Id the case of the State vs. Cyrus
Clarkson, (colored,) indicted for graad
larceny, in stealing cattle, tried yesterday
in the (Jourfc of General Sessions, the Jury,
composed of colored men, brought in
a verdict of "not guilty," contrary to
overwhelming and conclusive evidence of
pioAnoi* Mo nna nnnri .hp I
MIO|UU?V? tu? |/iwvuv?< m^v.. ...?
Jury was able to write the verdict, and
the Judge ordered the Clerk of the Court
to eadorse it upon the record, and the
foresail to make his "mark."
His Honor then commeuted upon the
conduct of the Jury Commissioners in
drawing men grossly illiterate and incompetent
to serve as Jurymen, rebuked the
Jury for their total disregard of all la viand
evidence in the case, ordered that
their names be stricken from the ! ury
list, and that the Sheriff furnish twenty
four men of intelligence and integrity,
from which another Jury might be selected.
He expressed his regret that under
the law the verdict must stand, and that
he was unable to set it aside.
This conduct of Judge Carpeuter cannot
be too highly commended. Some such
rigorous and fearless administration of
justice is needed to check the unbridled
partisanship of some of oar public officers,
and the shameless disregard of all obliga
tions shown bv many who are called to
act is jurymen and witnesses in tbo
Court*.
///< the T?i<Pajen' Co*re*Uoa.
V The executive committee has called a
meeting of this body, to be held at Colum-'
bis, on the 17th day February. The situation
of affairs in this State is such, that
9 some action must be taken, and that positive,
and without delay. From one end
of our Commonwealth to the other a great
cry of indignation, mingled with pain, has
been raised. In'the depressed condition
of our people the burden of taxation
threatens to crush the life out of them.?
Not only is the rate of taxation heavy,
but, in many quarters, it is charged that
property has been assessed at two or three
times its value, so that the taxes of last
year are doubled and trebled at present.
If the people cannot pay, what are they to
do ? They cannot sit quietly, and see their
property confiscated. We heard a gentleman,
who has to pay taxes on a large
quantity of land, say that if the State
would take one tract of tirtem hundred
, -TV ?-"4 the rest of his proparty
from liability, it would be a great
relief to him to pay in that manner. We
may reason as wc like about the percentage
of taxation in this State, as compared
with other parts of the Union, but whenever
the pressure becomes so great as to
neoemitate a step, similar to that proposed
above, it is time that some decisive measures
should be taken, if so much property
should be sacrificed to pay taxes this
"? Inrinaf. onnnl rnmntitv nillKl tm
the next, and so it will continue, until
the government shall have absorbed all of
the citiaens' property. This is confiscation
Oar Legislators knew what the financial
condition of the State was when the Act
to raise supplies was before them. The
prem of the State spared no pains to urge
this upon their attention, while it respectfully
and firmly protested against a burdensome
levy. The State does not need
so much money, and therefore the imposition
of roinons taxes, in spite of entreaty
and remonstrance, shows a wilful disregard
of the interests, and contempt for
the distress, of our people upon the part
of the government.
There ie another matter which deserves
the serious consideration of the tax payers.
The State has been so extravagant in the ,
past foor years, that it has just been compelled,
in self-defence, to repudiate a large
- * .1 1 li ?t-!-L !i 1 1 i t
portion OZ toe (leDl wmcn u uau con ir?vied.
We are not disposed to find fault
with the administration for resorting to
thi| course. The debt was so heavy that
it could not he paid, and its partial repudiation
will work do substantial injustice
But what has happened onee may happen
again. If, notwithstanding the immense
and unprecedented ainouut of money,
that has been wrung from the people
since Reconstruction, the State was constantly
sinking in debt, it becomes the
wise and prndent to anticipate and guard
against a recurrence of the same calamity
The tax-payers have no voice in creating ;
our public debts, and are therefore not
responsible; but they own the property 1
of the State, an^give the Commonwealth a
tangible shape, since bonds, scrip, and J
?tock would be but empty and worthless ,
shadows, unless there was property, which i
tbe government could make liable for '
their redemption. The debts of the State
are a charge upon tbe tax-payew, and re- (
pudiation may not always be convenient
or feasible.
Tbe opinion is expressed by some that
no good can result from the calling of ,
' a convention of the tax-payers, and the j
Kepublioan press of the State generally
ridicules the idea. But if the proposed
Convention is well made up, representing
the sentiment of tbe people thoroughly, j
nd ii properly eoodieted, muoh good 1
?
oan be accomplished. The character,
ability, aud weight of the Executive Committee
must have great influence with the
powers of the State. The intellect and
wealth which the Convention will represent,
constitute a powerful minority, and
possess a force which cannot he contemptuously
disregarded. We trust to the
wisdom and combined counsels of those
who will assemble, to devise some method
by which our troubles may be alleviated.
We expect to see dignified, conservative
views, a thorough comprehension of the
toaiiAO tta nml liinrl nvo to Ortll tl CpI^
IS9UUO UC1U1C UP, auu uiuutmvv vvuuwwiM
marking the deliberations of the Convention.
Frothy, threatening speeches, and
impracticable schemes are not wanted.?
The people of South Carolina, who are
debarred of all participations in the government,
must speak, and if their utterances
are marked by the spirit which
should distinguish th sui, our rulers will
listen to thein.
If no other good should conic of it.
much will be accomplished by bringing
our people together to consult upon their
common interests. The people of different
parts of the State are gradually becoming,
politically at least, strangers to each other.
As each man is working at home, bravely
battling with difficulties, he is forgetting
the thousands of others, whose interests
are idoutical with his own, and who arc
I oppressed by the same evils. If a people
! become disintegrated, the task of consuming
it by piece-meal is much simpler for
' its enemies, than is the destruction of a
compact band, actuated by a close sympathy
for each other, governed by the same
wise counsels, and animated by the 6ame
hopes. The nun-represented of South
Carolina should meet each other in convention;
and consult together. They can
protest against oppression and misrule, if
they do no more.
We hope that, when a meeting is called
to select delegates to the Convention at
Columbia, every township in Kershaw
County wilf be represented. Let the proposed
Convention be one thoroughly representative,
not of any "class or clique," but
of the people.

To the News and Courier.
Washington, January 14.
Yesterday afternoon, before the Republican
senators resumed their caucus session
Senator Sargent called npon the Presidont
and mentioned to him the fact that he
had received an anonymous letter in which
it was stated that on the 21st of March,
1861, Caleb Cushing wrote a letter to
Jefferson Davis strongly recommending
Archibald Roane, a clerk in the attorneygeneral's
office, to Davis's favorable consideration.
Roane having strong Southern
symnathies, and being an able scholar,
wtut a ouauibutor to Review, and
while briefly alluding to the subjects
which then divided the North and South,
Cushing spoke of them as the cause of a
final separation of the Union, which he regarded
as an accomplished fact. The
! President a short time thereafter applied
to the secretary of war for the original of
this letter, which was produced, it being
found among the captured Confederate
archives. The President, on reading the
letter, at once concluded to withdraw the-j
nomination and caused a communication
to be written to the Senate for this purpose.
Tho President, before he nominated
Cushing, knew that this gentleman had
taken the State Rights view of the questions
which agitated the country, just previous
to the breaking out of the late civil
war, but that when Fort Sumter was fired
upon, Cushing made a patriotic speech,
and offered his services in putting down
the rebellion. Other gentlemen had, like
Cushing, declared their opinion that the
government had no right to coerce a State,
yetrwhen hostilities resulted, they were actively
found on the side of the Union;
but now that this letter to Jefferson Davis
had come to light, stating so broadly disunion
views, the President, notwithstanding
his high appreciation of Mr. Cushing's
legal attainments,' resolved to withdraw
his name, apprehensive that his opinions,
as expressed in the past, might injuriously
affect the decisions of the Supreme Court
in the event ol his connrination as cruet
justice. The President called an extra
Cabinet meeting to-day, which continued
for nearly two hours, during which the
subject of the chief justiceship was considered;
A short time before the President's
private secretary started for the
capital, a long letter from Mr Cushing,
through Gen. Butler, was received by the
President, in which the writer thanks the
President for his kihdness, and particularly
for nominating him for the great flice
of chief justice, and as if in contradiction
of the numerous charges against him from
newspapers aud other sources, he expresses
his conviction of the propriety of the
several amendments to tho constitution
added since tho late civil war; and, in
conclusion, he asks that his nomination be
withdrawn from the Senate. The President
detained the private secretary, and
added to the uiessage of withdrawal a
postscript stating that since the message
was written yesterday, ho had received a
letter from Mr. Cushing. a copy of which
he enclosed, deeming it an act of justice
to that gentleman to lay tho samo before
the Senate. As soon as the postscript was
written the prrvato secretary left the Executive
mansion for the purpose of delivering
the messaere to the Senate. The mes
o
gage was accninpanied by Gushing's letter
to .Jefferson Davis as the ground on which
the nomination is withdrawn, and also the
letter of Gushing to President Grant, to
which reference is abovo made. The
original letter of (lushing to Davis is in
possession of the war department. Senator
Sargent has a copy of it, which he procured
yesterday, by virtue of his senatorial
privileges, and which was exhibited by
him to the caucus. Efforts to obtain
copy for publication have thus far proved
unsuccessful, as the paper is considered
confidential. Nothing has yet been j
concluded as to a new nominee for ohief i
justice. It ie supposed, in ofioiil quar-1
t
ters, that Cushing will soon loave Washington
of Madrid.
caleb cushing's letter of withdrawal?a
new profession of faith.
Washington, January 14.
The following is the letter of Gen.
Cushing requesting the withdrawal of his
nomination :
To The Prerident:
Sir?Animated by the sense of profound
gratitude for the honor you have
done me in nominating mo to the high
office #of chief justice of the Supreme
Court of the United States, and perceiving
that the continuance of my name before
the Senate may be the cause or occasion
of inconvenience to yourself or your
political friends, therefore I respectfully
request you to withdraw the nomination.
Permit me to add that the charges of disloyalty
to the Union and the Constitution
which have been brought against me in
this conneation are utterly destitute of
foundation in truth or in fact. I indig
nantly repel the imputation. In the time
anterior to the commencement of hostilities
in the Northern States every act of my
political life, in whatever relation of parties,
was governed by the single dominant pur
pose of aiming to presorve the threatened
integrity of the Union, and to avert from
my country the calamity of its disruption
and of consequent fratricidal carnage.
How could such a purpose be promoted
otherwise than by political associations or
personal intercourse with citizens of different
States, in eluding those of States
Srofessedly disaffected to the Union ?
hould the only possible means of laboring
to prevent civil war be stigmatized as disloyalty
to the constitution ? But immediately
on the occurrence of the first act of
hostility to the Union being struck in the
State of South Carolina. I took my stand
with the Union and its government. I
publicly announced my adhesion to them
in the most unequivocal terms. I tcndcrod
my services to the government in the field
or in any other way which might testify my
fidelity to it, and I have continued from that
day to this, as well in official as unofficial
action, to tread in the path of unswerving
devotion to the Union, whether during
the actual progress of hostilities against it,
or in the subsequent event of its reconstrution,
and of the successive amendments of
the constitution rendered necessary by the
changed conditions and relations of the
several States of the United States and of
their respective inhabitants. The recent
amendments of the constitution, each and
all of them, as they were in turn adopted,
nnd dip Ipfislative nets for their enforce
mcnt and for accomplishing reconstruction,
had my co-operation and adhesion, and I
havo supported them constantly, if not in
political debates, from which my comparative
reserved habita of life afforded neither
occasion nor opportunity, yet in legal
opinion, or in the courts, and in counsel
or discussion with officers of the government,
members of Congress and private
pcrsons.|I entertained the same general
respect for these amendments as for other
provisions of the constitution, and also
rendered the special observance due to
them as tne just and necessary incidents
of the reconstruction of the Union. While
my nomination was undergoing consideration
in the Sonata, it. would U?ve been
unbecoming for me to speak in explanation
of my acts or my opinions, but now with
relative indifference towhatever else may
have been said, either honestly or maliciously,
to my prejudice, it belongs to my
sense of public duty, and it is my right to
reaffirm and to declare that I have never,
in the long course of a not inactive life,
done an act, uttored a word or conceived a
thought of disloyalty to the Constitution
or the Union.
I have the honor do be. very respectfully,
(Signed) (f. Cusuinq. *

now THE SALARY GftAB WAS PASSED BY
THE SENATE.
WAsniNOTON, January 12.
The Republican senators were in caucus
this morning more than an hour. They
had the opportunity in an entirely private
way, to express freely their opinions as to
the best thing to be done on the salary
questioim It was agreed, With little dissent,
that the good of the party demanded
the entire repeal of the salary grab, as far
as it could be done under the constitution.
Sepntor Morton, who has been very impatient
to get up his Pinchkack resolution,
appealed to the caucus to dispose of the
salary bill to-day, so that he could call
up his resolution to-morrow. There was
no formal consent given to this, but it
was understood that the majority would
make the offort to get through with the i
bill this afternoon, and tke country will 1
be relieved to know that it was finally disposed
of beforo adjournment. The bill as
passed is very short and comprehensive,
restoring the entire class of salaries put
up Inst March to the rales prevailing previously.
The salaries of the President
nnd the justices of the Supreme Court
remaining as now. The bill will be laid
before the House to-morrot, and members
will have to face tho music squarely. It I
does not seem as if they can havo now any
loophole ?f escape. Some members of
the House are now pronouncing it as a
piece of buncombe, and say that even if it
should pass the President will veto it.?
This is not probable. The? also sny.that
the House will non-eotiour *nd ask a com
mitteo of conference, which will take it
upon itself to shape up another bill.

tiate Archer brought mourling into flrace
Church, iiml ruhed her nit??n in the habiliments
of woe. Again is she iFnped in the sad
symbols of orphanage, for herlnte beloved and
admired Rector, whose name it herejinscribed.
Talented, aecoiaplished, schslnrly nud eloquent,
pure, gentle andnttractive, his memory
is as a rich fragrance in the .warts of his bereaved
pariahioners, for wheat he labored
with a faithful and fervent zeal, that marked
a ministry of rare excellence.
The subject of these lines was born in
Charleston, 8. C., on the 18b of August,
1834. where his early youth wis passed. In
his boyhood, he was brought iito near association
with tha Rev. Dr. lUchffd Fuller, undtr
irh?i? mJaiitry, at thirttfi jrtara of ag?>
he was received into the Baptist Ohurch.?
He graduated at the Newton Theological
Seminary in 1866, and the same year entered
the Baptist ministry. In 1866 he was admitted
into the ministry of the Protestant Episcopal
Church, and received Priest's orders
in 1867. He filled a temporary vacancy in
the Rectorship of Trinity Churc]^ Abbeville,
S. 0., in 1868, where he is still affectionately
remembered, and in 1869, accepted a
parish in Gainesville, Fla. In January,
1872, greatly to the regret of his parishioners,
he accepted the call of Grace Church,
Camden, where, for two years, often under
great bodily infirmity and much mental depression,
he ministered unto us most acceptably
and faithfully,
In the summer of 1872, he was seriously
ill, and obtained a respite trom his labors,
but his earnest spirit brought him back all too
soon for the welfare of the body, for from this
attack he seemed never to have wholly rallied,
but with a strength of will, and a heroic power
of endurance, at once admirable and affec- c
- ?
ting, lie labored on and on, Sundays, Hoiydays
and week days, until, a mere shadow,
he dragged a feeble form to the sanctuary,
and, weak in body, but strong in faith, with
his be'oved people celebrated his last Eu.
charist on earth, on the first 8unday in the
new year. And then he lay down upon liis
couch, a dying man. and so entered his rest,
spent in his Master's work, on Tuesday, January
13, 1874.
As a minister, his spirit seemed filled with
the love of Christ, the Incarnate God and Saviour
of His people, and of His Holy, Catho- .
lie and ApoBtolic Church. To present her in
her beautiful garments and holy ordinances,
her solemn ritual, her fervent prayers and <
praises, and her lessons of Holy Scripture,
and so bring fallen man into contact and com- munion
with Christ, this was his work among
us. Almost his last words weve of her.?
"Keep the Chutch open," said he, shouting
his battle-cry with his last breath.?
It is not too much to say, that his burning (
love for the Church of his adoption, has left
a kindred glow in the hearts of many, and a
higher devotion to our Zion. He was interred
in the Cemetery of this place, in holy .
ground. Beside his, rest the forms of the
venerated and beloved Bishop Davis, the able,
learned And devoted Thomas F. Davis, Jr.,
and the young, piouB and promising F. Bruee
Davis.
Where shall we find those more worthy, (
more amiable, exemplary and accomplished?
