1 ROW ?Dont Dividing the Spoils
Crew? Vows Vengeance- Who "Wrote
that Famous Letter.
[FROM AN OCCASIONAL CORRESPONDENT.]
COLUMBIA, April 17.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS.
There has been a big fuss in the Radical
samp, and from all 1 can gather, it is only the
>eginning of a bigger row.
lt appears that Governor Scott promised the
)ffico of Land Commissioner to Joseph Crews,
me of the white members of the State House
>f Representatives, and then gave the afiioe to
j. P. Leslie, the senator from Barnwell. This,
>f coarse, riled Crews terribly, and he swears
.engeance against the whole party, vowing
hat he will expose their schemes and tricks
lioce they have controlled the government.
Last night Governor Scott sent for Crews
md promised to give him something else if he
vould only keep quiet. But Crews would not
>e mollified, and cursed the whole establish
nent right and left, saying that they had all
veil feathered their nests, and that all the
poils were given to Northern men. He said
te would show them that it was too late to talk
? buying him. It promises to be a very pretty
narrai.
By the way, it has leaked oui that Governor
Icott's letter to Hr. 6. W. Williams, in whioh
here was so much praise of thoTf?ercury and
ts late conductors, and so muob abuso of THE
JEWS, wau written by Mr. John Heart, who was
a former days one of the proprietors of the
ferenry, and is now Governor Scott's private
lecretary. This accounts, &c. X. X. X.
THE ENROLLMENT OF NEGRO
TROOPS.
ta Effect upon the Peace and Kinlet ot*
the People-A Sensible and Manly Ar?
ticle.
We take the following well-timed and judi
ions article from the Sumter Watchman :
Anything like the enrollment of neem troops
ii th io Mme, it sae ms manifest, could not fail
o have a most disastrous effect, both upon the
agricultural interests of the State, and the
>eaco and quiet of the people. The exciting
tleetioDS having pasted over, and a very per?
ceptible calm having succeeded, and there sp?
earing to be nothing of a sp?cial nature be?
ere us to produce disturbance, a very general
tope waa entertained that the laboring cle?
nents of the country would be permitted to sot?
ie down, with what of zeal and application the
till conflicting and demoralized condition
vould admit of. to the great and vitally impor
ant business of cultivating the soil. Our farm
irs and planters worn generally more hopeful
>f the efficiency of labor the present year, and
rere devoting themselves with an activity and
tarnestness such as we have not witnessed be
Ore since the close of the war. As a proof of
bis we may point to the almost unequalled
mount of fertilizers which have been and ore
>eing brought into our midst-to the compara?
tively small number of idlers how seen, and to
he spirit which is manifesting itself in oonneo
ion with the formation of agricultural assochv
.ions.l joking alone to progress and improvment
n developing the material interests cf tho OOU??
ry.
But it would be wrong to attempt to conceal
he fact that this movement toward the or?
ganization of negro troops, or even the forma?
ron of a negro militia, as must, in foot, be the
nraotioal result, has created serious apprehen?
sions in the minds of our most quiet and less
tensitive citizens. From the very natara of
ho circumstances now existing, such a move?
ment must breed disturbance t'? a greater or
eas extant, and, aa a consequence, detract
rom our industrial energies. Governor Scott
literates his feeling of interest in the com
non good of "oar people," as he calls us, and
especially in the development of our material
prosperity. Does not his reason, his observa
ion- the history of the past three years-tell
aim in language he cannot mistake, that what
tie proposes to do must retard both lhaae ? If,
n fact, the effect be not of a more serions na?
ture ? And did there exist, upon the face of
things in this State, at this time, a show of
necessity, looking to the preservation of the
peace, for euch a movement, there might ap?
pear soma consistency in the professions of
Governor Scott, with such movement. But it
i? notoriously the fact, that .at no time since
ina inauguration of the present State Govern?
ment, so obnoxious to every sense, feeling and
interest of the whole moss of the intelligence
and worth of the white citizens of the State,
has there been a period of general quiet eqnal
to that which prevails at present. And, if vio
lenoo and bloodshed how again occur, we ask,
in the name of all truth, at whose door will the
responsibility rest ? Wa ask this in all sober
nosj, and with no feeling but that of depreca?
tion of difficulty in the f ature.
If, then, we cannot see the necessity for this
mustering of the militia, and the inevitable ir?
ritation whioh must follow, what motive can
we discover, except it be a purpose to continue
to violate and wound the natural sensibilities
of our people-to tyrannize over them by the
use of the brute force which tho superior num?
ber of the negro population affords-to crush
them down, in tact, with the heel of the negro ?
This is certainly the tendency of these things,
if it be not the purpose. And yet Governor
Scott says, while in the pnrsuit of this new in?
sult, and wrong, and oppression of our people,
of the existing state of things : "I am not
without hope, however, that they will gradual?
ly toc?me re xraciled to them. "
If he really indulges ?neb a hope, it is better
at once to tell bim that ho has failed entirely
to comprehend the character of our people,
and that his hope is utterly without founda?
tion.

FOEEIGN NEWS.
Th? ?Triplo Alliance"-Th? New Span?
ish Constitution-The War Cloud.
From the latest foreign mails by the Java we
glean the following:
THE "TRIPLE ALLIANCE."
? deputation from Naples presented the
King of Italy with a crown of geld ca thc anni?
versary of the battle of Novara, fought March
23, 1849. After thanking the deputation, the
King remarked that Italy was on the eve of
a grave crisis. Never had the need of earnest
unity been greater. "Momentous events, from
which will spring the accomplishment of our
?wishes, and of the destiny of our country, are
at hand." There seems to bo no doubt that ,
thc King did make use of these significant
words, and os a Republican conspiracy can
hardly be looked upon as realizing the destiny
of the country, the King is supposed to allude
to the "triple alliance." The Emperor Napo?
leon, it is believed, has sold the Pope for Italy's
aid.
THE NEW SPANISH CONSTITUTION.
A draft of the now Spanish constitution has
been published in the form-, that it has been
agreed upon by tho committee. It ie TI n do nb t
edly a great progress over '.he constitution un?
der Isabella; it is, in some respeots, more libe-> j
ral than tho French and Italian constitutions,
and its provision for the establishment of uni-,
versal suffrage is as liberal as may be found in
apy of th? European constitutions. With re?
gard to the articles concerning religious free?
dom, article twenty obliges the nation to main?
tain the worship and the ministers of tho
Catholic religion. By the following artiole
resident foreigners receive the right of exor?
cising any other worship, and article twenty
two concedes to Spaniards who profess another
religion than the Roman Catholic, the right
wnich the preceding section hod conceded to
foreigners.
WAU RUMORS.
The London Star hos the following from
Paris:
Rumors of war, from high quarters, still
reach us, the basis whence they arise being the
statement of those well informed os to Prussian
politics, that that power considers war with
France inevitable, and, therefore, is not only
prepared, but ready to take the initiative. It
appears a foot that Prussia, in her diplomatic
relations with Southern Germany, has negoti?
ated a free passage through all the States be?
longing to that confederation. Prussia, it is
further asserted, will select the approaching
election as an appropriate moment for quar?
relling with France. The Franco-Belgian inc?,
dent may serve as the desired pretext. M.
Frere-Orban, it is true, comes to Paris with the
most conciliatory views. The Emperor, in an
autograph letter to the King of Belgram, has
convinced that country that in all events its
independence will bo carefully respected, and
that he is not ambitious of conquest or an?
nexation with regard to Belgium. The King
is perfectly reassured, and quite willing to?
maso all suitable concessions to France. But
it appears that these concessions are dis?
pleasing to England as well as to Prussia,
and M. Frere Orban himself admits to M.
Rouuer that the proposed French and Belgic
international treaty will excite the jealousy
of the above mentioned countries.
WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP*
Secretary Fish Abandona his coraserva
tlsm-Prompt and Decisive Measures
. to ne l,ursw.*a* Toward? Spain-The
Honor cf the Flag to ha Vindicated.
A Washington telegram of Thursday last,
to the New York Herald, says:
Secretary Fish, after all, seems determined
to pursue the correct course in regard to
the protection of the rights of American citi?
zens abroad, and particularly respecting those
cases growing out of recent occurrences in the
vicinity of Cuba. While there is no doubt that
he has expressed heretofore very moderate
views, still there is jost as little doubt that he
is determined not to allow the national honor
to be lowered. While he does not believe in
hasty action in the absence of full informa?
tion, yet wheu all the facts are in his posses?
sion and make out a case oallihg for a positive
assertion of the national dignity, there is
reason to believe Mr. Fish will take such
a stand as will satisfy, the most ex?
iting ??d jealous on ino point ot na?
tional honor. If tho reported outrages and
insults to our flag prove to be founded
on foots and are not gross exaggerations, Mr.
Fibh will demand reparation promptly. Apply?
ing this to the case of the Lizzie Major, it is
said he will demand that the two passengers"
be not only current ered without delay, but
further, that they be placed on board the
American brig from which they were taken,
or some other American vessel, and that the
American flag at the same time be saluted by
the Spanish man-of-war; further, he will de?
mand indemnity for the detention of the pas?
sengers and such losses as may have resulted
from their seizure. It these really be his in?
tentions, and they are so stated to be by goad
authority, Mr. Fish, ofter all, will only be re?
sponding to the popular wish. The Secretary
ot State has replied to .Captain Campbell's
claim for redress in the matter of the seizure
of the brig Mary Lowell, stating that the mat?
ter had been made the subject of investigation
before the Admiralty Court, under the demand
of the British Government; but that whatso?
ever mi ; nt be the result thereof, he might rest
assured the United States Government would
protect ?ii the right B of its citizens. . '. -
Trouble about the Spanish Mia slot -
Spicy interview between General
Sickles and thc President,
General Sickles had a spioy interview with
the President on Wednesday.
. It appears that when Sickles declined the
mission to Mexico tho President promised him
the mission to Spain, and even went so far as
to put his name down for the place. Sickles
went away under the impression that he was
booked for Spoin, and gave himself no further
trouble abott it. The next he heard was that
Sanford had been nominated for the place.
Sickles went to th s President for an explana?
tion. The President told him that when he
promised him Spain he folly intended to give
it. Sumner. Anthony and a few other senators
had come to bim and Insisted that Sanford,
who had been removed from Brussels, should
be transferred to Spain, and they were so im?
portunate that he could' not avoid granting
their request. Sickles (so the story goes)
wound up by giving the President a piece of
his mind. There is great opposition to San?
ford in and out of the Senate, and there are
some doubts now of bis confirmation. He has
been eight yoars out of the country, and dur?
ing all that time has held the comfortable
place of Minister ot Brussels.
The Alabama Claim*-Instructions to
Minister Metier.
The State Department is busily engaged in
preparing tho instructions for Minister Motley,
and, it is? thought, will have thom ready for
him in a few days. They will be in accordance
with the views of President Grant respecting
the liability of the. English Governments for
property destroyed by the privateer Alabama,
ana altogether different from the instructions
of Secretor* Reward, under Which Ministers
Adams and Beverdy Johnson carried on their
negotiations for the settlement of these claims.
Mr. Motley hos hod several interviews with
Mr. Evatts, who is thoroughly posting bim
respecting new points in international law.
Au Unreconstructed Hebel Nominated
for Governor of Mew Mexlsjo*
The President sent in again the name of C
O. Crow to be Governor of New Mexioo^ Crow
was o rebel general, and his uominatioiTgives
great dissatisfaction to the Republicans,
especially as he hos not, like Longstreet, pro?
fessed penitence. The man whom he will
euper.-edo?s General Mitchell, who fought on
the Union side and received some sixteen
wounds. In one of the battles in the West,
General Mitchell defeated a rebel force under
Crow, capturing a large number of bis men.
As matters now stand, in the presont contest,
Crow bas captured Mitchell, or at least dis?
lodged him from bis position. It ls under?

TUE CUBAJf REVOLUTION.
An Adarces to the F?ople ot thc United
States front the il sent of the Insurgent*
-Terrible Scenes in Havana-The
Garrote.
An address published by the agent of the
Cubans in thiB country says that the power of
the revolution!ste bas focroaeed steadily sicco
last October, and that now thoy have 42,000
men in their army under the command of C?s?
pedes, general. They claim control of all tho
interior, amounting to ' iro-thirds of the island;
and allow the Spaniards only the ports that
they are able to retaia by forts and fleets,
neither of which the revolutionists have. The
address goes on to allege that the rebellion
would have expelled thc Spaniards if the for?
mer could havo procuro;! arms from this coun?
try as freely as the latter have done; and ap?
peals to the broadest interpretation of the
Monroe doctrino as ground for help from the
United States.
A letter to tho New York Tribune, dated
Havana, April IOJSOVB?^ _
Yesterday we had another bloody scone, and
. a brave one. The military authorities went
out to execute two men, and with their accus?
tomed accuracy of aim, ?hot six or more. Leon
and Madina, the two Cubans condemned for
taking lead in tho riot Jf the Puente Chavez
last January, were gai -.otea amid tho wildest
disorder. These men had been tried in ft lo?
bular civil court. They wore workmen in the
tobacco factory of. Figuera, and when about
the. time of the Villanueva and Louvre mas?
sacres, the police attempted to seize some
arms concealed in the nox ? house, they sallied
out at the head of a number of their comrades,
and led on the crowd to oppose the policemen,
several of whom wero killed in the affray.
Those deaths were charged upon the two men,
but were not provea as specially their
doing. It was a question whether their eas 3
came under the benefits of the amnesty de?
creed by General Dulce shortly after his arri?
val hero. The lawyers o. tho prisoners submit?
ted that the amnesty was written in the morn?
ing before the affair at the Puente had oc?
curred. The officers of ino government replied
.that it was not in force till its issue In the offi?
cial gazette at four in the day; and so, between
tweedledum and tweedledee, tho lives of these
Cubans were spirited .off. The trial was full
and long, and about os fair as any trial of Cu?
bans by Spaniards can be at this time. The
general fact is that the txeoation was political; ;
the men were not put to death for murder, but i
for treason. A feeble attempt hod been made :
to rescue Leon from the law, on the ground
that he was a citizen of the United States, but .
it failed from want of proof.
It is usual in Havana to garrote at seven or
eight in the morning. This time the cruel per?
formance'did not begin till about eleven. The :
suspicion occurs that the authorities designed :
reserving it to so late an hour to give it the
utmost publicity and effect, whatever might ba >
the consequences to an excitable and injured
people. A very great crowd, on foot and in i
carriiges, had gathered around the hollow
square of soldiery encompassing the platform
of tho garrote, which, as usual, was set up in 1
the Punts adjoining the prison, and quite near
the ssa. Leon and Ms?dina, robed m white,
were conducted toward the garrote. A Spanish
paper says that a prisoner oharged with treason <
in the Villanueva affair, called out to one of
the condemned, os they were leaving the
prison, "Remember, Leon, your promise 1" Ar?
rived on the platform, Leon begged to say a few
words, and leave was grao ted to him, accord?
ing to tho Spanish WS?s, under plea that they i
were to be words of c^.-tntion and farewell; i
but this story ls nor yet? verified. Leon began
a speech trott soon grew bold and defiant in i
' the extreme. He said' that though he stood ;
there, doomed as a ci i initial, he died for his
country, and was gobjg to glory. He might
Eorish, but the insurrection would not die with ;
im, and now he felt suce of the triumph of :
his cause, " Fioa Oubx Ubre !" * Viva inde?
pendencia V These were the last words the
brave man uttered. Nothing could exceed the
scornful and defiant abandon of some portions .
of bis speech. He held his bead up proudly i
and smiled, and almost? laughed out in the face
of the death for which he wished to show a ;
contempt as unmistakable as that which he ;
felt for hts armed executioners. The Volun?
teers guarding the platform tried to drow? his
voice with oheers for Spain and cries of death
to traitors, but, maintaining his bravado to the
last, Leon shouted bis grito over their heads
to the crowd beyond. It was heard and caught
up while the executioners were carrying -him
to the chair of the garrote, and placing the
iron collar around nie neck preparatory to
working the horrible screw at the back of it
which was tc gi vo h im sudden death. A shot was
?reiL and a unban iou dead near a volunteer.
Loud and frenzied ohoering went up from a
multitude of the common class of spectators,
white Cubans, mulattoes and negroes, while
this was taking place. Some cried, ' Viva Cu?
ba libre 1" and others, "Viva C?spedes !" and
"Muera Espana I" and tho volunteers replied
by shouts and shots. Cubans in the crowd who
hod arms are said to have discharged them,
and one volunteer fell. The volunteers say, more?
over, that shots were fired from o ne of the neigh?
boring houses whiob they visited, bayoneting
several of the inmates, and, as is also reported, a
woman. Ail the soldiers, exeepiting the square
of volunteers near the garrote, who maintain?
ed their position with an unusual and sinister
forbearance, broke ranks and oharged upon
the crowd with sabres and bayonets. Three
or four black men and mulattoes were dread?
fully mangled in the fury with which they re?
venged themselves upon the respected portion
of the defenceless multitude. The most omi?
n?os sign of the affray was that the artillery?
men belonging to the regular anny, and be?
lieved to be too well disciplined to butcher
without orders, drew their swords Sod cu; up
those within reach. No one is at present sure
that more that seven persons were killed by
the troops. A great many must have been
hurt by brfng bay meted, or shot Cr run
over. The flight of people and carriages
from the seme was as fearful as the scene
itself. For a .-nile up to the Theatre Tooon the
great Prado of Isabel, one of the finest drives
in the world, was crowded with fugitive drivers.
. A few wounded were borne by in carriages, and
among those on foot were excited men with
? pistols in their hands, whom no volunteer took
the trouble of arresting. While the turmoil
was goiDg on, tbe two men at the garrote had
been bound to their seats and put to death by
the turning of <he bron screw. From noon to
sundown the dead men. white-shrouded and
white-capped, sat rigidly in their seats, a
ghastly spectacle for the entire eity. But
more Cubans were executed than tho daring
Leon and his equally fearless companion Ma?
dina, and so the whole of Havana feels to-day.

This oase come here by appeal from the Cir?
cuit Court of the Southern District of Missis?
sippi. A petition for the writ of hateas oorpus
was preferred in that court by the appellant,
alleging unlawful restraint by military force.
The writ was issued, and a return made by tho
military commander, admitting the restraint,
but deuying that it wa? unlawful. It appeared
that the petitioner was not in the military ser?
vice of the United States, but was held in ens
tody by military authority for trial before a
military commission on a charge founded on
tne publication of articles alleged to he libel?
lous, in a newspaper of which he was the edi?
tor. .Upon the hearing, the petitioner was re?
manded to tho military custody; but opon his
prayer. an appeal was allowed him to this court,
and upon his fiting the usual appeal bond for
costs he was admitted to -bail upon recogni?
zance, with sureties conditioned for his Tutore
appearance in the Circuit Court to abide and
perform tho final judgment of this court. A
motion to dismiss this appeal was made here
at the lost term, and, after argument, was de?
nied. A fud statement of the ease made will
be found m the report of tho decision, and it
is therefore unnecessary to repeat it here.
Subsequently the case was argued with great
ability and thoroughness upon the merits, and
was taken under advisement by the court.
While it was thus held, and before conference
as to the deoislon propor to be made, an oct
WM passed by Congress, returned with objec?
tions by the President, and fepassed by the
constitutional majority, which, it is insisted,
tr?kes fro:n thia court Jurisdiction of the appealfl
The second section of this act is as follows :
J.*.i bi it further i-mHtf, Thai so muon or tic act I
approved February 5,1807, entitled "Aa act to amend
an aot to establish tbo judicial courts of the United
otates, approved September 24, 1789," as authorizes
aa *pp*ak from the judgment of the Circuit Court to
the Supreme Court of tho United States, cr the exer?
cise of auy such jurisdiction by said Supreme Court
en appeals which have been or may hereafter be
taken, bo, and tho same is hereby, repealed.
The attention of the court was directed to
this statute at the last term; bub counsel hav?
ing expressed a desire to be heard in argument
upon its effect, and tho Chief Justice being de?
tained from his place here by his duties in tho
Court of Impeachment, tho case was continued
under advisement. At this term we havo
heard argument upon the effect of the repeal?
ing act, and will now dispose of the cane.
Tho first question is necessarily that of ju?
risdiction; for if the act of Marc li,.?1868, takes
away the jurisdiction defined by' the act of
February, 1867, it is useless, if not improper,
to enter into any discussion of other questions.
It is quite true, as was argued by the counsel
for tho petitioner, that the appellate jurisdic?
tion of this court is net denved from acta of
Congress. It is, strictly speaking, conferred
by tue constitution. But it is conferred "with
such exceptions and under such regulations as
Congress shall make." It is unnecessary to
consider whether, if Congress had mado no
exceptions and no regulations, thiB court might
not havo exercised general appellate jurisdic?
tion under niles presented by itself; for among
the earliest acts of Congress, at ils first ses?
sion, was the act of September 24., 1789. to es?
tablish the judicial courts of the United States.
?'hat act provided for the organization of this
court, and presented regulations for the exer?
cise of ite jurisdiction. The source of that
jurisdiction, and tho limitations of it by tho
co UH ti tut ion sud by tho statute, have been on
several occasions subjects of consideration
here. In the case of Dnroussean vs. Tho Uni?
ted States, particularly, tho whole matter was
carefully considered, and the court held that
while "the appellate powers of this court are
not given by tho judicial act, but are given by
the constitution," they are nevertheless "lim?
ited and regulated by that act, and by such
other aots as have been passed on the subject."
The court held, further, that the judicial act
was an exercise of the power given by the con?
stitution to Congress "of making exceptions to
tho appellate jurisdiction to the Supreme
Court." "They have described affirmatively,"
said the court, "its jurisdiction, and this
affirmative description has been understood to
imply a negative on the exercise of such appel?
late power as it is not comprehended within it."
The pziuciple that the affirmation of jurisdic?
tion implies the negation o? all such jurisdic?
tion not affirmed having been thus established,
it was an almost necessary consequence that
acts of Congress providing for the exercise of
jurisdiction should come to he spoken of as
acts granting jurisdiction, and not as aots
making exceptions to the constitutional grant
of it. The exception td the appellate juris?
diction in the case beforeus, however, ia
aot an inference from the affirmation ol other
appellate jurisdictions. It is made in terms.
A provision of law affirming the appellate ju?
risdiction of this court in cases of /tabeas cor
Eus is expressly repealed. It is hardly possi
le to imagine a plainer instance of positive
exception. We aro not at liberty to enquire
into the motives of the legislature. We can
only oxamine its power nuder the constitution,
and the power to make exceptions to tho ap?
pellate jurisdiction of this court is given by
express words. What, then, is the effect of
the repealing act upon tho case before us ?
We cannot doubt as to this. Without jurisdic?
tion the court cannot proceed at all in any
canse. Jurisdiction is power to deolara the
?aw, and when it oe???? to th? eely func?
tion remaining to the court is that of announc?
ing the fast and dismissing the cause. And
this is not less clear upon authority "than upon
principle. Several casos were cited by the
counsel for the petitioner in support of the po?
sition that jurisdiction of this case is not affec?
ted by the repealing act, bat none of them, in
our judgment, afford auy support to it. They
are all casos of exeroise of judicial power by
the legislature, or of legislative interference
with the courts in the exercise of continuing
jurisdiction. On tho oex- baud, the general
rule supported by the best elementary writers
is that "when an act of the l?gislature is re?
pealed it must be considered, except as to the
transactions passed and closed, as if it never
existsd," and the effect of repealing acts upon
Baits under aots repealed has been determined
by the adjudication of this court. The su J
joot waa fully considered in Morris vs. Crooke -
and more recently in Insurance Company vs.
Ritchie, in both of which oases it was held that
no judgment could be .rendered in a snit after
the repeal of the aet nuder which it waa
brought and presented. It is quite clear,
therefore, that this court cannot proceed to
pronounce judgment in this case, for it has no
longer jurisdiction of the appeal; and judicial
duty is no less fitly performed by declining un- j
authorized jurisdiction than in exercising
firmly that which the constitution and th?
laws confer- Oonrjooi seems tc hare E'apposed,
if effect he given to the repealing act in ques?
tion, that the whole appellate power of the
court ia oases of habeas corpus is denied. But
this is an error. The act of 1868 does not ex?
cept from that jurisdiction any other cases
and appeals from circuit courts nuder the act
of 1867. It does not affect that jurisdiction
which waa previously exercised. The appeal
of the petitioner in this ease must be dismissed
for want of jurisdiction.

[From the Chesterfield Democrat |
Some of our readers may not know that his
insulted Excellency replied to the article of THE
CHAIILESTON NEWS, in regard to the organiza?
tion of negro militia, flatly denying that any
order was issued for the enrollment. Unfor?
tunately for the Governor, the enrolling officer
at Abbeville, one Gunin by name, comes to the
rescue of his chief and says just en nigh to
prove that either the Adjutant-General's De?
partment was in operation before it was open?
ed, or his offended majesty Ti*+??*?'? zs. order
emanating from himself which he now claims
had never been issued. Tho fact is, in our
humble judgment, TUB CHARLESTON NEWS is
entitled to the whole credit of inducing an
abandonment of the mischievous design by
its timely and manly protest. No. one can read
the whole correspondence which has been call?
ed ont on this subjeot without coming to the
same conclusion.
[From the Abbeville- Proas.]
In another column we publish the comments
of the CHAIILESTON NEWS upon Gnffin's lotter,
showing hew entirely irreconcilable are its
a ta teniente with the positions assumed by Gov?
ernor Bcott. The points made by the editor
are well taken; the issues clearly presented;
and tho conclusions seam to bc irresistible. As
THE Maws expresses it, "if Guffln bc right,
Soott is wrong; and ii Bcott bc right, Guffin in
wrong.' But whatever bc doubtful, this mnoh
is certain-admitted in Griffin's letter and pat?
ent in every act-that he exercised the author?
ity, whether lawfully or not, to raise a com?
pany. Agencies the most effectual; appeals the
most irresistible were employed; a company
of sixty-five men was raised; and but for
the timely interposition of others to arrest
the work, labor wonld have been disorganized,
anda bloody conflict inaugurated. Gnffin's
aot contemplated no mere enrollment. He
wanted a company for actual work-"short,
sharp and decisive-he employed the most
speedy means to raise it, and did raise it. His
Statement? sro consistent with his acts; but
both word and deed are irreconcilable with the
positions of Governor Scott. It is a matter Of
no concern to us who is right and who is
wrong. We are willing to let the matter rest,
and trust that we may never again have the
disagreeable provocation and the unpleasant
task of reviving lt.

Chesterfield.
The Ch era w Democrat notices an ingenious
attempt to swindle the liquors dealers of that
Elace. Some sharper offered^ a barrel for Bale
om the bung of which brandy of good quality
was drawn, while from thc ginolet hole at
either end the dearest and most innc cent
well water was obtained. On offering bis
liquor for sale, ho drew from the bung a small
eample, which pleased the purchaser at $3 25
pe gallon; but when he attempted to gauge it
to asjeertain tho outage, the rod would only go
straight down, and not entirely down at that.
This was strange, and excited suspicion, and
upon examination it was discovered that a tube
waa fixed in the barrel just under the bung
which wpuld n-)t bold a quart. This was filled
with the real simon puro article, while the bar?
rel itself contained the very common and un?
popular beverage which may be had for noth?
ing ul any branch. The fellow decamped be?
fore his trick was fully exposed. He had pur?
chased e bottle of good brandy and poured a
part of it in at the bm g on the pretence of
giving his newly distilled article a better flavor.
When suspicion was somewhat ar eua ed, he
put on a bold face and offered to sell at $2 and
draw it off by tho gallon, but took care not to
be present at the drawing.
