"Judge Islar did not render his deci? sion ia the Keels ease this morning as waa anticipated, bat still has the matter nada? consideration and will make known his ruling as soon ai be has had tea to review all the mots folly." Tba above extract from the Sumter correspondence of the Columbia State, of tibe 18th inst, b misleading. The Judge gat* BO intimation that he desired time folk considers ?ion or review of the facts. The Rule issued on motion of the bar was supported bj affidavits of tho Pres? ident and Solicitor of the Simonds Na? tional Bank, of Mr. A. F. Cousar, (maker of one of the notes.) of Dr. Stackey, endorser of two other notes alleged to have been altered and uttered by Mr. Keels, and the affidavits of two members of the bar of fset that true bills 'for forgery had been found by the Grand Jory on two of the notes and offer to produce one of the notes for in? spection. Tao only answer to these was the unsupported affidavit of Mr. Keels .denying each sod every allegation of j the above affidavits. Farther than this no issue was made j os the foots; and this ia more apparent from the persistent request of Mr. Keels* attorney that the Rule be con? tinued and the answer thereto be not required sstil after the trial at the Fall Term of the indictment* pendiog ; as the disclosure at this time of bis de? fense (which of course eould rest solely upon proof of facts) might prejudice Bim in his trial under the indictments. Tba troth is, because of the gravity of tba charges sad their novelty in Sooth Carolina, the Judge desired time to consider maturely, not tbe facts, bat the law of the ease, and particularly to the peints whether the Circuit Judge bas the right for any canse to revoke tba commission of an attorney issued by tbe Supreme Court. Secondly, ad? mitting his right to either suspend or disbar, whether it could be exercised by bim for an offence, however heinous, not done by the offender in the exercise of a right or duty as an attorney, and bj virtue of his commission. Thirdly, whether be bad tbe right to suspend or disbar for sets done on which indict? ments had been found and before the trial on the indictments. Fourthly, Ad mitti og this right, thea whether it would be the exercise of a sound discr?? tion to suspend or disbar pending the Indictments. Judge Izlar showed his sound judg? ment in determining to consider ma? turely these propositions before decid? ing, for be bas to lay down a precedent both as to the law and practice of dis? barment ia Sooth Carolina. As to. "persecution'* by the whola bar oil Sumter, the least said by Mr. Keels' fri 30ds the better for him. SPARTAK MORALITY. Tn the Bishop vi He Eagle of the 18th inst., is an editorial on the J. R Keels trouble. The following is an extract from the article : ..Had it (tba forgery) not thus been discovered the chances are, Mr. Keels would have taken it up st maturity, and the public would have never known it or no ona been hurt by it. It ts evident tbat ha did not intend to swindle or burt anybody, as he took op the notes as they came due." This is too bad, too bad. Bro. Shaw bas been hitting sinners right and left all through this hot sommer weather, and his editorials almost make one be Heve ba is a parson in disguise, and not a sinner like the rest of us. Be whacks the irreverent over the head for misconduct at church, (or his corres? pondents do it for him), he pictures in norning words the horrors of drunken? ness, tells bis readers the sics of tbs gaming table, and even in thc very issue ia which the above extract is found, warns the law breaker from carrying ont his intended crime. Iodeed it has appeared to be a truly moral sheet, bat Cling for right and treading down wrong ; and now the Keels editorial toast spoil it all. Sn our boyhood days we studied something about Spartan history, and jMDOBf other things their kiodly feeling towards theft. Stealing was no ort me anteas found ont ; in fact, considerable honor's attached to the persistent and successful rogue, and it was only the blundering foo), who had not sufficient cunning to cover bis steps, who suffered from the wrath of those truly moral people ; and it looks as if the Eagle was becoming Spartan-like in this for? gery basiness. Nothing seems as bad n bo ut it as the discovery of the crime. Does the Eagle really believe what it (jays ? Does it think that a man ean go voluntarily into crime, and repeat that crime time and again, getting deeper each time, and then voluntarily retrace bis steps, and no longer travel the road ?o rain ? It is not io haman natore. and conversion from wrong does not leeor in such cases except wheo trought> about by discovery. We make no pronuciameoto of the 4?a?? ST innocence of the accused, but simply ase?me for the parp?se cf argu? ment that tfje opinion of the Eagle as Id bia guilt is eoffecL That being so ?be regrets of that paper at the discov? ery af sa gra?e anrime, mm lingalarly unfortunate ?n sp yi?;arous a defender of good morals. ? THOSE RAILROAD SHOPS. tts th? fall of 1888. upon certain Suggestions made by the authorities of the Eutawville Railroad Compauv to the effect that if the eity would donate the land to the company it would build its shops here, a resolution was passed by Council, tending toward the carrying ont of the unselfish suggestions of the company.

Hyde k Reynolds that he could not come for afewdajs. He will probably be here on Saturday of this week In jr be meantime, the subscription to the capital stock of the Company is increasing, and there seems to' he good ground for the expectation that the mill will be built in time for the fall business. The subscription lists can always be found at the office of Hyde k Reyjoi??, and parties living out of the city can have their names added by writing to these per,! lem?n authorizing such subscription. As soon as Mr. Ormes reaches the city the subscribers up to that date will be asked to meet him, to arrange further for the organi? zation of the Company.
