the intention of consuming time. In.
the progress of the testimony, a sharp
tilt occurred between counsel. The
question, did (Stokes make any state?
ment aa to whether ho was going any?
where on the morning of killing Fisk
waa asked of a witness, but the Judge
thought it inadmissible Tremaine
argued its admissibility, as being part*
of the connecting link of evidence which
would prove that his presence at the
Grand Central Hotel was not with a mur?
derous intent. The District Attorney re?
plied, supporting the inadmissibility of
the question, to which Tromaiue re?
sponded very sharply, condemning the
oourae of the District Attorney and of
the press. He alluded to the District
Attorney having private counsel in this
caso in a sarcastic manner, to which the
District Attorney responded by calling
Tremaine's attention to tho faot tbut he,
(Tremaine,) waa employed us a private
counsel to assist the State Attorney in
the Cole murder case, and also referred
to the fact that Tremaine's associate was
private counsel for Mrs. M nus li old in u
libel suit against Fisk, as well as private
counsel in the Cauoime murder case.

July C
The Oase or Captain W. H. Trtzersnt
Before Commiiilontr Boozer.
Tbe case of the United States vs. W.
H. Trezevant, which- was announced ic
our last issue as commenced at this
place before Albert M. Boozer, United
States Commissioner, was resumed on
Wednesday morning, 26th ultimo.
The defendaut was represented by
Messrs. F. W. Fiokling, of Colombia,
and S. P. Hamilton, of this place, as his
counsel.
At the outset of the case, it being dis?
covered tbat Mr. Boozer, the Commis?
sioner, had established himself at the
headquarters of Major W. H. Brown,
the commanding officer of the United
States forces nt this post, the counsel
for the prisoner addressed a communica?
tion lo the Commissioner, suggesting
the impropriety of such a place for the
investigation of a matter purely civil,
and respectfully requesting thut some
other locality bo chosen, naming the
Court House. To this haviug received
no answer, the counsel, per force re?
paired to the military headquarters, and
found the Uuited Stutcs Commissioner
located in the office of the commanding
officer of the post, the latter being him?
self then and there present. The coun?
sel for Mr. Trezevaut then iu form laid
their objection to going ou with thc
case at Major Brown's office before tin
Commissioner, stating that it did nol
need argument to show that it was uu
entirely improper piuco for such a pur
pose, und particularly urged that tbi
mere presence of the military, and espe
ciully of tue commanding officer thereof
bad a very injurious influence on the
minds of a certain class of witnesses
who would be called ou to testify in thii
case. Mr. BuoZir. the Commissioner
replying to tho objections ns urged ty
Mr. Hamilton, said that he thought tba
gentleman "very hasty and his remark
very uunecessury nud uncalled for.'
Mujor Brown, the commandant, tool
part in tho discussion, and ?tated tba
far from seeing any impropriety in tb
matter, he considered the headquarter
"tho most proper of all places." 'T
this the counsel replied that the fact u
the commanding officer of the troop
making any remark whatever ttb iuflu
euee the action of a civil tribunal wn
the highest evidence they could offer c
the justice of their objection. At thb
tho court adjourned for the day, and th
counsel for Mr. Trezevaut had reason t
hope that Mr. Commissioner Booze
would graut their reasonable request i
i this behalf. The next niorniug, thei
gentlemen received a letter from hil
stating that tho case would go ou i
"my office," and straightway they mad
diligent search for such place, but di
i covered that "my office" meui.t the ollie
of Mujor W. H. Brown, 18th Unite
Stutcs Infantry, commanding tho po
nt Chester, South Carolina, which sai
"my office" is surrouuded on every sit
by the camps of two companies of mfa
try and part of u company of cavalr,
At this suitable place, then, the Commi
siouer insisted on proceeding with tl
case, to whiob determination the cou
sel filed a written protest. The iuves
gation then proceeded.
At Columbia some testimony had be<
taken, which it wus agreed should for
part of the case. The only witness
there who pretended to connect the ti
fendant with any act at Chester in Marc
1871, were George Westbrook, colore
and one Goodman, white. The form
swore that he saw the defendant in Chi
ter on the night of the 6th of Marc
1871. and that he, with others, was c
gaged in the disturbances, und took frc
the witness his militia gun. The In
gage manifest of the Charlotte, Colu
bia and Augusta Railroad, signed by t
defendant as oonductor, showed it to
an impossibility for the defendaut
1 have been in Chester on Monday nigl
aud therefore the testimony of We
brook to be a deliberate piece of perju
Goodman, the other witness, of eqi
speed with his colored brother, testiti
that he carno np from Winn&boro on I
traiu and arrived at Chester at 10 o'clc
on the eveuing of Tuesday, the 7th
March, and saw the defendant at 1
house of one Peter Agurs, colored, <
gaged, with others, in a raid on s
Agurs' house. The schedules of 1
company showed the arrival of the tn
at Chester to have occurred on that d
at 3 o'clock in tbe morning, another
stance of perjury most bare-faced. 1
only other witness for the Governm
who pretended to connect Mr. Trezev
with tho occurrences iu tbe town
Chester on the night of the 6th of Mar
1871, was the veracious and well-kno
Ben. Michael, colored, or rather c
black politician of this town. He sw
that he knew Mr. Trezevant well; t
when the firing oommenced nt Reist
house, he, with George Westbro
started for the scene of action; and w!
they arrived in front of the store of 1
John L. Agurs, they were met b
orowd who ordered them to bait, and
force took from them their guns, t
being members of the National Gu
State militia, and tbat tbe defeudi
Trezevant, was one of tbe number. '.
offioial records of tho Charlotte, Col
bia and Augusta Railroad, proved by
testimony of Mr. Thomas Davaul
clerk in the general freight and til
office of tho company, showed
Trezevant, as couduotor in charge of
regular day train, left Augusta on
morning of the 6th of March, 1871,
arrived in Charlotte at 7.30 P. M., of
same day. Mr. Turner, the nonda
of the night train whioh left Charl
for Augusta shortly after, testified
he left Mr. Trezevaut in Oharlott
that evening; swore positively thai
did not come down with him to Che:
that there was no other traiu he c
have oome down on that night, and
it was impossible for him to have bee
Chester on Monday night, the Gt!
March, 1871.
The other testimony for the Gov
ment was Peter Agurs, George Jaoh
Carter Ross, Tom. Lee aud John Li
Neither of them pretended to prove
defendant, Trezevant, as being prei
and Lee swore that he knew him well.
The Commissioner seemed to get sick of
George Jackson an a witness, and it is
doubtful if he even took his testimony
down.
This, then, was the eas* made out by
tho Government, and with which Mr.
Stone, tho District Attorney, was will?
ing to rest. It will bo seen at once that
so fur UH tho defendant is concerned,
there was au entire failure to show him
as being connected with a conspiracy of
any kiud, aud it is a singular fact in this
cuse that by the Govcrumeut witnesses
he wus not shown to have been in Ches?
ter ou the night when hu wus actually
here, to wit: on Tuesday, 7th of March,
1871; but only sworn to huvo been here
on Monday night, while he was quietly
iu tho town of Charlotte. It is u very
good illustration of the value of the tes?
timony of the class of witnesses used by
the Government in prosecutions under
the lato oppressive enactmeuts of Con?
gress.
Ou the last duy of the investigation
before Mr. Commissioner Boozer, (Fri
day lust,) there occurred a little episode
in the proceedings, which would be ex
ccediugly ludicrous, but that it shower
how far we have drifted from tho ok
landmarks of civil liberty.
It had been observed by the counse
for the prisoner that Major Brown, thi
commandant of the post, hud been tak
ing greut interest in the progress of thi
case; was constantly in consultation wit]
the Commissioner, aud present almos
all of the time of tho examination o
witnesses. Ou the last day ho took hi
seat immediately iu rear of the Commis
siouer. Mr. YV. H. Hardin was beiu?
cross-exarniued by tho Commhsionet
It was observed that the commandan
made frequent suggestions to the Com
missioner; examined affidavits and pt
pcrs connected with the cause; and fina
ly suggested a question for tho witnes
in a very audible voice. The followiu
colloquy between Mr. Hamilton, one c
tho counsel for the defence, and Mi
Boozer, the United Stutes Commissions
then occurred:
Mr. Hamilton-"Mr. Commissione
I do most seriously object to any iute
ference whatever on the part of the con
inauiliug officer of this post in the coi
duct of this case."
?Mr. Boozer (with great heat)-"Yo
are very disrespectful to this court, si
and I will not pitt up with it, sir, or a
low myself to bu interrupted in th
manuer; I will have order, sir, in ir
court."
Mr. Hamilton -"I do not see, M
Commissioner, that I have been gail
of any disrespect; it certaiuly is u
right to make any ohjectiou in behalf
our client, provided it be respectful
done."
Mr. Boozer-"Well, sir, (with i
creased excitement) if vou are not disi
spectful to the court, you are very disi
spectful and insulting to Mujor Brown
Mr. Hamilton-"I would beg to sa
Mr. Commissioner, that I um not disi
spectful or insulting to Mujor Brown;
has no bu.- i ness with this case, and tl
is tho very ground of my objection
3*ou, which I hopo I c iu here respe
fully urge."
Mr. Boozer (uow at fever heat) -
will not be interrupted, sir; I will ht
order in my court, 6ir. You uro gui
of great disrespect to tho court."
Mr. Hamilton-"I am guilty of
disrespect to the court."
Mr. Boozer-"Mr. Murshall Mr. M
'shal! where is my Marshal?"
; This call was for a Deputy Marshal
the United States, who this Comn
sioner carries around with him, it is si
posed, to inspire uwe for the court r.
terror iu tho minds of the innocent t
timid. He wus at lust, after some til
found by Mr. Boozer, who Hew out
thu room in search of him.
Mr. Boozer (on his return)-'K
Marshal, I command you to keep or
in this court; if anybody interferes vt
my court, do your duty."
Mr. Marshal-"Give your orders, s
Mr. Hamilton-"Mr. Commissioue
wish you to understand that I know w
my rights aud what my chant's rig
are before you, and I do not purpose
allow the slightest interference on
part of the military with this cause."
Mr. Boozer-"And I will tell you,
that I will not allow any interfere
with the military by civilians. (In g
temper.) Mr. Marshal! Mr. Mars
keep order; do your duty."
Mr. Marshal-"Give|your order?,
I will obey thom."
Mr. Hamilton-"Now, Mr. Corni
sioner, make your Marshal arrest me
am here; let him arrest me; I do
know that I can successfully resist
you have within fifty yards of you
companies of infuutry und half a c
pany of cavalry."
At this point, Mr. Pickling, the o
and senior counsel for the prisoner
terfered, with a mild remark or tw<
Mr. Hamilton's position, which gave
Commissioner time to cool. It is t
ciunt to say that Mr. Hamilton was
arrested, and it may not bu impert?
to say that a Commissioner of the
irict Court of the United States hu
right to commit bim for a contei
even if he had been guilty of BU
thing. This Commissioner's brui
evidently turned by being coutini
surrounded in tho execution of
functions of his o fl ice "by all tho p
and glorious circumstance of war."
Thus ended the case-one which
cost tho Government a great dei
money, and has no merit in it what.
lu order to show any.offence agains
laws of tho United States, by the del
ant, it was necessary for the Governi
to prove ono of two things-either
there existed a conspiracy among
citizens of Chester, such as is menti
in the "Enforcement Act," and tba
defendant came here and became
and parcel of it; or that ho was one
conspiracy in North Carolina foi
purposes, aud came to Chester to
out its object nnd purposes. To t
lish either propositiou the Govern
eutirely failed.
This community bas been mach, in
trutb, intensely, interested in the inves?
tigation of Mr. Trezevant's case; be?
cause it has been accepted as a general
arraignment of the citizens of this town.
They have been aware that for months
every artifice of power has been used to
involve the entire community in acrimi?
na^ prosecution io the courts of the
United States. It has been known that
to get up such a case every debased,
vioious and idle vagrant of the neighbor?
hood has been sedulously pumped for
information and testimony to convict
the very best citizens of this place. The
case is now before his Houor Judge
Bryuu, and the curious may there read
the testimony, and reading* judge how
slanderous the charge in.

The Wall Street Journal, another
financial authority, says that tho vali?
dating law "expressly stipulates that
the registration of South Carolina bonds
shall be entirely at the expense of the
public creditors, and shall cost the State
nothing." The law referred to, does
nothing of the kind. On tho contrary,
it, by implication, provides that thc enst
of registration shall be borne by the
State.
