Heard vs. Brata*.
A corporal's gaard of farmners me
in the Court House on Saturday last
and Mr. T.' S. Brice took occasion t4
indulge 1i some personal reflection
on the editors of Tai NRws ari
HERA..D. Ho seemed to think that w
were "upstarts" and sadly deficient i
the matter of "boards."
Our objeotions to Mr. Brico are of
a different line. We think he has
vastly more beard than brains.
We think, too, that he is cne of thi
last men that ought to court a contro
versy to be settled with intolleotua
weapons, but this is a matter for bin
to decide; it is enough for us to kn or
that in the simplicity of his under
standing he has indulged in an unpre
Yoked personal attack trpon us.
We, therefore, take occasion to sa
to Mr. Brico that we are perfectl
willing that he should masquerad
around here as the tall to Mr. Til
man's kite, and flop and flop as ofte
as he wants to, but we warn the ge
tietnan that if he ventures agal
around this office in the ostentation o
his bearded superiority, we will shea
him closer than Delilah over sheare
Sampson.
Acquitted.
It will be a relief to the many friend
of Mr. George Johnstone throughou
the State to know that he has beei
promptly acquitted of the seriou
charge which was preferred agaius
him, and which had been the subjee
of some unfavorable comment in thi
public press.
This was natural; the lips of thi
defendant are always properly sealei
after a homicide, and it is but natura
that ex parte statements should invoki
unfavorable reflections. The safe
plan for the public and the press t<
pursue is to pass no opinion until thi
defendant I as been hoard in his owl
behalf; to disregard this rule is it
nine cases - out of ton to prejudge hi
Case.
Mr. Johnstone and his friends hav
felt aggrieved towards the press
especially the News and Courier, bu
whatever that grievance may hav
been, it must now be entirely re
moved, for after 'hearing the whol
ease the News and Courier was a
prompt to vindicate Mr. Johnstone a
it had previonaly hernn to censure hin
* with the lights that wore then befor<
Everybody, while regretting the un
fortunate eircumstancos which culmi
nated in the tragedy in which Mr
John B. Jones lost his bright young
life, will be glad to know that Mr
Johnstono acted only in sell-defence.
Mr. Johnstone is a young man o
truly eminent ability; he carries thi
promise of great usef\tlness. Hoe hai
been promptly vindicated by twelva
of his countrymen, sworn to truly try
the issues, and weo join in the univer
sat desire for his nutur'e success.
The Cotton Plant.
What a royal plant it is I The worlk
waits in attendance on Its growth.
The shoi; that falls whispering ori
its leaves is heard around the earth.
The sun that shines on it is tempered
by the prayers of all people. The
f-ost that chills it and the dew tha
descends from the stars are noted, and
the trespass of a little worm on its
green leaf is more to England than thc
advance of the Russian army on hei
Asian outposts. It is old 'from the
instant it puts forth its (Iny shoot. Itt
fibre is current in every bank, and
when loosing its fleeces to the sun ii
floats a sunny banner that glorifiot
the field of the humbler farmer, thai
man is marshalled under a dag thai
will compel the allegiance of the
world, and wvring a subsidy frow
every nation on earth. It is the hori
tage that God gave to this people
forever as their owvn when he arched
our skies, established our mountains
girt us about with the ocean, loosed
the breezes, temnpered the sunshine
and measured the rail. Our's and
our childron's forever. As princely a
talent as ever camne from Is hand tc
mortal stewardship. H. W. GunD.
The Aequaittal of Mt.. George Johnstone.
(2VNeto and (lourier~.)
The promptitude withr which Mr.
George Johnstono was acquitted on
his trial for the murder of Mr. John
B. Jones at Newberry in March last
is nilly accounted for by the evidence
as published in the News and Uourier.
There is no room to doubt that the
killing was in self-defense, and that
* ~ Mr. Johnstone was entirely free ni'omi
blaaio.
It is shown, however, that both
Johnstone and Jones were armed
when they entered the Court-room in
which the fatal encounter took place.
Mr. Johnstone had been led to ox peel
an attack, it is true; but the attack
could have been prevented. The vio
lation of the State law against carry.
ing concealed weapons gave Mr. Jones
the means of imperriluing Mir. John
stone's life, and at the saine timeo
caused' him to lose ihis own. H-ad
both* Jones and Jo9hnstone been up
armed: when the immediate cause of
the mortal combat arose there would
have been time for reflec(ion and for a
peaceful settlement* of differences.
Still It Is evident that, if Mr. John
stone alone Ihad been unarmed he
would, In all probability, have Leen
killed on the spot.
We iobserve that, in the report of
the trial, it is stated that both the
conpqi for the defence fond fault
with ~the press, for 'various publica.
ti a and ,osnm nt, We are no
aware that special fault has been foun
with 'comments of the. News an
, in_'these columns. They
wi arrated by the facts, as Thry
~o, could be as4ex'tained, But,i,
i $ ~ing;ofa dspatch announchig
In tion to apply for rolese on
1 r. J'oh se ,was sty ed a
4 rer. s of ocourso was
both noorrect and wrong. Although
the result of pure thoughtlessness, it is
none the less to be regretted.
Mr. Johnstono, as we have said, is.
completely exonerated, and, we are
confident to the entire satisfaction of
the public. None can regret more
than he regrets the awful necessity
9 which circumstances im osed upon
him; but there was no choice, no alter
native. A man of proved courage,
character and capacity he is ow free
to continue a career whlch cannot fail
to be honorable to himself and advan
tageous to his fellow-citizens.
