' ommi?m ^ c. --?-:-: . ? . . .. ?.>.-rr Wednesday brains, February 22 1571 Wo obsorvo in tho Charleston News, of the 20th instant, a communication from Judge W. M. Thomas, o? tbe Sixth Circuit, wherein lie makes a statement - of his connection with the caso of the Union prisoners called before him on a writ of habeas corpus. He refuses to bo made "tho scape-goat to bear tho respon? sibility of the Union troubles." After reviewing his official course in the pro? mises, he conclu doa thus: "Tho position of Judge at present iu thankless enongh, and if I have failed to discharge nay duty, I am ready to re? sign. I feel that I bavo dono all that was in my power, and if thero is a re? sponsibility anywhere, except on the armed band who violated the jail, it is not on me. "Who is responsible? It may be the Sheriff; it may be those who orgauized the militia in snob a way as to make it liable to such acts as commenced this carnival of blood, and now renders it inefficient as a posse. But I think the true cause will bo found in a constitu? tional deficiency, which occusious the apathy of leading citizens, to wit: taxa? tion and no representation. This is con? trary to ali republicanism, and should be removed by those in authority, by a ohange in tho Constitntion of the State, making a tax-paying qualification for one of the branches of the Legislature. This is a slow remedy for a bursting boil, but when the patient socs the physician apply the proper remedy, he'may not bo HO restless." In another place tho Judge expresses himself thus, referring to tho Union troubles: "My idea was (is) that thc dis? ease was constitutional and not local." "OCR COMMITTEE. "-The Laurensvillc Herald 6ays: This oommunity is naturally curious to know what has been accomplished by our recent mission to Washington. From what we have gathered from the gentlemen sent, we regard their visit to this "heart of the nation" as woll-timcd and promising important results, both now and in the futuro. In the first place, they were fortunate in securing an uninterrupted interview with tho President, of an hour or more, iu which ho accorded them n patient bearing to a long written document, pre? pared by the chairman, Col. W. D. Simpson. In this paper there was a ro viow of all the exciting causes, tho many aggravations, and the incendiary schemes and harangues which prepared the way for tho unfortunate occurrences of the 20th of October last. This was followed by a truthful statement of all tho facts of that affair, as well as the subsequent developments to thc present limo. With this paper were filod tho presentments of tbegratnl juries of Laurens and Ricb land Counties on the same subject, and tho famous, or rather infamous "Water? loo speech" of Joe Crews, with thc sig? natures attached. After some verbal in? quiries and explanations, the President received theso papers and promised to lay thom before the Investigating Com? mittee of the Senate. In this, tho maiu object of their mission, tho committee felt gratified at their success. In tho next placo, they were brought into free communication with Senator Bayard, thc D?mocratie member of thc Senate's committee on "Southern outrages." His opinion was that the raising of that com? mittee was a mer? party moro, aimed more particularly at North. Carolina aud Georgia, td force them back to tho Re? publican track. Ho said they were en? gaged with North Carolina at that time, and would probably devote the balance of tho session to that State. He thought that any effort to press upou their atten? tion any matter connected with our State would, j int then, be impolitic and ill-timed. He promised to give our committee due notice when thc proper timfl should arrive, so that thc right class of witnesses might bc summoned aud tho troth elicited. Ho, with many others, commended the manly spirit of our people in thus sending on to seek an investigation, rather than wait to be summoued us criminals to account for "outrages." And wo all know that this mission was not sent in the interest of any class or party, but that it was tho spontaneous effort, on tho part of all good citizens, to vindicate our noble old Stato from tho vile and mnlignant asper? sions of the traitors and foreigners in our midst. Besides these ranin results, the committee mot with many encourage? ments, und imparted much needed in? formation in their private and familiar intercourse with those in position, a de? tail of which would, of course, bo im? proper in a newspaper uccount. Theil chief encouragement was thc assurance from those who ought to know, that no thiug can bo more certain in tho future than the success of thc great Democratic party iu 1872. Let us look forwurd, thea, to that date, when the wholo nation will bo released from tho lunatic asylum into which it was thrown from the* con? vulsions of tho war. In South Carolina, there is u verj lugo majority of negroes. They art trained by Northern carpet-baggers one (jrunt's oilice-holders to volo tho Repub Hean ticket.

A bill to facilitate the punishment of crime was taken up and its discussion occupied the time of the House to thc hour for the meeting Of tho joint as? sembly, and afterwards till adjournment, at 3.30 P. M. Tb? Bowen Bignmy Caa?, lu view, not alone, of tho exhaustive ability with which this case was conduct? ed to its submission to the jury, but in consideration of the well-known circum? stances attending it, the publio bad a right to expect at tho hands of the jury a decisive verdict. In this expectation, however, they have becu disappointed. After thirty-six hours deliberation, they havo been unable to agree, and at tho opening of the court this morning, in answer io the usual inquiry, the foreman announced that there was no probability of their ugrcemcnt. The court express? ed great reluotauce in being forced to a new trial by tho disagreement of the jury, but did not instruct thom to return, in order that a verdict might bc reached. Judge Wylie thcrcupou, on the an? nouncement of the disagreement, dis? charged thc jury with tho remark that if thc prosecution failed to convict on the i evidence they hud produced, they could i not convict on coy evidence. If there i was ono bought juror on a pauel he i wouid be sufiicietil to defeat the con? scientious motives of tho rest. The ! testimony of tko wretches produced as j witnesses by the defence ought not to be believed, and ho saw no reason why the jury should disagree in this case. Mr. Riddle said lie. felt it his duty to : protest against tko Court using such lan I guage in reference to a case not disposed of. Judge Wylie .said he would retract no? thing, uud felt called upon to say what hu had said. Ile repeated that thc testi? mony of Wilkinson, that he hud married this woman, was enough to cause the jury not to herd it. Mr. Merrick said tho woman (Mrs. Parin s liowen) had told him that she was not married to Rowen. Mr. Harrington remarked that Rowen had admitted to him that he waa married lo her. Ho spoke of a warrant against j Wilkinson, and he would liko to know ! why ho had left so t-oou if he did not j fear thc consequences. I Mr. Merrick replied that he was not j responsible for tue witness, ne believed j if the defence had asked the Court to I instruct the jury that tho prosecution i had not made out a case, that the Court would have done so. Judgo Wy lio remarked that he would t havo probably done so if the motion had bcou mado at that time; but thc defence hud, by introducing evidence, opened thc door to rebutting testimony, aud da ! maged their case. District Attorney Fisher suggested, that as he had understood tho defend? ant's bail to bo insolvent, he desired, in tho dischargo of his official duty, that tho bail-bond be renewed or increased. Tho Court refused to make an order to that effect, saying that this case hud gonn far enough. Au animated ond somewhat exciting discussion ensued, very much out of the usual order of ?judicial dignity and decorum; whero J upon Mr. Riddle,: as tho Court thought, I added insult to injury, by moving au ad ? journmcnt. Judge Wylie desiri d the gentlemen j now to understand, if they never before j understood, that such a motion was at j any time a gross iusult to tho Court, j Rowcu's friend on tho jury is under? stood to be a deformed negro, who. it is wi ll known, was the "hanging-out" soli? tary man, who, in a previous case, bas prevented a conviction. It is proper now to make known thc fact, as alleged by authority of counsel, that Bowen admitted to tho District At? torney his marriage to Mrs. Parkes, and begged an "armistico" of a fow days, within whick time ho would show that ho had a divorce from Mrs. Parkes. This was assented to, and the prosecution waited before presenting the case to tho grand jury. At tho expiration of the time the so-called divorce was produced, but it showed dato September 5, 1870 live days after the solemnization of Bow? en's marriago with Mrs. Klug. Titus ends this farce until tho March term of tho Court at least-a term when, as suggested by District Attorney Fisher, Bowen may not bo forthcoming unless placed under additional security for his appearance. Ho mndo a motion to that ct?eot, which was overruled, tho Court remarking that this thing hud goue far enough; if the Government could not obtaiu a verdict on tho evidenco they had presented, they could on no other. About 1 o'clock this afternoon, Bowen was agaiu arrested ou a charge of marry? ing Mrs. King wlitrn ho had auotker wife living, to wit: Frances Hicks King, whom he is said to have married in 185*2, in Augusta, Georgia. This makes tkrec alleged living wives for Bowen tkat have turned up thus far. Tho warrant wus placed in the hands of Detective Clarvoe, of tho Metropoli? tan police force, for service. Detective Clarvje went to Mr. Bowen's residence about 2 o'clock and served tho warrant. Tho latter expressed no eurpriso other than to ask when thoy would cease com? ing ofter him, and went with the officer lo tho Police Court. I Washington Patriot. Thirty negroes have boen killed iu Brashear Parish, Louisiana, within the past two years. But three of these wero killed by while men, aud not a singlo negro murderer hus been punished.

AH the horns of the new moon, last night, wore elevated, we may look for a dry (?pull. Montgomery Moses, Esq., was elected Judge of the Seventh Judicial Circuit, yesterday, by the Legislature. Thu right man in the right place-A husband ut homo in the evening. St. Vuleutine's Day appears to have been a failure as compared with Ibo old time observance of tho lovers' annual festival. The utilitarian aspirations nnd eountiug-room philosophy of tho present age have done away with many of tho beautiful customs of more sentimental periods. People now make love iu too materialistic a manner to poy attention to amorous verses. Very hard cash or culinary qualities aro what they seek, and it is a diflicnlt thing to compose love poetry out of these material things. A tent located on Rnwls' lot, and oc? cupied ns a ferreotype gallery hy Messrs. Bassett & Simmous, was cut through on Monday night, and nearly the entire contents carried off. No clue to thc depredators. EXTENSION OF THE GREENVILLE AND COLUMBIA RAILROAD.-A bill bas been introduced iuto tho Legislature, praying for the privilege of extending tho road to Asheville, l>3' tho most direct nr:d feasible route-either from Greonvillo oi Spartnnburg, as may be deemed mos) desirable. This bill oski for assistance from the Stato to tho extent of SlO.OOt per mile, so that thc old road can be pul in compiulo order-new iron, etc. As il is a mcasuro which will, doubtless, re douud to tho benefit of tho Stato at large, tho bill should meet with but little opposition. A Western connection, r/V Asheville, is desirable, and tho sooner il is made tho better. With duo deference to the old Blue Ridge route, the new one eau be put through, while tho other i? being talked over. By the way, the Greenville Railroad Company have already contracted for over 4,000 tons o now iron, and arrangements aro beinf completed, by which a portion of th? old road bed will bo changed, and nev and moro desirable locations selected The road, hinca it has been in tho hand of tho present company, has promptly paid all its obligations-for labor, ma terial, etc.-and bas, we aro reliably in formed, paid off many old obligations besides paying tho interest on nil thi bonded debt of tbo company, incladiuf the few second mortgage bonds out which, wo believe, was never dono be foro. If tho road, ia its present coudi tiou, was nblo to do thus much, any bus; ness man will readily admit, that wi tl tho proposed improvements-tho plncinj of tho road in first-rate order-the com pany will bo fully ablo to meet tho in tercst on thc increased outlay. Th? Greonvillo Railroad, placed in nu im proved condition, will bo of inealouln hie value, not only to Columbia, but th? whole up-country.
