The CATTLE TaADE--one OF the unfortun ate
results of the late war was the wholesale draft
made upon the cattle in the State in order to feed
the army- The stock -raisers have never recov-
cred from this demand upon them, and the Charles
ton market has been supplied cnly by the few
cattle that had escaped the clutches Of the Com
missary, or had been hidden in the swamps at the
time At the close of tho war every one became
anxious to push their stock to market in order to
raise money for supplies, and the cattle were col
lected from various parts Of the country, and
shipped to Charleston. This tended to lower the
price OF beef at the time, but the temporary sup
ply was soon exhausted, and the butchers were
thrown upon their own resources to furnish the
market. The railroads were not completed, and
there was no means Of bringing Tennessee etock
INTO Charleston but by driving them, which was
laborious and expensive.
Formerly cattle were brought in large droves
from the West and Florida, but the war has pro-
badly drained both Of these sections Of their re-
sources, as the supply has been extremely
meagre. The meat market Of Charleston has been
GRADUALLY deteriorating and advancing in price,
until at present the quality and quantity are far
behind the palmy days Of yore. The high price
charged, twenty and thirty cents per pound, may
be owing 70 the want Of sufficient stock but with
the facilities for transportation now presented this
Is inexcusable, and the condition OF the market is
great tax upon persons Of every class, but par
tcularly upon the poor, who are often debarred
from the use Of meat by the e1orbitant prices de-
manded. tE y ~. .@.a aessSEaisa
Ten and fifteen cents was formerly considered q
fair price, but with the advantages for trans-
portation, twenty-five and thirty cents is now
charged, and the meat Of all Ends is decidedly in
ferior It is singular that the caterers Of the mar
ket do not endeavor to procure an abundance Of
meat Tor certainly at the present time the quality
and the price are such as only necessity would ac-
cept.

had bought q small piece Of land and had com: d.
menced planting. He had induced the daughter
Of the defendant to marry him, and had, since the

combined evidence tended to show: that the prose-
cutting parties had been plainly at faplt and
in short perjured, 1; II. .-3f. s, III,

ton essayed any argument: and with q short
charge from the Judge, the case was left to the
Jury, who without leaving their seats, returned
verdict OF not guilty. #aa5 s5
n When the verdict was rendered the Attorney
General made motion that a warrant OF perjury
be issued against HANLEY, which was concurred in
by the court, and ,HAz1Ex was arrested for the
1nisdemeanor. s#55 . MIDI
The evidence elected IL this case plainly proved
that the charge was brought BY malice, as Mrs.
BoILoUaH and her immediate family were proved
to be honest and hard working, and their conduct
was guaranteed by many Of the most respectable
Witnesses in the noighborhood. :S Ste Z. $s ssTae:
HARLEY and his wife were not only indicted for
perjury, but strong suspicious were raised that
