The New York Ber aid ot the 5th says : i Tho case of Sanford Conover was argued on Sat? urday in banco before Judges Carter, Wylie, Fisher and Olin. Tho case came un on appeal from the Criminal Court, where, it will be remem? bered, Conover was convicted of perjury. The ap? peal is made on the ground of the conviction being illegal, and of misdirection on tho part of. the. ! jndgoswho tried the case. Tho.case is regarded os ono of great importance, inasmuch as the ques? tion of whether or not false swearing before a Con? gressional Committee can be made punishable as penury. The learned counsel for the prisoner, . JntLre Lander and Mr. Gooding, contended that the defendant was illegally convicted of an offence1 for which no trial could bo legally had, as the evi? dence was not givon before a tribunal where falso swearing would bo perjury, and consequently tho case did not come under the definition or perjurv at all._ Tho guilt or innocence of Conover had nothing io do with tho issue. The question was if tho trial and conviction wore legal. The District Attorney, 'Mr. Carrington, followed by Mr. Wilson, argued in support of the indict? ment and conviction. There was no new point submitted beyond th it which bas already been re? port. d when the oase first came up. The decision was reserved until next Saturday. This win bo a decision of great interest ; on it hinges tho dogroe pf authority possessed by thp?e Congressional Committees, to "send for persons and papers." Ifnerjury cannot be committed by falso Bwearingbeforo tho Committee, it isoonclri sive that thoy havo no right to administer an oath; and if so, the whole inquisition is a sham -without a shadow of legal authority. The Radicals are in a dilemma. Of course they would Uko to shield their firotege, the immaculate CONOVER, but if they do, they ackuowledgo the 1 alternative, "that the Committee had no right to administer an oath. THE Savannah Republican, of the 11th, says : ' A BOLD ATTEMPT AT WHOLESALE POISONING._ The community of Savannah was taken by-storm yesterday announcing the culmination of a tragedy supposed to have been enacted on the corner of Bryan and Ann streets. Investigating the matter, wo found the following state of facto, which may be relied upon in every particular: Jacob Handy (colored) had had several altercations with his wife. Fanny, who is in the employ of. Mr. Erheb, on tho c..mer of Bryan and Ann streets. Jacob Handy, th3 husband, who had been sopara ted from his wiro for some time, returned to the house yes? terday, and made preparation to carry ont his hell? ish design. By the use of a superabundance of strychnine in the food designed for his wife, he expected te accomplish his dark deed, and after preparing bruakfast he made his exit. Tho chil? dren, io. partaking of the mool, found it not palata? ble and fhrow it out, when a dog went for it and in a few minutes was dead. Bra. Harris and Charl? ton were immediately numzaohed, who, after test? ing tho food, found it poisoned by strychnine. Jacob Handy, after perpetrating -this foul deed, loft for parts unknown, and has not been arrested. The following additional facts have appeared : . A colored woman, the wife of Jacob Handy, came in Dr. Solomons' drug store last night and request? ed him to examirio some ground colfoo abo exhibit? ed. Ho found strychnine strongly dovolopod upoa the tests made. The woman stared. that she had made the coffee for two Germans boarding with her, and found it bitter ; and soon after her chil? dren had tasted it they became ill, and requested her to go for a doctor. >i-:i,?rr Bra. Harris and 'Charlton, -regular physician were ca led in, and pronounced the food poison! by strychnine. - ? .? Tho Bristol News says : -"Bev. T. K.

General GRIFFIN, tho Chiof Commissioner of tho Freedmen's Bureau for Texas, it would appear, has made good uso of his opportunities in study? ing tho character and habits of the negroes, over whose welfare ho was called to preside; and ho embodies the result of his observations ir the shape of advice and instruction in a circular to his subordinate agents. Thia circular has a historical and ethnological value, not contemplated by Gen? eral GRIFFIN; for, by a careful perusal of it, wo cm trace tho influences of two years of freedom on tho character of the new citizens. First, then, we are glad to find that General GRIFFIN has arrived at tho conclusion that it is better to moko haste slowly, and ho accordingly admonishes his subordinates "that much loss in time and wages has resulted to the freedmen from their engaging with persons of insufficient capital and experience, and that they (the agents of tho Bureau) should earnestly advice tho negroes to prefer making contracts with responsible parties rather than yiold to extravagant promises which aro almost sure to fail of fulfillment. " The Now Orleans correspondent of the Now York Times remarks quietly on the above : "It is not necessary to intimate that all these 'persons of insufficient capital and experience' are from the North." They belong to that class of mon who migrate Southward with slender purses but full of self-assurance. They cajole the negro into making contracts at high rate of wages and either fail dis? astrously or sell out during the growing season, leaving thoir credulous dupos in the lurch. Find? ing themselves thus deceived by those who pro? fessed to be their friends and who claimed to have the confidence of the Freedmen's Bureau, tho freedmen quit the plantations and crowd into tho cities and villages, in tho hope of picking up in a loose, desultory way a living for themselves and families. Once there they aro bosst by temptations they cannot resist, and losing all tho restraints that were put upon their passions in their former state of servitude, they become idle and vicious and worthless. With a full knowledge of tho de? plorable extent to which these evil influences havo already debased the negro character, General GRIFFIN urges that they shall be "advised to keep away from crowded cities and towns,"" for that "idleness and vagrancy lead to crime." They are also to be admonished that "all the efforts of the Bureau and of charitable associations will be use? less unless by industry and frugality thoy resolve to help themselves." . From one learn all. The whole world is Mn, the black world no less than the white. What holds good in Texas about planters and labor, and about city and country, is no less true in South Carolina and in Charleston. We must confess, however, (in the light of what passes before our oyos hero), to some surprise that General GRIFFIN should deem it necessary to instruct his subordinates, that they shall insist that the freedmen sholl sond their children to school, and to tell them that it is not enly their right, but their solemn duty to ac? quire knowledge I" In this respect wo are certain? ly ahead of Texas. The difficulty hero would be to keep the negroes from getting rapidly educated. They literally devour WERSTES (NOAS), by day and by night. Gen. Griffin next proceeded to the consideration of one of the Ten Commandments. Why he con? fines himself to the seventh, and hos nothing to say about the eighth, it is impossible for us to sur? mise. Still we are thankful for this much. The next circular may supply this deficiency. It seems with all tho marrying of freedmen, that has been conducted wholesale during the past two years' by Chaplains, if we are not mistaken, appointed for this special purpose, there is still room for complaint, because of "irregularities." It is" sur? prising that tho "Burean of the marital relations'" (we ore not sure that we have the exact title of this subdivision of the Freedmen's Bureau) should have fallen so far short of establishing the institution of colored marriage on a sound basis, as to need the following implied rob uko from General Griffin. He says to hie agents : "Givo tho subject of marriago especial attention. Bear in mind, and impress upon the freed poople, that tho relation of man and wife is an institution and sanctioned by the Almighty, and use your best in deavors to gather them into households, and in? duce them to observe the sanctity of tho marital relation." This is wholesome, christian, scrip? tural advice. It ts. a great pity, however, that it should be needed m'tiV^narter.. Here then, says the ?u?Nnore Gazette, in re? viewing the same oiroular, we have, in tho shape of official iristructions to agents of the Freed!-- '' Bureau in Toxas, a complete exposition of tho causes which render tb? free negroes not to be de? pended on, and of the degraded condition to which such large numbers of them have been reduced. They have boen cheated of their time and wages by disreputable adventurers. They have grown iisgustod with plantation labor. They crowd into towns and villages where they huddle together and lead a life of idleness and vico and crime. They do nett appreciate for their children the educational blessings which Northern "school marms" are pre? pared to shower on them, and they have shown, thus for, a contemptuous disregard for the binding obligations of marriage. All this we gather from the suggestive instructive instructions before us. Wo find also that these evils are becoming of such magnitude that each of the Sub-Assistant Com mi'sioners of the Bureau is directed, "immedi? ately" on receipt of the circular, "to make a tour through the section of country -properly coming within his jurisdiction for the. express purpose of impressing upon the freedmen the, necessity of their acting in accordance with tho foregoing- prin? ciples." ' .. " Pr. Lord's Leetare. To (he Editor of the Daily JPetos. We wished to hear the Doctor for his cause, his subject and his reputation. The wish was fully gratified .it St. Stephen's Chapel the other night Tl would be impossible to notice this perform? ance with justice to its merits, without a lecture I from our pf n-and the columns of the paper would | not allow that. We have sometimes thought that the theme of a speaker could afford no possible elua to the style of literary performance we might expect. After once listening to a clever paper upon " Jack and Gill"-treated as an epic-we came to the conclu? sion that the subject was of little consequence. The mind to work it was everything. Indeed the poetical license which usage also extended to the pnblio speakers, enables a gifted man to enter? tain his auditory with rambles over the whole field of letters. The only point io that it most be well | done. No matter how far he may wander, if he is entertaining by the way. Dr. LORD'S lecture showed , this. His subject, the works cf the illiterate tinker, and the rough handling of Leigh Hunt, afforded the learned lec? turer an opportunity for unfolding to his hearers' the treasures of a mind stored with tho choicest gleanings from the ancients and moderns. To show how ho did it, oven if we could-to exhibit tho easy and apparently natural gradations by which a polished hue will glide from Bunyan or Jack abd Gin to the sublime of MILTON, the grand and speaking outline' of HOMES,'or the universal knowledge and flowing diction of SBAKBPEARE, would be the task of a more elaborate criticism than our ambition prompts or space permito.

Extracts from another letter, written by a minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church, are also given. The statement of the Bov.

In this most pressing exigency these starving people seem to look once more to Maryland for that assistance they cannot got at homo and have no_hopo of receiving elsewhere. Our citizens have already been overtaxed by re? sponding to the many appeals which have been made to them from different parts of the South ; but with that confidence in their profound sympa? thy and practical benevolence which their past record of good deeds inspires, it hos been thought on this occasion on appeal to the Legislature migh t not bo in vain. To this end petitions have been drawn up asking for assistance. Copies of tho petition will be circulated among our citizens on Monday, and wo ore sure, from the nature of tho case and especially from its urgency, will be promptly and numerously signed. A copy will also be found at tho omeo of the Gazette, where signatures will bo received. Tile Suffering nt tho South-An Appeal. MACKSVILLE, S. C., March 22,1867. George M. Gi!f, ?Sg., Baltimore, Md. My Bear tlii'-I novo just got back in safety to my homo and family, and do not allow myself the ordinary and necessary repose after a long journey before writing to you m behalf of my afflicted and distressed countrymen. In ono of our recent interviews in Baltimore, you suggested that the City Council and the Legisla? ture of Maryland might each make an appropria? tion for the relief of the suffering people of the Southern States. At that tiree I could not speak confidently of tho actual or prospective sufferings of the country, but since making a tour of two hundred miles through the heart of this State, with oyes and ears Open, I have come io tho con? clusion that the distress of the people is unprece dently great, and must become even more so if our friends in other parts of the country do not come to our relief. Many of our people are not only destitute and without credit by which to get the means of subsistence, but will be without the means of cultivating their farms, and of cense quenco must be even worse off the next year. This distress is not confined to any one section of the State, but prevails to a less or a greater ex? tent in every portion of it. A goodly number have raised cotton enough to parchase food, but the greater mass of the people have neither cotton, money, nor credit to buy ' the (bod necessary to prevent their families from actu? al starvation. ? ' In Abbeville, and several of the adjoining dis? tricts, I learn from good authority, the distress is very groat, ?nd becomes every day more so. In Columbia, os I learned from Dr. Adger, one gen? tleman was serving out cornmeal by tho peck to moro than four hundred families. From Judge Aldrioh, with whom I travelled some distance yes? terday and who has been travelling extensively in the State?, I learned that the di tress was quite as great in tho southwestern part of the State as any? where else, and indeed he expressed the serious apprehension that we were approaching a general Tomine, such as had never been known m thia ?ountry.

The $500.00u appropriated by tho Legislature of South Carolina to supply corn, to which reference was made in our lost interview, proved an entire failure, owing to tho met, I believe, that our State bonds are worth very little in the present state of the coun ? do not suppose that matters are any better in tho State of Georgia. Perhaps the general desti? tution is grouter m these two States than in any other. - The wants of the country can bo better met by th i shipment of corn and, most than in tnTaSg vr?{s. ?hoac might oe sont to depots along *e railroads and be placed under the care of judicious committees, who could either sell thom at moder? ate prices or distribute them gratuitously among thc poor as might seem necessary. It will require, ELS I learned from a number of judicious ana ob? servant men, several hundred thousand bushels of som to relieve the distress of the Stats alone; but whatever may be given will go just so far to re? lieve existing distress. in conducing this hastily written letter, I would simply add that whatever may be done should bo lone as speedily as possible. Our Christian people are greatly comforted and sheered by what is being done in Beltimore for the ? Ji'.t of our afflicted church. -, * .- ours, with Christian and fraternal regards, . J. LEIGHTON WILSON. Extracts from a letter dated Columbia, H. C., March 1,1867, written at the request of the Be v. William Martin, a Methodist minister at Columbia, syone of his children, and addressed to Dr. J. Leighton Wilson, who sentit to George M. Gill, of Baltimore. Dr. Wilson fully endorses the standing md character of the Bev. William Martin : "Early in the winter contributions for the poor if South Carolina were sent by Gov. Orr, who re- I mealed my father to undertake the distn bution of hem, and, in order to do this impartially, request id hun to ascertain aa far as possible the condi ion of the poor throughout the State. Ac ting on Iiis request, my. father has for months past been corresponding with responsible men in all parts of me State and has learned the following painful facts: "That at least one hundred and fifty thousand josh els of corn must be brought into the State [South Carolina) for gratuitous distribution to pro rent actual famine, that, there ore now tn many places numbers of persons who are suffering for bread, who. must perish unless help come speedily, ind that the suffering is by no means cammed to that class of persons who will beg, bat that the greatest Buffering is among those who are suffer? ing from the reverse of fortune brought about by tho war, to whom begging would be worse than death. : "Within sound of Columbia I know of two deaths from actual want, and from the intelligence my father has received, we have every reason to fear that these are not isolated oases. "On my lather's pension list are. the names of nearly four hundred persons, representing nearly fifteen honored persons, nearly all of whom are widows and orphans or disabled soldiers. These persons ore almost entirely dependent on tho help he (my father) receives from abroad, for subsistence.

Mr. Salinas' loss is about $1000, the stock being only partially in? sured.-Barnwell Sentinel, The Central Georgian ?says an unfortunate duel, with double-barrel shot-guns, was fought on tho 10th ultimo, near Four Mile Branch, in Barnwell District, South Carolina, between Dr. M.

SALE OF VALUABLE LAND ra STAHLT.-The I Wadesboro Argua says : "We learn that David | Kondall, of Stanly, has recently sold his place, four miies above Albemarle, on the Salisbury road, to two gentlemen from the North, who aro making arrangements to work it for the gold they have rea? son to believe is in it. The indications aro very rich. One of the purchasers who had some expe? rience in California, says that they are as rich as the richest placers in that State. Any time after an ordinary shower of rain pieces of gold in size from a small pea to the largest grain of corn con be picked up m exposed places, and it is thought that with good machinery the return from gold dust will bo very great. We have recently seen TO very fine specimens found by a person while -usually walking over the land, and a short while since a nugget was found on it valued at $5 in gold. Tho largest piece of gold ever found in this State was discovered two miles from this place. Besides the gold in the loose earth the indications are that the rocks (quartz and slate) are very rich. On Friday night last the stable premises of Dr. W. C. Ramsay, in this town, were entered by thieves, by drawing the Btapie to which the hasp was locked, and some eighteen to twenty bushels of corn in the ear carried off. No doubt moro than one person was engaged in this robbery, and bo sides a wagon used. But owing to the number of fresh wagon tracks near tho stable the Doctor was not able to follow up any. trace, and as yet no clue has been got of the robbers. On Monday night thieves entered the smoke house and storeroom of Mr. Clem. Birmingham, residing about four miles from town, and carried off tome seven to eight hundred pounds of bacon, several bushels meal, a hundred or two pounds of flour, and a barrel of molasses. Two freedmen have been arrested implicated in the robbery. 1 Others ore at large. SPECIAL NOTICES. aa-CHARLESTON WATER WORKS COM?
