THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
The Judicial Elections-The Investi
Sating Business-Legislative Business
i Brief.
[FROM OCR OWN CORRESPONDENT.]
Co.'.rum A, S. C., December 10.
Another leglslaUve event has taken place,
and we have a justice of the Supreme bench and a
j ndge of the First Circuit elected. It was all done
as smoothly and quickly as the twinkling of an
eye. The matter needs no comment but this :
The election showed that a certain amount of de?
cency has begun to creep into this rotten Legisla?
ture. The election for a judge last winter, when
compared with this, will show what I mean, lt
is needless to refer to it; lt was disgraceful, and
that was enough. The election of yesterday
showed how easy lt is to carry a point when
every one ls of a mind.
JOK CREWS IN THE VENIRE BUSINESS.
At a late hour last night, Crews issued a sub?
poena on the sheriff of Richland county, as chair?
man of the investigating committee on Judge
Vernon's cafie. The shena this morning was on
his way to the Greenville depot, to take the Lau?
rens prisoners up the road to Judge Vernon, on a
writ of habeas corpus, when he was Interrupted
and brought up before the committee. It was
understood that this was only a dodge to prevent
the prisoners being taken before Judge Vernon.
Subpoenas have been also Issued by Crews for
Vernon and Sheriff Jones.
Jcs ls In business now, and feels highly elated;
-, bnt he may And himself in a bad box, for lt is ex?
tremely uncertain whether the House of itself has
any power to appoint such a committee.

UNITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT.
Presentment of thc Grand Jury.
The grand jury of the United States Circuit
Court, now sining at Columbia, appear to have
perrormed their duties in the most efficient and
complete manner. Arter the bills given in by the
district attorney hive been passed upon, they are
required to visit the different public buildings and
report their condition, and they have the privilege
also of presenting to the notice of the court any
public evils which In their estimation may re?
quire redress. The jury was composed of twenty
ro irmen, ten or whom, we learn, were Republi?
cans, and the following presentment which they
made to the court in regard to the election laws,
the employment of the military in ci?li ?lections,
the State constabulary, ?fee, ls worthy of profound
attention as the common opinion of disinterested
men of all parties :
PRESENTMENT OF THE CK AND JURY IN THE CIR?
CUIT COURT OF TUE UNITED STATES.
To the lion. George S. Bryan, District Judge of the
L'nited States fur the District of South Caro
Una:
In the exercise or the privilege or the grand
jury to make presentment to the court or such
matters as app ar to be public evils lu themselves,
or to require judicious legislation and amend?
ment, they would respectfully present:
1st. The present election law of South Carolina.
These laws are brought- to the attention or this
court because under them elections are held for
members or Congress, aud to that extent at least
are laws ot the United State?. The attention or
the grand jury has been called specially to these
election laws, by numerous cases which have been
brought before them at the present term for Ille?
gal voting, riots and conspiracy to Intimidate, and
other charges of offences committed for the pur?
pose of defeating the ballot.
The grand jury are constrained to believe that
the election laws have more to do with these dis?
turbances and these charges than any evil intent
ou the part of the citizens, whether white or
black. They are unfair, unequal, and tend to
breed discord and strife, and should at once be
amended, lt ls no new think'for disturbances or
the peace to occur at elections, but laws fnay be
so framed as to Irritate the citizen In the peaceful
exercise of hla right of PU muge. The present
laws, instead of hedging r round the ballot-box, .
leave the door open to ;raud, and In a warmly
contested election a disturbance of the public
peaoe seems to be Invited rather than prevented
by the laws themselves.
2<L 'Another fruitful source of mlschier ls the
employment of the military to superintend civil
elections. ?.'.The evils er ibis system (for lt ls rast
becou?lng a system throughout the whole coun?
try. North and South,) must at once suggest it?
self to any thinking or reasonable mind, lt ls
unconstitutional, it is unwise, lt ls the parent of
mischief.
The small military force usually employed for
the purpose would be utterly Insufficient and use?
less if the people were disposed to oppose and re?
sist lt. The military ro?-ce employed in South Ca?
rolina during the recent elections could have been
easily over<vbelmed in an hour. Waat good then
ls r.ccomplished ? They seem only to excite a
spirit of resistance and ?ad blood. Human na?
ture ls the same all over the world, and for the
military to toke the place of the civil arm of the
government, ts not only dangerous to the public
peace, but hazardous to political liberty. We
have been taught these lessons from the history
of the country whence we derive the principles of
our constitution aud most of our laws. The views
here presented, the grand jury are happy to see,
are endorsed by the highest military officers of
the United states, General Sherman and General
Halleck. The latter reports as follows:
..Where United States marshals and assistant
marshals call for military aid to execute the pro?
cess of the courts, there should be an order of
court authorizing such requisitions, on the
ground that no proper civil posse cometatus
could be obtained. It may be proper to
to remark in this place, that I have been assured
by Federal civil officers that the use of troops la
executing judicial process, and enforcing the
revenue and other civil laws, seems to increase
rather than dimmish the apparent necessity or re?
sorting t-> such force in civil matters. The ill
disposed become more and more exasperated by
bel?g c erced by a force which they thluk has
been unconstitutionally employed against them,
und the better disposed relax their efforts to pun?
ish bad crimes on the plea that this duty now de?
volves on the military. Hence, in the case of a
robbery, or a murder, there is a call for Federal
troops to arrest and guard the criminals. It is*,
therefore, a question well worthy or consideration,
whether the military in civil matter should not
oe limited to a few well denned cases, snch as
riots and Insurrections, which cannot be sup?
pressed by local and State authorities."
3d. There ls another evil of igreat magnitude to
which attention should be called. Reference ls
had as to what ls known as the constabulary
force of this State. This establishment has all
the objections urged against the military, wita
many additional ones. They have control of and
they distribute the arms belonging to the State,
and are themselves an armed force. They actu?
ally engage In electioneering, and in the night?
time they harangue ignorant crowds at secret
meetings. They are strangers to our people, and
Instead of being the preservers of peace, are the
instigators or unlawrnl and violent acts in many
cases. There ls no need of such a force in South
Carolina, and lt should at once be disbanded.
4th. The attentlmof the grand jury has been
called to the late riots which have occurred in
Laurens County. These unlawful acts are much to
be regretted, Hnd all good citizens should discon?
tinue such disorderly conduct. The chief causes
of these disturbances scm to be traced to the
political excitement attendant upon the late gen?
eral election, especially aggravated by the violent
conduct and the malicious and threatening
harangues of a few cvii-dlsposed persons of that
county. Such unwise, Intemperate and criminal
speeches to the more lgni rant class of the com?
munity merit not only disapprobation, but de?
serve to be punished, ir the arm or the law eau
reach the guilty parties. Some have been heard
to tell the colored people in public f-peeche3 that
they must use their fire-arms, and ir these railed
them, i hat a box of matches cost only five cents,
and these could be used to burn and destroy.
Thus, in open day, encouraging Incendiarism.
The unlawful and mischievous acts and laoguage
of such wicked 'cen are presented for the consid?
eration of those whose duty it ls to enforce the
law. The violent conduct of a few such men may
lead to acts of violence by many, and thus Injure
not only the good name, but the peace and pros?
perity or the State.
.5th. We have visited the county jail and the
State Penitentiary, according to the Instructions
or the court. We round everything in excellent
order, and the prisoners well kept on this head,
as the officers seem to discharge their duty, and
the prisoners to be provided fer properly and hu?
manely. Respectfully submitted.
S. MOXTCOMEKT, Foreman.

Wofford College, though never more fully at?
tended, ls almost entirely without an endowment
rund, it cdncittes a large number of students,
preparing for the ministry, and sons of ministers,
free of change, but in the absence of an endow?
ment, the faculty are compelled to look largely to
the church for their support. Earnest appeals
were made to the Conference by Dr. Whitefoord
Smith. A. A. Gilbert, Esq, and many others, to
rally to the support of this Important auxiliary of
church.
TheyConference men adopted a substitute for

The S nnday-M'linol-A n a i v e r H a. r y
Meetlng.
The attendance or the young people was fair
and much larger than the inclement state or .the
weather allowed one to expect. An address by
A. A. Gilbert, editor or the Sumter Watchman, to
the teachers and scholars of the Sunday-school.
Illustrating their respective aims and duties, was
listened to ?vii h much lnt'.-rest. It was followed
by a symoclic sermon, on the blackboard, by thc
Rev. John T. Wightman, from the text, liKeep thy
heurt with nil diligence, for out or lt arc the Issues
of life."
The heart, the ten arrows pointing at it, sym?
bolizing the violations of the ten comm- ndments;
thc shield of faith guarding lt, and v&rluus other
devices, all drawn upon the backboard, and
practically lllustra'icg Mie discour-e of the
preacher, made a vivid Impression upon the
minds of the youthful hearers, aud all regretted
when tbcgrowlng darkness, admonishing them
of the lateness or tue hour, brought his instruc?
tive ser mou to a close. Several hymns were
sung, which gave evidence or great attention aud
careful training among the children, and the as?
semblage was dismissed. The anniversary, al?
though not as well attended as was hoped fer,
owing to the weather, shows in the training and
preparation of the children how successfully the
dltferent Sunday-schools have worked during the
past year, and enables all the well-wishers or this
Dobie work to look forward with confidence to the
next Conference.

HEWS ABOUT COTTON.
NEW TORE, December ll.
The cotton movement for the week waa
enormous, botb in receipts and exports. Receipts
at all the ports 152,321, against 140,674 last week,
118,099 the previous week and 122,133 bales three
weeks since. These figures show that about one
third or the present crop has been marketed thus
early In the season. Exports from all the ports
102,564, against 58,350 bales, the corresponding
week lase year. Exports from all the ports for
the expired portion or the cotton year 020,371,
against 403.91S last year. Stock at all the ports
424,138, against 3ll,ooo bales last year. Stocks at
the interior towns 95,612, against 77,807 bales last
year. Stock at Liverpool 400,000. against 319,300
bales last year. Amount or American cotton
afloat for Europe 139,000, against 173,533 bales last
year. Advices from the South during the past
week generally reported the weather favorable
for picking cotton, and rapid prcgress has been
made in gathering. The extent or the crop ls
much discussed) but the number or bales will de?
pend somewhat upon the market value of the
plant, ir the present low prices should continue
to rule, then, undoubtedly, much cotton will be left
?.ingathered in the fields; but If an advance shonld
take place, picking will be cleaner, and the
amount of crop correspondingly increased.

THE ACCIDENT TO THE CHAMPION.
Fall Details of the Collidion.
The New Yonk Evening Post, of Wednesday,
brings us the following detailed account of the
collision at sea off Long Branch, on Monday, at
midnight, between the coastwise steamers Cham?
pion and Isaac Bell. It will be seen that lt veri?
fies the account we have already published.
The Champion was at the time on her way to
this city from Charleston, S. C., and carried a
cargo ot assorted merchandise and about fifteen
passengers. Nothing or any Importance occurred
during the voyage until the vessel arrived off that
part or the New Jersey coast known as the
Woodlands, about twenty miles sputh or Sandy
Hook, when a dr nae rog was encountered. The
vessel continued on her way to the city, but the
fog became so dense that the passage became
dangerous. The steamer's lights were unable to
penetrate the surrounding darkness, and to give
notice or their position to approaching v. ssels,
the whistle was blown continuously. The officers
were all on deck, and all hands were on the look?
out. Toward midnight the captain beard the
whistle or a steamer coming toward bim, and an?
swered with the usual signal to co to port.
Every effort was made to avoid the collision
that now seemed Inevitable, but without avalL
The vesse s approached each other, orders were
hurriedly given, directions were shouted from
one vessel to the other, but in the darkness and
confusion the words were lost. The engines of
both vessels were stopped, but the Impetus of the
Champion was so great that she struck the Isaac
Bell with terrific force on the starboard aide,
smashing her guards and carrying away her
wheelhouse.
Tho damage snsralned by the Champion is
slight in comparison with that inflicted upon the
Isaac nell. The Champion received the shock on
the port side of the bow and had a hole knocked
In her about eight feet long and four feet wide,
about six feet above the water Une, and also had
her bulwarks badly crushed and splintered. But
as all her Injuries were above water her condition
was not dangerous and her Balling capacities
were not Impaired.
The case was diff?rent with the Isaac Bell. She
left her dock Monday afternoon, and started on
her voyage South. Thc passage through the Nar?
rows and down the bay was as uneventful as
such passages usually are. and when the night
closed in, and the vessel stood out Into the open
sea, she encountered thc fog that caused her mis?
fortune. When off the Woodlands, Captain
Blakeman, who was on deck, heard the fog whis?
tle or the Champion, and answered lt. The en?
gines were slowed to one bell, and finally stopped.
The head light ol the approaching steamer was
seen about one point and a half on the starboard
bow, but the vessels were then so close together
thxt 1:0 effort on the part of either could avert
thc threatened colilslou. The Champion came
on and struck the Isaac BeU on the
starboard side, forward of the paddle. The
Iron bow ol the Champion ran along the side or
the vessel for a distance or nearly eight feet,
ploughing into the very timbers, and crushing
the outer planking into atoms. . The Champion
then glanced off, and struck the wheel-house, cut?
ting lt from the sides of the vessel, and.reducing
the Iron wheel within to a mere wreck. The bow
of the Champion crashed through the wheel and
struck the shaft with such violence as to bend lt,
and it must have been at this moment that her
own lnjjries were received. The wheel was al?
most cut off, and hnng from the shaft a shapeless
mass or wood and Iron. The Iron spokes were
bent up and knotted like a ball of wire; but
such was thc quality or the metal, that lt did not
break. Not a rivet was started, bot the entire
wheel, bent into a shapeless mass, clung to the
vessel's side. After the collision the vessels
separated, and both were stopped that their con?
dition might he examined. It was soon ascer?
tained that neither vessel was leaking, but the
Isaac Bell, being unable to use her machinery,
was taken In tow by the Champion, and conduct?
ed up to quarantine, where a tug-boat was pro?
cured and she was taken up to her dock. The
Isaac Bell had on board a mixed cargo and abon*.
seven passengers, all of whom were badly fright?
ened, but none or them injured. One of the
sailors, named Benjamin James, was KUI d. At
the time of the accident, he was leaning over the
rall, at the side of the wheel-bonse, and was
struck on the right shoulder by the bow bf the
Champion. His arm was completely severed
from his body, and fell Into the water. The crash
or the wheel-house Immediately followed, and the
entire mass, as lt went overboard, struck him,
throwing him to the deck a corpse. The body was
terribly mangled, and was taken up by his com?
panions and carried below.
The damage inflicted upon the Isaac Bell
amounts to about $20,000, and as the repairs will
take some lime, her cargo was immediately trans?
ferred to two other smaUer steamers, the Hatteras
and Niagara, which will sall South to-day. The
Isaac Beti la one or the largest steamers belonging
to the company, and her Joss at this season or the !
year ls severely felt.
The repairs on the Champion will not cost over
$1000, and she will be ready for sea again m a
short time.
AN ESCAPE FROM JAIL.
A Stampede of the Georgetown
Prisoners.
On Friday afternoon, thc 2d instant, there
was a general stampede of the prisoners confined
In the Georgetown Jail. The facts are as follows:
The jailor, J. M. Lesesne, colored, went to the
JaU and found that the large padlock on the
grated door opening upon the second floor of the
jail had been tampere 1 with. After giving the
prisoners, four negro men, their dluner, the Jailor
took a lock off one or the cells for the purpose of
fastening the door. Having done this, he came
down town to procure a large lock for the grated
door. But soon after he left, the prisoners called to
his wire and begged her ror some wood. Accord?
ingly ?ne unlocked the heavy iron door at the foot
of the steps leading to the second floor above, and
Biarted up with au armful of wood, but did not,
lt seems, lock the door after her. When she got
about half way up, and just opposite a window in
the wall, the prisoners came rushing down, and
the foremost one of them struck her a lick on the
left shoulder, which relied her In the recess or the
window. There bein* no further obstacle to their
escape, these black birds took their flight to the
outskirts of the town, and thence into the woods.
The Jailor, on being Informed of what had taken
place got a pistol, and Jumping on a horse, went
iii pursuit of his fleeing game. After riding some
distance, he overtook one of the number, whom
he ordered to halt, at the same time threatening to
shoot ir he did not, and did fire In the air. But
the rellow still kept on, and the Jailor seeing this
fired at him. as he says, and hit bim, and put
another ball through his hat. Bat notwithstand?
ing this jail-bird finally made his escape Into the
thicket, and, with the three others, ls stUl at
large. We were also informed that, when they
came running down the steps, one of them had
a club la his hand, and another a hatchet, and
that the wife of one of them hail frequently been
allowed access to her husband, on a pass from
the sheriff, Ur. Carr. The names of the escaped
prisoners are as follows: Martin Washington,
Thomas Gibson, Jeff Pinow, George Coben.

pS- A REVOLUTION IN COOKERY.
Since che introduction of the patent SEA MOSS
FARINE, a complete revolution has taken place
In that department' of cookery to which we owe
the luxuries of the dessert. The most delicious
blanc mange, Jelly, custard, Charlotte Russe, light
puddings, ?c., are produced from this palatable
nutriment, at abont one-third of the former cost.
A great economy of time as well as money ls
effected by its use. The preparations made from
lt are pronounced by physicians to be the best
possible diet for consumptives^ dyspeptics, and
persons Buffering from biliousness and general'de
blllty. Convalescents fatten on thom, and gain
rapidly In muscular strength aa well as m flesh.
The SEA MOSS. FARINE COMPANY, No. 63 Park
Place, New York, who are manufacturing this ar?
ticle from the best Irish Moss, in enormous quan?
tities, produce an array of .medical and general
testimony In Its favor which is perfectly over?
whelming, and must set all doubts of its superi?
ority as an alimentary staple, (If any exist,) en

^FAITH WELL FOUNDED.-JN OLD
times, at the commencement of every season, lt
was the fashion to take a strong cathartic as a
safeguard against a change of temperature. It
was a worse than senseless practice. The people
of our day understand the matter better. Instead
of depleting the system, they?relnforce IC In che
method they adopt they exhibit a wise discrimin?
ation. Instead of resorting to the vitiated stlmu
' lants of commerce, or any of the compounds de?
rived from th 3m, they put their faith lu the only
absolutely pure lnvlgorant procurable In the mar
kee-IIOSTETTER'S STOMACH BOTERS. Their
faith is well rounded. Never has any tonic medi?
cine been prepared with such*crapulous precision
and conscientious care. It Is a vegetable compound
of which every ingredient ls sound, w h olesome, and
medicinal in the true sense of the word. Now we
have three prominent national complaints. One
half of the adule population or the United States
suffer more or less, either from diseases of. the
stomach, derangement of the liver, or affections
of the kidneys. La no ocher land under Heaven
are these maladies so general as in this country,
and Hosteler's Bitters ls a specific for them all,
unless organic in their origin, and, therefore, be?
yond cure. And let those who are fortunate
enough to be exempt from them at present under?
stand one great fact, viz: That an occasional use
of this vitalizing tonic will as certainly preven t
them as the sun will prevent the earth rrom
freezing where Its genial beams descend.
