E. 15. MUKRAY, Editor. THURSDAY, RUC. L't, TERMS : (?ME TEAR.?1.00. ?IX MONTHS. 75c. Two Uollurn if not lu a<lv?nr?<. TIII: LKOiHi.ATiniK. Tho Legislatura luis been in ???ion more than two weeks, ami a number of private bills ami those of local interest have bein introduced. Last Monday was (bc last day upon which any new bill could be introduced, and HO the work of the session bas been determined. On Thursday tho House passed a bill to abolish the Lien Law, to take effect on the 1st day of January, 1SS?. It is doubtful if this becomes a law, as thc Senate may reject thc bil!, and the Lien Law remain as it now is. Th? Senat? rejected the bill to furnish convicts to any of the rai!ronds in the Stale, and this settle.*, for thu present, all hopes of building railroad? by con vict labor. There is a bill pending in tho Senate giving the Railroad Commission power to enforce second class passenger rates, and ulso one in thc House providing for second class carn, and making tho [towen of thc Commission supervisory in regard lo freight tariffs, and subject lo the decis ion ni u Circuit Judge. The opinion prevails, however, that no important charge will be made in thc Railroad Commission law. Tili: POLITICAL Titi A I.S. Thus far no conviction has been had in thc political trials now being bud in Hie United States Court. In tho case against Mitchell, a mistrial from a fail ure of the jury, composed wholly of Radicals and (?rcenbuekcrs, to ugrce was ordered. In the case against Horsey, of Charleston, one ?if the Supervisors of Registration, the jury under tho advice of Melton and Speer signed a .?..diet of acquittal. Tho evidence utterly failed lo establish any violation of law or even nu fairlie-A on tho part of Mr. Horsey, and yet ho was subject to all the incon venience and expenso ot trial, that the outrage mill might lind some victim to gratify its voracious appetite. Tho ense of tho United States vs. Kdwin llelbea and others for interfering with a Green back meeting in Marion in 1882, wus commenced or. last Friday and was still ponding nt tho last advices. This, of ull tho cafics yet tried, is the most remarka ble. There is no proof to convict except by perjured witnesses, and this shown by their own testimony. TIIK UNITED STAT UH CIRCUIT COUIIT. The United Slates Circuit Court com menced its session in Columbia last Mon day a week ago, and promptly entered upon its accustomed duties in tho year preceding n general election-that of trying alleged political offences. Thus fir Mr. Melton and bis coadjutor, ouo Speer of Georgia, although by rulings of Judgo Rond against tho deliberate dis sent of Judge Rryan, have been enabled tn pack the junes by excluding every Democrat and selecting only Republi cans and their allies-f?reenbnckers yet tiley have been unable to convict a Bingle person, except a Republican United States Marshal, who p!eud guilty of drunkenness and disorderly behavior. In the case of Mitchell a mistrial was had. There were upon tho jury three men, not Democrats, who could not per jure themselves by believing the testi mony of tho false witnesses. Tho coun try is more indebted to these men for justice and sustaining the integrity of the Courts in tho administration of tho laws than the officers of thc law, who, by packing juries, seek to convict tho accus ed without affording them a fair and impartial trial. Wo have no hesitation ia saying that n Judge who permits a United States District Attorney, assisted by a hireling from another State, to select a jury composed of his political party and sympathizers, and rejecting from it every one not a political ally, does not afford to the accused a fair and impartial trial, and tbat such un organization of the jury is designed and intended to in sure conviction. The intent of the pros ecutions aro not misunderstood ; they are designed to invoke the strong arm of tho Federal government to ovcrawo the good people of South Carolina, and reinstate in power tho Republican party, a party more corrupt and degraded than ever governed the people of a free and intelli gent State. There is a future before those engaged in making tho Courts of justico partisan tribunals to uphold par C- in supremacy at the expense of fair impartial justice. Let the dark v -ad which shrouds tho "English Star Chamber," nnd tho infamy which is ever associated with tho name of "Arnold," warns those who uow are striking at the integrity and virtue of the temple of jus tico, of the future before them when the passions of the .day have subsided and reason aud justice, uninfluenced by largo counsel fees, shall have reasserted their supremacy. The fair and intelligent of the United States now condemn this packing of juries. A few years ago this perversion of justico was so great and undeniable in South Carolina, and perhaps other States, that it called for the intervention of Congress, and that body passed an Act tho Bole object of which was to prevent the Courts and juries from becoming partisan bodies and perverting juries, by enabling each of the great political parties to be represented on every jory in the United States Courts. Congress recrgnized the enormity of the wrong ?nd tho. gross injustice of selecting A Bepnbliean jury, and selecting them be cause ikey ara Republicans, to try their political adversaries for a political of- i fense; and yet Judge Bond bas permit ted Melton and Speer to override the spirit and intention of Congress as ex pressed. In tho Act, and to pack jory af ter jury, rejecting every Democrat and Eclecliog only Republicans ?nd their Allies. Every instinct of common jus tice between man and man revolt? at .neb partisan trials. It Ts the duty of the Judgw.to aee that ?very man accused Of an offense against tho laws bas a fair and impartial trial. This he cannot h?YO If the jury is a packed one, com posed of I?:s political enemies, and th' so enemies consisting in part of ignorant and unprincipled negroes, in this con nection, what does the lato and unusual order of Judge Mond, which places tho jury it? the charge of Marshals, prevents them from going io theil bullies ftlld shuts them up when not in Court in a hotel until discharged, mean? Wc can not fathom it. Melton .'elect-* his own jury, his partisans, sud cannot the Cou it trust them? Arc they depraved enough to be bought up? If so, they ought not to be on th<- jury and .Mr. Melton ought not to Hclect jurymen in whom the ."oort bad not confidence sufficient to allow them thc liberty usual lo juries in such cases. If thc Court cannot trust the jury selected by the District Attor ney, under the rulings of the Court, to do justice to the government, is it ju-t to thc accused, when each member of that jury is their political enemy, lo commit tho liberty of the citizen to them ?

Tho Alleged Infantirido at Central. Ou Wednesday lust, says thu Green ville News, we published an account of the discovery ol the remains of un infant in the back yard of a house al ('entrai. At the time of tho publication no arrests had been made. The following from thc Charlotte Observer confirm? thu state ment made by the AVMM that proper steps would bo taken to arrc.-t ibu suspected pal lies : ' Considerable excitement was create J down the Ai. Lino road Thursduy night over tho arrest of Miss Gunthrop, at Black's Station, on a ch?rgc of infanti cide. She waa curried to Ont ral, on tho Air Line road, fir trial. It appears that Mian Gunthrop, who is a daughter of tho bridge builder of tho Air Linc road, resided with ber mother ut Central. Some weeks ago tho family moved from Central to Black's Station, and thc house vacated by them was moved into a few days afterwards by nnother family, who nt once began to clean up the premises, and in doing so made a shocking discov ery. In a pile of rubbish in thu back yard they discovered the body of au infant in a partialstatoof decomposition, chowing thut it had been there for sever al daya. It wns buried but a few inches under the trash and its head was split entirely iu two pieces, showing that au infanticide had been committed. The news of the discovery created n great excitement, and suspicion at ouco point ed to Miss Gunthrop ns the mother of the child mid the murderer. A number of suspicious circumstances were devel oped which led to her arrest at Black's Station night boforu last. Her mother, Mrs. Gunthrop, was also placed under arrest and earned to Central to stand trial ns an accomplice " Ono Hundred HillionB Lust.

They will nggrogate one hundred millions. It is truo lhere bas not been any great conflagration like that nt Chicago or Fortland or those at Boston, bul the vast total has been made by the gradual frowth of comparatively small losses. Philadelphia Times. Politics and Pistols. NEW ORLKHKR, December 10.-A special from Greenville.

Senator Hutler, of South Carolina, hus introduced a bill in ibo United States Senate for tho repeal of lb? whole of ibo Internal Keveline laws und ibo abolition of the Internal Revenue system. The estim?t? d receipts from Internal Revenue t txes, lor tho current fiscal year, are about $130,000,000. For tuc ?arno period thc estimated surplus, without making any providion for tho .Sinking fund, will bc about $luu,0ou,000. The ; abolition of the Internal Revenue sys tem, therefore, will obstruct und prevent tariff reform, even moro completely than the election of Mr. Randall as Speaker would bave done. Senator Huller, we know, is in favor of a judicious reduction of the duties on Imports, mu] was outspoken in his pro fe re nee of Carlisle as thc candidate for Speaker. Jim bi? Internal Revenue, bill would eut oil' all hope of a revision of the tarin', in thc direction of a tariff for reve nuo. There H lillie danger thal the lintier bill will pass, for this reason and oilier reasons. Only a small number of States are affected by the misconduct of Revenue officers. In bul a small part of thc United S ta If.-? ia illicit distilling carried 01. Probably the present law can be amended so an lo make il less provoca tive of trouidc in the llluu Ridge moun tains, hut, even if it cannot, the popular verdict will be that the taxes on whiskey and tobacco shall not bc removed as long as the National debt remains unpaid and any taxation of imports is necessary. Whiskey and tobacco cause infinitely more harm than good. When they are not positively injurious, they are un doubtedly luxuries. The smoker, thc chewer, the snuff taker and thc tippler do not feel the tax. It is paid by them as consumers, every man paying in pro portion to thc quantity bo uses. There cannot be a fairer tax. And it is a tax that every one can escapo by abstaining from drink, and from the usc of tobacco. - AV ici wi'l f 'ourier.
