COLUMBIA, S. C. -:-: Sunday Horning June 20, 1888. The trial ot Richardson and Groy,, members of tho Legislature, (both ne? groes,) for the murder Of Dallas Smith, bas been concluded, mid their prompt acquittal by a jury of twelve negroes been declared, The facta of this murder have bean sifted au two occasions;, tho. tyrst of which ut last term of court prov? ing a mis-trial, i We do not propose in this second- trial to consider tho testi? mony, its weight or directness, its nature or conclusiveness, the guilt br innocence of the accused. As a public record in its entire bearing, it is open to the scrutiny of all; but it lies in our province to com? ment upon the oharacter and qualifica? tions of these twelve negroes in their capacity as jurors; to estimate and do termino upon the grave issue of life and death. "Coming events cast their shadows before them, " and the empan? eling of twelve negroes-the foreman selected probably in deference to his superior intelligence-whom we know to bc ignorant and illiterate, was amply suf? ficient to d?termine, in onr opinion,-the manner in which the verdict would fall. It was so complete an axiom, so clear a de? duction, that ire hazard the assertion that all believed the verdict to be a foregone conclusion. In this trial, such questions of evidence, such contradictions of loca? tion and position of witnesses, suoh com? plicated technicalities arose, that we deem it a fair inference that their determina? tion-one requiring nice discrimination and well-balanced judgment-was immea? surably beyond the intelligence and com? prehensions of this choseu twelve. Their gross incompetency, the blind allegiance of the negro to his raoo and oolor, and the claims of party, were so many land? marks to show what result would inevi . tably fellow. Whether Richardson was guilty or not, we hold that the negro jory who decided the issue was utterly and thoroughly un fit to pronounce in judgment. We do not touch the conduct of the case, the management of the . attorneys or the charge of the Judge; wo simply assert and maintain that in such a grave and solemn issue, involving intricate details of law and evidence, calling forth the most delicate exercise of nice and accu? rate judgment; with the sign-posts of the previous trial before them, that the provision of a negro jury to re-try this case, pointed clearly to the nature of the verdict. In.any event, tho empanneling of such a jury was disastrous to the cause of justice, and the truthful inves? tigation of a great crime. Tho appoint? ment of this jury, might have been legal -i. e., might have been in accordance with some supposed hue recently enacted by some3supposed authority in South Carolina.' , But a law that leads to such results is simply a monstrosity, and the authority which called it into being a patent enormity against all good govern? ment, the peace of society, the integrity of the great principles of the law, and a flagrant outrage upou tho people of South Carolina, Tho trial itself, as soou as the jury was selected, (according to the law, ?as we are assured,) Was regarded .as a sham, and some, at least, of the counsel engaged, abandoned the grave issue tc its certain fate-ct verdict of "not Quilty." Csu it be possible that in the 19th cen? tury, aud in an enlightened country, nothing cnu bo done to roll back the black race, with its auxiliaries, composed of Northern adventurers and Southern renegades, from overwhelming right, justice, law, and the very life and boiug of our Stato and people? A VARIED SPECTACLE.-While thc Yankees aro congregated in Bostou bj the thousands to Bing of "peace," th? Government is putting three State: under martial law, and doing what il can to Africanize the rest. The day foi that "jubilee" has evidently not yet ar rived. The Savannah Republican advisei the hub-ites to take cure of tho "Coli senm" for some ten years to como, anc the blows upon the "anvils" may bi lighter than those upon the people. THE SOUTH CAROLINA TREASURE.-I appears from tho statement of au cx-offi cer of the 20th corps, published in i Western paper, that the collocted trou sure, jewelry, ko., recently examined anc invoiced at the Treasury Department and which attracted a good deal of no tic at the time, was formerly the propert; of citizens of Camdon, South Carolina and that the gold and silver, as woll a the principal portion of the Confederate notes and bonds, belouged to the oh Camden Bank, and was captured durinj the war. The whole lot, it is thought would not bring $5,000. Rev. Joseph Cross, D. D., formerly o ?ho Methodist Church, South, but not of the Protestant Episcopal Church, hs been called from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, t the Rectorship of St. John's, Bu fla lc New York. Th* Ru ?alan Czar to the American Prc "Alt the diner g .Governor, Oe?, m PhAdolp^b? on Sattrd?ay,?riot to tap departtfie fonjtussia, Co?nt Bodi scoe Charge IT Affaires. of Lthe .Ruasiau ?egktion, s?i*4huT th4- nfmp^tta af. his Government during our late rebellion were with the Federal Government, and read a letter from the Czar expressing his gratification at the success of the Union arms, and the . election of Gen. Grant t? tho Preeittfney." .-?There was- ?. tine when the United. States did uo^ p.osauss the sympathies of any despotic powter on the face* ofjVthe globe, and did not pavo to possess them. There was a time, when her very name vas distasteful to ?neb .govern men ts, and her mero existence was regarded as u threat. But then her people were free, and there was not within her borders ono man dissatisfied with the form of govern? ment. We had no "rebellion" to crush out, no subject provinces to grind dowu to the earth. We had no Poland or Ire? land of our own; no penal colony for political offenders; no tyrants, conse? quently, no assassins. There was no point of resemblance between us and Russia; our principles and our paths were different; our symbol of govern? ment was tho ballot-box, hers the kuont; her method of extension was by subju? gation, ours by annexation. Now, we are not so far apart; we have narrowed the distance considerably, and a neigh? borly feeling has sprung up between ns, as was natural. She sympathized with us in our efforts to destroy republican? ism, by striking ot its corner-stone, the consent of the governed. She admired our precocious maturity in oppression, the ease with which we took up h Gr role, and the masterly manner in which we played it; Her sympathies were with us. Why not? She decided controversies by the sword: so did we. "There's sympa? thy." She ruled the conquered with a rod of iron: so did we. "More sympa? thy." She established "order" in Po? land: we "reconstruction" in tho South. Could there be better grounds for sym? pathy? Of course, she sympathizod with us, We were making imperialism 'pos? sible, we were breaking ground for it on every battle-field, from Bull Run to Ap? pomattox. Of course, Russia is gratified at the election of General Grant, for the pre? ponderance of the military element is ever dangerous to liberty and republi? canism. Neither can exist under the shadow or the shelter of the bayonet. And at the present momeut tho bayonet is supreme in this "laud of light and law," as Whittier calls it, for teu States aTe wholly ruled by it, aud law is silent. Whoever would see the apothegsis of force has but to look Southward, and he will behold it perfect in every detail. Well mny our ally, the Czar, be grati? fied ! Well may every lover of despot? ism in the old world o"r the new chuckle at the spectacle we present! Treason tc the country openly preached under the name of imperialism f And the prinoipa] organ of the party that made such o thing possible can soo no remedy for the disease, no way of averting thc evil, but by assassination. Certainly, if a Caesar, why. then a Brutus, too. Bot why 8 Brutus? Our list of worthies require* uo Brutus to moho it perfect, and thc revolutionary fathers left no opening foi a Brutus, for they left no opportunity for a Ctesar. That's the only safe plan that's the plan wo advocate; that's thc plan the Democracy of this country wil see carried out, though iu the prosecu tion of it they do not expect the **sym pathies" of Russia, or any other despot ism.-Metropolitan Record. THE NEWS PROM CVRA.-The advico; from Cuba, by mail and telegraph, con tain some important points of news While the revolutionary volunteers ii Havana have evideutly failed in tin principal part of their scheme, which r a to establish a government of their owu with but slight dependence on the Spau iah crown, they have endeavored ti exhibit a new energy in government, b; ordering the troops throughout the por tions of the island they occupy to arres all suspicious persons. This, by fillinj the prisons with persons who nre oui; suspected of disaffection, eau have bu one result to increase the embarrassment of the colonial government. The detail from the seat of military operations shov no important success on the part of th Spaniards, while the patriots havo sue ceeded in cutting the railroad betwoei Nnevitas and Puerto Prinoipo, and Gene ral Quesada is pressing closely the sieg of the latter city. This general seems ti be so well satisfied with the supplies b has lately received, that ho promises t be in Havana by the middlo of Augusl Operations seem to have subsided in th Eastern Departmentr aud Count Valma seda, who still remains at Bayamo, ha spread his troops out in several neighboi iug cantonments for the purpose of sm ing them from disease and holding large extent of oountry.

Miss Annie Surrntt was married on the 17th in Washington, at St. Patrick's Church, to Mr. Wm. P. Taney, a chemist employed in the Surgeon-General's omeo. The happy couple started immediately on a bridal tour North. The bride ap? peared in better health than she has enjoyed for years. On Tuesday the supply of .strawber? ries waa the largest ever known in Sew York. The min checked the sale of them, and the market was perfectly glut? ted. Prices touched ten cents a quart for good qualities. In the afternoon the common average sold as low as six cents. Whole cargoes of Norfolk berries were thrown into the river. During the last thirty days, according toa Texas paper, the Indians have de? stroyed and stolen moro property and killed more persons on the frontier of that State than during any similar period since Texas was settled. The result is attributed to the withdrawal of troops from the borders and stationing thom m tho interior. A terrino rain-st?rm visited Western North Carolin;', on Sunday night, which caused destructivo freshets throughout Ired ell and Davis Counties. Mills, bridges, fences and crops were washed away. The Western North Carolina Railroad was injured so that travel will be suspended all this week. The damage is os ti muted at $500,000. Lieutennnt-Goyernor Dunn, (colored,) of Louisiana, and three members of the Metropolitan Police Board of New Or? leans have been imprisoned and rined .BlOO each for contempt of Court.

"A legion of male artists, distinguished for daring and agility," will join their emi? nent services; whilst a most extensive menagerie, trained horses, and clowns, brimful of rich humor, will fill up the little gaps in the evening's performance, left open by the above named perform? ers, or the corps of musicians and come? dians, who engage to furnish tho audi? ence and spectators with "floods of harmony and acceptable facetire." "The grand street procession" is anuounced "to eclipse in gorgeous display" any? thing seen before, including Casteilo, we presumo, and his Bactrian camels. The turning loose of Bengal tigers, lions and leopards may be a novol fea? ture-indeed, we may say it is-and add that is the only feature of which we do not approve; our appreciation of a lion aud the royal Bengal-there is no reason, too, why the leopard may not be includ? ed-is greatly enhanced by viewing them safely confined in a well-secured cage; aud we confess to a preference to seeing them there, rather thau loose iu the streets of Columbia. Colonel Ames de? scribes himself a "Southern man," and certainly his conduct in our sister city Atlanta marks him ns of our kith and kin; as the Colouel generously bestowed the proceeds of one of his entertainments upon the "Ladies' Memorial Association" of Atlanta-a graceful charity and com? mendable liberality which should be? speak him a kiud recoptiou everywhore in tho South.
