From the many editorials is the 7'ms /and Banner of -last work, -mv; to lawlessness, .crucially in this and Laurens county, one would think that tinpeople of these two ?<miilics -wi-vo fi setof cut-throats and dwiJMH'.j'.doos, ;rho dolighted only in blood-she*} .rnd broils. Against such senli-uiont^. iu> puvi^' 'jour-: naliKts, devoted lo ;tfie interest# of the State and especially of AbbeyiUe Courty, wc desire or,inofit eai<uo.s< protest. We believe the editor of the Press (ind limine?' H,o (be n sincere journalist, but also believe that be bus either al.lowed his prejudices, or his extreme love for law and order to get the belter of him. when he utters such sentiments 08 ure contained in the last issue of his ,paper. The people of A$*iievi$e CJoiinly are oh law abiding and as peaceable as any 4>eoplo on the face of the globe, lie XHU8G, forsooth, one of its citizens, in defense either of his life or his property, is occasionally placed in such a position that the taking of a human lift.', X?ven if tho individual be colored,) is jiecessary, jye are to -be branded as .desperadoes, utterly regardless of the j-ights.and j>ri..vile#{\s ,of others. We protest too, against the general arraignment on so gcrious a charge of ftlii* juries of our County. If one or j,wu juries have, in th.u infallible opin. .ion of of the editor of tho J'resa and Manner, failed to do their duty, is it jight to arraign all of the citizens of b.Jjuville County on a similar charge ? . Tim sarcasm and ridicule of the J'rtms mid Manner mav bo ?orfi?<;L hut if ,not carry that conviction which the statement of factn and particular instances would. Does the editor of the Press and Banner Qiegn to suy the law is never enforced in Abbeville County ? Outsiders, who knoxrs not tho history of our Count}' would infer such was .the case, after reading his article. The instances of capital punishment even inflicted by Abbeville cowls and Abbeville juries are tpo numerous und too recent to warrant any such assertion. .The Press and Jfan/ipr survly cunngt think it is sustained in this njustitfablc attack on the Jtest citizens of our County, for thoy compose Jho juried, by their general verdicts on questions Kiibjyjttod for their determination. Have white ?r r> i - i Uicu Ml uui UUUJII^ UVUJ1 t'DIl VIOJLCU Ol no crime ? The records of tl;.e .cuurts will not bear out .this assertion. We are afr&i.d pyr friend of the P/'ts.S and Manner wrote his eijituriuls, without thinking serjoiisly of them, jijjd t*jt; effect they would produce outside t},io County. He certainly did noj. mean for the citizens of Abbeville County to believe thuin, for he must have known that they know the facts do not bear out his wholesale charges. We protest. too, against the Press and Banner arraigning our Jqdges and Supierne Judges, on th? charge of n.<^ aiming in this lawlessness n Ji.eji in the discharge of their solemn and sworn duty.. A man commits no capital offence when he defends his own life, even to the death of his ossailant. Hard indeed woujd that law he, which compelled a man to lie in jail fi* months. it may be, when perchance he had been forced into the c*u)iiii*$ion ol lho act, for which he-is confined, sou.-iy in defence of hi* own life. 'j'Jiis right ,of bail is guaranteed to qs by the constitution ; ij has been passed upon by the highest ooyy ts of our land, and is everywhere regarded aga boui.den right, notwithstanding the opinion of the learned editor of J.l)e JPr^ss ami liannei x)n the law. Now in conclusion. The Press and Banner intimates, if it does not assert, iliat guilty men have gone unwhipt /of justice for offences co.mnitted in our .County. Grant that such i^ the case, has the great harm followed it which ho would have those, who do not know. believe ? Has he never learned the maxim quoted thousands of times, ''It jr better that ninety-nine guilt)' men oacapo, than one innocent ijjan he punished.'' Justice tempered yyith mercy is the kesylono .qf onr libertjos, and when not recognized, fare \r ell" to peace and order, and prepare for rjjle }>y might. THE VIRQINJ/\ D^JIOCUACY.

Forsevoral days our town ha* been considerably exercised over a eas? of raith cure, or. nt least, a case where the restoring process seems to be gradually going on.1 The person who is exp.-ri3ncing this cure is Mrs. Clemantipc Morgan, wife of Mr. J. (?. Morgan, of sur town, Mrs. Morgan is a daughter if Ilev. Mark M. IJoyd and, of course, dster to lb-vs. Ueorge. Marion and 'l'et" lloyd. of the South Carolina l!?nTerence. This places Mrs. Morgan hefore the public in a manner to entitle tier statements to the fullest credi-nce, jvi'ii did not we, and others of her neighbors have oco.ilar and other satisfactory proofs of the remarkable i hange Lhat has taken place ;is regards her physical condition. Mrs. Morgan is now forty-threw y-ars aid and has been an invalid for if&ty years. Indeed her afllietion ro-.o'ii&ic-; ud at t'iv a'.jo of sixteen and consisted of" i gradual loss of the museular p- wer of the lower limbs, nt that time more especially in her kneey. The !!l:.-;i.?u grew cud extended until in a few yenrs die was an invalid, unable to gel up or down or sonrcoly to waik across the lloor without assistance. Nine yoars igo kIio fell down the steps of t'r-ir house, then in the northern suburbs of ruir town, and broke her right ankle and right arm. The fractured limbs Imalcd. hut Mrs. M. was more helpless than before, Thrye and a halt'years ago she revnii nnothor Mho IVMK utinwHiur tip supporting herself hy the hud, the lied accidently moved and this threw Iter from her balance, nnd being unable (o move either font, she fell hnekwards lo the floor, breaking her left thigh and sustaining other injuries natural from her heavy weight nnd utterly helpless condition. Since this accident, whil? retaining a partial use of her hands and iritis, although unable to get them to her head, she has been completely helpless in body, unabl^'to turn herself in hed i>r lift I: or foot from the floor. Her rolling chair has h *en her constant- companion hy da)*, and from this .shu was placed on her hod at night and moved anlyas she was nssisted, the dressing ind undressing devolving entirely upon others. Her spine was still' nnd curved hack wards, and or.o of her feet was lrawn sideways so that the bottom iould scarcely he made to touch the door. This has been her condition for more than three vears. and this was her rendition a littlo more than a week ago. Anil all this time Mr?. Morgan has been lirlght in mind, cheerful in spirits and iiopeful, she sny?. that Ood would, when dio got right, brin^ her body riyht. Strongly impressed with this conviction tic took what she regards as the initial iUp to what she conlidently believes will be a happy cotiRuininnlien. She wrote to Miss C. 1''. Judd, of Buffalo, N. ST., author of a book entitled "Prayer of Faith^' describing to Miss Judd her conlition, and this correspondence resulted n the appointment of Wednesday night, ' V* . ' ' ' # % ' f '( ' /' - v ' litly Uitii at half past eight o'clock, as be hour in which she and others of her rionds would olferspecial prayer for the lictod woman. Mrs. Morgan was not jnmindful of tho hour when it camo. ind b"ing a praying woman, joined them n this special effort. That night .she lind n dream or vision. She described to j lis what sho she saw : but we cannot ro- ? member all, nor could we tell it as she JJ told it. It was a sermon in itself. Her j manner of describing tho scene Is iin- c pressivc of her faith and earnestness 11 and is touching in the extreme. Hut to ( results, for our space is limited. The next morning she discarded the ? rolling chair, and she can now walk about unassisted. She can also get in and out of bed, raise up and down, turn over, dress and undress herself, raise her hands over her head, her spine is straight and natural, her limbs which were much swollen and evidently dropsical, have swagged to their natural size, the color has returned to her skin, ami she says sho is iu uvcry respect anew woman. And the good work is still going on. "I am growing daily," she said to us, "growing hi grace, growing in faith and growing in strength, and I hnva not the slightest doubt that my restoration will be complete." And as < she speaks her countenance confirms i her testimony of tho faith that is in her. i We will only add that. the earnest lira vers ol all who know Mn \1. are th:it:is lior faith is, so may it be with her.?
