w. Tickling opened the argument, in
favor of the motion, McMaster was
heard in reply, and j. D. Pope closed
in reply. 1t was contended, that

rupt: In reply, it was urged, that

der the bankrupt from OBJ tanning his

cation, the Court refused to order
discharge of bail, but required that
the principal be surrendered.

We have hitherto noticed the trial
had in this city, during the past few
weeks, before military commission,
of O charge against E. Carter Harris
of conspiracy, with some five or six
freedmen, to obstruct the track of
the South Carolina Railroad, on the
occasion of the run off in November
last. The result of this trial has just
been published in orders. The find
ing on the charge and specification is
''not guilty" The freedman, John
Montgomery, confessed that he tore
up the rail from the track, but endea-
vored to implicate Harris. Hence
the above trial.

ANOTHER F1RE.-On Tuesday last,
the. dwelling house on Mr.. John
Rainsford's Burt place, was destroy
ed by fire, together with about 500
bushels corn, and all the furniture,
bedding, clothing, &C., of Mr.. Albert
Pruett, who was living in the house
at the time, and had charge of Mr..
Rainsford's planting interest on this
place. The fire is supposed to have
had its origin from the carelessness
of little girl, who had been sweep
ing around the hearth, and left the
broom on fire. Mr.. Rainsford's loss
is very heavy, as is also that of Mr..
Pruett's. No insurance.

Edgefeld Jail, overpowered the jailor
and effected their escape. None of
them have been recaptured. These
escapes are becoming of almost daily
occurrence.

For THE BENEFIT OF THE WIDOWS
AND ORPHANS OF DECEASED SOLDIERS.
At the request of many of the ladies
of Columbia, DIR. Henry M. Clark
son will read his poem Evelyn"
this evening, in the hall of Nicker-
sons Hotel, which will be kindly
opened by Mr.. Wright, for the
worthy purpose. AS we have before
said, the poem is well worthy of the
appreciation of our community. A
mere romance in prose would pail
upon the intellectual appetite; but to
enfold a story of the war in the
drapery of verse and rythm, and to
describe the battle scenes along the
Rarpahannock-the death of Maxcy
Gregg and others, and the events of
those stirring hours around which
memory still fingers lovingly-this is
charm reserved alone to the true
poet. AS such, DR.. Clarkson will
commend himself. AS an alumnus
of the South Carolina College, he
will also draw around him his brother
graduates, as we'll as the present
generation of pupils in the Univer-
sity, besides that entire community
who sympathise with culture and re-
finement. The hall will be open at
half-past seven, and the poem will
be read at eight. The price of tickets
is fifty cents. These may be pur-
chased at all the book stores, and at
the door. The proceeds will be de-
voted entirely to the good object
which is announced at the beginning
of this paragraph. The following
poem, by DR.. ClarksoD. will repay
perusal:
What the Angel Brought us.
BY HENRY NJ. CLARKsoN.
In the early days of Autumn,
In the bright Autumnal days,
When the Indian summer sunlight
Slants its soft September rays;
In my chamber lay dreaming
OF sick one dear to me
OF her young maternal yearnings
For life that was to be.
By her bedside I was dreaming
In the curtained light of day,
Till the purpling of the morning
Frightened into streaks of gray;
1 was dreaming, that an augel,
Hovering DER the loved one g couch,
Famed her with breath of Heaven
Healed her with a holy touch.
Seeming, too, to carry something
Something sheltered meath his
wing;
Then he laid it dcwn and left it
Left the wee but wondrous thing;
And he scarcely pressed the carpet,
Passing by me where lay
Touched me with his wing as lightly
AS an aspen-leaf at play.
Yet that gentle touch awoke me;
And the rosy flush of dawn,

Political Judges.

The Judges Of this city are out in force
az candidates for the State Constitutional
Convention. Two Judges Of the Common
Pleas, three OF the Superior Court, a City
Judge, and Judge Of the Supreme Court,
as well as three or four ex-Judges, are
soliciting votes for the office Of delegate. To
be sure their calendars are crowded and the
business Of the public is suffering In their
Courts; but what Of that They must all be
elected; for is not the elective system Of the
judiciary, to which they owe their places,
in dangers In the case OF the Judge Of the
Supreme Court there is q slight constitutional
difficulty in the way in the section Of the con-
stitution which says, "they (the Judges Of the
Court Of Appeals and Supreme CourD shall
not hold any other ofhce or public trust All
votes for either Of them for any elective ONCE
Except that Of Justice Of the Supreme Court
or Judge Of the Court Of Appeals), given by
the Legislature or the people, shall be void
But this Is only q triHc. The "6erce demo
oracle" will elect him in spite Of the oonsti
tuition.

The war Bstwecn Brasil and Paraguay.

The War between Brasil and Paraguay.
We learn from our South American corres-
pondence, that the war between Brazil and
Paraguay is likely to assume . new phase,
TO be terminated, perhaps, by the detection Of
the Brazilian allies. The people and troops Of
the Argentine republic are evidently disposed
TO break from their alliance with Brazil. The
Emperor Of Brazil, In . decree issued the 18th
Of March, urges the necessity Of increasing tho
Brazilian forces against Paraguay, in conse-
quence Of the withdrawal of great part Of
the Argentine army. II Is said that these
troops were withdrawn In consequence Of dis
turbances In the provinces Of the Argentine
republic; but tho real cause, 1t IL believed, IL
found In the desire OF both the Argentine
people and government to back out from their
alliance with Brasil. At all events this move
ment, whatever may be the cause, will
lead, probably, to q dissolution Of the
alliance. The war appears to have become
unpopular in Brazil also; for the National
Guard Of the empire seemed unwilling 70
leave home upon the Emperor calling upon
them TO 20 TO the war. AT the same time
Lopez, the Dictator Of Paraguay, held out -
obstnately ~ ever, and with ~ little prospects
Of being conquered.

The War In Mckee and the Lex TaIio~ss.
We give in another column the response of
the Mexican journals to what has been said Of
the killing Of his prisoners by General Esco-
bedo, and the points Of the protest Of certain
French ofacars in the city Of Mexico against
the act Of the Mexican general As these officers
contemplate the possibility Of being taken Of
an early day, It Is only natural that they
should object to such shooting; and as to tho
Mexican journals, we are glad to note that this
explanation shows their desire to stand well in
the good opinion OF the outside world Their
arguments give us an inner view also Of the
imperial status II ID urged, for instance, that
the real flag Of the Intervention was the dag Of
France; and that since that dag il gone out oe
the country, and since the French commander
declared upon leaving that all soldiers taking
service under any other forfeited the protsc-
ton Of France, there is really no longer any
Intervention as between nations, and that tho
liberal authorities have only to dsal with Some
disorderly persons whom they ohooss 10 can
bandits. We cannot forget that Macmillan
argued in the same way in 1865. Believing
the liberal cause hopeless, and that the resist
ance Of the liberals was no longer war, he
generalized all the adherents Of Juarex a.
guerillas and bandits, and ordered by Inn
perial decree that whenever taken they
should be shot within twenty-four hours. BE
also decreed death against all who con-
cealed them, gave them Information or sold
them food. Illustrious examples, therefore,
might be cited for regarding Escobedo's
act as justifable retaliation. We should con-
slider, however, that such applications of the
ler tdlionis are only excusable when they can
serve q useful purpose on the side of humanity.
Not word can be said in their favor If they
take the character Of mere revenge. If the
shooting Of prisoners by Escobedo were needed
to prevent the shooting Of prisoners by Maxi
milan, it might be proper enough to shoot
them but that necessity no longer exists, and
Mexican generals should now see that they
have an opportunity to put their conduct be-
fore the world in admirable contrast with the
conduct Of their invaders. By his own decree
Macmillan must have executed Juarez if he
had taken him last year. Let Juarez now take
his revenge, if he captures Macmillan, BY
sending the would-be Emperor safely to Mira
mar. The effect of such an act would not be
lost. Let the Mexicans not initiate the conduct
they c0nde mn.

MIR. Glads.one,s Resignasion.

The Atlantic cable brings the news that
Mr.. Gladstone has written letter, in which hs
virtually resigns the leadership Of the liberal
party. This resignation is an important and
significant event. It shows that in Mr.. Disraeh
the tory party has leader who excels in
the tactics and strategy Of political war
fare, and who has proved himself to be
more than match for Mr.. Gladstone, whoss
halfway measures have resembled but too
closely the temporizing, halfway policy Of
General Mcclellan and other leaders Of the
Union cause during the opening years of our
late war. It also shows-and herein lies it,
chief importance-th John Bright now stands
forth as the General Grant of the liberal party
in Great Britain. He "will fight it out on that
line," which must eventually lead to glorious
victory.

The Southern Relief BsII.

The Ladies' Southern Relief Association
announces . ball and supper at Delmonico's
tomorrow evening, for the benefit of the en-
barrassed and distressed people Of the South
ern States This is very good movement in
some respects. It will afford an excellent op-
portunity for the benevolent ladies to enjoy
themselves, and we are disposed to endorse il
more on that account, than with any expecta-
ton that the festivity will result 10 much benefit
to the South. The amount received will be
but drop in the bucket compared with the
claims which the widespread want and desti-
tuition of the Southern people make upon our
sympathies. But then to the ladies who have
nothing else to do this ball will undoubtedly
prove q godsend. They cannot 60 to Wall
street and indulge in the excitement of specu-
lation SO nearly akin to gambling; but, as .
substitute, a ball at Delmonico's may answer
very well to fill up the tediousness Of the hour.
If the undertaking keeps these ladies busy
upon any charitable project, there is no cause
for regret that their time should be thus occu-
pied. Some time ago charitable works were
confined to the negro, and the principal agents
were found in the class of what Ii known a.
strong-minded women. Relief for the South
has resurrected the sympathies Of different
class. But if these ladies would only in6u-
ence their husbands and male relatives to
divert the employment Of their capital from
wildcat schemes and Wall street speculation
and invest 1t in the purchase Of lands,
in building factories, reconstructing railroads,
and infusing new life into the South, they
would accomplish more beneHcent results than
q hundred balls in New York can ever
achieve.
However, we are very glad TO know thss
the ladies are interesting themselves to tho
extent Of getting up ball for the relief Of the
Southern people. We commend the generosity
of Delmonico in furnishing the rooms and
supper free, while We admire at the same time
the adroitness Of this mode Of obtaining good
advertisement We can readily conceive how
little good the few hundred dollars raised
from the proceeds Of this ball will do
TO the Southern country, which has an
area not far short Of that Of Southern
Europe. Compared with liberal Investment
Of capital in enterprises calculated to lin mp
the South from It's present impoverished condi-
ton, such . contribution must prove meagre
indeed. Yet the husbands Of those ladies,
who, animated as they no doubt are BY tho
most humane motives, have given so much
Of their time to getting up the ball, will NOT
invest dollar in any undertaking to assist
the South unless they are assured Of twenty
or thirty per cent interest on their money. How
much better would II be, then, for these char
table ladies 70 induce their husbands to i'm
vest capital in enterprises such as we have
indicated, from which positive and material
benefit 10 the South would ensue. Charity
balls for local purposes are oten fruit
full, profitable and useful Take, for ex-
ample. the ball IN hAhslf af tha CAiAolia
