If one is tobe held, therefore, we hope it witt be short, euick as? decisive.-Orangehary Times. In the U. 8. Court in Charleston tatt w*ek, Col. Haskell called the attention of Judge Bond to the lae! that the United States Commissioners have been issuing warrants of arrest upon affidavits made merely opon iofetaation and belied without special inquiry into the truth of charges. Thereupon Judge Bond addressed a letter to Jes. E. Hagood, Clerk of the Court, which will bo comm a nie* ted to the United States Commissioners throughout the State, m which he says no warrant of arrest or se?are should be netted upon mere be? lief or suspicion, but that the Om mis? sioners should examine into the sources ol the affiant's information, and: the grounds of his belief. The letter goes on to say that there should be no arrest until the Commissioner ie certain there ? a probable cause. This is about tan? tamount to sn order, and will doubtless save eaauy of our citisens much iocon ' eoience. The Baltimore Day, having seen the above letter, says it hu always had a very BOOT opinion of Judge Bond, bot now rejoices to see a desire to do right being developed within him. 8BTTLSD DOWN AT LAST. A special despatch to the New* and CWser says : While Samuel Lee waa unsuccessful in hie attempt to oust Mr. Richardson from hie seat in Congress, he bes, after much persistent begging at the depart? ment!, finally succeeded tn obtaining a berth at five dollars adey and expenses under the general lend office. He is appointed a special land agent for the detection of fraudulent entries of public lands sad assigned to the State of Al?? banla. Congress gave one hundred thousand dollars to be expended for ! tate purpose, at the discretion of the de KUncut, and a number of agente have n sent oat. Lee leavee for hie new field of labor Monday, the 9th. We must confess that Samuel de? serves some credit after all. Such another ease of dogged persistency of j one in quest of office is scarcely on record. Doubtless the administration found this the only way of getting rid of him; and so to free themselves of ?hat proved to be an annoyance, they have foisted him upon the Alabamians. We eay farewell to Samuel without any marked sesee of sadness, and again we say it, ..Farewell, Samivel." THE BHD OF THE SIM? CASE. At the sitting of the Conn of General Sessions in Colombia, the following let? ter waa read from Mrs. Sims, whose husband wes on trial for abusing her. The letter and her refusing afterwards, 00 the stand, to testify, end the ease : COLUMBIA, S, C., April 6,1883. To the Court: I respectfully decline to be sworn asa witness against my husband in this eaee and protest against being made to testify. I did not wish my husband prosecuted, but ooly de? sired bim bound over to keep the peaee. 1 did not know the contente of the affidavit drawn up by the officer until after the arrest was made, end then I did not go before the grand jory at Aiken because I did not wish my hus? band punished, and I only came here because I did not wish to be brought under arrest, as bench warrants were issued to bring me The eireumstancce of the ease have been greatly exagger? ated by idle rumor. My husband bas inflicted no bodily injury upon me, and I have long ago forgive him for any wrong be may hive done me. I wrote ! the solicitor that I wished the proseen , tiou stopped, and I now pray the Court not to destroy the peace and happiness j ; of our family and the welfare of our child by forcing me to testify in this eaee. Meet respectful ly, Mas M. D. SIMS. It seems that solicitor Bonham was anxious to push the eaee, and compel Mrs. Sims to testify ; bot Judge Hud? son ruled that it was not competent to compel ber to .do so. Mrs. Sims thank? ed the Judge for his liberality, and left the court-room. Upon hie rel?ese, Mr. Sims met his wife at the depot, where he conversed with ber briefly. He promises, st the proper time, to make a statement which wilt satisfy the pub? lic as to the cbsrge made against him. In tbe language of Mr. Joshua Billioge, we must exelsim, "0 women ! womao ! thee art a bard egg ! Valuable Prises. Nothing ie more remarkable than tbe unusual interest which has been taken in astronomical mattere by the American publie during the psst two years. To such an extent hu tbie been true that hundreds of people, who formerly felt little pleasure in the enbjeet, now pos? sess their telescopes and eeareh tbe heavens nightly Desiring to still farther encourage this most leodable ambition, I offer two hundred dollars for each comet discovery made during the present year, subject to the follow? ing conditions. 1. It may be discovered either by telescope or the naked eye, but must be unexpected, exeept as to the comet of 1812, which will probably reappear du? ring the year. 2. The announcement of tbe dis? cover) must be made confidentially aud exelutively (by telegraph) to Pr. Lewis Swift, Director of the Warner Observa? tory, Rochester, N. T., and to kim only. Tbis announcement, with the name of the discoverer, will be imme? diately cabled to Europe, announced in the associated prece dispatches, and sent by special telegram to all tbe leading American papers. It is essential, in order tbst this may be correctly done, that tbe above specifications regarding the exclusive communication to Dr. Swift be followed to the letter. S. The telegram must give the time of discovery, the position, and direction of motion if possible, sufficiently exaet to enable at least eoe other observer to ] find it. "Three disinterested astrono? mers will be selected by Dr. Swift to decide all disputed questions. H. H. WARNER. Rochester, N. Y.t April 2d. 1883. WASHINGTON LETTEB. [From oar Regular Correspondent.] WASHINGTON, April 6, 1883. President Artbor bas at length found an opportunity of breaking awaj from official cares, and is now en route to the everglades of Florida, where, free from the restraints of the ExecstWe Mansion, he can revel in the warm sunshine* in? hale the perfume of the magnolia, pluck the orange from the tree, and resign himself to ell manner of pleasurable sen? sations in the bright land of perennial flowers. He started Tb ora da j morning bj special train, accompanied by Secre? tary Chandler, Mr. Miller of New York, and Private Secretary Phillips. Mr. Edwards for the New York ?fun, and Mr. Eddy for a combination of papers, also went with the party. Among those at the station to see them off were Assistant Postmaster-General Hatton, and a number of newspaper men. The President took with him a large supply of summer clothing and fishing tackle. He seemed exceedingly cheerful in view of his 'outing,' and ex? pects to remain in Florida as long as he finds the weather enjoyable. The President's selection ?f a new cabinet officer caused surprise here, bnt at the same time was received with al? most universal approval. Judge Wal? ter Q. Gresham, of Indiana, isa man of conceded ability, great force of char? acter, and decidedly literary tastes. He is a favorite, sod might be called a pro? tege, of General Grant, having been promoted during the war through Grant's recommendation from a colonel to a brigadier Generalship, and after General Grant became President was by him appointed U. S. District Judge for Indiana, an office which he still retains. His name nae been mentioned in con? nection with prominent places for years, was under consideration by President Garfield for hie Cabinet, and would have been cboeeo had the Republicans of Indiana been able to unite heartily in aaking bis appointment. He is now holding court in Evansville, Ind., and cannot reach thia city before tbe middle of next week. General Joseph K. Barnes, (retired) formerly Surgeon General of the Army, died at his residence on H Street Th ore day morning. General Barnes was one I of the medical staff that attended Presi? dent Garfield in his illness, and for faithful service in that connection waa to have been retired with the full ' rsnk of a major-general. He will be buried with imposing military honors. For the first time in teu years the cash tn the Treasury is being counted. There are sixty persons engaged in the work, ! and they will be several weeks in com- I pleting the examination. Every thiug ie being counted twice. The first time by the committee, and again by the represen uti vc of tbe Treasurer. The count so. far bsa shown a deficit of five cents in a bag of silver, and an ex? cess of six cents in the accounts of the j interest teller. It is devoutely hoped the discrepancy will be explained as the work progresses. The first Star Route trial lasted fif? teen weeke. The twenty-third week of the second trial has begun, and the end still appears a long way off. Mr. Merrick closed hie cross examination of Dorsey Wednesday, which marked an epoch in the history of the trial. In spite of the witness' unconquerable aversion to pinning himself down to an accurate recollection of anything, Mr. Merrick by a rigid and restless cross examination succeeded in extracting from him some admissions valuable to the Government in the trial. Much was developed to show that Ex-Senator Dorsey was the Chief conspirator, that the headquarters of th? combination wee tn his owo residence on I street, a square from the Garfield boose, and that he furnished the money from his own pocket for starting the scheme With all his shrewdness he tripped more than once during the cross ex? amination. The last day he was on the stand, after persistently denying that he bad kept any books at all (the most positive manner he could devise for contradicting Rerdell's testimony,) be momentarily forgot himself and charged Rerdell with having stolen a book from him. He saw his blunder in sn in? stant, but so did Mr. Merrick who took immediate advantage of it. Mr. Vaile, another of the defendants, finish? ed his testimony on Thursday about two o'clock, and after the manner of his co-con ?pi ratora, swore vigorously to his innocence. But it is not an easy task for several men to put together a story composed of a little troth and much falsehood and give to it the re? quired consistency odder the ordeal of cross examination. Mr. Vaile was fol? lowed on the witness stand by John W. Dorsey, a brother of the ex-carpet-bag Senator. Mrs. Ex-Scnator Dorsey and ber sister, Mrs. Peek, were present at the trial Thursday.
