Melton and Speer have been hard at work packing juries and perform ing other dirty work ever since the opening of the United States District Court at Columbia. The eases of the colored Democrat, Mitchell, and Mr. Frederick Horsey, Supervisor of Reg istration for Charleston County, have both been disposed of—the first result ing In a mistrial and the other in an acquittal under positive instructions from Judge Bond, who, partisan as he Is, yet could not sanction any other disposition of th© case after hearing the villainous lies of the witnesses for the prosecution. The case now up for trial is the Ma rion case, in which it is charged that Edwin A. Bethea, T. C. Moody, J. R. Wllkerson,J. 8. Scott, J. A. Williams, C. E. McPherson, W. F. Claussen and W. S. McClennaghan, on the 4th of November, 1882, unlawfully conspired together for the purpose of preventing one A. H. Bowen from advocating his candidacy for Congress from the Fifth Congressional District.. In other words, that at a Greenback-Radical meetingat Marlon, on thedate named, the defendants, with others, conspired to prevent and did prevent Bowen and others from speaking to a crowd gathered for the purpose of hearing them. The couusel for the defence are Attorney-General Miles, ex-Judge A. G. Magrath, ex-Attorney-General Youmans, Mr. J. M. Johnson, Mr, J. G. Blue and Mr. J. 1*. K. Bryan. Counsel for defence made a desper ate effort to have this case passed ou by a grand jury before being brought for trial by the petty Jury, but the de cision was against them, and the case is one of that class belonging to the villainous system of informations. The attempt of the Georgia renegade to exclude the defendants from the court-room is one of the most bare faced and disreputable efforts ever recorded to rob the citizen of one of his dearest liberties; viz: the right to meet his accusers face to face. Of course he failed; but nevertheless the attempt was made, ami forcibly illus trates the unscrupulous and cruel na ture of the man and his earnest desire to warn his blood-money beyond per- adventure of a doubt. This case will probably be concluded to-day, and, from the flimsy nature of the testi mony, must result in either an ac quittal or a mistrial from even the packed Republican jury iu charge of the case. The disreputable creatures, Melton and Speer, by their mean, pitiful and j rascally maueuvree throughout these trials, have earned a crown of infamy wiiteb they will find none to dispute until <Hd Gabriel blows his horn for them t^occupy the sulphurous cham- horn ^ pytheir reception in I/OCAL.

These gentle men are proprietors of one of the most extensive establishments in their line to be found iu the city of Augusta. Their business is simply infmense, and their great popularity proceeds from the honorable and courteous manner in which all their business is transacted. Their mammoth stock embraces every conceivable variety of heavy and fancy groceries, from the choicest Mocha coffees, truits, pre serves, champagnes, wines and dressed poultry to bacon, stock feed, hay and oats. We bespeak for those gentlemen a patronage from the house keepers of Aiken.
