the Recent Terrible Affair at Washington.
On last Sunday afternoon, in tho most aristocratic
Mjunife of tlie federal capital, and under
the very" dropping* of the Executive mansion ,
one of {.he most distinguished memliers of the
lower liouftfc of'Congress encountered and killed
t6te la$ officer of the government for the District
o'f Columbia. Both Mr. Sickles and Mr.
Key were men of high attainment*, good social
position and eiiended popularity?both in the
prime' of life?both in the outset of distinguished
carefcfo. One deliberately violated the sanctity
of his friendV fireside, inflicting upon Ins
bontJh thfc deepest possible stain. The young
wifo of Intel ffirmif^n l??>f
vowt, her duty to lier hu*pand and children.?
The proof was indubitable: the outrage*! bus
band obeyed the first, impulse of injured human
nature; the polished, highly bred, insouciant
man of the world was changed in a moment to
the savage seekfng the life of his enemy, who
was cent to his Maket* unrepentant, unannealed.
Asa matter of course, such an affair, with
gricli circuftstAncea and such surroundings, could
bSt fail to'create the most interne excitement
wherever the ?wift,wi?jga of the telegraph co'rtveyed
its.particulars. In all ita aspects the uftnir
a most lamentable one. IIei*6 are two
'families desolated at one blow?one life sacrificed
and others made forever miserable. Public
opiriiori w'ilV. we ppprehend, be almost unAnimoua
in frivor of M'K Sickles. He had admitted
Mr. Key to hi3 fireside anvl bis table, to
the socieli* of hiB wife and children?that
fategic cite!*' where the man, wearied and bated
fti political discussions, could seek and find the
Obly repose he might know on the face of the
earth. The circumstances go to show that- this
peaceful and happy existence was deliberately
invaded, and then desecrated, by the seducer.
It cannot be denied that such circumstances
will go far to excuse the sudden vciigennce
which Mr. Sickles wreaked upon the head of
Mr Key, answering his hand, offered in the
disguise of friendship, nt the muzzle of the pistol.
Distinct, also, is the inference (hat the
punishment to be meted out to Mr. Sickles,
who lift* deliberately violated the laws of his
country, which he was especially bound'to nipport.
will bo mitigated by the Tr.tft that his Btifforings
have already b'e'eti more terrible than
anj* torture which the most ingenious inquisitors
could ever ii'n-.'e invented. No jury in
"Washington frill ever convict Mr. Sickles of the
mnr^pr^f \fr< .TiTtt? ? ? -1 ~ 1
the crime, ami so lonjr ns (lie assailant shall
live, bo loifg will the memory of that terribl?
Sabbath be present in his waking hours. mid'
disturb his deepest slumbers. If the. aim of
the law is entirely exemplary, its action is entirely
unnecessary in such cases na this. No
judicial action could point a moral with more
severity than do the circtimstances attendant
upon the killing of Mr. Key by Mr. Sickles.

The Democracy?It* Extravagance and
Corruption.
In 1852, James Bucliaban wrote n letter on
Economy in Government ExDenditures. in
which he said:
"These expenditures have not now readied
tfie enormous sums of $50,000,000 per nnnum,
and unless arrested in th^ir advance by the
strong arm of the Democracy, may iu a few
years, reach $100,000,000."
Let us Fee how Mr. Buchanan's practice
tallies with his theory. So fur from a check
being put upon such extravagance by his parly,
the expenditures during the second year of his
Administration come within three million of
the Inst named amount. But hear what lion.
A. II. Stephens of Georgia says about the Ooverument
expenses. lie is reported to haVe em?!.
r ii- ??
F.ujvu luiiuwmg language in u recent
caucus of Democratic Representatives:
"Mr. Stephens of Georgia, said1 when ho firet
entered Cfotigt-eas in 184'}, the expenses of the
government were only $30,000,000 pe> annum.
The country had gone through the expensive
Mexican war, with sixty-three thousand soldiers
in the field, for thirty three millions, and now.
in time of peace, the estimates were seventythree
millions. Many expenditures were
wholly unnecessary, and reform was indispensably
needed. He believed forty millions an
abuodance for the national expense, lie wns
therefore opposed to an increase of duties, and
said the expenditures should be brought within
the perscnt receipts."
lion. Andrew Johnson, of Tennessee?also
good Democratic authority?referring to the
same subject, said in a recent speech in the
Senate:
"It is in the powers of Congress ti'prevent
these enormous expenditures; and il we do not
interpose, we are rcsponisble fur I hem. Tins
Government, sixty-nine years of ope. nearcely
out of its Bwaddling-clothes, is making more
cotrupt uses ot money in proportion to the
ntao'uirfc collected from the people, as I honestly
believe than any other government now on the
babitablir alobe."
Gen. Shields, one of the Democratic Senators
from Minnesota, in the course of a debate in the
Senate, a few days ago, also took occasion to
ay:
"I think it is not saying too much to declare
that this countrj* has goue faster and further,
id ten years, in extravagance, than moat other
countries have done iu centuries."
Atlanta (Ox) American.
The Adulteration of Liquors.
A writer, who is said to be thoroughly acquainted
with the aubject, in a brief cummuni.
crttion addreeaed to the New York Post, confirms
thd'current reports as to the alarming
um of improper ingredients'ih the manufacture
of wiDes aDd liquors':
" Wines, particularly," he aays, "have been
analyzed by competent chemists, who declare
that not one drop of wine can be found in the
whole composition; and this poi&onou* stuff is
purchased oy the lower order of groggeries in
this, and by at least one-half the country storekeepers
and country hotel keepers, and at the
aarae time they themselvet know when they purchase
the article that they are eouuttrfeit. They
excuse themselves in this way; 'pure wines
and eptait* are 40 high in price that we cannot
make a ;pf*>fit upon them: and in the m>v?.
place, tHiTcdhntly "people don't know tlie difference
between th^ i>im? and the adulterated.'"
But the same writer'frdfy:
" Wines can now be obtained just as pure as
they could 60 years ago, but thtf'prices range i
much higher. For this reason not'to .drop of
good Maderia has been made since 1551, nnd
for the last five or six years the vintages of
sherries, ports and clarets have produced hardly
one half of usual quantity, and much of
that poor in quality. Consequently, Madeira
which eight years ago cOat ?50 sterling, now
cost ?80 to ?90. Sherries which cost ?45, now
cost ?70, and ports the samd. Still, plenty of |
fine pure .wines can be had, but at much higher I
rate* than formerly." I

Our Oourt.i
The Spring term of our Court 5s now in Session,
his Honor Judge AVhitner presiding, with
liis usual courtesy nnd urbanity. Monday
morning, xvus ushered in with n perfect delugo
of rniu which threatened for a time to suspend
the business of Uie day by preventing the attendance
of jurors, w it:iesses nnd necessary parties.
The weather however cleared off and
the Court was organized in due time.
After an impressive charge from his Honor
the Grand Jury, proceeded to consider the
bills submitted, involving cases of libel, bastardy,
unlawfully whipping a slave, unlawfully,
ov.-i.iiug uru lu me woous, emu oxi)milim* a
dead body, for the purpose of dissection?This
last, though rather a novel ease, his Honor
charged was clearly an indictable offence, nnd
the fact that the subject was a negro, did not
change the character of the misdemeanor.
The Summary I'roecss Docket presented few
cases of litigation, und was dispatched on the
first day.
An. interesting question was raised' ns tc the
liability of a Sheriff to a Landlord for rent in
arrear, under tho Statute of Ann and our Act
of lfc)3y. The Sheriff had made a levy upon
the tenant's goods, but before selling, the execution
under which he acted was satisfied, nml
considering that hd had no further1 authority
in the matter, he surrendered the goods and
thus deprived'the landlord of his remedy whose
right of distress was gone. The qucrtion Was
nririliul o pithi n.*n!?iat tl?n III .
? ?, * . ???v ?nv 'J'.UI III . Aim
Honor reserved his decision, but intimated
pretty strongly, thai l>is dpinion w'us against
the recover}'.
The greater port ion of Thursday wc.5 oicnpied
in the trial of a case of I>:isturdy which
from He comparative rarity in our Court excited
some interest. The defendant made ail elaborate
defence biil was convicted!
The Issue Docket presents quite n forir.ldable
number of cu es?fully enough we suppose
to give employment to the Court during the
week.
To guard against abuses under the late law
allowing jurors mileage, his Honor required
each juror before receiving his ticket, to state
on oath in open Court, the distance of his residence
from the Courthouse.
The members of the Bar in attendance from
other Districts are Messrs. Summer and Itaxtcr
of^ewberry, Mr. Harris of Laurens, and Messrs.
Marshall and Sloan of Anderjoti.
The Mexican Sketches.
i? v ciuiiiiiuna 10 i no attention of our readers
tlie continuation of the Incidents oftlie Mexican
war to be found on our lirst p*2e, The writer
with his heroic comrades in 'inns has surmounted
the burning sands nnd pestilential vapors
of the vomito region?the terra caliciUc,
and his graphic pen finds full scope in sketching
the lovely scenery of the terra tempfwii?
the orange groves of Jalapn, and the thousand
objects of attraction which refreshed the spirits
of the volunteer on that memorable march.
We have found the sketches very interesting
and in this opinion our readers generally con- |
cur. They arc chaste, simple and picturesque i
in style, nnd have that fidelity to nature which
constitutes the charm of narrative nnd description.

It is difficult says the Journal of Commerce,
characterize hucIi a movement in fitting terms,
but as its effect, if passed into a law, must be
to bring on, sooner or later, a conflict between

moderate, so also is the domain] : no large
amount, of wheat, corn or flour could be fold at
present rules. I'ere are the fuels. White
Michigan.wheat is quoted at $1.50?now and
then 601) to 1,000 bushel* could he vrorked off
at that ; 5.000 or 10,000 bushels iu one lot
could not be sold?no one would touch it. So
with red winter Western, $1.35 to$).:i7 is the
quoted price, but no man can sell O.ouo bushels
in one lot at these figures. So with corn?mixed
Western is held at 87c., b<:t there are no

These facts should bIiow our produce dealing

There is now in New York and Ronton nil
the flour, wheat anil corn that will be needed
until iiext harvest, without an increase in the
present receipts. And in regard to corn, I w'U
state one fact?the crop of tiie State of New

man, and she will make up the entire deficiency
of theexports from Illinois during (.becoming

useless to lament over that which was lost,
that we must, now turn'our eyef to the erection

Codification of tho Statutes.
A writer in tlio Charleston Mrrcury in the
following communication, ngain brings to the /.
public notice lllvdvlay in carrying out ilie pro- c
visions of the fecfent net of the Assembly for g
the Codification of our Statutes. I$y the term? ii
of tho Aot it was ir'ndc the duly of the Court si
of Errors, to appoint a Commission consisting p

country find the Judges upon the bench, hnve t
long urged the necessity of the measure, and s>
the Public I'reM ir. vcrfoud portiono of. the t
State, is now enforcing the appeal. The Leg- t
islature yielding to public opinion has passed a
law onthe subject, n.id it rests with the Judges to ?
carry into effect its provisions :
Mr. Edito+i At the last sessio- of our Leg n
islature an aet was passed when tliu Court v
of Errors was empowered and required to up- a
point Commissioners for the ptoper revising s
mid codifying the Statute Law of South Caro- i]
Una. Nothing is said in the aet, it. is iruas |

perescleet ions, ntul have adjourned without ne- l
ting at all in the matter. Can it be possible s
that they cannot find any one in tlie State c
competent to the tusk ? This will do to delay n
upon, like a great tunny other pretexts and ob- s
jeetions dwelt on by the Legislature for the t
last century, but it will not do, like them, to s
be investigated with the eye of reason and t
common observation. f
In the j'ear 1822 or *23, there was a rcsolu- e
! tion introduced into the Legislature, bv whom '1
I have forgotten, and referred to the Commit, il
t>'C on the Judiciary, making it the duty of
that committee to inqon-e niul report as to the
expediency and practicability of codifying the
statute law, when Mr. John S. Griinke, i*S ehhiV- j
man, snbmittid u most elaborate report, of
some forty pages pamphlet, in its favor. The r
report, for some reason now difficult to 'TTvine, Ii
was laid on the table, but. not ini'tjfinicely, or j
the subject matter of it at least, for a' Mie next (
session it was referred again, and again reported
upon favorably; bv't! e.f before, no net ion '
was taken on il by the Legislature. This state
of thirirs' has <j?>nt :nt. rd up to the last Legisla- v
lure, when the set."before mentioned was enae- d
ted. The Judges have ull been in favor of the | n
undertaking, a3 evidenced in their charges to C
| 'Ac Grand Juries of the country. The Grand c
Juries have made presentments, all over toe o
State, reeoni'^t'iiding the matter to considera? Ii
tion of the Legislature, an I the people, ail of I
whom that are competent, of judging, are k
strongly in favor of it. And are t lie efforts and n

Nothing can be more Tninous to the interests

of ita best unimproved lands by tbia lat- C

to many. that often nearly whole counties are
held in this.manner. For the reason that the ^

that it should take place at a time when 5

Tho Crisis in Mexico.
Our ldtcst advices from Vera Cruz, says tho
ferald, allow tlifcl on tlist line of operations a
mis in approaching for tho constitiitionnl
overnment. Mirainon is inarching to attack
s stronghold, and if lie possesses the means for
lielling the city for a short time ho may gain
ossession of Vera Cruz ; for though the conLitutionalists
are strong enough there to reist
an assault, they have hardly foroo enough
o drive Miramon out of the field, and if he
L'ts himself resolutely down with a few morirf>,
it is doubtful how long the passive resis
unco of the garrison will last.
But the driving of t!>e Juarez Government
i?it of Vera Cruz does not extinguish it any
norc than the. driving it out of Gliadnlnjal"/!
nd Col mm l>y Csollos. It can cotno to tin?
lorlli, and joining Vidnurri,' organize the
vliok* of tlie northern and northwestern States,
,nd, with tile. co-operation of Ajvarez in the
until, eventually driveout the priests and solliers
who are now fightinj for " religion and
irivileges
It is stated that a portion of the Anglo tench
fl?et is to be sent frotn Vera Crur^o
\unpico, to exercise upon the suhorilinate ccntitut
iotial government there the same power
f soueeziiiL' which it pnfnrnnil <>n Hio
1 ^
'overnmciit of President Juarez ; nnd further
dviees from Washington say that the admit sti'iition
seriously contemplates recognizing
lie government of Juarez, and receiving Senor
lata its Mexican Minister. In ease of its bong
compelled to evacuato Vera Cruz, this
rould be a v aluahle service to the eonstituionnl
party in Mexico. The advent of Lerdo
!e Tejada in the Cabinet of President Juarez
ias riven his government n m< re determined
loliiicul character than it before had, ami
rings to a just and popular cause the aid of
:n?>\vii praet.ieal statesmanship.
The very possibility of Miramon taking Vera
'ruz should induce our government to pre'are
for action. He is the legitimate succesor
and representative of the government of
luloagn, which drove our Minister with insult
roni Mexico, and plundered and outraged our
ilizens reeist.ed there. Hitherto we but] no
irny of reaching it, bcause it held nono of
he seaports of t he republic. Hut the moment
lirumon takes Vera Cruz, if he succeeds in doug
so, we should be prepared to net. Spain,
jigland and France have brought their power
o bear adversely on the unrecognized and un
upported government of President- Juarez,
ouipulling it to atone, in part, fur sins comlilted
by others. With greater justice, we
oniii >[ nig iioiuu iu inner* mic kiiis nicy
licmselvcs liave committed. The course p.ur? .
u??d l>y the European Powers betokens n tor
lious policy on tlieir part, nnd one in nowise
riendly to the interests of this country or the
.tablislimcnt of liberal principles in Mexico,
'heir action has lieen prompt and 'lecinive iu
Ls results. Our3 should be eo, likewise.

Birth'Place of Andrew Jackson.
In reply to a paragraph from the National
rilclligci'Acr, which has been frequently copied
e-''cutly, to the effect that General Walkup
as established t.iiut Gen. Jackson was born in
lecklenburg County, N. C., at the house of
leorge MeOamie, nnd near the South Carolina
ine, the Lancaster Jsdger cottelTikively eays :
The traditional testimony'upon the pniiit, as
re have before had occasion to slate, is contraictory.
Gen. Walku|>, of course,, published
one l>ut siteh as favored the claims' of North
lurolina. Previous to the publication of these
ertilicntes, we bad giYen.a Httecinct statement
f the clairr? of Lliit? District to the disputed
lonor. Tliia wh# bused upon the highest auhorily
novv living?the belief and traditional
nowledge of the relatives of Gen. Jackson,
,ow residing in this District.
Did the mutter rest here, the question might
till seem to be in doubt; but.it does not rest
icrc: we nave in our tovur the direct and un
jiialitieil testimony of Gen. Jackson himself.
Vo published an original letter from hiin in
iiifwer to p.tt enquiry i*pon the very point in
jiiestion : tliif, to every candid mind, should
ie conclusive ; for although the evidence of
Jen. Jackson. coming direct, tw it inuat have
lone from his mother and' thcuc present at
iit> birth, might. I13* n"rrn-rc"i?6ssiUility, be in?
orreet, yet it iscef airily entitled u?'"prefernce
over mere hearsay ; und this hearsay,
Deed mainly upon the recollections of old \voncn,
having no direct interest in the question,
uch as (Jen Jackson niwl his mother nro sun
>osad t'/hnve l:tfJ; and whose ideas cf localiy.
and boundary are in general'ttiost vngue
.nil. unsatisfactory:
Oijce or twice before the death of the old
lero, this question of birth place was raised
letween South and North Carolina, and cnch
it'iej?-"'.tas settled, or seem to be bo, in favor
