Judge Pressley Thinks it would be Improper fcr Em to Try the Case, and Gives His Reasons. During the morning session of the court on Tuesday Judge Pressley an nounced that all parties interested in the Jones-Johnstonc case should be iii the court promptly at three o'clock to determine if he should try the case. At 3 o'clock the court room was crowded, evincing the interest manifested in this cause. We give below the remarks of the judge and the attorneys interested in this case. Solicitor Duncan repre sents the State and Y. J. Pope, 0. L. Schumpeit and J. Y. Culbreath repre sent the defendant. Judge Pressley said: "It is very well known that it will be to we a very un pleasant matter to try the case pending before the court. If that were all I would not shrink from the duty; but my circumstances are such that I really doubt whether I am not within the cou stitutional disabilities-at all events, so a nearly so as to make it entirely improper for me, in my opinion, to try the case. To begin with, the father of the deceased t and I came to the bar together nearly a fifty years ago and our relations from that time until now have been of the most intimate character. My relations to his family have been also of the same t intimate nature. So then, it would be utterly idle for me to pretend that I do not feel the deepest sympathy with him and with his noble wife. t On the other side some of the defen- t dant's family have been the friends of t my life-of my whole life. His uncle and other relatives, three several timest, b became the chief sureties on my bonds b for $100,000 each when I was a:-sitant United States Treasurer. About that t time there was an inter-marriage in the t family, and his other and near relatives are also my relatives, and that feeling tl of relationship has a!ways been recog nized. I feel that he recognized it C when I was first a candidate for judge. ri We had not seen each other for years it before that. I had not seen him, and he " had not seen me; and yet :e supported C( me most warmly and I have no reason a to believe that he did it for any other al reason than that he recognized the fam ily relationship between us. At the e: second term he nominated me and made b+ a very flattering speech in my favor. tt To be sure, we had become acquainted I then, but I am confident that in the first I regard it was family rel itionship that fr caused him to give me his support. The 01 members of his family in Charleston are very near relatives to me, and though I ti am not within the letter of the constitu. w tional prohibition, L.am satisfied that my it feelings are such as to bring me within tc its spirit. I therefore think it improper for inc to lc try this case, but, as I do not desire to d be the sole judge in the matter I am ri now ready to hear what either side may 0] have to say on the subject." tl: Col. Y. J. Eope, senior counsel for the defense, rose, and in an impressive man- Ia ncr said that no member of the bar couid th have sat and listened and remained in- di sensible to the utterances of the Court. tr He felt satisfied that there was niot even a member of the community who could ti have been insensible to the utterancesb that have so dignified the bench mo-day, v( and he would state that there was not a wv member of the bar or of the community d wvho did not feel that the court was not b in thme slightest degree disqualified .from W bearing the case and holding the scales of justice impartially. He said that it was an occasion of great solemnity to the whole community and that the issue was one which the people were anxious i should be met at the fIrst moment, fur ti it was disorganizing the business of the w community and delaying the business of re the court. Although there might be a feeling of sympathy in his Honor's heart al for the misfortunes of the families of the .T deceased and of th~e accused, yet he did ti' not think that that sympathy was of such in a nature as would disturb the equilibrium k< of the mind of the Court. Righit would conquer all difficulties; he appeared an. ti the part of the defeinldant a,s his life-long f frienid, an4 from his desire to promote pl the interests of the county he must rc earnestly ask the Court to sit and dis.. ha pose of the case; because eventually it as must be disposed of. Justice mtast- be 0 done to the defendant and sooner the. ustice was done th'e better. In conclu, r~ sion be said:; "I implore your Honor to se sit here and dispose of thIs business at b this term of the court." 1 The Court: "The qu;estion with me sI simply is, that of the propriety or impro- ir priety in doing so in view of the Con- ri stitution." C Mr. Pope: "I cannot see from tihe. yi law in the case. that y'our honor will by 0 debarred. Thlere is not th'at near re- n atiosnship which Is so specifically referred am to, and which wvould Imply an iimpro priety." -i The Court: "Let the Solicitor in wvhat ~ he shall have to say. apply himnsclf to h the questioni of the' imiiropriety of the g mattLr and to the danger to wvhich I c< would subject my own reputation." b Solicitor Duncan: "Section (I of Art lele bi 4 of the Constitutyn provides tha't i.no, idge shall p)res'de on' tihe trial oif any is cause in the yent of which he may be tI interested, or wh9re eithbr of the par. ties shamg be conmeted with him by af, al finity or consanguinity n ithin such de, grees as may be prescribed by law, or in ' which he may have ben counsel, etc.' rL The Legislature has not by law~ pre - scribed anything, nor has there been any enactment on this point, so th.at the l.Lw in this ca.,e is the' corutitution as It ?tns Am I mOndrstanid it, the distine- 91 (ion isbtena rlatioinship by blood, K and a relationship by con neetign--y P virtue of mlie Imarriage. O other w~ords, M! he avlto ia rehted by couingunity is so by blood, There have not been, C anmd there do not exis.t anIywhere in this community any parsons who have ai.y y< mi-givings of the integrity of yo.ar ~ Honor as t" a .r.a og this dause. Butih (ha is not 'tlie qnestion involved here. ti: l'h'e question is simply whether von ought under the prescription of th~e con stitution. to sit and trg chiese. I ant un~willing, although representiing the~ State. to go on after the anoiuncement c;i of your Honor of your disinclination;il indeed, if you desire to be relieved of t duty in this case, I am the more gnwi:- w ling because of rgy knowledge of thie ex.: B press wIshes and desi es' o'f those wh o d represiant Nie deceased in tiiis prosecu- y fion. They'do not ~dasireaana do not want to put upon yourlIonor this so dis agreeable duty. I speak this after a full conftrenee with them, and having learned your Honor's position. I do rot know but what your Honor comes wven N ithin the letter of the crnstitution. 1 our Honor has not stated the degree of -elatioi-ship; but you have stated a con eetion by marriage between your :onor a,.ti a near relative of the 1efen lant." The Court: "I would state that Mr. rohnstoUe's cousin married my wife's 'iece." Mr. Schumpert, of counsel for the de ense said that he could but repeat the act that the defense rno:t urgently esired that the case should go on nd even after all the statements that ad been made. The defendant had ery high rights in this court, and :1 his ehalf he would speak. The defendant as entitled under the laws of this State nd of all civilized countries to a speedy -ial, and it was that trial which he now rged most earnestly. It was only fair aat after this thing had gone abroad all ver the land, the defendant should have chance to vindicate himself. Even nder the strict letter of the constitu on, where all the parties consented, re State of South Carolina should waive nything like the spirit of technical ob etion. "What we demand," said he, is that this man shall have the oppor mnity of vindicating his name in the .ce of the world." Mr. Culbreath, of counsel for the de nse, regretted the position in wich 1o defense was placed. He thought) nit the public interests demanded a ial. Mr. Johnstone, the defendant, as a biwyer at the bar and the de :ased had relatives also members of the ar. As a consequence he was of the uinion that the sooner such a case as is was tried the better would it be for te administration of justice generally. e had not examined the authorities on te subject, but he knew as a matter of et that certain Judges of the Supreme ourt had heard cases involving the hts of parties related to them. But, must be admitted, that no objection as made at the time of such trials. In inclusion he said: "We are very ixious for a trial and will be much die >pointed if4we do not get one." The Court : "I am grateful for the :pressions of the attorneys in this case, it, whatever people may think, I know at I am not free from the infirmities of iman nature, I do not think there is a an on the face of the earti who is free am them, and that is my deliberate inion after a life-long observation. "The defendant desires that Ishall try is case.' The Solicitor intimates that it Duld be improper for me to do so. Now is clear that if it were possible for me have a leaning in this case the State uld have a right to assume that that aning would be in favor of the defen nt, and the defendant would have the rht to assume the same thing. So my >inion would be that I ought not to try e case, and therefore-" Mr. Pope interrupting, "Your IIonor's st observations have touched us and er efore we will withdraw our earnest sire that your Honor sit upon this The Court: "Thben let the ease be con ued. But I was going on~ to say that fore leaving home I consulted some ry prudent friends and their opinion as that although ! was not within the sabilities of the Constitution, it would improper fo.r me to try the case. I ill mark it continued by the Judge." P~resentmfent of the Grand Jury. To His Honor 1$, C. FrA.se?y, Presiding edge;.

The wild phantoms and shrieking arles of a worthless humbug can make money by imposing upon the credulity and ignorance of an honest public, and the supply of this species of work seems more than an adequat.e demand. The enunciation of facts-facts that have stood crucial tests-facts proven by brain force and tangible evidence, should satisfy all laudable enterprises ; but the k execrable practice of teachIng false ideas and doctrines for self-aggrandizement is truly reprehensIble and should be f scorned by all classes. When one house tells you that Iodide of Potash is a poison simply- because their oppone'ths use it, and because they are~ pandering- to your ignorance, as they - suppose, you should ioook upon all such as arrant frauds anId their remedies as unworthy public confidecnce, and If those who make su~ch, assertions do not know better1 they are a set of unenviable ig noram useis, Doctors and Hot Springs. Hot Springs failcd entirely to cure me St of several terrible, indolent running ul- V cers in my legs, with wvhich~ I have been w~ troubled for many years. Several doc- v: tors also-e,tte:apted to cure me but failed. Si i haive used only a few bottles of B. B. A 13. (mnad'e at Atlanta Ga.,) and the effect ha:s been truly magical, as they have all F' healed and I am cured, it is worth all B medicines made for p)urifyinlg the blood.
