Writs have been prepared by the Clerk of the House and forwarded to Speaker Sheppard for his signature, ordering an election in Lancaster County for a member of the House ofj Representatives to till the vacancy oe easioned by the McManus, and fill the vacancy of R.

Tho Political Trials. It»is now ju.at about seventeen years since the stars and bars of the Lost Cause were furled nt Appomatox. All ranks of society and the people of all sections of onr common country seem anxious to touch with gentleness the wounds inflicted during that agoni zing struggle. The veterans of the North and the South who confronted each other o« many a hard fought battle-field, illumined by deeds of heroic daring that will pass down the tide of time as priceless heir-looms to our children’s children, now meet in fraternal accord around the green graves of the Blue and the Grey, and east God’s beautiful gifts* the fragrant «*r eprfrtg, upon the restful bosoms of those brave warriors who went down amid the carnage of battle at tho call of duty. The Northman welcomes the Bouthron to his home, and the Bouthron reciprocates with interest. Each seems anxious to re mind the other that we are one people, populating a grand and glorious country, and that we must turn our hacks on tiie dead past, looking only to the wonderful possibilities of the future. Bitch, we niaintan, is the dis position of the people at large. But the horde of Radical politicians who for more than twenty long years have plundered the national treasury witli an audacity and to an extent hitherto unknown in our history, step to the front, and with the keen scent of the fierce and filthy hyena, exhume the dead issues of the past, and gibbering ■with hatred and lusting for a pro tracted lease of power and plunder, cry out for the imprisonment and blood of their fellow-citizens, because they are political opponents. The funds of the national treasury are profligately used to cultivate the sub tle arts of the sulwirner and tiie per jurer. Our citizens from various por tions of the Btate are hounded down and brought before a United States Judge of notorious partizan procliv ities, upon the false accusations of perjured assassins. In eager anxiety to manacle like felons and drag to distant prisons these unoflemling citi zens, the regular attorney of the Gov ernment is deemed insufficient, and a Philadelphia lawyer is hired to engage in a nefarious species of detective work for the avowed purpose of ac complishing the conviction of the most respectable and responsible of our citizens. Thiajoul, "1J infill lira! work is attempted solely because these men are Democrats with white skins, and in the eyes of these caricatures upon decency it is a crime to be a Democrat. Arthur, created President by the cowardly act of the assassin Guitcau, gnd his miserable creature Brewster, who disgraces the high post of Attor ney-General, and all the rest of their j dastardly gang, would rather see the grand old State of South Carolina plundered and sinking to ruin under tiie ignorant barbarity of negro rule, provided she were Republican, than see her prosi>erous and happy as she now is, and remain Democratic. The grand jury of the country is ignored by those people as too slow a machine for their purposes, and the summary process of trial upon infor mation by the United States District Attorney, obtained upon the affidavit of Hugh P. Kane, the former body servant of the robber Radical Gover nor, F. J.

Hugh P. Kane, George Scruggs, G. Moore and Wm. Durham, United States Revenue officers, were tried last week before the .United States Court at Charleston for the brutal murder of Amos Ladd, whom they shot to death in a cowardly manner while standing in the door of his own house. The ease consumed two days, and was ably conducted on both sides. After a characteristic charge from the notorious Judge Bond, the jury re tired, and after an absence of thirty- five minutes returned a verdict of not guilty. Kane is an unnaturalized cit izen and a notorious scoundrel, and was formerly the body servant of F. J. Moses, the robbcr-GovcHior. The other three were fit associates of their leader. The action of the jury liber ates these unprincipled ruffians to depredate ad libifum upon the lives aAd lil )erties of the people in the upper portion of the State. A day of reck oning will yet overtake them. Splendid Democratic Victory. Col. John T. Illicit was elected !

PARK of many acres, carefully sodded with beautiful grass and clover and care fully tended, under the vigilant super intendence of Charleston’s untiring, inteligent and patriotic Mayor, Win. A. Courtenay, our esteemed friend of ante be/him days. Along the walks are comfortable settees with latticed seats and inviting arms, to seduce the fatigued invalid or admirer of na ture to rest his wearied limbs, and contemplate the beautiful. The walks are smooth and nicely macademized with crushed oyster shells, and the drive on the East and South battery is all that a Vanderbuilt or Grant or any other lover of fast horses, could desire. But among the walks of the park we note two most interesting objects. What are they? One is a bronze bust erected on a modest pedes tal, engraved simply with the name of “Sims,” an appropriate and beoom- ingtributeto Carolina’s illustrious and patriotic poet, novelist and historian, Wm. Gilmore Sims. We pass on a little further, and involuntarily dofl’ our hat before a non-commissioned soldier. Not a General or a Colonel or even a Major, without which titles, even in Republican America, those who have shot at nothing save the lovrartr-ss—rWTirciing sparrow think their worth passes unacknowledged by their feilowmen. Men of Aiken, it was Jasper, only Sergeant Jasper, a soldier of Moultrie’s, who when he saw the crescent Hag shot from its staff, in an cestacy of patriotism such as brings poor humanity near unto the angels, exclaimed, “Don’t let us fight without a flag!” and springing from the battlements of the poor little Palmetto fort amid a hailstorm of death, returned victorious with tiie colors in his hand and tied them to a sponge-staff, and when the missiles of death ceased to rain upon the little Palmetto fort and the •sulphurous clouds were lifted, John Rutledge, Governor of South Carolina, came down to the Island and offered this same Sergeant Jasper a commission, but he refused—and what was his reason?—Incompotency! He said lie could imither read nor write and there fore he ought not to accept a commis sion. The noble Rutledge then quietly unbuckled his sword from his own and tendered it to tho for all the branches, including the gymnasium. The course of study is very complete, embracing ancient and modern languages, mathematics, belle lettres, and all the studies necessary to equip a boy for entrance into any college or university. We only wish that our State possessed more institu tions of the same kind. Thanking Capt. Dibble for his courteous atten tion, we returned to our hotel deightod with all we had seen. We saw much more during our brief visit that was both interesting and pleasant, but space admonishes us that we must defer any furher ob servations for our next visit. We cannot, however, conclude this arti cle without expressing our admira tion for the improvements in the old City Hall Park, as well as for the im proved and improving condition of the streets. Charleston has a Mayor who understands his duties and who is thoroughly imbued with progressive ideas. Long may he be spared in his present field of usefulness. SOUTH CAROLINA RAILWAY CO.
