In time past there was a waitmo room at Florence for the accommodation of the traveling public, but it having boon consumed by fire little more than a month ajro, von now take it yawning on a boor crate ; on the platform or an oil barrel, if it is handier waiting for the cars! from 12 to ?1:510 o'clock A.

M , jaded, hungry and sloopy all at tho same timo. That wan all dispatched though, in a few hours, and there we concluded we would step out and "see what wo could see" and we saw! That is to sav wo saw an amazingly pretty girl the lirst thing! but did not have the pleasure of seeing her again. We saw and met others though who knew just how to entertain a fellow and make him feel like he had never lived in the country a dav. ()ur acquaintance in social circles was not very extensive, still our cup of pleasure was full to overflowing, and al) those we met seemed eager to make every event more pleasing than any previous. We are especially indebted to two young ladies w ho contributed greatly . to our enjoyment, and we only regrot that our acquaintance with them inw I - 1 ..v. .-.i.'i i. >, ? iit ii> wc win mivi* | tlie pleasure of meeting you again in the near futi'ire. The most remarkable feature wo noticed was the number of maimed and deformed people; and all sorts imag'liable, froiiiwi cork nose to a body without limbs. We saw a i "thing,11 too, with a suit of clothes j on, and a pair of lone ears protruding from a wide white collar, and when we went "round on the other side1 i to look at it, it was exactly like one of Puck's picture of Field, and we thought we would ask him if he was! the same, but not being acquainted with him we feared it might olTend i n 1.;,.. i?..? o ... i ....... uub niH'Liin ooscrvauon re-| voaled the fact that it was 0110 of the n<los'"' that are so numerous there.

It is furnished with the difTere t kinds of produce made in the State, and the different kinds of manufactured goods, and all the minerals, fruits, fishes, fowls, &c. Some of the fowls and animals resemble life so closely that it is hard to realize they are not livf * ing. Then there is a department for v wood, and they nave large olocksi about three by two by one foot of the different kinds of trees, found in various countries. We asked our guide if Horry was not represented in all those'cords of specimens and he said it was not. This is very lamentable, when wo think of tho fact that wo j have some nmnmr Ilu?

As our Judges have been recently rather severely criticised bv the press of the State for so readily granting bail to prisoners charged with murder, in justice to them and for the information of the press and the people, I propose to review the law j bearing upon this branch of my subject. An extended review cannot be given in the space of a newspaper article, and 1 must, therefore, be I >ri??f. TIid Statute of Jilst Charles tlio Second, known as tlio Habeas (\>rpns Act, became tlio law of tlio liritisli Colonies, was specially adopted, as they becamo independent States, and is now, with perhaps sliolit alteration, the law of all the States of, this Union. Under this statute i every one committed under u criminal eliuroo is entitled to this writ, unless he or she stand committed "for felony (the punishment of which is death,) or treason, plainly expressed in the warrant of commitment, or unless charged as accessory before the fact to treason or felony (the punishment of which is death,) or with suspicion thereof, or unless chajred with suspicion of treason or felony, (which felony is putnishalile with death,) which shall be plainly expressed in tlio warrant of commitment It will be perceived that under this Act as now of force in this State, and as it has been from the bejrininjr of our existence as a ('oininon wealth, one committed for murder plainly and distinctly expressen in the wajriuit cannot demand even tlie writ of luiboas corpus as a mutter of right tnucJi less can ho demand hail. liy virtue, however, <>f llieir ^enoral jurisdiction and common law ; powers, the .Indies of old ICngland, and this country as woll, could grant the writ as a matter of grace in eases : of treason or capital felony, and after hearing nil the facts of the case, could trrant or refuse hail acconlinjr to the circumstances of the case made !>v the acoused. In the past history of tliis State, and 1 presume of every State of the Union, to persons charged with eapi- I tal felonies .Indies have never denied the writ of habeas corpus, ami have rarely refused hail, hut have granted it in such amount as the uat lire o f 4l i?? ciKit rmiinrm] It I be borne in 111i11< 1 that the object of committing to prison one accused of' crime is to have liim present in Court to answer to the charge and to abide the judgement of the Court. It .is not to punish him. That only follows conviction. Until then ho is | presumed to be innocent, and neith- , er the law nor humanity calls for! punishment in advance of conviction. Yet, if to persons charged with capital felony bail is to be denied in ad- ; vanco of bill found, and the accused is not to be released from his dun- | goon until acquitted by the verdict of a petit jury, many innocent persons would lie wrongfully and cruel- ( I v punished. Hence in such cases j the power and discretion of granting the writ of habeas corpus and of j awarding or refusing bail is lodged in the Judges. That this power and ' discretion is at times abused or improperly exercised is true. Human, judgement is not infallible; and we, must expect that mistakes will be, made in the matter of bail as in other matters of judicial cognizance. Kor more than two hundred years English speaking people have enjoyed the ?rreat blessings of the Habeas! o n f Corpus Act, and the inestimable j privileges of bail at tin- hands of an enlightened judiciary undercharges! of capital felonies, as well as of lesser crimes. To take u step backward in i this respect a liberty-loving people will not. In fact the Constitution of A. I). 18SC) goes much further in secunntr the riidit to bail than does the D n statutes of Charles, and by necessary implication enlarges the riyht to the writ of habeas corpus. Section 1(1, of Article I, reads as follows: "All persons shall, before conviction, be bailable by sufficient sureties, except for capital olYonees, I when the proof is evident or the presumption great, and excessive bail shall not in any case bo noquirod, nor 1 corporal punishment inflicted." As I interpret this article, by necessary implication, it grants to the citizen the right to the writ of habeas nAW14?fl :i r i i wijinn, ill i;u!?U8 1>I ClipiUll IHlOliy ilS well as iii eases of lessor crimes. I do not see how a Judge can lawfully rofu:o the writ in any ease. The Constitution overrides the statute, and by necessary implication, renders the granting of the writ in all cwses no longer discretionary with the Judge. A party charged with murder can now demand the writ as a matter of ri<fht: and having thus / ry been brought before the Judge ho is entitled to bail, unless the proof of guilt be evident, or the presumption great. If such bo the proof or V * / presumption, ho is not bailable as n matter of rijrlit, but it then rests, as 1 it always has, in the liscretion of the 'Judge. To one evidently guilty, a' Judge, hi the exorcise of a sound j discretion, should not grant bail.! Whore the guilt of the accused is clear the only safe and prudent j ' course is to refuse bail. Kxtremo , cases mu\ and do occur whoro, although clearly iruiltv, there is yet no probability of flight, and bail may | bo saiolv-granted. The risk, howov; or, should not lie taken. Reviewing tlio course of our judicial decisions, and the established I practice of the eminent .Judges c?f the State who have passed away, the fact appears that what is now a constitutional enactment is in exact no corn wiiii meir tiintorm iclininistra' lion of the law. In cases of capital I felony lliey never denied the writ of habeas corpus, and yet could have ; refused it. Now it seems it cannot be refused. They never refused bail to one charged with a capital felony against t whom the proof of guilt was slioht. j Now it cannot be refused. They i often refused bail to those a*>ainst n uliimi tln> .... # I... prosumptroii. ( )nr ('(institution suggests tlmt it should bo so rofusod, although it does not deprive the Judges of this eoiiiinoti law power t?> grant bail in any ease. As I remarked before, tlie sole object of imprisonment before conviction is not the punishment of the accused, but to secure his forthcoming to stand his trial and to abide the punishment to bo indicted in case he should be convicted. Where the punishment is death, the guilt\ m:m is prone to fly, and will not hesitate at the thought of ! pecuniary forfeiture, and hence the : danger in admitting him to bail. | (Experience, however, has taught the people of (England and of this country that no definite restriction upon the matter of bail before trial 'can safely be laid down by the Leg1 islaturo. A discretion must be lodged in the .Judges, and thev must - be confided in not to abuse it. According to the circumstances of each case Imil is to ho granted or denied, lbit just here arises the sore trial of | the Judge, and the clear demonstration of the vital importance of coroner's inquest. If that work ho well (lone, t he .1 udtro is trre: illv iiiitoil Mil i ~ ^ j j reaehin?r a just conclusion. 11o must 1)0 controlled l>V tli?> testimony submitted. This, consists, on behalf of the Stile, of the evidence jriven at j the inquest. Rarely any other is ever submitted. I low defective and unsatisfactory this ordinarily is, I spoke ? f in my lirst article, and will not aeain dwell upon it hero. It is enough t<? know that it usually consists of tho loose, careless and imperfect examination oT onlv a few of the witnesses who mijrht be procured, and the testimony of those wlio are examined is often very imperfectly recorded. The ease is far different iu behalf of the accused. Kvery item of testimony available ho and his counsel procure. This is carefully crotton up iu the shape of allidavits with a special view not only to contradict the testimony taken at the inquest, but to na> further and to build up a case of homicide in self-defence, it' it happen that the dood was done in view ,.F Liu r,.u..... .... < ... .lira IUHI.1I-IUV/II, wi, ill Ul SCcrot homicide, to show an alibi. At tho hearing of the application for bail, it often happens that the State is not represented, the solicitor of the circuit being unavoidably absent upon pressing official duty, or, if present, he knows nothing of the facts of the case except what he can hastily gather from the meagre testimony furnished by the coroner. The consequence is that the prisoner usually gets the advantage in the proof submitted, and is admitted to bail, because, after weighing the evidence tho Judge is constrained to decide that the proof of guilt is not evident nor the presumption great. And thus it happens that in this, his lirst trial of strength with the law, a really ifuiltv man achieves his lirst triv * i*i umph in the race for liberty and life. Kllicient discharge of duty on the part of the coroner would have foiled him. I am induced just hern to remark that the facility with which a defendant can procure strong and highsounding affidavits in his behalf is greatly aided by the fact that affidavit is by many too lightly regarded, and many of them are not affidavits at all, the affiants not having I been sworn. 1 have been surprised to find a misunderstanding of this matter even by attorneys at law. An affidavit is a statement made under oath, reducing to writing and subscribed by tho affiant in the presence of the officer administering the t oath, who adds thereto the jurat or certificate. It is no affidavit unless the party subscribing it, in solemn 1 form of law, swears to it. This he , does not do by simply subscribing it. The oath must be taken just as ono is sworn in a Court of justice?I mean as formally. A conviction for perjury could not \>v ncciiri'ii upon otio out of every ton . affidavits taken in this State, however false, simply because no oath is actually administered, but the socalled affiant morelv subscribes <his name to a writron statement, which an officer certifies is swpru ^s>yliotj in fact it was no?|un>* 'pon a trial perjury, this fact would be sure to bo made to appear, and the defendant would bo acquitted. The form of the oath is iimnatctial, so it bo recognized by law; nevertheless, there must bo an oath duly administered to constitute an affidavit; but, surprising' to say, as generally practiced and popularly interpreted, an f ? affidavit is a mere statement in wri-1 ting, having the form of an oath and | subscribed by tho would-be affiant. The consequence is that many of j those written statements are readily! procured, which would not bo done if the subscriber fully understood and fully appreciated what ho was doing To correct tho growing evil of rock j loss statomonts in the form of alii- ! davits, it ini?r111 bo well for tho boa| islaturo to dotine what an atlidavit is,! and to proscribe a punishment for officers who fail to take theni'ii) clue ' j form. I will have something to say | in tho course of this review upon tho irrowinj/ evil of false sweariinr. , , r-t r> Id 111 v next I will outer upon the discussion of the trial and Us incidents, having drawn out this article loniror than, on yesterday, I expected to do. .1.

The larjre tent presents a most inciting and attractive appearance this warm weather and at ni<dit it is well illuminated, maUiuir a more cheerful I appearance than most of our churches. There were ubou< two hundred persons present at the opening hour, but itiuw Ml)<nil?r ill HI Willi III ?r il tew 11)111utes others came. It was plain that many caino to see what sort of show was to ho given nn?l*?r the big tout. A consiclorahh' crowd reclined on the grass some distance from tho tent as though thov wanted to be in the neighborhood, but not too close. The Hev. I. A. 1'orter, of the .South Carolina Conferoneo, called; the association to order, and after the usual preliminary services preached a plain, impressive sermon on "Selfexamination and self-improvement." It was what might he termed a good, solid, sensible sermon, suited to every one. At the close of his sermon Mr. 1'orter announced that this was the usual fall meeting of the Holiness Association, and tmit thov came not to cause dissensions among j the churches, bill to build up and strengthen the membership ami bring' people to a higher plane of spiritual ! enjoyment and privileges. There) were twontv-five hundred people in the State who believed in the doctrine of sanctilicat'on, and the meet- j m<rs they had hold had restored har-1 mony to churches and families that were torn asunder bv <lissensions. | They sought to do only j?ood. lie then called for the brethren to rise and jdve a word of testimony as to their certain knowledge of pardon ; and acceptance by (toil. Seven or eijrht persons responded, h'ue of them oave an account of the j manner and time of his receiving the "second blessinif." Another one </ot up and stated that he could not asssent to the doctrine of entire sanctilication in this life, and ho was getting1 ready to oive the reasons for his opinion, when Mr. Porter said: "Mvj brother, we only want just a word of j experience, your testimony as to what (tod has done for you." To this the brother replied: "Well. I rock on I enjoy about as much religion as the commonality of folks." 'Three persons, on invitation, asked an interest in the prayers of the association. On this, the lirst evening; of the i 1 t o meeting, everything was quiet and there was no extravagant talk or conduct. 'They have had services during; the clav under the tent and a r> j street meeting near the Opera-house! late in the afternoon. The attendance has not been large to-day. I)r. j Blossor, of Georgia, is here; also, the ! Dev. Mr. Jarrell, and they expected : Mr. Pepper, of Philadelphia this evening. The weather is quite warm, the thermometer going to 8(1 decrees in the shade. It causes cotton to open very lapidly, and our farmers seem disposed to soil.

The following incident, which is given mo by Dr. White, not oldy illustrates Stonewall Jackson's ('litis tian (character, 1 mt jrives the kev-note J to his whole life. Not very long after his con lection with the church the pastor preached a sermon on prayer, in which it was urm:d that o'ov/ male </ii/rch f/irmher ought, when occasion required, to lead in public prayer. The next day, a faithful elder of the ehurch nsked ''Major Jackson" what he thought of I the doctrine of the sermon, ami if lie was not convinced that he ought to load in public prayer. "I do not think it my duty," he replied, and went. 011 to assign as his reason that ho hesitated in his speech to such an extent when excited that ho did not think he could "pray to edification" 'n public. "Have you made tho matter a subject of secret prayer?" prosisted tho elder. "No, sir; but I will do so to-night." Tho elder then advised him also to consult his pastor. and he I went ut onco to Dr. White's study and wont over with hi in the arrru- I incuts and passages of Scripture by I which ho supported his position. Tiio next day the elder saw him walking rapidly l>v his place of business, and fearing that ho wished to avoid the subject of their previous con versa tion he called him hack and asked. "Have you made that matter a subject of prayerful investigation, inajoiv>" "Yes, sir, and 1 was just on my way to ask Dr. Wlulo to call on mo to lead in pray'ir meeting to- j night." Soon after ho was called f on, and made such a stammering of-1 fort, that the pastor felt badly fori him, and ho was greatly mortified, j Several subsequent efforts resulted in ; little bettor results, and the pastor j began to think that, perhaps, Major Jackson was right that ho really . could not "pray to edification," and i that ho was, perhaps, an exception to j the general rule that male members i of the church ought to lead in public j prayer. Accordingly he said to hint ono day; "Major, wo do not wish to make our prnyer-moo'injrs uncoin- j fort able to you, ami if you pro for it, I will not call on vou to load in prayer n<pun." The prompt ami emphatic reply was: "Mv comfort has nothing in the world do with it, sir; vou, as mv j pastor, think that it is mv dutv to load in p'ublic prayer 1 think so, too ami fx/ / mi iiii to ifo it. / iris/i j/oil ii'oii/if /if i'(IXC fn HO 1/001/ iIX to cuff OH 1)16 lllOI'i' J'l'f'i/iniif///.
