expensive as the American, tbe annual amount to be paid would be raised to 81,056,000,000. If the American government were as economical as the German government, the cost of keeping the American army would be 8275,000. ? The Greensboro Patriot relates the following turkey story: "Oliver Hobbs is a great hunter, but sometimes he tells some pretty tough stories. The following he vouches for as true. A few weeks before Christmas he was out turkey hunting when he heard a turkey call. He hid hhnself and answered? when three turkeys made their appearance. He shot and killed the largest male, which jumped around considerably. The two remaining turkeys thinking this old gobbler was prancing for a fight, made for him so vigorously that Hobbs re-loaded and shot again, killing both?bagging all three." The State seal of Indiana, which repre aent8 "a full grown buffalo bull deliberately rushing up to a granger, who is chopping down a tree at sun-rise," is not by any means the most remarkable of the devices employed for that purpose. Georgia offers something more astonishing in a picture of an absurd summer-house, supported by three pillars and guarded by a Continental soldier with weak legs ; and Kentucky actually presents a figure of Gen. Washington in the act of holding up an intoxicated friend, in order to keep him from falling against a book-case in the background. After this, California's device of Minerva, sitting on a stone, while a cinnamon bear nibbles her left leg, seems artistic and nice. ?0*fevitte inquirer. YORKVILLE, S.

Simons, member of the National Executive Committee for South Carolina, the State Democratic Central Executive Committee assembled in Columbia last Thursday evening. The following gentlemen were present: M. C. Bntler, of Edgefield, Chairman ; Thomas Y. Simons, M. P. O'Connor and F. \V. Dawson, of Charleston; S. P. Hamilton, of Chester; Samuel McGowan, of Abbeville; Johnson Hagood, of Barnwell, William Wallace, of Richland; W. S. Simpson, of Laurens; J. S. Richardson, of Sumter; and W. W. Sellers, of Marion. The committee, after a free and earnest interchange of opinion, fully recognizing the gravity of the situation, prepared an address to the people of the State, recommending the immediate and thorough organization of the Democratic voters of the State, as vital for the public welfare, aud preparatory to a State Convention to be held at a future date. In the address, which we shall publish next week, the committee sustain Governor Chamberlain in the stand he has taken in favor of honest government and incorrupt officials. THE YOICE OF THE STATE. Public meetings have been held in nearly every county of the State for the purpose of denouncing the action of the Legislature in electing Moses and Whipper to the judicial bench, and sustaining Governor Chamberlain in the stand he has taken for good govern ment and incorrupt officials. As showing the spirit by which the people are actuated, we make the following extracts from the proceedings of different meetings: In Edgefield the following resolutions were adopted: Resolved, That the recent action of the Legislature of South Carolina in the election of Whipper and Moses to the judicial bench is an outrage upon Christian civilization, aud an evident expression of a determined purpose to degrade the manhood and insult the virtue of our people. Resolved, That we have no hope but in the organization of the Democratic party in South Carolina, and that this meeting pledges itself to abide by the action of the executive committee of the Democratic party in South Carolina. The citizens of Horry county assembled in mass meeting, which was largely attended, on the 3rd instant, and adopted the following resolutions: 1. That we accord to Governor Chamberlain our highest meed of thanks and praise for the part he has taken, and for his efforts to stay the tide of evil which threatens to engulf the State, 2. That we will take such action as shall result in the overthrow and banishment of the faction which has so long ruled, robbed and degraded us. 3. That it is the duty of all the good citizens of this county, of all parties, races and colors, to organize for the purpose of such action. 4. That the chairman of this meeting do, within thirty days, appoint an executive committee of fifteen citizens, who shall thoroughly organize this county for the attainment of the ends proposed. The citizens of Williamsburg county adopted the following resolutions: absolved, mat as citizens 01 mis otaie we uu protest against the action of the General Assembly in electing as judges men so notoriously corrupt as W. J. Whipper and F. J. Moses, Jr., and avow our determination to resist it to the end. 2. That we protest against the continuance in office of legislators so regardless of duty, and so reckless of the character, the peace and' prosperity of the State, and we will use every effort to drive them from power. 3. That we cordially endorse the action of Governor Chamberlain in refusing to issue commissions as judges to W. J. Whipper and F. J. Moses, Jr., and pledge to him the support of this community in his efforts to secure to the people of the State a faithful administration of the law. 4. That to carry into effect the objects declared in the preamble and resolutions just adopted, the chairman of this meeting do, at his leisure, appoint an executive committee of five citizens in j each township in the county, who shall thorough- | ly organize this county for the attainment of the ends proposed. 5. That the chairman do forward a copy of the preamble and resolutions to Gov. Chamberlain. While the resolutions were under discussion, Representative William Scott asked to be permitted to make a few remarks, in the course of which he admitted the rascality of Moses and Whipper, but said he wanted to reform them by putting them on the bench at $3,500 a year. Just before the resolutions were put to the meeting, the question arose as to whether the Republicans would participate in the meeting. Swails came in, and having said that he looked upon the meeting as Democratic, retired himself, and every black man in the court-house followed him. The preamble and resolutions were then put to the meeting and unanimously adopted. The citizens of Britton's Neck township, Marion '.county, have held a meeting and passed resolutions thanking Governor Chamberlain for his action in the judicial election and pledging him their support. The meeting in Sumter, Moses' native town, was perhaps the most imposing demon> stration outside of Charleston yet made against the election, and in that meeting it was solemnly asserted that F. J. Moses, Jr., shall never sit as Judge. The following are I the proceedings of the meeting: President Fraser opened the meeting with a clear and explicit statement of the position and the issue. He was very forcible and l pointed, and declared it was one of the pur! poses of this meeting to announce to F. J. I Moses, Jr., that he shall never take his seat as I Judge in our Court House, unless placed there [ by Federal bayonets. E. W. Moise read the ' following preamble and resolutions, and spoke ; of them with great power and eloquence. Whereas, The Legislature has elected W. J. j Whipper and F. J. Moses, Jr., to serve as Judges j for the first and third circuits of the State; and whereas the Governor has refused to commission , them. Bo it resolved, 1. That this meeting denounces the action of' j the Legislature in this matter as ruinous to the ; people and destructive of good government. I 'J, That the people of .Sumter county cannot I submit their legal affaire to the judicial charge of F. J. Moses, Jr., a person who is generally regarded as being devoid of the necessary legal attainments, and who is also notoriously corrupt. 3. That we regard the action of the Governor in withholding commissions from these persons as patriotic, justifiable and right. 4. That Governor D. H. Chamberlain has illustrated by his conduct the noble ends which may be achieved by a stranger, who differs from many of us in matters of political faith, but who unites with good men of all views in measures of earnest reform; and this people will sustain him to the end. 5. That we condemn and abhor the action of those representatives of Sumter county who voted for the judicial iniquity, and we do solemnly declare them to be unworthy of the public confidence. 6. That a union of all men of all parties be formed for the purpose of hurling them from place or power. 7. That we regard Judge A. J. Shaw as being now duly in office for a term of four years from the date of his election, and this meeting demands that the franchise which he holds for the good of the people, be not surrendered by him without their consent. 8. That in the opinion of this meeting, the ju dicial election has brought us to a point beyond which endurance must cease to be a virtue. 9. That, invoking the blessing of Divine Providence upon our resolutions, we now appeal to all patriotic citizens, white or colored, of all shades of political opinion, to assist us in an effort to restore good government to the State, by securing to afi persons their full legal rights of person and property, wjthont infringing the sacred rights of others, and especially do we appeal to and rely upon the aid ana assistance of those leading men of the country who control the national parties, in this last struggle against degradation and disgrace. J. S. Richardson seconded the preamble ""'1 wionlntlnnii in o VOTV oflfpcMvft flllfiPPh. aim icouiuuuua in w ? v?j vmw? . ? ? , pronounced with all the grace and oratorical finish of one of the best speakers in the State. Chas. H. Moise supported them in an earnest address, in which he demonstrated the absolute impossjbility of any legal proceeding which could reach Governor Chamberlain. He quoted decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States from 1801 to this time, showing that no court in the whole country could compel Governor Chamberlain to issue the commissions to Moses and Whipper. He closed his remarks with these words: "Should F. J. Moses, Jr., by any legpl trickery attempt to ascend the steps of the Court House to take his seat as Judge, I, Charles H. Moise, forty-six years of age, with a wife and ten children to support, am ready to unite with a band of determined men, ana, with muskets on our shoulders, defend that temple of justice from such a desecration." James D. Blanding followed in a patriotic speech, pledging himself to exhaust all peaceful means to prevent Moses from sitting as Judge, and, failing that, then to resort to force if necessary. The preamble and resolutions were then unanimously adopted, aud the meeting adjourned to sale day in February, when the people of Sumter will enter upon a thorough organization. PROCEEDINGS*OF CONGRESS. Congress re-assembled on the 5th instant. In the House, matters concerning banking, currency and resumption of specie payments Uanlra xvmvtl VofoT*T*nfl f/\ til A OATO* \jy uauuuai uautva^ rrwv iwvttuu w VW.M mittee on banking and currency. Among the bills introduced was one to repeal the bankruptcy act, and one to makeprisoners on trial before United States courts competent witnesses. Resolutions were offered by Republican members, in effect declaring it to be the sentiment of the House that those who fought as soldiers in the Union array should have public employment in preference to those who fought for the Confederacy. When the resolutions were read, Mr. Wood, of New York, remarked that this was the Centennial year?a year in which all past dissensions, difficulties and controversies should be forgotten, and moved to refer the resolutions to the committee on the Centennial celebration, which was agreed to. Mr. .Harrison, of Illinois, then offered the following resolution: That in the distribution of the patronage of the House of Representatives and of the Government, generally, those duly elected and who by law have the appointment of subordinates, should regard the Jeffersonian test, "Is he honest? is he faithful? is he capable?" and that recent events in the Federal Administration give peculiar strength to this Demoorotio npntinifint-.. Adonted amidst lauehter. In the Senate, Mr. Morrill, of Vermont, introduced a bill to further provide for the redemption of United States legal tender notes in accordance with existing law. Ordered to be printed and lie on the table. In the Hous6, on the 6th, Mr. New, of Indiana, offered a resolution declaring that the fraternal feeling and good will now existing in all sections of the country and the manifest disposition and purpose of the men who battled against each other in the late civil war to join hands as one people in the future, is a most auspicious ushering in of the Centennial year, and that while the people are making an honest effort to live together in peace and to uphold the same flag of an undivided country, their representatives in Congress should do no act which would necessarily disturb the patriotic concord now existing and increasing, nor wantonly revive the bitter memories of the past. He insisted on having the vote taken by yeas and nays, and it was cr> token nnd resulted in the reso awwiuiugij ov - ? tion being unanimously adopted. Yeas, 198; nays, none. A bill taxing sales of bonds and stocks and reducing tax on tobacco for the relief of tobacco growers, and defining tax on malt liquors, was referred. A resolution declaring it the opinion of the House that the contraction of the currency in the manner and to the extent that it has been done, has been detrimental to the business of the country, and that no farther contraction ought to be had, was referred to the committee of ways and means. Mr. Blaine offered the following as a substitute for Mr. Randall's amnesty bill, which was read and ordered to be printed: That all persons now under disabilities imposed by the fourteenth amendment to the Constitution of the United States, with the exception of Jefferson Davis, late President of the so-called Confederate States, shall be relieved of such disabilities upon their appearing before any Judge of an United States Court and taking* and subscribing in open court to the following oath to be duly attested and recorded, viz.: "I A. B., do solemnly swear or affirm that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, ' * ? A?. 1 /t? r?nunnoA nf witnout any meniai reservauuu ui jjuijjuo& evasion, and that to the best of my knowledge and ability I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of a citizen of the United States." The House then adjourned until Monday. In the Senate a lengthy debate ensued over Morrill's finance bill. The bill was finally referred to the committee on finance, which ends it for the present. In the Senate, on the 7th, Mr. Gordon presented the petition of General Stephen D. Lee, of Mississippi, for the removal of his political disabilities. A memorial from the Arkansas Legislature asking the refunding of the cotton tax, and a memorial from the Grocers' Association, of Atlanta, Georgia, against the restoration of duty on tea and coffee, were also presented. The Senate went into executive session and then adjourned until Monday. ? At a recent meeting of the County Commissioners of Marion they raised the price of license to sell whisky to 8250. In Horry the Commissioners have given notice that after the 1st of January they will refuse to grant a license at any price. I LOCAL AFFAIRS. . i NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. T. W.

We feel assured that the i Yorkville Female Institute, under Mr. Jones' ' management, will be in able hands, and we Bpeak for him that encouragement which the ' enterprise deserves. i PACIFIC GUANO. * The attention of our readers is called to ' the advertisement in another column of "The ! Soluble Pacific Guano Company," for which " T. M. Dobson & Co. are agents. This Com- 1 pany has a paid up capital of one million ' dollars, and hence cannot afford to jeopardize ) their interests by making a poor article, which is one of the best guarantees our farmers can 1 have. This old and reliable Company is too well known to require any extended notice 1 at our hands. FATAL ACCIDENTS. ( Mr. B. R. Miller, a worthy and respected citizen of Bethel township, in this county, at- , tempting to tighten a key of the master-wheel of the horse-power attached to bis cotton-gin, < while it was in motion, on Wednesday of last week, became entangled in the gearing of the band-wheel and an arm of the master-wheel, which drew the lower portion of his body . through a space of only three inches, crush- , ing it in a fearful manner, from the effects of which he died in forty-eight hours after being hurt. Mr. Miller was one of our most energetic citizens, and at the time of the unfortunate occurrence was in the prime of his life. On last Thursday, at the plantation of Mr. . D. T. Partlow, near Wright's Ferry in this ' county, a colored boy named Jeff Dixon, met with almost a similar accident, which was lib-amiaa fata] in its rASIllt.fi Hfi ftttemnted tO correct some derangement in the parts of the horse-power of a cotton-gin, while the machinery was in motion, and was crushed between two wheels, killing him almost in- 1 stantly.

Mackey pre- ( siding, convened at 12 o'clock last Monday. The following grand jury was empanelled to 1 serve during the present year: While.?James E. Smith, Foreman ; John k R.

Whitesides. Color ed?William Crawford, Jbristoe uaviason, Jesse Johnson. The charge of his Honor to the grand jury was quite brief, containing only instructions in a general way as to their duties as the grand inquest of the county. The following petit jurors were empanelled to serve during the present term : Jury No. 1.? White.?J. H. Barry, Foreman ; W.J. Anderson, E. G. Culp, James Dillingham, W. D. Gaston, J. H. Hood, Jas.

A. H. Wilson, C. S. Wilson, Wm. W. White, W. H. Warlick, T. P. Whitesides. Colored.?Prince McKinney, Walker Steele. Prince McKinney was appointed foreman of Jury No. 2. Supernumerary Juror?Wm. S. Wilkerson. The 6rst case tried was an appeal from a trial justice's court?the State w. Reuben 3oins, colored, charged with assault and battery. When this case was called, his Honor remarked aoito voce that he feared this community is becoming badly demoralised when to distinguished a citizen as Reuben Goins was to be arraigned in the court-house for assault ind battery. The evidence went to show that Reuben and Jingo Crawford and his three ions had a dispute in town one day in the month of last October, and as there seemed to l>e no other mode of settling the difficulty ex2ept by resorting to blows, they decided to retire outside the corporate limits of the town, 'where the law would not interfere with them," and let the fate of the issue be the fi ? J Qai arbitrament, a scrimmage ensuea, in which Jingo, it appears, resorted to the strategy of "butting" Reuben ; but his head came in contact with Reuben's teeth and Jingo 3aved, when the other combatants were separated, but only to answer before trial justice Wagoner. 'Squire Wagoner decreed that one'of* Jingo's sous should go to jail five jays or pay a fine, and that Reuben should pay a fine or go to prison for a like period. To this Reuben demurred and appealed to mother forum. Reuben took the witnessstand in his usual tragic style, and made out i very good case for himself; but to the question by the Court, he could not answer positively how often, whether six times or ten times, during the past three years, he had been arraigned in that Court for various misdemeanors ; nor after permission was granted by the Court, could he sufficiently tax his ingenuity as to conuect the present difficulty with the grave which Reuben alleged his enemies jigged for him last summer. But he asked permission to enlighten the Court on one sub ject, and that was that oo his former trial before'Squire Wagoner, that dispenser of justice, the retail dealer in the article, tampered with the jury, visiting them twice after they had retired to make up their verdict. This created the sensation that Reuben desired, and his Honor at once summoned trial justice Wagoner in his presence. That public functionary promptly appeared, and stated that be conferred with the jury twice, at their request, giving them legal instructions, but utterly denying that he "tampered" with the jury. The statement was substantiated by two of the jorymen, and the case resuming itt normal condition, after being instructed by the Court as to what constitutes an assault, the jury retired, and soon returned with a verdict of guilty. Reuben was then sentenced to pay a fine of 85 and the costs of the prosecution, Jor go to jail for thirty days. He is now ruminating in solitude upon the glorious uncertainties of the law, and wondering how it is that the present Court sees through largei spectacles than did the Court below.

J nnnj fkn yOOOnfmn tVkO WUiVll C10|/OCU UOV rtwu cuvs a vw|/imv/u w* vuv i news of the election and of his departure from j Washington was so short as to have allowed c him no time nor opportunity for conversing with any of the Cabinet upon the situation i there; but that in the course of a casual con, venation with President Grant himself, which lasted but a few moments, the President took occasion to express his opinion concerning the election of Moses and Whipper in the most emphatic terms, his remarks being more pari ticularly directed to that of Moses, as he said he "knew nothing of Whipper, while Moses was known to the entire country." In regard ( to the latter, he remarked that he "was astonished that a man who had made himself so notorious before the whole country should have been elected to any office whatsoever in South Carolina1" After a few moments of silence, the President then asked, "What can i be done in the matter?what can the Legis( lature do towards undoing its own action ?" Mr. Robertson replied that he "was unable to answer the question," and the interview with the President closed. Outside the White 1 House, however, Mr. Robertson "states, "the i subject was discussed on all sides, and soraei what more at length?the President's views I being shared and the same opinion expressed by every decent man with whom he" convere< ' - -* ? / T 1_ ( ea, irrespective 01 parcy. jii repiy wj mjr request that he would state what opinions were ' expressed at the same time in reference to the action of Governor Chamberlain in refusing ' to issue commissions to Moses and Whipper, i Mr. Robertson said that the Governor's action was not known in Washington at the time of his departure, and consequently he had no 1 conversation and heard no opinion expressed ' upon the subject Reporter. What, Mr. Robertson, is your opinion in regard to his election ? Mr. Robertson. "I am satisfied that the , election of Moses and Whipper has done more | injury to the Republican party, both in the State and out of it, than anything they have 1 done since Reconstruction." Reporter. "And what, sir, is your opinion , as to the validity of the Governor's action in , the matter ?" I Mr. Robertson. "That is a purely legal question, I suppose, and must be settled in a legal way; I have no opinion which would be of any weight in relation thereto." Reporter.

Mr. Robertson smiled so sweetly in reply to this question, that your reporter regretted ever 1 having asked it, and soon afterward took his 1 leave. 1 J Correspondence of the Yorkviile Enquirer. 1 ? i LMAI,B mtnrnreBTWh ?1 Chester, Jan. 10,1878. < Reference was made in my last correspondence to the proceedings of the Court on Monday. On Tuesday, the case of the State vs. C. T. Minus, Spencer Cook, W. D. Barnes, J. E. Cook, white, and David Cornwell, George Hooper, Lawson ] ; Sims, George Crawford and George Bawls, colored, charged with riot, was called, and the trial ( began, consuming almost the entire day. The < , prosecuting witness was Mr. J. B. Stokes, who , alleged that on the night of the 18th of November, the defendants, while passing by on the pub- { lie road, stopped at his premises, and abused and I threatened him in a violent manner. So great was the terror excited by them, that Mr. Stokes barred bis door to prevent their entrance. The counsel for the State, A. M. Mackey, Esq., en1 deavored to establish these facts by testimony; but unfortunately for the State, it was shown that one of the witnesses had been offered a certain ' i amount of money to make a certain statement, c which, of course, weakened the case greatly. S. J. Couch, Esq., counsel for the defendants, ' endeavored to rebut the allegation of his clients ? ".tin a ritanrriArlv and riotous manner nt>on 1 Mr. fltokes' premises. Mr. C. T. Minus, the . i prominent witness for the defence, swore that he , stopped to see Mr. Stokes in reference to some -I ' objectionable language that he had heard that he t (Mr. Stokes) had used concerning him (Mr. Mi- 4 nus); that he only desired an explanation of the ' offensive remark, and intended no harm to Mr. ' Stokes. The counsel for the defendants also en- ( deavored to establish by testimony, that only two of the defendants. Spenoer Cook and W. D. Barnes, followed Minns to Stokes' house; the others remaining at the gate. The oounsel for the State, in making bis argn- ; ment, asked of the jury a verdict of acquittal in favor of Lawson Sims, as he expressed his intention of taking no part in the affair ; but that the ( other defendants, while only two or three had acted a prominent part, had, by their presence c and by expressing no manner of disapprobation. . approved of the riotous proceedings, and shonld | therefore, he said, be convicted. c The Judge, in nis charge, instructed the jury upon the elements constituting a riot, and in- 4 formed them that a conviction of the defendants p must rest, not simply upon their presence, bat upon words spoken and acts committed by them Ar while at the noose and gate of the prosecuting/10, witness. Ff The jnn% after a brief consultation, rendered' l& verdict or "not guilty." This case has excited' 29considerable amount of publie interest, and* stating the main points of the trial, I have*' deavored to give a just and impartial accounf The Court re-assembled at the usual ho*00 Wednesday morning, and consumed a short''?? ?n in the disposition of cases connected with A*5*5* et No. 6.

The main ftu#In ??n- St nection with this foul and cruel deed f*6 fdven St in my last correspondence. As was stated, Ai the affair occurred at a dance, in tb*riclnifcy of Blackstocks. The testimony of w#868868 who were pfeeent at the time of the ua*>tiuna^ occurrence, pointed, with unerring to the = guilt of the defendant. It was she*11 that? afler making a disturbance, he left wtf* the promise that he would go home; but ins*** ?t doing this, _ he obtained a knife, and gaining'e-admi88'on to ~ the dance room, gave the fatal W?w? which resulted in the death of George Mer<*r- Th0 counsel for the defendant, C.

Brioe, #*<! reIied uP?n the insufficiency of the State'', evidence to prove tb the charge of murder, and80*18'116^ P?8'don as with as good an argument 88 the case admitted. fQ The Jndge charged the Jury ?n the law points th bearing upon the case aud then they retired to make up their verdict. Tbey deliberated for a time over the matter and after returning to their A seats announced their verdict to be that of th "guilty." fo The grand jury printed true bills against , William Gore and John Lilly for keeping disor- f derly houses. ' , , , ,, , T The Court was engaged on Thursday in the trial L of the case of the State vs. Samuel Duffle, colored, ac charged with an assault and battery, with Intent ^ to commit a rape. The outrage was committed , several years ago, and though a warrant was issued at the time for his arrest, he has, until re- D( cently, successfully defeated every effort of the to authorities to effect his arrest. The State was bi represented by A. M. Mackey, Esq., assisted by " ? . * loofnn nn behalf of the A ""angsrB. rauermw w . proSetnujug witness, the mother of the child, who was the Victim of the defendant's diabolical villftiny. The defendant was represented by J. J. d< Hemphill, Esq. A good portion of the day was consumed in taking testimony, which was, in a _ great measu re, of such a character as does not ad- p tnit of publication. The testimony was sufficiently strong to convince any unprejudiced person of the guilt of the accused.' Still the jury, moved by conflicting feelings and prejudices, were incapable of arriving at any agreement in their verdiet# After a brief adjournment the Court re-assembled at 7 o'clock, Thursday evening, for the purpose of trying the case of the State vs. B. G. Cannon, William Davis and Wesley Bailey, all colored, charged with gambling. The offence took place on the night of the 21st nltiino in Lilly's bar-room, and the unfortunate victim was P' | Henry Worthy, colored. The fact was proven, I beyond the shadow of a doubt, that after reoeiv- a* I ing $32 from his employer, he entered the bar- w room already nainfcd, and while there, becoming ? | engaged in gambling with the defendants, lost the gi entire amount. S. J. Couch, Esq., endeavored to establish that one of the defendants, B. G. ? Cannon, was too conscientious to indulge in the evil practice of gambling; but the contrary waa Ully proven by very positive testimony. Wesev Bailey was defended by Gen. W. A. Walker, vno managed the case as well as its weakness adnitted; but his efforts were unavailing, as all the lefendants were found guilty of the charge wrought against them. On Friday the Court met at the usual hour, vhen the case of the State vs. John Lilly, charged vith keeping a disorderly house, was called, and be trial began and proceeded until a late hour in he afternoon. The State was represented by the icting solicitor, A. M. Mackey, Esq.; the defendin t by T. C. Gaston, Esq. Tne testimony of persons living in the immediate vicinity of the house n question was taken, and. while it did not esablish the fact of the prevalence of good oitferln ind around the house, still 1 am uot prepared to ay that it was strong enough to prove the house o be a public nuisance. The Jury, in consulting iver the case, did not agree in their verdict, ana t was declared a mistrial. In the afternoon, upon the re-aSsembllnft of the /ourt, the prisoners, who had been oouyicted duing the week, of their respective crimes, were irought into the court room for the purpose of eceiving their sentenoe. ,< l( Jesse Crank, convicted of rape, upon standing ip as directed, was informed by the presiding udge of the horribleness of the crime he bad mmmltfoH nriH-t.hA ammviitinir fefttnres In hia mrticular cane. The sentence imposed was ten rears, at hard labor, In the State Penitentiary. Joe Gwin, convicted of grand larceny, was- reninded of his inveterate thieving propensities, ,nd was told that a severe lesson was needed to each him, and others who followed hir example, hat a dreadful punishment awaited those who levoted their lives to stealing. Hia sentence was mprisonment in the Penitentiary for a period of me year. ' B. G.
