Tui Press, generally, Is disturbed
over the question whether Garfield
wll have wbhb on his table at the
White aoe. We have determinued
not to dine with him until that ques
ton 1a settled.
SOME days ago a Iteptublican witness
Js Forlida shot a Democrat for calliug
him a liar; whereupon all the stalwart
press announced, with fiendish howls,
that.a Democrat had shot a ReputWicau
witness for telling the truth.

T nE Green viJJe Nezws is earrying a
railroad on its shoulders, and we hope
will pull through all right. The pro

ought to increase the trade of the
Mountain City, besides giving Lau

A NUMnER of Nationial Banks, dis
pleased with the recent Funtding Bill
which compels them to take three per
cents. to secure their circulation, en
deavored to effet i panicon Thursday
and Fridav by v;ithdrawing over
twelve millions of dollars of outtttand
ing bills. They succeeded in givig
Wall Street. the worst seare it has had
since Black Friday, and for a time
stocks weint tumnbling headlong, and
money was so scarce that borrowers
paid as high as one and a half per
cent. a day for its usc. set-retary
Sherma n ordered the purchanse, nbuut
mid-day, of ten millions of six per
cent. b)ns, and alb hough only theet
milliois were exchanged for green
backs, confidence was restored so that
prices wentt. up to the average rhie on
6aturday. The United States treasury
has millions of dollars in its vauit;,
and can check any similar squeeze, by
conthining to purchase bonds. Finan
cial experts say that the general pros
perity of the country will preclude a
panic, and that the three per Cent.
bonds will find .a slow iut sure sale, as
Diany parties will prefer them at pair
to four per cents, at twelve or four
teen per cent. premaium ; and lastly,
that British capitalista will invest
largely in them, as they regard the
security of our government as super'ior
to that of any En~aropean nationa.
Shall the South Escort Garfield?
Because General Sherman a ppoin ted
Genera'l 'Field as one of the marshals
of the Garfield inauguration pr1oces
slon, some of the executive commiut tee
have declared that they will take no
part in any proces~sion that has a
"rebel" at :the head of it. The whole
Garfiek1 Ifanfaronade is undemocratic
- and nrepulican anyhow, and is cdan
gerous as a precedent. To add to this
objection .comes the brag of these
asses about "rebels." It is due to the
dignt of Southern companies and
Southermn indiv~iduals w ho have deter
mined to par'ticipate in This pag~eanst to
first ascertain whether thuese executive
conmmitteemen represent anybody but
the mselves; and itf so, to leave the
procession severely alone.
Tihe Cash Trial.
The trial of Colonel Clash for the
homicide of Colonel Shaunnon termi;
nafteLd, at least for the present, ini a
\ mistrial on Saturday, the jury having
. been locked n'p for' a dby ineffectually.
o one expected a verdict of' guil

'sgainst d1uelling' has hleretofore
beeni a dea~d lett er, and it w4ould scarce

the other' hand, however, this duelh
diiffered widely from other similar' re

itances. So Imperatively does the
code demand th a rictest courtesv' andl
circ'umspeftion, that a iy worId ot
abuse or disr'espect ina the correspoad
ence puts the wvriter beyond its pule.
Th'le published cor'respoundenace and1( the
testimony of witniesses at the trial,
showv that in this duel this Ipovislin
of' the code w'as not obse'rved. It was
not1 so mnuch! the duel itself'. buit these

the survivor of' this unhappy atlhir to
vinldiente the majesty of an ob.solete
statte. Bu tt this tal servesq not ice
hat participants in all f'uture duels

the law.
The practices of' a past genierationa
cannot be cited as precedents. The

civilization has recached that i";int at

Colonel Casth walked in with his coun.

diirk suit and wore a plaid shuivl Wung
around liS shoukiers. Ilis hat bore
a heavy circle of crape. Heconversed
often with his counsel, and gave ab
sorbed attention to the )roceedings.
Colonel R. J. Watts, of Laurens, one
of hlis counsel, -arrived this morning (
and appeared hil court. The Attornev t
General and bolicitor occupied seats
in front of the accused.
At the convonitig of the court the
benches wero half filled with white
spectators, and in the course of an
hour all the available space was pack
ed. The Court issued a bench warrant
for important State witnesses who had t
not appeared. The State aionuced
.that. although material witnesses were
absent, some on account of sickness, It
was ready. The defnse also anuiounc
ed tiir readiness.
The indictment Was then read. Col
onel Cash is soinewihat deaf aid dur

a foot of the Clerk to hear more per
fectly. It was a striking scene, Colo
nel Cash looking into the iface of the
officer while the long severe items of
the indictinent mid the description of
Coloniel Shainnona's wounds were read.
The Clerk seeined tiervous, but the
deFentdaiit did not flinch, but paid the
strictest atiention.
At the conclusion of the reading the
det-fendanut answered not guilty in a t
loud and firm voice in response to the
usual question. The forinig of the
jury then began, and the first jnror t
callfed being put on his voir dire, the e
State asked a sus peneion of the inquiry
foi- a moment. The-defend-int, being
deaf, did not hear this - aid accepted

acceptance and the question wits argued
for half ai hourat least.
The court then gave counsel on both
sides an hour to submit authorities oni

cided to hear testimony on the eligi

the leadink counsel for the delilse,

Mid he had tuit,'Ivtlle addressilng the
jti4
Pou the 6koseuif Mad #spain's Oi-.
mient, which was ingenious, affectig
anid hfikressive, Judge PresSiev deliv
ered bi*eharge to. the jury as follows:
THE JUDGE'S CHAI4E.
He said that this was the perform
ance of a must painful duty - for Judge
and Jury. - There was no doubt ot the
fict that the jeople 'of the Uiiited
States were descended frnom harbarou
races, and that the civilization 0'
Eutrope itself was a recent thiig, and
we ourselves wore just emerging to
light, and eVen vet rotainl s0ome0 traits
of that anteceloit barbarism. He!
compared the progress of Eiigland and
thle United 'States in the matter of the
supression of duelling. 11e had Io
sympathy with. a civilization that is
prompt to slander and defame, and
when taken tW task declities reparation.
No Christianity' or civilization was
worth a f'arthing but that which was
slow to give .Ofinso and qui-.k to ac
cord redress. The judge anld jurv, 110
said, had a duty to - perform, and in.
perioruing it had 10 right to regard
the usefulnepsf of laws or the tolerance
heretofore given a practice which he
regarded as a relle of barbarism.
Whatwairihonor? Was it one of those
weak, sickly flowers that the foul
breath of slander could wither? What
was it. that it was not firm enough, in
its purity, to wlithstand defamation I
This hiono1r to be retained only by the3
duel, was as false as tears of sand,
Judge Pressley gave various illustra
tions of the injustice of the Code to
participante ini duels, inl regard to the
relative skill, strength aind firmness of
the combatants. It could only be sus
tamied according to the duellist's own
theory of a vindication of tile honor 3
of tle stroge, cool and expert against
tile weak, the agitated and tile un
trained. The Judge alluded to the ex
treme difflculty of colsidering the I
subject as placed before the jury. But
the jur. could not stain thei' souls (
with erime because others had done
so. le thein charged that the common
law of' England ill relatlon to homicide
never hatd been disused in this State,
an1d the lawyer who doubted its pres- '
!nt forge Would doubt iltling. It 2
would be murder, under tle common i
law nlow obtaining here, where the
accused could not prove sudden pas-t
sion, Wile being attacked, in justilea- F
tion of killing. No iman could volull
tirily place himselfI' ill a post of danl
ger, and fith claini that lie killed
his alntagoillst in Self-delense. Solemn
ly betbre God and man, he charged
tle jury Oil the law Oil this point, thit,
accoiding to the law, tle of'eise with
which the prisoner was elarged was
murder, alid it was nothing else.
Tihe ciargo was listened to amid
deep sileice hy the multitude of' spec
tators. Colonel Cash leaned pensively
on it book and heard tile Judge's words .v
with a dejected iir. The jurv retired r
at 4.45-) p). im., and the crowdl in the ii
ourt, room thinned out.
