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."

three major-generals?Hancock, Schofield and
McDowell?and three of the brigadier-generals,
from the army and consigning them to
civil life, with, perhaps, one year's salary to
begin the business of life upon.
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

companies of State troops, under command of

chancellor's decision, which was rendered last

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.

DEMOCRATIC EXECUTIYE COMMITTEE.
In pursuance to wtbe call made by Hon.
Thomas Y. 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

the advertisement in another column of "The !

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,

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. .

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.
Kimbrell. Colored.?Richard Barry, George
Brumfield, John Erwin, Samuel Faulkner,
D. H. Hetherington.
Jury No. 2.? White.?J. G. Minter, Wm.
J. Miller, Wm. S. Starr, Z. D. Smith, James
A. Ratchford, W. 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.

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

was not known in Washington at the time of
his departure, and consequently he had no

Reporter. What, Mr. Robertson, is your
opinion in regard to his election ?
Mr. Robertson. "I am satisfied that 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

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

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*

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

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

,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
