He read the rules prescribing the duties ol the grand jury, and Impressed upon them the solemn obligations they imposed upon each juror. They should discharge their duty with courage and integrity, and not be deter red from their duty by fear or favor. The evi? dence upon which they framed indictments should be complete and satisfactory, and they should accuse no man without proper regard for the law, and should not be actuated to pre? sent any one from enmity. Everything should be done by the Juries for the public good, and la the deliberation of their dury neither a friend nor an enemy should be considered. They should be thoroughly persuaded of the real merita o? each case before passing upon it. Probabilities shonld not enter Into the delib? erations of jurors. He said that he would not touch npon matters that were not before him, but contine himself to the special matters In? troduced by the district attorney, which con? sisted of alleged violations of the internal revenue law, pccto.flce law and the law of mutiny.

THE K?-KL?X PRISONERS.-TWO more pris? oners, -' Hughes and - Hawkins, from Union County, arrived here yesterday from Columbia, where they have been confined since the last session of the United States Court, Most of the prisoners and witnesses were transferred yesterday from the County Jail to the House of Correction. Fifteen of the prisoners, however, petilioned to remain in the county jail, preferring rather "to en- j dure the ills they had than fly to others that j they knew not of," and their request was granted." CRUMBS.-The Savannah and Charleston Railroad Company stock advertised by H. H. DeLeon was sold yesterday morning at from $4 62* to $5 25 per share. Fair weather and easterly winds is the pleasant prophecy of the weather clerk to? day. The delegates from this State to the Na? tional Colored Men's Convention leave this morning for New Orleans." Hook and Ladder Company No. 3 last Tues? day evening elected the following officers: W. T. Elfe,foreman; Thos. Osborne, assistant fore? man; R. C. Brown, secretary; A. V. '"rodie, treasurer. Each company of the Steam Fire Depart? ment is requested to send a committee ol' three to meet at the hall of HooL and Ladder Company, No. 2, next Tuesday t ' ling, on important business. IMPORTANT TO CIGAR DEALERS. How the Unnrary are Entrapped- Be wa rc ot the Informers. Yesterday morning, John Law, a well-known dealer of this city, was brought before the United States commissioner charged with having sold an old cigar box upon which the revenue stamp had not been destroyed. The fact of the selling was established; butas lt also appeared from the evidence that the box had been unknowingly sold by a clerk, and in the absence and without the knowledge of Mr. Law, the latter was discharged. On the day preceding, Mr. J. H. Doscher was al60 brought before the commissioner on the same charge, and having no excuse but his Ignorance of this piece of statute law, he was bound over for trial at the present term of the Circuit Court. The Informer in both cases was Lieutenant A. E. Phillppy, the ex chief of detectives. In the latter case it was shown that he went to Mr. Doscher's store and asked for the cigar box. The law upon this point is explicit In forbid? ding any one to eel for dispose of oldxigar or tobacco boxes witcout first obliterating or destroying the revenue -stamp upon it; and when such a case, however trifiiug, Is brought before a commissioner, be has no choice but to bail or commit the offender for trial. As this provision of the law may not be general? ly known to shopkeepers, they are liable to harassing prosecutions, as In the case of Mr. Doscher, when they are entrapped Into thus committing themselves by informers. Of these there are many, who, catching up some point like this, go about on the watch to take advantage of the ignorant or unwary. Keep a lookout for them. PERSONAL.-Colonel John S. Cotbran, of Abbeville, S. C., is in the city and staying at the Mills House. Miss Lydia Thompson and Beven of her blonde burlesquing beauties are blooming at the Mills HouBe. _ IMPROVEMENT.-The old wooden two-story building on King street, adjoining the new German Church, on the north Bide, ls being rapidly pulled down. This greatly Improves the appearance of the church from the street, while lt does away with the danger of fire, Ac, from the proximity of tbls wooden tinder? box. TAMPERING WITH LETTERS.-M. ^Fletcher Horne, assistant postmaster at Timmonsville, in Darlington County, was brought before United States Commissioner Porteous yester? day, charged with violating the postoffice law by detaining and opening a letter containing money, passing through his office. The pris? oner was bound over for trial at the present term of the Circuit Conrt. To BE LOOKED INTO.-The death of the little foundliog, which took place on Tuesday, the day succeeding the night on which it was left on the steps of the porter's lodge at the Or pbanhouse gate, is to be investigated. The child was thought tobe about ten cays old, and the physician who attended lt gave a cer? tificate that it died from exposure. The body was disinterred yesterday from Potters' Field where it was burled, and an Inquest will be he'd upon lt to-day. CLUBS AND STARS.-Annie Heyward, col? ored, lodged for raising a disturbance in Elli? ott street, near Church, wt sentenced to pay a fine of one dollar or go to the House of Cor? rection for ten days. H. Harboy, arrested on the charge of dis? turbing the peace of a trial justice's office, was discharged. . Two intoxicated persons, who viere found lying in the rain on the streets, were taken to the Guardhouse. One excused himself, and the other paid up a fine of one dollar. Ten EPISCOPAL ORPHAN SCHOOL.-Rev. A. Toomer Porter acknowledges the receipt for the Orphan School-house of fifty dollars from a father and son, ten dollars from a Irlend and five dollars from a friend, in response to a number of circulars sent out by him. These are generous responses, but there are still many of the recipients who have not been heard from, and who would, by following the liberal examples above given, be conferring a substantial benefit upon a most deserving In? stitution, and aiding the falheiless children of our State to acquire such an education as without the agency of this school they would never be able to obtain. SALES OF REAL ESTATE.-The following pieces of real estate were sold yesterday morning by H. H. DeLeon at auction : Building lot at the corner of Charlotte and Washington street?, forty feet In front by one hundred and fifteen feet deep, for $G00-one half cash, and the balance in one year.

THE LICENSE LAW.-Since the first of April a large number of lipense? have been issued on application in the city, nod the officials charged with the granting of the same are still busily employed. As some doubt sllll appears to exist as lo the time that is to be allowed for the taking out ot licenses, it may be well to repeat the notice already giveu in THE NEWS, that all persons coming under the provisions of the license act will be allowed until the 25th of the present month in which to take out their licenses. At that time all who have failed to comply with the law will be reported to the attorney-general or the cir? cuit solicitors, who are required by the law to prosecute forthwith the dc.inquent parlies. THE LYDIA THOMPSON TROUPE. A Crowded Audience and a. Brilliant Initial Performance. The beautiful burlesquer of Miss Lydia Thompson's new troupe took simultaneous possessio* of the Academy of Music and the hearts of its crowded audience at their initial performance last evening. The merry traves? tie upon the doleful legend of Blue Beard was Irresistibly comical, and, with Its rollicking humor, Its excruciating puns, and its accom? paniments of charming dresses and lovely forms, lt brought down the house. Miss Lydia Thompson was the Jauntiest of sous-lieuten? ants; MisB Eliza Weathersby, the Jolliest of O'Shabacacs, and Miss Nellie Eamp the pearl of pages. We give place aux dames, as ls our duty, but the success of ihe evening was won by Willie Edouin, the Heathen Chinee, whose euchre scene from the tale of Truthful James was applauded to the echo. To-night will be given the legend of the love-lorn Lurline. EASTER ELECTIONS. TRINITY CHURCH, ABBEVILLE. Wardens-Wm. H. Parker, Edwin Parker. Yesirymen-Armlstead Burt, Jas. A. Norwood, J. T.
